This period includes the following suras:
Sura 98: on good and bad Jews and Christians.
Sura 2, the longest in the Koran, is called the "Sura of the Cow" from the red heifer
described in verse 67 as having been sacrificed by the Israelites at the direction of Moses. It is
a collection of passages on various subjects, delivered during the first
two or three years after the Flight. The greater portion relates to the Jews, who are sometimes
exhorted and sometimes reprobated.
Biblical and rabbinical stories abound. This sura contains the order to change the Qibla (or
direction at prayer) a denunciation of the disaffected, citizens of Medina, injunctions to fight,
permission to bear arms in the sacred months and much matter of a legislative character
promulgated on first reaching Medina, with passages of a later date interpolated.

are referred to in terms of hostility. The interview with Christian deputation from Najran (verses
57-63) is of a later date. Passages pertaining to the farewell pilgrimage are introduced with
other (probably) earlier texts on the rites of pilgrimage.

old Meccan style and the Koreish are frequently referred to. In sura 47 war and slaughter are
