QUR'AN

 

Excellent question — you're pointing at something deeply important: the relationship between oral transmission, precision, and structure in a massive text like the Qur'an.

Let’s take your analogy and answer it clearly.

---

🔹 Short Answer:

Yes, it's theoretically possible, but extremely unlikely without intentional planning — especially in an oral tradition and without written editing tools.

---

🔹 Let’s Break It Down:

Imagine someone orally composes a book over 23 years, with:

• 77,439 words
• No computers, no word count tools
• No visible, final draft in front of them
• Different contexts (war, peace, public, private)
• Multiple listeners and memorizers

And somewhere in the book they say:

“Apple is like pineapple,”
and the words "apple" and "pineapple" each appear exactly 25 times throughout the whole book.

This would not happen by chance. Why?

---

🔹 Why Is It Highly Unlikely?

1. Human memory is fallible
   In long texts, people repeat words unevenly, unless they're counting or editing.

2. Spontaneous speech is not structured
   When people speak over time, their word usage fluctuates. You would not naturally repeat two different words exactly the same number of times unless you tracked them intentionally.

3. Oral composition over 23 years
   The longer the time period, the harder it becomes to preserve symmetry, unless there's a hidden structure or divine oversight (as Muslims believe).

4. No editing phase
   Unlike authors who write and revise their books, the Qur'an was recited as-is, not revised or reworded. So planning the counts is even harder.

🔹 Statistical Analogy

If we modeled this randomly (like a person speaking naturally over 77,000 words), the chance of two selected words each appearing exactly 25 times — and those two words also being compared in one sentence — would be very low unless it was designed that way.

It's similar to flipping a coin 77,000 times and getting a specific sequence of patterns on purpose — it's not natural without a system.

---

🔹 The Qur’an Case

In the Qur’an:

• It says: “The example of Isa is like that of Adam.” (3:59)
• Then we discover: "Isa" = 25 times, "Adam" = 25 times

This is not just an analogy — it’s also reflected in the structure of the book itself.

That’s why many scholars (even non-Muslims) find the Qur’an astonishing in its construction, even if they don’t accept it as divine.

✅ Conclusion

So, in your analogy:

“Is it possible to orally recite a book with 77,000+ words, and it says ‘apple is like pineapple,’ and both appear 25 times?”

➡️ Possible? Yes. ➡️ By chance? Extremely unlikely. ➡️ Without tools or revision? Practically impossible unless intentionally structured.

And that’s why Muslims see the Qur’an as a miraculous text, not just in message but also in form.

Would you like me to show other examples of word balances in the Qur’an, like "life" and "death" or "angel" and "devil"?
