50 ­ Messenger and The Names of the Messengers

The word messenger (resul) and all its derivatives are used 513 times in the Quran. The
names of the messengers sent by God are also mentioned: like Moses, Abraham,
Aaron...And the total number of the messenger names used in the Quran is also 513
(Including the repetitions). The total of the repetition of these words is 1026 (513X2) and
this is another miracle of the Quran. Can a man use 1026 repetitions to create such a
mathematical symmetry by using both the words equally, 513 times each? And the
piecemeal decent of the Quran according to circumstances must be taken into consideration.
It is crystal clear that even if the entire mankind and all the jinns came together, they could
not produce anything like the Quran.

88- Say, “If all the humans and the jinns came together in order to produce a
Quran like this, they would surely fail, no matter how much assistance they lent
one another.”
17. The Children of Israel, 88

Since the word “messenger” (resul) is used 513 times, the names of these messengers
are also used 513 times.

We are going to see the importance of 19 in the next section, but still 513 is 27X19.
Here both 19 and 27 are important because the number of the messenger’s names
mentioned in the Quran is 27.

It is another miracle that our prophet’s name is mentioned as the 19th messenger in the
Quran. (Together with the prophets Job and Jonah)
