(Context)
The subject matter of this Surah is Da'wah. It invites to the truth, gives
warnings to those who reject the truth, and tells us that the appeal to the
truth is within our nature. It tells us also that the Believers receive strength
from Allah (‫)ﷻ‬'s revelation. The revelation gives life to those who were
spiritually and morally dead at one time. Surah contains both good news and
warnings. 5

41. Surah Fussilat (‫)فصلت‬ Structure Reading

 Invitation to the truth of the Qur'an. The Qur'an is a book that
explains everything.
 Allah (‫)ﷻ‬ created the heaven and earth. Warnings to those who
turn away from Allah (‫.)ﷻ‬
 Those who deny Allah (‫,)ﷻ‬ their own body will witness against them.
 The disbelievers’ plan to suppress the message of the Qur'an will
fail. Allah (‫)ﷻ‬ gives strength to the Believers.
 The best people are those who invite to Allah (‫.)ﷻ‬ The effect of the
revelation on the Believers. The signs of Allah (‫.)ﷻ‬
 Allah (‫)ﷻ‬ gives time to people to repent. What good or evil you do
is for and against your own selves. The truth will gradually succeed.

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

 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

And if We had made it a non-Arabic Qur'an, they would have said,
"Why are its verses not explained in detail [in our language]? Is it a
foreign [recitation] and an Arab [messenger]?" Say, "It is, for those who
believe, a guidance and cure." And those who do not believe - in their
ears is deafness, and it is upon them blindness. Those are being called
from a distant place. (SAHIH INTERNATIONAL TRANSLATION)
