Even though Uthman canonized the written Quran during his reign in
653-656, small diacritical variations still remained in the written
Quran, [this is not a neutral statement since there are differences in
words and phrases in old manuscripts like the Samarkand] which can
be seen in the early manuscripts of the Umayyad and Abbasid
Dynasties.
Due to the fact that the Quran was revealed in disjointed verses and
chapters, a point came when it needed to be gathered into a coherent
whole text. There are disagreements among both Muslim and nonMuslim scholars as to when the Quran was compiled. Some believe
Muhammad compiled it before he died, while others believe it was
collected by either Ali ibn Abu Talib or Abu Bakr.
