	Uthman bni Affan
		Uthman is credited for having centralized the administration of the Muslim state, and it was during his reign that the compilation of the Koran was completed.
		Uthman was the last caliph who could enjoy unity in the Muslim world, even if there was much displeasure with his regime.
		Through his weakness, Uthman became one of the most important men of early Islam, paving for the first schisms in the religion, schisms that still exist (Sunni, Shi'i and Khariji).

	Uthman
		Uthman was a member of the wealthy Umayyad clan; his early conversion is noteworthy since most members of his clan did not convert until the conquest of Mecca in 630.
		Uthman appears to have played only a small role during the lifetime of Muhammad and the caliphates of Abu Bakr and Umar.
		Uthman was chosen caliph by a six-member comittee in 644.

	'Uthman and the Recension of the Koran
		The story of the caliphates of 'Uthman, 'Umar, and 'Ali is the story of this initial and most difficult process of transformation, and of the gloomy experiences by which the gaps in the Prophet's ordinances were filled up and the mistakes of his first successors corrected.
		It was 'Uthman’s unhappy lot to be called upon not only to seek a remedy for the financial blunders of his great predecessor 'Umar, but to oppose himself to all the moral consequences of the faulty direction which Islamic society was taking under the stress of adversity and bitter disappointments.
		The measure adopted by 'Uthman was a radical and bold one, and stands out in contrast to the reputation for weakness which tradition attaches to him in other acts of his administration.

	Uthman in History
		As the caliphate of Uthman came to an end in chaos and confusion culminating in his assassination, we cannot regard his rule as a Caliph to be a success.
		Uthman tried to rule as a democrat, and in the absence of any safeguards to restrain the people from indulging in false propaganda, the liberties of the people degenerated into licence, and brought the Muslim polity to grief.
		Uthman did not succeed as the Caliph not because he was weak or he favored his relatives, but because he was kind to the people, and the people took undue advantage of his kindness.
