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:

  1. The Quran consists of 114 suras, which is 19 × 6
  2. The famous first revelation (96:1-5) consists of 19 words.
  3. This 19-worded first revelation consists of 76 letters, i.e. 19 x 4.
  4. Sura 96, first in the chronological sequence, consists of 19 verses.
  5. Sura 96 consists of 304 Arabic letters, and 304 equals 19 x 16.
  6. The last revelation (Sura 110) consists of 19 words.
  7. The first verse of the last revelation (110:1) consists of 19 letters.

Famous quotes containing the words mathematical, structure, based and/or number:

    “It is by a mathematical point only that we are wise, as the sailor or the fugitive slave keeps the polestar in his eye; but that is sufficient guidance for all our life. We may not arrive at our port within a calculable period, but we would preserve the true course.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “A committee is organic rather than mechanical in its nature: it is not a structure but a plant. It takes root and grows, it flowers, wilts, and dies, scattering the seed from which other committees will bloom in their turn.”
    —C. Northcote Parkinson (1909–1993)

    “Italy is such a delightful place to live in if you happen to be a man. There one may enjoy that exquisite luxury of Socialism—that true Socialism which is based not on equality of income or character, but on the equality of manners. In the democracy of the caffè or the street the great question of our life has been solved, and the brotherhood of man is a reality. But it is accomplished at the expense of the sisterhood of women.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    “I believe if we introduced the Lord’s Prayer here, senators would propose a large number of amendments to it.”
    —Henry Wilson (1812–1875)
