- Do you know who / when / where / how / why the Quran was complied, as we know it today?
- Did Usman or Uthman (R.A), the third Calif, instigate the collection and publication process?
- Was the Quran preserved as revealed to the Prophet (SAW)?
- Allah (SWT) has stated in the Quran that "we are responsible for it's preservence" - how can it be you ask?

These and some other questions were crossing my mind and so I started the research. The goal was to educate my self and then be able to share what I could find.

From the articles to the online videos, I came across these "7" lectures by Hamza Yusuf. During these lectures you are going to hear, why "oral" speech is so important. So, I decided to share the links that provide an "oral" and "visual" explanation of the "how and why". It's very well complied and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

My Allah (SWT) bless/guide me and the readers with enough knowledge to keep us on the righteous path. Also to make us means of spreading the righteous knowledge.

Fi Amanellah
