  An Index to the Koran
  

Comment about the Koran: The Koran was "revealed" piecemeal and in stages to Muhammad, from the first parts in 610, to his death in 632, according to traditional accounts. After his flight, Hijra, from Mecca to Medina in 622, which marks the year zero in the Islamic calendar, Muhammad became a military and political leader over the first (and perfect) Islamic community, Umma. The revelations changed and became progressively more aggressive, violent and intolerant. The later Medinan verses are generally seen to cancel out (abrogate) the earlier ones from Mecca if there is disagreement between them. The chapters in the Koran are not arranged chronologically, according to the time of revelation. There is general agreement in most cases about which ones are from Medina and which are from the Mecca period, but there might be disagreement about some of the details.
