Dr. Rashad Khalifa
The Quran teaches that the Quranic initials constitute the miracle of the Quran, since the expression these are the miracles of this book occurs only with the initials.1, 2
The two chapters initialed with Q, Chapters 50 and 42, each contain 57 Qs, and together they equal 114, the number of chapters in the Quran.1, 2, 3
Lot's people are called Ikhwaan instead of Qawm only in the Q-initialed Sura 50, because using Qawm would have broken the count of the letter Q.1
Mecca is spelled Becca in 3:96 because Sura 3 is M-initialed, and the correct spelling would have made the count of M deviate from the code.1
The initial NuN of Sura 68 must be counted as two N's, because the original Quranic text spells it out with two N's.1, 2
The initial Q stands for Quran, and the two Q-initialed suras each contain 57 Q's, totaling 114, the number of suras in the Quran.1, 2
The longer and more complex interlocking initials prefix suras narrating uncommonly powerful miracles, such as the virgin birth of Jesus, because God provides stronger evidence to support stronger miracles.1, 2
The significance of the Quranic Initials remained a divinely guarded secret for fourteen centuries, and the initials form a major portion of the Quran's 19-based miracle.1, 2
Writing the word Bastatan in 7:69 with a Saad, as some printings do, is an erroneous distortion that violates the code, and the oldest Tashkent Copy writes it with a Seen.1
The Quran's miracle based on 19 stayed hidden for 1406 years and was predestined by God to be unveiled through Rashad Khalifa, while scholars over fourteen centuries were not permitted to decipher the initials.1, 2
Many scholars refuse to accept the clear link between the Quranic Initials and the end of the world because the calculation makes the end and judgment a reality.1
The books of Hadith show that the Quranic Initials were believed early on to determine the life span of the Muslim community, as in the account of the Jews of Medina.1, 2
The seven pairs of 15:87 are the 14 Quranic Initials, whose total gematrical value of 1709 pinpoints the end of the world in 1710 AH.1, 2, 3
The Quranic initials of Sura 19, where the story of Jesus is told, add up to a multiple of 19.1
Opponents misuse verse 3:7 by stopping after God and ignoring the letter wa, claiming no one may know the meaning of the Quranic initials.1, 2, 3
The counts of the Quranic initials, and of the letters and words of the Quran, are mathematically controlled.1, 2, 3
Dr. Khalifa personally takes the Quranic initials and the mathematical code tied to them as a sign that his translation of the Quran is authorized by God.1, 2
The Quranic initials hold a secret that God kept hidden, to be unveiled in the future rather than in Muhammad's time, and after fourteen hundred years it is now revealed.1, 2, 3
The Quranic initials A.L.M. mean God is one, since their counts are multiples of 19 and the Arabic word for one, wahid, has a gematrical value of 19.1, 2, 3, 4
The Quranic initials remained a sacred mystery for 1400 years, their decoding reserved for specific persons, and they are now recognized as part of the Quran's mathematical code.1, 2, 3
Each of the six Alif Lam Mim suras and each of the five Alif Lam Ra suras contains a total of its initials that is a multiple of 19.1, 2
Suras 50 and 42, the two Qaf initialed suras, each contain 57 Qafs, totaling 114, the number of suras, and Qaf stands for Quran.1, 2, 3
The Ha Mim letters in the seven Ha Mim suras total 2147, so if a single letter had been lost or added over 1400 years the whole system would collapse, yet anyone can verify the count today.1, 2, 3
The initials interlock across suras, such as Saad counting within its three suras and within the five initials of sura 19, showing the system is far beyond human capability.1, 2, 3
The scholars said they did not know what the Quranic initials mean, so Dr. Khalifa researched them by computer and, after four years, found a common denominator of 19 binding all the initials without exception.1, 2, 3, 4
The section from the first Quranic initial to the last contains 5263 verses, 2641 occurrences of the word Allah, and 38 uninitialed suras, all multiples of 19, with 57 occurrences of Allah outside it.1, 2, 3, 4
The suras consistently contain counts of their own initials that are multiples of 19, such as Nun in sura 68, Saad in its three suras, and Ya Seen in sura 36.1, 2, 3, 4
The first publication of the Quran's miracle in January 1973 showed that each initialed surah has the highest proportion of its initials, except Surah Yasin, which has the least.1, 2
At the time of revelation letters also served as numbers, so the initials ALM equal 71 and the 14 sets of initials together give 1709.1, 2, 3
Chapter 19, about Mary and the miracles of Jesus, is strengthened with five initials whose count is 798, 19 times 42, because its story is normally hard to believe.1, 2, 3
In chapter 36 the letters Y and S total 285, 19 times 15, and every initial in its chapters gives a multiple of 19.1, 2
The initials HM in the seven HM chapters total 2147, 19 times 113, and one extra letter would break the multiple of 19.1, 2, 3
The letter N in the one chapter initialed with N occurs 133 times, which is 19 times 7.1
The letter Saad occurs 152 times, 19 times 8, in the three chapters initialed with it.1
The mathematical code of the Quran cannot be manipulated, because God, the author of the Quran, chose the initial letters, not the researchers.1, 2, 3
The seven pairs given to Muhammad in chapter 15 are the 14 sets of Quranic initials, and they are connected with the end of the world.1, 2, 3
He began computerizing the whole Quran to find out whether its initial letters have mathematical relations.1, 2
Between the first and last initials there are 19 groups of initialed and uninitialed suras, showing that the number of verses and the sequence of suras are dictated by God.1, 2, 3
The first verse has 19 letters, the Quran has 114 suras, which is 19 times 6, and each of the two Q-initialed suras has 57 Q's, together 114.1, 2, 3
The letters H and M in the seven HM-initialed suras total 2147, which is 19 times 113, and the loss, addition, or substitution of one letter would collapse the pattern.1, 2, 3
The number of verses from the first Quranic initial to the last is a multiple of 19, excluding the two false verses at the end of Sura 9.1, 2
The word Allah occurs 2698 times in the Quran, a multiple of 19, with 57 occurrences outside the initialed range and none at all in Sura 68.1, 2, 3
The Quranic initials follow the code: Sura Qaf has 57 Qafs, Sura Nun has 133 Nuns, and the three Saad initialed suras have 152 Saads, all multiples of 19.1, 2
The Quranic initials, mysterious for 1400 years, occur in multiples of 19, such as 9,899 for A L M in chapter 2, 57 Qs in each Q chapter, and 133 Ns in chapter 68.1, 2, 3, 4
Chapter 36, prefixed with Y S, contains a total of 285 Ys and Ss, which is 19 times 15.1
