Arrangement of the Quran

[sword of tashayyu]

Peace be upon you!

I would like to pose this question to the Quranists in this forum, why wasnt the Mushaf compiled in chronological order?  Does the current arrangement promotes better understanding?

[muslims]

Yes, the chronological order of the revelation is very crucial to our understanding of the Quran.

. . .

Therefore, I would like to ask the same thing . . . why?

and why the free-mind translation is following the man-made order of the Quran ?

The Quran is not a biography of someone or a description of some event.

The arrangement is clearly man-made and Free Mind is following it freely.

Name me one book which isnt arranged chronologically and yet it is crystal clear in its meaning and context?

The Quran is not a biography of someone or a description of some event.

I think it is, the Quran shows us how a man is guided by God to be on the straight path,

and so that he know the priority (the awwaliyah) of the commands

so he that know how to balance (hikmah) the commands of Allah in different kinds of situation

and he is not the first because before him there are Jesus and Moses, and other messengers of Allah, it is all an event. .

[Man of Faith]

Peace,

Can anyone here prove what kind of order the chapters were supposed to be in?

Despite that it does not really matter in what order they are. It does not change anything.

God bless you

[muslims]

People could start to compare the chronological order of the verses and the chronological facts from the Quran

http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Chronological_Order_of_the_Qur'an

However, that is not the real issue. . .

The real issue is why following the man made order of the verses when God sent the revelations chronologically ?

This order is crucial to the understanding of the Quran, it is much equal to the syllabus for the whole programme . . . .

The programme to be on the "straight path". . . and it is part of the understanding of "al-hikmah"

Salaam,

Then it would not be hard for you to show me  clear evidence for this claim, thank you!!!

not sure what you mean, but any mathbook for example is not in a chronological order and yet they are  very clear in their meaning and context.

a man? who?

[muslims]

a man? who?

Is this how you prove your contention?  ie. by diverting from the real issue and using the fallacy of irrelevant conclusion, the ignoratio elenchi.

If we want to decide or discuss who is that man, then start  a new thread with a title "Who is the last Prophet"? . . . .

. . .

What is obvious here is that the chapters in the Quran is not in its original order. . . this is the issue of this thread.

and it is "not hard" for anyone to prove this claim!

Then it would not be hard for you to show me  clear evidence for this claim, thank you!!!

thank you!!!
