The Urgency of Understanding the First and Last Verses Come Down

Understanding the first and last revelation has very important benefits, namely: First, understand how the Qur'an gets such great attention from those who love it, by really keeping the Qur'an in their hearts by memorizing it and guarding them by really exploring. sciences related to the Qur'an, including the knowledge of the first and last revelations that came down. The friends really live the Qur'an verse by verse, so they know specifically verse by verse, and they also know where the verses came down, they receive the Koran directly _ (face to face) _ from the Prophet verse by verse, so that in a systematic way over time they form aqidah of their faith, their mindset and their actions, the Koran becomes the foundation for the religion of Islam. Al-Qur'an has become an energy that moves them to take part in the history of Islamic da'wah in its development. Al-Qur'an has also been a source of inspiration for their strength and a source of glory. Thus the Al-Qur'an is also safe from all intrigues and schemes intentionally or unintentionally contaminating the authenticity of the Al-Qur'an by changing the sentence, meaning and essence of the Al-Qur'an itself, as is the case with the previous book of Allah. "Indeed, we are the ones who sent down the Qur'an, and surely We (also) are the ones who keep it". (Surah Al-Hijr: 9) Second, knowing the secrets of the process of Islamic legislation from the historical perspective of the main and main source, namely the Al-Qur'an. Because the verses of the Qur'an provide a therapy for human souls with guidance from the guidance of the heavens, so that those who are given the gift of guidance and strive to obtain it, the Qur'an will deliver them with a method that is full of divine wisdom. towards human perfection as servants of Allah and caliph fi Ardh (Insan kamil). Al-Qur'an also fosters human life by applying the process of law and sharia gradually, so that a life is formed that has a life style that is always on the path of truth (on the track). So that a blessed social order was born. "And if the inhabitants of the land have faith and fear, surely We will bestow upon them the blessings of heaven and earth, but they turn out to deny (Our verses), then We torture them according to what they have done". (Surah Al-Araf: 96). Third, understanding the first and last verses that came down can provide a clear picture of how the process of the legal stages applied to the Muslims at that time, if we don't know which verse came down the first and last time, then we will see verses of the Koran are like contradicting verses from one another in a particular theme or life issue. So by knowing the first and last verse came down, we will get a certainty of the heart that the first verse came down in a deadlocked problem, for example in the case of khamar, automatically the first verse regarding khmar has been abolished by the verse that came down after it, as already raised in previous posts. **Various Issues The First Time in Al-Qur'an** The 'scholars discuss about the revelation that first came down regarding specific issues of human life. Among them are: First, the revelations related to food, the first verse that was revealed in Mecca was one verse in Surah Al-An'am verse 145. Say, "I do not find in what was revealed to me, anything that is haraam to eat it for those who wish to eat it, except the flesh of dead animals (carcasses), flowing blood, pork - because they are dirty - or animals that are not slaughtered above ( name) Allah. But whoever is forced not because he wants and does not exceed (the emergency limit) then really, your God is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful ”. Then followed by the letter An-Nahl verses 114-115. Then eat what is clean and good from the sustenance that Allah has given you; and be thankful for Allah's blessings, if you only worship Him. Indeed, Allah only forbids on you carcasses, blood, pork, and (animals) that are slaughtered by (mentioning names) other than Allah, but whoever is forced to (eat them) is not because they want it and do not (also) transgress, then indeed, Allah is Forgiving All-Merciful. Then Surah Al-Baqarah verse 173. "Indeed, He only forbids carcasses, blood, pork, and (meat) of animals that are slaughtered by (mentioning names) other than Allah. But whoever is compelled (to eat it), not because he wants it and does not (also) transgress, there is no sin for him. Indeed, Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful ”. Then as a conclusion comes the letter Al-Maidah verse 3. "It is forbidden for you to (eat) carcasses, blood, pork, and (meat) animals that are slaughtered not in the name of Allah, those who are strangled, those who are beaten, who fall, who are gored, and those that are ravaged by wild animals, except those that you had slaughtered. . And (it is also forbidden) to be slaughtered for idols. And (it is also forbidden) to draw fate with azlam (arrows), (because) it is a wicked act. On this day the disbelievers have given up (overcoming) your religion, so do not fear them, but fear Me. On this day I have perfected your religion for you, and I have filled My favors for you, and I have pleased Islam as your religion. But whoever is forced because of hunger, not because he wants to sin, then indeed, Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful ”. Second, the first revelation related to drinking, the first verse that comes down regarding khamar in Surah Al-Baqarah verse 219. O you who believe! In fact, drinking alcohol, gambling, (sacrificing for) idols, and raffling one's fate with arrows, are evil deeds and include Satan's actions. So stay away from those (actions) so that you are lucky. By drinking and gambling, Satan only intends to cause enmity and hatred among you, and prevent you from remembering Allah and praying, so won't you stop? Ibn Umar commented on the verses relating to this alcoholic drink, He said, "the verses relating to khamar go down three verses gradually, the first verse is Surah Al-Baqarah 219, then they ask again," let us take advantage of it. as Allah says, the prophet was silent, then Surah An-Nisa verse 43 came down, they asked again, "can we drink it outside the time that is approaching prayer?" then the Prophet was silent at a thousand languages, then came the Surah Al-Maidah verses 90-91. Third, the revelation that first came down on the issue of murder in Surah Al-Haj verse 39. "Permitted (to fight) to the people who are being fought, because in fact they are wronged. And really, Allah Almighty help them that ". **Reverence** 1. Mabahis fil 'ulumul Qur'an li syaikh mana'il qathan 2. At-Tibyan fi 'ulumul Qur'an li Shaykh Ali Ash-Shobuni 3. And others
