If you're new Manu's Bobby, guys, today's video is a little bit weird because I just had a dream last night dreaming about the number 19. Then I remembered that months ago some of my subscribers told me that the number 19 plays a significant role in the Quran. So I woke up this morning and searched for the number 19 in the Quran. This is why we will react to the miracle of number 19 in the Quran by Dr. Shabir Ali. I know many of you guys do not like Dr. Shabir Ali. So if you have any other videos on this topic that are better than his video, please let me know in the comment section. For today, this will have to do with no further ado. Let's have a look. Welcome to Let the Quran Speak. I'm Aisha, your host. Let's continue our discussion on mathematical miracles in the Quran. As part of our series Quran, is it really the word of God? Today, we'll focus on the specific occurrence of the number 19 in the Quran and how it relates to our discussion on mathematical miracles in the Quran. Let's sit down with Dr. Shabir Ali. Welcome to the show Dr. Shabir. Pleasure to be on. So we're continuing our series on Quran. Is it really the word of God? So I have to say, I find it a bit strange that she is inviting Dr. Shabir Ali onto the show, even though it is his own YouTube channel and it is his show ultimately. Moreover, I even heard that this is the daughter of Dr. Shabir Ali. So this is a very strange setup for me personally, but maybe I'm not professional enough. We're focusing on a particular the number 19. Now, how does this relate to probability theory? Well, sometimes we see things falling into place and we say, okay, well, it just happened by coincidence. And a lot of times that is exactly what it is. Just a simple coincidence. But okay, I have to interrupt yet again. Coincidence does not exist for the believer. Coincidence cannot exist whatsoever. If we believe in Qadr Allah in the will of God, we cannot believe in coincidence whatsoever. What we know from probability theory is that yes, it depends. But what we know from probability theory is that yes, things may happen, fall into place by coincidence. But to have a series of such coincidences is actually very rare. Let's say, for example, I flip a coin. Now, I see the heads or tails coming up, right? And the chance of it being heads is one half or 50 percent because there is one chance out of two possibilities. It's either heads or tails. And I'm looking for that one possibility out of the two. Now, to get heads twice in a row is actually one half times one half, which is one quarter. In other words, one out of four because if you flip it two times, there are four different outcomes which are possible and you need heads each time. So you need actually one possibility out of the four that could occur, meaning both are heads. And if you do it three times in a row, the probability of getting heads on each spin is actually one out of eight now. So your chances are eight different outcomes which are possible and you want one specific outcome that you have heads on each one of them. So the more you flip, the lesser a chance you have that you have your desired outcome. Now, that's with a coin where there are two possibilities either head or tails, right? If you go to use a dice, use a die which has six faces, the probability of getting one particular face, let's say you want the number five for some reason. Most people like to get six, right? Yeah, I was going to say. But let's say you wanted to get the number five for some reason. Now, to get that number five, you roll the die, the probability of getting that five is one out of six because the six different outcomes you can get, number one, two, three, all the way to six, but you want that specific one is one out of five, one out of six. But if you want to get the five on two throws in a row, then now it is one out of 36. Because now you have 36 different outcomes and you want five on each one of them. That's true. So that's one specific outcome out of the 36. And if you want three throws and five on each one of them, it's one out of 216. Your math is really good. Well, I mean, I've done this before. So you see now the chance of getting your desired result is becoming slimmer and slimmer if you're doing a number of them in a row. Now, if we work with a die which has six faces, right? Imagine a die that has 19 faces. It's hard to imagine because to get them all even. But now just to see the numbers, so to get the one desired number if you're working with a die that has 19 faces is one out of 19. And if you do it two times in a row and you want to get the same number on each row, then it's one out of 361. Which will be very unlikely. It's very, very unlikely. So now we see that there are certain things in the Koran that work out to either 19 or a multiple of 19. And to get one of these numbers coming out like this, the probability of each one is one out of 19. And to get two in a row is like one out of 361, 19 times 19. So this is very rare. And to find this in the Koran would indicate to us that the divine hand is behind the Koran. And it is God's mind who put the Koran to be the way it is. It's not by human invention. And who, someone obviously did this research, right? In this area of focus. So can you elaborate a little bit on that? Yeah, the first person to come up with this finding is a man by the name of Dr. Rashad Khalifa. He had lived in Arizona in Tucson. And he was of Egyptian background, but he was an engineer and he knew his way around computers. He fed the Koranic data into a computer program and then he could make computer things. And he found that a lot of things came out as products of 19. And he exaggerate like how is it something like the claim that the word day is mentioned 365 times the word month is mentioned 30 times, et cetera, et cetera. Is this what adds up to the number of 19? They're not really explaining it here. So please let me know in the comments section where the number 19 appears. Claims, later on when people checked some of his claims they found that sometimes the data seems to be fudged a little bit. Some things did not actually work out to 19 the way he said. Okay. Plus he made the exaggerated claims about himself. He said that he is God's messenger for the current time to bring forth this information to the modern world. And in Sunni Islam, it's not accepted that there will be another messenger after our Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. And so his personal claims were... And he used a computer. And also some of his numbers were found to be incorrect. But when all of that dust of debate had settled some other students of the Quran continued to check and double check the findings and come up with some findings on their own as well. And in the end we have concluded that even though we reject the claims of Rashad Khalifa himself there are certain things about the Quran which are undeniable. This is about the book itself and we don't reject the book. And we don't reject the obvious findings which are connected with the book. And what are some of the examples? Well we find that the Quran actually draws our attention to 19. In a verse of the Quran in the 74th chapter, the 30th verse the Quran says And within the context what it means is that there are 19 angels guarding hell. So it's not so much about the number 19 itself as a phenomenon in the Quran. It's just talking about 19 angels guarding hell. But Rashad Khalifa took that to be 19 as a pattern in the Quran. But so we're not saying this means that there is a 19 pattern in the Quran. It means there are 19 angels guarding hell. But at the same time it led somebody to think that there is a possibility of 19 being a mathematical system embedded in the Quran. And indeed we are finding that 19 pops up in some very key places which draw our attention to the creator. And I clicked on this video to find out where the miracle is. So what are some of the other examples? So right here where it says over at our 19 that's in the 30th verse. The very next verse, the 31st verse of that 74th Surah explains in detail why God made 19 angels to guard hell. And it says that this is in order to strengthen the faith of the believers and even to give certainty to the people of the book who might be looking at the Quran. And at the same time, this same phenomenon will cause people who want to doubt to say, well, you know, what does God mean by all of this? To derive the information. Now this verse which goes into such great detail explaining the wisdom behind the 19 angels actually comprises 57 words which is 19 times 3. Oh wow. Yes. And which we know to be a real phenomenon that it's a product of 19. Then we go to what preceded this verse in this Surah and we see that the first 30 verses actually comprise 57 words, 95 words which is 19 times 5. And the first 19 verses comprise 57 words which is 19 times 3. And what is even more interesting is that, you know, the passage reads and then we come to the mention of the word 19. So over it are 19. If we count all of the letters from the beginning of that chapter all the way to the word 19, just before the word 19, there are 361 letters which is 19 times 19. So this is if we're counting the word we're saying 19 times 5. We're definitely on to something. That's very interesting. 3, 19 times 18, 19 times 19. Right on the dot and dot square. And then right there it says 19 in a word. All right? Tisat Asher, two words which make up the word 19. So it all led up to the 19. And do we know, is it like I guess within the context obviously the number 19 is significant in this area? Are there other numbers as well or is this study focused on the number 19? Well, there are other numbers we will see in a later episode. We'll have to leave it for a later episode that there are things working out to multiples of 7 as well. And 7 is also mentioned in the Quran in a significant way. But sticking with 19 for the moment, there are other examples. So this is actually absolutely fascinating because I do know that the number 7 has significant spiritual power if you will in the New Age movement. People talk about multiple dimensions and whatnot. However, even in the traditional religions, I know that the number 7 holds significant spiritual meaning. For example, in Christianity, the number 7 is associated with perfection, completeness, and the idea of God's rest after creation. The book of Genesis describes God creating the world in six days and resting on the 7th, which is why the 7th day of the week, Saturday or Sunday, depending on the tradition, is considered a day of rest and worship. Or in Islam, the number 7 is also associated with completion and perfection. For example, Muslims believe that there are 7 heavens and 7 earths and that the Quran contains 7 verses that are repeated throughout the text. Or in Hinduism, the number 7 is associated with the shakras or energy centers in the body. There are 7 main shakras, each representing a different aspect of consciousness and spiritual development. Or in Buddhism, the number 7 is associated with the 7 factors of enlightenment, which are mindfulness, investigation, energy, joy, tranquility, concentration, and equanimity. So, as you can see, throughout the faith traditions, numbers do hold a significant meaning. With 19 for the moment, there are other examples. If you allow me, if time permits. The 72nd chapter of the Quran is entitled Surat al-Jinn. And that chapter comprises 285 words, which is 19 times 15. That chapter, if we look at the last word in each verse, those last words comprise 114 letters. And 114 is the number of surahs in the entire Quran. The first chapter of the Quran said to be revealed to the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, according to some Muslim traditions, is the 96th chapter. But not the entire chapter, just the first five verses. And these first five verses comprise 19 words. And if you count the letters, there are 76 letters, which is 19 times 4. And if we look at the entire chapter, that entire chapter comprises 285 letters, which is 19 times 15. And it so happens that that chapter comprises 19 verses. And it is the 19th chapter from the end of the book. I mean, it's sort of very shocking because I've never really looked into this, but it is. Yeah, there are so many coincidences that... So what would you believe does this mean? I would like to hear it from you. There are some surahs of the Quran that begin with what we call non-mysterious letters. Mysterious because we don't know the meanings. We just know that they're there, they've lost far back as we can trace, they were part of the Quran. And they don't carry any meaning because it's like saying ABC. Maybe they name something, maybe it's like an initial for somebody's name. I can't believe that the word of God has no meaning, just a few random words. That cannot be. I personally believe that every single word in the Quran holds powerful meaning. If we know about it or not, maybe it is not for us to find out right now, maybe later. I cannot settle and say, oh, we don't know and therefore it has no meaning. Same or whatever. That doesn't make sense. But in the Quran, we don't know why these letters are there. Just like there. They don't form any words. Yeah, we don't know. They just deflected letters. There was one surah of the Quran that starts with the letter Q and only the letter Q. That's the equivalent, Qaf in Arabic. And the surah is actually named surah Qaf, which is the 50th chapter of the Quran. Now, it turns out that if we count the number of times this letter Qaf occurs within that chapter, there are exactly 57 occurrences of that letter Qaf, which is 19 times 3. 57 times throughout the Quran? Throughout that particular surah, that 50th surah. Oh, wow, okay. Yeah. Now, there is another chapter that has this letter Qaf amidst other letters. This is the 42nd chapter of the Quran, the surah Tashura. Now, it says Ha-Me-Mein-Sin Qaf. So it has the Qaf right in there. That surah as well has this letter Qaf occurring exactly 57 times in that surah, which is 19 times 3. Now, some people said that Qaf occurring at the beginning of the 50th chapter stands for Quran, because that's the letter that spells the word Quran. What makes sense, sir? We can't be sure that that's the meaning, because we said the meaning is mysterious. We don't know. But if we think about this for a moment, there are 57 Qafs in that surah and 57 in the other surah. The two together make up 114, which is the number of surahs in the entire Quran. And 114, by the way, is 19 times 6. So the number of chapters in the Quran is the product of 19. It's undeniable. Now, the beginning of the Quran is as you know the best matter. What does it stand for? And this phrase, which means in the name of God, the beneficent, the merciful one, comprises 19 letters and theoretically can be written by 22 letters. But the tradition has it that it's been written with the 19 letters all throughout our history. But when people first wrote it with 19 letters, they didn't say, let's write it with 19 letters. It just so happens that that's how they wrote it using the writing conventions at the time. And it turns out now, because we have kept that convention, that whereas modern convention would actually call for the writing of this with 22 letters, this ancient convention, given at the time from the time what's man wrote down the Quran, it's with the 19 letters. And this is how it appears right now in the Quran as well in 19 letters? With the 19 letters, yes. And this phrase itself, because it's found at the beginning of every surah, the natural conclusion is that it occurs 114 times as well, except that the ninth chapter of the Quran does not have it, for some mysterious reason. The ninth chapter? The ninth chapter, which is called Surat Al-Bara'a or Surat At-Tawbah. It does not have the Basmala written at the beginning like other surahs do. So now it looks like only 113. However, the 27th chapter of the Quran does mention the Basmala in the midst of the surah itself. So that one surah has two of them, one at the beginning as usual and one within. So that one within seems to compensate for the one which is not there at the beginning of Surat Al-Bara'a, and now we have 114 of them. Now, if we think about the distance between these two chapters, the one that does not have the Basmala as we would expect, and the other one that has the Basmala in the midst of the surah where we didn't expect it to be, we see that these two form a block of 19 surahs, because from the ninth to the 27th inclusive, there are 19 surahs. Very, very interesting, Dr. Shabir. So if anyone, I know, do we have somewhere where people can read this because it is very interesting information? Well, we have a short document about this which is put on our website, so we would invite our viewers to go there. Perfect. Very interesting. Thank you, Dr. Shabir. You're welcome. All right, guys. And this is it for today's video. Absolutely mind-blowing stuff. However, one thing was missing for me personally. Now, we found out that the number 19 is occurring all the time over and over again in the Quran. However, we do not know what the spiritual significance of the number 19 is. Dr. Shabir Ali did not give us an explanation. And that being said, it's not really a critique for Dr. Shabir Ali because I know that nobody really has the set meaning, the set interpretation of the number 19. Nevertheless, I'm very curious myself and therefore I did some research. So as you can see here, I found out that the special spiritual significance of the number 19 in Islamic theology is believed to be related to the concept of unity and harmony. Some Muslims believe that the repeated occurrence of the number 19 in the Quran is a sign of God's perfect order and unity in the universe. Others believe that the number 19 represents the unity of God as it is a multiple of the number one, which is considered the most important number in Islamic theology. In this view, the repeated occurrences of the number 19 in the Quran are a symbol of the oneness of God and the harmony of creation. Another interpretation of the spiritual significance of the number 19 is that it represents a sacred pattern or code even that underlies the structure of the Quran. Some scholars have suggested that the code 19 is a hidden message from God that reveals the true meaning of the Quran and its message of unity and harmony. Overall, the special spiritual significance of the number 19 in Islamic theology is a topic of debate and interpretation among Muslims. While some see it as evidence of the Quran's divine origins and sign of God's perfect order in the universe, others view it as an interesting curiosity with little practical significance for their faith. And guys, this is all the information I can find about the Islamic meaning of the number 19. If you know anything more, please let me know in the comments section. Lastly, I want to leave you with a little bit of the New Age input here because yes, if you've been following this channel back in the day, I used to be into the New Age movement as well. Not consciously. I didn't even know what I was getting myself into. However, I was into psychedelics, spiritual experiences, meditation, yoga and whatnot. So in the New Age movement or spirituality in general, the number 19 is considered a powerful and transformative number symbolizing new beginnings and the start of a new cycle. In numerology, which is the study of numbers and their spiritual significance, the number 19 is reduced to 1 plus 9 equals 10. 1 plus 0 equals 1, which is the number of creation and new beginnings. As you can see, it boils down to 1 yet again. This suggests that the number 19 is associated with fresh starts, new opportunities and the potential for growth and development. As I said, this is the New Age. We would associate the number one, of course, with one God. Furthermore, the number 19 is also associated with spiritual awakening and enlightenment. Many spiritual teachers and gurus believe that the number 19 represents the path of spiritual transformation and the journey towards higher consciousness. All right, but this is all the input I could gather. I didn't really get a satisfactory answer for my curiosity, especially not after waking up to a dream of the number 19. I would have to boil it down with the significance of the number 19 for us believers is to worship one God alone. All right, guys, but this is it for today's video.
