3.1 《古兰经》的启示
3.1 Revelation of the Qur‟an
《古兰经》在二十三年间分段降示给先知穆罕默德ﷺ。降示的方式多种多样:有时启示接连而来,有时则间隔很长时间。《古兰经》是逐步降示的,而非一次全部降下,其中的智慧(Hikma)在于安拉在高贵的《古兰经》中所提到的那些道理。
The Qur‟an was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (saw) in parts for a period of twenty-three years. It used to be revealed in various ways. Sometimes the revelation would come in quick succession and other times it would take a long time. The Qur‟an was revealed gradually and not all at once due to wisdom (Hikma) Allah (swt) has mentioned in the noble Qur‟an itself:
“不信者说:‘《古兰经》为何不一次降示给他?’这样(分段降示),是为了借此使你的心坚定。”(《古兰经》25:32)
“And those who disbelieve say: „Why is not the Qur‟an revealed to him all at once?‟ Thus (it is send down in parts), that We may strengthen your heart thereby.” (TMQ Al-Furqan: 32)
“并且,这是一部我们分段降示的《古兰经》,以便你按部分时间向世人宣读它。我们曾逐步降示它。”(TMQ 伊斯拉:106)
“And (it is) a Qur‟an which We have divided (into parts), in order that you might recite it to men at intervals. And We have revealed it by stages.” (TMQ Al-Isra‟: 106)
为了坚定信使的心,也为了使他能够不慌不忙地徐徐诵读给众人听,并且为了依据事件和所提问题而降示经文,《古兰经》分段逐步降示,历时二十三年。
