    Grade 6 Islamiat: The Qur’an

    There are two important stages in the history of the Qur’an – its revelation and
    compilation.

    Key Words
    revelation - When a human being receives knowledge from a divine source.
    compilation -The way the Qur’an was made into a book.

    The revelation of the Qur’an:

    • Parts of the Qur’an were first revealed to Prophet


    Muhammad (PBUH) in 610CE in a cave near Makkah. As it
    is the revealed word of God, Muhammad (PBUH) had no role
    in writing the Qur’an.

    • The revelation was brought to Muhammad (PBUH) by the


    angel Jibril. Muhammad (PBUH) could not read and was
    instead asked to recite (to repeat) the words of Allah.

    • Muhammad (PBUH) received the rest of the Qur’an in further revelations over the next 23 years.

    The compilation of the Qur’an:

    • In the years after Muhammad’s (PBUH) death, the Qur’an was mainly preserved orally by people
    who had memorised it in its entirety.

    • It was eventually compiled as a book on the orders of Caliph Uthman. All further copies were
    made from this version. Muslims believed this prevented the Qur’an being lost or altered in the
    way previous scriptures had been.

    This importance of the Qur’an:

    • As it is the words of Allah, the Qur’an is the most important thing a Muslim can own.

    • It provides them with a guide for how to live their lives.

    • Muslims treat the Qur’an with respect. This includes keeping it in a high place and wrapping it
    in silk when it is not in use.

    Revelation in Scripture HW Practice!


    ‘Recite in the name of your Lord.’ Explain two beliefs about holy
    (Qur’an 96: 1) books in Islam.
    This shows that the Prophet is simply repeating (4 marks)
    the words of Allah.
