  • Clarification On Differences In Arabic Text Of The Quran

    Posted by Zakir Hossain on March 13, 2025 at 8:53 am

    While reading the tafseer of Quran (2:23-24) in English by Ibn Kathir on the website alim.org, I noticed some difference in the Arabic text (Quran 11:1):
    الركِتَـبَأُحْكِمَتْ ءايَـتُهُ ثُمَّ فُصِّلَتْ مِن لَّدُنْ حَكِيمٍ خَبِيرٍ
    Elsewhere the text reads as follows:
    الٓر ۚ كِتَـٰبٌ أُحْكِمَتْ ءَايَـٰتُهُۥ ثُمَّ فُصِّلَتْ مِن لَّدُنْ حَكِيمٍ
    خَبِيرٍ
    Why is there a difference between the two texts? In the first, it is ‘kita-ba” while in the second it is”kita-bun”. Does this have to do something with qirat, something else or is it a printing mistake?
