Surat Al-Fatihah
In the name of Allah, the Beneficient, the Merciful,
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, The Beneficient, the Merciful:
Owner of the Day of Judgement, Thee (alone) we worship; Thee alone we ask
for help. Show us the straight path, The path of those whom Thou hast
favored; Not (the path) of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go
astray

Early Hijazi Quranic
Folio
This
manuscript is from Western Arabia AH 1-2 centuries / CE 7th - 8th
Centuries. 49.4cm*39cm. This manuscript is a fine example of a quran
written on parchment, as to how the earliest Qur'an had been copied. It is
in Hijazi Script (earliest progression of Arabic Writing of the Quran).
This folio is from surah al-ma'idah starting with second verse of verse 18
and ending with 6th word of verse 29. As you can see, early kufic scripts
are not clear to read. The end of every verse is marked with two small
oblique colon-like punctuation followed by five small ones.
