The important things you missed are in red........ dear this answer researched max level 2....(you can check in the marking scheme if I am wrong)AoA Sir : please mark my question according to cie criteria.Q1 : How was the holy Quran Compiled Following The Holy Prophet's death.[10].Ans : The Holy Qur'an was revealed to the holy prophet (S.A.W) (not at once but) during a period of about 23 years beginning with the first revelation (in 610 AD) when he was at Cave Hira :Read in the name of your lord ......................... Taught man who he knew not (IF you write the complete 5 verses with reference number you would have scored 1 extra mark, check the marking scheme)The revelations continued for 23 years until the last revelation which the holy prophet recieved at the plain of Arafat :This day I have perfected your religion for you , completed my favor upon you and chosen for you Islam as your religion.The Quran was not compiled to a book form during the life of Holy Prophet (why) . After his death when H . Abu Bakr became caliph many of the Hafiz (the people who had memorized the Quran by heart) died in the battle of Yamama (what happened). H umar realised that if this continued The word of Allah would not be saved and conserved for the upcoming generations therefore he consulted H. Abu Bakr and advised him that it was necessary to compile the Quran . H . Abu Bakr (at first refused by saying: 'O! Umar how can I do such a thing which Prophet (S.A.W) had not done in his life time, but Hazrat Umar reluctantly persuaded hazrat Abu Bakar untill Allah opend up his chest) and he agreed and appointed (75 muslims: where it is mentioned? to assist Zaid bin Thabit for the task (what did hazrat zaid said you missed an impoertant quotation). Zaid bin Thabit collected the verses of the QUran from stones , leaves , leather ,bones etc and also from those who had memorized it and used careful methods to verify it. FIrstly he would check through his own mwmory secondly H . Umar being a Hafiz assisted him in verifying the copies. Also no verse was accepted if two trustworthy witnesses testified that it had been written in the presence of the holy prophet {SAW} and these verses were matched with the differnt collections of the companions.(methods are not properly mentioned)The fair copy prepared was known as Mushaf , It remained with the first 2 caliphs and after the death of H.Umar It came under his daughter H . Hafsa thus became known as Mushaf ul Hafsa. The caliphate of H Umar saw quick conquests and many new areas came under the muslim empire. Muslim commanders noted that many newly converted soldiers recited the Quran in a different dialect each claiming his to be the correct one . A very close companion Huzaifa bin Yaman reported such incidents from Central Asia and reported to H Usman the third Caliph. he took quick action and appointed a team of 4 knowledgeable muslims(names) including Zaid bin Thabit to prepare original copies (how many copies?) of the Holy Quran from the Mushaf i Hafsa (chronology is all wrong). these copies were sent to various provinces of the muslim empire(names of the provinces) along with reciters who recited it in the correct dialect (which dialect). The original copy was read aloud from the mosque to remove all doubts regarding the Quran and he ordered that if anyone had different copies they were to be destroyed by fire. For this service H Usman is known as Jami ul Quran .Thus the Holy Quran was compiled for the upcoming generations and has remained in its original state till now and it has not been edited or changed.
