A Study on The Development of Arabic Writing From Inscriptions on The Tables to The Papers

Abstract

The Arabs knew Arabic writing in their ignorance, and the Arabic writing that is now used dates back to an earlier era of Islam in its inception, and the remaining texts written from this era are very few, they have recorded their covenants, covenants and sermons. And they used to make the writing a dig and inscription in the stones and created a compound in the building. Opinions differed in the place where the Arabic calligraphy originated, some of whom say that it originated in the Sinai phase, some of whom said in Damascus at the time of the Ghassana, and some of them said that Arabic calligraphy is close to the late Nabataean writing.

When islam appeared, writing gave a new scientific direction that was not known before, and writing served Islam as a service that was not matched by anything else, and for him it was better than the sword in many cases, and the manuscript is the handwritten book, which is written in the hand book, whether the paper is made of papyrus, parchment, cagadic, shoulders, scrolls or booklets.

The Arabs knew the tools of writing in their ignorance, the same ones that were used in the Prophet's reign and his companions in writing the Holy Qur'an.

      The Qur'an was written on the ribs, ribs, ass, and loaves. After the completion of its codification and the development of the phenomenon of blogging after the middle of the first century began writing biographies and  battles , and the Prophet's hadith enjoyed the specificity of blogging.

As for the composition, it is considered the first source of Arabic manuscripts, it witnessed the end of the first century an increase in translations and a large number of books amounted to a camel load for Ebn- Abbas (dead 68 AH)

The second tributary from which the Arabic manuscripts flowed is the dictation councils, which spread in Baghdad, the seat of the caliphate and the center of the scientific movement during the 3rd and 4th centuries.
