The Holy Qur’an Speaks the Language of Numbers: Divine

Precision

“Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both

(jinns and men) deny?” Why is this Verse repeated 31 times
in the same Chapter?

This is a question that puzzled me for so long; I could not figure out
why this particular verse occurs no less than 31 times in the Holy
Qur’an and in the same Chapter, namely Ar-Rahman (The
Beneficent). Let’s take a look at a wonderful numerical consistency.

Many are the puzzling phenomena that seem to elude us about the
Qur’an. Such phenomena are a strong point of argument for people
who question the validity of the Qur’an. Many sceptics, for instance,
claim that the Qur’an is the written word of Muhammad (pbuh).

When certain verses are repeated many times, such as the verse
mentioned above, one argument that sceptics present is that
Muhammad used to forget what he wanted to write and therefore
repeated the same verses over and over again. Therefore, to apply
reason, we will assume that this argument may hold true, and say
this: If Muhammad indeed did write the Qur’an and therefore this
Chapter (The Beneficent), why then did he repeat this verse a total
of 31 times? What is the wisdom behind such repetition, why such a
peculiar number, and why isn’t only once enough?

Our belief, of course, is that Muhammad never wrote a single word

of the Qur’an; that it is the word of God Almighty, and that He, in his
great wisdom, placed secrets within its verses that, if uncovered will
reveal an unprecedented miracle for any atheist living on Earth
today!

After researching this Verse for some time, I discovered a profound

numerical arrangement based on the central number of 7, an
assurance that no unnecessary repetition exists in the Qur’an.
Rather, it is a miraculously delicate consistency.

The number 7, as noted in previous research articles, has many

wonderful implications throughout the Qur’an, and is the basis for
all research relating to the Qur’an’s numerical miracle. Indeed, God
Almighty has organised the letters, words, Verses and Chapters of
his Book based upon this number, as proof that the author of the
Holy Qur’an is in fact the Creator of the seven heavens and the
universe.

Therefore, I observed the Verses of “The Beneficent” where the

Verse (Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinns
and men) deny?”) is repeated, and found that it is first cited in the
13th Verse and last cited in the 77th Verse of the Chapter. This is
illustrated below:

The Most Gracious (Allah)! (1) Has taught (you mankind) the Quran
(by His Mercy). (2) He created man. (3) He taught him eloquent
speech. (4) The sun and the moon run on their fixed courses
(exactly) calculated with measured out stages for each (for
reckoning). (5) And the herbs (or stars) and the trees both prostrate.
(6) And the heaven He has raised high, and He has set up the
Balance. (7) In order that you may not transgress (due) balance. (8)
And observe the weight with equity and do not make the balance
deficient. (9) And the earth He has put down (laid) for the creatures.
(10) Therein are fruits, date-palms producing sheathed fruit-stalks
(enclosing dates). (11) And also corn, with (its) leaves and stalk for
fodder, and sweet-scented plants. (12) Then which of the
Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinn and men) deny?
(13) He created man (Adam) from sounding clay like the clay of
pottery. (14) And the jinn He created from a smokeless flame of fire.
(15) Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both
(jinn and men) deny? (16) (He is) the Lord of the two easts
(places of sunrise during early summer and early winter) and the
Lord of the two wests (places of sunset during early summer and
early winter). (17) Then which of the Blessings of your Lord
will you both (jinn and men) deny? (18) He has let loose the
two seas (the salt and the fresh water) meeting together. (19)
Between them is a barrier which none of them can transgress. (20)
Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinn
and men) deny? (21) Out of them both come out pearl and coral.
(22) Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both
(jinn and men) deny? (23) And His are the ships going and
coming in the seas, like mountains. (24) Then which of the
Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinn and men) deny?
(25) Whatsoever is on it (the earth) will perish. (26) And the Face of
your Lord full of Majesty and Honour will remain forever. (27) Then
which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinn and
men) deny? (28) Whosoever is in the heavens and on earth begs
of Him (its needs from Him). Every day He is (engaged) in some
affair (such as giving honour or disgrace to some, life or death to
some, etc.)! (29) Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will
you both (jinn and men) deny? (30) We shall attend to you, O
you two classes (jinn and men)! (31) Then which of the Blessings
of your Lord will you both (jinn and men) deny? (32) O
assembly of jinn and men! If you have power to pass beyond the
zones of the heavens and the earth, then pass beyond (them)! But
you will never be able to pass them, except with authority (from
Allah)! (33) Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you
both (jinn and men) deny? (34) There will be sent against you
both, smokeless flames of fire and (molten) brass, and you will not
be able to defend yourselves. (35) Then which of the Blessings
of your Lord will you both (jinn and men) deny? (36) Then
when the heaven is rent asunder, and it becomes rosy or red like
red-oil, or red hide. (37) Then which of the Blessings of your
Lord will you both (jinn and men) deny? (38) So on that Day no
question will be asked of man or jinn as to his sin, (because they
have already been known from their faces either white or black).
(39) Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both
(jinn and men) deny? (40) The guilty will be known by their
marks, and will be taken by the forelocks and the feet. (41) Then
which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinn and
men) deny? (42) This is Hell which the guilty deny. (43) They will
go between it (Hell) and the fierce boiling water! (44) Then which
of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinn and men)
deny? (45) But for him who fears the standing before his Lord,
there will be two Gardens (i.e. in Paradise). (46) Then which of the
Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinn and men) deny?
(47) With spreading branches. (48) Then which of the Blessings
of your Lord will you both (jinn and men) deny? (49) In them
(both) will be two springs flowing (free). (50) Then which of the
Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinn and men) deny?
(51) In them (both) will be every kind of fruit in pairs. (52) Then
which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinn and
men) deny? (53) Reclining upon the couches lined with silk
brocade, and the fruits of the two Gardens will be near at hand. (54)
Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinn
and men) deny? (55) In them will be (Maidens), chaste,
restraining their glances, whom no man or Jinn before them has
touched. (56) Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will
you both (jinn and men) deny? (57) (In beauty) they are like
rubies and coral. (58) Then which of the Blessings of your Lord
will you both (jinn and men) deny? (59) Is there any reward for
good other than good? (60) Then which of the Blessings of your
Lord will you both (jinn and men) deny? (61) And besides
these two, there are two other Gardens (i.e. in Paradise). (62) Then
which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinn and
men) deny? (63) Dark green (in colour). (64) Then which of the
Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinn and men) deny?
(65) In them (both) will be two springs gushing forth. (66) Then
which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinn and
men) deny? (67) In them (both) will be fruits, and date- palms and
pomegranates. (68) Then which of the Blessings of your Lord
will you both (jinn and men) deny? (69) Therein (gardens) will
be fair (wives) good and beautiful. (70) Then which of the

mattresses. (76) Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will
you both (jinn and men) deny? (77) Blessed is the Name of your
Lord (Allah), the Owner of Majesty and Honour. (78)

I have highlighted the repeated Verses in blue to make it easier for

readers to check these facts for themselves. Counting these Verses,
we find that they are 31, and their respective numbers are as
follows:

13 16 18 21 23 25 28 30 32 34 36 38 40 42 45 47 49 51 53 55
57 59 61 63 65 67 69 71 73 75 77

Arranging the numbers

It must be noted that in all our research of the numerical miracles,

we follow the exact same method of arranging numbers, and that is
by placing one number in front of the other, and reading the
resulting number as it appears.

That being said, when we arrange the numbers of the 31 Verses

shown above, the result is a huge 62-digit number:

7775737169676563615957555351494745424038363432302
8252321181613

This large number, which represents the Verse numbers where

(Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinns and
men) deny?), is, amazingly enough, a multiple of seven: a whole
number with no decimals!

This coherence, to me at least, demonstrates that these Verses

were perfectly assembled by God Almighty. Still, however, one may
have his doubts. So what is the evidence that this did not simply
happen by chance?

Reading from the opposite direction

The Verse we are dealing with talks about mankind and Jinns, and is
a reminder for them of the endless blessings of God. Now, reading
this 62-digit from the opposite direction; i.e. from right to left, we
arrive at the following:

3161811232528203234363830424547494153555759516365
6769617375777

Incredibly, this number is yet again a multiple of 7! Therefore, to

reflect: the figure which represents the numbers of Verses where
(Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinns and
men) deny?) is divisible by 7 in both directions, whichever way it is
read. Is this not a powerful indication that no meaningless
repetition exists in the Qur’an, but a perfect numerical system
instead?

No coincidence in the Qur’an

Still, one may continue to claim that the possibility of coincidence

cannot be completely ruled out. Hence, we search further.

At this point, it is crucial to ask: Why 31? Why is this verse not
repeated 32 or 30 times? What is the wisdom behind this number?
Confronted with these questions, I did a simple experiment.
Numbering the repeated Verses in sequential order (i.e. 1-2-3-
4...31), I placed the resulting number as shown below:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 1819 20 21 22 23 24 25
26 27 28 29 30 31

To my surprise, this was a multiple of 7! And, applying the same

logic as the example above, I read the number from right to left,
and then found that the number, namely:

12345678901112131415161718191021222324252627282920313

to be perfectly divisible by 7!!

This, for me, erases any doubt as to the possibility of coincidence.

Please note, that in the above example, had the Verse numbers
been in any other order (e.g. the first repeated Verse was Verse
[12] rather than Verse [13]), the resulting number would have not
been divisible by 7, and would have had decimals. Also, had the
number of Verses been 30 or 32 instead of 31, all the above
numbers would have not been divisible by 7, and would have all
had decimals!

31 Again

Another beautiful consistency I noticed relates to the following

Verse of the Chapter we dealt with, The Beneficent. It reads: (We
shall attend to you, O you two classes (jinns and men)! (The
Beneficent: 31). In Arabic, these ‘jinns and men’ are referred to in
this Verse in just one word, namely (Ath-thaqalan). It should be
noted that this is the only Qur’anic reference to both mankind and
jinns collectively in one word. So I wondered: is there any
relationship between this Verse and the repeated Verses, which
directly address jinns and men?
I realised that that Verse was the 31st Verse of the Chapter! In other
words, the number of repeated Verses which directly address jinns
and men are 31, and so is the Verse number where they are
collectively addressed in one word. Again, we find that this
consistency could not have easily arrived by chance.

The Results

To reflect upon our results we found that:

• The 62-digit number comprised of the Verse numbers

representing the repeated Verse (Then which of the Blessings of
your Lord will you both (jinns and men) deny?) is a multiple of 7,
read from both directions.

• The 53-digit number comprised of the numbers 1 through to 31

in serial order, is also a multiple of 7, read from both directions.

• Any arrangement of numbers other than that used above as

indicated by the Holy Qur’an would have contradicted this
numerical consistency and resulted in numbers that were not
multiples of 7 and therefore not whole numbers.

Please note that a normal calculator cannot usually perform such

large calculations. In this case, even some scientific calculators
may not arrive at a perfect number without decimals. To make life
easier for those wishing to crunch the numbers for themselves, we
have provided a useful link below that assists in this.

In the end, we can only say that Glory be to Allah for these
wonderful miracles. At the same time, we say that all opinions and
judgments are respected, regardless of whether readers choose to
believe what is presented. In our modest opinion, however, it is
only through the wisdom of God Almighty that these numbers were
arranged with such perfection, confirming that this Holy Book is not
one of repetition, but a profound miracle in every sense of the word.
And it is He, God Almighty, who says: (And say: Praise be to Allah
who will show you His Signs so that ye shall know them, And thy
Lord is not unaware of what ye do.) [Al-Naml (The Ants): 93].
