O you hidden one.

[74:1-2] The All-Wise God, though He revealed the Quran to Muhammed about 14 centuries ago, kept its mathematical miracle as a gift to our times. Rashad Khalifa, an Egyptian biochemist living in the USA, did not have any knowledge that his curiosity regarding the meaning of the alphabet letters that initialize 29 chapters of the Quran would end up with the discovery of its mathematical system. His computerized study that started in 1969 gave its fruits in early 1974 by the discovery of the 14-century-old SECRET. The discovery of this code opened a new era that has been changing the paradigm of those who do not turn off the circuits of their brains in matters related to God. This discovery provided very powerful verifiable and falsifiable evidence for God's existence, His communication with us, and the fulfillment of a great prophecy. Besides, it saved monotheists from the contradiction of trusting past generations regarding the Quran, knowing that they have fabricated, narrated and followed volumes of man-made teachings, demonstrated ignorance, distorted the meaning of the Quranic words, and glorified gullibility and sheepish adherence to the fatwas of clerics. If the Code 19 was going to provide strong evidence for the existence of God and for the authenticity of the Quran, then it is reasonable to expect that the identity of the discoverer and the time of the discovery would not be coincidental. Indeed, the events have demonstrated a prophetic design in the timing of this miraculous mathematical design. The number 19 is mentioned only in a chapter known as "The Hidden," the 74th chapter of the Quran. Juxtaposing these two numbers yields 1974, exactly the year in which the code was deciphered. (Calendar based on the birth of Jesus and the solar year are accepted by the Quran as units of calculating time. See, 19:33; 43:61; 18:24. Besides, this is the most commonly used calendar in the world.) If we multiply these two numbers, 19x74, we end up with 1406, the exact number of lunar years between the revelation of the Quran and the discovery of the code. In January 31, 1990, Rashad Khalifa was assassinated in Tucson, Arizona, by a terrorist group affiliated with al-Qaida. Ironically, soon after his departure, ignorant people started idolizing him and created a cult distorting his message of strict monotheism. Also See 27:82-85; 40:28-38; 72:19-28.
