Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

THE CORAN IS CONSTITUED WITH HOWMANY LETTERS AND AYAATS, HOWMANY SURAATS ARTE FROM MADINA AND HOWMANY ARE FROM MAKKA?

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:

How many verses in Quran

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Although it would be possible for one to count how many letters are in the Glorious Quran, we honestly do not have that knowledge or the exact number.

To the best of our calculations the Glorious Quran consists of 6,220 Aayahs; and of the total 114 Surahs, 28 are considered to be revealed after the Prophet’s migration to Madinah and 86 were revealed in Makkah.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
