IMPORTANCE OF UNDERSTANDING THE CAUSES OF REVELATION OF QURANIC VERSES

Abstract

When studying the Quranic injunction, we can conclude that there are two basic reasons for these revelations. First, there are those parts of the Quran that are not related to any specific situation or question during the prophet's time. Secondly, there are those parts of the Quran that are related a specific context or a response to specific queries during that era; for instance, offering of nafil prayers next to the Maqam e Ibrahim. An understanding of the specific context of these Quranic revelations and the background of those companions is essential for a thorough understanding of the Quran
