Appendix 29
The Missing Basmalah
Every sura in the Quran opens with the statement
“In the name of God, Most
Gracious, Most Merciful,” known as the Basmalah, with the exception
of Sura 9. This conspicuous absence
of the Basmalah from Sura 9 has been an intriguing feature
of the Quran for 14 centuries. Many theories have been advanced to explain this phenomenon.
Now we learn that the missing Basmalah plays a significant role as [1] a significant constituent of the Quran’s mathematical miracle,
and [2] a glaring sign from the Most Gracious,
Most Merciful, that Sura 9 has been tampered with and
must be purified (Appendix 24). Both roles
of the missing Basmalah were
revealed with the discovery
of the Quran’s mathematical code. The following
list of factual observations illustrate the miraculous features
of the missing Basmalah:
[1] Since the Basmalah consists of 19 Arabic letters,
and prefixes all the suras except one, it can be considered the foundation upon which the Quran’s 19-based
code is built. But the absence of the Basmalah from Sura 9 causes the number of this crucial opening statement to be 113, a number that does not conform with the
Quran’s code. However, we find that this deficiency is compensated for in Sura 27.
Two Basmalahs occur
in
Sura
27,
one
as
an
opener
and
one
in Verse
30. This restores the total number of Basmalahs in the Quran to 114, 19x6.

[2] From the missing
Basmalah of Sura 9 to the extra Basmalah of Sura 27, there
are 19 suras. [3] The sum of sura numbers
from the missing Basmalah (Sura 9) to the
extra Basmalah (Sura 27)
is
9+10+11+12+
... +25+26+27 = 342, 19x18. This is a mathematical
property, any consecutive 19 numbers will
add up to a multiple of 19.
But
the
miraculous
phenomenon is that this number, 342, equals the number of words from the
first Basmalah of
Sura 27 to the second
Basmalah in 27:30. [4] The occurrence of the
extra
Basmalah in 27:30 conforms with the
Quran’s code in that the sura number, plus
the verse number is a multiple of 19 (27+30 = 57 = 19x3). [5] The occurrence of the
extra
Basmalah in Verse 30 compares with the occurrence of the number 19 itself
in Verse 30 (Sura
74). [6] The Quran contains 6234
numbered verses. The absence of the
Basmalah from Sura 9,
and
compensating
for it in Verse
30 of Sura 27 gives
us two numbered Basmalahs, 1:1
&
27:30, and 112
un-numbered
Basmalahs. This causes the total number
of verses in the Quran to be 6234+112 = 6346,
19x334. [7] From
the missing Basmalah to the extra Basmalah, the
number
of
verses containing the word “Allah”
is 513, 19x27. Note that 27 is the sura
number where
the extra
Basmalah occurs. The data are in Table 1. [8] The sum of verse numbers (1+2+3+ ...
+n),
plus
the
number
of
verses, from the missing Basmalah to the extra Basmalah is 119624,
19x6296. See Table 2. [9] This item also proves that Sura 9 consists
of 127 verses, not 129 (see
Appendix 24). The sum of digits
of
127 is
1+2+7=10.
By
finding
all
the
verses whose digits add up to 10, from
the missing Basmalah of
Sura
9
to
the
extra Basmalah of
Sura 27, then adding
the number of these
verses
to
the
total
number of verses from the missing
Basmalah to the extra Basmalah, we get 2128, or 19x112 (Table
3). [10] Sura 9 is an odd-numbered sura whose number of verses
(127)
is
also
odd. From the missing Basmalah to the extra Basmalah,
there
are
7
suras
that
possess this property; they are odd-numbered suras whose numbers of verses are also odd. As detailed in Table 4, these are Suras 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 25, and 27.
By adding
the
digits
that
make
up
the
sura numbers and the numbers
of verses, the grand
total is 114, 19x6. [11] The next two features authenticate both the missing Basmalah and the number of verses in Sura 9 (where two false verses had
been
injected).
If
we
take the same suras listed
in
Table 4, odd-numbered suras
whose numbers of verses are also odd, and write down the number of every
sura,
followed
by
its
number of verses, the resulting
long
number (30 digits) is a multiple
of
19
(Figure 1). [12] Let us continue to work
with
the suras listed in Table 4. They are the
odd-numbered suras whose verses
are
also odd-numbered, from the
missing
Basmalah to the
extra Basmalah. If we
write down the number
of
every
sura,
followed by the last digit in every verse
in that sura, we end up with a long number, 1988 digits,
which is divisible by 19 (Figure 2). |

Every sura number is followed by the number
of verses in that sura. This long number equals 19 x 48037427533385052195322409091.
