KH.
Now tell me KH. When was the Quran actually written as a complete book. HOw many years after Muhammad's death (not ascension to heaven) was the Quran assembled? How many different dialects were in existance up until Uthman's time? How many copies were burned?
Think KH. Do not just through rocks when you live in a glass house yourself.

Salaam,
It's all right A_brother, we are not suppose to say bad word to people who don't know the truth
and please Muteea see the video that our brother has given you...
here is my answer to your question:
How was the Qur'an written?
1. Allah sent His angel, Jibril (who has no passion except to obey Allah’s will) to meet with the Prophet (whose integrity was not questioned, illiterate, and honest man) to reveal the verses. The prophet was at his 40th age when he first met Jibril.
2.The prophet, after received any verse, memorized it, then declared it to his apostles / sahabah (Arabic) who were also memorized it.
3.Since the prophet was illiterate, he asked his sahabah to write the verses down, and read it to him. In any time, he found mistake in the writing, he pointed out, rechecked, and asked them to rewrite. The prophet was also personally rechecked and authenticates any portions of the Quran memorized by his sahabah, regularly.
4.Angel jibril came to see the prophet once each year for 22 years (in month of Ramadhan / fasting month), and twice in the last year to make sure the Prophet has memorized the Qur’an correctly.
5.The orders and sequences of any chapter or verses was given by Allah, the Prophet then told his sahabah where to put any new revelation (in which chapter or after what verse). This order was also rechecked by angel Jibril each year and twice in the last year.
6.
The complete Qur’an along with the correct sequences of the verses, therefore, was present in the time of the Prophet. The verses, however, were written in different media (separate pieces, scrapes of leather, thin flat stones, leaflets, palm branches, shoulder blades, etc)
7.After the Prophet died in 632, the first Caliph, Abu Bakr ra, ordered to transfer all the separated verses into one material, which was sheet of papers. These was tied up with strong string to avoid it from separated each other
8.However, in the third caliph, Uthman bin Affan, around year 650, Islam was spread out through enormously larger regions. Those regions started to develop their own way of writing and reading the Qur’an. Another issue was, some of sahabah who memorized the Qur’an were died. Worrying about the disagreement among Muslim in the future regarding the Qur’an, Uthman ordered to publish one standard Qur’an
9.Uthman borrowed the original manuscript of the Qur’an that has been authorized by the Prophet from Hafsha (the Prophet wife, May Allah blessed her). Uthman asked 4 sahabah who wrote the Qur’an when the prophet dictated it, led by Zaid bin Thabit, to rewrite the manuscript into several perfect copies. Those copies sent to several main Muslim area
10.There were other personal collections of the portions of the Qur’an that people had with them. These might have been incomplete and with mistakes. Uthman only appealed to the people to destroy all these copies which did not match the original manuscript of the Qur’an in order to preserve the original text of the Qur’an. Two such copies of the copied text of the original Qur’an authenticated by the Prophet are present to this day, one at the museum in Tashkent in erstwhile Soviet Union and the other at the Topkapi Museum in Istanbul, Turkey
11. Allah Himself has promised to guard the Qur’an:
We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly Guard it (from corruption)." [Al-Qur’an 15:9]
12.Until this very day, thousands of Muslim Scholars around the world memorize Qur’an (Subhanallah), Allah guard the Qur’an in His own way
Now, Im sure you still have a lot of questions, never hesitate to post
The most ancient published bible, however, indeed was the RSV Bible which was published 300 years after Isa as was ascended to heaven. If you claimed otherwise, I believe it is because the fact that there are internal disputes among Christians regarding the writing of the Bible, every sources telling different story
May Allah guide you,
