Abstract
Epigraphic monuments in Arabic are important sources on the history of Islam in Dagestan, which makes the work of identifying, studying and translating inscriptions relevant. The study of the place and role of Qur’anic texts in the structure of the epigraphic monuments of Dagestan is based on the new finds of Arabic inscriptions in Akhty, one of the richest epigraphic districts of Da-gestan. The epigraphy of this highland district was studied by the author over the period of many years of field research aimed at a complete study of the inscriptions of this district. Their analysis showed that passages from the Qur’an were usually included in Arabic inscriptions of various gen-res, including epitaphs, construction and owner inscriptions and other texts. Verses or their chunks from almost thirty different surahs of the Qur’an have been identified.
