Following the passing of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, the first Caliph, Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (RA), initiated the compilation of the Quran into a single manuscript. This decision was prompted by the martyrdom of many Huffaz (memorizers of the Quran) during the Battle of Yamama, raising concerns about preserving the Quran in its entirety. Zayd ibn Thabit (RA), one of the Prophet’s primary scribes and a trusted companion, was appointed to lead this sacred and meticulous task. Later, during the caliphate of Uthman ibn Affan (RA), the Quran was standardized into a single script (known as the Uthmani script) to eliminate dialectical variations in recitation. Multiple identical copies were then distributed to major Islamic regions, ensuring the unity and consistency of the Quranic text that continues to this day.
