As salamu alaikum In the following video Sayyid Ali Abul Hassan presents his argument against the claims of distortion of the Qur'an He firstly explains a principle which confirms that distortion could not have occured, and follows with some supporting arguments against the alleged objectives of distortion.

Al-Salam Alaikum, My late mother confidently commented on a painting of mine where I wrote the surat el fatha (el Hamd), and followed the script of online as well as my hard copy quran books that show the spelling of the sirat in this way صرط She kept telling me the spelling is wrong, and that there is an aliph missing after the r. I kept telling her "But Mamma, this is how it's written in the books." Now after seeing this video, it seems that she could be right after all, as this ancient text reveals: I can clearly see an aliph in the middle of the sirat. Honestly, to me it makes a big difference, as it stretches and gives breathing space to the word. Why would anyone change it in this way? Any ideas? Here is an 11th century Iranian Kufic script that confirms the same. We find an 'ا' making it صراط and not صرت , with the aliph being demoted as a tashkeel figure floating above the ر in the modern texts I've seen. Even though there are other known variations in the quran in certain words such as 'samawat' , or heavens, sometimes written with or without an aliph in the middle, this one struck me harder. First of all, because of my mother's instinctive criticism of my spelling in my art, and of course as it's in the heart of the "oft repeated" 7 verses, which are like the opening gate to success. In addition to this, the topic of the sirat is more than crucial, as we all have to cross it in this life and the next, where it will be a literal bridge to paradise, crossing through hell, with gates taking to the fire. Anyway, this is an interesting topic that I spontaneously thought of sharing here after finding this video randomly on YouTube. I didn't yet analyse the rest of the words to see if there are further inconsistencies with today's versions. Thanks, and waslaam. Labayka ya Hussein

Assalāmu ʿalaykum. I recently came across a page saying the Quran had been subject to Tahrīf. They presented evidence from the oldest Qurān found. Can anyone give an explenation or refute this? https://www.hubeali.com/articles/True-Shia-Beliefs-in-Quran-Majeed.pdf Comparisons can be seen at pg.9-14 Please I need an explanation. My Imaan is getting low
