    Peace Edip,

    Ayman, it is incredible that you repeat your deception and distortion even though I had exposed and refuted them in the past. Again, you highlight the part of the verse, which lists one the functions of the 19 and ignore the rest. Ironically, the part you highlight is exactly about those who do not acknowledge the number 19, those are who are ingrates (KaFeR).

    Could you please underline or highlight the part in 7431 which says "those who do not acknowledge the number 19"? Is "not acknowledged" or "fitnah" the description given for the counting of 19? Does "fitnah" mean "not acknowledged"? I asked a specific question about what "fitnah" means.

    The rest of the verse exposes your deception.

    The rest of the verse is the result of the highlighted part. So you have to understand the highlighted part to understand the rest of the verse.

    Peace,

    Ayman

      Peace Mazhar,

      I don't get what you are trying to say. Every educated person knows that it is important to know the whole truth and not just the successful attempts or trials. Would you give your children a flu medicine where the pharmaceutical company only shared the successful trials? For example, the pharmaceutical company said that its medicine cured 10,000 flu patients. So you go and buy the flu medicine and give it to your child then you find out that the pharmaceutical company actually tried the medicine on 20,000 flu patients, out of which 10,000 trials failed and the patients died. So the mortality rate of the medicine is 1 in 2 while we know that the mortality rate of the flu is about 1 in 10,000. How worried would you be about your child? It would have been better if you gave him or her nothing or a placebo.

      In the case of Code 19, the placebo or the natural frequency of 19 divisibles is 1 in 19. If Code 19 hunters shared their failed trials then everyone would be able to easily tell if the success rate of Code 19 is better than a placebo or not. THIS IS WHY CODE 19 HUNTERS (OR BIBLE CODE OR WHATEVER CODE) NEVER SHARE THEIR FAILED TRIALS, plain and simple.

      Peace,

      Ayman

      Rashad Khalifa was an absolute cheat and liar. Cheating and fraud is done firstly by clothing the truth with falsehood and by withholding some of the facts from disclosing. He did both the things.

      Rashad Khalifa's Intellectual deceit exposed-What he said was scum.

        It is you who do not believe in quran and keep telling people that they will repent on day of judgement for not believing in your imagination (code-19), so tell us Edip who appointed you to give people this terrible news? laugh

          Peace Edip,

          Would you please tell us what is your answer to this

          Peace Edip,

          ........

          For example, you don't count the little vocalization Alif in "rahman" that you see here when you count the letters of the Bismallah

          http//haqeeqat.org.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Arabic%20Text/002.0138.gif

          But then you turn around and count the same exact little vocalization Alif in "wahed"

          http//haqeeqat.org.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Arabic%20Text/temp%2002%20%202.163%20.gif

          .....

          Peace,

          Ayman

          I Think it is a major point in this debate, but you keep on ignoring this question !
          You always reply to the question before it and the one after it , but never answerd THIS Question !
          if you already answered but i'd missed it for some reason, please re-quote yourself for the benefit of this debate.

          Once again

          Why the Vocalisation Alif is counted in some verses yet skipped in others ?

            Why the Vocalisation Alif is counted in some verses yet skipped in others ? Salam,

            Dear Quickduck

            I thank you for bringing this criticism to my attention, since I do not have time to read all the messages in this or other threads. When I browsed this page I thought it belonged to the person who contested the number of letters in Bismillah. Thus, I did not want to waste my time on it.

            This is a valid and so far the best criticism directed by Ayman. I command him for this criticism. We do not and we should not count that vocalization dagger. Dagger, shadda, diatrical marks are not letters and they are not part of the original spelling of the words. So, the gematrical value of WaHeD (6+8+4) in today's manuscripts cannot be 19, but it is 18. Of course, this creates a major problem in the system. But, knowing the imperfection and inconsistencies in manuscripts and knowing the predictive and corrective power of this highly sensitive system, I am predicting (or speculating) that its original spelling contained an Alif. Interestingly, some scholars of the past considered the word WAHeD (6+1+8+4) spelled with Alif and thus adding up to 19.

            Here is a question If we find some of the oldest manuscripts spelling the word with Alif would Ayman acknowledged the numerical structure of the Quran on the number 19?

            Peace,
            Edip

              You're welcome dear Edip. But don't worry, it happens to me as well i could miss a reply and ask again the same question

              Thank you for admitting this obvious fact.

Interestingly, some scholars of the past considered the word WAHeD (6+1+8+4) spelled with Alif and thus adding up to 19.

              Now i have some more interesting questions , so please explain to me like i was 6 years old,

              1 - Are you telling us that you 19ers, base your theory/miracle upon "predictions" and "speculations" ?

              2 - i need to know what is the difference between the dagger and the Alif ?

              Let's take for example, in the first chapter of Al-Quran (al Fatiha)

              http//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/50/FirstSurahKoran.jpg

              as you can see, in the same al-fatiha, everyone can spot many Alifs as well as many daggers. Do you count them all or just the alifs ?
              Anyway, i counted the letter of al-fatiha in either ways yet the letters didn't add up to a 19 divisible. Feel free to correct me if i am wrong.

              3 - look at the word "Maliki" in the 13, it is written in this screenshot with a dagger instead of the Alif, but in other manuscripts (warsh version) it is spelled with an Alif !!
              Moreover, this very word give different meanings depending on the spelling
              Maliki = king
              MaAliki = possessor
              So wich manuscript has been authorised by God ?

              4 - What is the gematrical value of the word ''Sirata" in 17 ? is there an Alif or a dagger ?

              5 - If your answer will be that the manuscripts we have today are ''imperfect'' and "inconsistent'' and/or may have some words mispelled, so what is THE manuscript you 19ers adopted to count out from ? HAFS, Warsh ?... or do you switch to another manuscript as soon as the first one fails the trial ?

              Here is a question If we find some of the oldest manuscripts spelling the word with Alif would Ayman acknowledged the numerical structure of the Quran on the number 19?

              Ayman will speek for himself )

              Salam

                No... It is based on physical, verifiable and falsifiable facts. At the same time it has error-correction function, which is a well-known feature of all codes.

                2 - i need to know what is the difference between the dagger and the Alif ?

                Arabic Alphabet has 28 letters. You cannot find dagger in the earlier manuscripts. Alif is the first letter of the Arabic alphabet and to distinguish it from the letter L it is SEPARATED from the following letter.

                Let's take for example, in the first chapter of Al-Quran (al Fatiha)

                as you can see, in the same al-fatiha, everyone can spot many Alifs as well as many daggers. Do you count them all or just the alifs ?
                Anyway, i counted the letter of al-fatiha in either ways yet the letters didn't add up to a 19 divisible. Feel free to correct me if i am wrong.

                How many times do I need to repeat it? This is a simple fact that there is no disagreement on it among those who studied the oldest manuscripts.

                3 - look at the word "Maliki" in the 13, it is written in this screenshot with a dagger instead of the Alif, but in other manuscripts (warsh version) it is spelled with an Alif !!
                Moreover, this very word give different meanings depending on the spelling
                Maliki = king
                MaAliki = possessor
                So wich manuscript has been authorised by God ?

                Hundreds of EXTRA Alifs were later ADDED to the Quran manuscript in order to accommodate the non-Arabs. A comparative study among the oldest available manuscript will reveal all the added Alefs.

                4 - What is the gematrical value of the word ''Sirata" in 17 ? is there an Alif or a dagger ?

                It is SiRaT, that is, 90+200+9 = 299.

                5 - If your answer will be that the manuscripts we have today are ''imperfect'' and "inconsistent'' and/or may have some words mispelled, so what is THE manuscript you 19ers adopted to count out from ? HAFS, Warsh ?... or do you switch to another manuscript as soon as the first one fails the trial ?

                We used the most common, HAFS version. Yet, the code exposed a few errors in the manuscript. However, there is a major problem in the count of Alifs, and it requires a serious comparative work. If I could afford it I would to it myself.

                Peace,
                Edip

                  It is not correct since in Qur'aan we find 29 letters of Arabic alphabet; 28 consonants and aleph as letter which is never the part of any Root. Aleph like some others does not join with the next letter. Dagger Aleph also respresent aleph when calligraphically two words are conjoined while preceeding letter was aleph, as is in Ar Rahamaan, between Meem and Noon, see also calligraphical presentation of Kitab with dagger aleph and large aleph in Qur'aan. Sould these two be given varying numeral value?

                    If you do not count dagger Alif which is placed here for beautification of the word instead of complete Aleph, what word you will get? Some word different from Arabic and Qur'aan. And another two letters have not been counted by you, it is not one but two at three places. The very first line and premises of RK is false.

                    I'm a new Muslim and don't speak Arabic, but even I can realize that the shadda didn't exist when the Quran was written, therefor no double lams.. The bismillah only has 19 letters in the original Quran. I even asked an Egyptian Sunni that doesn't believe in code 19. They still said 19 letters.

                    whatever

                      well, you should ask your friend again how many letters are in the word " " "one" ?
                      i bet he will tell you that there are 4 letters because he'll count the alif as a letter, despite the fact that this "alif" is written the exact same way as the dagger alif in the bismillah, hence should not be counted.

                        Ironically, the scholars of dozens of Sunni and Shiite sects who disagreed on almost everything, never had a disagreement about the number of letters in Bismillah BEFORE 1974. (I have sample quotes from them). However, now I hear and read disagreement on this simple issue. Some scholars now claim that Basmalah has 18 letters, some claims it to be 20, 21 and even 22, but not 19.

                        During my live TV debate with the former head of Turkish Religious Affairs, Prof. Suleyman Ate, he claimed that Basmalah has 21 letters. In front of millions of audience. ???

                              Peace Edip,

                              Here is a question If we find some of the oldest manuscripts spelling the word with Alif would Ayman acknowledged the numerical structure of the Quran on the number 19?

                              Your question demonstrates that you don't know much about the development of the Arabic writing system. The oldest manuscripts of the great reading spell the word "wahed" without an Alif for a reason. The reason is that the Old Arabic writing system didn't make use of Matres Lectionis. The use of Matres Lectionis became a standard part of the Arabic writing system much later. This is the case even for non-quranic writings. So for example, in mundane Arabic writings from pre-Quranic times we also see that Matres Lectionis was not used. On the other hand, we see Matres Lectionis increasingly used the more modern the writing. So the older any manuscript or inscription (Quranic or otherwise) the less likely you are to find the spelling of words with an Alif long vowel.

                              Also, it is hypocritical to say the least that you appeal to oldest manuscripts when you don't follow your own advice. It is an indisputable fact that ALL the oldest manuscripts have the word "wahed" spelled without an Alif. So until you wake up from your dream of discovering some non-existent older manuscript that contradicts everything we know about the development of Old Arabic, you should take your own advice and admit that "wahed" is spelled without an Alif and delete or clearly denounce the following deliberate blatant lie in Khalifa's Appendix

                              "The crucial importance of the word "ONE"
                              as the Quran's basic message is manifested
                              in the fact that the Quran's common denominator, 19,
                              happens to be the gematrical value of the word "ONE.""
                              (Source Appendix 1 of the Authorized English translation of the Quran by Dr. Rashad Khalifa)

                              It is a deliberate blatant lie and not an honest mistake because Khalifa certainly tried the word "wahed" with and without the Alif but like a cowardly thief in the night he hid his failed trial without the Alif. Had he shared both trials then we could have considered it an honest mistake due to his ignorance (and yours) of the development of the Arabic script.

                              Also, while you are in the mood of not being a hypocrite and following your own advice of considering the oldest Quanic manuscripts, you might as well delete and denounce all of Appendix 24 since all the oldest manuscripts of Chapter 9 have 9128-129.

                              Peace,

                              Ayman

                                Peace everyone,

                                I'm a former pursuer of 19-based numerology in the reading (quran). Pardon me for joining this thread so late. I hope that what I have to share will be beneficial.

                                First, I have a question. It has been suggested that an oral debate be called "Fitnah or Sign?" - how is that a reasonable title? In the original written debate, Edip was forced by the veracity of the reading (quran) to confess that the count (19) is only a fitnah for those who ungratefully rejected (alladhin kafaru). Edip was forced to admit that the passage translates to we did not make their count except as an afflicting trial (fitnah) for the rejectors . God did not make the count (19) EXCEPT as a fitnah for the rejectors. That is established and indisputable, so how could it be the title of a new debate?

                                My first point is general, and my second is specific. In general, the numbers associated with the end time (yawm al-akhir) - when this world will come to an end and things will be unimaginably different - are allegorical. Also, the numbers associated with the invisible controllers (malaikah) are also allegorical.

                                351
                                351 He makes the controllers messengers with wings - two, three, and four.

                                Are not the wings and their count allegorical?

                                6917
                                6917 The controllers will be at its borders (at the end time), and the throne of your lord will be carried above them by eight.

                                Is eight a mystical count that should be pursued, or an allegory? Isn't the throne also a symbol?

                                7430-31
                                7430-31 On it are ninteen. We did not make associates of the fire except controllers and we did not make their count except as an afflicting trial for the rejectors.

                                The count of "wings" of the controllers (2, 3, and 4), the count of 8 associated with the "throne" of God at the end time, and the count of controllers somehow associated with the fire of hell (19) are allegories. There are also 1000 controllers mentioned in the reading, and 3000, and 5000. But no number has been so widely afflicting to those who reject the no-nonsense reading ( &#1580 as 19.

                                Now, my specific point is regarding what Ayman just said about Khalifa's wahid deception. A few years ago I was in the thick of the Rashad Khalifa cult in North America. Due to Khalifa's gross misrepresentation of the passage in chapter 74, I thought I would be going to hell if I noticed inconsistencies in his 19 counts. However, they were inescapable.

                                On page 625 of Khalifa's last published translation (ISBN 0-934894-57-1 - 1989), he wrote

                                We now understand that the universal coding of God's creations with the number 19 rests in the fact that it is the gematrical value of the word "ONE" in all the scriptural language - Aramaic, Hebrew, and Arabic. ...The Hebrew word for "ONE" is "VAHD" (pronounced V-AHAD). In Arabic, the word for "ONE" is "WAHD" (pronounced WAAHED).

                                Obviously, the value of wahid in the reading is 18, according to the gematria counting scheme. Khalifa had to count invisible letters to push the count to 19, just like adding a letter nun to the passage in 681 to push the authentic count of 132 to 133, 19x7. Furthermore, the Hebrew word va-ahad does not mean "one," it means "and one." It's like saying "and one" (wa-ahad) in Arabic. He had to insert a Hebrew character to force the Hebrew "gematrical" value to be 19. The real value of "one" in Hebrew is 13, if you're into gematria.

                                You have to switch the method of counting and doctor what you're counting in order to force 19 to pop up all over the reading.

                                If being forced by 19-based numerology into manipulation of the book of God is NOT a fitnah (afflicting trial), I'd like to know what is. I honestly can't believe I wasted so many years of my life trying to see 19 everywhere, when all I had to do was translate the passage in 7431 correctly to see that the whole thing is nothing but an afflicting trial for those who reject. What do they reject? The true nature of God (one who does not mess around) and the true nature of the reading (one that contains no nonsense).

                                  Ironically, the scholars of dozens of Sunni and Shiite sects who disagreed on almost everything, never had a disagreement about the number of letters in Bismillah BEFORE 1974. (I have sample quotes from them). However, now I hear and read disagreement on this simple issue. Some scholars now claim that Basmalah has 18 letters, some claims it to be 20, 21 and even 22, but not 19.

                                  During my live TV debate with the former head of Turkish Religious Affairs, Prof. Suleyman Ate, he claimed that Basmalah has 21 letters. In front of millions of audience. ???

                                  Peace,
                                  Edip

                                  Peace everyone,

                                  What Edip is doing is typical he is contrasting his numerological pursuits with the nonsense of the totally idiotic sectarians he has debated. He's saying, "I'm into 19, but they're into some crazy stuff! They can't even count letters!" He's comparing his 19-based religion to the moronic Suleyman Ates of Turkey's religious elite. Why go to extremes? Ates counts 21 letters where there are 19, and Edip counts 133 "N"s in chapter 68 when there are 132. How's that for a fair comparison?

                                  Rashad Khalifa used a similar tactic he never allowed anyone intelligent to debate with him in a fair manner. He stuck to debating really stupid traditionalists who had absolutely no interest in following the word of God alone. So when his followers watch and read his debates, he seems like the smart one, and he's their hero. The truth is that if you listen to Khalifa's audio recordings from "Masjid Tucson," Edip is one of the only people who ever got close to questioning Khalifa in a fair manner. For example, the audio tapes have Khalifa talking about how poor believers are inferior to wealthy ones (based on a bizarre understanding of 1675-76). Edip rightly challenges this nonsense, and as time goes by Rashad turns him into the enemy of the mosque. 5 days before Khalifa was killed he said, in front of everyone, that Edip was going straight to hell for being so arrogant as to argue with him. "He worships his ego ... we love him ... if he does not stop, he will go to hell."

                                  Classic cult-leader manipulation.

                                    By the way, if you ever want to hear Khalifa totally rip into Edip Yuksel and condemn him to eternal hell, download "12. Q-study 1/25/90, Behrouz's khutba, Edip's exposure" - the 12th mp3 here

                                    http//submission.ws/index.php/submission-radio-quran-mp3/quran-studies.html

                                    It's kind of a waste of an hour+ of your life, so I can understand not being interested. But if you want to hear the kind of grip Khalifa had on his people, check it out. Edip's wife cries, Edip has a panic attack, and Khalifa laughs at him. It's really ugly. This is all part of the FITNAH of 19 - a can of worms that leads to changing the reading (e.g. 681), deleting whole sentences from it (9128-129), and accepting Khalfa as a messenger. Just listen to this "messenger" and see if you think he's God's favored servant.

                                      David, I listened to that audio clip.

                                      I agree that its rather ironic that Rashad accuses Edip of idol-worship because he has an opinion. That's humorous because half of the crazy interpretations Rashad had of the Quran is based on nothing but his opinion.. And he passes them off as inarguable fact. Like how he claims (even in that tape) that the "We" plural usage in the Quran denotes that the angels (or other heavenly beings) were somehow involved. 2190 says

                                      2190 So We responded to him, and We granted him John, and We cured his wife. They used to hasten to do good, and they would call to Us in joy and in fear. To Us they were reverent.

                                      We are shown that any good Muslim can only reverence God alone, and only call to God.

                                      Those who deliver GOD's messages, and who reverence Him alone, shall never fear anyone but GOD. GOD is the most efficient reckoner.

                                      The fact is only Him you implore, and He answers your prayer, if He so wills, and you forget your idols.

                                      By Rashad's meaning of "We", the angels helped create the heavens, the earth, humans, the earth, jinns, heavenly beings even helped create the angels themselves, and they will also be reckoners along with Allah, and also have the powers to resurrect.

                                      Rashad's problem was far worse than idolizing his own opinions (which he was also guilty of), but he sets up these angels as partners with God.

                                      Another grotesque example of Rashad's flawed logic is made clear in that audio recording. He says that God is not present on earth, and that this universe cannot stand the presence of God. Oh really? Should we trust the opinion of a human, or what God told us himself?? Rashad even translates this as "Omnipresent", but claims God can't be here! What a lie!

                                      To GOD belongs the east and the west; wherever you go there will be the presence of GOD. GOD is Omnipresent, Omniscient.

                                      Like I said.... Talk about irony...

                                        Peace David,

                                        Thank you for sharing your experience and welcome to the forum.

                                        I'm a former pursuer of 19-based numerology in the reading (quran). Pardon me for joining this thread so late. I hope that what I have to share will be beneficial.

                                        It is always beneficial to hear from former pursuers of 19-based numerology who the god has guided to the truth. It is beneficial for the same reason why none of us have ever seen or will ever see a person who was formerly attracted to the temptation ("fitnah&quot of counting 19 go back to believing in Code 19. More importantly, it is beneficial because that is exactly what 7431 is about.

                                        First, I have a question. It has been suggested that an oral debate be called "Fitnah or Sign?" - how is that a reasonable title? In the original written debate, Edip was forced by the veracity of the reading (quran) to confess that the count (19) is only a fitnah for those who ungratefully rejected (alladhin kafaru). Edip was forced to admit that the passage translates to we did not make their count except as an afflicting trial (fitnah) for the rejectors . God did not make the count (19) EXCEPT as a fitnah for the rejectors. That is established and indisputable, so how could it be the title of a new debate?

                                        Yes, Edip had already lost the debate before it even started. This was also pointed here

                                        http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9597165.msg179926#msg179926

                                        I think that his slip makes it clear that he had already made up his mind and rejected the word "fitnah" and thus what 7431 is saying. He rejected the god's words in 7431 for the sake of Code 19. So we can empirically verify through Edip's own attitude that indeed the counting of 19 is only a temptation for the unappreciative rejecters. After I pointed this out, he changed the title of the debate.

                                        Now, my specific point is regarding what Ayman just said about Khalifa's wahid deception. A few years ago I was in the thick of the Rashad Khalifa cult in North America. Due to Khalifa's gross misrepresentation of the passage in chapter 74, I thought I would be going to hell if I noticed inconsistencies in his 19 counts. However, they were inescapable.
                                        On page 625 of Khalifa's last published translation (ISBN 0-934894-57-1 - 1989), he wrote
                                        We now understand that the universal coding of God's creations with the number 19 rests in the fact that it is the gematrical value of the word "ONE" in all the scriptural language - Aramaic, Hebrew, and Arabic. ...The Hebrew word for "ONE" is "VAHD" (pronounced V-AHAD). In Arabic, the word for "ONE" is "WAHD" (pronounced WAAHED).
                                        Obviously, the value of wahid in the reading is 18, according to the gematria counting scheme. Khalifa had to count invisible letters to push the count to 19, just like adding a letter nun to the passage in 681 to push the authentic count of 132 to 133, 19x7.

He had to insert a Hebrew character to force the Hebrew "gematrical" value to be 19. The real value of "one" in Hebrew is 13, if you're into gematria.

                                        What amazes me is not the deception but the style with which Khalifa presented his deception. I will never be able to understand how he was able to say such fancy words as "universal", "God's creation" and "fact" with a straight face and in the same breath of what he undoubtedly KNEW was a lie that exploits the ignorance of his audience of Quranic Arabic orthography and Hebrew. Such manipulative and obsessive goal-oriented personality is a trait of a pathological liar. Another trait of pathological liars is that they are extremely self-centered, which would also explain his claim of messengership based on a narcissistic vision.

                                        You have to switch the method of counting and doctor what you're counting in order to force 19 to pop up all over the reading.

                                        If being forced by 19-based numerology into manipulation of the book of God is NOT a fitnah (afflicting trial), I'd like to know what is. I honestly can't believe I wasted so many years of my life trying to see 19 everywhere, when all I had to do was translate the passage in 7431 correctly to see that the whole thing is nothing but an afflicting trial for those who reject. What do they reject? The true nature of God (one who does not mess around) and the true nature of the reading (one that contains no nonsense).

                                        As I said in the beginning, this is exactly what 7431 is about. I guarantee that your faith in the god and the great reading has been greatly strengthened once you realized that counting 19 everywhere is nothing but a temptation/trial for the rejecters. It feels great to be certain, doesn't it? It is as if one was sick and got cured.

                                        May the god have mercy on us.

                                        Peace,

                                        Ayman

                                          What amazes me is not the deception but the style with which Khalifa presented his deception. I will never be able to understand how he was able to say such fancy words as "universal", "God's creation" and "fact" with a straight face and in the same breath of what he undoubtedly KNEW was a lie that exploits the ignorance of his audience of Quranic Arabic orthography and Hebrew. Such manipulative and obsessive goal-oriented personality is a trait of a pathological liar. Another trait of pathological liars is that they are extremely self-centered, which would also explain his claim of messengership based on a narcissistic vision.

                                          Highly accurate analysis. Sometimes, a picture can also say a thousand words. Look at this little cartoon by Khalifa, July 1988, from his "Muslim Perspective"

                                          Note that, once again, Khalifa resorts to fighting people like the "National Council of Islamic Affairs." He deliberately contrasted his message to the hogwash of the sectarians. He purposely avoided any confrontation with intelligent people. Unfortunately, that is how many kind-hearted people get trapped. They know that the traditional practices are wrong, but they don't know that there is truth beyond Khalifa, the "purifying messenger." They start off wanting to follow the reading alone (al-quran wahdah), and they end up wasting their lives chasing 19. In the end, they end up attributing to God a "miracle" that doesn't exist. Just look, for example, at how Khalifa's counts changed when he switched from general numerology (1973) to 19-based numerology (1974)

                                          1973 counts, pre-19

                                          Chapter 2 - ALM - 9465 (not a multiple of 19)
                                          Chapter 3 - ALM - 5714 (not a multiple of 19)
                                          Chapter 7 - ALMS - 5349 (not a multiple of 19)
                                          Chapter 10 - ALR - 2522 (not a multiple of 19)
                                          Chapter 11 - ALR - 2514 (not a multiple of 19)
                                          Chapter 12 - ALR - 2405 (not a multiple of 19)
                                          Chapter 14 - ALR - 1206 (not a multiple of 19)
                                          Chapter 15 - ALR - 922 (not a multiple of 19)
                                          Chapter 29 - ALM - 1682 (not a multiple of 19)
                                          Chapter 30 - ALM - 1261 (not a multiple of 19)
                                          Chapter 31 - ALM - 823 (not a multiple of 19)
                                          Chapter 32 - ALM - 581 (not a multiple of 19)

                                          -Source "Miracle of the Quran Significance of the Mysterious Alphabets," Khalifa, 1973

                                          1974 counts, post-19

                                          All above mentioned failures magically became multiples of 19.

                                          Trickery, at it's best.

                                          Peace,
