Re: Where is the original Quran?
^ almost exactly what I was going to say!
And add that the original original writings were sometimes recorded on leather, parchment, bone, paper etc etc, ie whatever was available at the time of revelation.
It was then memorised by the companions and pieces were even passed around,
(read the story of umar (ra)'s conversion and the verses of taha)
The prophet pbuh was also a hafiz and would read it in prayer,
