Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: How do we reconcile Allah the Exalted’s saying[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.[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.
