Kipindi hiki kinaanza na mwanzo wa utume huko Makkah na kinaishia na Hijrah (uhamiaji) ya Nabii ﷺ kwenda mji wa Madeenah. Wahyi wa kipindi hiki ulihusika zaidi na kujenga msingi wa kiitikadi wa Uislamu, yaani Iymani (imani), ili kuwaandaa waliosilimu mapema kwa kazi ngumu ya kuanzisha kwa vitendo mfumo wa kijamii wa Uislamu. Kwa hiyo, mada kuu zifuatazo za wahyi wa Makkah zote zinaakisi upande mmoja au mwingine wa kanuni zilizobuniwa kujenga imani kwa Mwenyezi Mungu.

This period starts with the beginning of the prophet hood in Makkah and ends with the Prophets Hijrah (migration) to the city of Madeenah. The revelations of this period were mainly concerned with building the ideological foundation of Islaam, Eemaan (faith), in order to prepare the early band of converts for the difficult task of practically establishing the social order of Islaam. Consequently the following basic topics of the Makkan revelations all reflect one aspect. Or another of principles designed to build faith in God.

Watu wengi wa Makka walimwamini Mungu Mkuu aliyejulikana kwa jina "Allaah" tangu zamani za kale kabisa. Hata hivyo, walikuwa wameongeza miungu mingi ambao walishiriki baadhi ya nguvu za Allaah au walitenda kama wapatanishi.

Most of the people of Makkan believed in a Supreme Being known by the name “Allaah” from the most ancient of times. However, they had added a host of gods who shared some of Allaah’s powers or acted as intermediaries.

Kwa hiyo, ufunuo wa Makkah ulibainisha umoja wa pekee wa Allah na kuonyesha kwamba miungu isiyokuwa Allah haina manufaa yoyote.

Accordingly, Makkan revelations declared Allaah’s unique unity and pointed out that gods besides Allaah are no benefit.

Baadhi ya aya za mwanzo ziliwasilisha hoja za kimantiki zinazothibitisha kuwepo kwa Mungu kwa ajili ya wachache wa Makka ambao walikataa kuwepo kwake kwa kweli.

Some of the early verses presented logical arguments proving the existence of God for the few Makkans who actually denied it.

Kwa kuwa hapakuwa na njia yoyote kwa binadamu kujua kuhusu maisha ya akhera, wahyi wa Makka ulieleza kwa undani maajabu yake, siri zake na mambo yake ya kutisha.

Since there was no way for human beings to know about the next life, the Makkan revelations vividly described its wonders, its mysteries and its horrors.

Aya za Makka mara nyingi zilitaja mifano ya kihistoria ya ustaarabu wa zamani ambao uliangamizwa pale ulipokataa wajibu wao kwa Mungu, kama vile 'Aad na Thamoud, ili kuwaonya wale waliokikataa kizazi cha ujumbe wa Uislamu na kuwafundisha waumini kuhusu ukuu wa Allah.

The Makkan verses often mentioned historical examples of earlier civilizations which were destroyed when they denied their obligation to God, like the ‘Aad and the Thamood, in order to warn those who rejected the message of Islaam and to teach the believers about the greatness of Allaah.

Kwa sababu ya uhusiano muhimu kati ya Swalah na Tawhidi, Swalah ilikuwa nguzo pekee nyingine ya Uislamu iliyowekwa kisheria huko Makka, pamoja na tamko la imani (Tawhidi).

Because of the critical relationship between Salaah and Tawheed, Salaah was the only other pillar of Islaam to be legislated in Makkah, besides the declaration of faith (Tawheed).

Ili kuwathibitishia washirikina wa Makka kwamba Qur'ani inatoka kwa Mungu, baadhi ya aya za Makka ziliwapa changamoto Waarabu wailinganishe mtindo wa Qur'ani. 21

In order to prove to the pagan Makkans that the Qur’aan was from God, some of the Makkan verses challenged the Arabs to imitate the style of the Qur’aan. 21

Hijra inaashiria mwanzo wa kipindi hiki, na kifo cha Mtume ﷺ mnamo mwaka 632 CE kinaashiria mwisho wake. Baada ya Mtume ﷺ kuhama kwenda Madina na Uislamu kuenea huko, alichaguliwa kuwa mtawala, na jamii ya Waislamu ikawa dola changa. Hivyo, wahyi ulihusika hasa na kupanga dola ya Kiislamu. Na katika kipindi hiki ndipo sheria nyingi za kijamii na kiuchumi za Sharia zilipoteremshwa.

The Hijrah marks the beginning of this period and the death of the Prophet (s.w.) in 632 CE marks the end. After the Prophet’s migration to Madeenah and the spread of Islaam there, he was appointed as the rular, and the Muslim community became a fledgling state. Thus, revelation was concerned primarily with the organization of the Muslim State. And it was during this period that the majority of the social and economic laws of the Sharee’ah were revealed.

Ufunuo ulioteremshwa katika kipindi hiki pia uliimarisha misingi ya Imani na Tawhidi, iliyowekwa katika kipindi cha Makka. Hata hivyo, mada nyingi za msingi zinazofuata za ufunuo wa Madina zinalenga sheria zinazohitajika kwa maendeleo ya taifa la Kiislamu.

Revelations during this period also strengthened the foundations of Eemaan and Tawheed, which were established during the Makkan period. However, most of the following basic topics of the Madeenan revelations concentrate on the laws necessary for the development of an Islamic nation.

Ilikuwa katika kipindi cha Madina ambapo nguzo tatu za mwisho za Uislamu zilishushwa, pamoja na katazo la vileo, nguruwe, kamari, na adhabu za zinaa; adhabu za mauaji na wizi zikawekwa.

It was during the Madeenan period that the last three pillars of Islaam were revealed, as well as the prohibition of intoxicants, pork, gambling, and the punishments for adultery; murder and theft were fixed.

Wakati wa kipindi cha Makka, Waislamu walikatazwa kuchukua silaha dhidi ya Wakazi wa Makka waliokuwa wakiwadhulumu, ili kuepusha maangamizi yao na kuwafundisha subira. Haki ya kupigana dhidi ya adui pamoja na kanuni za vita ziliteremshwa Madina baada ya idadi ya Waislamu kuongezeka kwa kiasi kikubwa.

During the Makkan period, Muslim were forbidden to take up arms against the Makkans who were oppressing them, in order to avoid their decimation and to develop their patience. The right to fight against the enemy as well as the rules of war was revealed in Madeenah after the numbers of Muslims had dramatically increased.

Huko Madina, Waislamu walikutana na Mayahudi kwa mara ya kwanza, na na Wakristo kwa kiwango kikubwa. Hivyo, idadi ya aya za Madina zilishughulikia maswali yaliyoulizwa na Mayahudi ili kumchanganya Mtume ﷺ na kuidhoofisha Uislamu. Aya hizo pia zilieleza sheria zinazohusu miungano ya kisiasa na Wakristo na Mayahudi, pamoja na sheria zinazoruhusu ndoa nao.

In Madeenah, Muslims came in contact with Jews for the first time and with Christians on a large scale. Thus, a number of Madeenan verses tackled questions, which were raised by the Jews in order to befuddle the Prophet (s.w.) and discredit Islaam. The verses also outlined laws concerning political alliances with Christians and Jews, as well as laws permitting marriage with them.

Kwa mara ya kwanza tangu mwanzo wa ujumbe wa mwisho, watu walianza kuingia katika jumuiya ya Uislamu bila kuamini kweli. Baadhi waliingia Uislamu ili kujaribu kuuharibu kutoka ndani kwa sababu Waislamu walikuwa imara na wao hawakuweza kuwapinga waziwazi, huku wengine wakiingia na kutoka muda mfupi baadaye ili kuutikisa imani ya waumini. Matokeo yake, baadhi ya aya za Madina ziliweka wazi njama zao na kuonya dhidi yake, huku nyingine zikiweka misingi ya sheria zinazohusu wale walioritadi.22

For the first time since the beginning of the final message, people began to enter the fold of Islaam without really believing in it. Some entered Islaam to try to destroy it from within because Muslims were strong and they could not openly oppose them, while others entered and exited shortly thereafter in order to shake the faith of the believers. Consequently, some Madeenan verses exposed their plots and warned against them, while others laid the foundations for the laws concerning apostates.22

Taarifa zilizomo katika Qur'aani, kwa ujumla, zinaweza kugawanywa katika vichwa vitatu kuhusiana na

The body of information contained in the Qur’aan, as a whole, may be grouped under three headings with regards to

nyanja za masomo ambazo zinahusiana nazo:

the fields of study to which they are related:

Kwanza: Taarifa zinazohusu Imani kwa Mungu, Malaika Wake, Vitabu Vyake, Mitume Wake, na mambo ya maisha ya Akhera. Mada hizi zinashughulikiwa ndani ya fani ya elimu inayojulikana kama elimu ya theolojia (‘Ilm al-Kalaam au al-‘Aqeedah).

First: Information related to Belief in God, His angels, His scriptures His prophets, and the affairs of the next life. These topics are covered within the field of study known as theology (‘Ilm al-Kalaam of al-‘Aqeedah)
