			However, despite their importance for understanding verses' context in mainstream Islam, they are, like all biographical literature on Muhammad, recorded in writing far later than the Quran's origin, making them historically problematic. As Islamic scholar Angelika Neuwirth (who proposes a different chronology based on the Quran's language itself)<ref>Neuwirth, Angelika, and Samuel Wilder, 'Sura Structures and Chronology', ''The Qur'an and Late Antiquity: A Shared Heritage'', Oxford Studies in Late Antiquity (New York, 2019; online edn, Oxford Academic, 21 Mar. 2019), <nowiki>https://doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780199928958.003.0006</nowiki>, accessed 7 June 2024.</ref> notes:

			{{Quote\|Neuwirth, Angelika (2019-02-18T22:58:59.000). The Qur'an and Late Antiquity: A Shared Heritage (Oxford Studies in Late Antiquity) . Oxford University Press. Kindle Locations 544-552.\|Still, questions surrounding the chronology of individual texts have played no insignificant role in the Islamic tradition from the beginning. They were the object of theology and legal science, where the interpretation of Qur’anic citations often requires one to confront the question of when and under what circumstances the texts under scrutiny were proclaimed. Assigning a historic sequence to the individual Qur’an texts, the traditional Islamic sciences distinguish between Meccan and Medinan suras.53 This differentiation does not, however, affect the interpretation in general, but rather remains limited to verses already problematized theologically or in terms of legal specifics. Initiatives toward a chronological ordering of texts have also been developed in the discipline of the determination of the “circumstances of the revelation,” <i>asbāb al-nuzūl</i>; but since this discipline involves the Sira and therefore merges with hagiographic literature, its results cannot be evaluated as historical in strict sense.}}
