The Quran is known to contain many miraculous signs, including mathematical miracles that have puzzled minds since its revelation. These miracles include complex mathematical equations, patterns, or sequences, and they're believed to be of divine origin. The Quran contains many mathematical miracles that attest to its divine origin and wisdom. These miracles are not meant to be understood as simple coincidences, but rather as signs of Allah's greatness and power. The Quran could not have been authored by a human being.
Here are 10 of the most significant mathematical miracles in the Quran:
One: The number 19. The number 19 appears frequently in the Quran. This number is found in the Quran as a mathematical code, which is a multiple or a factor of some remarkable Quranic words or phrases. For example, the word Allah appears two thousand six hundred ninety-eight times in the Quran. If we multiply the number of surahs in the Quran by the number of verses that describe Allah, we get 2698, which is a multiple of 19. There are several intriguing facts related to the numerical value 19 in the Quran:
1. The first verse of the Quran consists of 19 letters.
2. The Quran includes 114 surahs, which is equivalent to 19 multiplied by six.
3. The total number of verses in the Quran is six thousand three hundred and forty-six, with six thousand two hundred thirty-four numbered verses and 112 unnumbered verses (Basmalas), which is also equivalent to 19 multiplied by 334. It is interesting to note that when we add the digits of six thousand three hundred and forty-six together (six plus three plus four plus six), we get the value 19.
4. The Bismillah appears 114 times in the Quran, except in Surah 9 where it is missing but occurs twice in Surah 27. This number 114 is also equivalent to 19 multiplied by six.
Two: The Golden Ratio. The Golden Ratio, or Divine Proportion, is a mathematical concept that is found in many aspects of nature and art. It is represented by the number 1.618 and can be seen in the proportions of the human body, plants, and animals, as well as in architecture and design. Surprisingly, the Golden Ratio appears in the Quran too. If we divide the number of verses in the Quran (6236) by the number of chapters (114), we get 54.6. If we multiply this number by the number of verses in the first Surah of the Quran, we get 381.6. If we round this number to the nearest whole number (382), we get a remarkable result: the total number of verses in the first and the last 17 surahs in the Quran is 382, and these surahs contain important messages about the Oneness of God, the Day of Judgment, and other topics.
Three: The symmetry of Surah Al-Mulk. Surah Al-Mulk is the 67th Surah of the Quran and contains 30 verses. This Surah is said to protect its reciter from the punishment of the grave and is recommended to be recited every night. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "There is a Surah in the Quran which contains 30 Ayat which kept interceding for a man until his sins are forgiven." This Surah is as blessed as He and whose hand is the Dominion. In addition, if we count the words in the first half of the Surah (verses 1 to 15) and compare them to the number of words in the second half (verses 16 to 30), we find that they're equal (140 words in each half). The symmetry is a mathematical marvel that adds to the beauty of the Surah.
Four: Numeric value of Bismillah. Bismillah, or "in the name of Allah," is the first phrase in every Surah of the Quran except for Surah 9. The numeric value of this phrase in Arabic numerals is 786. The number has been revered by many Muslims and is considered to represent Basmala's sacredness. Interestingly, if we multiply the numeric values of each letter in Bismillah, we get a product of 786. This phenomenon has encouraged Muslims to recite this phrase regularly as they believe that it brings blessings and protection from calamities.
Five: The number 29 in Surah Al-Qamar. Surah Al-Qamar is the 54th Surah of the Quran and contains 55 verses. This Surah describes the punishment that befell the people of the past who rejected their Prophets. Interestingly, the word which means "Moon" occurs in the Surah 27 times. The moon cycle is 29.5 days, and the number 29 is the ordinal value of the Quranic word which means "the Warner." The number 29 also appears in other ways in the Surah. For example, if we add the numbers of the Surah and its verses (54 plus 55), we get 109. If we subtract this number from the total number of chapters in the Quran (114), we get five. Interestingly, five is the fifth Surah after the last Surah of the Quran, which is Surah Al-Baqarah.
Six: The number eight in Surah Al-Fatiha. Surah Al-Fatiha is the first Surah of the Quran and contains seven verses. This Surah is considered the essence of the Quran and is recited in every prayer by Muslims. Interestingly, the sum of the number of letters in the Surah is 120, which is a multiple of eight. The number eight is significant because it represents infinity, the cycle of life and death, and the eight Gates of Jannah (Paradise). Furthermore, if we count the number of letters in the first, middle, and the last verse of the Surah, we find that they are equal (19 letters in each verse). The symmetry also adds to the elegance of the Surah.
Seven: The number 114 and the forward and backward counting. The Quran contains 114 surahs, and this number has been the subject of various numerical studies. Interestingly, if we count the number of chapters in the Quran starting from the last chapter (Surah Nas) and go backward, the result is 114. This phenomenon is called the backward counting and it represents the completeness of the Quran. In addition, if we count the number of chapters starting from the first chapter and go forward, the result is also 114. This phenomenon is called the forward counting and it represents the order and sequence of the Quran.
Eight: The number seven in the Quran. The number seven is considered a sacred number in many traditions and cultures. It is found in the Quran in many forms and contexts. For example, there are seven Heavens, seven Earths, seven days of the week, and seven major sins. Interestingly, the word "Sabah," which means seven, appears in the Quran 147 times, which is a multiple of seven. Furthermore, the Quran states that Allah created the heavens and the Earth in six days and then rested on the seventh day. This account of creation is similar to the Genesis account in the Bible but shows that the concept of the seven-day week is older than Judaism or Christianity.
Nine: The number eight in Surah Al-Qaf. Surah Al-Qaf is the 18th Surah of the Quran and contains 110 verses. This Surah tells the story of the people of the cave who slept for 300 years and other stories that teach important lessons. Interestingly, the number eight appears multiple times in this Surah. For example, there were eight young men in the story of the cave. In addition, the eighth verse of the Surah contains a reference to the number eight: "And I revealed it to you, O Muhammad, not knowing you or your people before this, that this is a revelation presented to warn you and whomever it reaches. Do you then know if I revealed it, the Quran, to you so that you and your people would know it, or was it revealed for you to warn the people?" This verse teaches that the Quran was revealed as a warning and guidance for all people, not just for Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his followers.
Ten: The number 10 in Surah Isra. Isra, also known as Surah Bani Israel, is the 17th Surah of the Quran and contains 111 verses. This Surah describes the Prophet Muhammad's miraculous journey to Jerusalem and other Prophets' struggles. Interestingly, the word "Sabrin," which means 70, appears in verse 5 of the Surah. This verse states: "And from the Earth We have created you, and into it We shall return you, and from it We shall extract you another time." The essence of this verse is that human beings are made from the earth and will return to it, but Allah will extract them again on the Day of Judgment.
The examples we have discussed in this video are just a few of the many that have been discovered by scholars over the centuries. They are reminders of the Quran's timeless message that invites us to reflect, ponder, and be grateful for the blessings of Allah. Allah created everything with immeasurable symmetry, beauty, and perfection.
