كَانَ ٱلنَّاسُ أُمَّةࣰ وَ ٰحِدَةࣰ فَبَعَثَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلنَّبِیِّـۧنَ مُبَشِّرِینَ وَمُنذِرِینَ وَأَنزَلَ مَعَهُمُ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ لِیَحۡكُمَ بَیۡنَ ٱلنَّاسِ فِیمَا ٱخۡتَلَفُوا۟ فِیهِۚ وَمَا ٱخۡتَلَفَ فِیهِ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِینَ أُوتُوهُ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَاۤءَتۡهُمُ ٱلۡبَیِّنَـٰتُ بَغۡیَۢا بَیۡنَهُمۡۖ فَهَدَى ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لِمَا ٱخۡتَلَفُوا۟ فِیهِ مِنَ ٱلۡحَقِّ بِإِذۡنِهِۦۗ وَٱللَّهُ یَهۡدِی مَن یَشَاۤءُ إِلَىٰ صِرَ ٰطࣲ مُّسۡتَقِیمٍ All mankind used to be a single Ummah (i.e. on a single faith).

أَمۡ لَمۡ یَعۡرِفُوا۟ رَسُولَهُمۡ فَهُمۡ لَهُۥ مُنكِرُونَ أَمۡ یَقُولُونَ بِهِۦ جِنَّةُۢۚ بَلۡ جَاۤءَهُم بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَأَكۡثَرُهُمۡ لِلۡحَقِّ كَـٰرِهُونَ Did they not recognise their messenger and therefore they denied him? (23:69) Or do they say, “He is suffering from madness?” No, but he has come to them with the truth, but it is the truth that most of them dislike. (23:70) In these two ayahs, Allah Almighty describes the situation in Makkah when the Prophet (peace be upon him) delivered the divine message, but they denied it. Why did this happen? The Prophet (peace......

The Quran was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) over a period of 23 years, from 610 CE to 632 CE. The order in which the verses and chapters appear are not in chronological order.

The classification of surahs as Makki or Madani depends on where the surah was revealed, either in Makkah before the Hijra (the Prophet’s migration to Madinah) or in Madinah......
