What made me give up the code ...
Salaam!
I was believer in 19 as a miracle once. And among many things that were cause to reject it, I would specially emphasize a
careful reading of 74/31 in arabic. Whenever i was read it in arabic, i felt that something is wrong. When i read the verse in
english RK translation i did not have problem to accept 19 as miracle but when i read it carefully in arabic i was confused - It
was pretty clear to me that its only function is fitna for those who disbelieve(d) (for further explanation of the verse see
below, and for a detail explanation see the article The massacre), but i thought:" but how this wonderfull
numerico-mathematical code based on 19 divisibility etc could be a fitna for disbelievers !??". I thought about it… and i
thought about it… again and again and again …. but i was confused . And I start to doubt my understanding of quran and
arabic. I thought that it must be that something is wrong with me." How can it be only fitna for disbelievers when it is actually
a miracle?".
In/about that time i noticed a strange phenomena. Almost all the believers in code 19 that i knew interpreted quran in a
ludicrous, biased, sectarian and crazy way, and i noticed that they actually uphold other sources of the guidance besides
quran; that they idolise 19, that they idolise rk, that they actually believe more to rk`s appendices and 19-divisible
calculations, than they believe in the Word of God -Quran. They were no different from sunnies from which i has secluded a
few years ago. That forced me once again to examine code 19 itself . I read again debate about code 19 between Edip
Yukel and Daniel Lomax "Running like zebras" (this was maybe fifth time that i read it) and i was more and more aware that
criticism of code 19 by Daniel Lomax is quite reasonable and that his only mistake was that he actually was a sunnie.
That made me to realise how i was unjust and how i considered Edip Yuksels(a proponent of the code) arguments more
soundfull, only because he was "quran alone" like i was and because of my ignorance of statistics and numerology, and
because of my impression based on false data, generalization and looking at a lot of 19 divisible statistics rather than a
carefully and objective analysis of whole population of statistics(once you accept 19 as a miracle, every 19 divisible number
looks miraculous to you, and you forget that every 19th number in
universe of numbers is 19 divisible). I have learn a great lesson from it. Then i return again to arabic translation of 74/31 and
it was clear like day for me that their(74/31) number is "but a fitna for those who disbelieve-that will 1.cause increasing in
faith 2. 3. etc etc. AND NOT:
1.fitna for disbelievers 2.for believers to increase faith 3. for those who are given book to attain certainity.etc
One day my friend MH come to my home and we discused some themes that were discussed at quranic forums and we both
noticed how some of believers in 19 are avoiding plain quranic thruths for the sake of 19.
We both agreed that they in fact idolised No 19 and RK . Then i presented my new view of 74/31 and i ask him what does
he think , he said that he is amazed how such a big thing escape from his attention and attention of others and we even
discused it for almost a year on
rope forum. He commented that all this nubers blinded us to quran and that many of us
forsake the Quran for the sake of numbers. Then i realised that it was not my arabic nor my understanding that was wrong,
but the code and rk translation .
Esspecially when i have found on internet some stuff on bible code. I was surprised how much was written on the Bible
code(s) and many people reported some kinds of codes in Bible-there is a whole spectar of bible codes !!!. Moreover the
people reported codes in other religious book.
I saw the light. I realised that i was very wrong when i believed in code 19.
Almost to forget, one of the main thing s that has triggered my attention to opinion that code 19 is but a make-believe
is....gues what?
Quranic " misterious" "Initials" .
In all of eight occurences in quran where they were connected with the phrase "these are signs of book " it was not
established 19 divisibility yet!!! and it is admitted by beleivers of 19, for example by E.Y.
Actually these signs were talking to me that 19 divisibility has nothing to do with initials and that connecting initials with code
19 and 19-divisibility was just a vain attempt to justify code 19 and the most easiest way for rk and others to push code 19
in Quran and in the
hearts of believing people.
"You see-quran says that these initials are signs and their count/sum is 19 dividible."
Who could resist such a temptation: a mathematico-numerical code embedded in Quran and based on misterious initials for
which God said that represent the signs of His Book!!!
But, actually, only a few counts/or summs of initials were 19 divisible. You can read about it here:
"Initials", found on the begginning of 29 quranic chapters, do they have anything to do with code 19
More on initials Theory of code 19 is tearing down at the same place where it
started. At initials....If it was God`s intention to embede a code in Quran, then...
This, as well as, changing criteria and manipulations with counts of four bismilah´s word (the counts were doctored-actually NOT A SINGLE bismillahs` word come out as multiple of 19 read the article Numbers do lie! ) definitely convinced me that the code was mere manipulation and generalizaton without analysing whole population of statistics. Two most striking examples of code 19 were actually a bluff .
