Information AboutSurah |
|
Sura (sometimes spelt "Surah" '''', plural "Suwar" ) is an Arabic term literally meaning "something enclosed or surrounded by a fence or wall." The term is commonly used to mean a "chapter" of the Qur'an , each of which is traditionally ordered roughly in reverse order to its length. Each Sura is named for a word or name mentioned in an Ayah (section), of that 'Sura'. Some 'Sura' were surprising to Muslims at the time of the 'Revelation'; for example, the elevated status of Mary - a Jewish woman and the mother of the Christian Jesus at the time of the 'Revelation' - which is mentioned in Sura 19 ("Maryam/Mary").
