means Allah the Almighty and Glorified had engaged himself during a period of twenty-three years, in
discourses with his holy-beloved.The style adopted in getting engaged in discourses with the holy beloved
are also varied. There are several in whispering fashion, several in supportive and several hintingly.
The discourse would begin in the open and all that was being said in privacy is something different.
Besides, there are many things bordering appeasements. That is why the Glorious Quran has apparent
meanings different from its intrinsic meanings, with the apperent knowledge there are apparent meanings
and with the intrinsic set of learnings there are intrinsic meanings. In short, the enlightened scholars have
contemplated in the Quranic percecptions and the learned figures that have pond thoughts to its meanings
and denotations while the adherent followers (i.e. Aameleen) have reduced varied interpretations of the
same. This in itself is yet another miracle of the Holy Quran.That is why there are more than fifty names
enumerated for the Glorious Quran.
“Quran,” Furqan: (i.e.one that strikes and line of discrimination between the Right and Wrong)
‘Rehmat, ‘Hikmat, ‘Huda’, ‘Mubeen’, ‘Kareem’, ‘Kalam’. ‘Burhan’, ‘Noor’, ‘Shifa’,’ Mo’ezat,’ ‘Zikr’,’Mubarak,’
Aliyun,’ Hakeemun,’Mohaimin,’ Musaddiq,’ ‘Qaul-Feil, ‘ Ahsbul-Hadeeth ‘Mathani Bayen ,Ilm, Haque etc.
are such names. The Holy Quran cosists of one hundred and fourteen:114,such names,surahs,five
hundred and four chapters (Rukoo) and seven Manzil.There are in it a total six thousands six hundreds and
sixty six verses, a total number or words: 76430, a total number of letters 302970, a total number of kasar:
39582 a total number of fatahat: 53223, a total numberof Zummat: 8804 , a total number of Madaa: 1771,a
total number of Tashdeedat:1274 , a total number of Nuqaat:105684 and the number of other alphabetic
letters are additional ones.
The revelation of the Glorious Quran in a holy night of the auspicious month of Ramadhan, i.e. in
shabe Qadr.The Almighty has said: “Verily, We have given revelation of it in a night of Qadr. The first verse
being “Iqra Bisme Rabbeka” (Reach With the Name of the Cherisher) and the last verse: “Al Youma Akmal
to Lakum Deenukum”-(i.e. Today, I have completed for you, your Deen)- (Surah Ma’edah chapter:1).
However, those compiling its commentaries are of the opinion that the “wattaqoo Yauman Turjeoona Fiehe
Iellahe”-(i.e.Fear the day you all shall be referred to Allah) was the verse revealed later on as an
admonition. The Tasmiya i.e. Bismillahir Rahmnir Raheem (i.e. In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent
and the Most Merciful in itself is one of the Quranic verse- (Surah Naml, Chapter: 2)
There are several verses which have been repeatedly mentioned in the Glorious Quran, e.g.:
“Fabie Aiya Alaye Rabbekuma Tukazzibaan-” (i.e. what are your Cherisher’s bounties that you are going to
Bely) has been repeated for twenty-one times. The verse: “Wa laqad Yassarnul Qurana, Fahul Mim
Muddhakir”- (i.e we have made this Quran easily, for admonition, then, is there someone, who shall get
admonished) –(Surah: Al Qamar) has been repeated four time . And the Verse:” woe is on that day for
those who are belying” (Surah Musselat-Part : 29) has been repeated ten times and there appear the
splitted leltters (i.e Muqatteats) at fourteen different places in Quran, in opening lines of various surahs,.
The meanings of these Muqatteats are best known to Allah and His messenger. However, an Aarif (i.e. the
enlightened ones) ought to know their connotations. There appear fourteen spots in the Glorious Quran
where, during its recitation or auditioning, the prostration to god has been held obligatory. And touching of
the Glorious Quran during a state of unpurged is forbidden.
