The Revelation of the Quran from "summary" of Stories of the Prophets (Peace be upon them) by Imam Imaduddin Isma’il Ibn Kathir
The Quran is the sacred scripture of Islam, believed by Muslims to be the literal word of God as revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. The revelation of the Quran is a central concept in Islamic belief, as it is seen as the ultimate guidance for all aspects of life. According to Islamic tradition, the Quran was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad over a period of 23 years, beginning in the year 610 CE. The revelation of the Quran began when the Angel Jibreel (Gabriel) appeared to the Prophet Muhammad while he was meditating in a cave outside of Mecca. Jibreel commanded the Prophet to recite the words of God, which became the first verses of the Quran. The Prophet, who was illiterate, repeated the words after Jibreel and thus began the process of revelation that would continue until his death. The Quran was revealed in the Arabic language, and it is believed to be the perfect and unaltered word of God. Muslims believe that the Quran is a miraculous book, containing guidance and wisdom for all aspects of life. It covers a wide range of topics, including theology, morality, law, and guidance for personal conduct. The revelation of the Quran was a transformative event in the life of the Prophet Muhammad. It marked the beginning of his mission as a prophet and the establishment of Islam as a new religious community. The Quran provided the Prophet and his followers with guidance on how to live according to the will of God and how to establish a just and moral society. The Quran is considered by Muslims to be the final and complete revelation of God, superseding all previous scriptures. It is seen as a source of guidance and wisdom for all humanity, and it is recited and studied by Muslims around the world. The revelation of the Quran is a central tenet of Islamic belief, and it is a source of inspiration and guidance for millions of people.
