However, Khalidi's Quran is unique in that it is divided not into individual verses, as is the case with all other Qurans, no matter their language, but rather into clusters of three, four, or five verses at a time. In other words, he bundles the individual verses into lengthy paragraphs that are rendered in both prose and poetry.
The Egyptian scholar and poet Mustafa Sadiq al-Rafe’ie (1880-1937 AD), said of the Quran that “since human history was first recorded, no book can be found that has had as many commentaries, interpretations, books, and words written on it to the extent of that written on the Quran, not in a similar manner or even close to it.”
Say (to them), ‘Bring ten invented chapters like it, and call (for help) on whomever you can besides God, if you are truthful.” (Quran 11:13) 3. One Chapter. This final challenge was to produce even a single chapter to match what is in the Quran, whose shortest chapter, al-Kawthar, consists of only three verses: How Many Surahs in The Quran. A surah is an equivalent of “chapter” in the Qur’an.There are 114 total Surahs in Quran, each divided into ayahs (verses).The chapters or surahs are of unequal length; the shortest surah (Al-Kauthar) has only three verses while the longest (Al-Baqara) contains 286 verses.shortest word in quran
