Abstract
The Holy Quran is a book of guidance, and the condition for benefiting from it is the correct understanding of what God means by the verses. Understanding the verses also requires tools and context that the interpreter needs to get help from to understand the verses. One of those evidences is knowing the time and place of revelation of the verses. Therefore, knowing the time and place of revelation of verses is considered one of the rules of interpretation. This recognition and, consequently, paying attention to the cultural, social, political and geographical conditions governing the Arabian Peninsula in the era of descent is one of the non-verbal context that the commentator should take help from in order to understand the verses in order to have a correct understanding of the verses. This article, which is done in a descriptive-analytical way, is an answer to the question that knowing the time and place of revelation of the verses of the Qur'an, what role does it play in understanding them?
The results of the research show that familiarity with the time and place of revelation in reading the content and understanding the ultimate goals of surahs, knowing the reference of pronouns in verses, knowing the examples of verses, knowing the correct meaning of words, knowing abrogated and abrogated verses, familiarizing with the method of the Quran in gradual education of People of the society, identifying the true narrations of the causes of descent, etc., is considered an efficient tool, and by identifying the correct narrations in this field, it helps the commentator in the way of understanding the verses accurately.
