Summary of Sunni concepts
The Holy Qur’an was revealed in a mineralogical manner and compiled in chronological order
The Holy Qur’an was revealed in parts over twenty-odd years
When the verse was revealed to him, may God bless him and grant him peace
He said to some of the writers
Make this verse in such-and-such Surah
Narrated by Abu Dawood, Al-Tirmidhi and Ahmed
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, collected it in the order it currently exists
Not in the order of descent
It is a suspended arrangement
The Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, presented it to Gabriel, peace be upon him, in the year in which he died twice
This is the order that God Almighty has preserved
As God Almighty said
It is We who sent down the Remembrance, and indeed We will preserve it
As for its descent, it is separated
It was used to respond to those who disagreed with the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, from those who were contemporary with its revelation
And to strengthen him, may God bless him and grant him peace, when confronting them in multiple incidents
As God Almighty said
And those who disbelieved said, “If only the Qur’an had not been revealed to him in one sentence.”
Likewise, that We may strengthen your heart with it, and We recited it as a hymn
They will not bring you an example except that we will bring you the truth and the best explanation
And the Almighty said
And We have divided the Qur’an so that you may recite it to the people over a period of time, and We have sent it down in a detailed manner
As for compiling it in its current order, it is, as we said, my discretion and not the diligence of any human being
Through it, good organization and arrangement is achieved, which is demonstrated by the knowledge of the occasions of the Holy Qur’an and the purposes of the surahs
The Almighty’s saying, “And We divided the Qur’an into it,” indicates that it was a group before it was divided
It was pluralized in the Preserved Tablet before it was revealed, and its current plural agrees with it in order
Therefore, there is no basis for any objection to the knowledge of the occasions of the Qur’an and the purposes of the surahs
And the many gifts that result from it
The final statement is that the Holy Qur’an, if it was revealed after its revelation, was collected separately
In its revelation, it was separated from a collection with a precise arrangement, which is the one that follows its current arrangement
Muslims should beware of calls to arrange it according to revelation, as they are false calls for two reasons
Firstly, this is contrary to his image in which God preserved him and in which the precision of his systems becomes clear
Secondly, it is not possible to achieve this because the verses were revealed according to events and they are from a specific surah
Before the surah is completed, other verses are revealed from another surah, so what order do we adopt?
Which surah do we put before the other, and each of them has verses preceding the second
The bottom line is that the Holy Qur’an guides to the truth by reciting verses at the time of events and decrees
It also guides to the truth through its well-established and comprehensive system, so it is a differentiator of guidance in the state of predestination
And a total of stops for guidance according to the hermetic system
