> رسم المصحف توقيفي لا تجوز مخالفته. the way Quran was written in is Tawqifi [ie. no place for Ijtihad] it wasn't an opinion of Othman ibn Affan nor it's an opinion of the prophet PBUH > على أن كتابة كتّابه للكتب التي كان يرسلها للملوك والرؤساء كانت على رسم > الكتابة العادية، وعلى غير الرسم الذي كانوا > يكتبون به الصحف التي يكتبون فيها القرآن حين نزوله، مع أن المملي واحد والكتّاب > هم هم. على أن التزام الرسم العثماني > للقرآن، إنما هو خاص بكتابة المصحف كله، when prophet PBUH send letters to kings, his writers used the conventional writing spelling not the way they used when they write Quran as it reveals [prophet Muhammad recite and they write, then prophet Muhammad ask each to recite what he have written to review that] the difference between writing style between letters [spelling way] and Quran verses [othmani way] despite that they are the same writers indicate that they are told to do so brother khalid mentions examples like having the word قرآنا [recited as Quranan] without alif in chapter Yousif ans Zukhruf but keeping the alif in other places also indicate that they are told not to use the conventional spelling writing style but a special tawqifi style --- brother Hamid, we in ojuba.org put project Othman on hold for now to concentrate on thwab 3 http://www.ojuba.org/wiki/doku.php/thwab/%D8%AA%D8%B7%D9%88%D9%8A%D8%B1_%D8%AB%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%A83 because Quran is well publicized even if every single copy is burned, Muslims will be able to recover an authentic copy because of the big number of Hufaaz who remember Quran by heart and they have Ijaza ie. a continuous Mutawatir narrations that led to prophet Muhammad [yes they are still alive :-) ] if you have any suggestion about future development othman we would love to receive from you, send us core /AT/ ojuba /DOT/ org we will continue to develop project othman, and we would love to know which feature to add in next release _______________________________________________ Developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.arabeyes.org/mailman/listinfo/developer
