Is it established that the Qur'an was sent down in one piece to the House of Glory, and then sent down in parts?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Was the Noble Qur'an sent down in one piece to the House of Glory in the lowest heaven on the Night of Decree, and then sent down in parts thereafter according to events?

Answer:
This has been reported, but it is not correct. It is not correct. The sending down of the Qur'an began on the Night of Decree. It began. Then it continued thereafter in parts according to the circumstances, to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). It was not sent down in one piece. And this report is not established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) wrote a treatise on this, in which he refuted al-Suyuti and invalidated this claim. He titled it *Al-Jawab al-Wadhih al-Mustaqim fi Kayfiyyat Nuzul al-Qur'an al-Karim* (The Clear and Straight Answer Regarding the Manner of the Descent of the Noble Qur'an). It is published separately and also published with the fatwas and treatises of the Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him). Yes.
