The Quran predating the Quran found


Quran

I was just reading an article I will link here for future reference about a copy of the Quran found that predates Islam as the story is told today.  This has become known as the Birmingham Quran.
From the Article:

If the dating is correct, the “Birmingham Koran” was produced between AD568 and AD645, while the dates usually given for Muhammad are AD570 to AD632. At the very latest, it was made before the first formal text of the Koran is supposed to have been collated at the behest of the caliph Uthman, the third of the Prophet’s successors, in 653. At the earliest it could date back to Mohammed’s childhood, or possibly even before his birth.
The Australian Newspaper article linked read here:

Dreams of books inspired by Need and Urgency!

I dreamed about my BOOKS!  This happened because a lot of my books have been very damaged from being stored in the shed.   I have had 75 boxes of books stored for five years due to space confines.  Medical Books, Herbals, Reference books of all descriptions and a million dictionary's

On inspection so many were cockroach stained.   We have wiped down several cartons of books (taken days).

I broke down and cried because the cockroach excrement was on the sides of all the pages.   I was pretty broken in my spirit and I felt so awful and I felt that way because all of my life my books have never been left to fend for themselves in the elements. 

I went to sleep and before I slept I asked for an answer ----> I woke up with the answer.

**** "SANDPAPER" ***

Books are made of trees and trees are wood and you sand wood to revive or smooth the finish of this and so I sandpapered the edges around the three sides of the book holding it closed tight and firm and Voila!

It was like a magic fix, it was just like when they were brand new!  I just smiled widely and went WOW!  I dreamed this idea and so I looked out and simply said thank you!  I was so grateful for this inspiration.  I relaxed and thought well we can fix the problem, all is not lost after all.

A lot of the magazines were in the same state.
