Re: Quran data and issues in encoding the Quran in unicode

[Abdalla Alothman <abdalla at pheye dot net>]

Asalamu alaikum wa rahmatullaah.

What is the name of the source and location (web site?)
that you got the Quran text from? If you have no idea,
check surat al-nour (sura #24) aya 7 and 8. If you spot
an error there, then keep in mind that this source--the
text file--has a few errors and a lot of inconsistencies.

I posted a message to USENET some time ago regarding this
source after nobody (web sites using that source) cared to
correct the errors it had. See:

http://groups-beta.google.com/group/soc.religion.islam/msg/9dc4294fc5bb157c?dmode=source&hl=en

If that's the same source you are using, I had a list of more
than 176 errors and inconsistencies, but I forgot it in my hotel
room while traveling. I remember most of them, though. :) Insha-Allah
once you verify if you have the error in surat al-nour I'll try to
juice my memory with you. Else, if you don't have the error,
you are probably using another source that I have no idea
of.

Wishing you and your family peace and good health.

Salam,
Abdalla Alothman
