Ibn al-Bawwab - Qur'anic Manuscript

description

Summary

Chapters XCI-XCIV. The script he has used in this Qur'an is considered by many to be a naskh-rayhan variant, rather than pure naskh. This Qur'an is thought to be the earliest existing example of a Qur'an written in a cursive script. It is also important as an early example of a Qur'an copied in a vertical format on paper.

In Muslim tradition the Quran is a final revelation from God, Islam’s divine text, delivered to the Prophet of Islam Muhammad, through the angel Jibril (Gabriel).
