Miracle of 19: The Ultimate Proof

Introduction: 

Early in the morning of the 31^st of January 1990, Rashad Khalifa, was savagely murdered by a disbeliever at the mosque of Tucson in Arizona, USA. He was stabbed no less than 29 times, which fully displays the level of hatred against the victim. Almost a year before, on February 19, 1989 a group of 38 Ulamas (“Muslim scholars”), representing the highest authorities of the traditional Muslim world, had met in Saudi Arabia to discuss the issue and fate of Salman Rushdi and Rashad Khalifa, whom they suspected of being infidels. The fatwa (religious decree) which was issued made the headline news in Muslim countries, as well as the rest of the world: "both Rashad Khalifa and Salman Rushdi are apostates." In the traditional Sunni and Shiite world such a fatwa is clearly a death sentence and a call for assassination. According to corrupted medieval religious traditions such as Hadiths (so called sayings of the prophet Muhammad which represent, with the Quran, the foundation of traditional Islam), an apostate shall be executed. Salman Rushdi, a writer of Indian origin, had already been sentenced to death a few days before, on February 14, 1989 by the Ayatollah Khomeini, the leader of the Iranian Shiite fundamentalist regime. He had become overnight world famous. But who knew Rashad Khalifa, a doctor in biochemistry, and Imam of a small mosque in Tucson, Arizona? Both of them had one important thing in common: The issue of “satanic verses”. It was actually the title of the latest book of Salman Rushdie which had been declared blasphemous by Sunni and Shiite Muslim authorities; Rashad Khalifa had actually gone far beyond Rushdie in the eyes of Muslim clerics: He had proclaimed that the last two verses of sura 9 (9:128-129) were not part of the Quranic revelation, and therefore a scheme of Satan. We will see why.

Breaking News: 19 years after Rashad Khalifa's murder (!), "on Tuesday, April 28, 2009 the Calgary Police Services of Canada arrested Glen Cusford Francis, a 52-year-old citizen of Trinidad and Tobago, on suspicion of killing Rashad Khalifa. Investigators in Tucson learned that Francis who was going by the name Benjamin Phillips had began his studies under Khalifa in January 1990. Phillips disappeared shortly after the slaying and was said to have left the country. An investigation revealed Phillips and Francis were the same man upon discovering finger prints found in Phillips apartment. A specialty unit of the Tucson Police Department furthered in its investigation in 2006 and in December of 2008 and was able to use DNA testing on forensic evidence from the crime scene to tie Francis to the assassination".

1. Rashad’s Khalifa’s death coded mathematically

Rashad’s biggest contribution and inspiration was to proclaim the worship of God alone based on God’s revelations alone (the Quran). He proclaimed that Muslims traditions, called Hadiths and Sunnah, are man made innovations which should be discarded simply because they are not part of Quran. The last revelation states in the strongest manner it is fully detailed and self sufficient: we do not need any traditions to explain or understand it. Most importantly, he proclaimed that the true profession of faith in Islam is: ‘La elaha ela Allah” (There is no other god beside God).

Adding the name of Muhammad or any other name beside God is idol worship:

﴾39:45﴿ When God alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter shrink with aversion. But when others are mentioned beside Him, they become satisfied.

Rashad Khalifa declared his messengership in accordance with God’s will. It was found that the root word Rashada occurs 19 times in the Quran, as well as the fact both words “Rashad” and “Khalifa” combined generate multiples of 19 in the Quran as well (see appendix 2 of his Quran translation).

The numerical value (or Gematrical Value) of Rashad is [ر = R = 200; ش = Sh = 300; ا = A = 1; د = D = 4 (505)] and Khalifa is [خ = Kh = 600; ل = L = 30; ي = Ya = 10; ف = F = 80; ﺓ = Ta marbuta or Ha (same gematrical value and shape) = 5 (725)].

Therefore, the gematrical value of Rashad Khalifa, as witnessed and calculated by himself during his lifetime is 505 +725 = 1230.

Another of the major contributions of Rashad Khalifa was to prove historically and mathematically with code 19, in the most incontrovertible manner, that verses 9:128-129 are not part of the Quran (See http://www.submission.org/tampering.html).

Rashad’s message, proclaiming, “There is no other god beside God”, was shining with so much truth, that it triggered rage and hatred from the traditional Muslim world. By God’s grace, Rashad was ready to fulfill his mission no matter what: he stood for the truth, he was ready to die for the truth, and he eventually did.

The Ulamas ordered his assassination, and Rashad, God’s messenger of the Covenant, was horrendously martyred in Tucson (USA) on the 31^st of January 1990:

﴾3:54﴿ They plotted and schemed, but so did GOD, and GOD is the best schemer.

﴾9:32﴿ They want to put out GOD's light with their mouths, but GOD insists upon perfecting His light, in spite of the disbelievers. ﴾9:33﴿ He is the One who sent His messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth, and will make it dominate all religions, in spite of the idol worshipers.

What the disbelievers didn’t know is that God’s reply to the disbelievers is terrible, both in this world and in the hereafter. The criminals didn’t know Rashad’s assassination would open a new era, with God manifesting to the world, through his martyrdom, a miracle above and beyond any creature in the universe can possibly perform.

Shortly before his martyrdom, Rashad Khalifa proclaimed:

Through Gabriel: I was commanded to make this announcement:   AFTER I DIE MILLIONS OF BELIEVERS WILL KNOW That I represent the Messiah the Jews have been waiting for, the Christ Christians have been expecting, the Mehdi the Muslims have been praying for...I am God's Messenger of the Covenant [Malachi 3:1-8, Quran 3:81]

 

God’s reply is awesome

A new era begins

God’s reply to fundamentalist Muslims was to code mathematically with the miracle of 19 and a superhuman mathematical system Rashad’s date of martyrdom on 31/01/1990:

1.1 First level of explanation

A Profound Sign

As explained earlier, Rashad’s most momentous discovery regarding the miracle of 19 was the discovery of the function of the Quranic initials which preface 29 of the 114 suras (19 x 6) of the Quran. With Rashad’s date of martyrdom, we witness a profound mathematical system based on the 29 initialed suras, pointing at sura 19, first and last verse of the sura:

• The 1230^th verse  in the Quran in initialed suras from the beginning of the Quran, is the first verse of sura 19 (verse 19:1 inclusive)! (1230 being the gematrical value of Rashad Khalifa)

• The 1327^th verse  in the Quran in initialed suras, from the beginning of the Quran, is the last verse of sura 19 (verse 19:98 inclusive)!

Thus, sura 19 is outstandingly defined and delimited by numbers 1230 and 1327 in the 29 suras system!

Table 1: Suras beginning with initials in the Quran up to sura 19 in the 29 suras system: Rashad was stabbed 29 times, God replied with the 29 suras system:

Remark: After sura 19, there are 19 suras left in the system.

Profound signs:

► The addition of the gematrical values of all Quranic initials up to the first verse of sura 19 is 1924, and 19:1 intersects with the 1230^th (1230 = GV Rashad Khalifa) verse in the initialed suras system:

1924 + 1230 = 3154 = 19 x 166.

► The first verse of sura 19 are the Quranic initials KHYAS, GV 195, and as we know, it is the intersection with the 1230^th verse in the 29 initialed suras system (Rashad Khalifa was stabbed 29 times and he is the one who discovered the miracle of 19):

195 + 1230 = 1425 = 19 x 75

► It is interesting to note that the 5 initials of sura 19 concatenated generate a multiple of 19:

205107090 = 19 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 359837

► The addition of the gematrical values of all verses where sets of initials are found up to sura 19, sura 19 inclusive, is:

19285 = 19 x 1015

No other verse where initials are found in the 29 suras system generates a multiple of 19 in a similar way, sura 19 is unique in this regard. 

► Up to sura 15, right before sura 19 in the system, 5 different initial letters are used:

A (1) + L (30) + M (40) + Saad (90) + Ra (200) = 1 + 30  +40  +60 + 200 = 361 = 19 x 19

► The addition of all combinations of initials of these 5 letters up to sura 15, sura 19 non inclusive is:

71 + 71 + 161 + 231 + 231 + 231 + 271 + 231 + 231 = 1729 = 19 x 91

Such a proof is a very obvious way to point at sura 19 (like an arrow) as a profound sign.

Frequency of the letters.

► 31011990 = 19 x 1230 x 1327: We also witness the fact that 19 referring to 1230 and 1327 again reflects the miracle of 19:

Numbers 1230 and 1327: 1 + 2 + 3 + 0 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 7 = 19 

► Rashad has been stabbed to death 29 times:

31011990 = 19 x 1230 x 1327 = 1 + 9 +  1 + 2 + 3 + 0 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 7 = 29.

The criminals can run, but they can’t hide from God Almighty.

29, again, is the number of the 29 suras where sets of Quranic initials occur, which display a miraculous pattern of multiples of 19 and protect the Quran mathematically. Rashad was stabbed 29 times and it is clear that God responded with an astounding miracle involving the 29 suras system to expose people who conspired to kill him and prove he was indeed one of the messengers.

1.2 Second level of explanation

God’s profound message is profound and clear:

► 1327 matches only one verse in the entire Quran: Sura 13, verse 27.

﴾13:27﴿ Those who disbelieve would say, "If only a miracle could come down to him from his Lord (we would then believe)." Say, "GOD sends astray whomever He wills, and guides to Him only those who obey."

3 verses later (Verse 13:30) in the Quran, God confirms God's Messenger of the Covenant:

﴾13:30﴿ We have sent you (O Rashad) to this community, just as we did for other  communities in the past. You shall recite to them what we reveal to you, for they have disbelieved in the Most Gracious. Say, "He is my Lord. There is no god except He. I put my trust in Him alone; to Him is my ultimate destiny."

One of the functions of number 1327 is to refer to verse 13:27, the other is to point at verse 19:98, the 1327^th verse in the 29 suras system.

Is there a correlation between verse 13:27 and the 1327^th verse in the 29 suras system?

► In the 29 initialed suras system, from verse 13:27 to the 1327^th verse of the system (19:98) (both verses inclusive) there are 266 verses:

266 = 19 x 14

The following fact was witnessed in 1992:

► Rashad’s death points at Sura 19, first verse and last verse. Sura 19 is an initialed sura, and contains 5 Quranic initials (the largest set of Quranic initials in the Quran). Such initials are found 798 times in sura 19, and 798 = 19 x 42. Rashad Khalifa, who unveiled the miracle of 19, was Born in Egypt on the 19^th of November 1935 and died on the 31^st of January 1990: He spent very exactly 19798 days on earth (both dates inclusive), 19798 = 19 x 1042 !

It is easy to verify this fact for yourself, for instance at the following website: http://www.timeanddate.com/date/duration.html (don’t forget to click on “Include end date in calculation” so both start date and end date are taken into account.

The fact the 29 suras system provides so many proofs regarding Rashad’s martyrdom, in such an overwhelming and systematic way, cannot escape notice; He was stabbed 29 times, who will dare to claim it is a coincidence?

God’s messenger of the Covenant was indeed sent with “One of the greatest miracles, the miracle of 19, but he was rejected, ridiculed, despised and eventually martyred in the most horrendous manner. Ironically, people rejected the miracle of 19, one of the greatest miracles (74:35), when it was right in their eyes, and still dared to ask for a miracle (13:27).

2. The Prophetic dimension of 1327

﴾13:27﴿ Those who disbelieve would say, "If only a miracle could come down to him from his Lord (we would then believe)." Say, "GOD sends astray whomever He wills, and guides to Him only those who obey."

﴾19:98﴿ Many a generation before them we annihilated; can you perceive any of them, or hear from them any sound?

Rashad, shortly before he departed this world, made a prophecy and as usual he was ridiculed: He predicted that a giant asteroid would hit the middle east, killing millions of people, not knowing exactly when it would happen. He declared this will be the fulfillment of the prophecy of the smoke (44:10), because, as result of the impact, planet earth will be covered with a cloud of dust for several months, plunging our planet into darkness, and reflecting the level of faith of human beings. God alone knows when the prophecy will be fulfilled.

Therefore, in my opinion, it is clear that one of the meanings and functions of the miracle of 31011990 in relation to number 1327 is the announcement in a hidden manner of a terrible RETRIBUTION.

﴾19:98﴿ Many a generation before them we annihilated; can you perceive any of them, or hear from them any sound?

3. 19, the proof: who is the messenger in 98:2?

In the 29 initialed suras system, from the 1230^th verse (1^st verse of sura 19) to the 1327^th (last verse of sura 19), both verses inclusive, there are 98 verses. Sura 19 has 98 verses, and it is “the proof” (Sura 98 is entitled “the Proof” and the Gematrical Value of the word “the proof” = 98 !) that Rashad Khalifa is the messenger of God. It is noteworthy that the word “the proof” occurs 19 times in the entire Quran. The last and 19^th time the word is mentioned is in sura 98, entitled “The Proof”.

﴾10:82﴿ GOD establishes the truth with His words, despite the criminals.

31011990 = 19 x 1230 x 1327

God has given His testimony and issued His judgment.

Who is the messenger in 98:2?

4. The hidden meaning behind verse 19:19

The miracle of 19 is not called the “Hidden" (secret) in sura 74 for no reason: for example, verse 19:19 is about the creation of Jesus which according to Quran and verse 43:61, serves as a marker for knowing the end of the world (the birth of Jesus marks the beginning of the solar calendar) and this is the obvious part of the verse. That is to say Quran acknowledges and displays miracles both in the lunar and solar calendar. Let us bear in mind that the Quran is a numerically structured book (83:9) one simple example being that it contains 365 times the word day, clearly acknowledging the solar calendar as well. Quran even provides the exact difference, a scientific wonder, between a solar and lunar year in 18:25:

309:300 = 1.03 = Exact scientific lunar/solar year ratio.

► Hidden part of verse 19:19: it establishes a connection with number 1919 (19 x 101)  which happens to be the GV of the key expression “only a messenger he chooses" in 72:27, which refers to the advent of the messenger of the covenant, Rashad Khalifa (Read appendice 2 of Rashad Khalifa’s translation).

﴾72:27﴿ Only to a messenger that He chooses (GV 1919), does He reveal from the past and the future, specific news. 

► It is noteworthy that by identifying and removing the two false verses at the end of sura 9, the profound fact that the four words of the Bismillah (the foundation verse of the Quran) are found in 1919 verses in the Quran (19 x 101) was restored, as well as a plethora of others.

► Number 19 occurs for the 19^th times in the Quran (sura 1 has only 7 verses) in verse 19:19 (18 times as a verse number, once as a sura number).

► Incredibly, and again in a hidden manner, verse 19:19 provides the death of Rashad Khalifa: 19:19 has 31 letters and a GV of  1990: Do we know anyone who was assassinated on the 31^st (day) of 1990?

﴾19:19﴿ He said, "I am the messenger of your Lord, to grant you a pure son."       (قال انما انا رسول ربك لاهب لك غلما زكيا).

31 Letters; GV = 1990

19:19: 31 letters yield 1990. Thus, the messenger who discovered the miracle of 19 has his date of martyrdom, the 31^st (day) of 1990 coded in verse 19:19 of the Quran, which is the 19^th time number 19 occurs in the Quran, and the 19^th verse from the 1230^th verse (1230 = GV Rashad Khalifa) in the 29 suras system. 19:19 is a profoundly significant verse and number in many regards and it is also a confirmation that Rashad Khalifa was indeed the messenger prophesized in 72:27, “Only to a messenger that He chooses” (GV 1919).

This type of proof is very similar to the concatenation of sura 19 and the frequency of the Quranic set of initials in the sura (798): we get 19798 which happens to be the number of days Rashad spent on earth: it doesn’t tell you these are days. People who are sincere and study the miracle of the Quran simply know in their hearts this is just too big to be a coincidence; at the same time it leaves the door open for those who wish to walk away and will refuse to believe no matter what kind of proof you show them.

5. Mathematics: the language of God

“Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe” (Galileo).

As an introduction, it is important to understand that Quran definitely speaks the language of prime numbers and much more, for example the following mathematical property of the Bismillah, first verse of the Quran:

► The gematrical values of the four words of the Bismillah are Bism (102) + Allah (66) + Al Rahman (329) + Al Raheem (289)

Each of these four numbers allow a number of prime numbers up to their value:

102: 26 prime numbers between 0 and 102

66: 18 prime numbers between 0 and 66

329: 66 prime numbers between 0 and 329

289: 61 prime numbers between 0 and 289

26 + 18 + 66 + 61 = 171 = 19 x 9

It also reflects the fact Al Rahman, 329, the highest gematrical value of the four words of the Bismillah, allows 66 (GV Allah) prime numbers up to 329. A symbol of great importance given the fact the Bismillah is the foundation of the Quran and the mathematical miracle of 19.

31/01/1990 = 31011990 = 19 x 1230 x 1327: Breaking down the date of Rashad's martyrdom is such a way, we see that Rashad Khalifa’s gematrical value is surrounded by two prime number: 19 and 1327. Since both of them are prime numbers, by definition they cannot be divided by other than themselves, and therefore they completely “lock” any further division surrounding number 1230. Now, even though 1230 is the gematrical value of Rashad Khalifa (the messenger of God who discovered the miracle of 19 and died on 31/01/1990), some insincere people may still claim that it is arbitrary to select specifically 1230 because it is not a prime number and 1230 divides in 2 x 3 x 5 x 41. Such people will be stunned by what follows:

The first verse of sura 19 is the 1230^th verse in the 29 initialed suras system and there are 1019 verses before sura 19 in the non initialed sura system (the 10^th initialed sura is sura 19, if we concatenate we have also 1019). Let us study these two numbers:

Prime factorization:

► 1230 = 2 x 3 x 5 x 41 The index* of the individual prime numbers are:

1+2+3+13 = 19 !

(2 is the 1^st prime number then 3, is the 2^nd, then 5 is the 3^rd, then 41 is the 13^th)

* What is the index of a prime number?: Example 41 is the 13^th prime number, the index of 41 is 13.

What is the miracle which 1230 (Rashad Khalifa) discovered? 19 !

Remark: after witnessing this new system and to make things simple, I decided to call the process of breaking down any number doing a prime factorization and adding up the individual indexes a “prime identity”.

► 1019 = 171^st prime number = 19 x 9

Therefore, the 2249 verses up to verse 19:1 in the Quran are miraculously divided in two systems (initialed and non initialed suras) and yield two numbers, 1230 and 1019 which are coded with 19 in a hidden manner using the very same system of calculation.

► Now if anyone has any doubt left (is it still possible?), what is the only verse in the Quran which mentions 19 in letters and points out at the miracle of 19? It is verse 74:30:

﴾74:30﴿ عليها تسعة عشر             

“Over it is nineteen”

The gematrical value of this most profound verse is 1221.

Let us analyze 1221 the very same way:

► Prime factorization of 1221 = 3 x 11 x 37

The prime identity is the following: 2 + 5 + 12 = 19 ! (2 is the 1^st prime number, then 5 is the 3^rd, then 37 is the 12^th)

Rashad Khalifa (prime identity is 19) discovered, by God’s grace, that “Over it is 19” (prime identity is also 19).  Statistically this is extremely significant: It is rare for any given number, after a prime factorization, that its prime identity is 19.

► Sura 74 verse 30:

Sura 74: 74 = 2 x 37. The prime identity is: 1 + 12 = 13

Verse 30:  30 = 2 x 3 x 5. The prime identity is: 1 + 2 + 3 = 6

If we combine the prime identities of 74:30 (74 and 30), we get:

1 + 12 + 1 + 2 + 3  = 19 !

► Rashad Khalifa (1230) discovered that “Over it is 19 (GV 1221) Both numbers have a prime identity of 19:

1230 + 1221 = 2451 = 19 x 129

► We saw earlier that sura 19 has 98 verses and the profound connection with Rashad’s assassination. 19 is the proof (GV 98) of the Quran.

If we concatenate 19 and 98 we get 1998 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 37

The prime identity is: 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 12 = 19

► Up to 19:98 there are 2346 verses in the Quran.

2346 = 2 x 3 x 17 x 23.

The prime identity is: 1 + 2 + 7 + 9 = 19

A few other examples:

► Using the same system, the word "Most Gracious”, one of the attributes of God in the Bismillah (Al Rahman GV 329, which is found 57 times, 19 x 3, in the Quran) also yields 19:

GV Al Rahman = 329 = 7 x 47.

The prime identity is: 4 + 15 = 19

Between number 1 and 329 there are 66 prime numbers and 19 is the addition of the prime indexes of 329.

► Number 6619, meaning “God” and “One” or “Unique”, is a prime number. 6619 is the 855^th prime number, 19 x 45, and 855 is the gematrical value of the “7 pairs” (GV “7 pairs” = 855 = 19 x 45) as written in 15:87 (سبعا من المثانى). The 7 pairs are the 14 Quranic initials arranged in 14 sets of initials which we find in the 29 initialed suras system. One of the many functions of the 7 pairs was to code Rashad Khalifa’s death mathematically in the Quran.

► Another major example among many is the fact the total gematrical value of all 1072 letters in sura 66 (GV of Allah, “God”, is 66) is:

85633 = 19 x 4507

Prime factorization of 85633 = 19 x 4507

The prime identity is:  8 + 611 = 619

619 is the 114^th prime number (The Quran contains 114 suras or chapters, 114 = 19 x 6) and it is the symbol in the Quran that Islam is going to prevail on earth (read verses 6:19 and 61:9).

Obviously there are lots of marvelous words and expression coded according to the same design in the Quran.

Therefore when we read 31011990 = 19 x 1230 x 1327, the middle number, 1230, as well as the others are of heavy significance whether it is the date or the related context in the Quran (sura 19). They have been designed by God to reflect the miracle of 19 above and beyond any human capabilities.

► Major proof using the same system :

The Bismillah and its 19 letters are the foundation of the Quran and the mathematical miracle of 19. Number 2888 is not only the combined frequency of the four words of the Bismillah, but also a double multiple of 19 (2888 = 19 x 19 x 8). Therefore number 2888 symbolizes the Bismillah and the entire distribution of its four words throughout Quran in 1919 verses.

Prime factorization of 2888:

2888 = 19 x 19 x 2 x 2 x 2

The prime identity is:  8 + 8 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 19

► Also it is noteworthy that the index of 19 being number 8 (19 is the 8^th prime number), the prime factorization of 2888 reflects it as well:

2888 = 19 x 19 x 8

The GV of Allah (God) is 66.

Prime factorization of 66: 2 x 3 x 11

The prime identity is: 1 + 2 + 5 = 8

We know that 8 is the index of 19. The prime identity of 66 is also 8. 2888 yields 19 x 19 x 8, obviously not a coincidence. It is also noteworthy that the word "God" occurs 8 times in sura 19, not a coincidence either. It is another profound sign that “God is One” and that the Quran is mathematically structured and reflects the mathematical laws that God designed in the universe.

﴾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?

6. Why was the date displaying the miracle specifically coded as 31/01/1990?

The answer is obvious: The format Day/Month/Year and the Gregorian (solar) calendar is by far the most widely used way to display a date in the world today. God wants humankind to witness and understand His miracles and he uses languages (calendar, mathematics) accessible to everyone, not just a minority.

Another Quranic prophecy identified by Rashad Khalifa, “the splitting of the moon”, happened when Apollo 11 left the moon carrying lunar rocks: The moon split (experienced a separation) on a date which, when displayed exactly in the same calendar and fashion, reflects the miracle of 19 in all its beauty, so it would be witnessed by present and future generations all around the world: 

► Apollo left the moon on the 21^st of July 1969 at 17: 54: 1 (Universal Time) or 1: 54: 1 (EDT): 

► 21/07/1969 = 21071969 = 19 (GV “One”) x 67 (GV “the divinity”) x 16553

﴾54:1﴿ The Hour has come closer, and the moon has split (experienced a separation).

► Profound sign: The word “the moon” occurs for the 19^th time in the Quran in 54:1 (sura 54: 54 is the GV of “elahoon waahedun”: "One Divinity", as written in 6:19 for instance), This is the sign the date of the splitting of the moon would be coded with 19 in a miraculous manner.

► 54 :1 is the 4845^th verse (54:1 inclusive) from the beginning of the Quran (4845 = 19 x 255).

► After 54:1 (54:1 non inclusive), there are 1389 verses left in the Quran, which is the lunar year for the moon landing.

Same thing for the mathematical miracle of 19, mentioned in sura 74: Rashad Khalifa discovered it in 1974, 1406 lunar years (19 x 74) after the revelation of the Quran. In this particular case, God used both lunar and solar calendars to ascertain the truth, so it would be witnessed by both Muslims and non Muslims.

7. The definition of a messenger:

Let us remind everyone once and for all that Rashad Khalifa never claimed to be a prophet. According to Quran, the last revelation, Muhammad is the last prophet (33:40). Traditional Islam has distorted, because of baseless traditions (Hadiths and Sunna) and lack of knowledge, the meaning of several words in the Quran. One of them is the word messenger. According to Quran, every prophet is a messenger, but not every messenger is a prophet.  The fundamental difference is that a prophet receives a new revelation (scripture). A messenger who is not a prophet will not receive a new revelation (for more details read appendix 2 of Rashad Khalifa’s translation). A messenger is supported by one or several miracles, clearly preaches the purity of Islam, and is sent to purify religion at times when is has been severely distorted. Contrary to Sunni or Shia beliefs, a messenger is not perfect and does make mistakes; the only perfect messenger is Quran.

8. God’s universal system of justice

In the Quran and Holy Scriptures we are told stories about messengers and people who were either killed or incurred terrible persecutions mostly (but not only) because of their faith.

• For instance Joseph was thrown into the well and left either to die or to be picked up by a caravan to be sold as a slave. Many years later God elevated him and shame was the fate of his brothers whose lies and actions were exposed (sura 12).

• The people of Israel incurred the most terrible persecution from Pharaoh as all newborn males were systematically massacred and the people of Israel were turned into slavery. God turned the most horrible form of persecution, killing babies, into a curse to the land of Egypt and stroke them with the very object of their persecution: He sent Moses, who as a newborn baby was supposed to be put to death, in a basket floating down the Nile River just to be rescued by the family of Pharaoh. Doing so, God planted the seed of their destruction right in their midst; They raised him and years later, the first miracle of a series of profound miracles was performed right in front of the eyes of Pharaoh: Moses threw down his staff which turned into a tremendous snake that swallowed the baseless magic of the magicians who were trying to compete and imitate the snake of Moses. Pharaoh and his army were eventually drowned and humiliated by the ultimate of a series of miracles they had all rejected: the sea parted and “swallowed” them.

• The people of Israel despised, persecuted and rejected John and Jesus: they arrogantly refused to reform in spite of a profound and beautiful message and rejected the miracles. They plotted against them, John was murdered according to the Gospels and attempted to crucify Jesus (he actually was saved by God before it actually happened according to Quran). 40 years later, the people of Israel lost forever their Sacred Temple (destroyed in 70 CE) as prophesized in Mark 13:1-4. As a result, they were defeated by the Romans, humiliated, and scattered around the world (the great Diaspora).

• The Arab idol worshipers persecuted and attempted to kill Muhammad and his followers because of the sacred revelation (Quran) he was sent with. God made him and Islam prevail: the idol worshipers lost the Sacred Temple of Abraham as their place of worship (The “Sacred Masjid” of Mecca) and incurred shame in this world and in the hereafter.

• Rashad Khalifa was sent with “one the greatest miracle” and profound signs (read appendices of his Quran translation). He explained the significance of the 29 initialed suras system. He unveiled the miracle of 19, purifying the Quran from two false verses, and Islam from baseless and often horrendous traditions (Hadiths and Sunna). He proclaimed that “there is no other god beside God”. He was finally assassinated in a way (can anyone count up to twenty nine ?!) that displays the level of rage and hatred against the message he was preaching, and what a beautiful message for the sincere!

One thing is certain: in the entire history of mankind, the criminal who assassinated Rashad could not possibly have picked a worst date, even in his worst nightmare: 31/01/1990 = 31011990 = 19 x 1230 x 1327; a date that would backfire at people wjo reject the message, exposing their guilt above and beyond certainty, and make the light they tried to extinguish shine even brighter!

In a fashion very similar to the story of the persecution of the children of Israel in Egypt, God replied to the disbelievers with the very object of their persecution (stabbing Rashad 29 times) and rejection (miracle of 19): the 29 suras system combined with the miracle of 19 revealed the truth about Rashad.

As I am writing these lines, Rashad's murderer is awaiting  extradition. The Ulamas who ordered his assassination may still be at large, but the very miracle they denied, 19, has already “swallowed” them and their schemes like the staff of Moses turned into a snake and swallowed baseless magic. At this point they have already been cursed and incurred the great mathematical punishment, right before they incur the great retribution of the Hereafter. When God’s judgment is issued, there is no way out.

Justice for Rashad Khalifa: Terrorists are ignorant people who confuse the truth with falsehood: they think they are heroes when they cowardly assassinate innocent people; they call themselves martyrs when they blow out themselves and kill randomly. It is important not to confuse cowards with heroes, and terrorists with martyrs. Cowards and terrorists go to hell, real heroes and martyrs go to paradise. Rashad was stabbed by surprise by a coward and a traitor. Rashad is a martyr. Killing a believer on purpose, and even worse, a messenger of God, is according to Quran an unforgivable offense (4:93, 5:33). People who are responsible cannot possibly make it to heaven, even if they repent: Hell is their destiny.  

9. Conclusion:

﴾10:61﴿ You do not get into any situation, nor do you recite any Quran, nor do you do anything, without us being witnesses thereof as you do it. Not even an atom's weight is out of your Lord's control, be it in the heavens or the earth. Nor is there anything smaller than an atom, or larger, that is not recorded in a profound record.

21/07/1969 = 21071969 = 19 x 67 x 16553

Before planet Earth and our universe were created, God calculated and foresaw “everything” with a divine precision. He knew that hundred of millions of years down the road, the 21st of July 1969 (21/07/1969 = 21071969 = 19 x 67 x 16553), 1969 solar years after the creation of Jesus at 17:54:1 (Universal Time) The quranic prophecy of 54:1, the splitting of the moon, would be fulfilled. Such is the degree of control of God over his creation.

Before planet earth and our universe were created, when God designed the Quran, He knew that hundred of millions of years down the road, on the 31^st of January 1990, a calendar that would be prevalent among human beings on little planet earth, Rashad Khalifa, His messenger who would unveil “one of the greatest miracle”, the miracle of 19, would be assassinated by traditional Muslims who distorted the message of Islam and rejected the miracle he was sent with. God therefore designed a miracle so profound and precise, that the light the disbelievers would try to extinguish would shine even brighter once they commit their crime. Hatred, disbelief and injustice always backfires (we are talking here about the fire of hell) at such horrible people: it is God’s infallible system. A system that has been recorded throughout history in the Holy Scriptures, teaching profound lessons for present and future generations. Unfortunately, Human beings are not good at taking lessons and learning from the past. Every time a new messenger comes to them to purify God’s religion and display the miracles of God, they reject the truth. They ridicule the messengers, they hate them, attempt to kill them, try to conceal the truth by all means.

The miracle of 19 reminds me so much of the story of the cow in sura 2. Moses asked his people, following God's command, to sacrifice a heifer. They mocked him, and refused asking more and more details to find out which particular one should be sacrificed. Eventually Moses provided, under God's guidance, all details regarding the cow, and Moses people were forced to submit: they were reluctant people. Eventually God used the cow as a miracle to revive someone who had been killed unjustly to point at the murderers. Same story with Rashad Khalifa. He came with one of the greatest miracle, people rejected him. More and more of the miracle was revealed and they eventually killed him, unable to stand the truth. God used his assassination to punish the guilty and produce an extraordinary sign that would be witnessed by present and future generations. Most people who will eventually accept the miracle of 19 and its implications will be reluctant believers: people who were forced to bow down.

Today, by God’s grace, truth has prevailed over falsehood. God has confirmed with His Words Rashad Khalifa as His chosen messenger, and exposed the criminals (the assassin and corrupted religious authorities who sentenced Rashad to death). God willing, as a result of traditional Muslim’s rejection of (Quran alone) Islam, they will very soon lose forever the Sacred Temple of Mecca as their Sacred Masjid and won't be able to access it anymore. Just like Jewish people lost their temple after rejecting Jesus, and just like the idol worshipers lost the Sacred Masjid of Abraham as a result of rejecting Muhammad. God always separates the wheat from the chaff: It is God’s infallible system.

According to Quran, the only foundation of Islam, it is strictly forbidden to force people to convert to Islam. Islam is the religion of peace, not dictatorship.

﴾2:256﴿ "There shall be no compulsion in religion" .

This article displays mathematical properties in the Quran that anyone can verify for him(her)self, even without any knowledge of Arabic. You are totally free to accept or reject them. Whatever your decision will be, I believe the consequences in this world and in the hereafter will be enormous. If 19 is really a miracle, all of us bear an enormous responsibility. Who will pass the test?

********************************************************************

The final word will be that the superior miracle surrounding Rashad's death (31011990 = 19 x 1230 x 1327) is much more than the fact Rashad Khalifa is confirmed as the messenger of the Covenant in 3:81, But mainly that it confirms all the prophets who pledged allegiance in sura 3 verse 81:

﴾3:81﴿ God took a covenant from the prophets, saying, "I will give you the scripture and wisdom. Afterwards, a messenger will come to confirm all existing scriptures. You shall believe in him and support him." He said, "Do you agree with this, and pledge to fulfill this covenant?" They said, "We agree." He said, "You have thus borne witness, and I bear witness along with you."  ﴾3:82﴿ Those who reject this (Quranic prophecy) are the evil ones.

Any of the prophets from Noah to Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad and all others are confirmed forever. Such is the true meaning and consequence of Rashad's mission. According to 3:82, any person who does not accept the messengership of Rashad Khalifa will be barred from Heaven.

﴾17:81﴿ Proclaim, "The truth has prevailed, and falsehood has vanished; falsehood will inevitably vanish."

﴾2:87﴿ We gave Moses the scripture, and subsequent to him we sent other messengers, and we gave Jesus, son of Mary, profound miracles and supported him with the Holy Spirit. Is it not a fact that every time a messenger went to you with anything you disliked, your ego caused you to be arrogant? Some of them you rejected, and some of them you killed.

﴾8:30﴿ The disbelievers plot and scheme to neutralize you, or kill you, or banish you. However, they plot and scheme, but so does God. God is the best schemer.

﴾10:82﴿ God establishes the truth with His words, despite the criminals.

﴾61:8﴿ They wish to put out God's light with their mouths. But God insists upon perfecting His light, in spite of the disbelievers.

﴾61:9﴿ He has sent His messenger with the guidance and the true religion, and will make it dominate all religions, in spite of the idol worshipers.

Praise be to God, Lord of the universe.
