 Apart from the miraculous characteristics of the Qur'an which we have looked into so far, it also contains what we can term "mathematical miracles." There are many examples of this fascinating Qur'anic aspect. One example of this is the number of repetitions of certain words in the Qur'an. Some related words are surprisingly repeated the same number of times. Below is a list of such words and the number of repetitions in the Qur'an.
The statement of "seven heavens" is repeated seven times.
"The creation of the heavens (khalq as-samawat)" is also repeated seven times.
"Day (yawm)" is repeated 365 times in singular form, while its plural and dual forms "days (ayyam and yawmayn)" together are repeated 30 times.
The number of repetitions of the word "month" (shahar) is 12.
The number of repetitions of the words "plant" and "tree" is the same: 26
The word "payment or reward" is repeated 117 times, while the expression "forgiveness" (mughfirah), which is one of the basic morals of the Qur'an, is repeated exactly twice that amount, 234 times.

 There are coincidences so fraught with significance and so rich in benefits of all kinds for humanity that we should see as signs of mercy from God. It is thus the coincidence of “Al Isra wal mihraj” (The night Journey and ascension of prophet Muhammad PBUH) and the birth date of Serigne Mouhamadou Falilou MBACKE (second Caliph of Sheikh Ahmadou Bamba from 1945 to 1968). Undertaken since four decades ago, the celebration of Serigne Mouhamadou Falilou Mbacke’s birthday, which has been given the name “Kazu Rajab,” has ended up becoming extensively widespread today throughout the Murid world. It overflows largely beyond Touba as well as national borders. For a little that we know about it, we could specify immediately the significance of the term “Kazu Rajab.” It is formed starting from the equivalence of the numerical value of the Arabic characters which are used for writing it: (kaf = 20; za = 7, and 20+7= 27) which brings us to the 27th night of the 7th lunar month of the Muslim calendar (Rajab).

 One of the foods to which attention is drawn in the Qur'an is the olive. Research in recent years has revealed that the olive is not just a delicious food but also represents an important source of good health. In addition to the olive itself, olive oil is also an important source of nutrition. Attention is drawn to the oil of the olive tree in these terms in the Qur'an:
Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The metaphor of His Light is that of a niche in which is a lamp, the lamp inside a glass, the glass like a brilliant star, lit from a blessed tree, an olive, neither of the east nor of the west, its oil all but giving off light even if no fire touches it. Light upon Light. Allah guides to His Light whoever He wills and Allah makes metaphors for mankind and Allah has knowledge of all things. (Qur'an, 24:35)
The expression "mubarakatin zaytoonatin" in the above verse describes the olive as being "plentiful, sacred, auspicious, providing countless blessings." Olive oil, referred to in the term "zaytuha," is known as one of the most highly recommended types of oil by all experts, especially for coronary and arterial health. Its health benefits may be summarised as follows:
