So, a book called "mushaf" emerged, which means written verses.Ī total of 33,000 companions agreed that every letter of the Quran was in the right place. The copy of the Quran was recited to the companions at a general meeting. The companions reached a consensus that this writing, which was used by Prophet Ismail in Hejaz, is the writing of Muslims.
The writing used was the Arabic script of the time, which was already old and used commonly at that time in Hejaz. Saeed ibn al-Aas, who was renowned for the beauty of his handwriting, wrote them down on gazelle skin. There are 6,236 verses, 114 surahs and about 323,000 letters in the Quran. The verse is the name given to each sentence of the Quran and the surah is the name given to each part of the holy book. Each of the verses was taught by the archangel Gabriel and declared by Prophet Muhammad. Thus, all the verses of the Quran that describe the creation of the universe and people, judgment day, exemplary stories of the people who lived before and the beliefs, worship, morals and legal bases that believers should obey were collected together into a single-volume book. Each of them was asked to show two witnesses for the verse they read. In addition, the verses memorized by the companions were heard as well. 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 ancient times, literacy was a skill that few people had and Muhammad himself did not know how to read or write.ĭuring 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.Ību Bakr formed a delegation under the leadership of Zaid ibn Thabit, one of the leading scribes. The companions of Prophet Muhammad, who were great people, played an important role in the compilation of the Quran, leaving an interesting story behind.ĭuring the 23 years of Muhammad's time as a prophet, the verses of the Quran were memorized as they were revealed, and about 42 scribes wrote the verses on different materials such as paper, cloth, bone fragments and leather. 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.
