How the surah is built
- 30 verses, 333 words — an average of 11.1 words a verse.
- Longest verses: verses 3 and 9, 18 words each. Shortest: verse 11, 5 words.
- Two sections (rukūʿ): verses 1–14 and 15–30.
- Three mushaf pages: page 562 (verses 1–12), page 563 (verses 13–26), page 564 (verses 27–30).
- First surah of juz 29, which is why that juz is called Juz Tabārak; it is in hizb 57 and manzil 7.
- No prostration (sajdah) verse.
What it repeats
- “Say” (qul): 6 verses begin with the command to the Prophet ﷺ to say something — verses 23, 24, 26, 28, 29 and 30. All of them fall in the last 8 verses (23–30).
- Allah is named 3 times, and ar-Raḥmān, the Most Merciful, 4 times. All the names of Allah in the surah.
- Warner / warning (nadhīr): 4 times — verses 8, 9, 17 and 26. The keepers of the Fire ask “did no warner come to you?” (67:8); its people admit one did (67:9); the deniers are told they will know how His warning was (67:17); and the Prophet ﷺ is told to say “I am only a clear warner” (67:26).
Words in each verse
Counted with the word-by-word segmentation of the Quranic Arabic Corpus. Other counting conventions give slightly different totals.
In the hadith
The hadith describe it by its length — “a surah of thirty verses” — and name it by its first word, Tabārak. 5 authentic narrations about it are collected, with references and gradings, on the virtues page.
Where the figures come from
Juz, hizb, manzil, rukūʿ, page and sajdah data are Tanzil’s metadata for the Madinah mushaf. The order of revelation (77th) is the traditional order in the same metadata; lists of the order of revelation differ slightly between scholars, so treat it as approximate.
