Numerical Symmetry of Words in the Qur'an: a Glimpse

  • 12 years ago
"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." (72:28)

In recent years, scholars of linguistics have found numerous examples of surprising numerical correlation of words in the Qur'an. Composition of such numerical correlations during the whole text of the Qur'an that was revealed over a span of 23 years is beyond any human literary capability, dexterity or command. Literary persons often show their talents and command of language by composing prose and poetry in which choice of words and their numerical values refer to or convey a certain connotation. All such examples consist of only a single word, a single sentence or a short passage. These items have no relation to one another or share a common theme of a poem or passage. In contrast, numerical correlations of words in the Qur'an are not confined to a passage or chapter but run throughout the entire text of the Qur'an. A few examples are shown in the video.
