QURAN'S MATHEMATICAL CODE
An intricate mathematical code, far beyond the ability of human intelligence, has been discovered imbedded in the fabric of the scripture. Like an ancient time capsule, it remained hidden until our knowledge grew sophisticated enough to decode its intricacies. This code was deciphered by computers. The discovery of mathematically coded scripture assures us that the verses, words, letters and all parameters of the original scripture were written down in accordance with an intricate pattern that is clearly superhuman.
The first indication of this mathematical composition was in the 11th century by Rabbi Judah the Pious. In a book entitled STUDIES IN JEWISH MYSTICISM (Association for Jewish Studies, 1982, p. 91), Joseph Dan writes that Rabbi Judah and his disciples developed a theory that: ...the words and letters of the various prayers are not accidental, nor are they only vehicles for their literal meaning. Their order, especially their numbers, reflect a mystical harmony, a sacred divine rhythm.
This mystical harmony can be discovered in historical events, directed by God; in nature, especially in the miraculous occurrences directly influenced by divine powers; and first and foremost, in the Bible.
According to Rabbi Judah and the Ashkenazi Hasidic school in general, there can be nothing accidental in the Bible, not even the forms of letters, the punctuation, the vocalization, and especially-in the numerical structures-the number of certain letters, consonants or vowels in a certain verse; the number of words from the same root; the number and variety of divine names in a certain pericope, the absence of one or more letters from a chapter, and many other elements of the Scriptures besides their content.
Nine centuries after Rabbi Judah stated these elements of the code, the computer has demonstrated each of them. As detailed in this chapter and the next, the original scripture was mathematically composed in a way that encodes and guards every single one of its parameters. If the scripture were tampered with, the code would be broken.
Joseph Dan writes that Rabbi Judah was critical of the French and British Jews when they altered the morning prayer by adding a few words (Ibid., p. 88). Rabbi Judah pointed out that such an addition destroys the numerical structure of the prayer and renders it utterly nullified. He maintained that it is the "numerical combination," rather than the "meanings" of the words that effects the needed contact between the worshiper and God. Even the specific, nineteen-based, numerical system of the scripture was reported by Rabbi Judah:
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 nineteen times that the Holy Name is mentioned [in that portion of the morning prayer]
...and similarly you find the word 'Elohim nineteen times in the pericope of Ve-'elleh shemot.... Similarly, you find that Israel is called "sons" nineteen 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. Therefore, anyone who has the fear of God in him will not listen to the words of the Frenchmen who add the verse "'Ashrei temimei derekh," and blessed are the righteous who walk in the paths of God's Torah, for according to their additions the Holy Name is mentioned twenty times
...and this is a great mistake. Furthermore, in this section there are 152 words (152 = 19 x 8) but if you add "'Ashrei temimei derekh" there are 158 words. This is nonsense, for it is a great and hidden secret why there should be 152 words
...but it cannot be explained in a short treatise. ...In order to understand this religious phenomenon, we have to take the basic contention of this treatise exactly as it is stated: every addition or omission of a word, or even of a single letter, from the sacred text of the prayers destroys the religious meaning of the prayer as a whole and is to be regarded as a grave sin, a sin which could result in eternal exile for those who commit it.... (STUDIES IN JEWISH MYSTICISM, pp. 88-89)
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
The discovery of numerical structures within the scriptures and the divinely instituted liturgies have resulted in a number of important conclusions. Some of these conclusions appear in STUDIES IN JEWISH MYSTICISM (Ibid., p. 92):
(1) No change can be tolerated in the text of the prayers, not even a minute one, because every change-even of one letter-would destroy the numerical harmony inherent in the text....
(2) The liturgy received new importance and new meaning within the framework of religious practice. A completely new dimension was added in this way to the daily prayer service; it stopped being just a reciting of requests and praises of God in ancient formulas, and became a vehicle for becoming a participant in a mystical, divine harmony.
The prayers suddenly received a new depth of meaning and importance, which was undreamed of in the thousand years that had passed since they were formulated. Joseph Dan reports that "the fierce polemical tone of Rabbi Judah's criticism of the changes introduced by the `Frenchmen' in the prayers can therefore be explained as a result of his fear that the prayers may be regarded as completely human in origin and meaning, making them secular and meaningless in religious and mystical practices."
Rabbi Judah was also fearful that changes to the prayer would disrupt the mystical dimension and break the connection with God that they created: According to him [Rabbi Judah], even if the context and meaning of the prayer is religious, expressing love and devotion to God, it still will be just "a secular song like that of the non-Jews" if it does not have the added mystical dimension of hidden truth [the mathematical composition], which cannot be revealed by the literal meaning of the words alone.
In his polemic, Rabbi Judah does not defend only the specific tradition of prayer which he received from his parents and teachers; he also defends prayer as an elevating force, forming a connection between man and God, a connection that no mere words can achieve. (STUDIES IN JEWISH MYSTICISM, pp. 92-93)
The divinely instituted liturgies, in their original, unaltered words, are so numerically composed that they can be compared to the combination of a locked safe; we need to dial that specific combination to establish contact with our creator.
This is probably why the daily prayers were called in Aramic and Hebrew SLA and in Arabic SALA which means "contact" or "connection." Because of this understanding, Rabbi Judah warned his neighbors in France and England that if they allowed any change in the text of the prayers, their prayers would become "like the songs of the uncircumcised non-Jews."
Free expression of feelings, religious or secular, was regarded by Rabbi Judah as a non-Jewish song, which has no place in the framework of worship. Obviously, the slightest change, even of one letter, would destroy the divinely composed numerical system and thus, the "combination" to open the lock and establish contact with God would not work.
IMPORTANCE TO OUR SUBJECT
The discovery of mathematically authenticated scripture provides a totally unexpected opportunity to explore the validity of our understanding regarding religious disputes such as divinty of Christ or Moses parting the red sea. If there were a scripture which was proven to be unaltered by human beings, it would give us a safe point of reference for our study.
The idea of mathematically composing a literary work is certainly novel to human thinking, and unique to the scriptures. The numerical pattern serves both as an authenticating tool and as a guard to protect and preserve the scripture. Obviously, finding original, unaltered scripture is of crucial importance. The slightest change in the text of a mathematically coded literary work would disrupt or utterly destroy such a code; the mathematical pattern would simply disappear.
As pointed out by Rabbi Judah, "every addition or omission of a word, or even of a single letter...destroys the religious meaning of the prayer as a whole and is regarded as a grave sin." From a purely mathematical point of view, the slightest change renders the pattern non-existent; 76, for example, is a multiple of 19, but 77 or 75 is not.
ORIGINAL SCRIPTURE
There is proof that one scripture is completely intact, and perfectly preserved. Unlike other known scriptures, this one still exists in its original, untranslated language-just as it was revealed 1400 years ago. It is known to be complete, with no loss of any of the original revelation. Western access to this scripture has been limited by the fact that the people to whom it was originally delivered have all but buried it with their cultural tradition.
They believe that it is the basis of their religious belief, when in fact, what they practice generally goes contrary to its teachings.
This scripture is the Quran. In a recent translation of the Quran, the translator emphasizes the role of the number nineteen as an authenticating code for the Quran. In 1968, through computer decoding, and totally independent of the work of Rabbi Judah the Pious,
Dr. Rashad Khalifa discovered that an extremely intricate 19-based numerical structure encodes and guards every aspect of the Quran. In the second edition of his translation QURAN: THE FINAL TESTAMENT (Islamic Productions, 1989),
Khalifa refers to Rabbi Judah's work, and suggests that nineteen represents God's own signature on everything He created. He also provides the first plausible explanation for the prominence of the 19-based mathematical pattern throughout the scriptures, as well as the universe.
In his appendix entitled "19: The Creator's Signature" (Ibid., p. 709) Khalifa writes: The scriptures are not the only mathematically composed creations of God where the number 19 is the common denominator.
It is profound indeed that Galileo made his famous statement: "Mathematics is the language with which God created the universe." A plethora of scientific findings have now shown that the number 19 represents God's signature upon certain creations.
This divine stamp appears throughout the universe in much the same manner as the signatures of Michelangelo and Picasso identify their works.
For example:
1.The sun, the moon, and the earth become aligned in the same relative positions once every 19 years (see the ENCYCLOPEDIA JUDAICA under "Calendar").
2.Halley's comet, a profound heavenly phenomenon, visits our solar system every 76 years, 19x4.
3.God's stamp on you and me is manifested in the fact that the human body contains 209 bones, 19x11.
4.LANGMAN'S MEDICAL EMBRYOLOGY, by T. W. Sadler, is used as a textbook in most of the Medical Schools in the U.S.A. On Page 88 of the Fifth edition, we read the following statement: "In general the length of pregnancy for a full term fetus is considered to be 280 days or 40 weeks after onset of the last menstruation, or more accurately, 266 days or 38 weeks after fertilization." The numbers 266 and 38 are both multiples of 19.
THE PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." Such are corrupt; they do abominable deeds; there is not one who does good. The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be one who is wise and seeks God. All alike have gone astray.... [Psalm 14:1-3]
Mathematical composition of a literary work is a totally new concept, though we now realize it has existed for centuries in sacred writings. Since it is a new concept, a brief explanation may be of help.
MATHEMATICALLY COMPOSED LITERATURE
Suppose you are asked to write a book with the stipulation that: 1.Chapter 3 is to contain exactly 532 of the letter `S'.2.Chapter 8 is to contain exactly 209 B's, and 779 T's.3.Chapter 6 is to contain exactly 133 of the letter combination `ING.'4.And the total number of sentences must be exactly 57,152.
You will then try to write this hypothetical book, carefully counting and keeping track of those letters and the number of sentences in order to conform with the specifications given to you. As you conform to these specifications, you must write down words and sentences that make sense and tell the reader something important having to do with the subject of your book.
This is a simple example of mathematical composition. These specifications can be increased or decreased to create varying degrees of complexity. The specific counts of certain letters, numbers of specific phrases, numbers of sentences and totals of verse numbers can soon become so interlocking that it becomes virtually impossible to compose such a book.
CODED SCRIPTURE
Mathematically composed liturgies were reported by Rabbi Judah the Pious in the 11th century. To my knowledge, a recent analysis of the Torah has not been done to see if this code is still intact in the entire scripture, but we have already discussed indications that there have been some alterations in the Torah, at the very least in reference to the sons of Abraham.
These alterations would have seriously disrupted the code. The Gospels have been shown to have many problems in their transmission to us. In their present form, they are not good candidates at all for such an analysis.
The Quran, which was revealed in A.D. 610-630, is the only scripture that is known to still exist in its original language, and form. It is also the only book known to be mathematically coded throughout.
All the parameters of the Quran-the numbers and sequences of chapters; the number of verses; the numbers assigned to each verse; the number of words; the number of certain specified letters; the number of words from the same root; the number and variety of divine names; the absence of one or more letters from a word, verse or chapter; the unique and often strange spellings of certain crucial words; and many other elements-are all authenticated by its mathematical code.
HOW IT WAS DISCOVERED
How was this code discovered in the Quran? Before we can answer that question we need to know a little about a unique feature in Quran-a phenomenon not found in any other literature.
Twenty-nine chapters of the Quran are prefixed with certain letters of the Arabic alphabet, or `Quranic Initials.' Ever since the Quran was revealed more than 14 centuries ago, Muslim and orientalist scholars have been trying to decipher the meaning and possible significance of these mysterious Quranic initials, but to no avail.
They remained a mystery to all. Finally, a Muslim scientist and computer expert named Rashad Khalifa entered the Quran into the computer in hopes of finding some pattern which would explain these initials. Khalifa, a Ph.D. chemist, later on the roster of scientists called `Technical Assistance Experts' with the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), began his computer study as part of the research for his translation of the Quran into English.
The result of his extensive research was the discovery of an intricate mathematical system which pervades the whole Quran and governs every possible parameter, including its initials. Dr. Khalifa's discovery is extremely significant, especially since it matches the findings of Rabbi Judah the Pious.
The common denominator of the Quran's mathematical code, the number nineteen, was reported by Rabbi Judah "in the liturgy, in the Scripture, in nature, in historical events and throughout the universe." Thus, God's `signature,' the number nineteen, encodes and guarantees every letter and every parameter of the Quran, and intact portions of the Torah.
It also places the Creator's stamp on our own creation, on major historical events, on the sun/moon/earth interactions and throughout the universe.
WESTERN KNOWLEDGE OF THE CODE
Why haven't you heard about this? Here in the West, Rashad Khalifa's work has not received the attention it deserves. Only two `Western' comments on his momentous discovery are noteworthy.
The first comment appeared in the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN of September 1980. Martin Gardner wrote of Khalifa's initial publication in the West: I later discovered that the author of this monograph, Rashad Khalifa, is an Egyptian who received a doctorate in biochemistry from an American university, where he also taught for a time. His monograph was published privately in the U.S. in 1972....
Dr. Khalifa's monograph attempts to show that 19 appears throughout the Koran too often to be there by chance.
The number of suras in the Koran is 114, a multiple of 19. A famous verse called the Basmala ("In the name of Allah, most gracious, most merciful"), which opens every sura but one, has 19 letters.
Its first word (ism) appears 19 times in the Koran. The second word (Allah) is found 2,698, or 142 x 19, times. The number of times the third word (al-Rahman) appears is 57, which is also a multiple of 19, as is the number of times the fourth word (al-Raheem) appears, 114.
It's an ingenious study of the Quran, but it could have been more impressive if Khalifa had consulted me before he wrote it. Nineteen is an unusual prime. For example, it's the sum of the first powers of 9 and 10 and the difference between the second powers of 9 and 10. (Scientific American, Sept. 1980, p. 22)
Three years later the Canadian Council on the Study of Religion reported in its QUARTERLY REVIEW of April 1983 that the code Khalifa discovered is "an authenticating proof of the divine origin of the Quran." Since 1983, little notice has been taken of this work.
In spite of that, Dr. Khalifa's work has been published in the United States in six books:
1.MIRACLE OF THE QURAN: Significance of the Mysterious Alphabets, Islamic Productions, St. Louis, Missouri, 1973.
2.THE COMPUTER SPEAKS: God's Message to the World, Renaissance Productions, Tucson, Arizona, 1981.
3.QUR'AN: The Final Scripture, Islamic Productions, Tucson, Arizona, 1981.
4.QURAN: VISUAL PRESENTATION OF THE MIRACLE, Ibid, 1982.
5.QUR'AN, HADITH AND ISLAM, Ibid, 1982. 6.QURAN: The Final Testament, Ibid, 1989.
MIDEASTERN KNOWLEDGE OF THE CODE
In the Middle East, the story is a little different. Beginning in the late sixties, this work received wide publicity throughout the Islamic world, rendering Khalifa's name a household word.
By the end of 1973, Rashad Khalifa had become a popular hero, commanding full-house audiences as he lectured at the universities, mosques, organizations, and even royal and presidential palaces. However, his discovery led to unavoidable conclusions which ran contrary to certain basic beliefs of the traditional Muslim clergy.
These conclusions boil down to a total rejection of the `Islamic traditions' which have been added onto the religion over the centuries, and a return to the pure teachings of Quran alone. Consequently, Khalifa's popularity was reversed and his life threatened in a number of Muslim countries.
Before Khalifa incurred the wrath of the Muslim clergy, many popular magazines and newspapers in the Middle East, from Morocco to Pakistan, reported his discoveries.
Millions of summaries in pamphlet and bulletin form are still secretly circulating among the Muslims of the world. Khalifa's first publicized report appeared in the most popular magazine of the Middle East, Egypt's AKHERSA (January 24, 1973).
Updates of his research were subsequently published by the same magazine (November 28, 1973 and December 31, 1975).
Many other magazines and newspaper articles by and about Khalifa appeared throughout the world in many languages.
Then, very early in the morning on January 31, 1990, Rashad Khalifa's life was taken by one or more assassins who had broken into his office in Tucson, Arizona, and waited for him.
There is no doubt that his life was taken in an attempt to stem the growing rejection of distorted Islamic tradition and a return to the Quran alone-a movement which he spearheaded.
DETAILS INTRODUCED
The Quran was recorded as it was revealed-in fragments which were separated in both time and place, and positioned like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle into the final scripture. Since the order of revelation is different from the order of final position, two consecutive verses may be separated by as much as two years and 300 miles according to their chronological revelation.
THE CODE - SIMPLE FACTS
Though the code was initially discovered by examining the occurrences of Quranic initials in the initialed chapters of Quran, there is a large number of much less complex parameters to the code. Here is a brief listing of some of them:
1.There are 114 chapters in the Quran, or 19 x 6.
2.The total number of verses in the Quran is 6346, or 19 x 334.
3.Then you add the 30 different numbers which are mentioned in the Quran's text (i.e. one God, two brothers, etc.), the total is 162146 or 19 x 8534.
4.The first statement in Quran, "In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful" consists of 19 Arabic letters. Known as the `Basmalah', it prefaces every chapter except Chapter 9.
5.Though missing from Chapter 9, exactly 19 chapters later the Basmalah occurs twice. Chapter 27 has this statement at its beginning and in verse 30. This makes the total number of times the Basmalah occurs in the Quran 114, or 19 x 6.
6.Since there are 19 chapters between the missing Basmalah and the extra one, the sum of those chapter numbers is a multiple of 19. (The sum of any 19 consecutive numbers is a multiple of 19.) But the total, 342, is also the exact number of words between the two occurrences of the Basmalah in Chapter 27. This number, 342, is 19 x 18.
7.Every word in the Basmalah occurs throughout the Quran a number of times which is a multiple of 19.
8.The very first revelation that was given to the prophet of Islam, Mohammed, came as 19 words.
9.The total number of letters making up the 19 words of the first revelation is 76, 19 x 4.
10.Though they were the first revelation, these verses are placed at the beginning of Chapter 96. This chapter is atop the last 19 chapters.
11.Chapter 96 consists of 304 Arabic letters, or 19 x 16.
12.The last chapter revealed (Chapter 110) has 19 words, and its first verse is 19 letters.
13.God's name in Arabic, `Allah,' occurs in the Quran 2698 times, or 19 x 142.
14.If you add the numbers of the verses where `Allah' occurs, the total is 118123 or 19 x 6217.
15.The main message in the Quran is that there is only One God. The number of times that the word `one' is used to refer to this concept of One God is 19.
16.The word `Quran' occurs in 38 different chapters, or 19 x 2.
17.The total number of times `the Quran' is mentioned is 57, 19 x 3.
18.Within the 114 chapters of the Quran, 29 of them begin with the Quranic initials discussed earlier. Intermixed between the first initialed chapter (Chapter 2) and the last initialed chapter (Chapter 68) are 38 non-initialed chapters, or 19 x 2.
19.In that same group of chapters, from Chapter 2 to Chapter 68, there are 19 alternating sets of initialed and non-initialed chapters.
20.The total number of verses making up this group of chapters is 5263, 19 x 277.
21.Within this group of chapters there are also 2641 occurrences of the word `Allah', or 19 x 139. Of course, that leaves 57, or 19 x 4, occurrences of that word outside of this group.
22.If you add the chapter and verse numbers of the 57 occurrences of `Allah' outside the initialed section, the total is 2432 or 19 x 128.
23.There are a large number of discoveries having to do with the numbers of the chapters and verses. Many of them are very complex and interrelated. Here is a simple one to give you a feel for these discoveries: If you add the numbers assigned to all the chapters, plus the numbers assigned to all of the verses, plus the number of verses in the Quran, the total is 346199 or 19 x 19 x 959.
24.If you look at the initialed chapters separately and add the chapter numbers, verse numbers and number of verses, the total is 190133, 19 x 10007. Of course it follows that the total for the uninitialed chapters, 156066, is also divisible by 19.
There are a great many more discoveries, most of them more complex than the ones presented above. Additional discoveries continue to be made as Dr. Khalifa's work is carried on by the many students of pure Quran he left behind. You may already be convinced that this interlocking occurrence of the number 19 is too frequent to be accidental. If not, the next section dealing with the Quranic initials should dispel your doubts.
QURANIC INITIALS
As we discussed earlier in this chapter, it was the search for an explanation of the Quranic Initials which led to the discovery of the code imbedded in the Arabic text of this scripture. These initials exhibit many aspects of the code, when looked at as individual sets and when looked at as a whole.
Let us begin by looking at the initials which use a single letter. The first one we will examine is the initial which has the English transliteration of `Q'. THE INITIAL `Q.' (Qaaf)There are several special phenomena having to do with the initial Q.
Perhaps it can be seen as standing for Quran. This is especially so since there are two Q-initialed chapters, each with 57 (19 x 3) Q's in them. Thus, the total of Q's in both chapters is 114 (19 x 6), the same number as the number of chapters in the Quran.
The fact that both Q-initialed chapters contain exactly 57 Q's is quite remarkable because the first of them (Chapter 42) is more than twice as long as the second (Chapter 50). There is another remarkable phenomenon in the sum of the number of each chapter with the number of verses in that chapter.
Chapter 42 has 53 verses; 42 plus 53 is 95, 19 x 5. If we look at the other Q-initialed chapter, 50, it has 45 verses; 50 plus 45 is also 95. THE INITIAL `N.' (Noon)This initial prefixes only one chapter, number 68. The total number of occurrences of N in this chapter is 133, or 19 x 7. THE INITIAL `?.' (Saad)? prefixes three different chapters, 7, 19 and 38.
The total occurrences of ? in these three chapters taken together is 152, or 19 x 8. Most of the time the initials occur together in sets. Next, we will examine some of these sets. THE INITIALS `Y.S.' (Ya Seen)These two initials are found at the beginning of Chapter 36.
The number of times that these two letters appear in this chapter is 285, or 19 x 15. THE INITIALS `H.M.' (Haa Meem)This set of initials is found initializing the seven consecutive chapters 40 through 46. The total occurrence of these two in all of these chapters is 2147, or 19 x 113. THE INITIALS `Á.S.Q.' (Ayn Seen Qaf)Chapter 42 is the only chapter with a set of initials (H.M.) in the first verse and another (Á.S.Q.) in verse two.
The number of times the letters of this second set of initials are in Chapter 42 is 209, or 19 x 11.
CONCLUSION
There are more sets of initials which we could discuss. All of them exhibit similar phenomena to those we have examined. Much more detail is contained in the appendix of this book.
From this short presentation, it is easy to see that the substitution or removal of any word containing one of the initials in an initialed chapter would break the code in that chapter.
As the initials become more complex, the difficulty of writing readable and meaningful sentences increases. In some cases the only way that the code could have been written into the Quran was for the language to have been invented around it!
The patterns exhibited in the initialed chapters added to the simpler parameters discussed earlier make an awesome network of coding which pervades the very fabric of the Quran. All this clearly required divine control.
Why 19 ? - United Submitters International
In the Name of God ,Most Gracious, Most Merciful
When told about the mathematical miracle of the Quran and how it is related to number 19 , many people ask : Why 19?!
If it was 17 or 21, they would have asked the same question, WHY 21 ? or Why 17 ?. But of course there is more than one reason for that choice.
Number 19 as we know by now is mentioned in the Quran in Sura 74 verse 30. God even told us the significance of this number in 74:31.
The student of the scriptures will find enough evidence that the mathematical code, based on number 19, was used for the previous scripture as well. See: Short history and review of the Mathematical Miracle of the Quran.
Since distortion changed the whole face of the old scripture we were left only with the Quran as the only preserved word of God. It is God's choice for this to happen. 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.
The number 19 possesses unique mathematical properties, for example:
1-It is a prime number , only divides by itself and one.
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-Its {numerals} look the same in all languages in the world.The numerals (1) and (9) look very much the same in , for example Arabic and English.
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.
5-Number 19 is the numerical 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.
The word "ONE" "Wahid" in reference to God, in the Quran, is used 19 times. Is it a co-incidence?
The number 19 itself has no power and has no holiness, and can lead you no where. It is the Miracle that is based on this number that has the significance. This significance is explained clearly by God Almighty Himself in 74:30-31.
74:30-31 states the following
"Over it is nineteen." " We appointed angels to be guardians of Hell, and we assigned THEIR NUMBER (i.e.19)
(1) to disturb the disbelievers.
(2) to convince the Christians and Jews (that this is a 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; they will say," What did God mean by this allegory ?" God thus sends astray whomever He wills, and guides whomever He wills, None knows the soldiers of your Lord except He. THIS IS A REMINDER FOR THE PEOPLE." 74:30-31
Number 19 Based Calculations in the Quran - Ijaz Chaudry
INTRODUCTION
Quran is a book, which guides to the religion of Islam. It is a unique book, because this is the final word of God on earth. This means that no more revelations will come down to earth from God. Because of this nature of the book, it is structured in such a way so that, any generation, past, present or future can read it and ascertain the knowledge, which it want, to share. And this knowledge would be relevant to that generation.
The structure of the Quran is such that the content of the Quran is clear to any reader, from past, present or future time. The Quran does this for example by not mentioning the names of the messengers it is addressing, some of the times. This is because at the time of Muhammad there was no mention of the messenger of the Covenant called Dr. Rashad Khalifa, thus if his name was included in the Quran then it would have created confusion at the time of Muhammad. However, some verses are specific to Muhammad, and some are specific to Dr. Rashad Khalifa. This point can create confusion or at least a trace of doubt to the matter of knowing which messenger God is referring to in these verses.
In order to avoid this confusion God has provided the Submitters (Muslims) with a tool. This tool was first discovered in, this generation by the messenger of the Covenant, Dr. Rashad Khalifa. And it is described in (74:30-31);
The Quran's Common Denominator
[74:30-31] Over it is nineteen. We appointed angels to be guardians of Hell, and we assigned their number (19)
(1) To disturb the disbelievers,
(2) To convince the Christians and Jews (that this is a 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 harbour doubt in their hearts, and the disbelievers; they will say, "What did GOD mean by this allegory?" GOD thus sends astray whomever He wills, and guides whomever He wills. None knows the soldiers of your Lord except He. This is a reminder for the people.
Above are all the attributes and qualities of the number 19, however in my calculations number 4 above plays significant part, i.e. (4) To remove all traces of doubt from the hearts of Christians, Jews as well as the believers.
Thus number 19 being the common denominator of the Quran plays an important role in revelations of the Quran, without any trace of doubt or confusion. So how does this work!
Various methods of calculation;
To verify place, name, thing or any entity important to the context of the verses one is reading, one can use the following method; Say the entity is “v” the verse or verses in which the entity is mentioned but not named e.g. a messenger are “x”, the chapter of these verses is “c”, then we can find ourselves doing following calculations in order to validate this entity;
1) x c v / 19 = whole number
2) c v x / 19 = whole number
3) (c + v + x) / 19 = whole number
4) Where there are more then one verse add all the verses and do the above calculations.
If any one of the above is true, that is that the answer is a whole number then that entity, which you had doubt about, you might have been 90% sure before, now you can be 100% sure, that entity x is the subject of these verses.
5) Sometimes all the calculations above are done but without the chapter numbers. These are special circumstances where that verse or verses are unique in the whole Quran. For example a messenger is specifically asked to do something in those verses but not mentioned else where in the Quran.
A similar method is also used however, without using the geometric value of the entity; There might be a verse or verses which may not be obvious, to what it means, however in another part of the Quran there might be similar verse or verses talking about the same or similar subject, and clarifying the verse or verses which was not obvious before.
In this situation one can use the following method; Say the chapter and verse/verses which are in doubt are “Cx” and “Vx”, respectively and the verse/verses and chapter which clarifies are “Cy” and “Vy” then the following calculations can be done on the above;
1) Cx Vx Cy Vy / 19 = whole number
2) Cy Vy Cx Vx / 19 = whole number
3) All the verses added if more then one verse separately .i.e. Vxs and Vys Cy Vys Cx Vxs/ 19 = whole number
4) Same as 3 accept rearrange it Cx Vxs Cy Cxs / 19 = whole number
5) (Cy + Vy + Cx + Vy) / 19 = whole number
Entity and geometric value;
Any entity used above has geometric value for it and that is what is used in the calculation. So what is the geometric value, at the time of the revelation of the Quran, there were no numbers, however, the Arabic alphabets had associated values to it. Each letter had one value e.g. the first letter in Arabic had value of 1, second of 2 etc.
These are called, geometric values. Each entity is first translated into Arabic and then converted into its geometric value by adding the values attached to the alphabets used in the name of the entity. This, method of calculation was discovered by Dr. Rashad Khalifa, who first used it last century to identify his messenger ship. I, have since used it as well, see examples later.
How are these calculations authentic;
[4:26] GOD wills to explain things for you, and to guide you through past precedents, and to redeem you. GOD is Omniscient, Most Wise.
[6:34] Messengers before you have been rejected, and they steadfastly persevered in the face of rejection. They were persecuted until our victory came to them. Such is God’s system that will never change. The history of My messengers thus sets the precedents for you.
[33:37] Recall that you said to the one who was blessed by GOD, and blessed by you, "Keep your wife and reverence GOD," and you hid inside yourself what GOD wished to proclaim. Thus, you feared the people, when you were supposed to fear only GOD. When Zeid was completely through with his wife, we had you marry her, in order to establish the precedent that a man may marry the divorced wife of his adopted son. GOD's commands shall be done.
(4:26) Tells, us that God guides us through past precedents, (33:37) is an example where God is setting precedent through Muhammad, and finally (6:34) tells us the messengers history is precedent for us.
So what precedent am I following, I am using similar methods used by Dr. Rashad Khalifa did with his calculations, only that I have refined his methods and added statistical verification to the codes so that believers could used this methodology when they need to and verify the codes to check if it is a genuine code or fake code. More over, there is overwhelming evidence that these methods work, observe the few example I could put in this article.
Statistical Analysis;
Temporal Connection;
Based on several codes a Temporal connection has been observed. Temporal (relating to time in this life) connection is basically categorising code into individual time zones.
The trend is that all codes starting from left and continuing towards right the context of the code relates to most recent to most ancient respectively (see examples later).

The first table shows how to calculate the Position and Level for any 19 based multiple code the two rows have 19 multiples starting from 19 and ending with 380 in total of 20 numbers. Fundamentally one needs to divide 19 multiple code with 190 this gives decimal answer except every 10th element in each row of ten.
The decimal value constitutes the position which is always the same for each column except for the tenth column where we do not have Position because there is no decimal value. This tenth element (whole number) has specific value which we will talk about later.
If you look at the decimal values you will see that first column both rows have value of ?.1 which means both rows have the Position 1 this relationship exist for all columns and also for any 19 multiple code.
The second table describes what each Position mean, this again is based on several codes derived from the Quran.
Now the tenth value in the above rows has the value called level and if the code when divided by 190 gives us whole number has a value of wild card.
This means that the code is true for any one of the above descriptions or all descriptions based on what the context of the verses and entities are (See examples later).
Detailed example of Position 1 with Temporal connection;
[5:38] The thief, male or female, you shall mark their hands as a punishment for their crime, and to serve as an example from GOD. GOD is Almighty, Most Wise.
[5:39] If one repents after committing this crime, and reforms, GOD redeems him. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
[12:31] When she heard of their gossip, she invited them, prepared for them a comfortable place, and gave each of them a knife. She then said to him, "Enter their room." When they saw him, they so admired him, that they cut their hands.* They said, "Glory be to GOD, this is not a human being; this is an honourable angel."
These verses are definitely connected e.g. 5:38-39 is a punishment for those who steal in the Quran, the word used is cut their hands, however, 12:31 also uses the same word cut their hands, however, this is the instance where the neighbouring women saw Joseph for the first time and they were smitten by his looks and cut their hands.
It is obvious that they did not amputate their hands, thus the word cut is less severe and it means mark in 5:38-39, but how can we prove this, using our method we concatenate 5:38-39 to 12:31 and the number is completely multiple of 19, once again proving our point that marking hand in 5:38-39 is the correct punishment for a thief 12 31 5 38 39= 6481781*19 or 12 31 5 38 39 / 190 = 648178.1.
The Temporal connection is 12:31 describes how severe is the cut (i.e. mark) this is more recent because it applies to today’s generation however 5:38-39 has been used in the past i.e. without knowing the severity of “Cut” i.e. amputating the hands.. Position 1 is scenarios and indeed all verses in the code is describing different scenarios.
Some brief examples;Salat, thus we know the structure now, the Mughrib code uses addition of chapter and verses with how many each read it would be as follows;
3 + 1 + 3 + 56 + 74 + 6 + 87 + 1 + 2 + 17 + 111 = 361 = 19 x 19 or 361 / 190 = 19.
Salat, thus we know the structure now, the Mughrib code uses addition of chapter and verses with how many each read it would be as follows;
3 + 1 + 3 + 56 + 74 + 6 + 87 + 1 + 2 + 17 + 111 = 361 = 19 x 19 or 361 / 190 = 19.
Salat, thus we know the structure now, the Mughrib code uses addition of chapter and verses with how many each read it would be as follows;
3 + 1 + 3 + 56 + 74 + 6 + 87 + 1 + 2 + 17 + 111 = 361 = 19 x 19 or 361 / 190 = 19.
Position 1 with example;
Multiple = 19;
(9:3) & (5:2)
9+3+5+2=19
19 / 190 = 0.1
Position 1
(9:3) & (5:2) both these are representing scenarios, i.e. plan to be followed.
[5:2] O you who believe, do not violate the rites instituted by GOD, nor the Sacred Months, nor the animals to be offered, nor the garlands marking them, nor the people who head for the Sacred Shrine (Ka`bah) seeking blessings from their Lord and approval. Once you complete the pilgrimage, you may hunt.* Do not be provoked into aggression by your hatred of people who once prevented you from going to the Sacred Masjid. You shall cooperate in matters of righteousness and piety; do not cooperate in matters that are sinful and evil. You shall observe GOD. GOD is strict in enforcing retribution.
[9:3] A proclamation is herein issued from GOD and His messenger to all the people on the great day of pilgrimage, that GOD has disowned the idol worshipers, and so did His messenger. Thus, if you repent, it would be better for you. But if you turn away, then know that you can never escape from GOD. Promise those who disbelieve a painful retribution.
Position 2 with Example;
Multiple = 228
(52:48) & (17:111)
228 or 19 x 12
228 /190 = 1.2
Position 2
(52:48) Word command used in this verse
[52:48] You shall steadfastly persevere in carrying out your Lord's command - you are in our eyes - and glorify and praise your Lord when you get up.
Multiple = 228
(22:1-2) & (22:5)
1+2+5 = 8
22 8 or 12 x 19
228 / 190 = 1.2
Position 2
(22:1-2 & 5) The day of Judgement will happen on God’s command
[22:1] O people, you shall reverence your Lord, for the quaking of the Hour is something horrendous.
[22:2] The day you witness it, even a nursing mother will discard her infant, and a pregnant woman will abort her fetus. You will see the people staggering, as if they are intoxicated, even though they are not intoxicated. This is because GOD's retribution is so awesome.
[22:5] O people, if you have any doubt about resurrection, (remember that) we created you from dust, and subsequently from a tiny drop, which turns into a hanging (embryo), then it becomes a fetus that is given life or deemed lifeless. We thus clarify things for you. We settle in the wombs whatever we will for a predetermined period.* We then bring you out as infants, then you reach maturity.
While some of you die young, others live to the worst age, only to find out that no more knowledge can be attained beyond a certain limit. Also, you look at a land that is dead, then as soon as we shower it with water, it vibrates with life and grows all kinds of beautiful plants.
Now the Level based code Example;
The following code represents the structure of Mughrib salat starts with 3 occurrences of recitation of Chapter 1 (second number) then 3 occurrences chapter 56 verse 74 i.e. saying Subhana Rubuel Adheem and so on when these attributes of salat are added together they are complete multiple of 19 and also 190. Confirming the correct structure and what to recite in this salat. So the level 19 is suggesting three things (wild card) that salat is “Gift from God” Position 5 and is “Act of Righteousness” Position 4 it could also describe Position 3 “Principle or Rule clarified”. For further details see article on “Salat”.
3 + 1 + 3 + 56 + 74 + 6 + 87 + 1 + 2 + 17 + 111 = 361 = 19 x 19 or 361 / 190 = 19.
Another Trend in Codes;
A trend has been noticed in the codes that when the code is concatenated code with geometric value of a dead messenger, when the gv of the messenger appears left most in the code then this code is prominent for this and future generations, however, if the gv appears on the right then the context of the code would have been more prominent at the time of the messenger. Following are two examples illustrating this point.
80:1-10 (He Frowned)This is a famous instance which happened to Muhammad, where he slipped up and he was reprimanded for it, however it is not clear if that is indeed Muhammad. Therefore using our method in A) we add the verses 1 to 10 we get 55, now if we concatenate the geometric value of Muhammad and the chapter number with 55 we get number multiple of 19. This removes the doubt and establishes the fact that the person addressed above indeed is Muhammad.
92 80 55 = 48845 * 19. or 92 80 55 / 190 = 4884 / 5
Temporal connection gv Muhammad left most because he is alive in heaven now and verses 80:1-10 happened previously. The code where messengers from past appear most recent are codes which are specific to this generation this is based on the trends of the codes.
Position 5 describes “Gift from God”, initially when we look at 80:1-10 it does not appear a gift, but when you look at it as an example then it makes sense that it is a gift. Because in God’s kingdom even a messenger is not away from a reprimand and the only God is the omnipotent and no one else. Hence Muhammad would not have got away with mistreating his people just because he was close to God. When God is in control this is great relief that no one is above God and that God is Just.
The following code represents a fact that 17:5 is referring to conquering of Mecca by Muhammad for full explanation read article “Fall and Rise of Romans”. It was around 632 AD, when Mecca was conquered, take this date concatenate it with chapter number and verse and geometric value of Muhammad, we get number completely multiple of 19;
17 5 92 632 = 925928 * 19 or 17 5 92 632 / 190 = 92592 / 8
Temporal connection 17:5 has already happened therefore this is the present situation, gv 92 appears next who were the powerful people Muhammad and his followers when did it happen long time ago 632 AD.
Position 8 describes “Issues” this code might be an issue for most people because this is hard to believe, it is generally thought that this verse is talking about previous to Muhammad and has nothing to do with Mecca and Muhammad.
Because of the Temporal connection where gv of Muhammad is not left most this code was more prominent at the time of Muhammad, however is used as an example here. And indeed this prophecy at the time of Muhammad would have enlightened many believers.
