As time goes on, things progress and advance, and everything comes from God. God opens peoples brains to new things, and this verse stresses the importance of furthering your education. This hadeeth in relation to this ayah was revealed which says: "a person who reads is handsome in the eyes of God." [citation needed]
Al-Maʻārij (Arabic: المعارج, “The Ascending Stairways”) is the seventieth chapter of the Qur'an, with 44 verses ().The Surah takes its name from the word dhil Ma'arij [1] in the third ayah.
The supporting argument of this surah being the second revelation is that Arabs were unaware of angels in the time of Jahiliyyah and news of Muhammad's first revelation made them curious about the sanity of Muhammad, thus to refute this idea God revealed the first seven ayaat of Surah Qalam. [20]
Regarding the timing and contextual background of the revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), it is a "Meccan surah", which means it is believed to have been revealed in Mecca, instead of later in Medina. It was revealed around 2-3 years before Hijrah , in a later stage of Muhammad preaching in Mecca .
Some surahs have fewer than fifty ayah, while others, such as surah 20, "Ta-Ha", have well over 100 verses. [14] These surahs do not necessarily have distinct features, as the surahs of the first and third Meccan periods do, but instead display a blend of features from both earlier and later Meccan surahs.
Al-Ma'idah (Arabic: ٱلْمَائدَة, romanized: al-Māʾidah; lit. 'The Table [Spread with Food]') is the fifth chapter of the Quran, containing 120 verses.. Regarding the timing and contextual background of the revelation, it is a Medinan chapter, which means it is believed to have been revealed in Medina rather than Mecca.
Quran 73 is split between Mecca and Medina, with the majority of its ayat being revealed in Mecca (verses 1-19) and its final verse (verse 20) being revealed in Medina. In his famous “Geschichte des korans”, Theodor Nöldeke places this Sura in the First Meccan Period, with the exceptions of ayat 10, 11 and 20, which were added at a later time.
This ayah could be referring to the lessons of faith and morality and the ease with which they can be gleaned from the Qur'an, as a book. However, it could also be using the word Qur'an (Arabic: قرآن) here to refer to its more literal Arabic meaning—which is “recitation”—rather than referring to the book itself.
