3 ­ The Derivatives of the Word Day

We saw that the singular “day” (yewm) is mentioned 365 times, and the plural of it, 30
times in the Quran. The use of all the derivatives of the word “day” is 475. This means that
the singular, plural and all the other derivatives totals up to 475. 475 is equal to 19X25.
(After we study this mathematical miracle in this section, we will also examine it in the
miracle of 19 section and show better what the number 19 indicates). You will understand
better what the number 19 indicates, after you read the section in question. Sometimes, the
MMLC and the miracle of the number 19 may be interconnected as in this example. Since the
use of the word “day” shows the miraculous characteristic, apart from the miracle of the
number 19, we have presented the discoveries on that in MMLC section too.

Like the multiplier 19, the number 25 also has a significant meaning. As we have already
mentioned, days are formed as a result of the relationship between the earth and the sun.
The earth revolves around its own axis 365 times while completing its cycle around the sun
and during this time the sun also revolves around itself. As the earth revolves around itself
365 times, how many times the sun must have revolved itself? 25 times exactly. This
number, pointed out by the miracle easy to understand but impossible to imitate, was not at
the time of the descent of the Quran in the region in question. They had no idea about it. It
is a miracle that the Quran, by references to repeated numbers, points out; and the fact that
those numbers indicated things unknown at the time is another miracle.

On the other hand, the figure19, multiplier of 25 has an important role within the
context of the concept of the relationship between the sun- the earth and day. Because a
meton cycle that is when the sun, the earth and the moon come to a same line, occurs in
every 19 years. That is to say, the sun turns around itself the number 19X25=475 times in a
Meton cycle. (Read the next chapter, MMLC 4) Yes, exactly 475 times. This number is equal
to the number of times the derivatives of the word “day” is used in the Quran.
