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 mathe-

to the Extra Basmalah.[1] Since the Basmalah consists of 19 Arabic let-
ters, and prefixes all the suras except one, it can beconsidered the foundation upon which the Quran’s19-based code is built. But the absence of the Bas-malah from Sura 9 causes the number of this crucialopening statement to be 113, a number that does notconform with the Quran’s code. However, we findthat this deficiency is compensated for in Sura 27.Two Basmalahs occur in Sura 27, one as an openerand 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 missingBasmalah (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.
