Uthmani: Mushaf
(from the Madinah Mushaf to the Indo-Pak script) is a version of the Mushaf Uthmani —the same consonantal skeleton (Rasm) that Uthman standardized. The only differences are in calligraphy, vowel markings, and reading rules. 6. Common Misconception Many think Uthman "wrote" the Quran. He did not. He standardized its script . The Quran was already memorized by thousands and written down during the Prophet's life. Uthman unified how it was written, not what it said.
