THE NUMBER "19":
Many genius Muslims have passed by who practically tried to fully delve deep
into the Qur'anic message, or rather a serious question, in which Allah (SWT)
says:
"DO THEY NOT PONDER OVER THE QUR'AN?" [Al-Mu'minoon : V. 68]
To be quite brief, we Muslims have staunch faith that The Qur'an is The Miracle
of Miracles. Not only does it contain psychological, geographical, oceanological,
embryological, psychiatrical, medical, logical, chemical miracles, to top it all
off, this magnificent Final Revelation of The Almighty also contains
Mathematical (Lexical) miracles!
How, you may ask?
Let's see..
Masters of Qur'anic wisdom such as Mr. Harun Yahya and the founder and crew of
The Qur'anic Research Group have unlocked some wonderful mysteries into the
insight of The Qur'an's mathematical miracles and astonishing wonder, revealed
upon an unlettered prophet (SAW) 1400 years ago in the middle of nowhere!
Like The Bible, The Qur'an has a specific set of numerical values assigned to
every individual letter of the Arabic alphabet. For example, ALIF is "1", BAA is
"2", FAA is "80", RAA is "200" and so on. For a detailed numerological list of
assigned values

Islam is the most strongest abrogater of monotheism, strict monotheism to be
precise. No trinity, no son, nothing. Allah is free from such blasphemies and
interpolated attachments. Neither Jesus nor Uzair (Ezra) are the "sons of God".
God is One, or Alone, to be precise.
The numerical equivalent of the Arabic word "wahid" meaning "one" is:
WAA (6) + ALIF (1) + HAA (8) + DAA (4) = 19
Please bear this distinct number in mind. It will be used for reference purposes
later, Insha'Allah.
Anyhow, it seems to be nothing but logical that behind every thing created is a
Creator. Fair enough? Take the example of some items you have bought at a local
shopping store. They all have bar-codes pasted on them for direct
price-verification at the counter via the information contained in those
distinct and unique set of thick/thin black lines.
In the same way, Allah leaves his "bar-codes" or signs (aayaat) in his creations
so that the people who want to find their Creator find him and then bow down
before Him in humbleness and submission. The number "19" is a similar bar-code.
There are other numbers which are also used as "stamps" for proclamations and
creations, they will be discussed later, Insha'Allah.
THE IMPORTANCE OF "19":
Following are the translation of some relevant verses from The Qur'an, which
amazingly give us the precise reason for the number "19" being so important:
THEN SAID HE (The Unbeliever): "THIS IS NOTHING BUT MAGIC, DERIVED FROM OF OLD;
THIS IS NOTHING BUT THE WORD OF A MORTAL!"
SOON I (Allah) WILL CAST HIM INTO HELL-FIRE!
AND WHAT WILL EXPLAIN TO YOU WHAT HELL-FIRE IS?
NEITHER DOES IT PERMIT TO ENDURE, AND NEITHER DOES IT LEAVE ALONE!
DARKENING AND CHANGING THE COLOR OF MAN!
OVER IT ARE NINETEEN (19)
AND WE HAVE SET NONE BUT ANGELS AS GUARDIANS OF THE FIRE; AND WE HAVE FIXED
THEIR NUMBER ONLY AS A TRIAL FOR UNBELIEVERS - IN ORDER THAT THE PEOPLE OF THE
BOOK (Jews & Christians) MAY ARRIVE AT CERTAINTY, AND THE BELIEVERS MAY INCREASE
IN FAITH - AND THAT NO DOUBTS MAY BE LEFT FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK AND THE
BELIEVERS (Muslims), AND THAT THOSE IN WHOSE HEARTS IS A DISEASE AND THE
UNBELIEVERS MAY SAY, "WHAT SYMBOL DOES ALLAH INTEND BY THIS?" THUS DOES ALLAH
LEAVE TO STRAY WHOM HE PLEASES, AND GUIDE WHOM HE PLEASES: AND NONE CAN KNOW THE
FORCES OF YOUR LORD, EXCEPT HIM, AND THIS IS NO OTHER THAN A WARNING TO MANKIND.
[Al-Muddathir : V. 24-31]
To summarize the above verses, the unbeliever in a state of sheer infidelity
mocks at the notion of "19" i.e. monotheism, alleging that it is a form of
magic, or in modern terms, some kind of esoteric freemasonry. But Allah says
that He will throw such a denier in the Sarqa (Hellfire), wherein due to the
intense heat, man's color will blacken, roast, he will burn up, he will be given
new flesh again, and the process keeps repeating itself. The statement neither
does it leave alone refers to the re-giving of new flesh for repeat of
punishment. Over it are nineteen is one of the most amazing statements I have
come across so far. From the next verse we come to know that there will be 19
angels on top of the Hellfire. This is a sign of Truth, especially for the
People of the Book (Jews & Christians) and furthermore, a sign for the existing
believers who are low in faith, there faith will thereforth increase till the
level of staunchness. As we read on, we come to know that the unbeliever will
question as to what Allah implies by the specific quantity of angels. At the
end, we realise that "19" i.e. monotheism and Oneness of Allah is a warning to
all of mankind.

SOME NEWLY DISCOVERED MIRACLES:
It was an average day, that I started getting bored of my preparatory studies
for my Class XII Engineering finals. The same old syllabus, monotony at its
finest, too damning, if you may. I decided to pick up my calculator, the
numerical values were on my mind, I started experimenting with different
Qur'anic verses, words and occurrences. And then I discovered (not made) these
miracles. I thank Allah Almighty for blessing me with this honour. I in no way
intend to boast of my findings. Feel free to share them. Allahu Akbar!!
1. YAJOOJ-MAJOOJ
Yajooj-Majooj are not huge-eared big-toothed monsters. Rather, it refers to two
twin tribes (savage) who are humans like us, but extremely violent, dis-civilized
and ferocious. They are from the offspring of Yafith, son of Prophet Nuh (AS).
The only information from The Qur'an that we get of these two tribes, is that
their ferocious characteristics have been explained by the inhabitants of a
particular tribe, upon whom King Dhul-Qarnayn (the Two-Horned one) stumbled
upon. He had ordered the people to help him build a wall (barrier) between them
and Yajooj-Majooj so that they might not harm them anymore. [1]
These two-tribes are an important end-of-time sign/happening. Very important, to
be precise, as their destruction will be one of the reasons for Prophet Isa's
second coming to this world, before the killing of Dajjal. It is believed by
genetic-specialists that the offspring of Yafith bin Nuh are believed to be all
or atleast a portion of those people who are naturally red-haired. Probably, the
reference is towards the Nordics, Scots, Irish peoples who are mostly from the
lineages of famous Vikings (a savage and barbarious nation).
Anyways,
YAJOOJ = YA (10) + ALIF (1) + JA (3) + WA (6) + JA (3) = 23
MAJOOJ = MA (40) + ALIF (1) + JA (3) + WA (6) + JA (3) = 53
To be noted that Yajooj-Majooj are always mentioned together, whether in The
Qur'an, Hadi'th or in stories reported by famous historians. Hence, it is
suitable to add both their respective values.
23 + 53 = 76
And 76 is a multiple of 19 => (19x4)! Allahu Akbar!
Allah has left His monotheistic imprint, thus verifying the authenticity of
their emergence.
2. THE DAJJAL
The Dajjal refers to the Christian Antichrist who is the most important
end-of-time figure. The word literally means "The Deceiver", one who will claim
false divinity. To be remembered that we are advised by the Prophet Muhammad
(SAW) to memorise the first ten verses of Surah Al-Kahf to protect ourselves
from The Dajjal's fitnas (afflictions). Our Prophet (SAW) further advised us
that The Dajjal would be one eyed, whereas our Lord (Allah) is not one-eyed,
thus explaining the falsehood of the Messiah Dajjal. [2]
DAJJAL = DA (4) + JA (3) + ALIF (1) + LA (30) = 38
And 38 is a multiple of 19 => (19x2)! Allahu Akbar!
Allah has left His monotheistic imprint, thus verifying the authenticity of his
emergence.
3. AL-RAHMAAN
The word is the first of the beautiful names of Allah. It literally means "The
Compassionate". The Qur'an itself testifies to this being Allah's favourite
names as there is a special surah (chapter) entitled with its name called "Surah
Al-Rahmaan", whose very first verse only mentions this name. Hence:
AL-RAHMAAN = ALIF (1) + LA (30) + RA (200) + HA (8) + MA (40) + ALIF (1) + NA
(50) = 330
Though 330 is not a multiple of 19, it is directly a multiple of Allah (66) =>
(66x5)! Allahu Akbar!
Allah has left His own name, thus verifying the magnificence of this beautiful
attribute.
4. MOMINEEN
This Arabic word literally means "those of faith", or rather, conviction. To be
kept in mind that the the stage of momin (singular) is above the rank of a
muslim, as a momin not only surrenders his will to Allah but also has strong
personal conviction and testifies to the Truth with his heart also.
MOMINEEN = MA (40) + WA (6) + MA (40) + NA (50) + YA (10) + NA (50) = 192
Now, the numerical equivalent of Islam is 132. And that of deen is 64. Momineen
are those who not only consider Islam itself as a religion, but also foremostly
as a deen (way of life).
Hence: ISLAM (132) + DEEN (64) = 192 (MOMINEEN)!
Allahu Akbar!
5. AL-KHIDR
There are many narrations on Al-Khidr. As a final deductive result, some believe
him to have passed away, like Ibn Taymiyyah. Others still believe he is alive,
as he reported to have drunk the "Aab-e-Hayat" i.e. 'Water of Life', as reported
by Hafiz Ibn Katheer in his recordings. [3] And Allah Knows Best.
The only mention of Al-Khidr in The Qur'an is in Surah Al-Kahf, where we are
told that Prophet Musa (AS) went with him on a journey, but failed to keep by
his promise of remaining calm and patient. [4]
After reading the relevant verses of Al-Khidr and Musa (AS) in The Qur'an, we
also realise that he was a man gifted with wisdom and guidance by Allah.
AL-KHIDR = ALIF (1) + LA (30) + KHA (600) + DWA (800) + RA (200) = 1631
Now, 1631 is also equal to the numerical value of the verse "FABI AAYI AALA-EE
RABBIKUMA TUKADHIBAAN" i.e. "Then which of the favours of your Lord will you
deny?" Allahu Akbar. This means that we learn that Allah can bestow His special
favours, including guidance and wisdom, upon some of His Servants whenever He
pleases. Allahu Akbar. And so, indeed, which of the favours of Allah can we
deny? Think about it...
6. SIRAATIM-MUSTAQEEM
The word literally means "The Straight Path" or "The Correct Path".
SAWD (90) + RA (200) + ALIF (1) + TAW (9) + MA (40) + SA (60) + TA (400) + QAF
(100) + YA (10) + MA (40) = 950
And 950 is a multiple of 19 => (19x50)! Allahu Akbar!
Allah has left His monotheistic imprint in the mention of the Straight Path!
7. HUSSAYN (R.A.)
He was the grandson of the Prophet (SAW), the second son in line of the
offsprings of Hazrat Ali ibn Abi Talib. Hazrat Hussayn was also a member of the
Ahlul-Bayt i.e. Household of the Prophet (SAW).
We all know how he had sacrificed his life, and those of his family and
relatives, for the protection of Islam from the innovator Yazeed, the cursed.
HUSSAYN = HA (8) + SA (60) + YA (10) + NA (50) = 128
Now, 128 is a multiple of Deen (64) => (64x2)! Allahu Akbar!
The deen of Islam remembers the sacrifice of Hazrat Hussayn, and the
contribution of his family.
8. KHAIRUKUM-MAN TA-ALLAMAL-QUR'AANA WA ALLAMAH
The above is a complete saying of the Prophet (SAW) which means "The best of you
are those who learn The Qur'an and who teach it (to others)". The Hadi'th was
reported on the authority of Hazrat Uthman ibn Affan, the third Rightly-Guided
Caliph and is mentioned in Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal's Musnad.
Now, the numerical equivalent of the above saying equals 2033. And it is a
multiple of 19 => (19x107)! Allahu Akbar!
Allah Has left His monotheistic imprint in this saying of the Prophet (SAW),
thus signifying the immense importance of acquiring Qur'anic wisdom!
9. INNASH-SHIRKA LA-ZULMUN 'AZEEM
"UNDOUBTEDLY, SHIRK (ASSOCIATING PARTNERS WITH ALLAH) IS A GRIEVOUS CRIME"
The numerical equivalent of the above Qur'anic verse is 2622, which is a
multiple of 19 => (19x138)! Allahu Akbar!
Allah Almighty testifies to the seriousness of this blasphemy!
10. AAYAAT
The word means "signs", or rather, "verses", to be more relevant. The Qur'an is
based upon a total of 6666 verses*, which is a direct multiple of Allah (66) =>
(66x101)! Allahu Akbar!
11. LA TARKABUNNA TAWBAQAN 'AN-TAWBAQ
It is verse 19 of Surah Al-Inshiqaaq, meaning "YOU WILL INDEED TRAVEL FROM
STAGE-TO-STAGE"
Verse 18 prior to this verse mentions an oath of Allah, where Allah swears by
the Moon (wal qamari idhat-tasaq).
Miracle analysts believe verse 19, in context of its previous verse, to
foretell, or rather, announce the journey of man to the Moon.
The numerical value of the above verse equals 1045, which is a multiple of 19 =>
(19x55)! Allahu Akbar!
12. PAKISTAN
Yes, probably one of my favourite discoveries. Since the letter Pa does not
exist in Arabic, it is unsuitable to calculate the total of "Bakistan". Hence,
we denote/represent Pakistan by it's sq. area i.e. 796,096 sq. kms. It is a
multiple of Deen (64) => (64x12439)! Allahu Akbar!
Allah has left the imprint of His Deen (system of life), reminding us that
Pakistan was indeed created for the purpose of establishing Deen, as we Muslims
claimed before partition and for which our forefathers sacrificed so many of
their lives, in the form of Khilafah. Allahu Akbar. Imagine the secularist
theories!
13. HIJAAZ
It is the name of the province wherein are situated both the holy sacred cities
of Makkah and Madina.
HIJAAZ = HA (8) + JA (3) + ALIF (1) + ZA (7) = 19!!
Allahu Akbar!!
14. LETTERS IN THE QUR'AN
There are a total of 323,760 letters* used in The Qur'an. Now, this quantity is
also a multiple of 19 => (19x17,040)! Allahu Akbar!!
_________________________
At the end, I would again like to thank Allah for giving me this honor and hope
that you don't take this as a joke, rather as a sound warning.
Lastly, lastly, I would be most thankful if anyone could point out mistakes in
any of the discoveries. I shall be most relieved, as I had to constantly check
and go through all the discoveries carefully before poblication. Alhamdulillahi
Rabbil-'Aalameen. Allahu Akbar!!

the Prophet -- Allah bless and greet him -- said: 'It may be that one of those
who saw me and heard my speech shall meet the Dajjal.' Narrated by Ibn Hibban in
his Sahih (15:181) with a weak chain according to Shaykh Shu`ayb Arna'ut,
However, Imam al-Tirmidhi in his Sunan said it is also narrated from three other
Companions and thus graded the hadith itself "fair and single-chained (hasan
