The Qur’an’s chapters reflect Muhammad’s shift from rebel to ruler

Evidence

By his migration from Mecca to Medina, the Prophet was transformed from a rebel to a statesman; at the time of his death the state that he had founded was in the process of becoming an empire. His revelation, the Qur’an, reflects these changes. The earlier chapters, revealed in Mecca, are concerned with moral and religious issues. The later chap­ ters, revealed in Medina, deal with law, taxation, warfare, and other public matters. — Bernard Lewis, From Babel to Dragomans, 1419 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
