    COMPILATION OF
    QURAN
    HOW IT ALL STARTED?
    The journey of the Quran,
    which began to be revealed
    to Prophet Muhammad
    during the month of
    Ramadan in 610, in its
    original form to the present day is a
    characteristic that none of the previous sacred
    books have. The companions of Prophet
    Muhammad, who were great people, played an
    important role in the compilation of the Quran,
    leaving an interesting story behind. During the
    prophet’s time, the verses were memorized as
    they were revealed. But,
    during the time of Caliph
    Abu Bakr, when 70 people
    who knew the Quran by
    heart (qari), were killed in
    the Battle of Yamama, Umar ibn al-Khattab
    became concerned and appealed to Abu Bakr in
    order to compile the Quran into a book.

    THE DELEGATION
    Abu Bakr formed a delegation under the
    leadership of Zaid ibn Thabit, one of the
    leading scribes.
    This delegation of 12 people, including famous
    figures such as Uthman ibn Affan, Ali ibn Abi
    Talib, Talha ibn Ubaydullah, Abdullah ibn
    Masood, Ubayy ibn Kab, Khalid ibn al-Walid,
    Hudhaifah and Saleem, came together in
    Umar's house and collected all the materials on
    which verses from the Quran were written.
    In addition, the verses memorized by the
    companions were heard as well. Each of them
    was asked to show two witnesses for the verse
    they read.

    THE FIRST COPY:


    MUSHAF
    All the verses were collected
    and kept into the right place.
    There are 6,236 verses, 114
    surahs and about 323,000
    letters in the Quran.
    Saeed ibn al-Aas, who was renowned for the
    beauty of his handwriting, wrote them down
    on gazelle skin. The writing used was the
    Arabic script of the time, which was already
    old and used commonly at that time in Hejaz.
    The copy of the Quran was recited to the
    companions at a general meeting. There was
    no objection. So, a book called "mushaf"
    emerged, which means written verses. A total
    of 33,000 companions agreed that every letter
    of the Quran was in the right place. Then this
    mushaf was sent to Umar ibn al-Khattab. After
    his death, this book passed on to Hazrat
    Hafsah, the daughter of Umar and a wife of
    Prophet Muhammad.
    COMPILATION UNDER
    CALIPHATE OF USMAN
    During the caliphate of Hazrat Usman, the
    Islamic empire extended a lot. Many people
    who weren’t Arabs accepted Islam. But then a
    problem arised on reciting the Quran properly.
    The people made a lot of mistakes and
    changed the words of Quran for their ease. By
    looking this Hazrat Usman was worried and
    again recompilation of correct Quran was
    done. Then, many copies of it was made and
    they were sent to many different areas. Also,
    the wrong copies were removed and this made
    a standardized copy of Quran between the
    muslims. Further more, Hazrat Usman
    established many schools for correcting the
    pronounciation of quran.

    BENIFITS
    By this movement to compile the
    Quran, have the Quran in the
    same form it was revealed to the
    Prophet. This promotes unity in
    muslims too. By having Quran in
    its original form, we can get
    guidance in our lives properly.
    JAMI UL QURAN
    Hazrat Usman (R.A) is known as
    Jami-ul-Quran ( compiler of
    Quran). He (RA) is known as
    Jami-ul-Quran because he
    standardized the reading of a
    single version of book of Quran.
    Though the holy Qur’an had already been
    compiled, there were certan copies with
    different dialects of various tribes. The State of
    Madina had expanded and recitation of the
    Qur’an in different dialects was creating
    problems. Hazrat Usman RAU re-compiled the
    Qur’an,standarizing the recitation of it. He got
    the unauthentic copies of the Qur’an
    eradicated. Thus he is known as Sayad ul
    Qur’an and Jami ul Qur’an.
