4 Dimensions of Quran

The development of research on the Qur'an during the last 100 years continued to show progress. Many discoveries that enrich the repertoire of  Quran sciences. This makes it more interesting to study the Quran. Correlate with quran research, Fahmi Basya Hamdi (Indonesian quran researcher) divine Quran at least in Four Dimensions :
  • 1st Dimension : Writing
           
          

 This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allah (02:2)-
       
The oldest Quran, known as The Ottoman manuscripts, can found in Samarqand, UZBEZKISTAN. Now we can imagine, this is the writing manuscripts there is no doubt within, even to the single letter. Because of  it's no doubt, it allows us to count the number of  letters Qoran, which cannot be if counting only from reading. Thus, the Qur'an can be used as a reliable scientific data, because it has the accuracy of the letter.





The revelation of the Book is from Allah , the Exalted in Might, the Wise. (45:2)

  • 2nd Dimension : Reading
We have been this misperception by this READING. We always thought he was ordinary reading,  but it is a wonderful reading.So, if you have a Qoran at home, never read, it means you have only a first dimension of Quran.


 

Indeed, it is We who have sent down to you, [O Muhammad], the Qur'an progressively. (76:23)

Assuredly We (nahnu reiterates the subject of innā, ‘assuredly, for the purpose of emphasis; alternatively it is a separating pronoun) have revealed the Qur’ān to you as a gradual revelation (tanzīlan is the predicate of inna, ‘assuredly’), in other words, We have divided it into parts instead of not revealing it all at once. 

Based on Quran, this is the reading:

a. Reading which cannot made by Jinn and or Human

 





Say, "If mankind and the jinn gathered in order to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like of it, even if they were to each other assistants."  (17:88)
b. Reading which makes mountains break apart








If We had sent down this Qur'an upon a mountain, you would have seen it humbled and coming apart from fear of Allah . And these examples We present to the people that perhaps they will give thought. (59:21)

 






  • 3rd Dimension : Meaning
A person who receives the message, need to know the meaning of the message. The question is: "How to interpret the meaning of words in the Quran?" Quran itself answer this question with verse:








And they do not come to you with an argument except that We bring you the truth and the best explanation. (25:33)

In the Qur'an described the Meaning of words and The Qur'an describes this way: Make example sentences. For example:

1. NOT PERCEIVE

To know the best meaning of those words, we need to know the story of Solomon and his troops when they came at the Ant Hills, as described in:



 




Until, when they came upon the valley of the ants, an ant said, "O ants, enter your dwellings that you not be crushed by Solomon and his soldiers while they perceive not."
27:18

So if you want to know the meaning of a word in Quran, then you can open the pages and find out the meaning by analyze the word in another verse or Surah. And with Allah permition, you will able to know the meaningful word in one ayah by another ayah. That's way Quran also said by God as the Best explanation.

  • 4th Dimension : Fact
the keyword ---> AYAH = VERSE = CODE

For every happening is a finality; and you are going to know
(6:67)


 

And you will surely know [the truth of] its information after a time."
(38:88)

And there are so many facts in the universe. We will know the information after a time. For example, in 16th century, people didn't know that earth is round. They believe that the earth is flat and as the center of the milky way. But it's abandoned in 19th century after Heliocentris theory prooved by science.

In the Qur'an it is said that the Prophet Zechariah asked for the code have a son, so God gives the CODE.






[Zechariah] said, "My Lord, make for me A CODE." He said, "Your CODE is that you will not speak to the people for three nights, [being] sound." (19:10)

In fact dimensions, verses  as CODE , not writings. We can see again that sign (ayah) mean CODE, from this Quran statement:








We will show them Our CODES in the horizons and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth. But is it not sufficient concerning your Lord that He is, over all things, a Witness? (41:53)
