driven out the Prophet and yourselves [only] because you believe in Allah, your Lord. If
you have come out for jihad in My cause and seeking means to My approval, [take them
not as friends]. You confide to them affection, but I am most knowing of what you have
concealed and what you have declared. And whoever does it among you has certainly
strayed from the soundness of the way.)

(O you who have believed, when the believing women come to you as emigrants, examine
them. Allah is most knowing as to their faith. And if you know them to be believers, then
do not return them to the disbelievers; they are not lawful [wives] for them, nor are they
lawful [husbands] for them. But give the disbelievers what they have spent. And there is
no blame upon you if you marry them when you have given them their due compensation.
And hold not to marriage bonds with disbelieving women, but ask for what you have spent
and let them ask for what they have spent. That is the judgement of Allah ; He judges
between you. And Allah is Knowing and Wise.)

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 18
19. 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.

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

Hatib sent a secret letter with a woman from the tribe of Quraysh to Meccans to
inform them of the intended attack of Muslims just before the conquest of Mecca
and Prophet by Divine revelation came to know and send Ali bin Abu Talib to get it
back from the woman. When Ali came back, the Prophet asked Hatib what he did.
Hatib replied, `O Prophet of God Do not make a decision about me in haste. As you
know that I do not belong to Quraysh, but I was an ally to them. All the Migrants who
are with you have relatives in Makkah who can take care of and protect their
families. So I wanted to do a favor to Quraysh, so they might not harm my family. I
did not do this out of disbelief or to run away from my religion, nor did I do it to
choose disbelief after Islam. Umar said, `O Prophet of God! Allow me to cut off the
head of this hypocrite. The Prophet said,

He attended Badr. What can I tell you, perhaps God looked at those who
attended Badr and said, “O the people of Badr, do what you like, for I have
forgiven you.
The second part of Surah relates to issues concerning with the emigrants and
especially Muslim Women, who had started emigrating from Mecca to
Madina, after the Treaty of Hudaibiyah, and the problem originated whether
they also were to be returned to the disbelievers, like the Muslim men,
according to the conditions of the Treaty. Further, it has been instructed to
examine and ask the women who accept Islam to pledge that they would
refrain from the major sins. Ref. 1
24. 24
The chapter is also called al-Imtihan ("The Examining"): according
to Al-Qurtubi, this is because the chapter examines the fault of
mankind.
It is also called al-Mawaddah ("The Affection"), because the first
verse includes the phrase "you offer them affection", and the
seventh includes "God will forge affection", and because affection
of the Muslims is one of the themes in the chapter.
