Quran, or 19 x 6.
 The total number of verses in the Quran is
6346, or 19 x 334.
 When you add the 30 different numbers which

6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 19, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70,
80, 99, 100, 200, 300, 1000, 2000, 3000, 5000,
50000 and 100000 (i.e., one God, two brothers,
etc.), the total is 162146 or 19 x 8534.
 THE CODE — SIMPLE FACTS
 The first statement in Quran, “In the name of
God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful” consists of
19 Arabic letters. Known as the “Basmalah”, it
prefaces every chapter except Chapter 9.

 Each word in the Basmalah occurs in the

Quran a number of times that is a multiple of
19.
 THE CODE — SIMPLE FACTS
 The first word “Ism” (name) occurs 19 times

 The second word “Allah” (God) occurs 2698

times or 19 x 142.

 The third word “Al-Rahman” (Most Gracious)

occurs 57 times or 19 x 3.

 The fourth word “Al-Raheem” (Most Merciful)

occurs 114 times or 19 x 6.
 THE CODE — SIMPLE FACTS
 The first revelation
that came to the
prophet
Mohammed, was
19 words. And the
total number of
letters in the 19
words of the first
revelation is 76, 19

 Some will say, “They were three, their dog was the fourth,”
while others will say, “They were five, their dog was the
sixth,” ˹only˺ guessing blindly. And others will say, “They
were seven and their dog was the eighth.” Say, ˹O
Prophet,˺ “My Lord knows best their ˹exact˺ number. Only a
few people know as well.” So do not argue about them
except with sure knowledge,1 nor consult any of those ˹who
debate˺ about them.

 MIRACLE OF NUMBERS
 Article from “Islam and Science”.
 “For the last twenty years, different scholars,
such as Abderrazzaq Nufal, Bassám
Jarrar, Abdu A-Daim Kuhail, among others,
have studied the miracle of numbers of the
Holy Quran.
 MIRACLE OF NUMBERS
 We present here some examples of the Miracle of
the Quran:
 The Word “shahr” (month) is mentioned 12
times in the Quran, just as the number of month
there are in a year.
 The word “yawm” (day), in singular, is
mentioned 365 times in the Quran, just as
the number of days there are in a year.
 The word “ayyam” (days), in plural, is
mentioned 30 times in the Quran, just as
the number of days there are in a month.
 MIRACLE OF NUMBERS
 The word “bahr” (water) is mentioned 32 times in the Quran.
 The word “barr / ard” (earth) is mentioned 13 times in the
Quran. Both words in Arabic mean “earth”.
 If we add the number both words “bahr” (water) and “barr”
(earth), we get the number 45.
 (“water” = 32 times + “earth” = 13 times = 45 times)
 Now, we’ll do a quick calculation in order to obtain its
percentages:
 The number of words “bahr” (water) divided by the total
number of words “earth+water”, multiplied by 100% gives:
 (32 / 45 ) x 100 = 71,1111%
 The total of words “barr” (earth) divided by the total number of
words “earth+water”, and multiplied by a 100% gives:
 (13 / 45) x 100 = 28,8888%

BAYT AL-HIKMA-Center for Study and
Research Abu Jafar Muhammad
ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi
lived in Baghdad(Gift of
God) in the early ninth
century. Baghdad at
that time was at cultural
crossroads, and, under
the patronage of the
Abbasid caliphs, the so-
called House of
Wisdom at Baghdad,
produced a Golden Age
of Arabic science and
mathematics. In
Baghdad, scholars
encountered and built
upon the ideas of
ancient Greek and
Indian mathematicians
 BAYT AL-HIKMA
 There, al-Khwarizmi encountered the Indian
numeral system (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9), and he
wrote a treatise on what we call Arabic numerals. It
was translated into Latin in the twelfth century as
Algoritmi de numero Indorum (that is, Al-Khwarizmi
on the Hindu Art of Reckoning) and was crucial in
the introduction of Arabic numerals to medieval
Europe. It may well represent the first use of zero
as a positional place holder. From that title, we
have the word "algorithm."
