This is a brief summary of my journey to uncovering a miracle of the Qur’an by using Google Earth. The process was exciting and I thought to share it to create more awareness of the research done to unravel some of the Quran’s hidden wonders such as its harmonious mathematical and literary symmetry. Links to some of this research can be found in QBP’s website: https://quranblueprints.wordpress.com/math/

It all began when I came across the Google earth image above which shows how C2V125 of the Quran corresponds to the earth’s coordinates of the Pilgrimage Site and the Kaaba. I decided to do a little investigating using Google Earth myself and below are the screenshots of my findings.

It was exciting for me to see how the ‘latitude’ coordinates matched up with C2V125 but I was a bit uneasy as to why the ‘longitude’ coordinates were ignored. I tried googling for more information to harmonise the ‘longitude’ coordinates with the ‘latitude’ findings but disappointingly drew blanks.

If there’s one thing I learnt spending time looking into and verifying mathematical miracles in the Quran is that one of the key rules is consistency in the methods. All too often, skeptics accuse Muslim researchers of manufacturing miracles by picking and choosing what fits and ignoring what doesn’t fit into their already predisposed notion of the Quran being the miraculous word of God. The skeptic may even draw parallels with the Texas Sharp Shooter Fallacy. However, where the cynics usually fall short is that they dont realise that Arabic is a different language from English and has its own rules. An example of Muslim researchers being consistent in their methods is how when they contrast ‘Repeating Quranic words’ (example Word X Count = Word Y Count) in the Quran, they use the same method/grammar forms to count both sides..

What struck me about this particular phenomenon was it didn’t require any knowledge in Arabic Grammar to verify. Arguably, whilst in this case the fact that the ‘latitude’ coordinates corresponded with the Quranic verse was by itself impressive, I could not help thinking that it would be more impressive if both the ‘latitude’ and ‘longitude’ coordinates were involved in the miracle. So I decided to apply the formula that was used to uncover the miracle in the ‘latitude’ coordinates to the ‘longitude’ coordinates as well to see where that would lead me.

On further researching the coordinates, I realised that my coordinates were in DMS format and that there were 2 other possible formats; DDM and DD. So it made sense to convert my DMS values to DDM and DD and see where that led me.

The DDM values matched the DMS values. However, the DD values were different, so it was only consistent that I applied the same method to DD that I had applied to DMS and the patterns I came up with astonised me.

Not only did I get a new verse; C2V142 with the other ‘latitude’ format which also corresponded to the Kaaba – the Qiblah Muslims worldwide face for their prayers,

I was also able to narrow down using a system of exclusion a starting point of C3V96 and saw that both C3V96 – 97 corresponded to the ‘longitude’ cordinates as well.

To me it was like starting out with 1 miraculous finding C2V125 and adding on 2 more miracles findings C2V142 and C3V96-97 to further strengthen the claim.

You may be wondering why I included C3V97 as well. I saw that both C2V125 and C3V97 talked not only about the House of Pilgrimage but also the standing place of Ibrahim (alaihi wa sallam). It made sense that the Maqam (standing place) of Ibrahim was also somehow involved in the miracle

Further, since the ‘DMS latitude’ format had included the number of Arabic words in C2V125 which were 22 words. I decided it was important to be consistent and assess if this was the case for 3:96-97 as well where the DMS longitude was concerned.

I then entered in the coordinates in 2 possible ways and was shocked by the results, which you can see for yourself below. I decided to harmonise both findings into 2 conclusions:

1. the ‘DMS latitude’ coordinates show the Pilgrimage Site and the Kaaba

2. the ‘DMS longitude’ coordinates show the Pilgrimage Site and the Maqam Ibrahim

What is exciting is only the verses 96 and 97 together come to 35 words. Verses 94, 95, 98, 99 do not come to 35 words irrespective of the order you take them in, as well as whether you take a few or all of these verses you will not get 35 words. So this is another argument in favor of why only using the verses 96 and 97 will give you the coordinates of Maqam Ibrahim.
