WHAT DOES AYAH MEAN IN ENGLISH?

ayah

Ayah

Ayah (or Aayah; Arabic: آية‎ āyah, plural: ayat (ayaat) آيات āyāt) means "evidence" or "sign". In the context of Islam's principal scripture, the Qur'an, ayah is used to mean "verse", i.e. each statement or paragraph marked by a number. "These are the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, revelations, etc.) of God, which We recite to you (O Muhammad) with truth. Then in which speech after God and His signs will they believe?" – Ayah 6 of "Al-Jathiya", the 45th surat (chapter) of the Qur'an (Mohsin Khan translation). Although meaning "verse" when using the Qur'an, it is doubtful whether "ayah" means anything other than "sign" or "remarkable event" in the Qur'an's text. The "signs" refer to various phenomena, ranging from the universe, its creation, the alternation between day and night, rainfall, the life and growth plants, etc. Other references are to miracles or to the rewards of belief and the fate of unbelievers. For example: A 16th-century Qur'an opened to show sura (chapter) 2, ayat (verses) 1-4.
