Ayah
This article is about the Qur'an. For the Hindi word for "nurse," see Amah.
Ayah ( , plural Ayat ) is the Arabic word for sign or miracle. The word usually refers to each one of the 6236 verses[1] found in the Qur'an (6348 ayat counting the basmalas). Muslims regard each ayah of the Qur'an as a sign from God.
