Q & A

Why is Surah Al-Fatihah placed first in the Quran, despite Surah Al-Alaq being the first revelation?

Surah Al-Fatihah is placed first in the Quran due to its importance in summarizing the core themes of the Quran, such as the oneness of God, guidance, and mercy. It holds a unique position in Islamic prayer, as it is recited in every unit of prayer (Salah), making it central to a Muslim's daily worship.

What significant event occurred when Prophet Muhammad received the first revelation?

The first revelation took place when Prophet Muhammad was in the cave of Hira, on Jabal Nur. He was shivering with cold when the angel Jibril (Gabriel) appeared and instructed him to 'Read' (Iqra), marking the beginning of his prophethood.

What was the first message given to Prophet Muhammad in the Quran?

The first message given to Prophet Muhammad was the command to 'Read' (Iqra) in Surah Al-Alaq, which marked the start of his prophethood. This command emphasized the importance of knowledge and the message of Islam.

How did Prophet Muhammad initially communicate the message of Islam to his people?

Prophet Muhammad communicated the message of Islam to his people by first calling on his close relatives and community members, gathering them on the hill of Jabal Safa. He warned them about an impending threat and invited them to embrace the message of Islam, but faced rejection from figures like Abu Lahab.

What was the significance of the Quran's revelation during Prophet Muhammad's lifetime?

The Quran was revealed over a period of 22 years, starting with the command to 'Read' and ending shortly before Prophet Muhammad's death. The revelations were given in various situations and were sometimes random, but were eventually compiled into the structured Quran we have today.

Why is the Quran described as having been revealed in a seemingly 'random' order?

The Quran was revealed in a non-chronological order, responding to specific events and questions that arose in the life of Prophet Muhammad and his followers. Despite the seemingly random order, the revelations were eventually arranged in a way that makes sense from both a thematic and historical perspective.

How did the Quran come to be compiled after the death of Prophet Muhammad?

After the death of Prophet Muhammad, the Quran was compiled into a single book. This process was initiated by Abu Bakr and later completed during the caliphate of Uthman. The Quran had been memorized and written down by the companions, and it was compiled to preserve the text after many of the memorizers were martyred.

What role did the 'mutawatir' system play in preserving the Quran?

The mutawatir system refers to the oral transmission of the Quran by a large group of people, ensuring the authenticity and consistency of the text. The Quran was preserved through the memorization of many companions, with the same text being transmitted by numerous people to avoid errors or alterations.

Why did Abu Bakr initially hesitate to compile the Quran into a book?

Abu Bakr initially hesitated to compile the Quran because there was no direct instruction from Prophet Muhammad to do so. He feared that compiling the Quran might be seen as innovation (bid'ah), but after seeing the need due to the deaths of many Quran memorizers, he was convinced to proceed.

What lesson can be learned from the compilation of the Quran under Abu Bakr's leadership?

The lesson from the compilation of the Quran is the importance of preserving sacred knowledge, especially in times of crisis. The decision to compile the Quran ensured that the message of Islam would be safeguarded for future generations, demonstrating adaptability in preserving faith.
