It is the journey of creation which Allah, the Almighty, ordered us to contemplate at,
to realize Allah's blessing bestowed upon us and what beautiful when the believer
lives submissively, even for seconds, when he sees the power of Allah is reflected in
the creation of the fetus in his mother's womb. All praises to you Allah! Who created
us in the most beautiful, most magnificent and best form, and granted us your
blessings, the apparent and the hidden. You are more knowing of us than ourselves;
you have talked to us in your glorious book saying: “He knows you well when He
created you from the earth, and when you were fetuses in your mothers’ wombs. So
ascribe not purity to yourselves. He knows best him who fears Allâh and keeps his
duty to Him" Surah An-Najm [The Gathering], 53:32. Oh Allah, we shall neither
ascribe purity to ourselves nor to anyone else, as you are more knowing of our
doings and more knowing of what fits our situation, so prepare for us a knowledge
that gives us benefit and makes us closer to you. Ref: Secrets of Quran Miracles

DNA --- The genetic codeDNA is a macromolecule located at the nucleus of
every cell of our body, it contains more than
three thousands millions information! It also
contains the systems needed for cell
reproduction and the information that guarantee
cellular health and body health in general. One of
Allah’s secrets bestowed in DNA is that nobody
can have DNA similar to another one, therefore it
is considered as a perfect genetic fingerprint to
identify any person and distinguish him form
others.is it a coincidence? Allah Almighty says
about Himself: (He is Allah, the Creator, the
Inventor of all things, and the Bestower of forms.

Explanation About Total number of Ayat (verses) in Al Quran (Click Here)
Scholars have different opinions about the number of the Quranic verses.
But this conflict is just about “numerating” the verses.
Here are some points about the difference:
a) Some scholars numerated the long sentences as 2 or 3 verses, while some others regarded
them as 1 whole verse.
b) Besides, Shafii scholars regarded “Bismillah r- Rahman-ir-Rahim” as a part of each sura and
didn’t numerate them. But the Hanafi scholarsregarded each “Bismillah r- Rahman-ir-Rahim”
as specific verses, so counted them.
c) It’s the same about the hurooful muqattaa (some secret letters which are written in the
beginning of some suras like ”Ya sin, ha mim”.) Some scholars numerated them as specific
verses, while the others not.
The number of the verses according to Scholars:
 Ibn-i-Abbas (RA): 6616
 Nafi (RA): 6217
 Shayba (RA): 6214
 Scholars of Egypt (RA): 6226
20

21.
 Zamahshari (RA) (the genius Eloquence Scholar of the Arabic language and literature): 6666.
 Bediuzzaman, mujaddid (the reformer) of the 13 century, also has the opinion of 6666 verses.
 Ibn-i Huzeyme (one of the big imams) made the following explanations on “6666” issue while
handling the “Quran’s miracle of number” topic of his book titled “An Nasih wa’l Mansuh”:
1) 1000 verses about Promising (wa’ad)
2) 1000 about Threat (wa’id)
3) 1000 Command (amr) verses
4) 1000 Forbiddance (nahy) verses
5) 1000 Information and Story verses
6) 1000 Warning and Example verses
7) 500 verses about Ruling
8) 100 verses about Invocation and Glorification
9) 66 “nasih and mansuh” ("the Abrogating and Abrogated") verses
Totally there are 6666 verses in the Quran
Consequently, the expression “Quran has 6666 verses.” is based on the mentioned points.

Explanation About number of Ruku in Al Quran (Click Here)
 There are 540 Ruku in Al Quran. (Click Here)
 This subdivision is not part of original revelation but adopted later-on to facilitate
completion of Al Quran on the 27th night of Ramadan (i.e. on Laylatul Qadr).
 The Ruku of The Holy Quran was not to be found in the time of Nabi Muhammad (‫,)ﷺ‬ nor
in the time of the Sahaaba (RA). Around 4 AH the Ulema of Bukhara, Russia divided the
entire Quran into 540 Ruku for Taraaweeh purposes.
 The Equation is as Follows:
 When devising these Ruku the Ulema made sure that Ruku contained Ayat of the
same topic and theme; because the Hafiz goes into Ruku after reciting it in one
Raka'at of Taraaweeh Salaah.
 After further study found that Al Quran has Actual 558 Ruku. (Click Here)
(558 Ruku followed in the present discussion)
1 Ruku per Raka'at x 20 Raka'at = 20 Ruku per Night of Ramadan x 27 Nights of Ramadan = 540 Ruku

This Surah was revealed in Makkah most probably during the early days
of prophet Muhammad ‫ﷺ‬) )’s proclamation of his prophethood. But
Many commentators believe that the last verse 20 was revealed in
Madinah. There are three reasons for that: First, the verses 1-19 are
short in length, and verse 20 is almost like a paragraph. This is a general
trend in the Quran that the Makkiyah verses are much shorter than the
Madniyah verses. Secondly, in it are the commands of fight of which
there could be no question at Makkah where handfuls of Muslims were
under severe persecution & third & Lastly in it is also the command of
Zakat which was become obligatory after Hijrah to Madinah. Ref.: 1

In the first 11 verses, Prophet ‫ﷺ‬) ) was commanded to get ready for the
heavy task and responsibility that Allah (‫)ﷻ‬ entrusted on him. He is
commanded to recite and work on Quran almost half of the night and
then in verse 20 there is a relaxation both for Prophet ‫ﷺ‬) ) & for
believers that they may recite that much of Quran that is easy for
them, but now they are instructed to establish prayer & Zakat. Which
again shows that this verse might be revealed after much interval &
now the situation of Muslims would have changed much that they
could easily establish 5 times prayer in their community & Zakat aswell.
