Ayah (آية ʾāyatun, plural Ayat آيات ʾāyātun) is the Arabic word for sign or miracle. The word usually refers to each one of the 6236 verses [1] found in the Qur'an (6349 ayat counting in 113 bismilas, excluding one for Surah At-Taubah). Muslims regard each ayah of the Qur'an a sign from Allah. The word Ayat is also used by Christians in countries with strong Arabic language influence, such as Indonesian Christians.
The verse number in a symbol is written at the end of each verse.[1] 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 ayat:
1- Verses that are Muhkumaat: with very clear and straightforward meanings.
2- Verses that are Mutashabehaat: with multiple interpretations.
