Recent findings on the numerical structure of Quran

gazihan's picture

On this web page that was autmatically translated from German, you can see some recent findings about the numerical structure of Quran. Here is the original German site and here is the forum post by the discoverer.

It shows that a lot of the synonyms, antonyms or related words in Quran have either the same number of occurances, or the numbers of their occurances are numerically related.

Now I think this is phenomenal. Even though one can argue that you can write down the words with same number of occurances and select the words that are related and there may be other related words with totally unrelated occurances, there being so many closely related words with related occurance counts can only be deliberate. The verse 72:28 that says: "... He has counted the number of all things" makes it look even more deliberate.

I also think that like other similar works, they might be percieved as a bunch of unrelated findings, if not presented that way. This would mostly be because they are presented as raw data and not all of them follow the same pattern. I think what would make this and others harder to argue against would be finding patterns of occurances and group these based on those patterns. Such a study and extraction of some global patterns would indeed be useful.
