The Oldest Pieces Of Quran were discovered in the Great Mosque of Sanaa’s cellars. According to the Daily Bugün, Tayyar Altkulaç, a former Turkish Religious Affairs Director, has inspected the oldest Quran pieces discovered in Sanaa’s Great Mosque cellars in Yemen.
When the cellar door was opened, the workers discovered the Quran pieces. Why are they called pieces? Because in the early periods of Islam, there were not too many Qurans and people used to read them by cutting them into fragments. Over time, they were worn out and transmitted from one person to another.
The number of Qurans increased after writing was invented, and these fragments were compiled and stored in a place. Snakes emerged from the cellar when the door was opened. Water entered through a window in the cellar. To emphasize the discovery’s significance, Altkulaç stated that this is why some of these fragments decomposed and got dirty.
