Lives Of The Sahaba 07 - Abu Bakr al-Siddiq - PT 07

In this mesmerizing talk, Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi sheds light and elaborates on the compilation and preservation of the Qur'an by Abu Bakr As Siddiq (r). The Shaykh seeks to illustrate the effects and lessons that we imbibe from the Battle of Ridda discussed in the previous talk  - the eminent one being the conservation and preservation of the Qur'an. He also attempts to answer the pertinent questions in our mind - Why wasn't the Noble Qur'an gathered until then? Who compiled the Qur'an? Who was the motivating factor behind Abu Bakr RA finally compiling the Qur'an? Zayd Ibn Thabit is elaborately talked about in this talk with emphasis on his expertise in memorization of the Qur'an and how his prowess was utilized even at a time of utmost importance. The Qur'an was compiled by many learned individuals and there  was some difference in each one's compilation due to legitimate reasons about which we are enlightened by Shaykh Yasir Qadhi.
