30 - Cold and Hot

If you ask someone to tell the first thing that comes into his mind when he hears the word “cold”, his answer will usually be “hot”. One of these two opposites, “hot” (hare) is mentioned 4 times with all its derivatives while; the word “cold” (berd) is also mentioned 4 times. Below, two verses are given as an example;

81- …and clothes for protection against the hot.
16. The Honey-Bees, 81

69- We said “O fire, be cold and safe for Abraham.”
21. The Prophets, 69

The word	Number of occurrence
Hot	4
Cold	4

29 - Hope and Fear

The Quran mentions that “hope” (raghben) and “fear” (reheben) should co exist in praying ritual. Keeping these two conflicting feelings in balance will save us from despair, on one hand and from being spoiled and arrogant on the other. These two words, used in conjunction and present two divergent feelings, are mentioned 8 times each, in the Quran. Below is an example;

90- ...These were men who vied in good deeds with one another, and prayed to Us with hope and fear…
21. The Prophets, 90

The word	Number of occurrence
Hope	8
Fear	8

28 - Righteousness and Reward

The word “birr”, which means righteousness and all its derivatives, are mentioned 20 times the Quran. God informs us that we shall reap what we have sown in the next world. None of our good deeds will be left unrewarded. All the derivatives of the word “reward” (sewab) good deeds are used in equal numbers, i.e. 20 times. Below are two verses in which these words are used;

2- …but help one another in righteousness and piety…
5. The Feast, 2

195- …and the best of rewards is with God.
3. The Family of Imran 195

The word	Number of occurrence
Righteousness	20
Reward	20

27 - Mercy, Merciful and Gracious

We saw that the word in the form of “mercy” (rahmet) derived from the stem of “RHM” is used in 13 verses together with word “guide” (hüda) in the previous chapter and that they are mentioned 79 times each. All the derivatives of “mercy” (rahmet) are mentioned 114 times (Rahmet 79 times, rahmetike 3 times, rahmetina 5 times, rahmetini 25 times, rahmeti 2 times) The name; “rahim” of God also comes from the same stem, RHM, and is used exactly half the times these words are mentioned, viz. 57 times. The mathematical miraculous use of these words performs more detailed miracles on the miracle of 19 in the Quran (They are investigated in details way in chapters on 19.)

1- It is a guide and mercy for the believers.
1. The Prologue, 1

The word	Number of occurrence
Mercy	114(57X2)
Merciful	114(57X2)
Gracious	57

26 - Mercy and Guidance

In the Quran, the words “mercy” (rahmet) and “guide” (hüda) are used together in 13 verses. Actually only this is enough to show the relation between these words. God’s guidance of mankind is the biggest mercy for them. These two words are used in the Quran 79 times each in the same format. The words “Rahman (Gracious), “Rahim” (Merciful) and other derivatives which come from the same stem of the word “rahmet”, are all used in a way that they all form a mathematical miracle. We shall examine the in the next chapter and in the section 19. Below is an example of a verse where the words “mercy” and “guide” are used together.

77- It is a guide and mercy for the believers.
27. The Ant, 77

The word	Number of occurrence
Mercy	79
Guide	79

25 - Say and They Said

Many sentences in the Quran are in the form of reported speech using the formula “they said” (Qalu) and yet many orders are expressed by another formula “say” (Qul). These two words which have very clear relationships are used many times in the Quran; 332 times each. The total number of the use of these two words is 664. This number is so big that it is even bigger than the words used in the last 15 suras of the Quran. Mathematical miracle of the Quran has surrounded it in a unique way. The Quran itself is a total miracle, such a miracle that it is easy to understand and impossible to imitate.

The word	Number of occurrence
Say	332
They said	332

24 - Language and Advice

In order to have someone do something, people use different methods like rewarding, punishment or advising. In rewarding, there is something pleasant and in punishment there is something unpleasant. In the process of advising language is used as a tool. The difference between advice and rewarding and punishment is; advising is done only by using the language as a tool where as many other tools can be used for the other two methods. These two connected words, “language” (lisan) and “advice” (mevize) are used in equal numbers, 25 times each. Two examples are given below from the Quran;

22- Among His signs are the creation of the heavens and earth, and the variations in your languages and your colors. Surely there are signs in these for those who understand.
30. The Romans, 22

63- God is fully aware of their inner most intentions. So do not care them, advice them, and speak to them eloquent words that would their souls.
4. Women, 63

23 - Sorcery and Temptation

From the Quran, we learn that sorcery is a temptation. It is in the same verse that these two words are used for the first time. (The Cow, 102) In this verse, the relationship between these words is clear. These words and their derivatives are used 60 times each. The verse in which they are used for the first time as follows:

102- …Solomon, however was not a disbeliever, while the devils were disbelievers. Thus, they taught the people sorcery that was sent down through the two angels of Babel, Harut and Marut, who however never taught it without saying: ”We are only a temptation. Be not then a disbeliever”…
2. The Cow, 102

The word	Number of occurrence
Sorcery	60
Temptation	60

22 - Satan and Seek Refuge

In the Quran, we are told that Satan is the enemy of mankind. Muslims should seek refuge in God in order to be protected from the evil of Satan. The relationship between these two words is crystal clear for the people who know the Quran. These two words are used in equal numbers i.e., 11 times each. Examples are given below;

50- …they fell prostrate, except Satan. He was one of the jinns and rebelled against His Lord’s command…
18. The Cave, 5

1- Say “I seek refuge in the Lord of the Prophet.”
114. People, 1

The word	Number of occurrence
Satan	11
Seek refuge	11

21 - Openly and Publicly

The words “openly” and “publicly”, have close meanings. The successive use of these words, in the sura Noah, 8th and 9th verses, points to the relation of these words. These two related words are used 16 times each in the Quran. The verses these words are used in succession are given below:

8- Then I called them openly.
9- Then I invited them publicly and in private.
71. Noah, 8, 9

The word	Number of occurrence
Openly	16

20 - Dirtiness and Nastiness

In the Quran, the words dirtiness (rics) and nastiness (ricz) have almost similar pronunciation and spelling: the word “rics” refers to dirtiness brought by human hand and the word “ricz” refers to nastiness caused by the dirtiness generated by human hand. These two words are used 10 times in order to show the relation between them. The two verses given below are examples of these words used in the Quran:

33- …God desires to remove all dirtiness from you…
33. The Parties, 33

5- For sake from nastiness.
74. The Hidden Secret, 5

The word	Number of occurrence
Dirtiness	10
Nastiness	10

19 - Sexual crime, Transgression and Wrath

19 - Sexual crime, Transgression and Wrath

---

The word “sexual crime” (fahsha) and its derivatives are used 24 times in the Quran. The word “transgression” (baghy) and its derivatives are used 24 times also. Since these behaviors deserve wrath, the word “wrath” also is used 24 times in the Quran.

The relationship between the words “sexual crime” (fahsha) and “transgression” is seen clearly in the verse below:

90- …and forbidden sexual crime, impropriety and transgression…
16. The Honey-Bees 90

An example for the wrath is below:

7- The path of those whom you blessed, not of those who have deserved the wrath, nor the strayers.
1. The Prologue, 7

The word	Number of occurrence
Sexual crime	24
Transgression	24
Wrath	24

18 - Benefit and Corruption

The word “benefit” (en nef) is used 50 times in the Quran with all its derivatives. The same is true for the word “corrupt” (fesad), that is, it and its derivatives are used 50 times as well. Corruption (fesad) is a social evil and condemned by the Quran. A person can not benefit (en nef) from corruption (fesad). The result of corruption is the opposite of benefit. The use of these two words with negative meanings being in equal number can not be a coincidence. This may be witnessed in the following verses:

55- And remind, for the reminder benefits the believers
51. The Dispersing, 55

26- Who corrupt the land and do not reform it.
26. The Poets, 152

The word	Number of occurrence
Benefit	50
Corruption	50

17 - Angels and the Devil

The word “angel” associates in many people the “devil” itself. All derivatives of these two interrelated words are used in the Quran 88 times each. It is interesting to note that the most frequent form of these two words “eþ-þeytan” and “el-melaike” are used, 68 times each in the Quran. Two examples for these words:

6- Devil is certainly your enemy
35. Originator, 6

12- Thus, your Lord inspired the Angels.
8. Spoils of War, 12

The word	Number of occurrence
Angels	88

16 - World and Hereafter

The Quran speaks of two lives: the one in this “world” (Dunya), which is finite, and the other in the “hereafter” (Ahiret) which is infinite. The relation between these words in the Quran is very clear. These two words which are used sometimes together in a verse and sometimes separately, are mentioned 115 times each. There are two examples below:

185- The life of this world is no more than an illusion.
3. The Family of Imran, 185

103 - This should be a sign for those who fear the torment of the Hereafter…
11. Hud 103

The word	Number of occurrence
World	115
Hereafter	115

15 - The Surah on Honey-Bees

We observe that in the Quran, the honey bee is mentioned more specifically than other animals. (We presented this subject in the 43rd and the 44th chapters). There are many examples of animals in the Quran but none of them is mentioned in particular except the honey-bee and none of them is mentioned in successive verses. The number of this sura is 16 and entitled honey-bees (nahl). The number of this sura and the number of the chromosomes of the male honey-bee are equal. The number of chromosome of the female honey-bee is 2n which is equal to 32 (16X2). So the number of the sura indicates the number of chromosomes. The number of chromosome of an element is like the atomic number of that element, it can not be changed. Everywhere in the world, the number of chromosomes of the male honey-bees is 16 and every female honey-bee has 32 chromosomes. On the other hand, the verse number of this sura is 128, this means; 8 times the number of chromosomes of the male honey-bee (16) and also 4 times the number of chromosomes of the female honey-bee (32). Just like the number of this sura, the verse number is proportional to the number of chromosomes of the honey-bee.

In this sura, the verses 68 and 69 mention the honey-bees. The first verse, 68 has 13 words. If we count the words from the beginning of this sura up to the word honey-bee (nahl) in that verse, we come up with 884 letters. Let us see if this number has any meaning. This number is equal to the product of the verse number 68 (68X13=884). Can this be coincidence? There are many different ways in which the Quran shows its mathematical miracles.

What is the number of the sura Honey-bee (nahl)	16
How many verses does the sura Honey-bee have?	128 (16*8)

The number of chromosomes of the male honey-bee	16
The number of chromosomes of the female honey-bee	32 (16*2)

13 - Iron’s Isotopes

As the iron’s atomic number is encoded in the sura that mentions iron, there is also a sign in that sura about the iron’s isotopes.

1. The word “el hadid” which means a particular iron has a mathematical value of 57. The article “el” corresponds to “the” in English. When the word hadid is used with the article “el”, referring to a specific iron, the mathematical value turns out to be 57.

Alif	=	1
Lam	=	30
Ha	=	8
Da	=	4
Ya	=	10
Da	=	4
Total	=	57

2. The sura Iron (hadid) is the 57th sura of the Quran. And 57 is one of the isotopes of iron.

3. The sura Iron (hadid) is the 58th sura from the end of the Quran. That is another isotope of iron.

4. This sura has 29 numbered verses. This number becomes 30 when the unnumbered Basmalah is counted. This number is equal to the neutron numbers of two isotopes of iron, from the total of four. The frequency of the word God in this sura gives the neutron number of the other isotope.

12 - Atomic Number of Iron

There are many references to the chemical characteristics of iron, in the Quran. Let us see first the verse which mentions the importance and characteristics of iron:

25- We have surely sent our messengers with clear signs, and sent with them the Book and the Balance, so that man may stand by justice; and We sent down the iron, wherein there is strength, and many benefits for the people.
57. The Iron, 25

The verb “inzal” in the Quran is usually used to describe the action of coming from above the earth. The verb “inzal” refers to the fact that a creation in the world has taken place following an event exterior to the earth. The temperature of the earth was not sufficient, at the beginning, for the formation of iron. Not only the earth, but even a middle sized sun like ours did not have the heat necessary for the formation of iron. That is why iron must have come to our planet from outer space, as well as to the entire solar system. The iron we have in our planet today must have come to our solar system from other suns which had higher temperatures favorable for the formation of iron. To allude to iron, the Quran uses the verb “inzal” to explain its origin is the space.

The Quran shows other mathematical miracles by pointing out the iron’s atomic number, which is 26, in different ways.

1. In the Quran, there is a mathematical value for every letter. (We gave all the letters and their numerical values in the chapters on 19). The mathematical value for the word iron (hadid) is 26.

Ha	=	8
Da	=	4
Ya	=	10
Da	=	4
Total	=	26

2. The verse which refers to iron is the 25th verse in the sura Hadid. If we count Basmalah as a numbered verse then that number is 26.

3. The name God mentioned in this verse for 26th time is in the 25th verse. The atomic number of an element is the main characteristic of that element and is determined by the number of its protons which are the building blocks of that element. Iron’s atomic number is 26 because of its 26 protons. The fact that from the beginning of the sura Iron (Hadid) till the end of the verse of that sura that alludes to iron, the word God is used 26 times.

The word	Mathematical value of the word

11 - Seven Heavens

In the Quran, it is told that the heavens are created in seven layers. We studied this subject in our book’s first section, chapter 17. The term “seven heavens” is used seven times in the Quran.

2. The Cow, 29
17. The Children of Israel, 44
23. The Believers, 86

10 - The Color White

White is the source of all colors. In the color spectrum, we can witness that from white derive seven other colors. And when those seven colors come together, we have the white color. Thus, white has a special place among the other colors. In the Quran “to be white” is expressed by the word “ebyad”. The mathematical value of this word is 813. (In Arabic, the same characters are used both for numbers and letters. That is why each letter, and consequently each word, has a numerical value). If we add up the numbers of the verses where the color white is mentioned, we end up with the mathematical value of the word, viz 813.
