Explanation About Total number of Ayat (verses) in Al Quran (Click Here)
Scholars have different opinions about the number of the Quranic verses.
But this conflict is just about “numerating” the verses.
Here are some points about the difference:
a) Some scholars numerated the long sentences as 2 or 3 verses, while some others regarded
them as 1 whole verse.
b) Besides, Shafii scholars regarded “Bismillah r- Rahman-ir-Rahim” as a part of each sura and
didn’t numerate them. But the Hanafi scholarsregarded each “Bismillah r- Rahman-ir-Rahim”
as specific verses, so counted them.
c) It’s the same about the hurooful muqattaa (some secret letters which are written in the
beginning of some suras like ”Ya sin, ha mim”.) Some scholars numerated them as specific
verses, while the others not.
The number of the verses according to Scholars:
Ibn-i-Abbas (RA): 6616
Nafi (RA): 6217
Shayba (RA): 6214
Scholars of Egypt (RA): 6226 17
Dr. Jameel G. Jargar
18. Zamahshari (RA) (the genius Eloquence Scholar of the Arabic language and literature): 6666.
Bediuzzaman, mujaddid (the reformer) of the 13 century, also has the opinion of 6666 verses.
Ibn-i Huzeyme (one of the big imams) made the following explanations on “6666” issue while
handling the “Quran’s miracle of number” topic of his book titled “An Nasih wa’l Mansuh”:
1) 1000 verses about Promising (wa’ad)
2) 1000 about Threat (wa’id)
3) 1000 Command (amr) verses
4) 1000 Forbiddance (nahy) verses
5) 1000 Information and Story verses
6) 1000 Warning and Example verses
7) 500 verses about Ruling
8) 100 verses about Invocation and Glorification
9) 66 “nasih and mansuh” ("the Abrogating and Abrogated") verses
Totally there are 6666 verses in the Quran
Consequently, the expression “Quran has 6666 verses.” is based on the mentioned points.
Did you know?
(1000+1000+1000+1000+1000+1000+500+100+66 = 6666)

Explanation About number of Ruku in Al Quran (Click Here)
There are 540 Ruku in Al Quran. (Click Here)
This subdivision is not part of original revelation but adopted later-on to facilitate
completion of Al Quran on the 27th night of Ramadan (i.e. on Laylatul Qadr).
The Ruku of The Holy Quran was not to be found in the time of Nabi Muhammad (,)ﷺ nor
in the time of the Sahaaba (RA). Around 4 AH the Ulema of Bukhara, Russia divided the
entire Quran into 540 Ruku for Taraaweeh purposes.
The Equation is as Follows:
When devising these Ruku the Ulema made sure that Ruku contained Ayat of the
same topic and theme; because the Hafiz goes into Ruku after reciting it in one
Raka'at of Taraaweeh Salaah.
After further study found that Al Quran has Actual 558 Ruku. (Click Here)
(558 Ruku followed in the present discussion)
1 Ruku per Raka'at x 20 Raka'at = 20 Ruku per Night of Ramadan x 27 Nights of Ramadan = 540 Ruku

Dr. Jameel G. Jargar
It has been proposed that yā sīn is the "heart of the Quran".[Ref] The meaning
of “the heart” has been the basis of much scholarly discussion. The eloquence
of this surah is traditionally regarded as representative of the miraculous
nature of the Qur'an.[Ref] It presents the essential themes of the Qur'an, such
as the sovereignty of God, the unlimited power of God as exemplified by His
creations, Paradise, the ultimate punishment of nonbelievers, resurrection, the
struggle of believers against polytheists and nonbelievers, and the reassurance
that the believers are on the right path, among others.[Ref] Yā Sīn presents the
message of the Qur'an in an efficient and powerful manner, with its quick and
rhythmic verses. This surah asserts that Muhammad was not a poet, rather he
was the greatest and the last messenger of Allah to come.
