Thursday 20130523 – Teacher Ahmed Saeed presented a brief finding of his research on the significance of the Number 7 in the Glorious Qur’an and Islam.  This phenomenon is referred to as the ‘numeric miracle’ of the Qur’an.
His research on this amazing topic primarily centres around the work of an engineer named Abdu Da’im Al Kaheel entitled Miracle of the Seven Mathani.

Abdu Da’im explained, ‘After studying thousands of Qur’anic words and passages, I have arrived at what can be considered the discovery of an intricate numeric system that rests within the verses of the Noble Qur’an.
‘The foundation and basis of this numeric system is the number 7, one of the most significant numbers in the Noble Qur’an1 (if not the most significant), and a hint, perhaps, that the Creator of the seven heavens is indeed the One Who sent down this Book, preserving it from distortion..’

One of the easiest ways to prove the validity and divine origin of the Qu’ran, though not necessary for Belief, is to compare scientific hints in the Quran against the scientific knowledge agreed upon by most scientists today. Abdu Da’im mentioned that, by this process, we will find that whatever was mentioned in the Quran is true. The Quran has scientific information that could not possibly have been known at the time of Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu’Alayhi Wa Sallam. Many of such scientific information have only been discovered recently by scientists using modern technologies that were not available 1434 years ago.

Some examples are: the number 7 is used 24 times throughout the Qur’an; 7 Heavens, 7 Earths and 7 Roads of the Heavens.  There are 7 days in the week; 7 colours in the rainbow; 7 orbital shells surrounding the atomic nucleus when considering the Micro world; 7 folds Heavens when considering the Macro world; 7 ingredients human beings have been created from; 7 stages in the life of human beings; 7 moving objects amongst the stars including the sun and moon; etc.  In the Bible too, there is deep symbolism of the number 7 viz.7 days of creation; 7 deadly sins; etc.

And Allah Almighty knows best!
