===According to Time of Revelation=== | |||
Suras of the Qur'an, according to the time of [[revelation]], are divided into two general categories: | |||
# [[Makki]]: According to the most common definition, suras which are revealed before the [[emigration]] of the [[Prophet (s)]] to [[Medina]] (in which ever place it is revealed), are Makki. | |||
# [[Madani]]: Suras which were revealed after the emigration are called Madani.<ref>Zarkashī, ''al-Burhān fī ʿulūm al-Qurʾān'', vol. 1, p. 239.</ref> | |||
There are two other definitions for Makki and Madani suras: | |||
* Suras which were revealed in [[Mecca]] and its outskirts, even after the emigration, are Makki; and suras which were revealed in [[Medina]] and its outskirts, are Madani. | |||
* The suras in which the people of Mecca are addressed are Makki and in which the people of Medina are addressed are Madani.<ref>Zarkashī, ''al-Burhān fī ʿulūm al-Qurʾān'', vol. 1, p. 239; Maʿrifat, ''al-Tamhīd fī ʿulūm al-Qurʾān'', vol. 1, p. 130; Suyūṭī, ''al-Itqān fī ʿulūm al-Qurʾān'', vol. 1, p. 46.</ref> | |||
