Quran a mathematical approach

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
MashAllah, It was very informative and insightful I couldn't help but to share it with you all. It's a mathematical approach on discussing the divine guidance of Allah Azawajal. May Allah reward them greatly in this life and the hereafter. Ameen Ya Rab.


**Salam. What I had to say was tell them this, they want an explanation from science to prove their theory, right. Tell them about the Probability. In mathematics there is a theory known as ‘Theory of Probability’. If you have two options, out of which one is right, and one is wrong, the chances that you will chose the right one is half, i.e. one out of the two will be correct. You have 50% chances of being correct. Similarly if you toss a coin the chances that your guess will be correct is 50% (1 out of 2) i.e. 1/2. If you toss a coin the second time, the chances that you will be correct in the second toss is again 50% i.e. half. But the chances that you will be correct in both the tosses is half multiplied by half (1/2 x 1/2) which is equal to 1/4 i.e. 50% of 50% which is equal to 25%. If you toss a coin the third time, chances that you will be correct all three times is (1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2) that is 1/8 or 50% of 50% of 50% that is 12½%. A dice has got six sides. If you throw a dice and guess any number between 1 to 6, the chances that your guess will be correct is 1/6. If you throw the dice the second time, the chances that your guess will be correct in both the throws is (1/6 x 1/6) which is equal to 1/36. If you throw the dice the third time, the chances that all your three guesses are correct is (1/6 x 1/6 x 1/6) is equal to 1/216 that is less than 0.5 %.

Let us apply this theory of probability to the Qur’an, and assume that a person has guessed all the information that is mentioned in the Qur’an which was unknown at that time. Let us discuss the probability of all the guesses being simultaneously correct. At the time when the Qur’an was revealed, people thought the world was flat, there are several other options for the shape of the earth. It could be triangular, it could be quadrangular, pentagonal, hexagonal, heptagonal, octagonal, spherical, etc. Lets assume there are about 30 different options for the shape of the earth. The Qur’an rightly says it is spherical, if it was a guess the chances of the guess being correct is 1/30.

The light of the moon can be its own light or a reflected light. The Qur’an rightly says it is a reflected light. If it is a guess, the chances that it will be correct is 1/2 and the probability that both the guesses i.e the earth is spherical and the light of the moon is reflected light is 1/30 x 1/2 = 1/60. Further, the Qur’an also mentions every living thing is made of water. Every living thing can be made up of either wood, stone, copper, aluminum, steel, silver, gold, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, oil, water, cement, concrete, etc. The options are say about 10,000. The Qur’an rightly says that everything is made up of water. If it is a guess, the chances that it will be correct is 1/10,000 and the probability of all the three guesses i.e. the earth is spherical, light of moon is reflected light and everything is created from water being correct is 1/30 x 1/2 x 1/10,000 = 1/60,000 which is equal to about .0017%.

The Qur’an speaks about hundreds of things that were not known to men at the time of its revelation. Only in three options the result is .0017%. I leave it upto you, to work out the probability if all the hundreds of the unknown facts were guesses, the chances of all of them being correct guesses simultaneously and there being not a single wrong guess. It is beyond human capacity to make all correct guesses without a single mistake, which itself is sufficient to prove to a logical person that the origin of the Qur’an is Divine.**

A sin that leads to Jennah!!

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah) said: "Sin may be more beneficial for a person, if it leads him to repent, than doing a lot of acts of worship. This is what is meant by the words of one of the salaf:

'A person may commit a sin and enter Paradise because of it, or he may do an act of worship and enter Hell because of it.'

They said: 'How is that?'

He said: 'He may commit a sin and continues to think about it, and when he stands or sits or walks he remembers his sin, so he feels ashamed and repents and seeks forgiveness and regrets it, so that will be the means of his salvation.

And he may do a good deed and continue to think about it, and when he stands or sits or walks he remembers it and it fills him with self-admiration and pride, so it is the cause of his doom.

So the sin may be the factor that leads him to do acts of worship and good deeds and to change his attitude so that he fears Allah and feels shy before Him and feels humiliated before Him, hanging his head in shame and weeping with regret, seeking the forgiveness of his Lord. Each of these effects is better for a person than an act of worship that makes him feel proud and show off and look down on people. Undoubtedly this sin is better before Allah and is more likely to bring salvation than one who admires himself and looks down on others, and who thinks that he is doing Allah a favour. Even if he says words that indicate something other than that, Allah is the Witness over what is in his heart. Such a person may feel hatred towards people if they do not hold him in high esteem and humiliate themselves before him. If he were to examine himself honestly, he would see that clearly."
-Madarij as-Salikeen, 1/299


{Disclaimer}The statements above are not an encouragement for you to go out and commit sins. We should try our best to stay away from sins as much as possible and to ask Allah to protect us from the Shaytan. Even though Allah forgives if asked sincerely and having fulfilled the conditions of forgiveness, Insha'Allah, but this is no reason to commit sins intentionally.
Allah knows best.

Finding pearls in the ocean

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
I love when I'm talking to someone and the intellectual chemistry is just flowing. When you guys build off each other and start thinking on levels you didn't even know you could reach. It's mind stimulating and gives you a rush of energy. And after that conversation is over you think of all the gems you have learned. The excitement of taking in their message and you're fortunate that they revealed it to you. Alhamdulilah. You're overwhelmed with gratitude and wish every conversation could be like that.
The rareness of those moments are like finding pearls in the ocean. Than on the opposite side of the spectrum you have those times you're talking to someone and spilling out your beads of knowledge. You're waiting eagerly and anticipating for them to do the same. But to your dismay they don't contribute or tell you anything worth knowing. As the optimist I am, I would say you refreshed your memory and inshAllah gave that person something to think about. Its all about passing on that knowledge.
I look at people and wonder what kind of incredible information do they know? And what kind of conversations will trigger that person to open up and reveal their gems to me? Surely people don't spew out knowledge you want to know. You have to be patient and be willing to give some of your pearls before such a miraculous phenomenon happens. It's a give and take kind of thing. The path of knowledge unites and connects the hearts of the believers. What a great blessing, Alhamdulilah. On blog-land you guy's are constantly posting notes that are very beneficial and inspiring. I enjoy reading them and I can't thank you all enough for sharing your pearls of knowledge with me! I love you all for the Sake of Allah.

I am a seeker of truth and the best form of Haq. The kind that awakens the very essence of your being. It brings life to your soul and enlightens your path to Jennah. It's the piece of the puzzle that leads success.
