Revealing the Secrets and Wonders of Numbers in the Koran

The miraculous numbers in the Quran demonstrate that this holy book of Muslims is a revelation from Allah SWT and not a human creation. This miracle also indicates that the Quran is the greatest miracle given to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

The Koran is the greatest miracle addressed to the Prophet Muhammad SAW

Besides numerology, there are many miracles in the Muslim holy book that could not have been written by mere mortals. Opponents of Islam also cannot accuse it of being the work of the Prophet Muhammad, who could neither read nor write.

The miraculous number of the Quran demonstrates the uniqueness of the Muslim holy book, which aligns with modern science. The discovery of the mystery of the numbers in this holy book, through research and specific calculations, aligns with Allah's words in Surah Al-Qomar, verse 49.

God willing

Artinya: "Sungguh, Kami menciptakan segala sesuatu menurut ukuran."

In this surah, Allah SWT states that all creation in the universe is measured according to a measure. The numerical mysteries in the holy book also symbolize this measure, allowing humanity to continually learn and develop.

The following is the magic of numbers in the Koran

Research and calculations have shown that there are numerical miracles in the Quran that are impossible for humans to achieve. Here are some of the numerical mysteries contained in the Muslim holy book.

1. The number 19 in the Quran

The number 19 is a universal divisor, so its multiples are divisible by 19, such as 38, 57, and so on. Research has shown that the entire text of the Quran is systematically and sophisticatedly structured around 19 as a divisor.

Interestingly, the miraculous number 19 in the Quran has varying degrees of complexity. Some calculations are simple enough to be calculated manually, while others are complex enough to require a computer program to prove it is a multiple of 19.

The mathematical system based on the number 19 is closely linked to the holy book revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). In fact, this miracle can be appreciated not only by those with advanced mathematical skills, but also by simple calculations.

Keajaiban angka dalam Al-Quran dengan bilangan 19 tidak hanya sebagai kode rahasia saja. Bahkan peristiwa penemuan bilangan 19 sebagai ‘miracle’ juga terhubung dengan bilangan tersebut sesuai dengan kehendak Allah SWT.

The discovery of the secret code occurred in January 1974, or 1393 Hijri, while the Quran was first revealed 13 years before Hijri. If added together, 1393 + 13 = 1406 years (Hijri calendar) divided by 19, the result is 74, or 1974 AD.

A Christologist named Ahmed Deedat, through his discovery, showed the miracle of numbers in the Quran with the number 19. The results of this discovery have been published through his translated book entitled The Miracle of the Number 19 in the Quran.
