The document discusses numerical references and patterns found in certain verses of the Quran. It provides examples of verses where the number of words, letters or syllables correspond to numerical terms in the verse. These include references to 40 nights and 40 letters in the names of intervening surahs. Other examples note the abjad values of terms equaling numbers like 3,000 angels or 5,000 angels. The document asserts these numerical references are further evidence of the miraculous nature of the Quran.

NUMBERS OF SIGNIFICANCE INTHE HOLY QUR'AN

2. The Holy
Qur'an is the
Word of Allah

4.  This section contains the results of
various calculations performed on
Surahs in which numerical terms
appear.
 The same numbers obtained as a
result of different calculations in the
relevant Surah are extremely
noteworthy.

5.  This PPT discusses various types of
calculation such as the numbers of
syllables and letters in the Surahs,
the types of letter and their
numerological values [abjad], and
reveals surprising similarities in the
numbers emerging.

6. The calculations in this section
are not open to discussion;
everyone can arrive at the
same figures by performing
the same calculations.

7. In addition to the sublime
wisdom and knowledge of the
Holy Qur‘ an in terms of
meaning, it also contains very
rich and extraordinary
numerical references.

8. In verse 29 of Surat an-Naba' our
Lord says "... We have recorded
all things in writing."
And verse 28 of Surat al-Jinn
reads "... (Allah) has counted the
exact number of everything."

9. 78:29

10. Sahih International
But all thingsWe have enumerated in writing.
Dr. Ghali
And everything We have enumerated in a
Book.
Farsi
‫ایم‬‫کرده‬ ‫ثبت‬ ‫و‬ ‫شمارش‬ ‫را‬ ‫چیز‬ ‫همه‬ ‫ما‬ ‫و‬!
78:29

11. 72:28

12. Sahih International
That he may know that they have conveyed the messages of their
Lord; and He has encompassed whatever is with them and has
enumerated all things in number.
Dr. Ghali
That He may know they have already proclaimed the Messages of
their Lord. And He has encompassed (all) that is closely (kept)
with them, and He has enumerated everything in numbers."
Farsi
‫و‬ ‫اند؛‬‫کرده‬ ‫ابالغ‬ ‫را‬ ‫پروردگارشان‬ ‫رسالتهای‬ ‫پیامبرانش‬ ‫بداند‬ ‫تا‬‫به‬ ‫او‬

72:28

13. These miraculous numerical
references obtained from the Holy
Qur‘ an are also manifestations of
our Almighty Lord's title of "Al-
Muhsey," or "HeWho knows the
number of everything, even if it is
infinite".

Messengers, and rally to them in assistance, and lend to
Allah a fair loan, indeed I will definitely expiate for you
your odious deeds, and indeed I will definitely cause you

158. The honey bee fills the
hexagonal cells it builds with
honey.
The hexagon is the ideal
shape for comb construction.

159. For example, if the cells in the
combs were pentagonal or
octagonal etc., then all their
edges would not weld together
perfectly, and parts of the comb
would therefore remain used.

160. But through the inspiration of
Allah, bees store the greatest
possible amount of honey by
building their combs in the
form of hexagons.

161. These are the only verses of
the Qur'an that mention bees,
honey and honeycombs.The
abjad value of these verses is

calculation)

162. The total internal
angles of the comb

168.  Drones are male honey bees.They develop from eggs
that have not been fertilized, and they cannot sting,
since the worker bee's stinger is a
modified ovipositor (an egg laying organ)
 Drones carry only one type of allele because they
are haploid (containing only one set
of chromosomes from the mother).
 During the queen's egg developing process, a diploid
cell with 32 chromosomes divides to generate haploid
cells calledgametes with 16 chromosomes.
 The result is a haploid egg, with chromosomes having
a new combination of alleles at the various loci.

177. In revealing how long the Companions
spent in the cave, the Qur'an says "They
stayed in their Cave for three hundred
years and added nine." (Surat al-Kahf, 25)
In interpreting this verse, commentators
say that the Companions of the Cave
slept for 300 solar years or 309 years by
the lunar calendar.

There are 309 undotted letters in

18:25

187. The way that the Qur'an does not
directly state that the Companions of
the Cave spent 309 years in the cave but
also adds an additional 9 years is
exceedingly wise.
This mode of expression thus draws
attention to the difference between
the solar and lunar years. (Allah knows
the truth.)

188. The solar year refers to the
Earth's revolution around
the Sun, and 365.242217
complete revolutions of the
Earth constitute a solar
year.

189. A lunar year consists of
354.36768 days, the
time in which the
Moon orbits the Earth
12 times.

190. There is thus a difference of
10.874537 days between the
solar and lunar years; 100
solar years is thus
equivalent to 103 lunar
years.

191. In order to determine the
equivalent of 300 solar
years in terms of lunar
years, we need to add on 9
more years – just as in the
verse.

192. The total of all the numbers
in this Surah up to this verse
is 300. (300 by the
Gregorian calendar equates
to 309 years by the Islamic
calendar.)

193. There are 309 pages from
this page, the last to refer
to the Companions of the
Cave and their sleep, and
the end of the Qur'an.

194. That was the situation when we woke them up
so they could question one another. One of them
asked, 'How long have you been here?'They
replied, 'We have been here for a day or part of a
day.'They said, 'Your Lord knows best how long
you have been here. Send one of your number
into the city with this silver you have, so he can
see which food is purest and bring you some of it
to eat. But he should go about with caution so
that no one is aware of you. (Surat al-Kahf, 19)
Surat Al-Kahf (The Cave) - ‫سورة‬
‫الكهف‬

195. 18:19

196. Sahih International
And similarly, We awakened them that they might
question one another. Said a speaker from among
them, "How long have you remained [here]?"They
said, "We have remained a day or part of a day."They
said, "Your Lord is most knowing of how long you
remained. So send one of you with this silver coin of
yours to the city and let him look to which is the best
of food and bring you provision from it and let him be
cautious. And let no one be aware of you.
18:19

197. Dr. Ghali
And thusWe made them rise again that they might ask
one another (Literally: among themselves). A speaker
from among them said, "How long have you lingered?"
They said, "We have lingered a day, or part (Literally:
some "part" of a day) of a day." (Others) said, "Your Lord
knows best how long you have lingered. So send one of
you forth with this money to the city, then let him look
for whichever of them has the purest (Literally: most
cleansed) food, so let him come up to you with a
provision thereof, and let him be courteous, and
definitely let no man be aware of your (presence).
