METHOD OF CALCULATING THE TOTAL 6666 QUR'ANIC VERSES
BISMILLAHIRRAHMANIRRAHIM…
Is it true that the number of verses in the Al-Quran is 6666 ??? while if we count it one by one the number is very different that is only 6236 verses only ??? but why is there a difference of opinion among scholars about the actual number of verses of the Al-Quran ??? say it amounts to 6217,6214,6227,6204 and the most famous is 6236… how did this number 6666 come about ??? is it a mistake by the previous literati ???
I quote from Sheikh Ainullah:
"There is an infinite number of verses of the Qur'an, no human being can count the actual number except Allah Almighty. But the way of looking and estimating the number of verses recorded in the Holy Qur'an is different according to understanding and study of each. 2. All those opinions are true. The ideology of the scholars of Fiqh is also true, the ideology of Ahli Hakeqat is also true, only different from the point of view of it. "
The difference is when counting the number and determining whether a piece of a sentence is one verse or two verses. Some people count two verses into one. And on the other hand, some count one verse into two. If all the lafadz of the Quran are read, they are all the same and there is no difference. Then why is it different in determining whether one lafadz is one verse or two verses? The answer is first Rasulullah SAW sometimes narrated to stop reading and inhale. At that time the assumption arose in some people that when the Prophet took a breath, that is where the verse stopped and ended. While others are of the view that the Prophet SAW just stopped breathing and has nothing to do with the cessation of a verse. Moreover, the Prophet SAW at that time also did not explain why he inhaled and stopped. And it is not explained whether the stopping indicates a fragment of the verse, or just simply inhaling because the verse is long. The difference in counting the number of verses does not tarnish the Qur'an at all. In particularly similar to the difference in the number of pages of the mushaf from the various printing versions. Some mushfahs are thin and have few pages, but some mushfahs are thick and contain many pages.
There are also sources of differences of opinion: The first group states that Surah Al-Anfal and Surah At-Taubah (Al-Baraah) are 2 separate surahs. While the second group thinks that the two surahs are the same surah (one surah). This is also due to the absence of the Basmallah at the beginning of Surah At-Taubah, which causes some people to think that Surah At-Taubah is a continuation of Surah Al-Anfal (one surah).
Scholars' Debate Dear friends, some scholars do not agree in determining the number of verses of the Qur'an due to several factors that I have discussed a little above. This science is discussed in depth by scholars, and this science is given the name of Fawasil Science.
Fawasil is a science that discusses the surah and the number of verses of the Qur'an specifically in terms of the number of verses for each surah, the end of each verse (ra'su al-ayah), and the beginning of the verse.
For your information, the Al-Quran that we always read now (even almost one world) is written based on the Qiraat Narrated by Hafs An 'Aasim (please refer further)
HOW DID THE NUMBER 6666 COME???
Among the following are the figures who said/narrated that the number of verses as many as 6666 are:
Abdullah Ibn Abbas radhiallahu 'anhu (the fifth friend who narrated many hadiths after' Aisyah radhiyallahu 'anha)
Zamahshari (ra) (scholar in Arabic literature and language)
Bediuzzaman, the mujaddid (the reformer) in the 13th century,
Ibn-i Huzeyme, one of the high priests, in the book "An Nasih wa'l Mansuh"
Abi Hasan in the book Aqeedah Al-Najin
In this regard, the calculation method below is one of the methods to arrange the verses of the Qur'an according to the study in terms of deepening the content and meaning
The total number of verses compiled by the scholars are:
1000 verses of the Qur'an related to enjoining good deeds
1000 verses of the Qur'an related to preventing immorality
1000 verses of the Qur'an related to the Promise to be rewarded
1000 verses of the Quran Promise retribution
1000 verses of the Quran related verses compare with something.
1000 verses of the Quran related to Stories and News
500 Quranic verses Related to Halal and Haram
100 Quranic Verses related to Prayer and Tasbih
66 Quranic verses relating to Nasakh and Mansuh.
The total is 6666.
It can be referred to as 6666 stories@narration in the Quran.
Many scholars of the past and present who agree with the above method and apply it until now… it is compiled and arranged neatly based on the methods of interpreting the Qur'an according to the discipline of knowledge.
The knowledge of the number of verses of the Qur'an, its letters & surahs, is not one an obligation that is fardhu ‘ain to every Muslim. However, the ulama 'from among the mufassirin (experts of Tafsir) themselves, in studying the Al-Quran Al-Karim, did not escape from studying and talking about the number of surahs, verses, and even letters in Al -Quran Al-Karim.
The Prophet saw himself acknowledged their sincerity in adhering to the religion of Islam as he said:
"The best of my people is the era that I sent to them, then the next era". (Narrated by Muslim in his sahih, hadith 2534)
There is also an opinion that says that version 6666 is from the Shiites. (God willing, please refer to the authentic source)
But it is emphasized here, there is no fatwa from imams or scholars around the world that forbids this opinion, but there are in our society in a hurry with their lust to ban the above opinion. It is necessary for us as Muslims to believe that the Al-Quran itself is a miracle that Allah has promised its authenticity until the Day of Judgment. One of the miracles is that until now no human being has been able to sum the verses of the Al-Quran accurately even according to the latest method (calculator).
Whatever message from my previous teachers and deceased teachers that I still remember until now is that if we only read the Al-Quran then we only find 6236 verses and if we read, understand, and study it, God willing we will find where the 6666 is…
Wallahu’alam…
