Ii) Deletion From The Qur’aan’s Text

As was pointed out earlier, in the case of Soorah S aad (38) which is prefixed by the letter S aad (ص) and which contains only 29 S aads (10 more than 19, and 9 less than 38), Dr. Rashad achieved his multiple of 19 by adding to it 26 S aads from Soorah Maryam and 98 from Soorah al-A‘raaf since both of these soorahs have the letter S aad in their “initials”. However, the resulting grand total was 153, agonizingly one more than was necessary to achieve his miraculous multiple of 19. Faced with this problem, Dr. Khalifa simply gave a false total of 28 S aads for Soorah S aad. He then proceeded to point out that the divine wisdom behind writing the word Bastatan بَسْطَةًas بَصْطَةً with a S aad instead of a Seen (س), in verse 69 of Soorah al-A‘raaf was to maintain the intricate mathematical relationship necessary to produce a multiple of 19 in the total number of S aads from the three soorahs. This line of argument was also repeated by Ahmed Deedat in his summary of Dr. Khalifa’s early presentation of the theory and its supportive data.[75]

However, it was later pointed out to Dr. Khalifa that his total for Soorah S aad was incorrect which created a new problem for him. He solved this problem in the 1982 edition of his book, Quran: Visual Presentation of the Miracle, by presenting a grand total of 152 S aads (19 x 8) for the three soorahs without indicating their individual totals.[76] Instead, he included in his book a photocopy of the three chapters with stars indicating the letters to be counted in order to camouflage the changes he had made to the text. However, when his running count was closely scrutinized, it became clear that he had corrected the total for Soorah S aad while simultaneously reducing the total in Soorah al-A‘raaf from 98 S aads to 97. This was achieved by taking the heretical step of actually deleting a S aad from the Soorah S aad. Dr. Rashad Khalifa rewrote the same word which he had previously held up as evidence of divine intervention in maintaining the miraculous code of 19! He removed the S aad from the word بَصْطَةً and replaced it with a Seen بَسْطَةً!
