The Madinah revelation (Suwar)

This period lasted about ten years, from hijra to the death of the Prophet. The foundation of Islam was laid in Makkah which resulted in the formation of a muslim community (Ummah) in Madinah.

The Madinah Suwar were addressed to four groups of people unlike those of Makkah that were specifically addressed to the Quraish and other tribes. The four were:


• The Muhajirun, who migrated with the Prophet from Makkah to Madinah.
• The Ansar, indigenes of from Madinah who helped the Muhajirun.
• The Munafiqun who are from Madinah and pretended to support the Muslims.
• The Ahl al-Kitab, i.e. Jews and Christians with their respective scriptures.

Thus, the Madinah Suwar were received by more than one homogenous group unlike the Makkans.
