LEXICAL CONCORDANCE










The Dictionary of The Quran is used to study the pattern of the distribution of the words written in the Quran. The dictionary is "al-Mu'jam al-Mafharis Lil Lafzul al-Quran".



In this dictionary of The Quran, every word written in the Quran is listed here. For every word, the number it appear in the Quran is wtitten down just below the particular word. For example, look at the Arabic word of Al-Yaum and Yauma. Both of these word are in the singular form meaning the day and day. Look at both words scanned from the dictionary.




The Word Day In Singular Form

The word al-yaum (the day) appears in the Quran for 349 and the word yauma (in the singular form) which mean day appear in the Quran 16 times. This means that the word day in the singular form appear (349+16) times in the Quran. Is it just coincidence that the number of days in a solar year is 365 days. The red colored word is the Arabic word and the number of times it appear in the Quran is shown by the little numbers below it.





















The Word Month

The word as-Sahru (the month in singular form) appears in the Quran 10 times and the word sahroo (month) appears 2 times in the Quran.















Observe the words as-sahruu (the month) which appear in the Quran 10 times and the sahroon (month) appear in the Quran 2 times. Both words are in the singular form. Is it just a mere coincidence that the word month in the singular form appear 12 times an
d the number of months in a year is 12 month?
The Word Sanah and Sineen

The word sanah year but this in singular form and the plural form is sineen. The word sanah appears in the Quran seven times while the word sineen appears 12 times.

The significance of the word sanah being used seven times and sineen being used 12 times in the Quran may be associated with what is called the Metonic Cycle. 19 tropical years is almost exactly equal to 235 synodic months, and rounded to full days counts 6940 days. The difference between the two periods (of 19 tropical years and 235 synodic months) is only 2 hours. To understand further, please read wikipedia linked to this blog.


The Word Sabbath

Sabbath is the rest day according to the Christian and Jewish tradition. Since god rested after creating the universe for six days, so man should also rest on the 7th day of the week. The Quran uses the word sabbath in reference to the Jew. The word sabt and it derivatives appears in the Quran seven times! what a coincidence.!




There many more words which are related to each other. For example the word Life In This World " Ad-Dunya" is the pair of the life in "The hereafyer al-Akheerat". These two words Occasionally appear in the same verse and occassionally in different verses. The word Ad-Dunya appears 115 times in the Quran and the word Al-Akheeraat appear 115 times.
