The Quraysh Quran

The Abbasid's Qurayshi dialect Islamic Quran slowly came into existence as a result of much redaction over a period of about 200 years. Despite the delay it was attributed to an Emir of Tashik who is supposed to have destroyed the original Noahide text.

(It should be noted that the Ismailis maintain a different mushaf which was written by an earlier Emir called Hanzala and his King Abu Turab called Hani ibn Qabisa under the guidance of Solomon the Pharisee.)

Before the invention of the Quraysh Quran, the word Quran was cognate with the Syro-Aramaic word Qaraeana meaning Lectionary referring to the Miqra being the Judaic collection of readings from the Hebrew Scriptures.

But the Quraysh collection is actually a series of recitations in the voice of Michael which had been carried by Dihyah al-Kalbi as letters to Hanzala called Mahmet son of Ishmael and Hani in reply to their queries. The collection of responsa was originally called the Ahsana AlHadith. But they got re-arranged by the Quraysh into their new "Islamic Quran".
