Out of curiosity i used chatgpt and here is the result:
For Surah Al-Ikhlas, using the same Uthmani Rasm Abjad Method:قُلْ هُوَ ٱللَّٰهُ أَحَدٌ = 320
ٱللَّٰهُ ٱلصَّمَدُ = 200
لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ = 300
وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُۥ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ = 320Grand total = 1,140
1,140 ÷ 19 = 60
So for Surah Al-Ikhlas, it divides perfectly by 19
But same AI For Surah At-Tin using the same Uthmani Rasm Abjad Method:
وَٱلتِّينِ وَٱلزَّيْتُونِ = 1007
وَطُورِ سِينِينَ = 401
وَهَٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ ٱلْأَمِينِ = 911
لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ فِىٓ أَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيمٍ = 1872
ثُمَّ رَدَدْنَٰهُ أَسْفَلَ سَٰفِلِينَ = 1204
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ فَلَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ = 3389
فَمَا يُكَذِّبُكَ بَعْدُ بِٱلدِّينِ = 1046
أَلَيْسَ ٱللَّهُ بِأَحْكَمِ ٱلْحَٰكِمِينَ = 397Grand total:
1007+401+911+1872+1204+3389+1046+397=10227
Division by 19:
10227÷19=538.2631578947
So unlike Surah Al-Ikhlas, Surah At-Tin does not divide evenly by 19 using this same method.

Please be patient with me here, it appears my AI has been messing about, I do apologise. I have an entire book of information written out too, but I need to re-check everything myself now because even my own math ain't mathing
how embarrassing. -
No worries brother my caution is mainly because the Code 19 approach eventually becomes more than just numbers it is also used to reject certain verses as not being part of the Quran. For me, that is too serious of a conclusion to base on calculations that can vary depending on methodology.
Personally, my main interest is not really numerical systems but trying to better understand God and existence itself. And from all the books and ideas I have explored, I find the Quran comes closest to describing God in a way that deeply resonates with reason, consciousness, and reality.
Just todayI was listening to Surah Al-Kahf on TV and honestly some of the verses created a real sense of shock and awe in me. I understand enough Arabic to feel the depth of certain passages directly. That feeling of reflection and awe affects me far more deeply than the idea of a numerical Code 19 system. That is what keeps drawing me toward the Quran more than calculations, do try it brother.

Subhaan'Allah I have been all over the place and got lost in my own writings and calculations. I do have what I promised, I just got lost a little there with my tracking, forgive me please.
Here is the 19 encryption which locks and confirms EVERY SURAH:
It is simply a case of writing the surah as it's abjad values instead of it's Arabic value, stringing all the letters/values together into one super long number and checking if that is divisible perfectly by 19.
Every surah is correct.
Look:
ME: give me surah 1 but give me just the Abjad values of each letter, write the entire surah as the abjad values for each letter stringed together to make one really really long number, don't stop until you've given the entire surah
AI:
Sure! Here are the ABJAD values for each letter in Surah Al-Fatiha (Surah 1), concatenated into one long number.Arabic Text of Surah Al-Fatiha
- بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

ME: give me surah 113 but give me just the Abjad values of each letter, write the full entire surah as the abjad values for each letter stringed together to make one really really long number, don't stop until you've given the entire surah

It seems that ABJAD is the key here.
Please excuse me, my writings and calculations are all over the place, I'm discovering patterns left, right and centre and my AI is bugging out.
(Seriously, the AI lies to me, sometimes it throws in random Hebrew or Russian alphabet letters - it's a very strange tool to work with)
I have a feeling the keys will be found here:
Writing the surahs as their abjad instead of letters.
Including the verse number and abjad total etc.
insha'Allah I will be back soon with more updates.
Asalaamu alaikum

Salam Steven.
Your AI is showing you what it thinks you want to see. The calculations you have presented are severely flawed as many times it skips the "alif" and in one instance it even skips completely an "alif laam" just so it can give you the results you want to see.
Nothing to see here.

I can appreciate that Rashad Khalifa identified some intriguing numerical patterns, and I understand why some people find the Code 19 theory compelling. But for me, the critical point is what happens when the theory reaches verses 9:128–129.
At that stage, the discussion is no longer simply about mathematical observations. It becomes a question of authority and methodology. Do we judge the Quran through a mathematical theory, or do we judge theories through the Quran?
Someone can always argue that verses 9:128–129 were later insertions because they disturb the numerical structure. But then another person tomorrow could develop a different theory and begin questioning other verses as well. That is where I personally become cautious.
And this discussion also does not remain limited to mathematics alone. Many followers of Rashad Khalifa eventually accepted his claim of being a messenger. So naturally the matter expands beyond simple numerical observations and enters theological territory.
For me, a numerical system may support faith for some people, but it should not become the mechanism that decides the authenticity of the Quranic text itself. Otherwise, the theory slowly becomes the authority over the Book rather than a reflection upon it.

The famous Bukhari narration often quoted in this discussion says that during the compilation of the Quran, Zayd ibn Thabit stated that he found the last verses of Surah At-Tawbah (9:128–129) only with Abu Khuzaimah al-Ansari.
This narration is one of the points Rashad Khalifa himself referenced while arguing that verses 9:128–129 were later additions and not originally part of the Quran. See his Appendix 24: “Tampering with the Word of God”
What I personally find interesting, however, is this:
Rashad Khalifa strongly promoted the “Quran alone” approach and rejected Hadith literature as unreliable or fabricated when used as religious authority. Yet in defending the exclusion of these two verses, he himself appeals to a Hadith report from Bukhari to support the argument.
I am simply saying that, methodologically, I find this difficult to reconcile. If Hadith literature is fundamentally unreliable, then using a Hadith narration to justify removing Quranic verses feels, at least to me, somewhat selective and raises important questions about consistency of code 19.
-
I have a genuine question here as we follow the QURAN-alone approach, and I am asking it sincerely because I am trying to understand the methodology consistently.
The QURAN says Allah Himself will preserve the Reminder, and as believers we accept that. But historically, through what mechanism did the QURAN that we physically hold in our hands today actually reach humanity?
The conventional Islamic understanding is that revelation came gradually to the Prophet, companions memorized it, parts were written on parchments, leather, bones, leaves, stones, and other materials, then later compiled and standardized during the periods of Abu Bakr and Uthman. We also have ancient manuscripts today found in places like Yemen, Turkey, Tashkent, Birmingham, Sana’a and elsewhere, which are studied as part of QURANic preservation history. The same broader historical framework also gives us the narratives surrounding Makkah, Madinah, the companions, the scribes, the reciters, the compilation process, and the transmission of the text across generations.
However, many QURAN-alone/QURANist perspectives strongly reject Hadith literature, chains of narration, memorization traditions, large parts of early Islamic historical transmission, and sometimes even broader historical narratives connected to Makkah, Madinah, geography, and the companions themselves.
So my question is this:
If much of the surrounding historical transmission framework is considered unreliable or rejected, then through what historical process exactly did the QURAN we possess today survive intact and become universally transmitted across the Muslim world?
Was the preservation still carried through the same early Muslim community and historical processes described in conventional Islamic history? If yes, then how do we consistently determine which parts of that historical tradition are accepted and which are rejected? And if not, then what alternative explanation of preservation and transmission is being proposed?
I am genuinely interested in understanding how people reconcile this question methodologically, historically, and logically.

@Fusion I agree with your statement. While Code 19 is clearly provable and evident in many aspects of the Quran, it’s this lazy approach of trying to force results without doing the proper work that does lots of damage. The example of how “N” becomes “NWN” is just lazy and even silly. Same goes for 9:128-129.
I would rather the problem with the extra “Allah” was dealt with a bit more objectively.
