I) Additions to The Qur’aan’s Text

Of the remaining four chapters in which the total occurrence of prefixed letters could add up to a multiple of 19 is Soorah al-Qalam (68), prefixed by the letter Noon (ن). According to Dr. Khalifa,

“Chapter 68 is initialed with the letter “Nun” and contains 133 Nuns; 133 = 19 x 7,”[72]

However, the actual number, with the inclusion of a Noon from the Basmalah [73] (ie., the phrase Bismillaahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem which precedes most chapters) is 132. Faced with this dilemma of being agonizingly one Noon short of his desired total, Dr. Rashad resorted to the heretical act of rewriting the Qur’aanic text by actually changing the letter Noon (ن), which prefixes the soorah, to the word (نون), which is the name of the Arabic letter, thereby introducing another Noon into the text to achieve the desired total of 133 Noons. He did this in spite of writing in the beginning of the Soorah:

“Chapter 68 is initialed with the letter “N”, and contains 133 “N’s.” 133 = 19 x 7”
