Abstract
This research paper explores the narrations of the prophets described in the
Makki and Madani Chapters of the Holy Quran in the perspective of the Holy Prophet’s
Seerah. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) was sent for all mankind till the day of Judgement. His
prophet hood was for everyone. His first addressees were the infidels of the Arabia. Secondly
all humankind of the world was his addressees. The relieved Quran consists of the stories of
the prophets and their nations. These stories are present in the Makki surahs as well as in the
Madani surahs. Therefore, it is obvious that Madani surahs cannot be comprehend without
understanding the Makki surahs. It means that there is deep connection between them which
is the evidence of continuation and link between the Makki and Madani Seerah of the Holy
Prophet. In this context different narration in Makki and Madani surahs are there, for
example, narrations of Adam (A.S) and Devil, Nooh (A.S), Ibrahim (A.S), Maryam (A.S) and
Esa (A.S), Mosa (A.S), the fellows of the Sabt, etc, which shows that these narrations are
described in both type of surahs in a logical and rational way. Also, the lives of the prophets
and the condition of their nations are discussed in the Makki surahs including the conditions
of the opponents and allies of the prophets. That was an evolutionary practice in which the
voice of the holy Prophet spread steadily. After the migration to Madinah, a third group also
came into being along with the Muslims and Non-Muslims, i-e, hypocrites (Munafiqeen) who
were apparently Muslims but in fact infidels. This group along with the Jews and Mushrikeen
were involved in anti-Islamic activities. In Madani surah, the role of Hypocrites, Mushrikeen
and Jews were evidenced which is a continuous evolution of the narrations of the prophets.
Some of Madani surahs are discussed here that clearly describe the above mentioned topic.
The summary is that subjects mentioned in the Makki and Madani surah are mutually
connected and the subjects described in Madani surahs are in fact the complement of the
Makki surahs. Therefore, the matters of Quran should be considered in the context of
continuity without the division of Makki and Madani surahs.
