Revelation of the Quran began in the month of Ramadan With its 6332 ayas (sentences) spread in 114 suras (chapters) divided in seven stages and 30 parts, the Quran was finalized and compiled in the life time of the Prophet (saw) who alone among human beings knew what it was. Only the Prophet (saw)could testify, verify and approve what the Quran consisted of as no other human being in his time shared that experience. He put his seal of approval on the finality of the divine message and gave his instructions on its arrangement. The Prophet (saw) ensured that every verse revealed to him was recorded and written at the time of its revelation. In the books of Ahadith, we also come across the names of at least 45 more companions who knew how to read and write the Quran. They are (in alphabetical order): Aban Abdur Rehman Abdu Rehman bin Hur bin Umr bin Zaid Abdulla Saeed bin al As Abdullah bin Arqam Zahri Abdullah bin Rawah Abdullah bin Saad bin Ab Sarh Abdullah bin Zaid Abdullah in Abdullah bin Abi Salool Abu Abas Abu Bakr Abu Yunis Maula Ayesha Ala bin Hadhrami Ali ibn Talib Aseed bin hadheer Aus bin Khauli Ayesha bint Abi bakr Fatima bin Muhammad Hafsa bint Umar Handhala bin Rabi Hundhala al-Asadi Jaheem binal Salt Khalid bin Saeed bin al-As Khalid bin Walid Muaqaib bin Fatima Muawiya bin Abi Safiyan Mughaira bin Shaaba Muhammad bin Salma Munzr bin Umr Nafe bin Tareeb bin Umr bin Naufal Najiatu Tafawi Rafe binMalik Sad bin al Rabee Sad bin al-As Sad bin Ibadah Shahar bin Saad Sharjeel bin Hasna Ubi ibn Kaab Umar bin al-Khattab Umme Habiba bint Abi Safiyan Umr bin Al-As Umr bin Rafe Usman bin Affan Zaid bin Thabit Zubair bin Awwam The Prophet was so particular about preserving the Quran in writing that even at the time of his migration from Makkah to Median, he had a scriber with with him with ink and pen.
