UNKNOWN, LESS-KNOWN, WRONG KNOWLEDGES ABOUT THE QUR'AN
*** The Qur'an consists of 114 chapters // SURE.
*** The total number of verses of the Qur'an is known as 6666. But this information is not correct. If we write the verse numbers of the 114 suras in the Qur'an one after the other and take the total, we will see the number 6236. Yes, the Qur'an consists of 6236 verses.
*** The Qur'an was not sent down from Allah all at once, but in parts. This descent process (revelation process) started in 611 AD when our Prophet was 40 years old and lasted exactly 22 years, 2 months and 22 days. Shortly after the revelation was completed, our Prophet passed away.
*** The Qur'an in our hands is not arranged in the order of descent from Allah. The sequences of the verses and suras were determined by our Prophet, again with the direction of revelation after their descent. For example; Surah Al-Alaq, which descended first, ranks 96th in the Qur'an. Fatiha, the first surah of the Qur'an, was revealed in the 5th row.
*** Surah lengths vary. The longest surah is Surat al-Baqara, which is in the 2nd row of the Qur'an, consists of 286 verses and is 48 pages in the Qur'an, each of which consists of 15 lines. The whole consists of 604 - pages.
The shortest surah is the Surah Kevser, which consists of 3 verses and one and a half lines. ( 108th sura )
*** The verse lengths are also varied: Sura 73 (Muzzamil) verse 20 is a full page volume. The first verse of Surat al-Baqara consists of the letters Elif, Lam, Mim, that is, only 3 letters.
*** I saw that the information about the total number of words and letters in the works and tafsirs about the Qur'an was inconsistent and a definite determination could not be made. In this computer age, I have made it my job to determine the numerical characteristics of this important book. With the help of Murshid 4.0 and Muallim 1.0 CDs, I determined the word and letter sums of each sura and the total Qur'an with the help of months-long meticulous work. According to the result I got; There are a total of 77,800 words and 329,987 letters in the Qur'an.
*** BESMELE is the key to the Qur'an and its verses. With the exception of the 9th Sura (Tawba), all suras have Basmala at the beginning. In other words, there is Basmalah at the beginning of 113 suras. It is not at the beginning of the surah of repentance. There is a Basmalah in verse 30 of the 27th Sura (Neml). That is, there are two Basmalahs in Surah Neml, one at the beginning and one in verse 30. Thus, the total number of Basmalah is the total number of verses, that is, 114.
*** Basmala was revealed for the first time with the Fatiha Surah. The Basmala at the beginning of Surah Fatiha is considered an independent verse. Basmalahs at the beginning of the other 112 suras are not considered independent verses.
*** The life of our Prophet was not enough for the Qur'an to be collected as a book. Six months after his death, during the time of the caliph Abu Bakr, since there were no writing tools and facilities today and the preservation of the descended verses was provided by memorization (with hafiz) by some of the first Muslims, these hafizes and witnesses were compared and proved, the verses were collected and recorded by writing with the primitive writing tools of that time. Then, in the time of Caliph Osman, a copy was sent to important centers by being reproduced and all previous writings were destroyed.
*** This is the Caliph, the Qur'an in the hands of us and Muslims all over the world. It is the Qur'an collected and reproduced by Osman. It has survived to the present day without changing a single letter. Its protection is under the guarantee of Allah's protection with the verse 15/9 of the Qur'an.
WE DOWNLOAD HIM AND WE ARE THE ONE TO PROTECT IT''
*** The Qur'an is not like all the books we know. Although he examines all the details of every subject he deals with, the information and messages he gives about a subject are not in an organized manner and are scattered throughout the Qur'an. Because of this feature, those who approach the Qur'an for the first time encounter a messy image. This gives a negative image to those who approach the subject superficially.
*** Until the last 30-40 years ago, the most important source for understanding the Qur'an was the CLASSIC COMMENTARY, which interpreted the Qur'an one by one in surah and verse order. These comprehensive and very large-scale tafsirs were not sufficient to adequately understand and evaluate the Qur'an.
For the last 20-30 years, the so-called THEMED COMMENTARY; The works that gathered all the verses related to a subject together and made it possible to see and evaluate the entire view of the Qur'an on that subject began to come to the fore. In addition, there are index books arranged according to topics, which allow to get results more quickly and concisely in practice, which do not include extensive explanations, and which allow to see only the verses related to the same topic collectively.
Due to this special situation of the Qur'an, it is not possible to LEARN AND UNDERSTAND WHAT THE QUR'AN DECIDES ON A SUBJECT WITH ONE OF THE verses related to the subject...
WHEN THIS IS IMPLEMENTED, IT SHALL BE SEEN THAT THE QURAN IS ATTRACTING EVERY SUBJECT ITS ADDRESSES WITH ITS CURRENT SCIENTIFIC APPROACH METHOD AND ITS SYSTEM WITH ALL ITS Aspects. ( * )
