Change Over Time essay
What is the difference between the Medinan and Meccan Surahs in the Koran? Of the 114 “suras” in the Koran, do the “Medinan” verses follow and nullify several of the “Meccan” former verses as Mohammed taught over the course of fleeing (Hejira) from Mecca to Medina? Describe the causes and effects of the hejira in 622 AD.
The Surahs divide the Qur’an (Koran), the Islamic Holy scripture, into “chapters”. The Surahs are collections of the different sayings spoken by Mohammed. Mohammed uttered these sayings over a period of 22 years from the time of his first revelation in a cave on Mt. Hira in 610 A.D. until his death (632 A.D.). Mohammed himself did not write them down, being illiterate,1 but those that heard him wrote down the sayings on anything available or memorized the sayings. Later, under the Caliphs Abu and Ali, copies of the documents were compiled and written down together. Estimates suggest that two-thirds of the Surahs in the Qur’an Mohammed spoke or repeated while living in Mecca and the other one third while living in Medina (after the flight from Mecca)2. During these 22 years, Mohammed faced some major changes and these were reflected in the Surahs. Other than a general change of length, the Medinan Surahs being more prolonged and extensive than the Meccan ones, the character of the Surahs also changed. To understand this difference it is vital to understand the situation in his life both in Mecca and then in Medina.
Mohammed, member of the wealthy ruling Quarish tribe, grew up in and around Mecca. During this time, Mecca was a center of pagan worship, with the activity revolving around the Kaaba, the main pagan temple, which the Quarish tribe protected. Mohammed started receiving visions and though at first he told nobody outside his immediate family, after his family urged him, he started telling everyone the “Word of the Lord”. The first Meccan Surahs Mohammed "received" told him to tell others of Allah’s message. In these Surahs, he viewed himself as one who should warn the people with a goal similar to that of the prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah3. He warned the Meccan citizens to leave their idols and wickedness behind and to follow the one God. During this time in Arabia, there proved a great deal of Jewish and Nestorian Christian influence and though Mohammed never read the Bible, he heard much about the prophets, Jesus and the history of the Jews. He showed respect to “the people of the Book” and to the Bible in the Meccan Surahs. It is interesting to observe that the most dramatic change between the Meccan and Medinan Surahs is concerning the Muslim relationship to Jews and Christians.
During the years when Mohammed preached in Mecca, he wanted to attract the Jews and Christians of the area to the message he was preaching. He did this by showing the similarities of the other prophets and himself, and praising and showing that the God of Abraham was the God of the Jews, Christians and Muslims. This helped him because, compared to negative reaction of most of the pagan citizens of Mecca when they were told to destroy their sacred idols, the Jews and Christians welcomed the Muslims and some of the so-called “Christians” even converted to Islam and became Mohammed’s closest companions and followers. However, by the time of his flight to Medina, his approach differed and the Medinan Surahs show a different face concerning the Jews and Christians. Predominantly, the Jews and Christians quietly yet firmly rejected his claim of being a prophet4. Additionally the change might have been influenced by a tribe of Jews that refused to help Mohammed when an army from Mecca besieged Medina in an attempt to kill “The Prophet”.
The Medinan Surahs show that though, Mohammed still believed they served the same God, he started pointing out the fundamental differences of the Christian and Jewish beliefs to the God of Allah. For example, read and compare the following three verses:
Surah 29:46 (Meccan) And dispute ye not with the People of the Book… but say, "We believe in the Revelation which has come down to us and in that which came down to you; our God and your God is One; and it is to Him we bow."
Surah 9.30 (Medinan) The Christians say that the Messiah is the Son of God. That is but a saying with their mouth. They only imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. God's curse be upon them! How they are deluded away from the truth!"
Surah 5:73 (Medinan) They are unbelievers who say, "God is the Third of Three...No god is there but One God."
Most of the Medinan Surahs, when speaking of the Jews, speak negatively about them and how they abandoned “The Book” and the ways of the Lord. Numerous passages warn Muslims to avoid them or not associate with them. Though it claims that Allah had chosen Israel5, the Qur’an says that God left them because of their disobedience and now blesses and cares for the Muslims. Even though that was the opinion of Mohammed towards the Jews and Christians, he sanctioned special better treatment towards them than towards other pagan people.
Other than the attitude change towards the “People of the Book”, Mohammed’s visions also altered concerning himself. He starts receiving visions more similar to one like in Surah 33:56 “Allah and His Angels send blessings on the Prophet: O ye who believe! Send ye blessings on him, And salute him With all respect.” Mohammed seems to take on a role of more than just a humble prophet announcing the revelations of Allah to the people. This probably had its origin in his change of position in Medina compared to Mecca. While in Mecca, though part of the ruling tribe, Mohammed was one of the poorest of the tribe and so not considered very special. The Meccan Surahs spoken over that time period reflect him as merely a speaker, prophet and servant of Allah and his Word. When he fled to Medina, he was welcomed by new Muslims living there and many of his followers also came from Mecca. Because it was not a major center of paganism like Mecca, Islamic teaching found a better reception and soon Medina became somewhat Muslim. This elevated Mohammed and he became a prince and ruler in Medina as well as a spokesman for God. Around this time the Surahs contain many more references to him as a more important person, “The Prophet of God”. Also, the number of Muslims started to grow and so most of the Medinan Surahs begin or contain the phrase similar to one of these: Hear ye all true followers of Allah! or Oh ye who believe!
Another very interesting change is that the only title given to Jesus (every prophet was given special titles) in the Koran is Messiah. No reason is given to this title but it only appears in the Medinan Surahs. “The most plausible explanation is that Muhammad was unaware of the title until he moved to Medina and, as his contacts with Christians and Jews increased, so he came to learn of the unique appellation given to Jesus and, being unaware of its meaning but seeing no reason to reject it, simply adopted it himself and included it in the quran QurŸan [Quran] without any further ado.”6 “It was very well known that the Christians worshipped al masih al-Masæø[Messiah]. This name is attested in Arabia before Mohammed's time…”7
Because he now is the leader of the Muslim people instead of just the prophet of Allah, his Surahs become much more detailed in how to conduct oneself and laws to control what the Muslims can and cannot do instead of merely asking them to return to righteousness. As already mentioned, he now considers himself the ruler and leader of Islam. By revelation, Allah now gives permission to Mohammed to take as many wives as he wants and special rules apply to associating with him or his possessions.
Though these differences within Koran cause much debate and Muslims use these different sides to support their own views, for example about Christian-Muslim relations, Mohammed made it very clear that contradictions can occur because God sends down newer revelations which improve or replace the older revelations. Surah 2:106 says: “We do not abrogate a verse or let it be forgotten without bringing a better or similar one. Do you not know that Allah has power over all things?” This is very vital to understand, that even though you can clearly find the differences in the Muslim Holy Book, Mohammed predicted and talked of such possibilities and in the opinion of many Muslims this does not change the sanctity or meaning of the Koran.
Another very vital point to consider is that this essay shows the GENERAL change over time of the Surahs but not all the Surahs follow this pattern. It is noticed that among some of the long Surahs (Medinan), a topic may be mentioned from a Meccan viewpoint and visa versa. For example, one of the Meccan verse speaks of Allah not begetting (a son) (112:3) and a Medinan verse, (Surah 2:62) speaks well of Jews and Christians.
However, though this essay compares the Qur'an and its changes, the Bible very clearly shows that it is the Word of God to man for all generations. Neither God nor His plan for man changes with time. The Holy Book of Islam specifically contridict each other reguarding the nature of Jesus Christ. In the Qur’an, Surah 7:75, it proclaims “Christ, the son of Mary, was no more than a Messenger…”. Conversely, in John 10:30 Jesus says, “I and my Father [God] are One.” And though the Qur’an agrees with the Injil (New Testament) about Jesus being the Word of God7, it doesn’t tell that Jesus is the only way to heaven.8 John 6:47 says “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life.” That is a guarantee spoken by the Almighty God.
Quick Quiz:
1. When were the Medinan Surahs compiled?

Where does God fit into the picture?
.
That’s a difficult one Brookesy and perhaps your sister doesn’t have the answer because what you have said about wars and abuse and all the rest of it applies to us all whether we are Christians or not.
This is my personal opinion you understand. So let’s look at it from a human perspective rather than a religious one because we are all in this together. The first thing is we are all agreed that the things you mention are all wrong, hang on though, I think the things people do to each other are wrong like war and child abuse but I don’t know if we have much control over illness other than leading a healthy lifestyle to try to minimise it?
So, on a minimalist level and leaving God to one side, being a Christian is about healthy living in all its aspects and there is advice on diet, hygiene, our emotional happiness with those around us, and how to have a stable, contented and happy marriage and I think every aspect of our existence is covered.
I have a rule of thumb that if anything I say or do has the POTENTIAL to hurt, offend, or harm someone either physically or emotionally, then I try not to do it. This is far removed from everyday life and the selfish behaviour we see around us which in the worst cases lead to those things you have listed and bringing God back into the picture it must grieve Him immensely. So that leaves the question what is God going to do about it, well if God intervenes like He did in the Old Testament that will only lead to complaints although it seems strange to me that those who complain about Old Testament justice are the first to talk about a “Just and Holy war.”
So my own view is that there are guidelines for us all to follow and really those guidelines could come from society itself, and of course there are always those who will disregard them or make up their own guidelines like the Satanists and others do. All I can say about the Bible is that it shows God’s loving care for all of humankind and it is down to US to follow His teaching, and if people are suffering then that is also taken care of because we are told to care for others, the widows and the fatherless for example and as far as I can see everything has been thought through and every circumstance taken care of, if we are obedient, and therein lays the choice. Our choice.
I am sure God is grieved and I think if we ignore His teaching then we will suffer for it in this life and for those who believe in soul life and the resurrection then there will be the judgement later. There are people who say this life is a testing ground, I’m not sure about that but I do think it gives us the opportunity to glorify God and to bring honour to His name and personally I think this should be the Christian’s hope and aim in life and that requires a steady growth in the Christian faith which is a learning curve like any other.
I hope this answers your question at least in part. Thanks, but basically I think it is down to us in this life and the judgement will come later.
P.S. God only forgives those who repent so what you say about God only forgiving of the bad people around us isn't quite true. He is there for everyone.

Spirit and Truth
.
Into your hands I commit my spirit; redeem me, O Lord, the God of truth. Psa 31:5
Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Jhn 3:5
Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshippers the Father seeks. Jhn 4:23
God is spirit, and his worshippers must worship in spirit and in truth." Jhn 4:24
After he had said this, Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified, "I tell you the truth, one of you is going to betray me." Jhn 13:21
the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be* in you. Jhn 14:17
"When the Counsellor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me. Jhn 15:26
But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. Jhn 16:13
They disagreed among themselves and began to leave after Paul had made this final statement: "The Holy Spirit spoke the truth to your forefathers when he said through Isaiah the prophet: Act 28:25
I speak the truth in Christ-I am not lying, my conscience confirms it in the Holy Spirit-Rom 9:1
And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,Eph 1:13
But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because from the beginning God chose you* to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. 2Th 2:13
We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit* of truth and the spirit of falsehood. 1Jo 4:6
This is the one who came by water and blood-Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. 1Jo 5:6
