- 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.

Assalamu Alaykum Wara7matullah,
ReplyDeleteJAK for dropping a few comments on my blog, your thought-provoking comments are ALWAYS more than welcome!!!
I just began watching the series of lectures you posted, but I will for sure submit another comment with my thoughts Insha'Allah once I finish all seven videos.
You know, Muslims are always first to brag about how the Quran is in its authentic, original form...While this remark is true, many of these Muslims are ignorant as to how the Quran was compiled. Subhan'Allah...May many more Muslim individuals benefit from your post :-)
Salam,
