Words total in the Quran

Words total in the Quran  

The development of a mathematical relationship or an algorithmic equation to determine the total number of  

words in a human authored book is so overwhelmingly impossible task. In fact, it is absolutely unattainable  

to link numerically the relationship between the total number of letters and the total number words in a  

human designed book. Such scenario could only be achievable if supernatural intelligent design has been  

responsible for authoring the book. The big question: does the Quran have an embedded mathematical  

formula that leads to the knowledge of the ratio of the total number of letters and the total number of words?  

To answer this, we need to compute a numerical value that represents one of the mathematical  

characteristics of the Abjad numerals. As far as I am aware, no one has yet used this mathematical property  

of the Abjad numerals in the numerology of the Quran. The importance of this numerical value has clearly  

manifested in the current study because this study has observed that Almighty God embeds a unique  

mathematical relationship between this numerical value and the Quran Constant that will surprisingly lead to  

the ratio of the total number of letters and the total number of words of the Quran with extremely high  

accuracy. This numerical value is given the symbol, . In the Abjad numerals system the 28 Arabic  

A

alphabets are assigned values from 1,2,3,…to 7,8,9, then 10,20,30,….to 70,80,90, then 100,200,300…..to

This numerical value is a property of the Abjad numerals and constant for any textual book written in Arabic  

language whether it is a divine scripture or human authored book. Surprisingly, the sum of the first 28 digits  

of A   3.141154761904761904761904761) is equal to 114, the total sum of the Quran’s chapters.

We recall that the Quran Constant (QC) has been computed and is directly proportional to the Abjad value  

of the Quran. However, A was calculated and it is inversely proportional to the Abjad value. Therefore,  

generally we expect that there is an exponential relationship between the two numerical values: QC and A ,

where qLW is an exponential proportionality constant. By taking the natural algorithm of both sides of

Remarkably, the result (qLW =3.717391219) obtained is almost practically identical to the actual ratio of the  

total number of letters divided by the total number of words (letters/word ratio) in the Holy Quran  

(325384/87530= 3.717399749). Further, according to this result, the total number of words in the Quran can  

be calculated to give

According to the first drawing of the Quran (the way the Quran was written and documented under the direct  

guidance and supervision of Prophet Muhammad), the actual total number of words in the Quran is 87530  

(Table 4). This is a miraculous correspondence between the theoretical result obtained by the current study  

and the Quran (the actual/calculated ratio is within 99.9998%). More importantly, the calculation of qLW  

can be seen largely as a validation criterion of both the total number of letters and the total number of words  

in the Quran. Definitely, the mathematical formula obtained in this study proves without any reasonable  

doubt that Almighty God, in a supernatural way, embedded the ratio of the total number of letters and the  

total number words in a mathematical system that governs the structural design and composition of the  

Quran. Definitely, this amazing mathematically-based invisible, unobservable phenomenon in the Quran as  

manifested by the numerical determination of the total number of words provides an overwhelming tangible,  

brilliant and convincing proof of its authenticity and divine revelation. Certainly, there can be no natural or  

earthly explanation of this mathematical phenomenon.
