The answer

Differences have arisen regarding the number of verses in the Quran, but the Muslim nation is in agreement that what is present in the , which consists of one hundred and fourteen surahs, is the Quran that Allah revealed to Muhammad (peace be upon him). Ibn al-Arabi believes that counting the verses is one of the intractable issues of the Quran. This difference does not discredit the Quran; rather, it stems from the scholars' disagreement in counting some verses, which might sometimes be counted as a single verse and at other times as more, while they all agree that everything is Quran, with no addition or subtraction from it.
