Has Anyone Organized Quran Chronologically?
Moderators, I cannot seem to find Quran verses organized by the time-line of events described in Quran. Please refer me to an English translation, if such exists.
I do not think any such orgnizational system exists. It is because Quran is in its final sequence, given by God himself, and Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) was commanded by God to follow that final recitation. Therefore, initial revelation of Quran is now abrogated and Muslims never recited that after final recitation ( famoulsy known as Arza-e-Akhira ). What we find in different variant readings of Quran are some remnants of that initial revelation. Therefore, any such attempt to organize Quran chronologically would go against explicit command of God. Probably that’s the reason no such attempts were ever made. Quran Says: لَا تُحَرِّکۡ بِہٖ لِسَانَکَ لِتَعۡجَلَ بِہٖ. اِنَّ عَلَیۡنَا جَمۡعَہٗ وَ قُرۡاٰنَہٗ . فَاِذَا قَرَاۡنٰہُ فَاتَّبِعۡ [To acquire] this [Quran] swiftly [O Prophet!] do not move your tongue hastily over it. [It will be revealed like this. Rest assured] its collection and recital is Our responsibility. So when We have recited it [at that time], follow this recital .
