The Science of Calculating Days, Years, and Centuries in the Quran

The Quran, as a sacred text in Islam, contains numerous references to time and calendars, which Muslim scholars have sought to interpret throughout history. One notable topic of study is the method of calculating days, years, and centuries based on Quranic verses. For instance, in Surah Al-Kahf, the story of the Companions of the Cave mentions the precise number of years they spent asleep. These verses not only demonstrate the Quran's attention to temporal accuracy but also inspire astronomical studies and time calculations among Muslims. This intersection of religious texts and the science of timekeeping has played a crucial role in the development of Islamic sciences and calendar systems in various Islamic cultures.
