Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Peace be upon you, A Great Prophecy* [Quran 41:53] We will show them our proofs in the horizons, and within themselves, until they realize that this is the truth.* Is your Lord not sufficient, as a witness of all things? *41:53 The letters that compose this verse are 19, and their gematrical values add up to 1387, 19x73. This great prophecy, together with 9:33, 48:28, 61:9 & 110:2, informs us that the whole world is destined to accept the Quran as God's unaltered message (See Appendix 38). In accordance with this verse, it is evident that God continues to intensify His miracle in the Qur'an to such an extent that the believers' faith continues to grow. A few facts related to the first and last occurrence of the Quranic initials follow (a very small component of the Quran's awesome mathematical code). 1. The first Qur'anic initial occurs in 2:1, Alef Laam Meem (A.L.M). The last initial occurs in sura 68 (68:1), Noon. It was discovered that the number of verses between the A.L.M. of 2:1 and the Noon of 68:1 is 5263, or 19x277, inclusive. This means: (i) that the number of verses is a divinely dictated parameter of the Qur'an, and (ii) that the sequence of suras as we know it today is divinely dictated. 2. Between the first Qur'anic initial (A.L.M. of 2:1) and the last Qur'anic initial (Noon of 68:1), we find 19 alternating groups of initialed and non-initialed suras. For example, suras 2 and 3 are initialed and they constitute the first group. Suras 4, 5 and 6 are not initialed, and they constitute the second group. Sura 7 is initialed and it makes up the third group, suras 8 and 9 are not initialed and they make up the fourth group, and so on; there are 19 such groups. 3. As announced in the September issue of M.P. (http://www.masjidtucson.org/publications/books/sp/1987/sep/page1.html), there are 38 (19x2) non-initialed suras between the first initial (A.L.M. of 2:1) and the last initial (Noon of 68:1). This parameter also informs us that the sequence of suras in today's Qur'an is divinely dictated. 4. The number of occurrences of the word "ALLAH" between the first Qur'anic initials (A.L.M. of 2:1) and the last initial (Noon of 68:1) is 2641, or 19x139. 5. The number of occurrences of the word "ALLAH" outside the initials A.L.M. of 2:1 and Noon of 68:1 is 57, or 19x3. 6. When you add the "numbers" of suras and the "numbers" of verses where these 57 ALLAH words occur, the grand total comes to 2432 [19x128]. Glory be to God!
