Compilation and Abrogation of the Quranic verses and Qiraat Hafiz Muhammad Abdul Qayyum It is fact that the Quran revealed by degrees in the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) era. It is also a reality that the verses of the Quran were being abrogated and abrogating in this period. This process was continued till the death of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). The completion of the Quran had become inseparable with the death of the Prophet, because the presence of a Prophet could not deny the possibility of the end of revelation. So Abu Bakr was the first caliph who compiled the Quran in written form officially which was free of abrogated verses. In the caliph Usman period, this process of Quranic compilation was not revised but the permission for the facility of reciting the Quran in vernacular Arabic languages/accents given by the holy Prophet under the tradition Saba Ahruf was abandoned, because this facility had been becoming the cause of parting and quarrelsome amongst the Muslims in different territories of Islamic caliphate. In this perspective, Caliph Usman prepared and promulgated the copies of Suhuf Siddique and sent them into different parts of the caliphate. All the Muslims of the world follow this officially and unanimously compiled codex today.
