Brief History Of The Compilation Of Quran

During the life of the Prophet  (PBUH) (570-632 CE) •  The Prophet  used to recite the Qur’an before angel Jibreel (Gabriel) once every Ramadan, but he recited it twice (in the same order we have today) in the last Ramadan before his death.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) mentioned the blessing so as to encourage us to eat suhoor.  It was narrated from Jaabir that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever wants to fast, let him eat something for suhoor.” Narrated by Ahmad, 14533; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in  al-Silsilah al-Saheehah , 2309. The command here is in the sense of it being mustahabb, not obligatory, based on the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and his companions observed continual fasts, i.e.,...
