Other Information
In addition to the names and the number of verses in each surah, the Quran also includes information about the revelation (whether it was revealed in Mecca or Medina, for example) and the context in which it was revealed. The surahs are also classified as Makki (revealed in Mecca) or Madani (revealed in Medina) based on the location of their revelation. The Makki surahs tend to focus more on the fundamental beliefs and principles of Islam, while the Madani surahs deal more with practical matters such as legislation and social issues.
Each surah also has a theme or central message that it aims to convey. For example, Surah Al-Fatihah (The Opening) is a prayer to God and serves as an introduction to the rest of the Quran. Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow) contains guidance on a wide range of topics, including the principles of belief, the role of prophets, and laws regarding various aspects of daily life. Surah Al-Kahf (The Cave) tells the story of a group of young believers who flee from persecution and seek refuge in a cave, where they are protected by God.
