The Original Quran: Dated 800 AD In Kufic Script of the Time of Prophet Muhammad (Freedom From Jihad Book 0)

The Arabic Script of the time of Muhammad did not have the dots (to distinguish some consonants) and dashes (vowelization markers) that we see in our Quran today. The Arabic Script that we use today came after the time of Muhammad, so how did the people record the Quran at the time when Muhammad revealed it ?

According to Islamic Tradition, The Original Quran was recorded on Bones, Leafs, Animal Skin and memorized by different people in various fragments. The Caliphs who came after Muhammad (Abu Bakar, Umar, Usman, Ali) codified, collected and compiled this material into the Original Quran that was written in the Kufic Script. This is what is contained in this ebook.

Since the Kufic script predates the Arabic script of today, the Quran that we have today was derived from the Original Kufic Quran that is available in this ebook.

Written in gold-leaf Arabic letters of kufic script of the time of Muhammad, this Quran was probably made in Iraq before 800CE and is the only known complete example of its kind.

This was acquired by an American named Johns Hopkins in a 1942 bequest. Although the real value of this Quran cannot be determined by finite means, its material value at that time was $1.9 to 2.9 million.

Turkish officials asked that this Quran be returned after it was displayed at Baltimore's Walters University Art Gallery in 1997. In 1999, the Johns Hopkins University returned this volume of the Koran to the Republic of Turkey to be reunited with the second volume in Nuruosmaniye Library in Istanbul.

This Quran may be difficult to read even for those who know Arabic because without the dots and dashes one needs to have a good knowledge of the language and the Quran to decipher the script, but Casting your eyes on the ancient pages of the original text; that was the source of the Quran which we read today, is a sublime experience that you should not miss.
