From the above table we have to demonstrate three amazing conclusions:



Indeed, the example of Jesus in the sight of Allah is like that of Adam. He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be!” And he was!

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

Indeed, the example of Jesus to Allah1 is like that of Adam. He created him from dust; then He said to him, "Be," and he was.

— Saheeh International



The first is that the word Jesus is repeated in the Qur’an 25 times the same as the word Adam.
 The second: number of times the word Adam was mentioned from the beginning of the Qur’an up to this crucial verse is 7 times, and the number of times Jesus was mentioned from the beginning of the Qur’an up to this verse is also 7 times. 
The third: is that the word Adam has been mentioned for the 19th time in the Qur’an and also the word Jesus is mentioned for the 19th time in the chapter with the name Mary [Sûrat Maryam] which is chapter number 19 in the holy Qur’an.

All of these conclusions are considered to be a coincidence or a miracle?


Indeed it is a miracle because Allah Almighty made a challenge to all mankind and jinn by saying:


Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “If ˹all˺ humans and jinn were to come together to produce the equivalent of this Quran, they could not produce its equal, no matter how they supported each other.”

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

Say, "If mankind and the jinn gathered in order to produce the like of this Qur’ān, they could not produce the like of it, even if they were to each other assistants."
