55 The Purpose of Makkan & Madinan Revelations | A Deeper Look: Surah Al-Hadid

In this clip from the Surah Al-Hadid Deeper Look series, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan clarifies the distinct purposes of the Makkan and Madinan Quranic revelations. He explains that the Makkan Quran addresses fundamental existential questions and constructs a comprehensive worldview through stories of previous prophets, reflections and significant events. In contrast, the Madinan Quran is more focused on the implementation of practical laws and social codes, addressing what is right and wrong, halal and haram, and providing detailed rules on marriage, inheritance and other aspects of social life. Ustadh further emphasizes that during the time of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, the Muslim community in Madinah was categorized into three groups: true believers, regular Muslims and hypocrites. This was unlike in Makkah, where the severe persecution by non-believers meant that only true believers remained steadfast. Additionally, Ustadh highlights the divine organization of the Quran, emphasizing that its arrangement is purposefully designed by Allah to guide the believers. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For a more personalized and structured approach to studying the Quran and Arabic, sign up for Bayyinah TV at www.bayyinahtv.com.
