Salaam,
Salaam ibn_a
I noticed that your posts are mainly about numbering of verses etc in the Quran to show the number 19. There seems to be an obsession of showing the pattern of 19 using mathematical formulas in order to prove that it is a special number in relation to Quran 74:30.
...
Salaam Truth Seeker,
- Not about obsession, the question should be:
Is there a numerical structure in the Quran and what is the purpose?
If not, then what is the information for example given in:
https://www.islamawakened.com/quran/72/28/default.htm72:28 So as to make manifest that they have conveyed the messages of their Lord. He encompasses what they have, and has counted everything in numbers.AND
https://www.islamawakened.com/quran/74/24/74:24 Then he said, "Not (is) this but magic imitated.
74:25 Not (is) this but (the) word (of) a human being."
74:26 Soon I will drive him (into) Hell.
74:27 And what can make you know what (is) Hell?
74:28 Not it lets remain and not it leaves,
74:29 Scorching the human (skin).
74:30 Over it (are) nineteen.
74:31 And not We have made keepers (of) the Fire except Angels. And not We have made their number except (as) a trial for those who disbelieve - that may be certain those who were given the Scripture and may increase those who believe (in) faith, and not may doubt those who were given the Scripture and the believers, and that may say those in their hearts (is) a disease and the disbelievers "What (does) intend Allah by this example?" Thus does let go astray Allah whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows (the) hosts (of) your Lord except Him. And not it (is) but a reminder to (the) human beings.
74:32 Nay! By the moon,
74:33 And the night when it departs,
74:34 And the morning when it brightens,
74:35 Indeed, it (is) surely one (of) the greatest,
74:36 A warning to (the) human being,
... Do you not think that by doing this, a person would get side tracked instead of reading the Quran?
...
- Not sure why someone would think that the numerical structure of the Quran distract from reading the Quran and reflecting, on the contrary I think it is a
divine tool among others to ponder on the Quran.
...
The meaning of the words should be reflected and upon that basis, someone can decide if they believe it to be God's word?
...
That does not exclude that the Quran contains for example :
scientific facts, historical facts, linguistic perfection, numerical structure, prophecies ,etc...
Some examples to consider about the structure of the Quran:
- Chapter 2 has 286 verses, why such a long chapter, compared to :
- Chapter 108 very short chapter, which has only 3 verses:
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
انا اعطينك الكوثر
فصل لربك وانحر
ان شانيك هو الابتر- The legth of 74:31 compared to the other verses in this chapter.
- Absence of the basmalah in chapter 9, extra basmalah inside chapter 27.
- What about the chapters with initial letters, and their location.
-
Events repeated and scattered throughout the Quran : Moses and Pharaoh , Noah and his people , Adam and the angels/malaika, etc...
Human logic would expect:
- Chapters of approximately the same length.
- A chapter dedicated to each Prophet / Messenger, like chapter Joseph.
- A chapter about creation, Hereafter,...
- Historical order, etc...
...
Also in your post about the numbers of 'Basmalah' there is a BIG MISTAKE which ruins the formula used to find 19. It says that 'The Basmalah has 19 letters and is repeated 114 times in the Quran 114 = 19 x6'
Bismillah OCCURS IN THE QURAN 115 TIMES, not 114 times
113 of those are at the start of the chapters (Surah Taubah has no Bismillah)
2 of those are found inside chapters. 1 Bismillah in Surah Hud and 1 Bismillah inside Surah Naml
Surah Hud
“He said, “Embark upon it. In the Name of God be its coursing and its mooring. Truly my Lord is Forgiving, Merciful.” (11:41)
Surah Naml
“Verily, it is from Solomon and verily it is, In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful.” (27:30)
So your 'Basmalah' formula is incorrect!
- No it is
not a mistake, with all due respect, but I think that you confound what is scholarly named as:
"THE BASMALAH / البسمله " with
"BISMI ALLAH / بسم الله " "THE BASMALAH / البسمله " i.e
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم has 19 letters and occurs 114 times in the Quran https://www.academia.edu/37494956/Farid_Gabteni_-_The_Sun_Rises_in_the_West_9th_edition_2018_page: 141
والله اعلم
Allah knows best.
