Two events in one… Quran revelation in Ramadan, latter in former

By Adenike Laguda Adelodun

Often time, whenever novice minds come across Islamic knowledge they could barely fathom link to its need, they give the job of experimentation and explanation out to people they consider more profound in that regard.
Nature, of course, would continue to be unfolding for reason beyond human comprehension particularly those that fall within natural existence such one very good reason, Ramadaan, out of all the months in the Islamic calendar, was chosen by Allah to be the month of Fasting, an obligatory placed upon able Muslims.
Just within canopy of the month, miracle beyond doubt of ordinary human unfolded that those in existence about a thousand five hundred years ago testified to, as have recorded in many historian books.
That reason? Why the month was chosen as the period for Muslims to observe fast, is matter hiding in the same month, and could be traced to a night described as Night of Decree (Laylatul-Qadr), the Qur’aan was revealed to mankind.
And Allah, the Most High says: “The month of Ramadhan in which was revealed the Qur’aan, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the Furqaan (criterion) [between right and wrong]. So whoever of you sights [the crescent on the first night of] the month [of Ramadhan], he must fast that month.”[Soorah al-Baqarah, Qur 2 :185

Allah honored this month by revealing the Qur'aan in it and it is because of this that He obligated fasting in it.

About intertwine revelation of Quran in Ramadan, as well as revelation of the Ramadan inside the Glorious Quran wasn’t a coincident but an aim purposefully deliberate; because it was in this same month one of the high ranked angel of Allah. Jibreel (alayhi as-salaam), would come to meet the Prophet (sallalahu alaihe wa-sallam) every night in order to repeat the recitation of the Qur’aan with him.
Thus, the relationship between Ramadaan and the Qur’aan is very close, which is why Muslims worldwide turn to the Qur'aan with a heightened sense of vigor during this month.
The main purpose of the Qur'aan is to be a source of guidance for mankind, leading those who cling to it from darkness into light, from misery to happiness and raising them from lowliness to a lofty station.
However, another important feature of the Qur'aan is that its recitation is in itself a form of 'ibadah' (worship). Infact the Qur'aan is defined as being the (uncreated) word of Allah, sent down to Muhammad (sallalahu alaihe wa-sallam) the recitation of which is a form of worship a unique definition that can be applied to no other book, writing or statement.
