Rethinking the Word Faraḍa: An Inquiry to the Earliest Commentaries and Its Contextual Relevance

In some exegetic comments narrated from early scholars do not relevance neither to the Quranic context, nor to lexicographical and linguistic evidences. As a case, such irrelevance can be observed for the verb faraḍa in the verse 24:1, as well as the verse 28:85. Regarding methodology, this research used both traditional lexicographical and linguistic etymological inquiries. The result of the research is the fact that both the verses are speaking of the philosophy of the Quranic surahs being revealed gradually in separate parts appropriate to social occasions and the challenges in prophetic era.
