Islam Online Stuff: Research on the Quran

It seems like every other day, when someone is researching the Quran, they find something fascinating about it. Well, recently I recieved an email about a Dr. Tariq Al Suwaidan who was researching the Quran and found some fascinating stuff. Check it out...



Dr. Tariq Al Suwaidan discovered some verses in the Holy Quran that mention one thing is equal to another, i.e. man is equal to women. Although this makes sense grammatically, the astonishing fact is that the number of times he word man appears in the Quran is 24 and the number of times the word woman appears is also 24, therefore not only is this phrase correct in the grammatical sense but also true mathematically (24 = 24). Upon further analysis of various other verses, he discovered that this is consistent throughout the whole Quran, where it says one thing is like another. See below for some astonishing results:

The word number of times mentioned in Arabic Quran:
  • Dunia (one name for life) 115 , Aakhirat (one name for the life after) 115
  • Malaikat (angels) 88 , Shaytan (satan) 88
  • Life 145 , Death 145
  • Benefit 50 , Corrupt 50
  • People 50 , Messengers 50
  • Eblees (king of devils) 11 , Seek refuge from eblees 11
  • Museebah (calamity) 75 , Thanks 75
  • Spending (sadaqah) 73 , Satisfaction 73
  • people who are Mislead 17 , Dead people 17
  • Muslimeen 41 , Jihad 41
  • Gold 8 , Easy life 8
  • Magic 60 , Fitnah (dissuasion, misleading) 60
  • Zakat (taxes Muslims pay for the poor) 32 , Barakah (increasing or blessings of a wealth) 32
  • Mind 49 , Noor (light) 49
  • Tongue 25 , Sermon 25
  • Desire 8 , Fear 8
  • Speaking publicly 18 , Publicising 18
  • Hardship 114 , Patience 114
  • Muhammad 4 , Sharee*ah (Muhammad's teachings) 4
  • Man 24 , Woman 24


    And amazingly enough have a look how many times the following words appear:
  • Solat (Prayer) 5
  • Month 12
  • Day 365
  • Sea 32
  • Land 13

  • Sea + land = 32 + 13 = 45
  • % sea = 32/45 * 100 % = 71.11111111
  • % land= 13 / 45 * 100 % = 28.8 8888889 = 100.00
    Modern Science has only recently proven that the water covers 71.111 % of the earth, while the land covers 28.889 %.
    Is this a coincidence?
    Who taught prophet Mohammad (PBUH) all this?
    Allah,the All Mighty taught him this.
    As the Quran tells us:
    (This is) a Book, the Verses whereof are perfected (in every sphere of knowledge, etc.), and then explained in detail from One (Allâh), Who is All-Wise and Well-Acquainted (with all things).' (Quran 11:1)
