What is the reason for the revelation of some surahs of the Holy Quran in Mecca and other surahs in Medina?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The reason some surahs were revealed in Mecca and others in Medina is due to the Prophet's migration (peace and blessings be upon him) from Mecca to Medina, which led to a shift in the place where revelation descended.
