Subject: MATHEMATICS OF THE HOLY QURAN

Maths in Quran.
READ this to the end…!!!
Dr. Tariq Al Suwaidan discovered some verses in the Holy Quran that mention
one thing is equal to another, i.e. man is equal to women.

Although this makes sense grammatically, the astonishing fact is that the number of times the word man appears in the Quran is 24 and the number of times the word woman appears is also 24, therefore not only is this phrase
correct in the grammatical sense but also true mathematically 24).
Upon further analysis of various other erses, he discovered that this is
consistent throughout the whole Quran, where it says one thing is like another. See below for some astonishing results:-

The word number of times mentioned in Arabic Quran:

Dunia (one name for life) 115 · Aakhirat (one name for the life after)
115
Malaikat (angels) 88 · Shaytan (satan) 88
Life 145 · Death 145
Benefit 50· Corrupt 50
People 50 · Messengers 50
Eblees (king of devils) 11 · Seek refuge from eblees 11
Museebah (calamity) 75 · Thanks 75
Spending (sadaqah) 73 · Satisfaction 73
· people who are Mislead 17 · Dead people 17
· Muslimeen 41 · Jihad 41
· Gold 8 · Easy life 8
· Magic 60 · Fitnah (dissuasion, misleading)
· Zakat (taxes Muslims pay for the poor) 32
· Barakah (increasing or blessings of a wealth) 32
· Mind 49 · Noor (light) 49
· Tongue 25· Sermon 25
· Desire 8 · Fear 8
· Speaking publicly 18· Publicising 18
· Hardship 114 · Patience 114
· Muhammad 4 · Sharee*ah (Muhammad’s teachings) 4
· Man 24 · Woman 24

And amazingly enough have a look how many times the following words
appear:-
· Solat (Prayer ) 5
· Month 12
· Day 365
· sea 32
· Land 13
· Sea + land = 32 + 13 = 45
· % sea = 32/45 * 100 % = 71.11111111
· % land= 13 / 45 * 100 % = 28.88888889
= 100.00
Modern Science has only recently proven that the water covers 71.111 %
of
the earth, while the land covers 28.889 %.

Is this a coincidence?

Who taught prophet Mohammad (PBUH) all this? Allah,the All Mighty
taught
him
this.

As the Quran tells us:
(This is) a Book, the Verses whereof are perfected (in every sphere of
knowledge, etc.), and then explained in detail from One (Allâh), Who is

All-Wise and Well-Acquainted (with all things).'Quran 11:1)

The above is from the the series of the scientific miracles in Quraan,
by
Dr. Tariq Al Suwaidan May ALLAH Bless us all

The article above was posted a few weeks ago. I had said:

This is very strange. Prayer is mentioned 112 times in the Qur'an in varying contexts. So Dr. Tariq Al Suwaidan is completely wrong. With respects to days and months, the above only seems to be consistent with the Gregorian calendar. There are not 365 days in the Islamic lunar calendar. I just can't understand how people find such numbers in the Qur'an and expect it to make sense.


They shoot partypoopers, don't they?

Good response Mr. Partypooper.

Ok partypooper no one is perfect......But if you provide info it must be worth while as it may lead people the wong way.

But anyways good post CB and the knowledge is Quran is only very little known to us and who knows what other secrets are found in the holy book.

These figures in no way contribute to the authenticity of the Quran. Quran is authentic and unique because of its content...not these numbers. These numbers are mere coincidences. If one chooses to believe otherwise, sure they are welcome to. However, almost all of these numbers can be refuted just as easily as they have been quoted.

. sea 32
· Land 13
· Sea + land = 32 + 13 = 45
· % sea = 32/45 * 100 % = 71.11111111
· % land= 13 / 45 * 100 % = 28.88888889
= 100.00
Modern Science has only recently proven that the water covers 71.111 %
of
the earth, while the land covers 28.889 %.

Can u provide a proof of where modern science has proven that? Water bodies are always in constant expansion....new islands are always sprouting out...and land is always being washed under the sea. The point being, the ratio continues to change on a daily basis...so to provide a ratio as precise as 71.111% and 28.889% does not make any sense, and is not right to say the least.

. Zakat (taxes Muslims pay for the poor) 32
· Barakah (increasing or blessings of a wealth) 32

Is barakah exclusively associated with zakat? Barakah means blessings....not blessing of wealth. And blessing is associated with anything that is done for the sake of Allahs SWT happiness.

Mind 49 · Noor (light) 49

Whats the link between mind and light?

Benefit 50· Corrupt 50

again, whats the link between the two?

I can go on with the whole list, but it would amount to nitpicking. To make it short, our belief in Allah SWT and Quran is not dependent on any such figures, and such figures are mere coincidences. If there was any value to these coincidences, they would been pointed out by Prophet SAW, which he never did. Focus on such stats and figures usually diverts our attention from our real objective, i-e, reading and understanding the Quran. Instead, we concentrate on this short form of devotion.

Mr.Eastren Analog,
you have become too much cynical in your answer.The point Mr.Cool Blue is trying to make here is that Islam and its components are so perfect that what ever angle you try to look at it, you will be sppeechless.
there are always two aspects of a picture.look on the bright side.I feel pessimissim from you.

Very well.

**
Well, he is not speechless any way, I mean Eastern spoke clearly and made a valid point.How did you preempt that he is speechless?**

Belief is not what mind possesses, it is what possesses the mind!

Cynical?

I don't think he's being cynical at all. EA's statements are pretty logical afterall, and like Partypooper said, 'I just can't understand how people find such numbers in the Qur'an and expect it to make sense.', it doesn't make sense to me either, and moreover i question the need of people to search for justification for their faith in such miniscule possibilities...i mean the miracle of the Qu'ran lies not in how many times a certain word is mentioned in relation to another, but in the origin of its revelation and the purity and beauty of the message it carries...

Ahmad G,

Stop repeating yourself, repetitive posts clutter up the thread and are not appreciated, and will be deleted.

for Girl for Quraiysh
There is some thing called art..
Quran is a perfect example of state of the art Book.
Again you are missing the same point which eatren analog ha missed.

http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/cool.gif

I would appreciate it if you would explicitly say what you are trying to say. What do you mean by art? If the numbers are categorically incorrect, then what kind of art does that come under?


They shoot partypoopers, don’t they?

What I was trying to convey is that God’s creation is always perfect in its own context whether living or non living.Thats why when God asked Holy prophet SAW to challenge all the top literary and poetic persons to make an AYAT like Quran’s, nobody came forward.
If some one explores Quran’s wonders from Numerological point of view,there is nothing wrong as it just reveals its potential glories.It does not add any thing to it.As it has its predetermined status which all of us know.
We use 786 often for abbreviation for Bismillah, nobody objects, as there is science of numerology in arabic/persian as every letter stands for some number.
But any way the people who are going to raise fingers on this numerological aspect of Quran
they will object to a lot of other things in it and they do.They will never agree with it .So why to bother about such ppl.
I think now you amy get my point

No one denies that the holyness in Al-Qur'an is in its menaings and the messages it carries. But Allah told us the Qur'an is holy and in it will be solutions to everything.

I don't know if the numbers mentioned are correct or not, but I sure believe that Qur'an carries wanders of knowledge. But it did mention about scinetific occurrences that the scientists just discovered recently and we knew them 1400+ years ago! Do you not agree Girl From Quraysh?!

[This message has been edited by Ahmad G (edited January 17, 2001).]

Ahmad G, no one is denying the truth of the revelations, no one is questioning the Qu'ran. The phenomenas described in the qu'ran which have only recently been revealed by science, are a testament to the miracle...the glory of the word of Allah swt.

What i'm questioning is people's need to justify their faith...even to validate it in the most minute of possibilities, i mean it almost seems as if one is grasping at straws, does it not? The miracle of the Qu'ran lies not in how many times a certain word is mentioned in relation to another, but in the origin of its revelation and the purity, beauty, and truth of the message it carries.
