The fragments of a nearly 1,400 year old Quran have been scanned in for anyone to read. The University of Birmingham found the fragments of the ancient Quran which may have been written in the time of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).
Below the pages we have published the University of Birmingham’s scanned images so that Muslims can read pages not read for centuries.
Thanks Shoaib!
Will you please give the relevant verses from the Quran in vogue against the writings in the manuscript under discussion, for easy comparison?
Are these the only pages they have found or there are others that have not been scanned?
Regards
From my understanding these are the only pages. There is four which are very old and the rest are more recent.
Thanks

Hi Saud,
Interesting points raised in your article. This is one of the reasons why in my Sky News interview I said Muslim scholars ought to have a look at it too.
Thanks
