numerology
Among the countless wonders of the Qur’an, its numerical precision stands out as a profound testament to its divine origin. These patterns not only demonstrate an extraordinary internal harmony but also align with modern scientific discoveries, reinforcing the belief that the Qur’an’s composition transcends human capability.
As the renowned scholar Ahmed Deedat emphasised in “Al-Qur’an: The Ultimate Miracle” he stated:
‘Using the ultimate in scientific proof namely mathematics, the physical examinable evidence is provided that the Quran is the infallible word of God.”
The Qur’an exhibits numerical symmetries that align with astronomy, geology, and other sciences. For instance:
– The word “yawm” (day) appears 365 times, matching the number of days in a solar year.
– The term “shahr” (month) is mentioned 12 times, corresponding to the months of the year.
Another astonishing balance is found in the Qur’an’s references to natural elements:
– The word “bahr” (sea) appears 32 times, while “barr” (land) is mentioned 13 times.
When combined (32 + 13 = 45), these figures reveal that 71% of the references relate to the sea and 29% to land, which is a perfect reflection of Earth’s actual surface composition, which is 71% water and 29% land.
These instances merely scratch the surface of the Qur’an’s profound numerical precision, a symmetry so flawless that it cannot be accidental.
