The answer

Meccan surahs specialize in establishing creed, calling to monotheism, refuting polytheism, and detailing the stories of the prophets. They are characterized by short verses and powerful language. Scholars have agreed that the first Meccan surah to be revealed was "Recite in the name of your Lord," and the last was "Al-Mutaffifin" or "Al-Ankabut" or "Al-Mu'minun." Their number is 85 surahs.

As for the Medinan surahs, the first to be revealed was "Al-Baqarah," and the last was "Al-Ma'idah." Scholars have agreed that the surahs "Al-Falaq" and "An-Nas" are Medinan. However, precisely determining the order of revelation for each surah is impossible due to the absence of authentic definitive evidence.
