Or they may say, "He forged it," Say, "Bring ye then ten suras forged, like unto it, and call (to your aid) whomsoever ye can, other than Allah!- If ye speak the truth!

Surah Hud ayah 13


Say: "Then bring ye a Book from Allah, which is a better guide than either of them, that I may follow it! (do), if ye are truthful!"

Was it that hard? I read a lot of tafsir in my research for articles, and ayat 9:5 is one of the commonly misquoted verses so it went into that article.

err..you're right, really easy one Insha'Allah maybe we'll let another member answer.

Here's another type of question to ask:
Which surah begins with a reason?
Which surahs begin with questions?
Which surahs begin with oaths?
Which surahs begin with calls?
Which surahs begin with praise or glorification of Allah?
Which surahs begin with a command?
Which surahs begin with letters?

That is correct brother, now you must post a question.

I think there is another one with the word zaytoon in surah noor


Allahu noorus samaawati wal arz..

Erm...i guess it is my turn.

What surat has 'Fa'tu bikitabikum inkuntum sadeekheen' ? <---very easy ayat.

Keep in mind that there are some previous questions which have not been answered. We should answer those before moving on.

Which surahs begin with letters?

a. Three surahs are pre-fixed with only one letter:

(i) Surah Sad chapter 38 with Sad

(ii) Surah Qaf chapter 50 with Qaf

(iii) Surah Nun or Qalam chapter 68 with Nun

b. The combination of two letters occurs in 10 surahs:

Three of them occur only once each:

(i) Surah Ta Ha chapter 20 has Ta Ha

(ii) Surah Al Naml starting with chapter 27 has Ta Seen

(iii) Surah Ya Seen chapter 36 has Ya Seen

Ha Meem occurs in seven consecutive Surahs from Surah 40 to Surah 46:

(i) Surah Ghafir or Al-Mu'min chapter 40

(ii) Surah Fussilat or Ha Meem chapter 41

(iii) Surah Al Shura chapter 42

(iv) Surah Al Zukhruf chapter 43

(v) Surah Al Dukhan chapter 44

(vi) Surah Al Jathiyah chapter 45

(vii) Surah Al Ahqaf chapter 46



c. There are three combinations of three letters each occurring in 14 surahs.

Alif Laam Meem occurs in six surahs

(i) Surah Al Baqarah chapter 2

(ii) Surah Ali 'Imran chapter 3

(iii) Surah Al 'Ankabut chapter 29

(iv) Surah Al Rum chapter 30

(v) Surah Luqman chapter 31

(vi) Surah Al Sajdah chapter 32

Alif Laam Ra occurs in six consecutive surahs: Surah 10 to Surah 15:

(i) Surah Yunus chapter 10

(ii) Surah Hud chapter 11

(iii) Surah Yusuf chapter 12

(iv) Surah Al Rad chapter 13

(v) Surah Ibrahim chapter 14

(vi) Surah Al Hijr chapter 15

Ta Seen Meem occurs in two Surahs:

(i) Surah Al-Shura chapter 26

(ii) Surah Al-Qasas chapter 28



d. Combination of four letters occurs twice:

(i) Surah Aaraf chapter 7: Alif Laam Meem Sad

(ii) Surah Anfal chapter 8: Alif Laam Meem Ra



e. Combination of five letters occurs twice:

(i) Surah Maryam chapter 19 begins with Kaf Ha Ya Ayn Sad

(ii) Surah Al-Shura chapter 42 begins with Ha Meem Ayn Seen Qaf

Looks like sister ummnoura has listed out all 31 surahs (if I count correctly) for the surahs that begin with letters. We have 83 surahs left to categorise.

Now about the one that zAk mentioned, it is a surah beginning with a purpose or a reason for something else. It will be easier if you categorise all other surahs first before dealing with this one, since there is only one that begins with a reason.

Which surahs begin with questions?

Is it surah fil?

How many more do I need to find?
