length of Quran==
can somebody tell me, how many syllables are there in the Quran, and how long a period is intended by "an eigth of a reading of the Quran" (viz., how long does it typically take to recite the entire Quran?)  (ᛏ) 

 It takes about 30-35 hours to recite the entire Qur'an, although the speed at which the qari' recites can make that time longer or shorter. It will tend to be on the higher end of that range if it is recited during tarawih prayer, which requires that the Sura Al-Fatiha be recited hundreds of times.
