The Makkan Suwar refer to revelation of the Qur’an that occurred while Muhammad S.A.W was in Makkah. These were the early days of Islam when the Prophet after being called to Prophethood began his mission of Islam.
The Makkan phase of the revelation lasted about 13 years, from the first revelation up to the period of hijra of Muhammad S.A.W from Makkah to Madinah. During this period, Muhammad S.A.W was occupied mainly with invitation of people (the Makkah pagans) to Islam. These were the people whose life and times were characterized by idol worshipping, moral decadence and low moral standards.
Also, the prophet during this period of revelation was playing the role of an announcer of his creator. Announcing the directives of his creator, Allah S.W.T, of a new faith that centres on the worship of the creator and not the created. And also to warn them of consequences of their refusal to heed the call. So, we can say that the period of revelation in Makkah marked the beginning of Islam as a monotheistic religion.
