  • Investigation on the Ancient Quran Folios of Birmingham H
    Investigation on the Ancient Quran Folios of Birmingham H. Sayoud Investigation on the Ancient Quran Folios of Birmingham Halim Sayoud http://sayoud.net SUMMARY In 2015, some scientists of the University of Birmingham discovered that four folios containing some ancient Quran manuscripts dated from the period of the Prophet’s companions ( i.e. few years after the death of the Prophet ). In fact a radiocarbon analysis showed that there is a 95.4% chance that the parchment on which the Qur'an fragments were written can be dated sometime between the years 568 and 645CE. This means that the animal from which the skin was taken was living sometime between these dates. Furthermore, we know that the Prophet lived between 570 and 632CE, which makes this discovery quite interesting by showing that this manuscript could be one of the oldest manuscripts in the world, or at least dating from the first centuries after the Prophet death. In this investigation, we are not going to confirm that discovery, but only checking whether the ancient text is similar to the present Quran or not. The first results based on character analysis, word analysis, phonetic analysis and semantic analysis have shown that the Birmingham Quran manuscript is similar to its corresponding part contained in the present Quran (Hafs recitation ). According to this investigation, it appears that the Quran has been safely preserved during the last 14 centuries without alteration. 1. Introduction on the Birmingham Quran manuscript The Birmingham Quran manuscript consists in four pages made of parchment, written in ink, and containing parts of chapters 18, 19 and 20 of the holy Quran.

  • Appendix 13 Sarehole Residents' Association Response to The
    Appendix 13 Sarehole Residents’ Association Response to The Boundary Commission Proposals from the Residents of Green Road, Keel Drive, Burke Avenue, Moseley, Birmingham B13 Our part of Moseley is not Sparkhill South. In terms of its environment, social and historical links it is Moseley: shops, churches; local businesses, schools; and all the Moseley organisations that make up the community. We have no connection to a proposed Sparkhill South Ward. We are a small enclave: a corner of Moseley, one mile from Moseley Village centre itself. We are bounded on one side by the River Cole, with variable access via a ford to the Hall Green area; on the other side direct access by road to Moseley: its centre; its surgeries; cafes; pubs; festivals and Farmers’ Market. Moseley is where we belong; and we are part of its vibrant community-driven culture. As you will know, Moseley, last year, was voted the best urban living environment in the UK by a panel of Sunday Times judges; and featured widely in newspaper articles. The ward boundary structure facilitated a cohesive approach to effective local government within the community. In our recent door-to-door survey we contacted 35 of the 42 houses in Green Road, Keel Drive and Burke Avenue. The proposal to include our part of Moseley in Sparkhill South Ward was rejected unanimously. There are no working links, common issues or affinity with Sparkhill South. One Sparkhill South councillor, dealing with a heavy workload of different needs to ours, could well cause our part of Moseley to be severely marginalised.
