The Holy Quran is the final and most complete revelation from Allah, sent as a guidance for all of humanity.

At Al Madina Online Quran Academy, we help students of all ages understand the Quran with clarity, covering everything from basic reading to tafseer, tajweed, and memorization.

There are 114 Surahs (chapters) in the Quran.

Each Surah varies in length — some are very short, like Surah Al-Kawthar (3 verses), while others are long, like Surah Al-Baqarah (286 verses). These Surahs were revealed over 23 years to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in Makkah and Madinah.
