First , Middle and Last Revelation of Quran

 First verse revelation of Quran

revelation of quran


According to Islamic tradition, the first verse of the Holy Quran was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) while he was in the cave of Hira, near Mecca, in the year 610 CE. The angel Gabriel appeared to him and commanded him to recite the words "Iqra" which means "Read" or "Recite". The Prophet Muhammad, who was illiterate, responded that he could not read. The angel Gabriel then recited the first verses of Surah Al-Alaq (chapter 96 of the Quran) which are as follows:

"Read in the name of your Lord who created - Created man from a clinging substance. Read, and your Lord is the most Generous - Who taught by the pen - Taught man that which he knew not."

These verses marked the beginning of the revelation of the Holy Quran to the Prophet Muhammad, and they are considered to be the first verses of the Quran.


Middle verse revelation of Quran.

There is some difference of opinion among Islamic scholars and authorities regarding which verse is the exact middle verse of the Holy Quran, due to the fact that the Quran contains a varying number of verses depending on the edition and version.

One opinion is that the middle verse of the Quran is verse number 255 of Surah Al-Baqarah, which is known as Ayatul Kursi or the Verse of the Throne. This verse is a powerful declaration of the greatness and majesty of Allah, and it is often recited for protection and blessings.

Another opinion is that the middle verse of the Quran is verse number 143 of Surah Al-Baqarah, which contains a call to the Muslim community to establish prayer and maintain their faith.

However, it is important to note that both of these opinions are based on human calculations of the middle verse and do not have any special significance or status in Islamic theology or belief. The Quran is a holistic and complete revelation, and every verse is equally important and valuable for Muslims to study and reflect upon.


Last verse revelation of Quran.

The last verse of the Holy Quran, according to Islamic tradition, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) shortly before his passing away, in the year 632 CE, in the city of Medina. The verse is from Surah Al-Maida, chapter 5 of the Quran, and it is verse number 3:

"This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion."

This verse is a declaration that the message of Islam has been completed and perfected, and that Allah (God) has bestowed His blessings and favor upon the believers. It also affirms the finality of the Prophet Muhammad's prophethood and the eternal nature of the Quran as the final and complete revelation of Allah's guidance to humanity.
