Read the Qur'an in the Chronological Order of Revelation in Modern English

Why Chronological Order? For there are No Fighting Verses Until the 87th Surah (Al Baqarah), but in the Traditional Order, Fighting Starts Immediately in the 2nd Surah (Al Baqarah)

But God Sent Down the Qur'an Progressively to Muhammad so that he may Warn Makkah Over a Prolonged Period Before their Severe Punishment

Just as Noah Warned his People Before the Flood, and God Destroyed the People of Lot, Abraham, Hud, Shu'ayb, Moses, and Salih - God Likewise Destroyed the People of Makkah who Evicted and Killed the Believers

So they say, "Our Lord, hasten our share of the punishment for us before the Day of Account." So be patient over what they say.

38th Sad (The Letter "Saad") 38


Because there is a specified term for every nation.  So when their time has come, they will not postpone it an hour, nor will they advance it.  Then do they not give thought?  Muhammad is nothing but a clear warner.  Then do they not think that perhaps their appointed time has come near?

55th Al-An'am (The Cattle) 6


And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers, that indeed, they would be those given victory and that indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome.  So, turn away from them for a time.  And see what will befall them, for soon they are going to see.  Then are they impatient for Our punishment?  But when it descends in their territory, then the dawn of those who were warned will [indeed] be evil.

We have given you a clear conquest, and He promises other victories that you were so far unable to realize which God has already encompassed.  And it is He who withheld their hands from you and your hands from them within Makkah after He caused you to overcome them.

111th Al-Fath (The Victory) 48


This day, those who disbelieve have despaired of defeating your religion; so do not fear them, but fear Me. This day, I have perfected your religion for you and have approved submission to God for you as religion.

112th Al-Ma'idah (The Table Spread) 5


But whenever a surah is sent down, there are those among the hypocrites who say, "Which of you has this increased faith?"  As for those who believed, it has increased them in faith.  But as for those who had disease in their hearts, it has only increased them in evil in addition to their evil.  Do they not see that they are tried once or twice every year but then they do not repent nor do they remember?  And whenever a surah is sent down, they turn away.  God has turned their hearts away because they are a people who do not understand.  For a messenger has certainly come to you from among yourselves.

113th At-Tawbah (The Repentance) 9


When the help of God has come and the conquest, and you see the people entering into the religion of God in multitudes, then exalt God.

God Revealed the Qur'an to Muhammad so that he may Warn the Mother of Cities [Makkah], for they will be Massacred Completely

For theirs was Like the Custom of the People of Pharaoh and 'Aad and Thamud and Noah, God Destroyed them for their Sins

25:37 - 39, Qur'an
The people of Noah - when they denied the messengers, We drowned them, and We made them a sign for mankind.  And We have prepared a painful punishment for the wrongdoers.  And [We destroyed] 'Aad and Thamud and the companions of the well and many generations between them.  And We set forth examples [as warnings] for each, and We destroyed each with [total] destruction.

26:208 - 209, Qur'an
[But] We did not destroy any city except that it had warners as a reminder and We have never been unjust.

42:7, Qur'an
And thus We have revealed an Arabic Qur'an to you [O Muhammad] so that you may warn the Mother of Cities [Makkah] and those around it;

53:56, Qur'an
[For] this [prophet Muhammad] is a warner like the former warners -

73:15 - 16, Qur'an
[For] We have sent a messenger [Muhammad] to you as a witness upon you just as We sent a messenger [Moses] to Pharaoh.  But Pharaoh disobeyed the messenger, so We seized him with a ruinous seizure.

51:59, Qur'an
[And] indeed, there is a portion [of punishment] for those who have wronged [among Makkah] like the portion of their predecessors, so do not let them impatiently urge Me.

7:34, Qur'an
[For] there is an [appointed] term for every nation [to be destroyed]. So when their time has come, they will not postpone it an hour, nor will they advance [it] -

33:61 - 62, Qur'an
[And thus, the people of Makkah will be] accursed wherever they are found, being seized and massacred completely.  [This is the established] way of God with those who passed on before; and you will not find any change in the way of God -

53:50 - 54, Qur'an
[For] He destroyed the first [people of] 'Aad and Thamud - and He did not spare [them] -and the people of Noah before. Indeed, it was they who were [even] more unjust and oppressing. And He hurled down the overturned towns and covered them by that which He covered.

47:13, Qur'an
[So] how many cities were stronger than your city [of Makkah] which drove you out? We destroyed them; and there was no helper for them.

8:54, Qur'an
[For they are] like the custom of the people of Pharaoh and those before them. They denied the signs of their Lord, so We destroyed them for their sins, and We drowned the people of Pharaoh.  And all [of them] were wrongdoers.

We have Certainly Given you Seven of the Often Repeated [Narrations] and the Great Qur'an

We Sent Our Messengers - Noah [1], Hud [2], Salih [3], Abraham [4], Lot [5], Shu'ayb [6], and Moses [7] - then Made them [Seven Often Repeated] Narrations

23:44, Qur'an
We sent Our messengers in succession.  Every time a messenger came to his nation, they denied him, so We made them follow one another [to destruction], and We made them narrations.  So away with a people who do not believe.

11:120, Qur'an
[So] each story We relate to you from the news of the messengers is that by which We make your heart firm.  And the truth and an instruction and a reminder for the believers have come to you in this -

15:87, Qur'an
[For] We have certainly given you seven of the often repeated [narrations] and the great Qur'an.

22:42 - 44, Qur'an
[But] if they deny you [O Muhammad], - so did the people of Noah [1] and 'Aad [2] and Thamud [3] deny [their prophets] before them, and the people of Abraham [4] and the people of Lot [5] and the companions of Midian [6].  And Moses [7] was denied, so I prolonged enjoyment for the disbelievers; then I seized them, and how [terrible] was My reproach.

26:103 - 106, Qur'an
[So] indeed there is a sign in that, but most of them are not believers. And indeed, your Lord - He is the Almighty, the Merciful. The people of Noah [1] denied the messengers, when their brother Noah said to them, "Will you not fear [God]?"

26:121 - 124, Qur'an
Indeed there is a sign in that, but most of them are not believers.  And indeed, your Lord - He is the Almighty, the Merciful.  'Aad [2] denied the messengers, when their brother Hud said to them, "Will you not fear [God]?"

26:139 - 142, Qur'an
[But] they denied him, so We destroyed them. Indeed there is a sign in that, but most of them are not believers.  And indeed, your Lord - He is the Almighty, the Merciful.  Thamud [3] denied the messengers, when their brother Salih said to them, "Will you not fear [God]?"

26:67 - 70, Qur'an
Indeed there is a sign in that, but most of them are not believers.  And indeed, your Lord - He is the Almighty, the Merciful.  And recite the news of Abraham [4] to them, when he said to his father and his people, "What do you serve?"

26:158 - 161, Qur'an
[But they denied him, so] the punishment seized them. Indeed there is a sign in that, but most of them are not believers.  And indeed, your Lord - He is the Almighty, the Merciful. The people of Lot [5] denied the messengers, when their brother Lot said to them, "Will you not fear [God]?"

26:174 - 177, Qur'an
Indeed there is a sign in that, but most of them are not believers.  And indeed, your Lord - He is the Almighty, the Merciful.  The companions of the thicket [6] denied the messengers, when Shu'ayb said to them, "Will you not fear [God]?"

26:8 - 11, Qur'an
Indeed there is a sign in that, but most of them are not believers.  And indeed, your Lord - He is the Almighty, the Merciful.  And when your Lord called Moses [7], [saying], "Go to the wrongdoing people - the people of Pharaoh.  Will they not fear [God]?"

26:190 - 191, Qur'an
Indeed there is a sign in that, but most of them are not believers.  And indeed, your Lord - He is the Almighty, the Merciful.

39:23, Qur'an
[Thus,] God has sent down the best narration: a consistent Book and often repeated.  The skins of those who fear their Lord shiver therefrom; then their skins and their hearts relax at the remembrance of God.  That is the guidance of God by which He guides whomever He wills.  And one whom God leaves astray - there is no guide for him -

12:111, Qur'an
[For] there was certainly a lesson in their stories for those of understanding. The Qur'an was never an invented narration, but a guidance and mercy for a people who believe and a confirmation of what was before it and a detailed explanation of all things.
