Total 104 scriptures came in the world & the Holy Quran is the best & last revelation. The Holy Quran was, is & will be preserved & protected in "Laoh'im Mah'fooj". It revealed upon our beloved prophet Muhammad (S.A.) It took 23 years to reveal. Muhammad (S.A.) used to memorized himself & instructed to write. Some of his companions (R.A.) also used to memorize after listening from Prophet (S.A.) During 1st caliph of Islam Abu Bakr Siddique (R.A.), in the fight of Yamama many hafiz of Quran got shahadah. So Abu Bakr Siddique (R.A.) with the suggestion of other famous sahaba keram (R.A.) decided to compile as a book. And Zaied ibn Sabet (R.A.) was selected as a committee leader & with the help of other hafiz sahaba (R.A.), Zaied ibn Sabet (R.A.) after compilation handed over to Abu Bakr Siddique (R.A.) Abu Bakr Siddique (R.A.) handed over to 2nd caliph Omar Farooq (R.A.) Omar Farooq (R.A.) handed over to his dearest daughter Hafsa (R.A.) before his shahada. During 3rd caliph Usman (R.A.) Islam was spreading many areas of Arab, then some people started to recite Quran according to their local pronunciation which may lead to change the actual meaning of Quranic word. As a result Usman (R.A.), according to suggestion of Huzaifa (R.A.), Usman (R.A.) has given the responsibility of compilation of Quran to Zaied ibn Sabet (R.A.) again. Based on instruction from Usman (R.A.), Zaied ibn Sabet (R.A.) compiled 6 copies of Quran. One of that copies still available in the museum of Tashkent, Uzbekistan. One photocopy is preserved in the library of Islamic Foundation, Bangladesh. Another one copy is preserved in British museum.

Please correct me if anything is wrong.

May ALLAH help everybody in all good respect.

2. Glory Hole - Monticello Dam, CaliforniaA glory hole is used when a dam is at full capacity and water needs to be drained from the reservoir This is the 'Glory Hole' at Monticello dam, and it's the largest in the world of this type of spillway, its size enabling it to consume 14,400 cubic feet of water every second.

3. Bingham Canyon Mine - Utah This is supposedly the largest man-made excavation on earth. Extraction began in 1863 and still continues today, the pit increasing in size constantly. In its current state the hole is ¾ miles deep and 2.5 miles wide.

4. Great Blue Hole - Belize This incredible geographical phenomenon known as a blue hole is situated 60 miles off the mainland of Belize ..There are numerous blue holes around the world, but none as stunning as this one.

5. Mirny Diamond Mine - Serbia I'm pretty sure most people have seen this one. It's an absolute beast and holds the title of largestopen diamond mines in the world. At 525 meters deep, with a top diameter of 1200 meters, there'seven a no-fly zone above the hole due to a few helicopters having been sucked in.

6. Diavik Mine - Canada The mine is so huge and the area so remote that it has its own airport with a runway large enough to Acommodate a Boeing 737. It looks equally cool when the surrounding water is frozen.
