PROOF FOR THE WORLD
QURAN, THE UNALTERED, COMPLETE WORD OF GOD
For the first time in history, we have a
built-in proof that
the Quran is the unaltered, original and complete word of God.
A proof that is verifiable by anyone. So powerful is the proof,
that in a few generations it will become obvious, that any religion
or any group of people, which advocates faith, as a pre-requisite
or basis for belief will immediately be exposed as a false religion.
Since we now have proof, blind faith is no longer valid.
"You shall not accept any information, unless
you verify it for yourself. I have given you the hearing, the
eyesight, and the brain, and you are responsible for using them."
(17:36)
The mathematical structure of the Quran was discovered by Dr.
Rashad Khalifa, an Egyptian born American biochemist, in the 1970's.
Dr. Khalifa, started translating the Quran into English with
the determination to find an explanation for the mysterious
initials prefixing 29 Suras. He initiated an extensive research
on these initials (for example: the Arabic letter "Qaaf" in Suras
42 and 50), after placing the Quranic text of the initialed Suras
into a computer. His objective was to find a mathematical pattern
which would explain the significance of the initials, although
he had no idea where and what to look for. After several years
of research, Dr. Khalifa published his first results in a book
entitled MIRACLE OF THE QURAN, Significance of the Mysterious
Alphabets (Islamic Productions), in 1973. It was in 1974 that
Dr. Khalifa discovered that there was a common denominator in
the initials and throughout the Quran - the number 19. Subsequently
Dr. Khalifa published, THE
COMPUTER SPEAKS: GOD'S MESSAGE TO THE
WORLD (Renaissance Productions, 1981), QURAN: Visual Presentation
of the Miracle (Islamic Productions, 1982); and the translation
of the Quran in English (Islamic Productions, 1989). All these
publications are good tools to verify the mathematical structure.

SOME SIMPLE FACTS
1. The first verse (1:1), "Basmalah" consists of 19 Arabic
letters.
2. Each of the four Arabic words of "Basmalah" are repeated in
the Quran in multiples of 19 in numbered verses.
The first word..."Ism" (Name).....occurs...19 times
The second word.."Allah" (God)....occurs...2698 times
(19x142)
The third word..."Al-Rahman" (Most Gracious)...57 times (19x3)
The fourth word.."Raheem" (Most Merciful)..114 times (19x6)
The above can be verified by the following:
A. In the Concordance of the Quran by Abdul Baqy on page 362
the word ISM is listed with 19 occurrences. The peculiar spelling of
the word ISM as BISM is repeated in the Quran three times in verses
1:1, 27:30 & 11:41. (1+1+27+30+11+41 + number of occurrences
3 =114 or 19x6)
B. The count of the word ALLAH can best be verified by Dr. Rashad
Khalifa's translation of the Quran which carries the cumulative
total occurrences of ALLAH on
each page. Abdul Baqy gets the same
count when the numbered verse 1:1 is included in
his count.
C. On page 307 on Abdul Baqy's concordance we find AL REHMAN to be
57 as total occurrences.
D. The word AL RAHEEM is listed on page 307 as occurring 95 times,
while RAHEEM is listed on page 309 as occurring as 20 times. The
total occurrence is 114 (95 -1
+ 20 = 114). AL RAHEEM in verse
9:128 is not counted (Note: verses 9:128 & 129
were falsely
injected into the Quran after the death of the prophet. The subject will
be discussed in another topic).
3. The Quran consists of 114 suras, which is ...19 x 6
4. The total number of verses in the Quran is 6346, or
19
x 334. 6346 is the total of 6234 numbered verses and 112
un-numbered
verses (Basmalah)
Also 6 + 3 + 4 + 6 = 19
5. From the missing Basmalah in sura 9 to the extra Basmalah in
sura 27, there are precisely 19 suras.
6. The first revelation (96:1-5) consists of 19 words and 76
letters (19 x 4)
7. First sura revealed (sura 96) consists of 19 verses and 304
Arabic letters (19 x 16).
8. The Quran mentions 30 different numbers.(Eg: 300 & 9 in
verse 18:25). The sum of the 30 numbers is 162,146 or 19 x
8534.
9. The sum of all verse numbers where God "Allah" is mentioned
is 118,123 or 19 x 6,217.
QURANIC INITIALS
There are 29 suras in the Quran with prefixed initials. All the
initials are linked to the common denominator - 19.
"Q" (Qaaf) is initialed in suras 42 and 50. In both the suras,"Q"
is repeated 57 times or 19 x 3.
"Nun" (Noon) is initialed in sura 68 and the name of the letter
is spelled out as - "noon wow noon" - in the original text. The
total count of "Nun" is 133 or 19 x 7.
"S" (Saad) is initialed in suras, 7, 19, 38, and the total
occurrence in the three suras is 152 or 19 x 8.
"Y.S" (Ya Seen). These two letters are prefixed in Sura 36 and
the total occurrence for both of them is 285 or 19 x 15.
"H.M" (Ha Mim). These letters prefix suras 40 through 46 and
their total occurrence in the seven "H.M" initialed suras is 2147 or
19 x 113.
"`A.S.Q" ('Ayn Seen Qaf). These initials constitute Verse 2 of
sura 42 and are repeated in the sura 209 or 19 x 11 times.
"A.L.M" (Alef Laam Mim). These most frequently used letters in
the Arabic language are prefixed in six suras - 2, 3, 29, 30, 31 and
32 and the total occurrence of the three letters in each of the six
suras in 9899 (19x521), 5662 (19x298), 1672 (19x88),1254 (19x66),
817 (19x43) and 570 (19x30) respectively.
All other Quranic initials, without exception, show similar
patterns of being multiples of 19.
GEMATRICAL VALUE
When the Quran was revealed, 14 centuries ago, the numbers known
today did not exist. Alphabets of Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic and
Greek languages were used as numerals with a value for each
alphabet. For example, "alef" had a value of 1, "wow" had a value
of 6, etc. The total sum of the 19 letters of "Basmalah" is 786,
a number known to muslim masses all over the world by God's will.
It is beyond the scope of this article to give the mathematical
patterns in the Quran, taking into consideration the Gematrical
Value of Arabic letters. Only one example will be given. The total
sum of the 14 Arabic letters which participate in the formation
of Quranic initials in 29 suras is 693.....693 + 29 = 722 or 19
x 19 x 2.
COMPLEX NUMBERS
The use of a computer becomes mandatory in certain complex
aspects of the mathematical miracle of the Quran. For example, the sum
of the number of verses in each of the 114 suras plus the sum
of every single verse number in all the suras is equal to 339,644
or 19 x 17,876.
If we take the same number used in getting the total of 339,644
and put them all, side by side, from the first sura to the last
sura, we obtain a 12,692 digit number. The number 12,692 is
divisible by 19 (19 x 668). But more importantly, the entire 12,692
digit number is also a multiple of 19.

OVER IT IS NINETEEN (74:30)
We now know the meaning of verse 30 of sura 74. God has chosen
the number nineteen as his signature on his creation - the Glorious
Quran. Anyone who cares to study and verify the mathematical
structure of the Quran will know with certainty that such a book
can never be authored by anyone, other than by God. When this
mathematical structure is taken together with the literary
excellence of the Quran, one can appreciate God's assertion in
the following verses in the same sura 74, that this is one of the
God's great miracles.
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)
REASON FOR THE MIRACLE OF QURAN
Verse 74:31 gives five reasons for the miracle of the Quran with
number 19 as the common denominator.
1. To disturb the disbelievers.
2. To convince the Christians and the Jews (that this is divine scripture).
3. To strengthen the faith of the faithful.
4. To remove all traces of doubt from the hearts of Christians, Jews,
as well as the believers; and
5. To expose those who harbor doubt in their hearts, and the disbelievers;
who will say, "What did God mean by this allegory?" (or "So What?").
NEW ERA IN RELIGION
With mankind having a verifiable proof, that the Quran, the Final
Testament, is the unaltered word of God, we have entered a new
era in religion. Verse 17:36 quoted above mandates, that we use our
hearing , eyesight and brain to verify all information, including
the miracle of the Quran by ourselves.
This new era also mandates that we seek proof for any religious
law or practice dictated upon us. What makes the religion of
Submission (Islam) so easy, is the proof, we now have, that the Quran
is the unaltered and complete word of God. As submitters (Muslims)
to God, we have to accept God's assertion in the Quran; that the
Quran is complete, fully detailed and the only source of religious
law.
