220.From this verse we learn a few issues:

1.The slow revelation of the Holy QUR'AAN is for the purpose of man's learning. The Holy Prophet ?  was already fully conversant with all its injunctions, as is seen from "to mankind" The Holy Prophet was the practicer of the Holy QUR'AAN prior to the commencement of his Prophetic. Mission. 

2 method should be emulated in the recitation of the Holy QUR'AAN. Do not invent your own rules of Tajweed. 

3.The Holy QUR'AAN should be recited slowly and with pauses.

4.Just as the rules of recitation of the Holy QUR'AAN have been received from the Holy Prophet ?  similarly its mystical meanings and interpretation would be obtained from him. Interpretation through ones own opinion is totally prohibited. For further investigation of this consult our Tafseer Nacemi and the introduction to JAA-AL-HAQ.

(17:106) We have revealed the Qur’an in parts that you may recite it to people slowly and with deliberation; and (for that reason) We have revealed it gradually[119] (to suit particular occasions).


119. This is an answer to this objection: Why has not Allah sent down His message as a whole? Why is He sending it piecemeal? Has Allah any need to think deliberately what to send down? As the answer to this objection has been given in (Surah An-Nahl, Ayat 101-102) and in the Explanatory Notes 104-106 added to them.

(106) And [it is] a Qur’ān which We have separated [by intervals] that you might recite it to the people over a prolonged period. And We have sent it down progressively.
