Are the Numerical Miracles in the Holy Quran Coincidences? Or Real
Miracles!
The logical reasoning says that a coincidence does not happen many
times in the same book, except if the author of that book has arranged
it following a specific way. The matching results with the number 7
illustrated in this article are clear evidences that God Almighty,
Allah, has arranged his book in a form that is in harmony with that
number, so that it might lead us to the conclusion that the Quran is a
revelation from the Creator of the seven heavens.
The number seven has a great presence in our life and worship, because
the heavens are seven, the colors are seven, the days are seven, the
orbits in the atom are seven, we turn around the Kaaba seven times, we
run between Safa and Marwa seven times, we stone Lucifer seven times,
we are commanded by seven commands, we are forbidden to commit seven
sins, the greatest sins that directly lead to Hell are seven, there
are seven kind of people Allah will put them under His shade on the
day of judgment, ... and so many other countless things.
The previous makes the number 7 on the top of other numbers after the
number 1 that indicates the Unitarianism of God Almighty, because he
is one and unique.
The number 1 is the most repeated number in the Quran, after it, comes
the number 7, and that might be an indication to the Unitarianism of
the Creator firstly, then to his power of creation. Allah says:
"It is Allah who has created seven heavens and of the earth the like.
His command descends between them, that you may know that Allah has
power over all things, and that Allah surrounds all things in (His)
knowledge." (Al-Talaq 65:12).
Now contemplate with me the following clear facts:
The number of heavens is seven, and when we look in the Quran for the
statement "seven heavens" we find that it is repeated seven times
throughout the whole Quran exactly as the number of heavens!
Among all the numbers, the number 7 is the first number stated in the
Quran.
When we look for the appearing frequencies of all the numbers in the
Quran, we find that the number 7 is the most repeated number after the
number 1.
When we look at the first chapter in Allah's book, that is Al-Fatihah
(the opening), we find that it is made of seven verses, and it is
composed of twenty-one alphabets, which is a multiple of 7 (21=7*3).
But the astonishing thing in this great Sura which consists of 7
verses is that the number of letters of Allah's name in this Sura is
seven times seven!!! i.e. the number of the letters "A", "L" and "H"
in this Sura is 49 letters, i.e. 7*7.
God Almighty has told us about the number of the doors of Hell, may
Allah protect us from it, when He said: "To it are seven Gates." (Al-
Hijr 15:44). We find that the word "Hell" is repeated 77 times
throughout the whole Quran and this number is also a multiple of 7,
and made of 7 and 7, and equal to 7*11, so, Hell has seven gates and
was repeated in the Quran in a number of times that is a multiple of
seven.
The Number Seven in the Holy Quran
The first time the number seven is stated in the Quran is in the verse
where God Almighty says: " ...then He directed Himself to the heaven,
so He made them complete seven heavens, and He knows all things." (Al-
Baqarah 2:29).
And the last time the number seven is stated in the Quran is in the
verse: "And We have built above you seven strong (heavens)" (Al-Nabaa
78:12).
Now look at the following facts:
When we count the number of Suras from the Sura 2, where the number 7
is stated for the first time, to the Sura 78, where the number 7 is
stated for the last time, we find that there are exactly 77 chapters,
and this number is a multiple of seven.
When we count the number of verses from the verse (2:29), where 7
appears for the first time, to the verse (78:12), where 7 appears for
the last time, we find that there are exactly 5649 verses, and this
number is also a multiple of seven.
When we count the number of verses from the beginning of Surat Al-
Baqarah 2 (2:1), where 7 appears for the first time, to the end of
Surat An-Naba 78 (78:40), where 7 appears for the last time, we find
that there are 5705 verses, and this number is also a multiple of
seven!
The question now is: Is it a coincidence that the number of Suras is a
multiple of seven, and the number of verses is also a multiple of
seven, in verses that are talking about the number seven?!
The Most Beautiful Word
It is the word "Allah" Glory be to Him, God Almighty has arranged that
word in his book following a strong pattern based also on the number
seven as a proof that He is the Lord of the seven heavens.
The word "Allah" was stated for the first time in the first verse of
the Quran, which is "In the name of Allah, most Gracious most
Merciful." (Al-Fatihah 1:1), while the last time this glorious name
was stated was in the verse: "Allah, the Eternal, the Absolute;" (Al-
Ikhlas 112:2)
Now look at the following wonderful facts and their relation with the
number 7:
From the Sura 1, where the word "Allah" was stated for the first time,
to the Sura 112, where "Allah" was stated for the last time, there are
exactly 112 Suras, and this number is a multiple of seven.
From the verse (1:1) to the verse (112:2) there are 6223 verses, and
this number is also a multiple of seven.
The total sum of letters in the two verses is 28, which is a multiple
of seven.
The total sum of Allah letters (i.e. 'A', 'L' and 'H') in the two
verses is 14 letters, which is also a multiple of seven!
A Wonderful Precision
To any one who claims that the Quran is corrupted, we present to him
the following facts:
The number of alphabets used as Initials is 14, i.e. 7*2.
The Initials are grouped into 14 different sets, i.e. 7*2.
The numbers of the Quran's alphabets is 28, i.e. 7*4.
The number of the words in the first verse and the last verse in the
Quran is 7.
The number of words in the first Sura and the last Sura is 49= 7 * 7.
The number of Suras whose numbers of verses are multiples of 7 is 14
Suras, i.e. 7*2.
The first Sura among them is Al-Fatihah with 7 verses, and the last is
Sura 112 Al-Ikhlas with 7 verses.
The Arabic name for Sura 1 is composed of 7 letters and so is the
Arabic name for Sura 112.
The Prophet, may peace be upon Him, lived for 63 years, i.e. 7*9.
Is this numerical precision with the number 7 a coincidence? Or is it
a clear proof to anyone who has any doubt in the divine origin of the
Quran, and that it is Allah's true word?
"Surely We have revealed the Reminder and We will most surely be its
guardian." Al-Hijr 15:9
