The Samarkand Kufic Quran (also known as the Mushaf Uthmani, Samarkand codex, Tashkent Quran and Uthman Qur'an) is a manuscript Quran, or mushaf, and is one of the 6 manuscripts which were penned under the caliphate of Uthman ibn Affan. They represented an effort to compile the Qur'an into a standardized version. It is not exactly known to which area the Samarkand codex was originally dispatched or whether it was Uthman's personal manuscript.
The Samarkand mushaf was moved around throughout centuries and as a result it has one of the richest histories and also saddest fates because of its alterations. It is one of the first texts written in the Kufic script. Today it is kept in the Hast Imam library, in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
