Submitters PerspectiveSeptember 1988The Quran's mathematical miracle extends to its 30 distinct numbers, whose sum is a multiple of 19.

The issue summarizes the Quran's 19-based mathematical code, the numerical evidence tied to the name Rashad Khalifa, and a message to America on religious freedom, and answers The Muslim Digest's question about his messengership.ICS

Submitters PerspectiveApril 1988Karima Omar Kamouneh takes up twenty five popular hadiths, many about women, marriage, and sex, and sets them against the Quran to argue that hadith and sunna are satanic.
