Tampering With the Word of GOD
Two False Verses Removed

A vast mathematical system pervades the Quran and serves to guard and to authenticate its divine origin. Every element of the Quran is mathematically structured in such a way that is far beyond human capability.

Nineteen years after Prophet Mohammad's death, some scribes injected two false verses at the end of Sura 9, the last sura revealed in Medina. The evidences presented by God's messenger of the Covenant, Dr. Rashad Khalifa, incontrovertibly removes these human injections. It restores the Quran to its pristine purity, and illustrate a major function of the Quran's mathematical code, namely, to protect the Quran from the slightest tampering. Thus, the code rejects ONLY the false injections, 9:128-129.

[15:9] Absolutely, we have revealed the reminder, and, absolutely, we will preserve it.

The Quran is God's Final Testament. Hence the divine pledge to keep it perfectly preserved. To assure us of both the divine authorship, and the perfect preservation of the Quran, the Almighty Author has rendered the Quran mathematically composed. As proven by the physical evidence in Appendix 1, such mathematical composition is far beyond human capabilities. The slightest violation in God's Final Testament is destined to stand out in glaring disharmony. A deviation by only 1 - one sura, one verse, one word, even one letter - is immediately exposed. (Authorized English Version of the Quran, A Translation done from the original Arabic text by Dr. Rashad Khalifa, God's messenger of the Covenant)

Nineteen years after the Prophet Muhammad's death, during the reign of Khalifa `Uthman, a committee of scribes was appointed to make several copies of the Quran to be dispatched to the new Muslim lands. The copies were to be made from the original Quran, which was written by Muhammad's hand (Appendix 28).

This committee was supervised by `Uthman Ibn `Affaan, `Ali Ibn Abi Taaleb, Zeid Ibn Thaabet, Ubayy Ibn Ka`ab, `Abdullah Ibn Al-Zubair, Sa`eed Ibn Al-`Aas, and `Abdul Rahman Ibn Al-Haareth Ibn Heshaam. The Prophet, of course, had written the Quran in its chronological order of revelation (Appendix 23), together with the necessary instructions to place every piece in its proper position. The last sura revealed in Medina was Sura 9. Only Sura 110, a very short sura, was revealed after Sura 9, the sura that was revealed in Mina.

The committee of the scribes finally came to Sura 9, and put it in its proper place. One of the scribes suggested adding two verses to honor the Prophet. The majority of scribes agreed. `Ali was outraged. He vehemently maintained that the word of God, written down by the hand of His final prophet, must never be altered.

Ali's protest is documented in many references, but I cite the classic reference AL ITQAAN FEE 'ULUM AL QURAN by Jalaluddin Al-Suyuty, Al-Azhareyyah Press, Cairo, Egypt, 1318 AH, Page 59. Translation: `Ali was asked: "Why are you staying home?" He said, "Something has been added to the Quran, and I have pledged never to put on my street clothes, except for the prayer, until the Quran is restored."

The horrendous dimensions of this crime can be realized once we look at the consequences:

(1) `Uthman was assassinated, and `Ali was installed as the fourth Khalifa.
(2) A 50-year war erupted between the new Khalifa and his supporters on one side, and the Mohammedan distorters of the Quran on the other side.
(3) `Ali was martyred, and eventually his family, the prophet Muhammad's family, except for some women and children, were killed.
(4) The disaster culminated in the infamous Battle of Karbala, where `Ali's son, Hussein, and his family were massacred.
(5) The Muslims were deprived of the pure, unaltered, Quran for 1400 years.

The distorters of the Quran finally won the war, and the "official" history that came to us represented the victors' point of view. This apparent victory for God's enemies was, of course, in accordance with God's will. In just two decades after the Prophet's death, the idol worshipers who were defeated by the Prophet in the conquest of Mecca (632 AD) reverted to idolatry. Ironically, this time around their idol was the Prophet himself. Such idol worshipers obviously did not deserve to have the pure Quran. Hence the blessed martyrdom of the true believers who tried to restore the Quran, and the apparent victory for the distorters of God's word.

The first peace time ruler after this lengthy and disastrous war was Marwan Ibn Al Hakam (died 65 AH/684 AD). One of the first duties he performed was to destroy the original Quran, the one that was so scrupulously written by the Prophet's own hand, "fearing it might become the cause of NEW disputes" [see `ULUM AL-QURAN, by Ahmad von Denffer, Islamic Foundation, Leicester, United Kingdom, 1983, Page 56.]. The question an intelligent person must ask is: "If the original Quran was identical to the Quran in circulation at that time, why did Marwan Ibn Al-Hakam have to destroy it?!"

Upon examining the oldest Islamic references, we realize that the false injections, 9:128-129, were always suspect. For example, we read in Bukhary's famous Hadith, and Al-Suyuty's famous Itqaan, that every single verse in the Quran was verified by a multiplicity of witnesses "except Verses 128 and 129 of Sura 9; they were found only with Khuzeimah Ibn Thaabet Al-Ansaary." When some people questioned this improper exception, someone came up with a Hadith stating that "the testimony of Khuzeimah equals the testimony of two men!" Strangely, the false injections 9:128-129 are labeled in the traditional Quran printings as "Meccan." The Title Figure of Sura 9 in these original copies show that Sura 9 is Medinan except for the last two verses; they are Meccan! How could these "Meccan" verses be found with Khuzeimah, a late "Medinan" Muslim?!

How could a Medinan sura contain Meccan verses, when the universal convention has been to label as "Medinan" all revelations after the Prophet's Hijerah from Mecca?! Despite these discrepancies, plus many more glaring contradictions associated with Verses 9:128-129, no one dared to question their authenticity. The discovery of the Quran's mathematical code in 1974, however, ushered in a new era where the authenticity of every element in the Quran is proven.

As it turns out, the injection of the two false Verses 9:128-129 resulted in:

(1) demonstrating the major function of the Quran's mathematical system,
(2) producing an awesome miracle in its own right, and
(3) distinguishing the true believers from the hypocrites (they uphold traditions). The following is the translation of the two false verses:

[9:128] A messenger has come to you from among you who wants no hardship to afflict you, and cares about you, and is compassionate towards the believers, merciful.
[9:129] If they turn away, then say, "Sufficient for me is God, there is no god except He. I put my trust in Him. He is the Lord with the great throne."

THE PHYSICAL EVIDENCE

1. The first violation of the Quran's code by Verses 9:128-129 appeared when the count of the word "God" (Allah) in the Quran was found to be 2699, which is not a multiple of 19, unless we remove one. In the Authorized English Version, the count of the word "God" is shown at the bottom of each page. The total shown at the end of the Quran is 2698, 19 x 142, because the false injections 9:128-129 have been removed.

2. The sum of all the verse numbers where the word "God" occurs is 118123, or 19 x 6217. This total is obtained by adding the verse numbers where the word "God" is found. If the false Verse 9:129 is included, this phenomenon disappears.

3. As shown at the end of Sura 9 in the Authorized Translation, the total occurrence of the word "God" to the end of Sura 9 is 1273, 19 x 67. If the false injections 9:128-129 were included, the total would have become 1274, not a multiple of 19.

4. The frequency of the occurrence of the word "God" from the first Quranic initial ("A.L.M." of 2:1) to the last initial ("N." of 68:1) is 2641, or 19 x 139. To verify, it is easier to check the suras outside the initialed section of the Quran. In this section, the word "God" occurs 57 times. Subtracting 57 from the total occurrence of the word "God" gives us 2698 - 57 = 2641 = 19 x 139. If the human injections 9:128 and 129 were included, the count of the word "God" in the initialed section would have become 2642, not a multiple of 19.

Occurrence of the word "GOD"
Outside the Initialed Section.

5. Sura 9 is an un-initialed sura, and if we look at the 85 un-initialed suras, we find that the word "God" occurs in 57 of these suras, 19 x 3. The total number of verses in the 57 suras where the word "God" is found is 1045, 19 x 55. If 9:128-129 were included, the verses containing the word "God" would increase by 1.

6. In 19 suras from the missing Basmalah (Sura 9) to the extra Basmalah (Sura 27), the word "God" occurs in 513 verses, 19 x 27. If the false Verses 9:128-129 were included, the number of verses containing the word "God" would have become 514, and this phenomenon would have disappeared.

Number of the verses with the word "GOD"
From the missing Basmalah to the extra Basmalah

7. The word "Elaah" which means "god" occurs in Verse 9:129. The total occurrence of this word in the Quran is 95, 19x5. The inclusion of 9:128-129 causes this word to increase by 1, to 96.

8. The INDEX TO THE WORDS OF THE QURAN, lists 116 word "Rasool" (Messenger). One of these words is in 9:128. By removing this false verse, the number of the word "Rasool" goes down to 115. Another word "Rasool" which must be excluded from counting is in 12:50, since it refers to the "messenger of Pharaoh," not the messenger of God. Thus, the total occurrence of the word "Rasool" in the Quran, when it refers to the messenger of God is 114, 19 x 6. 114 is the number of the suras in the Quran.

9. Another important word that occurs in the false Verses 9:128-129 is the word "Raheem" (Merciful). This word is used in the Quran exclusively as a name of God. After removing the word "Raheem" of 9:128 which refers to the prophet, the total count of the word "Raheem" is 114, 19 x 6. According to 7:188, 10:49, and 72:21 the Prophet did not possess any power of mercy.

10. The INDEX lists 22 occurrences of the word " `Arsh" (Throne). After removing the false injection 9:129, and discounting the "`Arsh" of Joseph which occurs in 12:100, and the "`Arsh" of the Queen of Sheba (27:23), we end up with 19 words "`Arsh," "God's Throne." This proves that the word "`Arsh" of 9:129 does not belong in the Quran.

11. The Quranic command "Qul" (Say) occurs in the Quran 332 times. Also, the word "Qaaloo" (They said) occurs the same number of times, 332. Since the false Verse 9:129 contains the word "Qul" (Say), its inclusion would have destroyed this typical Quranic phenomenon.

12. The Quran contains 6234 numbered verses and 112 un-numbered verses (Basmalahs). Thus, the total number of verses in the Quran is 6346, 19x334. The false Verses 9:128-129 violate this important criterion of the Quran's code.

13. In addition to violating the numbers of words as listed above, 9:128-129 violate the Quran's mathematical structure. When we add the number of verses in each sura, plus the sum of verse numbers (1+2+3+... +n, where n = number of verses), plus the number of each sura, the cumulative total for the whole Quran comes to 346199, or 19x19x959. This phenomenon confirms the authenticity of every verse in the Quran, while excluding 9:128-129. This phenomenon is impossible if the false Verses 9:128-129 are included.

14. When we carry out the same calculations as in Item 13 above, but for the 85 un-initialed suras only, which include Sura 9, the cumulative total is also a multiple of 19. The cumulative total for all the un-initialed suras is 156066, or 19x8214. This result depends on the fact that Sura 9 consists of 127 verses, not 129. The false verses would have destroyed this criterion.

15. From the beginning of the Quran to the end of Sura 9, if we add the sura numbers of all the un-initialed suras, plus the number of their verses (1+7+4+176+5+120+6+165+8+75+9+127), we get 703, 19x37. This phenomenon depends on the fact that Sura 9 consists of 127 verses.

16. By adding the sura number of the un-initialed suras, plus the number of verses, plus the sum of the verse numbers from the missing Basmalah (9:1) to the end of the Quran, the grand total comes to 116090, or 19 x 6110. If verses 9:128-129 are included, the number of verses for Sura 9 becomes 129, and the grand total becomes 116349, not a multiple of 19.

17. When the same calculations of Item 16 are done for all the verses from the missing Basmalah of Sura 9 to the extra Basmalah of Sura 27, the grand total comes to 119966, or 19 x 6314. If the number of verses in Sura 9 were129, this phenomenon would be destroyed and the total would no longer be divisible by 19.

18. The absence of Basmalah in Sura 9 is not only a profound sign from the Almighty Author of the Quran that this sura has been tampered with, but also represents an awesome miracle in its own right. The idolizers of the Prophet could not just add the two false verses anywhere in the Quran, but in the specific place designated by the Almighty. Not only that, Almighty God has given us the specifics of what the human devils were going to add to the Quran before hand. If we go to 3:78, we read as follows:

[3:78] Among them are those who twist their tongues to imitate the scripture, that you may think it is from the scripture, when it is not from the scripture, and they claim that it is from God, when it is not from God. Thus, they utter lies and attribute them to God, knowingly.

The above verse is comprised of 27 words containing 116 letters, [(6, 1, 50), (40, 50, 5, 40), (30, 80, 200, 10, 100, 1), (10, 30, 6, 50), (1, 30, 60, 50, 400, 5, 40), (2, 1, 30, 20, 400, 2), (30, 400, 8, 60, 2, 6, 5), (40, 50), (1, 30, 20, 400, 2), (6, 40, 1, 5, 6), (40, 50), (1, 30, 20, 400, 2), (6, 10, 100, 6, 30, 6, 50), (5, 6), (40, 50), (70, 50, 4), (1, 30, 30, 5), (6, 40, 1, 5, 6), (40, 50), (70, 50, 4), (1, 30, 30, 5), (6, 10, 100, 6, 30, 6, 50), (70, 30, 10), (1, 30, 30, 5), (1, 30, 20, 700, 2), (6, 5, 40), (10, 70, 30, 40, 6, 50)]. The gematrical value of this verse is 5636.

Glory is to God; the number of the Arabic letters, plus the number of words in 3:78 and in the false verses 9:128-129, give the same total, 143. Verse 3:78 consists of 27 words and 116 letters, & 9:128-129 consist of 28 words and 115 letters.

9:128 & 129 -- The Satanic Verses

[9:128] A messenger has come to you from among you who wants no hardship to afflict you, and cares about you, and is compassionate towards the believers, merciful.
[9:129] If they turn away, then say, "Sufficient for me is God, there is no god except He. I put my trust in Him. He is the Lord with the great throne."

9:128 is comprised of 13 Arabic words and 61 letters, [(30, 100, 4), (3, 1, 1, 20, 40), (200, 60, 6, 30), (40, 50), (1, 50, 80, 60, 20, 40), (70, 7, 10, 7), (70, 30, 10, 5), (40, 1, 70, 50, 400, 40), (8, 200, 10, 90), (70, 30, 10, 20, 40), (2, 1, 30, 40, 6, 1, 40, 50, 10, 50), (200, 1, 6, 80), (200, 8, 10, 40)]. The gematrical value of this false verse is 2899.

9:129 is comprised of 15 Arabic words and 54 letters, [(80, 1, 50), (400, 6, 30, 6, 1), (80, 100, 30), (8, 60, 2, 10), (1, 30, 30, 5), (30, 1), (1, 30, 5), (1, 30, 1), (5, 6), (70, 30, 10, 5), (400, 6, 20, 30, 400), (6, 5, 6), (200, 2), (1, 30, 70, 200, 300), (1, 30, 70, 900, 10, 40)]. The gematrical value of this false verse is 3882. The gematrical value of the two false verses combined is 6781, (2899 + 3882).

Glory is to God; 3:78 says it all. Lets read this verse one more time:

[3:78] Among them are those who twist their tongues to imitate the scripture, that you may think it is from the scripture, when it is not from the scripture, and they claim that it is from God, when it is not from God. Thus, they utter lies and attribute them to GOD, knowingly.

The above verse plays a very important role in exposing the two false verses, 9:128 & 129. The frequency of the occurrence of the word "GOD," from the beginning of the Quran to this verse inclusive is 361, and 361 is 19 x 19. Glory is to God; obviously this is not a coincidence. This is the deliborate design of the Almighy! The count of the word "GOD" from this verse to the end of Sura 9, 9:127, is 912 which is 19 x 48. GOD IS GLORIFIED!

The misguided Muslims, the Mohammadans, insist that 9:128 & 129 are verses of the Quran. The wrath of God is upon Satan! Despite God's clear commandments (72:18; 2:136, 285; 3:84, and 4:150-152), they also insist that Shahaadah (the proclamation of faith) must include the name of Mohammad. God's Shahaadah (3:18) is not good enough for them; the wrath of God is upon Satan!

The gematrical value of 3:78, the verse that God has placed in the Quran to expose the liars, is 5636. The gematrical value of the two satanic verses, 9 ;128 & 129, is 6781. God willing, by the mean of these two numbers, we should be able to see what the Almighty is placing before our eyes:

(6781 - 5636)
1145

Ash`hadu An Laa Elaaha Ellal`laah, Wah`dahu Laa Sha`reeka`lah
(1+300+5+4+1+50+30+1+1+30+5+1+30+1+1+30+30+5+6+8+4+5+30+1+300+200+10+20+30+5)
1145
I profess that there is no other god beside GOD,
He ALONE (is God) and Has no partner!
________________________________________________

Glory is to God; He is the One who removed the two false verses from the Quran, (42:24). Rashad Khalifa was simply an instrument God used to remove the verses and thus purify the Quran. The name "Rashad" and its root word "Rashada" occur in the Quran 19 times.

Sura and Verses where the name Rashad
and its root word Rashada is placed

The sum of the nineteen verse numbers in which the name "Rashad" and its root word "Rashada" occur is 1145. Glory is to God; He knows everything and have them recorded, even before the creation. This is easy for God to do (57:22) . Glory is to God; He knew before hand how many words and how many letters were in the two false verses injected in the Quran. He knew what letters were used in them. And obviously He knew who from among His messengers was destined to rid the Quran from the satanic additions and thus purify it. Praise is to God, Lord of the universe!

_____________________________________________________________________

19. ALMIGHTY GOD HAS GIVEN US THE EXACT NUMBER OF THE VERSES IN THE QURAN! God Almighty, the Author of the Quran, is telling us that there are 6234 numbered verses in the Quran. (7 + 286 + 200 + 176 + 120 + 165 + 206 + 75 + 127 + .... + 4 + 7 + 3 + 6 + 3+ 5 + 4 + 5 + 6). God's enemies insist that the total of the numbered verses is 6236. The wrath of God is upon Satan!

The last revelation revealed to Prophet Muhammad was the sura AL-NASSR, sura number 110. This fact is universally accepted in the Muslim world. Almighty God, the Teacher of the Quran, has placed the information leading to the EXACT number of the verses in the Quran in this last revelation revealed to the Final Prophet. 

[110:1] When triumph comes from God, and victory.
(1+700+1+3+1+1+50+90+200+1+30+30+5+6+1+30+80+400+8) = 1638

[110:2] You will see the people embracing God's religion in throngs.
(6+200+1+10+400+1+30+50+1+60+10+4+600+30+6+50+80+10+4+10+50+1+30+30 + 5+1+80+6+1+3+1) = 1771

[110:3] You shall glorify and praise your Lord, and implore Him for forgiveness. He is the Redeemer.
(80+60+2+8+2+8+40+4+200+2+20+6+1+60+400+1000+80+200+5+1+50+5+20+1+ 50+400+6+1+2+1) = 2715

The gematrical value of the three verses in Sura 110 are 1638, 1771, and 2715. Let us add these four numbers and, God willing, witness an awesome phenomenon:

(110 + 1638 + 1771 + 2715)
 6234
There is no other god beside God!

In the last revelation revealed to the Final Prophet, Almighty God has placed the EXACT number of the numbered verses in the Quran. Is there anyone in the world who can challenge these findings? Is there anyone in the world who can show a similar phenomenon in any other book? 

Furthermore, if we add the sura number, 110, to the number of the letters contained in the above three verses, 19, 31, and 30, we obtain:

110 + 19 + 31 + 30 = 190
19 x 10
"Over it is nineteen."

The nineteen based mathematical miracle of the Quran, one of the Great Miracles, exposed the two false verses (9:128,129).

[74:4] Purify your garment.

God's command in (74:4) calls for the purification of the Quran's garment. This refers to the removal of the two false verses (9:128,129):

744 + 9128129 = 9128873
19 x 480467
There is no other god beside God!

[74:5] Forsake what is wrong.

What is wrong was the addition of the two false verses to the Quran. The two false verses that were added to the end of sura 9, verses 128 and 129.  By placing the above numbers side by side, we obtain a number which is a multiple of nineteen:

745,9128129 = 19 x 392585691
There is no other god beside God!

God Erased the Falsehood (9:128-129) and Affirmed The Truth that Sura 9 has 127 verses:

[42:24]  Are they saying, "He (Rashad) has fabricated lies about God!?" If God willed, He could have sealed your mind, but God erases the falsehood and affirms the truth with His words. He is fully aware of the innermost thoughts.

In accordance with His will, Almighty God has removed the two false verses from the Quran. Messenger of the Covenant was an instrument God used for the removal. Sura 9 has 127 verses. God has affirmed this in sura 42 verse 24.  Rashad Khalifa (200,300,1,4,600,30,10,80,5) was God's messenger commissioned to do the job. If we place these numbers side by side, we obtain a number that is a multiple of nineteen:

9,127,42,24,200,300,1,4,600,30,10,80,5
19 x ...
There is no other god beside God!

The overwhelming physical evidence provided by the Almighty to protect and authenticate His message leaves no doubt that: (1) no distortion of any kind can enter into the Quran,
(2) Verses 9:128-129 do not belong with the Quran, and
(3) every element in the Quran is mathematically structured far beyond human capabilities.

The Appendix 24 in the Authorized Translation of the Quran documents a profound miracle in its own right. Vast and utterly overwhelming as it is, it does not surpass or even match the overall mathematical miracle of the Quran. This merely confirms the fact that the Almighty Author of the Quran has deliberately permitted the blasphemous addition of two verses to Sura 9 in order to:
(1) Demonstrate an essential function of the Quran's mathematical composition.
(2) Prove the impossibility of tampering with the Quran.
(3) Fulfill God's promise to distinguish the believers and expose the hypocrites.

Why Did God Permit It For 1400 Years ?

Due to the mass corruption of Islam shortly after the Prophet Muhammad's death, God obviously has fulfilled His pledge in 47:38. A divine decree issued in Sura 47, which is entitled "Muhammad," Verse 38 (19x2), stipulates that "if the Arabs failed to uphold the Quran, God will dismiss them from His grace, and substitute other people in their place."

When the Arabs distorted the Quran a few years after the Prophet's death, and exterminated the Prophet's family in the process, they incurred God's pledge of 47:38, and no longer deserved to possess the Quran; the true Quran. The evidence is irrefutable that the Arabs have abandoned the Quran en masse.

For example, there is not a single mosque in the so-called Muslim world today (2002) that upholds the crucial commandment: "The mosques belong to God; you shall not invoke anyone else besides God" (72:18).

The call to prayer (Azan) and the Prayers itself are no longer devoted to God alone; Muhammad's name is invariably invoked along with the name of God.

The "First Pillar of Islam" is clearly stated in the Quran, 3:18 & 47:19, and its words are decreed to be: LAA ELAAHA ELLA ALLAH (There is no other god besides God). But the Muslims, as early as the first century AH, do not want God if Muhammad is not invoked along with Him. This is easily demonstrable today by going into any mosque and declaring: "LAA ELAAHA ELLA ALLAH;" this will actually enrage today's Muslims. This behavior is documented in the Quran, 39:45. Moreover, the traditional Muslims who uphold other sources of religious guidance beside the Quran are forbidden by God to utter God's Shahaadah: "Ash-hadu An Laa Elaaha Ellaa Allah." They can never say this Shahaadah without invoking Muhammad's name. Test them yourself. The First Pillar of the distorted Islam, LAA ELAAHA ELLA ALLAH, MUHAMMAD RASOOL ALLAH, does not conform with God's commandments that came to us through Muhammad.

A number of other commandments are violated as well by this Mohammedan Shahaadah. For example, the Quran enjoins us repeatedly from making any distinction among God's messengers (2:136, 285; 3:84). The distorted Shahaadah gives more distinction to Muhammad, against his will. Despite the Quran's repeated assertions that it is "complete, perfect, and fully detailed" (6:19, 38, & 114), the "Muslims" have refused to believe their Creator; they uphold such ridiculous and nonsensical sources as Hadith and Sunna. This unanimous rebellion against God and His messenger, and the mass reversion to glaring idolatry - idolizing the Prophet and the saints - called for fulfillment of God's pledge in 47:38.

In view of the incontrovertible divine evidence presented here, one should truly appreciate the following verses:

[15:9] Surely, we have revealed this message, and surely, we will preserve it.

[41:41] Those who have rejected the Quran's proof when it came to them, have also rejected an Honorable book.
[41:42] No falsehood could enter it, in the past or in the future; a revelation from a Most Wise, Praiseworthy.

[17:88] If all the humans, and all the jinns, banded together, in order to produce a Quran like this, they will surely fail, no matter how much assistance they lend one another.

[59:21] If we revealed this Quran to a mountain, you would see it trembling, crumbling, out of reverence for God. We cite these examples for the people, that they may reflect.

Glory is to God, the Only Lord, the Only Savior!
Praise be to God, Lord of the universe!
