How many Madani and Makki words and letters are there in the Holy Quran?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The number of Makkan surahs in the Holy Quran is eighty-five, and the Madinan surahs are twenty-nine. None of the scholars have exhaustively enumerated the number of words and letters in the Makkan and Madinan surahs distinctly; rather, this compilation was done for the entire Quran. There is no practical benefit in knowing the number of words and letters, as the Quran cannot be increased or decreased.
