A sura (also spelled surah, Arabic: سورة‎ sūrah) is a chapter of the Qur'an. Of the 114 sura in the Qur'an, 87 are classified as Meccan and were revealed at Mecca while 27 are Medinan and were revealed at Medina. The shortest surah (Al-Kawthar) has only three ayat (verses) while the longest (Al-Baqara) contains 286 ayat.
