Salaam.


In chapter Al-Rahman,  No. 55, which is composed of 78 verses,
there is a verse that is numerically distinguished between the verses of the  Qur'an, it is the verse " فباى ءالاء ربكما تكذبان"( So which of the favors of your Lord will you deny? )

- This verse is repeated in chapter Al-Rahman 31 times.
- The first time  this verse is mentioned is in verse 13, reverse of 31.
- The last time  this verse is mentioned is in verse 77, before the end of the   chapiter with one verse.
In this position , together with  verse 13, it constitutes another confirmation of number 13. The total number of verses before  verse 13, and after verse 77 is 13 (12 + 1).

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ........... 77 78


- The last verse  number is  78, similar to the sum of the  numbers of the 12 verses  preceding verse 13.
78 =  (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 ... + 12)
78 = 13 x 6.

- The number of verses of the Qur'an from the Basmalah (the first verse in the Qur'an) to verse 13 in chapter Al-Rahman is 4914.
4914 = 13 ? 378.

- The word "Allah" is not mentioned in chapter Al-Rahman
The number of times the  word "Allah" is mentioned  previous chapter Al-Rahman is 2418 .
2418 = 78 ? 31.
78 is the number of verses of chapter al-Rahman.
31 is the number of times the verse  " فباى ءالاء ربكما تكذبان"( So which of the favors of your Lord will you deny? )
is repeated.

Salaam,


Chapiter 55  Al-Rahman has 78 verses.

The verse :

So which of the favors of your Lord will you deny?

فباي الا ربكما تكذبان

is repeated 31 times.
Hence the number of remaining verses in this chapter is 47 verses.

Verse number 47 is the middle verse of the 31 repeated verses,  that means that it is in the 16 th position.

13 16 18 21 23 25 28 30 32 34 36 38  40 42 45 47 49 51 53 55 57 59 61 63 65 67 69 71 73 75 77

The sum of the verses preceding the middle verse is  441 = 63 ? 7

The sum of the verses after the middle verse is  945 = 63 ? 1

Why 63 ?

63 =  47+16     47  is the number of the middle verse  and 16 is its position in the 31 verses.

--------

It seems that verse number 47 serves 3 purposes:

First: verse number 47 is preceded by 31 non repeated verses.

Second: verse number 47 is the middle verse of the 31 repeated verses.

Third: verse number 47 is followed by 31 verses to the end of this chapter (15 repeated verses and 16 non repeated verses).


1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24

25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46

47

48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63

64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77  78

--------

What is interesting to observe, is the Quran not mentionig the repeated verse until verse 13 .
And also the  repetition seeming irregular before verse 47.
And after verse 47 the verse is repeated with regularity ; one - one in the odd verse numbers

-------


An other reference to 31:

the first verse has 6 letters:
الرحمن

ا ل  ر ح  م  ن

55:1 The Gracious
---
and the last verse has 25 letters
تبرك اسم ربك ذي الجلل والاكرام

ت ب رك اس م رب ك ذي ا ل ج ل ل وا ل ا ك  ر ا م


55:78 Glorified be the name of your Lord, Possessor of Majesty and Honor.

Peace,
Alhamdulillah rabilalamin.

Little Correction:  "The sum of the verses after the middle verse is  945 = 63 ? 1"   It should be 63 x 15.
