Preservation Of The Glorious Qur’an

Bayani Gaba-gaba

Preservation of the Glorious Qur’an is a fundamental aspect of Islamic Studies, encompassing the meticulous process by which the holy book was safeguarded for eternity. The preservation of the Qur’an is a testament to the divine protection granted by Allah to ensure that His final revelation to humanity remains unchanged and unaltered.

One of the key objectives of studying the preservation of the Glorious Qur’an is to identify the individuals who played pivotal roles in arranging the holy text. The companions of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) were instrumental in recording the revelations and compiling them into the form we recognize today. Their unwavering dedication and commitment to preserving the Qur’an have allowed Muslims worldwide to access the unchanged words of Allah.

It is essential to differentiate between the Makkan and Madinan suwar in the Qur’an to appreciate the historical context and thematic differences between the chapters revealed in Makkah and those in Madinah. Understanding this distinction provides insights into the evolution of the message of Islam and the challenges faced by the early Muslim community.

Furthermore, a critical aspect of the preservation of the Qur’an is the meticulous recording, compilation, and standardization of the holy text. The companions painstakingly wrote down each revelation on various materials such as palm leaves, parchment, and bones to ensure its retention and transmission to future generations accurately. The compilation of the Qur’an into its final form during the caliphate of Abu Bakr and the standardization of the text during the reign of Uthman ibn Affan solidified its preservation.

Examining the role played by the companions of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) in preserving the Qur’an unveils their unparalleled dedication and sacrifice in safeguarding the divine message. Their role in memorizing, reciting, and transmitting the Qur’anic verses ensured that even the minutest details of the revelations were preserved with utmost accuracy.

In conclusion, the preservation of the Glorious Qur’an stands as a remarkable testament to the unwavering commitment of the early Muslim community in safeguarding the final revelation of Allah. Studying the preservation of the Qur’an allows us to appreciate the divine protection granted to ensure the endurance and authenticity of the holy text for all time.

Who among these sahabah presided over compilation of Al-Qur'an?
Bayanin Amsa

The compilation of the Qur'an was primarily presided over by Zayd ibn Thabit.


Zayd ibn Thabit was a young companion of the Prophet Muhammad and had a reputation for being very knowledgeable and trustworthy. He was chosen by the first caliph after the Prophet's death, Abu Bakr, to lead the task of compiling the Qur'an into a single written form. This decision was made due to the concern that many of those who memorized the Qur'an were dying in battles, and there was a risk of parts of the Qur'an being lost.


Zayd had previously served as one of the scribes for Prophet Muhammad, meaning he was already familiar with the Qur'anic revelations as they occurred during the Prophet's lifetime. Abu Bakr instructed Zayd to gather all the pieces of the Qur'an that were written down or memorized, verify them, and compile them into a unified document. This effort ensured the preservation of the Qur'an for future generations and was a monumental achievement in Islamic history.


Later, during the caliphate of Uthman ibn Affan, Zayd ibn Thabit also played a significant role in creating standardized copies of the Qur'an to ensure uniformity and avoid variations or discrepancies. This effort led to the production of the "Uthmanic Codex," which serves as the reference for Muslims even today.
