Overview

Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A) entrusted the task of compilation of the holy Quran to Zaid bin Sabit at the request of Hazrat Umar (R.A). Hazrat Umar was the 2nd caliph of Islam, and his caliphate lasted for 10 years, from 634 to 644. He was given the title of Al-Farooq, which means "the one who distinguishes between right and wrong". Hazrat Umar was buried in Masjid e Nabvi, which is located in Medina, Saudi Arabia.

The compilation of the Quran was a significant task, as it involved collecting and verifying the verses of the Quran that had been revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Zaid bin Sabit was a companion of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and was known for his knowledge of the Quran. He was tasked with collecting the verses of the Quran from various sources, including palm leaves, bones, and stones. The compilation of the Quran was completed during the caliphate of Hazrat Uthman (R.A), who was the third caliph of Islam.
