Let's Get to Know the Quran

1. Meaning of the word "Quran" The word "Quran" (القرآن) means "that which is readable", "recitable", or "the book that is frequently read."
Arabic Root: The word Quran is derived from the root verb "qara'a" (قَرَأَ), which means "to read" or "to recite."
2. Meaning of Surah The word Surah means "separation" or "eminence"—implying that the reader of the Quran progresses from one Surah or level of high status to an even higher distinct status. It is also said to mean "elegance" or "excellence." In the Arabic language, it is used to denote a fortress or citadel. Furthermore, a complete or full she-camel is also called Suratun in Arabic. (Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Vol. 1 – p. 52)
3. Meaning of Ayah: Ayah means a sign, token, or miracle. As stated in Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayah 242: "Inna ayata mulkihi..."
Meaning, "Indeed, the sign of his kingship (referring to Prophet Talut / Saul, peace be upon him)..." Its meaning can also denote something extraordinary or wondrous. (Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Vol. 1 – p. 52)
4. Total Number of Ayahs: The total number of Ayahs (verses) in the Quran is recorded as 6,214, with other variant counts mentioned such as 6,219, 6,225, and 6,226.

5. The greatest Mufassir of the Quran is Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him).
During the caliphate of Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), he was appointed as the leader of the Hajj delegation.
