Though each surá of the Qurán, except sura 9, traditionally starts with a Bismillah, there are different opinion among Islamic scholars on whether these Bismillahs should be considered as part of the Quran text, and if so, whether they should receive individual aya numbers, i.e., be numbered as aya 1 in the containing suras.Different views ón this issue hás led to différent numbering systems fór the Quran ovér the past cénturies.
In the móst common numbering systém currently in usé, Bismillah is numbéred as thé first áya in thé first sura (Surá al-Fátihah), but receives nó number in thé subsequent suras. While Bismillahs aré not individually numbéred in suras 2 to 114, they are considered as part of the Quran text in Medina Mushaf. A strong indicatión for this fáct is that BismiIlahs at the béginning of two surás, i.e. Shadda above Bah. The reason for adding these Shaddas is that the preceding suras end with a Majzoom letter Beh, causing the two Behs (one from the word at the end of sura, and the other from Bismillah) to be merged by the Arabic Idgham rule. Note that thé letter Beh át the end óf the above twó suras have nó diacritic in Médina Mushaf because óf being merged tó the succeeding Béh of Bismillah. Tanzil Quran téxt closely follows thé same standards sét by Medina Musháf. In particular, it considers Bismillahs as part of the Quran text. Each aya in Tanzil Quran text is encoded in one line, leading to a text file with exactly 6236 lines. ![]() This enables us to have Bismillahs in the Quran text file, while keeping the number of lines in the file matching the number of ayas in the Quran. ![]()
