Sahih Bukhari gives three different accounts regarding this subject,
and Al-Muntakhab gives two different accounts. As mentioned above,
all accounts, in the various references agree that THE LAST
TWO VERSES OF SURA 9 ARE THE ONLY VERSES IN QUR’AN THAT
FAILED TO CONFORM TO THE RECORDING CRITERIA, specifically the
criterion of source multiplicity. One wonders why were
these two verses included in Qur’an in the first place!!!
The multiplicity of sources for every single verse in Qur’an
was a vital criterion, since it confirms the authenticity of every
verse.
THE PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
The Almighty Creator informed us that the Qur’an contains
a certain secret that, in time, will prove that Qur’an is
God’s final message to the world.
The disbelievers said, "This (Qur’an)
is no more than a fraud fabricated by (Muhammad),
|
with the help of some
others." Indeed, they have committed a blasphemy and a falsehood.
Others said, "(This Quran) is tales from the
past that he (Muhammad) had made up; they were dictated to him day
and night."
Say, "It was sent down by the one who
knows THE SECRET in the heaven and the earth." Indeed,
He is the Forgiver, the Merciful.
(Qur’an 25:4-6)
Furthermore, the Qur’an states that this miraculous SECRET
which is destined to prove the Qur’an’s authenticity
shall be unveiled at a future time, not during the lifetime of
the Prophet.
They say, "How come no miracle has come down
to him from his Lord?" Say, "The future belongs to God,
so wait and I will wait along with you."
(Quran 10:20)
That the number 19 shall play a role in proving the Qur’an’s
authenticity is stated in Qur’an 74:25-35. These verses state
that anyone who declares that Qur’an is human-made (74:25)
shall be proven wrong by means of the number 19 (74:30).
During the last 17 years (1968-1985), intensive research into the
Qur’an with the use of computers has produced startling results,
and an overwhelming proof of authenticity. In full agreement with
Quran (74:25-35), the number 19 has provided the irrefutable evidence.
Details of this work have been published in the following books:
(1) Qur’an: The Final Scripture.
(2) The Computer Speaks: God’s Message to the World.

In addition to the list of SIMPLE FACTS where
the number 19 is the common denominator, the most powerful physical
facts are in the famous mysterious letters of Qur’an which
prefix 29 suras. These letters occur in their respective suras ALWAYS
IN MULTIPLES OF 19. One has to study the details in
the references listed above in order to fully appreciate this awesome
Qur’anic miracle.
What concerns us in this Bulletin is the prominent physical fact
that the opening verse of Quran (BISMILLAH) consists of 19 letters,
and every word in it is mentioned throughout Qur’an a number
of time which is CONSISTENTLY A MULTIPLE OF 19.
Thus, the first word (Ism = Name) is found in Qur’an exactly
19 times, the second word (Allah = God) is mentioned 2698 times
(19 x 142), the third word (Rahman = Gracious) is mentioned 57 times
(19 x 3), and the last word (Rahim = Merciful) is mentioned 114
times (19 x 6), plus one time that refers specifically to the Prophet
and is not an attribute of God.
During the last three years an extensive study was undertaken to
examine the mathematical miracle of Qur’an at the word for
word level. The objective was to confirm that the computers
did not err, and that the results do conform to the Qur’an
as it was originally recorded during the Prophet’s lifetime,
and subsequently collected by Zeid Ibn Thabet upon
