WORD REPETITIONS IN THE QURAN Apart from the miraculous characteristics of the Quran which we have looked into so far, it also contains what we can term mathematical miracles. There are many examples of this fascinating Quranic aspect. One example of this is the number of repetitions of certain words in the Quran. 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 Quran. 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 Quran, 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 Quran 88 times, as is the word angels (malaika). The word faith (iman) (without genitive) is repeated 25 times throughout the Quran as is also the word infidelity (kufr). The words paradise and hell are each repeated 77 times. The word zakah is repeated in the Quran 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 Quran 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-taah) also appear the same number of times: 83 The words refuge (maseer) and for ever (abadan) appear the same number of times in the Quran: 28. The words disaster (al-musibah) and thanks (al-shukr) appear the same number of times in the Quran: 75. Sun (shams) and light (nur) both appear 33 times in the Quran. *.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 Quran. 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 Quran, 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 mans 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 Quran, and Allah has commanded man to perform the prayer (salat) five times a day. The word land appears 13 times in the Quran 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 Quran, 32, is 71.111111111111%. Extraordinarily, these figures represent the exact proportions of land and sea on the Earth today.
