PART 5
A GLIMPSE OF SURAT AL-IKHLAS (CHAPTER: SINCERITY): A CHAPTER

EQUALLING ONE THIRD OF THE QUR’AN
After witnessing something of the numeric secrets of Al-Fatihah, the Qur’an’s greatest
chapter, we arrive at a chapter which equals a third of the Qur’an in reward. In this small
chapter is a statement of God Almighty’s supremacy and uniqueness.
We embark on a journey which involves God’s Beautiful Names and how they are reflected in
this chapter, and admire how every letter in this wonderful chapter is crafted with such
careful precision so as to produce a miracle not in meaning or language alone, but a numeric
miracle that is founded on the number 7, bearing witness to the Greatness of its Creator.
A Third of the Qur’an
The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was sitting with his companions one day when he asked
them whether anyone of them was capable of reading a third of the Qur’an in one night.
When they had no answer, the Prophet told them of a chapter which equalled a third of the
Qur’an, namely “He is Allah, the One” (i.e. Surat Al-Ikhlas). Indeed, the Prophet once
explained: “By Him in Whose Hand my life is, it is equal to one-third of the Quran.”1
And we ask: what are the secrets of this splendid chapter? And can the language of
numbers reveal a new miracle that can prove its miraculous nature? We begin our journey
with Surat Al-Ikhlas, and discover a series of arrangements that are all in coherence with the
number 7. Below is this chapter in its entirety:

Al-Ikhlas, 113
The number of words in each verse
1
Sahih Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 93, Number 471
1
Every one of Al-Ikhlas’s four verses contains a specific number of words:
The first verse, )‫َح ٌد‬ َّ

 َ ‫( ُق ْل ُه َو المهُ أ‬, consists of 4 words.
 َّ ُ‫(المَّه‬, consists of 2 words.

The second verse, )‫الص َم ُد‬
 The third verse, )‫(لَ ْم َيمِ ْد َوَل ْم ُيوَل ْد‬, consists of 5 words.
 The fourth and final verse, )‫َح ٌد‬

َ ‫( َوَل ْم َي ُك ْن لَهُ ُكفُ ًوا أ‬, consists of 6 words.
Combining these numbers produces the following arrangement:
              
6 5 2 4
The number 6524, if read in either direction, is a multiple of 7:
6524 = 932 x 7
4256 = 608 x 7
Also, the sum of both results produces a multiple of 7:
932 + 608 = 1540
1540 = 220 x 7
The letters of God’s name, “Allah” )‫(اهلل‬
In Surat Al-Ikhlas, we find a profound arrangement of the letters of God Almighty’s name,
“Allah” )‫(اهلل‬, in each verse. These letters are:
‫ا ؿ هػ‬
We now write each verse (with a breakdown of its letters), along with the number of “Alif”
(‫)أ‬, “Lām” (‫)ل‬, and “Hā’” (‫ )هـ‬letters it contains:
7 :)‫َح ٌد (ق ل هـ و ا ل ل هـ أ ح د‬ َّ
َ‫أ‬ ُ‫ ُق ْل ُه َو المه‬.1
6 :)‫الص َمد (ا ل ل هـ ا ل ص م د‬ َّ

َ‫أ‬ ‫ َو لَ ْم َي ُك ْن لَهُ ُكفُ ًوا‬.4
The resulting arrangement is therefore:

5 4 6 7
5467 is a multiple of 7:
5467 = 781 x 7
Words containing the letters of God’s name, “Allah” )‫(اهلل‬
Of the 17 words of Surat Al-Ikhlas, 14 contain at least one of the three letters making up
Allah’s name in Arabic, while the remaining three2 contain no such letters. 14, of course, is
a multiple of 7 (14 = 2 x 7), and these 14 words are:
‫لَ ْم‬ ‫يُولَد‬ ‫يَلِ ْد لَ ْم‬ ‫ص َمد لَ ْم‬

َّ ‫ال‬ ُ‫اللَّه‬ َ ‫اللَّهُ أ‬
‫َح ٌد‬ ‫ُه َو‬ ‫قُ ْل‬
‫َح ٌد‬
َ ‫ُك ُف ًوا أ‬ ُ‫لَه‬
We now write Al-Ikhlas once more, along with the number of words containing any of
“Allah’s” letters [“Alif” (‫)أ‬, “Lām” (‫)ل‬, and Hā’” (‫ ])هـ‬in each verse:
              
4 4 2 4
The number 4424 is another multiple of 7:
4424 = 632 x 7
Having said that, what is also interesting is that if we only count the words that do not
contain any of the letters of Allah’s name in each verse, we find:
2
These are )‫(يكن‬, (‫ )و‬and (‫)و‬. Note that (‫ )و‬means “and” is a word in its own right despite being one letter long.

2 1 0 0
And 2100 is also a multiple of 7:
2100 = 300 x 7
The arrangement of the letter “Dāl” (‫)د‬
An interesting point about Al-Ikhlas is that all of its verses end with the same letter, namely
“Dāl” (‫)د‬. There is some numeric significance to this peculiar fact, because if we count how
many times this letter is repeated in each verse, we find the following:
              
1 2 1 1
The number representing the repetition of the letter “Dal” in each verse of Al-Fatihah is
1211, a multiple of 7:
1211 = 173 x 7
A Witness to God’s Oneness
The third verse of Surat Al-Ikhlas states:
      
{ He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; (3) }
Al-Ikhlas, 113:3
The first letter of the verse
The above verse begins with the letter “Lām” (‫)ل‬, and as such, we will rewrite the verse and
look for how many times this letter is repeated in each of its words:
)‫ُيولَد (ي و ل د‬ )‫لَ ْم (ل م‬ )‫َو (و‬ )‫َيِم ْد (ي ل د‬ )‫لَ ْم (ل م‬
1 1 0 1 1
4
The number 11011 is a multiple of 7:
11011 = 1573 x 7
The last letter of the verse
We now apply the same logic to the letters Dāl” (‫)د‬, the last letter of this verse:
1 0 0 1 0
10010 is a multiple of 7:
10010 = 1430 x 7
Amazingly, the sum of the two above results is another multiple of 7!
1573 + 1430 = 3003
3003 = 429 x 7
The special phrase  in this verse
Having dealt with the Qur’an’s special phrases, most notably , in previous parts, we
now look for the occurrence of this phrase’s letters, namely “Alif” (‫)أ‬, “Lām” (‫ )ل‬and “Mīm”
(‫)م‬, in the words of this third verse of Al-Ikhlas:
1 2 0 1 2
Indeed, the number 12012 is a multiple of 7:
12012 = 1716 x 7
Also with regard to the special phrases, we established that in total, 14 letters make up the
various phrases, and these are:
‫ا ؿ ـ ص ر ؾ هػ ي ع ط س ح ؽ ف‬
Looking for the repetition of these 14 letters in each word of the above verse, we find:
5
2 2 0 2 2
22022 is also a multiple of 7.
22022 = 3146 x 7
The letters of God’s name “Al-Ahad” )‫(األحد‬
In this wonderful verse, many of God’s 99 names (known as the Most Beautiful Names of
Allah) are reflected in a manner consistent with the number 7. One of His names is “Al-
Ahad” )‫(األحد‬, which means The One or The Unique; in other words, the One with no
partner. The letters of this name are:
‫ا ؿ ح د‬
Using the same method, we now look for these letters in the words of the verse:
2 1 0 2 1
21021 is a multiple of 7 twice:
21021 = 429 x 7 x 7
Even if we look for the letters of “Ahad” )‫ (أحد‬which means One, the consistency is
maintained. The letters of this word are:
‫ا ح د‬
1 0 0 1 0
10010 = 1430 x 7
In summary, the name “Al-Ahad” )‫ (األحد‬produced a multiple of 7 twice, and the final result
was 429. As for “Ahad” )‫(أحد‬, the final results was 1430. Interestingly, if we arranged these
two results side by side, we arrive at another multiple of 7!
6
1430429 = 204347 x 7
The letters of God’s name “Al-Mubdi’” )‫(المبدئ‬
“Al-Mubdi’” is another one of God’s names, and means The Originator or The Producer. Its
letters are:
‫ا ؿ ـ ب د ي‬
3 2 0 3 2
32032 = 4576 x 7
The letters of God’s name “Al-Qadeer’” )‫(القدير‬
The letters of “Al-Qadeer” The All-Powerful are:
‫ا ؿ ؽ د ي ر‬
3 1 0 3 1
31031 = 4433 x 7
Similarly, multiples of 7 can be found using many other names, some of which are “Al-
Malik” )‫(الممك‬, meaning The King, “As-Samad” )‫(الصمد‬, meaning The Eternal; Absolute, “Al-
Hakīm” )‫(الحكيم‬, meaning The Wise, and quite fittingly, “Al-Muhsi” )‫(المحصي‬, meaning The
Accounter or The Numberer of All.
Numbers and their opposites
Having just observed some of the names of God whose letters are repeated across the
words of Al-Ikhlas’s third verse in a manner that creates a multiple of 7, another interesting
fact arises. That is, many of God’s names contain letters which actually form a multiple of 7
if read from either direction. These include:
7
1. The name “Allah” (‫)اهلل‬, the letters of which are:
‫ا ؿ هػ‬
1 1 0 1 1
The number 11011 is read the same from both directions, and is a multiple of 7:
11011 = 1573 x 7
2. The name “Ar-Rahman” (‫)الرحمن‬, the letters of which are:
‫ا ؿ ر ح ـ ف‬
1 2 0 1 2
12012 = 1716 x 7
Its opposite is 21021, also a multiple of 7:
21021 = 3003 x 7
3. The name “Ar-Raheem” (‫)الرحيم‬, the letters of which are:
‫ا ؿ ر ح ي ـ‬
2 2 0 2 2
22022 = 3146 x 7
4. The name “Al-Qadeer” (‫)القدير‬, the letters of which are:
‫ا ؿ ؽ د ي ر‬
8
3 1 0 3 1
31031 = 4433 x 7
13013 = 1859 x 7
5. The name “Al-Mubdi’” (‫)المبدئ‬, the letters of which are:
3 2 0 3 2
32032 = 4576 x 7
23023 = 3289 x 7
The significant numbers of this verse
The verse we are dealing with from Surat Al-Ikhlas is verse 3 of the chapter, and consists of
5 words and exactly 12 letters. Combining these numbers produces the following
arrangement:
      
Letter count Word count Verse number
12 5 3
1253 = 179 x 7
The location of this verse in the Holy Qur’an is also significant. It lies in chapter 112 of the
Qur’an. Combing this to our previous arrangement produces the following:
      
9
Letter count Word count Verse number Chapter number
12 5 3 112
Adding the chapter number to the combination produces 1253112; still a multiple of 7:
1253112 = 179016 x 7
This consistency is maintained if we consider the alphabetic letters making up this verse
rather than the total number of letters. That is, the letters making up this verse are:
‫ؿ ـ ي د ك‬
In other words, 5 different letters comprise this verse, and we therefore replace this
number with the previous letter count of 12.
      
Alphabetic letters Word count Verse number
5 5 3
553 is a multiple of 7.
553 = 79 x 7
Adding the chapter number still creates a multiple of 7:
      
Alphabetic letters Word count Verse number Chapter number
5 5 3 112
553112 = 79016 x 7
And as such, the significant numbers behind this verse all remain so accurately connected to
the number 7, confirming that God is indeed One and that {He begetteth not, nor is He
begotten}!
An Incredible Connection with the Mother of the Qur’an: Al-Fatihah
10
We will now see how Surat Al-Ikhlas is connected to Surat Al-Fatihah, the Holy Qur’an’s first
chapter, and this connection is based on the number 7. Al-Fatihah, as is well known, is
called the Mother of the Qur’an and is its greatest chapter, while Al-Ikhlas equals a third of
the Qur’an in reward. In addition, both speak about God Almighty.

Al-Fatihah, 1
Al-Fatihah is chapter 1 of the Qur’an, its verses are 7, its words are 31, the total number of
letters it contains is 139, and it contains 21 different alphabetic letters.

Al-Ikhlas, 113
Al-Ikhlas is chapter 112 of the Qur’an, its verses are 4, it consists of 17 words and 47 letters,
and contains 13 different alphabetic letters.
Chapter number and number of verses
Al-Fatihah is chapter 1 and its verses are 7, whereas Al-Ikhlas is chapter 112 and its verses
are 4. We now align these numbers to arrive at the following:
11
Surat Al-Ikhlas Surat Al-Fatihah
Verses Chapter Verses Chapter
4 112 7 1
Arranging these numbers gives us 411271, a perfect multiple of 7.
411271 = 58753 x 7
Chapter number and alphabetic letters
Al-Fatihah is chapter 1 and contains 21 alphabetic letters; Al-Ikhlas is chapter 112 and
contains 13 alphabetic letters:
Alphabetic letters Chapter Alphabetic letters Chapter
13 112 21 1
13112211 = 1873173 x 7
Chapter number, verses, words and letters!
The four main numbers that distinguish any chapter are: the chapter number, number of
verses, word count and letter count. We now showcase all four numbers from both
chapters into the following arrangement:
Letters Words Verses Chapter Letters Words Verses Chapter
47 17 4 112 139 31 7 1
The large number assembled from the above arrangement is 471741121393171, and is
nevertheless a multiple of 7!!
471741121393171 = 67391588770453 x 7
Chapter number, verses, words and alphabetic letters!
Replacing the total number of letters with the number of different alphabetic letters
produces the following arrangement:
12
Alph. letters Words Verses Chapter Alph. letters Words Verses Chapter
13 17 4 112 21 31 7 1
Even when we consider the alphabetic letters in our arrangement, the resulting number,
13174112213171, is a multiple of 7:
13174112213171 = 1882016030453 x 7
What is also astonishing is that this system applies to each chapter on its own. Considering
Al-Fatihah, the resulting arrangement is:

Words and letters
13
Every verse in any given chapter houses a specific number of words and letters. And God
Almighty has chosen to organise the words and letters of every verse in Al-Ikhlas (and in
numerous chapters for that matter) in a way consistent with the number 7.
Before writing the number of words and letters of every verse in Al-Ikhlas, we list each verse
on its own, clearly spacing out each word for ease of identification, in addition to breaking
down the words into letters to make counting easier.

The number 15612592114 is a perfect multiple of 7!
15612592114 = 2230370302 x 7
Sum of the words and letters
The sum of the words and letters of verse 1 is 11+4 = 15, that of verse 2 is 9+2 = 11, that of
verse 3 is 12+5 = 17, and that of verse 4 is 15+6 = 21; let us combine these numbers:
Letters and words Letters and words Letters and words Letters and words
21 17 11 15
The number we arrive at is 21171115, which is an amazing result, because this too is a
multiple of 7.
21171115 = 3024445 x 7
We move on to consider the letters of God’s name “Allah” )‫(اهلل‬, that is, “Alif” (‫)أ‬, “Lām” (‫)ل‬,
and Hā’” (‫)هـ‬, and ask: is the system maintained when we merely look for these letters in the
chapter instead of all of them?
14
Words and the three “Allah” letters
The three letters of Allah’s name are:
‫ا ؿ هػ‬
Again, we provide a breakdown of each verse of Al-Ikhlas, for readers to easily locate only
the three letters of Allah’s name shown above:
)‫ُيوَلد (ل م ي ل د و ل م ي و ل د‬ ‫لَ ْم‬ ‫َو‬ ‫َيمِ ْد‬ ‫ لَ ْم‬.3
We now write down the number of words of each verse, along with the number of “Alif” (‫)أ‬,
“Lām” (‫)ل‬, and Hā’” (‫ )هـ‬letters found in each verse:
Letters Words Letters Words Letters Words Letters Words
5 6 4 5 6 2 7 4
The result is 56456274, yet another multiple of 7.
56456274 = 8065182 x 7
To reflect upon some of our findings:
- The number of words of each verse is represented by 6524, a multiple of 7.
- The letters of the name “Allah” in each verse is represented by 5467, a multiple of 7.
- When we eventually combined the above two results; that is, the number of words
in each verse, combined with the number of “Allah” letters, we arrived at 56456274,
a multiple of 7 as well.
Could have any human being designed such a perfectly intricate system?
Another intriguing point is that this system of combing the words of a verse along with the
number of “Allah” letters also holds with the Basmala, the first verse of the Qur’an’s first
chapter:
15
ِ ‫الرِح‬
)‫يم (ب س ـ ا ؿ ؿ هػ ا ؿ ر ح ـ ف ا ؿ ر ح ي ـ‬ َّ ‫بِ ْس ِم اللَّ ِه‬
َّ ‫الر ْح َم ِن‬
This is because it consists of 4 words, and the number of “Allah” letters it contains is 8,
producing the number 84, a multiple of 7!
84 = 12 x 7
The verse number, word count and letter count of each verse
We already observed how the words of each verse in Al-Ikhlas are connected to the number
7. We also saw how the words and letters of each verse are linked to the number 7. We
will now include verse numbers into our arrangement. In other words, in the following
arrangement, we write each verse, along with its number, word count and letter count.
َ‫أ‬ ُ‫المه‬ ‫ُه َو‬ ‫ُق ْل‬

The number 156412539221141 is a perfect multiple of 7.
156412539221141 = 22344648460163 x 7
We can clearly see that no matter how diverse or complicated these numeric relationships
become, they continue to share the common feature of being multiples of 7. To appreciate
the complexity and sheer brilliance of this numeric system, we summarise three of our
arrangements:

1. The number representing the words of each verse is 6524, a multiple of 7.

The Most Beautiful Names of God: “Asmaa' Allah Al-Husna”
God Almighty is the One who revealed this chapter, in which He speaks of His uniqueness,
and so we ask: did he deposit a numeric system related to His Beautiful names within it?
This great chapter speaks of some of God’s attributes, many of which, of course, are
reflected in his various names. We will therefore see how the letters of some of God’s
names are arranged and spread out across this chapter in a way that is eloquently linked to
the number 7.
The letters of the name “Al-Malik” )‫(الملك‬
The letters of God’s name “Al-Malik” (‫)الممك‬, meaning The Sovereign or King, are:
‫ا ؿ ـ ؾ‬
As usual, we will look for these letters in each word of Al-Ikhlas. For instance, the first word
of Al-Ikhlas is )‫(قل‬, the two letters of which are )‫ (ق‬and )‫(ل‬. The letter )‫ (ل‬is one of the
letters of “Al-Malik” and as such, this word is assigned the number 1. The next word
contains none of this name’s letters, and is therefore given the number 0, and so on.
)‫المَّهُ (ا ل ل هـ‬ )‫َح ٌد (أ ح د‬

The number 12112012012331301 is a perfect multiple of 7!!
12112012012331301 = 1730287430333043 x 7
17
Not only that, but amazingly, if we count the total number of “Al-Malik” letters in each
verse, we arrive at another multiple of 7:

The number 7665 is, a multiple of 7.
7665 = 1095 x 7
The letters of the name “Al-Quddus” )‫(القدوس‬
The name “Al-Malik” in the Qur’an has been paired with the name “Al-Quddus” )‫(القدوس‬,
meaning The Holy or The Pure, on more than one occasion in the Qur’an, such as when God
states:
‫َّار اْل ُمتَ َكب ُِّر ُسْب َح َن المَّ ِه َع َّما‬ ِ

ُ ‫السَم ُم اْل ُم ْؤ ِم ُن اْل ُمهَْيم ُن اْل َع ِز ُيز اْل َجب‬

َّ ‫ُّوس‬

 )32( ‫ون‬
{ God is He, than Whom there is no other god;- the Sovereign, the Holy One, the Source of
Peace (and Perfection), the Guardian of Faith, the Preserver of Safety, the Exalted in Might,
the Irresistible, the Supreme: Glory to God! (High is He) above the partners they attribute to
Him. }
Al-Hasyr, 59:23
That being said, we apply the same logic to this name, and look for its letters in every word
of Al-Ikhlas. The letters of “Al-Quddus” are:
‫ا ؿ ؽ د ك س‬

The number 22101131121332312 is yet another perfect multiple of 7!
22101131121332312 = 3157304445904616 x 7
Again, as we did with “Al-Malik”, we now count the total number of “Al-Quddus” letters in
each verse of Al-Ikhlas:
              
7 8 6 8
The number 7868 is a multiple of 7.
7868 = 1124 x 7
To summarise the four results above:
1. The arrangement of the letters of “Al-Malik” in each word of Al-Ikhlas creates a

multiple of 7.
2. The total number of “Al-Malik” letters in each verse creates a multiple of 7.
3. The arrangement of the letters of “Al-Quddus” in each word creates a multiple of 7.
4. The total number of “Al-Quddus” letters in each verse creates a multiple of 7.
Astonishingly, the same system repeats itself with two of God’s names, and what’s more
special is that these names have actually been mentioned together in the Qur’an!
And here we stop and ask: can a human being of even the highest calibre of linguistic
excellence create a literary passage in which he describes himself using various names,
whilst maintaining that the letters of these many names spread out across his passage, only
for a different multiple of 7 to present itself each time? Besides the fact that authors never
write with such a plan in mind anyway and that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon
him) was a man who could never read or write, designing such a complicated piece of
literature is literally impossible.
And now, we analyse two more names of God which have also been mentioned alongside
each other in the Qur’an, namely “Al-Khāliq” )‫ (الخمق‬and “Al-Bāri’” )‫(البارئ‬. This time,
however, we will come across the beautiful phenomenon of reversed numbers. That is, we
will see that some arrangements are only multiples of 7 if read in reverse order: a feature
19
which illustrates the complexity of the Qur’an’s numeric miracle but at the same time makes
it that much more profound.
The letters of the name “Al-Khāliq” )‫(الخلق‬
God Almighty states:
ِ ِ ِ ‫ارئ اْلمص ِّور لَه ْاألَسماء اْلحسنى يسبِّح َله ما ِفي الس‬ ُ ‫ ُه َو المَّهُ ا ْل َخ ِل‬
ُ ‫َّم َوات َو ْاألَْرض َو ُه َو اْل َع ِز ُيز اْل َحك‬
‫يم‬ َ َ ُ ُ َ ُ َ ْ ُ ُ َ ْ ُ ُ َ ُ ُ ِ ‫ق ا ْل َب‬
 )42(
{ He is God, the Creator, the Evolver, the Bestower of Forms (or Colours). To Him belong the
Most Beautiful Names: whatever is in the heavens and on earth, doth declare His Praises
and Glory: and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise. }
The name “Al- Khāliq” means The Creator, and the letters of this name are:
‫ا ؿ خ ؽ‬
Looking for these letters in the words of Al-Ikhlas, the following arrangement is produced:

3 1 3 0 2

َّ
1 1 0 1 1 2
1 1 1 0 1 0
11101011011231302 = 1585858715890186 x 7
The letters of the name “Al-Bāri’” )‫(البارئ‬
The name “Al-Bāri’”, meaning The Evolver, consists of the following letters:
‫ا ؿ ب ر ي‬
20
3 1 3 0 1

َّ
2 1 0 2 1 2
1 1 1 2 1 0
The number 11121021021231301 is in fact not a multiple of 7. However, reading it in

reverse produces 10313212012012111, which is a multiple of 7:
10313212012012111 = 1473316001716000 x 7
One may wonder, however, why the first name was an ordinary multiple of 7, and why the
second had to be reversed to become a multiple. The answer to that, and God Almighty
knows best, is that the Holy Qur’an is a perfectly structured book of such great eloquence
and meaning. And just as the meanings of God’s names vary, so do the directions from
which we read the numeric arrangements that we come across. The following illustration
which depicts the two names “Al-Khāliq” )‫ (الخمق‬and “Al-Bāri’” )‫ (البارئ‬perhaps allude to the
never-ending wisdom and attributes of God Almighty, and that there is no limit to His
words, no matter what direction we take:
“Al-Bāri’” )‫(البارئ‬ “Al-Khāliq” )‫(الخمق‬

Harmony with the Letters of the Basmala
Whoever recites Surat Al-Ikhlas (or any chapter for that matter apart from one3) begins with
the Basmala, or )‫الر ِح ِيم‬ َّ ‫(بِ ْسِم المَّ ِه‬. As a consequence, when analysing the numeric
wonders of Al-Ikhlas, we must also take into account the Basmala, because we find it
written in the Qur’an at the beginning of the chapter, even though it is not one of its verses.
The letters of each verse
)‫الر ِح ِيم (ب س م ا ل ل هـ ا ل ر ح م ن ا ل ر ح ي م‬ َّ ‫بِ ْسِم المَّ ِه‬

Chapter 9: Surat Al-Taubah
21
The Basmala, which we have already analysed in a previous part, consists of 19 letters. We
now arrange the letter count of each verse of Al-Ikhlas, whilst including the Basmala.
Verse 4 Verse 3 Verse 2 Verse 1 Basmala
Letters Letters Letters Letters Letters
15 12 9 11 19
151291119 = 21613017 x 7
The first and last letter count
The first letter count in the previous arrangement was 19, that of the Basmala. The last
letter count was 15, that of the last verse. Merely considering these two numbers also gives
a multiple of 7:
Last Letter Count First Letter Count
15 19
The number 1519 is a multiple of 7 twice.
1519 = 31 x 7 x 7
The Basmala’s letters across the verses
The different letters of the Basmala are:
‫ب س ـ ا ؿ هػ ر ح ـ ف ي‬
We will search for these letters in each verse of Al-Ikhlas, in addition to the Basmala itself.
19 :)‫الر ِح ِيم (ب س م ا ل ل هـ ا ل ر ح م ن ا ل ر ح ي م‬
َّ َّ ‫ بِ ْسِم المَّ ِه‬.1

9 :)‫(و ل م ي ك ن ل هـ ك ف و اً أ ح د‬ ‫َح ٌد‬

Arranging these numbers, we get:
22
9 8 7 8 19
987819 = 141117 x 7
The special phrase 
Again, we encounter the special phrase , the letters of which are:
‫ا ؿ ـ‬
Similarly to the previous exercise, we look for these letters in the Basmala and in each verse
of Al-Ikhlas:
10 :)‫الر ِح ِيم (ب س م ا ل ل هـ ا ل ر ح م ن ا ل ر ح ي م‬
َّ َّ ‫ بِ ْسِم المَّ ِه‬.1
5 :)‫(ق ل هـ و ا ل ل هـ أ ح د‬ ‫َح ٌد‬ َّ

6 :)‫(ا ل ل هـ ا ل ص م د‬ ‫الص َمد‬ َّ

6 :)‫(ل م ي ل د و ل م ي و ل د‬ ‫ُيولَد‬ ‫لَ ْم‬ ‫َو‬ ‫َيمِ ْد‬ ‫ لَ ْم‬.4
5 :)‫(و ل م ي ك ن ل هـ ك ف و اً أ ح د‬ ‫َح ٌد‬

5 6 6 5 10
566510 = 80930 x 7
So we have seen at least one logical explanation to the special phrase . But what is
really amazing is that the same consistency repeats itself with the first and last letter of this
phrase, namely “Alif” (‫ )أ‬and “Mīm” (‫)م‬.

12103 is actually a multiple of 7 twice.
12103 = 247 x 7 x 7
Also astounding is the fact that the sum of the above two final results is a multiple of 7 twice
as well!
247 + 2889 = 3136
3136 = 64 x 7 x 7
The letters of the name “Al-Muhsi” )‫(المحصي‬, meaning The Numberer of All
“Al-Muhsi” )‫(المحصي‬, another one of God’s names, means the Accounter or Numberer of
Allah. In the final verse of Surat Al-Jinn, God Almighty states:
{ ... And He (Allah) surrounds all that which is with them, and He (Allah) keeps count of all
things (i.e. He knows the exact number of everything). }
Al-Jinn, 72:28
The letters of this name are:
‫ا ؿ ـ ح ص ي‬
We now look for these letters in the words of the Basmala and in every word of Al-Ikhlas, to
arrive at the following arrangement:
)‫الر ِح ِيم (ا ل ر ح ي م‬

The number 211120220224323015431 is a perfect multiple of 7.
211120220224323015431 = 30160031460617573633 x 7
This system is preserved when we split this chapter into two logical parts, the first two
verses being an affirmation and the second two a negation:
1- First Part: Affirmation
{ Say: He is God, the One and Only; (1) God, the Eternal, Absolute; (2) }
         
This part is an affirmation of God Almighty’s absolute uniqueness, and looking for the letters

The second part, a negation that God Almighty ever had any partners or equals, produces
the following arrangement:
2 2 0 2 2
26
2 1 1 1 2 0
Indeed, 21112022022 is also a multiple of 7, even when read from the opposite direction.
21112022022 = 3016003146 x 7
22022021112 = 3146003016 x 7
Even if we take a closer look at these last two verses, and find the letters of “Al-Muhsi” in
each verse on its own, we still arrive at multiples of 7:
The following is the third verse in the chapter:
2 2 0 2 2
22022 is a multiple of 7 if read from either side because it reads the same in both directions:
22022 = 3146 x 7
The last verse in Al-Ikhlas gives the following:
2 1 1 1 2 0
211120 is also a multiple of 7 from either side:
211120 = 30160 x 7
21112 = 3016 x 7
In these magnificent results is a beautiful indication, perhaps, that it is none other than God
Almighty who “numbered” these chapters, verses, words and letters, uniquely protecting
the Holy Qur’an and fastening it from any alteration.
The letters of the name “Al-Mubdi’” )‫(المبدئ‬
Do the exact same results repeat themselves with the name “Al-Mubdi”? Let us now study
the arrangement of its letters across the words of Al-Ikhlas. These letters are:
27
‫‪4‬‬ ‫‪3‬‬ ‫‪3‬‬ ‫‪2‬‬

‫‪4‬‬ ‫‪3‬‬ ‫‪2‬‬ ‫‪3‬‬ ‫‪0‬‬ ‫‪1‬‬
‫‪4323014332 = 617573476 x 7‬‬
‫‪The same applies, of course, to the second half:‬‬
‫ُيولَد (ي و ل د)‬ ‫لَ ْم (ل م)‬ ‫َو (و)‬ ‫َيِم ْد (ي ل د)‬ ‫لَ ْم (ل م)‬
‫‪3‬‬ ‫‪2‬‬ ‫‪0‬‬ ‫‪3‬‬ ‫‪2‬‬

‫‪21112032032 = 3016004576 x 7‬‬
‫‪2302321112 = 328903016 x 7‬‬
‫‪28‬‬
Splitting up the second half of the chapter into its two respective verses and considering
them separately still gives us multiples of 7:
3 2 0 3 2
The above arrangement creates a multiple of 7 from both sides:
32032 = 4576 x 7
23023 = 3289 x 7
2 1 1 1 2 0
211120 = 30160 x 7
21112 = 3016 x 7
Coincidence?
Some readers may claim that these results came by way of coincidence, but the truth is that
logical reasoning disagrees with the assumption that coincidence can occur this frequently
or this consistently. Nevertheless, the Holy Qur’an contains plenty more numeric wonders
that completely wipe out this possibility.
For one thing, we already looked at two pairs of God’s names that have been mentioned
together in the Qur’an, and each name in both these pairs has produced a multiple of 7
when its letters have spread out across Al-Ikhlas. We will now look at two more names that
have been paired together in the Qur’an, and see whether the consistency is preserved.
Logically speaking, coincidence denies that both these names will produce a multiple of 7
(albeit that this has occurred on two occasions already). The letters of one may produce a
multiple of 7, but for both to produce a multiple of 7 yet again is indicative of the existence
of an All-Knowing and All-Wise God.
In describing Himself, God Almighty states:
 ‫ود‬

The name “Al-Ghafūr” )‫ (الغفور‬means The All-Forgiving, and “Al-Wadūd” )‫ (الودود‬means The

{ God is the Creator of all things }
Al-Zumur, 39:62
We will now take the letters of this phrase and look for them in the words of Al-Ikhlas, to
find out if a multiple of 7 can still be produced. The letters comprising this phrase are:

The system of accumulated numbers: a truly profound arrangement
In Surat Al-Ikhlas is a very precise system hidden in the letters of each of its words. Having
already witnessed a precise system of accumulated numbers with the words of Al-Fatihah,
where we counted the letters of each word in accumulation, the resulting arrangement
giving a massive multiple of 7, we perform the same exercise here. We now write the
chapter in full, along with the Basmala, and under every word its letter count in addition to
that of the previous word or words.

The result is a huge number, but 6663595754525147454441393430272321191373 is

nevertheless is a decimal-free multiple of 7!!
6663595754525147454441393430272321191373 =
951942250646449636348770490038903027339 x 7
This brilliantly flawless result proves to us that no matter how diverse the different ways of
counting, combining and arranging numbers become, the perfection of the Holy Qur’an is
such that it accommodates all, and is only a further indication of the inimitability of this
numeric miracle.
The numeric system behind the letters of “Allah”
Looking into Surat Al-Ikhlas, we find that some words contain at least one of the letters of
the name “Allah”, whilst others contain no such letters. We will now write the words of Al-
Ikhlas, and below each word, a number expressing the existence or absence of any of
“Allah’s” letters, namely:
‫ا ؿ ق‬
The number 1 will represent the existence of any letter from “Allah” in a word.
The number 0 will be given to any word which contains none of these letters.
1 1 1 0

1 1 1 1 1
34
َّ
1 1 0 1 1 1
1 1 1 0 1 0
The number 111010110111111111110 is a perfect multiple of 7:
111010110111111111110 = 15858587158730158730 x 7
The Letters of Allah: “Alif” (‫)أ‬, “Lām” (‫)ل‬, and “Hā’” (‫)هـ‬
Throughout this part, we witnessed how the letters of God’s names spread out across the
words of Al-Ikhlas. We will now experience a brilliant system of numeric arrangement with
each letter of God’s main name, Allah, namely “Alif” (‫)أ‬, “Lām” (‫)ل‬, and “Hā’” (‫)هـ‬.
We will soon conclude that the inimitability of the Qur’an’s numbers is not only limited to
the letters of His names when considered collectively, but that each letter taken on its own,
in fact, is so precisely arranged across this chapter in a way that still manages to create exact
multiples of 7!
The letter “Alif” (‫)أ‬
We now write Al-Ikhlas below, along with the number of “Alif” (‫ )أ‬letters in each word:
1 1 1 0

1 1 1 0 0

The number 001000000000101100010 is not a multiple of 7, but if reversed, it gives

010001101000000000100, which is a multiple of 7:
010001101000000000100 = 1428728714285714300 x 7
Therefore, we have established that the number representing the letter “Alif” (‫ )أ‬in the
chapter was a multiple of 7, and so was that representing the letter “Lām” (‫)ل‬. As for the
‫) ـ‬, the number representing it was only a multiple of 7 once reversed.

letter “Hā’” (‫ه‬
Reversed order?
The first letter of Allah’s name is “Alif” (‫ )أ‬and the last is “Hā’” (‫)هـ‬. Having witnessed a
beautiful system of arrangements for both these letters in terms of their spread across the
words of Al-Ikhlas, we can represent the numeric results of each letter with the following
arrows:
Last letter in the name “Allah” First Letter in the name “Allah”
← →
These arrows represent the directions of reading each letter’s respective arrangement. That
is, the first letter in “Allah” is “Alif” (‫)أ‬, which produced a multiple of 7 when read from the
left towards the right. The last letter, “Hā’” (‫)هـ‬, was a multiple of 7 when read from the
right towards the left. We witnessed a similar example earlier of these opposite arrows, and
if anything, it is almost as if these two directions symbolise the fact that God’s words have
no end, no matter what direction we take!
Finally, after diving into the midst of a chapter equalling one third of the Qur’an, all that can
be said is that what we witnessed of its numeric patterns is probably a fraction of its
wonders; had we discovered all of them, we would certainly need more than a mere book
like this one!

Summary
We summarise what has been covered throughout this part in the following:
1. Surat Al-Ikhlas is chapter comprising of a combination of words and letters which

have been so perfectly organised by God Almighty in a manner which makes it
impossible for any human being to replicate.
2. God Almighty has arranged the letters of this chapter in such a way that it achieves
an abundance of numeric arrangements connected to the His Beautiful Names, and
all these arrangements have produced multiples of 7. The idea behind these
arrangements, of course, is that we count what each word or verse contains from
the letters of God’s names, and arrange these figures to achieve numbers which
have always been multiples of 7 despite being significantly large numbers on
numerous occasions.
3. The existence of an intricately precise system for the names of God Almighty in a
chapter which speaks about God Almighty Himself is but tangible evidence that it is
He who has revealed this chapter, He who has arranged it, and He alone who has
sealed it from any alteration!

What numeric patterns are found in Surah Al-Ikhlas?

What numeric patterns are found in Surah Al-Ikhlas?

How are the letters of God's name 'Allah' arranged in the surah?

How are the letters of God's name 'Allah' arranged in the surah?

A GLIMPSE OF SURAT AL-IKHLAS (CHAPTER: SINCERITY): A CHAPTER

A Third of the Qur’an

The number of words in each verse

The first verse, )‫َح ٌد‬ َّ

 َّ ُ‫(المَّه‬, consists of 2 words.

 The fourth and final verse, )‫َح ٌد‬

Combining these numbers produces the following arrangement:

The number 6524, if read in either direction, is a multiple of 7:

Also, the sum of both results produces a multiple of 7:

932 + 608 = 1540

The letters of God’s name, “Allah” )‫(اهلل‬

The resulting arrangement is therefore:

Words containing the letters of God’s name, “Allah” )‫(اهلل‬

‫لَ ْم‬ ‫يُولَد‬ ‫يَلِ ْد لَ ْم‬ ‫ص َمد لَ ْم‬

The number 4424 is another multiple of 7:

And 2100 is also a multiple of 7:

The arrangement of the letter “Dāl” (‫)د‬

A Witness to God’s Oneness

The third verse of Surat Al-Ikhlas states:

      

{ He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; (3) }

The first letter of the verse

)‫ُيولَد (ي و ل د‬ )‫لَ ْم (ل م‬ )‫َو (و‬ )‫َيِم ْد (ي ل د‬ )‫لَ ْم (ل م‬

The last letter of the verse

)‫ُيولَد (ي و ل د‬ )‫لَ ْم (ل م‬ )‫َو (و‬ )‫َيِم ْد (ي ل د‬ )‫لَ ْم (ل م‬

Amazingly, the sum of the two above results is another multiple of 7!

1573 + 1430 = 3003

The special phrase  in this verse

(‫)م‬, in the words of this third verse of Al-Ikhlas:

)‫ُيولَد (ي و ل د‬ )‫لَ ْم (ل م‬ )‫َو (و‬ )‫َيِم ْد (ي ل د‬ )‫لَ ْم (ل م‬

Indeed, the number 12012 is a multiple of 7:

22022 is also a multiple of 7.

The letters of God’s name “Al-Ahad” )‫(األحد‬

)‫ُيولَد (ي و ل د‬ )‫لَ ْم (ل م‬ )‫َو (و‬ )‫َيِم ْد (ي ل د‬ )‫لَ ْم (ل م‬

21021 is a multiple of 7 twice:

)‫ُيولَد (ي و ل د‬ )‫لَ ْم (ل م‬ )‫َو (و‬ )‫َيِم ْد (ي ل د‬ )‫لَ ْم (ل م‬

The letters of God’s name “Al-Mubdi’” )‫(المبدئ‬

)‫ُيولَد (ي و ل د‬ )‫لَ ْم (ل م‬ )‫َو (و‬ )‫َيِم ْد (ي ل د‬ )‫لَ ْم (ل م‬

The number 32032 is a multiple of 7:

The letters of God’s name “Al-Qadeer’” )‫(القدير‬

The letters of “Al-Qadeer” The All-Powerful are:

)‫ُيولَد (ي و ل د‬ )‫لَ ْم (ل م‬ )‫َو (و‬ )‫َيِم ْد (ي ل د‬ )‫لَ ْم (ل م‬

The number 30131 is a multiple of 7:

Numbers and their opposites

)‫ُيولَد (ي و ل د‬ )‫لَ ْم (ل م‬ )‫َو (و‬ )‫َيِم ْد (ي ل د‬ )‫لَ ْم (ل م‬

2. The name “Ar-Rahman” (‫)الرحمن‬, the letters of which are:

)‫ُيولَد (ي و ل د‬ )‫لَ ْم (ل م‬ )‫َو (و‬ )‫َيِم ْد (ي ل د‬ )‫لَ ْم (ل م‬

Its opposite is 21021, also a multiple of 7:

3. The name “Ar-Raheem” (‫)الرحيم‬, the letters of which are:

)‫ُيولَد (ي و ل د‬ )‫لَ ْم (ل م‬ )‫َو (و‬ )‫َيِم ْد (ي ل د‬ )‫لَ ْم (ل م‬

4. The name “Al-Qadeer” (‫)القدير‬, the letters of which are:

5. The name “Al-Mubdi’” (‫)المبدئ‬, the letters of which are:

)‫ُيولَد (ي و ل د‬ )‫لَ ْم (ل م‬ )‫َو (و‬ )‫َيِم ْد (ي ل د‬ )‫لَ ْم (ل م‬
