:How many Verses in Quran:

[sachin4islam]

Assalamu Alaikum:

A very straight question,how many verses are there exactly in holy Quran?.

Why I am asking this,InshaAllah,will reveal when this thread receives some posts in form of answers.

Regards.

Asaalaam walaikum,

I asked one I know with knowledge and this is what I got:

It so happens that I wrote a computer program to count the words, among other tasks. The total number of verses in the Quran is 6,236 verses. The total number of words is 77,797 words, 13,483 if you count repeated words once.

The total number of letters is 321,174.

 

[Abu Talib]

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the World; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.

The numbers of the verses of Qur'an are a little more than 6200. All the scholars of Islam are agreed on the number 6200 but they differ regarding the remaining small number.
Some say 4 verses. Others say fourteen. Others say nineteen. Others say twenty-five. Others say thirty-five or thirty-six.
The reason for this disagreement is that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) used to stop after reading the verse as to teach his companions the beginning and end of the verses.
Some of them would consider any stop a beginning of a verse. Others would consider the stop only a breath and would link what preceded it to what follows it.
Another reason for these differences is the lack of agreement on whether the Basmalah (Bismillahi Al-Rahmani Al-Rahim) is a verse of every Surah (chapter) or whether it was put there for its Baraka (blessing). al-Shafia consider it a verse of every Surah. But this is a simple issue as it does not claim adding to the Qur'an or reducing from it.
Allah knows best.
