Holy Qur'an (Italian)
Koran is the sacred text of the Islam religion.
For Muslims the Koran, as we read today, represents the message revealed fourteen centuries ago by God (in Arabic allāh) to Muhammad (in Arabic Muḥammad) through an angelic interior, and intended for every man on earth. He was dictated by Muhammad to various witnesses who learned some verses or all his corpus by heart, and various compilers - called Kātib (Pl. Kuttāb) - among which there were Mu batāwiya b. Abī Sufyān, Abd Allah b. Sa'd Ibn Abi Sarh and Zayd b. Thābit. From the Kuttāb it was therefore written on various supports (presumably pieces of wood, bone, parchment, seric fabrics) which were then collected and definitively rearranged on the order of the Caliph ʿthmān b. ʿFfān.
He made the top four manuscript complete copies (which he sent in the four main cities of Umma) and made the discordant versions burn. In this regard, it was assumed that the manuscripts found in ṣan^ in 1972, older than those of unclehmān could constitute an unpublished version of the Koran, different from the known one; However, the analysis of the texts showed that they did not contain substantial variations and that they were lucky manuscripts, probably used by Muslims not reached by the text of Uthman. Within 20 years since the prophet's death, however, the Koran appeared in its written form and excluding the additions of about 1,000 alifs (first letters of the Arab alphabet) made by Al-Hjjaj Ibn Yusuf in 700, and would remain almost unchanged.
