لباب النقول في أسباب النزول

REASONS AND OCCASIONS OF REVELATION OF THE HOLY QURAN

Without doubt, to know the cause of a thing, the occasion on which an incident has come in a particular way, and the circumstances under which an event has taken place in a certain manner can remove a great deal of ambiguity because of which it is not only difficult to understand this thing, but also it is possible to understand it quite differently from what it really is.

From this point of view, we can perceive the importance of knowing the causes of the revelation of the Qur’anic verses, the occasion on which each one was sent upon

 The Messenger of Allah [peace be upon him], the context in which it should be placed, and the event or incident it was intended to serve.

 In fact, knowing the causes of revelations is sufficient to remove the greater portion of the abstruseness because of which one may possibly be put to confusion as to understanding the Qur’anic verses.

In many cases, the interpretation given to a Qur’anic verse without getting acquainted with the occasion on which it was revealed takes one into a way very far from the real meaning; and since this is not acceptable in the ordinary cases which relate to men, then what about the Qur’an which should be understood just as it is meant by Allah Almighty to be without distortion or deviation?

In this connection, I am very pleased to introduce to the reader one of the most important and the most advantageous books in this field, I mean Kitab Lubab An-Nuqul Fi Asbab An-Nuzul written by ‘Abd-Ar-Rahman Ibn Abu Bakr Jalal Ad-Din As-Suyuti (849-911 A.H. I 1445-1505 A.D.).
