this is what you can find concerning the Alif Lam Mim letters in the book TASFIR E ASKARI SLWT Jild2 page number 4 : Þæáå ÚÒæÌá: " Çáã Ðáß ÇáßÊÇÈ Çá ÑíÈ Ýíå ªÏì ááãÊÞíä " The Words of the Almighty "Alif Laam Meem, that is the Book in which there is no doubt and is a guidance for the pious." – VERSES 1 & 2 The Holy Imam asws said: 'The Qureysh and the Jews used to falsify the Quran and claimed it to be an open sorcery that is being spoken. Allahazwj Said: '"Alif Laam Meem, that is the Book in which there is no doubt and is a guidance for the pious." O Muhammadsaww! This Book which I have revealed to yousaww with the 'solitary letters' from are 'Alif Laam Meem' characters which are of your language, "let them bring the like of it if they are truthful, and let them seek the help of all those that are present.' 'Then, when they could not bring the like of it, Heazwj Says: If men and jinn should combine together to bring the like of this Quran, they could not bring the like of it, though some of them were aides of others [17:88]. Then Allahazwj the Almighty Said: '"Alif Laam Meem" is the Quran which begins with "Alif Laam Meem" and is "That Book" which Musaasws was informed of and the Prophetsasws after him, and the Children of Israel that I will be Revealing it to yousaww O Muhammadsaww, a Book in Arabic, Mighty, Falsehood shall not come to it from before it nor from behind it; a revelation from the Wise, the Praised One. [41:42] "There is no doubt in it" – There is no doubt in what appears in it as I had Informed their Prophetsasws about Muhammadsaww that I will be Revealing a Book to himsaww which will not be touched by falsehood, which will be read by himsaww and hissaww community in all conditions. "Guide" – Statements directing away from ignorance. "For the pious" – Those that stay away from sins, away from fooling themselves, until when they know what is obligatory upon them, they act upon it in such a way as to deserve the Pleasure of their Lord.' Then heasws said that Al Sadiqasws said: 'The 'Alif' a letter from the letters of your saying 'Allah'azwj is proof over your saying 'Allah'azwj. And the proof by 'Laam' over your saying – The Great King, Omnipotent, Creator of all. And the proof by 'Meem' – Heazwj is The Glorious, The Honoured, The Praised One is all His affairs. And give this Statement as a proof over the Jews.' 'And that when Allahazwj sent Musa Bin Imranasws and then after himasws other Prophetsas to the Children of Israel, there was not a single one of them except that Heazwj took a covenant from himasws of his belief in Muhammadsaww the Arab, that I will send himsaww as a Prophet in Mecca, and will emigrate to Medina and will give himsaww a Book, some chapters of which will start with the solitary letters, which will be memorized by some of his followers who will recite it while standing and sitting as well as in every situation. Allahazwj will make it easier for them to memorise it. They will read it with Muhammadsaww, hissaww brother and Trustee Ali Bin Abi Talibasws, the taker of knowledge from hissaww knowledge, and will be the treasurer of hissaww trusts, and will disgrace every enemy of hissaww and will silence every argument against himsaww by slicing proofs, will kill those who would object to the Revelation of the Book of Allahazwj until they accept it willingly or unwillingly.' 'Then when Muhammadsaww passes away to the Pleasure of Allahazwj, most of them will turn apostate after having only apparent belief and will alter the explanations of it, and give other meanings to its (Words), heasws will kill them over its explanations until Ibleesla who was their mentor will be disgraced, cast away, cursed and overcome.' Heasws said: 'When Allahazwj sent Muhammadsaww as a Prophet and made his appearance in

Mecca, and took himsaww to Medina and made him known there, Sent down on himsaww the Book, and started the big chapter of it with "Alif Laam Meem" that is "Alif Laam Meem that is the Book" and hesaww is the Book which the previous Prophetsas were informed that Iazwj will Reveal to you O Muhammadsaww "There is no doubt in it"...

THE MIRACLE OF 19 IN THE QUR'AN Another mathematical miracle of the Qur'an is the manner in which the number 19 is numerologically encoded in verses. This number is stressed in the words of the Qur'an: "There are nineteen in charge of it." (Qur'an, 74:30), and is encoded in various places in the Book. Some examples of this can be listed as follows:

The Formula consists of 19 letters.

The Qur'an consists of 114 (19 x 6) Suras. The first Sura to be revealed (Sura 96) is the 19th from the end. The first verses of the Qur'an to be revealed are the first five verses of Sura 96

and the total number of words in these verses is 19.

As we have seen, the first five verses consist of 19 words. The " " is a letter, not a word. Likewise, letters " " are not included in the calculation either.

The first Sura to be revealed, Surat al-'Alaq, consists of 19 verses and 285 (19 x 15) letters.

Surat an-Nasr, the final Sura to be revealed, consists of a total of 19 words.

There are 114 Formulas in the Qur'an or 19 x 6. A total of 113 Suras in the Qur'an start with the formula. The only Sura not to

start with one is the ninth, Surat at-Tawba. Surat an-Naml is the only Sura to have two formulas. One of these is at the beginning and the other in verse 30. Counting from Surat at-Tawba, which does not begin with the formula, Surat an-Naml follows 19 Suras on.

There is a formula at the beginning of the 27th Sura, Surat an-Naml, and in verse 30. There are thus two formulas in the 27th Sura. It is the formula in the 30th verse of the 27th Sura which completes the total of 114 formulas in the Qur'an. When we add together the number of the verse and the number of the Sura, 30 and 27, we find the number 57 (19 x 3). The total number of Suras from Surat at-Tawba (9) to Surat an-Naml (27) is 342 (9 + 10 + 11 +12 +13 +14 +15 +16 + 17 + 18 + 19 + 20 + 21 + 22 + 23 + 24 + 25 + 26 + 27). That figure is 19 multiplied by 18.

The sum of all the occurrences of the name "Allah" in all the verses whose numbers are multiples of 19 (i.e., verses 19, 38, 57, 76, etc.) is 133, or 19 x 7.

The "abjad" value of the word "wahd" meaning "one" is 19. This word is used with various other words in the Qur'an, such as one door, one variety of food. It is used 19 times together with the name "Allah."

Total abjad value of the word 19

The total of the Sura and verse numbers of the occasions when the word "wahd" appears 19 times is 361: (19 x 19).

The Arabic word "wahdahu," meaning "worship only Allah," appears in the verses 7:70, 39:45, 40:12, 40:84 and 60:4. When these figures are added up without numbers being repeated, the resulting total is 361 (19 x 19).

The number of verses between the first initial letters (Alif, Lam, Mim; Surat al-Baqara 1) and the final initial letters (Nun; Surat al-Qalam 1) is 5,263 (19 x 277).

There are 38 (19 x 2) Suras without initial letters between the first Sura which has initial letters and the last to have them.

The word "Rahman" (All-Merciful) appears 57 (19 x 3) times in the Qur'an. Thirty different numbers are mentioned in the Qur'an.

1 7 19 70 1.000 2 8 20 80 2.000 3 9 30 99 3.000 4 10 40 100 5.000 5 11 50 200 50.000 6 12 60 300 100.000

The total of these numbers (again without taking repetitions into account) is 162,146. This is 19 x 8,534: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 + 19 +20 + 30 + 40 + 50 + 60 + 70 + 80 + 99 + 100 + 200 + 300 + 1,000 + 2,000 + 3,000 + 5,000 + 50,000 + 100,000 = 162,146 (19 x 8,534).

In addition to these thirty numbers, the Qur'an also refers to eight fractions: 1/10, 1/8, 1/6, 1/5, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 and 2/3. The Qur'an thus contains a total of 38 (19 x 2) different numbers.

The Sura from the beginning to possess 19 verses is Surat al-Infitar. Another

feature of this Sura is that its final word is "Allah." At the same time, this is the 19th appearance of the name "Allah" from the end.

The 50th Sura, which begins with the letter Qaf, contains a total of 57 (19 x 3) letters Qaf. There are also 57 letters Qaf in the 42nd Sura with a letter Qaf at the beginning. The 50th Sura contains 45 verses. Added together, these total 95 (19 x 5). There are 53 verses in the 42nd Sura. These again total 95 (42 + 53).

50th Sura 57 (19x3) Letter Qaf 42nd Sura 57 (19x3) Letter Qaf 50th Sura 45th verse 50+45=95 (19x5) 42nd Sura 53rd verse 42+53=95 (19x5)

The abjad value of the word "Majeed," used for the Qur'an, in the first verse of Surah Qaf is 57 (19 x 3). As we have stated above, the total number of letters Qaf is also 57.

When we add together the number of times that the letter Qaf appears in the Qur'an, we reach a total of 798 (19 x 42). Forty-two is the number of another Sura with Qaf among its initial letters.

The letter Nun appears at the beginning of only the 68th Sura. The total number of times it appears in that Sura is 133 (19 x 7).

When we add together the number of verses (including the formulas) in Suras the number of which are multiples of 19, the following is noteworthy:

SURA NUMBER NUMBER OF VERSES

19x1 19th Sura 99

19x2 38th Sura 89

19x3 57th Sura 30 19x4 76th Sura 32 19x5 95th Sura 9 19x6 114th Sura 7 TOTAL =266 (19x4)

The letters Ya and Sin appear at the beginning of Surah Ya Sin. The letter Sin appears 48 times in Surah Ya Sin and the letter Ya 237 times. The total of these letters is 285 (19 x 15).

Only one Sura, the seventh, begins with the initial letters "Alif, Lam, Mim, Sad." The letter Alif appears in this Sura 2,529 times, the letter Lam 1,530 times, the letter Mim 1,164 times and the letter Sad 97 times. These four letters thus appear a total of 2,529 + 1,530 + 1,164 + 97 times, or 5,320 (19 x 280) times.

The letters Alif, Lam and Mim are the most frequently used letters in Arabic. They appear together at the beginning of six Suras: numbers 2, 3, 29, 30, 31 and 32. The number of times these three letters appear in each of these six Suras is a

multiple of 19. In order: 9,899 (19 x 521), 5,662 (19 x 298), 1,672 (19 x 88), 1,254 (19 x 66) and 817 (19 x 43). The total number of times all these three letters appear in the six Suras is 19,874 (19 x 1,046).

The initial letters Alif, Lam and Ra appear in Suras 10, 11, 12, 14 and 15. The total number of times these letters appear in these Suras is 2,489 (19 x 131), 2,489 (19 x 131), 2,375 (19 x 125), 1,197 (19 x 63) and 912 (19 x 48).

The frequency with which the initial letters Alif, Lam, Mim and Ra appear is 1,482 (19 x 78) in total. The letter Alif appears 605 times, Lam 480 times, Mim 260 times and Ra 137 times.

The initial letters Qaf, Ha, Ya, 'Ayn and Sad appear in only one Sura, the 19th. The letter Qaf appears 137 times in this Sura, Ha 175 times, Ya 343 times, 'Ayn 117 times and Sad 26 times. The total number of appearances of these five letters is 137 + 175 + 343 + 117 + 26 = 798 (19 x 42). Other findings on this subject include: In the whole of the Qur'an, - the word "atee" (obey!) appears 19 times, - the words "Abd" (servant), "abid" (a person who serves) and "abudu" (worship) appear a total of 152 (19 x 8) times,

The numerical abjad values of some of the names of Allah given below are also multiples of 19: - Al-Wahid (The One) 19 (19 x 1) - Aj-Jami (The Gatherer) 114 (19 x 6) 19: AN EXTRAORDINARY NUMBER

The number 19 is the total of the numbers 9 and 10 to the power of 1. The difference between the numbers 9 and 10 to the power of 2 is again 19.

Figure 2: The first 19 figures

Conclusion: The total of the first 19 figures is a multiple of 19. The total of the first 19 numbers is a multiple of 19. The connection between the number 19 and the Pascal triangle with regard to the revelation sequence of the Qur'anic verses

The 96th Sura, the first revealed, comes 19 before the end. It consists of 19 verses and contains a total of 285 letters (19 x 15). The first five verses of the revelation contain 76 (19 x 4) letters.

The first verses of the 68th Sura, the second to be revealed, consist of 38 (19 x 2) words.

The third revelation, the 73rd Sura, contains 57 (19 x 3) words.

It [the Qur’an] is simply a reminder to all the worlds. You will certainly know the truth of it after a while. (Qur’an, 38:87-88)
