Contemplation of the Quranic Verses and understanding their meanings and noble purposes is at its core worship by which the slave approaches his Creator, as these verses contain all that has happened, is happening, and will happen, these verses came to record for us the stories of the first two, lessons, rulings, prohibitions and divine orders with which we are happy in the worldly and the hereafter.
Meaning of a verse in the Quran
It is singular verses, and in the Arabic language means miracle or mark or emirate, and when linked to the Holy Qur’an, it means the paragraph or sentence and divides the surahs of the Qur’an into verses, and the forms of verses and their number vary according to the surahs, some of them are a line, some are letters, and some exceed the line and two lines,
and it is worth noting in this regard that the longest verse in the Holy Qur’an is the verse of religion in Surat Al-Baqarah, which is verse No. 282, while the shortest verse in the Qur’an is Taha or Yassin or Ham.
These Quranic verses are eloquent and distinguished from what came by the Arabs of ignorance in weight and rhyme, and therefore they were revealed to confirm the prophecy and refute the infidels, they fell into confusion when they went to say: How can an illiterate man who does not read or write to come with such verses in which the eloquence and tightness of what the worlds are unable to bring.
How many verses and letters of the Holy Quran and how many Hezb does it have?
There is a difference among scholars on the number of verses of God, but the most likely opinion is that the number of verses is 6200 verses, while opinions vary in more than that, some said: that the number of verses is 6204 verses, and some of them said: 6225 verses and some said: 6236 verses. These numbers are distributed among seven schools of thought, which is a statement:
1- First civil issue
This was narrated by Nafi’ from Abu Ja’far and Shaybah, who said that the number of Qur’anic verses is 6217 verses.
2- The last civil number
This is what Isma’il ibn Ja’far narrated from Sulayman ibn Jammaz, who said that the number of verses is 6214 verses.
3- The Meccan number
It was narrated by Abu ‘Amr al-Dani from Ibn Kathir Mujahid Ibn ‘Abbas from Abi ibn Ka’b from the Messenger (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) that the number of Qur’anic verses is 6210 verses.
4- Optical number
This is narrated by al-Dani from ‘Asim al-Jahdari and ‘Ata’ ibn Yasar, who said that the number of Qur’anic verses is 6,204 verses.
5- Damascene number
This is what al-Dani narrated from Yahya al-Dhamari from Ibn ‘Amir from Abu al-Darda’ who says the numbers 6224 and 6227 verses.
6- Homsi number
It is narrated from Shurayh ibn Yazid al-Homsi who said that the number of Qur’anic verses is 6232 verses.
7- Kufic number
This is what Hamza and Sufyan narrated from ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the number of Qur’anic verses is 6236.
This discrepancy in the number of verses is attributed to the difference between Meccan, civilian, Basri, Kufic, and Levantine reciters, and the difference in the number of verses is only a formality that does not detract from the Holy Qur’an, does not increase it or affect it, but it is a difference in the intervals of the verses, that is, in the place of their end.
As for the number of letters of the Holy Qur’an, there is a difference in that, some of them said: that the number of words of the Holy Qur’an is 77,437 words, while its letters were said to be 321,000 letters, and there is an opinion that says: that the number of letters 323015 letters.
The difference in the number of words is due to the difference in whether or not the basmala is considered a verse, as well as in the letters of the tide.
Coming to the number of parties of the Qur’an, the Qur’an is thirty parts, each part into two parties, each party into four quarters, and each quarter to eighths, and the parties of the Qur’an at the present time are divided into sixty parties, and the party may be divided into two halves or into four quarters,
so the Qur’an is 240 quarter parties, and these quarters of the Hafiz of the Qur’an may consist of only 9 verses or up to 70 verses.
The reason for this is that the Tahzeeb of the Qur’an dates back to the time of the pilgrims, which relied on the number of letters and not the verses and surahs.
The virtue of Surat Al-Fatihah
Many virtues of Surat Al-Fatihah were received, it is a Meccan surah, and it is the first surah in the order of the Qur’an, and the number of its verses is seven with the basmala, and this is a statement of the virtue of Surat Al-Fatihah:
1- The greatest surah
This is because the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “To teach you a surah that is the greatest surah in the Qur’an, he said: Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, it is the seven Mathani, and the great Qur’an that you have received.” [Saheeh, narrated by Abu Sa’id ibn al-Mu’ali]
2- Roqyah for the patient
Imam al-Bukhari narrated in his Saheeh from Abu Sa’id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: “Some of the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came to one of the Arab neighborhoods and did not approve of them. They said, “You have not read us, and we will not do so until you have made a flock for us, and they have made a flock of wills for them, and he has made him recite the mother of the Qur’an.” [Saheeh, narrated by Abu Sa’id al-Khudri]
3- Meeting demands
The Almighty said in Surat Al-Fatihah: (Do not worship and do not seek help) When we read it, it is indicative of the help of God – the Almighty – in meeting the needs and achieving the goals and purposes.
4- Response to supplication
The Almighty said in Surat Al-Fatihah: (Guide us to the straight path, the path of those whom you have blessed, not those who are angry with them or those who are lost). Guidance to the straight path is the way to answer supplication.
5- Monologues with God
Surat Al-Fatihah is obligatory for every Muslim in every rak’ah, as it is one of the pillars of prayer, as the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “There is no prayer for those who have not read the opening of the Book.” [Saheeh, narrated by ‘Ubadah ibn al-Samit] The Messenger of Allah said: “Every prayer in which the opening of the Book is not recited is prematurity.” [Saheeh, narrated by Abu Huraira] Prematurity is corruption.
The virtue of Ayat al-Kursi
Ayat al-Kursi is the greatest verse of the Holy Qur’an, and there are many virtues for it, including the following:
1- The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite it after every prayer, and he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever recites the verse of al-Kursi orchestrates every written prayer, nothing prevents him from entering Paradise, except death.” [Saheeh, narrated by Abu Umamah al-Bahili]
2- Prevention of envy, the eye, and magic, whoever reads it in the morning, may God protect him until the evening, as well as whoever memorizes it in the evening, may God protect it until the morning, has made it a guard from the devil, charlatans, and charlatans.
3- The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite it at bedtime to drive away demons.
4- It contains the names of Allah, including the name of Allah the Greatest, which if the servant is called, he answers.

On the [same] Day the hypocrite men and hypocrite women will say to those who believed, “Wait for us that we may acquire some of your light.” It will be said, “Go back behind you and seek light.” And a wall will be placed between them with a door, its interior containing mercy, but on the outside of it is torment. [Al-Hadīd: 13]
