    The Quran was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad between 610 and 632 CE. In the first 3 years after the first revelation, he preached to those close to him. From years 3 to 10 he was commanded to preach openly in Mecca, facing opposition from pagans. In 622 CE he migrated to Medina. Suras revealed in Mecca were short and emphasized monotheism and obeying God. In Medina, longer suras provided social and legal guidance for an Islamic society, including rules for prayer and war. By 632 CE, near Muhammad's death, revelations had almost stopped and the Quran was complete.

    Q1Write an account of the ways in which the Quran was

    revealed to the Prophet (saw) between the years 610 and 632.
    In 610, the holy prophet (saw) was forty years old when the first
    revelation of Sura Al Alaq was brought to him by Jibreel (as) in
    the cave of Hira. For the first three years he preached those who
    were close to him. Khadija (ra), ten blessed companions and
    some other companions became Muslim during this time. After
    three years, he was commanded to preach openly. The pagans of
    Makkah opposed him. This continued for ten years and in 622 he
    migrated to Madina.
    The Suras revealed in Makkah are called Makki Suras. These
    Suras are short. They emphasize on believing in one Allah, not
    worshipping false gods. They also tell the stories of nations which
    were destroyed for their disobedience.
    In 622, the Prophet (saw) migrated to Madina. Hypocrites were
    the people who accepted Islam apparently but in reality, they
    were the enemies of Islam. Pagans of Makkah also wanted to
    eliminate Islam and he was also dealing with the pagans of
    Arabia.
    The Suras revealed in Madina are long. They emphasize on the
    social laws of Islam in order to establish an Islamic society. They
    also talked about worships like prayers. They also gave
    instructions on laws on wars with the pagans and other enemies.
    Three months before the death of the Prophet (saw), revelations
    almost stopped. The Quran was complete. The companions of the
    prophet (saw) remembered the Quran. The prophet (saw) also
    emphasized in writing the Quran. It was dictated by the Prophet
    (saw) himself. The Quran was remembered in the sequence as it
    was directed by the Prophet (saw).
    The time of revelation used to be a tough time for the Prophet
    (sw). The toughest revelations were the ones when the revelation
    would come like a ringing bell. Aisha (ra) says that even in
    winters, the Prophet (sw) used to sweat during receiving
    revelation. However, the revelations were a time of great joy and
    satisfaction for him. They were not like fits or any other sick
    condition.

    The Quran is a material and spiritual guide for


    individuals and the community, symbolizes to
    Muslims the perfect man that shows what it means
    to be a Muslim all classes of people living in any
    place or time and for the whole life of man.
    Everybody, from the president to the man in the
    street, finds the things that are about them in the
    Quran. They take the knowledge and lessons that
    are necessary for peace and tranquility both in the
    world and the hereafter.
