Asbab al-Nuzul

Asbab al-Nuzul, meaning "causes of revelation," refers to the specific historical circumstances or events that prompted certain verses of the Quran to be revealed. Understanding these contexts helps interpret the verses more accurately, as many messages were meant to address particular issues faced by early Muslims. It provides insight into the background, making it easier to grasp the intended message and application. This approach ensures a more nuanced understanding of the Quran, emphasizing that some verses are context-specific while others are general guidance.
