Assalamu Alaykum all,
Not sure if you have all ever heard of this before, maybe I am late to the game, but I just learned of the Golden Ratio number in the Qur'an. Have you ever heard of this before?
This is the gist: The Golden Ratio is the number: 1.61803398...
this number is found all over nature and plays into the aesthetic aspects of beauty, from our faces and arm length, to the flowers and fresh pines we love to smell, all is aesthetically and mathematically placed as such.
Onto the Qur'an which contains a total of 114 Surahs of varying lengths. Well if you add the Surah number like Al-Fatiah (1) and the number of verses in the surah (7) you will get: 1 + 7 =8. 8 is the Surah Value. If you do this will all Surahs you will notice that some numbers repeat and some numbers do not.
Now, place all of the Surah values in an excel sheet and separate them in two columns, the ones with two or more of the same value and the ones with only one unique value. Now add all the numbers in each column.
You will get 7906 with the same value, and 4885 with a unique value. Do the math: 7906/4885=1.61842375...
This is an incredibly accurate book, not only morally, logically, linguistically, and practically, but also mathematically. Subhan'Allah.
I have copied here the Excel table I used to confirm these calculations. I urge others to do the same.

Again, I did not discover this, I am just passing along the information.
"And if you tried to count the favors of God , you could not enumerate them. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful." - 16:18 Golden Ratio Verse, as the Golden Ratio number is infinite; it can never be counted completely.
