Explanation

Makki Surahs, revealed before the migration to Madinah, generally have shorter verses, powerful rhetoric, and strongly emphasize the Oneness of God (Tawhid), prophecy, the Day of Judgment, and moral principles. Madani Surahs, revealed after the migration, tend to be longer, with more detailed laws and regulations for the Muslim community.
