Quiz 106 – Who ordered the first complete compilation of the Qur’an?

Correct Answer is :

A) Abu Bakr (RA)

Description:

The first complete compilation of the Qur’an was ordered by Abu Bakr As-Siddiq (RA), the first Caliph of Islam. This initiative was taken after many memorizers of the Qur’an were martyred in the Battle of Yamama.

Upon the suggestion of Umar ibn Al-Khattab (RA), Zayd ibn Thabit (RA) was tasked with compiling the Qur’an into one written manuscript to preserve it. This event is documented in Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith 4986.
