Introduction
Most people nowadays wonder about the meaning of: "Numeric Miracles of
The Holy Qur'an". Books published by Noon Center for Qur'anic Studies
might somewhat give an answer to this question. However, for one reason
or another, most people never had the chance to review or read these
books. As such, we thought it would be appropriate to draw the
attention of the reader to some chosen examples of "Numeric Miracles of
The Holy Qur'an". Some of the examples to be mentioned below were taken
out of their context, and as such, lost some of their factor of
surprise. Our objective behind this briefing is to give the incentive
to people to maybe follow up on this ongoing research of Noon Center
such as is publications of: "The Miracle of the Number 19 in the Holy
Qur?an ? Premises Awaiting Outcomes", "The Expectations of Numeric
Miracles in the Holy Qur'an", "That ye may know the count of the years
& the (numbers) mathematics " and "The Decline of the state of Israel
by 2022: a prediction or a numeric coincidence?"
The studies of Numeric Miracles of the Holy Quran are based on two
main bases:
1. The Jum?mal: (or geometrical value): a simple mathematical approach
based on assigning a fixed number for each letter of the Arabic
alphabet. This approach is used in Semitic languages that Arabic is
considered a part of.
2. The prime number "19" which is the first number to be mentioned
specifically in the Holy Qur'an after the revelation in the Prophet?s
mission or apostolic phase .

Surat An-Naml (The Ants)
Surat An-Naml comes as number 27 in the order of the Holy Qur'an. It
consists of 93 Aya's (Verses).
Knowing that Surat An-Naml begins with the opening (luminous) letters
(? ?), consider the following observations:
1. The repetitions of the letter (?) in this Sura is 27 times which is
the order of this Sura in The Holy Qur'an & that of the letter (?) is
93, which is the number of the verses in this sura.
2. 27 [repetitions of the letter (?)] + 93 [repetitions of the letter
(?)] = 120; Which is The Jum?mal of the word (??? = ? ? ?); the name of
this Sura, calculated as follows:
50 (for ?) + 40 (for ?) + 30 (for ?) = 120 (=93+27 [repetition of the
letters? &? as mentioned above]).
Surat At-Tawba (repentance) takes the order 9 in the Holy Qur'an.
Unlike all other Sura's, it does not start with "??? ???? ??????
??????: In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful", i.e:
Basmala. However, in Surat An-Naml the Basmala is repeated twice: in
the beginning of the Sura and in the Aya number 30 that means:
It is from Solomon, and is [as follows]:"In the name of Allah, Most
Gracious, Most Merciful".
Following are some numeric relations between these two Sura's:
If we start counting from Surat At-Tawba (No. 9), through Surat An-
Naml (No. 27), (inclusive), the latter's order becomes (19). The
difference between the numbers representing the order of the two Sura's
is 27 ? 9 = 18. Keep these two numbers in mind, i.e.: 18 & 19 and
consider the following:
1. The summation of the numbers representing the order of these two
Sura's (9 through 27) is: (9 + 10 + 11 + . . . + 27) = 342 which is the
same as the multiplication of the above mentioned numbers 18 & 19. i.
e.: 18X19=342.
2. Possibilities for numbers that their subtraction is 18 are
infinite. However, only the summation of 9 through 27 will give the
outcome of 342 which happens to be the outcome of the multiplication of
the two numbers 18 & 19 as well.
3. The mentioning of the word )An-Naml: (?????in the whole Holy Qur'an
is only twice, in the same verse: Aya 18 of Surat An-Naml. Counting
the words in this Aya, we astonishingly find them to be 19 .Hence again
the numbers 18 & 19.
Surat An-Na?l (The Bees)
Surat An- Na?l comes as number 16 in the order of the Holy Qur'an. It
consists of 128 Aya (Verses).
Notes about this Sura:
1. The number of Chromosomes in cell of the wasp (the he bee) is 16,
which is the order of this Sura in the Holy Qur'an.
2. The word An- Na?l was mentioned only once in the whole Holy Qur'an,
in Aya No. 68 of this Sura at hand. If the words in this Aya are
counted, one will find them to be 13 words. Multiplying this number by
the order in which this Aya was listed in this Sura (68) will give us
13X 68 = 884. The surprise will be attained if the words from the
beginning of the Sura until the word An- Na?l are counted. It will be
found that they also are 884!!!
3. Bearing observation No. 2 above in mind, when all the Aya's
numbered 16 in the whole Holy Qur'an were counted, the total was 85.
The total words of all these Aya's is the astonishing number 884 as
above!!
4. The total Aya's in the Holy Qur'an numbered 68 until Aya no. 68 in
Surat An- Na?l are 13, multiplying these numbers 13 X 68 = 884
again!!!!
5. The Aya's numbered the multiples of 16 in this Sura, which consists
of 128 Aya's are: 16, 32, 48, 80, 96, 112 & 128. The total words in all
these Aya's are 119. Now this number 119 is the Jum'mal of the word:
An- Na?l. (the bees).
6. Bearing observation No. 5 above in mind, it is also astonishing to
know that all the Aya's from the beginning of the Holy Qur'an that are
the multiple of the number 16 until the Aya 128 of Surat An- Na?l are
also 119.
7. Refer to observations No. 2 & 6 above and let's have a further look
at the combinations of some other numbers:
Total of Aya's numbered the multiple of 16 are 85, multiplying these
numbers yields: 16 X 85 = 1360.
The total words in these Aya's are 884. Adding this to the above
number: 1360, gives: 884 + 1360 = 2244.
The total words in this Sura is 1844. This added to the order of the
Sura gives 16+1844 = 1860. If this number is added to the above, the
outcome is:
1860 + 2244 = 4,104. What does this number 4104 mean?
A. 4104 = 19 X 216, 216 = 63, i.e. the cube of 6, i.e. 6 X 6 X 6. The
number six happens to also be the number of sides in a hexagonal shape,
which is the shape of the bee cell!!!
B. The number 4104 is the Jum?mal of Aya 68 (the only Aya in which the
word An- Na?l is mentioned in the whole Holy Qur'an).
Surat Al- ?adeed (The Iron)
Surat Al- ?adeed comes as number 57 in the order of the Holy Qur'an.
It consists of 29 Aya (Verses).
Notes about this Sura:
1. This is the only Sura in the Holy Qur'an that refers to a name of
an element or substance which is the iron.
2. The Jum'mal of the word Al- ?adeed is 57, which is the order of
this Sura in the Holy Qur'an. 57 is also the atomic weight of the iron.
There are 5 isotopes of the iron, namely: 55, 56, 57, 58 & 59. The
median of which is: 57.
3. The Jum'mal of the word ?adeed is 26, which is the atomic number of
the iron.
4. As mentioned above, the number of Aya's in this Sura is 29. If this
number is multiplied by the number of the order of the Sura (57), the
outcome is:
57 X 29 = 1653. What does this number 1653 mean? Let's take the
summation of all the numbers of the orders of all Sura's from 1 through
57 (Al- ?adeed), the outcome is 1 + 2 + 3 + . . . + 57 = 1653?!
5. When the order of each Sura in the Holy Qur'an was multiplied by
the number of Aya's contained in the respective Sura the list of the
114 Aya's was put in descending order. Surat Al- ?adeed was the only
Sura that preserved the same order of 57.
Surat Nu? (Noah)
Surat Nu? comes as number 71 in the order of the Holy Qur'an. It
consists of 28 Aya (Verses).
Notes about this Sura and the number of its Aya's (28):
1. The name of the prophet Nu? (without any prefixes or suffixes) was
mentioned 28 times in the Holy Qur'an in 28 different Sura's.
2. In Surat Nu?, again, the word Nu? was mentioned 3 times. If the
Jum'mal of the word Nu? (=64) is multiplied by the number of
occurrences (3 times), the outcome is 192. This number 192, is the
order of the third occurrence of the word Nu? in Surat Nu?.
3. As mentioned above, Surat Nu? comes as number 71 in the order of
the Holy Qur'an. If the number of its Aya's is subtracted from the
number representing its order, the following is the outcome 71 - 28 =
43. What does this 43 mean? The word Nu? (with or without
prefixes/suffixes) was mentioned 43 times in the whole Holy Qur'an!
4. Surat Nu? is the last Sura in which the word Nu? is mentioned. In
other words, there are 43 Sura's after Surat Nu? in which this word is
not mentioned. To translate to numbers:
(Total number of Sura's in the Holy Qur'an) ? (order of Surat Nu?),
i.e.:
114 ? 71 = 43
Again, and as mentioned above, 28 Sura's contained the word Nu?
without prefixes or suffixes. This also means that 43 Sura's before
Surat Nu? did not mention this word. In the form of numbers: 71 ? 28 =
43
5. It is known that the life span of prophet Nu? is 950 years! It is
expected as such that there are some reference to this number in the
Sura that bears his name. However, it was found that the total number
of letters in Surat Nu? is 953 letters. It is worth investigating the
only three occurrences of the last letter in the word Nu?, i.e. the
letter (?), in all Surat Nu? occurred only in the word Nu?. In other
words, in all the Sura, the letter (?) was mentioned only three times
in the word Nu? alone!! Isn't this worth raising the eye brow?!
Surat As-Sajdah (The Prostration)
Surat As-Sajdah comes as number 32 in the order of the Holy Qur'an. It
consists of 30 Aya (Verses).
Notes about this Sura:
1. Some researchers had noticed that the letters (? ? ?) comprising
the root of the verb Sajad in Arabic from which the name of this Sura
can be derived occurred in 32 Sura's of the 114 of the Holy Qur'an.
2. It is well known that the number of Sajdat in the Holy Qur'an are
15, one of which is in Aya no. 15 of Surat As-Sajdah. One of its
translations is as follows:
Only those believe in Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons,
signs, revelations, etc.), who, when they are reminded of them fall
down to prostrate, and glorify the Praises of their Lord, and they are
not proud.
? What draws the attention to this particular Aya is that it comes as
number 15 in the Sura and is comprised of 15 words as well, in
accordance with the total number of Sajdat in the Holy Qur'an
3. As mentioned above, this Sura is comprised of 30 Aya's. Being
number 15, the specific Aya of Sajdah comes as such, at the beginning
of the 2ndhalf of the Sura. What if multiply this indication, 2nd with
the number identifying the location of this Aya, i.e. 15 X 2 = 30, is
the total number of Aya's in Surat As-Sajdah.
4. In accordance with no. 3 above, let's move another step further:
what if we multiply the number standing for the order of the word
Sujjadan (=186) in this sura with the same index (2), this will give
us 186 X 2 = 372. The surprise is that 372 is exactly the total words
in Surat As-Sajdah.
Surat Al-Haji (The Pilgrimage)
Surat Al-Hajj comes as number 22 in the order of the Holy Qur'an. It
consists of 78 Aya (Verses).
Notes about this Sura:
1. The word Al-Hajj was repeated 9 times in the Holy Qur'an, the last
of which was in Aya No. 27 of Surat Al-Hajj. One of its translations
is as follows:
And proclaim to mankind the Hajj (pilgrimage). They will come to you
on foot and on every lean camel, they will come from every deep and
distant (wide) mountain highway (to perform Hajj).
? This sheds the light on the importance of this ninth repetition of
the word Al-Hajj as the whole Sura was named after it: Al-Hajj
2. The number of words (in the original Arabic Text of the Holy Qur'an
i.e. Ottoman Writing) in the above mentioned Aya is 14 words. If this
number is multiplied by the number representing the order of the Sura,
it gives: 14 X 27 = 378. What is astonishing is the fact the result of
this multiplication is also the summation of the numbers from 1 through
27, the latter being the order of the Aya in which the word Al-Hajj is
mentioned.
3. If the above number, 378, is added to the number of Aya's in this
Sura (78), the result is: 378 + 78 = 456 and the surprise is this
number is the order in which the word Al-Hajj comes in Surat Al-Hajj.
4. As mentioned above, the word Al-Hajj is repeated 9 times through
out the Holy Qur'an. If this number is multiplied by the Jum'mal of the
word Al-Hajj (=42), this gives us: 9 X 42 = 378 again, also bearing in
mind that the ninth repetition of word Al-Hajj is that occurring in
Aya no. 27 of Surat Al-Hajj.
5. If the number (=27) representing the order of the above Aya is
multiplied by the number of words (=14) and by the number of letters
(=51) in it: 27 X 14 X 51 = 19278. Dividing this result by the value of
the Jum'mal of the word Al-Hajj (=42): 19278 ÷ 42 = 459 which is the
order of the 7th word in the above Aya no.27. One can understand the
repetition of the number 7 in the Hajj rituals as Moslems are required
to go 7 times around Al-Ka'ba and to walk 7 times hurriedly between two
locations near Al-Ka'ba called As-Safa & Al-Marwa.
Surat Al-Kahf (The Cave)
Surat Al-Kahf comes as number 18 in the order of the Holy Qur'an. It
consists of 110 Aya (Verses).
Notes about this Sura:
1. Surat Al-Kahf, as mentioned above, takes the order 18 in the Holy
Qur'an. What is interesting about the number 18 is that it is also the
number of Aya's that tell the story of the "people of the cave"!
2. If one starts counting words from the beginning of the Aya that
starts talking about the "people of the cave", namely the beginning of
Aya no. 9, one would find that immediately after the number 309 is
reached comes the sentence: "three hundred and nine". This happens in
Aya no. 25 of Surat Al-Kahf, which is the duration spent inside the
cave by these people!
3. The total number of letters that tell the story of "the people of
the cave" is 1401. If this number is added to Jum'mal the verse "Surat
Al-Kahf" (=407), it gives: 1401 + 407 = 1808. The result of the
addition is Jum'mal the verse:
"three hundred (solar) years, and add nine "
Surat Maryam & ?âd (Miriam & ?âd)
Surat Al-Maryam comes as number 19 in the order of the Holy Qur'an,
Surat ?âd as 38. They consist of 98 & 88 Aya (Verses), respectively.
There are 29 Suras in the Holy Qur?an beginning with letters, such as:
"Alif. Lam. Mim", "Alif. Lam. Ra.", "Kaf.Ha.Ya.'Ayn. ?âd", etc. These
are called luminous letters and the two Sura's at hand start with them.
Notes about these Sura's:
1. These two Sura's being no. 19 & 38, are the only two starting with
the luminous letters and also the multiple of the number 19. Check the
following table:
Order Name & Jum'mal Luminous letters & their Jum'mal
19 Maryam (290) Kaf.Ha.Ya.'Ayn. ?âd (195)
38 ?âd (90) ?âd (90)
Total Total of Jum'mal Total of Jum'mal
57 = 19 X 3 380 = 19 X 20 285 = 19 X 15
Total of the order of numbers: = 57 = 19 X 3
Total of of names: =380 = 19 X 20
Total of Luminous Letters: = 285 = 19 X 15
Grand Total: = 722 = 19 X 38
As mentioned above, 19 is the order of Surat Maryam & 38, ?âd!!! In
other words, the grand total is the same as the multiplication of the
numbers representing the orders of the two Sura's!!!
2. Its order being the special no. 19, Surat Maryam must have special
importance if the issue of the number 19 is to be accounted for. It is
true as there are 19 Sura's starting with the luminous letters after
Surat Maryam, and also 19 of the same category before Surat ?âd!
3. The Jum'mal of the word "Sura" is 271. If this number is added to
19, the result is 290, which is the Jum'mal of the word "Maryam".
4. Referring to the order and number of Aya's in Surat Maryam as
listed above. If the number 19 is added to the Jum'mal of the word
"Maryam", the result is 290 + 19 = 309, which is central number is
Surat Al-Kahf, which precedes Surat Maryam.
5. If the number of Aya's in Surat Maryam is added to 309, the result
is 98+309=407, which is the Jum'mal of "Surat Al-Kahf". This might mean
that there are some common secrets relating to the world of numbers
between Surat Al-Kahf and Surat Maryam!
Adam & Messiah (May peace be upon them)
A translation of Aya no. 59 of Surat Âl-'Emran means
Verily, the likeness of 'Iesa (Jesus) before Allâh is the likeness of
Adam. He created him from dust, then (He) said to him: "Be!" - and he
was
The word "Iesa" was repeated 25 times in the Quran, no. 7 was in the
Aya listed above. This is also exactly the case of the word "Adam" as
it was repeated 25 times, no. of which was also in the previous Aya!
There is, as such, a numeric similarity between the two names that
becomes identical in the above mentioned Aya!
Surat Maryam is no. 19 in the Holy Qur'an. The name "Iesa" was
mentioned in it once only in Aya no. 34, this would be the 19th time
it is mentioned in the Holy Qur'an. Again, the word "Adam" was
mentioned only once Surat Maryam and is also the 19th time it is
mentioned in the Holy Qur'an.
If we start counting from Aya 34 (in which the word "Iesa" was
mentioned)in Surat Maryam, then Aya 59 (in which the word "Adam" was
mentioned) will be no. 25 in the order. Keep in mind that 25 is the
total number of times the two words Iesa & Adam were mentioned in the
Holy Qura'n.
The number of Aya's from the beginning of Surat Âl-'Emran (where the
first matching took place) to the beginning of Surat Maryam (where the
second matching took place) is 1957. Which the same when we start
counting from Aya no. 59 of Surat Âl-'Emran (first matching) to Aya 58
of Surat Maryam (second matching). One will be even more surprised to
know that 1957 is the summation of Aya's numbers in which Iesa was
mentioned until the 19th time in Aya no. 34 of Surat Maryam!
What draw even more attention is the fact that the number 1957 = 19 X
103. The difference between Jum'mal the words "Al Messiah" & "Adam" is
103!!!
