STATISTICS OF THE GLORIOUS QUR'AN

The Glorious Qur’an is the last script of the Divine Revelation from Allah which is still unpolluted unlike other Heavenly Scriptures. It was revealed on the heart of the Last and the Chief of all Messengers, the Infallible Prophet Muhammad Mustafa (s.a.w.a.s.).

The Glorious Qur’an was revealed to guide the humanity. Hence, the Noble Prophet (s.a.w.a.s.) near the apparent demise from this world: “I am leaving behind two important and priceless guides; the Book of Allah and my Progeny, if you are attached to them you will never go astray.” Hence we have to know as much as possible about them if we want guidance for this world and Hereafter.

The Glorious Qur’an was revealed over a period of 23 years; from 610 A.D. to 632 A.D.

There are 114 Surahs out of which 86 were revealed in Makkah and 28 in Mdinah.

The longest Surah is the Surah al-Baqarah with 286 Ayahs.

The Shortest Surah is the Surah al-Kausar with 3 Ayahs.

Surahs named after the Prophets are 7 while Prophets named in the Glorious Qur’an are 28 with 18 Prophets names are mentioned in Surah al-Ana’am.

Allah is used 2,698 times, Rahman is used 57 times, and Rahim is used 114 times in the Glorious Qur’an. These numbers are other than “Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim.

In each Ayah of Surah al-Mujadelah, the name of Allah has been used.

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim has been used before every Surah except Surah al-Taubah, but it was used twice in Surah al-Namal; one at the beginning and other in Ayah 30.

The Ayah; “Today, I have perfected your religion, completed My favors to you, and have chosen Islam as your religion.” Surah al-Ma’idah Ayah 3, was the last Ayah of the Glorious Qur’an and the Noble Prophet (s.a.w.a.s.) lived only 80 days after this revelation. This Ayah was revealed at Ghadeer-e-Khum at the Coronation of Imam Ali as his vicegerent as ordered by Allah.

Laws relating to the women and marriage etc. are discussed in Surah al-Nisa.
