For other meanings, see
Sura (disambiguation). Sura (sometimes spelt "Surah" , plural "Suwar" ) is an
Arabic term literally meaning "something enclosed or surrounded by a fence or wall." The term is commonly used to mean a "chapter" of the
Qur'an, each of which is traditionally ordered roughly in order of decreasing length. Each Sura is named for a word or name mentioned in an
ayah (section), of that 'Sura'. Some 'Sura' were surprising to Muslims at the time of the 'Revelation'; for example, the elevated status of
Mary - a Jewish woman and the mother of the Christian
Jesus at the time of the 'Revelation' - which is mentioned in
Sura 19 ("Maryam/Mary").
