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].
Translation: ‘Ali was asked: “Why are you staying home?” He said, “Something has been added to the Quran, and I have pledged never to put on my street clothes, except for the prayer, until the Quran is restored.”[ Insert 1 ]
The horrendous dimensions of this crime can be realized once we look at the consequences:
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].
The Title Figure of Sura 9 from a standard Quran, showing that this sura is Medinan, “except for the last two verses; they are Meccan”!!![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.’ ”[Insert 3 ]

[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.

| 9 | 127 | 136 703 (19x37) |
This phenomenon depends on the fact that Sura 9 consists of 127 verses.
[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.

[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, instead of 2470 (19x130); 2472 is not a multiple of 19, and this phenomenon would have disappeared.

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.

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.

[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.

[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 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 Table 24: Odd numbered suras whose number of verses ends with “9.”
| Sura | No. of | |
|---|---|---|
| No. | Verses | Total |
| 15 | 99 | 114 |
| 29 | 69 | 98 |
| 43 | 89 | 132 |
| 57 | 29 | 86 |
| 81 | 29 | 110 |
| 87 | 19 | 106 |
| 312 | 334 | 646 (19x34) |
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.

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: All suras which contain a verse number “129.”
| Sura No. | Verse No. |

| 26 | 129 |
| 37 | 129 |
| 114 | 1161 (114 + 1161 – 2 = 1273 = 19x67) |
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.

| 3 | 128 |

| 37 | 128 |
| 130 | 1280 (130 + 1280 = 1410, not a multiple of 19) If we remove sura 9, with its 128 verses, we get 1410 - 9 - 128 = 1273 = 19x67. |
[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 arein Table 29. Thus, the last two verses of Sura 9 are confirmed to be 126 and 127.
| Sura | Last 2 | |
| No. | Verses | Total |
| 1 | 6 + 7 | 13 |
| 4 | 175 + 176 | 351 |

If Sura 9 consisted of 129 verses, the last digit in its number of verses Table 31: All suras whose number of would be 9 instead of 7, and the total verses is odd, and consists of 3 digits. of last digits would be 78 instead of 76, and this phenomenon would disappear.

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.
| Sura No. | No. of Verses |
|---|---|
| 9 | 127 |
| 11 | 123 |
| 17 | 111 361 (19x19) |
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.
| Sura | No. of | Sum of | |

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.
| Sura | First | Last | |
| No. | Letter | Letter | Total |
| 1 | B = 2 | N = 50 | 52 |
| 2 | A = 1 | N = 50 | 51 |

| 4 | Y = 10 | M = 40 | 50 |
| 5 | Y = 10 | R = 200 | 210 |

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 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:
Thus, the last letter in Sura 9 is once again confirmed to be “N,” not “M.”

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.

from the missing Basmalah to the extra Basmalah.
If 9:129 were part of the Quran, the total in Table 40 would have been: 323+129 = 452, not a multiple of 19. God rejects what the hypocrites utter, even if it is the truth(63:1).
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 286135795, 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 odd-numbered verse. 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.

[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.
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:
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.
Say, “If all the humans, and all the jinns,[ 15:9 ] 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.If we revealed this Quran to a mountain, you would see it trembling,
crumbling,
out of reverence for God.[ 41:41-42 ][ 59:21 ]
