If you think that the beloved prophet Mohammed (PBUH) wrote the Quran, sorry this is not correct. Some Muslims especially those who are new, believe that Allah wrote it and sent it to Muhammed. The real fact actually is slightly different because of many reasons. Allah has revealed the Holy Quran to the prophet Mohammed (PBUH) through Gabriel, the angel. Then the Prophet recited the verses such as listened and his companions memorized them. Some of the followers were writing the ayat on anything around such as stones and leaves.

So we are still stuck, who wrote the Quran? How did it change from some revealed words and verses into a Holy Book? The journey started after the death of our beloved Mohammed (PBUH). The caliph Abou Bakr asked to collect all the written pieces together. He charged the companion Zaid bn Thabit to gather the Quran from the written parts and to compare with the reversed ayat. It took them years to collect and write every single word and aya in the same order. The caliph Uthman, the third Muslim caliph, commanded to write the Holy Quran in a book and to send a copy for every Muslim country.

When was the Quran written?

After our beloved prophet Mohammed (PBUH) died, his companions kept the holy Quran inside their hearts. They were reciting it every day to memorize it. Many of the early Muslims had their own written verses. After the kill of a number of those Muslim scribes in the Ymama Battle, there was a fear that who will keep the Quran. The first Muslim caliph Abou Bakr recognized that he should collect the Holy Quran. He asked Zaid bn Thabit, Omar bn Al-Khattab, and two witnesses to start gathering all written and verified verses. Ziad and Omar had very good and verified memory and both had kept the entire Quran. The witnesses are very reliable to testify the verses.

In the time of the third caliph, Uthman bin Affan, many new Muslims started to recite the Holy Quran in a different way. The variable pronunciation of the Quranic words among Muslims made the caliph worry about the future of Islam. He decided to write verified copies and send them to the other countries to unite the recitation of the Holy Quran. Uthman ordered Zaid and other companions to destroy all other copies so that all Quran books are the same just like his certified version. Now we know the answer to this question, who wrote the Quran?

The Holy Quran consists of 114 chapters each called Surah. Every chapter or surah has its own number of verses called Ayat. Chapters are different from each other in length. Also, chapters are classified according to the place of their revelation. They can be Meccan or Medinan. Allah sent the Meccan chapters to the prophet Mohammed before the migration, in Mecca. The Medinan chapters Allah sent them in Madina after the migration. However, a sūrah classified as Medinan may contain Meccan verses in it and vice versa.
