التوازن العددي في القرآن الكريم دراسة بحثية في تكرار الألفاظ والانسجام الدلالي

Abstract

This study investigates the significance of numbers in the Qur’an and their role in conveying the principles of balance, harmony, and wisdom. By analyzing numerical patterns, repetitions, and symbolic use of numbers in the Qur’anic text, the research explores how these elements function as tools for ethical guidance, spiritual development, and cognitive organization. The study adopts a qualitative, analytical approach, examining selected examples where numerical structures enhance comprehension of divine messages and foster a sense of equilibrium in individual and communal life. It highlights the intricate connection between numerical symbolism and broader moral, social, and cosmic order, revealing that numbers in the Qur’an are not merely quantitative but carry profound qualitative and spiritual meanings. Findings demonstrate that understanding these numerical patterns enables believers to achieve deeper insight into divine guidance, promoting both personal discipline and collective harmony. Furthermore, the research underscores the didactic role of Qur’anic numbers in illustrating universal principles, supporting reflection, and encouraging practical application in daily life. By combining textual exegesis with interpretive analysis, the study provides a unique perspective on how numbers serve as a bridge between revelation and lived experience, offering insights into the Quranic worldview of balance and order.
