Āyah

Quranic verses, also known as ayat (Arabic: آية, plural: آيات, romanized: āyāt), are the individual units of text that make up the Quran, the holy book of Islam. The term ayat literally means "signs" or "miracles" and is used to refer to the verses of the Quran as they are considered divine revelations from God (Allah) to the Prophet Muhammad. In Hebrew, the term can be translated as פסוקי הקוראן (Pasukey HaKoran). In other relevant languages, the term is translated as Verses du Coran in French, Versi del Corano in Italian, and Versos del Corán in Spanish. The Quran is composed of 114 chapters, or surahs (Arabic: سورة, plural: سور, romanized: sūrah), which vary in length and are further divided into these verses. The number of verses in the Quran is 6,236 in the Uthmani script, which is the most widely used version of the Quran. Each verse serves a specific purpose, whether it be to convey a moral lesson, tell a story, or provide guidance on various aspects of life. The verses are memorized, recited, and studied by Muslims worldwide as part of their religious practice and spiritual development.
