I'm interested to know about the history of Arabic myself now. In particular, I've seen conflicting comments about the use of diacritical marks in Arabic on YouTube. I'm concerned there could be people willfully lying about the evolution of the Arabic script.
Even a layman can easily see Kufic Script has no diacritical markings and those marks are what help to give Arabic words their meaning. Without them, the words are much more "flexible". Perhaps that's where the seven Ahruf (or however you spell it) come in? Anyhow, if anyone has any interesting links or books then I'd love to see them.
Maybe I should have posted a new topic?
