The Miraculous use of Numbers in the Holy Qur'an

The miraculous nature of the use of numbers in the Holy Qur'an is capable of convincing any stubborn nature, especially if we, bear in mind that the Holy Qur’an was inspired in a period of over twenty years – Hence, the most calculating mind could not have kept this balance over such a long period. Therefore, it must nave come from God the All- Knowing the All- Merciful.

This heavenly balance could not be a mere coincidence, therefore we can say that this phenomenon is but one of God's great signs.

Abd El Razzak Nofal covered this Holy sign in three volumes "the Miraculous use of Numbers in the Holy Qur'an". He makes it clear that certain words are equally mentioned, in spite of the fact that they are widely spread in the various chapters of the Holy Qur’an. I will give you as a specimen a limited number of them:

1) This "world" and "the other world" are equally mentioned – 115 times- in spite of the fact that in many cases they are not mentioned in the same chapter.

2) "Angels" and "devils" are equally mentioned 68 times, while their derivatives are also equally mentioned 20 times each, this makes a total of 88 times.

3) Human "life" and "death and their derivatives are equally mentioned 145 times each.

4) "Sight" and "insight" each is mentioned 148 times, which is equal to the same number of times that the "heart" is mentioned.

5) "Good deeds" and "evil deeds" with their derivatives are equally mentioned 167 times each.

6) "Hell" and "punishment" are equally mentioned 26 times each.

7) "Knowledge" and "learning" with their derivatives are equally mentioned 811 times, which is the same number that the word "faith" and its derivatives are each mentioned. This fact shows to what extent Islam values knowledge and learning, which are equal to "faith".

8) What is really amazing is that the "Merciful" is mentioned 57 times, while the "Compassionate" is mentioned 114 times which is the number of chapters of the Holy Qur’an.

9) It is very strange that in the Holy Qur'an, "inspiration", "Islam", and "resurrection" with their derivatives are mentioned – 70 times each-

10) "Magic" and "infatuation" are each mentioned 60 times; as if God wants to attract our attention to the similarity of the effect of both.

11) "Fire" and its derivatives and "heathen" are each mentioned 154 times.

12) "Fasting" and "Patience" are mentioned in the Holy Qur'an in equal numbers.

13) "Brain" and "light" are equally mentioned 49 times each.

14) "Love" and "obedience" with all their derivatives are mentioned 83 times each.

15) "Generosity" and "reward" are mentioned 20 times each.

16) "Temptation" and "sin" are both mentioned 22 times each.

17) "Forgiveness" and its derivatives are mentioned 234 times which is double the number of times that the word "Punishment" with all its derivatives is mentioned. This shows God's bounty and compassion towards His creatures.

18) The word "month" is mentioned 12 times, while the word "day" is mentioned 365 times!!!

19) One of the most significant signs in the Holy Qur’an is the use of numbers in the chapter "The cave", where God says:

And they tarried in the cave three hundred years,

and to that they added nine more.

Dr. El Fandy comments on this verse saying:



This verse miraculously transfers 300 solar years exactly to 309 lunar years!!!

In the light of the recent careful astronomical measurements and exact estimates, it became evident that:

1)The average duration of the lunar months 29.550329 days.

2)One solar year equals 365.2411 days, so that the total number of days in 300 solar years is

300 x 365.2422 =109572.66 days, and the total number of days in 309 lunar years is

12 x 309 x 29.550329 = 109572.66 days.[93]



This balance and numerical co. ordination could not have occurred by chance, but they must have been coordinated by the Great Creator; and they surely have a meaning or certain significances, some of which we have pointed out.

What kind of human power, or what electronic mind could have placed such equal numbers of words in similar and contradictory themes, and then spread them out in the different verses of the Holy Qur'an, and in the most perfect way?

Perfect balance and minute co-ordination is what characterizes all the creation of God in the universe and in Man, the Holy Qur'an reflects this extremely accurate system as if God wants to tell us: these are My words and that is my creation.

Nobody could deny this miraculous phenomenon, because it deals with numbers and numbers always have one meaning i.e. the whole truth. It is a clear evidence of the truthfulness of what the illiterate prophet Mohammed had said, and that the Holy Qur'an is but the true inspiration from God.
