1 - One Day
The word “a day” (yewm) is used 365 times in the Quran. The figure 365 does not only represent
the number of days in the calendar, but it is also the figure that shows the astronomical
relationship between our world and the sun. When our world completes its turn around the sun, it
has revolved 365 times around its own axis. In other words, when the world has completed its
cycle around the sun, this means we have lived 365 days on earth. It is important that the word “a
day” is used 365 times in the Quran, because the world’s revolution around the sun takes 365
days.

2 - Days
The different uses of the word “day” in the Quran is phenomenal. While the singular word “a
day” is used 365 times, its plural (eyyam, yewmeyn) is used 30 times. This represents the number
of the days in a month, which is 30. So it is meaningful that while the singular “day” (yewm) is
mentioned 365 times, the plural of it (eyyam, yewmeyn) is mentioned 30 times.

In the solar calendar, the months have either 30 or 31 days and in the lunar calendar the months
have either 29 or 30 days. So, the number 30 is the intersection group for both calendars. In the
community to which the Quran was revealed, the lunar calendar was in use; the mention of “30”
is therefore meaningful. It takes 29.53 days for the moon, the satellite in the sky, to make a
month. The rounded figure is 30. With such mathematical miracles, we witness that the Quran
calculates correctly this rounding up business. Likewise, the world completes its cycle around the
sun in 365.25 days exactly. The rounded figure is 365.
