A Theory on the Numerical Systematics Between the Verse Counts of the Holy Qur'an and the Elements of the Periodic Table

Abstract

This study presents a theory positing a systematic relationship between the verse counts of the surahs in the Holy Qur'an and the atomic numbers of chemical elements in the periodic table. The methodology is based on matching the verse counts of the surahs (without Basmala, X) and the values obtained by adding one to these counts (with Basmala, Y=X+1) as a sequential system with the atomic numbers in the periodic table. As a result of this matching, it is claimed that surahs with recurrent verse counts (mukarrar) correspond to characteristic points in the periodic table, such as orbital transitions. The study also suggests that there are significant correlations between specific surahs like Yā Sīn, Al-Ḥadīd, and Al-Ḥajj, and particular elements and their physical properties. These findings suggest a previously unexamined structural parallelism between the two systems.

1. Methodology

The fundamental method of this research involves sequencing the 114 surahs of the Holy Qur'an according to their verse counts. Two distinct data sets were created in this process:

• Verse Count without Basmala (X): The original verse count of each surah.

• Verse Count with Basmala (Y): The number obtained by adding one to the original verse count (Y=X+1). This distinction is based on the information that the Basmala was incorporated into the surahs at a later time.

These (X, Y) ordered pairs were systematically compared with the atomic numbers of the elements in the periodic table. In the analysis, the surahs were considered in two main categories:

1. Recurrent Surahs: Surahs that share the same verse count. For example, the surahs Al-Asr, Al-Kawthar, and An-Nasr each have 3 verses, making this verse count "recurrent."

2. Non-Recurrent Surahs: Surahs with a unique verse count not shared by any other surah. For instance, Surah Al-Humazah, with 9 verses, falls into this category.

2. Findings and Observations

2.1. Recurrent Surahs and Orbital Transitions

It was observed that the atomic number transitions corresponding to the verse counts of recurrent surahs align with critical points in the periodic table where new orbitals begin or are completed.

• Commencement of the d-Orbital: The surahs Al-Hujurāt and At-Taghābun, both having 18 verses (recurrent), correspond to the transition from atomic number 18 (Argon) to 19 (Potassium). Potassium (K) is the first element of the 4th period, where the "d" orbital begins. Similarly, the highest recurrent verse count of 111 (Surahs Al-Muzzammil and Al-Jinn) corresponds to the Rg-Cn (111-112) transition, which completes the "d" orbital.

• Commencement of the f-Orbital: The surahs Saba and Fussilat, with 54 verses (recurrent), have been associated with the transition from atomic number 54 (Xenon) to 55 (Caesium). This transition is the point where the "f" orbital begins.

• Commencement of the p-Orbital: The Basmala, the most repeated verse in the Qur'an (114 times), is associated with the Hydrogen-Helium (H-He) transition. Following this transition, the "p" orbital begins in the periodic table. This also shows a parallel with the fact that H-He reactions are the most common nuclear reactions in the universe.

2.2. Correlations Between Specific Surahs and Elements

• Surah Yā Sīn and the Limit of Stability: Surah Yā Sīn, known as "the heart of the Qur'an," with its 83 verses, coincides with the transition from atomic number 83 (Bismuth) to 84 (Polonium). This transition marks the boundary where elements shift from a stable to a radioactive state.

• Surahs Al-Ḥajj and Ar-Raḥmān and the Platinum-Gold Transition: Surahs Al-Ḥajj and Ar-Raḥmān, both having 78 verses, correspond to the elements with atomic numbers 78 (Platinum, Pt) and 79 (Gold, Au). It is presented as a noteworthy finding that verse 23 of Surah Al-Ḥajj mentions bracelets of gold. Furthermore, it is noted that the difference between the verse count of Surah Al-Ḥajj (78) and the relevant verse number (23) is 55 (78-23=55), and the difference for the values including the Basmala (79-24=55) is also 55, which is the atomic number of Caesium (Cs, Z=55), the first element of the 6th period.

• Surah Al-Ḥadīd and the Element Iron: It is stated that in Surah Al-Ḥadīd (Iron), the verse that mentions iron is the 26th verse when counted with the Basmala at the beginning, which corresponds to the atomic number of Iron (Fe), 26.

2.3. Other Observations

• Surah At-Tawbah: It is suggested that the verse count of Surah At-Tawbah, which does not begin with the Basmala, being 129, may correspond to the element with the highest atomic number that can be created within the physical laws of the universe.

• Non-Recurrent Surahs: It is mentioned that surahs with non-recurrent verse counts also exhibit a different characteristic behavior, but this system has not yet been fully deciphered.

3. Conclusion and Evaluation

This theory proposes that there may be a non-coincidental, structural relationship between the verse counts of the Qur'anic surahs and the atomic numbers of the elements in the periodic table. The correspondence of recurrent verse counts to orbital transitions and of specific surahs to chemically and symbolically related elements forms the main pillars of this thesis. It is believed that this preliminary study could serve as a starting point for more advanced and detailed analyses, and that tools such as artificial intelligence could be utilized in this field.
