113. i may be wrong. there are 114 surah"s in Quran Gooneri, thanks for the correction. i will look for it .
114 times - once at the beginning of every sura except Al tawba and there is an extra one in the middle of surat Al Naml so that adds upto 114. @alex: no problem bro...i cheked it out for you, it's verse 30 in surat al naml which has the basmallah in it: http://www.islamicity.com/QuranSearch/
114? Now let me think how I can make this fit into science...what number of things 114 can represent this great knowledge that quran has foretold...
its 114 times cos ther are 114 surah s & surah tawba doesnt start wid bismilliah...therefore one in the middle of surat Al Naml so that adds upto 114.
114
Total Surahs in Quran are 114 but Bismillah is with 113. Allah didn't start Surah At-Taubah with Bismillah because in this Surah Allah commanded Prophet Mohammad to read this ultimatum (in this Surah) from Allah that Athiests have four months from this day to either convert as Muslims, or go away from the Holy lands of Arabia. Allah commanded Muslims that after four months if you find atheists any where in Arabian peninsula, kill them. Allah shows lot of anger against the Athiests after having patience with them for 22 years. They persecuted Muslims for bad in early years that they killed some of the poor Muslims who were slaves and no one could protect them. Because of persecution Muslims had to leave their homes in Mecca, and had to migrate to other cities. They confined Prophet Mohammad and all his Hashimite tribe for three years in the valley between two mountains and all passages to supply them food were blocked. During these years Prophet's uncle and wife died because of starvation. Then Prophet himself had to flee to Madina. After that Athiest went to kill Mohammad and all his follower Muslims three times to Madina. In these three wars lots of men were killed on both sides. Then Athiest realized they can not kill Muslims, so they signed a treaty with Prophet Mohammad for having peace for ten years. They violated the treaty by killing a Muslim in Mecca. Then Athiest realized that being treaty abolished from their side, Muslims can come and attack on Mecca. So their leader Abdu Sufyan came to Madina to request Prophet to reinstate the treaty, Prophet even refused to talk to him. Abu Sufyan realized that Muslims will attack on Mecca so Abu Sufyan went again to Madina and accepted Islam on the hands of Prophet himself. He was hoping that his this action will stop Prophet attacking on Mecca. But Prophet's mission was to establish Monotheism in Kaaba as Prophet Abraham did over 3000 years ago. Spon he went to Mecca with 10,000 soldiers fully armed. Not a single Meccan atheist came to fight with them and hid in their homes. Since no one came to fight, Prophet announced a general amnesty forgiving all people of Mecca for persecution and killing of Muslims they did in past. He didn't harm any one for revenge. After this announcement Atheist kept comming in large number from all over the Arabia and accepted Islam and Mohammad as Prophet. Prophet destroyed all idols they had inside Kaaba, had it washed inside out with water and appointed only pious Muslims to take charge of Kaab and hospitality services for all people who came there for performing Haj. Kaaba was once again announced as pure center of Monotheistic religion Islam as Abraham did over 3000 years ago.
Assalamualaikom Warahmatullahhi Wabarakatuh! 1. The figure nineteen (19) is mentioned in Surah Muddassir No 74:30. In Holy Qur’aan most of the figures are divisible by 19. 2. Holy Qur’aan has 114 Surahs and 114 is divisible by 19.114 / 19=6. 3. Every Surah starts with “Bismillah” (In the name of ALLAH. The Holy Qur’an is the word of ALLAH; therefore it starts in the name of ALLAH. 4. In the name of ALLAH is “Bismillah-hir-Rahman-nir- Raheem.” It has 19 Arabic letters in it. Can you see the miracle of the Holy Quran? The simple answer to your question: ~"Bismillah hir Rahmaan nir Raheem" appears 114 times in the Holy Quran. ~"Bismillah" is written before each Surah in the Holy Quran except in Surah Tauba, but is also written in Surah Namal. ~The "Bismillah" that is written in the beginning of each Surah is not a part of any Surah but it is part of the Holy Quran and continuos Ayah.
We should say bismillah hirahmanir rohim if we first read the Qur'an.Qur'an has 114 surah or subtitle so Qur'an has 114 bismillah hirahmanir rahim..But bismillah in the first surah Al Fatihah is included in the number of verses (7 verses including bismillah).Bismillah in other surahjs (113) is not inluded as the number of verses.Bismillah is put for placing the different as the start of the new surah.
The woman said, 'O chiefs undoubtedly there has been cast a noble letter towards me. Undoubtedly, it is from Sulaiman and it is by the name of Allah, the Most Affectionate, and the Merciful. [Al-Quran, Surah Al-Naml, Ayahs 29-30]
OK, the only surah that have Basmalah in the middle is surah an-naml, but there is one surah that doesnt start with a basmalah, which is at-auba, so altogether, 114
