The Qur'an is divided into 114 chapters (surahs), ordered roughly from longest to shortest rather than chronologically — 86 revealed at Mecca and 28 at Medina. Each card gives the surah's main message; search matches names and themes, and the legend filters by place of revelation. For how the text was revealed, collected and standardized, see the Qur'an — corpus and transmission.
