Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And what is the meaning of its descent in it? The meaning of its descent in it is that Allah began its revelation in this month, so the first of the Qur'an to be revealed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was in this month, because the first revelation that was revealed to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was the true dream, where he would see things in his sleep and they would come to pass as he saw them, coming like the breaking of the dawn. Six months passed with that, then the revelation of the Qur'an came down to him. When did its beginning occur? If six months had passed since the true dream, and the revelation of the Qur'an was in Ramadan, and six months had passed since the true dream before the revelation of the Qur'an, when was the first beginning of this dream? In Rabi' al-Awwal. For this reason, it was said that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) began to receive revelation when he had completed forty years of age, and he completed forty years in Rabi'. The true dream was the first thing he was initiated with from the revelation, as Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Sahih al-Bukhari 3 So the first descent of the Qur'an was in the month of Ramadan.
