Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: How do we reconcile Allah the Exalted’s saying
Indeed, We sent it down during a blessed nightإِنَّا أَنزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةٍ مُّبَارَكَةٍ
[Ad-Dukhan 44:3]
with His saying “and a Qur'an which We have separated [in distinct revelations]”? Was it sent down all at once or in parts?

Answer:
My brother, the term Qur'an is applied to a part of it just as it is applied to the whole.
We sent the Qur'an down during the Night of Decree.أَنزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ
[Al-Qadr 97:1]
means We began its revelation on the Night of Decree. A single surah is called a Qur'an, and a single word is called a Qur'an. Yes.
