Quranic Preservation

The historic compilation of the Qur'an into a single written text under Caliph Abu Bakr (632-634 CE), preserving the divine revelation for future generations after concerns arose about the loss of memorizers during the Ridda Wars.

The standardization of the Quran under Caliph Uthman (644–656 CE) was a defining act of early Islam. Undertaken around 650 CE to address regional differences in recitation, it produced the Uthmanic codex that became the basis for all later manuscripts used by Muslims worldwide.
