		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.

		This is because a good deal of admonition had already been made in the preceding Suras but in spite of this their obduracy enmity antagonism mischief persecution etc. had rather increased.
