Investigating the Makki verses positioned in the Madani ones and vice versa falls under the concern of this scope subfields as the Qurānic sciences labels them exceptional verses. The Qurān exegetes disagree with each other if the last verse of the Muzammel Chapter, among some other verses, is Makki or Madani. As this verse is among the Makki verses revealed in the beginning of the Prophet’s first revelation, various viewpoints concerning this verse have been proposed in traditional and contemporary exegeses. This paper is to study the pros and cons’ standpoints and to attempt to respond the cons’ arguments arguing that this verse is not Makki.
