Surah 17:106
"(It is) a Qur’ān – We have divided it, so that you may recite it to the people at intervals, and We have sent it down once and for all."
17.106 – a Qur’ān – We have divided it, so that you may recite it to the people at intervals
This verse is important for the Muslim belief that the messenger’s recitations were “sent down” to him in parts over a period of twenty-two years (AD 610–32). On the Quran’s doctrine of scripture, see the discussion at 85.21–22.
