Islam was destined to be a world religion and a civilization, stretched from one end of the globe to the other. The early Muslim caliphates (empires), first the Arabs, then the Persians and later the Turks set about to create classical Islamic civilization. In the 13th century, both Africa and India became great centers of Islamic civilization. Soon after, Muslim kingdoms were established in the Malay-Indonesian world, while Muslims flourished equally in China. Islamic civilization is committed to two basic principles: oneness of Allah and oneness of humanity. Islam does not allow any racial, linguistic or ethnic discrimination; it stands for universal humanism. Besides, Islam has some peculiar features that distinguish it from other cotemporary civilizations.The Islamic Civilization was able to quickly become an empire that stretched from the Atlantic Ocean to just east of China, and from the Persian and Indian Oceans to north of the Black Sea in less than 100 years.

The Prophet’s secretary Zaid bin Thabit and others used to record them exactly as the Prophet told them. He continued reading it back to the Prophet until 632 (CE). Shortly after the death of the Prophet in 632 (CE) Omar (May Allah be pleased with him) suggested to caliph Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Qur’an should be compiled in one volume. Up to then, the Qur’an was written down in pieces in order as they were revealed. A Committee was formed under Zaid bin Thabit to gather the scattered material of the Qur’an into one volume. And Abu Bakr ordered the compilation of the Qur’an (Düzgün and Sağlık, 2005: 29).
