The main problem addressed in this study arises from the discrepancy between the wording of Qur?anic verses stating that al-Qur?{\=a}n was revealed in the month of Rama{\d d}{\=a}n, on Lailat al-Qadr, or on a blessed night (laylatin mub{\=a}rakah), and the historical fact that its revelation was not sent down to the Prophet Muhammad all at once, but gradually over approximately twenty-three years. This study aims to examine Fakhr al-D{\=i}n al-R{\=a}z{\=i}?s interpretation of verses related to the concept of inz{\=a}l and to describe the dimensions of his interpretation. This research is a qualitative library study employing a descriptive-analytical approach. The primary source of this study is Fakhr al-D{\=i}n al-R{\=a}z{\=i}?s Maf{\=a}t{\=i}{\d h} al-Gayb, especially his interpretations of Q.S. al-Baqarah [2]: 185, Q.S. al-Dukh{\=a}n [44]: 3, and Q.S. al-Qadr [97]: 1, while the secondary data are drawn from classical and contemporary literature relevant to the themes of inz{\=a}l and nuz{\=u}l al-Qur?{\=a}n. The findings show that al-R{\=a}z{\=i} does not limit the concept of inz{\=a}l to a single possible meaning, but presents three interpretive possibilities. First, al-Qur?{\=a}n was revealed in its entirety from al-Lau{\d h} al-Ma{\d h}f{\=u}{\d z} to the lowest heaven, and then conveyed to the Prophet Muhammad gradually. Second, on every Lailat al-Qadr, the portion of al-Qur?{\=a}n needed for one year was sent down to the lowest heaven, and then conveyed to the Prophet gradually. Third, inz{\=a}l is understood as a marker of the beginning of revelation, rather than as a detailed explanation of the stages of al-Qur?{\=a}n?s descent. In presenting these three possibilities, al-R{\=a}z{\=i} constructs his interpretation through four interpretive dimensions, namely the bi al-ma?{\.s}{\=u}r dimension, the linguistic dimension, the rational-argumentative dimension, and the theological dimension. The bi al-ma?{\.s}{\=u}r dimension functions as the initial basis for opening up the meaning of the verse through transmitted reports. The linguistic dimension serves as the basis for directing the meaning of inz{\=a}l through lexical analysis. The rational-argumentative dimension is employed to test, weigh, and strengthen the possible meanings he proposes. Meanwhile, the theological dimension is used to situate inz{\=a}l within the framework of divine wisdom, will, and action.} }
