Different Surah Names

For example, Ḥā-mīm al-Sharīʿa instead of al-Jāthiya (Q. 45), al-Nabī instead of al-Taḥrīm (Q. 66), al-ʿIshār instead of al-Takwīr (Q. 81), al-Ḥafaẓa instead of al-Infiṭār (Q. 82), al-Nāqa instead of al-Shams (Q. 91), and al-Zabāniyya instead of al-ʿAlaq (Q. 96).

The Surah order represents reports of Ibn Mas'uds Quran:

The ʿUthmānic order and Ibn Masʿūd's are similar in eight—or, according to Ibn al-Nadīm, in twelve places. The similarity of arrangement of sūras in standard ʿUthmānic and Ibn Masʿūd's version occurs in the following eight positions: Hūd (11) – Yūsuf (12), al-ʿAnkabūt (29) – al-Rūm (30), Sabaʾ (34) – Fāṭir (35), al-Zumar (39) – Ghāfir (40), Fuṣṣilat (41) – al- Shūrā (42), al-Takwīr (81) – al-Infiṭār (82), al-Humaza (104) – al-Fīl (105) – Quraysh (106), and al-Masad (111) – al-Ikhlāṣ (112). Ibn Nadīm, on the authority of Faḍl b. Shādhān, adds four other positions: al-Dhāriyāt (51) – al-Ṭūr (52), al-Mursalāt (77) – al-Nabaʾ (78), al-Inshiqāq (84) – al-Burūj (85), and al-Ḍuḥā (93) – al-Sharḥ (94).
