The words that end the verses are called "fawasil" (separators). If we count the number of these fawasil that end the verses of Surat Al-Jinn, we will find that it equals twenty-eight (28). After removing the repeated fawasil, the number of remaining fawasil will be nineteen (19). They are: 'ajaban, ahadan, waladan, shatatan, kadhiban, rahaqan, tashabbuban, rasedan, rushdan, taqaddudan, haraban, hataban, ghadaqan, sa'dan, talabbudan, tamalluhedan, abadan, 'adadan, amadan.

3. The letters that are included in the formation of the twenty-eight (28) fawasil of this blessed surah are: alif, ba, jim, dal, ha, waw, za, ha, ta, kaf, lam, mim, 'ayn, sad, qaf, ra, shin, ta, dhal, ghayn. Their number is nineteen (19) letters.

4. The number of fawasil that end with the syllable "dan", such as "ahadan" and "'adadan", is nineteen (19) fawasil.

5. The number of letters in the fawasil of Surat Al-Jinn is 114 letters, which is 19 x 6. This number is the same as the number of the noble Qur'anic surahs. It should be noted that when calculating the letters of the fawasil, the letter "waw" in the word "wa shahaban" is not included. We are talking about the letters of the fawasil, not the letters of the last word in each verse. As mentioned earlier regarding the number of letters in these fawasil, the last letter was for the final fasila, which is "'adadan". Therefore, two matters are combined in this fasila: a. The number of correct counts mentioned in the noble Qur'an, as the order of this fasila in the surah is 285. b. The number of the noble Qur'anic surahs, as the order of the last letter of this fasila among all the letters of the fawasil is 114.

6. The total repetitions of the letters of the fasila "'adadan" in Surat Al-Jinn is (37+54+54+216) = 361, which is 19 x 19.
