The word “day” occurs 365 times in the Quran and the word “month” 12 times. Related words such as “world” and “Hereafter”, or “angel” and “Satan”, are repeated exactly the same number of times.

365: “day” (yawm) — singular
12: “month” (shahr)
115 = 115: “world” and “Hereafter”
Apart from the miraculous characteristics of the Qur’an which we have looked into so far, it also contains what we can term "mathematical miracles." There are many examples of this fascinating Qur’anic aspect. One example of this is the number of repetitions of certain words in the Qur’an. Some related words are surprisingly repeated the same number of times. Below is a list of such words and the number of repetitions in the Qur’an.
The statement of "seven heavens" ( saba‘a samawaat ) is repeated seven times. "The creation of the heavens" ( khalq al-samawaat ) is also repeated seven times.
"Day ( yawm )" is repeated 365 times in singular form, while its plural and dual forms "days" ( ayyaam and yawmayn ) together are repeated 30 times. The number of repetitions of the word "month" ( shahar ) is 12.
The number of repetitions of the words "plant" and "tree" is the same: 26 The word "payment or reward" is repeated 117 times, while the expression "forgiveness" ( mughfirah ), which is one of the basic morals of the Qur’an, is repeated exactly twice that amount, 234 times.
When we count the word "Say," we find it appears 332 times. We arrive at the same figure when we count the phrase "they said."
The number of times the words, "world" ( dunyaa ) and "Hereafter" ( aakhirah ) are repeated is also the same: 115 The word "satan" ( shaytaan ) is used in the Qur’an 88 times, as is the word "angels" ( mala’ikah ).
The word "faith" ( eemaan ) (without genitive) is repeated 25 times throughout the Qur’an as is also the word "infidelity" ( kufr ).
The words "Paradise" and "Hell" are each repeated 77 times.
The word " zakaah " is repeated in the Qur’an 32 times and the number of repetitions of the word "blessing" ( barakah ) is also 32. The expression "the righteous" (al-abraar) is used 6 times and "the wicked" (al-fujjaar) is used half as much, i.e., 3 times. The number of times the words "summer-hot" and "wintercold" are repeated is the same: 5. The words "wine" ( khamr ) and "intoxication" ( saqara ) are repeated in the Qur’an the same number of times: 6 The number of appearances of the words "mind" and "light" is the same: 49. The words "tongue" and "sermon" are both repeated 25 times. The words "benefit" and "corrupt" both appear 50 times. "Reward" ( ajr ) and "action" (fa‘il) are both repeated 107 times. "Love" ( al-mahabbah ) and "obedience" ( al-taa‘ah ) also appear the same number of times: 83 The words "refuge" ( maseer ) and "forever" ( abadan ) appear the same number of times in the Qur’an: 28. The words "disaster" ( al-museebah ) and "thanks" ( al-shukr ) appear the same number of times in the Qur’an: 75.
"Sun" ( shams ) and "light" ( noor ) both appear 33 times in the Qur’an.
In counting the word "light" only the simple forms of the word were included.
The number of appearances of "right guidance" ( al-hudaa )
and "mercy" ( al-rahmah ) is the same: 79 The words "trouble" and "peace" are both repeated 13 times in the Qur’an.
The words "man" and "woman" are also employed equally:
23 times.
The number of times the words "man" and "woman" are repeated in the Qur’an, 23, is at the same time that of the chromosomes from the egg and sperm in the formation of the human embryo. The total number of human chromosomes is 46; 23 each from the mother and father.
"Treachery" ( khiyaanah ) is repeated 16 times, while the number of repetitions of the word "foul" ( khabeeth ) is 16.
"Human being" is used 65 times: the sum of the number of references to the stages of man’s creation is the same: i.e.
The word " salaawaat " appear five times in the Qur’an, and Allah has commanded man to perform the prayer ( salat ) five times a day.
The word "land" appears 13 times in the Qur’an and the word "sea" 32 times, giving a total of 45 references. If we divide that number by that of the number of references to the land we arrive at the figure 28.888888888889%. The number of total references to land and sea, 45, divided by the number of references to the sea in the Qur’an, 32, is 71.111111111111%. Extraordinarily, these figures represent the exact proportions of land and sea on the Earth today.324
The miracle of 19 in the Quran
Surat al-Muddaththir says, “Over it are nineteen.” From the 19 letters of the Basmala to the 114 (19 × 6) suras and Pascal’s triangle, the number 19 is woven into the structure of the Quran like a code.
Basmala · Pascal · Facts modes
19: letters in the Basmala
114 = 19 × 6: suras in the Quran
57 = 19 × 3: sum of the first 19 numbers in Pascal’s triangle
Another mathematical miracle of the Qur’an is the manner in which the number 19 is numerologically encoded in verses. This number is stressed in the words of the Qur’an: " There are nineteen in charge of it. " (Qur’an, 74:30), and is encoded in various places in the Book. Some examples of this can be listed as follows:
The formula consists of 19 letters. The Qur’an consists of 114 (19 x 6) Suras. The first Sura to be revealed (Sura 96) is the 19th from the end. The first verses of the Qur’an to be revealed are the first five verses of Sura 96 and the total number of words in these verses is 19.
As we have seen, the first five verses consist of 19 words. The " " is a letter, not a word. Likewise, letters " " are not included in the calculation either.
The first Sura to be revealed, Surat al-’Alaq, consists of 19 verses and 285 (19 x 15) letters.
Surat an-Nasr, the final Sura to be revealed, consists of a total of 19 words.
Furthermore, the first verse of Surat an-Nasr, which speaks of the help of Allah, contains 19 letters.
There are 114 formulas in the Qur’an or 19 x 6.
A total of 113 Suras in the Qur’an start with the formula.
The only Sura not to start with one is the ninth, Surat at- Tawba. Surat an-Naml is the only Sura to have two formulas. One of these is at the beginning and the other in verse 30. Counting from Surat at-Tawba, which does not begin with the formula, Surat an-Naml follows 19 Suras on.
There is a formula at the beginning of the 27th Sura, Surat an- Naml, and in verse 30. There are thus two formulas in the 27th Sura. It is the formula in the 30th verse of the 27th Sura which completes the total of 114 formulas in the Qur’an. When we add together the number of the verse and the number of the Sura, 30 and 27, we find the number 57 (19 x 3).
The total number of Suras from Surat at-Tawba (9) to Surat an- Naml (27) is 342 (9 + 10 + 11 +12 +13 +14 +15 +16 + 17 + 18 + 19 + 20 + 21 + 22 + 23 + 24 + 25 + 26 + 27). That figure is 19 multiplied by 18.
The sum of all the occurrences of the name "Allah" in all the verses whose numbers are multiples of 19 (i.e., verses 19, 38, 57, 76, etc.) is 133, or 19 x 7.
The " abjad " value of the word " wahd " meaning "one" is 19.
This word is used with various other words in the Qur’an, such as one door, one variety of food. It is used 19 times together with the name "Allah."
The total of the Sura and verse numbers of the occasions when the word " wahd " appears 19 times is 361: (19 x 19).
The Arabic word " wahdahu ," meaning "worship only Allah," appears in the verses 7:70, 39:45, 40:12, 40:84 and 60:4. When these figures are added up without numbers being repeated, the resulting total is 361 (19 x 19).
The number of verses between the first initial letters (Alif, Lam, Mim; Surat al-Baqara 1) and the final initial letters (Nun; Surat al-Qalam 1) is 5,263 (19 x 277).
There are 38 (19 x 2) Suras without initial letters between the first Sura which has initial letters and the last to have them.
The word " Rahman " (All-Merciful) appears 57 (19 x 3) times in the Qur’an.
Thirty different numbers are mentioned in the Qur’an.
The total of these numbers (again without taking repetitions into account) is 162,146. This is 19 x 8,534:
In addition to these thirty numbers, the Qur’an also refers to eight fractions: 1/10, 1/8, 1/6, 1/5, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 and 2/3. The Qur’an thus contains a total of 38 (19 x 2) different numbers.
The Sura from the beginning to possess 19 verses is Surat al- Infitar. Another feature of this Sura is that its final word is "Allah." At the same time, this is the 19th appearance of the name "Allah" from the end.
The 50th Sura, which begins with the letter Qaf, contains a total of 57 (19 x 3) letters Qaf. There are also 57 letters Qaf in the 42nd Sura with a letter Qaf at the beginning. The 50th Sura contains 45 verses. Added together, these total 95 (19 x 5). There are 53 verses in the 42nd Sura. These again total 95 (42 + 53).
The abjad value of the word " Majeed ," used for the Qur’an, in the first verse of Surah Qaf is 57 (19 x 3). As we have stated above, the total number of letters Qaf is also 57.
When we add together the number of times that the letter Qaf appears in the Qur’an, we reach a total of 798 (19 x 42). Forty-two is the number of another Sura with Qaf among its initial letters.
The letter Nun appears at the beginning of only the 68th Sura. The total number of times it appears in that Sura is 133 (19 x 7).
When we add together the number of verses (including the formulas) in Suras the number of which are multiples of 19, the following is noteworthy:
The letters Ya and Sin appear at the beginning of Surah Ya Sin. The letter Sin appears 48 times in Surah Ya Sin and the letter Ya 237 times. The total of these letters is 285 (19 x 15).
Only one Sura, the seventh, begins with the initial letters "Alif, Lam, Mim, Sad." The letter Alif appears in this Sura 2,529 times, the letter Lam 1,530 times, the letter Mim 1,164 times and the letter Sad 97 times. These four letters thus appear a total of 2,529 + 1,530 + 1,164 + 97 times, or 5,320 (19 x 280) times.
The letters Alif, Lam and Mim are the most frequently used letters in Arabic. They appear together at the beginning of six Suras: numbers 2, 3, 29, 30, 31 and 32. The number of times these three letters appear in each of these six Suras is a multiple of 19. In order: 9,899 (19 x 521), 5,662 (19 x 298), 1,672 (19 x 88), 1,254 (19 x 66) and 817 (19 x 43). The total number of times all these three letters appear in the six Suras is 19,874 (19 x 1,046).
The initial letters Alif, Lam and Ra appear in Suras 10, 11, 12, 14 and 15. The total number of times these letters appear in these Suras is 2,489 (19 x 131), 2,489 (19 x 131), 2,375 (19 x 125), 1,197 (19 x 63) and 912 (19 x 48).
The frequency with which the initial letters Alif, Lam, Mim and Ra appear is 1,482 (19 x 78) in total. The letter Alif appears 605 times, Lam 480 times, Mim 260 times and Ra 137 times.
The initial letters Qaf, Ha, Ya, ’Ayn and Sad appear in only one Sura, the 19th. The letter Qaf appears 137 times in this Sura, Ha 175 times, Ya 343 times, ’Ayn 117 times and Sad 26 times. The total number of appearances of these five letters is 137 + 175 + 343 + 117 + 26 = 798 (19 x 42).
Other findings on this subject include:
In the whole of the Qur’an, - the word " atee‘ " (obey!) appears 19 times, - the words " ‘abd " (servant), " ‘aabid " (a person who serves) and "‘ abudu " (worship) appear a total of 152 (19 x 8) times, The numerical abjad values of some of the names of Allah given below are also multiples of 19:
Al-Jaami‘ (The Gatherer) 114 (19 x 6) The number 19 is the total of the numbers 9 and 10 to the power of 1. The difference between the numbers 9 and 10 to the power of 2 is again 19. The Sun, Moon and Earth line up in the same relative positions once every 19 years.325 Halley’s Comet passes through the Solar System once every 76 years (19 x 4).326
The place of the number 19 in the Pascal triangle
The total of the first 19 figures in the Pascal triangle is 38 (19 x 2). The total of the first 19 numbers in the Pascal triangle is 57 (19 x 3). Conclusion:
The total of the first 19 figures is a multiple of 19.
The total of the first 19 numbers is a multiple of 19.
The connection between the number 19 and the Pascal triangle with regard to the revelation sequence of the Qur’anic verses
The 96th Sura, the first revealed, comes 19 before the end. It consists of 19 verses and contains a total of 285 letters (19x15). The first five verses of the revelation contain 76 (19 x 4) letters. The first verses of the 68th Sura, the second to be revealed, consist of 38 (19 x 2) words. The third revelation, the 73rd Sura, contains 57 (19 x 3) words.
The Inimitability of the Qur'an
We have so far considered the miraculous characteristics of the Qur’an from the scientific and historical points of view.
We have so far considered the miraculous characteristics of the Qur’an from the scientific and historical points of view. In addition to these, the Qur’an also possesses an astounding, inimitable style from the literary perspective.
It first needs to be stated that the exposition in the Qur’an addresses all human groupings from all ages. No matter what the reader’s education and cultural level, the Qur’an is written in a clear, comprehensible language which can be understood by everyone. In one verse, Allah reveals the following about the Qur’an:
«We have made the Qur’an easy to remember(cid:201)»
Despite having such an easily comprehensible style, it has never been possible to imitate the Qur’an from any point of view. Some of the verses in which Allah draws attention to the inimitable nature of the Qur’an are:
«If you have doubts about what We have sent down to Our servant, produce another sura equal to it, and call your witnesses, besides Allah, if you are telling the truth.»
One of the reasons that the Qur’an is described as miraculous stems from the fact that, as emphasized in the verses above, nothing like it can ever be written by human endeavour: The greater the scale of that impossibility, the greater the size of the miracle which we see before our very eyes. Therefore, the fact that the style of the Qur’an has been incapable of imitation by even one out of the billions of people down the centuries is one of the proofs of its miraculous nature. In his book, The Construction of the Bible and the Qur’an, F. F. Arbuthnot makes the following comment about the Qur’an:
The words employed in the Qur’an are exceedingly special, both in terms of meaning and also of fluency and effect of style. However, those who are unwilling to believe that the Qur’an is a holy book in which Allah has revealed His commandments and prohibitions, have come up with a variety of excuses as to why they should not follow it. They have attempted to take refuge from its beauty by turning to denial. Allah reveals the following about the unbelievers’ descriptions of the Qur’an:
«We did not teach him poetry nor would it be right for him. It is simply a reminder and a clear Qur’an so that you may warn those who are truly alive and so that the word may be carried out against the unbelievers.»
The Superior Nature of the Rhyming Scheme in the Qur’an
Another of the elements which make the Qur’an inimitable stems from its literary structure. Despite being in Arabic, the Qur’an bears no similarity to the forms used in Arabic literature.
The rhyming system in the Qur’an is known as "rhymed prose" and linguists describe the use of this rhyme in the Qur’an as a miracle. In his book Science Miracles, a work prepared to demonstrate that the Qur’an is a linguistic miracle, the well-known British scientist Professor Adel M. A. Abbas carried out a wide-ranging study of the letters and rhyming scheme used in the Qur’an by means of graphics and diagrams. Some rather striking facts were established in this guide with regard to the rhyming system in the Qur’an.
As we know, 29 Suras in the Qur’an begin with one or more symbolic letters. These letters are known as " muqatta‘ah -letters" or "initial letters." Fourteen of the 29 letters in Arabic comprise these initial letters: Qaf, Sad, Ta, Ha, Ya, Sin, Alif, Lam, Mim, Kaf, ’Ayn, Nun, Ra, Ha.
Of these letters, when we look at the use of the letter "Nun" in Surat al-Qalam we see rhyming with the letter "Nun" in 88.8% of the verses. 84.6% of Surat ash- Shu’ara’, 90.32% of Surat an- Naml and 92.05% of Surat al- Qasas are rhymed with "Nun."
When applying these studies to the whole Qur’an, 50.08% is rhymed with the letter "Nun." To put it another way, more than half the verses in the Qur’an end with the letter "Nun." In no literary work of comparable length has it been possible to rhyme with a single sound in more than half the text. This applies to all languages, not just to Arabic.
Distribution of verses ending with the letter "Nun" from those suras beginning with initial letters:
When a general examination of the rhyme scheme in the Qur’an is made, we see that around 80% of the rhymes consist of just three sounds (n, m, a) consisting of the letters Alif, Mim, Ya and Nun328. Excluding the letter "Nun," 30% of the verses are rhymed with "Mim," "Alif" or "Ya."
The four most frequently employed sounds in rhymes:
The following verses are just a few of the many examples of rhymes using these four letters.
The formation of rhymed prose with just two or three sounds in a poem of 200-300 lines may give that work an important quality, sufficient for it to be described as a masterpiece by literary critics today. However, bearing in mind the length of the Qur’an, the information it contains and its wise exposition, the extraordinary manner in which its rhymed prose system is used becomes even clearer and more beautiful. The Qur’an indeed contains an ocean of information relating to a wide variety of subjects. They include: religious and moral guidance, lessons from the lives of the peoples of the past, the message of the prophets and messengers of Allah, the physical sciences and historical accounts of important events. But all of this, although wonderful in itself, is delivered with the most fantastic literary rhythm and excellence. It is simply not possible for so much rhymed prose by use of so few sounds in the Qur’an, with its varied and knowledgeable subject matter, to be achieved by human endeavour. From that point of view, it is not surprising that Arab linguists describe the Qur’an as "very definitely inimitable."
The Orbit of the Moon
The word "Qamar," a direct reference to the Moon, appears a total of 27 times. The elliptical orbit of the Moon around the Earth also takes 27 days.
This photograph of the Earth, taken by Bill Anders, one of the crew of Apollo 8, on December 24, 1968, was taken from the surface of the Moon. (NASA)
The word "Qamar," a direct reference to the Moon, appears a total of 27 times. The elliptical orbit of the Moon around the Earth also takes 27 days. But this is not a number that someone looking from Earth could actually determine. Because there is a 29-day period between full moons, it used to be thought it took the Moon this amount of time to travel around the Earth. However, the reality is that whilst the Moon revolves around the Earth, the Earth is also orbiting the Sun. Interestingly, because of the movement of the Earth, the Moon completes its orbit with a delay of 2 days. This is another reference in the Qur'an consistent with modern astronomical findings. (Allah knows the truth.)
◉ Number of times the word "Moon" appears in the Qur'an = 27
◉ Time it takes the Moon to travel round the Earth (in days) = 27
The ratio of land and sea
In the Quran, the word “land” occurs 13 times and the word “sea” 32 times. The ratio of these two numbers matches the actual proportions of land and water on the Earth’s surface — 28.9% and 71.1%.
the words drop in, then the ratio is calculated
13: “land” (barr)
32: “sea” (bahr)
32 / 45: = 71.11% — the share of water on Earth
The ratio of the appearances of the words "sea" and "land" in the Qur'an is identical to the ratio between sea and land in modern science. The continents had not yet been discovered at the time the Qur'an was sent down, and it was impossible to determine the ratio between the land and sea. Even such a large continent as America was only discovered in the 15th century.
The word "land" appears 13 times in the Qur'an, while "sea" appears 32 times. These numbers total 45. If we divide the number of references to land in the Qur'an, 13, by 45, the result is 28.8888888889%. When we divide the number of references to sea in the Qur'an, 32, by 45, the result is 71.1111111111%. These ratios are the exact ones that apply between water and dry land on Earth.
The repetition of these words in the Qur'an may be an indication that the Earth is 71% covered in water and 29% in dry land. (Allah knows the truth.) It has only been possible to arrive at this ratio in the present day, thanks to detailed satellite photos and intricate computer calculations.
◉ Number of times the word "land" appears in the Qur'an = 13
◉ Number of times the word "sea" appears in the Qur'an = 32
◉ Proportion of dry land to sea covering the Earth = 13/45 = 29%
◉ Proportion of sea to dry land on Earth = 32/45 = 71%
The Star Sirius
The fact that the word "Sirius," or "Shi'ra" in Arabic, appears only in the 49th verse is particularly noteworthy. Because, based on the irregularities in Sirius' orbit, scientists discovered it is actually a binary star.
"Sirius", the brightest star in the night sky, appears as "Shi'ira," meaning "star" in verse 49 of Surat an-Najm:
«That it is He Who is the Lord of Sirius [Shi'ira].»
The star Sirius A, in front, is larger than Sirius B. (NASA)
The fact that the word "Sirius," or "Shi'ra" in Arabic, appears only in the 49th verse is particularly noteworthy. Because, based on the irregularities in Sirius' orbit, scientists discovered it is actually a binary star. Therefore, Sirius is actually two stars, known as Sirius A and Sirius B. One feature of Sirius B is that cannot be seen by telescope.
The stars in Sirius system follow a course toward one another in the shape of a bow, and hang in the sky by approaching one another every 49.9 years. This scientific data has been unanimously confirmed by the astronomy departments at the universities of Harvard, Ottawa and Leicester.329 Yet this scientific fact that only emerged toward the end of the 20th century was miraculously referred to in the Qur'an to a Prophet in the middle of the Arabian Peninsula fourteen centuries ago. This miracle appears when we read the 9th and 49th verses of Surat al-Najm together.
The term "kana qaba qawsayni aw adna," in the ninth verse, translated as "two bow-lengths away or even closer," may be a reference to these two stars drawing closer to one another in their courses.(Allah knows the truth.) This scientific fact, which could not possibly have been known at the time of the revelation of the Qur'an, proves once again that the Qur'an is the word of our Almighty Lord.
◉ The star Sirius appears in the Surah called an-Najm, meaning "Star." The stars comprising Sirius approach one another in their courses once every 49.9 years.
◉ This astronomic phenomenon is indicated in verses 49 and 9 of Surat an-Najm.
The Atomic Number of Iron
Iron is one of the elements mentioned in the Qur'an. Allah says this in the Surah called "al-Hadid," or "Iron:"
Iron is one of the elements mentioned in the Qur'an. Allah says this in the Surah called "al-Hadid," or "Iron:"
«...And We sent down iron in which there lies great force and which has many uses for mankind...»
The word "anzalna," meaning "to send down," may also be thought of in the figurative sense of being placed at the service of human beings. But bearing in mind the true meaning of the word, which is "physically descending from the sky,"—used for rain and solar rays - then the verse can be seen to contain a hugely significant scientific miracle. Because modern astronomical findings have revealed that the iron on Earth came from giant stars in outer space.330
In addition, Surat al-Hadid also refers to the chemical symbol for iron. Because verse 15, in the exact middle of the Surah, begins with the Arabic letter "Fe," which is how iron is known to chemists.
In addition, the number emerging from a numerological [abjad] calculation of the words "al-Hadid," is the same as the number of the Surah: "." A calculation of the word "hadid" alone produces the number 26. And this corresponds to the number of iron in the periodic table. The Qur'an, which contains the revelation of our Omniscient Lord, refers both to the formation of iron and to its atomic number. (Allah knows the truth.)
◉ Al-Hadid is the 57th Surah of the Qur'an, and the numerical value of the words al-Hadid is also 57.
◉ The value of the word "hadid" alone is 26, and this is also the atomic number of iron.
The Rotation Of The Earth Around The Sun: 365 Days
The word "day, "yawm" in Arabic appears 365 times in the Qur'an. It also takes days to orbit the Sun.
The word "day, "yawm" in Arabic appears 365 times in the Qur'an. It also takes days to orbit the Sun.
The fact that the word "day" appears 365 times in the Qur'an is very important in terms of its providing information about the Earth's orbit hundreds of years ago. The repetition of the word "day" 365 times may be a reference to the 365-day relationship between the Earth and Sun. (Allah knows the truth.)
◉ The word "day (yavm)" appears 365 times in the Qur'an.
◉ It takes days to orbit the Sun.
The twenty-third chromosome determines gender in human beings. The words “woman” and “man” are each repeated separately 23 times in the Qur’an.
Gender and the 23rd Chromosome Pair
The genetic make-up of human beings and other living things depends on their chromosomes - and the genetic data in these chromosomes, found in DNA. Gender is dependent on the 23rd chromosome pair.
The genetic make-up of human beings and other living things depends on their chromosomes - and the genetic data in these chromosomes, found in DNA. Gender is dependent on the 23rd chromosome pair. In other words, the difference between a man and a woman stems from the 23rd chromosome pair. If a person's 23rd chromosome id expressed in the form XX she is female, and if in the form XY, then he is male.
The Qur'an makes reference to the 23rd chromosome that determines the difference between male and female thus: The word "man" and the word "woman" both appear 23 times in the Qur'an. This discovery about chromosomes, made only in recent decades, was reported hundreds of years beforehand in the Qur'an by way of the number 23. In short, it is this crucial number which marks the basic difference between male and female. (Allah knows the truth.)
◉ The words "man" and "woman" both appear 23 times in the Qur'an.
◉ The 23rd chromosome is the main element that determines an individual's gender.
The Sputnik Rising To The Skies
The first ever satellite, "Sputnik 1," was launched in 1957. Verse 19:57 (Surah Maryam, 57) of the Qur'an, amazingly, refers to rising and being raised.
The first ever satellite, "Sputnik 1," was launched in 1957. Verse 19:57 (Surah Maryam, 57) of the Qur'an, amazingly, refers to rising and being raised.
The term "rafa'nahu" in this verse is derived from the verb "refea," meaning "to raise, lift up or elevate." On the other hand, the word "aliyyan" in the verse bears the meaning of "high, very high" in addition to "great." When we consider this verse by itself, therefore, it means "being raised into a very high place." In that respect, verse 19:57 may be a reference to the launching into the sky of the spacecraft Sputnik 1 in 1957. (Allah knows the truth.)
◉ Verse 19:57 of the Qur'an speaks of "raising to a high place."

The Genetic Code of the Bee
It is scientifically established that all the bees in the world have the same number of chromosomes-and that never changes. Male and female animals generally have the same number of chromosomes.
It is scientifically established that all the bees in the world have the same number of chromosomes-and that never changes. Male and female animals generally have the same number of chromosomes. But the bee is slightly different: the male bee has 16 single chromosomes and the female bee 16 pairs.331
The bee is thus different in this respect, that of chromosome number. This difference is indicated in the Qur'an thus: (Allah knows the truth.) The Surah "Nahl," meaning bee, is the sixteenth Surah of the Qur'an, and “16” is the number of chromosomes these animals possess.
◉ Surat an-Nahl, meaning "Bee," is the 16th Surah.
◉ The bee has 16 chromosomes.
Halley's Comet and 76 Years
One of the greatest developments in modern astronomy is the discovery of Halley's Comet. The 18th-century scientist Edmund Halley discovered that the comet comes around every 76 years.
One of the greatest developments in modern astronomy is the discovery of Halley's Comet. The 18th-century scientist Edmund Halley discovered that the comet comes around every 76 years. With that discovery, Halley established that comets have astronomical orbits. The name "Halley" by which the comet is known, appears in a most striking way in verse 76 of Surat al-An'am in the Qur'an:
«When night covered him he saw a star and said, 'This is my Lord!' Then when it set he said, "I do not love what sets.» (
The letters that make up the word "Halley" appear for the first time in the Qur'an in this verse. Furthermore, the reference to a "setting" star is highly significant. What is more, the Arabic word "kawkaban,"meaning "star," appears right next to the letters comprising "Halley."
Seventy-six, the number of the related verse, on the other hand, may indicate seventy-sizxzzzxxzx years, which is Halley's orbital period. (Allah knows the truth.)
The verse number “76” represents the Halley comet: Halley becomes visible from the Earth every 76 years. In short, its orbital period is 76. For this reason, that Halley is mentioned for the first time in the Qur'an in the 76th verse seems to be a great miracle of Allah.
By NASA in March 8th In 1986, Halley displayed comet.
Hemoglobin and Iron
At the time the Qur'an was revealed, nobody was aware of the molecule hemoglobin. There was no such medical term in existence. Hemoglobin transports oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood throughout the human body.
At the time the Qur'an was revealed, nobody was aware of the molecule hemoglobin. There was no such medical term in existence. Hemoglobin transports oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood throughout the human body. In addition, it gives blood its red color. It was only discovered in the 19th century.
Hemoglobin forms thanks to the element iron (Fe) in our bodies and is of vital importance to the performance of vital functions. The element iron (Fe) present in the middle of hemoglobin binds itself to oxygen and thus carries oxygen in the blood. For that reason, the hemoglobin molecule can be considered together with the element iron.
In verse 25 of Surat al-Fath, the letters comprising the words Fe (iron) and hemoglobin miraculously appear side by side. In addition, the letters comprising hemoglobin do not appear side by side in any other verse. This exceptional circumstance is one of the proofs of the Creation of Almighty Allah, the Lord of the past and future, He who is unfettered by time and space.
◉ The word hemoglobin is written almost the same in Turkish, Arabic, English and other languages. The letters comprising the word hemoglobin appear side by side from left to right.
The Ozone Layer
The word "ozone" is written and read in just about the same way in Arabic, Turkish and other foreign languages. The letters that comprise the word ozone appear side by side in the 6th verse of Surat al-Jinn.
The word "ozone" is written and read in just about the same way in Arabic, Turkish and other foreign languages. The letters that comprise the word ozone appear side by side in the 6th verse of Surat al-Jinn. Moreover, the verses that follow refer to the "protective" nature of the sky:
«We tried, as usual, to travel to heaven in search of news but found it filled with fierce guards and meteors.»
The "guards" in the sky are highly compatible with the role of the ozone layer within the Earth’s atmosphere. In short, it is the protective layer in the sky, keeping harmful rays away from the Earth. The appearance - side by side - of the letters that comprise the world ozone, and in the above verse that refers to the "protective" nature of the sky, cannot be explained by chance. This is a miracle created in the Qur'an by our Lord.
The Retina: The Layer of the Eye
The retina is a layer of the eye that contains cells that allow us to see. At the time of the revelation of the Qur'an, this layer that made sight possible was unknown and the term “retina” was not in use.
The retina is a layer of the eye that contains cells that allow us to see. At the time of the revelation of the Qur'an, this layer that made sight possible was unknown and the term “retina” was not in use. Yet the letters that comprise the word "retina" appear - side by side - in only one place in the Qur'an, in verse 8 of Surah Fatir. This verse also refers to "seeing," for which reason there is a strong possibility that it refers to the retina. (Allah knows the truth.)
«And what of him the evil of whose actions seem fine to him so that he sees them as good? Allah misguides whoever He wills and guides whoever He wills. So do not let yourself waste away out of regret for them. Allah knows what they do…»
This verse, which contains the word "retina", refers to the Arabic verb "raa," meaning "to see." The 19th verse contains the sentence "The blind and seeing are not the same."Damage to the retina can lead to permanent blindness. The following verse refers to "nor are darkness and light."That term is highly significant in terms of the formation of the retina's light-sensitive calls. All these terms regarding sight are very rare in the Qur'an. The fact that the word "retina" appears only in these verses out of thousands, is another of Allah's Miracles in the Qur'an.
◉ The Arabic alphabet consists of consonants alone. The letter alif is used to influence the way words are read.
Dna and the Beginning of Genetic History
The term DNA (Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid) is an abbreviation scientists use when talking about the genetic material in living things.
The term DNA (Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid) is an abbreviation scientists use when talking about the genetic material in living things. The beginning of the science of genetics dates back to genetic laws drawn up by the scientist Mendel in 1865. The date, a turning point in the history of science, is referred to in Surat al-Kahf, verse 18:65.
When the appearance of the letters D-N-A (Dal-Nun-Alif in Arabic) side by side in places in the Qur'an is examined, they appear most frequently in this particular verse. The letters D-N-A appear side by side three times in this verse, in a unique manner. In no other verse of the Qur'an do the letters "DNA" appear consecutively so often.
The number of this exceptional verse in which the term DNA appears so strikingly is 18:65. These numbers are an expression of the date when the science of genetics began. This is unlikely to be a coincidence. Because only in verse 18:65 of the Qur'an do the letters "DNA" appear three times consecutively. This is something miraculous, because the scientific world only came up with the name DNA (Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid) comparatively recently.
In Surat al-Kahf, which refers to DNA and the year 1865 when the science of genetics began, DNA is repeated 7 times, as is RNA (the Arabic letters Ra-Nun-Alif). Like DNA, the RNA molecule is a molecule giving rise to genetic structure. For that reason, the appearance of DNA and RNA an equal number of times in this Surat is further proof that these molecules were referred to in the Qur'an hundreds of years ago. (Allah knows the truth.)
Sand Dunes and the Planet Mars
The word "Ahqaf," one of the Surah of the Qur'an literally means "sand dunes." In astronomy, one of the first characteristics that come to mind when the planet Mars is mentioned is the giant collections of sand, or giant "sand…
The word "Ahqaf," one of the Surah of the Qur'an literally means "sand dunes." In astronomy, one of the first characteristics that come to mind when the planet Mars is mentioned is the giant collections of sand, or giant "sand dunes" on its surface. These make Mars completely different to the other eight planets.
An examination of the sequence of letters in verse 23 of Surat al-Ahqaf shows that the Arabic letters Mim, Alif, Ra and Sin appears side by side to make the word Mars.
The way these letters appear in Surat al-Ahqaf, a word meaning "sand dunes," one of the most striking features of the planet Mars, is highly noteworthy. Additionally, it is not just Mars that appears in this Surah, but also its satellite "Deimos." The letters that make up the name of "Deimos," which orbits Mars, appear side by side in verse 30 of Surat al-Ahqaf. These things are all examples of the infinite knowledge and wisdom our Lord.
◉ In Arabic, the letter "Waw" is read as a consonant when it appears inside a word.
Quantum Physics
At the time of the revelation of the Qur'an, quantum physics and atomic sub-articles were unknown. But the Qur'an, extraordinarily, contains indications of all past and future sciences within its Arabic text.
At the time of the revelation of the Qur'an, quantum physics and atomic sub-articles were unknown. But the Qur'an, extraordinarily, contains indications of all past and future sciences within its Arabic text. A further example of this can be seen in verses 37 and 39 of Surat al-Kahf, in which the names and weights of these fundamental particles are indicated in a miraculous manner. (Allah knows the truth.)
The letters that make up the word "neutron" (the Arabic letters Nun-Te-Re-Nun) appear consecutively in only two verses in the whole of the Qur'an. One of these is in verse 18:39, which itself expresses the "neutron mass = 1839 me."
As we have seen, verse 39 of Surat al-Kahf contains references to both the name of the neutron and, in terms of the verse number, of the neutron mass. (Allah knows the truth.) These letters appear consecutively in none of the other thousands of verses, and only in verse 18:39 does the word "neutron" appear.
◉ There is no letter "P" in Arabic, the letter "Be" being used instead.
The same thing applies to the "proton." The letters comprising the word "proton" (the Arabic letters Be-Re-Te-Nun) appear in relatively greater numbers in the Qur'an compared to the neutron. Only in verse 37 of Surat al-Kahf, verse18:37, in other words, do the letters comprising the word consecutively from left to right. The proton mass is "1836-1837 me" and is generally taken as "1837 me." Therefore, the number of this verse could be a direct reference to the mass of the proton, "1837 me." (Allah knows the truth.)
The words "neutron" and "proton" are written essentially the same way in Turkish, English, Arabic and other languages. Another verse that refers to these particles that comprise atoms reads as follows:
«… Not even the smallest speck eludes your Lord, either on Earth or in heaven. Nor is there anything smaller than that, or larger, which is not in a Clear Book.»
Petrol, the one of the most important sources of energy, was first referred to by that name in a book titled De Re Metallica (On the Nature of Minerals.) This work was published in 1556 by the German Georgius Agricola.
Petrol, the one of the most important sources of energy, was first referred to by that name in a book titled De Re Metallica (On the Nature of Minerals.) This work was published in 1556 by the German Georgius Agricola. Bearing this in mind, it is important to note that the Qur’an contains critical references to these valuable energy resource, which were named hundreds of years later after the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad (Allah knows the truth.)
The letters that comprise the word "petrol" appear side by side in only one verse of the Qur'an. The Arabic words "fee thulumati al-ardi"in verse 59 of Surat al-An'am, meaning "the darkness of the earth," appear in the same verse and suggest the subterranean formation of petrol.
«... He knows everything in the land and sea. No leaf falls without His knowing it. There is no seed in the darkness of the earth, and nothing moist or dry which is not in a Clear Book.»
◉ There is no letter "P" in Arabic, the letter "Be" being used as its equivalent.
The word “petrol”—which began being used only in recent decades—is written or read in the same way whether in Turkish, English or Arabic. It is the also the same in many other languages all over the world.
So how is petrol formed? According to modern scientific findings, it emerges after a lengthy period of time from the remains of either plants or animals. Another verse of the Qur'an that suggests this reads:
«He Who brings forth green pasture, then makes it blackened stubble.»
Television transmissions take place by electromagnetic waves travelling at the speed of light reaching our homes. Television waves are so fast that live transmissions from many kilometers away can be made almost instantaneously.
Television transmissions take place by electromagnetic waves travelling at the speed of light reaching our homes. Television waves are so fast that live transmissions from many kilometers away can be made almost instantaneously. Surat an-Naml of the Qur'an describes how the Prophet Solomon had the throne of a queen in a far-distant country brought to him instantaneously in a miraculous manner, in a manner reminiscent of the above technology:
«He who possessed knowledge of the Book said, 'I will bring it to you before your glance returns to you.' And when he saw it standing firmly in his presence, he said, 'This is part of my Lord's favor to test me to see if I will give thanks or show ingratitude...»
When reading this verse, the ideas of teleportation or image transmission —television—immediately spring to mind. Some letters in Surat an-Naml, in which this phenomenon is described, come together in a mysterious manner to comprise the word "television."
«If all the trees on earth were pens and all the sea, with seven more seas besides, was ink Allah's words still would not run dry. Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.»

Venus and Mars are the names of the closest and second-closest planets to the Earth. In the Qur'an, the letters that make up the present-day names of these planets are set out in such a way as to indicate the speed of their rotation.
The letters that make up the name Venus (Waaw-Alif-Nuun-Alif-Shiin in Arabic) appear side by side in verse 72 of Surat al-Anfal. The next sequence of letters spelling out the word “Venus” appears in verse 3 of Surah Hud. There are 243 verses between these two. It takes Venus exactly 243 days to revolve around its own axis. In other words, the revolution starts all over again after 243 days. The letters comprising the word Venus appear 243 verses after their first appearance in the Qur'an.
The same sequencing applies to Mars. The letters that comprise the word Mars (Miim-Alif-Raa-Shiin in Arabic) first appear side by side in verse 44 of Surat al-Mu'minun. The next time the sequence appears is in verse 45. In other words, they appear just 1 verse later. It takes the planet Mars just 1 day to revolve around its own axis.
The letters comprising the word “Venus” appear side by side from right to left in verse 72 of Surat al-Anfal. The letters comprising the word “Venus” appear side by side from right to left in verse 3 of Surah Hud.
Only modern astronomy has allowed us to understand the length of time it takes for Mars and Venus to respectively revolve around their own axes. These periods were discovered by astronomers hundreds of years after the revelation of the Qur'an. The names “Venus” and “Mars” used in modern astronomy appear as “al-Merrikh” and “az-Zuhra” in order in the Arabic text. Different societies had different names for these planets at the time of the revelation of the Qur'an. The appearance of these famous planetary names in a book, like the Qur'an, which was revealed nearly 1400 years ago is therefore miraculous. These extraordinary sequences in the Qur'an once again confirm that the Qur'an is the revelation of Almighty Allah. In Surat as-Sajda Almighty Allah states:
The letters comprising the word Mars appear side by side from right to left in verse 44 of Surat al-Mu'minun. The letters comprising the word Mars appear side by side from right to left in verse 45 of Surat al-Mu'minun.
«The revelation of the Book, without any doubt of it, is from the Lord of the worlds. Or do they say, 'He has invented it'? No indeed! It is the truth from your Lord to warn a people to whom, before you, no warner came, so that hopefully they will be guided.» (Sur as-Sajda, 2-3)

This section contains the results of various calculations performed on Surahs in which numerical terms appear. The same numbers obtained as a result of different calculations in the relevant Surah are also extremely fascinating. This section of the book deals with various types of calculation - such as the numbers of syllables and letters in the Surahs, the types of letter or their numerological values [abjad] —and reveals surprising similarities in the resultant numbers. The calculations in this section are not open to discussion and nor are they a matter for debate - anybody who performs the same calculations will arrive at the same figures as those which are quoted here. References are provided throughout this section of the book so that any interested person is entitled to double-check the relevant Qur’anic verses.
In addition to the sublime theological wisdom and religious knowledge of the Holy Qur'an, it also contains very rich and extraordinary numerical references. In verse 29 of Surat an-Naba' our Lord says "... We have recorded all things in writing."And verse 28 of Surat al-Jinn reads "... (Allah) has counted the exact number of everything."These miraculous numerical references obtained from the Holy Qur'an are also manifestations of one of our Almighty Lord's Ninety-Nine Names. The title "Al-Muhsey,"or "He Who knows the number of everything, even if it is infinite".

The Number of the Human Chromosome
There are some 100 trillion cells in the body of a human adult. The cells all possess the same genetic structure. That genetic structure is also present in the chromosomes in the cell nucleus.
«He created man from a drop of sperm and yet he is an open challenger!»
There are some 100 trillion cells in the body of a human adult. The cells all possess the same genetic structure. That genetic structure is also present in the chromosomes in the cell nucleus. There are 23 pairs, or 46 chromosomes, in a human cell – half from the mother and half from the father. These chromosomes also contain DNA molecules in which the characteristics of the person are recorded: hair colour, eye colour, height and other unique details which make an individual what they are.

The Angles in Honeycombs
Working as a team, honey bees build hexagonal cells in their hives and fill the cells with honey under the leadership of the Queen Bee.
«Your Lord revealed to the bees:
'Build dwellings in the mountains and the trees, and also in the structures which men erect. Then eat from every kind of fruit and travel the paths of your Lord, which have been made easy for you to follow.' From inside them comes a drink of varying colours, containing healing for mankind. There is certainly a Sign in that for people who reflect.»
Working as a team, honey bees build hexagonal cells in their hives and fill the cells with honey under the leadership of the Queen Bee. Mathematicians have concluded that the hexagon is the most perfect and effificient shape these bees could have “chosen” for their special work. For example, if the cells in the combs were pentagonal or octagonal, then their edges would not weld together perfectly. Consequently, many parts of the comb would therefore remain used and the honey project could be deemed to be inherently inefficient. But through Allah’s Inspiration, bees store the greatest possible amount of honey by building their combs in the form of hexagons.
◉ These are the only verses of the Qur'an that mention bees, honey and honeycombs. The abjad value of these verses is 720. (By minor abjad calculation)
◉ The total internal angles of the comb add up to 720 degrees.
◉ Every cell in the comb is a hexagon. Each internal angle in the cell is 120 degrees.
◉ The number of clause (clauses) in Surat an-Nahl until this matter is discussed is 120.
The Companions of the Cave and How They Spent Three Hundred and Nine (309) Years in the Cave
◉ The abjad values of "as-haba alkahfi," meaning "The Companions of the Cave," is 238. (By minor abjad calculation)
«Do you consider that the Companions of the Cave and Ar-Raqim were one of the most remarkable of Our Signs?»
In revealing how long the Companions spent in the cave, the Qur'an says "They stayed in their Cave for three hundred years and added nine." (Surat al-Kahf, 25) In interpreting this verse, commentators say that the Companions of the Cave slept for 300 solar years or 309 years by the lunar calendar.
◉ The number of syllables up to "sineena waizdadoo," meaning "number of years" is exactly 309.366
◉ There are 309 undotted letters in the Surah up to the term "sineena waizdadoo".
«Then We woke them up again so that we might see which of the two groups would better calculate the time they had stayed there.»
◉ This verse reveals that the reason the Companions of the Cave were woken was to establish which of the two groups would most accurately calculate how long the slumber had lasted. The number of syllables before this verse is exactly 309.367
«They stayed in their Cave for three hundred years and added nine.»
Allah, in His Eternal Wisdom, does not directly mention the number “309” in this Surah. He does say exactly how long these companions remained in the cave. Rather, the Qur’an speaks of an additional nine years thus drawing attention to the difference between the solar and lunar years. (Allah knows the truth.)
The solar year refers to the Earth's revolution around the Sun, and 365.242217 complete revolutions of the Earth constitute a solar year. A lunar year consists of 354.36768 days, the time in which the Moon orbits times. There is thus a difference of 10.874537 days between the solar and lunar years. In short, 100 solar years is thus equivalent to 103 lunar years.
In order to determine the equivalent of 300 solar years in terms of lunar years, we need to add on 9 more years – just as in the verse.
◉ The total of all the numbers in this Surah up to this verse is 300. (300 by the Gregorian calendar equates to 309 years by the Islamic calendar.)
◉ There are 309 pages from this page, the last to refer to the Companions of the Cave and their sleep, and the end of the Qur'an.
«That was the situation when we woke them up so they could question one another. One of them asked, 'How long have you been here?' They replied, 'We have been here for a day or part of a day.' They said, 'Your Lord knows best how long you have been here. Send one of your number into the city with this silver you have, so he can see which food is purest and bring you some of it to eat. But he should go about with caution so that no one is aware of you.»
