By proving this hypothesis, this historical exploration could present the history of Islam with a serious challenge. 

  Earlier, British researchers announced the discovery of pages from a very old copy of the Quran, possibly dating back to the early 7th century AD and the beginning of Islam, at the University of Birmingham in England. This is despite the belief of many historical experts that the Quran dates back to the era before Muhammad.

Scientific tests estimate the age of this Quran to be between 568 AD and 645 AD, while historical narrations estimate the lifetime of Muhammad to be between 570 AD and 632 AD, which means that this Quran was written before the life of "Muhammad".

Historian Tom Holland told the Sunday Times that the discovery will change many historical views of Islam. Holland went on to say that the historical belief that all aspects of the life of Muhammad and his early followers are clear is a false belief.

Despite this historical discovery, some Muslim academics dismiss these claims as mere hypotheses. However, it seems that, by proving this hypothesis, important parts of the Quran were the political views of Muhammad's early followers.

According to Dr. Keith Small, a researcher in the history of Islam and the Quran, this historical exploration could pose a serious challenge to the history of Islam.

-In the same context: Is the Quran a transhistorical text or a timeless and critical one?

It is worth noting that British researchers announced the discovery of pages from a very old copy of the Quran, possibly dating back to the early 7th century AD and the beginning of Islam, at the University of Birmingham, England. Reports indicate that these are pages from an old Quran written in Arabic script (Hejazi script), possibly on goat or sheep skin.
According to these reports, these pages from the Quran have been kept on the shelves of the University of Birmingham library for a century.

According to news agency reports, these papers are part of the "Mingana Collection," which includes more than three thousand documents and manuscripts from the Middle East that were collected by Alphonso Mingana, a Chaldean priest born in Iraq, in the 1920s and transferred to Britain, where they were eventually placed at the disposal of the University of Birmingham.
