The answer in brief

machinesummary, machine-written

Before he knew anything about the number 19 the guest had named his youth activist group FT-19, which he sees as an early connection to the number.

In more detail

Mufti Abu Layth takes a chat question asking the guest, half in jest, whether the person he first fell in love with was nineteen years old. The guest says he went to college at nineteen and that two years before hearing of the number 19 in the Quran he founded a youth group of fifty or sixty high-school students within Turkey's largest youth organisation and called it FT-19, without knowing the number's importance or even the verse, training them with graffiti and pamphlets for college activism, which he reads as a deep connection the number had with him before he knew it. Mufti says he will take more questions.
