THE NUMERIC MIRACLE OF THE FIRST VERSE IN THE QUR’AN

In this part, we experience a divine miracle in four words: the verse most recited in the life of every Muslim.…

It is the first verse of the Qur’an, commonly known as the “Bismila”: { In the Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful } Al-Fatihah, 1:1

Using the unequivocal language of numbers, we will witness how every single letter in this verse carries with it a divine miracle, proving that such a verse could not have been the work of man.

We finally ask: Besides the Qur’an, does any book carry so many hidden numeric accuracies within its words? Can anyone realistically respond to the challenge of the Qur’an and produce a book, even a chapter, like it?

Recited constantly by millions of Muslims all over the world, the Basmala serves as a precursor to all their daily actions. Made up of only four Arabic words, saying this verse brings Muslims comfort and assurance that God is their true Lord and Protector, and that He alone answers their prayers.

But that is only true for those who believe in the message of the Qur’an. What about those who simply don’t? What about people who are sceptical about the Qur’an, or people who reject the very concept of God, and any notion of religion for that matter? What about people who only believe in literal reality, in science and all things tangible?

Could God have deposited in His Book literal proof that this Book is His indeed? Is there anything in this Book, and particularly in this verse, that tangibly proves not only the existence, but the true greatness of God Almighty?

Allah the Almighty, as we believe and will attempt to illustrate, has constructed the Holy Qur’an in a way that is based remarkably on the number 7. Without further ado, it’s time to plunge into the secrets of this verse in much more detail.
