Abstract

There is no doubt that the Holy Qur an is the words of Allah that is unchangeable. The most accurate in its verses and words, prodigious in its rules, letters and arrangements that cannot be moved forward or backward, no deletions or additions on it. No falsehood can approach it from before or behind it. It is sent down by One Full of Wisdom, worthy of all Praise. Perhaps this paper, can be seen as a great sea of knowledge. This paper highlights the importance of serving the Holy Book whose endless wonders and knowledge are not enough to create a satisfaction to the scientists. However, there are many earlier works before this work that have addressed this matter by former scholars who inspired us by their work. We have classified these statistics based on the general statistics of the Qur-an, followed by the revelation order and comparison with the order of the Suras in the Holy Qur-an. Moreover, the places of prostration are referred to in the Holy Qur-an and the most frequent names of Allah in the Holy book. This study also includes the statistics of the verses in the Holy Qur-an and the longest and shortest verses in terms of the number of letters and the number of words. This paper includes the roots of the Quranic words and the most frequently mentioned words. The calculations of the letters in the book of Allah, their frequencies and the ratio of the number of letters to the words of the Qur-an as well as the ratio of the number of letters to the verses of the Quran. The computer was used for the collection and initial classification of the Quranic databases processes.
