How the "LAM" and some other Arabic
alphabets look like

initial form means how the alphabet appears in the beginning of the word or in the middle of a word if it follows some Arabic alphabets that do not connect with it, e.g. alif, Dal , Thal, Reh, zen, waw....
Medial form means how the alphabet appears when written in the middle of a word, when it connects with the surrounding alphabets.
Final form means when the alphabet appears at the end of a word, unless it follows some Arabic alphabets that do not connect with it, e.g. alif, Dal , Thal, Reh, zen, waw.... .
Isolated form means when the alphabet is free standing.
Lam and Alif
look special when they
join as a lam first followed by an alif, like this
This combination has only one lam and
one alif unless a hamza
was added to the middle of them, as in
, in this case it is still one lam but has two alifs ( an alif and a hamza)

Sura 30 verse
21 - Rashad counted 7 Lams but the verse has 8 lams

In this Arabic
text, the letter LAM was colored red. The computer however, because of
technical reason in writing this font, in case of D' colored both the Lam and alif red and
should be counted as one lam in each.

There is no other
ways to write these Arabic words with LESS LAMS to make Rashad's
count correct. Check with all the Arabic Qurans you
can get your hand on and you will see that all agree on the same count of the
lams.

Since this number
of lams in sura 30 ( in red)
is wrong, the whole table will collapse. The correct number of lams as a
physical fact is written in blue between ( ). If the "Lams" are
wrong, the "Alifs" have to be wrong for
this initial to be a multiple of 19, and that is exactly what we found out.

Since this number
of lams in sura 11 ( in red)
is wrong, the whole table will collapse. The correct number of lams as a
physical fact is written in blue between ( ). If we do not fix it we will be
fooling ourselves and fooling the people. We will not be forgiven if we claim
to be submitters while denying this obvious error and have no explanation to it
and worse than that try to cover it up by all non-sense means. A fact is a
fact. If the "Lams" are wrong, the "Alifs"
have to be wrong for this initial to be a multiple of 19, and that is exactly
what we found out.
We have the obligation to correct what we see as obvious errors, even when committed by the messenger of God who was counting these initials to the best in his human capacity. God let him count the initial Alif four times and make errors in the four counts to teach us that he was counting as a human being not as a messenger who was receiving the correct number through revelations as some people claim on their own. God would not reveal a wrong number to His messenger and four times !!!!!. Also, God did not gave His messenger the wrong numbers, but the messenger made his errors like any human being would. God is teaching those who deserve to know a lesson. As God system goes, not everyone deserves these great lessons.
