The Quran is composed of verses ( Ayat ) that make up 114 chapters ( suras ) of unequal length which are classified either as Meccan () or Medinan () depending upon the place and time of their claimed revelation.

The term chapter is sometimes avoided, as the suras are of unequal length ; the shortest sura ( Al-Kawthar ) has only three ayat ( verses ) while the longest ( Al-Baqara ) contains 286 ayat.

Every element of the Quran is mathematically composed — the suras, the verses, the words, the number of certain letters, the number of words from the same root, the number and variety of divine names, the unique spelling of certain words, the absence or deliberate alteration of certain letters within certain words, and many other elements of the Quran besides its content.
