00:00In the Quran there are 114 surahs. Some people translate surahs as a chapter but it may be
00:09misleading to our Christian brothers and sisters because a chapter in the Bible is part of a book
00:17so we can barely translate a surah as a chapter. I think it's more likely or better to translate
00:25a surah as a book. So once again in the Quran there are 114 surahs and surahs let's say books
00:33for others
00:34to understand. In the Bible there are some 66 books at times maybe 73 or 79. It's depending on which
00:46Bible
00:46or which denomination you choose. For instance the difference between a Protestant or a Catholic or
00:55an Orthodox Bible and hence the number of the books may differ but in the Quran it's always 114. As
01:02you
01:02all know there is one single Quran and not different ones. So one of the surahs in the Quran is
01:11called
01:11Surat Miryam which means the equivalent of the book of Mary. So Alhamdulillah in the Quran we have Surat
01:22Surat Miryam or the book of Mary but you cannot find a book of Mary neither in the Old nor
01:30in the New Testament.
01:32So once again that is due to the importance of Mary Alayhi Salam
