Appendix 24
Tampering With the Word
of God
A superhuman mathematical system pervades the Quran and serves to guard and authenticate every element in it. |
Nineteen years after the Prophet's death, some scribes
injected two false verses at the
end of Sura 9, the last sura revealed in Medina. The evidence presented in this Appendix incontrovertibly removes these human
injections, restores the Quran to its pristine purity, and illustrates a major function of the Quran's
mathematical code, namely, to protect
the Quran from the slightest tampering. Thus,
the code rejects ONLY the false
injections 9:128-129. |
Surely, we have revealed this scripture, and surely, we will preserve
it. [ 15:9 ] |
The Quran is God’s Final Testament. Hence the divine pledge to keep it perfectly preserved. To assure
us of both the divine
authorship, and the perfect preservation of the Quran, the
Almighty author has rendered the Quran mathematically composed. As proven by the physical
evidence in Appendix
1, such mathematical composition is far beyond human capabilities.
The
slightest
violation
of
God’s Final
Testament is destined to stand out in glaring
disharmony. A deviation by only
1—one sura, one verse, one word, even one letter—is
immediately exposed.
Nineteen years after the Prophet Muhammad’s death, during the
reign
of
Khalifa ‘Uthman, a committee of scribes was appointed to make several
copies of the Quran to be dispatched to the new Muslim lands. The copies were to be made from
the original Quran which was written by Muhammad’s hand (Appendix
28).
This committee was supervised by ‘Uthman Ibn ‘Affaan, ‘Ali Ibn Abi Taaleb,
Zeid Ibn Thaabet, Ubayy Ibn Ka’ab, ‘Abdullah Ibn Al-Zubair, Sa’eed Ibn Al-’Aas,
and ‘Abdul Rahman Ibn Al-Haareth Ibn Heshaam. The Prophet, of course,
had
written the Quran in its chronological order of revelation
(Appendix 23), together with the necessary instructions to place every piece in its proper position. The last
sura revealed in Medina was Sura 9. Only Sura 110, a very short sura,
was revealed after Sura 9, in Mina.
The committee of scribes finally came to Sura 9, and put it in its
proper place. One of the scribes suggested
adding a couple of verses to honor the Prophet.
The majority of scribes
agreed. ‘Ali was outraged. He vehemently maintained that the word of God, written
down by the hand of His final
prophet, must never
be altered.
‘Ali’s protest is documented in many references, but I cite and reproduce
here the classic reference AL
ITQAAN
FEE
‘ULUM
AL
QURAN
by
Jalaluddin
Al-Suyuty, Al-Azhareyyah Press, Cairo, Egypt, 1318 AH, Page 59 [see Insert 1].
The horrendous
dimensions of this crime can be realized once we look at the
consequences:
(1) ‘Uthman was assassinated, and ‘Ali was installed as the fourth Khalifa.
(2) A 50-year war erupted
between the new Khalifa and his supporters on one side, and the Mohammedan distorters of the Quran on the other side.
(3) ‘Ali was
martyred,
and
eventually
his
family, the prophet Muhammad’s family, except for some women and children, were killed.
(4) The disaster
culminated in the infamous Battle of Karbala,
where ‘Ali’s son, Hussein, and his family were massacred.
(5) The Muslims
were deprived of the pure, unaltered, Quran for 1400 years.
The distorters of the Quran finally won the war, and the “official” history
that came to us represented the victors’ point of view. This apparent victory for God’s
enemies was, of course, in accordance with God’s will. In just two decades after the
Prophet’s death, the idol worshipers who were defeated
by the Prophet in the conquest of Mecca (632 AD) reverted
to idolatry. Ironically, this time around their idol was the Prophet
himself. Such idol worshipers obviously
did not deserve to possess the pure Quran. Hence the blessed martyrdom
of the true believers who tried
to restore the Quran, and the apparent
victory for the distorters of God’s word.
The first peace time ruler after this lengthy and disastrous war was Marwan Ibn Al Hakam (died 65 AH/684
AD). One of the first duties he performed was to
destroy the original Quran, the one that was so scrupulously
written
by
the
Prophet’s own hand, “fearing
it might become the cause of NEW disputes” [see ‘ULUM
AL-QURAN,
by
Ahmad
von
Denffer,
Islamic
Foundation,
Leicester, United
Kingdom, 1983, Page 56.]. The question an intelligent person must ask is:
“If the original Quran were identical to the Quran in circulation at that time, why
did Marwan Ibn Al-Hakam have to destroy
it?!”
Upon examining the oldest Islamic
references, we realize
that the false injections, 9:128-129, were always suspect.
For example, we read in Bukhary’s famous
Hadith, and Al-Suyuty’s famous Itqaan, that every single verse in the Quran was
verified by a multiplicity of witnesses “except Verses 128 and 129 of Sura 9; they were
found only with Khuzeimah Ibn Thaabet Al-Ansaary.” When some people questioned this improper exception,
someone came up with a Hadith stating that “the testimony of Khuzeimah equals the testimony
of two men!!!”
Strangely, the false injections
9:128-129 are labeled in the traditional Quran printings as “Meccan” [see Insert 2].
How could
these ‘Meccan’ verses
be found with Khuzeimah, a late ‘Medinan’ Muslim?! How could a Medinan sura contain Meccan verses, when the universal convention has
been
to
label
as
‘Medinan’
all
revelations
after
the
Prophet’s Hijerah from Mecca??!! Despite
these discrepancies, plus many more glaring contradictions associated with Verses
9:128-129,
no
one
dared
to
question
their
authenticity. The discovery of the Quran’s mathematical code in 1974, however, ushered in a new era where
the
authenticity
of
every
element
in
the
Quran
is
proven (Appendix 1).
As it turns out, the injection
of the two false Verses 9:128-129
resulted in:
(1) demonstrating the major function
of the Quran’s mathematical system, and
(2) producing
an awesome miracle
in its own right, and
(3) distinguishing the true
believers
from
the
hypocrites
(they
uphold
traditions).
The translation of the two false verses is shown in Insert 3:
“A messenger has come to you from among you who wants no hardship to afflict you, and
cares about
you, and is compassionate towards
the believers, merciful. If they turn away, then say, ‘Sufficient for me is God, there is no god except He. I put my trust
in Him. He is the Lord with the great throne.’

THE PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
[1] The first violation of the Quran’s code by Verses 9:128-129 appeared when the count of the word “God” (Allah) in the Quran was found to be 2699, which is
not a multiple of 19, unless we remove one. The count of the word “God” is shown at
the bottom of each page in this translation. The total shown at the end of the
Quran is 2698, 19x142, because
the false injections 9:128-129 have been removed.
[2] The sum of all the verse numbers
where the word “God” occurs is 118123,
or 19x6217. This total is obtained by adding the numbers of verses wherever the
word “God” is found. If the false Verse 9:129 is included, this phenomenon disappears.
[3] As shown at the end of Sura 9 in this translation, the total occurrence of the word “God” to the end of Sura 9 is 1273, 19x67. If the false injections 9:128-129
were included, the total would have become 1274, not a multiple
of 19.
[4] The occurrence of the word
“God” from the
first Quranic initial (“A.L.M.” of 2:1) to the last initial (“N.” of 68:1) totals 2641, or 19x139.
Since it is easier to list
the suras outside the initialed section of the Quran,
Table 1 shows the
57 occurrences of the word “God” in that section.
Subtracting 57 from the total occurrence of the word “God” gives
us 2698-57 = 2641
= 19x139, from the first initial to the last initial. If the human injections 9:128 and
129 were included, the count
of the word “God” in the initialed section would have become 2642, not a multiple of 19. [5] Sura 9 is an un-initialed sura, and if we look at the 85 un-initialed suras,
we find that the word “God” occurs in 57 of these
suras, 19x3. The
total number
of verses in the suras
where the word
“God” is found is
1045, 19x55.
If 9:128-129
were included, the verses containing the word “God” would
increase by 1. [6] The word “God”
from the missing
Basmalah (Sura 9) to the
extra Basmalah (Sura
27)
occurs
in
513
verses,
19x27,
within 19 suras
(Table 2).
If the
false Verses
9:128-129 were included, the number of verses containing the word “God”
would have become 514,
and
this
phenomenon would
have disappeared. [7] The word “Elaah” which means “god” occurs
in Verse
9:129.
The total occurrence of this
word in the
Quran is 95, 19x5.
The inclusion of 9:128-129 causes this word to increase by 1, to 96. [8] The INDEX TO THE WORDS OF THE QURAN,
lists 116 “Rasool”
(Messenger)
words. One of these words is
in 9:128. By removing this false verse, 115 “Rasool” words remain. Another “Rasool”
word which must be excluded from counting
is in 12:50, since it refers to the “messenger of Pharaoh,” not the messenger of God. Thus, the total occurrence of “Rasool” of God is 114, 19x6. [9] Another important
word that
occurs in the false Verses 9:128-129 is the word
“Raheem” (Merciful). This word
is used in
the Quran
exclusively as a name of God, and its total count is 114, 19x6, after removing the word “Raheem” of 9:128, which refers
to the prophet. According to 7:188,
10:49, and 72:21
the Prophet did not possess any power of mercy. |
|
[10] The INDEX lists 22 occurrences
of
the
word
“ ‘Arsh” (Throne). After removing the false injection 9:129, and
the
“‘Arsh”
of
Joseph
which
occurs
in
12:100, and the “‘Arsh” of the Queen of
Sheba (27:23), we end up
with 19 “‘Arsh” words. This proves that the word “‘Arsh” of 9:129 does not belong in the Quran.
[11] The Quranic command “Qul” (Say) occurs in the
Quran 332 times. Also, the word “Qaaloo” (They
said) occurs the same number of times, 332. Since the
false Verse 9:129 contains the word
“Qul”
(Say),
its
inclusion
would
have
destroyed this typical Quranic
phenomenon.
[12] The Quran contains
6234 numbered verses and 112 un-numbered verses (Basmalahs). Thus, the total number of verses in the Quran is 6346, 19x334.
The false Verses
9:128-129 violate this important criterion
of the Quran’s code.
[13] In addition to violating the numbers of words as listed above,
9:128-129 violate the Quran’s mathematical structure. When we add the
number of verses in each sura, plus the sum of verse numbers (1+2+3+... +n,
where n=number of verses), plus the
number of each
sura, the cumulative total for the whole Quran comes to
346199, or 19x19x959.
This phenomenon confirms the
authenticity of every verse
in the Quran,
while excluding 9:128-129. Table 3 is an abbreviated
illustration of the calculations of Item 13. This phenomenon is
impossible if the
false Verses 9:128-129 are included. [14] When
we carry out
the same calculations as in
Item 13 above, but for the 85 un-initialed suras
only, which include Sura
9, the cumulative
total is also a
multiple of 19.
The cumulative total for all
un-initialed suras is 156066, or 19x8214. This result depends on the fact
that Sura 9 consists of 127 verses, not 129. The data are shown in Table 4.
The false verses would have destroyed
this criterion. [15] By
adding the sura numbers of all
un-initialed suras (85
suras), plus their number of
verses, from the beginning of the Quran to the end of Sura 9 we get 703,
19x37. The detailed data are shown in Table 5. This phenomenon depends
on the fact that Sura 9
consists of 127 verses. |
|
|||||||||
[17] When the same calculations of
Item 16 are done for
all the verses
from the missing Basmalah
of
Sura
9
to
the
extra
Basmalah of Sura
27, the grand total comes
to 119966, or 19x6314. This phenomenon
would be destroyed, and the
total would no longer be divisible by 19, if the number
of verses in Sura 9 were 129. Since
this phenomenon is also related
to the absence
of Basmalah from Sura 9, it is explained and the detailed data are given in table form in Appendix 29. [18] When the same
calculations of Items 16 and 17 are carried out from
the
missing Basmalah (9:1) to the verse where the number
19 is mentioned (74:30), we find
that the grand total comes to 207670, or 19x10930 (Table
7). Sura 9 must consist of 127 verses. [19] Sura 9 consists of 127 verses.
The digits of 127 add up to 1+2+7= 10. Let us
look at all the verses
whose digits add up
to 10, from the missing
Basmalah of Sura 9,
to the extra
Basmalah of Sura
27. If Sura 9
consisted of 129
verses, the grand
total would be 2472,
not a multiple of 19, and
this phenomenon would have disappeared. The data are in Table
8. [20] The falsifiers wanted
us to believe
that Sura
9 consists of 129 verses.
The number 129 ends
with the digit
“9.” Let us look
at the first sura and the last sura whose number of verses ends with the digit “9.” These are Sura 10 and Sura 104. By adding the sura number, plus the number of verses, plus
the sum of verse numbers, from Sura
10
to
Sura
104,
we
get
a
grand
total
that equals 23655, or 19x1245. The details are shown in Table 9. |
[16] By adding the sura number of the un-initialed suras, plus the number of verses, plus the sum of verse
numbers from the missing Basmalah (9:1)
to
the
end
of
the
Quran, the grand total comes to 116090, or 19x6110. These
data are in Table 6. If Verses
9:128-129 are included, the number of verses
for
Sura
9
becomes
129,
and
the
grand
total becomes 116349, not a multiple of 19.
|
|
||||||||
The inclusion of Sura 9 with the wrong number of verses, 129, would have
altered both the sum of verse numbers and the cumulative total—the sum of
verse numbers would have become 627+129=756, and the cumulative total
would not be
23655—and the Quran’s code
would have been violated (Table 9). [21] The
false injection consisted
of Verses 128 and 129 at the end of Sura 9. If we look at the numbers
128 and 129, we see two 1’s, two 2’s, one 8, and one 9. Now let us look at
all the verses in the Quran, and count all the 1’s we see. This means the 1’s
we see in verses 1, 10, 11, 12, 13... 21, 31, and so on. The total count of
the 1’s is 2546 (19x134),
provided the correct
number of verses in Sura 9,
127, is used. If 128 and 129 are included, the grand total becomes 2548,
which is not a multiple of 19 (Table 11). |
|
|||||||||
[22] Since Sura 9 is an un-initialed sura, let us look at all the verse numbers in the 85 un-initialed suras and count all the 1’s we see. As shown in Table 10, the total count of the digit “1” in the un-initialed suras is 1406, or 19x74. Obviously, if Sura 9 consisted of 129 verses, we would see two additional 1’s, from 128 and 129, and the code would be violated.
[23] Following the same process explained
in Items 22 and 23 for the digit
“1,” let us count all the 2’s, 8’s and 9’s in all the verse numbers of the whole Quran. As shown in Table 11,
the total count of all the 2’s, 8’s, and 9’s
is 3382, or 19x178. This makes
the grand total
of all the 1’s, 2’s, 8’s, and 9’s 2546+
3382=5928, 19x312.
In this remarkable phenomenon, we considered every single verse in the Quran,
and examined the individual digits that make up Verses 128 and 129. Since 128 and 129 contain 6 digits, the inclusion
of these human injections causes the total count of these digits in the whole Quran to be 5928+6 = 5934, not a multiple of 19.
[24] The total count of all the digits (1 through
9) in all the verse numbers of the 85 un-initialed suras, including Sura 9 with 127 verses,
is 27075, or 19x19x75.
[25] Adding up the digits of the Quran’s suras and verses produces a multiple
of 19, provided the correct
number of verses for Sura 9, 127, is taken. To do this, you make a list of the Quran’s 114 suras
and the number of verses
in
each
sura.
Add the digits of every sura number. The sum
of digits of 10=1, 11=2, 12=3,
99=18, and so on. The total for all
the
suras
is
975. The same thing is done for the numbers
of verses in every sura. For example, Sura 2 consists of 286 verses.
The digits of 286 add up to 2+8+6=16. For Sura 9, the
digits of its number of verses add up to 1+2+7=10. The total for all
114 suras is 906. Thus, the grand total for the sum of
digits of all the suras and verses is 975+906 = 1881 = 19x99. Naturally, this observation would not be possible if Sura 9 consisted of 129 verses.
Table 12 is
abbreviated to illustrate the calculations. |
|
[26] Miraculously, if we calculate the sum
of
digits
for
every
sura
in
the
Quran, and multiply the sum for each sura by the sum of digits of its number of verses, instead of adding, we still end up with a grand total that is a multiple of 19.
For example, Sura 2 has 286 verses. The sum of digits of 2+8+6=16.
So you multiply 2 by 16, and you get 32, instead of adding 2+16 as we did in Item 26. This is
done for every sura in the Quran. The grand
total
for
all
the
suras
is
7771,
or
19x409. Once again, every single verse in the Quran is confirmed, while the false verses are utterly rejected.
See Table 13.
[27] Another truly awesome
phenomenon: Sura 9 is
an odd-numbered sura, and
if we carry out the
calculations described above for the odd-numbered suras only, we find
that the total for the suras
is 513 (19x27), the total for the verses is 437 (19x23), and
the grand total
for both is 513
+ 437 = 950 (19x50). Table 14 illustrates this remarkable
phenomenon. |
|
[28] Let us take all the suras that consist of 127
verses or less.
There are 105 such suras.
The sum of the sura numbers
of these 105 suras, plus the sum of
their
verse
numbers
is
10963,
or
19x577. Sura 9 is the only sura that has 127 verses. See Table
15. If Sura 9 did consist of 129 verses,
it would not be included
in this list of suras, the total would be 10827 (10963 - 136), this phenomenon
would have disappeared, and the
Quran’s code would have been violated. [29] Since Sura 9 is
odd-numbered,
and
its
number of verses is also odd, let us look at all the odd-numbered suras
whose
number
of
verses
is
also odd. This gives us 27 suras:
1, 9, 11, 13, 15,
17, 25, 27, 29, 33, 35, 39, 43, 45, 57, 63, 81, 87, 91,
93, 97, 101, 103, 105, 107, 111, and 113. They consist
of 7, 127, 123, 43, 99,
111, 77, 93, 69, 73, 45, 75, 89, 37, 29, 11, 29, 19, 15, 11, 5, 11, 3, 5, 7, 5, and 5 verses, respectively. The sum of these sura numbers,
plus their sum of verse numbers is 2774, 19x146.
If we take the wrong number of verses for Sura 9, i.e., 129, this miracle disappears. |
|
[30] The correct
number of verses in Sura 9 is 127, and this is a prime number—it is not divisible
by any number except 1, and itself. Let us look at all the suras
whose number of verses is a prime number. These are Suras 1, 9, 13, 33, 43, 45, 57, 63, 81, 87, 93, 97, 101, 103, 105, 107, 111, and 113.
The numbers of verses in these suras are 7, 127, 43, 73, 89, 37, 29, 11, 29, 19, 11, 5, 11, 3, 5, 7, 5, and 5, respectively. If you add the digits of these suras,
you get 137, while the digits of the verses add up to 129. This makes the grand total of all the digits 137+129 = 266 = 19x14.
[31] The distorters
added two false verses to Sura 9, and this caused the sura
to have 129 verses. Since 129 consists
of 3 digits, and is divisible by 3, let us look at the suras whose number of verses is divisible
by 3, and consists of 3 digits. The
total of these sura numbers
is 71, and the total number of verses is 765. This produces a grand total of 71 + 765 = 836, or 19x44. The data are shown in Table 16.
If Sura 9 had 129 verses, it would have been included in this table, and would have destroyed this phenomenon.
|
[32] If
Sura 9 consisted of 129 verses, as the falsifiers would like us to believe,
then let us look at all the suras which consist of 129 verses or more. There
are 8 such suras. Their
data are
shown in Table 17. If Sura 9 consisted of 129 verses, the total number of verses would
have been 1577+129 = 1706, not a multiple of 19. |
|||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||
[33] The numbers 127, 128
and
129
have
two digits in common, “1” and “2.” Let us consider all the suras whose number of verses contains the digits 1 and 2. By adding
the sura numbers plus the
numbers
of
verses,
we
get
1159, 19x61. See Table
18. If Sura 9 consisted of 129 verses, the total would have become 1159+2 = 1161, not a multiple of 19. [34] Sura 9 is a single-digit sura whose number of verses contains the digits 1 and 2. There is only one other sura that possesses these traits:
Sura 5 is a single-digit sura, and it consists of 120
verses. As shown
in Table
19, the number of verses in these two suras is 120+127 = 247=19x13. If Sura 9 consisted of 129 verses, the total would have
been 247+2=
249, not
a
multiple of 19. [35] We looked at all the suras whose
number of verses
contains “1” and “2.” Let us now look at all
the
suras
whose
number
of
verses
begins with the digit “1.” There are 30 suras
that possess this quality: Suras 4,
5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 23, 37, 49, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65,
66, 82, 86, 87, 91, 93, 96, 100, and 101. Their
numbers of verses
are 176, 120, 165, 127, 109, 123, 111, 128, 111, 110, 135, 112, 118,
182, 18, 13, 14, 11, 11, 18, 12, 12, 19, 17, 19, 15, 11, 19, 11, and 11. The
sum of verse numbers
(1+2+3+...
+n)
for
these
30 suras is 126122, or 19x6638. If Sura 9 consisted
of
129
verses,
the
sum of
their
verse
numbers
would
have
been 126122 + 128
+
129
=
126379,
and
this total is not a multiple of 19. |
|
|||||||||||||||
[36] Sura 9 consists
of 127 verses, and 9+1+2+7 equals
19.
Let
us
look
at
all
the
suras whose digits of sura
and verses add
up to 19. There
are 10 suras
that meet this specification, and the total of their sura numbers and numbers of
verses
is
1216,
or
19x64.
The data are shown in Table
20. Mr. Gatut Adisoma of Masjid
Tucson made the following two discoveries. [37] Sura 9 consists
of 127 verses, and (9) plus
(1+2+7)
add
up
to
19.
There
are
three other suras in the whole Quran whose
sura digits add up to 9 and
the digits of their
number of verses add up
to
10.
These
are
suras 9, 45, 54, and
72. They consist of 127, 37, 55,
and 28 verses, respectively. The total
number of verses in these
four suras is 247, 19x13. If Sura 9 consisted
of 129
verses, it would not be included
in this table to begin with. See Table
21. [38] If Sura 9 consisted of 129 verses
as the distorters claimed, then there is only one other sura in
the
whole
Quran
whose
sura
digits add up to 9, and its number of verses’
digits add up to 12, namely Sura 27. As shown in Table 22, this combination, with
129
verses
for
Sura
9,
does
not
conform with the Quran’s code. [39] Let us assume
for awhile that Sura
9 consists of 129 verses.
Since the number 129 ends with the digit “9,” let us look at all
the suras where the number of verses ends with the digit “9.” We find 13 suras
in the Quran
whose number of verses ends with the digit “9.” They are Suras 10, 15, 29, 43, 44, 48, 52, 57, 81, 82, 87, 96, and 104. Their numbers of verses are 109, 99, 69, 89, 59, 29, 49, 29, 29, 19, 19, 19, and 9, respectively. As illustrated by Table 23, many results conform
with the Quran’s code only
if Sura 9 is excluded; it does not consist of 129 verses.
Without Sura 9, the total
number of verses in these
13 suras is 627,
19x33. Additionally, the sura
number, plus the number of verses, plus the sum of verse
numbers, add up
to 23655,
or 19x1245.
These phenomena would have disappeared
if Sura 9 consisted of 129 verses. |

|||||||||||||||
[40] Sura 9 is an odd-numbered sura whose number of verses
ends
with
the
digit “9.” Let us now look at all the odd-numbered suras whose number
of
verses
ends with “9.” As shown in Table 24, the
total of sura number and
number of verses in these suras is 646, or 19x34. If Sura 9 had 129 verses,
it would have been included in this group, and the total would have
been 646+129+9 = 784,
which
is
not
a
multiple of 19. [41] By now,
it
is
incontrovertibly
proven that Sura 9 consists
of 127 verses. Let us now look at the suras
whose number of verses ends with “7.” There are 7
such suras; they are Suras
1, 9, 25, 26, 45, 86,
and 107. Their
numbers of verses
are 7, 127, 77, 227,
37,
17,
and
7
verses,
respectively. The grand total of sura numbers plus number of verses for these seven suras is 798, 19x42.
The details are shown
in Table 25. Thus, every sura whose number of verses ends with
the
digit
“7,”
including Sura 9, conforms with the code. [42] The last two verses of Sura 9 are
126 and 127. Since the
falsifiers
added
two verses, let us look at the last two verses of every sura in the Quran, and count all the
digit “7” in them. As shown in Table
26, the total
number of the digit “7” among
the
last
two
verses of every sura in
the
Quran
is
38,
19x2. If the last verse in
Sura
9
was
129
instead of 127, the number
of occurrences of the
digit “7” would
have been 37,
not 38, and this criterion would
have
been
destroyed. |
|
|
||||||||||||||
[43] Assuming that Sura
9 consists of 129 verses, let us look at all the suras that contain a verse
No. 129. This
means that we look at all the suras that consist of
129 or more verses. For example, Sura 2
consists of 286 verses. Therefore, it contains a verse that is assigned the number “129.” We then
take this verse
and add it to
all the other
verses assigned the number 129 throughout the Quran. Under this
assumption, there are 9 suras that contain
a verse No. 129. Interestingly, we find that the total of sura
numbers of these
9 suras is a multiple of 19 (114), while the total for the nine 129’s can be a multiple of 19
if 2 is deducted from their total.
In other words, we
are
told
that
one
of
these
9
suras contains 2 extra
verses. The details
are in Table 27. When we add 114,
plus
1161, and remove 2, we get 1273, or 19x67. Compare this total (1273) with the total reported in the Item 44 below. Of the 9 suras
listed in Table
27, which one has the extra
2 verses? The answer is provided in Item
44. [44] To pinpoint the
location of these two false verses,
let us look at all the suras that contain
a
verse
No.
128,
while continuing to assume that Sura 9 consists of 129 verses.
This will give us
the same list of suras
as in Table 27, and
also bring in Sura 16 which has precisely 128 verses. As shown in Table
28, Sura 9 stands
out in glaring disharmony; it is singled out as the
sura
that
contains
the
false
verses. The total of suras and verses becomes divisible by 19 only if Sura 9 is
removed. Note that the
divisible
total,
after removing Sura 9,
is
1273,
19x67,
which is the same total
obtained in Item 43
above after removing 2 verses. This remarkable phenomenon proves that Sura
9 could not contain a verse No. 128. [45] Sura 9 is an un-initialed sura whose last two verses
are 126 and 127. Let us
take the 85 un-initialed suras,
and add up the
numbers
of
the
last
two
verses
in
each sura. For example, the last two verses in Sura 1 are 6 and 7. Add 6+7 and you get
13. The next un-initialed sura is Sura 4;
its last two
verses are 175
and 176. Add 175+176 and you get 351. Do this for all
un-initialed suras. The data
are
in
Table 29. Thus, the last two verses of Sura 9 are
confirmed to be 126 and 127. [46] Let us now
take the last
two verses in every sura in the Quran, initialed and un-initialed, and add the digits
of the last two verses in each sura (Table 30). It is readily obvious that the last two
verses of every sura in the Quran are divinely fixed,
and divinely guarded through this
intricate mathematical code. The last two
verses of Sura 9 are confirmed to be 126 & 127, not 128 & 129. [47] Sura 9 consists of 127
verses,
and 127 consists of 3 digits. Let us look at all the suras whose number of verses consists
of 3 digits; these are suras 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 23, 26,
and 37. Their verse numbers
are 286, 200, 176,
120,
165,
206,
127,
109,
123,
111, 128, 111, 110, 135, 112,
118, 227, and 182, respectively. By taking the last digit in
each number of verses, and adding up these digits, we get 6
+ 0 + 6 + 0 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 9 + 3 + 1 + 8 + 1 + 0 + 5 + 2 + 8 + 7 + 2 = 76 =
19 x 4. If Sura 9 consisted of 129 verses,
the last digit in its number
of verses would
be 9 instead of 7, and the total
of last digits would be 78 instead of 76, and
this phenomenon would
disappear. |

||||||||||||||
[48] Let
us
look
at
the
list
of
suras
shown in Item 47 above. Since the number of verses in Sura 9 is an odd number,
let us now consider the odd-numbered verse numbers. There are 8 suras with a 3-digit, odd number of verses: Suras 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 17, 20, and 26. Their numbers
of verses are 165, 127, 109, 123, 111, 111, 135, & 227.
The last digits in these numbers of verses are 5, 7, 9, 3, 1, 1, 5, and 7, respectively, and the sum of these digits is 38, or 19x2. Obviously, if Sura 9 consisted
of 129 verses, its last digit would be 9, not 7, and the sum of the last digits would be 40, not a multiple of 19. The detailed data are shown in Table 31. Thus, we are getting
more and more specific, as we zoom in on the last digit in the number of verses.
[49] Let us continue to work with the
same
group
of
suras
of
Items 47 and 48. Since
Sura 9 is an odd-numbered sura, let us now
remove all the even-numbered
suras from the list of suras shown in
Item 47. Now
we have odd-numbered suras, with
odd-numbered verses.
There are only three
such suras in the whole Quran: 9, 11, and 17. Their numbers of verses are 127, 123, and 111 (Table 32). If Sura 9
consisted of 129 verses, this remarkable phenomenon would have been destroyed. |
|
[50] Let us continue
to work with the three suras listed in Item 49. These are
all the suras in the Quran whose
number is odd (like Sura 9), their
number of verses consists of 3 digits (like Sura 9), and their number of verses is also odd (like Sura
9).
As shown in Table 32, the verse numbers of these 3 suras are 127, 123, and 111. Just add the individual digits, and you get 1 + 2 + 7 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 1 +
1=19.
Obviously, this phenomenon depends
on the now proven truth
that Sura 9 consists of 127 verses. If Sura 9 consisted
of 129 verses, the only suras in the Quran that possess the above
stated
qualities
would
have
added
up
to
1+2+9+1+2+3+1+1+1 = 21. In other words, this important
component of the Quran’s mathematical code would have disappeared.
[51] There are three
suras (1) whose
numbers are odd, (2) their
numbers of verses are odd, and (3) the number of verses consists of 3 digits. They are Suras:9,
11, and 17 (see Items 48 through 50 for the flow of this point).
Just add the individual digits that make up the three sura numbers, and you get 9+1+1+1+7=19.
[52] The number 129 is divisible by 3. If Sura 9 consisted
of 129 verses as the distorters claimed, then it would be (1) an odd-numbered sura that (2) consists of a 3-digit number of verses,
(3) the number of verses is odd, and (4) the number of
verses is divisible by 3. There are only two suras in the whole Quran that possess
these qualities: Sura 11 with 123 verses, and Sura 17 with 111 verses.
The sum of digits of both sura numbers and the
numbers
of
verses
comes
to
1+1+1+2+3+
1+7+1+1+1 = 19. This can be observed only if Sura 9 consists
of 127 verses.
[53] Sura 9 is (1) odd-numbered, (2) its number of verses is odd, (3) its number of verses ends with the digit “7,” (4) its number of verses is a prime number, and (5) the sura number is divisible
by 3 & 9. The only two suras that possess these qualities are: Sura 9 (127 verses), and Sura 45 (37 verses). Just add the digits you see:
9+1+2+7= 19 & 4+5+3+7= 19; Total
for both suras
= 19+19 = 38. |
[54] Let us assume that Sura
9
does
have 129 verses. In that case we will have only two suras in the whole Quran whose number begins with 9, and their
number of verses ends with 9: Sura 9 (129 verses)
and Sura 96 (19
verses). As detailed in Table 33, the grand total
of sura number, plus the
number of verses, plus the
sum
of
verse
numbers is 8828, not a multiple of 19. Now let us remove the false
verses
(128 & 129) from Sura
9, and repeat
the same calculations. The result of this
correction
is
shown
in
Table 34. The grand total becomes 8569, 19x451. [55] Let us assume
that Sura 9 consists
of 129 verses. The total
of these digits
is 9+1+2+9=21. Let us look at all the
suras where the digits of their number of verses
add up to 21. There
are 7 such
suras: 9, 25, 27, 37, 68, 94, and 97. By adding the sura numbers,
plus the number of
verses
in
each
sura,
plus
the
sum of
verse
numbers,
the
grand
total
comes to 34744, not a multiple
of
19
(Table 35). Now, let us use the correct
number of verses for
Sura 9, 127,
and repeat the
same calculations as in Table
35. This causes
the grand total to become 34485,
or 19x1815. See Table 36. [56] For the last time, let
us
assume
that Sura 9 consists of 129 verses.
We have here a sura that (1)
is
an
odd
numbered
sura, (2) its number is divisible by 3, (3) the
number of verses, 129, is also
divisible by 3, and (4) the number of verses
ends
with the digit “9.” There is only one sura that possesses these qualities: Sura 15 is divisible by 3, its
number of verses is
99,
which
is
divisible
by
3
and
ends with the digit “9.” If Sura 9 consisted of 129, and
we
added
the
sura
and
verse
numbers for these two suras,
we
would
end up with the following results: 9 + 129
+ 15 + 99 = 252—not a multiple of 19. If we throw
away the false
number 129, we have one sura in the Quran
whose number is odd, and its number of verses is divisible by 3 and ends with the digit 9—Sura 15. Now we have the following result: |
|
15 + 99 = 114 = 19x6. |
[57] For some time
now, we have been
dealing with numbers. Let us now
look at specific words
and letters that
occur in the false
injections 9:128-129. The last statement in 9:127 describes the disbelievers as
“LAA YAFQAHOON”
(they do not comprehend). Thus, the
last
letter in Sura 9 is “N” (Noon). According to the falsifiers, the last
verse is 129, and the
last
letter
is
“M”
(Meem), since the last false word is “AZEEM.” Now let us look at the first
letter and the last letter
of every sura from the beginning of the Quran to Sura 9, and calculate their gematrical (numerical) values.
Table 37 shows that the last true letter in Sura 9 must
be “N,” not “M.” |
|
[58] Sister Ihsan Ramadan
(Suzanne Mamodesene) of Masjid Tucson counted all the suras in the Quran which end with the letter “N” (Noon), the last letter in
Sura 9.
She found that 43 suras end with the same letter as Sura 9 (N)—suras 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 32, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 43, 44, 46, 49, 51, 58, 61, 62, 63, 66, 67, 68,
70, 77, 81, 83, 84, 95, 107, and 109. Just add the sura numbers + number of suras that end with “N”, and you get:
1919. |
Thus, the last letter in Sura 9 is once again confirmed
to be “N,” not “M.”
[59] Now let us look at the crucial
expression “LA ELAAHA ELLA HOO” (There is no god except He). This phrase occurs in the false injection 9:129.
This very special
expression occurs 29 times in 19 suras (Table 38). By adding
the sura numbers of the 19 suras, plus the verse numbers
where the phrase “LAA
ELAAHA ELLA HOO” occurs, plus the number
of occurrences of this crucial phrase, the grand total comes to 2128, or 19x112. This awesome
result is dependent
on the fact that 9:128-129
do not belong in the Quran.
Obviously, if 9:129
were
included,
the
crucial
expression
“LA
ELAAHA
ELLA HOO,” the First Pillar of Islam, would not conform with the mathematical code.
[60] The first occurrence of “LA ELAAHA
ELLA HOO” is in 2:163,
and the last occurrence
is in 73:9. If we add the sura number, plus the number of verses, plus the sum of verse numbers
from the first occurrence to the last occurrence, the grand
total comes to 316502, or 19x16658.
Table 39 presents the detailed data.
Naturally, if
“LAA ELAAHA ELLA HOO”
of the false verse 129 were included, this phenomenon would have disappeared.
|
[61] The
phrase “LAA ELAAHA ELLA
HOO” occurs 7
times between the missing
Basmalah of Sura 9 and the extra
Basmalah of Sura
27, in 9:31, 11:14, 13:30,
20:8, 20:98, 23:116,
and 27:26. By adding the numbers of the 7 verses, we
get 323, or
19x17. The detailed data are
shown in Table 40.

The
Ultimate
Quranic
Miracle
[62] Brother Abdullah Arik has discovered what I consider
to be the ultimate Quranic miracle.
This
miraculous
phenomenon
incontrovertibly
authenticates
every single verse in the Quran—the number of verses in every sura, and the numbers
assigned to every
single verse in the Quran—while exposing and rejecting the false injections, 9:128-129. To witness this great
phenomenon,
see
Page
396.
Putting the number of every verse in the Quran in sequence
from the beginning
to the end, with the number of verses in each sura ahead of the verse numbers
of each sura, the final number consists of 12692 digits (19x668), and the number itself is also
a multiple of 19. If the wrong
number of verses
for Sura 9 was used—129 instead of 127—neither the number of digits, nor the number
itself would be divisible by 19.
[63] Since the subject
of this Appendix is Sura 9 and its number of true verses, it is noteworthy
that if we write down the number of the sura, 9, followed by the correct number of verses,
127, followed by the numbers
of all the verses from 1 to 127, the resulting long number
is
a
multiple
of
19.
Needless
to
say, if the wrong number of verses is used, i.e., 129 instead of 127, this remarkable miracle would have disappeared:
9 127 1 2 3 4 5 .....
122
123
124
125
126
127. |
The total
number of verses
in Sura 9 is followed by the numbers
of every verse
in the sura from 1 to 127. The resulting long number is a multiple of 19. |
[64] The number of verses in Sura 9, 127, is an odd number. The falsifiers added two fake verses, and this made the number of verses 129, which is also an odd number. Mr. Arik used the same computer program
he devised for Item 62 above
to check all odd-numbered verses in the Quran.
Thus, the number of verses in
every sura was written down, followed only by the last digit of each of the odd-numbered verses in that sura. Sura 1 was represented by the number 71357. Sura 2 was represented by the number 28613579.....5, and so on through the last sura. The
result is a long number, with 3371 digits,
that is divisble by 19. Obviously, Sura 9 was represented by the number 12713579......7 :
7 1 3 5 7 286
1 3 5 ... 3 5 ......
5 1 3 5 6 1 3 5. |
The number
of verses in every sura is followed by the last digit of each of the odd-numbered verses. The resulting long number, 3371 digits,
is a multiple of 19. |
[65] Since Sura 9 is an un-initialed sura, Mr. Arik applied the same computer
program to all 85 un-initialed suras. The number of every verse in each of the 85 suras
was written down, without the number of verses in the sura. Thus, Sura 1 was represented by the number 1234567, not
71234567. This was done with all
un-initialed suras. The final result is a number that consists of 6635 digits,
and is a multiple of 19. These awesome phenomena
would be destroyed if we used the wrong
number of verses for Sura 9, i.e., 129 instead
of 127.
God’s Messenger of the Covenant
Destined to Purify the Quran
[66] Finally, in a profound demonstration of the foreknowledge
of
the
Almighty Author of the Quran, it is mathematically coded that “The person destined to prove that Sura 9 consists of 127 verses
is
Rashad
Khalifa,
God’s Messenger of the Covenant”
(see Appendix 2). The item presented here is another one of those numerous
proofs; it is chosen for its relevance
to this Appendix.
The gematrical value of the word “Rashad,”
as written in the Quran (40:29,
38) is
505
(R=200,
Sh=300, A=1, and D=4).
The gematrical value of the
word
“Khalifa,” as written in the Quran (38:26) is 725 (Kh=600, L=30, I=10, F=80,
and H=5). By writing down the value of “Rashad,” followed
by the value of “Khalifa,” followed by the number
of Sura 9, followed by the correct
number of verses
in this sura, the
product
is
5057259127.
This
number
is
a
multiple
of
19;
it
equals
19x266171533.
[67] The number of verses from 3:81, where
God’s Messenger of the Covenant
is prophesied, to 9:127, the end of Sura 9, is 988 (19x52). Table 41.
[68] The sum of verse numbers
from 3:81 to 9:127 is also
a
multiple
of
19
(Table 41). [69] In Verse
3:78,
just
3
verses
before proclaiming God’s Messenger of the Covenant,
the
word
“God”
number
361 (19x19) occurs. This
verse
(3:78)
informs us that some falsifiers will “add falsehood to the Quran, then claim that it is part of the Quran;
they attribute lies to
God, knowingly.” [70] The word “God” occurs
912
times (19x48) from Verse 3:78,
which exposes the falsifiers, to 9:127. [71] The number of letters, plus the number of words in 3:78 and in the false verses 9:128-129, give the same total, 143. Verse 3:78 consists of 27 words and 116 letters, & 9:128-129 consist of 115 letters and 28 words.

What
Can
We Say?
The overwhelming physical
evidence provided by the Almighty
to protect and authenticate His message leaves no doubt that: (1) no distortion of any kind can
enter the Quran, (2) Verses 9:128-129
do not belong in the Quran, and (3) every element in the Quran
is
mathematically
structured
far
beyond
human
capabilities—the number
of suras, the number of verses, the numbers assigned
to the suras and verses, the frequency of occurrence of key expressions, the number of words,
the number
of
letters,
and
the
unique
and
often
uncommon
spelling
of
certain
words.
This Appendix
documents a profound
miracle in its own right. Vast and utterly overwhelming as it is, it does not surpass
or even match the overall
mathematical miracle of the Quran which is detailed in Appendix One. This merely confirms the fact that the Almighty
Author of the Quran has deliberately permitted
the blasphemous addition
of two verses to Sura 9 in order to:
(1) Demonstrate an essential function of the Quran’s mathematical composition. |
(2) Prove
the impossibility of tampering with the Quran. |
(3) Fulfill
God’s promise
to distinguish the believers and expose the hypocrites. |
Why Did
God Permit It
For 1400 Years ??
Due to the mass corruption of Islam shortly
after the prophet
Muhammad’s death, God obviously has fulfilled His pledge in 47:38. A divine decree issued in Sura
47, which is entitled “Muhammad,” Verse 38 (19x2), stipulates that “if the Arabs failed to uphold the Quran, God
will dismiss them from His grace, and substitute other people in their place.”
When the Arabs distorted the Quran a few years after the Prophet’s death, and exterminated the Prophet’s family in the process,
they incurred God’s pledge of
47:38, and no longer deserved
to possess the Quran; the true Quran.
The evidence is irrefutable that the Arabs have abandoned
the Quran en masse.
For example, there is not a single mosque in the so-called
Muslim world today (1989) that upholds the crucial commandment: “The mosques belong to God; you
shall not invoke anyone else besides God” (72:18).
The call to prayer (Azan)
and the prayer itself are no longer devoted to God
alone; Muhammad’s name is invariably invoked
along with the name of God.
The “First Pillar of Islam” is clearly stated in the Quran, 3:18 &
47:19, and its words are decreed
to be: LAA ELAAHA ELLA ALLAH (There is no other god
besides God). But the Muslims, as early as the first century AH, do not want God
if Muhammad is not invoked along with Him. This is easily demonstrable today by
going into any mosque and declaring: “LAA
ELAAHA ELLA ALLAH;” this will actually enrage today’s Muslims. This behavior is documented in the Quran, 39:45. Moreover, my own research has now convinced
me
that
the
traditional
Muslims are forbidden by God from
uttering
the
Quranic,
divinely
dictated
Shahaadah: “Ash-hadu Allaa Elaaha
Ellaa
Allah.”
They
can
never
say
this
Shahaadah (without invoking Muhammad’s name). Test them yourself. The First
Pillar of the distorted Islam, LAA ELAAHA ELLA ALLAH, MUHAMMAD RASOOL ALLAH, does not conform with God’s commandments that came to us
through Muhammad (see Appendix 13).
A number of other commandments are violated as well by this Mohammedan Shahaadah. For example, the Quran enjoins us repeatedly
from making any distinction
among
God’s messengers (2:136, 285;
3:84).
The
distorted
Shahaadah
gives more distinction to Muhammad,
against his will. Despite the Quran’s repeated assertions that it is “complete, perfect,
and fully detailed” (6:19, 38, &
114), the “Muslims” have refused to believe their Creator; they uphold such ridiculous
and nonsensical sources as Hadith and Sunna. This unanimous rebellion
against God and His
messenger, and the mass reversion to glaring
idolatry—idolizing
the
Prophet and the saints—called for fulfillment of God’s pledge in 47:38.
In view of the incontrovertible divine
evidence
presented
here,
and
in
Appendices 1, 2, and 26, one can truly appreciate the following verses:
Surely, we have revealed this message, |
and surely, we will preserve
it. [ 15:9 ] |
|
Say, “If all the humans,
and all the jinns, |
banded together, in order to produce
a Quran like this,
|
they will surely fail, no matter how much assistance they lend one another.” [ 17:88
] |
|
The disbelievers rejected this message |
when it came to them, though
it is a profound
scripture. No falsehood can enter it, |
through addition or deletion.
For it is a revelation from |
the Most Wise, Most Praiseworthy. [ 41:41-42 ] |
|
If we revealed
this Quran to a mountain, |
you would
see it trembling,
crumbling, |
out of reverence for God. [ 59:21
] |
