MCQ Detailed View

Ayahs of Sajdah (verses that require prostration upon recitation) are generally found in Makki Surahs. These Surahs were revealed in Makkah during the early period of Prophet Muhammad’s ﷺ prophethood and focus heavily on faith, the Day of Judgment, and the signs of Allah’s greatness. The Sajdah verses emphasize humility and submission to Allah, prompting the believer to perform a prostration as a sign of reverence.

Makki Surahs contain most of these prostration verses, whereas Madina Surahs, revealed later, mainly deal with laws, social regulations, and community matters. There are some Sajdah verses in Madina Surahs as well, but the majority are found in the Makki chapters of the Quran.
