Mathematical miracles of the Quran: Word Repetitions
Source: miraclesofthequran.com
Apart from the miraculous characteristics of the Qur’an which we have looked into so far, it also contains what we can term “mathematical miracles.” There are many examples of this fascinating Qur’anic aspect. One example of this is the number of repetitions of certain words in the Qur’an. Some related words are surprisingly repeated the same number of times. Below is a list of such words and the number of repetitions in the Qur’an.
The statement of “seven heavens” is repeated seven times. “The creation of the heavens (khalq as-samawat)” is also repeated seven times.
“Day (yawm)” is repeated 365 times in singular form, while its plural and dual forms “days (ayyam and yawmayn)” together are repeated 30 times. The number of repetitions of the word “month” (shahar) is 12.
The number of repetitions of the words “plant” and “tree” is the same: 26
The word “payment or reward” is repeated 117 times, while the expression “forgiveness” (mughfirah), which is one of the basic morals of the Qur’an, is repeated exactly twice that amount, 234 times.
When we count the word “Say,” we find it appears 332 times. We arrive at the same figure when we count the phrase “they said.”
The number of times the words, “world” (dunya) and “hereafter” (akhira) are repeated is also the same: 115
The word “satan” (shaitan) is used in the Qur’an 88 times, as is the word “angels” (malaika).
The word faith (iman) (without genitive) is repeated 25 times throughout the Qur’an as is also the word infidelity (kufr).
The words “paradise” and “hell” are each repeated 77 times.
The word “zakah” is repeated in the Qur’an 32 times and the number of repetitions of the word “blessing” (barakah) is also 32.
The expression “the righteous” (al-abraar) is used 6 times but “the wicked” (al-fujjaar) is used half as much, i.e., 3 times.
The number of times the words “Summer-hot” and “winter-cold” are repeated is the same: 5.
The words “wine” (khamr) and “intoxication” (saqara) are repeated in the Qur’an the same number of times: 6
The number of appearances of the words “mind” and “light” is the same: 49.
The words “tongue” and “sermon” are both repeated 25 times.
The words “benefit” and “corrupt” both appear 50 times.
“Reward” (ajr) and “action” (fail) are both repeated 107 times.
“Love” (al-mahabbah) and “obedience” (al-ta’ah) also appear the same number of times: 83
The words “refuge” (maseer) and “for ever” (abadan) appear the same number of times in the Qur’an: 28.
The words “disaster” (al-musibah) and “thanks” (al-shukr) appear the same number of times in the Qur’an: 75.
“Sun” (shams) and “light” (nur) both appear 33 times in the Qur’an.
- In counting the word “light” only the simple forms of the word were included.
The number of appearances of “right guidance” (al-huda) and “mercy” (al-rahma) is the same: 79
The words “trouble” and “peace” are both repeated 13 times in the Qur’an.
The words “man” and “woman” are also employed equally: 23 times.

Will they not ponder the Qur’an? If it had been from other than Allah, they would have found many inconsistencies in it.
(Qur’an, 4:82) |
The number of times the words “man” and “woman” are repeated in the Qur’an, 23, is at the same time that of the chromosomes from the egg and sperm in the formation of the human embryo. The total number of human chromosomes is 46; 23 each from the mother and father.
“Treachery” (khiyanah) is repeated 16 times, while the number of repetitions of the word “foul” (khabith) is 16.
“Human being” is used 65 times: the sum of the number of references to the stages of man’s creation is the same: i.e.
Human being 65
Soil (turab) 17
Drop of Sperm (nutfah) 12
Embryo (‘alaq) 6
A half formed lump of flesh (mudghah) 3
Bone (‘idham) 15
Flesh (lahm) 12
TOTAL 65
The word “salawat” appear five times in the Qur’an, and Allah has commanded man to perform the prayer (salat) five times a day.
The word “land” appears 13 times in the Qur’an and the word “sea” 32 times, giving a total of 45 references. If we divide that number by that of the number of references to the land we arrive at the figure 28.888888888889%. The number of total references to land and sea, 45, divided by the number of references to the sea in the Qur’an, 32, is 71.111111111111%. Extraordinarily, these figures represent the exact proportions of land and sea on the Earth today

These fascinating photos from 1880 feature pilgrims from 10 countries during Hajj. Back then, before the advent of modern transport such as commercial air travel, the journey to Hajj was far more difficult and perilous and these pilgrims would have undertaken journeys of weeks or months to reach Makkah.

Assalamualaykum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatuh
My name is Nizam and I live in the US. My parents raised me agnostic, but my family has Christian roots. We only went to church on the holidays, and I went to Sunday school a few times as a kid. We celebrated Christmas and Easter but it was mostly a family get together with presents, there was little to no religious component although I knew the basic “Christmas story” as a child.

FASCINATING SNOWFLAKE FACTS
How Are They Connected
Have you ever played snowball with your friends? You grab a handful of snow, press it together with your hands, and throw it in the direction of your opponent. What you don’t think about in the process is how to make sure the snowflakes stick together. The scientists don’t really know either. One of the theories states that the crystal arms interlock while another theory claims static attraction or special liquid on the snowflake’s surface.
Reflective Snow
Snow reflects heat into space. This effect is most noticeable at the North and South poles because they are covered with snow all year long. This dislike for heat is explained by the fact that ice acts like a mirror and the heat bounces off.
Too Cold Even for Snow
Sometimes winter might be so cold there will be no snow. Snow is essentially frozen water. If the temperatures drop too low, the water does not vaporize into the air as fast and there are not enough water droplets in the air for snow to be created.
Are There Identical Snowflakes?
The answer is yes and no. They are similar to a human fingerprint. Simple snow crystals the snowflake consists of can appear identical. However, there are billions of possible combinations how these crystals can attach to one another. Therefore, the probability of two identical snowflakes is nearly zero.
What Is the Color of Snow?
Snow is, in fact, colorless. White snowflakes drifting lazily on a winter day is an optical illusion because each snowflake is absorbing sunlight and it is done over the wavelengths of visible light (the opposite of a prism effect and the spectrum). However, in Prince Edward Island in Canada, snowflakes often look pink due to the red clay soil. The dust gets in the air and absorbed by the water vapor.
Oh No, There’s Snow!
Some people do not like snow. It’s wet and cold and slick. However, there is actually a psychological term for those who are terrified of snow. This fear is called chionophobia.
