The product of the number of surahs whose names contain the letter "Ta" and the number of surahs that begin with the letter "Ta" is ( )7 × 4 = 28; and this number is the same as the number of repetitions of the letter "Ta" in Surah Taha. ( ) Surah Taha heads the seven surahs whose names contain the letter "Ta"; ( ) ( ) and it also heads the four surahs whose verses begin with the letter "Ta". ( ) ( ) ( ) C. Surah Taha is the only surah in the Quran whose name and verses begin with the letter "Ta". ( ) From all of the above, it is clear that the letter "Ta" present at the beginning of the name and verses of Surah Taha has a special characteristic over the other letters present in the Quran; and the secret of this letter's distinction over others is its centrality to the number of repetitions of the letter "Ta" in the Quran; meaning it occupies the 637th rank in the ranking of this letter from the beginning of the Quran to its end. Before it are 636 "Ta"s and after it are 636 "Ta"s. Therefore, the 636 "Ta"s that are before the distinguished letter "Ta" will be among the nineteen surahs (19) that precede Surah Taha. As for the 636 "Ta"s that are after the distinguished letter "Ta", they will be among the remaining ninety-five surahs (95); meaning (19) × (5). Glory be to Him who made one letter like "Ta" as proof of the greatness of this book and that it was revealed by the Creator of the earth and the heavens, without doubt.

The Sixth Wonder: ▪ Whoever peruses the Book of Allah Almighty will know the following: 1. The number of surahs that begin with one or more of the disconnected letters is: 29 surahs.
