1974: A Prophesy Fulfilled

1974: A Prophesy Fulfilled

The momentous discovery that “19” is the Quran’s central mathematical feature occurred in January 1974, coinciding with Zul-Hijjah 1393 A.H. The Quran was revealed in 13 B.H. (Before Hijrah). This means the number of years from the Quran’s revelation to the revelation of its miracle is 1393 + 13 = 1406, which equals 19×74. As mentioned earlier, the unveiling of this Miracle took place in January 1974, and the alignment between 19×74 lunar years and the solar year 1974 cannot be overlooked. This connection is especially remarkable considering that the number "19" is only explicitly mentioned in Surah 74.

Think about this for a moment. Solar and lunar calenders are not in unison, they are on a different time scale. For example, for every 100 solar years, 103 lunar years have elapsed.  

100 Solar Years  =  103 Lunar Years

So why is this significant?  Since the lunar and solar calendars progress at different rates, the miracle could not have been revealed in any other year except 1974. Here's why: 

IF REVEALED ONE YEAR EARLIER: 1973

Solar year 1973 corresponds to Lunar year 1392. This would mean the Quran was revealed (13 B.H. + 1392 A.H. = 1405), which is 1405 lunar years earlier. But 1405 is not a multiple of 19. Also, 19×73 = 1387 lunar years, which corresponds to solar year 1954—an incorrect year. 

                                                    1973 A.D        

Solar Year  ---------------------------ll-----------  

Lunar Year -------------------ll-------------------

                                         1374 A.H.

IF REVEALED ONE YEAR LATER: 1975

Solar year 1975 corresponds to Lunar year 1394. This would make the Quran revealed (13 B.H. + 1394 A.H. = 1407), which is 1407 lunar years earlier. But 1407 is not a multiple of 19 either. Furthermore, 19×75 = 1425 lunar years, which would correspond to the solar year 1992—again, incorrect. 

                                                              1975 A.D        

Solar Year  ---------------------------ll--------------  

Lunar Year -------------------------------------ll----

                                                                  1412 A.H. 

IT ALL COMES TOGETHER IN 1974

Solar year 1974 aligns with Lunar year 1393, exactly 1406 lunar years (13 B.H. + 1393 A.H. = 1406) from the revelation of the Quran to the discovery of its miracle. And, as we know, 1406 equals 19×74. In addition, the number 19 is only mentioned in Sura 74 of the Quran 

                                                               1974 A.D

Lunar Year ---------------------------ll--------------

                                                     1393 A.H.

Dr. Rashad Khalifa, who had no idea that his study of the Quran’s alphabet letters would lead to the discovery of this profound mathematical code, started his computerized research in 1969. By 1974, his work had uncovered a 14-century-old secret.

If the Code 19 was indeed meant to provide irrefutable proof of the Quran’s divine origin, then it’s only logical that the timing of the discovery and the identity of the discoverer would be just as purposeful. The events surrounding this discovery reveal a prophetic design that aligns perfectly with the miraculous mathematical structure.

It is an undeniable fact that the number 19 is only mentioned in Surah 74, known as "The Hidden." When you combine these two numbers, 19 and 74, it gives us 1974—the exact year the code was uncovered. Additionally, if you multiply 19×74, you get 1406, the exact number of lunar years between the Quran’s revelation and the discovery of the code. What makes this even more remarkable is that the name of the discoverer, "RShD" (meaning guidance), occurs in the Quran exactly 19 times.

The connection between these five elements is too significant to be mere coincidence:

• The mathematical code (19).

• The number of the chapter that mentions the code (74).

• The year the code was discovered (1974).

• The number of lunar years between the revelation of the Quran and the discovery of the code (19×74).

• The frequency of derivatives of the discoverer’s name, RShD, in the Quran (19).
