The Makki sura are the chronologically earlier suras of the Qur'an that were revealed at Makkah. The other type of sura is the Madinan sura.

Makki sura 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 Makki.

The division of surahs into 'Makki surahs' and 'Medinan surahs' is primarily a consequence of stylistic and thematic considerations. Classification of the surahs into these periods is based upon factors such as the length of the verse and the presence or absence of certain key concepts or word (e.g. al-Rahman as name of God).[1]
