Select your answer for: What is the total count of verses (ayats) contained in Surah Al-Ḥujurāt?
Show answer

Answer: C. 18

Explanation

Surah Al-Hujurat is the forty-ninth chapter of the Holy Quran and consists of exactly 18 verses. Traditional counting systems consistently verify that this specific chapter contains eighteen distinct ayat. Scholarly manuscripts and printed editions universally agree on this exact number of verses for the chapter. Surah Al-Hujurat addresses crucial social etiquette, community ethics, and moral guidelines for believers. The chapter emphasizes mutual respect, verifying news carefully, and maintaining peace among different factions. Most verses in this portion were revealed in Madina during a period when the Muslim society was expanding.

Believers frequently study this surah to learn essential communication manners and conflict resolution principles. Educational curricula often include these verses to teach youth about respectful social interactions and ethics. Memorizing the shorter chapters allows students to recite them regularly during daily prayers. Twelve is an incorrect verse count that does not match any standard enumeration of this surah. Ten underestimates the actual length of Surah Al-Hujurat according to all established Quranic indices. Twenty-two overestimates the verse count since the chapter concludes precisely at eighteen verses.
