Sura

Of the 114 surah in the Quran, 86 are classified as Meccan (Arabic: مكي, romanized: makkī), as according to Islamic tradition they were revealed before Muhammad's migration to Medina (hijrah), while 28 are Medinan (Arabic: مدني, romanized: madanī), as they were revealed after. This classification is only approximate in regard to the location of revelation; any surah revealed after the migration is termed Medinan and any revealed before it is termed Meccan, regardless of where the surah was revealed. However, some Meccan suwar contain Medinan verses (verses revealed after the migration) and vice versa. Whether a surah is Medinan or Meccan depends on if the beginning of the surah was revealed before or after the migration.
