It is ironic that Verse 9:129 happens to contain the statement La elaaha ella Hoo. By including this verse in the count, all the mathematical facts mentioned above would have disappeared. Of course, the above facts are still the tip of the iceberg. There is much more mathematical evidence against these ‘two verses’, and much more is being discovered by God’s grace. For more information about other mathematical facts, refer to Appendix 24 of “Quran: The Final Testament, Authorized English Version, translated from the original  by Rashad Khalifa, Ph.D.”

It should be noted that these two verses have historically been suspect since the time of the third Caliph ‘Uthman. Our efforts to check with the oldest available copies of the Quran have been futile. One researcher who looked at one of the oldest copy of the Quran in the Suleymaniye Library, Istanbul, Turkey, noticed that the last page of Sura 9, as well as the first page of Sura 10, had been removed from the Quran. We also received information, which we have not verified ourselves yet, that the copy of the Quran in Smithsonian Museum, Washington, D.C., has the same problem. The question is, why? Did the people who handed down the history to us have something to hide?

God says in Verse 15:9 that  “Surely, we have revealed this message, and surely, we will preserve it.” One can now appreciate better the meaning of this verse. Because of the mathematical composition of the Quran, it is indeed impossible to tamper with the Quran, then, now or ever. No falsehood can enter it (41:42).
Praise God. There is no god except He.

New Line of Communication Just Fax It!

By God’s grace, we now have a fax machine through the generosity of one of our family of submitters. The machine is available for your incoming faxes 24 hours a day (unless, of course, the phone is busy). The fax number is the same number as the telephone number, (602) 323-7636. The fax machine is able to automatically detect an incoming fax from a regular phone call. However, some faxes that are sent manually cannot be received automatically because some older model fax machines do not send a fax tone in manual mode. Therefore, if there is a problem sending a fax because your fax machine is not sending a fax tone, try adding *19 at the end of our number when dialing.

You can now fax your questions, comments, orders for the publications, articles for the newsletter, or anything you would like to bring to our attention. God willing, we will respond to you as quickly as we can.

1995 Conference

We are planning to hold next year’s United Submitters Conferences in Tucson, Arizona, God wiling. The preliminary date is set to August 18-20, 1995. However, we want to hear from you, especially if these dates are not suitable for you. Please let us know any suggestions you may have as soon as possible for we would like to finalize the conference dates by the end of this year.

If we do not hear from you, we will assume the above dates are acceptable with everyone.
Correction
In the previous issue of the Submitters Perspective, the last sura revealed, Srua 110 (Triumph), was reported to consist of 76 (19x4) Arabic words. The correct number should have been 19 words.

To refresh our memory and see the interesting link between the first and the last revelation, we report the facts on the first revelation below once more:

The first revelation (Sura 96:1-5) consists of 19 Arabic words, 76 (19x4) letters. The entire Sura consists of 19 verses and 304 (19x16) letters.
