Uthman ibn Affan, the third Rashidun caliph, ruled until the year 656 CE. His reign was marked by significant expansion of the Islamic empire, including the conquest of Egypt and parts of North Africa. Uthman also played a key role in the compilation and standardization of the Quran. However, his rule also faced internal challenges and conflicts, ultimately leading to his assassination in 656 CE.
