When the Prophet Muhammad died, the Quran has been fully written down. After the death of the Prophet Muhammad, the entire Quran continued to be remembered in the hearts of the early Muslims. Hundreds of the early Companions of the Prophet had memorized the entire revelation, and Muslims daily recited large portions of the text from memory. Many of the early Muslims also had personal written copies of the Quran recorded on various materials.
When these perfect copies had been completed, Uthman bin Affan ordered all remaining transcripts to be destroyed, so that all copies of the Quran were uniform in script.
The words of the Quran were collected as they were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad, committed to memory by the early Muslims, and recorded

With each new verse that was revealed, the Prophet Muhammad also dictated its placement within the growing body of text.
When the Prophet Muhammad died, the Quran has been fully written down. It was not in book form. It was recorded on different parchments and materials, held in the possession of the Companions of the Prophet.
Under Supervision of Caliph Abu Bakr
After the death of the Prophet Muhammad, the entire Quran continued to be remembered in the hearts of the early Muslims. Hundreds of the early Companions of the Prophet had memorized the entire revelation, and Muslims daily recited large portions of the text from memory. Many of the early Muslims also had personal written copies of the Quran recorded on various materials.
Ten years after the Hijrah (632 C.E.), many of these scribes and early Muslim devotees were killed in the Battle of Yamama.
While the community mourned the loss of their comrades, they also began to worry about the long-term preservation of the Holy Quran. Recognizing that the words of Allah needed to be collected in one place and preserved, the Caliph Abu Bakr ordered all people who had written pages of the Quran to compile them in one
The press standardized grammar, spelling and punctuation in works. At the time, books would be copied by monks from the original work. Not only it was very expensive and long to do so, but books would not be identical from one monk to another. Each monk had his way of spelling and using grammar, which could lead to differences in interpretation. Every monk had his own spacing between words and lines, and, often, would not be the same from page to page of the same book. With Gutenberg’s printing press, spelling and grammatical rules soon were recognized and followed. Spacing between words was now the same and lines where evenly spaced on every page. This standardization could be seen in Gutenberg’s 42-line bible. Every page except for the first 10 had 42 lines and used the same font; there were 290 master characters to complete the bible. The printing press also allowed the number of letters on every page to increase by 50%. Those new found regulations of printing allowed readers to interpret authors’ intentions more accurately and made reading a more pleasant activity. Since the movable type press spread all around Europe, those rules soon became common everywhere on the
Although written over 800 years apart, Muhammad's Night Journey and
The Koran, is a religious document. It was wrote by Muhammad. It took Muhammad 23 years to write, beginning on 22 December 609 CE. He wrote the documents in the Cave of Hira and Medina. The reason why he wrote this is because Allah had spoken to him and requested for him to write.
...writers? Looks were exchanged, pages were ripped out, and who knows what was kept from this document. Having a record is the best way to present the gift of knowledge, so that we can make the world better but so much is affected by the surrounding situation. Our knowledge is fallible.”
... in London and it was read out aloud. Then they would prepare the letters to print in the journal. The typewriter had not been invented during this time, so the letters were handwritten. Gutenberg had already invented the printing press a few centuries before, so the Royal Society was able to use the nice print to put the letters in.

In the discussion that follows, I will often talk of what “the Qur’an intends,” or what “the Torah means to say” on a topic. It should be understood that I am not ascribing human attributes to inanimate books, but rather that I am intentionally avoiding the conflict inherent in naming the author of these books. Depending on one’s tastes, one could understand the Qur’an’s intention to be either Muhammad or Allah’s intention. Likewise, “the Torah means to say” could really be understood as what either Moses or G-d means to say. Either way, the important point is that somebody thought through the stories and decided on which words were worthy of being included in the holy texts and which were not. One of the underlying assumptions of this paper is that the stories were written down the way we find them today for a reason, and this paper intends to shed light on some of those reasons.
The Quran was revealed on Prophet Muhammad in the twelfth century. Since Quran was revealed to prophet and there was no written significance of it so the need to pen down the quranic verses was felt in order to preserve it. So in order to pen it down Muslims started to use parchments. Writing Arabic scripts mainly became the symbol of Arabic world and its civilizations. This writing of Quran became an art which was named calligraphy.
He has been called a prophet, a messenger of God, and a savior. Muhammad ibn Abdullah was the founder of a religion which spread rapidly not only throughout the middle east but the world as well. Unlike other prophets from other religions however, there are large amounts of documentation and recorders about who this messenger of God was as not exclusively as a spiritual leader but a historical figure. There are documentations which create images of almost every aspect of Muhammad’s life. These records give scholars insight into Muhammad’s state of mind but furthermore the abundance of records make the prophet much more relatable for the Muslims of today.
The author also explained that shortly after the Hijra, another verse was revealed to him, giving permission for one to fight if they feel they have been wronged. Furthermore, war against unbelievers, or Jihad, is encouraged. One who fights for his purpose will have a far greater reward than one who chooses not to. Those who are killed in battle will have paradise to look forward to, “They have struck a bargain with God.”(Cook, 1983: 54). This policy is very convenient and effective for Muhammad to spread his religion. It is very motivating to believe you have God on your side during a war.
Malay Manuscript is a handwritten document in Jawi scripts, which is generated within the early 16th century until the beginning of the 20th century. The Malay Manuscript covered a wide range of subject matter includes literature, historiography, laws and legislation, letters, traditional medicine, poem, religious texts, tips, talisman, horoscope, storytelling fortune and so on. Manuscripts generally refer to unpublished original sources and have the characteristic of being unique. Currently, many of these invaluable sources are physically stored in secure archives and are accessible in a very restricted way to a handful of experts only, due to their fragile nature.
The Quran was recorded as soon as it was revealed to the Prophet. It was written down in its original language Arabic, the only language according to Muslims, that the Quran can be fully understood in. the Quran was first written on scraps of paper before being compilated by the Prophets Secretary, Zaid Bin Thabit. Great care was taken to ensure the complete and unchanged compilation of the holy Quran. The Quran contains 114 surahs (chapters), 6236 ayahs (verses) and it is divided into 30 ajza (parts).
It has no weak points like the many other holy books where you were only taught about only one of the life. The Quran is a book which gives mankind both the spiritual and mental energy they require or want. The main points include the oneness of God, faith and God-consciousness, the Hereafter and its significance. The Quran also puts very much importance on common sense. In these terms humans understanding, the Quran goes a long way to just satisfying the human intellect; it guides or forces one to reflect on their actions. The Quran is filled with quotes and expressions which are there to guide us and help us in our time of need. One of the most important points to bolster up the fact that Quran and Islam are the complete religion are due to the fact that even science is backing up all of the points made in the Quran which have even forced non believers to seek guidance and knowledge from the Quran they look to Quran so that they could extract the necessary information from it so that they can prove their experiments and proofs ,some of the important and main points about science mentioned in the Quran are the big bang theory ,embryology, photosynthesis and many more . There is not a single statement that has not been proved by the modern discoveries of the society. Another important characteristics of the Quran is that it has been written in very east and clear terms if you compare it to some other holy books as they have been written in a very difficult dialect. Mankind can’t even begin to comprehend the knowledge present in the Quran only now have we been able to fathom even a little bit of the intelligence the Islam has given us in the form of Quran. Many a philosophers have looked for its guidance. During the golden age for the Muslim empire all of its scientists, philosophers and poets all were good Muslims, who gained their knowledge from the text of the
