The Quran’s compilation involved both a chronological (نزولی) and the current (مصحف) arrangement. The earliest verses revealed were from Surah Al-Alaq, followed by Surah Al-Qalam, parts of Surah Al-Muzzammil, Surah Al-Mudaththir, and then Surah Al-Fatiha. The current arrangement begins with Surah Al-Fatiha, followed by Surah Al-Baqarah, revealed in Medina. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) guided the scribes in arranging the verses as they were revealed, ensuring the final compilation was also divinely guided. This process of arrangement and compilation was a divine act, directed by God through His Messenger.
