1 ­ A Day

The word “a day” (yewm) is used 365 times in the Quran. The figure 365 does not only
represent the number of days in the calendar, but it is also the figure that shows the
astronomic relationship between our world and the sun. When our world completes its round
around the sun, it has revolved 365 times around its own axis. In other words, when the
world has completed its cycle around the sun, this means we have lived 365 days on earth.
It is important that the word “one day” has been used 365 times in the Quran, because the
world’s revolution around the sun takes 365 days. The exact number 365 is not accidental!
This word alone is enough to show that there is a conscious order in the Quran. The
dimension of the miracles will be clearer when 50 examples in this section and the section on
the number 19 are carefully examined.
