Marvels of the Quran

Amir ul Mumineen (SA) states:
“Its wonders never perish and its marvels never cease.”

The marvels of the Quran e Majeed have fascinated scholars across the centuries; the wealth of knowledge derived beckons them to delve even deeper under the surface. Whether it is the particular wording of a surat, that holds interest or a scientific theory explained in an ‘ayat, researchers are learning something new from the Quran everyday.

One discovery that had people scrambling to their calculators was of a mathematical nature. It was discovered that an intricate code existed in the ‘ayats of the Quran,
 

  • The opening ‘ayat of the Quran e Majeed بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم   contains 19 letters
  • The Quran e Majeed has 114 surats (19 x 6)
  • The word الله is mentioned in the Quran 2698 times (19 x 142)

That this connection existed was proof that the Quran e Majeed could not have been tampered with by deletions or additions. 

Indeed there is a link and reasoning behind every word in the Quran e Majeed.

The significance of 19 or why a surat has 7 ‘ayats, why a word is placed in such a manner or why it is spelt in a certain way are all marvels for a discerning mind.

 Amirul Mumineen SA once spent a whole night explaining the significance of the dot below the ب  in

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Amirul mumineen SA, whilst extolling the virtues of the Quran proclaimed,

“The zahir of the Quran is elegant and its batin is profound/deep.”

Imam Sadiq(SA) explained this depth to one of his followers; He said “indeed we can give seven interpretations for each word (of the Quran).” Skeptical, the man questioned the Imam SA “seven interpretations?”  The Imam SA replied “Yes, even seventy.”   

In the Chehlum waaz this year Aqa Moula(TUS) advised,

This Quran that has 114 surats is full of marvels; reflect upon them when reciting it, for there is a wealth of meaning in each word. He exclaimed further ‘if the Quran e Samit is filled with such wonders then what can be said in the shaan of the Quran e Natiq!’
