It is the journey of creation which Allah, the Almighty, ordered us to contemplate at,
to realize Allah's blessing bestowed upon us and what beautiful when the believer
lives submissively, even for seconds, when he sees the power of Allah is reflected in
the creation of the fetus in his mother's womb. All praises to you Allah! Who created
us in the most beautiful, most magnificent and best form, and granted us your
blessings, the apparent and the hidden. You are more knowing of us than ourselves;
you have talked to us in your glorious book saying: “He knows you well when He
created you from the earth, and when you were fetuses in your mothers’ wombs. So
ascribe not purity to yourselves. He knows best him who fears Allâh and keeps his
duty to Him" Surah An-Najm [The Gathering], 53:32. Oh Allah, we shall neither
ascribe purity to ourselves nor to anyone else, as you are more knowing of our
doings and more knowing of what fits our situation, so prepare for us a knowledge
that gives us benefit and makes us closer to you. Ref: Secrets of Quran Miracles

DNA --- The genetic codeDNA is a macromolecule located at the nucleus of
every cell of our body, it contains more than
three thousands millions information! It also
contains the systems needed for cell
reproduction and the information that guarantee
cellular health and body health in general. One of
Allah’s secrets bestowed in DNA is that nobody
can have DNA similar to another one, therefore it
is considered as a perfect genetic fingerprint to
identify any person and distinguish him form
others.is it a coincidence? Allah Almighty says
about Himself: (He is Allah, the Creator, the
Inventor of all things, and the Bestower of forms.
To Him belong the Best Names) Surah Al-Hashr

There are many benefits in the fig fruit that were mentioned in the Glorious Quran,
and rather Allah, the Almighty took an oath by it. The most important of which is that
fig is very rich in minerals. It is also very useful in the prevention of cancer. It also acts
as tonic for the cells; it delays the aging process and contains a substance excreted by
the brain which is very vital material and necessary for the function of the heart,
brain and organs of the body. It is necessary to take few pieces of figs after the age of
35 to supply the body with this item that is necessary for its vitality. Some research
also confirms that the leaves of the cactus benefit diabetic patients. Does not this
fruit deserve to be taken oath with by Allah, the Almighty and even a special Sura;
chapter in the Quran to be named after it. Allah stated in Glorious Quran, Al-Tin [The
Fig] 95:1-4, ‘By the Fig and the Olive, And the Mount of Sinai, And this City of
security,- We have indeed created man in the best of moulds’.

A recent British study has found that the growth of the brain lasts until almost the age of forty
and then it stops afterwards. Another study affirms that the mental capacities start to
deteriorate after the age of forty. Amazingly, the holy Qur’an says that man reaches the age of
full strength when he becomes forty and then consequently starts deteriorating after wards.
Allah, the almighty says in the holy Qur'an:
“We have enjoined on man kindness to his parents: In pain did his mother bear him, and in
pain did she give him birth. The carrying of the (child) to his weaning is (a period of) thirty
months. At length, when he reaches the age of full strength and attains forty years, he says,
"O my Lord! Grant me that I may be grateful for Thy favour which Thou has bestowed upon
me, and upon both my parents, and that I may work righteousness such as Thou mayest
approve; and be gracious to me in my issue. Truly have I turned to Thee and truly do I bow (to
Thee) in Islam."” Ahqaf: 46: 15
Our question to all skeptics of the message of Islam is how Prophet Mohammad, PBUH, knew
that the age of forty is the separating line between the completion of mental capacities and
the deterioration of such capacities.

Explanation About Total number of Ayat (verses) in Al Quran (Click Here)
Scholars have different opinions about the number of the Quranic verses.
But this conflict is just about “numerating” the verses.
Here are some points about the difference:
a) Some scholars numerated the long sentences as 2 or 3 verses, while some others regarded
them as 1 whole verse.
b) Besides, Shafii scholars regarded “Bismillah r- Rahman-ir-Rahim” as a part of each sura and
didn’t numerate them. But the Hanafi scholarsregarded each “Bismillah r- Rahman-ir-Rahim”
as specific verses, so counted them.
c) It’s the same about the hurooful muqattaa (some secret letters which are written in the
beginning of some suras like ”Ya sin, ha mim”.) Some scholars numerated them as specific
verses, while the others not.
The number of the verses according to Scholars:
 Ibn-i-Abbas (RA): 6616
 Nafi (RA): 6217
 Shayba (RA): 6214
 Scholars of Egypt (RA): 6226
21

 Zamahshari (RA) (the genius Eloquence Scholar of the Arabic language and literature): 6666.
 Bediuzzaman, mujaddid (the reformer) of the 13 century, also has the opinion of 6666 verses.
 Ibn-i Huzeyme (one of the big imams) made the following explanations on “6666” issue while
handling the “Quran’s miracle of number” topic of his book titled “An Nasih wa’l Mansuh”:
1) 1000 verses about Promising (wa’ad)
2) 1000 about Threat (wa’id)
3) 1000 Command (amr) verses
4) 1000 Forbiddance (nahy) verses
5) 1000 Information and Story verses
6) 1000 Warning and Example verses
7) 500 verses about Ruling
8) 100 verses about Invocation and Glorification
9) 66 “nasih and mansuh” ("the Abrogating and Abrogated") verses
Totally there are 6666 verses in the Quran
Consequently, the expression “Quran has 6666 verses.” is based on the mentioned points.

(1000+1000+1000+1000+1000+1000+500+100+66 = 6666)

Rahman-ir-Rahim” not included except for Surah Al Fatihah.

Explanation About number of Ruku in Al Quran (Click Here)
 There are 540 Ruku in Al Quran. (Click Here)
 This subdivision is not part of original revelation but adopted later-on to facilitate
completion of Al Quran on the 27th night of Ramadan (i.e. on Laylatul Qadr).
 The Ruku of The Holy Quran was not to be found in the time of Nabi Muhammad (‫,)ﷺ‬ nor
in the time of the Sahaaba (RA). Around 4 AH the Ulema of Bukhara, Russia divided the
entire Quran into 540 Ruku for Taraaweeh purposes.
 The Equation is as Follows:
 When devising these Ruku the Ulema made sure that Ruku contained Ayat of the
same topic and theme; because the Hafiz goes into Ruku after reciting it in one
Raka'at of Taraaweeh Salaah.
 After further study found that Al Quran has Actual 558 Ruku. (Click Here)
(558 Ruku followed in the present discussion)
1 Ruku per Raka'at x 20 Raka'at = 20 Ruku per Night of Ramadan x 27 Nights of Ramadan = 540 Ruku

This Surah was revealed in Makkah. There is a difference of opinion as some commentators of
the Quran say that this Surah was revealed in Madinah.
Like Surah Dhuha and Surah Al-Inshirah, this Surah is a continuation of the reassurance and
comfort given there to Prophet Muhammad (‫.)ﷺ‬ Allah (‫)ﷻ‬ by sending down Surah Kauthar
reassured the Holy Prophet as well as foretold the destruction of his opponents.
Muslim, Nisai and Abu Dawud, all recorded from Anas that he said, “While we were with the
Prophet Muhammad (‫)ﷺ‬ in the Mosque, he drowsed off into a slumber. Then he lifted his
head smiling. We said, `O Prophet of Allah (‫!)ﷻ‬ What has caused you to laugh?’ He said, Verily,
a Surah was just revealed to me. Then he recited, surah Kawthar.

Indeed, We have granted you ‫.الكوثر‬ So pray to your Lord and sacrifice. Indeed, your enemy is

Then he said, Do you all know what is? We said, `Allah (‫)ﷻ‬ and His Prophet know best.’ He
said, Indeed, it is a river that my Lord, the All-powerful and Majestic, has promised me and it
has plentiful goodness. Its containers are as numerous as the stars in the sky. It is a pond
where my Ummah will be brought to on the Day of Judgment. Then a servant of Allah (‫)ﷻ‬
from among them will be (prevented from it), and I will say: “O Lord! Verily, he is from my
followers.” Then He [Allah (‫])ﷻ‬ will say: “Verily, you do not know what he introduced (or

Bukhari recorded from Anas, “When the Prophet Muhammad (‫)ﷺ‬ was taken up to the
heaven, he said, I came to a river whose banks had domes of hollowed pearl. I said: “O Jibril!
What is this” He replied: “This is ‫الكوثر‬. Bukhari also recorded from Said bin Jubayr that Ibn
Abbas said, ‫الكوثر‬ is the abundant goodness. This explanation includes the river and other
things as well. Because the word ‫الكوثر‬ comes from the word ‫کثرۃ‬ abundance and it ‫الكوثر‬
linguistically means an abundance of goodness.
Ahmad bin Hanbal recorded from Anas that a man said, “O Prophet of Allah (‫!)ﷻ‬ What
is ‫الكوثر‬” He replied, َ‫ُو‬‫ه‬‫ر‬ْ‫ه‬َ‫ن‬‫ي‬ِ‫ف‬ِ‫ة‬َّ‫ن‬َ‫ج‬ْ‫ال‬ِ‫ه‬‫ي‬ِ‫ن‬‫ا‬َ‫ط‬ْ‫ع‬َ‫أ‬،‫ِّي‬ِ‫ب‬َ‫ر‬َ‫و‬ُ‫ه‬َ‫ل‬‫َد‬‫ش‬َ‫أ‬‫ا‬ً‫ض‬‫ا‬َ‫ي‬َ‫ب‬َ‫ن‬ِ‫م‬َّ‫ل‬‫ال‬،ِ‫ن‬َ‫ب‬‫ى‬َ‫ل‬ْ‫ح‬َ‫أ‬ َ‫و‬َ‫ن‬ِ‫م‬،ِ‫ل‬َ‫س‬َ‫ع‬ْ‫ال‬ِ‫ه‬‫ي‬ِ‫ف‬‫ور‬ُ‫ي‬ُ‫ط‬َ‫ن‬ْ‫ع‬َ‫أ‬‫ا‬َ‫ه‬ُ‫ق‬‫ا‬

sweeter than honey. There are birds in it whose necks are (long) like carrots.) Umar said, “O
Prophet of Allah (‫!)ﷻ‬ Verily, they (the birds) will be beautiful.” The Prophet replied ‫ا‬َ‫ه‬ُ‫ل‬ِ‫ك‬‫آ‬ُ‫م‬َ‫ع‬ْ‫ن‬َ‫أ‬َ‫ه‬ْ‫ن‬ِ‫م‬‫ا‬

Traditions also put light on verse 3: َّ‫ن‬ِ‫إ‬َ‫ك‬َ‫ئ‬ِ‫ن‬‫َا‬‫ش‬َ‫ُو‬‫ه‬ُ‫َر‬‫ت‬ْ‫ب‬َ ْ‫اْل‬ Indeed, your enemy is the one cut off.
These traditions narrated from Ibn Abbas, Qatadah, Ikrimah, and Mujahid stated, “This verse
was revealed about Al As bin Wail. Whenever the Messenger of Allah (‫)ﷻ‬ would be mentioned
(in his presence) he would say, Leave him, for indeed he is a man who is cut off having no
descendants. So when he dies he will not be remembered. So Allah (‫)ﷻ‬ revealed, َّ‫ن‬ِ‫إ‬َ‫ك‬َ‫ئ‬ِ‫ن‬‫َا‬‫ش‬َ‫ُو‬‫ه‬َ‫ت‬ْ‫ب‬َ ْ‫اْل‬ُ‫ر‬
It has been reported that Ata said, “This Surah was revealed about Abu Lahab when a son of
the Messenger of Allah (‫)ﷻ‬ died. Abu Lahab went to the idolators and said, `Muhammad has
been cut off (i.e., from progeny) tonight.’ So concerning this Allah (‫)ﷻ‬ revealed, َّ‫ن‬ِ‫إ‬َ‫ك‬َ‫ئ‬ِ‫ن‬‫َا‬‫ش‬َ‫ُو‬‫ه‬َ ْ‫اْل‬ُ‫َر‬‫ت‬ْ‫ب‬
As-Suddi said, “When the male sons of a man died the people used to say, He has been cut off.
