NuN
(Noon)
(N.
in Arabic appears in four different shapes)
Nun
Wow
Noon
![]()
This
initial is unique; it occurs in one chapter, 68, and the name of the letter
is spelled out as three letters - Noon Wow Noon
-
in the original text, and is therefore counted as two N's
(
-
).
The
total count of this letter in the N-initialed chapter is 133,or 19x7.
The fact that "Nun" is the last Quranic Initial, brings out a number of special
observations. Example, the number of verses from the first Quranic Initial (Alef.
Laam. Mim.
of
2:1), to the last initial (Nun)
of
(68:1) is 5263, or 19x277.
The word "God" (Allah)
occurs
2698 times (19x142) in the whole of the Quran, however the word "God" occurs
2641 times (19x139) between the first initialed chapter and the last initialed
chapter. Since the total occurrence of the word "God" is 2698, it follows that
its occurrence outside the initials "Alef. Laam. Mim.".........
of
2:1 on one side, and the initial "Nun"
of
68:1 on the other side, is 57, or 19x3.
