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.

for the convenience of reading/memorization (recitation)
of the whole Qur’an mentioned on page no. 8.

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

Sahih Al-Bukhari: 5027, In-book reference: Book 66, Hadith 49 USC-MSA web (English) reference: Vol. 6, Book 61, Hadith 545 (deprecated numbering scheme)
Ref.: 1
The Prophet had a dream that he was in Mecca and performed the Umrah. Prophet
considered it a sort of Divine inspiration as was also confirmed later by verse 27 of this Surah.
Prophet decided to go to Mecca although it looked impossible as there had been many battles
between Meccans and Muslims since last 6 years and Meccans banned them from visiting
Kaaba. However, Prophet with almost 1400 companions left Madina. These months of Zil
Qadah and Zil Hajj were considered as sacred, and not only war is prohibited during these
days, but also even an enemy could not attack or stop its enemy from doing the pilgrimage.
Quraysh thus were in a confusion as if they Allow Muhammad then in all Arab they could lose
their image as tribes around might think that they got afraid of Muhammad and if they stop
them then it would be against the centuries-old custom of Arabia. But after all, they decided
to stop the caravan of Muslims outside Mecca. Hearing the news of an army from Mecca
prophet changed his route and reached Hudaibiyah on the boundary of the Sacred region of
Mecca.

Ref.: 1
Quraysh sent Urwah bin Masud to negotiate with Prophet but Prophet gave the
simple answer that they had the intention of performing the religious duty of
pilgrimage and nothing else. When Urwah came back, he told Quraysh that he had
seen such a reverence of Muhammad’s followers towards him that he never saw in
the courts of kings of Persia and Abbasiniya. His followers even not let the water of
his ablution fall on the ground but take it in their hands and rub on their faces and
bodies. It would be best if you think twice before dealing with Muhammad now.

24
Dua

Ref.: 1
Quraysh tried to provoke Muslims by sudden attacks so that they can blame them of fighting, but all their plans
failed. Then Prophet sent Usman bin Affan as his messenger to Mecca to convey directly to the chiefs of Mecca
about their intention and that they have come with the sacrificial animals only for the sake of visiting Kaaba.
Quraysh withheld Usman and rumor spread that Usman had been killed. Now killing a messenger was a great
crime and there was such a wave of anger in Muslims that Prophet decided to enter Mecca and before that took
an oath of death from all companions that they would fight till their death. This oath is known as the pledge of
Ridwan. Muslims were just 1400 in number, outside their home city and almost without weapons but even then
all companions gave their oath. Later Usman’s death rumors proved false, and he came back along with Suhail Bin
Amr from Mecca to negotiate with Muslims. After long talks, the following contract negotiated:
1. There would be no war between the two parties for the coming 10 years
2. All Arabs would have the choice of going with either of the two parties
3. During these 10 years if anyone from Meccan’s side accept Islam without consent of his elders and try to go to
Madina, Muslims would return that person but if someone came from Madina than he would not be returned
4. Muslims would go back this year and next year they would come for Umrah only with a sword in sheaths and
no other weapon and can stay for three days.

25
Dua
Ameen
Ref.: 1
Muslims were not happy on all this and thought it as humiliating so much so that Umar bin
Khattab started doubting and asked Abu Bakr Is Muhammad not God’s Messenger, and are
they not polytheists? Then, why should we agree to what is humiliating to our Faith? Muslims,
in general, were disturbed especially on the condition of returning Muslim fellow to Meccan’s
and the other one of returning back without Umrah as they were also thinking that Prophet
had a dream from God and in that case, it would become wrong if they return back without
performing. Prophet told them that in his dream, he only saw that he was performing Tawaf of
Kaaba and had not been shown the time or year of this event.

26
Dua
Ameen
Ref.: 1
The Prophet asked the companions to slaughter their animals, shave their heads, and put off the Ahrams. But no
one moved. Prophet felt much grieved as up till this time it never happened that he said something and should
not be done immediately by the companions. Seeing his grief Prophet’s wife, Umm Salmah told him that he
should go and slaughter his own animal and ask the barber to shave his head, seeing this people would have no
way to do the same and they been confirmed that your decision would not be changed. The same thing
happened. On the way back to Madina all were depressed and lowly until when they reached Dajnan or Kura al
Ghamin, this Surah came down. This Surah clearly told them that this treaty was not a defeat but a great victory
and soon after that everyone realized in coming days when its benefits began to appear. First of which was that
they got a relief from war, and now they could entirely focus on the propagation of Islam. Before that Prophet and
his followers were considered as rebels but this treaty itself showing that Meccans accepted them as a separate
state and not only this the condition of allowing Muslims to visit Kaaba shows that they were also accepted as an
admitted religion of Arabia. They also got time to establish themselves in the area and to crush the other
opponents in the area and just three months after Hudaibiyah, Khaiber, the principal fort of the Jews, was
conquered and after it the Jewish regions of Fadak, Wad-il Qura, Taima and Tabuk also came to Muslims one after
the other. Thus, within two years after Hudaibiyah, the balance of power in Arab was so changed that the power
of the Quraysh and pagans gave way, and the domination of Islam became evident.
