Secret of Quarters Page Numbers in the Holy Quran


Background

The Holy Quran is the book of Allah inspired through the Angel Gabriel peace be upon him to the last and seal of all prophets and messengers, Mohammed Son of Abdullah, peace and blessings of the almighty be upon him, his family, and his companions and all those who follow him sincerely until the day of judgment. It is known for being miraculous, and a challenge to reproduce for all mindful creation. Its recitation is a workship. The Noble Quran begins with the opening Sura (Al Fatiha) and concludes with the last Sura (Al Nas). The Quran is composed of 114 Suras, 6236 verses (ayat), 30 Juzus, 60 Hizbs, 120 Half Hizbs, and 240 Quarter Hizbs. The book occurs in 605 pages.


Juzus Case: Perfect Linear Relationship

It was previously noted that the first and last page numbers of each Juzu is accurately and perfectly related to the Juzu number itself (Figure 1). It is clear that for any Juzu in the Quran, we can find the exact first page number by the formula in the top right corner in figure 1. For example, to calculate the first page number for Juzu number 16, we multiply the Juzu number by 20 to get 320 and then we subtract 18 to get 302 which is the first page number in Juzu 16. There are three exceptions to this rule; namely, Juzu Number 1 which starts on page number 1, Juzu Number 7 which starts on page number 121, and Juzu Number  11 which starts on page number 201.




It is also clear that another relationship can be derived that accurately calculates the last page number for each Juzu based on the Juzu number given. Figure 2 demonstrates this fact. For example, in order to know the last page number for Juzu 2, we multiply 2 by 20 and add 1 to get 41 which is the last page number in Juzu number 2. Once again, there is one exception to the last page formula. Juzu 30 in the quran does not conclude on page number 601 but rather on page number 605.

Hizbs: High Accuracy and Some Variability
The case of Hizbs, Half Hizbs, and Quarter Hizbs is a little more challenging than that of the beginning and end of Juzus. Although accurate relationships exist with correlation coefficients of 1, these relationships are not exact. In fact, if we write each page number as a three digit number, we can derive accurate relationships for the first two digits on the left (hundreds and tens digits) but there will be some level of variability in the right-hand digit. To demonstrate this fact, let us take Hizb number 45 as an example. This Hizb will start with a page number of 44_. Although we know for sure that the page is four hundred and forty but we are not sure if it is 441, 442, or 443. If we open the book of Allah, the Quran, and read through the first page of the Hizb number 45, we will note that the first page number in this Hizb is 442. If we wish to know the first page number in Hizb 16, on the other hand, we can be sure that this Hizb starts on page 15_. However, we do not know if the exact number is 151, 152, or 153. In this case, if we open the book of Allah to read the through the first page of Hizb 16 we will find out the first page number of Hizb 16 is 151. Therefore, we can see that although we can determine the page numbers where a given Hizb starts or ends with a high level of accuracy, we can not be 100% sure of the exact number of the page. This is also true about relationships of page numbers where half hizbs and quarter hizbs start and end. We can succinctly summarize these findings in the dot scan provided in figure 3. In figure 3, we can see that although we can be confident about whether we are in the first or second half of a hizb and what that hizb is, we can not be 100% confident about which quarter of hizb we are in. This is true because the first and second quarters overlap in number 3 in the right-hand digit of the three digit page numbers. It is also true because the third and forth quarters overlap in number 8 in the right-hand digit of the three digit page numbers.

New Findings: The Secret of Variability in Quarter Hizb Page Numbers
The question that we can think of; Is there a special sign about the right-hand digit of the page numbers where quarter hizbs start and end? We know that we have 240 quarter hizbs in the Holy Quran. The page numbers where these quarter hizbs start, if taken as three-digit numbers give us 240 right-hand digits. These digits take any value from 0 through 9. Please note that 0 is last because it is the right hand digit on forth quarters. If we count the frequencies with which each of these digits from 0 to 9 appear on the a page number of a quarter of Hizb beginning, we will come up with the values in table 1. To find the mirror image of any image that can be generated from table 1, we need to countersign one of our variables by multiplying either variable; right-hand digit or frequency by -1.

We now use Excel clip wizard feature to sketch the mirror image of the xy scatter plot with smooth line connections generated from drawing the right-hand digits of the starting page numbers of quarter hizbs and their respective frequencies to obtain figure 4. Our question to the arabic language reader is; what do you read in figure 4 below? If you can see the word Allah in arabic our next question will be, is this a coincidence? And is it not time yet to believe in Allah, angels, prophets, books, and last day? Is it not time yet to act based on these beliefs?

Figure 4
"Mohammed" Peace Be Upon Him (PBUH)
Table 2
One last bit of beauty of the Noble Quran is when we investigated the word "Mohammed" in arabic as it was mentioned in the Quran. Mohammed is the name of the last prophet to mankind. He is Mohammed peace and blessings of Allah the almighty be upon him. He is the son of Abdulla born 570 A.C. and to whom the Noble Quran was inspired through the angel Gabriel peace be upon over a period of 23 years. This name Mohammed was mentioned in the Quran 4 times. In table 2 below, we list the sura number and the respective verse number where this word "Mohammed" was mentioned in the Quran.

Figure 5.
If we use the same Excel clip wizard function and the same plot type, i.e. an xy scatter plot with smooth line connections, we can generate a curve from the four data points of the suras and the respective verse numbers where the word "Mohammed" was mentioned, as shown in figure 5 below. This figure is again a mirror image and one can clearly and quickly note that it is tick mark sign which is used in arabic culture as well as globally to mark correct answers. The word of Allah in the Book of Allah through a code of numbers amazingly sign the correct tick sign for the word "Mohammed" which is he name of the last prophet for mankind.
Conclusions
The Glorious Quran is the Book of Allah and once again close study of its structure including its mathematical make-up reveals that it can not be the works of Man. We call on all experts in all fields and from all faiths to pay attention to the guidance from Allah the almighty given in the Quran and we encourage more research from the muslims and Mankind to serve the book of Allah and further our discoveries of the fascinating aspects of its miraculous nature. We invite all mankind to open their hearts for the words of wisdom, the words of Allah the almighty.
