A Well known scholar from the Islamic Gateway www.ummah.net brings you a glimpse of this
study.
Dr.Tarig Al Swaidan discovered some verses in the Holy Qur'an that mention one thing is equal
to another, i.e. men are equal to women.
Although this makes sense grammatically, the astonishing fact is that the number of times the
word man appears in the Qur'an is 24 and 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,
i.e. 24 = 24.
Upon further analysis of various verses, he discovered that this is consistent throughout the
whole Qur'an, where it says one thing is like another. See below for astonishing result of the
words mentioned number of times in Arabic Qur'an: Word/ Meaning Mentioned in the Quran
If we add up the total words of both "sea" and "land" we get 45. Now if we do a simple
calculation:
32/45 X 100% = 71.11111111%
13/45 X 100% = 28.88888888%
Above is what we know today, the percentages of Water (Sea) and Land in the world. Yet another
miracle in the Quran.
The Miracles of the Quran will never end. There will never be a time where mankind can fully
take in the knowledge that is in this holy book. It is a miracle to all mankind, the word of God.
There is no value that one can set to the words of the Creator. It is a treasure of which guides
those that want to succeed in this life and the hereafter.
Statistics of Al Quran

four consecutive verses.
ALLAH(SWT) used his Name, Allah, in the Quran 2698 times, Rahman 57 times, Rahim 114
times and Ism 19 times. These numbers are other than Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim.

Hazrat Zaid bin Harisa is the only companion of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) named in Quran
After the revelation of this Verse, the Prophet of Islam, lived another 80 days in the world. No
other revelation came to him during those eighty days. The Message was complete; "the religion
had been perfected". The Revelation had thus ended forever.
What is Quran
The Qur'an comprehends the complete code for the Muslims to live a good, chaste, abundant and
rewarding life in obedience to the commandments of Allah, in this life and to gain salvation in
the next. It is the "chart of life" for every Muslim, and it is the "constitution" of the Kingdom of
Heaven on Earth.
Quran is verbally revealed through angel Jibril (Gabriel) from God to Prophet Muhammad
(PBUH) gradually over a period of approximately twenty-three years beginning in 610 CE, when
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was forty, and concluding in 632 CE, the year of his death.
Shortly after Prophet Muhammad's death the Quran was compiled into a single book by order of
the first Caliph Abu Bakr (R.A) and at the suggestion of his future successor 2nd caliph Hazrat
Umar (R.A). When the third Caliph Hazrat Usman (R.A) began noticing slight differences in
Arabic dialect he made several thousand copies of Quran, to standardize the text. This process of
formalization is known as the "Uthmanic recension".
The Qur'an is the eternal contemporary of the Muslims. Each generation of Muslims has found
new sources of strength, courage and inspiration in it. It is also, for them, a "compass" in the
turbulent voyage of life, as it has explained itself in the following verses:
. . . Indeed, there has come to you light and a clear book from Allah; With it Allah guides him
who fill follow His pleasure into the ways of safety and brings them out of utter darkness into
light by his will and guides them to the right path. (V: 15-16)
It has created an all but new phase of human thought and a fresh type of character. It deserves the
highest praise for its conceptions of Divine nature in reference to the attributes of Power,
Knowledge, and Universal Providence and Unity--that its belief and trust is one God, creator of
Heaven and Earth is deep and fervent, and that it embodies much of a noble and moral
earnestness. It is Qur'an which transformed the simple shepherds and wandering Bedouins of
Arabia into the founders of empires, the builders of cities, the collectors of libraries. If a system
of religious teachings is evaluated by the changes which it introduces into the way of life, the
customs and beliefs of its follower, then Qur'an as a code of life is second to none. It is not
strange then, that more translations and more commentaries of the Holy Qur'an have been
published than that of any other book claimed to be the Divine Revelation.
Uniqueness
Quran is different from all other books ever existed in ways that are impossible for any other
book to be, such that similar texts cannot be written by humans. The Quran itself challenges any
who disagree with its divine origin to produce a text of a miraculous nature. Till the Day of
Judgment no one can change even a single dot in Quranic text, thats why all the Quranic copies
around the globe contains the same original text and is unchanged for the last 1400 years.
Qurans poetic form is unique and of a fashion that cannot be written by humans. It also contains
accurate prophecy and that no other book does.
Surahs (chapters)
A group of ayat has been declared to make up a Surah. Surahs vary in length, shortest ones have
only three ayahs and the longest one has 286. There are 114 Surahs in the Qur'an numbered from
1 to 114. Surah means something divided or walled from both sides. All Surahs begin with
Bismillah except Surah No. 9 called At-Taubah or the Repentance. All Surahs have been divided
into Makki and Madani but a Makki Surah may contain a few verses revealed in Madinah and
vice versa. There are some differences of opinion among the scholars of the Qur'an regarding the
place of revelation of a few verses and their inclusion into a given Surah. All Surahs have been
given names but not titles. A title is a brief, one word or two words description of the contents
but name is not a description. For example, the name John or Yahya does not describe anything
about this person but Dr. Yahya has a title Doctor describing his education. Similarly, names of
Surahs like Al-Baqarah (the Cow) or Al-Ankaboot (the Spider) are not titles of those Surahs but
only names. If they were titles, the Surah would be about the cow and spider, respectively.
However, in some rare cases a name of a Surah may also be its title, such as Surah Yusuf.
Manazil (stations)
The Qur'an is divided into seven approximately equal parts for the convenience of reciting the
whole Qur'an in one week. Each of the seven parts is called "Manzil" or station or the plural is
Manazil or stations. There is some indication that Prophet Muhammad may have suggested such
a division but there is no definite proof of it. A Manzil (singular of Manazil) consists of a number
of whole Surahs as given below. If we take Surah 1 as preface of the Qur'an and exclude it from
the seven Manazil, the division of Manazil follows:
Manzil No. 1. Surahs 2, 3 and 4.
Manzil No. 2. Surahs 5 to 9.
Manzil No. 3. Surahs 10 to 16.
Manzil No. 4. Surahs 17 to 25.
Manzil No. 5. Surahs 26 to 36.
Manzil No. 6. Surahs 37 to 49.
Manzil No. 7. Surahs 50 to 114.
Hizb (group)
According to this system each Juz is further divided into two Hizbs and each Hizb is further
divided into four quarters. It means that a Juz has two Hizbs and eight Hizb-quarters or each Juz-
quarter has two Hizb-quarters. The whole Qur'an is divided into 240 Hizb-quarters. This allows a
person to recite the Qur'an in small groups of verses and complete the recitation in one-month to
eight-month period. In addition, Hizb partitioning of the Qur'an allows a Muqri (Qur'an reciter)
to recite one Hizb in each Raka'ah of Salat at-Traweeh and finish one Juz every night in eight
Raka'hs thereby completing the whole Qur'an in 30 nights of Ramadan. Partitioning of the
Qur'an in Hizb is not found in the copies printed in South Asia.
Groups of Surahs
Some Qur'an scholars talk in terms of groups of Surah or complementary couples of Surahs.
These complementary groups or couples are based on the themes and like contents. For example,
there is a group of Musabbihat, five Surahs that begin with glorification of Allah (Sabbah lillahi
or Yusabbihu lillahi). There are many other groups of Surahs that have been suggested. Also,
there are twins or complementary couples, such as Surahs 2 and 3 make a couple, Surahs 91 and
92 is another couple. According to such scholars most of the Qur'an consists of complementary
couples.
mention one thing is equal to another, i.e. men are equal to women. Although this makes sense
grammatically, the astonishing fact is
that the number of times the word man appears in the Holy Qur'an is 24 and 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, i.e. 24 = 24. Upon further analysis of various verses, he
