One of the Great Miracles [74:35]

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.

For the first time in history we have a scripture with built-in proof of divine authorship—a superhuman mathematical composition.

Any reader of this book can easily verify the Quran's mathematical miracle. The word "God" (Allah) is written in bold capital letters throughout the text. The cumulative frequency of occurrence of the word "God" is noted at the bottom of each page in the left hand corner. The number in the right hand corner is the cumulative total of the numbers for verses containing the word "God." The last page of the text, Page 372, shows that the total occurrence of the word "God" is 2698, or 19×142. The total sum of verse numbers for all verses containing the word "God" is 118123, also a multiple of 19 (118123 = 19×6217).

Nineteen is the common denominator throughout the Quran's mathematical system.

This phenomenon alone suffices as incontrovertible proof that the Quran is God's message to the world. No human being(s) could have kept track of 2698 occurrences of the word "God," and the numbers of verses where they occur. This is especially impossible in view of (1) the age of ignorance during which the Quran was revealed, and (2) the fact that the suras and verses were widely separated in time and place of revelation. The chronological order of revelation was vastly different from the final format (Appendix 23). However, the Quran's mathematical system is not limited to the word "God;" it is extremely vast, extremely intricate, and totally comprehensive.

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, but please remember they all refer to the original Arabic text:

This is a condensed summary of the Simple Facts.

The Quran is characterized by a unique phenomenon never found in any other book; 29 suras are prefixed with 14 different sets of "Quranic Initials," consisting of one to five letters per set. Fourteen letters, half the Arabic alphabet, participate in these initials. The significance of the Quranic initials remained a divinely guarded secret for 14 centuries.

The Quran states in 10:20 and 25:4-6 that its miracle, i.e., proof of divine authorship, was destined to remain secret for a specific predetermined interim:

They said, "Why hasn't a miracle come down to him from his Lord?" Say, "Only God knows the future. Therefore, wait, and I will wait along with you." [10:20]

* * * * * *

Those who disbelieved said, "This is no more than a fabrication by him, with the help of other people." Indeed, they uttered a blasphemy; a falsehood. Others said, "Tales from the past that he wrote down; they were dictated to him day and night." Say, "This was sent down from the One who knows the secret in the heavens and the earth." Surely, He is Forgiving, Most Merciful. [25:4-6]

The Quranic Initials constitute a major portion of the Quran's 19-based mathematical miracle.

In 1968, I realized that the existing English translations of the Quran did not present the truthful message of God's Final Testament. For example, the two most popular translators, Yusuf Ali and Marmaduke Pickthall, could not overcome their corrupted religious traditions when it came to the Quran's great criterion in 39:45.

When God ALONE is mentioned, the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter shrink with aversion. But when others are mentioned beside Him, they rejoice. [39:45]

Yusuf Ali omitted the crucial word "ALONE" from his translation, and altered the rest of the verse by inserting the word "(gods)." Thus, he utterly destroyed this most important Quranic criterion. He translated 39:45 as follows:

When God, the One and Only, is mentioned, the hearts of those who believe not in the Hereafter are filled with disgust and horror; but when (gods) other than He are mentioned, behold, they are filled with joy. [39:45]

(according to A. Yusuf Ali)

The expression "When God, the One and Only, is mentioned," is not the same as saying, "When God alone is mentioned." One can mention "God, the One and Only," and also mention Muhammad or Jesus, and no one will be upset. But if "God ALONE is mentioned," you cannot mention anyone else, and a lot of people—those who idolize Muhammad or Jesus—will be upset. Thus, Yusuf Ali could not bring himself to present the truth of the Quran, if it exposed his corrupted belief.

Marmaduke Pickthall translated "ALONE" correctly, but destroyed the criterion by inserting his personal belief in parentheses; he translated 39:45 as follows:

And when Allah alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who believe not in the Hereafter are repelled, and when those (whom they worship) beside Him are mentioned, behold! they are glad. [39:45]

(according to Marmaduke Pickthal)

When I saw the truth of God's word thus distorted, I decided to translate the Quran, at least for the benefit of my own children. Since I was a chemist by profession, and despite my extensive religious background—my father was a renowned Sufi leader in Egypt—I vowed to God that I would not move from one verse to the next unless I fully understood it.

I purchased all the available books of Quranic translations and exegeses (Tafseer) I could find, placed them on a large table, and began my translation. The first sura, The Key, was completed in a few days. The first verse in Sura 2 is "A.L.M." The translation of this verse took four years, and coincided with the divine unveiling of "the secret," the great mathematical Miracle of the Quran.

The books of Quranic exegeses unanimously agreed that "no one knows the meaning or significance of the Quranic Initials A.L.M., or any other initials." I decided to write the Quran into the computer, analyze the whole text, and see if there were any mathematical correlations among these Quranic initials.

I used a time-share terminal, connected by telephone to a giant computer. To test my hypothesis, I decided to look at the single-lettered Quranic Initials—"Q" (Qaaf) of Suras 42 and 50, "S" (Saad) of Suras 7, 19, and 38, and "N" (Noon) of Sura 68. As detailed in my first book MIRACLE OF THE QURAN: SIGNIFICANCE OF THE MYSTERIOUS ALPHABETS (Islamic Productions, 1973), many previous attempts to unravel the mystery had failed.

The computer data showed that the text of the only Q-initialed suras, 42 and 50, contained the same number of Q's, 57 and 57. That was the first hint that a deliberate mathematical system might exist in the Quran.

Sura 50 is entitled "Q," prefixed with "Q," and the first verse reads, "Q, and the glorious Quran." This indicated that "Q" stands for "Quran," and the total number of Q's in the two Q-initialed suras represents the Quran's 114 suras (57 + 57 = 114 = 19×6). This idea was strengthened by the fact that "the Quran" occurs in the Quran 57 times.

The Quran is described in Sura "Q" as "Majid" (glorious), and the Arabic word "Majid" has a gematrical value of 57: M(40) + J(3) + I(10) + D(4) = 57.

Sura 42 consists of 53 verses, and 42 + 53 = 95 = 19×5. Sura 50 consists of 45 verses, and 50 + 45 = 95, same total as in Sura 42.

By counting the letter "Q" in every "Verse 19" throughout the Quran, the total count comes to 76, 19×4. Here is a summary of the Q-related data:

1. The frequency of occurrence of "Q" in Sura "Q" (No. 50) is 57, 19×3.
2. The letter "Q" occurs in the other Q-initialed sura (No. 42) exactly the same number of times, 57.
3. The total occurrence of the letter "Q" in the two Q-initialed suras is 114114 = 19 × 6, which equals the number of suras in the Quran.
4. "The Quran" is mentioned in the Quran 57 times.
5. The description of the Quran as "Majid" (Glorious) is correlated with the frequency of occurrence of the letter "Q" in each of the Q-initialed suras. The word "Majid" has a gematrical value of 57.
7. Sura 42 consists of 53 verses, and 42 + 53 = 95, or 19×5.
8. Sura 50 consists of 45 verses, and 50 + 45 is also 95, 19×5.
9. The number of Q's in all verses numbered "19" throughout the Quran is 76, 19×4.

Glimpses of the Quran's mathematical composition began to emerge. For example, it was observed that the people who disbelieved in Lot are mentioned in 50:13 and occur in the Quran 13 times—7:80; 11:70, 74, 89; 21:74; 22:43; 26:160; 27:54, 56; 29:28; 38:13; 50:13; and 54:33. Consistently, they are referred to as "Qawm," with the single exception of the Q-initialed Sura 50 where they are referred to as "Ikhwaan." Obviously, if the regular, Q-containing word "Qawm" were used, the count of the letter "Q" in Sura 50 would have become 58, and this whole phenomenon would have disappeared. With the recognized absolute accuracy of mathematics, the alteration of a single letter destroys the system.

Another relevant example is the reference to Mecca in 3:96 as "Becca"! This strange spelling of the renowned city has puzzled Islamic scholars for many centuries. Although Mecca is mentioned in the Quran properly spelled in 48:24, the letter "M" is substituted with a "B" in 3:96. It turns out that Sura 3 is an M-initialed sura, and the count of the letter "M" would have deviated from the Quran's code if "Mecca" was spelled correctly in 3:96.

This initial is unique; it occurs in one sura, 68, and the name of the letter is spelled out as three letters—Noon Wow Noon—in the original text, and is therefore counted as two N's. The total count of this letter in the N-initialed sura is 133, 19×7.

The fact that "N" is the last Quranic Initial (see Table 1) brings out a number of special observations. For example, the number of verses from the first Quranic Initial (A.L.M. of 2:1) to the last initial (N. of 68:1) is 5263, or 19×277.

The word "God" (Allah) occurs 2641 (19×139) times between the first initial and the last initial. Since the total occurrence of the word "God" is 2698, it follows that its occurrence outside the initials "A.L.M." of 2:1 on one side, and the initial "N" of 68:1 on the other side, is 57, 19×3. Tables 9 to 20 prove that the initial "NuN" must be spelled out to show two N's.

This initial prefixes three suras, 7, 19, and 38, and the total occurrence of the letter "S" (Saad) in these three suras is 152, 19×8 (Table 2). It is noteworthy that in 7:69, the word "Bastatan" is written in some printings with a "Seen," instead of "Saad." This is an erroneous distortion that violates the Quran's code. By looking at the oldest available copy of the Quran, the Tashkent Copy, it was found that the word "Bastatan" is correctly written with a "Seen."

The photocopy from the Tashkent Quran (the oldest existing copy) confirms that the word "Bastatan" in 7:69 is correctly written with a "Saad" — not a "Seen" — validating the mathematical integrity of the S-count in Sura 7.

The momentous discovery that "19" is the Quran's common denominator became a reality in January 1974, coinciding with Zul-Hijjah 1393 A.H. The Quran was revealed in 13 B.H. (Before Hijrah). This makes the number of years from the revelation of the Quran to the revelation of its miracle 1393 + 13 = 1406 = 19×74. As noted above, the unveiling of the Miracle took place in January 1974. The correlation between 19×74 lunar years and 1974 solar years could not escape notice. This is especially uncanny in view of the fact that "19" is mentioned in Sura 74.

These two letters prefix Sura 36. The letter "Y" occurs in this sura 237 times, while the letter "S" (Seen) occurs 48 times. The total of both letters is 285, 19×15.

It is noteworthy that the letter "Y" is written in the Quran in two forms; one is obvious and the other is subtle. The subtle form of the letter may be confusing to those who are not thoroughly familiar with the Arabic language. A good example is the word "Araany," which is mentioned twice in 12:36. The letter "Y" is used twice in this word, the first "Y" is subtle and the second is obvious. Sura 36 does not contain a single "Y" of the subtle type. This is a remarkable phenomenon, and one that does not normally occur in a long sura like Sura 36. In his book QURAN: VISUAL PRESENTATION OF THE MIRACLE (Islamic Productions, 1982) every "Y" and "S" in Sura 36 is marked with a star.

Seven suras are prefixed with the letters "H" and "M"; Suras 40 through 46. The total occurrence of these two letters in the seven H.M.-initialed suras is 2147, or 19×113. The detailed data are shown in Table 3.

Naturally, the alteration of a single letter "H" or "M" in any of the seven H.M.-initialed suras would have destroyed this intricate phenomenon.

These initials constitute Verse 2 of Sura 42, and the total occurrence of these letters in this sura is 209, or 19×11. The letter "'A" ('Ayn) occurs 98 times, the letter "S" (Seen) occurs 54 times, and the letter "Q" (Qaf) occurs 57 times.

The letters "A," "L," and "M" are the most frequently used letters in the Arabic language, and in the same order as we see in the Quranic Initials—"A," then "L," then "M." These letters prefix six suras—2, 3, 29, 30, 31, and 32—and the total occurrence of the three letters in each of the six suras is a multiple of 19 [9899 (19×521), 5662 (19×298), 1672 (19×88), 1254 (19×66), 817 (19×43), and 570 (19×30), respectively]. Thus, the total occurrence of the three letters in the six suras is 19874 (19×1046), and the alteration of one of these letters destroys this phenomenon.

These initials are found in Suras 10, 11, 12, 14, and 15. The total occurrences of these letters in these suras are 2489 (19×131), 2489 (19×131), 2375 (19×125), 1197 (19×63), and 912 (19×48), respectively (Table 5).

These initials prefix one sura, No. 13, and the total frequency of occurrence of the four letters is 1482, or 19×78. The letter "A" occurs 605 times, "L" occurs 480 times, "M" occurs 260 times, and "R" occurs 137 times.

Only one sura is prefixed with these initials, Sura 7, and the letter "A" occurs in this sura 2529 times, "L" occurs 1530 times, "M" occurs 1164 times, and "S" (Saad) occurs 97 times. Thus, the total occurrence of the four letters in this sura is 2529 + 1530 + 1164 + 97 = 5320 = 19×280.

An important observation here is the interlocking relationship involving the letter "S" (Saad). This initial occurs also in Suras 19 and 38. While complementing its sister letters in Sura 7 to give a total that is divisible by 19, the frequency of this letter also complements its sister letters in Suras 19 and 38 to give a multiple of 19 (see Page 380).

Additionally, the Quranic Initial "S" (Saad) interacts with the Quranic Initials "K.H.Y.'A." (Kaaf Haa Ya 'Ayn) in Sura 19 to give another total that is also a multiple of 19 (see Page 383). This interlocking relationship—which is not unique to the initial "S" (Saad)—contributes to the intricacy of the Quran's numerical code.

This is the longest set of initials, consisting of five letters, and it occurs in one sura, Sura 19. The letter "K" in Sura 19 occurs 137 times, "H" occurs 175 times, "Y" occurs 343 times, "'A" occurs 117 times, and "S" (Saad) occurs 26 times. Thus, the total occurrence of the five letters is 137 + 175 + 343 + 117 + 26 = 798 = 19×42.

An intricate interlocking relationship links these overlapping Quranic Initials to produce a total that is also a multiple of 19. The initial "H." is found in Suras 19 and 20. The initials "T.H." prefix Sura 20. The initials "T.S." are found in Sura 27, while the initials "T.S.M." prefix its surrounding Suras 26 & 28.

It should be noted at this time that the longer, more complex, interlocking and overlapping initials are found in the suras where uncommonly powerful miracles are narrated. For example, the virgin birth of Jesus is given in Sura 19, which is prefixed with the longest set of initials, K.H.Y.'A.S.

The interlocking initials "H.," "T.H.," "T.S.," and "T.S.M." prefix suras describing the miracles of Moses, Jesus, and the uncommon occurrences surrounding Solomon and his jinns. God thus provides stronger evidence to support stronger miracles. The frequencies of occurrence of these initials are presented in Table 6.

When the Quran was revealed, 14 centuries ago, the numbers known today did not exist. A universal system was used where the letters of the Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek alphabets were used as numerals. The numerical value assigned to each letter is its "Gematrical Value." The numerical values of the Arabic alphabet are shown in Table 7.

Fourteen Arabic letters, half the Arabic alphabet, participate in the formation of 14 different sets of Quranic Initials. By adding the gematrical value of each one of these letters, plus the number of suras which are prefixed with Quranic Initials (29), we obtain a total of 722, or 19×19×2.

Additionally, if we add the total gematrical value of all 14 initials, plus the number of the first sura where the initial occurs, we get a grand total of 988, 19×52. Table 8 presents these data.

If we add the number of occurrences of each of the 14 letters listed in Table 8 as an initial, plus the numbers of the suras where it occurs as an initial, the Grand Total comes to 2033, 19×107. See Table 9.

Note: The total gematrical value of the Quranic Initials in a given sura equals the gematrical value of each initial multiplied by the frequency of occurrence of that initial in the sura.

Table 11 shows that the sum of numbers of suras and verses where the Quranic Initials are found, plus the initial's frequency of occurrence in that sura, plus the number of the first sura where the initials occur, plus the number of the last sura where the initials occur, produces a total that equals 44232, or 19×2348.

Thus, the distribution of the Quranic Initials in the initialed suras is so intricate that their counts and their placement within suras are intertwined to give a grand total that is a multiple of 19. It is noteworthy that the initial "N" must be counted as two N's. This reflects the fact that the original Quranic text spells out this initial with 2 N's.

A special mathematical coding authenticates the number of verses where the Quranic Initials themselves are found. As detailed in Table 11, all Quranic Initials occur in Verse 1, except in Sura 42 (initials in Verses 1 and 2). This fact is supported by the remarkable mathematical phenomenon detailed in Table 12. If we multiply the first two columns of Table 12, instead of adding, we still end up with a Total that is divisible by 19 (see Table 13).

Obviously, it is crucial to have two different initialed verses in Sura 42 in order to conform with the Quran's mathematical code. The fact that Verse 1 of Sura 42 consists of the two Quranic Initials "H.M." and the second verse consists of the three Initials "'A.S.Q." has perplexed Muslim scholars and orientalists for 14 centuries.

By the end of this Appendix, the reader will see that every element of the Quran is mathematically authenticated. Tables 11 through 13 have dealt with two elements: the number of Quranic Initials in each initialed sura and the number of verses that contain Quranic Initials.

Additional mathematical authentication is shown in Tables 14 and 15. In Table 14, the numbers of all initialed suras are added to the number of verses in each sura, plus the number of verses containing initials, plus the gematrical values of those initials. The Grand Total is 7030, or 19×370.

Remarkably, if we multiply the first two columns of Table 14, instead of adding them, we still get a Grand Total that is divisible by 19 (Table 15).

The number of verses per sura, and the numbers assigned to each verse, are among the basic elements of the Quran. Not only are these elements authenticated mathematically, but both initialed and un-initialed suras are independently coded. Table 16 presents the numbers assigned to the initialed suras, added to the numbers of verses in each sura, plus the sum of verse numbers (1 + 2 + 3 + … + n). The Grand Total is 190133, or 19×10007.

By adding the number of every sura to the number of the next sura, and accumulating the sums as we continue to the end of the Quran, we get a value that corresponds to each sura. Thus Sura 1 has a value of 1, Sura 2 has 1 + 2 = 3, Sura 3 has 3 + 3 = 6, and so on (the triangular number formula n(n+1)/2). Table 17 shows these calculated values for all 29 initialed suras. Their total is 15675, or 19×825.

The values calculated for the un-initialed suras add up to a total of 237785, which is also a multiple of 19 (237785 = 19×12515). Thus, both the initialed and un-initialed sections of the Quran are independently verified by this mathematical system.

**[1]** The word "God" occurs in the Quran **2698 times**, or **19×142**.

**[2]** The numbers of the verses where the word "God" occurs add up to **118123**, also a multiple of 19 (118123 = 19×6217).

These simple phenomena gave us many difficulties while simply counting the word "God." We were a group of workers, equipped with computers, and all of us college graduates. Yet, we made several errors in counting, calculating, or simply writing the counts of the word "God." Those who still claim that Muhammad was the author of the Quran are totally illogical; he never went to college, and he did not have a computer.

**[3]** From the first Quranic Initials (A.L.M. 2:1) to the last initial (N. 68:1), there are **2641 occurrences** of the word "God" — and 2641 = **19×139**.

**[4]** The word "God" occurs **57 times** (19×3) in the section outside the initialed span (Table 18).

**[5]** By adding the numbers of the suras and verses where these 57 occurrences of the word "God" are found, we get a total of **2432 = 19×128** (see Table 18).

**[6]** The word "God" occurs in 85 suras. If we add the number of each sura to the number of verses between the first and last occurrences of the word "God" (both inclusive), the Grand Total comes to **8170 = 19×430** (Table 19).

**[7]** The Quran's dominant message is that there is only "One God." The word "One" in Arabic ("Wahed") occurs in the Quran 25 times. Six of these occurrences refer to things other than God (one kind of food, one door, etc.). The other **19 occurrences refer to God**. The crucial importance of this word is manifested in the fact that the Quran's common denominator, 19, happens to be the gematrical value of the word "ONE."

As pointed out later in this Appendix, all God's scriptures — not only the Quran — were mathematically coded with the number 19. Even the universe at large bears this divine mark. The number 19 can be looked upon as the Almighty Creator's signature on everything He created (see Appendix 38). The number "19" possesses unique mathematical properties:

**[1]** It is a prime number.

**[2]** It encompasses the first numeral (1) and the last numeral (9), as if to proclaim God's attribute in 57:3 as the "Alpha and the Omega."

**[3]** It looks the same in all languages of the world. Both components, 1 and 9, are the only numerals that look the same in all languages.

**[4]** It possesses many peculiar mathematical properties. For example, 19 is the sum of the first powers of 9 and 10, and the difference between the second powers of 9 and 10.

The Lord our God is ONE!

Therefore, you shall worship the Lord your God

with all your heart, with all your soul,

with all your mind, and with all your strength.

[Deuteronomy 6:4-5] [Mark 12:29] [Quran 2:163, 17:22-23]

We now understand that the universal coding of God's creations with the number 19 rests in the fact that it is the gematrical value of the word "ONE" in all the scriptural languages — Aramaic, Hebrew, and Arabic. The number 19, therefore, proclaims the First Commandment in all the scriptures: that there is only ONE God.

As shown in Table 7, the Aramaic, Hebrew, and Arabic alphabets used to double as numerals in accordance with a universally established system. The Hebrew word for "ONE" is "VAHD" (pronounced V-AHAD). In Arabic, the word for "ONE" is "WAHD" (pronounced WAAHED). In both languages, the gematrical value of "ONE" equals 19 — thus the number 19 literally encodes the First Commandment.

The word "Quran" occurs in the Quran 58 times, with one of them — in 10:15 — referring to "another Quran." This particular occurrence must therefore be excluded. Thus, the frequency of occurrence of "this Quran" is **57, or 19×3**.

Two other grammatical forms of the word "Quran" occur in 12 additional verses. One occurrence in 13:31 refers to "another Quran," and another in 41:44 refers to "a non-Arabic Quran." These two are excluded. Table 21 lists all suras and verses where the word "Quran," in all its grammatical forms, validly occurs.

The Quran's first verse — "In the Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful" — known as the Basmalah, consists of **19 Arabic letters**. Its four constituent words occur in the Quran consistently in multiples of 19:

The first word — "Ism" (Name) — occurs 19 times.

The second word — "Allah" (God) — occurs 26982698 = 19 × 142 times (19×142142 ÷ 19 → r9).

The third word — "Al-Rahman" (Most Gracious) — occurs 57 times (19×3).

The fourth word — "Al-Raheem" (Most Merciful) — occurs 114114 = 19 × 6 times (19×6).

Professor Cesar Majul examined the gematrical values of more than 400 attributes of God, and found only four divine names whose gematrical values are multiples of 19:

1. "Waahed" (One) ——————————————————— gematrical value: 19

2. "Zul Fadl Al-'Azim" (Possessor of Infinite Grace) ——— 26982698 = 19 × 142

3. "Majid" (Glorious) ——————————————————— 57

4. "Jaami'" (Summoner / Gatherer) ————————————— 114114 = 19 × 6

The only Divine Names whose gematrical values are divisible by 19 correspond exactly to the frequencies of occurrence of the Basmalah's four words. The figure below illustrates this remarkable phenomenon:

The four words of Basmalah (left) — their frequencies of occurrence (center) — the only four divine names whose gematrical values are divisible by 19 (right)

Although the Quran provides numerous important commandments governing all aspects of our lives (see for example 17:22-38), five basic "pillars" have been traditionally emphasized:

Like everything else in the Quran, these are mathematically structured.

As mentioned earlier, the word "ONE" that refers to God occurs in the Quran **19 times**. The reference to God "ALONE" occurs **5 times**, and the sum of the sura and verse numbers where we find these five occurrences is **361 = 19×19**.

The "First Pillar of Islam" is stated in 3:18 as **"LAA ELAAHA ELLA HOO"** (There is no other god besides Him). This most important expression occurs in **19 suras**. The first occurrence is in 2:163, and the last occurrence is in 73:9. Table 22 shows that the total of sura numbers, plus the number of verses between the first and last occurrences, plus the sum of these verse numbers is **316502 = 19×16658**.

Also, by adding the numbers of the 19 suras where "LAA ELAAHA ELLA HOO" occurs, plus the verse numbers where this expression is found, plus the total number of occurrences (29), the Grand Total comes to **2128 = 19×112** (Table 23).

The word "Salat" occurs in the Quran **67 times**. When we add the numbers of the suras and verses of these 67 occurrences, the total comes to **4674 = 19×246**.

The commandment to fast is mentioned in the following verses: 2:183, 184, 185, 187, 196; 4:92; 5:89, 95; 33:35, 35; and 58:4. The total of these numbers is **1387 = 19×73**. It is noteworthy that 33:35 mentions fasting twice — once for the believing men, and once for the believing women — hence it appears twice in the sum.

While the first three pillars are obligatory upon all believers, the Zakat and Hajj are decreed only for those who can afford them. This explains an interesting mathematical phenomenon: neither Zakat alone nor Hajj alone produces a multiple of 19, but together they do.

The Zakat charity is mentioned in: 2:43, 83, 110, 177, 277; 4:77, 162; 5:12, 55; 7:156; 9:5, 11, 18, 71; 18:81; 19:13, 31, 55; 21:73; 22:41, 78; 23:4; 24:37, 56; 27:3; 30:39; 31:4; 33:33; 41:7; 58:13; 73:20; and 98:5. These numbers add up to **2395** — not a multiple of 19 (off by +1).

The Hajj Pilgrimage occurs in: 2:189, 196, 197; 9:3; and 22:27. These numbers add up to **645** — not a multiple of 19 (off by −1).

Together, however:

Zakat (23952395 ÷ 19 → r1) + Hajj (645645 ÷ 19 → r18) = 30403040 = 19 × 160 = 19×160160 ÷ 19 → r8

Only those who can afford both are required to perform both — and only together do they complete the 19-based code.

The Quran's suras, verses, words, and letters are not only mathematically composed, but also arranged into a superhuman structure that is **purely mathematical** — the literary content has nothing to do with such an arrangement.

Since the physical construction of the Quran is purely mathematical, it would be expected that the numbers mentioned in the Quran must conform with the 19-based code.

A total of **30 unique numbers** are mentioned throughout the Quran, and the sum of all these numbers is **162146 = 19×8534**. Table 24 lists every distinct number mentioned in the Quran.

The numbers mentioned only once in the Quran are: 11, 19, 20, 50, 60, 80, 99, 300, 2000, 3000, 5000, 50000, and 100000.

All the numbers mentioned in the Quran — including repetitions — occur **285 times**, and 285 = **19×15**.

The numbering system of the Quran's suras and verses has been perfectly preserved. Only a few unauthorized and easily detectable printings deviate from the standard system that is divinely guarded.

When we add the numbers of all suras, plus the number of verses in every sura, plus the sum of verse numbers, the Grand Total for the whole Quran comes to **346199 = 19×19×959**. Table 25 is an abbreviated presentation of these data. Thus, the slightest alteration of a single sura or verse would have destroyed this system. As shown in Table 16, if we consider only the 29 initialed suras, these same data produce a Grand Total which is also a multiple of 19 — it follows that the data for the un-initialed suras are also independently divisible by 19.

Table 26 presents the same data for the 85 un-initialed suras independently.

Now let us look at another set of miracles involving the sura and verse numbers. These involve writing out the numbers as digit strings, then adding them.

**Table 27 — Concatenated strings:** Write down the sura number, followed by the number of verses in that sura, then the number of every verse, and finally the sum of verse numbers. For Sura 1 this produces: `1 7 1234567 28`. For Sura 2 it produces: `2 286 123456…286 41041`. Do the same for all 114 suras and add them together. The resulting total consists of **759 digits** and is a **multiple of 19**.

**Table 28 — Left-justified verse totals:** Write down the total number of verses in each sura, followed by the sum of verse numbers, left-justified. For Sura 1: `7 28`, for Sura 2: `286 41041`, for Sura 3: `200 20100`, and so on to Sura 114: `6 21`. Add all these left-justified numbers together in the usual manner (right to left). The total is **4,859,309,774 = 19×255,753,146**.

**Table 29 — Left-justified verse-by-verse:** Do the same as Table 28, but instead of writing the total number of verses, write down the number of every verse. For Sura 1 this produces `1234567 28`. For Sura 114 it produces `123456 21`. The total of all these left-justified numbers consists of **757 digits** and is still a **multiple of 19**.

Write down the number of each verse in the Quran, preceded for each sura by the number of verses in that sura. Thus, Sura 1, which consists of seven verses, will be represented by the number **7 1234567**. Sura 2, with 286 verses, will look like: **286 12345…284285286**. Putting all suras together produces one very long number encompassing every verse in the Quran.

"Proclaim: 'What if it is from God, and you disbelieved in it? A witness from the Children of Israel has borne witness to a similar phenomenon, and he has believed, while you have turned too arrogant to believe. God does not guide the wicked.'" — [46:10]

The following quotation is taken from **Studies in Jewish Mysticism** (Association for Jewish Studies, Cambridge, MA; Joseph Dan & Frank Talmage, eds., p. 88, 1982). The quotation refers to the work of **Rabbi Judah the Pious** (12th Century AD):

<blockquote> The people [Jews] in France made it a custom to add [in the morning prayer] the words: "'Ashrei temimei derekh [blessed are those who walk the righteous way]," and our Rabbi, the Pious, of blessed memory, wrote that they were completely and utterly wrong. It is all gross falsehood, because there are only <strong>nineteen</strong> times that the Holy Name is mentioned [in that portion of the morning prayer]... and similarly you find the word 'Elohim <strong>nineteen</strong> times in the pericope of Ve-'elleh shemot. . . . Similarly, you find that Israel were called "sons" <strong>nineteen</strong> times, and there are many other examples. All these sets of nineteen are intricately intertwined, and they contain many secrets and esoteric meanings, which are contained in more than eight large volumes... Furthermore, in this section there are <strong>152 (19×8) words</strong>.
