This is necessary to know at which point in time the various laws were revealed in order to apply them properly . We will see the 3 most important reasons of the distinction.
1. Fiqh ( Islamic Law ) The various laws of Islam were revealed over a period of 23 years. Some laws were revealed bit by bit and others canceled earlier laws ( = Madeenan period ). For example , alcohol was made forbidden in gradual stages. The first law concerning alcohol was simply a warning ( of its dangers) . Allah said : " And , when they ask you about Khamr ( alcohol) and Maysir (gambling) , tell them that they contain benefit for some people , but the sin is greater than the benefit" ( Soorah al Baqarah (2:219)) Then second law which was revealed warned Muslims away from Salaah when they were intoxicated ( drunk). Allah said : " Do not come to Salaah when you are intoxicated , untill you know what you are saying" ( Soorah an-Nisaa (4):43) The third law , however , was a complete prohibition of even coming near from alcohol. He said : " Verily , alcohol, gambling and sacrificial altars are filth , as a result of Shaytaan's work , so stay away from them" ( Soorah al Maa'idah (5):90) If someone was unaware of the order in which these verses were revealed , he or she would completly mistake and think that drinking alcohol is allowed as long as one doesn't get drunk and come to Salaah. Or, it might be thought that benefitting from the sale of alcohol is permitted ,right? 2. Da'wah By understanding the order in which the verses of the Qu'ran were revealed, one can learn the best method of teaching Islaam.For example , the Qu'ran taught the believers not to curse or make fun of the idols of the kuffars in order not to drive them away and that they do not curse Allah out of ignorance , this is the result of kindness and intelligence. Da'wah is a part of logical reasoning, thus , instead , they were told to reason with the disbelievers and show them logically why the worship of idols was incorrect.( This is how we should be with disbielievers of our time , trying to make them reason can lead them to Islaam in order to not scare them.) Allah said : " Are you worshipping besides Allah other gods which cannot benefit you at all nor harm you?" (Soorah al-Anbiyaa (21):66) 3. Seerah Most of the important events in the Prophet's life have been recorded in various verses of the Qu'ran. By knowing the order in which the verses were revealed , and reading by meditation it is possible to piece together a large portion of the bigraphy of the Prophet. Some point to memorize in this 3 last articles : - Putting tawheed into practice is in Salaah ( last 2 words of the Prophet's life was " Salaah Salaah") we can see the whole importance of Salaah ( prayer ) -During the Makkan period , Salaah was the only pillar revealed - Nothing cannot create something , = proof that we're here that this world had an origin - Verses coming down gradually - Madeenan verses help to understand the Seerat ( way) of Prophet , guide us in term of Daw'ah ( tawheed and salah) , teach us the Islamic rules and deal with Jews and Christians. - Major laws revealed in Madeenah ( because in Makkah , they ate pork and drank alcohol already) - Bible changed continuously ( old testament) - Saying the " Holy Qu'ran" comes to imitate the Christian with their " Holy Bible" , it is thus preferable to describe ours as " the Magnificient Qu'ran , Qu'ran al Adhim , Noble Qu'ran) - Sh'ites think that the first thing Allah created was Prophet's light , just to elevate him beyond Humanity : WRONG and BIG MISTAKE from them. As we all know , Allah created first a writting instrument ( qalam , pen) - Prayer can change the Qadr ( destiny ) , also called the 2nd writting ( angel coming in the feotus ) can be changed , but we cannot change Allah first Qadr. - We cannot claim that coming from a rigtheous ancestor make us rigtheous too and coming from a hypocrite ancestor make us automatically like them, like some people claming to come from the dinasty of Prophet Muhammad , peace be upon him) ( Son of the most hypocrite person 'Abdullah was a righteous person during Prophet time )
