Assalamualaikum,
I am pleased to meet you all. I am a new member here.
I was reading the free-minds Isra and Miraj article here http//www.free-minds.org/isra-miraj
and I have a few questions I would appreciate if someone can help me with them.
People are told in Sunni and other sects Surah Anfal was revealed during Jang-e-baddar. My question is that if the Quran was revealed as a whole then why in the Surah Allah First tells the Muslim to overcome kuffar with a proportion of 110 then later Allah gives the proportion of 12 considering the weakness of the people? If Quran was revealed as a whole then we have orders relating hijrat and jihad against those who compelled Muslims out of their homes these orders relate to Prophet's after he declared his prophet-hood. That was a question for making the link of the event. Now as we hear that last two chapters revealed when a Jew women cast some sort of spell on Muhammad (s.) Did all these events happen prior to the revelation of the Quran.
I was actually asked this by a friend who believes that Allah telling Muslims to overcome kuffar in proportion of 110 then it realizing the weakness says go in a proportion of 12, is enough evidence that the Quran was revealed bit by bit.
Thank you.
