How many chapters, or Makki Surahs, are there in the Qur'an?
The Quran is divided into 114 chapters or Surahs. Of these 114 chapters, 86 are considered Makki (Meccan) Surahs and 28 are considered Madani (Medinian) Surahs. Makki Surahs are those that were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad while he was living in Mecca, before the migration to Medina. These surahs generally focus on the belief in the oneness of God, the coming of a final judgment, and the call to worship God alone.
Makki Surahs are generally shorter than Madani Surahs and they cover a wide range of topics, including monotheism, prophecy, ethics, and the end of the world. Some examples of Makki Surahs are Al-Fatiha, Al-Baqarah, Al-Imran, Al-Nisa, Al-Maida, Al-An'am, Al-Araf, Al-Anfal and many others.
It is important to note that the classification of Makki and Madani surahs is based on the traditional understanding of when the surahs were revealed, but in some cases, the historical background of a surah is not certain and it is not possible to say for certain whether it is Makki or Madani.
