Musaef Abi Bakar Preparation
Who Was the head of that Board, which was established for the preparation of copies of Musaef Abi Bakar?
Overview
The head of the board established for the preparation of copies of the Mus-haf (the official Quranic text) was Hazrat Zaid bin Sabit.
During 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 Quran was collected between two binders by Abu Bakr, who was the first caliph of Islam, and was transferred to Umar ibn Al-Khattab, the second caliph.
The Quran was later standardized by Uthman ibn Affan, the third caliph, who established a committee to review and compile the various manuscripts of the Quran.
The standardized Quran was then distributed to the different provinces of the Islamic empire, where it was used as the official text for prayer and study.
The process of standardizing the Quran was an important milestone in Islamic history, as it helped to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the Quranic text.
