Two False Verses Removed from the Quran

The Quran is God's Final Testament. Hence the divine pledge to keep it perfectly preserved. To assure us of both the divine authorship, and the perfect preservation of the Quran, the Almighty author has rendered the Quran mathematically composed. As proven by the physical evidence in Appendix 1, such mathematical composition is far beyond human capabilities. The slightest violation of God's Final Testament is destined to stand out in glaring disharmony. A deviation by only 1 — one sura, one verse, one word, even one letter — is immediately exposed.

Nineteen years after the Prophet Muhammad's death, during the reign of Khalifa ‘Uthman, a committee of scribes was appointed to make several copies of the Quran to be dispatched to the new Muslim lands. The copies were to be made from the original Quran which was written by Muhammad's hand (Appendix 28).

This committee was supervised by ‘Uthman Ibn ‘Affaan, ‘Ali Ibn Abi Taaleb, Zeid Ibn Thaabet, Ubayy Ibn Ka'ab, ‘Abdullah Ibn Al-Zubair, Sa'eed Ibn Al-‘Aas, and ‘Abdul Rahman Ibn Al-Haareth Ibn Heshaam. The Prophet had written the Quran in its chronological order of revelation (Appendix 23), together with the necessary instructions to place every piece in its proper position. The last sura revealed in Medina was Sura 9. Only Sura 110, a very short sura, was revealed after Sura 9, in Mina.

The committee of scribes finally came to Sura 9, and put it in its proper place. One of the scribes suggested adding a couple of verses to honor the Prophet. The majority of scribes agreed. ‘Ali was outraged. He vehemently maintained that the word of God, written down by the hand of His final prophet, must never be altered.

‘Ali's protest is documented in many references, including the classic reference Al Itqaan Fee ‘Ulum Al Quran by Jalaluddin Al-Suyuty (Al-Azhareyyah Press, Cairo, Egypt, 1318 AH, Page 59):

The horrendous dimensions of this crime can be realized once we look at the consequences:

• 1`Uthman was assassinated, and `Ali was installed as the fourth Khalifa.
• 2A 50-year war erupted between the new Khalifa and his supporters on one side, and the Mohammedan distorters of the Quran on the other side.
• 3`Ali was martyred, and eventually his family, the prophet Muhammad's family, except for some women and children, were killed.
• 4The disaster culminated in the infamous Battle of Karbala, where `Ali's son, Hussein, and his family were massacred.
• 5The Muslims were deprived of the pure, unaltered, Quran for 1400 years.

The distorters of the Quran finally won the war, and the “official” history that came to us represented the victors' point of view. This apparent victory for God's enemies was, of course, in accordance with God's will. In just two decades after the Prophet's death, the idol worshipers who were defeated by the Prophet in the conquest of Mecca (632 AD) reverted to idolatry. Ironically, this time around their idol was the Prophet himself.

The first peace time ruler after this lengthy and disastrous war was Marwan Ibn Al Hakam (died 65 AH/684 AD). One of the first duties he performed was to destroy the original Quran — the one that was scrupulously written by the Prophet's own hand — “fearing it might become the cause of NEW disputes.” The question an intelligent person must ask is: “If the original Quran were identical to the Quran in circulation at that time, why did Marwan Ibn Al-Hakam have to destroy it?!”

Upon examining the oldest Islamic references, we realize that the false injections, 9:128-129, were always suspect. Every single verse in the Quran was verified by a multiplicity of witnesses “except Verses 128 and 129 of Sura 9; they were found only with Khuzeimah Ibn Thaabet Al-Ansaary.” When some people questioned this improper exception, someone came up with a Hadith stating that “the testimony of Khuzeimah equals the testimony of two men!!!”

Strangely, the false injections 9:128-129 are labeled in the traditional Quran printings as “Meccan,” even though Sura 9 is a Medinan sura. How could these “Meccan” verses be found with Khuzeimah, a late “Medinan” Muslim?! How could a Medinan sura contain Meccan verses, when the universal convention has been to label as “Medinan” all revelations after the Prophet's Hijerah from Mecca?

[14] The cumulative total for all 85 un-initialed suras (including Sura 9 with 127 verses) is 156066, or 19×8214. The false verses would destroy this criterion.

[15] Adding the sura numbers of all un-initialed suras plus their number of verses from the beginning to the end of Sura 9 gives 703, or 19×37. This depends on Sura 9 having 127 verses.

[16] Adding the un-initialed suras' numbers plus their verses plus the sum of verse numbers from missing Basmalah (9:1) to the end of the Quran gives 116090, or 19×6110.

[17] The same calculations from 9:1 to the extra Basmalah (Sura 27) gives 119966, or 19×6314. This would be destroyed if Sura 9 had 129 verses.

[18] The same calculations from 9:1 to where the number 19 is mentioned (74:30) gives 207670, or 19×10930. Sura 9 must consist of 127 verses.

[19] Looking at all verses whose digits add up to 10 (just like 127: 1+2+7=10), from 9:1 to 27:29, the grand total is 2470 (19×130). The sura numbers total 342 (19×18). These phenomena would be destroyed if Sura 9 had 129 verses.

[20] All suras whose number of verses ends with "9" — there are 13 such suras. Without Sura 9, the total number of verses is 627 (19×33), and the grand total (sura number + verses + sum of verse numbers) is 23655 (19×1245). If Sura 9 had 129 verses, it would be included and destroy both phenomena.

[21] Counting all the 1's in all verse numbers of the whole Quran gives 2546, or 19×134, with Sura 9 having 127 verses. Adding verses 128 and 129 would destroy this.

[22] Counting all the 1's in the 85 un-initialed suras gives 1406, or 19×74. Two additional 1's from verses 128 and 129 would violate this code.

[23] Counting all the 2's, 8's, and 9's (the digits in 128 and 129) across all verses gives 3382, or 19×178. The grand total of 1's, 2's, 8's, and 9's is 5928, or 19×312. Including 128 and 129 would destroy this.

[24] The total count of all the digits (1 through 9) in all verse numbers of the 85 un-initialed suras, including Sura 9 with 127 verses, is 27075, or 19×19×75.

[25] The sum of digits of every sura number plus the sum of digits of its verse count, for all 114 suras, totals 975+906 = 1881 = 19×99.

[26] Multiplying (instead of adding) the sum of digits of each sura by the sum of digits of its verse count gives a grand total of 7771, or 19×409.

[27] For odd-numbered suras only: sum of digits for suras = 513 (19×27), sum for verses = 437 (19×23), grand total = 950 (19×50).

[28] All suras consisting of 127 verses or less (105 suras): sum of sura numbers plus sum of verse numbers = 10963, or 19×577. Sura 9 is the only sura with exactly 127 verses.

[29] All odd-numbered suras whose number of verses is also odd (27 suras): the sum of their sura numbers plus verse numbers = 2774, or 19×146.

[30] All suras whose number of verses is a prime number (18 suras): the sum of digits of their sura numbers plus the sum of digits of their verse numbers = 266 = 19×14.

[31] Suras whose number of verses is divisible by 3 and consists of 3 digits (suras 5, 6, 11, 12, 17, 20): their sura numbers sum to 71, their verse counts to 765, grand total = 836 = 19×44. If Sura 9 had 129 verses, it would be included and destroy this.

[32] All suras consisting of 129 verses or more (8 suras: 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 20, 26, 37): their verse counts total 1577, or 19×83. Adding Sura 9 with 129 verses would give 1706, not a multiple of 19.

[33] All suras whose number of verses contains both digits "1" and "2" (9 suras): sum of sura numbers plus verse counts = 1159, or 19×61. Adding Sura 9 with 129 verses would give 1161, not a multiple of 19.

[34] The only suras with a single-digit number whose verse count contains "1" and "2" are Suras 5 and 9. Their verse counts: 120+127 = 247 = 19×13.

[35] All 30 suras whose verse count begins with "1": the sum of their verse numbers (1+2+3+...+n) is 126122, or 19×6638.

[36] All suras where the digits of sura number and verse count add up to 19 (10 suras): their sura numbers plus verse counts = 1216, or 19×64.

[37] All suras where sura digits add up to 9 and verse digits add up to 10 (4 suras: 9, 45, 54, 72): their verse counts total 247, or 19×13.

[38] If Sura 9 had 129 verses, the two suras where digits of sura add up to 9 and digits of verses add up to 12 (Suras 9 and 27) would give a total of 222, not a multiple of 19.

[39] All 13 suras whose verse count ends with "9": their verse counts sum to 627 (19×33), and the grand total is 23655 (19×1245) — without Sura 9.

[40] Odd-numbered suras whose verse count ends with "9" (6 suras: 15, 29, 43, 57, 81, 87): sum of sura numbers plus verse counts = 646, or 19×34. Including Sura 9 with 129 verses would give 784, not a multiple of 19.

[41] All 7 suras whose verse count ends with "7" (1, 9, 25, 26, 45, 86, 107): grand total of sura numbers plus verse counts = 798, or 19×42.
