Abstract
This enlightening documentary explores the origins of the Koran, which according to Muslim tradition has remained static and unchanged since its revelation to the prophet Mohammed between 610 and 632 CE in Mecca and Medina. However, recent discoveries of Koranic manuscripts analyzed by scientists, dating from around 680 - the oldest in the world - indicate that the Koran would appear to have a more complicated history. European scientists and Islamic scholars are now trying to trace the history of the Koran. From the mosque of Kairouan in Tunisia to that of the Umayyads in Damascus and Al- Azhar in Cairo , this film invites us on a fascinating journey into the heart of the origins of the book and Late Antiquity. THE KORAN: THE ORIGINS OF THE BOOK explores where Muslim tradition and scientific research converge.
