List of chapters in the Quran

Al-Fatiha, the first surah in the Quran

The Quran is divided into 114 surahs (chapters), and 6236 (excluding "Bismillah") or 6348 (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 bismi-llāhi r-raḥmāni r-raḥīm ("In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful."). 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.
