Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This man resides in Riyadh and has several questions. He says: Shaykh, did the Qur'an descend as a single unit or in parts at different times?

Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:
And We have spaced it distinctly.وَرَتَّلْنَاهُ تَرْتِيلًا
[Al-Furqan 25:32]
This means it descended in parts upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) over the course of twenty-three years, the duration of the Muhammadan message, and it was revealed in portions according to events and circumstances. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
