Quran Ki Tartib - History & Compilation - Dr Israr Ahmad

This lecture details the compilation of the Quran. It explains the difference between *nuzuli* order (revelation sequence) and the *mus'haf* order (arrangement in the book). The speaker clarifies that the Quran's arrangement wasn't finalized during the Prophet Muhammad's life. Following the Battle of Yamama, where many memorizers of the Quran were martyred, a committee was formed under Abu Bakr to collect the verses. Zaid ibn Thabit led this effort, gathering written fragments from various sources. The compiled Quran was then standardized during the caliphate of Uthman ibn Affan, establishing a uniform script (*rasm uthmani*) to prevent variations in recitation and ensure its preservation. The lecture also explains the rationale behind certain orthographic choices in the Uthmani script and how they affect pronunciation.
