Answer Details
Suratul 'Adiyat, which is the 100th chapter of the Quran, prominently warns man against his tendency towards ingratitude. This chapter begins with a vivid imagery of a scene involving horses that charge swiftly, highlighting their energy and dedication in carrying out tasks. The purpose of these opening verses is to create a strong contrast between the loyalty and effort of these animals and the behavior of humans.
In the subsequent verses, the surah articulates that man, despite the many blessings and favors bestowed upon him by God, frequently shows a lack of appreciation. This is underscored by the verse that mentions how man often bears witness to this ingratitude himself, recognizing it but still falling short in expressing gratitude.
Furthermore, the surah emphasizes that in the end, humans will be held accountable for their actions, and their ungratefulness will be brought to light. These verses serve as a reminder for individuals to be mindful of their tendency towards ingratitude and to strive to be more appreciative of the blessings they have.

Question 21 Report
Who among these sahabah presided over compilation of Al-Qur'an?
Answer Details
The compilation of the Qur'an was primarily presided over by Zayd ibn Thabit.
Zayd ibn Thabit was a young companion of the Prophet Muhammad and had a reputation for being very knowledgeable and trustworthy. He was chosen by the first caliph after the Prophet's death, Abu Bakr, to lead the task of compiling the Qur'an into a single written form. This decision was made due to the concern that many of those who memorized the Qur'an were dying in battles, and there was a risk of parts of the Qur'an being lost.
Zayd had previously served as one of the scribes for Prophet Muhammad, meaning he was already familiar with the Qur'anic revelations as they occurred during the Prophet's lifetime. Abu Bakr instructed Zayd to gather all the pieces of the Qur'an that were written down or memorized, verify them, and compile them into a unified document. This effort ensured the preservation of the Qur'an for future generations and was a monumental achievement in Islamic history.
Later, during the caliphate of Uthman ibn Affan, Zayd ibn Thabit also played a significant role in creating standardized copies of the Qur'an to ensure uniformity and avoid variations or discrepancies. This effort led to the production of the "Uthmanic Codex," which serves as the reference for Muslims even today.
