MCQ Detailed View

Sharjeel ibn Hasana Kandi was the first known individual to serve as a prescriber (writer) of Wahi (divine revelation) in Makkah during the early days of Islam. At a time when the Qur'an was being revealed gradually to Prophet Muhammad (SAW), the responsibility of recording these revelations was a critical and highly trusted role. Writing down Wahi ensured that the message of Allah was preserved accurately, especially before it was compiled into the complete Qur’an after the Prophet’s (SAW) passing.

Sharjeel ibn Hasana Kandi was among the literate individuals in Makkah and is recognized in early Islamic records for his contribution in writing down the divine verses revealed to the Prophet (SAW). His role was significant in the initial documentation of the Quranic revelations, especially in an era when few people were able to read or write.

While later, prominent companions like Zayd ibn Thabit (RA) and Hazrat Ali (RA) also played major roles in the collection and compilation of the Qur’an, Sharjeel ibn Hasana's early involvement in Makkah marks him as a pioneering figure in the preservation of Islamic revelation.
