The Quran, the holy book of Islam, consists of 114 chapters known as Surahs. These Surahs vary in length, with the shortest being just a few verses and the longest containing 286 verses. In total, the Quran has approximately 6,236 verses, known as Ayahs.
The length of the Quran can also be measured in terms of words and letters. It contains around 77,430 words and over 323,000 letters. The exact count can vary slightly depending on the method of counting and the script used.
When it comes to reading time, an average reader can complete the Quran in about 15 to 20 hours if read continuously. However, many Muslims prefer to read it over a month, especially during the holy month of Ramadan, by dividing it into 30 equal parts called Juz’.
Understanding the Quran’s length helps in appreciating its depth and the commitment required to study and reflect upon its teachings.
