Broadcast Message Via Radio Solaahudin By Ibn Yaqub An-Naijirii Re: Mathematical Miracles of the Quraan aka The Theory of Numbers. The People of Rhetorics are at it again, over the past few days different versions of mathematical miracle ignorantly attributed to the Quraan have been making waves and are now being circulated within and amongst Muslims. A Theory so to speak has been so concocted and now distributed en masse via the Social Media as broadcast messages or Group messages. The Theory of numbers whereby if the last two digits of your year of birth in the Gregorian Calendar(not even the Hijrah Calendar which is unarguably our Identity as Muslims) is subtracted from the total number of Chapters in the Quraan (114) you will correctly arrive at your age according to the Gregorian Calendar. However this obnoxious Theory has failed to address the peculiar case of those given birth to in the 2000s or 1800s. Ikhwan, this is just simple Arithmetic or more precisely Arithmetic Projection which even a good SSS 1 Student will not fail to identify. It is rather unfortunate that in an attempt to convince ourselves to hold firmly to this Deen and possibly invite others we are now people scouting for Miracles by any means possible. While it is good we encourage one another to righteousness and invite those who havent been guided to guidance, caution should be taken not to go extreme and to always attribute to the Quraan what can be attested to by clear texts and authentic narrations to save ourselves from blunders and blasphemies. Ikhwan, we arent miracle seeking people neither are we people of Fantasies. Our Deen is clearly distinguished from others and we must practise it in the most pristine form working with what have been revealed. We hope to beg those spreading such messages to desist and possibly seek forgiveness for this wholesome ignorance to save other gullible muslims from this gross misrepresentation of the Book of Allaah, the Quraan itself is already a miracle, a book revealed in Arabic which even non Arab natives read and have committed into memory , what else do you need! May we take heed, Wa Billaahit Tawfeeq!
