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.

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

    “As we speak of poetical beauty, so ought we to speak of mathematical beauty and medical beauty. But we do not do so; and that reason is that we know well what is the object of mathematics, and that it consists in proofs, and what is the object of medicine, and that it consists in healing. But we do not know in what grace consists, which is the object of poetry.”
    —Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    “Who says that fictions only and false hair
    Become a verse? Is there in truth no beauty?
    Is all good structure in a winding stair?
    May no lines pass, except they do their duty
    Not to a true, but painted chair?”
    —George Herbert (1593–1633)

    “Both magic and religion are based strictly on mythological tradition, and they also both exist in the atmosphere of the miraculous, in a constant revelation of their wonder-working power. They both are surrounded by taboos and observances which mark off their acts from those of the profane world.”
    —Bronislaw Malinowski (1884–1942)

    “There is something tragic about the enormous number of young men there are in England at the present moment who start life with perfect profiles, and end by adopting some useful profession.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
