The Quran, the holy book of Islam, contains approximately 77,430 words. This count can vary slightly depending on the method of counting and the specific version of the Quran being referenced. The Quran is written in Arabic and is divided into 114 chapters, known as Surahs, which vary in length.
Each Surah is further divided into verses, called Ayahs. The total number of Ayahs in the Quran is 6,236. The word count is an important aspect for scholars and students who study the Quran in detail, as it helps in understanding the structure and the depth of the text.
It’s fascinating to note that despite the large number of words, the Quran is considered by Muslims to be the literal word of God (Allah) as revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) over a period of 23 years. The precision and eloquence of the Quran’s language are highly revered in Islamic tradition.
