> Researchers at the German University of **Tübingen** recently announced that they had found an ancient copy of the **Holy Qur’an**, written in **Kufic script**. Based on the available indications and evidence, this copy may be considered the oldest Qur’anic manuscript.
>
> The **International Quran News Agency (IQNA)** reported, citing the media website **Commdiginews**, that the research of these scholars indicates that this Qur’anic manuscript was written about **20 to 40 years after the death of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)**. It is believed to be attributable to **Imam Ali (peace be upon him)**, who became the caliph of the Muslims in **656 CE**.
>
> According to the magazine **Medieval History**, this Qur’anic manuscript dates back to the years **649 to 675 CE**. Since **Imam Ali (peace be upon him)** was among the few Muslims at that time who were able to read and write, it is considered highly likely that this manuscript was written in his hand.
>
> According to researchers at the university, this copy includes from **verse 37 of Surah Al-Isra’** to **verse 57 of Surah Ya-Sin**. It was written in **Kufic script** on **high-quality parchment**, which has preserved its quality over the past **1,339 years**.
>
> It is worth mentioning that another Qur’anic manuscript is currently preserved in **Sana’a**, the capital of Yemen, and it had previously been believed to be the oldest Qur’anic copy, as it dates precisely to **671 CE**.
>
> It is also noted that this latest copy of the Holy Qur’an, most likely attributed to **Imam Ali (peace be upon him)**, will soon be displayed at the exhibition **“Holy Books – Holy Places”** in the city of **Antwerp**, Belgium.
