Pages that were discovered bound within the pages of another Quran from the late seventh century
Pages that were discovered bound within the pages of another Quran from the late seventh century at the library of the University of Birmingham are believed to the oldest version of Noble Quran, according to scientists.
Written in ink in an early form of Arabic script on parchment made from animal skin, the pages contain parts of the Suras, or chapters, 18 to 20, which may have been written by someone who actually knew the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him and his progeny, Daily Mail reports.
The pages were carbon dated by experts at the University of Oxford, which showed it could be the oldest Quran in the world.
