List of chapters in the Quran

{{Short description|None}}

File:FirstSurahKoran_(fragment).jpg, the first surah in the Quran]]

The Quran is divided into 114 surahs (chapters), and 6,236 (excluding "Bismillah") or 6,349 (including Bismillah") ayahs (verses). Chapters are arranged broadly in descending order of length. For a preliminary discussion about the chronological order of chapters, see Surah.

Each surah except the ninth (At-Tawba) is preceded by a formula known as the basmalla or tasmiah, which reads {{transliteration|ar|DIN|bismi-llāhi r-raḥmāni r-raḥīm}} ("In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.").{{Harvnb|Asad|1980|loc=Introduction to Sura 1.}} In twenty-nine surahs this is followed by a group of letters called "muqaṭṭa'āt" (lit. "abbreviated" or "shortened"), unique combinations of a few letters whose meaning are unknown.
