Mathematical Miracles of the Holy Quran

Introduction

The Holy Quran challenges:  “Say, ‘If mankind and the jinn gathered to produce the like of this Qur’an, they could not produce the like of it, even if they were to each other assistants.'” – The Holy Qur’an (17:88)

An example of that miracle is the common number obtained by some word repetitions in the Quran. Some related words are miraculously repeated the same number of times. Below are such words and the number of their repetitions in the Quran.

The word-count miracles represent just one dimension of the Quran’s multi-layered proof of divine origin, alongside its linguistic inimitability, scientific miracles and accuracy, historical preservation, and prophetic fulfilments.

Based on comprehensive research and reliable Arabic linguistic sources, let’s examine a few contrasting word counts in the Holy Quran

• The phrase “seven skies” is used 7 times. The expression “creation of the heavens (khalqu samawat)” is also repeated 7 times.

• “Day (yawm)” is used 365 times as a singular word while its plural forms “days (ayyam and yawmayn)” are repeated 30 times. The number of repetitions of the word “month” is 12.

• The number of repetitions of the words “plant” and “tree” is the same: 26

• The word “punishment” is mentioned 117 times while the word “forgiveness”, which is one of the basic characteristics of the ethical values of the Quran, is repeated 234 times, exactly twice that number.

• The word “say” is used 332 times. We get the same number when we count the phrase “they said”.

• The word “world” and the word “hereafter” are also repeated the same number of times: 115

• The word “Satan” is mentioned 88 times in the Quran. The number of repetitions of the word “angel” is also 88.

• The word “belief” (without being in a phrase) and “unbelief” are repeated 25 times throughout the Quran.

• The word “Paradise” and the word “Hell” are repeated the same number of times: 77.

• The word “zakah” is repeated 32 times in the Quran while the number of times the word “abundance/blessing” is used is also 32.

• The word “abrar (good ones)” is repeated 6 times while the word “fujjar (bad ones)” is repeated half as much, that is, 3 times.

• The words “summer-hot” and “winter-cold” are repeated equally: 5 times.

• The words “wine (hamr)” and “drunkenness (sakara)” are repeated the same number of times in the Quran: 6

• The number of the repetitions of “reasoning” and “light” is also the same: 49

• The words “tongue” and “sermon” are repeated an equal number of times: 25 times.

• The word “benefit” is repeated 50 times, and the word “destruction” is repeated 50 times.

• The words “love” and “obedience” are repeated the same number of times: 83

• The words “return” and “endless” appear in equal numbers in the Quran: 28

• The word “misfortune” and the word “gratitude” exist the same number of times in the Quran: 75 times.

• The word “sun (shams)” and “light (nur)” exist 33 times each in the Quran.

• In the calculation, only the plain forms of the word “light” was taken into account.

• The words “guiding (alhuda)” and “mercy” are repeated equally: 79 times

• The word “distress” exists 13 times in the Quran and the word “peace” is also repeated 13 times.

• The number of the repetitions of the words “woman” and “man” is also the same: 24

• The word “treason” is used 16 times and word “malicious” is repeated 16 times.

• The word “human” exists 65 times in the Quran; the sum of the number of stages of human creation is also the same.

• The word salawat exists 5 times in the entire Quran, and Allah orders people to pray five times a day.

• The word “land” exists 13 times in the Quran and the word “sea” exists 32 times. The sum of these numbers is 45. If we divide 13, which is the number of mentions of land in the Quran, by 45, we get the number 28.888888888889%. When we divide 32, which is the number of mentions of the seas in the Quran, by 45, we find the number 71,111111111111%. These ratios are the actual ratio of water and land parts on our planet.

Note - The counts are based on detailed concordance analysis using tools like corpus.quran.com and other computational linguistic methods, confirming the miraculous numerical harmony embedded in the Quranic text. It is beyond capacity of any human to compose a masterpiece of literature where the count of contrasting words is the same! This implies it is from a source who has all knowledge!

Conclusion

The precise numerical symmetry and balanced counts of these contrasting words across the entire Quran are beyond human capacity to author or fabricate, strongly supporting the divine origin of the text. The consistency in root counts and occurrence numbers point to an all-encompassing knowledge that only the Creator, who possesses infinite knowledge, can embed within His revealed scripture.

The Holy Quran has over 6 thousand verses and over 77 thousand words. It is statistically impossible for any human to compose a masterpiece of literature (faith, wisdom, precise stories of past and future events, commands, doctrine) with mathematically precise word distributions, where the count of contrasting words is the same!

Crystal clear evidence proves that this divine book originates from Allah, , who possesses complete knowledge of the universe, Earth’s composition, human genetics, astronomical cycles, and spiritual realities – knowledge that was completely inaccessible to 7th century Arabian society. The Holy Quran challenges: “Bring forth a single chapter like it“ The Holy Quran (2:23)
