Talk:Muhammad (surah)

Verses
Chapter 47 has 38 verses at https://quran.com/47 and as stated in the lede. Why does the summary state that there are 40 verses?- BobKilcoyne (talk) 20:41, 23 August 2021 (UTC)


 * There is a little background Here. I believe Wherry used the verse numbering of the Qurans in common use in India at the time. This was before 1924 when the Quran was standardized with 6236 verses. I am no fan of Info boxes as they demand black and White input to often nuanced information.

 * Thank you, JorgeLaArdilla. How is it best to reflect this in the text? BobKilcoyne (talk) 04:18, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
 * BobKilcoyne, please note I have amended prev comment. I know some other Wikipedians have rearranged the bolded verse number to better reflect modern usage. It is a valid edit, but because I added the original Wherry Summary, I kinda felt it wouldn't be right for me to do it myself. I think previously I had toyed with adding a referenced fact, that 'coincidently' serves as a disclaimer, along the lines of what I mentioned above. I have yet had time to reaquaint myself with a supporting source (which, I believe would be in one of the prefaces to the later editions of Sale's Quran)....ah. I now see there is a similar issue at Quran 1. JorgeLaArdilla (talk) 09:21, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
