Summary
The surahs of the Quran fall into four categories: Al-Sab'u Al-Tiwal, Al-Miin, Al-Mathani and Al-Mufassal. These names and categories were stated by the Prophet SAW in a hadith narrated by Imam Ahmad, whose chain is graded hasan. Al-Mufassal is further divided into three parts: al-Tiwal, al-Awsat and al-Qisar. Scholars differ on where Al-Mufassal begins, with views including Surah Qaf, Surah Al-Hujurat (the view of Imam Al-Nawawi) and Surah Muhammad.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, surah-surah di dalam Al-Quran terbahagi kepada empat iaitu Al-Sab'u Al-Tiwal, Al-Miin, Al-Mathani dan Al-Mufassal.
