Historical Islamic sources confirm that the first compilation of the Quran into a single written manuscript was initiated during the caliphate of Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A) after the Battle of Yamama, where many Quran memorizers were killed. He appointed Hazrat Zaid ibn Thabit (R.A) to collect the Quranic verses from written fragments and memorization into one codex to preserve it. This compilation was kept with Abu Bakr and later with Hazrat Hafsa (R.A). Subsequently, during the caliphate of Hazrat Usman (R.A), the Quran was standardized and copies were distributed to unify the Muslim community's recitation. Therefore, the first arrangement and writing of the Quran in book form is attributed to Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A).
