Before Uthman canonized the Qur'an there were different versions or codices, none of which exist today.

Kaʿb’s codices.

Famous quotes containing the words varying and/or start:
“With varying vanities, from ev’ry part,
They shift the moving toyshop of their heart;”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“It’s sad but true that if you focus your attention on housework and meal preparation and diapers, raising children does start to look like drudgery pretty quickly. On the other hand, if you see yourself as nothing less than your child’s nurturer, role model, teacher, spiritual guide, and mentor, your days take on a very different cast.”
