Old manuscripts of the Quran

Most of the early original Qur"an manuscripts, complete or in sizeable fragments, that are still available to us now, are not earlier than the second century after the Hijra. The earliest copy, which was exhibited in the British Museum during the 1976 World of Islam Festival, dated from the late second century. [Lings, M. and Y. H. Safadi: The Qur"an, London, 1976, No. 1A. However, there are also a number of odd fragments of Qur"anic papyri available, which date from the first century. [Grohmann, A.: Die Entstehung des Koran und die altesten Koran-Handschriften", in: Bustan, 1961, pp. 33-8.]There is a copy of the Qur"an in the Egyptian National Library on parchment made from gazelle skin, which has been dated 68 Hijra (688 A.D.), i.e. 58 years after the Prophet"s death.

Bilal and his support for Velayat

Bilal was always supporting Ali (A.S) and Fatimah (A.S) and their aspirations lavishly. When the Imam (A.S) was among the Muslims, he would respect him greatly, in a way that some would object by telling him:

LADY SAKINA, ENGROSSED BY DIVINE PERPETUAL BEAUTY

Imam Husain (a.s.): “Regarding Sakina, she is engrossed by the perpetual beauty of God and hence she is not ready to marry anyone.”
