Then, Deroush touched upon describing the first Arabic writing and collecting the Qur’an and mentioned that there were shortcomings in Arabic calligraphy in the beginning even though that was a natural development of the Arabic script. Then Deroush claims the lack of idealism in the collection of the Qur’an during the reign of Othman bin Affan. He also addressed the addition of al-Hajjaj bin Yusuf al-Thaqafi to letters in the Noble Qur’an, and Derush also attributed the gilding of the Qur’an to other civilizations, and he also deals with the breaks of verses and suras.The researcher has responded to all those opinions that Derouche mentioned in his book, in this first part of the research which ended with the verses and surah breaks. The researcher has strengthened his responses with appropriate paintings on the topic, and they are all related to Islamic inscriptions and Arabic calligraphy
