| Booh! said: To cut a long story short: both those Qur'an are not Uthmans Qur'an or copy of that Qur'an (if it ever existed). None of them was ever scientifically examined (wonder why). However the one in Turkey is at least from the 8th century ( http://www.islamic-awareness.org/Quran/Text/Mss/topkapi.html ), the same goes for the one in Tashkent ( http://www.islamic-awareness.org/Quran/Text/Mss/samarqand.html ). The oldest Qur'an known is the one (very incomplete) in Sana'a, which is from ~710/720 CE. |
Very good post, the Sana'a is also not recognized as a version of the Qur'an and the person who made it popular (I honestly forgot his name) was not the best person to be once he translated it. From what I understand parts of it were missing and it is written in a very simple form of Arabic making it very hard to interpret.
I'm Unamerica and you can too.
