The Number 19

The number of Qur’anic chapters, surahs is 114, a multiple of the number 19. Allah …


 The number of Qur’anic chapters, surahs is 114, a multiple of the number 19. Allah, the almighty challenges all mankind and jinns to produce the like of the holy Qur’an; Allah says in the holy Qur’an:

“Say: "If the whole of mankind and Jinns were to gather together to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they backed up each other with help and support.”  Isra’: 17:88

The number of words of the above verse, in Arabic, is nineteen and the number of its letters is 76, a multiple of the number 19 and the number of Arabic alphabets of which the above verse is written is also 19 letters and the total of 19+ 19 + 76= 114, the same number as that of the chapters of the holy Qur’an! We can’t but glorify Allah, the almighty who says in the holy Qur’an:

Over it are Nineteen.”  Mudather: 74:30
