The 'Uthman Quran (Othmanic Recension)

The Othmanic Recension is the standardised version of the Qur'an, believed by the vast majority of scholars & historians to be identical with the collected set of revelations that the Prophet Muhammad claimed to have received from God (Allah, i.e. "The Supreme Being"), through the Angel Gabriel (Jibril), from about the age of 40 to his death (i.e. during the period 610-632 CE).

As such, the Othmanic Recension has been, & continues to be, an abiding, primary source of inspiration, morality & guidance for billions of Muslims worldwide for almost 1,400 years (& seems set to remain so for the foreseeable future).
