Bismillah hir rahmaan nir raheem Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu I wrote in earlier message that 113 bismillah are not counted as verses ......... My mistake was ,instead of writing 113 ,i should have written 112 bismillah are not counted as verses because Bismillah of Surah fatiha is considered as ayah/verse....I apologise for my Mistake. One view is held by some scholars is that only Bismillah of surah fatiha is considered as ayah whereas Bismillah of rest of the ayahs are not considered as ayah. Whereas many sahaba considered "Bismillah hir rahmaan nir raheem " as verse for each surah excluding Surah Tawbah Please read the correct understanding regarding this issue. Point 1.The whole Quran has 6,236 verses There are 114 chapters/surah's one surah ,surah tawbah does not have bismillah Rest of the surah's have bismillah,so 113 surah has bismillah. The bismillah of surah fatiha is counted as ayah,and rest of the bismillah which are 112 in number at the begining of surah's are not counnted as verse.If we go by this method then there are 6,236 verses. Point 2.Sahaba did considered Bismillah as verse,so by excluding surah Taubah which does not have "Bismillah" the total number is 113 Bismillah plus 6235 verses concluding 6348. Allah says in Quran 15:87 And We have bestowed upon thee the Seven Oft-Repeated (verses) and the Grand Qur'an. Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 6.1 Narrated byAbu Said bin Al Mualla While I was praying in the Mosque, Allah's Apostle called me but I did not respond to him. Later I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I was praying." He said, "Didn't Allah say, 'Give your response to Allah (by obeying Him) and to His Apostle when he calls you.' " (8.24) He then said to me, "I will teach you a Sura which is the greatest Sura in the Qur'an, before you leave the Mosque." Then he got hold of my hand, and when he intended to leave (the Mosque), I said to him, "Didn't you say to me, 'I will teach you a Sura which is the greatest Sura in the Quran?' " He said, "Al-Hamdu-Lillah Rabbi-l-Alamin (i.e. Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds) which is Al-Sab'a Al-Mathani (i.e. seven repeatedly recited Verses) and the Grand Qur'an which has been given to me." 1.In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful. 2 Praise be to Allah the Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds. 3 Most Gracious Most Merciful. 4 Master of the Day of Judgment. 5 Thee do we worship and Thine aid we seek. 6 Show us the straight way. 7 The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace Those whose (portion) is not wrath and who go not astray. please visit to view Arabic Text here http://www.searchtruth.com/chapter_display.php?chapter=1&translator=7 Bismillah is the First Ayah of Al-Fatihah :tafsir by by ibn kathir The Companions started the Book of Allah with Bismillah: (1. In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.) The scholars also agree that Bismillah is a part of an Ayah in Surat An-Naml (chapter 27). They disagree over whether it is a separate Ayah before every Surah, or if it is an Ayah, or a part of an Ayah, included in every Surah where the Bismillah appears in its beginning. Ad-Daraqutni also recorded a Hadith from Abu Hurayrah from the Prophet that supports this Hadith by Ibn Khuzaymah. Also, similar statements were attributed to `Ali, Ibn `Abbas and others. The opinion that Bismillah is an Ayah of every Surah, except Al-Bara'ah (chapter 9), was attributed to (the Companions) Ibn `Abbas, Ibn `Umar, Ibn Az-Zubayr, Abu Hurayrah and `Ali. This opinion was also attributed to the Tabi`in: `Ata', Tawus, Sa`id bin Jubayr, Makhul and Az-Zuhri. This is also the view of `Abdullah bin Al-Mubarak, Ash-Shafi`i, Ahmad bin Hanbal, (in one report from him) Ishaq bin Rahwayh and Abu `Ubayd Al-Qasim bin Salam. On the other hand, Malik, Abu Hanifah and their followers said that Bismillah is not an Ayah in Al-Fatihah or any other Surah. Dawud said that it is a separate Ayah in the beginning of every Surah, not part of the Surah itself, and this opinion was also attributed to Ahmad bin Hanbal. wallahu alam Aqsa * <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Bismillah hir rahmaan nir raheem Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu The whole Quran has 6,236 verses Bismillah hir rahmaan nir raheem The whole Quran has 6,236 verses and not 6666 113 bismillah are not counted as verses and surah taubah does not have "Bismillah" Surah/Chapter # Surah Name Meaning Total Ayahs/Verses Total Rukus 1 Fatehah The Opening 7 1 2 Baqarah The Cow 286 40 3 Aal-e-Imran The Family of Imran 200 20 4 Nisaa The Women 176 24 5 Maidah The Table spread with foods 120 16 6 Al-Anaam The Cattle 165 20 7 Al-Araaf The wall with Elevations 206 24 8 Al-Anfaal The Spoils of War 75 10 9 Tawbah The Repentance 129 16 10 Yunus The Prophet [Jonah] 109 11 11 Hud The Prophet Hood 123 10 12 Yusouf The Prophet [Joseph] 111 12 13 Ar-Ra'ad The Thunder 43 6 14 Ibrahim The Prophet [Abraham] 52 7 15 Hijr The Rocky Tract 99 6 16 Nahl The Bee 128 16 17 Israa The Journey by Night 111 12 18 Al-Kahf The Cave 110 12 19 Maryam Mary (Mother of Jesus) 98 6 20 Taha One of the Names of Prophet Muhammad 135 8 21 Al-Anbiya The Prophets 112 7 22 Al-Hajj The Pilgrimage 78 10 23 Al-Muminun The Believers 118 6 24 Al-Nur The Light 64 9 25 Al-Farqan The Criterion 77 6 26 Ash-Shu'ara The Poets 227 11 27 Al-Naml The Ant 93 7 28 Al-Qasas The Narration 88 9 29 Al-Ankabut The Spider 69 7 30 Al-Rum The Romans 60 6 31 Luqman Luqman (A wise Man) 34 4 32 As-Sajdah The Prostration 30 3 33 Al-Ahzab The Confederates 73 9 34 Al-Saba Sheba (The Queen) 54 6 35 Al-Fatir The Originator of Creation 45 5 36 Ya'sin One of the Names of Prophet Muhammad 83 5 37 As-Saffat Those Ranged in Ranks 182 5 38 Suad Arabic Alphabet 88 5 39 Az-Zamar The Groups 75 8 40 Al-Mumin The Forgiver/The Believer 85 9 41 Hamim Sajdah In Detail 54 6 42 Ash-Shura The Consultations 53 5 43 Al-Aukhruf The Gold Adornment 89 7 44 Al-Dukhan The Smoke 59 3 45 Al-Jathiyah The Kneeling 37 4 46 Al-Ahqaf The Curved-Sand Hills 35 4 47 Muhammad The Prophet Muhammad 38 4 48 Al-Fath The Victory 29 4 49 Al-Hujurat The Dwellings 18 2 50 Q'af Arabic Alphabet 45 3 51 Al-Dhariyat The wind that Scatters 60 3 52 Al-Tur The Name of Mountain 49 2 53 Al-Najm The Star 62 3 54 Al-Qamr The Moon 55 3 55 Ar-Rahman The Most Gracious 78 3 56 Al-Waqiah The Event 96 3 57 Al-Hadid Iron 29 4 58 Al-Mujadila The Disputation 22 3 59 Al-Hashr The Gathering 24 3 60 Al-Mumtahana The Woman to be Examined 13 2 61 As-Saff The Row or The Rank 14 2 62 Al-Jumah Friday 11 2 63 Al-Munafiqun The Hypocrites 11 2 64 Al-Taghabun Mutual Loss or Gain 18 2 65 Al-Talaq The Divorce 12 2 66 Al-Tahrim The Prohibition 12 2 67 Al-Mulk Dominion 30 2 68 Al-Qalam The Pen 52 2 69 Al-Haqqah The Inevitable 52 2 70 Al-Maarij The Way of Ascent 44 2 71 Noah The Prophet Noah 28 2 72 Al-J'nn Genie 28 2 73 Al-Muzammil The One wrapped in Garment 20 2 74 Al-Mudashir The One Enveloped 56 2 75 Al-Qiyamah The Resurrection 40 2 76 Al-Dahr The Man 31 2 77 Al-Mursalat Those Sent Forth 50 2 78 Al-Naba The Great News 40 2 79 Al-Naziat Those Who Pull Out 46 2 80 Abasa The Frowned 42 1 81 Al-Takwir Wound Round and Lost its Light 29 1 82 Al-Infitar The Cleaving 19 1 83 Al-Mutaffafin Those Who Deal in Fraud 36 1 84 Al-Inshiqaq The Splitting Asunder 25 1 85 Al-Bhruj The Big Stars 22 1 86 Al-Tariq The Night-Comer 17 1 87 Al-A'la The Most High 19 1 88 Al-Ghashiya The Overwhelming 26 1 89 Al-Fajr The Break of the Day/The Dawn 30 1 90 Al-Balad The City 20 1 91 Ash-Shams The Sun 15 1 92 Al-Lail The Night 21 1 93 Al-Duha The Forenoon after Sunrise 11 1 94 Al-Inshira The Opening Forth 8 1 95 Al-T'in The Fig 8 1 96 Al-Alaq The Clot 19 1 97 Al-Qadr The Night of Decree 5 1 98 Al-Beyinnah The Clear Evidence 8 1 99 Al-Zilzal The Earthquake 8 1 100 Al-Aadiyat Those Who Runs 11 1 101 Al-Qariah The Striking Hour 11 1 102 Al-Takatur The Pilling up of Emulous Desire 8 1 103 Al-Asr The Time 3 1 104 Al-Humazah The Slanderer 9 1 105 Al-Fil The Elephant 5 1 106 Al-Qureysh A Famous Arab Tribe 4 1 107 Alma'un The Small Kindnesses 7 1 108 Al-Kauthar A River in Paradise 3 1 109 Al-Kafirun The Disbelievers 6 1 110 Al-Nasr The Help 3 1 111 Al-Lahab The Palm Rope 5 1 112 Al-Ikhlas The Purity 4 1 113 Al-Falaq The Day Break 5 1 114 Al-Nas The People 6 1 Total Verses 6236 Allah knows best _____________________________________________________________ Al-Tirmidhi HadithHadith 42 -Narrated byAl-Miqdad-Al-Miqdad heard Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) as saying: There will not remain upon the surface of the earth a mud-brick house or a camel's-hair tent but Allah will instill into it the word of Islam, bringing both mighty honour and abject humiliation.
