The Al-Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. over the course of 23 years. The first revelation was brought down to him from Allah s.w.t. throught Angel Jibril a.s.
But did you know how the subsequent verses of the Al-Quran were conveyed to Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.?? These are the ways that Allah s.w.t used to reveal the verses to Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.:
1. In the form of Ar-ru'ya ash-shadiqah (true dream) and this is the first way that came down to the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.
2. In the form of whispering by the Angel Jibril a.s. to his soul and heart.
3. Angel Jibril a.s. came in the form of a man, then invite him to speak until he understands well what is said to him. In this case, sometimes the companions see the presence of Angel Jibril a.s..
4. In the form of the ringing of a bell that came to him, followed by the Angel Jibril a.s. who delivered the revelation, vaguely.
5. In the form of Angel Jibril a.s. coming in his original form, seen directly by him, then revealed to some revelation desired by God. Such an event was experienced by him twice as mentioned by Allah in Surah An-Najm.
6. In the form of Revelation revealed by Allah to him, that is, when he was in the sky at the event of Mi'raj when the command of Prayer was required.
7. In the form of Kalamullah (Speech of ALLAH SWT) to him without the mediation of Angels, as Allah spoke to Musa bin Imran, Events like this were also experienced by the prophet Musa and immortalized in the Qur'an.
Such is the opinion of Ibn Qayyim about the way the Qur'an was revealed in times up to 30 juz and 114 letters.
