List of Surahs in the Quran with Meanings

The Quran consists of 114 surahs (chapters) of varying lengths. Each chapter contains both short and long verses. The shortest chapter has only 3 verses while the longest has 286. The Prophet (SAW) received the revelation of the Quran over 23 years, while he was in Makkah for the first 13 years, then Madinah for 10 years approximately.

The majority of the surah names in the Quran were named by the Prophet (SAW). Some surahs were named by the companions of the Prophet, such as Al-Isra or Al-Zumar etc. Many are named after the main theme or event that occurs in that chapter.

Quite a few surahs are known by more than one name based on how the Prophet (SAW) and his sahaba referenced them. So you will find a surah being given a different name in certain copies of the Quran. The contents and text are exactly the same, just the name of the chapter is different.
