QURAN MIRACLES
|Mathematical Miracles in Lexical Concordance|
>>> 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.
>>> 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.
>>> 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.
