Overview
The Holy Book Quran consists of 114 Chapters (Surah) and totally 6236 Verses (Ayah). The Quran was orally revealed over a period of 23 years and written for the first time at the time of Khulafaur Rasyidin. In the most printed editions, the Quran consists of 604 pages, which furtherly organized into parts, notably a so-called Juz. There is 30 Juz in total.
For the results presented in this document, the Quran text is based on the Uthmani version published by Tanzil project (http://tanzil.net/). Based on this text, the Quran is composed of 77430 words and 325666 letters. For comparison, based on data published by corpus.quran.com (Kais Dukes, University of Leeds) the figures are 77429 words and 623638 (join letters and diacritics/harakah).
This document mainly presents some numbers and figures with minimal narration since it is meant to be a quick reference for supporting further research in some aspects of The Noble Quran. Data used in RDS-Q #3 is at chapter level (length of 114) i.e. data related to verses, words, and letters are pre-processed for the whole chapter.
All Chapters - C,V,C+V
The following two Figures show number of verses (V), chapter number (C) and the addition of C+V. The first Figure depicts linear plot of V and C+V over C. The corresponding density functions are plotted in the second Figure.
The following Table gives some statistical values for these parameters.
