Courtesy of Submission.orgSura 74 and the Mathematical Miracle of Quran In sura 74 that has the code of the Mathematical Miracle of the Quran (number 19), God is talking about the human being who cannot accept the Quran as the word of God. The sura describes what such a person is to expect and what kind of code God put in His book.
Although many Muslims do claim they believe in the Quran they do not do what the Quran tell them, e.g. believing that the Quran is complete, perfect and fully detailed and they all fall in the same category of the "refusers of the Quran" ,as discussed in this sura as we see in the following verses;
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
[74:11]
Let Me deal with one I created as an individual.[74:12]
I provided him with lots of money.[74:13]
And children to behold.[74:14]
I made everything easy for him.[74:15]
Yet, he is greedy for more.[74:16]
He stubbornly refused to accept these proofs.[74:17]
I will increasingly punish him.[74:18]
For he reflected, then decided.[74:19]
Miserable is what he decided.[74:20]
Miserable indeed is what he decided.[74:22]
He frowned and whined.[74:23]
Then he turned away arrogantly.[74:24]
He said, "This is but clever magic![74:25]
"This is human made."[74:26]
I will commit him to retribution.[74:27]
What retribution![74:28]
Thorough and comprehensive.[74:29]
Obvious to all the people.[74:30]
Over it is nineteen.[74:31]
We appointed angels to be guardians of Hell, and we assigned their number (19) (1) to disturb the disbelievers, (2) to convince the Christians and Jews (that this is a divine scripture), (3) to strengthen the faith of the faithful, (4) to remove all traces of doubt from the hearts of Christians, Jews, as well as the believers, and (5) to expose those who harbor doubt in their hearts, and the disbelievers; they will say, "What did GOD mean by this allegory?" GOD thus sends astray whomever He wills, and guides whomever He wills. None knows the soldiers of your Lord except He. This is a reminder for the people.[74:32]
Absolutely, (I swear) by the moon.[74:33]
And the night as it passes.[74:34]
And the morning as it shines.[74:35]
This is one of the great miracles.--GOD BE GLORIFIED--
