What is the Chronological Order of revelation of Verses?
-
I believe the verses in Qur'an have not been arranged in their chronological order of revelation. This obviously hampers quality interpretation of verses, like 43.
It seems like the verses were not revealed chapter by chapter. Is there any way to obtain the Qur'an in its chronological order?

Peace Neptin.
That is something really interesting to ask.
I have tried in the past to look at the history of how the prophet received Qoran verse /s by verse/s, but I could not find anything solid. I found order of surahs!
This left me with no choice but to deduce that GOD intended to arrange Qoran in surahs as we finally have it.(75 17-19) and that the civil war of the early believers left doubts about the true history?However I would love anyone to give me the origin of this table published by Rashad Khalifa
https//submission.org/App23.htmlI could find bits of information in Hadiths, but not the entire surahs. Similar tables appeared elsewhere like Tanzil.com... but they have been copied from RK.
Interesting to hear other views on this.
GOD bless you.

There certainly is although I do not kno of any place in particular, I think there is even some edition of Qur'an ith that arrangement.
Hoever, myself I do not think except from a historical value that from the point of view of the value of the Qur'an as meant having that particular order helps at all.
As is, the Qur'an gives all the context you need for what you do need or want.
I also do not kno ho trustworthy is no such order of revelation nor if there is any disagreement concerning it.
May be you can try quran sites till you find it, or sear for order of revelation Qur'an.

There are many studies on this.

It may be interesting to note that all verses that discuss "al hajj" occur in the latter half of the revelation of AQ, not only according to Traditional order of revelation but also independent analysis of the likely order based on content, style etc, e.g. see chapter 7 of "Introduction to Quran" by Richard Bell, or chapter 2 of "Discovering the Quran" by Neal Robinson.
