This article studies the definitons of "Meccan" and "Medinite" verses, presents the traditional and deductive methods of distingushing them and
gives a short report of the orientalists' research in this case. The importance and benefits of this recognition, and the literal, semantic, and rhetorical
characteristices of each of Meccan and Medinite verses are discussed
