Da'wah: By understanding the order in which the verses of the Qur'an were revealed, one can learn the best method of teaching Islam. For example, the Qur'an taught the believers not to curse or make fun of the idols of the disbelievers in order not to drive them away and in order that they not curse Allah out of ignorance.
وَلَا تَسُبُّوا الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ فَيَسُبُّوا اللهَ عَدْوا
بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ
"Do not curse what the disbelievers worship besides Allah, lest they curse Allah in enmity and ignorance."
(Surah al-An'am, 6: 108)
Instead, they were told to reason with the disbelievers and show them logically why the worship of idols was incorrect. Allah quoted Prophet Abraham as saying to his people:
أَفَتَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنفَعُكُمْ شَيْئًا وَلَا
يضركم
"Are you worshipping besides Allah other gods which cannot benefit you at all nor harm you?"
(Surah al-Anbiya', 21:66)
The following verse quoting Abraham's declaration of enmity to his people and what they worshipped instead of Allah was revealed in Madīnah, after the Muslims had practised years of patient argument with their relatives in Makkah:
قَدْ كَانَتْ لَكُمْ أَسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ فِي ابْراهِيمَ وَالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ إِذْ قَالُوا في
يقويهم انا بره وا مِنكُمْ وَمِمَّا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ كَفَرْنَا بِكُمْ
وبدا بينا وبنتكم الْمَدَوَةُ وَالْبَغْضَاهُ أَبَدًا حَتَّى تُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ
وحده
"There is an excellent example for you in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people, 'We are clear of you and of whatever you worship besides Allah; we have rejected you, and there has arisen, between us and you, enmity and hatred forever, unless you believe in Allah alone.""
(Surah al-Mumtaḥinah, 60:4)
The disbelievers of Makkah had met reasoned argument with persecution and violence. They had driven the Muslims from their homes, and a state of armed conflict existed between the two sides. It is not, therefore, Sunnah for a person to accept Islam, read this verse and try to apply it on his family and acquaintances.
3. Sirah: The majority of the most important events in the Prophet's life have been recorded in various verses of the Qur'an. Thus, by knowing the order in which the verses were revealed, it is possible to piece together a large portion of the Prophet's () biography.
