There were numerous versions of the Quran and infact the original Quran of prophet Muhhamad was eaten by goats and the remaining parts burnt never to return ever again.
The standardised Quran was written by Uttman and didnt even have Arabic dots for the vowels. So once again the Quran was changed once more with the one that now has dots.

Uthman's Quran Version Alteration
After the original Quranic manuscripts were damaged or destroyed, Caliph Uthman ibn Affan initiated a standardized compilation of the Quran. This effort aimed to unify the various readings and scripts used by different companions and regions.The Samarkand Kufic Quran
One of the surviving manuscripts from this period is the Samarkand Kufic Quran, also known as the Mushaf Uthmani. It is a handwritten copy of the Quran in the Kufic script, likely dating back to the 8th or 9th century. The manuscript has undergone alterations and modifications throughout its history, but it remains an important artifact in understanding the Uthmanic compilation.Key Features of the Uthman Version
- Standardization: Uthman’s compilation aimed to standardize the Quranic text, eliminating regional variations and differences in script.
- Single Script: The Uthmanic Quran was written in a single script, the Kufic script, which was widely used during that period.
- Limited Readings: The Uthmanic Quran focused on a single reading (Ahruf) of the Quran, rather than accommodating multiple readings.
- No Dots: Unlike later manuscripts, the Uthmanic Quran does not contain dots (tashkil) to indicate vowel sounds.
