(b) Why was the Quran not compiled in to a book form (Mushaf) during the lifetime of the Prophet (P.b.u.h)? (6 marks)

The Quran was not compiled into one book (Mushaf) during the lifetime of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) because,

As long as the Prophet (p .b .u.h) was alive, there was a possibility of fresh revelation of the Quran.
Religious and legal issues or disputes were referred to the Prophet (p.b.u.h) for arbitration and guidance, thus removing the need for compilation of the Quran.
There was a little time to write a book as Muslims were actively involved in defending themselves against attacks from non believers and in preaching Islam.
Those who could read and write were few, thus writing a Mushafwas not a priority.
There were no disputes or controversy with regard to the pronunciation of the Quran during the prophet’s time.
The fear of loss of the Quran did not arise as majority of the companions had memorized it, were alive and so was the Prophet (p .b .u .h).
The last revelation occurred shortly before the death of the prophet, thus leaving little room for compilation.
Due to the fact that some verses were abrogated in the course of the revelation and therefore ﬂexibility needed to be maintained.
The verses and chapters were not always revealed in their ﬁnal order.
