Is the original Quran still around?

Question

If yes, where is it?

If no, where is it?

Just curious.

I guess I mean the first ever written copy.

I'm not trying to fool myself or say the Quran is changed, that was never my intention, I'm just asking a question.

Answer 1

The Prophet (saw) used to recite the Qur'an before angel Jibreel (Gabriel) once every Ramadan, but he recited it twice (in the same order we have today) in the last Ramadan before his death. Each verse received was recited by the Prophet, and its location relative to other verses and surahs was identified by him.
The verses were written by scribes, selected by the Prophet, on any suitable object - the leaves of trees, pieces of wood, parchment or leather, flat stones, and shoulder blades. Scribes included Ali Ibn Abi Talib, Mu'awiyah Ibn Abi Sufyan, Ubey Ibn Ka'ab, Zayed Ibn Thabit.
Some of the companions wrote the Qur'an for their own use.
Several hundred companions memorized the Qur'an by heart.
During the caliphate of Abu Bakr (632-634 CE)
Umar Ibn Al-Khattab urged Abu Bakr to preserve and compile the Qur'an. This was prompted after the battle of Yamamah, where heavy casualties were suffered among the reciters who memorized the Qur'an.
Abu Bakr entrusted Zayed Ibn Thabit with the task of collecting the Qur'an. Zayed had been present during the last recitation of the Qur'an by the Prophet to Angel Jibreel (Gabriel).
Zayed, with the help of the companions who memorized and wrote verses of the Qur'an, accomplished the task and handed Abu Bakr the first authenticated copy of the Qur'an. The copy was kept in the residence of Hafsah, daughter of Umar and wife of the Prophet.
During the caliphate of Uthman (644-656 CE)
Uthman ordered Zayed Ibn Thabit, Abdullah Ibn Al Zubayr, Saeed Ibn Al-Aas, and Abdur-Rahman Ibn Harith Ibn Hisham to make perfect copies of the authenticated copy kept with Hafsa(r.a). This was due to the rapid expansion of the Islamic state and concern about differences in recitation.
Copies were sent to various places in the Muslim world. The original copy was returned to Hafsa(r.a), and a copy was kept in Madinah.

Answer 2

If it were, the following might never have happened.

Israeli-Arab Sheikh Raad Salah, who heads the radical Islamic Movement, has issued a call for an "Intifada" of Israel's Arabs. The leaders of Jordan, Syria and Iran, as well as Islamic chiefs in Egypt, has all condemned the work. "The world of Islam should show a serious reaction to the Zionist regime's insult to Al-Aksa Mosque," Iranian Islamic ruler Ayatollah Ali Khameini said on Wednesday and has called on Muslim nations to attack Israel in response.

An Israeli Foreign Ministry statement dismissed the criticism as an exploitation of the situation. "The Temple Mount is the holiest site of the Jewish people," Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said in a statement Wednesday. "The State of Israel will never do anything to harm the freedom of worship of members of all religions – in Jerusalem or anywhere in Israel. There are irresponsible elements, who know full well that no harm is being caused here to any holy site, who are exploiting Israeli democracy to fan religious feelings for political gain ."

The world must awaken to the danger that the radical Islamist movements pose, both to Israel and to the entire Western World.

Answer 3

Two copies of the original Qur'an from the time of Uthman (pbuh) still exist today, one is in Istanbul and the other in Tashkant. Whosoever is interested, may compare the text of the Qur'an today from any part of the world with these two original copies, he will not find any discrepancy. For a more detailed information please refer to the book called Ulum Al-Qur'an, by Ahmed Von Denffer.

Answer 4

we only have one Quran and this is the original one with its original language. Aramiac language is dead, but not Arabic. the one in estanbul maybe have some letters with different prounciation or accent, but not words. As Angel Gibriel has taught prophet Muhammad the Quran with 8 tounges.

Answer 5

The original Quran was recited by Mohammed (SAW) and wasn't put into writing until much later. So technically, there can't be an "original" Quran.
