Give reasons why the nature of the Quran changed from short to long verses when it was revealed in Madina (10 mks)

The nature of Quran changed from short to long verses.

Madina Surahs were addressing larger communities than the Makkan Surah.
They went addressing a more enlightened community.
It dealt with social matters such as marriage, divorce, social relationship which needed further elaborating whereas Makkah Surah mainly dealt with attributes of Allah.
Madina Surahs dealt with faith on an international level whereas the Makkan Surahs all addressing to smaller community.
Madinah Surah dealt with governance of a state which need explanation, but when the Makkan Surah were revealed the city had not grown to a state.
Madinah Surahs discuss regulations about wars, distribution of booty, treatment of prisoners of war while in Makkan Surah there were no wars and therefore no injunctions arrest.
Madinah were pious people unlike Makkan who needed explanation on how to deal with hypocrites and enemies of Islam.
Madina and Surahs gives explanations on commercial matters while Makkan Surah mention commercial activities.

Describe the language of Quran. (10 mk)

The language of Quran.

The language of Quran is rhythmic and harmonious.
It combines both poetry and prose
Some are precise and to the point while others are much phonical.
Verses that express the wreath of God are fiery while those that express the mercy of God are in soft language.
It contains vocabulary that is difficult to understand and liable to several interpretations.
Allah speaks in the Quran as person singular, first person plural and third person singular.
There are some words where the meaning is known to Allah alone.
It is common for one verse to deal with several issues.
Each Surah is given a title based on incident appearing.
