Quranic Word Count Balance and Harmony
Before reading it is noteworthy that about 5 years prior to this finding Peggy posted the following on our “about us” page at DavidAllender.com;
I have always preached BALANCE and David often refers to me as the “Balance Queen”.
So what you’re about to read had great significance to me when I stumbled across it!
The first and most basic level of Quran mathematics involves counting the number of times specific words have been mentioned in relation to relevant, related words or counterparts. Their harmonious balance is remarkable, and since some instances of this harmony are relevant to other topics, we have saved them for later. The best way to understand this topic is by going directly to the findings.
In the Quran, the word “man” in its singular form is mentioned a total of 24 times, which is exactly the same number of times the word “woman” in its singular form is mentioned.
Is this a coincidence? Because Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) could neither read nor write, this match seems incredible, but on its own may still be dismissed as coincidence. As Muslims, we know that nothing in the Quran is random, but how can we be further assured that this mathematic harmony was intended and not just selective pattern hunting on our part? Researchers have addressed this by searching for other examples of word-harmony, and the findings are miraculous.
“Angels” are mentioned 88 times in the Quran, while “devils” are also mentioned 88 times. This is an extra unique and amazing case, because “angels” without its derivative forms appears 68 times, and with its other forms (singular, plural, and possessive), 88. If we look into this more deeply, we find that “Al-Shaytan” (the alien hybrid species among us which begin in Genesis 6:4) also appears 68 times, and with its derivatives (singular, plural, and possessive), also 88. This is stunning, and simply impossible for any human being to plan out intentionally.
“Iblis” (a jinn) is mentioned 11 times, and seeking refuge with Allah is also mentioned 11 times.
The phrase “Allah likes (loves)” and its opposite, Allah dislikes (does not love), both appear exactly 16 times each!
The word “belief” is mentioned 25 times, and the word “disbelief” is likewise also mentioned 25 times.
The word “coolness” (cold) is mentioned a total of 4 times, while the word “heat” (hot) is mentioned 4 times.
Winter is mentioned one time, while the word “summer,” too, is mentioned only once (see Quran 106:2).
The words “East” and “West” in their various forms are both mentioned exactly 16 times each.
The word “planting” is mentioned 14 times, as is the word “harvesting.”
Likewise and appropriately, the word “fruits” is also mentioned 14 times.
The word “tree” (in its various singular and plural forms) is mentioned 26 times, while the word “plants” (plant growth) is also mentioned 26 times.
The phrase “Seven Heavens” is mentioned exactly seven times!
“Noor” (which means illumination, reflected light, or guiding light, depending on the context) alone, without its possessive or derivative forms, such as the verb meaning “illuminating,”
The phrase appears in two different formats, one of which starts with the number “seven” and is followed by the word “Heavens” (Skies), while the other starts with the word “Heavens” (Skies) and is followed by the number “seven.” Both mean the Seven Heavens.
“Noor” (which means illumination, reflected light, or guiding light, depending on the context) alone, without its possessive or derivative forms, such as the verb meaning “illuminating,” is mentioned 33 times, while the sun is also mentioned 33 times.
The word for “closeness” and “getting nearer” is Zulf. In its different forms, it appears in the Quran 10 times. Appropriately, the word for “farness” and “being away” is A’zl, and in its various forms, it, too, appears 10 times.
Throughout the Quran, we see Allah commanding the Prophet (PBUH) with the word “say,” such as when He commands: “Say, ‘He is Allah, the Only One.’” (Quran 112:1) In contrast, when people (usually the non-believers) say something, this is shown through the Arabic word for “they say.” When we count the number of times the word “say” appears, it is 332, and when we count the number of times “they say” appears, it, too, is amazingly 332!
One form of the word “day” present in the Quran is “that day” (yawma-ith, one word in Arabic), which often refers to “Resurrection Day,” which is “Yawm Al-Qiyama” in Arabic (two words). So, what is the relationship between the two expressions? Both the Arabic word for “that day” and the phrase “Resurrection Day” are repeated exactly 70 times each!
As for the plural form of the word “Paradise” (“Jannat” in Arabic), it is repeated 77 times, just as Hell (“Jahannam”) is also repeated 77 times in the Quran.
“Lowered down” (“habat” in Arabic) in its various forms appears in the Quran eight times. Likewise, the word for “fell down” (“saqat”) also appears eight times in its various forms.
The specific word for “clouds” in Arabic (A’arith) appears two times, while the word for “thunder” (Ra’d) also appears two times.
The Arabic word for “this world” (“Al-Dunya”) appears in the Quran 115 times, while the word for “the afterlife” (“Al-Akhirah”) also appears 115 times.On and on, we have these impossible matches displaying perfect harmony and balance. With regard to other words of interest, such as the words “day,” “month,” “black,” “green,” and so on.
As stunning as this harmony may be, this approach to Quran mathematics barely touches the surface, and is just a starting-point! Note, also, that these observations are not just about number relationships within the Quran. As you will see, they are also relevant to natural phenomena occurring outside the Quran as well.

“Coolness” (Cold) in the Quran (Chapter : Verse): 21:69, 38:42, 56:44, and 78:24. Total = 4 mentions. Note that a word spelled with the same letters (but different vowels) means “hail” (frozen rain), which, of course, does not count as an instance of “coolness” (cold).
“Heat” (Hot) in the Quran (Chapter : Verse): 9:81 (2 times), 16:81, and 35:21. Total = 4 mentions. Note that a word spelled with the same letters (but different vowels) means “free person,” which, as above, does not count as an instance of “heat” (hot).
“East” in the Quran (Chapter : Verse): 2:115, 2:142, 2:177, 2:258, 7:137, 15:73, 19:16, 24:35, 26:28, 26:60, 37:5, 38:18, 43:38, 55:17, 70:40, and 73:9. Total = 16 mentions. Note that a similar word with a different meaning (related to the earth becoming covered with the light of its Lord, and more specifically becoming illuminated with light) appears in 39:69, and this, too, of course, is not counted as an instance of “East.”
“West” in the Quran (Chapter : Verse): 2:115, 2:142, 2:177, 2:258, 7:137, 18:17, 18:86 (2 times), 20:130, 24:35, 26:28, 28:44, 50:39, 55:17, 70:40, and 73:9. Total = 16 mentions. Note: Using root words in online search engines may generate false results here. This is because the search engines will probably also count the Arabic word for “crow” (the bird), as the letters of this word are similar to those found in the Arabic word for “west.” The two words differ, however, with respect to how they are spelled (including different vowel marks for each word) and thus pronounced. Clearly, “west” and “crow” are two completely different things.
“Planting” in its various forms (planting, you plant, and different forms of the Arabic word “Zari’”) in the Quran (Chapter : Verse): 6:141, 12:47, 13:4, 14:37, 16:11, 18:32, 26:148, 32:27, 39:21, 44:26, 48:29 (2 times), and 56:64 (2 times). Total = 14 mentions.

“Tree/s” in the Quran (Chapter : Verse): 2:35, 7:19, 7:20, 7:22 (2 times), 14:24, 14:26, 16:10, 16:68, 17:60, 20:120, 22:18, 23:20, 24:35, 27:60, 28:30, 31:27, 36:80, 37:62, 37:64, 37:146, 44:43, 48:18, 55:6, 56:52, and 56:72. Total = 26 mentions. Note that there is also one mention of a word spelled the same way, but which means a “happening” (pertaining to a disagreement that occurs between people and used as such in 4:65), which obviously does not count as an instance of “tree/s.”
“Plants” in the Quran (Chapter : Verse): 2:61, 2:261, 3:37 (2 times), 6:99, 7:58, 10:24, 15:19, 16:11, 18:45, 20:53, 22:5, 23:20, 26:7, 27:60 (2 times), 31:10, 36:36, 37:146, 50:7, 50:9, 57:20, 71:17 (2 times), 78:15, and 80:27. Total = 26 mentions.
