The Last Verse of the Quran Revealed

Scholars differ on which verse was the last to be revealed. The strongest opinions include: 'And fear a Day when you will be returned to Allah. Then every soul will be compensated for what it earned, and they will not be treated unjustly' (2:281), which Ibn Abbas narrated was the final verse. Others hold it was the completion verse (5:3) revealed at Arafat, or the verse on usury (2:278). Regardless of which was chronologically last, the revelation that had continued for 23 years came to its close.
