Indivisible

 In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful


The Qur'aan says in Verse 6:159, 'Those indeed who have broken the unity of their Faith, and have become sects, you have nothing to do with them ...'.

From the above, the divine dislike of dividing Islam into sects is obvious! But what is noteworthy is the arithmetical or numerical code used here to give expression to the divine concept of the indivisibility of Islam.

The believers are addressed as يا أيها الذين آمنوا (O you who believe) throughout the Qur'aan for being given necessary instructions on leading a proper life on this earth. And they are so addressed, in all, 89 times therein. 89 is an indivisible prime number!

So, you see, the divine concept of the indivisible Islam is codified here by addressing the believers for a prime number of times - a feat that could only be divine, and not man-made - in the circumstances in which the Qur'aan was revealed, nearly 1500 years ago!

And the Qur'aan is replete with such numerical codes leaving no scope for any doubts about its divinity!!
