The word for "land" (in contrast to "sea") is often cited as appearing 13 times in the Quran, a number highlighted in discussions about mathematical miracles due to its relation to the 32 mentions of "sea," forming a ratio close to Earth's land/water surface area. Additionally, the people of Lot (disbelievers) are mentioned as appearing 13 times in specific verses.
Some people including unbelievers and Muslims say that the number 13 is a bad or evil number, and some Muslims have found rea- sons to believe this too. One Muslim said that the Jews captured Jerusa- lem from Muslims on Friday the 13 and the general who captured it used 13 armies, thus the number is cursed.
This is also the same ratio as the word “Sea” and the word “Land” appear in the Quran. “Sea” appears 32 times and “Land” 13 times. The ratio of “Sea” to the total (Sea + Land) = 32/(32+13) = 71%. This article originally appeared on TMV on January 11, 2019.
13. The thunder praises His glory, and so do the angels, in awe of Him. And He sends the thunderbolts, striking with them whomever He wills. Yet they argue about God, while He is Tremendous in might.
(13:13) The thunder celebrates His praise and holiness, and the angels, too, celebrate His praise for awe of Him. He hurls thunderbolts, striking with them whom He wills while they are engaged in disputation concerning Allah. He is Mighty in His contriving.
Ayat al-Kursi is regarded as the greatest verse of Quran according to the hadith.
Yes, the crescent moon and star (☪️) is widely recognized as a symbol for Islam, appearing on many national flags and representing the faith, but it's important to know it's not an ancient religious symbol from Islam's origins, but rather became popular through the Ottoman Empire and is rejected as a religious symbol by some Muslims who emphasize its pre-Islamic and political roots.
Quran 47:4 (Surah Muhammad), often called the "Verse of the Sword," instructs believers in battle to strike the necks of disbelievers until subdued, then bind them, and later release them either by grace or ransom until the war ends, explaining this is a test from Allah, who could have won without them, and assures that martyrs in His cause have their deeds preserved.
Surah al-Hajj has 14 unique words used only once in the whole of the Qur'an [only exception is the last word 'fly' which was used twice - but in the same Ayat] 22:2 تَذْهَلُ Tadhahulu [will forget] 22:9 عِطْفِهِ Itfihi [his neck] 22:17 وَالْمَجُوسَ al-Majoos [the Magians] 22:21 مَقَامِعُ Maqami [hooked rods] 22:27 ...
🙏 For centuries, Muslims have used 786 as a symbol of divine blessing, protection, and positivity in daily life. 📿 From the first word you write on paper to the way you begin an important task — this number is a reminder to start with Allah's name.
In Judaism, 3 and 7 are both considered perfect numbers; for the Christians, 7 is a holy number because of the Genesis, and also 3 for the trinity. For Muslims, 786 is sacred because the Arabic letters of the opening phrase of the Quran add up to the numerical value of 786.
Ar-Ra'd, (Arabic: الرعد ar-raʻd), or the Thunder, is the 13th chapter (sūrah) of the Qur'an, composed of 43 verses (āyāt).
Within this sphere, every color bears its distinct symbolism and significance, imbuing individuals' attire with depth and meaning. The top 5 colors of Islam are White, Black, Green, Blue, and Golden.

Islam: In Islam, the 8-pointed star is called the Khatim Sulayman or Seal of Solomon, and is associated with the biblical King Solomon, who is considered a prophet in Islam. The star is also believed to represent the unity of the seven days of the week with the day of rest, which is Friday in Islamic tradition.
For example, in order to show that Muhammad was the anti-Christ, it was asserted that Muhammad died not in the year 632 but in the year 666. In another variation on the theme the number "666" was also used to represent the period of time Muslims would hold sway of the land.
Muslims believe that the Qur'an, the holy book of Islam, was revealed to Muhammad over a period of twenty-three years, starting with the initial revelation at Mount Hira. After the Prophet's death, his successors compiled these divine revelations in a manuscript.
