Qur’an descending to the Prophet

How long did it take for the Qur’an to descend to the Prophet?

The Qur’an was not sent down to the Prophet all at one time; the descent of the Qur’an lasted over a period of twenty-three years. Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, started to receive the Revelation from the very first moment of his prophethood and this continued until shortly before his death; the Revelation was sent down to him day and night, in times of war and peace, at home or abroad.
