Collecting the Quran

And the preservation of the Qur'an through collection in this manner is among the greatest manifestations of the servants' worship of their Lord, and the preservation of the Qur'an in hearts and copies after that until today is another noble door from the doors of the manifestations of worship to the Glorious King, سبحانه. And where there are people who are driven by wishes, they wish that the Qur'an be collected in writing exactly as the Messenger of Allah, صلى الله عليه وسلم, received it; there are others who are driven by wishes, wishing that the rulings of Allah be revealed entirely in a book that does not require looking or effort. All of these neglect what is in the cause of preserving the religion through the Qur'an and its rulings by the actions and efforts of the Ummah, which contain wise rulings, and they neglect that the spark of the religion remains alive in the souls only through such effort and work. And the time spent by Zaid in collecting, and the time spent by two scholars in seeking Allah's judgment, are from the impact on preserving the religion and keeping its spark burning, which only those who understand and do good understanding and good reflection know.
