[edit] Shouldn't it be a copy

The Uthman Qur'an (also referred to as "Osman's Koran") is a manuscripted copy of the Qur'an considered to be the oldest in the world and said to still have a stain of blood from the assassination of the third Caliph, Uthman ibn Affan.

It is currently held in the library of the Telyashayakh Mosque, in the old "Hast-Imam" area of Tashkent, Uzbekistan, close to the grave of Kaffel-Shashi, the 10th Century Islamic scholar.

CMIIW, AFAIK, the Quran in Tashkent was a copy, not the original. And it was also disputed by the fact some of the page was changed (probably in attempt of renovating). Kunderemp (talk) 07:15, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
