Question:
He asks and says: Tell us, if you please, who wrote the Noble Qur'an for us, and who established the verse numbers?
Answer:
The Noble Qur'an was written by the Companions from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then, during the time of 'Uthman, a committee of four was formed for it, including Zayd ibn Thabit, the scribe of revelation. They compiled the Mushaf that is in our hands now, on a single dialect, so that people would not dispute. It had been revealed in seven dialects, so the Companions compiled it on a single dialect during the time of 'Uthman. This is what is in our hands now, and praise be to Allah. It is preserved from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) through the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them and grant them satisfaction), and nothing has been changed in it. This is from the mercy of Allah, for He, the Exalted, said: [Al-Hijr:9]. It is He who sent down the Reminder, and it is He who preserved it, and it is the Qur'an. Therefore, He said (Exalted and Majestic is He): [Al-Hijr:9].
And Allah preserved it through the hand of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), then through the hand of the Companions, and then through the hand of the people of knowledge, generation after generation. They preserve it in their hearts, receive it from one another, and write it in the Mushafs. All of this is from the mercy of Allah and His preservation of His great Book. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
