Question

How was the Quran compiled during the time of Hazrat Osman (R) ?

Answer 1

The greatest achievement of Hazrat Othman (R) is to protect Quran Majeed from all kinds of distortions and to spread it widely. During the conquest of Azerbaijan and ' Babul Abwab ' in the year 30 AH , the armies of different countries came together. There was a difference of opinion between them about reading the Qur'an. The Egyptians had a different style of reading , and the Iraqis and Syrians had a different style of reading. Therefore , there is a difference of opinion among them about the style of recitation of the Qur'an. Differentiators like this tend to think that their reading is pure and the reading of others is impure. Hazrat Huzaifa (R) in consultation with Sahaba Keram brought Siddiqui's written compilation from the time of Akbar (R) and sent it to different countries in eight copies by Hazrat Zayd bin Sabet (R) and Hazrat Sayyid bin A'ch ( R). Thus the pure compilation was propagated in different countries and cities , at the same time Hazrat Othman (R) also instructed that those who compiled the Holy Qur'an on their own initiative should cancel their compilation. This instruction is fully complied with. And this is how the Qur'an was compiled properly during the time of Hazrat Osman (R).
