The Cairo edition (Arabic: المصحف الأميري, "the Amiri Mus'haf"), or the King Fu'ād Quran (مصحف الملك فؤاد) or the Azhar Quran, is an edition of the Quran printed by the Amiri Press in the Bulaq district of Cairo on July 10, 1924.[1][2][3] It is the first printed Quran to be accepted by a Muslim authority, this authority being Al-Azhar.[3]
The process of creating the Fu'ad Quran lasted 17 years, from 1907 to 1924, achieved with the support by Fuad I of Egypt and the supervision of Azhari scholars.[3] It was regarded as an "official" Quran and was replicated by a number of following editions.[3]
