Investigation of "Numbers" article in Oliver Lyman's Encyclopedia of the Quran

“Numbers" article, From the Christian Orientalist, Mrs. Afnan H. Fatani, published in Oliver Lyman's Encyclopedia of Qur’an. By referring to verses from the Holy Qur’an, the author tries to obtain the view of the Holy Quran about numbers to some extent and examines the claim of mathematical and numerical miracles in the Qur’an and reflects the wonderful order of the numbers in the Holy Qur’an. The present study examines the strengths and weaknesses of this article in terms of structure and content. Using the proper translation of the Qur'an and documenting the contents to the verses of the Qur'an and referring to the Qur'anic subtle substances are some of the positive points of the article. In contrast, there are structural flaws such as: the lack of study of the word "number “and its meaning  and content flaws such as: the undocumented nature of the material, the incorrect generalization of one view to all Muslims, and the confusion between the amazing numbers of the Qur'an and the miracle of the Qur'an. Also, in this article, we have tried to solve these problems by providing additional materials.
