A Small but Striking Bit of Quranic Math

Standard

While studying the relationship between the last three suras in the Quran and the first, Al-Fatiha, I did some calculations separating the prime numbers from the composite numbers in the word and letter counts with astounding results in both. I do consider these four suras as a {3,4} set of suras, where 3 suras are at the end and one is at the beginning, thus connecting the end with the beginning. Like the name Allah with its pair of “lams” in the center, these suras also form a “pair” in the center of suras Al-Falaq 113 and An-Nass 114, which scholars unanimously consider a “pair,” called Al-Mu’awwidhatayn, meaning “Verses of Refuge.” This makes the four then a {2,3,4} set, this set of numbers mentioned in 4:3 and 35:1.

First, here are the counts for each sura.

Now we add the results.

Note: these numbers are redundant & represent individual aya counts’ of words + letters PLUS their totals (thus repeating the word/letter counts 2x). But because these results are based on comparing prime and composite results, this may give the results validity on that basis. In any case, the results are quite remarkable.

The number 500 amplifies the number 5, associated with “hands,” by the “celestial” power of 100 for the primes. As for the composites, it’s hard to imagine a more powerful Quranic number than 19 squared, the number 19 having significance both as the 8th prime mentioned in Surat Al-Mudaththir 74:30, and a major factor in the total number of suras, 114 (6×19), and other significant elements in the Quran.
