@MuhammadIsmail-ii6yc The Night, the Day, the Sun and the Moon
The words “night”, “day”, “sun” and “moon” are all found in the Qur’an. However, they have been mentioned together in the same verse on two occasions, and interestingly, the order is the same on both occasions: “night” is mentioned first, followed by “day”, “sun”, and “moon”. For example, God says: {It is He Who created the Night and the Day, and the sun and the moon: all (the celestial bodies) swim along, each in its rounded course.} [Al-Anbiya’, 21:33]
But more amazingly, the number repetitions of each of these words in the Holy Qur’an is in that very same order: “Night” has been repeated the most, followed by “day”, then “sun”, and finally “moon”!
The word “night” is repeated 92 times.
The word “day” is repeated 57 times.
The word “sun” is repeated 33 times.
The word “moon” is repeated 27 times.
Qur’anic and Universal Compatibility!
God Almighty is the Creator of this universe and the One who revealed the Holy Qur’an to mankind. Therefore, it is necessary for consistency to be found between the Qur’an and the universe, and this was something that truly caught me by surprise when I came across the following profound numeric miracle.
We have already established that the moon reassumes the same form in exactly the same position every 19 years. The sun’s cycle, on the other hand, repeats itself every 11 years. In other words, we can say that the universal cycles of the sun and moon repeat themselves every (19 x 11) years, or every 209 years.
Since the degrees of dark and light (or night and day) are determined by the sun’s solar cycle and the moon’s metonic cycle, which are represented by the numbers 11 and 19 respectively, we can also say that the cycles of night, day, the sun and the moon repeat themselves every (19 x 11) years, or every 209 years.
That being said, when we count the repetitions of the words “night”, “day”, “sun” and “moon” across the entire Qur’an, we find that they are repeated:
92 + 57 + 33 + 27 = 209 times!
And the number 209 is equal to 19 x 11. In other words, the cycles of the night, the day, the sun and the moon take place every 209 years, and the repetition of those very four words in the Qur’an is also 209, resembling the exact number of those years!
The Miracles in Brief
1- The word “night” in the Qur’an always comes before the word “day”, and in this fact lies two observations, a universal and numeric observation. Universally, night, or darkness, originated first, and is accordingly mentioned first. Numerically, “night” is mentioned more times than “day”, and for that reason too, is accordingly mentioned first.
2- The word “sun” in the Qur’an always comes before the word “moon”, and again, our observations are the same. In our universe, the sun is the source of light, and the moon merely reflects this light, therefore, it is only fitting for it to be mentioned first. And in terms of numbers, “sun” is mentioned more times than “moon”, and it thus makes sense that it is mentioned first for that reason as well.
3- The words (The night and the day, and the sun and the moon) appear in that order wherever they are mentioned in the Qur’an (two instances), and there is also both a universal and numerical significance here. First, universally, night (or darkness) prevails over almost the entire universe. That is, it covers more than 99% of it. Day (or light) has its presence in less than 1% of the universe. Next comes the sun, which is larger than the moon, and so we notice a descending order in terms of size. Numerically, of course, as we stated before, the repetition of these words is also in the same descending order.
4- The sun’s solar cycle, which is a sign of day, is repeated every 11 years, and the moon’s Metonic cycle, which is a sign of night, is repeated ever 19 years. And the words “night”, “day”, “sun” and “moon” are repeated a total of 11 x 19 times in the Qur’an, in a manner that matches their respective cycles.
Finally, we can only ask: Could this beautiful coming together of universal and Qur’anic marvels have occurred by chance? Can coincidence be used to explain this immaculate compatibility, or is the Creator of this universe Himself the One who sent down this Holy Scripture? He explains in the Qur’an: {God is the Creator of all things, and He is the Guardian and Disposer of all affairs.} [Al-Zumar, 39:62].
