«古兰经» 是逐步地一点一点地启示的, 时间长达二十三年。这个逐步的过程有着双重目的。它有助于信者学习、记忆、吸收, 并有助于信者遵照 «古兰经» 教义塑造他们的人生。这种逐步的过程, 其目的也是为了满足变化着的环境的日益增大的要求, 以及加强穆斯林的信仰和信念, 因为在中间阶段他们就有机会目睹 «古兰经» 较早时候所作的预言的实现。«古兰经» 的逐步启示也实现了以下 «圣经» 上的预言 («以赛亚书» 28:10-13): “他居然还想一课一课、一行一行、一个字一个字的教导我们呢! 假如你们不听我的话, 上帝要打发外国人, 用奇异的语言来教训你们。他给你们安宁和舒适, 你们却拒绝听从他。现在上主要一课一课、一行一行、一个字一个字的教训你们了。” («以赛亚书» 28:10-13)
The Qur’an was revealed gradually and piecemeal. Its revelation spread over a period of 23 years. This gradual process served a double purpose. It helped believers to learn, remember and assimilate it and to mould their lives in accordance with its teachings. The gradual process was also intended to meet the increasing needs of changing circumstances and to strengthen the belief and conviction of Muslims, since, during the interval they had the opportunities to witness fulfilment of prophecies made earlier in the Qur’an. The piecemeal revelation of the Qur’an also fulfilled the following biblical prophecy:
"For, it is precept upon precept; line upon line, here a little and there a little; for, with strange lips and another tongue will he speak to this people" (Isa. 28: 10).
