From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
One thousand one (1001, MI) is the natural number following one thousand and preceding one thousand two. Its factorization
makes it a sphenic number.
The number is sometimes used as a generic term for "many":
- 1001 uses for...
- 1001 ways to...
- 1001 Arabian Nights, in Arabic Alf layla wa layla, which literally translates as "One thousand nights and a night".

In the Mawlawiyyah order of Sufi Islam, a novice must complete 1001 days of prayer before becoming a dada, or junior teacher of the faith.
There are countless book titles starting with 1001. About twice as many books currently in print start with 1001 as with 1000. This marketing scheme is used to imply that the customer is getting a little extra information beyond books that have only 1000 items. For example:
