Statistical probability distributions of the noble Quran

Abstract EN

Classification of raw data through a frequency distribution is very important to determine the nature of the data distribution (probability distribution) and their structures.

This paper describes the classifications of the number of verses (Ayas), words and letters in the chapters (Sura) of the Noble Quran using frequency distributions (tables) and then drawing histograms for each of the three types in order to find their structures.

The main objective of this paper is to test and compare the frequency distributions of verses, words and letters of the Noble Quran with the common theoretical probability distributions using appropriate statistical methods.

The results showed that the probability distributions for the number of verses and words per Quranic chapter are Exponential and Gamma respectively.

The software which had been using to obtain data was QuranCode software created by Adams, and Excel, Statgraphics Centurion XV, and EasyFit 5.5 programs used for the data analyses.
