1-Number 19

1-Number 19

Before we start with the subject let’s discuss the wonders of the number 19. The number 1 serves as a fundamental unit in mathematics, representing a single entity, while the number 9 is the highest single-digit numeral, signifying the culmination of values before reaching the next tens place. Together, they not only define the numerical value of 19 but also symbolize the journey of counting, emphasizing how individual digits can merge to establish greater quantities. This concept is essential in our understanding of mathematics, as it lays the groundwork for more complex arithmetic operations.

The Wonders of the Number One

The number 1 is the most fundamental building block of all mathematics. While the number 9 has the fascinating “digital root”. The number 1 holds a unique position as the “Multiplicative Identity.” In mathematics, this means that if you take any number and multiply it by 1, the number stays exactly the same.

For example, if you have 5 apples and you multiply them by 1, you still have 5 apples. Because it never changes the value of another number, mathematicians call it the “identity element” for multiplication.

Number One is Special

Beyond being the identity element, the number 1 is the foundation of our entire counting system. Every whole number you know is actually just a collection of ones added together. For instance, the number 5 is just $1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1$ .

Because of this, 1 is called the “unit.” In ancient times, many philosophers, such as the Pythagoreans, did not even consider 1 to be a “number” in the same way as 2 or 3; instead, they viewed it as the source or the “monad” from which all other numbers were born.

The Unique Properties of One

There are several other “superpowers” that only the number 1 has:

The Multiplicative Identity: As mentioned, $n \times 1 = n$ . This is true for any number $n$ in the universe.
The Power of One: No matter how many times you multiply 1 by itself, it always stays 1. You can write this as $1^{n} = 1$ . Whether you multiply 1 by itself 2 times or 2 million times, the result is always 1.
The Division Rule: When you divide any number by itself, you get 1 (as long as the number isn’t zero). So, $5 \div 5 = 1$ and $100 \div 100 = 1$ .
Not Prime, Not Composite: In the world of prime numbers (numbers that can only be divided by 1 and themselves), 1 is the “lonely” exception. It is not considered a prime number because prime numbers must have exactly two distinct factors, and 1 only has one factor: itself.

A Building Block

Because 1 is the building block of everything, it is the starting point for all measurement. In science, we use “units” to measure things—like 1 metre, 1 second, or 1 kilogram. Without the number 1, we wouldn’t have a way to define how much or how long anything is!

Now let’s move on to number 9.

The Magical Properties of the Number 9

The number 9 has fascinated mathematicians, philosophers, and students for centuries because of its unique position in our base-10 number system.

When you multiply 9 by any whole number, the resulting digits—when added together—will always collapse back into 9 (or a multiple of 9). This happens because our number system is built on powers of 10, and 9 is exactly one less than 10 ( $10 - 1 = 9$ ). For Example 9 x2=18 and 1 + 8=9, and 9 x3=27 and 2 + 7=9 and so one.

The “Casting Out Nines” Trick

This property is so reliable that mathematicians once used it as a shortcut to check if their long multiplication or addition problems were correct, a method called “Casting Out Nines.”

If you add up the digits of the numbers you are multiplying, and then multiply those sums, the result will have the same digital root as your final answer. If they don’t match, you know you made a mistake somewhere in your calculation!

Other Wonders of 9

Beyond the multiplication trick, 9 has other “magical” traits:

The 9s Table Pattern: If you look at the multiples of 9 ( $9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90$ ), you will notice the tens digit goes up ( $0, 1, 2, 3 . . .$ ) while the ones digit goes down ( $9, 8, 7, 6 . . .$ ).
The 142857 Mystery: If you divide 1 by 7, you get $0.142857142857 . . .$ . If you multiply 142857 by any number from 1 to 6, you get the same digits in a different order, and they all relate back to the power of 9.

The Number System is like a clock that resets every 10. Because 9 is the last single-digit number before the reset, it acts like a ‘mirror.’ When you multiply by 9, you aren’t just getting a bigger number; you are creating a pattern that reflects the structure of the number 10. Adding the digits together is like ‘unfolding’ the number to see the 9 hidden inside.”

The “142857” sequence is a classic topic in number theory that is almost always discussed alongside the number 9 in mathematical literature. It provides the “missing link” that explains why the number 9 behaves the way it does in division and fractions, which is a common follow-up question for students exploring these patterns.

The sequence $142857$ is the repeating decimal part of the fraction $\frac{1}{7}$ ( $0.142857142857 . . .$ ).

It is known as a cyclic number. When you multiply this number by $1, 2, 3, 4, 5,$ or $6$ , you get the same digits in the same order, just shifted:

$142857 \times 1 = 142857$
$142857 \times 2 = 285714$
$142857 \times 3 = 428571$
$142857 \times 4 = 571428$
$142857 \times 5 = 714285$
$142857 \times 6 = 857142$

The reason this is relevant to number 9 is that if you add the digits of these products together, they always result in 9 (or a multiple of 9). For example, $1 + 4 + 2 + 8 + 5 + 7 = 27$ , and $2 + 7 = 9$ .

Furthermore, if you take the two halves of the number ( $142$ and $857$ ) and add them together, you get $142 + 857 = 999$ . If you break it into three parts ( $14, 28, 57$ ) and add them, you get $14 + 28 + 57 = 99$ .

In mathematics, the number 9 is often called the “number of completion” in base-10 arithmetic. The 142857 sequence is the most famous example of how fractions (like $\frac{1}{7}$ ) “hide” the number 9 within their decimal expansions.

The “magic” of 9 isn’t just limited to simple multiplication tables; it is a fundamental property of how our base-10 system handles division.

It proves that the “9-pattern” is not a coincidence, but a deep mathematical rule governing how digits behave when we divide by numbers that don’t fit perfectly into 10.

In academic texts, this is often used to demonstrate Modular Arithmetic, which is the study of how numbers “wrap around” after reaching a certain value (like a clock).

2-The Quran

Now let’s analyze how the Quran is using these numbers in its structure. The use of numerical symbolism in the Quran is not merely coincidental; it often serves to enhance the thematic elements of the text and provides deeper insights into its teachings. Each number carries a unique significance that reflects various aspects of spirituality, morality, and the human experience. For instance, the repetition of certain numbers can indicate the importance of specific concepts, such as the number seven, which frequently appears and is often associated with completion and perfection. Understanding these numerical patterns can lead to a richer interpretation of the Quran, allowing people to appreciate its complexity and the intentional design behind its verses. By studying how these numbers interact within the verses, we open the door to a more profound comprehension of the messages conveyed throughout the sacred text.

In Islamic tradition and scholarship, the Verse بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful) is formally known as the Basmala (Arabic: بسملة). It is a foundational formula that serves as an invocation or a declaration of intent.

The Significance of the Basmala بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

The Basmala is considered the opening key to the Quran. With the exception of the ninth chapter (Surah At-Tawbah), every chapter of the Quran begins with this phrase.

Because of its placement at the start of almost every chapter, it is viewed by many scholars as a “master key” or a “blessing” that sanctifies the text that follows. It is often described as the “Opening Formula” or the “Invocation of the Divine Names.”

In Islamic jurisprudence and theology, the Basmala is considered a verse of the Quran in its own right when it appears at the beginning of Surah Al-Fatiha (the opening chapter), and it is considered a part of the revelation that precedes the surahs.

The Basmala is more than just a title; it is a spiritual practice. Muslims are encouraged to recite it before beginning any significant action—such as eating, writing, traveling, or starting a task—to acknowledge that the action is being performed under the guidance and mercy of the Divine.

The Name of Allah: It begins by invoking the name of the Creator, establishing the focus of the action.
The Attributes of Mercy: By including Ar-Rahman (The Most Gracious) and Ar-Rahim (The Most Merciful), it emphasizes that the primary relationship between the Creator and the creation is one of infinite compassion.
Unity: Because it appears at the start of nearly every chapter, it acts as a unifying thread that connects the entire Quran, reminding the reader of the source of the message before they engage with the specific content of any given chapter.

Basmala is the “Signature of the Quran.” Just as an artist signs their painting or an author puts their name on the cover of a book, the Basmala acts as a beautiful, repetitive reminder that every part of the Quran comes from a source of mercy. It is like a “spiritual bookmark” that helps a person pause and set a good intention before they start reading or doing something important

It is a beautiful declaration of faith and a request for God’s blessing that appears at the beginning of every chapter (Surah) in the Quran, with one notable exception: Surah At-Tawbah (also known as Surah Bara’ah).

In Islamic scholarship, there are several reasons provided for why this specific chapter does not begin with the Basmala. The most widely accepted explanation, found in classical commentaries and historical records, relates to the content and the tone of the chapter.

A Declaration of Disavowal: Surah At-Tawbah begins with a stern message regarding the breaking of treaties by certain groups who were hostile toward the early Muslim community. Because the Basmala is a message of peace, mercy, and kindness, it is considered inconsistent to begin a chapter that focuses on a formal declaration of disavowal and the consequences of broken promises with a phrase emphasizing God’s mercy.

The Concept of Mercy: Scholars, such as Ali ibn Abi Talib (a prominent companion of the Prophet Muhammad), explained that the Basmala is a source of safety and mercy. Since Surah At-Tawbah was revealed to address those who had acted deceitfully and broken their oaths, the chapter begins with a firm tone of justice rather than the invocation of mercy.

The Continuity of Surah Al-Anfal: Some scholars suggest that Surah At-Tawbah is a continuation of the previous chapter, Surah Al-Anfal. In the tradition of the Quranic compilation, if a new chapter is considered a direct extension of the themes of the one before it, the Basmala is not repeated.

In Brief “Think of the Basmala as a ‘greeting of peace’ that starts almost every chapter of the Quran. Surah At-Tawbah is different because it deals with a very serious situation involving broken promises and war. Because the chapter is about setting boundaries and correcting a wrong, it skips the greeting of mercy to show how serious the message is. It is like how we might use a very formal and firm tone when we need to address a serious problem, rather than starting with a friendly ‘hello’.”

This distinction helps readers understand that the Quran uses different tones for different purposes—sometimes focusing on compassion and other times focusing on justice and truth.

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ The Basmala consists of 19 letters. I have discussed the significance of the number 19 in the Quran elsewhere on this website. Inshallah, (if Allah Wills) I will share new findings about this number and its connection to the Quran on this page.

Each chapter of the Quran begins with the phrase “Basmalah,” except for Chapter 9, which is Surah Atawbah. In total, there are a total of 113 Basmalas before each chapter. The strange sign is that there are two Basmalahs mentioned in the Chapter Number 27. One is the at the beginning of this Surat and another is in verse number 30 of this Surat. likely compensating for the missing one in Chapter 9, making the total of Basmalas in the Quran 114. It says:

إِنَّهُ ۥ مِن سُلَيۡمَـٰنَ وَإِنَّهُ ۥ بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ (٣٠)

This Chapter is located after 19 Chapters of the Quran!!!! from Surat Al-Biraat or Chapter 9 do you see this sign?

Do you nnotice that From Chapter 9 to 27 there are exactly 19 Chapters!!!!!

We can also see that Sura Al-Tawabah is number 9 and Surat Al-Naml is Number 27 and when we add these 2 numbers of Surat Al-Naml 2 + 7 we get Number 9 too.

The strange mathematical phenomenon is that the verse بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ (Basmalah) has 19 letters, and 114 بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ (Basmalas) of the Quran can be evenly divided by 19 of the letters. This is also true for the 114 Chapters, which can be divided by 19 without any remainder. If we divide 114 by 19, we get 6. The Number when divided is perfect as there are no remainders.

And The first 5 Quranic Verses which were revealed to Prophet Mohamad are from Chapter 96 and this chapter has exactly 19 Verses!!!!!

سُوۡرَةُ العَلق Chapter Number 96
بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

ٱقۡرَأۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ (١) خَلَقَ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنَ مِنۡ عَلَقٍ (٢) ٱقۡرَأۡ وَرَبُّكَ ٱلۡأَكۡرَمُ (٣) ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَ بِٱلۡقَلَمِ (٤) عَلَّمَ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنَ مَا لَمۡ يَعۡلَمۡ (٥) كَلَّآ إِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنَ لَيَطۡغَىٰٓ (٦) أَن رَّءَاهُ ٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰٓ (٧) إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلرُّجۡعَىٰٓ (٨) أَرَءَيۡتَ ٱلَّذِى يَنۡهَىٰ (٩) عَبۡدًا إِذَا صَلَّىٰٓ (١٠) أَرَءَيۡتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى ٱلۡهُدَىٰٓ (١١) أَوۡ أَمَرَ بِٱلتَّقۡوَىٰٓ (١٢) أَرَءَيۡتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ (١٣) أَلَمۡ يَعۡلَم بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَرَىٰ (١٤) كَلَّا لَٮِٕن لَّمۡ يَنتَهِ لَنَسۡفَعَۢا بِٱلنَّاصِيَةِ (١٥) نَاصِيَةٍ۬ كَـٰذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ۬ (١٦) فَلۡيَدۡعُ نَادِيَهُ ۥ (١٧) سَنَدۡعُ ٱلزَّبَانِيَةَ (١٨) كَلَّا لَا تُطِعۡهُ وَٱسۡجُدۡ وَٱقۡتَرِب ۩ (١٩)

The historical and theological consensus among Islamic scholars, supported by primary hadith literature and academic historical analysis, identifies the first five verses of Sūrat al-ʿAlaq (Chapter 96) as the inaugural revelation received by the Prophet Muhammad.

This event occurred in the Cave of Hira, located on Jabal al-Nour near Mecca, during a period of spiritual retreat.

According to the tradition narrated by Aisha bint Abu Bakr, the Angel Gabriel (Jibril) appeared to Muhammad and commanded him to “Read” (Iqra), these 5 Verses:

Recite in the name of your Lord who created
Created man from a clinging substance.
Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous
Who taught by the pen
Taught man that which he knew not.

ٱقۡرَأۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ (١) خَلَقَ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنَ مِنۡ عَلَقٍ (٢) ٱقۡرَأۡ وَرَبُّكَ ٱلۡأَكۡرَمُ (٣) ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَ بِٱلۡقَلَمِ (٤) عَلَّمَ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنَ مَا لَمۡ يَعۡلَمۡ (٥)

These 5 Verses are made up of 76 Letters and they can be divided by number 19 Perfectly without remainders. 76/19=4.

Do you see this strange phenomenon? Number 19 is acting like a formula.

Connection with the Bible

From the Bible-Deuteronomy 18:18-19
New International Version
18 (I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put my words in his mouth. He will tell them everything I command him. 19 I myself will call to account anyone who does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name. )

This was a prophecy which came to be true. The Phrase “Like You” proves that that the prophet prophesized here is no one else but Prophet Mohamad. I have already explained this subject elsewhere on this website and also pointed the similitude of Prophet Moses and Mohamad.

Prophet M0hamad is Like Moses. Moses was a Prophet and the one to come will also be a Prophet. Prophet Moses was married and Prophet Mohamad too. Moses had a Scripture from God and Mohamad too which is Quran. This Similitude validates this Biblical Verse which says “Like You”. and today we find new Proofs that number 19 here is an indication that the phrase “my words” refer to the Quran and no any other book.

From the Bible Deutoronomy Verse Number 19!!!!!!!! again we see Allah speaks about the Quran using the words “my words” and this verse is number 19.

This is exactly what happened after Jesus. The event occurred in the Cave of Hira, located on Jabal al-Nour near Mecca, during a period of spiritual retreat.

According to the tradition narrated by Aisha bint Abu Bakr, the Angel Gabriel (Jibril) appeared to Muhammad and commanded him to “Read” (Iqra), leading to the following verses

So do you see the connection between the Quran and the Bible? through number 19.

Allahu Akbar (God is Great)

Inshaallah, more topics will be added soon….
