Questions surrounding the compilation of the Qur'an are fundamental to the study of Islamic origins and textual history. When was revelation first written? How were individual passages preserved? Did the Qur'an exist as an organized text during Prophet Muḥammad's lifetime, or was its compilation principally a later development? These questions have generated significant historical debate.
About the Book
The Qur’an When was it compiled? investigates the history of the Qur'anic text and considers evidence concerning its recording, arrangement, preservation, and compilation. The work addresses an important field of Qur'anic studies in which Muslim historical sources and later scholarly interpretations have produced different accounts.
The discussion begins with the environment of revelation. Qur'anic passages were recited publicly, memorized by believers, and recorded in writing. These parallel methods of preservation are important for understanding how the text was transmitted within the earliest Muslim community.
A central issue concerns the extent to which the Qur'an had already been collected and arranged during the lifetime of Prophet Muḥammad. The book examines evidence relevant to this question and considers reports about later compilation activities after the Prophet's death.
The role attributed to Imam ʿAlī (ʿa) and reports concerning early Qur'anic collections are also relevant to discussions of compilation. Examining these traditions helps clarify the distinction between the existence of the Qur'anic text and later activities involving particular codices, arrangements, or standardized copies.
More broadly, the work contributes to debates concerning preservation and textual authenticity. Historical reports must be evaluated carefully and compared rather than accepted without attention to chronology or context.
By focusing specifically on when and how compilation occurred, the book provides readers with an accessible entry into one of the most significant historical questions in Qur'anic studies.

The Qur’an When was it compiled?

What role must an unseen Imam play for believers—and how can his guiding presence be defended through both reason and devotion? In Memory of the Last Ruler of God offers a concise synthesis of rational argument and devotional affirmation, reminding readers that spiritual leadership endures even in concealment.

About the Book

In Memory of the Last Ruler of God by Grand Ayatullah Wahid Khorasani (Yasin Publications, 1995) adapts the author’s foundational teachings on the principles of religion into an accessible single volume. It presents both rational and textual proofs for the necessity of a living, infallible Imam in every age. Through systematic reasoning anchored in Qur’anic argument and ahadith (prophetic and Imamic reports), the book contends that the Imam’s hidden presence safeguards the faith’s integrity and guides the community. The treatment is disciplined and reverent—logic weds lived piety, and argument is aligned with devotional commitment rather than speculation.

In Memory of the Last Ruler of God

Imam Ja’far Al Sadiq (a.s) said: “If anyone from our Shia and devotees does not have the book of Sulaym ibn Qays al Hilali, then he does not have any of our things, and he does not know any of our matters.This is the first book of Shia and is one of the secrets of Ale-Muhammad (a.s)”

Kitab Sulaym ibn Qays al-Hilaali

Imam Ḥasan al-Mujtabā (ʿa, an honorific meaning ʿalayhi al-salām — “peace be upon him”) was described by the Prophet Muḥammad (peace be upon him and his Family) as “the fragrance of my heart and the delight of my eyes.” His life embodied the gentleness, patience, and generosity that radiated from the Prophet’s own example. Like a fragrant flower whose scent spreads quietly yet deeply, Imam Ḥasan (ʿa) nurtured the moral and spiritual beauty of the early Muslim community through his wisdom (ḥikmah) and compassion (raḥmah).
