In the name of GOD, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Absolutely, (I swear) by the moon.
And the night as it passes. And the morning as it shines.
This is one of the great miracles. [74:32-35]
For the first time in history we have a scripture with built-in proof of divine authorship – a superhuman mathematical composition.
The Quran is characterized by a unique phenomenon never found in any human authored book. Every element of the Quran is mathematically composed – the suras, the verses, the words, the number of certain letters, the number of words from the same root, the number and variety of divine names, the unique spelling of certain words, the absence or deliberate alteration of certain letters within certain words, and many other elements of the Quran besides its content.
There are two major facets of the Quran’s mathematical system: (1) The mathematical literary composition, and (2) The mathematical structure involving the numbers of suras and verses. Because of this comprehensive mathematical coding, the slightest distortion of the Quran’s text or physical arrangement is immediately exposed.
The Simple Facts
Like the Quran itself, the Quran’s mathematical coding ranges from the very simple, to the very complex. The Simple facts are those observations that can be ascertained without using any tools. The complex facts require the assistance of a calculator or a computer. The following facts do not require any tools to be verified:
| 1. | The first verse (1:1), known as “Basmalah,” consists of | 19 letters |
| 2. | The Quran consists of 114 suras, which is | 19 x 6 |
| 3. | The total number of verses in the Quran is 6346, or [6234 numbered verses & 112 un-numbered verses (Basmalahs) 6234+112 = 6346] Note that 6+3+4+6= |
19 x 33419 |
| 4. | The Basmalah occurs 114 times, despite its conspicuous absence from Sura 9 (it occurs twice in Sura 27) & 114= | 19 x 6 |
| 5. | From the missing Basmalah of Sura 9 to the extra Basmalah of Sura 27, there are precisely | 19 suras |
| 6. | It follows that the total of the sura numbers from 9 to 27 (9+10+11+12+…+26+27) is 342, or | 19 x 18 |
| 7. | This total (342) also equals the number of words between the two Basmalahsof Sura 27, and 342 = | 19 x 18 |
| 8. | The famous first revelation (96:1-5) consists of | 19 words |
| 9. | This 19-worded first revelation consists of 76 letters | 19 x 4 |
| 10. | Sura 96, first in the chronological sequence, consists of | 19 verses |
| 11. | This first chronological sura is placed atop the last | 19 suras |
| 12. | Sura 96 consists of 304 Arabic letters, and 304 equals | 19 x 16 |
| 13. | The last revelation (Sura 110) consists of | 19 words |
| 14. | The first verse of the last revelation (110:1) consists of | 19 letters |
| 15. | 14 different Arabic letters, form 14 different sets of “Quranic Initials” (such as A.L.M. of 2:1), and prefix 29 suras. These numbers add up to 14+14+29=57= | 19 x 3 |
| 16. | The total of the 29 sura numbers where the Quranic Initials occur is 2+3+7+…+50+68 = 822, and 822+14 (14 sets of initials) equals 836, or | 19 x 44 |
| 17. | Between the first initialed sura (Sura 2) and the last initialed sura (Sura 68) there are 38 un-initialed suras | 19 x 2 |
| 18. | Between the first and last initialed sura there are of alternating “initialed” and “uninitialed” suras. | 19 sets |
| 19. | The Quran mentions 30 different numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 19, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 99, 100, 200, 300, 1000, 2000, 3000, 5000, 50,000, & 100,000. The sum of these numbers is 162146, which equals | 19×8534 |
This is a condensed summary of the Simple Facts.
The great miracles given to Moses and Jesus were limited in time and place; they were witnessed by a few people who were destined to be in the right place at the right time. But the mathematical miracle of the Quran is perpetual, those who sincerely seek the truth can witness it in any place at any time. In short, this is indeed the miracle of all miracles and is not bound by time or place.
Why was this miracle hidden for 14 centuries? Why did it come out now? And who discovered it?
God’s great miracle in the Quran is based on the prime number 19, and it remained hidden for 1406 years (19 x 74). Please note that the only number 19 mentioned in the Quran is in Sura 74. It is also important to note that the Quran’s mathematical miracle was revealed in 1974 AD. Hundreds of Muslim and Orientalist scholars during the last 14 centuries tried in vain to decipher the significance of the Quranic initials, but were not permitted by God to do so.
The mathematical miracle of the Quran was predestined to be unveiled by Dr. Rashad Khalifa in 1974. This great miracle proves that the Quran is the word of God; it confirms the previous scriptures and gives good news to the believers alongwith a warning to those who choose to go astray.
The Quran was revealed to Muhammad but the mathematical miracle was destined to be unveiled much later.
[10:20] They say, “How come no miracle came down to him from his Lord?” Say, “The future belongs to GOD; so wait, and I am waiting along with you.”
This wait is now over. God’s awesome plan was to unveil the great miracle of the Quran at the hands of the messenger of the covenant as prophesied in not only the Quran but the previous scriptures as well.
Major Prophecy Fulfilled*
God’s Messenger of the Covenant
[3:81] GOD took a covenant from the prophets, saying, “I will give you the scripture and wisdom. Afterwards, a messenger will come to confirm all existing scriptures. You shall believe in him and support him.” He said, “Do you agree with this, and pledge to fulfill this covenant?” They said, “We agree.” He said, “You have thus borne witness, and I bear witness along with you.”
Muhammad Pledges to Support
God’s Messenger of the Covenant*
[33:7] Recall that we took from the prophets their covenant, including you (O Muhammad), Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus the son of Mary. We took from them a solemn pledge.*
God’s Messenger of the Covenant
Lo, I am sending My messenger to prepare the way before Me; and suddenly there will come to the temple the Lord whom you seek, and the messenger of the covenant whom you desire. Yes, he is coming, says the Lord of hosts. But who will endure the day of his coming? And who can stand when he appears? For he is like the refiner’s fire … he will sit purifying …. (Malachi 3:1-3)
The prophecy was fulfilled. The covenant that God took from the phophets was fulfilled. God’s messenger of the covenant arrived, supported by overwhelming tangible proof. His name is coded in the Quran as Rashad Khalifa.
