The Makkan part of the Noble Quran deals mainly with beliefs like the Creation as in the verse (which means): And a great number of towns (their population) We destroyed (for their crimes). Our torment came upon them (suddenly) by night or while they were taking their midday nap. [Quran 7:4], the Oneness and Uniqueness of Allaah, the Most Exalted, as in the verses (which mean): Say (O Muhammad): He is Allaah, (the) One. Allaah the Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him. [Quran 112], prophethood, as in the verse (which means): It is He (Allaah) who has sent among the unlettered a Messenger (Muhammad) from themselves, reciting to them His verses and purifying them and teaching them the Book [Quran] and wisdom [i.e. the Sunnah or Prophets sayings] — although they were before in clear error —. [Quran 62:2], the revelation, as in the verse (which means): Verily, We have sent it (this Quran) down in the night of Al-Qadr (Decree). [Quran 97:1], angels, as stated in the verse (which means): Whoever is an enemy to Allaah, His Angels, His Messengers, Jibreel (Gabriel) and Meekaa’eel (Michael), then verily, Allaah is an enemy to the disbelievers. [Quran 2: 98], and The Day of Judgement as in verses (which mean): Then (on the Day of Judgement) as for him whose balance (of good deeds) will be heavy. He will live a pleasant life (in Paradise). But as for him whose balance (of good deeds) will be light. He will have his home in a pit (Hell). And what will make you know what it is? (It is) a fiercely blazing Fire! [Quran 101: 6-11] General disobedience of man, and his punishment and reward are frequent themes in the Makkan verses. The creation and development of man in the mothers womb is taken to be a wondrous thing. Madeenan parts, on the other hand, are filled with laws, both universal as well as worldly (marriage, divorce, heritage, blood-money, other transactions, etc). Special emphasis is laid on justice and fairness. Social interaction and ethical rules have been elaborated time and time again. Politics, worship and prayers are also frequently discussed.
