Question:
The questioner asks, Shaykh, in his second question: Which had more of the Qur'an revealed to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), Makkah or al-Madinah?
Answer:
Al-Madinah had more. What was revealed to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in Makkah concerned the creed, correcting the creed, and forbidding shirk (associating partners with Allah); that is what was mostly revealed to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in Makkah. And what was mostly revealed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in al-Madinah was legislation, clarifying what is lawful and what is forbidden, and what relates to that. Yes.
