Letter count: manipulation

O

f the remaining 17 chapters which have Arabic letters, 13 of them have the letter Alif (ا) in the beginning of their “Quranic Initials” and Dr. Khalifa claims that in every case their “Initials” occur a multiple of 19 times within their own chapters. For example, he claims that

i)     ii)

Chapter 2 is initialed with the letter “A.L.M.” and contains 9899 of these letters (19 x 521). Chapters 3,29,30,31 and 32 are also initialed with the letters “A.L.M.” and the total frequency of occurrence of these letters is 5662 (19 x298), 1672 (19x88), 1254 (19x66), 817 (19x43), and 570 (19x30), respectively.

He makes similar claims for the five chapters prefixed by the letters Alif Laam Raa (الَر), the chapter prefixed by Alif Laam Meem Raa (الَمر) and for the remaining chapter prefixed by the letters Alif Laam Meem S aad (الَمص). Why do these 13 chapters fit so nicely into the theory and the previous 12 discussed in chapter three do not by Khalifa’s own admission? Actually none of these 13 chapters fit the theory, but Dr. Khalifa has managed to make them fit by doctoring the count of the Alifs in every case. He does this by selectively counting the letter Alif which is sometimes written above letters and read in ancient Arabic script as in the case of the Alif above the Laam in the word Allaah. If any are to be counted as Alifs, then all of them should be counted. By counting them where it is convenient, Dr. Khalifa is able to manipulate the totals in these 13 chapters and thereby produce multiples in every case.

For example, in verse 8 of Soorah as-Sajdah (32)

) ثُمَّ جَعَلَ نَسْلَهُ مِنْ سُلَلَةٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ مَهِينٍ (

Dr. Khalifa records a total of 2 Alifs [60]by counting the raised Alif in the word (سُلالَة) which is not written in the Qur’aanic script. While in verse 7 of the same soorah (32)

) اَلّذِي أَحَسَنَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ وَبَدَأَ خَلْقَ اْلإِنْسَنِ مِنْ طِيْنٍ (

he records only 5 Alifs [61] thereby excluding the raised Alif in the word (الإْنْسَان) which is not written in the Qur’aanic script.

Another example can be seen in verse 158 of Soorah Aal-‘Imraan (3)

) وَلَئِنْ مُتُّمْ أَوْ قُتِلْتُمْ َلإِلَى اللهِ تُحْشَرُونَ (

Dr. Khalifa finds 4 Alifs [62]in it by including the raised Alif in the word (إلى) while excluding the raised Alif in the word (الله). While in verse 41 of Soorah ar-Ra‘d (13), he has counted 16 Alifs, [63] by including the Alif in the word (الله).

) أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّا نَأْتِي اْلأَرْضَ نَنْقُصُهَا مِنْ أَطْرَافِهَا وَاللهُ يَحْكُمُ لاَ مُعَقِّبَ لِحُكْمِهِ وَهُوَ سَرِيْعُ الْحِسَابِ (
