Quran, a revelation from God is sent down with proofs of divine authorship. In other words, God has confirmed that He is an author of the Quran can be supported with the following 2 types of verses from the Quran: one is the literary and the other is its mathematical coding. Thus, the mathematical coding of the Quran does exist in the literary excellence, which makes it unique from any other books:
Authorship of God
[10:37] And it has not been this – the Quran that it could be produced by other than God, but a confirmation of which was its before and a detailed explanation of the scripture. There is no doubt in it, from Lord of the worlds.
[11:1] Alif.Laam.Raa. A scripture is perfected of its verses, then is explained in detail from Wise, Cognizant.
[4:82] Do they not then reflect on the Quran? And if it had been from other than God, surely, they would have found a lot of contradiction in it.
[6:155] This is a blessed scripture that we have revealed; you shall follow it and lead a righteous life.
[21:50] And this is a blessed reminder that we sent down. Will you then be the deniers of it?
[44:3] Indeed, we have revealed it in a night of blessing; indeed, we have been warners.
[97:1] Indeed, we have revealed it in a night of the Power.
Note: The above verses are the literary proofs in the Quran that the Quran comes from Lord of the worlds, the Wise, the Cognizant.
Mathematical coding of Quran
[74:30] Over it is nineteen.
[74:31] And we have not made guardians of the Fire except angels, and we have not made their number except a warning for those who disbelieved, that may ascertain those who have been given the scripture (Jews and Christians) and may increase faith of those who have believed (Muslims), and may not doubt those who have been given the scripture (Jews and Christians) and the believers (Muslims). And that may say those in their hearts there is a disease (hypocrites) and the disbelievers, “What did God mean by this allegory?” Thus, God misguides whomever He wills and He guides whomever He wills. And none knows your Lord’s soldiers except He. And it is not except a reminder for the human race.
[74:32-34] Nay, (I swear) by the moon. And the night as it passes. And the morning as it shines.
[74:35] Indeed, this is undoubtedly one of the great (miracles).
[74:36-37] A warning for the human race. For whoever among you wishes that he may advance or he may stay behind.
Note: Although the above verses are often referred as the mathematical proof to be the Quran from God but these verses, in fact code the 19-based built-in mathematical system to be a reminder in the Quran for humanity to lead them to the right path through analyzing the Quran indicating the wondrous nature of Quran. Upon unveiling of 19 being a prophetic sign associated with the fulfillment of a major covenant of God with His prophets placed in all scripture as confirmed in the Quran (3:81) including the Quran (33:7), and the common denominator of numerical data derived from the Quran is contributing for accurate interpretation of many verses of the Quran to confirm certain crucial events and commandments to perfect our beliefs and practices along with a possibility of having a one standardized edition of the Quran for all. Such comprehensive mathematical coding of the Quran gives a unique characteristic to it, which could not be possible to author other than God. Since the Quran is characterized by the mathematical literary composition, the Quran is from God.
However, God has infinite wisdom so does the Quran as He has given to it 4 of His own attributes: wise, great, glorious and honorable; and He has blessed us to have an explicit mathematical confirmation to be an Arabic Quran, a revelation of the scripture from God upon reviewing the pertinent verses in the Quran as detailed below.
Quran is a revelation from God
There are 15 instances of the Arabic word, tanzeel in the Quran in the masculine noun form meaning a revelation or a communication, which precisely can be called a divine communication of knowledge to the mankind. Out of 15, 12 instances deal with the scripture, a revelation from God while 2 instances deal with its way of descending and the other one deals with the descending of the angels on a Day of the Judgment. Let us review all the verses where the instances of tanzeel are found to understand what they are referring to:
[20:4] A revelation (tanzeelan) from Him who created the earth and the high heavens.
[26:192] And indeed, it is surely a revelation (latanzeelu) from Lord of the worlds.
[32:2] A revelation (tanzeelu) of the scripture wherein there is no doubt, is from Lord of the worlds.
[36:5] A revelation (tanzeela) of the Almighty, the Merciful.
[39:1] A revelation (tanzeelu) of the scripture, is from God, the Almighty, the Wise
[40:2] A revelation (tanzeelu) of the scripture is from God, the Almighty, the Knower.
[41:2] A revelation (tanzeelun) from the Gracious, the Merciful.
[41:42] The falsehood cannot enter it of its past nor of its future; a revelation (tanzeelun) from a Wise, a Praiseworthy.
[45:2] A revelation (tanzeelu) of the scripture is from God, the Almighty, the Wise.
[46:2] A revelation (tanzeelu) of the scripture is from God, the Almighty, the Wise.
[56:80] A revelation (tanzeelun) from Lord of the worlds.
[69:43] A revelation (tanzeelun) from Lord of the worlds.
The above verses confirm that the revelation of the scripture is from God with His authorship attaching His 8 great attributes mentioning 19 times along with 4 times of His own name, God (in proper noun). The attributes of God that have been mentioned 19 times are: (1) Creator – 1, (2) Lord – 4, (3) the Almighty- 5, (4) the Wise – 4, (5) the Merciful – 2, (6) the Gracious – 1, (7) the Knower – 1 and (8) a Praiseworthy – 1. The scripture has been associated with a revelation 5 times in the set of verses as God knows that His revelation will be in written form for accurate preservation and propagation while a revelation is a verbal communication.
However, there are also 3 other instances of tanzeelan found in the Quran that are not directly connected to the instances dealing with a revelation from God:
[17:106] And a Quran that we have divided into parts that you may read it to the people over a period of time; and we have sent it down gradually (tanzeelan) .
[25:25] And the day the sky will split into masses of clouds, and the angels will be sent down in succession (tanzeelan) .
[76:23] We have revealed the Quran to you gradually (tanzeelan).
Note: the messages in the above verses including the position of the instance (tanzeelan) at the end of the verses indicates that these verses are not directly connected to the above set of verses as there is no specific mention of a revelation from God.
An Arabic Quran is a revelation from God
There are 11 references of an Arabic Quran in the Quran in the following 11 straight forward verses that the Quran has been revealed in Arabic:
[12:2] We have revealed it an Arabic (`arabiyyan) Quran so that you may understand.
[13:37] And thus, we revealed it as a law in Arabic (`arabiyyan), and if you follow their desires, after what has come to you of the knowledge, you will have no ally, nor a protector against God.
Note: Quran is a source of law in Arabic and all of us are to use the knowledge that has come to us.
[16:103] And we are aware that they say, “A human being is teaching him!” The tongue of the one they refer to is non-Arabic, and this is a clear Arabic (`arabiyyun) tongue.
[20:113] We thus revealed it, an Arabic (`arabiyyan) Quran, and we mentioned in it the warning that they may fear, or it may cause them to take heed.
Note: There is a warning in it to fear God as well as to take heed.
[26:195] In a clear Arabic (`arabiyyin) tongue.
[39:28] An Arabic (`arabiyyan) Quran, without any crookedness, so that they may be righteous.
Note: God has given an Arabic Quran without crookedness in it that the believers can be the righteous.
[41:3] A scripture, its verses are detailed in an Arabic (`arabiyyan) Quran for people who know.
[41:44] If we had made it a non-Arabic Quran, they would have said, “Why are not its verses so explained?” Is it non-Arabic or Arabic (`arabiyyun)? Say, “It is for those who believe, is a guidance and a healing but those who do not believe, there is a deafness in their ears and they are blind to it. These are being addressed from faraway.”
Note: Quran has been revealed in Arabic to make it clear to understand and follow to be a guidance and a healing for those who believe, and the language would not be an issue or concern for them while the disbelievers will be deaf and blind to it.
[42:7] We thus have revealed to you an Arabic (`arabiyyan) Quran to warn the mother town and whoever around it, and to warn of a Day of the Gathering, there is no doubt about it. Some will be in Paradise and some will be in blazing Fire.
Note: There is a warning in the Arabic Quran of the Day of Gathering that some will be in Paradise and some will be in the blazing Fire.
[43:3] We have made it an Arabic (`arabiyyan) Quran so that you may understand.
[46:12] And before this, the scripture of Moses was a guidance and mercy. This is a confirming scripture in Arabic (`arabiyyan) tongue, to warn those who transgressed, and to give good news to the righteous.
Note: This is a confirming scripture in Arabic language to warn the transgressors and to give good news to the righteous.
Mathematical Confirmation
There are 2 distinct sets of verses in the Quran: one set consisting of 12 verses across 11 suras dealing with a revelation of the scripture from God and the other set consisting of 11 verses across 10 suras dealing with an Arabic Quran. If the relevant sura# and verse # are added, the sum is a multiple of 19 => 1672 = 19x88 (See the table below for details):
This mathematical interpretation confirms that an Arabic Quran is a revelation of the scripture from God being a confirming scripture to serve as a guidance as well as a healing for the believers attaching His authorship repeating 19 times of 8 great attributes. In addition, the following facts may also be reflected to realize the awesomeness of this mathematical confirmation:
- The confirming scripture in Arabic serves as a bridge between 2 sets of verses since there is no mention of Quran in the first set but the scripture has been mentioned 5 times in the set while there is reference of Quran in every verse including a confirming scripture in the second set.
- These 2 distinct sets are closely linked to one another while the individual set cannot be mathematically confirmed, is an indication that these 2 sets are inseparable for better understanding of an Arabic Quran, a revelation of the scripture from God being a confirming scripture.
- The product in the calculation, which is 88, is a multiple of the sum of total sura and verse #, which is 44 [21+23] in the calculation, and the multiplier is 2 => 88 = 44x2 which confirms the participation of 2 sets of verses in the confirmation.
- A warning in the Arabic Quran of a Day of the Gathering without any doubt in it that some will be in Paradise and some will be in the blazing Fire.
- Quran has been made Arabic to make it clear explaining in detail to understand and follow to be a guidance and a healing for the believers while the disbelievers will be deaf and blind to it,
Conclusion
2 distinct sets of verses are reviewed together to understand that an Arabic Quran is a revelation of the scripture from God. The first set of 12 verses across 11 suras dealing with a revelation from God states that there is no doubt about a revelation from God who created the earth and the high heavens. The revelation of the scripture is from God with His authorship attaching His 8 great attributes: (1) the Creator, (2) the Lord, (3) the Almighty, (4) the Most Wise, (5) the Most Merciful, (6) the Most Gracious, (7) the Omniscient and (8) a Praiseworthy, which are mentioned 19 times by repeating some of His attributes in the set.
The second set of 11 verses across 10 suras dealing with an Arabic Quran, a revelation from God states that the Quran has been revealed in Arabic to make it clear to understand and follow being a guidance and a healing for those who believe, and the language would not be an issue or concern for them while the disbelievers will be deaf and blind to it. It is a source of law in Arabic and all of us are to use the knowledge that has come to us in it. There is a warning in Arabic Quran to fear God as well as to take heed. There is also a warning of a Day of the Gathering that some will be in Paradise and some will be in the blazing Fire. This is a confirming scripture in Arabic language to warn the transgressors but to give good news to the righteous.
Those who can read the Arabic may appreciate the excellence of the literature of the Quran but those who do not know the Arabic, may appreciate the excellence of the message by reading the Quran in any language keeping in mind that God guarantees the message in the Arabic Quran. Since understanding of God’s teachings and laws in the Quran is the priority, having the Quran in an Arabic or non-Arabic book may not make a difference but in case of any misinterpretation, disputes or discrepancies in any translation or across the translations must be addressed to make an inquiry into the Arabic Quran, and God has promised in the Quran that a pure Arabic Quran will continue to exist until the end of the world without missing a single message from it (15:9).
God is the author of the Arabic Quran, a scripture with a solid physical proof of His authorship confirmed from the 23 straightforward verses consisting of 2 distinct sets in the Quran. It may be an opportunity for the believers who want to strengthen their belief in the Almighty God, His religion, the way He can be remembered and pleased, and the Quran, a source of knowledge to confirm His way to do His given rites right way to deserve His Paradise as promised to the righteous. It may also help them focus on the divine source diverting it from other sources, scholars, imams, saints, prophets or messengers introduced by the Satan. God has infinite wisdom so does the Quran, and He has blessed us to have an explicit confirmation of an Arabic Quran, a revelation of the scripture from God upon reviewing the pertinent verses of the Quran. Is it not a wonder for us that not only an Arabic Quran, a revelation of the scripture from God but also a confirming scripture in Arabic to serve as a guidance and a healing for the believers has come with both literary and mathematical confirmation?
Peaceful Friday, salaam and God bless.
