An Saukar da Alkur'ani an yi shi a sassa-sassa ga Annabi Muhammadu ﷺ tun farkon annabcinsa har zuwa 'yan lokaci kafin rasuwarsa. Don haka, Alkur'ani ya ci gaba da sauka tsawon shekara ashirin da uku.

The Qur’aan was revealed in sections to Prophet Muhammad (r) from the beginning of his prophethood until shortly before his death. Thus, the Qur’aan came down continuously over a period of twenty-three years.

Gabaɗaya, sassan Alƙur'ani an saukar da su ne domin warware matsalolin da suke faruwa a cikin al'ummar Musulmi a Makka da Madina. Tun da matsaloli da buƙatun Makka sun bambanta da na Madina, wahayin Makka da na Madina suna da halaye na musamman nasu.

The various sections of the Qur’aan were generally revealed to solve the problems which existed among the Muslim communities in both Makkah and Madeenah. Since the prob-lems and needs of Makkah were different from those of Madeenah, the revelations of Makkah and Madeenah have special characteristics of their own.

Yana da matuƙar muhimmanci a fahimci bambance-bambancen da ke tsakanin wahayin Makkah da na Madina, idan ana son a fahimci Alƙur'ani sosai. Saboda girman muhimmancin Alƙur'ani ga Musulunci, malaman Musulunci tun zamanin sahabbai sun ba da lokaci mai yawa da ƙoƙari sosai a wannan fanni na nazari.

It is very important that the differences between the revelations of Makkah and Madeenah be clearly understood if the Qur’aan itself is to be clearly understood. Because of the great importance of the Qur’aan to Islaam, Islaamic scholars from the time of the sahaabah have devoted much time and effort in this area of study
