Appendix 1
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.
SIMPLE TO UNDERSTAND IMPOSSIBLE TO IMITATE
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 19x142. The total sum of verse numbers for all verses
containing the word "God" is 118123, also a multiple of 19 (118123 =
19x6217).
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.
THE SIMPLE FACTS
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:
1. The first verse (1:1),known as "Basmalah," consists of 19 letters.
2. The Quran consists of 114 suras, which is ..............19 x 6.
3. The total number of verses in the Quran is 6346, or ....19 x 334.
[6234 numbered verses & 112 un-numbered verses
(Basmalahs) 6234+112 = 6346] Note that 6+3+4+6 =.......19.
4. The Basmalah occurs 114 times, despite its conspicuous
absence from Sura 9 (it occurs twice in Sura 27) & 114= 19x6.
5. From the missing Basmalah of Sura 9 to the extra
Basmalah of Sura 27, there are precisely ...............19 suras.
6. It follows that the total of the sura numbers from
9 to 27 (9+10+11+12+...+26+27) is 342, or .............19 x 18.
7. This total (342) also equals the number of words
between the two Basmalahs of Sura 27, and 342 = ........19 x 18.
8. The famous first revelation (96:1-5) consists of .......19 words.
9. This 19-worded first revelation consists of 76 letters .19 x 4.
10. Sura 96, first in the chronological sequence, consists
of .....................................................19 verses.
11. This first chronological sura is placed atop the last ..19 suras.
12. Sura 96 consists of 304 Arabic letters, and 304 equals .19 x 16.
13. The last revelation (Sura 110) consists of ............19 words.
14. The first verse of the last revelation (110:1) consists
of ....................................................19 letters.
15. 14 different Arabic letters, form 14 different sets of
"Quranic Initials" (such as A.L.M. of 2:1), and prefix
29 suras. These numbers add up to 14+14+29 = 57 = ......19 x 3.
16. The total of the 29 sura numbers where the Quranic
Initials occur is 2+3+7+...+50+68 = 822, and 822+14
(14 sets of initials) equals 836, or ................. 19 x 44.
17. Between the first initialed sura (Sura 2) and the last
initialed sura (Sura 68) there are 38 un-initialed suras 19 x 2.
18. Between the first and last initialed sura there are ....19 sets
of alternating "initialed" and "un-initialed" suras.
19. The Quran mentions 30 different numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 19, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80,
99, 100, 200, 300, 1000, 2000, 3000, 5000, 50,000, &
100,000. The sum of these numbers is 162146, which equals 19x8534.
This is a condensed summary of the Simple Facts.
THE LITERARY MATHEMATICAL COMPOSITION
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:
