Question
How many verses are there in the Qur'aan Shareef?
Answer
The Qur'aan Majeed has 6666 Aayaat according to Hadhrat Aishah (Radhiyallahu anha). There are other versions also which vary between 6212 and 6616. The differences stem from the method of counting the verses. For example, some authorities regarded a certain passage to be two aayats whilst others considered it one verse. But the content matter is the same according to all authorities.
