ORDERS OF QURAN REVELATION:
There are two orders through which The Word of Allah (The Quran) was revealed:
ALL AT ONCE:
It is the order in which the whole Quran (in its present order) was transferred from the Al-Lawh Al-Mahfooth (The Preserved Tablet) to the Bayt Al-‘Izzah (The universal heaven) on the night of Al-Qadr (Decree). Allah Says (what means):
“Verily! We have sent it (this Quran) down in the night of Al-Qadr” [Quran 97:1]
“We have sent it (this Quran) down on a blessed night (i.e. the night of Al-Qadr) in the month of Ramadan. Verily, We are ever warning (mankind). Therein (that night) is decreed every matter of ordainment.” [Quran 44:3-4]
“The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Quran, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong).” [Quran 2:185]
Imaam As –Siyooti, may Allah have mercy upon him, who was famous for his vast knowledge of the Quran and its sciences, stated regarding the wisdom behind the transfer of the whole Quran: “The importance and greatness of one whole manual for all human beings up to the end of life in this world should be fully realised. Also the importance of the Prophet and his followers; the bearer and the executors of this teaching is also to be realised by the creatures of this world.”
