Abstract

 Imam Ali's Quran is among the earliest works encompassing the verses of revelation and the shared cultural heritage of Muslims, which has sparked debates among scholars of both factions regarding its existence and certain characteristics over time, influenced by religious biases, doubts, and rare opinions. The necessity of convergence among intellectuals of Islamic sects, relying on commonalities, is essential for Muslim scientific communities today, and one way to achieve this convergence is by focusing on the famous opinions of both factions and adherence to the shared cultural heritage, including Imam Ali's Quran. It is hoped that this research, through a descriptive-analytical study of Imam Ali's Quran in primary sources and the opinions of elite scholars of both factions, will present a comprehensive view of both factions' perspectives on this Quran, especially its existence. The research findings indicate that the existence of Imam Ali's Quran in earlier centuries, especially in the early centuries, containing the entire existing Quran along with additions as interpretations, is agreed upon by both factions. Doubts such as denying the existence of the Quran or accusing it of being in conflict with the Quran's distortion are rejected by the famous scholars of both factions.
