query: how many surahs are revealed in makkah and madinah

pos: Medinan surah Medinan surah The Madaniy Surahs (Surah Madaniyyah) or Madaniy chapters of the Quran are the latest 24 Surahs that, according to Islamic tradition, were revealed at Medina after Muhammad's hijra from Mecca. These surahs were revealed by Allah when the Muslim community was larger and more developed, as opposed to their minority position in Mecca. The Medinan Surahs occur mostly at the beginning and in the middle of the Qur'an (but are said to be the last revealed suras chronologically), and typically have more and longer ayat (verses). Due to the new circumstances of the early Muslim community in Medina,

(Bukhari, Vol.2, Book 24, No. 539) If the number of camels exceeds 120, for each 40 more there is one she-camel two to three years old, and for each 50 additional there is one she-camel three to four years old. According to al-Qaradawi there are no prescribed nisab limits in ahadith for cows: There is no correct saying that provides us with the nisab and rates of zakah on cows as we have seen on camels. This may be because cows were rare in the area of Hijaz (around Makkah and Madinah); it

pos: Medinan surah periods is based upon factors such as the length of the verse and the presence or absence of certain key concepts or word (e.g. "al-Rahman" as name of God). The 30 Surahs of the Medinan period, according to Noldeke (chronologically 91-114): 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 22, 24, 33, 47, 48, 49, 55, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 76, 98, 110 Following are some of the stylistic and subject characteristics of Medinan Surahs: Medinan surah The Madaniy Surahs (Surah Madaniyyah) or Madaniy chapters of the Quran are the latest 24 Surahs that, according to

If this Surah is read together with the two Surahs preceding it, namely Al-Qiyamah and Ad-Dahr, and the two Surahs following it, namely An-Naba and An-Naziat, it becomes obvious that all these Surahs are the Revelations of the same period, and they deal with one and the same theme, which has been impressed on the people of Makkah in different ways. Its theme is to affirm the Resurrection and Hereafter and to warn the people of the consequences which will ultimately follow the denial and the affirmation

Theodor Nöldeke and William Muir alike assign this surah a place among the earliest revelations of the Qurán -George Sale. In accordance with the western exegesis mentioned, the Muslim tafsirs also exert that the contents of this surah show that this is one of the earliest Surahs to be revealed at Makkah. The surahs of the Qur'an are not haphazardly compiled as is generally thought. They have been arranged in a specific order by the Almighty, and like the arrangement of the verses within a surah, the arrangement

This is the last surah in the Quran which discusses the Akhirah (after life), and the surahs after this do not discuss the Akhirah afterlife again. All commentators are agreed that it is a Makki Surah; a study of its subject matter and style shows that this too is one of the earliest Surahs to be revealed at Makkah. In it some of the evils prevalent among the materialistic hoarders of wealth in the pre-Islamic days have been condemned. Every Arab

neg: Ar-Rahman disagreed about whether Ar-Rahman ought to be categorized with suras of the Makkah or Madinah period. Theodor Nöldeke and Carl Ernst have categorized it among the suras of the early Makkah period (in accordance with its short ayah length), but Abdel Haleem has categorized it in his translation as Madinian. According to the traditional Egyptian chronology, Ar-Rahman was the 97th sura revealed. Nöldeke places it earlier, at 43, while Ernst suggests that Sura 55 was the fifth sura revealed. Ar-Rahman is composed entirely in "saj’", the rhymed, accent-based prose characteristic of early Arabic poetry. Owing, perhaps, to the sura’s poetic

The background for the Abdullah Ibn Unais expedition revealed that Sufyan (tribal chief) was on his way to Kill Muslims. Abdullah ibn unais , upon enquiry to this intelligence encountered Sufyan to which he informed him he was. The Muslim migration to Madinah to reach safety from persecution in Makkah, clearly was being followed with tribes being sent to disrupt the Madinan community even after they had emigrated and were forced from their homes in Makkah. The intention of all these expeditions was to stop Muslim trade, Muslims relations with other tribes

neg: Abasa strong as to have stopped their paying visits to him and having dialogues with him off and on. All these arguments indicate that this is one of the very earliest Surahs to be revealed at Makkah. The Shia interpretations are unanimous on the view that the person that frowned away was not Muhammad, but an elite from Banu Umayya. According to them, these verses were descended about the man from Banu Umayya who was sitting with Muhammad. At the same time, Abdullah bin Umm Maktum entered, when the rich man saw the poverty stricken Abdullah he drew himself aside, not

And perhaps the most balanced statement regarding time of revelation of this surah comes from Muhammad Asad (2 July 1900 – 20 February 1992) a Jewish-born Austro-Hungarian journalist, traveler, writer, linguist, thinker, political theorist, diplomat and Islamic scholar: In the chronological order of revelation, this surah most probably occupies the third place. Some authorities – among them Suyuti – incline to the view that it was revealed immediately after the first five verses of surah 96 ("The Germ-Cell"); this, however, is contradicted by some of the best-authenticated traditions, according to which most of

neg: Meccan surah Nöldeke proposed a different chronological order, consisting of 90 surahs, as follows: The First Meccan period refers to the first period in which Muhammad started receiving revelations. The First Meccan surahs are surahs that have been revealed throughout that period. They reflect the public setting in which they seem to have been shared and due to their structure and length, they seem to be presented in a manner that would be very easy to memorize and pass along orally, not to mention that many of the surahs seem to be used during early liturgies. They are relatively shorter than other

That the wealth will buy them protection and sustenance in perpetuity. The second and third verses are implicitly cited as the cause of the increased self-importance, pride and haughtiness of those who mock others. If this Surah is read in the sequence of the Surahs beginning with al-Zalzala, one can fully well understand how the fundamental beliefs of Islam and its teachings were impressed on the peoples minds in the earliest stage in Makkah.

Meccan surahs are typically shorter than Medinan surahs, with relatively short verses ("ayat"), and mostly come near the end of the Qur'an.

The chapters or suras are of unequal length; the shortest chapter ("Al-Kawthar") has only three "ayat" (verses) while the longest ("Al-Baqara") contains 286 verses. Of the 114 chapters in the Quran, 86 are classified as Meccan, while 28 are Medinan . This classification is only approximate in regard to location of revelation; any chapter revealed after migration of Muhammad to Medina ("Hijrah") is termed Medinan and any revealed before that
