Mathematics: The Ultimate Proof*
6:157 Nor can you say, “If only a scripture could come down to us, we would be better guided than they.” A proven scripture has now come to you from your Lord, and a beacon, and a mercy. Now, who is more evil than one who rejects these proofs from GOD, and disregards them? We will commit those who disregard our proofs to the worst retribution for their heedlessness.
*6:157 The role of the Quran’s mathematical code is evident from the fact that the sum of the verse number (157) plus the gematrical value of “Rashad Khalifa” (1230), through whom the code was revealed, gives 1387, or 19×73.
Quran: Muhammad’s Miracle*
29:48 You did not read the previous scriptures, nor did you write them with your hand. In that case, the rejectors would have had reason to harbor doubts. In fact, these revelations are clear in the chests of those who possess knowledge. Only the wicked will disregard our revelations. They said, “If only miracles* could come down to him from his Lord!” Say, “All miracles come only from GOD; I am no more than a manifest warner.” Is it not enough of a miracle* that we sent down to you this book, being recited to them? This is indeed a mercy and a reminder for people who believe. Say, “GOD suffices as a witness between me and you. He knows everything in the heavens and the earth. Surely, those who believe in falsehood and disbelieve in GOD are the real losers.”
