THE PURPOSE OF SENDING THE QURAN IN TWO LEVELS: THE “IN STAGES” AND THE “ALL AT ONCE” ORDER (WHICH WE HAVE TODAY):

 

The “All At Once” order is the main permanent form of the Divine Book and this has been destined to be the manual and handbook for the Muslim Nation, the believers of Islam and followers of Muhammad, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam. This is to be recited, studied and applied for the establishment of the rules and regulations for living up to the end of the world.

 

The “In Stages” order was for Muhammad, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, to invite and call people towards Islam. This is the order which should be used by Muslims when preaching Islam to non-believers.

 IN STAGES:

 It is the transfer of the Word of Allah, the Quran, from heaven to the Prophet Muhammad, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, gradually, over a period of 23 years. It was revealed in pursuance of the circumstances and events dealt with by the Prophet in ten verses at one time, five some times, sometime more, as also many more as well. The verses revealed in Makkah are called Makkan and the ones revealed in Madeenah are termed Madeenan. The order of revelation is quite different to that of the “All at once” order.

 

The following are the quotations from the Quran related to the order of revelation that point out to the gradual revelation in piecemeal. Allah Says (what means):

 

“It is He Who continued sending down the Writ (the Quran) to you with truth, confirming what came before it. And He sent down the Tawraat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel).” [Quran 3:3]

 

“Say: Whoever is an enemy to (angel) Jibreel, (let him die in his fury, for indeed he has continuously brought it down to your heart by Allah’s permission, confirming what came before it and guidance and glad tidings for the believers.” [Quran 2:97]

 

“And We went on sending from the Quran that which is a healing and mercy to those who believe, and it increases the wrong-doers nothing but loss.” [Quran 17:82]

 

“Say: The Spirit (angel Jibreel) had been bringing it (the Quran) down from your Lord with truth, that it may make firm and strengthen (the faith of) those who believe and as a guidance and glad tidings to those who have submitted themselves to Allah.” [Quran 16:102]

 

“And (it is) a Writ (Quran) which He have divided (into parts), in order that you might recite it to men at intervals. And We have revealed it by stages.” [Quran 17:106]

 

“And if you (mankind) are in doubt concerning that which We have sent down (the Quran in stages) to one slave, then produce a chapter of the like thereof and call witnesses (supporters and helpers) besides Allah, if you are truthful.” [Quran 2:23]

 

“Verily We: It is We who have sent down (in stages) the Thikr (Quran) and surely, We will guard it (from corruption).” [Quran 15:9]

 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.”

 IBLIS’S (SATAN-SHAITAN) VOW TO MISLEAD 

Allah Almighty recounts Iblis’s disobedience in another surah: (Remember) when your Lord said to the angels: “Truly I am going to create man from clay. So when I have fashioned him and breathed into him (his) soul created by Me, then you fall down prostrate to him.” So the angels prostrated themselves, all of them: except Iblis, he was proud and was one of the disbelievers.

 

(Allah) said: “0 Iblis! What prevents you from prostrating yourself to one whom I have created with Both My Hands. Are you too proud (to fall prostrate to Adam) or are you one of the high exalted?” (Iblis) said, “I am better than he, You created me from fire, and You created him from clay.”

 

(Allah) said: “Then get you from here, for verily, you are outcast. And verily!, My Curse is on you till the Day of Recompense.” (Iblis) said: ‘My Lord! Give me then respite till the Day the (dead) are resurrected.” Allah said: “Verily! You are of those allowed respite – till the Day of the time appointed.” Iblis said: “By Your Might, then I will surely mislead them all, – except Your chosen slaves amongst them (faithful, obedient, true believers of Islamic Monotheism).”

 EATING FROM THE FORBIDDEN TREE

“And O Adam! Dwell you and your wife in Paradise, and eat thereof as you both wish, but approach not this tree otherwise you both will be of the Zalimeen (unjust and wrong-doers).”

 

Then Satan whispered suggestions to them both in order to uncover that which was hidden from them of their private parts (before); he said: “Your Lord did not forbid you this tree save you should become angels or become of the immortals.” And he (Satan) swore by Allah to them both (saying): “Verily, I am one of the sincere well-wishers for you both.”

 

So he misled them with deception. Then when they tasted of the tree, that which was hidden from them of their shame (private parts) became manifest to them and they began to stick together the leaves of Paradise over themselves (in order to cover their shame). And their Lord called out to them (saying): “Did I not forbid you that tree and tell you: Verily, Satan is an open enemy unto you?”

 

They said: “Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves. If You forgive us not, and bestow not upon us Your Mercy, we shall certainly be of the losers.” Allah said: “Get down, one of you an enemy to the other (i.e. Adam, Eve, and Satan, etc.). On earth will be a dwelling-place for you and an enjoyment, – for a time.” He said: “Therein you shall live, and therein you shall die, and from it you shall be brought out (i.e., resurrected). Surah 7: 19-25

 ADAM (ALAIHI ASSALAM) – IBLIS (SATAN-SHAITAN), MAN’S ENEMY

IBLIS’S (SATAN-SHAITAN) ARROGANCE

Almighty Allah also revealed: And surely, We created you (your father Adam) and then gave you shape (the noble shape of a human being), then We told the angels, “Prostrate to Adam; and they prostrated, except Iblis, he refused to be of those who prostrate.”

(Allah) said: “What prevented you (O Iblis) that you did not prostrate, when I commanded you?”

(Iblis) said: “I am better than him (Adam), You created me from fire, and him You created from clay.”

(Allah) said: “0 Iblis, get down from this (Paradise), it is not for you to be arrogant here. Get out, for you are of those humiliated and disgraced.” Surah 7: 11-13

 

IBLIS’S (SATAN-SHAITAN) VOW FOR EVIL

(Iblis) said: “Allow me respite till the Day they are raised up (i.e. The Day of Resurrection).”

(Allah) said: “You are of those allowed respite.”

(Iblis) said: “Because You have sent me astray, surely I will sit in wait against them (human beings) on Your Straight Path. Then I will come to them from before them and behind them, from their right and from their left, and You will not find most of them as thankful ones (i.e. they will not be dutiful to You).”

(Allah) said (to Iblis): “Get out from this (Paradise) disgraced and expelled. Whoever of them (mankind) will follow you, then surely I will fill Hell with you all.” Surah 7: 14-18
