Were the remaining surahs of Al-Alaq, Al-Qalam, Al-Muzammil, and Al-Muddathir revealed after the open preaching of the call?
The Quran was revealed in parts according to events and occurrences due to divine wisdom. This is evident in His, the Almighty's, saying: "And [it is] a Quran which We have separated [into parts] that you may recite it to the people over a prolonged period. And We have sent it down progressively." and His, the Almighty's, saying: "Thus [it is] that We may strengthen thereby your heart." A single might have been revealed in parts, with some verses being Makkan and others Madinan. An example of this is Surah Al-An'am. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to instruct the Companions to write down the verses in their designated places within a specific Surah. Surahs Al-Alaq and Al-Muddathir are unanimously Makkan. There is no specific book dedicated to clarifying the time of revelation of every single verse. Understanding the Quran does not depend on knowing such precise details; rather, it suffices to understand the interpretation of the verses, their reasons for revelation, and the order of what has been mentioned from them.
