-It may appear to new eyes that , except for the first [[surah]], [[Al-Fatiha]], the remaining 113 Surahs of [[Qur'an]] are organized by descending length of the surah.
+Except for the first [[surah]], [[Al-Fatiha]], the [[Qur'an]] is organized by descending length of the surah. That is the longest surah is Surah 2 and the shortest is Surah 114.  This organization prevents recovery of any chronology by a simple examination of the text.
-But this can be easily refuted when you see that the longest surah is Surah 2 [[al-Baqarah]] and the shortest is Surah 108 [[Al-Kawthar]] and not 114 [[An-Nas]].
-The order of the Surahs is not chronologic, it is according to Allah's instruction to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) at the end of the revelation of the [[Qur'an]] via Jibreel ( The Angel Gabriel).
