Al-Mushaf al-'Uthmani (literally: the Ottoman Manuscript) is a manuscript of the Qur'an, which was compiled at the command of 'Uthman b. 'Affan. It was called al-Mushaf al-'Uthmani, or sometimes Mushaf al-Imam.

'Affan]]. It was called al-Mushaf al-'Uthmani, or sometimes Mushaf al-Imam. The reason for the compilation of the mushaf was the existence of a variety of Quranic manuscripts among [[Muslim]]s and disputes over them. After the compilation of al-Mushaf al-'Uthmani, other mushafs or manuscripts were destroyed at the command of 'Uthman. On the majority view, compilers of al-Mushaf al-'Uthmani were four people: [[Zayd b. Thabit]], [['Abd Allah b. Zubayr]], [[Sa'id b. 'As]], and [['Abd al-Rahman b. Harith]]. | ||
[[Imams of the Shia]] and their Sahaba did not oppose the unification of Quranic manuscripts by 'Uthman, although they criticized the way the mushaf was compiled as well as some of its words. According to scholars of [[Quranic sciences]], al-Mushaf al-'Uthmani involves some spelling errors, although this does not amount to the [[distortion of the Qur'an]], because Quranic words are preserved. | |||
There have allegedly been four manuscripts of al-Mushaf al-'Uthmani. Each mushaf was sent to an important city in the Islamic world as a standard for the recitation of the Qur'an. None of these original 'Uthmani Mushafs is available today. However, many manuscripts were produced as their copies, and printed volumes of the Qur'an today are based on these manuscripts. | There have allegedly been four manuscripts of al-Mushaf al-'Uthmani.
