Dealing With Problems as They Arose by segmented revelation of Quran: Often the verses of the Qur’an would be revealed to deal specifically with problems which faced the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and his companions. Sometimes people would ask the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) questions about which he had no knowledge, and Allah would reveal the answer. For example, it was reported that the story about Thul-Qarnayn was revealed because the Jews asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about him, as a test of his prophethood. Allah revealed: “And they ask you about Thul-Qarnayn. Tell them, ‘I will read to you a report.’ ” Soorah al-Kahf (18):83. See Tafseer Ibn Katheer , vol. 3, p. 106
