WRITING THE QUR’AN THROUGH THE CENTURIES

In this lecture and visual presentation, we will explore the history of the written Qur’an from the time of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) up to the print and digital eras. =
We will discuss issues of the Qur'anic text transmission and Qur'anic writing systems and techniques, including Rasm (orthography), vocalization, scripts, marks and colors.
The presentation will feature several of the Qatar National Library's significant Qur'anic manuscripts from the first centuries of Hijra (7th to 10th centuries) through the 20th century. Special attention will be given to the earliest known Mushaf written in Qatar.
After different examples it will focus on the beginings of Surah Al-Isra (chapter 17) as a base for the presentation and later ones. Moreover, Mostafa Al-A’zami’s (around 1930 - 2019) book “Ageless Qur’an Timeless Text” will be referred to as well.
The lecture will be delivered by Dr. Ahmed Khalid Shokri, Professor of Qur’anic Studies at Qatar University, with contributions by Mahmoud Zaki, the Manuscript Librarian of Qatar National Library.
