The Miracle of 19 researched by Rashad Khalifa is a claim that the Quran is characterized by a unique phenomenon wherein the suras are mathematically structured based on the number 19. His work was initially accepted and endorsed by mainstream Muslims but was rejected later. Here are a few of the facts highlighted by Dr Khalifa:
- The Quran consists of 114 suras, which is 19 × 6
- The famous first revelation (96:1-5) consists of 19 words.
- This 19-worded first revelation consists of 76 letters, i.e. 19 x 4.
- Sura 96, first in the chronological sequence, consists of 19 verses.
- Sura 96 consists of 304 Arabic letters, and 304 equals 19 x 16.
- The last revelation (Sura 110) consists of 19 words.
- The first verse of the last revelation (110:1) consists of 19 letters.
