| dc.description | According to a thirteenth-century compilation of quranic knowledge – a ¯ medieval ‘companion to the Quran’ – the Arabic Qur ¯ an contains 323,015 ¯ letters, 77,439 words, more than 6,000 verses and 114 chapters or suras. ¯ 1 This makes it a rather modestly sized text when contrasted with the Upanishads, the Mahabharata and the Pali canon of Buddhist writings. But why would these titles come immediately to mind as the point of comparison? The quick answer to that question lies in their classification as ‘scripture’ or ‘sacred text’ or ‘holy writ’ or ‘divine word’ or even ‘classics’. | - |
