How can the arrangement of the Quranic verses according to their revelation be reconciled with the current arrangement, and which of them is more correct, and when did the actual compilation of the Noble Quran begin?
The arrangement of the Quran was established during the time of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, as he would instruct the scribes of revelation to place the verses in their designated positions. The Quran was preserved in memory in this order, and the Prophet recited it to Jibreel in this arrangement in the year of his passing. Abu Bakr As-Siddiq then compiled it from palm-leaf stalks, thin white stones, and shoulder blades after it had been dispersed. Then, Uthman compiled it again and distributed it as copies of the Mushaf.
