    If we consider the arrangement of the Quran.. the mathematical composition behind it and so on... there is no doubt that the Quran was already compiled in the time of the Messenger himself under his own supervision who, himself was under the direct supervision of Allah... So I guess we should not care about these compilation stories... considering the so many incoherent report on this matter we have from hadiths.. Like missing surahs, missing verses, the size of Quran shrinked, Abu Bakr omitted some verses purposely etc etc... It will be a headache which goes for nothing as we got no point of reference to verify these stories... the main moral of the story is... the Quran reached us... Allah made it reach us... Allah is its Guardian... So, we should not be worrying about the Quran .... Let his Guardian take care of it.

      255 They said, "Mythologies of the ancient people; he wrote them down while they were being dictated to him morning and evening."

      961 Read in the name of your Lord who has created.

      963 Read, and your Lord is the Generous One.

      964 The One who taught by the pen

      Anymore doubt?

      I am no longer a Sunna-rejecter. See 4:59-65, 62:2-4, 3:31, 4:156, 7:157 Messenger teaches and is to be followed and obeyed. Examples of revelation received which is not in the Qur'an: 3:123-126, 33:37, 2:187, 66:3, 62:9.

        The individual would still be able to get away with saying "oh they just wrote it on separate parts, but no collections into one whole". One would need either a contradicting hadith, or the isnad of the said hadith to be weak or explained. Or the quran saying that the quran was completed...

          There have been a few articles written, that I have seen. Apparently this book discusses this topic, but I haven't read it
          http//www.amazon.com/Qurans-Self-Image-Writing-Authority-Scripture/dp/0691059500

          All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

            God revealed only one book to the prophet muhammad and that was the Quran, the last revelation, enough with the hadith and sunna.

            Peace

              Where is that original Quranic script which was written in the Time of Muhammad PBUH ?
              Waiting for evidence.

                  Are they waiting until GOD Himself comes to them in dense clouds, together with the angels? When this happens, the whole matter will be terminated, and to GOD everything will be returned.

                  Do you need God to give you the book in your hand so you can become righteous?

                    Question is not that of "oldest" or newest". I am asking about that script which was supposedly got written by Prophet Muhammad PBUH. That should be the original and most reliable.
                    Where is that ? Is this lost?

                        Mushaf-e-uthmani was written during era of Hazrat Uthman RA. I am talking about that Script which was written during the life of Prophet MUhammad PBUH which is being claimed.
                        Where is that Original script ? Because then all problems are solved like 19er about verse of Sura Tauba.
                        Regards

                          As you can see in these links none are from Uthman ra time.
                          It is just a name they were given to.

                              I'd counter with

                              7517 It is for Us to collect it (jamahu) and relate/compile it (quranahu).

                              7518 So when We relate/compile it, you shall follow its reading.

                              7519 Then it is for Us to explain it.

                              618 They wish to put out God's light with their mouths, but God will continue with His light, even if the concealers of the truth/rejecters/ingrates (kafiroon) hate it.

                              BTW, as seen from the above verses, God collected and compiled/related the Quran/reading.

                              I am no longer a Sunna-rejecter. See 4:59-65, 62:2-4, 3:31, 4:156, 7:157 Messenger teaches and is to be followed and obeyed. Examples of revelation received which is not in the Qur'an: 3:123-126, 33:37, 2:187, 66:3, 62:9.

                                How is it that mushaf is the same as written in the era of Prophet Muhammad PBUH.
                                Secondly that contains those two verses which you (your messenger RK) has removed.So do you believe in them ?

                                  I have a burning question. If there existed a Quran in the time of the prophet e.g. written in the supervision or by the prophet, how come it is lost? How irresponsible of the people of the day to have misplaced or lost the most important book of all time. Surely people would have lost their lives and taken precausions to make sure of its safety and preservation. This really puzzles me. However, there is no denying that over the years the Quran has managed to find its way back, otherwise we would have found many contradictions, right? Probably why the Quran was memorised and also writen down to help its preservation. I dont think however, that anyone in this forum has the answer and that unless we get unbiased access into the middle east to carry out archaeological finds we wont understand our past.

                                  Peace

                                    An archeological eveidence is not enough for you.
                                    The links explains that the Uthman Quran is date end of 1 century, begining od 2nd century (Hijri).
                                    So either Uthman lived long long time, either there were NOT from Uthman time.

                                      Definitely agree on this... The 'Manuscripts of Sana' found in yemen are the oldest known quranic parchment ever discovered I think....

                                        Quran never tells us to

                                        1. go find the 'mushaf' of mohamed

                                        2. go find some codex in a museum

                                        Rather, it is preserved in rememberance/eminence, dhikr. That's why it tells us to ask ahl adh adhikr.

                                        We dont need to be Indiana bleedin' Jones to have the 'original quran'. Rather we need to ask these archeologists and historians

                                        1. why do they trust conflicting accounts of quran's compilation? (mostly in hadith literature)

                                        2. why is it, when quran calls itself 'kitab', they dont take it to mean its compiled as a book?

                                        think about it Would the messenger (even if he was a false messenger, he'd want to selfishly preserve his falsehood) and this band of fanatics treat the book as if its something they can afford to lose?

                                        and strangely, Muslims today swallow this tripe about quran's compilation

                                          I'd counter with

                                          7517 It is for Us to collect it (jamahu) and relate/compile it (quranahu).

                                          7518 So when We relate/compile it, you shall follow its reading.

                                          7519 Then it is for Us to explain it.

                                          618 They wish to put out God's light with their mouths, but God will continue with His light, even if the concealers of the truth/rejecters/ingrates (kafiroon) hate it.

                                          BTW, as seen from the above verses, God collected and compiled/related the Quran/reading.

                                          Aye alhamdulillah.
