How the keyword counts were calculated
All 6,236 local English verse translations were searched case-insensitively using the expressions below. Each matching verse counts once per group. Translation wording, chosen keywords and grouping affect the results. A relevant verse may not match any keyword; a match may not represent the main subject of that verse. This tool is not a scholarly topical index.

Questions worth reading closely
For Muslim and non-Muslim readers alike: begin with the text, recognize context, and leave room for thoughtful disagreement. These guides address common questions without reducing a religion—or its followers—to a stereotype.
Women’s inheritance
The Quran explicitly assigns inheritance shares to women as well as men. The detailed shares vary by family relationship; this is not a statement that every heir receives the same amount.
Spiritual responsibility
Believing men and women are addressed side by side in a list of virtues and promised forgiveness and reward.
Respect within marriage
Women must not be inherited against their will, and husbands are instructed to live with them in kindness. Read this alongside the wider passages on family relationships.
Justice beyond self-interest
Justice includes truthful testimony even when it is against oneself or one’s family. Hostility toward others is not a reason to act unjustly.
Religious conviction
The Quran rejects compulsion in religion. Understanding religious freedom in history and law also requires reading the surrounding text and the diversity of interpretation.
Diversity & shared humanity
Peoples and tribes are described as a setting for knowing one another; ancestry is not presented as the measure of moral worth.
Relations with others
Kindness and justice toward people who have not fought believers because of religion or driven them from their homes are not forbidden. The adjacent verse addresses hostile conduct.
Conflict has a context
A passage authorizing fighting against those who fight the believers also prohibits transgression. Verse 5:32 recalls a teaching prescribed to the Children of Israel about life; it should not be detached from that framing.
Care is practical
Righteousness is connected with giving to relatives, orphans, people in need, travelers and others, alongside belief, prayer and keeping promises.
Quran facts: common questions
How many surahs and verses are in the Quran?
This edition has 114 surahs and 6,236 numbered verses, using the verse numbering in its source text. Other verse-counting traditions differ in where verse boundaries are placed. A juz is one of 30 reading divisions and can cross surah boundaries.
What are the main subjects of the Quran?
Recurring subjects include belief in God, revelation, worship, moral responsibility, the afterlife, prophetic stories, mercy, justice and human relationships. The keyword chart on this page is an exploratory view of one English translation, not a definitive ranking of these themes.
What does the Quran say about women’s rights?
Among other passages, 4:7 assigns women inheritance shares, 4:19 instructs kindness in marriage and rejects inheriting women against their will, and 33:35 addresses men and women together in spiritual responsibility and reward. These examples do not replace contextual study of the wider text or its diverse interpretations.
Can non-Muslims use Graphical Quran?
Yes. The illustrated readers, translations, recitation and educational pages can be explored without an account. Historical illustrations and explanatory notes are learning aids, distinct from Quranic text and tafsir.
Are the topic counts exact Quranic subject statistics?
No. They are reproducible English keyword-match counts in this edition. One verse can match several groups, and many relevant verses contain none of the selected terms. Counts depend on the chosen translation, expressions and grouping.
Sources & methodology
Structural totals and keyword counts were calculated from the 114 local surah text files and the 30-juz directory. The local English edition is Sahih International; Arabic text was originally obtained through AlQuran Cloud. Topic guides are editorial summaries linked to their verses, with Quran.com translations and tafsir for contextual comparison. Updated October 18, 2026.
