Knowing the causes of revelation can aid us in developing a sound understanding of the Quraan. Knowledge of the causes of revelation as it descended is a must for the person desiring knowledge of the Quraan. Neglect in understanding the causes of revelation as it descended leads a person to misread the intent of the verses of the Quraan.
This book written by the great scholar Imam As-Suyuti (Allaah have mercy on him) explains the authentic reasons for revelation of some of the verse of the Quraan. It is an excellent book to read for both the Common Muslim as well as a Student of Knowledge. It is written in a simple language with many pearls of wisdom.
