*9:24 Since the odds are overwhelming against
any human being to actually believe and devote the worship to God alone
(12:103, 106), it is virtually impossible to see a whole family believe.
Thus, most believers have been faced with the question: "Either me or God
and His messenger." This question is consistently stated by spouses of
the believers, or their parents, their children, etc. Consistently, the
believers made the right choice. This is a mandatory test for all believers
(29:2).
**9:24 The Quranic, mathematical evidence
points specifically to God's Messenger of the Covenant. By adding the gematrical
value of "Rashad" (505), plus the value of "Khalifa" (725), plus the verse

*9:33 This statement, letter for letter,
occurs here and in 61:9. If we write down the gematrical value of "Rashad

by the sura and verse numbers where this
statement occurs (9:33 & 61:9), we get 505 725 9 33 61 9, a multiple
of 19. This confirms that the messenger here is Rashad Khalifa. Additionally,
the number of verses from 9:33 to 61:9 (3902)+9+33+61+9+the value of "Rashad
Khalifa" (1230) gives 5244, also a multiple of 19. The gematrical
value of 9:33 & 61:9, calculated by
adding the values of every letter, is 7858. By adding this number, plus
the number of letters in the two verses (120), plus the number of verses
from 9:33 to 61:9 (3902), plus the value of "Rashad Khalifa" (1230), we
get 858+120+3902+1230=13110=19x690. See Appendices 1, 2, and 26.

*9:37 The Sacred Months according to the
corrupted Muslim World are Rajab, Zul-Qe`dah, Zul-Hijjah, and Muharram

*9:107 Any masjid where the practices are not devoted absolutely
to God ALONE belongs to Satan, not God. For example, mentioning the names
of Abraham, Muhammad, and/or Ali in the Azan and/or the Salat prayers violates
God's commandments in 2:136, 2:285, 3:84, & 72:18. Unfortunately, this
is a common idolatrous practice throughout the corrupted Muslim world.

*9:1 & *9:127 This is the only sura
that is not prefixed with the Basmalah. This phenomenon has puzzled the
students of the Quran for 14 centuries, and many theories were advanced
to explain it. Now we realize that the conspicuous absence of the Basmalah
serves three purposes:
(1) It represents an advance divine proclamation
that the idol worshipers were destined to tamper with the Quran by adding
2 false verses (9:128-129). (2) It demonstrates one of the functions of
God's mathematical code in the Quran, namely, to guard the Quran against
any alteration. (3) It provides additional miraculous features of the Quran's
code.
Due to their extraordinary importance,
the details are given in Appendices
24 and 29.
One immediate observation is that the number
of occurrences of the word "God" at the end of Sura 9 is 1273 (19x67).
If the two false verses 128 & 129 are included, this phenomenon--and
many more--will vanish.
