THE NUMBER OF THE HUMAN CHROMOSOME

That genetic structure is also present in the chromosomes in

the cell nucleus. There are 23 pairs, or 46 chromosomes, in a human cell; 23 from the mother and

23 from the father.

There are some 100 trillion cells in an adult human body.

The cells all possess the same genetic structure.


The scientific world only learned that there are 46 chromosomes in the

human cell in the second half of the 20th century.

These chromosomes also contain DNA molecules in which the

characteristics of the person are recorded.

THE ANGLES IN HONEYCOMBS

Your Lord revealed to the bees: 'Build dwellings in the mountains and the

trees, and also in the structures which men erect. Then eat from every kind of fruit and travel the paths of your Lord, which have been made easy for you to

follow.' From inside them comes a drink of varying colours, containing

healing for mankind. There is certainly a Sign in that for people who reflect.

THE COMPANIONS OF THE CAVE AND HOW THEY SPENT THREE HUNDRED AND NINE (309) YEARS IN THE CAVEDo you consider

that the Companions of the Cave and Ar-

Raqim were one of the most

remarkable of Our Signs? (Surat al-

Kahf, 9)

THE COMPANIONS OF THE CAVE AND HOW THEY SPENT THREE HUNDRED AND NINE (309) YEARS IN THE CAVE

The abjad values of "as-haba alkahfi," meaning "The Companions of the Cave," is 238. (By minor abjad calculation)

The number of syllables in the Surah up to the term "as-haba alkahfi" (Companions of the Cave) is also 238.34

The variety of letters used in the verse up to the term "as-haba alkahfi" (Companions of the Cave) is 7.35

Our Lord's name "Allah" is repeated 7 times in the story of the Companions of the Cave in the Surah.

"As-haba alkahfi" (Companions of the Cave) is in the 7th clause on the page.

This verse is the 7th from the top of the page.

THE COMPANIONS OF THE CAVE AND HOW THEY SPENT THREE HUNDRED AND NINE (309) YEARS IN THE CAVEThey stayed in

their Cave for three

hundred years and added nine. (Surat al-Kahf,

25)

Surat Al-Kahf (The Cave) - الكهف سورة

18:25


Surat Al-Kahf (The Cave) - الكهف سورة

Sahih InternationalAnd they remained in their cave for three

hundred years and exceeded by nine.Pickthall

And (it is said) they tarried in their Cave three hundred years and add nine.

Farsiسال نه و کردند، درنگ سال سیصد غارشان در آنها

) افزودند) آن بر نیز .

18:25



In revealing how long the Companions spent in the cave, the Qur'an says "They stayed in their Cave for three hundred years and added nine." (Surat al-Kahf, 25) In interpreting this verse, commentators say that the Companions of the Cave slept for 300 solar years or 309 years by the lunar calendar.


The number of syllables up to "sineena waizdadoo," meaning

"number of years" is exactly 309.36

There are 309 undotted letters in the Surah up to the term

"sineena waizdadoo".



Then We woke them up again so that we might see

which of the two groups would better calculate the

time they had stayed there. (Surat al-Kahf, 12)


This verse reveals that the reason the Companions of the Cave were woken was to establish which of

the two groups would most accurately calculate how long they had been asleep. The number of

syllables before this verse is exactly 309.37



They stayed in their Cave for three

hundred years and added nine. (Surat

al-Kahf, 25)


The solar year refers to the Earth's revolution around the Sun, and 365.242217 complete revolutions of the Earth constitute a solar year.

A lunar year consists of 354.36768 days, the time in which the Moon orbits the Earth 12 times. There is thus a difference of 10.874537 days between the solar and lunar years; 100 solar years is thus equivalent to 103 lunar years.


In order to determine the equivalent of 300 solar years in terms of lunar years, we need to add on 9 more years – just as in the verse.

The total of all the numbers in this Surah up to this verse is 300. (300 by the Gregorian calendar equates to 309 years by the Islamic calendar.)

There are 309 pages from this page, the last to refer to the Companions of the Cave and their sleep, and the end of the Qur'an.

That was the situation when we woke them up so they could question one another. One of

them asked, 'How long have you been here?' They replied, 'We have been here for a day or

part of a day.' They said, 'Your Lord knows best how long you have been here. Send one of your number into the city with this silver you have, so he can see which food is purest

and bring you some of it to eat. But he should go about with caution so that no one is aware

of you. (Surat al-Kahf, 19)

(Surat al-Kahf, 19)

THE NINE (9) MIRACLES OF THE PROPHET MOSES (PBUH)

Put your hand inside your shirt front. It will emerge pure white, yet quite unharmed – one of nine Signs to Pharaoh and his people. They are a people of deviators.' (Surat

term "tisAAatu rahtin " (9 men) and the end

of the verse.


Nine undotted letters are used from the

term "tisAAatu rahtin " (9 men) and the end

of the verse.40
