به نام خدا، بخشنده‏‌ترين، مهربانترين

براى اولين بار در تاريخ، ما کتابى داريم با اثبات نويسندگى الهى — ترکيب رياضى ماوراء انسانى.

خوانندگان اين کتاب به آسانى ميتوانند معجزه رياضى قرآن را بررسى کنند. کلمه خدا (الله) در سراسر قرآن با حروف بزرگ و پر رنگ نوشته شده است. در گوشه سمت چپ پايين هر صفحه، مجموع تعداد دفعاتى که کلمه "خدا" از ابتداى قرآن تا آن صفحه تکرار شده است، نوشته شده. شماره نوشته شده در گوشه سمت راست پايين صفحه، مجموع شماره آياتى است که کلمه "خدا" در آنها تکرار شده است. آخرين صفحه کتاب، يعنى صفحه ۶۰۴، جمع کل تعدد تکرار کلمه "خدا" را در قرآن نشان ميدهد که ۲۶۹۸ مرتبه است، يا ۱۴۲×۱۹. مجموع شماره آياتى که دارى کلمه "خدا" است، ميشود ۱۱۸۱۲۳، اين عدد هم بر ۱۹ قابل قسمت است: (۱۱۸۱۲۳ = ۱۹×۶۲۱۷).

هنگاميکه ديدم حقيقت کلام خدا اينطور تغيير داده شده، تصميم گرفتم تا قرآن را ترجمه کنم، حداقل براى منفعت فرزندان خودم. از آنجاييکه حرفه من شيمى بود، و با وجود تاريخچه گسترده دينى من-پدر من صوفى مشهورى بود در مصر- من به خدا قسم خوردم که از آيه اى به آيه ديگر نروم مگر اينکه کاملا آنرا درک کنم.

من همه ترجمه ها و تفاسيرى را که ميتوانستم پيدا کنم خريدارى کردم، آنها را روى ميزى بزرگ قرار دادم، و ترجمه خود را آغاز کردم. اولين سوره، کليد، در چند روز کامل شد. اولين آيه از سوره ۲، "ا. ل. م." است. ترجمه اين آيه چهار سال بطول انجاميد، و مصادف شد با آشکار شدن "راز" الهى، معجزه عظيم رياضى قرآن.

اصلاعات کامپيوترى نشان داد که تنها سوره هايى که پاراف "ق" دارند، ۴۲ و ۵۰، هر دو داراى تعداد مساوى "ق" هستند، ۵۷ و ۵۷. اين اولين اشاره بود که نشان ميداد سيستم رياضى سنجيده‌اى در قرآن وجود دارد.

اسم سوره ۵۰ "ق" است و با "ق" شروع ميشود، و اولين آيه اينطور خوانده ميشود، "ق و قرآن مجيد." اين نشان ميدهد که "ق" نمانيده "قرآن" است و مجموع "ق" ها در هر دو سوره پاراف دار "ق" نشان دهنده ۱۱۴ سوره قرآن است (۵۷ + ۵۷ = ۱۱۴ = ۱۹ × ۶). اين عقيده با اين واقعيت که کلمه "قرآن" در قرآن ۵۷ مرتبه تکرار شده است محکم تر شد.

نون (ن)

اين پاراف در نوع خود بى نظير است؛ در يک سوره آمده است، ۶۸، و اسم اين حرف در نسخه اصلى با سه حرف ديکته شده است- نون- بنابراين، دو "ن" شمره ميشود. شمارش اين حرف در سوره پاراف دار-ن ۱۳۳ مرتبه است، يا ۱۹ × ۷. "ن" آخرين پاراف قرآنى است (جدول ۱) و اين واقعيت مشاهدات خاصى را بوجود مى آورد. براى مثال، تعداد آيات از اولين پاراف قرآنى (ا. ل. م. از ۲:۱) تا آخرين پاراف (ن. از ۶۸:۱) ميشود ۵۲۶۳، يا ۱۹ × ۲۷۷.

کلمه "خدا" (الله) ۲۶۴۱ (۱۹ × ۱۳۹) مرتبه در بين اولين پاراف و آخرين پاراف تکرار شده است. از آنجاييکه مجموع تکرار کلمه "خدا" ۲۶۹۸ است، در نتيجه تکرار آن در خارج از پارافهاى "ا. ل. م." از سوره ۲:۱ از يک طرف، و پاراف "ن" از سوره ۶۸:۱ از طرف ديگر، ميشود ۵۷، يا ۳ × ۱۹. جدول ۹ تا ۲۰ ثابت ميکند که پاراف "نون" بايد با دو "ن" باشد.

Y. S. (Ya Seen)

These two letters prefix Sura ۳۶. The letter “Y” occurs in this sura ۲۳۷ times, while the letter “S” (Seen) occurs ۴۸ times. The total of both letters is ۲۸۵, ۱۹ × ۱۵.

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 ۱۲:۳۶. The letter “Y” is used twice in this word, the first “Y” is subtle and the second is obvious. Sura ۳۶ 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 ۳۶. In my book QURAN: VISUAL PRESENTATION OF THE MIRACLE (Islamic Productions, ۱۹۸۲) every “Y” and “S” in Sura ۳۶ is marked with a star.

ح. م. (Ha Mim)

Seven suras are prefixed with the letters “H “ and “M ;” Suras ۴۰ through ۴۶. The total occurrence of these two letters in the seven ح. م.-initialed suras is ۲۱۴۷, or ۱۹×۱۱۳. The detailed data are shown in Table ۳. Naturally, the alteration of a single letter “H” or “M” in any of the seven ح. م.-initialed suras would have destroyed this intricate phenomenon.

ا. ل. م. (Alef Laam Mim)

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 — ۲, ۳, ۲۹, ۳۰, ۳۱, and ۳۲ — and the total occurrence of the three letters in each of the six suras is a multiple of ۱۹ [۹۸۹۹ (۱۹ × ۵۲۱), ۵۶۶۲ (۱۹ × ۲۹۸), ۱۶۷۲ (۱۹ × ۸۸), ۱۲۵۴ (۱۹ × ۶۶), ۸۱۷ (۱۹ × ۴۳), and ۵۷۰ (۱۹ × ۳۰), respectively]. Thus, the total occurrence of the three letters in the six suras is ۱۹۸۷۴ (۱۹ × ۱۰۴۶), and the alteration of one of these letters destroys this phenomenon.

Table ۴: Occurrence of the Letters "A," "L," and "M" in the ا. ل. م.-Initialed Suras.

ا. ل. م. ص. (Alef Laam Mim Saad)

Only one sura is prefixed with these initials, Sura ۷, and the letter “A” occurs in this sura ۲۵۲۹ times, “L” occurs ۱۵۳۰ times, “M” occurs ۱۱۶۴ times, and “S” (Saad) occurs ۹۷ times. Thus, the total occurrence of the four letters in this sura is ۲۵۲۹ + ۱۵۳۰ + ۱۱۶۴ + ۹۷ = ۵۳۲۰ = ۱۹ × ۲۸۰.

An important observation here is the interlocking relationship involving the letter “S” (Saad). This initial occurs also in Suras ۱۹ and ۳۸. While complementing its sister letters in Sura ۷ to give a total that is divisible by ۱۹, the frequency of this letter also complements its sister letters in Suras ۱۹ and ۳۸ to give a multiple of ۱۹ (see Page ۳۸۰).

Additionally, the Quranic Initial “S” (Saad) interacts with the Quranic Initials “K.H.Y. `A.” (Kaaf Haa Ya `Ayn) in Sura ۱۹ to give another total that is also a multiple of ۱۹ (see Page ۳۸۳). This interlocking relationship — which is not unique to the initial “S” (Saad)   contributes to the intricacy of the Quran's numerical code.

ک. ه. ى. ع. ص. (Kaaf Ha Ya `Ayn Saad)

This is the longest set of initials, consisting of five letters, and it occurs in one sura, Sura ۱۹. The letter “K” in Sura ۱۹ occurs ۱۳۷ times, “H” occurs ۱۷۵ times, “Y” occurs ۳۴۳ times, “ `A” occurs ۱۱۷ times, and “S” (Saad) occurs ۲۶ times. Thus, the total occurrence of the five letters is ۱۳۷ + ۱۷۵ + ۳۴۳ + ۱۱۷ + ۲۶ = ۷۹۸ = ۱۹ × ۴۲.

Other Mathematical Properties of the Initialed Suras

Fourteen Arabic letters, half the Arabic alphabet, participate in the formation of ۱۴ 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 (۲۹), we obtain a total of ۷۲۲, or ۱۹ × ۱۹ × ۲.

Additionally, if we add the total gematrical value of all ۱۴ initials, plus the number of the first sura where the initial occurs, we get a grand total of ۹۸۸, ۱۹ × ۵۲. Table ۸ presents these data.

Table ۱۲: Mathematical Coding of the Number of Verses with Initials

[ ۱ ] As shown earlier the word “God” occurs in the Quran ۲۶۹۸ times, ۱۹ × ۱۴۲.

[ ۲ ] The numbers of verses where the word “God” occurs add up to ۱۱۸۱۲۳, also a multiple of ۱۹ (۱۱۸۱۲۳ = ۱۹ × ۶۲۱۷).

Those who still claim that Muhammad was the author of the Quran are totally illogicalThese 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.

[ ۶ ] The word “God” occurs in ۸۵ 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 verses inclusive, the Grand Total comes to ۸۱۷۰ or ۱۹ × ۴۳۰. An abbreviated representation of the data is shown in Table ۱۹.

[ ۷ ] The Quran's dominant message is that there is only “One God.” The word “One,” in Arabic “Wahed“ occurs in the Quran ۲۵ times. Six of these occurrences refer to other than God (one kind of food, one door, etc.). The other ۱۹ occurrences refer to God. These data are found in the classic reference INDEX TO THE WORDS OF QURAN.

The crucial importance of the word "ONE" as the Quran's basic message is manifested in the fact that the Quran's common denominator ۱۹, happens to be the gematrical value of the word "ONE."

As pointed out later in this ضميمه, all God's scriptures, not only the Quran, were mathematically coded with the number “۱۹.” Even the universe at large bears this divine mark. The number ۱۹ can be looked upon as the Almighty Creator's signature on everything He created (see ضميمه ۳۸). The number “۱۹” possesses unique mathematical properties beyond the scope of this ضميمه. For example:

• [ ۱ ] It is a prime number.
• [ ۲ ] It encompasses the first numeral (۱) and the last numeral (۹), as if to proclaim God's attribute in ۵۷:۳ as the “Alpha and the Omega.”
• [ ۳ ] It looks the same in all languages of the world. Both components, ۱ and ۹, are the only numerals that look the same in all languages.
• [ ۴ ] It possesses many peculiar mathematical properties. For example, ۱۹ is the sum of the first powers of ۹ and ۱۰, and the difference between the second powers of ۹ and ۱۰.

We now understand that the universal coding of God's creations with the number ۱۹ 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 ۱۹, therefore, proclaims the First Commandment in all the scriptures: that there is only ONE God.

As shown in Table ۷, 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). See Table ۲۰.

Although the Quran provides numerous important commandments governing all aspects of our lives (see for example ۱۷:۲۲-۳۸), five basic “pillars” have been traditionally emphasized. They are:

1. Shahaadah: Bearing witness that there is no other god besides God.
2. Salat: Observing five daily Contact Prayers.
3. Seyaam: Fasting during the ninth month of the Islamic calendar (Ramadan).
4. Zakat: Giving away ۲.۵% of one's net income as a charity to specified people.
5. Hajj: Pilgrimage to Mecca once in a lifetime for those who can afford it.

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

۱. One God (Shahaadah)

As mentioned earlier, the word “ONE” that refers to God occurs in the Quran ۱۹ times. The reference to God “ALONE” occurs ۵ times, and the sum of the sura and verse numbers where we find these five occurrences is ۳۶۱, ۱۹ × ۱۹.

The “First Pillar of Islam” is stated in ۳:۱۸ as “LAA ELAAHA ELLA HOO” (There is no other god besides Him). This most important expression occurs in ۱۹ suras. The first occurrence is in ۲:۱۶۳, and the last occurrence is in ۷۳:۹. Table ۲۲ 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 ۳۱۶۵۰۲, or ۱۹ × ۱۶۶۵۸.

۲. The Contact Prayers “Salat“

The word “Salat “ occurs in the Quran ۶۷ times, and when we add the numbers of suras and verses of these ۶۷ occurrences, the total comes to ۴۶۷۴, or ۱۹ × ۲۴۶ (see INDEX OF THE QURAN).

While the first three “Pillars of Islam” are obligatory upon all Muslim men and women, the Zakat and Hajj are decreed only for those who can afford them. This explains the interesting mathematical phenomenon associated with Zakat and Hajj.

The Zakat charity is mentioned in ۲:۴۳, ۸۳, ۱۱۰, ۱۷۷, ۲۷۷; ۴:۷۷, ۱۶۲; ۵:۱۲, ۵۵, ۷:۱۵۶; ۹:۵, ۱۱, ۱۸, ۷۱; ۱۸:۸۱; ۱۹:۱۳, ۳۱, ۵۵; ۲۱:۷۳; ۲۲:۴۱, ۷۸; ۲۳:۴; ۲۴:۳۷, ۵۶; ۲۷:۳; ۳۰:۳۹; ۳۱:۴; ۳۳:۳۳; ۴۱:۷; ۵۸:۱۳; ۷۳:۲۰; and ۹۸:۵. These numbers add up to ۲۳۹۵. This total does not quite make it as a multiple of ۱۹; it is up by ۱.

The Quran's suras, verses, words, and letters are not only mathematically composed, but also arranged into a superhuman structure that is purely mathematical, i.e., 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 Quran's ۱۹-based code.
