Man and Woman Equal Count | Quran Gender Balance
The words 'man' and 'woman' appear equal times in the Quran—reflecting divine balance between genders.
Did You Know?
Three balanced counts: • Singulars only (24 man, 24 woman) • By verse (25 each) • Semantic roles (23 man, 23 woman) The word 'man' appears 23 times = 23 chromosomes from father. The word 'woman' appears 23 times = 23 chromosomes from mother. Discovered 1955, 1,323 years after the Quran.
And among His signs is that He created for you mates from yourselves
Quran 30:21
Explanation
All three linguistic counting methods produce perfect balance. The semantic role count (23 man, 23 woman) matches human chromosomes exactly: 23 from father, 23 from mother. This wasn't discovered until 1955 by Tjio & Levan.
