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, these surahs more often deal with details of moral principles, legislation, warfare ( as in Surah 2, al - Baqara ), and principles for constituting and ordering the community. They also refer more often to the community with `` O people ! '' and at times directly address Muhammad or speak of him as `` an agent acting in combination with the divine persona : ' God and his messenger ' ( Q 33 : 22 ). '' The division of surahs into ' Meccan surahs ' and ' Medinan surahs ' is primarily a consequence of stylistic and thematic considerations, which Theodor Noldeke used to develop his famous chronology of the Qur'anic suras. Classification of the surahs into these 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 Characteristics of Medinan surahs Following are some of the stylistic and subject characteristics of Medinan Surahs : Mention of ' Jihad ' and detailing on its rulings. Details of Islamic jurisprudence and legal system as well as laws governing family, money transaction, international law and acts of worship Mention of ' hypocrisy ' and dealing with hypocrites. Any verse that starts with يا أيها للذين آمنوا O you who believe Long verses Easy vocabulary Arguments with the ' people of the Book ' i.e., Jews and Christians. Strong judgement and condemnation of non-muslims. See also Meccan surah List of suras in the Quran References Jump up ^ Voices of Islam : Voices of tradition ( 2007 ) Vincent J.
