Revelation of quran
Ramadhan

Question
Why did Allah not reveal Quran as a single whole book rather than in parts.
Answer
Allah speaks about this issue in the Qur'an and see the Tasfeer of As-Sa'di
Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And those who disbelieve say: Why is not the Quran revealed to him all at once? Thus (it is sent down in parts), that We may strengthen your heart thereby. And We have revealed it to you gradually, in stages.” [25:32].
Shaykh ‘Abd ar-Rahman as-S’adi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: That is because every time something of the Quran was revealed to him, it increased him in certainty and steadfastness, especially when there was cause for anxiety. The fact that the Quran was revealed when new developments occurred meant that it had greater impact and was more reassuring to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). And that was more effective than if it had been revealed before that, then was remembered when the new developments occurred.
“And We have revealed it to you gradually, in stages,” means We revealed it slowly and sent it gradually. All of this indicates that Allah was taking care of His Book, the Quran, and His Messenger, Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), as He sent down His Book in accordance with the situations faced by the Messenger and as needed to address unfolding issues.

Hope it's clear brother.
Shukran.
