Building Qur’anic Plurality

By Burhanuddin

Alqur’an is a text which is rich in symbol and metaphor, and therefore it is open to multiple interpretation. The Alqur’an text with its 6660 verses and 144 sura has been interpreted into thousands of books of tafseer (interpretation). The number of mufassir (interpreters) who are engaged in using different methods and interpretations are similarly uncountable.

I am wondering.  Such basic fact as the number of Suras in the Al-Quran is very wel known among Muslim at primary school level. Are all these for real?
He! He!
