In this study an attempt for understanding a few mathematical facts of a Qur’anic Chapter (i.e. sūrah) is made. The attempt is the combination of both Abjad and Non-abjad approach. For the purpose of this paper, the 108thsūrah of the holy Qur’an- sūrah Al-Kawthar is selected. This is the shortest of the 114 sūrahs of the Qur’an. The main aim is to see whether there is any mathematical patterns in the sūrah that reveals uniqueness of the holy book. A possible analysis is done based on very simple and common mathematical operations such as ‘addition’, ‘subtraction’, ‘multiplication’, and ‘division’. Some astonishing outcomes have been discovered which indicates not only the singularity of the sūrah but also proves the impossibility of any human intervention in the Qur’an. These amazing conclusions are derived by human efforts, which are not conclusive, and the Qur’an al-Karim is not in need of such discoveries to prove that it is a divine sacred text. The main purpose of the Qur’an is to guide all mankind towards a blessed and blissful life in this worldly life and also eternal life in hereafter.
