GOD IS ONE: 19

The basic message of the Quran is the unity of God. The unity of God is expressed by an Arabic word “Wahid” and the mathematical value of the word “Wahid” is 19. Let us explain what a mathematical value (ebced) of a word means: the Arabs were using letters for both writing and mathematical operations at the time of Prophet Muhammad. For example the letter “Alif” was equal to 1 in numerical value and the sound “Wav” was presented by the letter “v” and was equal to 6. You can see the mathematical equivalents of letters in Arabic below:

								Alif
Ya	Ta	Ha	Za	Wav	He	Da	Jeem	Ba
Qaf	Sad	Fe	Ayn	Seen	Noon	Meem	Lam	Kaf
Ghayn	Zha	Dwad	Zhal	Kha	Tha	Te	Sheen	Ra

The word “Wahid”is written with the letters wau+alif+he+de the total mathematical values of these letters are (6+1+8+4) 19 as we have mentioned above.

Wav + Alif + Ha + Da = total 6 + 1 + 8 + 4 =19

The word “Wahid” whose mathematical value is 19, is used 19 times for God in the Quran .The list of these verses is given below in the table.

Serial number	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Sura and Verse number	2-163	4-171	5-73	6-19	12-39	13-16	14-48	14-52	16-22	16-51
Serial number	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18	19
Sura and Verse number	18-110	21-108	22-34	29-46	37-4	38-65	39-4	40-16	41-6

Except for these verses, the word “Wahid” is used 7 times in the Quran, yet those uses do not refer to the names of God, but things objects like doors and eating materials.

The form “Wahiden” derived from the word “wahid” is used 5 times in the Quran, and it expresses God’ unity. However, “Wahiden” is written with an additional “alif”, and the mathematical value of this word is not 19. So only the word”Wahid” the name of God whose mathematical value is 19, is used 19 times in the Quran. The total of all the forms of word “Wahid” should not be multiples of 19 because only 4 names of God should be used as multiples. (We will examine its reason in the next chapter dealing with the 4 names of God in a symmetric table)
