Bismillah ir Rahman nir Raheem.
Assalamalaikum wa Rehmatullahi wa Barakatuh!
According to a word count done on the Quran:
- Surprisingly, the word "prayers", or "Salawat", is only mentioned 5 times which matches the number of times we have to pray.
- The word dunya is mentioned 115 times and so is akhirah (the hereafter).
- Angels are mentioned 99 times and so are devils.
- Life and Death are mentioned in equal numbers, both 145 times.
- Messengers and People are mentioned an equal number of times, because the messengers came for the people.
- Iblees (Shaitan) and Seeking refuge from him are both mentioned 11 times.
- Zakah and Barakah are mentioned equal number of times.
- Prophet’s Muhammad's name, salla Allaahu ‘alayhi wa salaam, and Shari'a are mentioned equal number of times.
- Day and Night are mentioned an equal number of times.
- Man and Woman are mentioned an equal number of times, 24 times each.
- Intellect and Light are mentioned an equal number of times.
These related terms are mentioned an equal number of times in the Quran. SubhanAllah!
Is this a coincidence? Absolutely not!
"So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?" [55:18]
“Recite in the name of your Lord who created - Created man from a clinging substance.Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous - Who taught by the pen - Taught man that which he knew not.” [96:1-5]
“And We did not give Prophet Muhammad, knowledge of poetry, nor is it befitting for him. It is not but a message and a clear Qur'an, To warn whoever is alive and justify the word against the disbelievers.” [36:69-70]
Every Ayah in the Quran is a miracle. The word ayah, itself, means a "miraculous sign".
The Quran transforms lives. But are we doing what it takes to let it transform us?
May Allah give us the ability to study his miraculous speech.
May Allah help us all understand the Arabic language.
May Allah help us become best friends with the Quran and open our hearts to its message!
InshAllah!

I would recommend everyone to take the time and watch this, inshAllah.
And more importantly, let us open up the Book of Allah and witness the divine speech, the divine miracles ourselves, inshAllah!
