What Page Is Each Surah On? 114 Surahs, 3 Mushaf Editions

Blog Mushaf editions 9 min read Published 31 August 2026 Updated 5 September 2026

It depends on the printing. Surah Al-Ikhlas starts on page 604 in the 604-page Madani mushaf, page 609 in the IndoPak 610, and page 610 in the Naskh 612. There is no single correct page number for a surah, only a page number for a given edition. The complete 114-row table is below.

Key facts

Three printings cover most of what people read from: Madani 604 pages, IndoPak 610 pages, Naskh 612 pages.
The text is identical in all three: 114 surahs, 6,236 ayat, 77,429 words by our tokenizer. Only the page breaks move.
Madani and IndoPak start pages match exactly for 59 of 114 surahs, and sit within one page of each other for 72.
From surah 69 onward the IndoPak page runs ahead of the Madani page, by 5 or 6 pages for surahs 87 through 114.
In this data every Naskh 612 page number is the IndoPak 610 number plus exactly one, start and end, for all 114 surahs.
Average density: 128.2 words per Madani page (77,429 divided by 604), 126.9 per IndoPak page.
30 surahs fit on a single Madani page. 48 fit on two pages or fewer.

Why the question has three answers

Why the three editions diverge at all is a separate question, and this page answers only the practical one. The text does not change between printings. The layout does, and so, in a smaller way, does the spelling: Tanzil publishes the same text in two script families, Uthmani and the modern Imlaei, and a word that carries a superscript alif in one carries a written one in the other. Width follows spelling, and page breaks follow width. An edition is a set of decisions about lines per page and how much of each line is filled, and once those decisions are fixed, every page break in the book follows from them. Most answers you find online give one number and never say which printing it came from, which is why two people with different copies both think the other is wrong.

Madani, 604 pages

The King Fahd Complex layout from Madinah, 15 lines to a page apart from the opening pages, and laid out so that pages end on a complete ayah. This is the layout most digital Qurans and most page-image sets use, and the one most people mean when they say a page number without qualifying it. Al-Fatihah is page 1, An-Nas is page 604.

It is also the layout other public catalogues assume without saying so. Quran.com’s chapters endpoint carries its own page range for every surah and gives Al-Baqarah pages 2 to 49, which is the Madani column below, fetched 7 September 2026.

IndoPak, 610 pages

The layout read across the subcontinent, in a different calligraphic hand with different orthographic conventions. It agrees with the Madani layout for most of the book, matching the Madani page for 78% of all ayat, and then drifts in the last two juz. Al-Fatihah is page 1, An-Nas is page 610.

Naskh, 612 pages

In this data the Naskh set is the IndoPak layout offset by one leaf. Every surah’s Naskh start page and end page equals its IndoPak page plus one, for all 114 surahs with no exceptions. At ayah level there is exactly one departure in 6,236: ayah 6:73 falls on IndoPak page 136 but Naskh page 138. The text runs from page 2 to page 611, so a 612-page file holds 610 pages of Quran. If your copy is Naskh, take the IndoPak column and add one.

Where the editions agree, and where they split

Madani and IndoPak agree on the start page for 59 surahs outright. For 9 more, IndoPak starts one page earlier: Al-Hijr, Al-Hajj, Ash-Shu’ara, An-Naml, As-Saffat, Sad, Ad-Dukhan, Al-Jathiyah and Muhammad. Through surah 68 the two are never more than one page apart.

The split opens in the last two juz. Al-Haqqah (69) is 1 page ahead in IndoPak. Al-Muzzammil (73) is 2 ahead. Al-Insan (76) is 4. From Al-A’la (87) to An-Nas (114) the offset holds at 5 or 6.

The reason is density, and the numbers show it. The juz that fills those last pages, juz 30, opens at 78:1 and runs pages 582 to 604 in the Madani mushaf, 23 pages, and it contains 2,308 words. That is 100 words per page against a book average of 128. Short surahs mean more headings, more basmalah lines and more white space, so the last juz is where a layout choice costs or saves the most paper. IndoPak spends 25 pages on the same juz.

Page numbers agree for most of the book and separate in the last two juz, where short surahs put more headings and white space on the page. Computed from the 114 row table below by subtracting the Madani column from the IndoPak column.

One more wrinkle inside a single edition. The app carries two digital lineages of the same 604-page Madani layout, the v1 image lineage and the QCF V4 lineage. They disagree on which page 56 individual ayat land on. All 114 surah start pages are identical between them. So even inside one named edition, “what page” is settled at surah level and still contested at ayah level.

All 114 surahs, start page by edition

These are start pages. Many short surahs share a page with the one before, so numbers repeat down the tail of the table.

Using the numbers to plan

A full reading in 30 days is 604 divided by 30, which is 20.13 Madani pages a day, and how long the whole Quran takes turns that into minutes at three reading speeds. On IndoPak it is 610 divided by 30, or 20.33 pages, and Naskh has the same 610 pages of text. In ayat that is 6,236 divided by 30, or 207.9 a day. In words it is 77,429 divided by 30, or 2,581 a day.

The per-page arithmetic is worth doing once in your own copy. Time yourself on three pages, take the average, multiply by 20. At 90 seconds a page you are looking at 30 minutes a day. At two minutes a page, 40 minutes. The 6-page spread between editions is worth about a third of one day’s portion, which is the honest size of the difference: real enough to break a page-number bookmark, too small to change a plan.

How this site handles it

Every surah page in the Quran section carries its own start and end page in each edition, alongside its juz range, ayah count and word count. Those numbers are computed from the app’s own text and verified on two independent paths before they ship, because a page table that is wrong in one row is worse than no page table at all. The site serves the full Quran free, in many languages, with no account.

Common questions

What page does a surah start on?

It depends on the printing. Al-Ikhlas starts on page 604 in the 604 page Madani mushaf, page 609 in the IndoPak 610, and page 610 in the Naskh 612. There is no single correct page number for a surah, only a page number for a given edition.

Do Madani and IndoPak page numbers ever agree?

Often. Madani and IndoPak start pages match exactly for 59 of the 114 surahs, and sit within one page of each other for 72. From surah 69 onward the IndoPak page runs ahead, by 5 or 6 pages for surahs 87 through 114.

How do Naskh 612 page numbers relate to IndoPak 610?

In this data every Naskh 612 page number is the IndoPak 610 number plus exactly one, start and end, for all 114 surahs.

How many surahs fit on a single page?

Thirty surahs fit on a single Madani page, and 48 fit on two pages or fewer.

What page does Surah Ya-Sin start on?

Page 440 in the Madani 604, page 440 in the IndoPak 610, and page 441 in the Naskh 612. The Naskh number is the IndoPak number plus one, which holds for all 114 surahs in this data.

What page does Surah Al-Kahf start on?

Page 293 in the Madani 604, page 293 in the IndoPak 610, and page 294 in the Naskh 612.

Why do Quran page numbers differ between copies?

The text does not change between printings, the layout does. An edition is a set of decisions about lines per page and how much of each line is filled, and once those decisions are fixed, every page break in the book follows from them. All three printings carry the same 114 surahs, 6,236 ayat and 77,429 words.

Which surahs start a page earlier in IndoPak than in Madani?

Nine of them: Al-Hijr, Al-Hajj, Ash-Shu’ara, An-Naml, As-Saffat, Sad, Ad-Dukhan, Al-Jathiyah and Muhammad. Through surah 68 the two layouts are never more than one page apart.

Why do the editions drift apart at the end of the Quran?

Density. Juz 30 runs pages 582 to 604 in the Madani mushaf, 23 pages holding 2,308 words, which is 100 words per page against a book average of 128. Short surahs mean more headings, more basmalah lines and more white space, so the last juz is where a layout choice costs or saves the most paper, and IndoPak spends 25 pages on the same juz.

How many pages a day is a 30 day reading in each edition?

20.13 Madani pages a day, which is 604 divided by 30. On IndoPak it is 610 divided by 30, or 20.33 pages, and Naskh has the same 610 pages of text. In ayat that is 207.9 a day, and in words 2,581.
