Here is a chart from Wikipedia, about the major sections of the Qur'an. 


On page 27 of my Study Quran (above), the footnote has these lovely verses:

We are nearer to him than his jugular vein (50:16)

God comes between a man and his heart (8:24)

And you do not will but that God, the Lord of the worlds, wills (81:29)

When My servants ask thee about Me, truly I am near. I answer the call of the caller when he calls Me. So let them respond to Me and believe in Me, that they may be led aright (2:186).

Unto God belongs intercession altogether (39:44)
