اِنَّا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقْنَاهُ بِقَدَرٍ
"Indeed, We have created everything by measure."
— Kamer 54:49
This page gathers the numbers that occur in the text and shows what each is said of. It draws no pattern from counting letters or words.
THE NUMBERS IN THE TEXT
Numbers in the Qur'an
Six days, seven heavens, twelve springs, three hundred and nine years, fifty thousand years
MAGNITUDE AXIS
The axis runs from one to a hundred thousand, ordered from small to large. The criterion is this: numbers given in the wording, plus totals the verse states explicitly. Items tied to the same number stack up, which makes the recurring numbers visible. Tap a point to open its verse. The slots are evenly spaced, so the distance between them shows order and not proportion.
The axis carries 0 items. On a narrow screen the axis scrolls sideways. The forty of Q 7:142, the ten of Q 2:196 and the eight of Q 6:143 are on it, because the verse states the total itself. The three hundred plus nine of Q 18:25, the subtraction at Q 29:14 and the multiplication at Q 2:261 stay off it. Fractions, distributive patterns and grammatical forms hold no single quantity point either; they stand in full in the groups below.
