Is the Quran organized in any particular order? If so, what is it and is there a purpose behind understanding its organization? How will this impact my recitation of the Quran?
These are some of the questions that our new online course, Heavenly Order, aims to address and clarify.
Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan has spent the last 20 years studying the harmony and organization of the Quran and this course is designed to explain the organization of Allah's words in a way that is easy to understand.

Introduction & Historical Arguments
Books are traditionally organized in a way such that their content is presented
chronologically
with plots building one on top of another. However, the Quran is unlike any other book - its
sequence is not determined by length, subject, nor the order of revelation, but it is that
of a
divine design.
Textual Arguments
The etymological implications of the words "Kitaab" and "Quran" suggest that the
organization
of this Book is of divine origin.
Spiritual Arguments
From the positions of the celestial bodies to the atomic particles, the world around us
is
in perfect harmony. Reflecting on our surroundings can bring us to the conclusion that the
Quran is in heavenly order.
In this live session, Ustadh Nouman reflects on your comments and answers some of your most compelling questions.
It was such a spiritual boost for me to connect. I could see the miraculous nature of the Quran opening up in front of me that I was never able to see before.
These chapters are woven in together to create a flowing pattern, a flowing idea that is Allah teaching us, and telling us how to achieve guidance in this dunya.
