How many pages in Quran?

Al Quran is the holy book of Islam, which was revealed by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). The question of How many pages are in the Quran is perplexing. Several publications print the Quran, and the Number of pages in the Quran depends on many factors such as font size, page size, line spacing, character spacing, page layout margins, etc. The standard size that contains just Arabic text consists of around 600-610 pages.

The Number of pages in the Quran will double when the Translation is also included and may be quadrupled if the book contains Arabic text + Translation in any language as well as Tafsir/Explanation of all the verses that may contain relevant Hadiths, Quotes, etc to explain the context of any particular verse. This may drastically increase the Number of pages. But the Arabic version is most popular among Muslims as they like to read the Arabic Quran daily as we can see the rewards in hadith;

Narrated Muhammad bin Ka’b Al-Qurazi: “I heard ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud saying: ‘The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ” [Whoever recites a letter] from Allah’s Book, then he receives the reward from it, and the reward of ten the like of it. I do not say that Alif Lam Mim is a letter, but Alif is a letter, Lam is a letter, and Mim is a letter.”
