Summary: Compilation & Preservation of the Qur'an<br> <br> During the Khilafah of Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) seventy of the Sahabah that had memorized the Qur'an were martyred in the battle of Yamama fighting against the false prophet Musaylama al-Khadab.<br> <br> The Qur'an at that time was not complied in one single book. Upon realising that if more companions that had memorised the Qur'an became martyrs the Qur'an may be lost forever the great companion Umar b. al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) insisted to Abu Bakr to compile the Qur'an in one book.<br> <br> And so began the historic and momentous task of compiling the Speech of Allah!
