Revelation And Compilation Of The Quran
The Quran
The Quran is a book that was sent to the whole of Mankind as a means of Guidance and Mercy. It is the final revelation of the books from Allah (swt) and was revealed through the final Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him)
The word “Quran” comes from the root word Iqra which means to read or to recite. The majority of Muslim authorities hold the origin of the word is ķara`a (Arabic: قرأ), itself, among the earliest meanings of the word Quran is the "act of reciting. So we can see that the word “Quran” can mean to recite, to read. In the large majority of contexts, usually with a definite article (al-), the word is referred to as the "revelation" (tanzīl), that which has been "sent down" at intervals.
The Revelation To The Prophet Muhammed (pbuh)
The Quran (the book of Allah) was first written and kept in safe custody in Looh-e-Mehfooz. It was first sent down to Bait-ul-Mamoor by Allah (swt) which is considered to be situated within the first level of heaven (first sky). “It is a Glorious Quran, on a well-preserved tablet".
Surah Al-Buruj 85:21-22
From there, it was revealed to the Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) on earth via the angel Gibraeel. The first revelation took place on Lailat-Ul-Qadr (The night of power) which is widely agreed by many scholars to fall in the month of Ramadhan and in particular the last 10 days of Ramadhan, with most scholars believing that it falls on the 27th night of Ramadhan.
Hazrat Aisha Radi’Allah Anha stated that Rasool-ul-Allah peace be upon him said, "Look for Lailat-Ul-Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadhan." (Bukhari)
First Revelation
The first Wahy (Revelation) of the Quran revealed to the Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) were the following verses:
Read! In the name of your Lord and Cherisher, Who created, created man out of a clot. Read! And your Lord is most bountiful; He who taught (the use of) the pen; taught man that which he knew not".
