Points to Ponder !!!!

  1. Surah Tauba
  2. Enigmatic Eight
  3. Am I a Muslim

Enigmatic  Eight

Take a square tile of any size, say one foot by one foot ( 1’´1’ ) : -

Now surround this tile with tiles of the same size and you will need eight more tiles thus :

1

2

3

8

 

4

7

6

5

Surround these nine ( 1+8 ) tiles with tiles of the same size and you will need 16 tiles—that is eight more tiles than the previous one :-

1

2

3

4

5

16

In the next step you will need 24 tiles  -- that is eight more than the previous one and this will go on till infinity as the next number of tiles will be eight more than the previous one.
Is there any mathematical secret in this ? Unfortunately I failed in mathematics in my matric exam otherwise I could have probed the matter further.
Is there any gravitational secret involved in this ? Is it possible or likely that Hazrat Suleman ( Peace Be Upon Him ) and Pharaoh had access to this secret by dint of which they both were great builders and could lift blocks of stones weighing 40 tons to great heights ?  I am not sure and request you to probe the matter further. 
It would be pertinent to point out here that you can approach the centre of a square from 8 ( eight ) sides. The four corners and the four sides.

And, finally, the following Ayaat may kindly be kept n mind :

“ AND THE ANGELS WILL BE ON IT’S SIDES, AND “EIGHT”  WILL

THAT DAY, BEAR THE THRONE OF THY LORD ABOVE THEM.”

( Haqqa : 69/17)

May ALLAH be your guide in unravelling this enigma.  Aameen

Surah Tauba:

 There are 114 Suras in the Holy Quran. Sura Tauba is the only
 exception which does not have the appendage of
 "Bismillah-hir-Rahman-ar-Raheem" which is affixed to all of the
 remaining 113 Suras.

 Have you ever wondered why it is so?

 It is generally believed that Sura Tauba forms a part of the previous
 Sura and a continuation of the same. Had it been so, it would have
 been attached to it and not treated as a separate Sura. The Author of
 the Holy Quran is fully aware of WHY He is doing WHAT!

 You will recall there is an Ayaat which reads: "We have, without
 doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from
 corruption)." (Hijr:15/9).
(note: Ayaat is number 9)

 Had Allah not taken the responsibility of guarding this Message, the
 perpetual mischief-mongers, that is the Children of Israel, would
 have played havoc with this Holy Book like they did to the Taurat and
 Injeel. In order to check-mate them there are many safety-valves in
the Book which ensures its protection from corruption. The reason for
 the absence of Bismillah in Sura Tauba is one such valve. Please see
 for yourself:-

 There is only 1 (ONE) Sura (Tauba) without the appendage Bismillah.
 This Sura is No:9 (NINE). Now 1 and 9 read together is 19 (NINETEEN)
 and if 1 (one) and 9 (nine) are added it makes 10 (TEN). The Sura
 Tauba appears in Sipara (or Juzz) No:10. Is it just plain chance or
 some Divine Plan?

 Now taking Sura Tauba as No:1, you count downwards until you come to
 No:19 which happens to be Sura No:27 (Namal) and missing Bismillah is
 found there (XXVII-30). And interestingly 2 and 7 added together makes
 9 (NINE). More interestingly Sura Namal is in Sipara (or Juzz) No:19.

 So we have two Siparas No:10 and No:19. These two Siparas added
 together (10+19) equals to 29. And sure enough in this Sipara, in
 Sura No:74 (Muddaththir) Ayaat No:30 very clearly states: "OVER IT ARE
 NINETEEN". And incidentally this also happens to be Ayaat No:30 and
 the missing Bismnillah was also in Ayaat No:30 in Sura Namal mentioned
 above.

And, fantastically, you count Ayaat No:30 of Sura Namal as 1 (one) and
count nineteen (19) backwards and you will get the figure 9 (NINE)
in Ayaat No:12 "(these are) among the NINE signs (thou wilt take) to Pharaoh". Again, counting Ayaat No:30 as 1 (one) you count 19 forwards until you come to Ayaat No:48 and you will again get the figure 9
(NINE):
"There were in the city NINE men of a family."
If anybody adds or subtracts a single letter, word or sentence, the balance of the Book will be disturbed.

 Is there any other book in the world which guards itself so
 beautifully?

 Should we not devote our life to this Great Book? I leave the answer
 to you with a request to remember me in your prayers.
