assalamulaikum wr wb!
following is the pic of one of the copies of the Qur'an which were amongst the several official copies, that were made and distributed by the 3rd caliph Hazrat Usman Ibn Affar(ra)..
These copies were distributed as people didn't had any official Qur'an at that time and therefore many had written the Qur'an by their own, which hazrat Usman feared would be having some differences..from the original Qur'an which was revealed to the Prophet (s) through jibraeel (as) by Allah (swt)...and therefore hazrat Usman (as) to preserve the authenticity of the Qur'an, distributed these, the first 7 official copies of the Qur'an, to the main 7 Islamic ruling state, of that time, amongst them were, Medina, Syria, Yemen, Bahrain, Basra,Kufa... and then the hand made Qur'an were taken from the people by the govt and were eliminated.
these copies were made from the only official copy of the original Qur'an that was compiled by hazrat Abu bakr (ra) the first caliph and was later given in the care of one of the wife of the Prophet(s) , hazrat Hafsa (ra)...well later hazrat Usman (ra) made 7 copies from this original Quran & distributed them..
these copied were hand written!..
