Quranic Golden ratio

.2 Quranic Golden ratio  

The golden ratio (Ф) is mathematically simple and usually approximated to 1.618. There are many  

interesting mathematical properties that have been attributed to the golden ratio which make it unique  

among all numbers (Kak, 2009). The golden ratio has pervasively manifested in the design and construction  

of many living and non-living objects in nature. Indeed, the golden ratio possesses the mathematical  

properties and characteristics that numerous natural objects and phenomena seem to follow. Many scientists  

have called the golden ratio as God’s fingerprint which shows up all over in nature (Livio, 2008; Zonnefeld,  

2

015). In nature, any product design based on golden ratio seems to be naturally connected with a Creator -  

the Master Engineer. Categorically, this divine ratio is a naturally occurring mathematical principle. Many  

believe that the golden ratio is a fundamental characteristic of the universe (Hejazi, 2004; Livio, 2008; Kak,  

2

009). Because of the golden ratio’s unique mathematical properties, all divine scriptures have been  

extensively subjected to varying degrees of numerical analysis to associate them in a way or another to the  

golden ratio in order to prove their divinity, credibility and divine authorship (Man, 2002). In fact, the  

golden ratio has been reported to have an interesting theological trajectory. As far as I am aware, as yet, no  

research findings have been reported to have linked any of the divine scriptures to the golden ratio.  

One of the main intentions of this study is to demonstrate if there is any numerical connection between the  

Quran and the golden ratio. Indeed, it has been proved beyond doubt that many living and non-living objects  

follow the mathematical rules and properties of the golden ratio. Definitely, if the Quran was crafted by  

Almighty God it is most likely that there exists a connection between the Quran and the golden ratio. The  

current study proposes that if there is a basis for a supernatural intelligent design in the Quran then logically  

the golden ratio may have been the primary foundation for its overall design.  

The current study has already computed an index called the Quran Constant (QC) that governs the aspects of  

textual content and physical structural design of the Quran. Thus, it is mathematically demonstrable to  

suggest that this numerical index symbolizes the mathematical design of the Quran. In other words, the  

Quran has been transformed into an index called the Quran Constant (QC 70.44911244) that can be used  

=

to guarantee the preservation of both the text and the structure/arrangement of the Quran. Consequently, this  

index will be carried forward in this study for further analysis. Furthermore, it is known that the Noble  

Quran has various important numerals that constitute its structure and design. The most highly visible  

among Muslims is the total number of chapters, whereby the Quran is comprised of 114 chapters of varying  

lengths ranging from 3 to 286 verses and each verse varies in length from two letters to a full page. In other  

words, the text of the Quran is physically organized in 114 chapters and was performed through divine total  

involvement according to multiple references (Yauri et al., 2012; Almujalli, 2014; Aboul-Enein, 2016).  

Therefore, an important question to be asked, is there any quantitative connection between the Quran  

Constant (70.44911244) and the total number of chapters (114)? We write

114

QC 70.44911244  

It is remarkably interesting that the ratio of the total number of chapters of the Quran (114) which represents  

the physical design of the Quran and the Quran Constant (70.44911244) which represents the mathematical  

design of the Quran is extremely in close agreement with the ideal golden ratio (1.6180339887) and the  

ideal/calculated ratio is within 99.99%. Highly accurate evaluation of the golden ratio in the Quran and other  

Holy Books has never been achieved before, even though, many different studies of varying methodologies,  

approaches and techniques have been implemented on all monotheistic scriptures (Man, 2002). Definitely,  

this remarkable result is extraordinarily compelling evidence that provides a clear support for the divine  

authorship of the Quran. More importantly, this study has its own unique peculiarity in comparison with  

other studies since it has incorporated all textual content of the Quran, including the 112 un-numbered  

Basmalahs and the names of Quran chapters. Therefore, the calculated golden ratio in this study revealing a  

strong connection with the whole textual content of the Quran, unlike most previous studies and analysis  

which have focused primarily on a small subset of the Quran (Akhtaruzzaman and Shafie, 2011).  

Undoubtedly, this important result comprehensively proves that the Quran is structured in a way that it  

follows the golden ratio pattern and therefore according to a superhuman intelligent design. The presence of  

the golden ratio in the design and structuring of the Quran implies that there must be a Creator for this Holy  

Book (Livio, 2008). Indeed, without any reasonable doubt, this mathematical phenomenon cannot happen by  

sheer coincidence or chance because the probability of having this great mathematical phenomenon in the  

design of the Quran is almost infinitesimal. In conclusion, the numerical evidence provides by this study is  

so thoroughly convincing and conclusive to the effect that anyone can unequivocally believe that the  

Quranic design and development must be meticulously inspired and conducted by superhuman power of  

Almighty God.
