Page 155 - Miracles of The Qur'an Vol. 3

This section contains the results of various calculations performed
on Surahs in which numerical terms appear. The same numbers ob-
tained as a result of different calculations in the relevant Surah are also
extremely fascinating. This section of the book deals with various types
of calculation - such as the numbers of syllables and letters in the
Surahs, the types of letter or their numerological values [abjad] —and
reveals surprising similarities in the resultant numbers. The calcula-
tions in this section are not open to discussion and nor are they a mat-
ter for debate - anybody who performs the same calculations will arrive
at the same figures as those which are quoted here. References are pro-
vided throughout this section of the book so that any interested person
is entitled to double-check the relevant Qur’anic verses.
In addition to the sublime theological wisdom and religious
knowledge of the Holy Qur'an, it also contains very rich and extraordi-
nary numerical references. 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."
These miraculous numerical references obtained from the Holy Qur'an
are also manifestations of one of our Almighty Lord's Ninety-Nine
Names. The title "Al-Muhsey," or "He Who knows the number of
everything, even if it is infinite".
