Numbers in the Holy Quran


Here are some interesting numbers that could be found in the Holy Quran as discovered by Dr. Tarek Suwaidan. He managed to find divine miracles in the verses of the Quran through the linkage between the science of numbers and their meaning.

1) “Life on earth” appeared 115 times versus 115 times for “the afterlife”

2) “Angel” appeared 88 times versus 88 times for “Devils.”

3) “Life” appeared 145 times versus 145 times for “Death.”

4) “Benefit” appeared 50 times versus 50 times for “Harm.”

5) “Calamity” appeared 75 times versus 75 times for “Thanks.”

6) “Gold” appeared 8 times versus 8 times for “well being” i.e. living a good life.

7) “Mind” appeared 49 times versus 49 times for “Light.”

8) “Man” appeared 24 times versus 24 times for “Woman”

And in another miracle, the following words were mentioned for a certain number of times:

1) The word “month” was mentioned: 12 times.
2) The word “day”: 365 times.
3) The word “sea”: 32 times.
4) The word “land “: 13 times.

Note: Planet Earth = Sea + land = 32 +13 = 45.
The proportion of the sea on planet Earth = (32 ÷ 45) * 100 = 71.11111111111111111111%
The proportion of land on planet Earth= (13 ÷ 45) * 100 = 28.88888888888888888889%
The proportion of land + the proportion of the sea = 100%, and this is what modern science recently found.

I haven't manage to scrutinize the information available. However, if its true, سبحان الله. I find some figures to be odd which made me quite skeptical about Dr. Tarek findings. However, the oddity is not entirely bad; it might be the sign that this is definitely the word of God. For example the word "day" is mentioned 365 times says Dr. Tarek. 365 days is the total for a gregorian calender. But it is widely known that the Prophet used the hijri calender, in which the total number of days is approximately 354. Personally, I find this odd....

Dr. Tarek's findings had also been criticized by Dr. Mohammad Omar Farooq. Here is his reasons for having doubts.
