Mathematical Miracle of Quran

How this mathematical miracle of the Quran was discovered? When I came to this country, the United States, in 1968, I read the English translations of the Quran and I didn't like any of them. I read them all, Yusuf Ali, Muhammad Ali, Pickthall, Arberry, N. J. Dawood, and so on. All of them, even as far back as George Sale's translation. Some of them actually distorted the basic doctrines

of the Quran and that was serious enough to encourage me to translate the Quran myself, for my own children. I did it just for local consumption. However, because I'm a chemist and not a professional religionist, I decided not to move from one verse to the next unless I knew exactly what every word and every verse meant. I made a pledge to God that I will not move

from one verse to the next unless I know exactly what it meant. So, I started the translation and I finished the first Surah, Al-Fãtehah in seven days. Then, I moved on to the next verse, the first verse of Sura number two, Al-Baqarah. And I found that it consisted of only three letters: ا ل م = A.L.M. Of course, I knew this all along since I was a young child, but now I'm trying to translate it.

I wanted to know exactly what the significance of A.L.M. is. I looked up all the Tafseers, interpretations, and all the books written about these letters and everybody, all the scholars said "we do not know what these letters mean." So, I started my own research and after many attempts and many failures, I decided to put the whole Quran in the computer. I didn't know what to look for. So, I had

the computer count every letter in every Sura, and the objective was to look for any mathematical connections or any mathematical pattern between... that involves these letters. There are 29 Suras in the Quran prefixed with these initials, different sets of initials, 14 sets of initials to be exact: ا ل م, نون, ص, ق, ط س م ی س, ط ح, and so on, 14 of them. And sure enough, after 4 years of research

a mathematical pattern emerged with a common denominator binding all these initials without a single exception. And the common denominator was 19. As it turned out, and as you will see in this program, every element of the

the number of verses, the numbers assigned to the Suras, numbers of words, the letters, every letter in the Quran is mathematically composed beyond human capability. And the common denominator

that binds all these mathematical physical facts is the number 19.

So, let us get down to business and look at the Quran itself. And I would like to remind you that all the items you're going to see are factual observations. They're all physical facts in the Quran. So, here is a big Quran that we can see together and the first item of this miracle is that the first verse in the

"Bism Allah Arrahman Arraheem" consists of 19 Arabic letters. Here they are: 1, 2, 3, 4,

5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 19 letters. And the whole Quran has 114 Suras. As we see here, the last Sura is number 114, and 114 is a multiple of 19, 19 times 6. And it consists of six verses, by the way.

So, 19 times 6 gives us the total number of Suras in the Quran, 114.

Now, if we count from this Sura towards the other Suras, here is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19.

We find that number 19 is the first revelation in Quran, Sura number 96 and it says (96:1) ٱقْرَأْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ the first revelation. So, the first Sura revealed is positioned, in the Quran, atop the last 19 Suras in the Quran. You also notice that this Sura consists of 19 verses.

The first revelation was 19 words exactly. Here they are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, then go to the next page, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19. This was the first revelation through the Prophet Muhammad, and it consisted of 19 words. If you

count the letters in these 19 words, you find that the total is 76, 19 times 4.

And if you count the letters in the whole Sura, the first Sura revealed, you find that the total is 285 letters, or 19 times 15.

The last Sura revealed was Sura number 110 and it consists also of 19 words.

Here they are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19. So, the last revelation and the first revelation consisted of 19 words. Now, if you go back to the very beginning, the first verse in the Quran, as you heard before

the first verse of the Quran "Bism Allah Arrahman Arraheem" consists of 19 letters. Every word, there are four words here, and every word is mentioned in the Quran a number of times which is consistently a multiple of 19. The word "ism" which means name is mentioned in the Quran 19 times, exactly.

If you wish to use the word "Bism", it is mentioned three times, but if you add the numbers assigned to the verses and Suras where the 3 times of "Bism" occur, the total is 114, 19 times 6. The second word "Allah" is mentioned in the whole book 2698 times, or 19 times 142. The third word "Arrahman" is mentioned in the whole Quran 57 times, or 19 times 3.

The last word "Arraheem" is mentioned in the whole book 114 times, or 19 times 6.

As you see, Bism Allah Arrahman Arraheem, the first verse in the Quran is very important. And you will see it at the beginning of every Sura in the Quran.

Every Sura has this "Bism Allah Arrahman Arraheem" at the beginning except one.

However, only the first verse of the first Sura is numbered. It has number one.

When you go to the other Suras, you find that this opening statement has no number. This is why we take only the first opening statement to represent all the Bismillahs in the Quran, all the opening statements of the Quran. If you go to Sura 9, you will notice that this Sura does not have a Basmalah. It says here that this Sura does not have Bismillah.

Now, since the Quran has 114 Suras, and this one does not have an opening statement, this will mean that we have only 113 Basmalahs in the Quran, and this number is not divisible by 19. But we find that this missing Bismillah is made up in Sura number 27. So, if you go to surah number 27,

you will see that we have two "Bismillahs." This is Sura number 27, and there is one "Bism Allah Arrahman Arraheem" at the beginning, like every other surah except Sura 9 and there is an extra one in the middle of the Sura. Right here in verse 30, you'll see another "Bism Allah Arrahman Arraheem." So, this Sura contains two of them, two of the opening statement or "Basmalahs", one at the beginning and one in verse 30.

And this restores the number of this important opening statement to 114 or 19 times 6. Also, if you count the Suras from the missing Bismillah of Sura 9... see, there's the missing Bismillah of Sura 9.

And then we count the Suras from here to the place where we find the extra Bismillah. Here is one. This is number 1.

2 Suras, 3 Suras,

4, 5, 6, we are counting from the missing Bismillah to the extra Bismillah, this will be 7, 8, 9, 10, 11,

12,

13, 14, 15, 16, and 17, we didn't get to Sura 27 yet. This is 25 which is the 17th Sura from the missing

Bismillah. Here is 18, and you'll find that the Sura that has two Bismillahs, Sura number 27, is Sura number 19. From the missing "Bismillah" to the extra "Bismillah", from Sura 9 to Sura 27, we find exactly 19 Suras, inclusive.

This is the Sura that has two "Bismillahs" and it is Sura number 19 after the missing "Bismillah" of Sura 9. From the missing "Bismillah" in Sura 9 to the extra "Bismillah" in Sura 27, there are 19 Suras.

So, when you count the Suras from the missing "Bism Allah Arrahman Arraheem" of Sura 9 to the extra "Bismillah" in Sura 27, you find 19 Suras. Now, watch this: if you add the numbers of the Suras, the numbers assigned to the Suras, from 9 to 27, from the missing Bismillah to the extra Bismillah, that is 9 plus 10 plus 11 plus 12 plus 13 all the way to plus 26 plus 27,

the total is 342 which is a multiple of 19. It is 19 times 18. And this is half the story. You add the numbers of the Suras from the missing Bismillah to the extra Bismillah 9 + 10 + 11 all the way to 27 the total, 342, is exactly the number of words between the two Bismillahs of Sura 27, the number of words, as you see

here. This total, 342, is exactly the number of words between this Bismillah in Sura 27, and the second Bismillah of Sura 27. You count these words.

You count all these words and you'll find that the total, up to this word here, before the second Bismillah, up to this word, the total is 342, which equals the total of the numbers of Suras from the missing Bismillah to this extra Bismillah.

The number of verses "Ayat" in the Quran, from the beginning, from the first AYA or verse, to the very end, to the last AYA is 6346, which is a multiple of 19. The total number of AYAT, verses, in the Quran

6346, or 19 times 334.

As I mentioned before, there are 29 Suras in Quran that are initialed with these Quranic initials. And the first initial in the Quran is in Sura number two, the first verse: (الم) A.L.M. The last initial is the initial NuN (نون) in Sura number 68, which is right here.

This initial here is the last initial. This here is the first initial and this is the last initial. The number of AYAT or verses in this section here, from the first initial to the last initial, is 5263 AYAT or verses, 19 times 277. You just

start at الم (A.L.M.), the first Quranic initial, and you count all the verses in here up to this verse in Sura 68, and you'll find that the total is 5263, or 19 times 277.

Also, if you count the word "Allah" in this section between the first initial and the last initial, you'll find that the total of the word "Allah" here is 2641 which is a multiple of 19, 19 times 139. And of course, if you count the word "Allah" outside of this section, that will be here

and before الم (A.L.M.), the word "Allah" is 57 times, is found 57 times or 19 times 3.

In the section from the first initial, الم (A.L.M.) to the last initial, NuN (نون), there are exactly 38 Suras without initials. The un-initialed Suras here are 38 which is a multiple of 19, 19 times 2. So, this is another physical fact.

Now, I mentioned that outside of this section, there are 57 word "Allah." That's outside the initialed section of the Quran, in this part and this part to the end. There are 57 words "Allah." If you add the numbers of the Suras, the numbers assigned to the Suras, like this number here, and the numbers assigned to the verses, the total

is 2432, or 19 times 128. Now, I'm talking about the numbers assigned to the Suras and verses where you find the word "Allah" outside of the initialed section. You add these numbers assigned to the Suras and to the verses wherever you find the word "Allah", and the total is a multiple of 19. Well, this proves that the numbers assigned to the Suras and the numbers assigned to the verses are from God, not from humans.

The word "Al-Quran" is mentioned in the Quran 57 times. That is 19 times 3.

Isn't that profound? And if you add the numbers of the Suras and the numbers of verses, where the word the Quran is found, the total is 2660, which is 19 times 140. I'm talking about the numbers - for example, this word here, Al-Quran, is in Sura 17. See the Sura number is 17,

and the verse number is 45 as you see here. You take these numbers, the 57 times where the word Quran is found in the Quran, and you add the numbers of the verses and the numbers of the Suras, altogether, the total is 2660, or 19 times 140. There are other grammatical forms of this word "Al-Quran" like "Al-Quranan" and "Al-Quranahu" and if you add all the

Suras and all the verses, the numbers of the verses and the numbers of the Suras, where these forms, different forms of the word "Quran" is found, the grand total is 3363, or 19 times 177. Of course, the word "Quran" is very special and this is why it is so intricately composed within the Quran.

The first pillar of Islam, mainly that God is one, is mentioned in the Quran exactly 19 times, that "Allah Wahid." God is one, is mention in the Quran exactly 19 times. Now, there's also the word "Wahdahu", worship God alone.

This commandment to worship God alone "Wahdahu" is mentioned in the Quran five times, and if you add the numbers of the verses and the numbers of Suras where the word "Wahdahu" worship God alone occurs, the total is 361, or 19 times 19.

So, this emphasizes the importance of worshiping God alone. The word "Wahid" referring to God as one, is mentioned in the Quran 19 times and the word "Wahdahu" is mentioned 5 times, but when you add the verses and Suras' numbers where this word "Wahdahu" is found, the total is 361, 19 times 19.

For example, this word "Wahdahu" happens in verse 12 of Sura number 40. So, you take this number 40 and the number of the verse 12, and you do this every time you see the word "Wahdahu" in the Quran and the total is 361, 19 times 19.

The other 4 pillars of Islam, the Salat, the Zakat, the Hajj and Siyam, are mentioned in the Quran 114 times, or 19 times 6.

Now, when you take the word "Salat" for example, which happens in the Quran 67 times, and you take the numbers of verses and the numbers of the Suras where every time you see this word "Salat" and you add them up, the total is a multiple of 19. It is 4674, or 19 times 246, the word "Salat" throughout the

Quran. You add the verses and the numbers of the verses and the numbers of Suras where the word "Salat" occurs, and the total is 4674, or 19 times 246.

If you go to the word "Zakat", you find that "Zakat" and "Hajj", you add the numbers of the verses and the numbers of Suras where "Zakat" and "Hajj" are found, and the total is 2888, or 19 times 19 times 8. This is "Zakat" and "Hajj" together. You add the numbers of the verses and the numbers of the Suras

throughout the Quran where you see "Zakat" and "Hajj." When you look at the word "Siyam" in the Quran, the whole Quran, the fasting of Ramadan, you'll see that it occurs 6 times. And if you add the numbers of the verses to the numbers of the Suras, every time you see this word "Siyam" in all its forms, the total is

1387, or 19 times 37. So, the basic pillars of Islam, the numbers assigned to the Suras and verses where these words are found, all these numbers are multiples of 19.

The Sura entitled "Q" is also initialed with the letter "Q." And when you count this letter "Q", every time you see it, you count it, in the Quran, in this Sura, you'll find that the total of the letter "Q" in this Sura is 57, or 19 times 3.

Also, the only other Sura initialed with "Q", which is surah number 42 - there's the letter "Q", as an initial - contains the exact same number of "Q" as the other Sura. So, you count this "Q" and then you go and find this "Q" and count it, and so on, this is a physical fact. The total occurrence of the letter "Q" in this Q-initialed Sura is also 57, 19 times 3. Now, when you go back to Sura "Q" here, you notice that "Q"

is a symbol, or stands for Quran. "Q" stands for Quran or "Q" here stands for Quran.

And if you add the 57 "Q" of this Sura number 50, plus the 57 "Qaf" or "Q" in Sura number 42, also 57, 57 plus 57 is 114, which is exactly the same number as the Suras of Quran. 57 plus 57 equals 114, the number of Suras in Quran.

You notice that the Sura "Q" is number 50 and it consists of 45 verses. If you add the number of the Sura which is 50 to the number of verses in the Sura which is 45, the total is 95 or 19 times 5. Well, this is half the story. If you go to the only other Sura initialed with "Q" which is Sura number 42, you see that the number of verses is 53. And if you add the number of the Sura

to the number of the verses, you get exactly the same total as Sura "Q", which is 95. 42 plus 53 is 95, or 19 times 5.

And with Sura "Q", 50, the number of the Sura, plus the number of verses 45, 50 plus 45 is 95, or 19 times 5. In this Sura, the Quran is described as "Majeed." (50:1) قٓ ۚ وَٱلْقُرْءَانِ ٱلْمَجِيدِ And this word "Majeed" has its numerical value is 57, which is the number of the letter "Q" in this Sura. "Majeed", the M is 30, the

Jeem is 3, the Ya is 10, and the Daal is 4, and you add these numbers, 30, plus 3, plus 10, plus 4 - the total is 57, 19 times 3. When the Quran was revealed, there were no numbers. These letters were used as numbers. So, you can look at the "Meem" as the letter "Meem" or M, and also as the numeral 30. The same with the other

letters. So, this is a universal established system of... where the alphabet letters are used as numbers. When we go to Sura 68, which is initialed with the letter "NuN", N, if you count the letter N wherever you see it in this Sura, you find that the total is 133, 19 times 7. In the Quran, there are three

Suras initialed with the letter "Saad." The first one is Sura number 7.

It is initialed with the letters: Alef Lam Meem Saad (A.L.M.S.). The second Sura that's initialed with this letter is Sura number 19, Sura Maryam, which has five initials: Kaf Ha Ya 'Ayn Saad. So, this is the second Sura where we see the initial, the letter Saad as an initial.

The third Sura initialed with this letter is Sura number 38, which is also entitled Saad. The name of the Sura is Saad, and the initial is Saad. So, these are three Suras initialed with the letter Saad, and when you count the letter Saad in the three Suras, the total comes to 152, or 19 times 8.

There is one Sura in the Quran initialed with the letters Ya Seen, two letters, Ya and Seen. It is Sura number 36. See, the first verse is the two letters Ya and Seen. And if you count these two letters, Ya and Seen in the whole Sura, the total is 285, or 19 times 15. So, you see that consistently, the

Suras contain a number of their initials that is consistently a multiple of 19. There are 7 Suras initialed with the letters Ha and Meem, 7 consecutive Suras, beginning at Sura number 40. See, there is Sura number

40, initialed with the letters Ha Meem. The whole verse consists of just the two letters, Ha Meem, 7 consecutive Suras. This is the last one, Sura number 46. It is initialed with the letters Ha Meem.

And you count these distinctive unique letters, Ha and Meem, in the seven Suras. And you find that the total is 2147, the total of Ha plus Meem in the 7 Suras. This is 19 times 113, 2147. This means if only one letter Ha or one letter Meem was lost or added in the last 1400 years, the whole mathematical

system collapses. But as it is, you count them right now in any Quran anywhere in the world and you find that Ha and Meem in the 7 Ha Meem initialed Suras totals 2147, or 19 times 113.

Sura number 42 has two sets of initials. As you have just seen, it has the initials Ha Meem in verse one, and verse two of this Sura has the initials 'Ayn Seen Qaf, three letters, 'Ayn Seen and Qaf. And if you count these three distinct letters in this Sura, 'Ayn plus Seen plus Qaf, the total is 209

or 19 times 11. Sura number 19 has the largest or the biggest set of initials. It has five letters. This is Sura number 19, and it is initialed with five letters: Kaf Ha Ya 'Ayn Saad. And you add, you count these letters in this Sura, the five letters total: 798, or 19 times 42.

Now, I wish to remind you that the letter Saad, for example, interacts or is interlocking with the other Saad initialed Suras, Sura number seven and Surah number 38. You remember that this letter Saad in the three Saad-initialed Suras is 152, or 19 times 8, but it also is intricately intertwined with these letters in this Sura to give us a total

of 798, or 19 times 42. So, you can see that this mathematical system is far beyond human capability.

There are six Suras in the Quran initialed with these letters: Alef Laam Meem, A.L.M. They are Suras number 2, 3, 29, 30, 31, and 32. This happens to be Sura number 32. And every single one of the six Suras contains a total of these letters which is a multiple of 19, every, every one. For example, Sura

number 2 contains 9899 of these letters and that's a multiple 19, 19 times 521.

Sura number 3 also contains a multiple of 19 of these letters: Alef Laam Meem, and so on. Every one of the six Suras contains a total of Alef plus Laam plus Meem which is a multiple of 19.

There are six... there are five...

There are five Suras in the Quran initialed with these three letters: Alef Laam Ra, A.L.R. And every single one of the five Suras contains a total of Alef plus Laam plus Ra, which is a multiple of 19, every one.

Sura number seven is initialed with the four letters: Alef Laam Meem Saad, as you see here. And when you count these letters Alef plus Laam plus Meem plus Saad, in this Sura, the total comes to 5320 which is 19 times 280. And again, I wish to remind you that this letter Saad interlocks between this Sura and the

other Saad-initialed Suras, Sura number 19 and Sura number 38, and every time within the Sura, and also with its sister Suras where the letter Saad is found, the totals are consistently a multiple of 19.

Sura number 13 is initialed with the letters Alef Laam Meem Ra, four initials, Alef Laam Meem Ra. When you count these letters Alef plus Laam, plus Meem, plus Ra in this Sura, you find that the total is 1482, 19 times 78. There are five Suras in the Quran initialed with the letters

Ha, as we see in Sura 19 here, there's the letter Ha, one of the five initials in Sura 19. And then in Sura "Ta Ha" there it is, Ta Ha.

And the initials Ta Seen Meem in Sura number 26 right here, Ta Seen Meem.

And in Sura 27, it is the initials Ta Seen, right here. And Ta Seen Meem in Sura number 28, Ta Seen Meem. You count these letters in the 5 Suras and you find that the total is 1767, or 19 times 93.

People keep asking why 19? Why did God choose the number 19 as the common denominator throughout the Quran to prove every element of the Quran?

The numbers of verses, the number of Suras, the numbers of words from a certain root, the numbers of letters, the initials as you have seen, and we find the number 19 in the Quran in Sura number 74 verse number 30. We find the number 19, and we find it connected with the proof that the Quran is not human-made. Some people say the Quran is human-made.

إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا قَوْلُ ٱلْبَشَرِ (74:25) as it says in Sura number 74 verse 25. And God says the answer to these people is the number 19, as we see in verse 30 of Sura 74. Now, why 19?

It turns out that 19 is God's signature on everything He created. As to the answer to the question "why 19?", we discovered that 19 is the basic message of the Quran. Because 19 is the numerical value of the Arabic word ONE. So, the whole message of the Quran is God alone, God is one, worship God alone. And 19 is the

numerical value of the word "WAHD" (one) in Arabic. When the Quran was revealed, there were no numbers. The alphabet letters were used as numbers, and the letter "Wow" also served as the numeral 6. The letter "Alef" was 1. The letter "Ha" was 8.

And the letter "Daal" was 4. "WAHD" 6 plus 1 plus 8 plus 4, the total is 19.

And this is why 19 is the common denominator throughout the Quran, proving every aspect, every element of the Quran.
