    }
}   
 
getdata()

Instead of writing such a complicated for loop, you can just use the .insertMany() method on the model

const API = 'http://api.alquran.cloud/v1/quran/quran-uthmani'

async function getdata(){
    const res = await fetch(API);
    const data = await res.json();
    try{
        const inserted = await surah.insertMany(data.data.surahs); 
    }catch(e){
        console.log("Some error");
        console.log(e);
    }
}   
 
getdata()

the following is a complete working snippet

import mongoose from 'mongoose';
import fetch from 'node-fetch';

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/Quran');

const SurahSchema = mongoose.Schema({
  ayahs: [
    {
      number: Number,
      numberInSurah: Number,
      text: String,
    },
  ],
  englishName: String,
  englishNameTranslation: String,
  name: String,
  number: Number,
  revelationType: String,
});

const surah = mongoose.model('Surah', SurahSchema);

const API = 'http://api.alquran.cloud/v1/quran/quran-uthmani';

async function getdata() {
  const res = await fetch(API);
  const data = await res.json();
  try {
    const inserted = await surah.insertMany(data.data.surahs);
    console.log(inserted);
    process.exit(0);
  } catch (e) {
    console.log('Some error');
    console.log(e);
    process.exit(0);
  }
}

getdata();
