Awesome Confirmation of all Counts

The Quran is characterized by a unique phenomenon never found in any human authored book: There are some suras that are prefixed by various letters. The significance of these letters, known as the “Quranic Initials,” remained a divinely guarded secret for 14 centuries. As it turned out, these initials constitute a major portion of the Quran’s 19-based mathematical miracle.

There are 29 suras that are prefixed with the initials which consist of 14 different sets. Each set may include from one to five letters. Please refer to Appendix 1 of the English Translation of the Quran by Dr. Rashad Khalifa, QURAN, THE FINAL TESTAMENT, for complete details of these Quranic initials.

In the previous issue of the S.P., it was shown that the specific letters used as initials prefixing the 29 suras are part of the mathematical system of the Quran, and that their numbers as reported by Dr. Rashad Khalifa are indeed correct. This mathematical phenomenon will be repeated again below.

Let us take all 114 suras in Quran, and write down the following in this order:

   1) Sura number,

   2) The number of initials in that sura,

   3) The gematrical value of each initial in that sura.

If a sura does not have any Quranic Initial, we put a zero for the number of initials for that sura and go to the next sura. For example, Sura 1 is written as 1 0, because it does not have any initials. Sura 2, on the other hand, is written as 2 3 1 30 40, where 2 is the sura number, 3 is the number of initial letters, 1 30 40 are the gematrical values of the letters A, L, M ( In Arabic Aleef, Laam, Meem ).

We continue this process until we write the information for each one of the 114 suras in the Quran, all in one line, to make up a long number. The last two numbers of this long number are 114 0, representing Sura 114 with no initial letters. This long number is abbreviated below to show you the process.

The above number is 488 digits long and is a multiple of 19. Now, let us take this number and add another feature to it, by writing for each initialed sura the following in this order:

   1) Sura number,

   2) The number of initials in that sura,

   3) The gematrical value of each initial in that sura.

   4) The total gematrical value of the initials occurring throughout that sura.

In order to get the last item in the list, take the frequencies of each initial in a sura and multiply them by the corresponding gematrical value of the initial. For example, Sura 2 has 3 initials, A, L, M, which occur in that sura 4502, 3202, and 2195 times, respectively. The total gematrical value of these letters is 188362. This number is calculated as follows:

  (4502 x 1) + (3202 x 30) + (2195 x 40) = 188362.

Based on the information for each sura, we then write the entire number as shown below. Note that if a sura has no initials, we do not have to change anything.

The above number is 627 digits long and is a multiple of 19. Again, let us take this number and include yet another feature with it, by writing for each initialed sura the following in this order:

   1) Sura number, 

   2) The number of initials in that sura,

   3) The gematrical value of each initial in that sura.

   4) The total frequency of the initials occurring throughout that sura.

   5) The Total gematrical value of the occurring throughout that sura.

We then write the entire number in abbreviated form as shown below.

The above number is 722 digits long and is a multiple of 19. Now, let us take this number and remove the gematrical values of each initial from it. Thus, we write for each initialed sura the following in this order:

  1) Sura number,

  2) The number of initials in that sura,

  3) The total frequency of the initials occurring throughout that sura. 

  4) The total gematrical value of the initials occurring throughout that sura.

The entire number then becomes:

The above number is 582 digits long and is a multiple of 19. Now, let us take this number and replace the total frequency of the initials with the frequency of each initial. Thus, 9899 for Sura 2 is replaced by 4502 3202 2195, the frequency of the initials A, L, M., and so on. We then write the entire number in abbreviated form as shown below, using the same guidelines as above.

The resultant number is 711 digits long, and again is a multiple of 19. These mathematical phenomena are further assurance that the frequency of the initials reported by Dr. Rashad Khalifa in his English translation of the Quran is indeed correct.
