Sura (Arabic: سورة), in technical usage, means a part of Qur'an that has a coherent content and has a beginning and an ending. Qur'an has 114 suras beginning with sura al-Hamd and ending with sura al-Nas. Suras of Qur'an, except for sura al-Tawba, begin with "bism Allah" (In the name of Allah the All-beneficent the All-merciful) phrase. The word "sura" is used 8 times in singular form and 1 time in plural form. There's a disagreement about the order of suras being Tawqifi (specified by Allah) or Ijtihadi (by judgment of the companions). | Sura (Arabic: سورة), in technical usage, means a part of Qur'an that has a coherent content and has a beginning and an ending.

The third opinion is that the order of suras are a mix of being Tawqifi and Ijtihadi; meaning that when there was a command from the Prophet (s) about the place of a sura it is obeyed, and when there wasn't, the suras are ordered by the companions who collected Qur'an. | Some other considered the order of suras as Ijtihadi and being ordered by the judgment of the companions who collected Qur'an.
