How much Makki Surahs of the Holy Quran are there?

Out of the 114 Surahs in the Holy Quran, 86 Surahs are Makki Surahs. These were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) before he migrated to Madinah. Makki Surahs are usually short, powerful, and focus on basic beliefs of Islam. They talk about the Oneness of Allah (Tauheed), the Day of Judgment, Prophethood, and good moral behavior. These Surahs were sent at a time when Muslims in Makkah were few in number and facing many difficulties. The message in these Surahs gave them hope, patience, and strength in their faith.

In comparison, the Madni Surahs, which are 28 in number, were revealed after the Prophet (PBUH) moved to Madinah. These Surahs focus more on Islamic rules, community life, and laws. They helped guide the growing Muslim society on how to live, pray, fight for justice, and stay united.
