The Difference Between What Was Revealed in Makkah and What Was Revealed in Madinah

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, regarding what was revealed from the Qur'an in Makkah and Madinah, is the majority in Makkah or in Madinah?

Answer:
The general rule is that what is revealed in Makkah concerns matters of creed and tawhid (the oneness of Allah), while what is revealed in Madinah generally concerns commands, prohibitions, and legal rulings. This is because the Shari'ah laws are only commanded after the creed is established and firm. Once the creed is settled, the Shari'ah laws are then commanded, which include acts of worship, legal rulings, and fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) in the religion of Allah. This is the Shari'ah order: to begin first with tawhid and calling to tawhid, singling out Allah for worship. Once the creed is established and settled, then the obligatory and recommended acts are commanded, and the forbidden and disliked acts are prohibited. Yes.
