1 - A 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 astronomic relationship between our world and
the sun. When our world completes its round 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 “one day” has been used 365 times in
the Quran, because the world’s revolution around the sun takes 365 days.
The exact number 365 is not accidental! This word alone is enough to show
that there is a conscious order in the Quran. The dimension of the
miracles will be clearer when 50 examples in this section and the section
on the number 19 are carefully examined.

2 - Days
The different use of the word “day” in the Quran
is a miraculous phenomenon. While the singular word “a day” is used 365 times,
the plural of it (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, yevmeyn) 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 planet 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 bussiness.
Likewise, the world completes its cycle around the sun in 365.25 days exactly.
The rounded figure is 365.

3 - The Derivativesof
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.

4 - Year
The derivatives of the word “year” (sinet, sinin)
are mentioned 19 times in the Quran. The solar and lunar calendars need
correction because of the leap year. When the world revolves around the sun 365
times, the moon revolves around the earth and itself 12 times. This constitudes
a year. But when the earth completes its revolvation and arrives at the starting
point, the moon is behind the schedule. It takes the earth and the moon 19 years
to meet at the same starting point. This cycle of 19 years is called the Meton
cycle. The lunar calendar re-arranged in every 19 years, ends up with 7 leap
years (355 days) and 12 full years (354 days) during this period. It is also
another surprising characteristic of the miracles that the singular year (sinet)
is used 7 times, whereas the plural year (sinin) is used 12 times in the Quran.
And all the derivatives of the word “year” are used 19 times, an indication of
the Meton cycle.

The
earth lines up with the sun and the moon every 19 years. In the Quran, the words
“sun” and “moon” are often used in the same verses, exactly 19 times; the same
number that makes a “Meton cycle” corresponding to the same number the word
“year” is used in the Quran. It is interesting to note that on the 19th time,
these two words are used together, we have the following verse:
9- And the sun and the moon are conjoined.
75. The Resurrection, 9
The
overlapping of the meaning and of the mathematical concordance is a miracle. Now
let us look at the table where the words “sun” and “moon” are used together (In
41st sura, verse 37; these words are used twice).

+ 71 + 16 + 75 + 9 = 1083 (the number 19X57) and 57=the number 19*3.
Please
keep in mind this concordance formed by the multiples of 19, and remember it, in
the following chapters on the miraculous number of 19.
The
MMLC in the Quran shows itself both in the sura and verse numbers. This proves
that the Quran’s miraculous order covers even the numbers of the suras and
verses.
5 - That Day and the
Resurrection Day
We saw earlier that the word “day” in the Quran, with its singular, plural
and derivative uses constitudes a miracle. Apart from this, the noun
phrases of the same word also produce mathematical miracles as well. For
example, we see this miracle in phrases like “that day” used in connection
with the end of the world (yewme izin) and the “the day of resurrection
day” (yewmül qiyameh). Both noun phrases are used; 70 times. Here are two
example verses for these words:
8- Many faces will be joyous on
that day. 88. He Who Besieged, 8

The word moon (Qamar), is used exactly 27 times in
the Quran together with its derivatives. This number is equal to the number
which is the moon’s ecliptic cycle around the world. (We mentioned the Quran’s
description of the moon in the 15th and 16th chapters of our book’s first
section). The Quran indicates that both the sun and the moon are based on
calculation. (Gracious, 55) The sun’s and the moon’s definition in terms of
mathematics is interesting and these words in question are mathematically coded
in the Quran.

days while, the moon’s 12 revolution around the earth makes12 months. The Quran
says that there are 12 months in year. As we all know, a year consists of 12
months. On the other hand, in the Quran, the word “a month” (þehr) is also
mentioned 12 times to indicate that there are 12 months in a year.The following
verse mentions this:

8 - The Date of the
Landing on the Moon
In chapter 16, we studied the expressions in the
Quran that alluded to man’s landing on the moon. One of the most important among
the signs is in the first verse of the sura “Qamar”. The number of verses to be
counted from this verse to the end of the Quran is 1398. The year 1389 in the
Muslim calendar corresponds to the year 1969 in the Gregorian calendar. And the
year 1969 was the year when man landed on the moon for the first time. (On the
other hand, the number 1389 also points out that man will land on the moon 1389
years after this verse or the Quran was revealed by God. Because the Muslim
calendar had started at a time when the revelation was not completed.)
1- The Hour has come and split the

9 - The Land-Sea Ratio
The word sea (bahr) is used 32 times in the Quran.
The word bahr is used both for the sea and other waters like lakes and rivers.
The word land (berr, yabas) is used 13 times. If we calculate the ratio of 32 to
45 the result is 71.111%.
You may look up in any encyclopedia in the world
and see that the lands cover 71% of the earth whereas the seas cover 29% of it.
It is really an interesting miracle that scientific and the Quranic ratios of
the lands to the seas are exactly the same. This knowledge which was not
available in Muhammad’s time is coded in the Quran with concordance of words.
People who will outgrow their stubbornness will see that this is an easy to
understand and impossible to imitate miracle.

10 - The Color White
White is the source of all colors. In the color
spectrum, we can witness that from white derive seven other colors. And when
those seven colors come together, we have the white color. Thus, white has a
special place among the other colors. In the Quran “to be white” is expressed by
the word “ebyad”. The mathematical value of this word is 813. (In Arabic, the
same characters are used both for numbers and letters. That is why each letter,
and consequently each word, has a numerical value). If we add up the numbers of
the verses where the color white is mentioned, we end up with the mathematical
value of the word, viz 813.

12 - Atomic Number of
Iron
There are many references to the chemical
characteristics of iron, in the Quran. Let us see first the verse which mentions
the importance and characteristics of iron:
25- We have surely sent our
messengers with clear signs, and sent with them the Book and the Balance, so
that man may stand by justice; and We sent down the iron, wherein there is
strength, and many benefits for the people.
57.
The Iron, 25
The verb “inzal” in the Quran is usually used to
describe the action of coming from above the earth. The verb “inzal” refers to
the fact that a creation in the world has taken place following an event
exterior to the earth. The temperature of the earth was not sufficient, at the
beginning, for the formation of iron. Not only the earth, but even a middle
sized sun like ours did not have the heat necessary for the formation of iron.
That is why iron must have come to our planet from outer space, as well as to
the entire solar system. The iron we have in our planet today must have come to
our solar system from other suns which had higher temperatures favorable for the
formation of iron. To allude to iron, the Quran uses the verb “inzal” to explain
its origin is the space.
The Quran shows other mathematical miracles by
pointing out the iron’s atomic number, which is 26, in different ways.
1. In the Quran, there is a mathematical value for
every letter. (We gave all the letters and their numerical values in the
chapters on 19). The mathematical value for the word iron (hadid) is 26.

2. The verse which refers to iron is the 25th
verse in the sura Hadid. If we count Basmalah as a numbered verse then that
number is 26.
3. The name God mentioned in this verse for 26th
time is in the 25th verse. The atomic number of an element is the main
characteristic of that element and is determined by the number of its protons
which are the building blocks of that element. Iron’s atomic number is 26
because of its 26 protons. The fact that from the beginning of the sura Iron (Hadid)
till the end of the verse of that sura that alludes to iron, the word God is
used 26 times.

13 - Iron’s Isotopes
As the iron’s atomic number is encoded in the sura
that mentions iron, there is also a sign in that sura about the iron’s isotopes.
1. The word “el hadid” which means a particular
iron has a mathematical value of 57. The article “el” corresponds to “the” in
English. When the word hadid is used with the article “el”, referring to a
specific iron, the mathematical value turns out to be 57.

end of the Quran. That is another isotope of iron.
4. This sura has 29 numbered verses. This number
becomes 30 when the unnumbered Basmalah is counted. This number is equal to the
neutron numbers of two isotopes of iron, from the total of four. The frequency
of the word God in this sura gives the neutron number of the other isotope.

14 - The Highest Degree
One
of the verses of the Quran, points out that God is the owner of the
possessor of high degrees. The verse is:
15-
Possessor of the high degrees, and Ruler of the whole dominion. He sends
inspiration, bearing His commands, to whomever He chooses from among His
Servants to warn about the Day of Gathering.
40. The Believer, 15
“Reify el-derecaat” is translated as “the possessor of the high degrees”,
but it can also be translated as “the one who increases the degrees”. The
word “refii” expresses highness and the word “el-derecat” expresses the
degrees. The mathematical value of “refii”, which states the highest
degree, is 360. And this number is the equivalent of the highest degree in
the universe. The mathematical values are as follows:

15 - The Surah on
Honey-Bees
We observe that in the Quran, the honey bee is mentioned more
specifically than other animals. (We presented this subject in the 43rd
and the 44th chapters). There are many examples of animals in the Quran
but none of them is mentioned in particular except the honey-bee and none
of them is mentioned in successive verses. The number of this sura is 16
and entitled honey-bees (nahl). The number of this sura and the number of
the chromosomes of the male honey-bee are equal. The number of chromosome
of the female honey-bee is 2n which is equal to 32 (16X2). So the number
of the sura indicates the number of chromosomes. The number of chromosome
of an element is like the atomic number of that element, it can not be
changed. Everywhere in the world, the number of chromosomes of the male
honey-bees is 16 and every female honey-bee has 32 chromosomes. On the
other hand, the verse number of this sura is 128, this means; 8 times the
number of chromosomes of the male honey-bee (16) and also 4 times the
number of chromosomes of the female honey-bee (32). Just like the number
of this sura, the verse number is proportional to the number of
chromosomes of the honey-bee.
In this sura, the verses 68 and 69 mention the honey-bees. The first
verse, 68 has 13 words. If we count the words from the beginning of this
sura up to the word honey-bee (nahl) in that verse, we come up with 884
letters. Let us see if this number has any meaning. This number is equal
to the product of the verse number 68 (68X13=884). Can this be
coincidence? There are many different ways in which the Quran shows its
mathematical miracles.

Hereafter
The Quran speaks of two lives: the one in this “world” (Dunya), which is
finite, and the other in the “hereafter” (Ahiret) which is infinite. The
relation between these words in the Quran is very clear. These two words
which are used sometimes together in a verse and sometimes separately, are
mentioned 115 times each. There are two examples below:
185- The
life of this world is no more than an illusion.

words “eþ-þeytan” and “el-melaike” are used, 68 times each in the Quran.

Corruption
The word “benefit” (en nef) is used 50 times in the Quran with all its
derivatives. The same is true for the word “corrupt” (fesad), that is, it
and its derivatives are used 50 times as well. Corruption (fesad) is a
social evil and condemned by the Quran. A person can not benefit (en nef)
from corruption (fesad). The result of corruption is the opposite of
benefit. The use of these two words with negative meanings being in equal
number can not be a coincidence. This may be witnessed in the following
verses:
55- And
remind, for the reminder benefits the believers

The word “sexual crime” (fahsha) and its derivatives are used 24 times in

24 times also. Since these behaviors deserve wrath, the word “wrath” also
is used 24 times in the Quran.
The relationship between the words “sexual crime” (fahsha) and
“transgression” is seen clearly in the verse below:
90- …and
forbidden sexual crime, impropriety and transgression…

brought by human hand and the word “ricz” refers to nastiness caused by
the dirtiness generated by human hand. These two words are used 10 times
in order to show the relation between them. The two verses given below are
examples of these words used in the Quran:

From the Quran, we learn that sorcery is a temptation. It is in the same
verse that these two words are used for the first time. (The Cow, 102) In
this verse, the relationship between these words is clear. These words and
their derivatives are used 60 times each. The verse in which they are used
for the first time as follows:
102-
…Solomon, however was not a disbeliever, while the devils were
disbelievers. Thus, they taught the people sorcery that was sent down
through the two angels of Babel, Harut and Marut, who however never taught
it without saying: ”We are only a temptation. Be not then a disbeliever”…

24 - Language and
Advice
In order to have someone do something, people use different methods like
rewarding, punishment or advising. In rewarding, there is something
pleasant and in punishment there is something unpleasant. In the process
of advising language is used as a tool. The difference between advice and
rewarding and punishment is; advising is done only by using the language
as a tool where as many other tools can be used for the other two methods.
These two connected words, “language” (lisan) and “advice” (mevize) are
used in equal numbers, 25 times each. Two examples are given below from
the Quran;
22- Among
His signs are the creation of the heavens and earth, and the variations in
your languages and your colors. Surely there are signs in these for those
who understand.

Many sentences in the Quran are in the form of reported speech using the
formula “they said” (Qalu) and yet many orders are expressed by another
formula “say” (Qul). These two words which have very clear relationships
are used many times in the Quran; 332 times each. The total number of the
use of these two words is 664. This number is so big that it is even
bigger than the words used in the last 15 suras of the Quran. Mathematical
miracle of the Quran has surrounded it in a unique way. The Quran itself
is a total miracle, such a miracle that it is easy to understand and
impossible to imitate.

26 - Mercy and Guidance
In the Quran, the words “mercy” (rahmet) and “guide” (hüda) are used
together in 13 verses. Actually only this is enough to show the relation
between these words. God’s guidance of mankind is the biggest mercy for
them. These two words are used in the Quran 79 times each in the same
format. The words “Rahman (Gracious), “Rahim” (Merciful) and other
derivatives which come from the same stem of the word “rahmet”, are all
used in a way that they all form a mathematical miracle. We shall examine
the in the next chapter and in the section 19. Below is an example of a
verse where the words “mercy” and “guide” are used together.
77- It is a
guide and mercy for the believers.

27 - Mercy, Merciful
and Gracious
We saw that the word in the form of “mercy” (rahmet) derived from the
stem of “RHM” is used in 13 verses together with word “guide” (hüda) in
the previous chapter and that they are mentioned 79 times each. All the
derivatives of “mercy” (rahmet) are mentioned 114 times (Rahmet 79 times,
rahmetike 3 times, rahmetina 5 times, rahmetini 25 times, rahmeti 2 times)
The name; “rahim” of God also comes from the same stem, RHM, and is used
exactly half the times these words are mentioned, viz. 57 times. The
mathematical miraculous use of these words performs more detailed miracles
on the miracle of 19 in the Quran (They are investigated in details way in
chapters on 19.)

28 - Righteousness and
Reward
The word “birr”, which means righteousness and all its derivatives, are
mentioned 20 times the Quran. God informs us that we shall reap what we
have sown in the next world. None of our good deeds will be left
unrewarded. All the derivatives of the word “reward” (sewab) good deeds
are used in equal numbers, i.e. 20 times. Below are two verses in which
these words are used;
2- …but help
one another in righteousness and piety…

29 - Hope and Fear
The Quran mentions that “hope” (raghben) and “fear” (reheben) should co
exist in praying ritual. Keeping these two conflicting feelings in balance
will save us from despair, on one hand and from being spoiled and arrogant
on the other. These two words, used in conjunction and present two
divergent feelings, are mentioned 8 times each, in the Quran. Below is an
example;
90- ...These
were men who vied in good deeds with one another, and prayed to Us with
hope and fear…

If you ask someone to tell the first thing that comes into his mind when
he hears the word “cold”, his answer will usually be “hot”. One of these
two opposites, “hot” (hare) is mentioned 4 times with all its derivatives
while; the word “cold” (berd) is also mentioned 4 times. Below, two verses
are given as an example;
81- …and
clothes for protection against the hot.

in the Quran. “Ziraat” which means growing of the crops from the earth is
also mentioned 14 times. The final result of all these steps, the “fruit”
(fakihe), is again mentioned 14 times. The verse below contains examples
for these words;
63- Have you
noted the crops you plant?
64- Did you grow them, or did we?

33 - Sin and Sexual
Crime, Transgression, Wrath
We saw, in MMLC 19, that the words “sexual crime” (fahsha),
“transgression” (baghy) and “wrath” (ghazabun) were mentioned 24 times
each, in the Quran. All these words are connected with the word “sin”
(el-ism). Especially since the words “sexual crime” (fahsha) and
“transgression” (baghy) imply the word “sin” (el-ism), their relationship
are clear. And since behaviors which would entail wrath (ghazabun) are
also considered as sin, the word “wrath” (ghazabun) is also related to the
word “sin” (el-ism). As the words related to sin are used 24 times each,
the word “sin” (el-ism) itself is used twice as much, viz. 48 times
(24X2). As some words are used in equal numbers forming a mathematical
miracle, sometimes some others are mentioned twice as often to perform a
different kind of miracle. We shall give some examples to this kind of
miracle in the following chapters. We gave examples for the words “sexual
crime”, “transgression” and “wrath” in MMLC the number 19. Below is an
example for “sin” (el-ism)
120- You
should avoid both, the visible and invisible sins.

34 - Rich and Poor
The word “rich” (ghani) in the Quran is mentioned 26 times. The opposite,
“poor” (fakr) is mentioned 13 times, half as much. It is another miracle
of the Quran that these opposite words which have a meaning relationship
also represent a numerical miracle. The verse below is an example:
38- You are
invited to spend in the cause of God, but some of you turn stingy. The
stingy are stingy towards their own souls. God is rich while you are poor.

35 - Thamud and The
Noise
From the Quran, we learn that the Thamud society had been destroyed by a
noise (sahya) sent upon them. By this definition, we learn that there is a
relationship between the words “Thamud” and the “noise” (sahya). These
words which are presented as related; Thamud is used 26 times, and the
word “noise” (sahya) is used 13 times, half as much. In the verses between
23 and 31 of the sura Moon, the Quran speaks of the destruction of the
Thamud by a noise. In the 31st verse, it is mentioned that Thamud was
destroyed by a noise.
31- We sent
a noise upon them, whereupon they became like harvested hey.

36 - The People of Lot
and the Shower of rocks
In the previous chapter, we pointed out that between the 23rd and 31st
verses of the sura Moon the Quran mentions the Thamud. And in the 31st
verse of the same sura, it is mentioned that Thamud was destroyed with a
noise (sayha). We tried to show the numerical relationship between the
words “Thamud” and the “noise”. In the same sura, 3 verses later, in the
34th verse, it is mentioned that the people of Lot was destroyed by a
shower of rocks (hasibe). In the Quran, while the phrases used for the
people of Lot (kavmun Lot, Ihvanun Lot) are mentioned 8 times, the terms
shower of rocks (hasibe) that destroyed that society is mentioned exactly
half as much, viz, 4 times. It is important to notice that the
destructions of Thamud and the people of Lot are mentioned in the same
sura successively, and they both have the same lexical relationship
between their names and the way they are destroyed. The verse of the sura
Moon which mentions the destruction of the people of Lot is given below:
54- We
showered them with rocks. Only Lot’s family was saved at dawn.

37 - Destination and
Forever
The Quran states that our destination (mesir) is God and the place we
will go is hereafter. It is one of the most important messages of the
Quran that our final destiny (mesir) in hereafter will be forever. (ebeden).
These two words, destination (mesir) and forever (ebeden), which are
clearly interrelated, are used in the Quran in equal number, viz. 28 times
each. Below are two:
43- We are
the one who give life and death and to Us will be the destination.
50. Qaf, 43
9- … Anyone
who believed and did the right, He will remit his sins, and will admit him
into gardens with flowing streams. They abide therein forever. This is the
greatest triumph.

38 - Act and Response
The word “act” (fiil) is mentioned 108 times in the Quran. The acts we
perform will be responded (ecir) when the time comes. Whether we like or
dislike the respond (ecir), it will be the consequence of our acts (fiil).
And these words, “act” (fiil) and “respond” (ecir) in close relations to
each other, are used in equal number in the Quran, 108 times each. It is
the Quran’s miracle to perform such a perfect mathematical miracle as a
whole even though it was completed piecemeal as circumstances
necessitated.
There is not a second book which has so many mathematical lexical
concordance and miracles. The Quran not only presents miracles from space
high above to depths of the oceans, from mother’s womb to animal kingdoms,
it also shows mathematical miracles by using words and phrases in
concordance. It also accomplishes an important mission by introducing our
creator to us.

39 - Sun and A Light
The most important source of light (nur) that comes to our world is the
sun. Even the light (nur) from the moon is sun’s light because moon only
reflects the sun’s light. Our sun is the source of light and heat. The
relation between the words “sun” (shems) and “a light” (nur) is clear and
these two words are used 33 times each. The singular form of light, “a
light” is mentioned 33 times. Our sun is just one of the many light
sources in the universe, but it is the most important one for us. The word
“light” mentioned 33 times in the Quran is used equally 33 times with the
word “sun” which itself is light. Below are two examples:
37- Among
His signs are the night and the day, and the sun, and the moon. &nb
