CAbu Bakr (RA)

Explanation
– Uthman (RA) standardized the Quranic text into a single authoritative script, known as the Uthmani script, and distributed official copies to major cities to resolve growing disputes over regional recitation differences.
– This effort ensured the uniformity of the Quran that continues today.
– For exams, remember that this standardization occurred roughly two decades after the Prophet’s death, during Uthman’s caliphate.
