What this part covers
machinesummary, machine-writtenThe guest says the 19 structure cannot be chance or subconscious habit, that mathematicians cannot refute it, and that 19 appearing only in chapter 74 and being unveiled in 1974, nineteen times seventy-four lunar years later, is a prophecy.
In more detail
Mufti Abu Layth objects that humans may have a subconscious preference for certain numerical patterns, as poets kept pentameter before its mathematics was described, so correlations need not be divine. The guest says such suspicion is a good start but becomes dogmatism if one stops there without study; he says he has debated top mathematicians, including one who recently died of Covid-19 [?], and none can deal with it, since language is arbitrary and letter and word frequencies would not be multiples of 19 by chance; one may compose a sentence of nineteen letters, but the structure goes from simple to incredibly intricate. He gives one example, calling it also a prophecy: of the 285 numbers mentioned in the Quran, nineteen appears only once, in chapter 74, al-Muddaththir, the hidden one, and its meaning stayed hidden for exactly nineteen times seventy-four lunar years until it was unveiled in 1974 by Rashad Khalifa, whose name is mentioned nineteen times in the Quran; the opening words, O you hidden one, rise and warn, have nineteen letters whose abjad value is 1974. He adds that Khalifa's 1973 book on the initial letters shows no awareness of 19, which he discovered months later and announced in Ramadan.

stubborn were foolish shadows Caribou the numerical book those who are close to God they wouldn't say but those who are not witness they will not they will be fisted gene they will be confounded by their ignorance but their dogmas they will not see it and those who witness the traveler whom they were led they go up they they are enlightened by it they paradigm change they become rational model things they become really peacemakers they become honest people but those who are not witness and establishment who they are in their own
prisons in prisons of ignorance and corruption now let's come to the 19 yeah I was going to say that you see could it be as well as a as an objection could it be that there is this number 19 for example these kind of correlations but that's because human beings have this kind within the subconscious this kind of this this number like as an example if we take a look at poetry let's take a look at poetry now even in English is historically the pentameter now before
our in Arabic the before before they were discovered people just knew to kind of say something on a certain pattern and it sounded right without even knowing the mathematics behind it yet it's not necessarily there must have been some reasons in our subconscious why we like certain words to be 5 or like certain words to be in groups of 10 or in groups of six there must be something there but does that make it divine listen of course initially your reaction is you don't know it and you all do when
you are justified to have these suspicions about it absolutely it is a very good way to start but if you stop here because you made up a possible explanation but without studying and that will be dogmatism there will be a bigotry I challenge you I say I challenge everyone all the mathematicians I have debated with top mathematicians in the world with Carl Sagan when in fact recently a person mathematician he is a legend he died from commit 19 I debated with him for
hours in fact one of our last debates I put it on YouTube John Cohen and I debated with top mathematicians and but no one is able really to deal with this because it is a powerful proof that the Quran is extraordinary because the pattern the human the human language or Arabic is arbitrary is not mathematical it's not and the frequency of letters and words will not be multiple of 19 just by because you write a poetic stuff
never above you but you will see some patterns very clear obvious and can be made of course bismillah ar-rahman rahim have 19 letters you can come up with many statements with 19 letters but when you go too deep and deal you will find is incredible intricate and detailed a very sophisticated mathematical structure it comes from simple that every person can see it can understand it and at one level some mediocre people some some some and then there will come a point everyone
will give up to say this is consciousness or this can be made by human being and therefore this is proven to be Word of God and also to prophecy I am NOT going to give any examples right now be only one example we care about the letters of milah because it is so huge but I want to do one day start at the beginning but I want to tell you it is also a prophecy imagine this 19 is mentioned in which after my brother which chapter is 19 is mentioned 19 is measuring only one
chapter there are 285 numbers mentioned in the Quran as a repetition as a unique number there are thirty but through repetition 285 but nineteen is mentioned only once in one chapter we chapter I can bring it up on the phone chapter 74 my brother now chapter 74 is called mud bath sure
yeah the hidden one better because it starts yeah you had Macbeth food confessor oh the hidden one come out and world the hidden one and nineteen was hidden in that chapter for how long for exactly 19 times seventy for lunar years after his revelation let me repeat again 19 is mentioned in chapter 74 okay 19 in chapter 74 and the meaning the application of 19 remained
hidden for 19 times 784 lunar years and it was in melody in 1974 it was unveiled 1974 mlady Malati 19 x 74 lunar years later by someone whose name is mentioned in the quran 19 times Russia Russia and then this chapter which is known L mood best year the hidden one the secret the hiding start with one statement yeah you have
Macbeth there who fancy these two verses make one sentence yeah you have with that here or the Hilton one Poonam come rise rise and fell 0 and 1 and this is 19 letters if you look at the numerical value of each letter abject value it adds up to exactly what number give me a number my god fright I don't know I object how was what the Kelly man think about if you add is it
74 1974 yes and wasn't Rashad Khalifa born on the 19th of November or something yeah but in 1973 he published a book in fact the it is no Ben I think October or November the signature says 1973 the introduction in that book it is about the letters with guru fumaça toddies so-called mysterious letters of the quran in that book he doesn't have
any clue about number 19 yet he discover exactly the following few months later and then first time in raju troubles he unveiled to the world i have that his declaration in Raja travels in Arabic in fact I posted somewhere in YouTube I have the cassettes of that one it is 1917 can I ask about Khalifa because you were very close to him dear friend and a mentor to you and obviously he's inspired useful in many ways as well as many of the people is it true that he
claimed to be then a messenger from God is this true people make this claim he claimed to be Messenger of God in fact he before he claiming to be Messenger of God I was in Turkey that time I haven't paid him I studied the Quran I look at his number 19 it is not a small thing it was incredible discovery it is divine secret that God led to this time for our generation the generation of computer and information and therefore I said this is because the Quran says God the secrets unveiled two messengers in the chapter 72
