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 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
