overmind on Nostr: Islam existed before Saudi Arabia and the country is not the arbiter of religion. ...

Islam existed before Saudi Arabia and the country is not the arbiter of religion. They will try to change the text because Saudi Arabia is currently trying to "modernize" and detach from religion. I doubt they'll succeed in changing the quran, judging by past attempts that failed and were met by a strong reaction from the Muslim world.

As for the "mistakes" they mention (and I highly doubt there is 2'500 of those), I saw a study that in summary questioned if the quran came down in the Arabic language, who had the authority to put those rules? Because that would dictate how we understand the text, and there are instances where the text doesn't follow these rules, that's a rabbit hole by itself. I'm saying this because these mistakes could be thought of as following slightly different rules from traditional Arabic (if we were to believe the quran is the unchanged word of god)
