Mathematical Patterns In The Quran? | Mufti Abu Layth

Sir Ahmad Imam I would like to know your perspective on mathematical patterns in the Quran what you have to say about that like how is that humanly possible Imam what a name mathematical pattern in the Quran I think it truly is um it's amazing seeing these patterns um it really feels just it adds to the The Wonder of the

Quran and I I remember seeing a few and where people will say things like how um verses that begin with certain how there is an equal number of day mentioned that is paralleled with an equal number of night in the Quran how Allah will mention this there's a huge there's a mathematical you know like a uh a rhythm to so many uh Salient features within

Quran that it just seems just incomprehensible to have put that together with such design I mean if if somebody did you it would be whoa that is a genius in and of itself that's how uh amazing some of these seem and I remember going through some a while back and you could just go on to YouTube in fact there was a video by um Norman Ali Khan as well once where he was speaking it's an old video what did he call it um I think he called him ring patterns in certain surahs or ring surahs or something and what he meant by that was

that certain verses certain surahs begin with with let's say the first sort of first verse is speaking about God's glory then the last verse speaks about God's glory second verse let's say speaks about Believers the last verse speaks about disbelievers the third verse let's say speaks about the day then the third to last speaks about the night as an example I'm just saying so he he says the themes they kind of mirror each other and that's so spectacular he's going I can't recall which verses which Surah he's going through now I heard it a very long time ago but that I think it

unless it was sort of Mulk or was it but you can I'm sure you can find it on YouTube so these things are definitely just you know jaw-dropping and mesmerizing but I don't feel I think these things add Wonder to our faith in God and to the Quran I don't think these things are the proof for the existence of God because then you see the problem then because I've heard people say in the past that you know this is a proof

that there is a God because otherwise you know this could this is in humanly impossible hmm I I just feel that the problem with such huge claims because when you say that then people you know they will start like they'll say well this book has this in it and it has this in it and I've heard all these things about you know certain other books so you know this kind of rhythmic um Melody that is found in certain books and

certain patterns and mathematical anomalies spring out and so does it make every book that does something like that um proof for a particular God or so I just feel these claims are not um we shouldn't call them we shouldn't go about using them as this is the proof for the existence of God but we should allow ourselves ourselves to Revel in these in and Marvel in the Wonder of the Quran so it it basically

it adds flavor it helps it kind of sprinkles wander on our faith and brings us to life that's what they should be used for not to say well let me argue against an atheist that did you know the letter half appears the most number of times in surakaf I mean the person would just go like and what so I don't think yeah that's my perspective

yeah because also just adding to that there is um the concept of patternicity in Psychology that you see human beings we see patterns especially if we put our mind to something and just as we you know if you stare at Clouds you will see faces in them and you'll see shapes and all of a sudden you can see things and that's a human um tendency to see patterns and project uh familiarity

onto such abstractions like the clouds and things like or even if you are looking for seeking patterns you can often find patterns so just keeping that in mind yeah
