5 Context
This Surah emphasize that although all this world is running by specific laws and cause and
effects but Allah(‫)ﷻ‬ is above all these laws and to show this He performs Miracles like the
birth of Yahya (AS) and Isa (AS). Also, Allah(‫)ﷻ‬ can give Miraculous abilities to any one of his
servants as he has given to Isa (AS). Regardless of all Miracles, Isa (AS) was merely a slave of
Allah(‫,)ﷻ‬ and the claim that Isa (AS) is the son of God is strongly rebuffed. Several other
Prophets also mentioned like Ibrahim (AS), Musa (AS), Ismail (AS) and Idris (AS) and lastly Scene
of Hashr/ The Last Day depicted to warn humankind.

15. 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
 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.
15

16. 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
(1000+1000+1000+1000+1000+1000+500+100+66 = 6666)
Consequently, the expression “Quran has 6666 verses.” is based on the mentioned points.
But Today, All Accepting the Opinion of Al Kufa that Al Quran Consist of 6236 verses.
(6236 verses followed in the present discussion )
Total number of verses in Al Quran is 6236 with the “Bismillah r- Rahman-ir-Rahim” not
included except for Surah Al Fatihah.
With “Bismillah r- Rahman-ir-Rahim” included the total number of Quranic Verses are
112 + 6236 = 6348. 16

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
Scholars after the Prophet Muhammad (‫)ﷺ‬ have done additional division of the
Qur’an (i.e. Manzil, Juz and Hizb) for the convenience of reading/memorization
(recitation) of the whole Qur’an mentioned on page no. 8.
