Summary
Nuzul al-Quran refers to the revelation of the Quran from above to the final Prophet, and the term is used figuratively to show the Quran's exalted status. One purpose of its revelation is for its verses to be reflected upon so that people of sound intellect take heed. The Quran is described as a divine book that is preserved, miraculous, clear and easy, suitable for all times, and the foundation of the religion. Some historians state the event occurred on 17 Ramadan.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
