Fatwa No: 91650

Question

When and where was the Quran printed for the first time with printers?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

 

The first book that was printed in Arabic was the Quran; this was in Venice, Italy in 1530. This is what Yahyaa Al-Jaboori said in his book ‘The Methodology of Research’. 

Allaah Knows best.
