The Quran ( The most authentic Book in the World)

Assalam-u-Alaikum,
Just wanted to share a very small part of infromation from the Glorious Quran (full of wonders), some of you may already know it.

The word (Sea or Water) mentioned 32 times, and the word (Landmass) mentioned 13 times in the Holy Qur’an, if we add them together we will get 45.

Now let us do some calculations…

By finding the percentage of the number of the word (Sea) to the total number of the words (Sea and Landmass) we will have:
(32/45)x100% = 71.11111111111%

By finding the percentage of the number of the word (Landmass) to the total number of the words (Sea and Landmass) we will have:
(13/45)x100% = 28.88888888889%

We will find what Allah (swt) said in His Holy Book 14 centaury ago that the ratio of water on earth is 71.11111111111%, and the ratio of landmass is 28.88888888889%,
add them together and you will get 100%, and these are the real ratios of the Water and landmass on earth.

So what do you think? Could it be a Chance?!
Who do you think taught prophet Muhammad all of these?

I am just telling you that " Nor does he say (aught) of (his own) Desire " so bow thankful to your Lord for being a Muslim, what you have read is a small part of the Numeric Miracles of the Holy Qur’an, there are big volumes about the miracles of the Qur’an…

Allah says, “Do they not handle Quran with care, if it was from someone other than Allah, they would find in it many discrepencies.”
But still non believers do not understand. May Allah guide us all. Ameen

Very nice Nabeel. I read a similar article sometime ago, posted by Hinna in general forum, and it was excellent one. Its amazing how many treasures this single Book holds.
Subhaanallah.

More such treasures from Quran:

Numerical Contradictions:

There are many numerical contradictions in the Koran. God cannot make an error in doing simple calculations, however Mohammed, as you will see, was very capable of making such errors.

How Many Days Did It Take To Create Heavens And Earth?
(Koran 7:54)
Your guardian-Lord is Allah. Who created the heavens and the earth in SIX Days...

(Koran 10:3)
Verily your Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and the earth in SIX Days...

(Koran 11:7)
He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in SIX days...

(Koran 25:29)
He Who created the heavens And the earth and all that is between, in SIX days...

The above verses clearly state that God created the heaven and the earth in 6 days. But the verses stated below contradict the above verses and imply that it took God 8 days to create the heaven and the earth. Read carefully and add up the numbers.

(Koran 41:9)
Is it that ye Deny Him who created the earth in TWO days?...

(Koran 41:10)
He set on the (earth). Mountains standing firm,
high above it, and bestowed blessings on the
earth, and measured therein all things to
give them nourishment in due proportion, in FOUR days...

(Koran 41:12)
So He completed them as seven firmaments in TWO days and...

Do the math: 2(for earth) + 4(for nourishment) + 2(for heavens) = 8 NOT 6

This implies that Mohammed did not know how to add integers.

Contradictions In the Inheritance Law
(Koran 4:11)
Allah directs you as regards your children's
(Inheritance): to the male a portion equal to
that of two females: if only daughters, two or
more, Their share is two-thirds of the inheritance;
if only one, her, share is a half.
For parents, a sixth share of the inheritance to
each, if the deceased left children; if no
children, and the parents are the heirs, the
mother has a third; if the deceased left brothers
the mother has a sixth...

(Koran 4:12)
In what your wives leave, your share is a half,
if they leave no child; but if they leave a child,
ye get a fourth; after payment of legacies and
debts. In what ye leave, their share is a fourth,
If ye leave no child; but if ye leave a child, they
get an eighth; after payment.

(Koran 4:176)
...If it is a man that dies, leaving a sister
but no child, she shall have half the inheritance:
If a woman dies and leaves no child, her brother
takes her inheritance: If there are two sisters,
they shall have two-thirds of the inheritance.
If there are brothers and sisters, the male takes
twice the share of the female.

Let us suppose that a man dies and leaves behind three daughters, two parents and his wife. According to the verses stated above the three daughters together will receive 2/3 of the share, the parents will receive 1/3 of the share and the wife will receive 1/8 of the share.

Do the math once again: 2/3 + 1/3 + 1/8 = 9/8 = 1.125. The distribution of the property adds up to more than the available property! How can this distribution be possible? Once again Mohammed displays his inability to add. Well, if a person can't add integers then it is unprobable that he would know how to add fractions.

Another example: A man dies and leaves behind his mother, his wife and two sisters. According to what Mohammed has stated in Koran 4:11-12 and 4:176 the mother will receive 1/3 of the property, the wife will receive 1/4 of the property and the sisters will receive 2/3 of the property.

Let us add up the fractions again: 1/3 + 2/3 + 1/4 = 5/4 = 1.25 and once again it adds up to more than the available property.

Allah's Day Equals 1,000 Years or 50,000 Years?
(Koran 22:47)
...A day in the sight of thy Lord is like a thousand years of your reckoning.

(Koran 32:5)
...To Him, on a Day, The space whereof will be a thousands years of your reckoning.

In the above verses it states clearly that a day of Allah is equal to a 1000 earth years. However, there is a contradiction in the verse stated below.

(Koran 70:4)
The angels and the Spirit ascend unto him in a day the measure whereof is fifty thousand years.

So, which one is it? Is the day of Allah equal to 1,000 earth years or 50,000 earth years?

How Many Gardens Of Paradise?
(Koran 39:73)
And those who feared their Lord will be led to THE Garden...

(Koran 41:30)
...But receive the glad tidings of THE Garden that which ye were promised!

(Koran 57:21)
Be ye foremost in seeking forgiveness from your Lord, and A Garden...

(Koran 79:41)
Their abode will be THE Garden.

In the above verses Mohammed refers to only ONE Garden of Paradise, but in the verses below he contradicts himself once again by saying that there are MANY Gardens of paradise.

(Koran 18:31)
For them will be GARDENS of Eternity...

(Koran 22:23)
Allah will admit those who believe and work righteous deeds.
To GARDENS beneath which rivers flow...

(Koran 35:33)
GARDENS of Eternity will they Enter...

(Koran 78:32)
GARDENS enclosed, and Grapevines;

It looks like Mohammed could not make up his mind about the number of Gardens of Eternity in heaven.

How Many Groups Of People During The Last Judgement?
(Koran 56:7)
And ye shall be sorted out into THREE classes.

The contradictory verses:
(Koran 90:18-19)
Such are the Companions of the right hand.
But those who reject our signs, they are
the companions of the left hand.

(Koran 99:6-8)
On the Day will men Proceed in companies sorted
out, to be shown the deeds that they had done.
Then shall anyone has done an ounce of good,
see it! And anyone who Has done an ounce of evil,
shall see it.

At first, Mohammed says that during the Last Judgement people will be divided into 3 groups. But in the later verses he seems to have changed his mind to 2 groups -- the group that has done evil and the group that has done good.

Who Takes The Souls After Death?
Sometimes Mohammed states that THE Angel of Death takes the souls after death and at another he says that there are ANGELS who take the souls at the time of death and at yet another time Mohammed states that it is in fact Allah who takes the souls. The relevant verses are listed below.

(Koran 32:11)
THE ANGEL of death, put in charge of you will take your souls then shall ye be brought back to your Lord.

(Koran 47:27)
But how will it be when the ANGELS take their souls at death, and smite their faces and their backs?

(Koran 39:42)
It is Allah that takes the souls of men at death; and those that die not He takes during their sleep...

During The Birth Of Jesus How Many Angels Spoke To Mary?
According to the Koran how many angels spoke to the virgin Mary at the time of the announciation of Jesus's birth? Well, Mohammed was no too sure about this, so he said that there were several angels in one verse and in the other he states that there was only one.

(Koran 3:42)
Behold! the ANGELS said: "O Mary! Allah hath chosen thee...

(Koran 3:45)
Behold! the ANGELS said: "O! Mary! Allah giveth thee...

(Koran 19:17)
...Then We sent to her (Mary) Our ANGEL...

Aside from the one angel Vs. many angels contradiction you will notice that Mohammed mostly refers to Allah as a singular entity throughout the Koran. However, he is not consistent with this as we see in the above verse where Mohammed says WE not I. Clearly he refers to Allah as a plural entity in this verse. There are many other such verses in the Koran (Refer to verses 21:43-51). God cannot make such a glaring mistake and therefore, it must be Mohammed who is stating these verses in the Koran.

dear Dhir,
that was a very unintellectual quotation from any extremist newspaper, where nobody knows anything axcept their prejudices. but if u wanted to say, that the holy quran was written by mohammed or he was the person whos mind was behind the quran, then u may say it. even the christians are saying the same, but there is nobody, who has any evedences or prooves about this insinuation.
i have noted u in the discussion forums. ur kawwa(crow) is white(its a punjabi wisdom). too much prejudices make ugly.

Dhir,

First of all, The Holy Quran is the word of Allah. It was NOT written/produced by the Blessed Prophet (PBUH). With this in mind you should know better than to make stupid remarks such as :-

.. According to what Mohammed has stated
in the Koran…
.. In the above verses Mohammed refers…

You have been on gupshup long enough to know the value and respect muslims place on the Holy Quran and on the Blessed Prophet(PBUH), and I’m assuming you’re old enough and wise enough not to make such obvious insulting & derogatory remarks about Islam.

Regarding :- How Many Days Did It Take To Create Heavens And Earth?

In your haste to prove contradictions in the Holy Quran, you managed to master the addition of integers but overlooked the basics of project management. Forget about God for a second and think about the following scenario regarding human behaviour. When a contracting company builds a house or any other building, do they wait until the roof is complete before they begin installing the doors & windows ?..or wait until all the flooring to be complete before they start on the wiring and plumbing ?…NO they don’t !, there are many smaller tasks which are executed in PARALLEL.

If they waited for one task to be complete before starting another, a house which would normally take 2-3 months to complete could take 6/7 months. So although the over all building will take say, 3 months to complete, the whole project consists of many smaller tasks each with their own time frame and many of which are running in parallel with each other. Therefore if us mere humans can carry out parallel tasks don’t you think God can also ?.

Yes in the verses you have quoted, Allah Taala mentions how long each task/creation took, but he never said that he waited for one to complete before the next one started !. if you have never used Microsoft Project, I recommend you do so..it will give you a good visual diagram of what parallel tasks look like within the lifetime of a project !.

Regarding :- Allah's Day Equals 1,000 Years or 50,000 Years?

Attention to detail !!!!! Look at the following two verses you quoted :-

(Koran 22:47)
...A day in the sight of thy Lord is like a thousand years of your reckoning.
(Koran 32:5)
...To Him, on a Day, The space whereof will be a thousands years of your reckoning.

Notice how they contain the words ‘…sight of thy LORD’ and ‘..To HIM…’ Now look at the third verse :-

(Koran 70:4)
The angels and the Spirit ascend unto him in a day the measure whereof is fifty thousand years.

There is no mention of Allah Taala in the above verse..only ‘..the Angels and the Spirit’.

First off all, Allah the almighty and the angles DO NOT reside on the same dimension, There are boundaries which the angels cannot cross and they are there to maintain a distance between the Creator and his creation. Or to put it in a scenario you will understand, the King does not share his chambers with the court jester !. Now all these dimensions have their own properties and the length of time is also perceived different on each dimension. Therefore, in the sight of Allah, a day does last 1000 earth years but on a different dimension (ie where the angels are) that same day lasts 50,000 earth years. If you can’t get your head around dimension theory then consider the following example of something closer to home.

In our solar system we have 9 planets. And because they are at different distances from the sun, a year on each planet is longer/shorter than a year on a different planet. For example, on earth, one year is 365 days, and yet on Neptune which is the 8th planet from the sun, one year is equivalent to 164 Earth years !. So which one is correct 365 days or 164 years. They BOTH are..it is all relative !

Ragarding :- How Many Gardens Of Paradise?

Ok, I can’t believe you’re serious about this but never the less I will once again simplify it for you. Heaven is one big garden. BUT within that, the righteous will have their own homes/mansions/palaces to live in and these will no doubt have their own gardens and stuff. So you have Heaven as one big garden which is then sub-devided into smaller gardens for each person. Is that really too difficult to grasp !. You have one plot of grass outside your house..you call it a garden!…now you decide to plant a headge in the middle and separate it in to two..so do you now have one garden with a separation in it or two gardens ?…dude lets use some common sense here !

(Koran 78:32)
GARDENS enclosed, and Grapevines

read the ‘enclosed’ bit again !

unfortunately I don’t have a lot of time at the moment but I will get a reply to everything you wrote in your last post and Insha-allah everyone (and hopefully you also !) will come to understand that the so called ‘contradictions’ you claim are in the Holy Quran, are nothing more than your obvious lack of knowledge about Islam.

First of all, Thank you very much to Ashiq and Naz for covering me in my absence. Naz you did a great job, may Allah reward you.
Dhir seems like having problem understanding the Quran, however, it is not only his problem, it is the problem with most of the non-mulisms.
Dhir, your first objection on Quran "How Many Days Did It Take To Create Heavens And Earth?" lacks the understanding of the verses.

(Koran 41:9)
Is it that ye Deny Him who created the earth in TWO days?...
(Koran 41:10)
He set on the (earth). Mountains standing firm,
high above it, and bestowed blessings on the
earth, and measured therein all things to
give them nourishment in due proportion, in FOUR days...
(Koran 41:12)
So He completed them as seven firmaments in TWO days and...
<<
The four days in verse 41:10 include the 2 days in verse 41:9. The process of describing in verse 9 and 10 forms really one sereis, that is the creation of the earth including the creation of the formless matter of the earth and the gradual evolution of the form of the earth, its mountains and seas. and its animal and vegetable life, with the "nourshiment in the propotion," proper to each.

Allah's Day Equals 1,000 Years or 50,000 Years? <<<
To your understanding, the word used for "day" in Quran is "Yom" means a period of time. It does not necessarily means that all the "period of time" in the Quran should have the same length. In addition, if you have a closer look at the verse, you will know that each of the "periods" mentioned in the verses has its own significance.
"The angels and the Spirit ascend unto him in a PERIOD the measure whereof is fifty thousand years." In this verse, Allah tells us how long it takes the angels and Spirit ascend unto him. It has nothing to do with how long a day is.
I think Naz explained well the misconception of yours about the gardens. Quran might talk about a specific garden at a time, but It does not claim that there is only one garden in the paradise.

(Koran 56:7)
And ye shall be sorted out into THREE classes. <<<
You have not read the rest of the verses in this chapter otherwise you would not have had this misunderstading. According to this chapter, people will be divied into three classes. Among the good there will be specially exaclted class, those nearest to Allah, then the rightous people generally, called the right hand people and then the wrong doers, the left hand people. Here are the rest of the verses that explain the three classes
(7. And ye shall be sorted out into three classes.
8. Then (there will be) the Companions of the Right Hand;- What will be the Companions of the Right Hand? (1)
9. And the Companions of the Left Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Left Hand? (2)
10. And those Foremost (in Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter). (3)
11. These will be those Nearest to Allah. (Chapter 56:7-11))
You did not bother to read the next few verses and starting claimimg the contradictions..shame..
In addition, your knowlege of understanding the Quran is soley based on a translation not on the actuall text of Quran i.e. Arabic. Therefore, you mostly misunderstand and misquote the verses of Quran.
You understanding of "angels" is also based on misunderstanding of the translation. The word used for "angels" in 3:42 and 3:45 is "MALAIKAH", whereas the world for "angel" in 19:17 is "ROOHENA". This word "ROOHENA" in Quran is especially used for "Jabrail" not for any one angel. Jabrial is called "ROOH" meaning Spirit at many places in Quran. So it is never the matter of plural and singular.
Who Takes The Souls After Death? <<<<
Angels takes the souls after the death by Allah's permission. So when Allah says that the angels take the soul or when He says that He takes the spirit. They both means that Angels take the soul after death with the permission of Allah. Why is it so hard to understand??? Try to broaden your understanding.
"WE" for Allah is a tranlated word for respect. Again your almost zero knowledge of Arabic, in Arabic and even in Hebrew, There are two kinds of plural, one for numbers, and the other one for respect. In Quran, Allah used the word for respect for himself. However, in English there is only one plural word, so the translators have no choice but to use "WE" for respect. Very poor knowledge of yours... I wish you ponder before you write anything against Quran.
Well, if I left any of your rumors, I will try to address them in the next comment. But please try to read Quran with a true heart. May Allah guide you.

Hey Dhir !...are you still there ??
NabeelC...I think you scared him off yaar !

Naz jee,
Thank you for your appreciation. You did the first attack on his rumor so the credit goes to you. I am really impressed by you knowledge and interest in religious matters.
It is very nice to meet you, you could call me Nabeel.
