Submitters Perspective, July 2000

Benford's Law, the digit distribution used to detect fraud in financial data, applied to the number of verses in the 114 suras of the Quran. Majeed Motahari shows the suras follow the law's predicted pattern and that the weighted group totals equal 437, or 19 times 23. A reader's letter asks whether submission.org's stance on hadith and sunna draws criticism.
