    Rare copy of Qur’an on display

    Quote
    LONDON: The British Museum here witnessed on Thursday the installation of one of the oldest known copies of the Holy Qur’an from the 8th century as an exhibit for a major Islamic exhibition.

    Quote
    The British Library has lent the copy of the Holy Qur’an to the British Museum for the exhibition: Hajj: Journey to the Heart of Islam, which is set to open to the public on Jan. 26.

    The Ma’il Qur’an is the oldest object to go on public display as part of the British Museum’s major exhibition dedicated to the Haj, the pilgrimage to Makkah in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

    This manuscript is from Arabia, probably copied in Makkah or Madinah and dates from the 8th century, one of the earliest in existence. The script is known as Ma’il, meaning sloping, on account of the pronounced slant to the right, and it is one of a number of scripts developed in the early Islamic period of the copying of the Qur’an.

    Quote
    In this copy of the Qur'an, as in other ancient fragments, there are no vowel signs or other aids to pronunciation, and the end of each verse is indicated by six small dashes in two stacks of three.


    ........................

    well whatever,  I wonder what is there inside of that 8th century Quran.

    Well then hajj pilgrimage along with that kaaba stone  should be moved to LONDON from that sand land ., and fromthere we can move it to Pakistan.,  The lands needs some serious money.. Once we make Pakistan as Islamic pilgrimage center ... lot  Muslims visitors and lot  of business.., I think Saudi Arabia should be split in to 4 countries.. and apart of it should be given to Juice and Palestinians

    Do not let silence become your legacy.. Question everything   
    I renounced my faith to become a kafir, 
    the beloved betrayed me and turned in to  a Muslim

    reminds me of the documentary with Dr.Puin.. you know the one where they found old quranic scriptures in about 20 potatoes sacks in yemen  grin12 (i couldn't make this stuff up even if i tried)
