  • 16 The Quran is made up of all the 28 (7x4)
    letters of the Arabic alphabet
  • 17 In Surah Al Hijr, Verse 9
  • Verily, We, it is We Who have sent down the
    Dhikr (Quran) and surely We will guard it
    (from corruption).
  • This verse contains 28 (7 x 4) letters
    equivalent to the no. of letters of the Arabic
    alphabet. It starts with an Alif and ends with
    a Nun just like in the Quran, the first Al
    Muqattaat letter is Alif and the last is
    Nun. It consists of 7 letter Nun suggesting
    that the Quran has a large percentage of its
    verses ending with letter Nun.

18
  • 18 There are 14 (7x2) Al Muqattaat
    (Abbreviation letters) or Futuhat
    (Introductory letters) eg Alif Lam Mim, Ya
    Sin, Ta Ha etc
  • 19 These 14 Al Muqattaat form 14 (7x2)
    different symbols (spreading over 29 chapters)
  • 20 Of the 14 (7x2) Surahs with the command for
    prostrations, 7 of them contains Al Muqattaat.
    The 7th is one which begins with Yaa ayyuhal
    ladzi na amanu

    with the initials Ha Mim (Surah No. 40, 41,

    Al Muqattaat in separate verses Ha Mim and
    Ain Sin Qaf
  • 23 The surah that has the phrase wa ma adra
    kama and is answered with the most number of
    times (i.e. 10 times repeatedly) is Surah Al
    Mursalat or Surah No 77. In this surah, this
    question is asked at verse no.14 (7x2) with the
    last (10th) answer is at verse no.49 (7x7)

20
  • 24 Between the first surah with wa ma adra
    kama (Surah 69) and the last one (Surah 104),
    there are exactly 28 (7x4) surahs.
  • 25 The number of surahs that has verses which
    command for prostrations is 14 (7x2) as agreed
    by all scholars. However, Imam Syafie suggested
    prostration at Surah Al Hajj, verse 77. As such,
    this becomes the 7th verse for prostrations.
  • And what will make you know what

21
  • 26 The last surah that mentions the name
    Allah is surah No. 112 (7x16)

    surah that mentions the number 7 (i.e. surah
