The Quran is divided into 114 chapters, or surahs, of varying lengths. The surahs are placed in declining order of length rather than in the order of revelation. Surah Al-Baqarah, the longest surah, has 286 verses, while Surah Al-Kawthar is the smallest with only 3 verses. It's stated in the Quran. The Quran contains 114 surahs, each separated by ayahs (verses). The chapters, or surahs, differ in length; the shortest surah (Al-Kawthar) has only three verses, while the longest (Al-Baqara) has 286. 86 of the Quran's 114 chapters are Meccan, while 28 are Medinan. Surah Baqarah is a highly significant and complete Surah of the Quran. On the other hand, the last two a of the Baqarah have a unique significance. It was Narrated by Abu Masud Al-Badri: Allah's Apostle said, it is sufficient for one to recite the last two Verses of Surat-al-Baqara at night. Hadees 4008 (Sahih Al Bukhari) In tafsir Al-Qurtubi and Itqan by Suyuti a narration has been quoted that shows that Surah At-Tawbah was originally equal to the length of Surah Baqarah. Here is the reference from Itqan by Suyuti:-Malik says that several verses from chapter 9 (Sura of Repentance) have been dropped from the beginning. kTmX.
