    Assalamu alaikum,

    Why wasn't Quran compiled in the order it was revealed? I tried researching on this topic. But couldn't find any convincing explanation. May Allah forgive me If I'm wrong - but I believe it would have been great if it were compiled in the order it was revealed. Then one could travel through its early journey without having to refer any other documents/history since Quran validates itself!

    I would love to know your take on this

    Regards,
    Thanzeel

      Peace Good question. I have been thinking about that too. Maybe the original one was! Where are the verses that Prophet Mohamed wrote down? When did he compile these into the book called Quran? It's my understanding that chapter headings, sura and verse numbers were added later after Prophet Muhamed's death ( by Uthman at time of Ummayed rule?). Is it possible that the order of revelation was reorganised at the time? What is the historical/archeological evidence?

        Peace thanzeelms, Lena.

        Simply, the author of Qoran, protects Qoran. Whatever happened was controlled/authorised /allowed by the creator to happen in order for us to get what we have as "Qoran" of today..

        He said it is for all future generations, and He said He has preserved it fully.

        Who do we trust?

        Peace.

          Salaam thanzeelms and welcome to the forum handshake

          The reason you could not find a convincing explanation is because there is no other order then how it is now.
          What is according you the first verse of The Quran and why do you think it's the first?

            Well said, and why the First Word of the Book found today is such that signifies the First Physical reality---

                Wa Alaikum Salaam Thanzeel,

                welcome to the forum.

                Order of revelation? What is it actually? As per 16101 and 5101, aayaats and alQuraan still under revelation and it will be always if you are referring to the words derived from Noon Zaa Laam for example nazala.

                Please note the word in 16101 is used for aayaats, it is used for present tense and also for future tense. This exact same word is used in 3024 for sending down water from sky. We have to understand that sending of water from sky is not once and for all, it is a continues process, the same goes for sending down aayaats in 16101. So, why this isn't in continues process?

                Please take a look at this, it may help you inshaAllah.

                May Allah increase us in knowledge and guide us to His only path pr
                mmKhan
