God's Messenger of the Covenant
[3:81]
“God took a covenant from the prophets, saying, ‘I will give you the scripture and wisdom. Afterwards, a messenger will come to confirm all existing scriptures. You shall believe in him and support him.’ He said, ‘Do you agree with this, and pledge to fulfill this covenant?’ They said, ‘We agree.’ He said, ‘You have thus borne witness, and I am also a witness.’”
God's Messenger of the Covenant is a consolidating messenger. His mission is to purify and unify all existing religions into one: Submission (Islam). Islam is a description of one's total submission and devotion to God ALONE, without idolizing Jesus, Mary, Muhammad, or the saints. Anyone meeting this criterion qualifies as a “Muslim” (Submitter) — Muslim Jews, Muslim Christians, and so on.
The Quran is clear that the only religion approved by God is Submission (), and that anyone who seeks other than Submission as a religion, it will not be accepted ().
Prophet vs. Messenger
The Quran makes a critical distinction between Nabi (Prophet) and Rasoul (Messenger). A prophet delivers a new scripture, while a messenger confirms existing scripture without bringing new revelation. Every prophet is also a messenger, but not every messenger is a prophet.
states: “Muhammad was not the father of any of your men; he was a messenger (Rasoul) of God and the last prophet (Nabi).” Muhammad was thus the last prophet — no new scripture after him — but messengers can and do come after him. The gematrical value of “Muhammad Khaatum Al-Nabiyyeen” equals 1349, or 19×71, confirming this through the Quran's mathematical code.
All previous messengers required divine proof of their messengership: Moses transformed his staff into a serpent, Jesus healed lepers and revived the dead, Saleh produced the famous camel, Abraham walked out of fire, and Muhammad's proof was the Quran itself (). A new messenger likewise requires divine, incontrovertible proof.
The Prophecy
References to a consolidating messenger appear throughout the Quran at , , and . This prophecy is also found in the Bible at Malachi 3:1–3: “Lo, I am sending my messenger to prepare the way before me; and suddenly there will come to the temple the Lord whom you seek and the messenger of the covenant whom you desire.”
The covenant was confirmed in a personal experience during the Hajj pilgrimage on Zul-Hijjah 3, 1391 (December 21, 1971): “I was sitting still, while the prophets, one by one, came towards me, looked at my face, then nodded their heads.” Notably, the numerical sum of month (12) + day (3) + year (1391) = 1406 = 19×74. The number 19 is mentioned in Sura 74.
Mathematical Proof
The Quran's 19-based mathematical miracle was unveiled after being hidden for 1406 years (19×74). The root word “Rashada” (right guidance) occurs exactly 19 times in the Quran — matching the Quran's mathematical denominator. The name “Khalifa” (vicegerent / successor) appears in Suras 2 and 38.
Key Mathematical Facts
- • “Rashada” locations (40:29, 40:38) + “Khalifa” location (38:26): 40+29+38+38+26 = 171 = 19×9
- • All sura and verse numbers for “Rashada” and “Khalifa” sum to 1463 = 19×77
- • Gematrical value of “Rashad” = 505; “Khalifa” = 725
- • Sum of verse numbers from 1:1 through the first “Rashada” occurrence (2:186) = 17,233 = 19×907
- • 505 + 725 + 3 + 192 = 1425 = 19×75
Among the five great messengers, the gematrical values of their names sum to a multiple of 19: Abraham (258) + Ismail (211) + Isaac (169) + Muhammad (92) + Rashad (505) = 1235 = 19×65.
Verse 3:81 itself carries profound mathematical confirmation. The gematrical value of the entire verse = 13,148 = 19×692. The key phrase “JAA'AKUM RASOOLUN MUSADDIQUN LEMAA MA'AKUM” (a messenger will come to confirm what you have) = 836 = 19×44. And 505 + 725 + 81 = 1311 = 19×69.
“Surely, you are one of the messengers.”
Among the initialed suras, Sura 36 (Ya Seen) occupies position 19. The gematrical value of verse 36:3 (612) + sura (36) + verse (3) + name values (505+725) = 1881 = 19×99. Sura 36 has 83 verses: 36+83+505+725 = 1349 = 19×71. From 3:81 to 36:3 there are exactly 3333 verses; 3333+505 = 3838 = 19×202.
Additionally, verse 5:19 — “O people of the scripture, our messenger has come to you, to clarify things for you, after a long period without messengers” — has a verse number of 19, matching the Quran's denominator and the number of “Rashada” occurrences. The sura and verse numbers through 5:19 = 703 = 19×37.
Verse 44:13 likewise yields: sura/verse numbers from 1:1 through 44:13 = 5415 = 19×19×15. And 44+13 = 57 = 19×3.
End of the World
God alone knows the end of the world (, , , , ), yet He chooses to reveal certain knowledge to messengers He selects (). Sura 72 contains four occurrences of “Rashada” at verses 2, 10, 14, and 21. The sum 1230+72+2+10+14+21 = 1349 = 19×71. The opening phrase of , “Only the Messenger that He chooses,” has a gematrical value of 1919.
Criteria for God's Messenger
Three minimum criteria identify God's Messenger of the Covenant:
- 1God's messenger advocates the worship of God ALONE, and the abolition of all forms of idol worship.
- 2God's messenger never asks for a wage for himself.
- 3God's messenger is given divine, incontrovertible proof of his messengership.
Such a messenger is supported by God's invisible soldiers (, , , , ), guaranteed victory and dignity (, ).
