The Makkansuras are the chronologically earlier suras of the Qur'an that were revealed at Makka. They are typically shorter, with relatively short ayat, and mostly come near the end of the Qur'an. Most of the suras containing Muqatta'at are Makkan.
Suras of the Qur'an have also been classified, according to their origin, into Makkan and Madinan suras.
A sura is said to be of Madinan origin, when its beginning was revealed in the Madinan phase, even if it has verses from the Makkan period in its text.
Some hold that Sura 1 (al-fatiha) is of Makkan, others that it is of Madinan, origin.
