There are 13 chapters of the Quran with verse counts that are multi0le of 10, as shown in the Table below. Note that 13 is the 6th prime number, where 6 is the first perfect number.
The total of the chapter numbers is 688 = 16×43, where the digit sums of each of the two factors 16 and 43 is the mystical number 7(1). The total verse counts of the 13 chapters is 810 = 10×81, a multiple of 10. The prime-counting function of 81, π(81) = 22, that is, there are 22 prime numbers less than or equal to 81, where 22 = 2×11 and 11 is a special number that symbolizes the Oneness of Allāh. π(810) = 140 = 2×7×10, which is a multiple of 10 and of mystical 7.
The 6 entries in the table below in parentheses are prime-numbered (2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13). The total of their chapter numbers 290 = 10×29 is a multiple of 10 and the digit sum of 29 is 11. π(29) = 10 and π(290) = 62 = 2×31, where π(31) = 11. The corresponding verse counts of the 6 chapters is 350 = 5×7×10, which is a multiple of 10 as well as 7.
