Coincidence occasion with numbers?
-
Salamun Alaikum,
Since I became Qur'an alone follower, mostly since the past 1-2years, I've encountered numerous occasion where it was like my instinct told me to look at the numbers around me.
Most of the time it was the number of mileage in my cars (in the dashboard), and time in my mobile if I don't drive, sometime clock in the wall in rare occasion, there must be other number in other place that I forgot where, but mostly number in the car total-mileage/distance-counter and mobile phone time.It mostly occurs when I faced some challenge at work and asked God for the sign, or just thinking about God or religion matter that puzzled me and I seek confirmation to strengthen me, then suddenly instinct told me to look at the number, it shows something like
- exact 170000 (car mileage) (with its last exact 0 which count per hundred meter, so if I drove 100 meter more it becomes 1)
- 777 or 444 or 111, or some same numbers in distance counter (in KM)
- There are occasion where I bet with my brother that the discount counter will be reset to 000 when we arrived at home (just my instinct told me), it was about 970 (KM) something, and when we arrived at the gate of my home it was indeed 000 (it will be 000 again after reaching 999 max.), my brother doesn't seems so impressed because he thought I rigged the number.
- My mobile phone time shows exact hour when I observed like 1000, 000 or 111 etc.
- My wife confirmed the number phenomenon but most of the time she wasn't too surprise either
But there are also many other occasion where it just meaningless numbers or times.
Most of the time I also can't really confirm the numbers phenomenon should be the sign/answer that I asked from God, but it is indeed strengthening me many times. I.e when I felt in dismay or hopeless about the work or religious matter, after looking at the number I got the energy or becomes hopeful.
Anyhow those coincidence is too hard to ignore for me to be just random occasion, because it doesn't seem random at all.
I just kept it for myself before, anyhow now I told these because I want to know if any other friends that faced the same or similar things?Also I have no idea to react, because I'm afraid this might not sign from God, it is just pure random, or evil interfered, or it is indeed the sign from God and I dont appreciate that? I frankly have no idea what to view in these.
Please kindly express your thought on this.
Sorry for my bad English.
Thank you!

You are not alone in this type of co-incidence ).
People make up different theories about this type of phenomenon.

Peace,
Numbers can be subtle way of God to show a sign, but if it is rendered an obsession there is more risk that Satan is abusing it and your idolatry of numerology. God does not have to deal in numbers to communicate with you.

Not saying this is the case with you but I think a lot of people see certain numbers because they look out for them.
For instance my favourite number is 86 for some reason, so I see it a lot, but I also see lots of other numbers everyday that don't stand out to me because they don't have a meaning to me.

I agree that God do not have to communicate in numbers, as in Qur'an giving examples that God spoke through inspiration.
Anyhow I still can't really conclude since there is an ayah also mentioned about signs for the believers. And I forgot the ayah already and not sure if this coincidence means the signs too?
And I try to rid away from obsession, as it is Satan's tool.
I might try to note down how often this incidence occurs, just for the mathematical and statistical purpose, see what I got later D

Salaam,
I once also was overly focused on numbers, even though never completely obsessed, but I really urge people to tone down on that because it is a trap. God may show that The Master was the cause of some good through a subtle way as the show of a number, but it should not be the foundation of faith. With faith you are confident that your prayers will be answered, numbers or not.
And I think that Rashad Khalifa's numerology was just an illusion now since I have realized the verse numbering is a man made insertion.

Could you elaborate more on Quran verse numbering, is it man-made? This subject is still not clear for me. Thanks
