Compared to other later surahs, the surahs of the First Meccan Period employ more rhymes despite their shorter length. [11] They rank from being very short, a paragraph of less than five verses (for example surah 97, 103, 105, 108 and 111) to being organized in clusters of two (surahs 81, 91), three (surahs 82, 84, 86, 90, 92) or four verses ...
