The chronological order of suras (i.e., the order in which quran suras are revealed to the holy prophet) is specified in several reliable sources from both Sunni and Shia scholars, most of which are based on the narrations received from the great prophet's companion, Ibn Abbas.

The traditional order of revelation is provided in the table below. The detailed information is extracted from “The History of the Quran” by Allamah Abu Abd Allah al-Zanjani <ref>The History of the Quran by Abu Abd Allah al-Zanjani (pdf book, English translation).</ref><ref>Chronological Order of Quranic Surahs, rendered by Kevin P. Edgecomb.</ref>. Professor Noldeke in his famous work “Geschichte des Korans”<ref>Geschichte des Korans by Theodor Noldeke (pdf book, Arabic translation).</ref> has provided an ordering which is slightly different from the traditional order in the following two items:

:* Sura 110 (An-Nasr) is the last in the traditional order, but Noldeke has placed it between 59 and 24. :* Sura 62 (Al-Jumu'a) is after 64 and 61 in the traditional order, but Noldeke has placed it before 64 and 61.

Note that the order of a sura is specified based on the revelation of the first ayas of the sura, not the revelation of the whole sura.
