10. MAKKAN AND MADEENAN REVELATIONS
The Qur’aan was revealed in sections to Prophet Muhammad from the beginning of his prophethood until shortly before his death. Thus, the Quran came down continuously over a period of twenty-three years.
Many sections of the Qur’aan were generally revealed to solve the problems which existed among the Muslim communities in both Makkah and Madeenah. Since the problems and needs of Makkah were different from those of Madeenah, the revelations of Makkah and Madeenah have special characteristics of their own.
It is important to know the difference between the revelations of Makkah and Madeenah if the Quran itself is to be clearly understood. Because of the great importance of the Qur’aan to Islaam, Muslim scholars from the time of theSahaabah have devoted much time and effort in this area of study.
