JazakAllahuKhair for the inputs.

I now wish to know if the aayats of any surah were revealed in the same order as it is preserved today.

To be precise what I wish to know is... Pseudo example: Can Surah Bakarah have the first 10 aayat revealed after the last 10 aayats of that Surah yet when compiled they stand visa-versa ?

I am not talking about different Surahs but I am asking about different Aayats within a Surah?

This is absolutely possible in the Qur'aan that a later revealed verse is compiled in such a way that it is placed earlier than verses that were revealed before it. As soon as a verse, Surah or a set of aayaat were revealed the Prophet

would instruct one of his scribes and say, "Place this verse (or these verses) in the surah where such and such is mentioned" (Sunan at Tirmidhi no 3086).

Also Hadhrat Abdullah Ibn Abbas states that the last verse that was revealed to Rasulullah

was "wattaqoo yawman turjaoona feehi ilal allah" and Ibn Abbas

said regarding this, "This was the last verse revealed to the Prophet. The Archangel Jibraaeel descended on him and instructed him to place it after verse 280 of Surah al Baqarah (al Intisar of Imam Baqillaanee)."

This is a clear example of what you had asked above.

Brother for a detailed reading of this please consult The History of the Qur'aanic Text by M M Al-Azami under Chapter 3, The Arrangement of The Qur'aan. It is available as a free PDF download on the internet as well. This is one of the best books in English detailing the preservation, compilationa and arrangement of the Quraan.

Hope this has helped.
