Explanation About Total number of Ayat(verses) in Al Quran(Click Here)
Scholars have different opinions about the number of the Quranicverses.
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, Shafiischolars regarded “Bismillahr-Rahman-ir-Rahim” as a part of each suraand
didn’t numerate them. But the Hanafischolarsregarded each “Bismillahr-Rahman-ir-Rahim”
as specific verses, so counted them.
c)It’s the same about the huroofulmuqattaa(some secret letters which are written in the
beginning of some suraslike ”Yasin, 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

19. 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-iHuzeyme(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 Nasihwa’lMansuh”:
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 Exampleverses
7) 500 verses about Ruling
8) 100 verses about Invocation and Glorification
9) 66 “nasihand 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.

Explanation About number of Rukuin Al Quran (Click Here)
There are 540 Rukuin Al Quran. (Click Here)
This subdivision is not part of original revelation but adopted later-on to facilitate
completion of Al Quran on the 27
th
night of Ramadan (i.e. on LaylatulQadr).
The Rukuof The Holy Quran was not to be found in the time of NabiMuhammad (ﷺ), nor
in the time of the Sahaaba(RA). Around 4 AH the Ulemaof Bukhara, Russia divided the
entire Quran into 540 Rukufor Taraaweehpurposes.
The Equation is as Follows:
When devising these Rukuthe Ulemamade sure that Rukucontained Ayatof the
same topic and theme; because the Hafiz goes into Rukuafter reciting it in one
Raka'atof TaraaweehSalaah.
After further study found that Al Quran has Actual 558 Ruku.(Click Here)
(558 Rukufollowed in the present discussion)
1 Rukuper Raka'atx20 Raka'at=20 Rukuper Night of Ramadanx27 Nights of Ramadan=540 Ruku
