Ayah

Ayah

Ayah ( _ar. آية "ArabDIN|ʾāyatun", plural Ayat _ar. آيات "ArabDIN|ʾāyātun") is the Arabic word for sign or miracle, cognate with Hebrew "ot", means sign. The word usually refers to each one of the 6236 verses [http://www.askimam.org/fatwa/fatwaList.php?fid=31] found in the Qur'an (6348 ayat counting the basmalas). Muslims regard each ayah of the Qur'an as a sign from Allah.

The verse number in a symbol is written at the end of each verse. This symbol is ۝, "end of Ayah". Its Unicode number is U+06DD and ۝۝۝۝ also denotes the end of a sura.

There are two types of Ayah, 1- Ayah having order in it is ("Mohkumaat") and 2-("mutashabihaat") meaning resembling ayats. [http://www.islamawakened.com/quran/3/7] . The word mutashabeh means similar. [http://www.islamawakened.com/quran/6/99] .
