Is there a website that shows Quran in the order that is been revealed instead of by length? I would think it is much better to study in the order it is revealed instead of by length.

Thanks!

I don't know if there is a reference in that order, but the Quran is not arranged in order of length. it is ordered as God instructed Mohammed PBUH

The wisdom behind the revelation and then the compilation of the Glorious Qur'an in a different sequence than its chronological sequence of revelation was because when it was first revealed, it was revealed to one man (The Messenger of Allah), and his main audience were the disbelievers and polytheists of the Quraish. But when the revelations were complete, and an Islamic State had been formed in Medina with a multitude of believers; the Glorious Quran was to be a Book of Guidance for all of mankind, until the end of time! The All Knowing, All Wise Allah has chosen this form of arrangement as the best way for the guidance of all mankind!. Its not the Muhammad but ALLAH who Decides the order

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 4.819 Narrated by Aisha

Once Fatima came walking and her gait resembled the gait of the Prophet(saws) . The Prophet (saws) said, "Welcome, O my daughter!" Then he made her sit on his right or on his left side, and then he told her a secret, and she started weeping. I asked her, "Why are you weeping?" He again told her a secret and she started laughing. I said, "I never saw happiness so near to sadness as I saw today." I asked her what the Prophet (saws) had told her. She said, "I would never disclose the secret of Allah's Apostle (saws) ." When the Prophet (saws) died, I asked her about it. She replied: "The Prophet (saws) said, 'Every year Gabriel used to revise the Qur'an with me once only, but this year he has done so twice. I think this portends my death, and you will be the first of my family to follow me.' So I started weeping. Then he said. 'Don't you like to be the mistress of all the ladies of Paradise or the mistress of all the lady believers? So I laughed for that.' "

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 6.520 Narrated by Abu Huraira

Gabriel used to repeat the recitation of the Qur'an with the Prophet (saws) once a year, but he repeated it twice with him in the year he died.

Thank you! the second link has it. I thought that the chapters are ordered by length guess I was wrong (Got that information from wiki, can't remember now).

The only way to know about the order in which some of the Qur'an was revealed, is by reading the introductions to the chapters, which tell you the timeline for the Surahs' revelations, and the Reasons for the Revelations, like Asbab an-Nuzul and many of the Ahadith which were revealed about it. Furthermore, if you read the biographies of the Holy Prophet (saw), that mentions the revelations of the verses over his (saw)'s lifetime. By far, I have tried looking for some book which goes through the whole of the Qur'an and explains it's verses or at least comments on it from beginning to end by order of the revelations itself. So far, I do not know if such a book exists. Only the commentaries on the Qur'an contain comments on these, but there is no book highlighting this itself, at least in English. And I mean all 6000-something verses. The Sahaba (ra) learned the contexts of revelations for all the verses, since they asked about it as per the traditions handed down to us. However, all of those explanations haven't been preserved, and if they did some of them have conflicting comments. In order to understand those, the explanations of the scholars is required, as they are well aware of the meanings behind the statements better than the layman does. It is surprising what you don't see when reading a tradition over again multiple times, then you see a scholar explaining it in a way which makes perfect sense, and yet you would have never seen it on your own.

The order of the arrangement of the Qur'an, if you are interested, is explained in the book Ulum al Quran, google it.
