Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
The name "Sura" (سُرى) in the form mentioned does not exist in the Quran. As for what is written in Latin characters, "sora," if "" (سورة) is intended, it is a generic noun for parts of the Quran, and a Quranic term derived from "sur" (سور - surrounding wall), specifically referring to designated parts of the Quran, unlike other books.
