The Standard of Truth and Falsehood · Verse 32 of 77
وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْآنُ جُمْلَةً وَاحِدَةً ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ لِنُثَبِّتَ بِهِ فُؤَادَكَ ۖ وَرَتَّلْنَاهُ تَرْتِيلًا

Commentary 25:32 This verse points to the gradual revelation of the Holy Qur’ân sent down piecemeal and at intervals (رَتَّلْنَاهُ تَرْتِيلًا). Its arrangement revealed…
وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْآنُ جُمْلَةً وَاحِدَةً ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ لِنُثَبِّتَ بِهِ فُؤَادَكَ ۖ وَرَتَّلْنَاهُ تَرْتِيلًا
25:32 This verse points to the gradual revelation of the Holy Qur’ân sent down piecemeal and at intervals (رَتَّلْنَاهُ تَرْتِيلًا). Its arrangement revealed to the Holy Prophet (pbuh) and was not the work of ‘Uthmân , or any other person (cf. 4:82; 39:23) The Holy Qur’ân is spoken of as fully self-consistent and free from inner contradictions. The piecemeal revelation of the Holy Qur’ân is also in accord with the prophecy of the Bible (Isa. 28:9-10).
