18. 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

19. 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.
To Him belong the Best Names) Surah Al-Hashr

20. There are many benefits in the fig fruit that were mentioned in the Glorious Quran,
and rather Allah, the Almighty took an oath by it. The most important of which is that
fig is very rich in minerals. It is also very useful in the prevention of cancer. It also acts
as tonic for the cells; it delays the aging process and contains a substance excreted by
the brain which is very vital material and necessary for the function of the heart,
brain and organs of the body. It is necessary to take few pieces of figs after the age of
35 to supply the body with this item that is necessary for its vitality. Some research
also confirms that the leaves of the cactus benefit diabetic patients. Does not this
fruit deserve to be taken oath with by Allah, the Almighty and even a special Sura;
chapter in the Quran to be named after it. Allah stated in Glorious Quran, Al-Tin [The
Fig] 95:1-4, ‘By the Fig and the Olive, And the Mount of Sinai, And this City of
security,- We have indeed created man in the best of moulds’.

A recent British study has found that the growth of the brain lasts until almost the age of forty
and then it stops afterwards. Another study affirms that the mental capacities start to
deteriorate after the age of forty. Amazingly, the holy Qur’an says that man reaches the age of
full strength when he becomes forty and then consequently starts deteriorating after wards.
Allah, the almighty says in the holy Qur'an:
“We have enjoined on man kindness to his parents: In pain did his mother bear him, and in
pain did she give him birth. The carrying of the (child) to his weaning is (a period of) thirty
months. At length, when he reaches the age of full strength and attains forty years, he says,
"O my Lord! Grant me that I may be grateful for Thy favour which Thou has bestowed upon
me, and upon both my parents, and that I may work righteousness such as Thou mayest
approve; and be gracious to me in my issue. Truly have I turned to Thee and truly do I bow (to
Thee) in Islam."” Ahqaf: 46: 15
Our question to all skeptics of the message of Islam is how Prophet Mohammad, PBUH, knew
that the age of forty is the separating line between the completion of mental capacities and
the deterioration of such capacities.

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
22
23. 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.

(1000+1000+1000+1000+1000+1000+500+100+66 = 6666)

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

The Prophet Muhammad ()ﷺ said:
Whoever recites Surah Nisa, is as if this person has spent property in the way of Allah ()ﷻ as much as
any Muslim gets by virtue of the purport of this Surah, and also, an equal reward of a person who has
freed a slave, will be given to him.
Hazrat Ali bin Abu Talib (R.A.) said: One who recites Surah Nisa every Friday will be safe from the squeeze
of the grave.
The Surah started revealing at an early time in Madinah when Muslims were confronting on many fronts.
Thus side by side it discusses other major issues of dealing with the opposition and simultaneously
propagation of Islam. There were also tensions between this new community of Muslims and nearby
tribes of Jews. Thus it also deals with the people of the Book who were showing a hostile attitude
towards Muslims. They have been warned of their conduct. Simultaneously Muslims have been warned
of the hypocrites who were trying to weaken the newly born Muslim society from inside. Features of
hypocrisy have been distinctly identified to facilitate the Muslims to differentiate between the two.
