H.M. Initial Counts (An Amazing Miracle)

The Quranic initials H.M. ( حم) prefix seven consecutive suras in the Quran. These are, respectively, suras 40 through 46. If we add all the occurrences of these two letters across all seven of these suras, the total we obtain is 2,147, which is 19 x 113.

If we check to see if any other sets of these seven suras also provide an aggregate total that is a multiple of 19, we would first need to determine the total number of possible combinations. We can calculate this using the following equation, which shows 127 unique combinations.

After going through all possible combinations, we see that there are only five sets, including the original set above, that generate a total that is a multiple of 19. These additional sets are the following:

This is not statistically significant as since there are 127 possible combinations, we would expect 127/19, or ~6.68 sets to be a multiple of 19. So, five sets of suras meeting this requirement is well within probability expectations.

What is peculiar is if we add all the digits of the counts of H. ( ح) and M. ( م) in any given sura and then aggregate that total for each of the respective sets, we find that the digits consistently add up to the exact multiplier that makes that entire set a multiple of 19.

No mathematical property dictates that since the set of suras is a multiple of 19, the aggregate total of digits that make up the initial counts for H. ( ح) and M. ( م) should equal the multiplier.

For example, if we decreased the occurrence of H. in Sura 40 by 19 while increasing the occurrence of M. by 19 so that the total stayed the same multiple of 19 for the three sets containing this sura, the digits would no longer add up to the multiplier.

Yet, as seen above, we find that the aggregate total of the individual digits in every set forms the exact multiplier that makes that set a multiple of 19. For this to work out in such a beautiful interlocking way for every set, several factors would need to align for such an outcome.
