Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
When was the arrangement of the surahs in the Qur'an made, and did the Companions have a role in this arrangement?
Answer:
Answer: This was during the writing of the Mushaf in the time of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him). They arranged the surahs through their independent legal reasoning (ijtihad). This is the well-known view. Some say that the arrangement of the surahs was based on explicit text, but the majority hold that it was based on the independent legal reasoning (ijtihad) of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them).
