>>>THIS POST WILL BE UPDATED EVERY TIME WE FIND AND VERIFY NEW WORD COUNT MIRACLE IN THE QUR’AN<<<
______________________________________________________________
Why numerical miracles in the Qur’an are proof that it is book from God and not from humans?
In Qur’an, there are many word count miracles among other numerical miracles which are present in the Qur’an. Word counts like:
Angels – mentioned 88 times
Devils – mentioned 88 times
This world – 115 times
Next world- 115 times
Word day nonspecific singular mentioned 365 times, word month singular 12 times just like in a year.
When you present these examples to a non-muslim he often replies, we can also do that, that is easy to do now, so what is special about that??
Such person doesn’t know circumstances when the revelation came down to Muhammed, to appreciate these numerical miracles.
First we need to understand how revelation came down:
Zaid bin Thabit, one of the chief scribes relates: “I used to write down the revelation for the Holy Prophet, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. When the revelation came to him he felt intense heat and drops of perspiration used to roll down his body like pearls. When this state was over I used to fetch a shoulder bone or a piece of something else. He used to go on dictating and I used to write it down. When I finished writing the sheer weight of transcription gave me the feeling that my leg would break and I would not be able to walk anymore. Anyhow when I finished writing, he would say, ‘Read!’ and I would read it back to him. If there was an omission or error he used to correct it and then let it be brought before the people.” (Mu’jam Al-Tabarani Al-Awst, Hadith 1913. Dar al-Haramain, Cairo, 1415 AH Authenticated by Al-Haithmi in Majma’ Al-Zawaid 8/257, Hadith 13938)
First we need to understand it from Muhammed’s perspective:
-Muhammed was an illiterate person, could not read nor write
-They did not have computers, calculus, enough paper, no search programs etc, you can rely only on your mind.
-Events from real life shape your book, when something happens, you need to make a sign when you start your imaginary revelation from your head. For example if a woman comes to you to talk about how her husband treat her so bad, or if a man comes to complain on his wife, like in Muhammed’s case:
Verse 58:1 God has heard the words of the woman who disputed with you [Prophet] about her husband and complained to God: God has heard what you both had to say. He is all hearing, all seeing. (Qur’an)
It is not like that you just sit down and recite what you want, but sometimes you are forced to recite due to the certain situation and that recitation can destroy your coding, so you have to know how many times you said some word, to not mention it anymore, because if you already said enough words Day to match number 365 just like in a year, you can never say that specific word in your book anymore, or if you do, it would destroy your coding.
Do you understand now how certain future events shape the content of your book?
Could you know future events that will occur so you can plan what words you are going to recite during that situation? No
-Another important thing which needs to be mentioned is Muhammed’s difficult situation during revelation period
– He was beaten, humiliated, lived in economic sanctions, hunger, fear, sorrow because of family members, war because idolators attacked him so many times. Imagine you are I war zone and you want to recite a book which you will claim it is book from God, who would think about numerical coding when you are in war zone , you fight, you hear bullets and grenades fly around you and now you are going to recite a text which will be numerically coded…. I doubt that.
So when you know how the circumstances of the revelation of the Quran and the position of Muhammed during these 23 difficult years, now you can at least understand why we Muslims believe that this is the word of God and not from humans nor Muhammed.
– Many of numerical miracles include knowing chapter-numbers and verse numbers. During the revelation time, there was no numbering of chapters and verses.
Endings of verses were symbols or decorations to indicate that the verse ends there. So you could not say, verse 34 or 57 etc
The numbering of verses came long after a revelation of the Qur’an finished, the numbering of verses was done to make easier for us to refer to certain verses with help of numbers,
instead of explaining to people “in verse which says this and that..”
So imagine now, you don’t have numbered verses, how difficult it would be to a person to program numerically a text without knowing verse numbers,
it would be a real nightmare to try program it. That verses were not numbered during prophet Muhammed’s time is proof that numerical coding/programming of the Quran
comes from God, because there were layers upon layers upon layers of difficulties to try to do something like Qur’an when you consider all difficulties mentioned above.
-During revelation there was no editing process, for example, that the revelation text is changed after it is written, so if someone want to recite imaginary revelation he has only one chance to do it and he cant edit the text anymore, once it is recited, no chance anymore to rewrite the text, because if someone would change the text it would be obvious that it is not revelation, God does not regret so he can never rewrite the text he sent to his prophet.
– One of the biggest difficulties for numerical coding of a book is numerical programming of future events in it, something that will occur in future you have to know specific info
about that event from the future so you can put it in the book. Examples like the moon landing, 9/11 event prophecy etc. were coded numerically in the Qur’an.
Just to know info about future events without revelation is an impossible task, and even if you knew it, next difficulty is to incorporate it in the text of the “imaginary” revelation.
If I told you, this and that will happen in future, here are the crucial numbers 41, 136, 331 and 1436 to use in the coding, how could you as illiterate person recite a text and plan to organize it in the book so that
those numbers match the future event which will be prophecied???
Only all-knowing being, who knows past, present and future can recite and organize a book like this, no human on earth can do this, not even if all humanity joined together to produce something
like it, they could never produce it.
Put yourself in Muhammed’s shoes and try to recite something, to plan how to code your book, if you are in his shoes, illiterate, no helping tools, difficult life situations, future events shape your book etc now you can understand that it cant be his word but word from God.
——————————–
God is telling us about numerical miracles in his book Qur’an:
Verses tell us both directly and indirectly that Qur’an is numerically programmed book
—————–
God give hints that everything is also enumerated/counted in the Qur’an:
78:29 And everything We have enumerated in a Book.
—————
God give hints about number 19 and Quran
74:30 Over it are nineteen
/ then explanation about 19
74:31 none other than angels appointed by Us to guard Hellfire- and We have made their number a test for the disbelievers. So those who have been given the Scripture will be certain and those who believe will have their faith increased: neither those who have been given the Scripture nor the believers will have any doubts, but the sick at heart and the disbelievers will say, ‘What could God mean by this example?’ God leaves whoever He will to stray and guides whoever He will- no one knows your Lord’s forces except Him- this [description] is a warning to mankind.
…
74:35 It is one of the mightiest things
/ we see here that numerical miracle is a challenge for disbelievers and his ability to give certainty” who have been given the Scripture will be certain” that Jews and Christians believe in God becomes even more certain after they see these numerical miracles
“and those who believe will have their faith increased”
/ that we Muslims increase in faith after seeing these numerical miracles in front of us.
—————–
God gives hints about number 7 in the Qur’an:
15:87 We have given thee seven of the oft-repeated, and the mighty Koran.
/ Just like number 19 and 7 , God himself points towards these numbers, it is not we who just pick and choose number and try to find numerical pattern, God himself give hints and we just analyze it and discover patterns…..
—————
God swears in this verse about opposite parts which give hints to opposite words and texts counting numerical miracles in the Quran:
89:3 by the even and the odd,
/ odd and even are opposite just like man and woman are, or angel and devils, or this world-next world etc…
———
God swears in this verse about even and the odd:
89:3 by the even and the odd,
/ this also give hints towards symmetry which is produced by od and even numbers in chapter and verse numbers in the Qur’an
——–
What is the reason God program his book numerically?
Let hear what God says about it:
bear in mind this:
74:31 …and We have made their number a test for the disbelievers. So those who have been given the Scripture will be certain and those who believe will have their faith increased.
the reason for this is:
41:53 We will show them Our Signs in the universe, and in their own selves until it becomes manifest to them that this (the Quran) is the truth. Is it not sufficient in regard to your Lord that He is a Witness over all things?
remember this part: ” and We have made their number a test for the disbelievers”
compare to this what God says:
2:23 If you have doubts about the revelation We have sent down to Our servant, then produce a single sura like it- enlist whatever supporters you have other than God- if you truly [think you can].
24 If you cannot do this- and you never will- then beware of the Fire prepared for the disbelievers, whose fuel is men and stones.
/ we see clearly that numerical miracles are a challenge for disbelievers
“and We have made their number a test for the disbelievers”
=
“then produce a single sura like it- enlist whatever supporters you have other than God- if you truly [think you can].”
What can we achieve from discovering and understanding these numerical patterns in the Qur’an?
1. Increase in faith and certainty that Quran is a revelation from God
2. We prove mathematically that Quran is unchanged since the time of revelation
3. We understand initial letters better?
4. We understand stuff like why God sometimes cut sentences in half to produce two verses, instead of one verse like this
55:1 The merciful.
2. who taught the Quran.
why not put it like 1 verse 55:1 “The merciful who taught the Quran.”
if it was written like this, numerical programming would be broken, several numerical miracles would fall apart if we combine first and second verse into 1 verse.
