After the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and his followers migrated from Makkah to Madinah in 622 CE, the Qur’an’s revelations continued in a new context—where Muslims were establishing a community and a state. These revelations are known as Madani Surahs. Unlike the Makki Surahs, which primarily emphasize faith, worship, and moral guidance, the Madani Surahs provide detailed instructions for social organization, law, and governance, helping the Muslims live in accordance with divine guidance.

The Madani Surahs were revealed over a period of 10 years, from the Prophet’s arrival in Madinah until his passing in 632 CE. These Surahs cover topics such as:

• 
  

  Shariah laws: Rules for prayer, fasting, charity, marriage, inheritance, and penal laws.

  
  


• 
  

  Community relations: Guidelines for dealing with Muslims and non-Muslims, treaties, and disputes.

  
  


• 
  

  Defense and warfare: Instructions on jihad and the ethical treatment of enemies.

  
  


• 
  

  Faith and spirituality: Encouragement to uphold belief in Allah, follow the Prophet (SAW), and maintain moral conduct.
