Since the discovery of the miraculous mathematical code of the Quran in 1974 by Rashad Khalifa, Ph.D., there have been many claims of other codes in other books, especially the Bible, the book of the Mormons, the English Dictionary, etc. The Bible code by Michael Drosnin gained widespread popularity at first, but soon many scientists and researchers found similar codes in other books using the same system Drosnin used. Hence, it is not a miraculous code, as it can be duplicated easily by an person using any book. The inherent flaws in Drosnin's system will be discussed next. The purpose behind the Bible code was to find hidden messages/codes in the Bible and use these messages to try to prove that the Bible is the word of God. Here is a comparison of the Bible code versus the Quran code:

Important: The above article (table) is from quran-islam.org website. However, we do not share the same viewpoints as quran-islam.org. We believe and fully accept the role of Dr. Rashad Khalifa, Messenger of the Covenant who was destined to confirm what ALL the prophets were given (which includes religious duties given to Abraham) and purify Islam of corruption as decreed by GOD in Sura 3, verse 81.
The Quran code in addition to its strong relationship to the words, letters, sentences and chapters in the Quran, also exists in an intricate mathematical fashion that is totally independent of the wordings of the book and represents a whole separate miracle in its own right. Some of these miracles also depend on what is known as the geometrical value of the words and alphabets of the Quran, which is pure mathematics based on the numerical value given to the Semitic alphabets, thousands of years ago.

Before ending this article, I would like to remind the reader of a very interesting historical fact about the Bible code. The actual code of the Bible was described by Rabbi Judah in the 12th century AD in a preserved part of the Old Testament. That code was the same 19-based mathematical code we discovered in the Quran, seven centuries later. The Quran actually refers to this discovery in [46:10].
[Quran 46:10] Say, "What if it is from GOD and you disbelieved in it? A witness from the Children of Israel has borne witness to a similar phenomenon,* and he has believed, while you have turned arrogant. Surely, GOD does not guide the wicked people.
"The people (Jews) in France made it a custom to add (in the morning prayer) the words: " �Ashrei temimei derekh (blessed are those who walk the righteous way)," and our Rabbi, the Pious, of blessed memory, wrote that they were completely and utterly wrong. It is all gross falsehood, because there are only nineteen times that the Holy Name is mentioned (in that portion of the morning prayer), . . . and similarly you find the word Elohim nineteen times in the pericope of Ve-�elleh shemot . . . .
"Similarly, you find that Israel were called "sons" nineteen times, and there are many other examples. All these sets of nineteen are intricately intertwined, and they contain many secrets and esoteric meanings, which are contained in more than eight volumes. Therefore, anyone who has the fear of God in him will not listen to the words of the Frenchmen who add the verse " �Ashrei temimei derekh (blessed are those who walk in the paths of God�s Torah, for according to their additions the Holy Name is mentioned twenty times . . . and this is a great mistake. Furthermore, in this section there are 152 words, but if you add " �Ashrei temimei derekh" there are 158 words. This is nonsense, for it is a great and hidden secret why there should be 152 words . . ." (Studies In Jewish Mysticism, Joseph Dan, Association for Jewish Studies. Cambridge, Massachusetts: 1978, p 88.)
The Bible code is human-made, whereas
