Meccan verses being pacific / Medina verses being violent
OP - June 20, 2016, 01:22 PM

On the whole, is this true? That the earlier verses where Muhammad was beset with people who he couldn't fuck with, he encouraged gentleness and 'no compulsion in religion' etc, but in the later verses, where he had power and an army, this completely went out the window and in comes 'if a man changes his deen, kill him'

Of course there may be crossovers - some peaceful verses in Medina, and some violent ones in Mecca

But as a rule, is this true? I have heard a lot of people say that it is who know better than me, but I seem to remember Hassan saying this wasn't the case in one of his videos, so I'm doubtful..

Hey!!

hello Amir of Emirates forgive us for overlooking your doubts...

So do you know which Surahs are from Mecaan and which are Madinan??

here .. read through them http://www.councilofexmuslims.com/index.php?topic=16106.0

incidentally so far I discussed in that folder are all allegedly came from Mecca.. So read Quran and you tell us and welcome the f0rum

with best wishes

Do not let silence become your legacy.. Question everything
I renounced my faith to become a kafir,
the beloved betrayed me and turned in to a Muslim

It's generally true. The earliest surahs are far less political and violent than the last surahs, although it must be said they are just as (if not more) full of hellfire.

I don't think the pacifism breaks down neatly along 'Meccan' and 'Medinan' lines though, and the surahs themselves don't break down neatly into those categories either. They just kind of evolve over time, starting from an apolitical context of pious believers, ending up with full-on jihad by a powerful movement.
