Regarding: PI ~= 335/113 On PI day (3.14) a french lady emailed me a gift that further to my Quran and Prime Numbers reseach, the 355 days in a Hijri leap year divided by the chapters of The Message (113 chapters) is a very close approximation to PI. PI ~= days in a year cycle (circumference) divide by the number of chapters of the message (stright path, diameter) Here is a summary for all your readers about the prime numbers in the Quran. Quran = Key + Message 114 chapters = 1 (Al-Fatiha) + 113 (Remaining chapters) 6236 verses = 7 of The Key + 6229 of The Message The Key has 7 verses, 29 words, 139 letters) all are primes, with prime digit sums (7=7, 2+9=11, 1+3+9=13) and amazingly concatnating them left-to-right (729139) and right-to-left (139297) also primes with primes digit sums (7+2+9+1+3+9=31) The rest can be found at www.heliwave.com pr www.primalogy.com.

Grate article and will look out for other article by you.

Regarding: PI ~= 335/113

On PI day (3.14) a french lady emailed me a gift that further to my Quran and Prime Numbers reseach, the 355 days in a Hijri leap year divided by the chapters of The Message (113 chapters) is a very close approximation to PI.

PI ~= days in a year cycle (circumference) divide by the number of chapters of the message (stright path, diameter)

Here is a summary for all your readers about the prime numbers in the Quran.

Quran = Key + Message
114 chapters = 1 (Al-Fatiha) + 113 (Remaining chapters)
6236 verses = 7 of The Key + 6229 of The Message

The Key has 7 verses, 29 words, 139 letters) all are primes, with prime digit sums (7=7, 2+9=11, 1+3+9=13) and amazingly concatnating them left-to-right (729139) and right-to-left (139297) also primes with primes digit sums (7+2+9+1+3+9=31)

The rest can be found at http://www.heliwave.com pr http://www.primalogy.com.

Make sure not to miss the 355 days of chapter The Merciful that map to the leap Hijri year 1433AH = 2012 :)

I suspect the Hijir year becomes leap evey PI years :) a “PI in the Sky” if you like :)
