1In The Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful The Fall of Israel in 2022 AD A Prophecy Or Numerical Coincidence Bassam Nihad Jarrar Biqaa’ Modern Library, Lebanon First Edition 1415 AH/1995 Second Edition 1417 H/1996 These are just observations Hoping that we rethink our approach to the study oI history. Is there a law in the material world governing history according to comprehensible mathematical Iormulae??!! 2 Apology The idea oI this study matured shortly beIore the deportation oI a number oI Islamic activists, including myselI, by Israel on 17 December 1992. However, I was able to write it down in this brieI book while in exile near the village oI Marj Ezzuhoor in South Lebanon. Under those conditions I was unable to go through the Iormalities oI consulting sources and reIerences beyond those available in that desolate place. ;-=,-ا Q-=,-ا =ا ;~- In The Name oI Allah, Most Gracious, Most MerciIul َ · ْ»ُ -ْ'َ -َ أ ْنِ إَ و ْ»ُ ´ِ -ُ --َ 'ِ ' ْ»ُ --َ -ْ =َ أ ْ»ُ --َ -ْ =َ أ ْنِ إ ْ»ُ ´َ ه,ُ =ُ و ْاوُ ؤ,ُ -َ ,ِ ' ِ ةَ ¸ِ =`ا ُ -ْ=َ و ء'َ = اَ ذِ 'َ · 'َ +َ ' اً ¸,ِ -ْ -َ - ْاْ,َ 'َ = 'َ - ْاوُ ¸ -َ -ُ ,ِ 'َ و ٍ ة´ ¸َ - َ ل´ وَ أ ُ -,ُ 'َ =َ د 'َ -َ آ َ -ِ =ْ -َ -ْ 'ا ْا,ُ 'ُ =ْ-َ ,ِ 'َ و |If you do good, you do good for your own selves, and if you do evil, it is for yours (your selves).

God has willed to reveal some oI the unseen to His servants Ior certain reasons. Thus came the prophecies brought by Prophets and apostles to Iurnish evidence oI the truth oI their prophecies or messages and to show God’s omniscience so that people would come to realize some oI the secrets oI Iate. When God willed to complete the messages by sending the Prophet Muhammad صلى الل- علي- وسلم , He retained veritable visions which penetrate the unseen so that people would come to know that which they Iailed to conceive oI, namely, that God comprehends all things even beIore they exist and to make humans realize that their Iailure to perceive things does not negate their existence. Examples oI prophecies are abundant in the Qur’an and Sunna, the Prophetic literature oI Prophet Muhammad صلى الل- علي- وسلم . For example in the Qur’an one reads: ُ مو´ ¸'ا ِ -َ -ِ 'ُ = َ ن,ُ -ِ 'ْ ·َ ,َ - ْ»ِ +ِ -َ 'َ = ِ -ْ ·َ - ¸ - »ُ هَ و ِ ضْرَ 'ْ 'ا _َ -ْدَ أ ¸ِ · ا ُ حَ ¸ْ -َ , ٍ -ِ -َ -ْ,َ ,َ و ُ -ْ ·َ - ¸ِ -َ و ُ .ْ -َ · ¸ِ - ُ ¸ْ-َ 'ْ 'ا ِ ª´ 'ِ ' َ ¸,ِ -ِ - ِ _ْ -ِ - ¸ِ ·َ ن,ُ -ِ -ْ,ُ -ْ ' ُ »,ِ =´ ¸'ا ُ ¸,ِ ¸َ ·ْ 'ا َ ,ُ هَ و ُ ء'َ -َ , ¸َ - ُ ¸ُ --َ , ِ ª´''ا ِ ¸ْ -َ -ِ - |The Romans have been defeated in a land close by: But they even after this defeat of theirs, will soon be victorious within a few years - With Allah is the command of the former and 5 the latter. On that Day shall the believers rejoice, with Allah’s help to victory…| (30: 2-5) In another chapter oI the Qur’an comes the verse: ´ ''ا ء'َ - نِ إ َ ماَ ¸َ =ْ 'ا َ -ِ =ْ -َ -ْ 'ا ´ ¸ُ 'ُ =ْ-َ -َ ' ¸َ =ْ ''ِ - 'َ ,ْؤ´ ¸'ا ُ ªَ ',ُ -َ ر ُ ª´ ''ا َ قَ -َ - ْ-َ -َ ' َ¸,ِ - 'َ =ُ - َ ¸,ِ -ِ -' ُ ª 'ً -,ِ ¸َ · 'ً =ْ -َ · َ =ِ 'َ ذ ِ نوُ د ¸ِ - َ .َ ·َ =َ · ا,ُ -َ 'ْ ·َ - ْ»َ ' 'َ - َ »ِ 'َ ·َ · َ ن,ُ ·'َ =َ - 'َ ' َ ¸,ِ ¸ -َ -ُ -َ و ْ»ُ ´َ -وُ ؤُ ر |Truly did Allah fulfil the vision of His Messenger: Ye shall enter the sacred Mosque, if Allah wills, with minds secure, heads shaved, hair cut short, and without fear. For He knew what Ye knew not, and He granted, besides this, a speedy victory.| (48:27) In the Prophetic literature is a Prophetic saying, which says: “The Hour will not come until Muslims Iight the Jews….” There are numerous sayings on this theme. It is not the intention oI this book to discuss at length the wisdom behind Ioretelling the Iuture and the role it plays in people’s lives. Yet some maintain that prophecies lead to Iatalism and disempowerment. Though this view makes sense at the reasoning level it is Iar Irom reality because prophecies have proven to boost the morale, remove despair Irom hearts, and motivate people into action. The Biography oI the Prophet’s companions is the best testimony to this claim. Did the Prophet’s companions slacken Irom conquering Persia knowing Irom Muhammad’s صلى الل- علي- وسلم prophecy that they would capture it Ior sure? Muslims are not to desist Irom duty just because their ultimate goal is that Allah be well pleased with them in the Iirst place. 6 As to the results, a Muslim hopes to achieve these, but they are not his Iinal goal. Suppose I slackened because oI knowing the result that would obtain, what could I reap iI by doing so I have lost my soul?! This liIe is a liIe oI trial and temptation and not an everlasting abode Ior requital. 'ً ·َ -َ = ء'´ - »ُ ه'َ -ْ ,َ -ْ -َ 'َ ' ِ ªَ -,ِ ¸´ ='ا _َ 'َ = ا,ُ-'َ -َ -ْ -ا ِ ,´ 'َ أَ و اً -َ ·َ - 'ً -اَ -َ = ُ ªْ ´ُ 'ْ -َ , ِ ª -َ ر ِ ¸ْ آِ ذ ¸َ = ْضِ ¸ْ·ُ , ¸َ -َ و ِ ª,ِ · ْ»ُ +َ -ِ -ْ -َ -ِ ' |If they (the pagans) had only remained on the (right) Way, We should certainly have bestowed on them rain in abundance that We might test them thereby…| (72:16-17). Ten thousand pagans besieged Medina until their “hearts gaped up to their throats” and the Companions “imagined various vain thoughts.” Under such conditions the glad tidings came Irom Allah, so Prophet Mohammad صلى الل- علي- وسلم announced: “…Allahu Akbar, I have been given Kisra's (King oI Persia) keys… Allahu Akbar, I have been given Caesar’s (Roman Emperor) keys." We must not let people come to the point oI absolute despair: َ نوُ ¸ِ ·'َ ´ْ 'ا ُ مْ,َ -ْ 'ا ´ `ِ إ ِ ªّ ''ا ِ حْو´ ر ¸ِ - ُ سَ 'ْ ,َ , َ ` ُ ª´ -ِ إ ِ ªّ ''ا ِ حْو´ ر ¸ِ - ْا,ُ -َ 'ْ ,َ - َ `َ و |No one despairs of Allah’s soothing Mercy except those who have no faith.| (12: 87). Humans must not oscillate between Iear and hope, Ior they are neither in despair nor Ieeling over-conIident. Today people have become so despondent that they automatically respond with the catchphrase “What’s the alternative?!” Against such a reality we ought to careIully improve their morale to such an extent that they will not be inclined towards sorcery and Iortune telling because Islam is aware against all kinds oI divination. 7 In this book we try to interpret the Qur’anic prophecy mentioned in Sura 17 according to the surIace structure oI the text and in conIormity with historical reality. We then supplement it with a new approach based on the world oI numbers which we will call “mathematical interpretation” or “numerical interpretation”. I believe that numbers will surprise the reader as they did me when they led me down an unexpected path. That path was signposted 19 and the reader will Iind that number 19 is the basis oI this interpretation. The obvious question is: Why number 19?! It is a long story. Talk oI number 19 and the debate and doubts it has raised requires some detail which I have delineated in my book The Miracle of Nineteen between the Backwardness of Muslims and the Deviations of Pretenders, the Iirst edition oI which appeared in 1991. Then, with Allah’s help, I was able to produce the second edition in Marj Ezzuhoor. It is expected that the book will be published by Dar EnnaIa’es, Beirut soon. In that work, aIter discussing the essence oI the research oI Rashad KhaliIa and the part oI his thinking that was true, I introduced the reader to what is right and what is wrong in the theme oI number 19 in the Holy Qur’an. The matter is inductive and mathematical, not subject to hearsay or to the whims oI “those in whose hearts is perversity”, including the Bahais and others. There is a spectacular mathematical conIiguration and a consequential miracle. No one can separate us Irom seeing what God wills to disclose oI His precious Book. |Allah has decreed that it is I and My messengers who must prevail.| (58:21) I did my best to leave this trust to the custody oI Muslim scholars 8 because I know this matter is beyond the capacity oI an individual or even a group. I have great hope that Iirm-willed people will shoulder the responsibility so that Muslims and all humanity will enjoy the blessing. Those who have read the book devoted to number 19 will clearly perceive that the historical equation in this book is based on number 19. To those who have not read the book I say that there is an astonishing mathematical structure - connected to the Qur’anic words and letters - based on number 19. There is also evidence to show that this number is the Ioundation oI astronomy. You will be surprised to discover in this booklet that this number is also a historical law. This book comprises two chapters. The Iirst chapter is an interpretation oI the Qur’anic prophecy in Sura 17 pertaining to the decline oI the state oI Israel in the blessed land in the past and, signiIicantly, in the Iuture. Chapter 2 is a numerical interpretation oI this prophecy along the lines oI the interpretation in Chapter 1, with the addition oI mathematical evidence. This is a new approach, which we hope to serve as a key to Iurther blessings. Bassam Jarrar 5 August 1993 Marj Ezzuhoor-South Lebanon 9 CHAPTER ONE One year beIore the Hijra (means migration) oI the Prophet Muhammad صلى الل- علي- وسلم Irom the city oI Mecca to the city oI Medina, the event oI the Israa and Mi’raj occurred. In this journey oI one night , Prophet Muhammad صلى الل- علي- وسلم visited the Holy Land and Al-Aqsa Mosque |…whose precincts God has blessed|. He set oII Irom |…that at Bakka (Mecca) full of blessing…| to that |whose precincts We did bless.| It was a journey Irom |the first house of worship appointed for men| to the |second house of worship appointed for men.| At the time oI this journey, Jerusalem was under the Romans and Al-Aqsa mosque was nothing but ancient deserted ruins. Despite its condition at that time, Al-Aqsa retained its special status as a mosque, a status that will remain until the Day oI Judgment. During that time, the Jews had no signiIicant existence in Mecca nor had they had any existence in Jerusalem since 135 AD. When the Roman emperor Titus destroyed their second temple, plowed its ground, chased away the Jews and dispersed them throughout the Roman Empire, he had prohibited their return to, or residence in, Jerusalem. At the time oI the Apostle’s night 10 journey, it had been 500 years since these events, a period long enough to make people Iorget that the Jews had ever lived in the blessed land. AIter the event oI Israa, the opening verses oI Sura 17 (Iormally called Sura Israa, but also known as Sura Bani Israel) were revealed. What is noticeable is that the entire event oI Israa and Mi’raj is contained in a single verse: |Glory to God Who took His servant for a journey by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque whose precincts We did bless, in order that We might show him some signs: for He is the One who heareth and seeth all things.| This is Iollowed by: |We gave Moses the Book and We made it a Guide to the Israelites, ¡commanding]: “Take not other than Me as Disposer of your affairs.”.. And We gave clear warning to the Israelites in the Book ¡Torah], that twice would they do mischief on the earth...When the first of the warnings came to pass...When the second of the warnings came to pass.... | What is the relationship between Moses and the Israelites, and this incident and that visit?! What is the relationship between the prophecy that came in the Torah nearly 1800 years beIore and this event?! Does anyone expect that the early interpreters had ever envisioned a return oI a state Ior the Jews in the blessed land?! The Ummayad, the Abbasid, and the Ottoman empires were superpowers in their own respective times. Which interpreter would suspect that the second Jewish state had not yet come?! Even iI it had occurred to him, would he have been emotionally 11 prepared to record such a prophecy which predicted the Iall oI Jerusalem into the hands oI those alienated, homeless and oppressed Jews?! Thus we Iind the early commentators on the Qur’anic text indicate that both aspects oI the prophecy oI the Torah reIerred to in the above verses had already taken place, centuries beIore Islam. people oI today can understand why those interpreters adopted that approach, but at the same time we are aware oI its weakness and its deviance Irom the truth. Hence, we Iind that many contemporary interpreters maintain that the second state is that oI 1948. In the end, the most credible interpreter oI authentic prophecies is reality because a truthIul prophecy must come true in reality. ThereIore, we have to rely on history as much as possible to reach an understanding in line with the surIace structure oI the Qur’anic text so as to avoid resorting to the type oI interpretation reIerred to by early and contemporary commentators. Here we do not give Iull credibility to history because it is known to us that conjecture is the rule in history, but we do not have the alternative that makes our interpretation closer to the truth; we are trying to approximate the truth. God decreed in the Torah that the Israelites would enter the blessed land oI Palestine and establish their own state. They will then indulge in corruption so great that Allah will punish them Ior it by sending unto them another people who will invade their homeland, their corruption will crop up again, Allah will send unto them the same people who will kill and destroy whatever Iell under their power. Here is an illustration oI that: 12 When Moses died, the Israelites entered the Holy Land, led by their new leader Joshua Bin Noon: ¸ِ -´ 'ا َ ªَ -´ -َ -ُ -'ا َ ضْرَ `ا ا,ُ 'ُ =ْدا ِ مْ,َ · 'َ , ِ ر'َ -ْدَ أ _َ 'َ = او´ -َ -ْ¸َ - َ `َ و ْ»ُ ´َ ' ُ ªّ ''ا َ -َ -َآَ ¸,ِ ¸ِ -'َ = ا,ُ -ِ 'َ --َ -َ · ْ»ُ آ |O my people! Enter the Holy Land, which Allah hath assigned unto you, …| (Qur’an 5: 21). Thereby the promise oI entry and establishing a community oI the people oI Israel was IulIilled. The Prophet–King David conquered Jerusalem and established a Kingdom. Hence, we Iind the First Book of Kings oI Old Testament opens with the description oI David’s old age and death. Although the Old Testament ascribed to King David deeds inappropriate to his rank, it nevertheless described him as a righteous person, contrary to his son and successor Solomon (peace be upon him). It is stated in First Book of Kings in the Bible that: ¡ For when Solomon was old, his wives turned his heart away after other gods; and his heart was not wholly devoted to the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father had been. For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians and after Milcom the detestable idol of the Ammonites. Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, and did not follow the LORD fully, as David his father had done. ] (Kings 11 : 4-6) Although we, as Muslims, agree with the scribes oI the Old Testament that David indeed had a son called Solomon who had great wisdom and became a king aIter his Iather’s death, yet we have a diIIerent perception oI him. His image is as described in the Holy Qur’an: ٌبا´ وَ أ ُ ª´ -ِ إ ُ -ْ -َ ·ْ 'ا َ »ْ ·ِ - َ ن'َ -ْ ,َ 'ُ - َ دوُ واَ -ِ ' 'َ -ْ -َ هَ وَ و |To David We 13 gave Solomon, how excellent in Our service ever did he turn.| (Quran 38: 30) One, thereIore, can conclude that corruption in the Iirst Kingdom started to appear aIter Solomon’s death, when the Prophetic kingdom was divided into two clashing states. Corruption and moral degradation spread. In the prologue to the First Book oI Kings |2| it is stated: “The First Book of Kings indicates, in a special way, the drastic effect of the social corruption on the spiritual life of the nation.” Following the death oI King Solomon in 935 BC, ten oI the eleven tribes oI the Israelites rebelled and appointed Jeraboam (Yarba’am Bin Nabat) as a king oI Israel in the north. Only one tribe, Judah (Yahotha), remained under the rule oI Rahaboam (Rahba’am), Solomon’s son. Thus, emerged the Kingdom oI Israel in the north and the Kingdom oI Judah (Yahotha) in the south with Jerusalem as its capital. Corruption spread throughout the two kingdoms and the land was invaded by enemies who raided the two kingdoms in waves oI attacks started by the Egyptians; the Assyrians took the lead on themselves and so did the Babylonians who came Irom the Euphrates area. It is stated in the introduction to the Second Book oI Kings: “… In 722 BC, the Assyrians attacked the Northern Kingdom oI Israel and destroyed it; and in 586 BC, the Babylonian Army marched onto the Kingdom oI Judah (Yahotha) in the South and annihilated it...and in this book, we see how God used the Assyrians and the Babylonians to punish the deviated and corrupt people oI the two kingdoms. It is important to note here that a sinIul deed results in a humiliating punishment Ior the 14 nation and on the contrary, a righteous deed results in God blessings. The Second Book oI Kings conIirms that God does not punish a people beIore giving them guidance and warnings. So, He sent his Prophets Iirst to guide the nations and to give them ample warnings oI the Lord’s punishment.” It can be noticed that the Northern Kingdom contained most oI the nation (10 tribes) and they were responsible Ior the rupture oI Solomon’s state and Ior the disunity in the integrated nation. That is why God punished them by destroying the northern Kingdom 136 years beIore the southern Kingdom oI Judah (Yahotha). AIter the extinction oI the two states, the Israelites tried in vain to restore the Iormer glory oI their vanished kingdoms. Some oI their revolts against their enemies did not go beyond a limited autonomy and or a selI-rule under the Roman Empire. ThereIore, we Iind the history books agree that the disappearance oI the Southern Kingdom oI Judah (Yahotha) marks the complete vanishing oI the last independent Jewish state. This state was not reborn Ior the second time until 1948 AD. The prophecy relating to the rise and Iall oI the state oI Israel was Iirst revealed in the Torah. WHERE? Then, aIter nearly 1800 years, it was revealed again in the Qur’an. What is the reason Ior this second revelation? The reIerence to the prophecy in the Holy Qur’an comes in Sura 17, which is the same chapter that talks about the event oI Israa and Mi’raj. With this in mind, one would argue: ‘Had the prophecy been completely IulIilled beIore Islam, then it would have been diIIicult to understand its association in the Qur’an with the journey oI Israa and Mi’raj.’ 15 However, an alternative conclusion is that the Iirst part oI the prophecy had taken place beIore Islam - and this is indeed what happened in reality- and the second part will take place in the Iuture time oI Muslims. This is also understandable especially when we are witnessing the second existence oI a powerIul Israeli state (the second rise). The Qur’an Confirms the Prophecy اً ¸,ِ -َ آ ا´ ,ُ 'ُ = ´ ¸ُ 'ْ ·َ -َ 'َ و ِ ¸ْ ,َ -´ ¸َ - ِ ضْرَ `ا ¸ِ· ´ نُ -ِ -ْ -ُ -َ ' ِ ب'َ -ِ ´ْ 'ا ¸ِ · َ .,ِ -اَ ¸ْ -ِ إ ¸ِ -َ - _َ'ِ إ 'َ -ْ ,َ -َ ·َ و َ و ِ ر'َ , -'ا َ لَ `ِ = ْا,ُ -'َ =َ · ٍ -,ِ -َ - ٍ سْ'َ - ¸ِ 'ْوُ أ 'َ -´ ' اً د'َ -ِ = ْ»ُ ´ْ ,َ 'َ = 'َ -ْ `َ ·َ - 'َ -ُ ه`وُ أ ُ -ْ =َ و ء'َ = اَ ذِ 'َ · َ ن'َ آ 'ً ',ُ ·ْ -´ - اً -ْ =َ و |And We decreed for the Israelites in the Book that they would commit corruption (mischief) on Earth twice and reach high levels of haughtiness. When Promise of the first (of warnings) was due, We sent against you Our servants of great might: they entered the very inmost part of your homes (lands), and it was a warning fulfilled.] (Qur’an 17: 4 - 5) |And We decreed for the Israelites...|: ReIerence here is made to Israel, the name given to Prophet Yaqoub (Jacob) as indicated in the Holy Qur’an (chapters 3, verse 93 and chapter 19, verse 58). The Children oI Prophet Israel were 12 sons, Irom whom descended the 12 known tribes oI the Semitic people oI the people oI Israel. The decree here is Ior all oI them, as a community as inIerred Irom the phrase |for the Israelites| and Irom the phrase |in the Book| i.e. the Torah. 16 This interpretation is conIirmed by the second verse oI the same chapter: |We gave Moses the Book and made it a guide to the Israelites...|. It is a well-known Iact that the Torah was revealed Ior the Israelites since every messenger was sent to his own people except Prophet Muhammad صلى الل- علي- وسلم who was sent to all mankind. |that they would commit corruption (mischief) on Earth ...|: it is clear that the speech is about the Iuture, and since the book is the Torah, the prophecy is about the Iuture aIter the time oI Torah and not aIter the revelation oI the Holy Qur’an. The prophecy came in the Qur’an in the Iuture Iorm such as the word oI Allah (s.w.t.) spoken by Adam’s son addressing his brother: |Be sure I will slay thee. | |On Earth|: mischieI in part oI the Earth is mischieI on the Earth, Corruption is perversity oI the character or nature oI things, deviation Irom the natural or normal Iunction they were created to perIorm. Corruption oI diIIerent degrees: small or large scale. |…and reach high levels of haughtiness ...|: mischieI resulting Irom elation and arrogance or Irom weakness and servility. The corruption Ioretold results Irom elation as can be explained by: ْ»ُ هء'َ -ْ -َ أ ُ _ -َ -ُ , ْ»ُ +ْ - - ً ªَ -ِ -'َ = ُ -ِ ·ْ-َ -ْ -َ , 'ً ·َ ,ِ - 'َ +َ 'ْ هَ أ َ .َ ·َ =َ و ِ ضْرَ 'ْ 'ا ¸ِ · 'َ'َ = َ نْ,َ =ْ¸ِ · ´ نِ إ َ ¸,ِ -ِ -ْ -ُ -ْ 'ا َ ¸ِ - َ ن'َ آ ُ ª´ -ِ إ ْ»ُ هء'َ -ِ - ¸ِ ,ْ =َ -ْ -َ ,َ و | Pharaoh elated himself in the land and divided its people into sections depressing a group among them: their sons he slew, but he kept alive their females: for he was indeed an evil-doer| (Quran 28: 4). Such corruption oI the society oI the people oI Israel will come as a result oI elation, insolence, haughtiness and criminality. 17 |Twice| conIirms that mischieI is a societal type in a speciIic time and place, while individual mischieI happens all the time. |... When Promise of the first )of warnings was due...|: II mischieI is done by the society oI the people oI Israel in the blessed land, and iI the prophecy is IulIilled by this occurrence, then the awaited Divine punishment will be. |... We sent against you Our servants...|: Some contemporary interpreters went on to say that those reIerred to here are believers as indicated by the Allah’s words: |... Our servants...|, describing them as servant oI the Almighty God. This in turn, lead those commentators to conclude that the Iirst oI the prophecies was IulIilled when the Jews were expelled Irom the city oI Medina in the days oI the Prophet Muhammad صلى الل- علي- وسلم , and thereaIter, the entry to Jerusalem by the second KhaliIa (Omar bin Al-Khatab). This, however, is Iar- Ietched when considering the surIace structure oI the Qur’anic text, because the abundant available evidence suggests |our servants| could mean both believers and non-believers. Here is an illustration oI the matter: 1. The expression |... Our servants...| did not appear in the entire Qur’an except in this verse. OI the early Qur’anic commentators, the language experts did not say that |... Our servants...| means believers. 2. II it is true (as narrated by Ibn Sa’d in his book Al-Tabaqat) that Omar bin Al-Khatab sent a letter to the Muslim army beIore they leIt Ior battle, then this document Iurnishes the evidence because it implies that the companions oI the Prophet were capable oI understanding the verse. In his letter, Omar stated: 18 “...And do not say that our enemy is more devious than us, thereIore they will not triumph over us, even iI we do wrong. A people may indeed be deIeated by an enemy more devious than them, as was the case with the Israelites when the un-believing Magi (Magians or Zoroasterians) entered the very inmost part oI their homes, and it was a warning IulIilled.” Notice here how Omar bin Al-Khatab described the Magi as non-believers as he cited the Iirst oI the warnings. 3. We read the Iollowing verses in the Holy Qur’an: |... Doth God warn off His servants: ”O My servants! Then fear Me!| (Quran 39:16) . |... It is thou that wilt judge between Thy servants...| (Quran 39: 46) . |... We guide such of Our Servants as We will...| (Quran 42:42). |... For God is Assuredly with respect to His servants, well acquainted and fully observant...| (Quran 35:31). |... Was it Ye who led these My servants astray, or did they stray from the path themselves...| (Quran 25:17). Note that the words |'-د'-- ،كد'-- ،يد'-- ،-د'--| in the preceding verses show that the intended audience is all mankind and not only the believer. 4. The speciIic reIerence to |Our servants| in Sura Israa (17: 5) is meant to highlight their Iorthcoming characteristic |given to 19 terrible warfare|. II one Ior example says: “My son is clever” then the topic oI this sentence is son, while iI one says, “A son oI mine is clever”, the topic shiIts to his intelligence. 5. Another piece oI evidence that |Our servants| reIers to both believers and non-believers alike can be Iound in one oI the Prophet Muhammad’s صلى الل- علي- وسلم sayings narrated in Saheeh Muslim's Book oI Fitan regarding Gog and Magog: “... and while he was as such, God revealed to Jesus (peace be upon him): I have let out servants of mine ( Gog and Magog) that no one has the ability to Iight them.” Note the phrase “servants of mine” |... Our servants given to terrible warfare...|: No one should assume that this attribute is conIined to Muslims as indicated in |... Ye shall be summoned [to fight] against a people given to vehement war: then shall Ye fight or they shall submit...| (Quran 38:16). |... They entered the very inmost part of your homes...|: this part oI the verse describes the method oI the invaders’ entry into the homes oI the people oI Israel. The Arabic word “ا,-'=· - Ia’jaasoo“ is used here to describe the intensity oI the destruction resulting Irom their entry into the homes oI the Israelites. This, as we explained earlier, was a punishment Ior their corruption. Although it is not clear as to the exact nature oI the destruction resulting Irom the entry oI the invaders, one can imagine what an invading people with intense Iighting capability and with no Iaith or mercy in their hearts would do to their victims. 20 As mentioned earlier, the corruption began when the Kingdom oI the Israelites split into two main kingdoms, Iollowing the death oI King Solomon in the year 935 BC. This was Iollowed by the invasion oI the Egyptians, then the Assyrians then the Babylonians. And when the scale oI corruption increased, so did the intensity oI the enemies’ destruction until the Northern kingdom (called Israel) was destroyed by the Assyrians completely in the year 722 BC. Thereby, ten oI the twelve Jewish tribes were either killed or taken as slaves. The enemies' skirmishes and attacks continued against the Southern Kingdom (called Judah) despite some corrective measures especially those introduced by Yoshia (1osiah) in the year 621 BC |6| until it was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BC. This marked the end oI the last independent kingdom oI the Israelites. Those who study history notice the Iollowing: 1. Non-believers carried out back and Iorth skirmishes and attacks: the Egyptians, Assyrians and the Babylonians. Thus we note the accuracy oI Qur’anic expression using an indeIinite noun: اد'-=“servants” which is a general term that may include those who don’t believe in God (Kafirs). 2. The three attacking nations were, as described in the Qur’an, strong and immensely powerIul as testiIied by many historical narratives. 3. The armies oI the attacking nations entered the very innermost parts oI the homes oI the people oI Israel, without disrupting the inIrastructure oI their society. (In Iact, they kept 21 some oI the Jewish kings on their thrones). The northern kingdom was destroyed during the reign oI King Hoshea in 722 BC. He was the 19th king oI the Northern Kingdom. The southern kingdom, Judah (Yahotha), on the other hand, was destroyed in the year 586 BC, during the reign oI King Zedekiah, the 19th king oI Judah. The destruction oI the southern kingdom marked the end oI the enemies’ movement through the land. Hence, we note the accuracy oI the Qur’anic description oI the method and nature oI the enemy’s entry: |... they entered the very inmost part of your homes...| 4. The scale oI corruption increased in the Northern and Southern kingdoms until it reached its peak in 722 BC and 586 BC respectively. This shows the accuracy oI the Qur’anic phraseology ِ ¸ْ ,َ -´ ¸َ - ِ ضْرَ `ا ¸ِ · ´ نُ -ِ -ْ -ُ -َ ' ِ ب'َ -ِ ´ْ 'ا ¸ِ · َ .,ِ -اَ ¸ْ -ِ إ ¸ِ -َ - _َ 'ِ إ 'َ -ْ ,َ -َ ·َ و اً ¸,ِ -َ آ ا´ ,ُ 'ُ = ´ ¸ُ 'ْ ·َ -َ 'َ و |And We gave clear warnings to the Israelites in the Book that twice would they do mischief on the earth and be elated with mighty arrogance.| This was accompanied by an increase in the intensity oI enemies’ attack and in the scale oI punishment until the two kingdoms disappeared. Again, the Qur’anic description oI such corruption and punishments is amazingly accurate. |And it was a warning [completely] fulfilled|: This is a promise oI punishment Irom God, which must be IulIilled. The Iirst prophecy had been accomplished Iollowing the disappearance oI the two kingdoms, but some oI the Jews returned to the blessed land, in stages, during the reign oI King Cyrus oI Persia who deliberately did not build a state Ior them. Then came the Greek occupation in 333BC, then the Nabateans 22 and the Romans whose occupation oI the blessed land lasted until 636 AD, the year in which Caliph Omar ibn El-Khattab conquered Jerusalem. The Jews returning Irom the Diaspora made several attempts to achieve independence or selI-rule. Some oI these attempts succeeded Ior short periods until the Jews were crushed by Titus, the son oI the Roman emperor Vespasian, in the year 70 AD, and later aIter the last rebellion in 135 AD. Some scholars Iind the matter obscure and hold the view that the second mischieI was in the years 70 AD and 135 AD because the Iirst temple was destroyed in 586 BC and the second temple was destroyed in 70 AD and its remains were entirely obliterated in 135 AD. What is the Second Prophecy? By considering the above events, some historians concluded that the second prophesy had already taken place in the year 70 AD or 135 AD as a result oI the second destruction oI the temple. The Iirst time the temple was destroyed was in 586 BC. Their conclusion was clearly based on linking the destruction oI the temple with the prophecies. In any case, by reIerring to the Qur’anic text, we can detect a disambiguating deIinition oI the second mischieI as Iollows: The Arabic word »` ‘thumma’, which appears in the Arabic text oI this verse, implies an undeIined time lapse: one year…decades…millennia… no one knows exactly. 23 In Chapter 17 oI the Quran, verse 6 says: ْ»ِ +ْ ,َ 'َ = َ ة´ ¸َ ´ْ 'ا ُ »ُ ´َ ' 'َ -ْدَ دَ ر ´ »ُ ` ُ آ'َ -ْ 'َ ·َ =َ و َ ¸,ِ -َ -َ و ٍ لاَ ,ْ -َ 'ِ - »ُ آ'َ -ْدَ -ْ -َ أَواً ¸,ِ -َ - َ ¸َ `ْ آَ أ ْ» ¡Then we turned to you the power to attack them and supplied you with money (wealth) and sons (or children) and we made you more in manpower (number of individuals/soldiers)] This indicates that the Jews will regain power over whoever destroyed their Iirst independent state. This has not happened in history except in 1948 AD iI we consider that the Jews regained power over those who destroyed their Iirst |independent| state. The ones who moved back and Iorth through |the land in the aItermath oI| the Iirst mischieI were the Egyptian, the Assyrians and the Babylonians, but total destruction was at the hands oI the Assyrians and the Babylonians. By looking into the history oI the Jews, both past and present, one can conclude that this return oI power had indeed taken place (Ior real) in 1948 AD when the current state oI Israel was declared. The people over whom the Jews regained power are the present-day Arabs, whose ancestors: the Egyptians, the Assyrians and Babylonians were responsible Ior the destruction oI the Iirst kingdom oI the Israelites. It is worth mentioning at this point that the Assyrians and the Babylonians could have been Arab tribes that migrated Irom the Arabian Peninsula to the Euphrates river area and later spread throughout until they gained control over what is now known as Iraq and Greater Syria. What is more certain is that hundreds oI years later, aIter Prophet Mohammad صلى الل- علي- وسلم started preaching Islam and Islam stated to spread beyond the Arabian Peninsula, most oI the descendants oI the Assyrians and Babylonians embraced Islam and became Arab Muslims. The same happened with the people oI Egypt. 24 The Greeks and the Romans, on the other hand, had no signiIicant contribution to the destruction oI the Jewish kingdom, nor had the Jews ever gained control over the Greeks or Romans. Nor were the Jews more numerous in manpower. This is not to say that there were no conIrontations between the Jews and these two powers, but such a conIlict had never resulted in either a destruction oI a Jewish independent state nor the rise oI a Jewish kingdom that gained dominance over the Greeks or the Romans. In some cases, however, the Jews had gained limited selI-rule, but Ior a short period oI time only. For a state to be dominant and powerIul, it naturally needs two main resources: money and men, and Ior these two resources to be directed towards building a well-equipped and trained army. This is indeed what is reIerred to in the remaining part oI the above verse. The resource oI Iinancial wealth is evident ever since the modern Jewish State was declared with the help oI many western powers. The state oI Israel is still one oI largest recipient oI Iinancial and technical aids Irom the West, a common knowledge to all and something that does not need elaboration. The other element oI this power is the supply oI necessary human resources. Notice the Qur’anic verse reIers to |sons| or men oI youthIul age, which is needed Ior the building oI a strong Iighting army. That is not to say women will not be part oI such an army, but their contribution will not to signiIicant level as the men. 25 As a matter oI Iact, I have read in a book titled "The Victims of the Holocaust State Their Accusation", which is written by a number oI Jewish scholars, that Hitler’s government oIIered to Iree 30,000 Jewish prisoners iI the Jewish Agency pays $50,000. The Agency reIused to do this despite its knowledge that the prisoners would be killed. The authors oI the book explain that the reason Ior such a reIusal is due to the Iact that the prisoners in question were mostly women, children and elderly people not Iit Ior Iighting in Palestine. The Agency, they say, was keen on releasing and transIerring, to Palestine, young men capable oI carrying arms and ready to join the army. | ا¸,-- ¸`آا »آ'-'·= و | which means we made you more numerous in man-power. In this Quranic verse, اً ¸,ِ -َ - reIers to a mobilized Iorce ready to enter the battleIield. Despite the Iact that the Arabs were oI a larger number than the Jews in 1948, the Jews had mobilized an army oI 67,000 strong while the Arabs had only 20,000, which is less than a third oI the Jewish Iorces. There are six main elements that led to the creation and rise oI the Jewish State (the latter in the prophecy). All oI these are mentioned in the Qur’an. Although the Qur’anic revelation was made more than 1400 years ago, one will be astonished to see these elements are indeed the same elements that helped the creation oI today's Jewish state, Israel. 1. The Jews building a powerIul state that dominates over those responsible Ior the destruction oI their Iirst kingdom (the Arabs). This second state had never existed in the history oI the Jews until 1948. 26 2. The Jewish State receives a huge and continuous Iinancial aid that helps it to exist and rise in power. This is indeed what we see clearly nowadays and in such a way that no other independent state the world over enjoys a similar position. 3. The Jewish State receives a huge number oI Jewish immigrants every year, mostly oI youthIul age that is capable oI building and deIending the state oI Israel. It is worth mentioning that the Ilood oI immigration, which began even beIore the declaration oI the state oI Israel, had never stopped. On the contrary, it had increased many Iolds and is still growing. 4. There is a marked diIIerence in number and weaponry between the Israeli and the Arab armies. This was evident in 1948 when the Jewish army was more than three times that oI the Arabs despite the Iact the number oI the Arab population was and still is larger. 5. The Jews are gathered to Palestine Irom diIIerent parts oI the world. This, again, is one oI the Ioretold events, which appear in the verses oI the second prophecy. This is a Iact, which indeed has been taking place with the continuous Jewish immigration (more about this later). 6. When the Jews are brought together to create their second independent state in Palestine, they come Irom diIIerent races and origins. This is in contrast with the state oI indigenous Israelites oI the Iirst Kingdom when the Jews were descendents oI Prophet Jacob, also called "Israel", (peace be upon him). But, today we Iind that the Israeli Jewish people originate Irom more than 70 nationalities. 27 By looking at the above six Iactors, one can see that they represent a complete set, there is no need Ior even one extra Iactor. The only reIerence to the second prophecy in the Holy Qur’an was in Chapter 17 (Al-Israa). It occurs in two places: The Iirst mention is at the beginning oI the chapter, in verse 7: ْ»ُ ´َ ه,ُ =ُ و ْاوُ ؤ,ُ -َ ,ِ ' ِ ةَ ¸ِ =`ا ُ -ْ =َ و ء'َ = اَ ذِ 'َ · 'َ +َ 'َ · ْ»ُ -ْ'َ -َ أ ْنِ إَ و ْ»ُ ´ِ -ُ --َ 'ِ ' ْ»ُ --َ-ْ =َ أ ْ»ُ --َ -ْ =َ أ ْنِ إ اً ¸,ِ -ْ -َ - ْاْ,َ 'َ = 'َ - ْاوُ ¸ -َ -ُ ,ِ 'َ و ٍ ة´ ¸َ - َ ل´ وَ أ ُ -,ُ 'َ =َ د 'َ -َ آ َ -ِ =ْ -َ -ْ 'ا ْا,ُ 'ُ =ْ-َ ,ِ 'َ و |If you do good, you do good for your own selves, and if you do evil, it is for yours (your selves). So when the Promise of the End (second of the warnings) comes to pass, We permit your enemies to disfigure (or disgrace) your faces and to enter the Mosque as they have entered it before and to ravage (destroy) all that falls into their power|. The second mention was made later in the chapter, in verse 104: َ ' ْ»ُ ´ِ - 'َ -ْ -ِ = ِ ةَ ¸ِ =`ا ُ -ْ =َ و ء'َ = اَ ذِ 'َ · َضْرَ `ا ْا,ُ -ُ ´ْ -ا َ .,ِ -اَ ¸ْ -ِ إ ¸ِ -َ -ِ ' ِ -ِ -ْ ·َ - ¸ِ - 'َ -ْ 'ُ ·َ و'ً -,ِ - [And We said thereafter to the Israelites, "Dwell in the land (of promise)", but when the Promise of the End comes to pass, We gather you together in a mixed crowd] Both the Iirst and second prophecies reIer to the two states oI rise and Iall experienced by the Israelites aIter they leIt Egypt. In Chapter 17, verse 103 -104 say: 'ً ·,ِ -َ = ُ ªَ ·´ - ¸َ -َ و ُ -'َ -ْ ·َ ¸ْ =َ 'َ · ِ ضْرَ `ا َ ¸ - »ُ ه´ ¸ِ -َ -ْ -َ , نَ أ َ داَ رَ 'َ · َ ¸ِ =`ا ُ -ْ =َ و ء'َ = اَ ذِ 'َ · َ ضْرَ `ا ْا,ُ -ُ ´ْ -ا َ .,ِ -اَ ¸ْ -ِ إ ¸ِ -َ -ِ ' ِ -ِ -ْ ·َ - ¸ِ - 'َ -ْ 'ُ ·َ و'ً -,ِ -َ ' ْ»ُ ´ِ - 'َ -ْ -ِ = ِ ة |So he resolved to remove them from the face of the earth: But We did drown him and all that were with him. And We said thereafter to the Israelites |Dwell securely in the land (of promise): but when the second of the warnings came to 28 pass, We gathered you together in a mixed crowd|. That is, we permitted the Israelites (aIter Pharaoh was drowned) to dwell in the blessed land, and thereby the promise oI the Iirst warning is IulIilled. It is decreed that the two corruptions occur aIter exodus Irom Egypt. Verse 104 oI chapter 17 implies that at the start oI the second prophecy, the Jews will be a dispersed people, scattered around the Globe. This leads to the conclusions we mentioned above No. 5 and No. 6: you will be gathered together Irom diIIerent parts oI the world, as you will be, at the time, descendent Irom several origins.” This is the meaning oI |We gathered you together in a mixed crowd|. God knows best ! It has been stated earlier that the ground Ior the two prophecies will be the blessed Land oI Palestine. This conclusion is based on the clear reIerence made in Sura Al-AraI (Chapter 7) oI the Quran, verses 136 and137 about the army oI Pharaoh versus the Jews: ُ +´ -َ 'ِ - »َ ,ْ 'ا ¸ِ · ْ»ُ ه'َ -ْ ·َ ¸ْ =َ 'َ · ْ»ُ +ْ -ِ - 'َ-ْ -َ -َ --'َ ·َ ¸,ِ 'ِ ·'َ = 'َ +ْ -َ = ْا,ُ -'َ آَ و 'َ -ِ -'َ ,'ِ- ْا,ُ -´ -َ آ ْ» 'َ +,ِ · 'َ -ْ آَ ر'َ - ¸ِ -´ 'ا 'َ +َ -ِ ر'َ ·َ -َ و ِ ضْرَ `ا َ قِ ر'َ -َ - َ ن,ُ -َ ·ْ -َ -ْ -ُ , ْا,ُ -'َ آ َ ¸,ِ -´ 'ا َ مْ,َ -ْ 'ا 'َ -ْ `َ رْوَ أَ و َ و ْاوُ ¸َ -َ - 'َ -ِ - َ .,ِ -اَ ¸ْ -ِ إ ¸ِ -َ - _َ 'َ = _َ -ْ -ُ =ْ 'ا َ = -َ ر ُ -َ -ِ 'َ آ ْ-´ -َ -َ و ُ _َ -ْ -َ , َ ن'َ آ 'َ - 'َ -ْ¸´ -َ د َ ن,ُ -ِ ¸ْ ·َ , ْا,ُ -'َ آ 'َ -َ و ُ ªُ -ْ,َ ·َ و ُ نْ,َ =ْ¸ِ · |So We exacted retribution upon them: We drowned them in the sea because they rejected Our signs, and failed to take warning from them. And we made a people, who used to be subjugated, inheritors of the East and West of the Earth that We have blessed and thus the good word (promise) of your Lord was fulfilled on the Israelites for exhibiting of patience and we destroyed what Pharaoh and his people have accomplished and built. | 29 Hence, we can use history to delimit the boundaries oI the blessed land Irom the east and Irom the west. A Blessed Land on Earth The land oI Palestine is reIerred to as a Blessed Land 5 times in the Qur’an, but it was reIerred to as a Holy Land once. (a) Chapter 7, verse 137: |And we made a people considered weak inheritors of lands in both east and west, lands whereon We sent down Our blessings... | (b) Chapter 17, verse 1: |To the Farthest Mosque whose precincts We did bless...| (c) Chapter 21, verse 71: |But We delivered him and Lut (Prophet Lot) to the land which We have blessed for the nations| (d) Chapter 21, verse 81: |It was Our power that made the violent unruly wind flow (tamely) for Solomon, to his order, to the land which We had blessed; for We do know all things| (e) Chapter 34, verse 18: |Between them and the cities on which We had poured Our blessings, We had placed cities in prominent positions...| (I) Chapter 5, verse 21: |O my people! Enter the Holy Land.| The Iirst verse talks about the land that was inhabited by the Israelites aIter they leIt Egypt and the drowning oI the Pharaoh oI their time. This is the Holy Land oI Palestine, which they were promised to enter in the 6th verse. 30 The second verse talks about the Al-Aqsa Mosque, which is commonly known to be located in Palestine. The third verse talks about the escape oI Prophet Abraham and Prophet Lot Irom their homeland (that was ruled by a tyrant non-believer) to the blessed land oI Palestine. Historians agree that Prophet Lot lived in the area oI Jericho while Prophet Abraham lived in Hebron and is buried there. The Iourth verse is about Solomon whose kingdom is known to have been in Palestine with its capital Jerusalem. The IiIth verse talks about the relation between the Kingdom oI Saba (Sheba) in Yemen and the kingdom oI Solomon in Palestine. It is known that Solomon’s kingdom transcended the boundaries oI modern Palestine. Yet, Palestine was the central part oI his kingdom. The Conclusion of the Second Prophecy Details oI the predicted downIall oI the powerIul State oI Israel is depicted clearly in verse 7oI chapter 17 oI the Holy Qur’an: ْ»ُ ´َ ه,ُ =ُ و ْاوُ ؤ,ُ -َ ,ِ ' ِ ةَ ¸ِ =`ا ُ -ْ =َ و ء'َ = اَ ذِ'َ · 'َ +َ 'َ · ْ»ُ -ْ'َ -َ أ ْنِ إَ و ْ»ُ ´ِ -ُ --َ 'ِ ' ْ»ُ --َ -ْ =َ أ ْ»ُ --َ -ْ =َ أ ْنِ إ ْ 'ا ْا,ُ 'ُ =ْ-َ ,ِ 'َ واً ¸,ِ -ْ -َ - ْاْ,َ 'َ = 'َ - ْاوُ ¸ -َ-ُ ,ِ 'َ و ٍ ة´ ¸َ - َ ل´ وَ أ ُ -,ُ 'َ =َ د 'َ -َ آ َ -ِ =ْ -َ - |If you do good, you do good for your own selves, and if you do evil, it is for yours (your selves). So when the Promise of the End (second of the warnings) comes to pass, We permit your enemies to disfigure (or disgrace) your faces and to enter the Mosque as they have entered it before and to ravage (destroy) all that falls into their power|. 31 [So when the second of the warnings came to pass] means when the prophesied second Jewish Corruption occurs, the Jews who spread corruption and their State will be punished. He said »´ه,=و اوء,-,'to disfigure (or disgrace) your faces instead oI»´ه,=و نؤ,-,'. In the Iormer phrase, the grammatical apodosis oI the article ا ذ إ is the verb - '-`· . Where is the apodosis oI ا ذإ in the second phrase? It is the same verb '-`·-. The meaning is: When the second warning came to pass we sent them to achieve three objectives: to disIigure, to enter, and to visit with destruction They (the Arab Muslims) will disrepute you, or will hurt you in such a way that insult will be shown on your Iaces. It is also probable that the meaning is: their well-craIted image, created through the media, will be destroyed; that is, they will be exposed beIore the nations who had been Iooled by them Ior many years. This results in their shame and embarrassment. All this will be at the hands oI those whom God sends to carry out the second prophecy. [And to enter the Mosque] means the Arab Muslims will re- enter the Al-Aqsa mosque Ior the second time, aIter destroying the might oI the Jewish state. [As they have entered it before] is a reminder that the end oI each warning is the entry to the Aqsa Mosque. We have pointed out earlier that the end oI the Iirst entry oI the Arabs to the Al- Aqsa Mosque was in 586 BC when Judea was destroyed and its capital, Jerusalem, Iell in the hands oI the Arab Babylonians. 32 Nowadays, the modern Jewish State has declared Jerusalem as its capital. ThereIore, the Qur’an is hinting that the Iall oI Jerusalem leads to the Iall oI the Jewish state. Undoubtedly the Iall oI the capital oI Israel, which is the symbol oI the conIlict, is the greatest event in the second Jewish Corruption which God called the second or last, a designation. This implies that the Iall oI Jerusalem as the capital oI the Jewish state will only take place twice; the Iirst oI which had already taken place. […And to ravage (destroy) all that falls into their power] means that the Iorces that will re-enter Jerusalem will destroy, kill and tear apart every thing that comes under their control. The verse depicts a picture oI violent resistance on parts oI the Jews. This resistance however will be met by a more violent reaction by the invading Iorce that results in wide spread destruction and killing. One question springs to mind at this point: Will the destruction and killing take place throughout the blessed land or just in some parts oI it? There is no explicit reIerence in the Qur’anic text to the size oI the ground over which destruction will take place. However, it can be noticed that destruction is mentioned in the verse aIter the entry into the Al-Aqsa Mosque, which leads us to conclude that the destruction will take place around the city oI Jerusalem. It is worth mentioning however that the Arabic letter “و” which means “and” in English does not imply order or succession oI events. This means that destruction could precede the entry to Jerusalem or both events could take place concurrently. It is diIIicult to say however that destruction will take place aIter the entry to Jerusalem. 33 God’s Mercy and Punishment In verse 8, chapter 17 oI the Holy Qur’an, God calls the Jews to repent and stop their corruption so that they may receive His Mercy: َ , نَ أ ْ»ُ ´´ -َ ر _َ -َ =اً ¸,ِ -َ = َ ¸,ِ ¸ِ ·'َ ´ْ 'ِ ' َ »´ -َ +َ = 'َ -ْ 'َ ·َ =َ و 'َ -ْ-ُ = ْ»´ --ُ = ْنِ إَ و ْ»ُ ´َ -َ =ْ¸ |It may be that your Lord may, yet, show Mercy unto you, but if you revert to your sins, We shall revert to our punishments; And We have made Hell a prison for those who reject faith.| A clear message to the Jews to reIrain Irom their corruption and return back to the way oI the Lord iI they want to escape disgrace in this liIe and a greater irretrievable disgrace in the HereaIter.However, iI Israelites reverted to corruption, Allah (s.w.t) will revert to punishment. Reward and punishment beIit the situation. Will the Jews be admonished aIter this measure? Those who reIlect on Holy Qur’an Iind that a group oI them will persist with corruption wherever they may be; this results in God’s continued punish to them until the Day oI Judgment. ْذِ إَ و ُ _,ِ ¸َ -َ ' َ =´ -َ ر ´ نِ إ ِ باَ -َ ·ْ 'ا َ ء,ُ - ْ»ُ +ُ -,ُ -َ , ¸َ - ِ ªَ -'َ ,ِ -ْ 'ا ِ مْ,َ , _َ 'ِ إ ْ»ِ +ْ ,َ 'َ = ´ ¸َ `َ ·ْ -َ ,َ ' َ =´ -َ ر َ ن´ ذَ 'َ - ٌ»,ِ =´ ر ٌر,ُ -َ ·َ ' ُ ª´ -ِ إَ و ِ ب'َ -ِ ·ْ 'ا |Behold! Your Lord did declare that He would send against them, to the Day of Judgment, those who would afflict them with grievous penalty. Your Lord is quick in retribution, but He is also oft forgiving, Most Merciful. | (Sura Al-AraI 7: 167). 34 Another Iorm oI liIe punishment is detailed in Chapter 5, verse 64 oI the Holy Qur’an; ِ مْ,َ , _َ 'ِ إ ء'َ -ْ ·َ -ْ 'اَ و َ ةَواَ -َ ·ْ 'ا ُ »ُ +َ -ْ ,َ - 'َ -ْ ,َ -ْ 'َ أَ و ِ ªَ -'َ ,ِ -ْ 'ا|Amongst them (the Jews) We have placed enmity and hatred till the Day of Judgement|(5:64). These are worldly punishments inIlicted on them Ior their corruption.ِ إ One oI the Qur’anic verses that announce glad tiding to the righteous believers is the Iollowing: َ ن,ُ 'َ -ْ ·َ , َ ¸,ِ -´ 'ا َ ¸,ِ -ِ -ْ,ُ -ْ 'ا ُ ¸ -َ -ُ ,َ و ُ مَ ,ْ ·َ أ َ ¸ِ ه ¸ِ -´ 'ِ ' يِ -ْ +ِ , َ ن'ْ¸ُ -ْ 'ا اَ -َ ه ´ نِ إ ْ»ُ +َ ' ´ نَ أ ِ ت'َ =ِ ''´ -'ا اً ¸,ِ -َ آ اً ¸ْ =َ أ |Verily this Qur’an doth guide to that which is most right and giveth the glad tidings to the believers who work deeds of righteousness, that they shall have a magnificent reward| (Sura Israa 17: 9). The 1ews and Christians embrace Islam As we mentioned earlier, The Qur’anic verses that talk about the second prophecy are Iound both at the beginning and the end oI Chapter 17 oI the Holy Qur’an. It can be noticed that, the verses that immediately Iollow the prophecy verses in each place, talk about the Holy Qur’an as a guide to the truth, a source oI good news and glad tidings to the believers and a Warner oI God’s punishment to the non-believer; َ = ْ»ُ +َ ' 'َ -ْ-َ -ْ =َ أ ِ ةَ ¸ِ =`'ِ - َ ن,ُ -ِ -ْ,ُ , َ ` َ ¸,ِ -´ 'ا ´ نَ أو'ً -,ِ 'َ أ 'ً -اَ - ¡And those who believe not in the Hereafter, that We have prepared for them a grievous penalty - indeed| (17: 10). It is a glad tiding to the 35 believers and a warning to the Israelites who believe in God and his apostles to some extent, but they do not believe in the HereaIter. The Old Testament is over one thousand pages, yet has no explicit reIerence to the Last Day. اً ¸,ِ -َ -َ و اً ¸ -َ -ُ - ´ `ِ إ َ ك'َ -ْ 'َ -ْرَ أ 'َ -َ و َ لَ ¸َ- ¸َ =ْ ''ِ -َ و ُ -'َ -ْ 'َ ¸-َ أ ¸َ =ْ ''ِ -َ و ُ -'َ -ْ ·َ ¸َ · 'ً -'ْ¸ُ ·َ و 'ً ',ِ ¸-َ - ُ -'َ -ْ '´ ¸َ -َ و ٍ -ْ ´ُ - _َ 'َ = ِ س'´ -'ا _َ 'َ = ُ -َ أَ ¸ْ -َ -ِ ' ِ ' َ نو´ ¸ِ =َ , ْ»ِ +ْ ,َ 'َ = _َ 'ْ -ُ , اَ ذِ إ ِ ªِ 'ْ -َ · ¸ِ - َ »ْ 'ِ ·ْ 'ا ْا,ُ -وُ أ َ ¸,ِ -´ 'ا ´ نِ إ ْا,ُ -ِ -ْ,ُ - َ ` ْوَ أ ِ ªِ - ْا,ُ -ِ -' ْ.ُ · ِ ن'َ ·ْذَ ` اً -´ =ُ - َ و َ ن'َ آ نِ إ 'َ - -َ ر َ ن'َ =ْ -ُ - َ ن,ُ ',ُ -َ ,َ و'ً ',ُ ·ْ -َ -َ ' 'َ - -َ ر ُ -ْ = 'ً =,ُ -ُ = ْ»ُ هُ -,ِ ¸َ ,َ و َ ن,ُ ´ْ -َ , ِ ن'َ ·ْذَ `ِ ' َ نو´ ¸ِ=َ ,َ و |We sent down the Qur’an in truth and in truth has it descended and we sent you (Muhammad) to give Glad Tidings and to warn sinners. It is a Qur’an which we have divided into parts in order that you (Muhammad) might recite it to men at intervals: We have revealed it by stages. Say: “Whether you believe in it or not, it is true, that those who were given knowledge beforehand, when it is recited to them fall down on their faces in humble prostration. And they say: ”Glory to our Lord! Truly has the promise of our Lord been fulfilled! They fall down on their faces in tears, and it increases their earnest humility. | (Sura Israa 17: 105 -109) By careIully examining the meaning oI the above verses, one would conclude that there is an implicit intention here to talk about the general reaction oI the People oI the Book (mainly Jews and Christians) to the second prophecy when it takes place. As the verses indicate, the IulIillment oI the second prophecy, exactly as predicted and detailed in the Holy Qur’an, will have a positive eIIect on them. They will realize how true is the religion 36 oI Islam, which leads to their embracing oI Islam, saying: Glory to our Lord! Truly has the promise of our Lord been fulfilled? And then think about the concluding verse oI Chapter 17 as to its meaning and the musical rhythm: »َ 'َ و اً -َ 'َ و ْ-ِ =´ -َ , ْ»َ ' يِ -´ 'ا ِ ªّ 'ِ ' ُ -ْ -َ =ْ 'ا ِ .ُ ·َ و َ ¸ - ´ ¸ِ 'َ و ُ ª´ ' ¸ُ ´َ , ْ»َ 'َ و ِ =ْ 'ُ -ْ 'ا ¸ِ · ٌ=,ِ ¸َ - ُ ª´ ' ¸ُ ´َ , اً ¸,ِ -ْ ´َ - ُ -ْ¸ -َ آَ و ´ ل´ -'ا |Say: “Praise be to God who begets no sons and has no partners in His dominion: Nor needs He any to protect Him from humiliation: Yea, magnify Him for His greatness and Glory! | (Sura Israa 17: 111) The Expulsion of 1ews from the City of Medina We read in the honorable biography oI the Prophet Muhammad صلى الل- علي- وسلم that the Prophet had expelled, Irom the city oI Medina, the Jewish Qaynuqa’a tribe and, later on, the Jewish Bani Nadeer tribe. Following these events came the revelation oI Chapter 59 (Al-Hashr) oI the Holy Qur’an. This chapter begins, similar to Sura Israa (Chapter 17), by praising and gloriIying God: ُ »,ِ ´َ =ْ 'ا ُ ¸,ِ ¸َ ·ْ 'ا َ ,ُ هَ و ِ ضْرَ 'ْ 'ا ¸ِ · 'َ -َ و ِ تاَ و'َ -´ -'ا ¸ِ · 'َ - ِ ª´ 'ِ ' َ _´ -َ - ْ =َ أ يِ -´ 'ا َ ,ُ ه نَ أ ْ»ُ --َ -َ = 'َ - ِ ¸ْ -َ =ْ 'ا ِ ل´ وَ 'ِ ' ْ»ِ هِ ر'َ ,ِ د ¸ِ - ِ ب'َ -ِ ´ْ 'ا ِ .ْ هَ أ ْ¸ِ - اوُ ¸َ -َ آ َ ¸,ِ -´ 'ا َ جَ ¸ َ -َ ·َ و ا,ُ -ِ -َ -ْ =َ , ْ»َ ' ُ -ْ ,َ = ْ¸ِ - ُ ª´ ''ا ُ »ُ ه'َ -َ 'َ · ِ ª´ ''ا َ ¸ - »ُ +ُ -,ُ -ُ = ْ»ُ +ُ -َ ·ِ -'´ - »ُ +´ -َ أ ا,´ -َ =َ و ا,ُ =ُ ¸ْ =َ , َ ف َ -ْ =´ ¸'ا ُ »ِ +ِ -,ُ 'ُ · ¸ِ · ِ ر'َ -ْ -َ 'ْ 'ا ¸ِ 'وُ أ 'َ , اوُ ¸ِ -َ -ْ ='َ · َ ¸,ِ -ِ -ْ,ُ -ْ 'ا يِ -ْ ,َ أَ و ْ»ِ +,ِ -ْ ,َ 'ِ - »ُ +َ -,ُ ,ُ - َ ن,ُ -ِ ¸ْ =ُ , |Whatever is in the heavens and on earth, let it declare the praises and glory of God: for He is the Exalted in might, The Wise. It is He who got out the unbelievers among the People of 37 the Book from their homes to the beginning (or first phase) of their Hashr (gathering)... | (Quran 59 : 1-2) Qur’anic interpreters have indicated that this |Iirst gathering| as reIerred to in the above verses will take place in the Greater Syria (which includes Palestine). In order to understand the signiIicance oI this gathering, one would need answers to the Iollowing questions: What is the purpose oI the beginning (or Iirst phase) oI the gathering to be located in Palestine? Or Greater Syria? Why this expulsion (oI the Jews Irom Medina) is considered to be the beginning (or Iirst phase) oI the gathering’? What will happen in the last phase gathering? It has been narrated in the Qur’anic commentary oI ‘NasaIee’ that when the Messenger oI God, Muhammad صلى الل- علي- وسلم , expelled the Jewish tribe oI Bani Nadeer Irom Medina, he said to them: “Go on to the beginning oI your gathering and we shall be on your track.” Does this point to the second prophecy which is mentioned in the Holy Qur’an? [..., but when the Promise of the End comes to pass, We gather you together in a mixed crowd] So, one can conclude that the Jewish entry to the Holy Land aIter the death oI Prophet Moses was indeed an introduction to the IulIillment oI the Iirst promise (prophecy) and their entry Iollowing their expulsion Irom Medina, was an introduction to the IulIillment oI the Promise oI the End. The time gap is insigniIicant because this is meant to be a portent oI the warning revealed in Sura 17. It is only a symbolic beginning. NasaIi 38 narrated that some oI the Jewish Bani Nadir tribes lived in Jericho in the Holy Land (Palestine). We say the gathering, in its beginning, is not ¸-= (Hashr), though it is appropriate to say it is the beginning oI ¸-= (Hashr) because ¸-= (Hashr) implies a gathering oI a crowd in a small limited space accompanied by uncomIortableness. This means that Promise oI the End becomes IulIilled when the gathering oI the Israelites (Jews) becomes a ¸-= (Hashr) . The 1ewish Race is no longer a Semitic one Human race experts state that 90° oI the current world Jewry are converts to Judaism and not descendents Irom the original Israelites or Israelites |Irom a Semitic origin|. The Jews also acknowledge that 10 oI their tribes are lost. The lost tribes are: |Ra’awbeen, Shamoun, Zbolon, Yesaker, Dan, Jad, Asheer, Navtali, AIraym and Mensi.| |8| In light oI this, how can it be claimed that the Jews oI today are still considered to be Israelites? The answer can be summarized as Iollows: 1. The Qur’anic reIerence in chapter 17, verse 104; [... but when the Promise of the End comes to pass, We gather you together in a mixed crowd] . This means gather you Irom Diaspora when you descend Irom various origins, unlike the Iirst warning. 39 2. The Jews have insisted on calling their current state ‘Israel’. Thus, Israelites have became Children oI the State oI Israel. No doubt, they are today the sons oI ( the State oI) Israel. 3. In God's religion (Islam), people are not judged based on their origin or race, but on the basis oI their belieI and conduct. The Israelites Iollowed a perverted Iorm oI Judaism and will Iollow them whoever shares their belieIs. 4. True aIIiliation (with a religion) is determined by allegiance. This meaning is depicted in the Iollowing verse: ْا,ُ -َ -' َ ¸,ِ -´ 'ا 'َ +´ ,َ أ 'َ , ُ +ْ -ِ - ُ ª´ -ِ 'َ · ْ»ُ ´- - »ُ +´ 'َ ,َ -َ , ¸َ -َ و ٍ ¸ْ ·َ - ء'َ ,ِ 'ْوَ أ ْ»ُ +ُ -ْ ·َ - ء'َ ,ِ 'ْوَ أ ىَ ر'َ -´ -'اَ و َ د,ُ +َ ,ْ 'ا ْاوُ -ِ =´ -َ - َ ` ْ» َ ¸,ِ -ِ ''´ ='ا َ مْ,َ -ْ 'ا يِ -ْ +َ , َ ` َ ªّ ''ا ´ نِ إ |...and he amongst you that turn to them for allegiance is (becomes) one of them | (Quran 5: 51). 5. No one can deny that, today, part oI the World’s Jews' origin can be traced to the Israelites, especially Oriental ones (Jews Irom Middle Eastern Countries). 6. Our claim that some oI the present Jews are descended Irom the Israelites is correct. However, we cannot speciIy or identiIy them easily. The Approach of the Day of 1udgment Some Muslims think that the end oI the State oI Israel means the Day oI Judgment becomes so near. This is unIounded and untrue. Their conclusion is based on the saying oI the Prophet Muhammad صلى الل- علي- وسلم : "The day of Judgment will not take place until the Muslims fight the Jews...". However, some Muslim scholars indicated that the Prophet’s saying does 40 not imply the Day oI Judgment is approaching, but that a great and a decisive battle will take place between the two parties beIore it actually happens. Even iI the saying oI the Prophet implies that the Iorthcoming great battle is a sign Ior the approaching oI the Day oI Judgment, one cannot conclude that the end oI the Current State oI Israel would mark the Iinal battle on Earth. Otherwise, what does the Iollowing verse mean ْ»´ --ُ = ْنِ إَ و 'َ -ْ-ُ = |but if you revert -to your sins- we shall revert -to our punishment-....| (Qur’an, 17: 8)? . Have we Iorgotten that the majority oI the Iollowers oI Dajjal (Anti-Christ) will be Jews according to an authentic Hadith?! It was narrated in the book oI Jihad (holy war) by Abu-Dawood that the Prophet Muhammad صلى الل- علي- وسلم addressed one oI his Companions saying: “…. Ibn Hawala: II you see the Caliphate |Muslim State| has reached the Holy Land |oI Palestine|, then watch out Ior earthquakes, disorders and great things to happen. The Hour at that time will be nearer to people than my hand is now to your head.” The phrase the Caliphate has reached shows that the center oI Caliphate (Islamic State ruled by a Caliph) will in a way ‘travel’ until it reaches the Holy Land which will be the last home oI Caliphate. History tells us that Caliphate started in the city oI Medina, then moved to KuIa in Iraq, then to Damascus in Syria, then to Baghdad in Iraq, then Istanbul in Turkey, then it will reach the Holy Land in Al-Quds (or Jerusalem). In support oI this |prophetic| saying, one may reIer to another saying oI the Prophet Muhammad صلى الل- علي- وسلم : "...they - the late Muslims who are true to their Iaith- will be in Jerusalem and the area surrounding Jerusalem". Thus, when God’s decree comes to 41 pass, the last powerIul state Ior Muslims will be in Jerusalem and its vicinity. It is worth noting that Muslims have never taken Jerusalem as a seat Ior Caliphate, as they should. In other words, I do not believe that the Iinal rise oI the Muslim State will end by liberating Jerusalem. Indeed, their last rise and dominance will be at the hands oI Mahdi who will rule the Earth according to Islamic Law and who will take Jerusalem as a capital. The beginning oI Islam was in Mecca and the end will be in Jerusalem. ´ 'ا _َ -ْ ·َ `ا ِ -ِ =ْ -َ -ْ 'ا _َ 'ِ إ ِ ماَ ¸َ =ْ 'ا ِ -ِ =ْ -َ -ْ'ا َ ¸ - 'ً 'ْ ,َ ' ِ -ِ -ْ -َ ·ِ - ىَ ¸ْ -َ أ يِ -´ 'ا َ ن'َ =ْ -ُ - 'َ -ْ آَ ر'َ - يِ - ُ ¸,ِ -َ -'ا ُ _,ِ -´ -'ا َ ,ُ ه ُ ª´ -ِ إ 'َ -ِ -'َ ,' ْ¸ِ - ُ ªَ ,ِ ¸ُ -ِ ' ُ ªَ 'ْ,َ = |Glory to God who did take His servant for a journey by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Furthest Mosque whose precincts We did bless, in order that We might show him some of Our signs: for He is the One Who heareth and seeth all things. | ¡13] (Qur'an 17: 1) 42 CHAPTER TWO IS IT A PROPHECY OR NUMERICAL COINCIDENCE? All known religions tell about the Iuture and have revealed part oI the unseen. All Prophets have told about the unknown. Revealing the unseen took many Iorms: some through direct verbal communication, some through signs and others through direct prophetic revelation or through a Prophet’s or even a non- prophet’s authentic vision. Some |oI these visions| come true shortly and some aIter many years or even centuries. Muslims believe in the Torah, but they believe that it has been altered or they assert that it has only a portion oI the truth. Thus it is likely that in it are prophecies which originated Irom revelation though they need interpretation or deciphering even at the numerical level. We are concerned here with decoding a Qur’anic prophecy, which had been a prophecy in Torah. Allah |SWT| says in Sura Al-Israa: |And we decreed for the Israelites in the Book, that would they do corruption (mischief) on Earth twice ... When the Promise of first (of the warnings) was due... So when the second of the warnings came to pass…| (Quran 17: 4 -7) 43 About IiIteen years ago, an Egyptian writer came up with research on the numerical miracle oI the Holy Qur'an, based on the number 19 and its multiples. It was well received by people, but soon they realized this man’s perverseness, explain a realization that led them to turn against his research. This opposition has intensiIied because the number 19 is sacred Ior the Baha’ is explain. Having had the chance, by Allah's will, to thoroughly study and scrutinize the research, it can be seen that the man lies and deliberately Iabricates the numbers, a discovery that justiIies the opposition. Nonetheless, it is striking that there are antecedents indicating the existence oI a mathematical model based on the number 19, which are the correct part oI the research and its premises. It seems that the untruthIulness oI this man barred him Irom knowing the true implications oI these antecedents. AIter careIul reconsideration, it appears that there is a miraculous and perIectly unique mathematical structure based on the number 19. In 1990, I wrote a book called "The Miracle of Nineteen Between the Backwardness of Muslims and the Perversities of Impostors" in which I have given detailed analysis oI this startling miracle which Iorces itselI upon people, Ior the world oI mathematics is inductive in nature and is based on axioms, and there is no room in it Ior interpretation and personal views. I have discovered that the Number 19 is noticeably repeated in the relationship among the sun, the earth and the moon which suggests there must be a law that governs the universe and the Qur'an. Why not, since Allah has created the universe and revealed the Quran ! 44 I had never thought that this number had historical signiIicance, and at the same time, Iormed the basis oI Qur'anic code and complied with astronomical laws, until I came across a (written) lecture by a well-known writer, Muhammad Ahmad Al-Rashid, about the New World Order. This lecture was the key to these observations which I present to the reader who, I hope, will excuse me Ior not citing page numbers oI the reIerences I quote, as I am writing (this book) in my tent in Marg EzZuhoor, and I leIt my papers behind in my homeland. At any rate, we will not need many reIerences, as the reader will Iind it easy to veriIy all that we have mentioned by reIerring to the Holy Qur'an, the Torah, or to some astronomical and historical sources. I do not claim it is a prophecy, nor do I claim that it will deIinitely happen. These are only observations, which I am obligated to present to the readers and leave it to them to come to the conclusion they Iind convincing. The beginning, as I pointed out, was a written lecture by the Iraqi writer Muhammad Ahmad Al-Rashid on the New World Order. The reader may be surprised to Iind this serious lecture containing words the gist oI which is the Iollowing: When the state oI Israel was declared in 1948, a Jewish old lady came to Rashid’s mother crying. When she (Rashid’s mother) asked her about the reason Ior her crying while other Jews were celebrating. She replied: "The establishment oI this state will bring about the slaughter oI the Jews.” Al-Rashid says he heard her say that this state will last 76 years. When he grew up, he regarded that this matter (prophecy) could be related to the rotation oI Comet Haley, Ior according to Al-Rashid, this comet has certain signiIicance in Jewish belieIs. 45 Initially, I did not like the Iact he mentioned such incident because I thought the lecture could have been better iI this incident was not mentioned. People are used to hearing various invalid stories Irom old ladies and thus truth and Ialsehood are mixed up and people, particularly the educated ones, have become resentIul to this kind oI talk. But, then, I thought “What’s wrong with checking what the old lady said? She must have heard it Irom the rabbis.” It cannot be assumed that these were her own predictions and Iancies. Furthermore, the rabbis have a residue oI revelation mixed with remnant human illusions and legends. This was the starting point oI this research. A book about Fundamentalist or Orthodox Jewish belieIs (probably based on the Jewish Talmud which is not part oI the Old Testament) mentions what can be translated as: "This is the kind oI peace predicted by Benjamin Begin (Israel's Prime Minister at that time) when he declared at the climax oI the Israeli war against Lebanon in 1982: Israel will enjoy the 40 years oI peace, mentioned in Torah." Is Begin reIerring to the same prophecy oI the Jewish old lady we mentioned earlier? Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982 and thus, the end oI the 40 years (oI peace) will be: 1982 ¹ 40 ÷ year 2020. 1- According to the mysterious prophecy (oI the Jewish old lady), Israel will last 76 years or 19 × 4. And it is assumed that the 76 years are lunar years, Ior the Jewish Calendar Iollows this system. And Ior every three years, they add a month to balance the diIIerence with the solar system. The year 1948 AD is equivalent to year 1367 in the Islamic Hijri calendar. ThereIore, iI the prophecy is true, Israel will last until (1367 ¹ 76)÷ 1443 H. When the letter "H" appears aIter a year that means it is a 46 Hijri year, based on Hijri Islamic Calendar. The Iirst year in this calendar started with the date oI Hijra (means migration) oI Prophet Mohammad صلى الل- علي- وسلم Irom Mecca to Medina. Hijri is the adjective Iorm oI the word Hijra. Each Hijri year consists oI 12 lunar months whereby the Hijri month starts at the Iirst sight oI the moon. The middle oI the Hijri month will be at Iull moon. The length oI the Hijri month is either 29 or 30 days. The Hijri year is shorter than the solar year by about 11 days. 2- Sura Al-Israa (Chapter 17) is also inIormally reIerred to as Sura Bani Israel | Chapter oI the Israelites|. The beginning oI this Sura talks about a prophecy Allah revealed to Moses in the Old Testament. It mentions two instances oI corruption committed by the Israelites in the Holy Land accompanied by sense oI arrogance and haughtiness. Allah |s.w.t.| says: |We gave Moses the Book (the Torah) and made it a guide to the Israelites, commanding: Take not other than Me, O ye that are sprung from those We carried (in the Ark) with Noah! Verily he was a devotee, most grateful. And we decreed for the Israelites in the Book, that they would commit (or spread) corruption twice on Earth and be elated greatly (with haughtiness) … When the first of the warnings came to pass... When the second of the warnings comes to pass…| The Iirst corruption (mischieI) oI the Israelites had already been committed beIore Islam. As Ior the second or the last instance oI corruption, the known inIormation suggests that it is the State oI Israel that has been established in Palestine in 1948. It is noticed that the phrase ة¸=`ا -=و "Promise of the End" (the second oI the warnings) is only mentioned twice in the Holy Qur'an, both 47 oI them are in Sura Al-Israa: the Iirst while talking about the second corruption at the beginning oI Sura Al-Israa and the second beIore the end oI this Sura, in verse 104. II we calculate the number oI words starting Irom the beginning oI the talk about the prophecy: ¡We gave Moses the Book| to the last words about the prophecy ¡We gathered you together in a mixed crowd…| , we will Iind that the total number oI words is 1443 which matches the result above, i.e.: 1367 ¹ 76÷ 1443 H 3- Prophet Mohammad صلى الل- علي- وسلم migrated on 20/ 9/ 622 AD (so this is the date oI Hijra). According to Ibn Hazm Al-Zhahiry, there is consensus among (Muslim) scholars that the Israa(the miraculous, over-night journey, through Heaven, oI Prophet Mohammad صلى الل- علي- وسلم Irom Haram Mosque in Mecca to the location oI what is known today as Al-Aqsa Mosque) occurred one year beIore the Hijra (thereIore, Israa occurred in 622 AD - 1 ÷ 621 AD). Despite having some doubt about such consensus, yet the most convincing opinions (regarding this matter) stick to the year 621 AD. It is also inconceivable that the revelation oI the opening verses was chronologically Iar Irom the event oI the night journey itselI. ThereIore, iI the prophecy is right that the end oI Israel is in1443 H, the number oI lunar years since the beginning oI the prophecy (meaning since Israa) until the end or Iall oI Israel is 1444 because Israa occurred one year beIore Hijra. This number 1444 is ÷ 19 x 76. Notice that 76 is the number oI lunar years oI the expected age oI Israel. In other words, the time span Irom the beginning oI the prophecy to the end oI Israel is 19 times the age oI Israel. 48 4- Notice that the word م,, (meaning "day") in singular Iorm is mentioned in the Qur'an 365 times and the word ¸+- (meaning "month") in singular Iorm is mentioned 12 times. Taking into consideration that we are dealing with Othmanic script, thereIore, the word ---,, is not counted because it is not a Iorm oI م,, or '-,,. By the time the Earth Iinishes rotating around the sun once, the Earth would have rotated around itselI 365 times and the moon would have rotated around the Earth 12 times. However, in order Ior the moon and the Earth to return back to the same starting position, the Earth must rotate around the sun 19 times. Astronomically, this means that the Earth and moon return to the same starting point once every 19 years. That is why is the number 19 is commonly used by astronomers to illustrate the relationship between the lunar years and the solar years. The number 19 has become a symbol oI the balance and harmony between the solar year and the lunar year. The number 19 is used to harmonize the lunar year with the solar year. One is tempted to ask how many times is the wordª-- (year) mentioned in the Qur'an? It is mentioned 7 times in singular Iorm and the word ¸,-- (meaning "years") is mentioned 12 times, thereIore, the total is 7 ¹ 12 ÷ 19. Why ? It should be noted that every 19 lunar years have 7 leap lunar years (each leap lunar year consists oI 355 days) and 12 regular lunar years (each regular lunar year consists oI 354 days). II we convert the year 621 AD (the year oI "Israa"- Prophet Mohammad's صلى الل- علي- وسلم overnight journey) into lunar years, the result will be: (621 × 365.2422) / 354.367 ÷ 49 640.05 lunar years. That is the diIIerence is 640 - 621 ÷ 19. Since 19 represents the concurrence oI the sun and the moon; thus, we can consider 621AD also represents the concurrence oI the sun and the moon. That is why the reader will Iind that we use solar years when reIerring to years beIore 621 AD, but aIter Ior years aIter 621 AD, we use lunar years. Needless to say, an AD year is a solar year while a Hijri year is a lunar one. Solomon's Death 935 BC l AD Israa 621 AD End of Israel 1443 H (2022 AD) 5- In 935 BC, Solomon (peace be upon him) died and subsequently, the Jewish state was divided and the degeneration and corruption began. Thus, the Iirst Jewish Corruption (mischieI) mentioned in the opening verses oI Sura Al-Israa started in 935 BC and the end oI the second (and last) corruption will be in 2022 AD (or 1443 H). ThereIore the number oI years Irom the beginning oI the Iirst corruption to the Israa is 1556 solar years and the number oI years beginning Irom Israa until the end oI the second corruption is 1444 lunar years. We notice also that 1556 is also the total number oI words in Sura Al-Israa (Chapter 17). We may wonder then: Have historians agreed that the year oI Solomon’s death was 935 BC? II the reader wants a quick answer, he can look up the name ن'-,'-(Solomon) in the Arabic dictionary Al-Munjid. Also a number oI history books mention that his death was in 935 BC. Yet, some reIerences mention that his death was in 930 BC or 926 BC. It is not easy to decide or conIirm, it might even be impossible. I have, thereIore, endeavored to prove that via Qur’anic methods. 50 6- In numbering, there should be a counting unit regardless oI what we are counting. We may count letters, words or Suras and so Iorth; but in a single case, we only count the letter or the word and so on. Sura Saba (Sheba), Chapter 34, is the only Sura in the Qur'an where the death oI Solomon was mentioned. Verse 14 oI Sura Saba (Sheba) says: | ت,-'ا ª,'= '-,-· '-'·| (Then when We decreed (Solomon's) death, nothing showed them his death... |. The Arabic letter ف "Ia" that starts this verse, translated as "then", Iunctions here as a link between what is said in verse 13 about the peak oI the kingdom oI Solomon and his subsequent death mentioned in verse 14. The total number oI letters Irom the beginning oI Sura Saba (Sheba) until the end oI verse 13 and beIore mentioning his death is 934 letters, then comes the letter ف "Ia" which is a letter oI arrangement and subsequence. The total will be 935 |iI we add the letter (ف).| We mentioned earlier that the death oI Solomon was in 935 BC. We thereIore conIirm 935 like history books. I have noted that Verse 13 (which talks about the peak oI the kingdom oI Solomon and precedes the verse that talks about his death) is composed oI 19 words containing 84 letters. What is result of multiplying 84 by19 ?84 × 19 ÷ 1596. Since we know that Solomon ruled Ior 40 years as stated in the Old Testament ; thereIore, what is leIt aIter subtracting the period oI his reign is 1596 - 40 ÷ 1556. The number represents the number oI years Irom Solomon's death to the event oI Al-Israa in 621 AD. This number, 1556, is also the total number oI words in Sura Al-Israa. I have also noted that iI we add up the digits in the Iigure 1556, the total will be 17. II we do the same 51 with 935, the result will also be 17. It will be also noticed that 17 is the serial order oI Sura Al-Israa (known also as Chapter 17) and 17 ¹ 17 ÷ 34 which is the serial number oI Sura Saba (Chapter 34) in Qur'an. AIter mentioning the death oI Solomon in verse 14 oI Sura Saba, the subsequent verses talk about the Kingdom oI Saba (Sheba) and this continues until verse 21. II we calculate the number oI letters aIter the letter (Ia) in | ت,-'ا ª,'= '-,-· '-'·| to the end oI verse 21, we will Iind the number is 570 letters. According to AL-Munjid, the last collapse oI Ma'rib dam in Sheba which caused the destruction oI Kingdom oI Sheba was in 570 AD. In other words, the end oI the Kingdom oI Saba (Sheba) was in 570 AD. II the 570 letters aIter the letter (Ia) correspond to 570 years AD, then the 935 letters mentioned above correspond to 935 year BC. During Solomon's reign, Kingdom oI Saba (Sheba) in Yemen was part oI (or under the control) oI Solomon's kingdom. Immediately aIter the death oI Solomon, his kingdom was divided and corruption spread. Thus, it is expected that Saba split Irom the kingdom during the same year. It is noticeable that verse 18 talks about the relationship between Saba (Sheba) and the Holy Land |Between them and the cities on which We had poured Our blessings, We had placed cities in prominent positions|. But verse 19 talks about their perverseness and thenceIorth their disruption. We noted earlier that verse 13 which talks about the zenith oI Solomon’s kingdom is composed oI 19 words and 84 letters and that 19 × 84 ÷ 1596 which may point to the beginning oI Solomon's reign; because he died aIter ruling 40 years, it is expected that the corruption that spread 52 immediately aIter his death happened 1556 years beIore the revelation oI Sura Al-Israa and Saba, because 1596 - 40 ÷ 1556. These are only inductive observations. What is striking is that the verse that talks about corruption in the Kingdom oI Saba (Sheba) is verse 19 and the number oI words oI this verse is also 19 and the number oI letters it contains is 84. Does this mean that corruption in Saba (Sheba) and Jerusalem happened aIter the death oI Solomon, i.e. 1556 years beIore the revelation oI Sura Saba? We also notice that verse 13 Iinishes with (wa qalilun min ibaadi ash-shakur) and verse 19 Iinishes with (wa inna Ii thaalika laayaatin likulli sabbaarin shakur). The repetition oI the word "shakur" in the Qur'an does not exceed 10 times. No doubt "shakur" (grateIul) is the opposite oI "muIsid" (doer oI corruption). We should not Iorget that the prophecy in Sura Al- Israa (Chapter 17): 'ً ',ِ آَ و ¸ِ -وُ د ¸ِ - ْاوُ -ِ =´ -َ - ´ `َ أ َ .,ِ -اَ ¸ْ -ِ إ ¸ِ -َ - ' ىً -ُ ه ُ -'َ -ْ 'َ ·َ =َ و َ ب'َ -ِ ´ْ 'ا _َ -,ُ - 'َ -ْ ,َ-'َ و اً ر,ُ ´َ - اً -ْ -َ = َ ن'َ آ ُ ª´ -ِ إ ٍ ح,ُ - َ _َ - 'َ -ْ 'َ -َ = ْ¸َ - َ ª´ ,ّ ِ رُ ذ ¡And We gave Moses the Book (the Torah) and made it guidance for the Israelites (and enjoined them:) ‘Do not take anyone other than Me as Guardian. The progeny of those whom We carried (in the Ark) with Noah! Indeed he was most grateful.] (17: 2-3) 7- The Jews declared the establishment oI the current State oI Israel in Palestine on 15 May1948 AD, but we cannot consider it to be the actual date oI the establishment oI Israel. In the aItermath oI this declaration, the Arab armies retaliated by 53 declaring war against Israel. The United Nations issued a resolution oI cease Iire and the Arab League accepted it on 10 1une 1948 (10/ 06/ 1948). This was called "The First Truce" which is the eIIective date oI the creation oI the current State oI Israel. Please note that 10 1une 1967 AD is the date oI the end oI the six-day war in 1967. So, the number oI years between the Iirst truce in 1948 to the truce oI 1967 is Iull 19 solar years. The Iighting erupted again aIter 4 weeks. The U.N. issued a resolution oI cease-Iire and the Arab League accepted it on 18 1uly,1948 (18/ 7/ 1948), which was called "The Second Truce". This date was considered to be the completion oI the creation oI Israel. It is interesting to see that the number oI days since the day oI the declaration oI Israel until the completion oI its creation is 38 days (÷ 19 × 2). Furthermore, the sum oI adding up the numbers in the date 18 July,1948 (18/7/1948) , is: 1¹ 8¹7¹1¹1¹9¹4¹8÷ 38 (÷ 19 × 2). The Iollowing day on which the artillery stopped was 19/7/1948. The date oI Israa most agreed upon is 10/ 10/ 621 AD (which was Yom Kippur- Day oI Repentance- Ior the Jews). On the basis oI our Iindings, the timeline becomes: 10/10/ 935 BC 10/10/ 621 AD 10/6/1948 AD 5/3/2022 AD (1443 H) As mentioned earlier, the eIIective date oI the creation oI the current State oI Israel was 10/6/1948. II we add 76 Iull lunar years (each lunar is 354.367 days), the result will be: 76 × 54 354.367 days ÷ 26,931.892 days; thereIore; the end oI its completion will be on 5/3/2022 AD. The Iirst period Irom the Iirst corruption committed by the Israelites which started Iollowing the death oI Solomon on 10/10/ 935 BC (we know the year oI Solomon's death, but we do not know the speciIic day and month oI Solomon's death, so we supposed that it is 10/10/935 to match it with the day oI Israa) to the Israa |Prophet Mohammad's صلى الل- علي- وسلم overnight journey to Al-Aqsa Mosque's location in Jerusalem| on 10/10/ 621 AD÷ 935 ¹ 621÷ 1556 solar years. The second period Irom the Israa in 10/10/621 AD to the expected end oI Israel in 5/3/2022 AD ÷ 1400.4 solar years. Thus, by how much does the Iirst period exceed the second period? 1556 - 1400.4 ÷ 155.6 years. Since the time span Irom the beginning oI the Iirst corruption to the end oI the second corruption ÷ 1556 ¹ 1400.4 ÷ 2956.4. 2956.4 divided by 19 ÷ 155.6 and 19 is the result oI 10 ¹ 9. II we multiply 155.6 × 10 ÷ 1556 (the Iirst period) and 155.6 × 9 ÷ 1400.4 (the second period). ThereIore, the sum oI the two periods is 19 parts: 10 oI which passed beIore Israa and 9 would pass aIter Israa. So, we conclude that: (a) 155.6 years is the diIIerence between the two periods, and (b) 155.6 years is equal 1 out oI 19 parts that make up the total oI the two periods, Irom 10/ 10/ 935 BC to 5/ 3/ 2022 AD. 55 8. We have noticed something special about year 779 BC and the number 779 in general : The end oI the first 155.6 years aIter the end oI Solomon was: 935 BC - 155.6 ÷ 779 BC which is equal to 19 x 41. II 779 is multiplied by 2, the result will be: 779 x 2 ÷ 1558. This number (1558) is more than 1556 by 2, meaning: 1558 - 1556 ÷ 2. We also find that 1558 - 1400.4 ÷ 157.6 II we subtract 157.6 Irom 779, the result will be 779 - 157.6 ÷ 621.4 |The Israa (Prophet Mohammad's journey to Jerusalem) occurred in 621 AD |. Arabs use a system Ior assigning numerical value to words based on the numerical values oI each letter in the word. Later, in Numerical Values oI Letters, we will discuss how these numerical values are calculated based on established table. The numerical value oI the Arabic words Ior the Iollowing two most important mosques together | -=--'ا ما¸='ا Al-Masjid Al-Haraam ¹ '-·`ا -=--'ا Al-Masjid Al- Aqsa | ÷ 361 ¹ 418 ÷779 (which is equal to 19 x 41). There are Iour similarities between 779 BC and 1967 AD: (A) The reign oI King Azariah (Uzziah) oI Judah began in 782 BC, according to Philip Hitti. The Old Testament stated that he came to the throne when he was 16 years old; thus his age in 779 BCwas 19, and the age oI Israel in 1967 AD was 19. Some sources mention that King Azariah (Uzziah)'s reign started in 779 BC. He restored the glory oI Judah. During the same 56 period, the northern Kingdom oI Israel was also in its glory days under King Jeroboam II. So, all oI this may explain the signiIicance oI year 779 BC. In 1967, Israel was in its glory days. (B) 57 years aIter 779 BC ( 57÷ 19 × 3), the northern kingdom vanished, and 57 lunar years (55 solar years) aIter 1967 AD, the Iall oI the current Israel is expected to be in 2022 AD. (C) The sum oI adding up the digits oI 779 is 23 ( 7¹ 7¹ 9÷ 23), which is equal to the sum oI adding up the digits oI the year1967 (1¹9¹6¹7÷ 23). 9- When Solomon died in 935 BC, the state split into two parts: Israel in the North, which was destroyed in 722 BC, and Judah in the South, which was destroyed in 586 BC. Thus, Judah lasted 136 years longer than Israel. Nevertheless, Philip Hitti in his book The History of Syria, Lebanon and Palestine, says that when Israel vanished, 19 kings had already succeeded to the throne. He adds that Judah also had 19 kings succeeding to its throne. This is interesting because as mentioned earlier, Judah lasted 136 years more than Israel!! In the Jewish religious law, the Israel's Knesset oI today represents what the king in ancient Jewish states. Will the current Israel last 19 Knessets (Parliaments)? DiscoveringIslam.org management team would like to add the following comment: 57 To see a prooI that in Israel, the Knesset reigns like a King, visit the Iollowing page on Israeli Knesset's web site (http://www.knesset.gov.il/history/eng/eng_hist15.htm ), read the Iollowing line: " As with all oI its predecessors Irom the 11th Knesset on, the 15th Knesset reigned for less than four years - three years and eight months. " Today, the current Knesset is the 18th Knesset. Each Knesset oI Israel has lasted 3 - 4 years. based on all the calculations made in this book presented to you on this page regarding the end oI Israel by 2022, and the historical evidence that the Corrupted Jewish states have been ruled by 19 kings and the evidence shown above that Israel does consider the Knesset reigns like a king, it is quite reasonable to conclude that the next Knesset, the 19th Knesset, will be the last one beIore the end oI Israel. Allah Akbar (God is Greater) ! Spread the good news! Elections to the 2nd Knesset (30 1uly, 1951) Elections to the 3rd Knesset (26 1uly, 1955) Elections to the 4th Knesset (3 November, 1959) Elections to the 5th Knesset (15 August, 1961) Elections to the 6th Knesset (1 November, 1965) Elections to the 7th Knesset (28 October, 1969) 58 Elections to the 8th Knesset (31 December, 1973) Elections to the 9th Knesset (17 May, 1977) Elections to the 10th Knesset (30 1une, 1981) Elections to the 11th Knesset (23 1uly, 1984) Elections to the 12th Knesset (1 November, 1988) Elections to the 13th Knesset (23 1une, 1992) Elections to the 14th Knesset (29 May, 1996) Elections to the 15th Knesset (17 May, 1999) Elections to the 16th Knesset (28 1anuary, 2003) Elections to the 17th Knesset (28 March, 2006) Elections to the 18th Knesset (10 February, 2009) 10- The year 586 BC is the date oI the destruction oI the Southern Kingdom oI the Jews known as Judah while the anticipated Iall oI current State oI Israel will probably be in 2022 AD. Thus, 586 ¹ 2022 ÷ 2608 years. This number (2608 years) is 19 times the period between the Iall oI the northern kingdom and the Iall oI southern kingdom (722 - 586 ÷ 136 years): 2608 divided by 136 ÷ 19.17 . Notice that the sum oI digits making up 586 is (5¹8¹6 ÷) 19. Furthermore, according to the Old Testament, the end oI the 59 kingdom oI Judah (Judea) was in the 19th year oI the reign oI king Nebuchadnezzar. We note that the year 722 (the date oI the destruction oI the northern kingdom oI Israel) is a multiple oI 19 (19 x 38÷ 722). II this number is doubled, the result will be 722 × 2 ÷ 1444, which is the number oI lunar years Irom 621 AD (year oI Israa) to 2022 AD (expected end oI Israel). Note that 1444 is equal to 19 x 76 . The current state oI Israel is expected to last 76 lunar years: 2022 AD - 1948 AD ÷ 74 solar years÷ 76 lunar years. 11- Every word in Sura Al-Israa represents one year because the word count oI this Sura is 1556, thus it matches the 1556 years mentioned above. Sura Al-Israa, also called Sura Bani Israel (the Israelites) consists oI 111 verses and it is noticeable that Sura YusuI also consists oI 111 verses. These are the only two Suras in the Qur’an containing this number oI verses. We know that Sura YusuI talks about the rise oI the Israelites and Sura Al-Israa discusses the last existence oI the Israelites in the Holy Land. Every verse in Sura Al-Israa ends with words such as: >-آو ¡Disposer of (your) affairs], ار;-~ ¡Most grateful], ا,--- ¡Numerous in man-power], '---- ¡Mingled crowed]… etc. In other words, there are 111 words |verse endings|. When we take out words that are repeated, we end up with 76 words (which is equivalent to 19 × 4), we should 60 remember that each word represents a year and the number 76 is the Iocus oI our investigation. The verses that contain 19 words are 4; that is, their word count is 19 × 4 ÷ 76. Again, we get the number 76. It occurs to us to check verse 76 oI Sura Al-Israa which reads: َ ن;---- V ً اذإو ')-- َ ك;=,=ُ -ِ - ِ ضرVا َ Qِ - 4-وّ ,ِ --~-َ - اوُ د'َ آ ْنإو Vإ 4->ِ = ً >--- |Their purpose was to scare thee off the land in order to expel thee: but in that case they would not have stayed (therein) after thee except for a little while.| The number 76 comes immediately aIter the word |`,'·|. Does this Iigure signiIy number oI years? Prophecies sometimes appear in a symbolic Iorm that require interpretation as is the case with the authentic visions such as that oI YusuI (Joseph), peace be upon him, or the King's vision in Sura YusuI. The Iollowing are the indications that this is the most likely interpretation: A- Verse 76 discusses the expulsion oI the Palestinians by the Jews Irom the Holy Land and how long the Jews will stay aIter this expulsion. The aim oI this research is to Iind out how long Israel will stay aIter its establishment and the expulsion oI the Palestinians. What is the signiIicance oI the Iact that this is the only verse in Sura Al-Israa to talk about the expulsion Irom the land and length oI stay aIter the expulsion? B- Some would say that the verse reIers to the expulsion oI the Prophet Muhammad صلى الل- علي- وسلم and this is true: but the Iollowing verse reads: " ُ -ِ =َ - Vَ و 'َ -ِ -ُ ~ُ ر Qِ - َ 4َ -ْ -َ - 'َ -ْ -َ ~ْرَ أ ْ-َ - Qَ - َ ªّ -ُ ~ ً >-;ْ =َ - 'َ -ِ -ّ -ُ ~ِ - |(This was our) Sunna (tradition) with the prophets We sent before thee: thou wilt find no change in 61 our ways|. Thus it is a Sunna (tradition) in the past, in the present, and in the Iuture. C- From the root (Iazaza ز¸·), only three words were derived in the Holy Qur’an. It is worth noting that all oI these three words are mentioned in Sura Al-Israa. in the Iollowing verses: 64, 76 and 103. As Ior the verse 64: ;ُ )ْ -ِ - َ ~ْ ·َ =َ -ْ ~ا ِ Qَ - ْزِ ,ْ -َ -ْ ~اَ و |Lead to destruction those thou canst among them…|, it consists oI 19 words corresponding to 19 years as said earlier. The second word, derived Irom the same root, is located in verse 76 which the verse we intend to prove that its verse number ( meaning 76) is the number oI years Israel will last, which is a symbolic interpretation oI the word ( ً >--- which means "a little while". The third word ,derived Irom the same root, is located in verse 103 ً '·--َ = ُ ªَ ·َ - Qَ -َ و ُ -'َ -ْ -َ ,ْ -'َ - ِ ضرVا َ Qِ - ;ُ هّ,ِ -َ -ْ ~َ - نَ أ َ دار'َ - |So he (Pharaoh) resolved to remove them from the face of the earth, but we did drown him and all who were with him.] This verse is Iollowed by verse 104 َ J--ا,ْ ~إ ¸ِ -َ -ِ - ِ -ِ -ْ ·َ - ْQِ - 'َ -ْ -ُ -َ و ً '--ِ -َ - ْ;ُ -ِ - َ '-ْ -ِ = ِ ةَ ,ِ =7ا ُ -ْ -َ و َ ء'َ = اَ ذِ 'َ - َ ضرVا ا;ُ -ُ -ْ ~ا ¡And we said thereafter to the Israelites: Dwell in the Land (of promise) but when the Promise of the End comes, We gather you as a mixed crowd.| (Chapter 17: 103-104). The number oI words Irom the beginning oI the prophecy: و'تينا موسى الكتاب till the Iinal mention oI this prophecy: ِ =7ا ُ -ْ -َ و َ ء'َ = اَ ذِ 'َ -ُ 'َ --ِ -َ - ;ُ -ِ - 'َ -ْ -ِ = ِ ةَ , is 1443 words and coincides with year 1443 H. It should be noted that the number 62 oI years Irom the year oI Israa, 621 AD, to 1443 H is 1444 lunar years (equivalent to 76 x 19). Every word in Sura Al-Israa corresponds to one year. Here is the equation that obtained: the word (ز¸---او ) occurs in verse 64 which a 19-word verse. The word ( 4-وّ ,ِ --~-َ - ) in verse 76 and I intend to prove that this verse number reIers to the number oI years Israel will last. The third word ( -, »ه¸-- )which I have Iound to be the 1444 th word in Sura Al-Israa. Since the Iirst word deals with the number19, this means the beginning oI the equation is 19. Since we will continue to deal with the multiples oI number19, thus the equation will be 19 x76 ÷ 1444. Since the 19 words correspond to 19 years, and since the 1444 words correspond to 1444 years and since the equation is mathematically correct, thereIore the number 76 also corresponds to a number oI years Ior how long Israel will last. I have also noticed that the number oI verses between Sura Al- Fatiha (which is opening chapter in the Quran and considered the most important one) and Sura Al-Israa is 2022; this is an additional conIirmation that Israel will end in 2022 AD (God Willing)!! 12- Sura Israa (Chapter 17), verse 5 says: ِ ر'َ ,ّ ِ -'ا َ لَ `ِ = ْا,ُ -'َ =َ · ٍ -,ِ -َ - ٍ سْ'َ - ¸ِ 'ْوُأ 'َ -´ ' اً د'َ -ِ = ْ»ُ ´ْ ,َ 'َ = 'َ -ْ `َ ·َ - 'َ -ُ هَ `وُ أ ُ -ْ =َ و َ ء'َ = اَ ذِ 'َ · ً `,ُ ·ْ -´ - اً -ْ =َ و َ ن'َ آَ وO ¡When the promise of the first of the two (warnings) came, we sent against you servants of ours of great might. They ravaged your homes/country)…]. 63 The Kingdom was divided and corruption began, and the Egyptians, the Assyrians, and the Babylonians conquered the two kingdoms, but did not overthrow their |respective| kings. In Iact, they kept them on the throne. In the year 722 BC, the Assyrians destroyed the Northern Kingdom ( which was called Israel). Their invasions continued into the Southern Kingdom (called Judea) until Nebuchadnezzar came and captured the nineteenth king called Zedekiah and killed a large number oI people, took many others as captives and destroyed the kingdom oI Judea in 586 BC. The second and last corruption materialized in 1948 AD in one part oI the Holy Land, then was completed over 19 years in 1967 AD. That is to say, the second corruption spread through the Holy Land in two phases. This variance between the Iirst and the second periods is reIlected in numbers. The year 722 BC is the date oI the destruction oI the Iirst kingdom oI Israel, which is the Iirst oI the two kingdoms and Iirst oI the warnings. It was the Iirst to break away and the Iirst to decline; thereIore; it is aptly called the Iirst. 1948 AD corresponds to 1367 H. So, 1368 H years passed since the event oI Al-Israa. By 1967 AD, 1387 H years would have elapsed since the event oI Al-Israa. In the year 2022 AD, 1444 H years will have elapsed since the event oI Al-Israa. Now, let us go back to Sura Al-Israa: |When the first of the warnings came to pass| The serial number oI the 64 word '-ه`وأ (or the Iirst), based on this word's location in the Sura, starting Irom the discussion about the prophecy |We gave Moses the book|, is 38 (which is equivalent to 19x 2). Verse 7 oI Sura Israa says: َ -ْ =َ أ ْنِ إ اَ ذِ 'َ · 'َ +َ'َ · ْ»ُ -ْ'َ -َ أ ْنِ إَ و ْ»ُ ´ِ -ُ --َ 'ِ ' ْ»ُ --َ -ْ =َ أ ْ»ُ -- َ - ْاوُ ¸ -َ -ُ ,ِ 'َ و ٍ ة´ ¸َ - َ ل´ وَ أ ُ -,ُ 'َ =َ د 'َ -َ آ َ -ِ =ْ -َ -ْ 'ا ْا,ُ 'ُ =ْ-َ ,ِ 'َ و ْ»ُ ´َ ه,ُ =ُ و ْاوُ ؤ,ُ -َ ,ِ ' ِ ةَ ¸ِ =`ا ُ -ْ =َ و ء'َ = ' اً ¸,ِ -ْ -َ - ْاْ,َ 'َ = ¡ If you do good, it is for your own good. If you do evil, it for your own detriment. So when the Promise of the End (second of the warnings) comes to pass, (We permit your enemies) to make your faces look bad (to disgrace you) and to enter the Mosque as they have entered it before and to destroy all that falls into their power]. The serial number oI the word (-=وwarning), is 72 and the word ة¸=`ا or the second, is 73. The serial number oI the word ا,'=-,'و (to enter) is 76, which corresponds to the expected age oI the current State oI Israel because each word in the Sura corresponds to one year, and entry is at the time oI the punishment. II we multiply the serial number oI the word '-ه`وأ based on its position in Sura Israa which is 38 by 19, the result will be 38 x 19 ÷ 722, which is the date oI the Iall oI the Iirst Northern Kingdom. II we multiply the serial number oI the word -=و based on its position in Sura Israa which is 72 by 19, the result is 1368 which is the number oI Hijri years Irom Al-Israa to 1948 AD i.e. the year oI the Iirst phase oI corruption started in the Holy Land. II we multiply the serial number oI the word (ة¸=`ا Al- Aakhirah) based on its position in Sura Israa which is 73 by 19, the result is 1387; this is the number oI Hijri years Irom Al-Israa 65 to 1967 i.e. the completion oI the second warning regarding corruption in the entire Holy Land is obtained. II we multiply the serial number oI the word ا,'=-,'و (enter) based on its position in Sura Israa which is 76 by 19, the result is 1444 which is the number oI Hijri years Irom Al-Israa to 2022 AD. The phrase in this verse: »´ه,=و ا,--,' (to make your Iaces look bad to disgrace them) seems to indicate that as part oI God's punishment, God will empower the enemies oI Israel to Iinally win in shattering the Ialse positive image it has established. The numbers tell that this began in 1986 AD!! Finally, note that ِ ةَ ¸ِ =`ا ُ -ْ =َ و (Promise oI the End) is mentioned in the Quran only twice and both in Sura Israa. 13- 1443 H corresponds to 2022 AD. They share 209 days (÷ 19 x 11), as the year 1443 H begins on 8/ 8/ 2021 AD and ends on 28/ 7/ 2022 AD. The overlap is Irom 1.1 to 28.7 AD although 2022 AD is an ordinary year where February is 28 days. The year 1443 H starts on Monday and ends on Thursday; but 2022 AD starts on Saturday and ends on Saturday too. Notice that the 8 th oI August is the Iirst day in 1443, the date the Jews commemorate oI the destruction oI the Iirst Temple!! This occurs in the IiIth month oI the Jewish calendar, which corresponds to the eighth month oI the solar year. 66 14- Muhammad Ahmad Al-Rashid says he believes the whole matter to be related to Haley’s Comet because –according to Al-Rashid- it relates to the Jewish Iaith. This led me to study Haley’s Comet, which completes its orbit in 75 or 76 solar years. I have Iound that astronomers consider the start oI Haley’s orbit when it is in its Iarthest point Irom the sun, |this point| is called aphelion. People on earth see Haley when it is in its nearest point to the sun, which is called perigee. Strangely enough, Haley began its last orbit in 1948 AD. This is Iound in astronomy books. I have consulted many astronomy books to Iind when Haley returns to aphelion to complete its Iinal orbit but Iound no books addressing this issue. So in theory iI each orbit is completed in 76 years then Haley will complete its orbit in 2024 AD. II the orbit is completed in 75 years then Haley will complete its orbit in 2023 AD. My hands happened to Iall on a book (by an Egyptian astronomer) with the title (Microcomputer and Astronomy). Given all the necessary inIormation by the computer, the answer was that Haley will reach aphelion in 2022 AD. Thus there is conIormity between the prophecy and Haley’s orbit (1948 - 2022), which is an amazing coincidence requiring veriIication oI the origin oI this prophecy. Some people saw Haley on 10/2/1986 i.e. when it was in perigee stage it was halI way through a period oI 38 solar years (÷ 19 × 2), iI it maintains the same speed: it will complete its orbit in 76 solar years: iI it started its orbit in the beginning oI 1948 and will complete it at the end oI 2022 AD. It is noticeable that the period Irom 10/2/1986 to the end oI 2022 AD is 38 lunar years (÷ 19 x 2).Thus the total is 75 solar years. It is strange though that the Iirst halI oI the Iirst orbit took 38 solar years and 67 the second halI will take 38 lunar years. Is this some kind oI clue relating to the prophecy? We previously noticed that the solar year was used beIore 621 AD and aIterwards lunar years were used. In other words, beIore Hijra we reckon in solar years and aIter Hijra in lunar ones, as iI the lunar system is particularly Islamic. From the “aphelion” oI Israel to its “perigee” there are 38 solar years, and Irom the rise oI Muslims Irom their nadir to their zenith with regard to the Holy Land there are 38 moon years. The ascent oI Muslims means the descent oI Israel. It is noted that Haley increases its speed aIter 1986 to orbit one year less. Notice the rapid change in the world aIter 1986. These are only observations, and I am aIraid people will mix them with those based on astrological illusions to unveil the unseen. 15- Ian Lustig (1991) in his book Jewish Fundamentalism in Israel (translated by Husni Zainah published by the Institute oI Palestinian Studies, Iirst edition, Beirut, p. 95) states: “This is exactly the kind oI peace that Menachim Begin predicted when he announced at the peak oI the prima Iacie Israeli victory in the war against Lebanon. Israel will bask in what the Torah described as ‘the Iorty years oI peace’." It seems that Begin is reIerring to the prophecy reIerred to in the beginning oI this research. It is known that Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982 AD, thus the end oI those 40 years oI peace will be: 1982 ¹ 40 ÷ 2022 AD. 68 Now, we conclude with Verse 12 oI Sura Al-Israa which comes as a comment on the prophecy: |We have made the night and the day as two (of our) signs: the sign of the Night have We made dark. While the sign of the Day we have made bright that ye may seek bounty from your Lord and that ye may know the number and count of the years' all things have we explained in detail|. Notice the phrase |…that ye may know the number and count of the years.| Our research involves both the number and counting oI the years. Strangely the word |ب'-='او number| is the 19 th word in the verse. We previously said each word corresponds to one year and our research deals with years and numbers on the basis oI number 19. According to Dr. Mustapha ar-RaIi’, the author oI Our Islam, (page 97): “What the author oI Masharig Anwaar Al- Yaqeen, Al-HaIedh Rajab Al-Bersi, states that Ibn Abbas had been quoted as saying is that the clause ¡…all things have we explained in detail…| means we have Iully explained everything by the use oI numerical values oI letters …” So that the reader will Ieel more comIortable with our approach that we call "The Mathematical Interpretation oI the Qur'an". I give an examples oI many that I have Iound as a result oI investigating the words oI some Qur’anic Suras: The title oI Sura Al-KahI shows the importance oI the story oI 'The Companions oI the Cave. The story begins in verse 9: ¡Or dost thou reflect that the companions of the cave and of the 69 inscription…| The length oI their stay is Iound in verse 25: |So they stayed in their cave three hundred years and some add nine (more|. In the language oI numbers, we say they stayed 309 years. Notice that iI we start counting words Irom the beginning oI the story |نأ ---= ما,) | , we will Iind that the word that immediately comes aIter |»+-+آ ¸· ا,`-' وWa labithu Ii kahIihim| |So they stayed in their cave| is the 309th word. The phrase |ة¸=`ا -=و the second oI the warnings| |Al-Akhirah| is repeated in the Holy Qur'an only twice. The Iirst mention is at the beginning oI the Sura Al-Israa and the second at the end oI it. It is clear that the context is the same Ior both. In Iact |the same phrase| ة¸=`ا -=و ء'= اذء'· occurred at the beginning and at the end, which means that the whole Sura talks about the second oI the warnings. I happened to have read an article by Al- Mawdudi in which he inIers the elements necessary Ior building an Islamic state Irom the verses oI Sura Al-Israa, in particular the verse |Whether ye believe in it or not it is true that those who were given knowledge beforehand. When it is recited to fall down on their faces in humble prostration and they say, “Glory to our Lord Truly has the promise of our Lord been fulfilled| Say: Believe in it. i.e. (the Qur'an), we should not Iorget that we are still in the context oI talking about the second warning. There is no reason why the pronoun "it" should not reIer to the warning. This is strengthened by the Iact that the phrase “ --و ل;·--” (IulIilled promise) is mentioned in the Qur'an only three times. “V;·-- ---و ن'آ” (Truly has the promise oI our Lord been IulIilled) appears in Sura Al-Muzzamil and the other two instances are in Sura Al-Israa, The Iirst mention is aIter talking 70 about the Iirst warning which preceded Islam “ ---و ن'آ و V;·--” (It was a IulIilled promise). The second mention came aIter the second warning, when talking about the astonishment oI the people oI the book by the truthIulness oI the divine warning as they say: |Glory to our Lord Truly has the promise of our Lord been fulfilled.| It is striking that Sura Al-Israa ends with |You, Magnify Him for His greatness and glory.| The endings oI Al-Israa point to the victory oI Islam and the embracing oI it by many oI the people oI book. In the Prophetic tradition, Prophet Muhammad صلى الل- علي- وسلم says: as in the verse oI glory is |Say: Praise be to Allah who begets no son and has no partner in His dominion: nor needs He any to protect Him from humiliation: You, magnify Him for His greatness and glory|. I said to myselI: It seems to me that the Sura oI Al-Israa is the one that examines the triumph oI the way oI those on whom Allah has bestowed His grace over the way oI those whose portion is wrath and the ones who went astray. It seems to be a powerIul victory, which leads to world transIormations in line with the position oI |…the land which We have blessed for the nations|. At this point, I Ielt more strongly the need to count the verses Irom the end oI Al-Fatiha: | The way of those on whom Thou has bestowed Thy grace Those whose portion is not wrath and who go not astray| to the beginning oI Sura Al-Israa which I consider as the chapter oI the victory oI the truth. I counted the verses Irom the beginning oI Sura Al-Baqarah to the end oI Sura Al-Nahl (the Sura that appears in the Quran 71 immediately beIore Sura Israa) and Iound them to be 2022 verses (this is another prooI that supports the view that Israel will end in 2022). Numerical Values of Letters & Alphabetical Mathematics BeIore Islam, the Arabs developed a system Ior assigning a numerical value Ior each Arabic letter. Other nations, such as Jews, have also developed similar systems, speciIically Ior their alphabets. Historically, such system were used Ior various purposes such as dating events, etc. The numerical value sometimes is reIerred to as Gematical or Geometrical value. Arabs call such values Jum'mal. Calculating such values can be reIerred to as Alphabetical Mathematics. The Arabic alphabet comprises 29 letters. However, in the Abecedarian alphabet, there are 28 because there is considered to be no diIIerence between the letters Hamza and AliI. What concerns us about this Abecedarian order is the link between it and the Jum’mal numerical values oI the letters. The system is common to both Hebrew and Arabic, but the Hebrew and Abecedarian Arabic systems only coincide up to the letter ت. AIter that, Arabic has the extra letters ث, خ, ذ, ض, ظ and غ which can be combined in the mnemonic (though meaningless) phrase thakhath dathagh. It is not easy trace the origin oI the Abecedarian order and the calculations associated with it in Semitic languages because views on this matter have diverged to such a way that it is 72 diIIicult to decide which is right. The Jewish clergy use it extensively. Muslims have used it in historical dating, SuIis have overused it, and Iortune-tellers, magicians and sorcerers have used it too. Thus, although the calculation may have had a religious basis, it has been abused later. In the Jum’mal, it is noticed that there is no diIIerence between the numerical values oI the Arabic letters "AliI" and "Hamza", because the Jum’mal numerical value is calculated based on the Abecedarian, rather than the Alphabetical, letters. This calculation has been used Ior various purposes – Muslims have used it to date battles, deaths, buildings etc. as mentioned above. Each letter has a numerical value as shown in the table below: LETTERS Letter in Arabic Corresponds to Latin/En glish letter Jum’mal NUMERICA L VALUES ا a 1 ب b 2 ج j 3 د d 4 - h 5 و w 6 ز z 7 73 ح h 8 ط t 9 ي y 10 ك k 20 ل L 30 م m 40 ن n 50 س s 60 ع 'a 70 ف f 80 ص s 90 ق q 100 ر r 200 ش sh 300 ت t 400 ث th 500 خ kh 600 ذ z 700 ض dh 800 ظ zh 900 غ gh 1000 74 Examples of Usage The Iollowing is an example oI how Numerical Values oI alphabets were used by the Arabs Ior dating events. When a poet called Dalenjawi died, his Iriend eulogized him in a poem. He ended the last verse by dating Dalenjawi's death with the phrase --·- ,·~-ا ت'- “Poetry died aIter him.” This came aIter the words “I dated this…” which indicated the point at which to begin counting. Thus, the date oI Dalenjawi’s death is: 40 ¹ 1 ¹ 400 ¹ 1¹ 30¹ 300 ¹ 70 ¹ 200 ¹ 2 ¹ 70 ¹ 4 ¹ 5 ÷1123 H. When Sultan Barquq, a Burji Mamluk, died, a phrase was coined indicating the date oI his death. This phrase was ¸- Q-~--ا (fil-mishmish). |It means, literally: “In the apricot (season)” which is very short, so the implication in current usage at least is oI transience|. It seems that they chose a humorous phrase, but also the numerical values oI the phrase are 80¹10¹1¹30¹40¹300¹40¹300. The total is 801, and thus Sultan Barquq died in 801 H. It is clear that this use oI calculation in chronology is thus not objectionable Irom a religious viewpoint because it is a matter oI convention and is thus permissible. However, the misuse oI this system in the areas oI Iortune telling, magic and sorcery has created negative associations with a system that is not intrinsically negative. Muhammad Ben Omar Nuwawi Al-Jawi, an interpreter, SuIi and ShaIi’i jurist, migrated to Makka and died there in the year 1316 H. He produced many works, one oI which is a two-volume interpretation oI the Qur’an in which he said in 75 the introduction: “I have titled this book to conIirm to its date” – _ى-·- ~~--ا ---- حا,- --=- نا,- . It is clear Irom these words that he chose a title to conIorm to the Jum’mal system to show the date he began writing his book (1304 H). I have cited this particular example to give evidence oI a Muslim scholar’s attitude towards the question oI theJum’mal system and to show that nothing was Iound to be wrong in using such a system, even Ior a book on Qur’anic interpretation. We have used it Ior generations so why don’t we reconsider using it again since we have Iound it to be beneIicial. Another Iamous Qur’anic commentator, Baidawi, says in his interpretation oI the opening oI Sura Al-Baqara that the Prophet صلى الل- علي- وسلم was approached by the 1ews and he recited to them the opening oI Al-Baqara. They calculated the numerical values oI the letters oI the opening and said: “How can we enjoin a religion that will last only seventy-one years?” The Prophet (pbuh) smiled. They said: “Is there anything else?” He said: ,--ا, ,-ا, ç--ا and they replied that he had conIused them and they know longer knew which Faith to Iollow. Baidawi comments on this Hadith by saying: “His reciting to them in this order and his conIirmation oI their inIerence…” Thus, Baidawi considers that the Apostle (pbuh) conIirmed their inIerence. In Shihab’s commentary on Baidawi’s interpretation he says: “ This Hadith was veriIied by Bukhari in his history and by Ibn Jarir through Ibn Issac Al-Kalbi… Its chain oI narrators is weak.” Thus we cannot rely on Baidawi’s conclusion, though on the other hand the Prophet never said anything that denied that Jum’mal had a religious basis. What matters is that there is neither evidence Ior denial nor conIirmation. Although we 76 must be careIul not to assume that we are building on absolutely solid Ioundations, we Iind that conIirmation is more likely in the light oI this weak Hadith. We can prove by deduction that the Qur’an has kept some secrets in certain words and clauses and thereIore, we assume that the Qur’an has used this linguistic convention oI the Semitic languages. AIter all, the Qur’an was revealed in Arabic! Imam As-Syuti thinks that alphabetical mathematics has no place in Sharia (Islamic law) and I agree with as-Siuti's opinion, but on the other hand there is not any evidence to reject this method oI counting. The exception to this was iI magicians or Iortune-tellers use it. It was used by the Jews to interpret the symbols oI their prophecies. Here we are only exploring things without advocating that alphabetical mathematics is the core in the equations. It is convenient Ior us here to present our comments to the reader Irom the point oI view that alphabetical mathematics can be seen as a branch to enrich and dash more light on things and no more. Since language suggests meanings there is no reason to prevent it Irom suggesting numerical values. The question is: How can we know that a certain phrase in the Qur’an carries such a numerical secret? Our answer to this is that this has to be proven either through Islamic legal methods or by reasoning. The reader will Iind that our approach to this question is new and has nothing to do with the SuIis or others, whether they did the right thing or erred and deviated. We are satisIied that the reader will be convinced by the examples oI the Jum’mal system that we will give that are based only on induction and not hearsay. 77 What I am presenting here is the result oI an investigation, which I Iound to be in order with the results oI chapter two oI this booklet. Without the results oI this chapter, it does not mean anything to me. We should notice here that alphabetical mathematics is only a human term and it concludes that many words can have the same number. Consequently, one word or a phrase can denote more than one identity. So, iI a word is used to date the death oI a person: it can also be used to give the name oI a person or a date oI a battle, a solar date, or a lunar date and so Iorth. The writing oI the Holy Qur’an known as Othmanic script is tawqiIi (meaning it is divinely ordained and was supervised by Prophet Mohammad صلى الل- علي- وسلم . This is the opinion oI the majority oI the scholars. This can be easily proven today aIter discovering some oI the miraculous mathematical Iormulae oI the Holy Qur'an. It has become clear tome that there are secrets Ior this kind oI script, not only on the mathematical level but also some oI the secrets can be hidden in words and sentences and can be reached through calculating the numerical values oI letters. This does not mean that every word or sentence contains a secret, but we must investigate and admire the coincidence, which we Iind sometimes. I have many examples oI this, but here I will only use the words and phrases that I have Iound to re-exempliIy the previous equation, which is the main theme oI our topic. The Iollowing are Iew examples oI applying Numerical Values oI Arabic Letters to the Prophecies about the Jews: 78 1. In verse 104 oI Sura Israa: ،ضرVا ا;--~ا َ J--ا,~إ ¸--- ِ --·- Q- '---و ً '---- ;-- '--= ِ ة,=7ا ُ --و َ ء'= اذ'- The order oI the word لفيفا (mixed crowd) iI we start counting the words Irom the beginning reIerence to the prophecy is 1443. We also Iind that the numerical value oI '---- ;-- '--= ِ ة,=7ا ُ --و َ ء'= اذ'- is 2022. As we have come to the conclusion beIore, the current State oI Israel is expected to end in 2022 AD (which is 1443 H in Hijri calendar) 2. The order oI the word لفيفا (mixed crowd) as we have indicated above 1443. This means that the order oI the 4 words that Iollow it ُ -'َ -ْ -َ ,ْ -َ أ _َ =ْ -'ِ -َ و لَ ,َ - _َ =ْ -'ِ -َ و is: 1444, 1445, 1446, 1447. The total oI these numbers is: 1444 ¹ 1445¹ 1446¹ 1447 ÷ 5782 . This is year according to the Hebrew calendar that is equal to 2022 AD and 1443 H. 3. The Sura oI Al-Israa is the chapter that talks about the prophecy oI the second warning as iI it were the chapter oI warning (or promise). The numerical value in alphabetical mathematics oI the word -=,'اAl-wa'ad (which means Promise or Warning) is 111 and this is the same as the number oI the verses oI Sura Al-Israa. 4. The day on which 76 lunar years Irom 10/6/1948 AD (the date oI the Iirst truce which is the eIIective date Ior establishing Israel) will be complete is 5/ 3/ 2022 AD (Saturday, March 5, 79 2022). The days Irom March 5 till the end oI that year is 302 which happens to be the numerical value oI the word Israel in Arabic (إسرءيل) as it appears in Othmanic script oI Quran. Furthermore, the numerical value oI السبت + 5 + 'ذار (Saturday ¹ 5 ¹ March) ÷ 493 ¹ 5 ¹ 903 ÷ 1401 . The numerical value oI ألفان واثنن وعشرون (Two Thousand Twenty Two) is 1401. So the total numerical value oI السبت + 5 + 'ذار + ألفان واثنن وعشرون (Saturday, 5 March 2022) is 2802 which is also equal to the numerical value oI the verse 16 oI Chapter 124 that says: '-ّ -إ ª-- ا;---=ا Q---ا _-- ُ ~-ّ ~-ا َ Jِ ·ُ = ¡The Sabbath was decreed on those who differed about it] . This is the last verse in the Quran that mentions the word Saturday (Sabbath). Note that the number oI years Irom Israa (621 AD) to the year oI the expected end oI Israel (2022 AD) is 1401. 5. The numerical value oI the word |يد`,-Miladi which reIers to calendar years based on the birth oI Jesus| is 95 . So, the numerical value oI 2022 AD (year in which Israel is expected to end) is 2022 ¹ 95 ÷ 2117, which contains 302 Sabbath years (we are going to explain the concept oI Sabbath later). This number (302) is also the numerical value oI the word |.,ء¸-إIsrael|, as explained previously. 80 6. Most scholar believe that Israa occurred on the 76th day oI the lunar year. The number 76 have special signiIicance in connection with several matters in Sura Israa. (a) Al-Aqsa Mosque is reIerred to in the Quran as: الذي بركنا حول- ¡The one which we have blessed in surroundings] . The numerical value oI الذي بركنا حول- is 1063. This is the same numerical value oI يلبثون ¡They remain] which is mentioned in verse 76 oI Sura Israa. This is an indication that the Israelis will remain occupying the Al-Aqsa Mosque and its surroundings Ior 76 years. (b) The numerical value oI يلبثون ¡They remain] is 598. The order oI the word يلبثون in Sura Israa is 1063. So, iI we add these two numbers which are connected to the word يلبثون , we get: 598 ¹ 1063 ÷ 1661 . It is interesting to note that 1661 is also the numerical value oI the term " 1443 -جري " (Hijri) ÷ 1443 ¹ 218 ÷ 1661. As we have indicated beIore, 1443 H (or 2022 AD) is the expected year Ior the Iall oI Israel. 7. The Northern Kingdom oI the Israelites, called Israel, was destroyed in 722 BC. Whereas, the Southern Kingdom, Judah remained until 586 BC. The last king oI the Northern Kingdom was -وشع(Hoshea). The last king oI the Southern Kingdom was 'ّ -ِ --ِ ~ (Zedekiah). Both oI them were the 19th (nineteenth) king in each oI their kingdoms (since the split occurred in the Jewish Kingdom aIter Solomon's death). The numerical value oI ¿~;ه+ 'ّ ---ِ ~ is 586 which is the year 586 BC in which the last Jewish Kingdom was destroyed. 81 8. As we have indicated beIore, Sura Israa discussed the Promise oI the End that will occur aIter the Jews go back to the Holy Land (establish the current State oI Israel), but they spread corruption on Earth Ior the second time. The numerical value oI the word الوعد (Promise) is 111 which is also the number oI verses in Sura Israa. This Iurther conIirms our view that this Sura Israa is meant to reveal the secrets about the second instance oI corruption and the punishment oI God against them, including the year in which this punishment will occur, ending the current State oI Israel. We, at DiscoveringIslam.org, would like to add an observation. The name oI this Sura ءا¸-إ (Israa) is very close to the name .,ءا¸-ا (Israel), both in Arabic and in English. We Ieel this is not a coincidence. Sabbath in 1udaism Bible's Book oI Leviticus says: “The LORD said to Moses on Mount Sinai, Speak to the Israelites and tell them: when you enter the land that I am giving you…For six years, you may sow your Iield, and Ior six years, prune your vineyard, gathering in your produce. But during the seventh year, the land shall have a complete rest, a Sabbath Ior the Lord, when you may neither sow your Iield, nor prune your vineyard. The aItergrowth oI your … harvest, you shall not reap, nor shall you pick the grapes oI your untrimmed vines in this year oI Sabbath rest Ior the 82 land.” AIter giving these details oI the law oI this seventh year, it says in Chapter 26 “But iI you not heed me and do not keep all these commandments, iI you reject my precepts and spurn my decrees, reIusing to obey all my commandments and breaking my covenant …You yourselves, I will scatter among the nations at the point oI my drawn sword, leaving your countryside desolate and your cities deserted. Then, shall the land retrieve its lost Sabbaths during all the time it lies waste while you are in the land oI your enemies, then shall the land have rest and make up Ior its Sabbaths, during all the time that it lies desolate, enjoying the rest you would not let it have on the Sabbaths when you lived there…(Bible- Leviticus 26: 14-35). It is also mentioned that in the Second Book of Chronicles: “…Those who escaped the sword, he carried captive to Babylon, where they became his and his sons’ servants until the kingdom oI the Persians came to power. All this was to IulIill the word oI the LORD spoken by Jeremiah: “Until the land has retrieved its lost Sabbaths, during all the time it lies waste, it shall have rest while seventy years are IulIilled.” (Bible- Second Book of Chronicles 36: 20-21) In the Jewish mind, the Sabbath year is connected with extinction, particularly with reIerence to the Holy Land. I have Iound out that some oI the Jews believe that the World will come to an end in theyear (6000) Hebrew and this is because the seventh thousand means extinction. I thought it would be appropriate to take the number (7) as a mathematical unit and connect it to the alphabetical calculation oI the phrases (ما¸='ا -=--'اAl-Masjid Al-Haram. -=--'ا _-·`ا Al- Masjid Al-Aqsa. .,ء¸-ا ا,--Banu Israel, .,ء¸-ا ¸-- .,ءا¸-ا ¸--Bani 83 Israael, , .,ء¸-اIsrael, ---'اas-Sabt) taking into consideration the diIIerence in value whether written or spoken, keeping in mind that the number oI Sabbath years in (13) years is the same number oI Sabbath years in (7) years until they become 14 years and so on. According to alphabetical mathematics, the numerical value oI the phrase .,ءا¸-ا ¸-- (Bani Israel - means Israelites) is 365 and this is the same as the number oI the days oI the solar year. According to the Othmanic script, there is no ا " " (pronounced as "aliI") Arabic letter in the middle oI the Arabic word Ior Israel ( .,ء¸-ا Israel), so the numerical value oI (.,ء¸-ا ¸--Bani Israel) becomes 364. The numerical value oI the phrase ,-- .,ءا¸-ا (Banu Israel) is 361 (÷ 19 x 19). II it is written in the Othmanic script, the numerical value oI .,ء¸-ا ا,-- Banu Israel is also 361, because the |aliI| which was dropped Irom the word (.,ء¸-ا Israel) was added to the word |ا,--banu|. The numerical value Ior the word .,ء¸-ا (Israel) in the Othmanic script is 302. The numerical value Ior the word ---'ا (Al-Sabt or Sabbath) is 493. The numerical value oI the word ءا¸-`ا (Al-Israa) (name oI Quran's Chapter 17 which is about Israelites) is 294. The numerical value Ior the phrase ما¸='ا -=--'ا (Al-Masjid Al- Haraam or Al-Haraam Mosque which is located in Mecca) is 418 (÷ 19 x 22). 84 The numerical value oI '-·`ا -=--'ا (Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa or Al- Aqsa Mosque) in Othmanic script is also 361 (÷ 19 x 19). We should note that '-·`ا -=--'ا (Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa) was mentioned only once in the Holy Qur’an in Sura Al-Israa which is also reIerred to as Sura oI Israelites. On the basis oI the connection made between the Sabbath years and exodus and the extinction Irom the Holy Land and using alphabetical mathematics, we will use the Sabbath years as a mathematical unit. So, in every 7 years, there is one Sabbath year. In 13 years, there is only one Sabbath year. In the Iourteenth year, the second Sabbath year will occur. As I mentioned earlier, the Iirst extinction oI the Jewish kingdoms occurred in 2 stages, the northern Kingdom (Israel) and later the southern kingdom (Judah) ended in the year 586 BC by the invasion oI Jerusalem and destruction oI the temple. In modern history, Jews captured Palestine in two stages. The Iirst stage was in 1948 AD (when the Jews established the current state oI Israel) and the second stage was the capture oI Jerusalem in 1967 AD. I have also pointed out earlier that the partial establishment oI Israel was in 10/ June/ 1948, which was the date oI the Iirst truce. The truce oI 1967 was also on 10/ June/ 1967. II we know that the destruction oI the temple and Jerusalem in the year 586 BC was on 8/ August/ 586 BC, we would realize that the date 10/June in the years 1948 AD and 1967 AD makes the calculation oI the years Irom 586 BC – 1948 AD and Irom 586 BC – 1967 AD less by two months. 85 So, the number oI Sabbath years between 586 BC and 1948 AD is 361 (÷ 19 x 19) which, as we have calculated above, is equal to the numerical value oI .,ء¸-ا ا,-- Banu Israel and oI '-·`ا -=--'ا(Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa or Al-Aqsa Mosque). The number oI Sabbath years between 586 BC and 1967 AD is 364 which is equal to the numerical value oI .,ء¸-ا ¸--Bani Israel (Israelites). AIter Israel entered Jerusalem, the Sabbath year was number 365 which represents a Iull cycle oI the solar system. The Assyrians destroyed the Kingdom oI Israel in 722 BC and the Babylonians destroyed the Kingdom oI Judah in 586 BC. This indicates Judah lasted Ior about 136 years, covering 19 Sabbath years. The period Irom the destruction oI the Kingdom oI Judah and the Jews leaving Jerusalem in 586 BC to the time oI returning to Jerusalem in 1967 was 2553 years (÷ 364 Sabbath years). II we convert the number into lunar years, we will have 375 Sabbath years. So, the diIIerence is 375 - 364 ÷ 11 Sabbath years. This number "11" is repeated in a striking manner as illustrated below. The approximate diIIerence between the solar year and the lunar year is 365 - 354 ÷ 11 days. On 5 th oI March 2022, the current Israel will have lasted 76 lunar years. As the year 1443 H starts on 8 th oI August 2021, so the last 209 days oI the age oI Israel are the Iirst 209 days oI Hijra year 1443 (÷ 19 x 11). Looking at this Irom another angle, this indicate that the year 1443 H overlaps 209 days with the year 2022 AD. In other 86 words, the Iirst 209 days oI 2022 AD are the last 209 days oI the Hijra year 1443 H. The age oI Israel is 76 lunar years, which is approximately 74 solar years i.e. 10 Sabbath years. When the eleventh (11th) Sabbath year comes, Israel will have ended iI the expectations are true. In each Sabbath, there are 7 complete years. So how much longer is the solar year than the lunar year? It is interesting to notice that the solar year has 76 days more. This number reminds us oI the number 76 in Sura Al-Israa and the verse 76 that talks about expulsion. Whilst verse 77 states that it was a ‘divine law’ both in the past and in the Iuture. I have noticed that the number oI the words in verse 77 is 11. My question is: Is there any relationship between this number 11 and the 11 Sabbath years mentioned earlier, particularly iI we consider the Iact that 77 is equal to 7 x 11? ReIerring back to the Holy Qur’an, I Iound that the word ---Sabbath occurred 5 times as |---'اas-Sabt| and twice as |ن,---,yusbituna.»+--- sabtihim| so the number in total is 7 times. According to the alphabetical mathematics, the numerical value oI the word ---'ا (As-Sabt) is 493. As we have already seen, the Sabbath year is the seventh year, which is preceded by 6 years oI work. Work is supposed to be suspended during the seventh year. So what are the 6 years? I multiplied the numerical value oI |---'اas-Sabt| by 6 and this is the result: 493 x 6 ÷ 2958 and this is the same as the number oI years Irom the beginning oI 935 BC to the end oI the year 2022 AD. 87 Language is a human convention and the divine messages were sent to races in their various languages. I think that dating in Hebraic, Islamic or Christian chronology is a kind oI linguistic convention. So, iI it is said that this year is the year 1993 aIter the birth oI Christ, it does not mean that we are certain that Christ ( peace be upon him) was born 1993 years ago. So we agree on this term, which can be true or untrue, yet we accept it and it becomes appropriate language. Dr Mohammad Ali Al-Bar (1990) in his book God and the Prophets in the Torah and the Old Testament says, “Dr Maurice Buccaille supports the premise that the Pharaoh who was at time the exodus oI Jews was Merenptah (the son oI Rameses II) . He became the king oI Egypt in 1224 BC and ruled Egypt Ior ten years according to one view and Ior twenty years according to another, so the year oI the exodus was either in 1214 BC or 1204 BC ”. We are now (in 1993 AD - this book was written in 1993) in the Hebrew year 5735 and in light oI what has been mentioned, I present you with this striking equation: 1204 BC - the year oI the exodus oI the Jews Irom Egypt 935 BC - the year oI the death oI Solomon (peace be upon him). 722 BC - the year oI the destruction oI the kingdom oI Israel (in the North). 586 BC - the year oI the destruction oI the kingdom oI Judah (in the South). 88 1948 AD - the year oI establishing the current state oI Israel. 1967 AD - the year Israel captured Jerusalem. 2022 AD - the year oI the most probable end oI Israel. A- The number oI Hebrew years beIore the year 1204 BC (exodus Irom Egypt) equals 365 Sabbath years, which is equal to one orbit oI the Earth around the sun. B- From the year 1204 BC to the year 935 BC, there is 38 Sabbath years (÷ 19 x 2). C. ThereIore, Irom the beginning date oI the Hebrew calendar to year oI death oI Solomon, there were 365 ¹ 38 ÷ 403 Sabbath years D- From the destruction oI the northern kingdom in 722 BC to the destruction oI the southern kingdom in 586 BC, there are 19 Sabbath years. E- From the destruction oI the southern kingdom in 586 BC to the second establishment oI the current State oI Israel in 1948 AD, there are 361 Sabbath years (÷ 19 x 19). F- From destruction oI the southern kingdom and the exodus Irom Jerusalem in 586 BC to the return to Jerusalem in 1967 AD, there are 364 Sabbath years. The Sabbath year oI 365 was aIter entering Jerusalem and thereby a Iull solar cycle is completed. It is also the same number Ior the Sabbath year beIore the date oI the exodus Irom Egypt. 89 G- The number oI Sabbath years Irom the death oI Solomon (peace be upon him) to the anticipated extinction oI the current Israel in 2022 AD is 422 Sabbath years. The number oI Sabbath years beIore the death oI Solomon (peace be upon him) as calculated above in "C" is 403 Sabbath years, so the diIIerence is 422 - 403 ÷ 19 Sabbath years. Dear reader, on the basis oI what I have presented to you previously, and to clariIy the equation according to the units oI Sabbath years: 1- From the destruction oI Judah (and exodus Irom Jerusalem) in 586 BC to establishing their current state oI Israel in 1948, there are 361 Sabbath years ( ÷ 19 x 19 Sabbath years) and this the same as the numerical value Ior the phrases | -=--'ا _-·`اAl-Masjid Al-Aqsa| and |.,ء¸-ا ا,--Banu Israel|. 2- From the destruction oI Judah (and exodus Irom Jerusalem) in 586 BC to Israel's capturing oI Jerusalem in 1967, there are 364 Sabbath years, and this is the same as the numerical values Ior the phrase |.,ء¸-ا ¸--Bani Israel| according to the Othmanic script. 3- AIter entering Jerusalem, the Sabbath year 365 became complete in the year 1969 AD, and this is the numerical value oI the phrase |.,ءا¸-ا ¸--Bani Israael| as it is spoken. 4- The date oI entering Jerusalem and the completion oI the Sabbath year 365 both Iall within the multiplicity oI 302 Ior the 90 number 19 according to the Hebrew date. The number 302 is the value oI the word |.,ء¸-اIsrael| in the Othmanic script. 5- We said earlier that in every seven years, there is one Sabbath year. I have noticed that the numerical value oI | _,- ¸,--saba' sineen which means 7 years| in alphabetical mathematics is 302 which is also the same numerical value oI the word |.,ء¸-إIsrael| in the Othmanic script. 6. The numerical value oI the word |يد`,-Miladi which reIers to calendar years based on the birth oI Jesus| is 95 . So, the numerical value oI 2022 AD (year in which Israel is expected to end) is 2022 ¹ 95 ÷ 2117, which contains 302 Sabbath years (we are going to explain the concept oI Sabbath later). This number (302) is also the numerical value oI the word |.,ء¸-إIsrael|, as explained previously. 7- I have already noticed the total oI the numerical values Ior |Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa¹ Al-Masjid Al-Haraam| ÷ 779 ( ÷ 19 x 41). I have also directed your attention to the relationship between the year 779 and the two mosques oI |Al-Haraam| and |Al-Aqsa|. I have also noticed also that the numerical value oI |_'إ ila| in alphabetical mathematics is 41. 8- The Sabbath year is in the seventh year, so what are the 6 years that precede the Sabbath year? II we multiply the numerical value oI the word |---'اas-Sabt| which is 493 by 6, the result is (493 x 6 ÷) 2958. This is the same as the number oI years Irom the beginning oI 935 BC to the end oI the year 2022 AD. 91 9- The ultimate surprise here is that the number 2958 is the total oI the numerical values oI the phrases and words, which we have discussed aIter adding the name oI the Sura Al-Israa which discusses the two instances oI corruption that will be committed by Israelites and God's punishment: ما¸='ا -=--'اAl-Masjid Al-Haraam 418 Written & Spoken. '-·`ا -=--'اAl-Masjid Al-Aqsa 361 Written & Spoken. .,ء¸-ا ا,--Banu Israeel 361 Written & Spoken. .,ء¸-ا ¸--Bani Israeel 364 Written. .,ءا¸-ا ¸--Bani Israaeel 365 Spoken. .,ء¸-اIsraeel 302 Written , it has been calculated as written & spoken in |Bani Israeel|. ---'اas-Sabt 493 Written & Spoken. ءا¸-`اAl-Israa 294 Written & Spoken. Total 2958 92 Four Cycles The diIIerence between the number oI the days in the solar year and in the lunar year is 10.8752 days (about 11 days). This means that the solar year and the lunar year will coincide aIter 33.58487 years. So this cycle takes 33.6 solar years. I have Iound that the number oI years Irom the Iall oI Judah and exodus Irom Jerusalem in 586 BC to re-entering Jerusalem in 1967 makes 76 cycles!! So there are 4 completed cycles aIter entering Jerusalem: A- The solar cycle oI the Sabbath year 365 starting Irom the exodus Irom Jerusalem in 586 BC until 1969, slightly aIter re- entering Jerusalem again in 1967. B- The Carbon 14 cycle: Year 1969 AD coincides with the Hebrew year 5730 and what draws attention here is that this number oI years represents the halI-liIe oI Carbon- 14, which is used by archaeologists in determining the age oI man and human civilizations. Scientists have discovered that the radioactive decay oI Carbon-14 is exponential and has a halI- liIe oI 5730 years. A quantity oI Carbon-14 will decay to halI oI its original amount (on average) aIter 5730 years, regardless oI how big or small the original quantity was. AIter another 5730 years, one-quarter oI the original will remain. C- The 302 th cycle oI 19 years: This 302 th cycle starts Irom 301 x 19 ÷ Hebrew year 5719 (around 1959 AD) and ends in 302 x 19 ÷ Hebrew year 5738 (around 1978 AD). ThereIore, year 1967 AD (in which Jerusalem was captured by Israel) is close to the middle oI this cycle. Since the numerical value oI 93 the word |.,ء¸-اIsraeel| is 302 , that means Israel capturing oI Jerusalem during the 302 th cycle which is Israel's Cycle. That means the laws oI nature were in Iavor oI Israel during that period Irom 1959 to1978 so wonder why Israel won 1967 war so easily and captured Jerusalem and Sinai. D- 76 cycles, each oI which is 33.6 solar years, Irom Iall oI Judah and the exodus Irom Jerusalem in 586 BC to Israel's recapturing oI Jerusalem in 1967 |(586 ¹ 1967) divided by 33.58487 ÷ 76.02 ÷ 76 cycles|. We said that there is a cycle which represents the relationship between the solar year and the lunar year with the value 33.6 solar years. This means that the 19th cycle aIter Christ's birth lies between 604 AD and 638 AD. It is noticeable that the Prophet Mohammad صلى الل- علي- وسلم started receiving the revelations oI the Quran 6 years aIter the beginning oI this cycle i.e. 610 AD. He also died 6 years beIore the end oI the cycle: i.e. in 632 AD. It can also be noticed that the middle oI this 19th cycle is 621 AD, which is the year oI Al-Israa |Prophet Mohammad's صلى الل- علي- وسلم overnight journey to Jerusalem|. 94 Numerical Values of Letters & Alphabetical Mathematics BeIore Islam, the Arabs developed a system Ior assigning a numerical value Ior each Arabic letter. Other nations, such as Jews, have also developed similar systems, speciIically Ior their alphabets. Historically, such system were used Ior various purposes such as dating events, etc. The numerical value sometimes is reIerred to as Gematical or Geometrical value. Arabs call such values Jum'mal. Calculating such values can be reIerred to as Alphabetical Mathematics. The Arabic alphabet comprises 29 letters. However, in the Abecedarian alphabet, there are 28 because there is considered to be no diIIerence between the letters Hamza and AliI. What concerns us about this Abecedarian order is the link between it and the Jum’mal numerical values oI the letters. The system is common to both Hebrew and Arabic, but the Hebrew and Abecedarian Arabic systems only coincide up to the letter ت. AIter that, Arabic has the extra letters ث, خ, ذ, ض, ظ and غ which can be combined in the mnemonic (though meaningless) phrase thakhath dathagh. It is not easy trace the origin oI the Abecedarian order and the calculations associated with it in Semitic languages because views on this matter have diverged to such a way that it is diIIicult to decide which is right. The Jewish clergy use it extensively. Muslims have used it in historical dating, SuIis have overused it, and Iortune-tellers, magicians and sorcerers have used it too. Thus, although the calculation may have had a religious basis, it has been abused later. In the Jum’mal, it is noticed that there is no diIIerence 95 between the numerical values oI the Arabic letters "AliI" and "Hamza", because the Jum’mal numerical value is calculated based on the Abecedarian, rather than the Alphabetical, letters. This calculation has been used Ior various purposes – Muslims have used it to date battles, deaths, buildings etc. as mentioned above. Each letter has a numerical value as shown in the table below: LETTERS Letter in Arabic Corresponds to Latin/E nglish letter Jum’mal NUMERICA L VALUES ا a 1 ب b 2 ج j 3 د d 4 - h 5 و w 6 ز z 7 ح h 8 ط t 9 ي y 10 ك k 20 ل L 30 96 م m 40 ن n 50 س s 60 ع 'a 70 ف f 80 ص s 90 ق q 100 ر r 200 ش sh 300 ت t 400 ث th 500 خ kh 600 ذ z 700 ض dh 800 ظ zh 900 غ gh 1000 Examples of Usage The Iollowing is an example oI how Numerical Values oI alphabets were used by the Arabs Ior dating events. When a poet called Dalenjawi died, his Iriend eulogized him in a poem. He ended the last verse by dating Dalenjawi's death with the phrase --·- ,·~-ا ت'- “Poetry died aIter him.” This came aIter the words “I dated this…” which indicated the point at which to begin counting. Thus, the date oI Dalenjawi’s death is: 40 ¹ 1 ¹ 97 400 ¹ 1¹ 30¹ 300 ¹ 70 ¹ 200 ¹ 2 ¹ 70 ¹ 4 ¹ 5 ÷1123 H. When Sultan Barquq, a Burji Mamluk, died, a phrase was coined indicating the date oI his death. This phrase was ¸- Q-~--ا (fil-mishmish). |It means, literally: “In the apricot (season)” which is very short, so the implication in current usage at least is oI transience|. It seems that they chose a humorous phrase, but also the numerical values oI the phrase are 80¹10¹1¹30¹40¹300¹40¹300. The total is 801, and thus Sultan Barquq died in 801 H. It is clear that this use oI calculation in chronology is thus not objectionable Irom a religious viewpoint because it is a matter oI convention and is thus permissible. However, the misuse oI this system in the areas oI Iortune telling, magic and sorcery has created negative associations with a system that is not intrinsically negative. Muhammad Ben Omar Nuwawi Al-Jawi, an interpreter, SuIi and ShaIi’i jurist, migrated to Makka and died there in the year 1316 H. He produced many works, one oI which is a two-volume interpretation oI the Qur’an in which he said in the introduction: “I have titled this book to conIirm to its date” – _ى-·- ~~--ا ---- حا,- --=- نا,- . It is clear Irom these words that he chose a title to conIorm to the Jum’mal system to show the date he began writing his book (1304 H). I have cited this particular example to give evidence oI a Muslim scholar’s attitude towards the question oI theJum’mal system and to show that nothing was Iound to be wrong in using such a system, even Ior a book on Qur’anic interpretation. We have used it Ior generations so why don’t we reconsider using it again since we have Iound it to be beneIicial. 98 Another Iamous Qur’anic commentator, Baidawi, says in his interpretation oI the opening oI Sura Al-Baqara that the Prophet صلى الل- علي- وسلم was approached by the 1ews and he recited to them the opening oI Al-Baqara. They calculated the numerical values oI the letters oI the opening and said: “How can we enjoin a religion that will last only seventy-one years?” The Prophet (pbuh) smiled. They said: “Is there anything else?” He said: ,--ا, ,-ا, ç--ا and they replied that he had conIused them and they know longer knew which Faith to Iollow. Baidawi comments on this Hadith by saying: “His reciting to them in this order and his conIirmation oI their inIerence…” Thus, Baidawi considers that the Apostle (pbuh) conIirmed their inIerence. In Shihab’s commentary on Baidawi’s interpretation he says: “ This Hadith was veriIied by Bukhari in his history and by Ibn Jarir through Ibn Issac Al-Kalbi… Its chain oI narrators is weak.” Thus we cannot rely on Baidawi’s conclusion, though on the other hand the Prophet never said anything that denied that Jum’mal had a religious basis. What matters is that there is neither evidence Ior denial nor conIirmation. Although we must be careIul not to assume that we are building on absolutely solid Ioundations, we Iind that conIirmation is more likely in the light oI this weak Hadith. We can prove by deduction that the Qur’an has kept some secrets in certain words and clauses and thereIore, we assume that the Qur’an has used this linguistic convention oI the Semitic languages. AIter all, the Qur’an was revealed in Arabic! Imam As-Syuti thinks that alphabetical mathematics has no place in Sharia (Islamic law) and I agree with as-Siuti's 99 opinion, but on the other hand there is not any evidence to reject this method oI counting. The exception to this was iI magicians or Iortune-tellers use it. It was used by the Jews to interpret the symbols oI their prophecies. Here we are only exploring things without advocating that alphabetical mathematics is the core in the equations. It is convenient Ior us here to present our comments to the reader Irom the point oI view that alphabetical mathematics can be seen as a branch to enrich and dash more light on things and no more. Since language suggests meanings there is no reason to prevent it Irom suggesting numerical values. The question is: How can we know that a certain phrase in the Qur’an carries such a numerical secret? Our answer to this is that this has to be proven either through Islamic legal methods or by reasoning. The reader will Iind that our approach to this question is new and has nothing to do with the SuIis or others, whether they did the right thing or erred and deviated. We are satisIied that the reader will be convinced by the examples oI the Jum’mal system that we will give that are based only on induction and not hearsay. What I am presenting here is the result oI an investigation, which I Iound to be in order with the results oI chapter two oI this booklet. Without the results oI this chapter, it does not mean anything to me. We should notice here that alphabetical mathematics is only a human term and it concludes that many words can have the same number. Consequently, one word or a phrase can denote more than one identity. So, iI a word is used to date the death oI a person: it can also be used to give the name oI a person or a date oI a battle, a solar date, or a lunar date and so Iorth. 100 The writing oI the Holy Qur’an known as Othmanic script is tawqiIi (meaning it is divinely ordained and was supervised by Prophet Mohammad صلى الل- علي- وسلم . This is the opinion oI the majority oI the scholars. This can be easily proven today aIter discovering some oI the miraculous mathematical Iormulae oI the Holy Qur'an. It has become clear tome that there are secrets Ior this kind oI script, not only on the mathematical level but also some oI the secrets can be hidden in words and sentences and can be reached through calculating the numerical values oI letters. This does not mean that every word or sentence contains a secret, but we must investigate and admire the coincidence, which we Iind sometimes. I have many examples oI this, but here I will only use the words and phrases that I have Iound to re-exempliIy the previous equation, which is the main theme oI our topic. The Iollowing are Iew examples oI applying Numerical Values oI Arabic Letters to the Prophecies about the Jews: 1. In verse 104 oI Sura Israa: ،ضرVا ا;--~ا َ J--ا,~إ ¸--- ِ --·- Q- '---و ً '---- ;-- '--= ِ ة,=7ا ُ --و َ ء'= اذ'- The order oI the word لفيفا (mixed crowd) iI we start counting the words Irom the beginning reIerence to the prophecy is 1443. We also Iind that the numerical value oI '---- ;-- '--= ِ ة,=7ا ُ --و َ ء'= اذ'- is 2022. As we have come to the conclusion beIore, the current State oI Israel is expected to end in 2022 AD (which is 1443 H in Hijri calendar) 101 2. The order oI the word لفيفا (mixed crowd) as we have indicated above 1443. This means that the order oI the 4 words that Iollow it ُ -'َ -ْ -َ ,ْ -َ أ _َ =ْ -'ِ -َ و لَ ,َ - _َ =ْ -'ِ -َ و is: 1444, 1445, 1446, 1447. The total oI these numbers is: 1444 ¹ 1445¹ 1446¹ 1447 ÷ 5782 . This is year according to the Hebrew calendar that is equal to 2022 AD and 1443 H. 3. The Sura oI Al-Israa is the chapter that talks about the prophecy oI the second warning as iI it were the chapter oI warning (or promise). The numerical value in alphabetical mathematics oI the word -=,'اAl-wa'ad (which means Promise or Warning) is 111 and this is the same as the number oI the verses oI Sura Al-Israa. 4. The day on which 76 lunar years Irom 10/6/1948 AD (the date oI the Iirst truce which is the eIIective date Ior establishing Israel) will be complete is 5/ 3/ 2022 AD (Saturday, March 5, 2022). The days Irom March 5 till the end oI that year is 302 which happens to be the numerical value oI the word Israel in Arabic (إسرءيل) as it appears in Othmanic script oI Quran. Furthermore, the numerical value oI السبت + 5 + 'ذار (Saturday ¹ 5 ¹ March) ÷ 493 ¹ 5 ¹ 903 ÷ 1401 . The numerical value oI ألفان واثنن وعشرون (Two Thousand Twenty Two) is 1401. So the total numerical value oI السبت + 5 + 'ذار + ألفان واثنن وعشرون (Saturday, 5 March 2022) is 2802 which is also equal 102 to the numerical value oI the verse 16 oI Chapter 124 that says: '-ّ -إ ª-- ا;---=ا Q---ا _-- ُ ~-ّ ~-ا َ Jِ ·ُ = ¡The Sabbath was decreed on those who differed about it] . This is the last verse in the Quran that mentions the word Saturday (Sabbath). Note that the number oI years Irom Israa (621 AD) to the year oI the expected end oI Israel (2022 AD) is 1401. 5. The numerical value oI the word |يد`,-Miladi which reIers to calendar years based on the birth oI Jesus| is 95 . So, the numerical value oI 2022 AD (year in which Israel is expected to end) is 2022 ¹ 95 ÷ 2117, which contains 302 Sabbath years (we are going to explain the concept oI Sabbath later). This number (302) is also the numerical value oI the word |.,ء¸-إIsrael|, as explained previously. 6. Most scholar believe that Israa occurred on the 76th day oI the lunar year. The number 76 have special signiIicance in connection with several matters in Sura Israa. (a) Al-Aqsa Mosque is reIerred to in the Quran as: الذي بركنا حول- ¡The one which we have blessed in surroundings] . The numerical value oI الذي بركنا حول- is 1063. This is the same numerical value oI يلبثون ¡They remain] which is mentioned in verse 76 oI Sura Israa. This is an indication that the Israelis will remain occupying the Al-Aqsa Mosque and its surroundings Ior 76 years. (b) The numerical value oI يلبثون ¡They 103 remain] is 598. The order oI the word يلبثون in Sura Israa is 1063. So, iI we add these two numbers which are connected to the word يلبثون , we get: 598 ¹ 1063 ÷ 1661 . It is interesting to note that 1661 is also the numerical value oI the term " 1443 -جري " (Hijri) ÷ 1443 ¹ 218 ÷ 1661. As we have indicated beIore, 1443 H (or 2022 AD) is the expected year Ior the Iall oI Israel. 7. The Northern Kingdom oI the Israelites, called Israel, was destroyed in 722 BC. Whereas, the Southern Kingdom, Judah remained until 586 BC. The last king oI the Northern Kingdom was -وشع(Hoshea). The last king oI the Southern Kingdom was 'ّ -ِ --ِ ~ (Zedekiah). Both oI them were the 19th (nineteenth) king in each oI their kingdoms (since the split occurred in the Jewish Kingdom aIter Solomon's death). The numerical value oI ¿~;ه+ 'ّ ---ِ ~ is 586 which is the year 586 BC in which the last Jewish Kingdom was destroyed. 8. As we have indicated beIore, Sura Israa discussed the Promise oI the End that will occur aIter the Jews go back to the Holy Land (establish the current State oI Israel), but they spread corruption on Earth Ior the second time. The numerical value oI the word الوعد (Promise) is 111 which is also the number oI verses in Sura Israa. This Iurther conIirms our view that this Sura Israa is meant to reveal the secrets about the second instance oI corruption and the punishment oI God against them, including the year in which this punishment will occur, ending the current State oI Israel. We, at DiscoveringIslam.org, would like to add an observation. 104 The name oI this Sura ءا¸-إ (Israa) is very close to the name .,ءا¸-ا (Israel), both in Arabic and in English. We Ieel this is not a coincidence. Sabbath in 1udaism Bible's Book oI Leviticus says: “The LORD said to Moses on Mount Sinai, Speak to the Israelites and tell them: when you enter the land that I am giving you…For six years, you may sow your Iield, and Ior six years, prune your vineyard, gathering in your produce. But during the seventh year, the land shall have a complete rest, a Sabbath Ior the Lord, when you may neither sow your Iield, nor prune your vineyard. The aItergrowth oI your … harvest, you shall not reap, nor shall you pick the grapes oI your untrimmed vines in this year oI Sabbath rest Ior the land.” AIter giving these details oI the law oI this seventh year, it says in Chapter 26 “But iI you not heed me and do not keep all these commandments, iI you reject my precepts and spurn my decrees, reIusing to obey all my commandments and breaking my covenant …You yourselves, I will scatter among the nations at the point oI my drawn sword, leaving your countryside desolate and your cities deserted. Then, shall the land retrieve its lost Sabbaths during all the time it lies waste while you are in the land oI your enemies, then shall the land have rest and make up Ior its Sabbaths, during all the time that it lies desolate, enjoying the rest you would not let it have on the Sabbaths when you lived there…(Bible- Leviticus 26: 14-35). It is also mentioned that in the Second Book of Chronicles: “…Those who escaped the sword, he carried captive 105 to Babylon, where they became his and his sons’ servants until the kingdom oI the Persians came to power. All this was to IulIill the word oI the LORD spoken by Jeremiah: “Until the land has retrieved its lost Sabbaths, during all the time it lies waste, it shall have rest while seventy years are IulIilled.” (Bible- Second Book of Chronicles 36: 20-21) In the Jewish mind, the Sabbath year is connected with extinction, particularly with reIerence to the Holy Land. I have Iound out that some oI the Jews believe that the World will come to an end in theyear (6000) Hebrew and this is because the seventh thousand means extinction. I thought it would be appropriate to take the number (7) as a mathematical unit and connect it to the alphabetical calculation oI the phrases (ما¸='ا -=--'اAl-Masjid Al-Haram. -=--'ا _-·`ا Al- Masjid Al-Aqsa. .,ء¸-ا ا,--Banu Israel, .,ء¸-ا ¸-- .,ءا¸-ا ¸--Bani Israael, , .,ء¸-اIsrael, ---'اas-Sabt) taking into consideration the diIIerence in value whether written or spoken, keeping in mind that the number oI Sabbath years in (13) years is the same number oI Sabbath years in (7) years until they become 14 years and so on. According to alphabetical mathematics, the numerical value oI the phrase .,ءا¸-ا ¸-- (Bani Israel - means Israelites) is 365 and this is the same as the number oI the days oI the solar year. According to the Othmanic script, there is no ا " " (pronounced as "aliI") Arabic letter in the middle oI the Arabic word Ior Israel ( .,ء¸-ا Israel), so the numerical value oI (.,ء¸-ا ¸--Bani Israel) becomes 364. The numerical value oI the phrase ,-- .,ءا¸-ا (Banu Israel) 106 is 361 (÷ 19 x 19). II it is written in the Othmanic script, the numerical value oI .,ء¸-ا ا,-- Banu Israel is also 361, because the |aliI| which was dropped Irom the word (.,ء¸-ا Israel) was added to the word |ا,--banu|. The numerical value Ior the word .,ء¸-ا (Israel) in the Othmanic script is 302. The numerical value Ior the word ---'ا (Al-Sabt or Sabbath) is 493. The numerical value oI the word ءا¸-`ا (Al-Israa) (name oI Quran's Chapter 17 which is about Israelites) is 294. The numerical value Ior the phrase ما¸='ا -=--'ا (Al-Masjid Al- Haraam or Al-Haraam Mosque which is located in Mecca) is 418 (÷ 19 x 22). The numerical value oI '-·`ا -=--'ا (Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa or Al- Aqsa Mosque) in Othmanic script is also 361 (÷ 19 x 19). We should note that '-·`ا -=--'ا (Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa) was mentioned only once in the Holy Qur’an in Sura Al-Israa which is also reIerred to as Sura oI Israelites. On the basis oI the connection made between the Sabbath years and exodus and the extinction Irom the Holy Land and using alphabetical mathematics, we will use the Sabbath years as a mathematical unit. So, in every 7 years, there is one Sabbath year. In 13 years, there is only one Sabbath year. In the Iourteenth year, the second Sabbath year will occur. 107 As I mentioned earlier, the Iirst extinction oI the Jewish kingdoms occurred in 2 stages, the northern Kingdom (Israel) and later the southern kingdom (Judah) ended in the year 586 BC by the invasion oI Jerusalem and destruction oI the temple. In modern history, Jews captured Palestine in two stages. The Iirst stage was in 1948 AD (when the Jews established the current state oI Israel) and the second stage was the capture oI Jerusalem in 1967 AD. I have also pointed out earlier that the partial establishment oI Israel was in 10/ June/ 1948, which was the date oI the Iirst truce. The truce oI 1967 was also on 10/ June/ 1967. II we know that the destruction oI the temple and Jerusalem in the year 586 BC was on 8/ August/ 586 BC, we would realize that the date 10/June in the years 1948 AD and 1967 AD makes the calculation oI the years Irom 586 BC – 1948 AD and Irom 586 BC – 1967 AD less by two months. So, the number oI Sabbath years between 586 BC and 1948 AD is 361 (÷ 19 x 19) which, as we have calculated above, is equal to the numerical value oI .,ء¸-ا ا,-- Banu Israel and oI '-·`ا -=--'ا(Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa or Al-Aqsa Mosque). The number oI Sabbath years between 586 BC and 1967 AD is 364 which is equal to the numerical value oI .,ء¸-ا ¸--Bani Israel (Israelites). AIter Israel entered Jerusalem, the Sabbath year was number 365 which represents a Iull cycle oI the solar system. The Assyrians destroyed the Kingdom oI Israel in 722 BC and the Babylonians destroyed the Kingdom oI Judah in 586 BC. This indicates Judah lasted Ior about 136 years, covering 19 108 Sabbath years The period Irom the destruction oI the Kingdom oI Judah and the Jews leaving Jerusalem in 586 BC to the time oI returning to Jerusalem in 1967 was 2553 years (÷ 364 Sabbath years). II we convert the number into lunar years, we will have 375 Sabbath years. So, the diIIerence is 375 - 364 ÷ 11 Sabbath years. This number "11" is repeated in a striking manner as illustrated below. The approximate diIIerence between the solar year and the lunar year is 365 - 354 ÷ 11 days. On 5 th oI March 2022, the current Israel will have lasted 76 lunar years. As the year 1443 H starts on 8 th oI August 2021, so the last 209 days oI the age oI Israel are the Iirst 209 days oI Hijra year 1443 (÷ 19 x 11). Looking at this Irom another angle, this indicate that the year 1443 H overlaps 209 days with the year 2022 AD. In other words, the Iirst 209 days oI 2022 AD are the last 209 days oI the Hijra year 1443 H. The age oI Israel is 76 lunar years, which is approximately 74 solar years i.e. 10 Sabbath years. When the eleventh (11th) Sabbath year comes, Israel will have ended iI the expectations are true. In each Sabbath, there are 7 complete years. So how much longer is the solar year than the lunar year? It is interesting to notice that the solar year has 76 days more. This number reminds us oI the number 76 in Sura Al-Israa and the verse 76 that talks about expulsion. Whilst verse 77 states that it was a ‘divine law’ both in the past and in the Iuture. I have noticed 109 that the number oI the words in verse 77 is 11. My question is: Is there any relationship between this number 11 and the 11 Sabbath years mentioned earlier, particularly iI we consider the Iact that 77 is equal to 7 x 11? ReIerring back to the Holy Qur’an, I Iound that the word ---Sabbath occurred 5 times as |---'اas-Sabt| and twice as |ن,---,yusbituna.»+--- sabtihim| so the number in total is 7 times. According to the alphabetical mathematics, the numerical value oI the word ---'ا (As-Sabt) is 493. As we have already seen, the Sabbath year is the seventh year, which is preceded by 6 years oI work. Work is supposed to be suspended during the seventh year. So what are the 6 years? I multiplied the numerical value oI |---'اas-Sabt| by 6 and this is the result: 493 x 6 ÷ 2958 and this is the same as the number oI years Irom the beginning oI 935 BC to the end oI the year 2022 AD. Language is a human convention and the divine messages were sent to races in their various languages. I think that dating in Hebraic, Islamic or Christian chronology is a kind oI linguistic convention. So, iI it is said that this year is the year 1993 aIter the birth oI Christ, it does not mean that we are certain that Christ ( peace be upon him) was born 1993 years ago. So we agree on this term, which can be true or untrue, yet we accept it and it becomes appropriate language. Dr Mohammad Ali Al-Bar (1990) in his book God and the Prophets in the Torah and the Old Testament says, “Dr Maurice Buccaille supports the premise that the Pharaoh who was at 110 time the exodus oI Jews was Merenptah (the son oI Rameses II) . He became the king oI Egypt in 1224 BC and ruled Egypt Ior ten years according to one view and Ior twenty years according to another, so the year oI the exodus was either in 1214 BC or 1204 BC ”. We are now (in 1993 AD - this book was written in 1993) in the Hebrew year 5735 and in light oI what has been mentioned, I present you with this striking equation: 1204 BC - the year oI the exodus oI the Jews Irom Egypt 935 BC - the year oI the death oI Solomon (peace be upon him). 722 BC - the year oI the destruction oI the kingdom oI Israel (in the North). 586 BC - the year oI the destruction oI the kingdom oI Judah (in the South). 1948 AD - the year oI establishing the current state oI Israel. 1967 AD - the year Israel captured Jerusalem. 2022 AD - the year oI the most probable end oI Israel. A- The number oI Hebrew years beIore the year 1204 BC (exodus Irom Egypt) equals 365 Sabbath years, which is equal to one orbit oI the Earth around the sun. B- From the year 1204 BC to the year 935 BC, there is 38 Sabbath years (÷ 19 x 2). 111 C. ThereIore, Irom the beginning date oI the Hebrew calendar to year oI death oI Solomon, there were 365 ¹ 38 ÷ 403 Sabbath years D- From the destruction oI the northern kingdom in 722 BC to the destruction oI the southern kingdom in 586 BC, there are 19 Sabbath years. E- From the destruction oI the southern kingdom in 586 BC to the second establishment oI the current State oI Israel in 1948 AD, there are 361 Sabbath years (÷ 19 x 19). F- From destruction oI the southern kingdom and the exodus Irom Jerusalem in 586 BC to the return to Jerusalem in 1967 AD, there are 364 Sabbath years. The Sabbath year oI 365 was aIter entering Jerusalem and thereby a Iull solar cycle is completed. It is also the same number Ior the Sabbath year beIore the date oI the exodus Irom Egypt. G- The number oI Sabbath years Irom the death oI Solomon (peace be upon him) to the anticipated extinction oI the current Israel in 2022 AD is 422 Sabbath years. The number oI Sabbath years beIore the death oI Solomon (peace be upon him) as calculated above in "C" is 403 Sabbath years, so the diIIerence is 422 - 403 ÷ 19 Sabbath years. Dear reader, on the basis oI what I have presented to you previously, and to clariIy the equation according to the units oI Sabbath years: 112 1- From the destruction oI Judah (and exodus Irom Jerusalem) in 586 BC to establishing their current state oI Israel in 1948, there are 361 Sabbath years ( ÷ 19 x 19 Sabbath years) and this the same as the numerical value Ior the phrases | -=--'ا _-·`اAl-Masjid Al-Aqsa| and |.,ء¸-ا ا,--Banu Israel|. 2- From the destruction oI Judah (and exodus Irom Jerusalem) in 586 BC to Israel's capturing oI Jerusalem in 1967, there are 364 Sabbath years, and this is the same as the numerical values Ior the phrase |.,ء¸-ا ¸--Bani Israel| according to the Othmanic script. 3- AIter entering Jerusalem, the Sabbath year 365 became complete in the year 1969 AD, and this is the numerical value oI the phrase |.,ءا¸-ا ¸--Bani Israael| as it is spoken. 4- The date oI entering Jerusalem and the completion oI the Sabbath year 365 both Iall within the multiplicity oI 302 Ior the number 19 according to the Hebrew date. The number 302 is the value oI the word |.,ء¸-اIsrael| in the Othmanic script. 5- We said earlier that in every seven years, there is one Sabbath year. I have noticed that the numerical value oI | _,- ¸,--saba' sineen which means 7 years| in alphabetical mathematics is 302 which is also the same numerical value oI the word |.,ء¸-إIsrael| in the Othmanic script. 6. The numerical value oI the word |يد`,-Miladi which reIers to calendar years based on the birth oI Jesus| is 95 . So, the numerical value oI 2022 AD (year in which Israel is expected to end) is 2022 ¹ 95 ÷ 2117, which contains 302 Sabbath years (we are going to explain the concept oI Sabbath later). This number 113 (302) is also the numerical value oI the word |.,ء¸-إIsrael|, as explained previously. 7- I have already noticed the total oI the numerical values Ior |Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa¹ Al-Masjid Al-Haraam| ÷ 779 ( ÷ 19 x 41). I have also directed your attention to the relationship between the year 779 and the two mosques oI |Al-Haraam| and |Al-Aqsa|. I have also noticed also that the numerical value oI |_'إ ila| in alphabetical mathematics is 41. 8- The Sabbath year is in the seventh year, so what are the 6 years that precede the Sabbath year? II we multiply the numerical value oI the word |---'اas-Sabt| which is 493 by 6, the result is (493 x 6 ÷) 2958. This is the same as the number oI years Irom the beginning oI 935 BC to the end oI the year 2022 AD. 9- The ultimate surprise here is that the number 2958 is the total oI the numerical values oI the phrases and words, which we have discussed aIter adding the name oI the Sura Al-Israa which discusses the two instances oI corruption that will be committed by Israelites and God's punishment: ما¸='ا -=--'اAl-Masjid Al-Haraam 418 Written & Spoken. '-·`ا -=--'اAl-Masjid Al-Aqsa 361 Written & Spoken. .,ء¸-ا ا,--Banu Israeel 361 Written & Spoken. .,ء¸-ا ¸--Bani Israeel 114 364 Written. .,ءا¸-ا ¸--Bani Israaeel 365 Spoken. .,ء¸-اIsraeel 302 Written , it has been calculated as written & spoken in |Bani Israeel|. ---'اas-Sabt 493 Written & Spoken. ءا¸-`اAl-Israa 294 Written & Spoken. Total 2958 Four Cycles The diIIerence between the number oI the days in the solar year and in the lunar year is 10.8752 days (about 11 days). This means that the solar year and the lunar year will coincide aIter 33.58487 years. So this cycle takes 33.6 solar years. I have Iound that the number oI years Irom the Iall oI Judah and exodus Irom Jerusalem in 586 BC to re-entering Jerusalem in 1967 makes 76 cycles!! So there are 4 completed cycles aIter entering Jerusalem: A- The solar cycle oI the Sabbath year 365 starting Irom the exodus Irom Jerusalem in 586 BC until 1969, slightly aIter re- entering Jerusalem again in 1967. 115 B- The Carbon 14 cycle: Year 1969 AD coincides with the Hebrew year 5730 and what draws attention here is that this number oI years represents the halI-liIe oI Carbon- 14, which is used by archaeologists in determining the age oI man and human civilizations. Scientists have discovered that the radioactive decay oI Carbon-14 is exponential and has a halI- liIe oI 5730 years. A quantity oI Carbon-14 will decay to halI oI its original amount (on average) aIter 5730 years, regardless oI how big or small the original quantity was. AIter another 5730 years, one-quarter oI the original will remain. C- The 302 th cycle oI 19 years: This 302 th cycle starts Irom 301 x 19 ÷ Hebrew year 5719 (around 1959 AD) and ends in 302 x 19 ÷ Hebrew year 5738 (around 1978 AD). ThereIore, year 1967 AD (in which Jerusalem was captured by Israel) is close to the middle oI this cycle. Since the numerical value oI the word |.,ء¸-اIsraeel| is 302 , that means Israel capturing oI Jerusalem during the 302 th cycle which is Israel's Cycle. That means the laws oI nature were in Iavor oI Israel during that period Irom 1959 to1978 so wonder why Israel won 1967 war so easily and captured Jerusalem and Sinai. D- 76 cycles, each oI which is 33.6 solar years, Irom Iall oI Judah and the exodus Irom Jerusalem in 586 BC to Israel's recapturing oI Jerusalem in 1967 |(586 ¹ 1967) divided by 33.58487 ÷ 76.02 ÷ 76 cycles|. We said that there is a cycle which represents the relationship between the solar year and the lunar year with the value 33.6 solar years. This means that the 19th cycle aIter Christ's birth lies between 604 AD and 638 AD. It is noticeable that the Prophet Mohammad صلى الل- علي- وسلم started receiving the 116 revelations oI the Quran 6 years aIter the beginning oI this cycle i.e. 610 AD. He also died 6 years beIore the end oI the cycle: i.e. in 632 AD. It can also be noticed that the middle oI this 19th cycle is 621 AD, which is the year oI Al-Israa |Prophet Mohammad's صلى الل- علي- وسلم overnight journey to Jerusalem|. Summary We have noticed that according to alphabetical mathematics the numerical values Ior: |Banu Israel|, |Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa|, |Al- Masjid Al-Haraam|, |Bani Israel|, |Bani Israeel|, |Israeel| and |as-Sabt| were consistent with the mathematical equation oI the history oI the Israelites. They were also consistent with the context, which we talked about in the second chapter oI this book. Those remarks conIirm that we are on the right track in searching Ior a comprehensive law to govern history and monitor its movement. There is no doubt that it is strange that history can Iollow a mathematical law as in the world oI matter, which necessitates that we should rethink the premises oI history and its laws. Is it possible that these laws are Iormed in the Iorm oI words and sentences, which are codes? Is it right to ignore these inductive observations? So that some people will not think we deal with these observations on the basis oI accepting the propositions oI the Old Testament or assuming the truthIulness oI its prophecies, and so that people will not Iancy that because some oI its prophecies came true, they constitute evidence Ior its truthIulness, and in order to keep our study Irom implying that 117 some Torah laws are to be accepted and believed in as Iaith, we would like to stress the Iollowing: 1- Every messenger was sent especially to his own people, but Prophet Muhammad صلى الل- علي- وسلم was sent to the entire humanity. So the Islamic Sharia abrogated all the previous laws. 2- The last verse oI the Sura Al-Baqarah says: |Pray:) Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget or fall into error, our Lord! Lay not on us burden like that which Thou didst lay on those before us. | Here some oI the previous laws may seem strange when compared with the tolerant Islamic Sharia. So what is suitable to one age and to one nation may not be suitable to other nations and ages. 3- The acceptance by Muslims oI part oI the Old Testament as true does not mean that it is all true because we believe that there is some truth in the Torah. We believe that the Torah was ‘doctored’ or distorted but not completely changed. 4- Allah almighty sent messengers and revealed messages and preserves the ones He wishes Ior a reason he knows best and some He wishes to be Iorgotten Ior His own reasons. Look what Allah says: |The unlettered (illiterate) Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (Scriptures) in the Torah and the Gospel…| (7:157). 5- In principle, divine religions should agree in the belieI aspect, because belieIs |come as a result oI| reporting imparted inIormation; thereIore, authentic reports should not diIIer Irom one messenger to another. As Ior the legislative side in the main 118 this should vary according to the variations between nations and ages until the comprehensive universal Islamic Sharia (law) was revealed. Conclusion I did not wish to indulge in these issues, but I Iound my selI Iorced through an inductive process. I believe that it is my duty to present this research to the reader to reach their own conclusions, as I know an inIormer can be more aware than a listener. I do not think that this is the end oI the road; the more I look again, the more I discover new Iindings such as the remarks Ior Iollow up which I appended several days aIter I had Iinished writing this booklet. So I hope that the reader will inIorm me oI anything new in the matter or detect any Iaults that need correction. Allah is the one who led me to success. 119 1aber Bolushi's Conclusions Regarding the End of Israel Jaber Bolushi , a Shia Kuwaiti researcher, agrees with most oI the conclusions oI Bassam Jarrar regarding the end oI Israel in 2022, but Mr. Bolushi makes additional observations as a result oI his own numerical analysis oI the Quran, particularly, Sura Israa (Chapter 17) and Sura Maida (Chapter 5). The Iollowing is a summary oI his Iindings: 1. In Chapter 17 (Sura Israa) oI the Quran, verse 6 says: 'َ -ْدَ دَ ر ´ »ُ ` ْ -َ 'ِ - »ُ آ'َ -ْدَ -ْ -َ أَ و ْ»ِ +ْ ,َ 'َ = َ ة´ ¸َ ´ْ 'ا ُ »ُ ´َ 'اً ¸,ِ -َ - َ ¸َ `ْ آَ أ ْ»ُ آ'َ -ْ 'َ ·َ =َ و َ ¸,ِ -َ -َ و ٍ لاَ , ¡Then we turned to you the power to attack them and supplied you with money (wealth) and sons (or children) and we made you more in manpower (number of individuals/soldiers)] This indicates that the Jews will regain power over whoever destroyed their Iirst independent kingdoms. The Iirst Jewish Kingdoms were attacked Iirst by Egyptians at the time oI Pharaohs, but did not destroy the Jewish Kingdoms. The Iraqi Assyrians destroyed the Jewish Northern Kingdom and later the Iraqi Babylonians destroyed the Southern Kingdom. That is why God allowed Israel to win the battles in 1967 and 1973 against Egypt, but to not invade or conquer Egypt. Then, God allowed Israel, through the U.S., to take revenge against Iraq twice, in 1991 and in 2003. 2. The numerical value oI »ِ +ْ ,َ 'َ = َ ة´ ¸َ ´ْ 'ا ُ »ُ ´َ ' 'َ -ْدَ دَ ر ´ »ُ ` (Then we turned to you the power to attack them) in verse 6 is 67 ( 120 which signiIies 1967 war against Egypt). The numerical value oI all oI verse 6 is 1300 and iI we add to it the number oI verses oI Sura Israa which is 111: 1300 ¹ 111 ÷ 1411 which signiIies the year in Hijri Calendar which the GulI War happened, meaning1411 H (1990 AD). The GulI War started in 11/1/ 1411 H ( 2/ 8/ 1990 AD) . Notice that numbers coincide with each other so closely: 1300 ¹ 111 ÷ 1411 is identical to 11/1/ 1411 H Furthermore, iI we add the number oI words Irom verse 5: اَ ذِ 'َ · ,ُ -'َ =َ · ٍ -,ِ -َ - ٍ سْ'َ - ¸ِ 'ْوُ أ 'َ -´ ' اً د'َ -ِ = ْ»ُ ´ْ ,َ 'َ = 'َ -ْ `َ ·َ - 'َ -ُ هَ `وُ أ ُ -ْ =َ و َ ء'َ = َ ن'َ آَ و ِ ر'َ ,ّ ِ -'ا َ لَ `ِ = ْا ً `,ُ ·ْ -´ - اً -ْ =َ وO ¡When the promise of the first of the two (warnings) came, we sent against you servants of ours of great might. They ravaged your homes/country)…]. to the end oI verse 104: ِ -َ -ِ ' ِ -ِ -ْ ·َ - ¸ِ - 'َ -ْ 'ُ ·َ و'ً -,ِ -َ ' ْ»ُ ´ِ - 'َ -ْ -ِ= ِ ةَ ¸ِ =`ا ُ -ْ =َ و ء'َ = اَ ذِ 'َ · َ ضْرَ `ا ْا,ُ -ُ ´ْ -ا َ.,ِ -اَ ¸ْ -ِ إ ¸ [And We said thereafter to the Israelites, "Dwell in the land (of promise)", but when the Promise of the End comes to pass, We gather you together in a mixed crowd] we Iind that this number oI words is also 1411. 3. The order oI the word ة´ ¸َ ´ْ 'ا (which means attack) in verse 6 Irom the beginning oI verse 2 until the word ة´ ¸َ ´ْ 'ا in verse 6 is 55. The number oI years between the establishment oI the current state oI Israel in 1948 and the invasion oI Iraq by the U.S. (due to the pressure and inIluence oI the Zionists) started in 2003: 2003 - 1948 ÷ 55 years. 121 4. The number oI words Irom ةَ ¸ِ =`ا ُ -ْ =َ و (Promise oI the End) in verse 7 to ةَ ¸ِ =`ا ُ -ْ =َ و (Promise oI the End) in verse 104 is 1371 which is also equal to the number oI years Irom Prophet Mohammad's death in 632 AD until the invasion oI Iraq 2003 AD: 2003 - 632 ÷ 1371 years. 5. The number oI words Irom the beginning oI verse 4: 'َ -ْ ,َ -َ ·َ و _َ 'ِ إ اً ¸,ِ -َ آ ا´ ,ُ 'ُ = ´ ¸ُ 'ْ ·َ -َ 'َ و ِ ¸ْ ,َ -´ ¸َ - ِ ضْرَ `ا ¸ِ · ´ نُ -ِ -ْ -ُ -َ ' ِ ب'َ -ِ ´ْ 'ا ¸ِ · َ .,ِ -اَ ¸ْ -ِ إ ¸ِ-َ - [And We decreed for the Israelites in the Book that they would commit corruption (mischief) on Earth twice and reach high levels of haughtiness. ] until the end oI verse 104: اَ ذِ 'َ · َ ضْرَ `ا ْا,ُ -ُ ´ْ -ا َ .,ِ -اَ ¸ْ -ِ إ ¸ِ -َ -ِ ' ِ -ِ -ْ ·َ - ¸ِ - 'َ -ْ 'ُ ·َ و 'ً -,ِ -َ ' ْ»ُ ´ِ - 'َ -ْ -ِ = ِ ةَ ¸ِ =`ا ُ -ْ =َ و ء'َ = [And We said thereafter to the Israelites, "Dwell in the land (of promise)", but when the Promise of the End comes to pass, We gather you together in a mixed crowd] is 1424 words (the invasion and occupation oI Iraq by the U.S. due to the pressure and inIluence oI the Zionists started in 2003 AD which is equal to 1424 H, in Hijri Calendar) 6.

So when the Promise of the End (second of the warnings) comes to pass, We permit your enemies to disfigure (or disgrace) your faces and to enter the Mosque as they have entered it before and to ravage (destroy) all that falls into their power|. we Iind: (a) the word -ْ =َ و (Promise) (b) the word َ ¸ِ =`اِ ة (the End) The number 19 plays a very important role in the structure oI the Quran and 19 is the number oI letters oI: ;-=,-ا Q-=,-ا =ا ;~- (In The Name oI Allah, Most Gracious, Most MerciIul) which starts most oI the Suras in the Quran and corresponds to the Trinitarian oath oI the Christians (In the name oI the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). The number oI years Irom the establishment oI Israel in 1948 until 1967 war is: 1967 - 1948÷ 19 years. The number oI years Irom the invasion oI Iraq in 2003 until the expected end oI Israel in 2022 is: 2022 - 2003 ÷ 19 years. 123 7. On the other hand, the number oI years Irom the 1967 war against Egypt to the invasion oI Iraq in 2003 is: 2003 - 1967 ÷ 36 years. The number oI words Irom the word َ -ُ هَ `وُ أ' (the Iirst) in verse 5 to the word ِ ةَ ¸ِ =`ا (the End/last) in verse 7 is 36 words. This makes a lot oI sense and reIlects the miraculous nature oI the Quran because 1967 represents the Iirst Promise oI God to Israel and 2003 invasion oI Iraq represents the God's Second/Last Promise to Israel. 8. The number oI words Irom 'َ -ُ هَ `وُ أ ُ -ْ =َ و (Promise oI the Iirst) in verse 5 to the word ة´ ¸َ ´ْ 'ا (which means attack) in verse 6 is 19 words (which reIlects the 19 year period Irom the establishment oI Israel 1948 to Israel's war with Egypt in 1967) . The number oI words Irom the word ة´ ¸َ ´ْ 'ا (which means attack) in verse 6 to ِ ةَ ¸ِ ='ْ 'ا ُ -ْ =َ و (Promise oI the End) in verse 7 is also 19 words ( which reIlects the 19 year period Irom the invasion oI Iraq in 2003 to the expected end oI Israel in 2022). 9. The period Irom the death oI King ( & Prophet) Solomon in 935 BC to the destruction oI the Jewish Northern Kingdom in 722 BC: 935 - 722 ÷ 213 years. The period Irom the destruction oI the Jewish Northern Kingdom in 722 BC to the GulI War in 1990 AD is: 722 ¹ 1990 ÷ 2712 years We discover that 2712 divided by 213 ÷ 12 years (which is equal to 12 year period Irom the GulI War in 1990 to the invasion oI Iraq in 2003) 124 The period Irom the destruction oI the Jewish Northern Kingdom in 722 BC to the destruction oI the Jewish Southern Kingdom in 586 BC: 722 - 586 ÷ 136 years. The period Irom the destruction oI the Jewish Southern Kingdom in 586 BC to the invasion oI Iraq in 2003 AD is: 586 ¹ 2003 ÷ 2589 years. The period Irom the invasion oI Iraq in 2003 AD to the expected end oI Israel in 2022 AD is: 2022 - 2003 ÷ 19 years. We discover that 2589 divided by 136 ÷ 19 years 10. The numerical value oI verse 104 (which is the last verse in which Israelites are mentioned in this Sura - Chapter 17) is 2022 ( which is the expected year oI the end oI Israel): 'ً -,ِ -َ ' ْ»ُ ´ِ - 'َ -ْ -ِ = ِ ةَ ¸ِ =`ا ُ -ْ =َ و ء'َ = اَ ذِ 'َ· َ ضْرَ `ا ْا,ُ -ُ ´ْ -ا َ .,ِ -اَ ¸ْ -ِ إ ¸ِ -َ -ِ ' ِ -ِ -ْ ·َ - ¸ِ - 'َ -ْ 'ُ ·َ و [And We said thereafter to the Israelites, "Dwell in the land (of promise)", but when the Promise of the End comes to pass, We gather you together in a mixed crowd] 11. The order oI the word ْا,ُ 'ُ =ْ-َ ,ِ ' (to enter) in verse 7 Irom the beginning oI verse 2 (the Iirst time Israelites is mentioned in this Sura - Chapter 17) is 76 (which reIlects the 76 year period Israel will last, meaning Irom 1948 to 2022). II we multiply 76 by 19: 76 x 19 ÷ 1444 ( 1444 H is the year in Hijri calendar which is equivalent to the expected year oI the end oI Israel in 2022 AD). 12. In Sura Maida (Chapter 5), The number oI words Irom verse 1 to ِ ضْرَ 'ْ 'ا ¸ِ · َ ن,ُ +,ِ -َ , (wander around in the Earth, as lost people) 125 in verse 26 is 722 words (This signiIies the year in which Jewish Northern Kingdom was destroyed in 722 BC). II we multiply: 722 x 2 ÷ 1444 (We know that 1444 H is the expected year oI the end oI Israel, expressed in Hijri calendar, which is equivalent to 2022 AD). 13. The number oI verses Irom the beginning oI verse 27 in Sura Maida (Chapter 5) to the end oI Sura Israa (Chapter 17) is 1445. We know that 1445 is the number oI years Irom the Israa (Prophet Mohammad's صلى الل- علي- وسلم miraculous over- night journey Irom Mecca to Jerusalem) to the expected end oI Israel in 2022. 14. The number oI letters in Sura Maida (Chapter 5) Irom the beginning oI verse 12 (which discusses Allah's covenant with the Israelites) to the end oI verse 26 (which discusses God's punishment oI the Israelites Ior their Iirst corruption) is 1557 letters. This is equal to the number oI years Irom the death oI Solomon (which signiIies beginning oI the Iirst corruption committed by the Israelites) in 935 BC to the Hijra (migration oI Prophet Mohammad صلى الل- علي- وسلم Irom Mecca to Medina) in 622 AD: 935 ¹ 622 ÷ 1557 years. 15. Jaber Bolushi believes the exact date oI the end oI Israel will be August 7, 2022 (7/ 8/ 2022 AD). In Sura Israa (Chapter 17), verse 7 mentions that the Muslims will enter again the Al-Aqsa Mosque: 126 -َ -ْ =َ أ ْ»ُ --َ -ْ =َ أ ْنِ إ ْ»ُ ´َ ه,ُ =ُ و ْاوُ ؤ,ُ -َ ,ِ ' ِةَ ¸ِ ='ْ 'ا ُ -ْ =َ و َ ء'َ = اَ ذِ 'َ · 'َ +َ 'َ · ْ»ُ -ْ'َ -َ أ ْنِ إَ و ْ»ُ ´ِ -ُ --َ 'ِ ' ْ»ُ - اً ¸,ِ -ْ -َ - ْاْ,َ 'َ = 'َ - ْاوُ ¸ّ ِ -َ -ُ ,ِ 'َ و ٍ ة´ ¸َ - َ ل´وَ أ ُ -,ُ 'َ =َ د 'َ -َ آ َ -ِ =ْ -َ -ْ 'ا ْا,ُ 'ُ =ْ-َ ,ِ 'َ وO |If you do good, you do good for your own selves, and if you do evil, it is for yours (your selves). So when the Promise of the End (second of the warnings) comes to pass, We permit your enemies to disfigure (or disgrace) your faces and to enter the Mosque as they have entered it before and to ravage (destroy) all that falls into their power|. Jaber Bolushi believes the Iollowing statement in this verse regarding God's punishment is crucial to decoding the exact date Muslim will conquer Jerusalem and enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque in 2022: ا ُ -ْ =َ و َ ء'َ = اَ ذِ 'َ ·ْا,ُ 'ُ =ْ-َ ,ِ 'َ و ْ»ُ ´َ ه,ُ =ُ و ْاوُ ؤ,ُ -َ ,ِ ' ِ ةَ ¸ِ ='ْ ' (So when the Promise of the End (second of the warnings) comes to pass, We permit your enemies to disfigure (or disgrace) your faces and to enter) .This statement, as it appears in the Quran in Arabic, consists oI 7 words. The word ْا,ُ 'ُ =ْ-َ ,ِ 'َ و (to enter) consists oI 8 letters. So, in Jaber Bolushi's opinion, this could signiIy that the exact date oIconquering Jerusalem and entering the Al-Aqsa Mosque is likely to be 7/ 8/ 2022 (August 7, 2022) which is 10 Muharram 1444 H in Hijri calendar. Muharram is the Iirst month in the Hijri Calendar. The day 10 Muharram is also reIerred to by Muslims as Ashoura. Prophet Mohammad صلى الل- علي- وسلم asked Muslims to Iast during that day every year because to honor Prophet Moses (peace be upon him). This is also the day on which Imam Al-Hussain was killed. This day is also a Jewish holiday called Tisha B' Av ( means 9th day oI the Jewish month oI Av in Hebrew calendar) which is considered by the Jews as the saddest day in their history. 127 According to Mishnah (Oral Torah, the Iirst major work oI Rabbinic Judaism), the day commemorates Iive sad events that occurred on this day: 1. The twelve spies sent by Moses to observe the land oI Canaan returned Irom their mission. Only two oI the spies, Joshua and Caleb, brought a positive report, while the others spoke disparagingly about the land. The majority report caused the Israelites to cry, panic and despair oI ever entering the "Promised Land". For this, they were punished by God that their generation would not enter the land. Because oI the Israelites' lack oI Iaith, God decreed that Ior all generations this date would become one oI crying and misIortune Ior their descendants, the Jewish people. (see Numbers Ch. 13–14) 2. The First 1ewish Temple built by King Solomon was destroyed by the Babylonians led by Nebuchadnezzar in 586 BC. The people oI Judah (Judea), the Jewish Southern Kingdom, were sent into the Babylonian exile. 3. The Second 1ewish Temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD (CE), scattering the people oI Judah and commencing the Jewish exile Irom the Holy Land. (According to the Talmud in tractate Ta'anit, the destruction oI the Second Temple began on the ninth and was Iinally consumed by the Ilames the next day on the Tenth oI Av.) 4. The Jewish Bar Kokhba's revolt against Rome Iailed in 135 AD (CE). Simon bar Kokhba was killed, and the Jewish city oI Betar was destroyed. 128 5. Following the Roman siege oI Jerusalem, the razing oI Jerusalem occurred the next year. A Temple Ior an idol was built to replace the Jewish Temple. Tisha B' Av is also designated by Jews as mourning day Ior the Iollowing calamities: • Expulsion oI the Jews Irom England in 1290 AD. • The Alhambra Decree oI 1492 AD, expelling the Jews Irom Spain, took eIIect on the 7th oI Av (just two days beIore Tisha B'Av). • In 1914 AD, Tisha B'Av was August 1st, the day Germany declared war on Russia and the Swiss army mobilized. World War I caused unprecedented devastation across Europe and set the stage Ior World War II and the Holocaust. • On the eve oI Tisha B'Av 1942 AD, the mass deportation began oI Jews Irom the Warsaw Ghetto, en route to Treblinka. • On the day aIter Tisha B'Av in 2005 AD, Israel began the expulsion oI Gush KatiI residents in the Gaza Strip. The expulsion was pushed back by a day, so as not to coincide with Tisha B'Av. • The Second Israeli war against Lebanon which was a major upset to Israel because Israel was not able to Iree the Israeli soldiers that were held by HizbAllah. Despite the heavy damage to the inIrastructure oI Lebanon, civilian homes and the casualties among Lebanese civilians, HizbAllah survives and retained most oI its power. The war took place in the three weeks leading up to Tisha B'Av in July 2006 AD. 129 Apology The idea of this study matured shortly before the deportation of a number of Islamic activists, including myself, by Israel on 17 December 1992. However, I was able to write it down in this brief book while in exile near the village of Marj Ezzuhoor in South Lebanon. Under those conditions I was unable to go through the formalities of consulting sources and references beyond those available in that desolate place. ا ا ا In The Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful َ ْ ُ ْ َ َ َ َِ َا َ ء و ْ ُ ا ِ َة ِ َ ُ ُواْ و ُ ه ُ ْ إنْ أ ْ َ ُ ْ أ ْ َ ُ ْ َِ ُ ِ ُ ْ وإنْ أ َ َِ َ َ ِ َ ُ ؤ ِ َ ذ وِ َ ْ ُُ اْ ا ْ َ ْ ِ َ آ َ د َُ ُ َول َ ة وِ ُ َ ُواْ َ ََ ْاْ َ ْ ِ ًا َ ٍ َ أ َ َ َ [If you do good, you do good for your own selves, and if you do evil, it is for yours (your selves).

The Biography of the Prophet’s companions is the best testimony to this claim. besides this. which says: “The Hour will not come until Muslims fight the Jews…. 5 . remove despair from hearts. It is not the intention of this book to discuss at length the wisdom behind foretelling the future and the role it plays in people’s lives. On that Day shall the believers rejoice. Though this view makes sense at the reasoning level it is far from reality because prophecies have proven to boost the morale. I have been given Caesar’s (Roman Emperor) keys. but they are not his final goal. Humans must not oscillate between fear and hope." We must not let people come to the point of absolute despair: [ و َ َ َْ ُ اْ ِ روْح ا ّ ِ إ ُ َ َ َْس ِ روْح ا ّ ِ إ ا ْ َ ْم ا ْ َ ِ ُونNo one َ ُ ِ ِ ُ ِ ِ َ despairs of Allah’s soothing Mercy except those who have no faith. Today people have become so despondent that they automatically respond with the catchphrase “What’s the alternative?!” Against such a reality we ought to carefully improve their morale to such an extent that they will not be inclined towards sorcery and fortune telling because Islam is aware against all kinds of divination. what could I reap if by doing so I have lost my soul?! This life is a life of trial and temptation and not an everlasting abode for requital. ً َ َ وأ ِ ا ْ َ َ ُ ا ََ ا ِ َ ِ ََ ْ َ ْ َ ه ء ُ ََ ِ َ ْ ِ َ ُ ْ ِ ِ و َ ُ ْ ِضْ َ ذآ ِ ر ِ َ ُْ ْ ُ َ َا ً َ َ ًا َ ِْ َ [If they (the pagans) had only remained on the (right) Way.

We should certainly have bestowed on them rain in abundance that We might test them thereby…] (72:16-17). for they are neither in despair nor feeling over-confident. so Prophet Mohammad ملسو يلع للا ىلصannounced: “…Allahu Akbar. I have been given Kisra's (King of Persia) keys… Allahu Akbar. There is a spectacular mathematical configuration and a consequential miracle. We then supplement it with a new approach based on the world of numbers which we will call “mathematical interpretation” or “numerical interpretation”.] (58:21) I did my best to leave this trust to the custody of Muslim scholars 7 . No one can separate us from seeing what God wills to disclose of His precious Book. The matter is inductive and mathematical. I introduced the reader to what is right and what is wrong in the theme of number 19 in the Holy Qur’an. the first edition of which appeared in 1991. I was able to produce the second edition in Marj Ezzuhoor. Talk of number 19 and the debate and doubts it has raised requires some detail which I have delineated in my book The Miracle of Nineteen between the Backwardness of Muslims and the Deviations of Pretenders. after discussing the essence of the research of Rashad Khalifa and the part of his thinking that was true. The obvious question is: Why number 19?! It is a long story. It is expected that the book will be published by Dar Ennafa’es.In this book we try to interpret the Qur’anic prophecy mentioned in Sura 17 according to the surface structure of the text and in conformity with historical reality. Then. Beirut soon. [Allah has decreed that it is I and My messengers who must prevail. That path was signposted 19 and the reader will find that number 19 is the basis of this interpretation. not subject to hearsay or to the whims of “those in whose hearts is perversity”. including the Bahais and others. I believe that numbers will surprise the reader as they did me when they led me down an unexpected path. with Allah’s help. In that work. Chapter 2 is a numerical interpretation of this prophecy along the lines of the interpretation in Chapter 1. The first chapter is an interpretation of the Qur’anic prophecy in Sura 17 pertaining to the decline of the state of Israel in the blessed land in the past and. with the addition of mathematical evidence.because I know this matter is beyond the capacity of an individual or even a group. This book comprises two chapters. Bassam Jarrar 5 August 1993 Marj Ezzuhoor-South Lebanon 8 . There is also evidence to show that this number is the foundation of astronomy. Those who have read the book devoted to number 19 will clearly perceive that the historical equation in this book is based on number 19. This is a new approach. I have great hope that firm-willed people will shoulder the responsibility so that Muslims and all humanity will enjoy the blessing.connected to the Qur’anic words and letters . significantly. which we hope to serve as a key to further blessings.based on number 19. You will be surprised to discover in this booklet that this number is also a historical law. in the future. To those who have not read the book I say that there is an astonishing mathematical structure . Despite its condition at that time. a status that will remain until the Day of Judgment. Jerusalem. In this journey of one night .CHAPTER ONE One year before the Hijra (means migration) of the Prophet Muhammad ملسو يلع للا ىلصfrom the city of Mecca to the city of Medina. When the Roman emperor Titus destroyed their second temple. At the time of the Apostle’s night 9 . He set off from […that at Bakka (Mecca) full of blessing…] to that [whose precincts We did bless. During that time. Jerusalem was under the Romans and Al-Aqsa mosque was nothing but ancient deserted ruins. chased away the Jews and dispersed them throughout the Roman Empire.] At the time of this journey. the Jews had no significant existence in Mecca nor had they had any existence in Jerusalem since 135 AD. or residence in. Prophet Muhammad يلع للا ىلص ملسوvisited the Holy Land and Al-Aqsa Mosque […whose precincts God has blessed]. plowed its ground. Al-Aqsa retained its special status as a mosque. he had prohibited their return to.] It was a journey from [the first house of worship appointed for men] to the [second house of worship appointed for men. the event of the Israa and Mi’raj occurred. a period long enough to make people forget that the Jews had ever lived in the blessed land. but also known as Sura Bani Israel) were revealed.When the second of the warnings came to pass.. the opening verses of Sura 17 (formally called Sura Israa. What is noticeable is that the entire event of Israa and Mi’raj is contained in a single verse: [Glory to God Who took His servant for a journey by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque whose precincts We did bless. Which interpreter would suspect that the second Jewish state had not yet come?! Even if it had occurred to him. in order that We might show him some signs: for He is the One who heareth and seeth all things... the Abbasid. And We gave clear warning to the Israelites in the Book [Torah].. would he have been emotionally 10 . and this incident and that visit?! What is the relationship between the prophecy that came in the Torah nearly 1800 years before and this event?! Does anyone expect that the early interpreters had ever envisioned a return of a state for the Jews in the blessed land?! The Ummayad. it had been 500 years since these events.. [commanding]: “Take not other than Me as Disposer of your affairs.”... that twice would they do mischief on the earth.] This is followed by: [We gave Moses the Book and We made it a Guide to the Israelites.journey.When the first of the warnings came to pass. and the Ottoman empires were superpowers in their own respective times. ] What is the relationship between Moses and the Israelites.. After the event of Israa. we are trying to approximate the truth. Hence. their corruption will crop up again.prepared to record such a prophecy which predicted the fall of Jerusalem into the hands of those alienated. homeless and oppressed Jews?! Thus we find the early commentators on the Qur’anic text indicate that both aspects of the prophecy of the Torah referred to in the above verses had already taken place. God decreed in the Torah that the Israelites would enter the blessed land of Palestine and establish their own state. In the end. centuries before Islam. the most credible interpreter of authentic prophecies is reality because a truthful prophecy must come true in reality. but we do not have the alternative that makes our interpretation closer to the truth. Here we do not give full credibility to history because it is known to us that conjecture is the rule in history. we find that many contemporary interpreters maintain that the second state is that of 1948. They will then indulge in corruption so great that Allah will punish them for it by sending unto them another people who will invade their homeland. Allah will send unto them the same people who will kill and destroy whatever fell under their power. but at the same time we are aware of its weakness and its deviance from the truth. Therefore. people of today can understand why those interpreters adopted that approach. Here is an illustration of that: 11 . we have to rely on history as much as possible to reach an understanding in line with the surface structure of the Qur’anic text so as to avoid resorting to the type of interpretation referred to by early and contemporary commentators. Hence. Thereby the promise of entry and establishing a community of the people of Israel was fulfilled. led by their new leader Joshua Bin Noon: ِ َ َ ْم ادْ ُُ ا ا َرْض ا ُ َ َ َ ا َ ِ [ آ ْ َ َ َِ ُ ا َ ِ ِ َآَ َ َ ا ّ ُ َ ُ ْ و َ َ ْ َ وا ََ أدْ َ رO my people! Enter ِ َ َ ُ the Holy Land. it nevertheless described him as a righteous person. and his heart was not wholly devoted to the LORD his God. For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians and after Milcom the detestable idol of the Ammonites. we find the First Book of Kings of Old Testament opens with the description of David’s old age and death. the Israelites entered the Holy Land. and did not follow the LORD fully. yet we have a different perception of him. as David his father had done. Although the Old Testament ascribed to King David deeds inappropriate to his rank. which Allah hath assigned unto you. ] (Kings 11 : 4-6) Although we. agree with the scribes of the Old Testament that David indeed had a son called Solomon who had great wisdom and became a king after his father’s death. contrary to his son and successor Solomon (peace be upon him). his wives turned his heart away after other gods. as Muslims. as the heart of David his father had been. The Prophet–King David conquered Jerusalem and established a Kingdom. …] (Qur’an 5: 21).When Moses died. His image is as described in the Holy Qur’an: ٌ [ ووه ْ َ ِ َا ُود َُ ْ َ ن ِ ْ َ ا ْ َ ْ ُ إ ُ َواTo David We ِ أ ب َ َ و َََ 12 . Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the LORD. It is stated in First Book of Kings in the Bible that: [ For when Solomon was old. in a special way. remained under the rule of Rahaboam (Rahba’am). It is important to note here that a sinful deed results in a humiliating punishment for the 13 . emerged the Kingdom of Israel in the north and the Kingdom of Judah (Yahotha) in the south with Jerusalem as its capital. when the Prophetic kingdom was divided into two clashing states. how excellent in Our service ever did he turn. we see how God used the Assyrians and the Babylonians to punish the deviated and corrupt people of the two kingdoms.and in this book. It is stated in the introduction to the Second Book of Kings: “… In 722 BC. Corruption spread throughout the two kingdoms and the land was invaded by enemies who raided the two kingdoms in waves of attacks started by the Egyptians. can conclude that corruption in the first Kingdom started to appear after Solomon’s death. In the prologue to the First Book of Kings[2] it is stated: “The First Book of Kings indicates. Judah (Yahotha). Solomon’s son. ten of the eleven tribes of the Israelites rebelled and appointed Jeraboam (Yarba’am Bin Nabat) as a king of Israel in the north. therefore. and in 586 BC..gave Solomon.. Corruption and moral degradation spread.] (Quran 38: 30) One. the drastic effect of the social corruption on the spiritual life of the nation. the Babylonian Army marched onto the Kingdom of Judah (Yahotha) in the South and annihilated it. the Assyrians took the lead on themselves and so did the Babylonians who came from the Euphrates area.” Following the death of King Solomon in 935 BC. Thus. the Assyrians attacked the Northern Kingdom of Israel and destroyed it. Only one tribe. the Israelites tried in vain to restore the former glory of their vanished kingdoms. we find the history books agree that the disappearance of the Southern Kingdom of Judah (Yahotha) marks the complete vanishing of the last independent Jewish state. With this in mind.nation and on the contrary. which is the same chapter that talks about the event of Israa and Mi’raj. Therefore. So.” It can be noticed that the Northern Kingdom contained most of the nation (10 tribes) and they were responsible for the rupture of Solomon’s state and for the disunity in the integrated nation.’ 14 . it was revealed again in the Qur’an. The Second Book of Kings confirms that God does not punish a people before giving them guidance and warnings. The prophecy relating to the rise and fall of the state of Israel was first revealed in the Torah. That is why God punished them by destroying the northern Kingdom 136 years before the southern Kingdom of Judah (Yahotha). after nearly 1800 years. a righteous deed results in God blessings. He sent his Prophets first to guide the nations and to give them ample warnings of the Lord’s punishment. What is the reason for this second revelation? The reference to the prophecy in the Holy Qur’an comes in Sura 17. WHERE? Then. Some of their revolts against their enemies did not go beyond a limited autonomy and or a self-rule under the Roman Empire. one would argue: ‘Had the prophecy been completely fulfilled before Islam. After the extinction of the two states. then it would have been difficult to understand its association in the Qur’an with the journey of Israa and Mi’raj. This state was not reborn for the second time until 1948 AD. .However. verse 93 and chapter 19. The Children of Prophet Israel were 12 sons. When Promise of the first (of warnings) was due.and the second part will take place in the future time of Muslims. from whom descended the 12 known tribes of the Semitic people of the people of Israel. and it was a warning fulfilled. This is also understandable especially when we are witnessing the second existence of a powerful Israeli state (the second rise). the Torah.e.. the name given to Prophet Yaqoub (Jacob) as indicated in the Holy Qur’an (chapters 3.

Here is an illustration of the matter: 1.. . Note that the words [ ] د ، دي، دك، دin the preceding verses show that the intended audience is all mankind and not only the believer..... A people may indeed be defeated by an enemy more devious than them.... therefore they will not triumph over us.. Doth God warn off His servants: ”O My servants! Then fear Me!] (Quran 39:16).] (Quran 42:42). or did they stray from the path themselves. For God is Assuredly with respect to His servants.. even if we do wrong...

It is thou that wilt judge between Thy servants.“... We read the following verses in the Holy Qur’an: [. We guide such of Our Servants as We will. [.. and it was a warning fulfilled.. The specific reference to [Our servants] in Sura Israa (17: 5) is meant to highlight their forthcoming characteristic [given to 18 .] (Quran 25:17).. well acquainted and fully observant. 3.. [. [. .

Another piece of evidence that [Our servants] refers to both believers and non-believers alike can be found in one of the Prophet Muhammad’s ملسو يلع للا ىلصsayings narrated in Saheeh Muslim's Book of Fitan regarding Gog and Magog: “.. the topic shifts to his intelligence. They entered the very inmost part of your homes.terrible warfare].. The Arabic word “ا fa’jaasoo“ is used here to describe the intensity of the destruction resulting from their entry into the homes of the Israelites. while if one says.. “A son of mine is clever”. God revealed to Jesus (peace be upon him): I have let out servants of mine ( Gog and Magog) that no one has the ability to fight them.. and while he was as such.. If one for example says: “My son is clever” then the topic of this sentence is son.]: No one should assume that this attribute is confined to Muslims as indicated in [.. one can imagine what an invading people with intense fighting capability and with no faith or mercy in their hearts would do to their victims.

This. 2. so did the intensity of the enemies’ destruction until the Northern kingdom (called Israel) was destroyed by the Assyrians completely in the year 722 BC. as described in the Qur’an. Non-believers carried out back and forth skirmishes and attacks: the Egyptians. The three attacking nations were. Those who study history notice the following: 1. they kept 20 . (In fact. The enemies' skirmishes and attacks continued against the Southern Kingdom (called Judah) despite some corrective measures especially those introduced by Yoshia (Josiah) in the year 621 BC[6] until it was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BC. Thus we note the accuracy of Qur’anic expression using an indefinite noun: “ داservants” which is a general term that may include those who don’t believe in God (Kafirs). This was followed by the invasion of the Egyptians. then the Assyrians then the Babylonians. Thereby. following the death of King Solomon in the year 935 BC. The armies of the attacking nations entered the very innermost parts of the homes of the people of Israel. And when the scale of corruption increased. Assyrians and the Babylonians. ten of the twelve Jewish tribes were either killed or taken as slaves. without disrupting the infrastructure of their society.As mentioned earlier. the corruption began when the Kingdom of the Israelites split into two main kingdoms. strong and immensely powerful as testified by many historical narratives. 3. This marked the end of the last independent kingdom of the Israelites. in stages. was destroyed in the year 586 BC. The first prophecy had been accomplished following the disappearance of the two kingdoms. the 19th king of Judah. The southern kingdom. we note the accuracy of the Qur’anic description of the method and nature of the enemy’s entry: [.some of the Jewish kings on their thrones). during the reign of King Zedekiah. then the Nabateans 21 . The northern kingdom was destroyed during the reign of King Hoshea in 722 BC. Again. Hence.. The destruction of the southern kingdom marked the end of the enemies’ movement through the land. [And it was a warning [completely] fulfilled]: This is a promise of punishment from God.. Judah (Yahotha). they entered the very inmost part of your homes.] This was accompanied by an increase in the intensity of enemies’ attack and in the scale of punishment until the two kingdoms disappeared. but some of the Jews returned to the blessed land.. on the other hand. during the reign of King Cyrus of Persia who deliberately did not build a state for them.. The scale of corruption increased in the Northern and Southern kingdoms until it reached its peak in 722 BC and 586 BC respectively.] 4. He was the 19th king of the Northern Kingdom. Then came the Greek occupation in 333BC. which must be fulfilled. the Qur’anic description of such corruption and punishments is amazingly accurate. This shows the accuracy of the Qur’anic phraseology ِ ْ َ َ و َ َ ْ َ إَ َ ِ إ ْ َا ِ َ ِ ا ْ ِ َ ب َ ُ ْ ِ ُن ِ ا َرْض ِ ِ ِ ِ َ [ وَ َ ُْ ُُ ا آ ِ ًاAnd We gave clear warnings to the Israelites َ َ in the Book that twice would they do mischief on the earth and be elated with mighty arrogance. the year in which Caliph Omar ibn El-Khattab conquered Jerusalem. which appears in the Arabic text of this verse. Some of these attempts succeeded for short periods until the Jews were crushed by Titus. The first time the temple was destroyed was in 586 BC.and the Romans whose occupation of the blessed land lasted until 636 AD. 22 . the son of the Roman emperor Vespasian. some historians concluded that the second prophesy had already taken place in the year 70 AD or 135 AD as a result of the second destruction of the temple. and later after the last rebellion in 135 AD. Their conclusion was clearly based on linking the destruction of the temple with the prophecies. implies an undefined time lapse: one year…decades…millennia… no one knows exactly. Some scholars find the matter obscure and hold the view that the second mischief was in the years 70 AD and 135 AD because the first temple was destroyed in 586 BC and the second temple was destroyed in 70 AD and its remains were entirely obliterated in 135 AD. The Jews returning from the Diaspora made several attempts to achieve independence or self-rule. in the year 70 AD. we can detect a disambiguating definition of the second mischief as follows: The Arabic word ‘thumma’. In any case. by referring to the Qur’anic text. What is the Second Prophecy? By considering the above events. one can conclude that this return of power had indeed taken place (for real) in 1948 AD when the current state of Israel was declared. This has not happened in history except in 1948 AD if we consider that the Jews regained power over those who destroyed their first [independent] state. It is worth mentioning at this point that the Assyrians and the Babylonians could have been Arab tribes that migrated from the Arabian Peninsula to the Euphrates river area and later spread throughout until they gained control over what is now known as Iraq and Greater Syria. whose ancestors: the Egyptians. The people over whom the Jews regained power are the present-day Arabs. the Assyrians and Babylonians were responsible for the destruction of the first kingdom of the Israelites. verse 6 says: ْ ِ ْ ََ ُ رددْ َ َ ُ ُ ا ْ َ ة َ ََ [ ْ أآ َ َ َ ِ ًاوَأ ْ َدْ َ آ َِ ْ َال و َ ِ َ و َ َ ْ َ آThen we turned to you the ُ َ َ ٍ ُ َ َْ power to attack them and supplied you with money (wealth) and sons (or children) and we made you more in manpower (number of individuals/soldiers)] This indicates that the Jews will regain power over whoever destroyed their first independent state. The same happened with the people of Egypt. most of the descendants of the Assyrians and Babylonians embraced Islam and became Arab Muslims. The ones who moved back and forth through [the land in the aftermath of] the first mischief were the Egyptian.In Chapter 17 of the Quran. What is more certain is that hundreds of years later. 23 . By looking into the history of the Jews. after Prophet Mohammad ملسو يلع للا ىلص started preaching Islam and Islam stated to spread beyond the Arabian Peninsula. but total destruction was at the hands of the Assyrians and the Babylonians. the Assyrians and the Babylonians. both past and present. For a state to be dominant and powerful. Notice the Qur’anic verse refers to [sons] or men of youthful age. the Jews had gained limited self-rule. had no significant contribution to the destruction of the Jewish kingdom. This is not to say that there were no confrontations between the Jews and these two powers. but their contribution will not to significant level as the men.The Greeks and the Romans. and for these two resources to be directed towards building a well-equipped and trained army. That is not to say women will not be part of such an army. a common knowledge to all and something that does not need elaboration. it naturally needs two main resources: money and men. The resource of financial wealth is evident ever since the modern Jewish State was declared with the help of many western powers. nor had the Jews ever gained control over the Greeks or Romans. This is indeed what is referred to in the remaining part of the above verse. In some cases. on the other hand. The state of Israel is still one of largest recipient of financial and technical aids from the West. however. but such a conflict had never resulted in either a destruction of a Jewish independent state nor the rise of a Jewish kingdom that gained dominance over the Greeks or the Romans. Nor were the Jews more numerous in manpower. which is needed for the building of a strong fighting army. The other element of this power is the supply of necessary human resources. 24 . but for a short period of time only. that Hitler’s government offered to free 30. young men capable of carrying arms and ready to join the army.000. The Agency refused to do this despite its knowledge that the prisoners would be killed.000. was keen on releasing and transferring. to Palestine.000 Jewish prisoners if the Jewish Agency pays $50. Although the Qur’anic revelation was made more than 1400 years ago. 1.As a matter of fact. The Agency. In this Quranic verse. which is less than a third of the Jewish forces. one will be astonished to see these elements are indeed the same elements that helped the creation of today's Jewish state. which is written by a number of Jewish scholars. Israel. The Jews building a powerful state that dominates over those responsible for the destruction of their first kingdom (the Arabs). This second state had never existed in the history of the Jews until 1948. There are six main elements that led to the creation and rise of the Jewish State (the latter in the prophecy). 25 . they say. ] [ا آ اآ وwhich means we made you more numerous in man-power. All of these are mentioned in the Qur’an.000 strong while the Arabs had only 20. children and elderly people not fit for fighting in Palestine. The authors of the book explain that the reason for such a refusal is due to the fact that the prisoners in question were mostly women. َ ِ ًاrefers to a mobilized force ready to enter the battlefield. I have read in a book titled "The Victims of the Holocaust State Their Accusation". Despite the fact that the Arabs were of a larger number than the Jews in 1948. the Jews had mobilized an army of 67. had never stopped. which appear in the verses of the second prophecy. again. 3. which began even before the declaration of the state of Israel. (peace be upon him). This. It is worth mentioning that the flood of immigration. they come from different races and origins. The Jewish State receives a huge number of Jewish immigrants every year. which indeed has been taking place with the continuous Jewish immigration (more about this later). This is a fact. 4.2. 5. today we find that the Israeli Jewish people originate from more than 70 nationalities. 6. is one of the foretold events. There is a marked difference in number and weaponry between the Israeli and the Arab armies. On the contrary. it had increased many folds and is still growing. 26 . This is in contrast with the state of indigenous Israelites of the first Kingdom when the Jews were descendents of Prophet Jacob. When the Jews are brought together to create their second independent state in Palestine. mostly of youthful age that is capable of building and defending the state of Israel. This is indeed what we see clearly nowadays and in such a way that no other independent state the world over enjoys a similar position. But. also called "Israel". The Jews are gathered to Palestine from different parts of the world. This was evident in 1948 when the Jewish army was more than three times that of the Arabs despite the fact the number of the Arab population was and still is larger. The Jewish State receives a huge and continuous financial aid that helps it to exist and rise in power. We gather you together in a mixed crowd] Both the first and second prophecies refer to the two states of rise and fall experienced by the Israelites after they left Egypt. and if you do evil. "Dwell in the land (of promise)". It occurs in two places: The first mention is at the beginning of the chapter. We permit your enemies to disfigure (or disgrace) your faces and to enter the Mosque as they have entered it before and to ravage (destroy) all that falls into their power]. So when the Promise of the End (second of the warnings) comes to pass. The only reference to the second prophecy in the Holy Qur’an was in Chapter 17 (Al-Israa). in verse 104: َ ْ ُ ِ َ ْ ِ ِ ً و ُ ْ َ ِ َ ْ ِ ِ ِ َ ِ إ ْ َا ِ َ ا ْ ُ ُ اْ ا َرْضَ َِ َا َ ء و ْ ُ ا ِ َة ِ َ ذ ِ َ [And We said thereafter to the Israelites. verse 103 -104 say: ً ِ َ ُ َ َ ََ َاد َن َ ْ َ ِ ه َ ا َرْض ََ ْ َ ْ َ ُ و َ ِ ُ ر َأ َ ِ ة ِ ْ َ ِ ُ ْ َ ِ ً و ُ ْ َ ِ َ ْ ِ ِ ِ َ ِ إ ْ َا ِ َ ا ْ ُ ُ اْ ا َرْض َِ َا َ ء و ْ ُ ا َ َ ذ ِ َ ِ [So he resolved to remove them from the face of the earth: But We did drown him and all that were with him. there is no need for even one extra factor. you do good for your own selves. And We said thereafter to the Israelites [Dwell securely in the land (of promise): but when the second of the warnings came to 27 . in verse 7: ْ ُ إنْ أ ْ َ ُ ْ أ ْ َ ُ ْ َِ ُ ِ ُ ْ وإنْ أ َ ْ ُ ْ ََ َ َِ َا َ ء و ْ ُ ا ِ َة ِ َ ُ ُواْ و ُ ه َ ُ ؤ ِ َ ذ َ َِ َ َ ِ وِ َ ْ ُُ اْ ا ْ َ ْ ِ َ آ َ د َُ ُ َول َ ة وِ ُ َ ُواْ َ ََ ْاْ َ ْ ِ ًا َ ٍ َ أ َ َ َ [If you do good.By looking at the above six factors. it is for yours (your selves). one can see that they represent a complete set. but when the Promise of the End comes to pass.

This leads to the conclusions we mentioned above No.pass. scattered around the Globe. and thereby the promise of the first warning is fulfilled. We gathered you together in a mixed crowd]. who used to be subjugated. the Jews will be a dispersed people. we permitted the Israelites (after Pharaoh was drowned) to dwell in the blessed land. ] 28 . It is decreed that the two corruptions occur after exodus from Egypt. That is. descendent from several origins. 5 and No.” This is the meaning of [We gathered you together in a mixed crowd]. This conclusion is based on the clear reference made in Sura Al-Araf (Chapter 7) of the Quran. inheritors of the East and West of the Earth that We have blessed and thus the good word (promise) of your Lord was fulfilled on the Israelites for exhibiting of patience and we destroyed what Pharaoh and his people have accomplished and built. Verse 104 of chapter 17 implies that at the start of the second prophecy. as you will be. And we made a people. verses 136 and137 about the army of Pharaoh versus the Jews: ُ َِ َ ْ ْ آ ُ اْ ِ َ ِ َ وآ ُ اْ َ ْ َ َ ِِ َ َ َ َ ْ َ ِ ْ ُ ْ ََ ْ َ ْ َ ه ْ ِ ا ُ ََ َ َ ِ َ وأوْر ْ َ ا ْ َ ْم ا ِ َ آ ُ اْ ُ ْ َ ْ َ ُ ن َ َ رق ا َرْض و َ َ ر َ َ ا ِ َ رآ َْ ِ َ ِ َِ َ َ َ َ ََ د ْ َ َ آ ن َ ْ َ ُ و َ ْ آِ َ ُ ر َ ا ْ ُ ْ َ ََ َ ِ إ ْ َا ِ َ ِ َ َ َ ُواْ و َ ِ َ َ َ َ َ َ ِ ْ َ ْن و َ ْ ُ ُ و َ آ ُ اْ َ ْ ِ ُ ن َ َ َ َ ُ [So We exacted retribution upon them: We drowned them in the sea because they rejected Our signs. at the time. God knows best ! It has been stated earlier that the ground for the two prophecies will be the blessed Land of Palestine. 6: you will be gathered together from different parts of the world. ] (b) Chapter 17.. We had placed cities in prominent positions.. verse 21: [O my people! Enter the Holy Land. A Blessed Land on Earth The land of Palestine is referred to as a Blessed Land 5 times in the Qur’an.. for We do know all things] (e) Chapter 34. 29 ..] The first verse talks about the land that was inhabited by the Israelites after they left Egypt and the drowning of the Pharaoh of their time. This is the Holy Land of Palestine. verse 137: [And we made a people considered weak inheritors of lands in both east and west. (a) Chapter 7. verse 18: [Between them and the cities on which We had poured Our blessings. we can use history to delimit the boundaries of the blessed land from the east and from the west. to his order. to the land which We had blessed. but it was referred to as a Holy Land once. verse 81: [It was Our power that made the violent unruly wind flow (tamely) for Solomon.] (c) Chapter 21.] (f) Chapter 5.Hence. verse 1: [To the Farthest Mosque whose precincts We did bless.. lands whereon We sent down Our blessings. which they were promised to enter in the 6th verse.. verse 71: [But We delivered him and Lut (Prophet Lot) to the land which We have blessed for the nations] (d) Chapter 21. Historians agree that Prophet Lot lived in the area of Jericho while Prophet Abraham lived in Hebron and is buried there. The third verse talks about the escape of Prophet Abraham and Prophet Lot from their homeland (that was ruled by a tyrant non-believer) to the blessed land of Palestine. It is known that Solomon’s kingdom transcended the boundaries of modern Palestine. and if you do evil. you do good for your own selves. Palestine was the central part of his kingdom. The fourth verse is about Solomon whose kingdom is known to have been in Palestine with its capital Jerusalem. which is commonly known to be located in Palestine. We permit your enemies to disfigure (or disgrace) your faces and to enter the Mosque as they have entered it before and to ravage (destroy) all that falls into their power]. it is for yours (your selves). Yet. 30 . So when the Promise of the End (second of the warnings) comes to pass. The fifth verse talks about the relation between the Kingdom of Saba (Sheba) in Yemen and the kingdom of Solomon in Palestine.The second verse talks about the Al-Aqsa Mosque. The Conclusion of the Second Prophecy Details of the predicted downfall of the powerful State of Israel is depicted clearly in verse 7of chapter 17 of the Holy Qur’an: ْ ُ إنْ أ ْ َ ُ ْ أ ْ َ ُ ْ َِ ُ ِ ُ ْ وإنْ أ َ ْ ُ ْ ََ َ َِ َا َ ء و ْ ُ ا ِ َة ِ َ ُ ُواْ و ُ ه َ ُ ؤ ِ َ ذ َ َِ َ َ ِ ْ َ ْ ِ َ آ َ د َُ ُ َول َ ة وِ ُ َ ُواْ َ ََ ْاْ َ ْ ِ ًاوِ َ ْ ُُ اْ ا َ َ ٍ َ أ َ َ [If you do good. they will be exposed before the nations who had been fooled by them for many years. created through the media. ؤن و هIn the former phrase. We have pointed out earlier that the end of the first entry of the Arabs to the AlAqsa Mosque was in 586 BC when Judea was destroyed and its capital. 31 . All this will be at the hands of those whom God sends to carry out the second prophecy. The meaning is: When the second warning came to pass we sent them to achieve three objectives: to disfigure. [As they have entered it before] is a reminder that the end of each warning is the entry to the Aqsa Mosque. Jerusalem. fell in the hands of the Arab Babylonians.[So when the second of the warnings came to pass] means when the prophesied second Jewish Corruption occurs. It is also probable that the meaning is: their well-crafted image. or will hurt you in such a way that insult will be shown on your faces. This results in their shame and embarrassment. [And to enter the Mosque] means the Arab Muslims will reenter the Al-Aqsa mosque for the second time. the Jews who spread corruption and their State will be punished. Where is the apodosis of إذ اin the second phrase? It is the same verb . that is. and to visit with destruction They (the Arab Muslims) will disrepute you. will be destroyed. after destroying the might of the Jewish state. the grammatical apodosis of the article إ ذ اis the verb . to enter. He said ءوا و هto disfigure (or disgrace) your faces instead of . the modern Jewish State has declared Jerusalem as its capital. The verse depicts a picture of violent resistance on parts of the Jews. a designation. the first of which had already taken place. 32 . This resistance however will be met by a more violent reaction by the invading force that results in wide spread destruction and killing. It is worth mentioning however that the Arabic letter “ ”وwhich means “and” in English does not imply order or succession of events. which is the symbol of the conflict. One question springs to mind at this point: Will the destruction and killing take place throughout the blessed land or just in some parts of it? There is no explicit reference in the Qur’anic text to the size of the ground over which destruction will take place. kill and tear apart every thing that comes under their control. This implies that the fall of Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish state will only take place twice. Undoubtedly the fall of the capital of Israel. It is difficult to say however that destruction will take place after the entry to Jerusalem.Nowadays. it can be noticed that destruction is mentioned in the verse after the entry into the Al-Aqsa Mosque. which leads us to conclude that the destruction will take place around the city of Jerusalem. This means that destruction could precede the entry to Jerusalem or both events could take place concurrently. […And to ravage (destroy) all that falls into their power] means that the forces that will re-enter Jerusalem will destroy. is the greatest event in the second Jewish Corruption which God called the second or last. However. the Qur’an is hinting that the fall of Jerusalem leads to the fall of the Jewish state. Therefore. 33 .God’s Mercy and Punishment In verse 8. if Israelites reverted to corruption. yet. this results in God’s continued punish to them until the Day of Judgment. Reward and punishment befit the situation. Allah (s.t) will revert to punishment. ] (Sura Al-Araf 7: 167). Your Lord is quick in retribution. ْوإذ َِ ُ ِ َ َ َ ََذن ر َ َ َ ْ َ َ ََ ْ ِ ْ إَ َ ْم ا ْ ِ َ َ ِ َ َ ُ ُ ُ ْ ُ ء ا ْ َ َاب ِن ر َ ِإ َ ِ ِ َ َ ٌ ِ [ ا ْ ِ َ ب وإ ُ َ َ ُ ٌ رBehold! Your Lord did declare that He ر َِ ِ would send against them.However. to the Day of Judgment. Will the Jews be admonished after this measure? Those who reflect on Holy Qur’an find that a group of them will persist with corruption wherever they may be.w. but if you revert to your sins. chapter 17 of the Holy Qur’an. God calls the Jews to repent and stop their corruption so that they may receive His Mercy: َ [ ْ َ َ ُ ْ وإنْ ُ ْ ُ ْ َ و َ َ ْ َ َ َ َ ِ ْ َ ِ ِ َ َ ِ ًا َ َ ر ُ ْ َنIt may be َ أ َ َِ that your Lord may. but He is also oft forgiving. We shall revert to our punishments. show Mercy unto you. those who would afflict them with grievous penalty.] A clear message to the Jews to refrain from their corruption and return back to the way of the Lord if they want to escape disgrace in this life and a greater irretrievable disgrace in the Hereafter. Most Merciful. And We have made Hell a prison for those who reject faith. The Qur’anic verses that talk about the second prophecy are found both at the beginning and the end of Chapter 17 of the Holy Qur’an. a source of good news and glad tidings to the believers and a Warner of God’s punishment to the non-believer.Another form of life punishment is detailed in Chapter 5. The Jews and Christians embrace Islam As we mentioned earlier. that they shall have a magnificent reward] (Sura Israa 17: 9). verse 64 of the Holy Qur’an. It can be noticed that. وأ ْ َ ْ َ َ ْ َ ُ ُ ا ْ َ َاوَة َا ْ َ ْ َ ء إَ َ ْم ِ ِ َو ََ ِ َ َ ِ ْ [اAmongst them (the Jews) We have placed enmity and hatred till the Day of Judgement](5:64).ِ إ One of the Qur’anic verses that announce glad tiding to the righteous believers is the following: ا ِ َ ت َن َ ُ ْ ِن ه َا ا ْ ُ ْ ن ِ ْ ِي ِ ِ ه َ أ ْ َم و ُ َ ُ ا ْ ُ ْ ِ ِ َ ا ِ َ َ ْ َُ ن َ َ ُ َ ِ َ َ إ ِأ [ أ ْ ًا آ ِ ًاVerily this Qur’an doth guide to that which is most َ َ right and giveth the glad tidings to the believers who work deeds of righteousness. the verses that immediately follow the prophecy verses in each place. These are worldly punishments inflicted on them for their corruption.indeed] (17: 10). َ ْ ُ َ َ ْ َ ْ [ َا ً أِ ً وَن ا ِ َ َ ُ ْ ِ ُ ن ِ ِ َة أAnd those who believe َِ َ أ َ not in the Hereafter. It is a glad tiding to the 34 . talk about the Holy Qur’an as a guide to the truth. that We have prepared for them a grievous penalty . The Old Testament is over one thousand pages. one would conclude that there is an implicit intention here to talk about the general reaction of the People of the Book (mainly Jews and Christians) to the second prophecy when it takes place. They will realize how true is the religion 35 . and it increases their earnest humility. that those who were given knowledge beforehand.believers and a warning to the Israelites who believe in God and his apostles to some extent. It is a Qur’an which we have divided into parts in order that you (Muhammad) might recite it to men at intervals: We have revealed it by stages. And they say: ”Glory to our Lord! Truly has the promise of our Lord been fulfilled!

And then think about the concluding verse of Chapter 17 as to its meaning and the musical rhythm: َو ُ ِ ا ْ َ ْ ُ ِّ ِ ا ِي َ ْ َ ِ ْ وَ ًا و َ َ َ َ ِ[ ا ل وآ ْ ُ َ ْ ِ ًا َ ُ ُ َ ِ ٌ ِ ا ْ ُ ْ ِ وَ ْ َ ُ ُ وSay: “Praise َ َ ََ be to God who begets no sons and has no partners in His dominion: Nor needs He any to protect Him from humiliation: Yea. the Jewish Qaynuqa’a tribe and. later on.

Following these events came the revelation of Chapter 59 (Al-Hashr) of the Holy Qur’an. magnify Him for His greatness and Glory! ] (Sura Israa 17: 111) The Expulsion of Jews from the City of Medina We read in the honorable biography of the Prophet Muhammad ملسو يلع للا ىلصthat the Prophet had expelled. let it declare the praises and glory of God: for He is the Exalted in might. he said to them: “Go on to the beginning of your gathering and we shall be on your track. but when the Promise of the End comes to pass. Muhammad يلع للا ىلص . ] (Quran 59 : 1-2) Qur’anic interpreters have indicated that this [first gathering] as referred to in the above verses will take place in the Greater Syria (which includes Palestine). one would need answers to the following questions: What is the purpose of the beginning (or first phase) of the gathering to be located in Palestine? Or Greater Syria? Why this expulsion (of the Jews from Medina) is considered to be the beginning (or first phase) of the gathering’? What will happen in the last phase gathering? It has been narrated in the Qur’anic commentary of ‘Nasafee’ that when the Messenger of God. was an introduction to the fulfillment of the Promise of the End.. In order to understand the significance of this gathering... ملسوexpelled the Jewish tribe of Bani Nadeer from Medina. The time gap is insignificant because this is meant to be a portent of the warning revealed in Sura 17.” Does this point to the second prophecy which is mentioned in the Holy Qur’an? [.. Nasafi 37 . It is only a symbolic beginning. We gather you together in a mixed crowd] So..the Book from their homes to the beginning (or first phase) of their Hashr (gathering). one can conclude that the Jewish entry to the Holy Land after the death of Prophet Moses was indeed an introduction to the fulfillment of the first promise (prophecy) and their entry following their expulsion from Medina. in its beginning. This means that Promise of the End becomes fulfilled when the gathering of the Israelites (Jews) becomes a (Hashr) . 38 . how can it be claimed that the Jews of today are still considered to be Israelites? The answer can be summarized as follows: 1.][8] In light of this. Jad. though it is appropriate to say it is the beginning of (Hashr) because (Hashr) implies a gathering of a crowd in a small limited space accompanied by uncomfortableness. We say the gathering.

The Qur’anic reference in chapter 17.. In God's religion (Islam). The Jews have insisted on calling their current state ‘Israel’. Their conclusion is based on the saying of the Prophet Muhammad " : ملسو يلع للا ىلصThe day of Judgment will not take place until the Muslims fight the Jews. This meaning is depicted in the following verse: َْ أ َ ا ِ َ َ ُ ا َ ُ ْ ِ ُ َِ ْ ُ ُ َ َ َ َ ْ َ َ ِ ُواْ ا ْ َ ُ د َا َ َى أوِْ َ ء َ ْ ُ ُ ْ أوِْ َ ء َ ْ ٍ و َ َ َ ر َو َ ِ ِ . 6. today.2. 3.[ ِن ا ّ َ َ َ ْ ِي ا ْ َ ْم اand he amongst you that turn to َ إ them for allegiance is (becomes) one of them ] (Quran 5: 51). especially Oriental ones (Jews from Middle Eastern Countries). Our claim that some of the present Jews are descended from the Israelites is correct. However.". 4. No doubt. Israelites have became Children of the State of Israel. we cannot specify or identify them easily. This is unfounded and untrue. True affiliation (with a religion) is determined by allegiance.. they are today the sons of ( the State of) Israel. Thus. The Israelites followed a perverted form of Judaism and will follow them whoever shares their beliefs. 5. The Approach of the Day of Judgment Some Muslims think that the end of the State of Israel means the Day of Judgment becomes so near. people are not judged based on their origin or race. However. but on the basis of their belief and conduct... part of the World’s Jews' origin can be traced to the Israelites.. some Muslim scholars indicated that the Prophet’s saying does 39 . No one can deny that. the late Muslims who are true to their faith... but that a great and a decisive battle will take place between the two parties before it actually happens. In support of this [prophetic] saying. then to Damascus in Syria. Have we forgotten that the majority of the followers of Dajjal (Anti-Christ) will be Jews according to an authentic Hadith?!

It is worth noting that Muslims have never taken Jerusalem as a seat for Caliphate. their last rise and dominance will be at the hands of Mahdi who will rule the Earth according to Islamic Law and who will take Jerusalem as a capital. The beginning of Islam was in Mecca and the end will be in Jerusalem. I do not believe that the final rise of the Muslim State will end by liberating Jerusalem.pass. Indeed. ِي َ رآ َ ُ ْ َ ن ا ِي أ ْ َى ِ َ ْ ِ ِ َ ًْ َ ا ْ َ ْ ِ ِ ا ْ َ َام إَ ا ْ َ ْ ِ ِ ا َ ْ َ ا ِِ َ َ َْ ُ ِ َ َ َْ ُ ِ ُ ِ َ ُ ِ ْ َ ِ َ إ ُ ه َ ا ِ ُ ا ُ ِ [Glory to God who did take His servant for a journey by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Furthest Mosque whose precincts We did bless. as they should. in order that We might show him some of Our signs: for He is the One Who heareth and seeth all things. the last powerful state for Muslims will be in Jerusalem and its vicinity. In other words. ][13] (Qur'an 17: 1) 41 . some through signs and others through direct prophetic revelation or through a Prophet’s or even a nonprophet’s authentic vision. but they believe that it has been altered or they assert that it has only a portion of the truth.. Muslims believe in the Torah.. We are concerned here with decoding a Qur’anic prophecy. So when the second of the warnings came to pass…] (Quran 17: 4 -7) 42 . Revealing the unseen took many forms: some through direct verbal communication. Some [of these visions] come true shortly and some after many years or even centuries. All Prophets have told about the unknown.CHAPTER TWO IS IT A PROPHECY OR NUMERICAL COINCIDENCE? All known religions tell about the future and have revealed part of the unseen. Thus it is likely that in it are prophecies which originated from revelation though they need interpretation or deciphering even at the numerical level. that would they do corruption (mischief) on Earth twice .. which had been a prophecy in Torah. When the Promise of first (of the warnings) was due. Allah [SWT] says in Sura Al-Israa: [And we decreed for the Israelites in the Book.. Having had the chance. In 1990. It was well received by people. Why not. and there is no room in it for interpretation and personal views. I have discovered that the Number 19 is noticeably repeated in the relationship among the sun. a discovery that justifies the opposition. This opposition has intensified because the number 19 is sacred for the Baha’ is explain. to thoroughly study and scrutinize the research. for the world of mathematics is inductive in nature and is based on axioms.About fifteen years ago. since Allah has created the universe and revealed the Quran ! 43 . by Allah's will. After careful reconsideration. Nonetheless. the earth and the moon which suggests there must be a law that governs the universe and the Qur'an. based on the number 19 and its multiples. I wrote a book called "The Miracle of Nineteen Between the Backwardness of Muslims and the Perversities of Impostors" in which I have given detailed analysis of this startling miracle which forces itself upon people. it is striking that there are antecedents indicating the existence of a mathematical model based on the number 19. it appears that there is a miraculous and perfectly unique mathematical structure based on the number 19. it can be seen that the man lies and deliberately fabricates the numbers. explain a realization that led them to turn against his research. an Egyptian writer came up with research on the numerical miracle of the Holy Qur'an. It seems that the untruthfulness of this man barred him from knowing the true implications of these antecedents. which are the correct part of the research and its premises. but soon they realized this man’s perverseness. I had never thought that this number had historical significance, and at the same time, formed the basis of Qur'anic code and complied with astronomical laws, until I came across a (written) lecture by a well-known writer, Muhammad Ahmad Al-Rashid, about the New World Order. This lecture was the key to these observations which I present to the reader who, I hope, will excuse me for not citing page numbers of the references I quote, as I am writing (this book) in my tent in Marg EzZuhoor, and I left my papers behind in my homeland. At any rate, we will not need many references, as the reader will find it easy to verify all that we have mentioned by referring to the Holy Qur'an, the Torah, or to some astronomical and historical sources. I do not claim it is a prophecy, nor do I claim that it will definitely happen. These are only observations, which I am obligated to present to the readers and leave it to them to come to the conclusion they find convincing. The beginning, as I pointed out, was a written lecture by the Iraqi writer Muhammad Ahmad Al-Rashid on the New World Order. The reader may be surprised to find this serious lecture containing words the gist of which is the following: When the state of Israel was declared in 1948, a Jewish old lady came to Rashid’s mother crying. When she (Rashid’s mother) asked her about the reason for her crying while other Jews were celebrating. She replied: "The establishment of this state will bring about the slaughter of the Jews.” Al-Rashid says he heard her say that this state will last 76 years. When he grew up, he regarded that this matter (prophecy) could be related to the rotation of Comet Haley, for according to Al-Rashid, this comet has certain significance in Jewish beliefs. 44 Initially, I did not like the fact he mentioned such incident because I thought the lecture could have been better if this incident was not mentioned. People are used to hearing various invalid stories from old ladies and thus truth and falsehood are mixed up and people, particularly the educated ones, have become resentful to this kind of talk. But, then, I thought “What’s wrong with checking what the old lady said? She must have heard it from the rabbis.” It cannot be assumed that these were her own predictions and fancies. Furthermore, the rabbis have a residue of revelation mixed with remnant human illusions and legends. This was the starting point of this research. A book about Fundamentalist or Orthodox Jewish beliefs (probably based on the Jewish Talmud which is not part of the Old Testament) mentions what can be translated as: "This is the kind of peace predicted by Benjamin Begin (Israel's Prime Minister at that time) when he declared at the climax of the Israeli war against Lebanon in 1982: Israel will enjoy the 40 years of peace, mentioned in Torah." Is Begin referring to the same prophecy of the Jewish old lady we mentioned earlier? Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982 and thus, the end of the 40 years (of peace) will be: 1982 + 40 = year 2020. 1According to the mysterious prophecy (of the Jewish old lady), Israel will last 76 years or 19 × 4. And it is assumed that the 76 years are lunar years, for the Jewish Calendar follows this system. And for every three years, they add a month to balance the difference with the solar system. The year 1948 AD is equivalent to year 1367 in the Islamic Hijri calendar. Therefore, if the prophecy is true, Israel will last until (1367 + 76)= 1443 H. When the letter "H" appears after a year that means it is a 45 Hijri year, based on Hijri Islamic Calendar. The first year in this calendar started with the date of Hijra (means migration) of Prophet Mohammad ملسو يلع للا ىلصfrom Mecca to Medina. Hijri is the adjective form of the word Hijra. Each Hijri year consists of 12 lunar months whereby the Hijri month starts at the first sight of the moon. The middle of the Hijri month will be at full moon. The length of the Hijri month is either 29 or 30 days. The Hijri year is shorter than the solar year by about 11 days. 2Sura Al-Israa (Chapter 17) is also informally referred to as Sura Bani Israel [ Chapter of the Israelites]. The beginning of this Sura talks about a prophecy Allah revealed to Moses in the Old Testament. It mentions two instances of corruption committed by the Israelites in the Holy Land accompanied by sense of arrogance and haughtiness. Allah [s.w.t.] says: [We gave Moses the Book (the Torah) and made it a guide to the Israelites, commanding: Take not other than Me, O ye that are sprung from those We carried (in the Ark) with Noah! Verily he was a devotee, most grateful. And we decreed for the Israelites in the Book, that they would commit (or spread) corruption twice on Earth and be elated greatly (with haughtiness) … When the first of the warnings came to pass... When the second of the warnings comes to pass…] The first corruption (mischief) of the Israelites had already been committed before Islam. As for the second or the last instance of corruption, the known information suggests that it is the State of Israel that has been established in Palestine in 1948. It is noticed that the phrase ة " و اPromise of the End" (the second of the warnings) is only mentioned twice in the Holy Qur'an, both 46 This number 1444 is = 19 x 76. Despite having some doubt about such consensus. yet the most convincing opinions (regarding this matter) stick to the year 621 AD. through Heaven. 47 . the time span from the beginning of the prophecy to the end of Israel is 19 times the age of Israel. the number of lunar years since the beginning of the prophecy (meaning since Israa) until the end or fall of Israel is 1444 because Israa occurred one year before Hijra.1 = 621 AD). In other words.e. Notice that 76 is the number of lunar years of the expected age of Israel.: 1367 + 76= 1443 H 3Prophet Mohammad ملسو يلع للا ىلصmigrated on 20/ 9/ 622 AD (so this is the date of Hijra). Israa occurred in 622 AD . if the prophecy is right that the end of Israel is in1443 H. According to Ibn Hazm Al-Zhahiry.of them are in Sura Al-Israa: the first while talking about the second corruption at the beginning of Sura Al-Israa and the second before the end of this Sura. there is consensus among (Muslim) scholars that the Israa(the miraculous. over-night journey. It is also inconceivable that the revelation of the opening verses was chronologically far from the event of the night journey itself. we will find that the total number of words is 1443 which matches the result above. i. of Prophet Mohammad ملسو يلع للا ىلصfrom Haram Mosque in Mecca to the location of what is known today as Al-Aqsa Mosque) occurred one year before the Hijra (therefore. Therefore. If we calculate the number of words starting from the beginning of the talk about the prophecy: [We gave Moses the Book] to the last words about the prophecy [We gathered you together in a mixed crowd…] . in verse 104. One is tempted to ask how many times is the word (year) mentioned in the Qur'an? It is mentioned 7 times in singular form and the word (meaning "years") is mentioned 12 times.4Notice that the word ( مmeaning "day") in singular form is mentioned in the Qur'an 365 times and the word (meaning "month") in singular form is mentioned 12 times. Taking into consideration that we are dealing with Othmanic script. However. this means that the Earth and moon return to the same starting point once every 19 years.Prophet Mohammad's ملسو يلع للا ىلصovernight journey) into lunar years. The number 19 is used to harmonize the lunar year with the solar year. Astronomically. the Earth must rotate around the sun 19 times. The number 19 has become a symbol of the balance and harmony between the solar year and the lunar year.2422) / 354. Why ? It should be noted that every 19 lunar years have 7 leap lunar years (each leap lunar year consists of 355 days) and 12 regular lunar years (each regular lunar year consists of 354 days). therefore. That is why is the number 19 is commonly used by astronomers to illustrate the relationship between the lunar years and the solar years. the result will be: (621 × 365. the word is not counted because it is not a form of مor . If we convert the year 621 AD (the year of "Israa". therefore.367 = 48 . in order for the moon and the Earth to return back to the same starting position. the total is 7 + 12 = 19. the Earth would have rotated around itself 365 times and the moon would have rotated around the Earth 12 times. By the time the Earth finishes rotating around the sun once. the Jewish state was divided and the degeneration and corruption began. Yet. the first Jewish Corruption (mischief) mentioned in the opening verses of Sura Al-Israa started in 935 BC and the end of the second (and last) corruption will be in 2022 AD (or 1443 H). Solomon's Death 935 BC Israa 621 AD l AD End of Israel 1443 H (2022 AD) 5In 935 BC. but after for years after 621 AD. That is why the reader will find that we use solar years when referring to years before 621 AD. he can look up the name ن (Solomon) in the Arabic dictionary Al-Munjid. I have. Since 19 represents the concurrence of the sun and the moon. It is not easy to decide or confirm. we can consider 621AD also represents the concurrence of the sun and the moon. we use lunar years. Solomon (peace be upon him) died and subsequently.621 = 19. some references mention that his death was in 930 BC or 926 BC. thus. Therefore the number of years from the beginning of the first corruption to the Israa is 1556 solar years and the number of years beginning from Israa until the end of the second corruption is 1444 lunar years. it might even be impossible. Needless to say.640. That is the difference is 640 . an AD year is a solar year while a Hijri year is a lunar one. Thus.05 lunar years. We may wonder then: Have historians agreed that the year of Solomon’s death was 935 BC? If the reader wants a quick answer. Also a number of history books mention that his death was in 935 BC. therefore. endeavored to prove that via Qur’anic methods. We notice also that 1556 is also the total number of words in Sura Al-Israa (Chapter 17). 49 . )فWe mentioned earlier that the death of Solomon was in 935 BC. words or Suras and so forth. is the only Sura in the Qur'an where the death of Solomon was mentioned. is also the total number of words in Sura Al-Israa. The total number of letters from the beginning of Sura Saba (Sheba) until the end of verse 13 and before mentioning his death is 934 letters. We may count letters. Sura Saba (Sheba). ]. The Arabic letter " فfa" that starts this verse. I have also noted that if we add up the digits in the figure 1556. functions here as a link between what is said in verse 13 about the peak of the kingdom of Solomon and his subsequent death mentioned in verse 14. then comes the letter " فfa" which is a letter of arrangement and subsequence. Chapter 34. Verse 14 of Sura Saba (Sheba) says: [ ا ت ] (Then when We decreed (Solomon's) death. Since we know that Solomon ruled for 40 years as stated in the Old Testament . we only count the letter or the word and so on. the total will be 17. This number. nothing showed them his death.. what is left after subtracting the period of his reign is 1596 . The total will be 935 [if we add the letter ( ]. there should be a counting unit regardless of what we are counting. I have noted that Verse 13 (which talks about the peak of the kingdom of Solomon and precedes the verse that talks about his death) is composed of 19 words containing 84 letters. therefore.. What is result of multiplying 84 by19 ?84 × 19 = 1596. We therefore confirm 935 like history books. The number represents the number of years from Solomon's death to the event of Al-Israa in 621 AD.40 = 1556.6In numbering. If we do the same 50 . 1556. but in a single case. translated as "then". It is noticeable that verse 18 talks about the relationship between Saba (Sheba) and the Holy Land [Between them and the cities on which We had poured Our blessings. the end of the Kingdom of Saba (Sheba) was in 570 AD. If the 570 letters after the letter (fa) correspond to 570 years AD. the result will also be 17. But verse 19 talks about their perverseness and thenceforth their disruption. we will find the number is 570 letters. because he died after ruling 40 years. the last collapse of Ma'rib dam in Sheba which caused the destruction of Kingdom of Sheba was in 570 AD. We noted earlier that verse 13 which talks about the zenith of Solomon’s kingdom is composed of 19 words and 84 letters and that 19 × 84 = 1596 which may point to the beginning of Solomon's reign. it is expected that the corruption that spread 51 . If we calculate the number of letters after the letter (fa) in [ ا ت ] to the end of verse 21. the subsequent verses talk about the Kingdom of Saba (Sheba) and this continues until verse 21. During Solomon's reign.with 935. then the 935 letters mentioned above correspond to 935 year BC. We had placed cities in prominent positions]. In other words. Thus. Immediately after the death of Solomon. It will be also noticed that 17 is the serial order of Sura Al-Israa (known also as Chapter 17) and 17 + 17 = 34 which is the serial number of Sura Saba (Chapter 34) in Qur'an. According to AL-Munjid. After mentioning the death of Solomon in verse 14 of Sura Saba. Kingdom of Saba (Sheba) in Yemen was part of (or under the control) of Solomon's kingdom. it is expected that Saba split from the kingdom during the same year. his kingdom was divided and corruption spread. 1556 years before the revelation of Sura Saba? We also notice that verse 13 finishes with (wa qalilun min ibaadi ash-shakur) and verse 19 finishes with (wa inna fi thaalika laayaatin likulli sabbaarin shakur). because 1596 . In the aftermath of this declaration.40 = 1556. the Arab armies retaliated by 52 . What is striking is that the verse that talks about corruption in the Kingdom of Saba (Sheba) is verse 19 and the number of words of this verse is also 19 and the number of letters it contains is 84.immediately after his death happened 1556 years before the revelation of Sura Al-Israa and Saba. These are only inductive observations. No doubt "shakur" (grateful) is the opposite of "mufsid" (doer of corruption). i. Does this mean that corruption in Saba (Sheba) and Jerusalem happened after the death of Solomon.e.] (17: 2-3) 7The Jews declared the establishment of the current State of Israel in Palestine on 15 May1948 AD. The progeny of those whom We carried (in the Ark) with Noah! Indeed he was most grateful. The repetition of the word "shakur" in the Qur'an does not exceed 10 times. but we cannot consider it to be the actual date of the establishment of Israel. We should not forget that the prophecy in Sura AlIsraa (Chapter 17): ً و َ ْ َ ُ َ ا ْ ِ َ ب و َ َ ْ َ ُ ه ًى َ ِ إ ْ َا ِ َ أ َ ِ ُواْ ِ ُو ِ وآ َِ د َ ِ ُ َ َ َ ذر َ َ ْ َ َ ْ َ َ َ ُ ح إ ُ آ ن َ ْ ًا َ ُ ًا ر َ َ ٍِ ُِ ّ [And We gave Moses the Book (the Torah) and made it guidance for the Israelites (and enjoined them:) ‘Do not take anyone other than Me as Guardian. the timeline becomes: 10/10/ 935 BC AD AD 10/10/ 621 10/6/1948 5/3/2022 AD (1443 H) As mentioned earlier. It is interesting to see that the number of days since the day of the declaration of Israel until the completion of its creation is 38 days (= 19 × 2). The fighting erupted again after 4 weeks. So. If we add 76 full lunar years (each lunar is 354. the number of years between the first truce in 1948 to the truce of 1967 is full 19 solar years. issued a resolution of cease-fire and the Arab League accepted it on 18 July. On the basis of our findings. the effective date of the creation of the current State of Israel was 10/6/1948. The date of Israa most agreed upon is 10/ 10/ 621 AD (which was Yom Kippur.367 days).declaring war against Israel. Furthermore. the sum of adding up the numbers in the date 18 July. The United Nations issued a resolution of cease fire and the Arab League accepted it on 10 June 1948 (10/ 06/ 1948). Please note that 10 June 1967 AD is the date of the end of the six-day war in 1967. the result will be: 76 × 53 .1948 (18/7/1948) . is: 1+ 8+7+1+1+9+4+8= 38 (= 19 × 2).1948 (18/ 7/ 1948).Day of Repentance.N. The U. This date was considered to be the completion of the creation of Israel. This was called "The First Truce" which is the effective date of the creation of the current State of Israel. which was called "The Second Truce".for the Jews). The following day on which the artillery stopped was 19/7/1948. 4 = 2956. by how much does the first period exceed the second period? 1556 . we conclude that: (a) 155.4 solar years. but we do not know the specific day and month of Solomon's death. 54 .892 days.4. The first period from the first corruption committed by the Israelites which started following the death of Solomon on 10/10/ 935 BC (we know the year of Solomon's death.6 × 9 = 1400. from 10/ 10/ 935 BC to 5/ 3/ 2022 AD. So. and (b) 155. The second period from the Israa in 10/10/621 AD to the expected end of Israel in 5/3/2022 AD = 1400.6 and 19 is the result of 10 + 9.6 years.4 divided by 19 = 155. the end of its completion will be on 5/3/2022 AD. Since the time span from the beginning of the first corruption to the end of the second corruption = 1556 + 1400. If we multiply 155.354.6 × 10 = 1556 (the first period) and 155.4 (the second period).6 years is equal 1 out of 19 parts that make up the total of the two periods. therefore. Thus. Therefore. the sum of the two periods is 19 parts: 10 of which passed before Israa and 9 would pass after Israa.367 days = 26. so we supposed that it is 10/10/935 to match it with the day of Israa) to the Israa [Prophet Mohammad's ملسو يلع للا ىلصovernight journey to Al-Aqsa Mosque's location in Jerusalem] on 10/10/ 621 AD= 935 + 621= 1556 solar years.931.4 = 155.6 years is the difference between the two periods. 2956.1400. meaning: 1558 . The Old Testament stated that he came to the throne when he was 16 years old.1556 = 2.4 = 157. The numerical value of the Arabic words for the following two most important mosques together [ ا ا امAl-Masjid Al-Haraam + ا اAl-Masjid AlAqsa ] = 361 + 418 =779 (which is equal to 19 x 41).6 = 779 BC which is equal to 19 x 41. Later. according to Philip Hitti. thus his age in 779 BCwas 19. During the same 55 .1400.4 [The Israa (Prophet Mohammad's journey to Jerusalem) occurred in 621 AD ]. the result will be 779 .6 from 779.8. Arabs use a system for assigning numerical value to words based on the numerical values of each letter in the word.6 years after the end of Solomon was: 935 BC . If 779 is multiplied by 2. He restored the glory of Judah.157. we will discuss how these numerical values are calculated based on established table. This number (1558) is more than 1556 by 2. the result will be: 779 x 2 = 1558.155. Some sources mention that King Azariah (Uzziah)'s reign started in 779 BC. We also find that 1558 . We have noticed something special about year 779 BC and the number 779 in general : The end of the first 155.6 = 621.6 If we subtract 157. in Numerical Values of Letters. and the age of Israel in 1967 AD was 19. There are four similarities between 779 BC and 1967 AD: (A) The reign of King Azariah (Uzziah) of Judah began in 782 BC. and 57 lunar years (55 solar years) after 1967 AD. Judah lasted 136 years more than Israel!! In the Jewish religious law. So. Thus. which was destroyed in 722 BC. (C) The sum of adding up the digits of 779 is 23 ( 7+ 7+ 9= 23). the northern Kingdom of Israel was also in its glory days under King Jeroboam II. all of this may explain the significance of year 779 BC. which is equal to the sum of adding up the digits of the year1967 (1+9+6+7= 23). which was destroyed in 586 BC. Nevertheless. the state split into two parts: Israel in the North. the fall of the current Israel is expected to be in 2022 AD. says that when Israel vanished. the Israel's Knesset of today represents what the king in ancient Jewish states. This is interesting because as mentioned earlier. Judah lasted 136 years longer than Israel. (B) 57 years after 779 BC ( 57= 19 × 3). Philip Hitti in his book The History of Syria. and Judah in the South. the northern kingdom vanished. Israel was in its glory days. Lebanon and Palestine. He adds that Judah also had 19 kings succeeding to its throne. In 1967. 9When Solomon died in 935 BC. Will the current Israel last 19 Knessets (Parliaments)?

These are the only two Suras in the Qur’an containing this number of verses. When we take out words that are repeated. [Mingled crowed]… etc. If this number is doubled. the result will be 722 × 2 = 1444. Note that 1444 is equal to 19 x 76 .Every word in Sura Al-Israa represents one year because the word count of this Sura is 1556. ا [Numerous in man-power].1948 AD = 74 solar years= 76 lunar years. Every verse in Sura Al-Israa ends with words such as: [ وآDisposer of (your) affairs]. also called Sura Bani Israel (the Israelites) consists of 111 verses and it is noticeable that Sura Yusuf also consists of 111 verses. In other words. را [Most grateful]. we end up with 76 words (which is equivalent to 19 × 4). which is the number of lunar years from 621 AD (year of Israa) to 2022 AD (expected end of Israel). Sura Al-Israa. The current state of Israel is expected to last 76 lunar years: 2022 AD . we should 59 . We note that the year 722 (the date of the destruction of the northern kingdom of Israel) is a multiple of 19 (19 x 38= 722). 11. there are 111 words [verse endings]. We know that Sura Yusuf talks about the rise of the Israelites and Sura Al-Israa discusses the last existence of the Israelites in the Holy Land. we get the number 76. What is the significance of the fact that this is the only verse in Sura Al-Israa to talk about the expulsion from the land and length of stay after the expulsion? BSome would say that the verse refers to the expulsion of the Prophet Muhammad ملسو يلع للا ىلصand this is true: but the following verse reads: " ُ ِ َ ُ ّ َ َ َ ْ أرْ َ ْ َ َ َْ َ ِ ر ُ ِ َ و َ ُ َ ً ْ َ َ ِ ّ ُ ِ [(This was our) Sunna (tradition) with the prophets We sent before thee: thou wilt find no change in 60 . Again. The verses that contain 19 words are 4. The aim of this research is to find out how long Israel will stay after its establishment and the expulsion of the Palestinians. Does this figure signify number of years? Prophecies sometimes appear in a symbolic form that require interpretation as is the case with the authentic visions such as that of Yusuf (Joseph).] The number 76 comes immediately after the word [ ]. their word count is 19 × 4 = 76. that is. or the King's vision in Sura Yusuf.Verse 76 discusses the expulsion of the Palestinians by the Jews from the Holy Land and how long the Jews will stay after this expulsion. peace be upon him.remember that each word represents a year and the number 76 is the focus of our investigation. It occurs to us to check verse 76 of Sura Al-Israa which reads: ن َ وإذا ً ك َ ُ ِ إ وإنْ آ ُوا َ ِ ّو ِ َ ا رض ِ َد ِ ً [Their purpose was to scare thee off the land in order to expel thee: but in that case they would not have stayed (therein) after thee except for a little while. The following are the indications that this is the most likely interpretation: A. The second word. but we did drown him and all who were with him. in the present.) زonly three words were derived in the Holy Qur’an. We gather you as a mixed crowd. derived from the same root.] (Chapter 17: 103-104). C.From the root (fazaza . The third word . is located in verse 103 ً َ ُ َ َ َ [ َ راد َن َ ْ َ ِ ّه ِ َ ا رض َ ْ َ ْ َ ُ وSo he َ ِ ُ َأ (Pharaoh) resolved to remove them from the face of the earth. in the following verses: 64. As for the verse 64: ُ ْ ِ َ ْ َ َ ْ [ َا ْ َ ْ ِزْ َ ِ اLead to destruction و those thou canst among them…].derived from the same root. The number of words from the beginning of the prophecy: باتكلا ىسوم انيت وtill the final mention of this prophecy: ِ َة ِ ْ َ ِ ُ َ ِ َُ َ ِ َا َ ء و ْ ُ اis 1443 words and َ َ ذ ِ coincides with year 1443 H. is located in verse 76 which the verse we intend to prove that its verse number ( meaning 76) is the number of years Israel will last. 76 and 103. It should be noted that the number 61 . which is a symbolic interpretation of the word ( ً which means "a little while". it consists of 19 words corresponding to 19 years as said earlier.] This verse is followed by verse 104 َ و ُ ْ َ ِ ْ َ ْ ِ ِ ِ َ ِ إ ْ ا َ ً ِ َ ْ ُ ِ َ ْ ِ [ ا ْ ُ ُ ا ا رض َ ِ َا َ ء و ْ ُ ا ِ َةAnd we said ِ َ َ َ ذ thereafter to the Israelites: Dwell in the Land (of promise) but when the Promise of the End comes. and in the future. It is worth noting that all of these three words are mentioned in Sura Al-Israa. Thus it is a Sunna (tradition) in the past.our ways]. this is an additional confirmation that Israel will end in 2022 AD (God Willing)!! 12. Here is the equation that obtained: the word (ز ) واoccurs in verse 64 which a 19-word verse. They ravaged your homes/country)…]. this means the beginning of the equation is 19. Since we will continue to deal with the multiples of number19.of years from the year of Israa. 62 . Every word in Sura Al-Israa corresponds to one year. 621 AD. The word ( ) َ ِ ّوin verse 76 and I intend to prove that this verse number refers to the number of years Israel will last. I have also noticed that the number of verses between Sura AlFatiha (which is opening chapter in the Quran and considered the most important one) and Sura Al-Israa is 2022.Sura Israa (Chapter 17). verse 5 says: َِ َا َ ء و ْ ُ ُو َه َ َ َ ْ َ ََ ْ ُ ْ ِ َ ًا َ ُوِْ َ ْس َ ِ ٍ َ َ ُ اْ ِ َل ا ِ َ ر ِ ّ َ ٍ د أ ُ ذ َ َ أ ً ُ ْ وآ ن و ْ ًاO [When the promise of the first of the two َ َ ََ (warnings) came. thus the equation will be 19 x76 = 1444. The third word ( ه )which I have th found to be the 1444 word in Sura Al-Israa. Since the first word deals with the number19. therefore the number 76 also corresponds to a number of years for how long Israel will last. Since the 19 words correspond to 19 years. and since the 1444 words correspond to 1444 years and since the equation is mathematically correct. to 1443 H is 1444 lunar years (equivalent to 76 x 19). we sent against you servants of ours of great might. which is the first of the two kingdoms and first of the warnings. 1387 H years would have elapsed since the event of Al-Israa. it is aptly called the first. It was the first to break away and the first to decline. This variance between the first and the second periods is reflected in numbers. 1368 H years passed since the event of Al-Israa. and the Babylonians conquered the two kingdoms. In the year 2022 AD. 1948 AD corresponds to 1367 H. By 1967 AD. The second and last corruption materialized in 1948 AD in one part of the Holy Land. So. but did not overthrow their [respective] kings. and the Egyptians. Their invasions continued into the Southern Kingdom (called Judea) until Nebuchadnezzar came and captured the nineteenth king called Zedekiah and killed a large number of people. The year 722 BC is the date of the destruction of the first kingdom of Israel. the Assyrians destroyed the Northern Kingdom ( which was called Israel). the Assyrians. then was completed over 19 years in 1967 AD. In the year 722 BC. took many others as captives and destroyed the kingdom of Judea in 586 BC. therefore. 1444 H years will have elapsed since the event of Al-Israa. they kept them on the throne. In fact.The Kingdom was divided and corruption began. That is to say. let us go back to Sura Al-Israa: [When the first of the warnings came to pass] The serial number of the 63 . Now. the second corruption spread through the Holy Land in two phases. If you do evil. So when the Promise of the End (second of the warnings) comes to pass. If we multiply the serial number of the word (ة اAlAakhirah) based on its position in Sura Israa which is 73 by 19. and entry is at the time of the punishment.e. the result is 1368 which is the number of Hijri years from Al-Israa to 1948 AD i. starting from the discussion about the prophecy [We gave Moses the book]. (We permit your enemies) to make your faces look bad (to disgrace you) and to enter the Mosque as they have entered it before and to destroy all that falls into their power]. based on this word's location in the Sura. it is for your own good. If we multiply the serial number of the word وbased on its position in Sura Israa which is 72 by 19. Verse 7 of Sura Israa says: َ ْ ُ ْ أ ْ َ ُ ْ َِ ُ ِ ُ ْ وإنْ أ َ ْ ُ ْ ََ َ َِ َا إنْ أ َ ِ ذ َ َِ َ َ َْ ء و ْ ُ ا ِ َة ِ َ ُ ُواْ و ُ ه ُ ْ وِ َ ْ ُُ اْ ا ْ َ ْ ِ َ آ َ د َُ ُ َول َ ة وِ ُ َ ُوا َ ٍ َ أ َ َ َ َ ُ ؤ ِ َ [ ََ ْاْ َ ْ ِ ًاIf you do good. it for your own detriment. the result will be 38 x 19 = 722. the result is 1387. the year of the first phase of corruption started in the Holy Land. If we multiply the serial number of the word أو هbased on its position in Sura Israa which is 38 by 19. this is the number of Hijri years from Al-Israa 64 . The serial number of the word ( وwarning). which is the date of the fall of the first Northern Kingdom. which corresponds to the expected age of the current State of Israel because each word in the Sura corresponds to one year. The serial number of the word ا ( وto enter) is 76. is 72 and the word ة اor the second.word ( أو هor the first). is 38 (which is equivalent to 19x 2). is 73. as the year 1443 H begins on 8/ 8/ 2021 AD and ends on 28/ 7/ 2022 AD. The phrase in this verse: ا و ه (to make your faces look bad to disgrace them) seems to indicate that as part of God's punishment. note that ( و ْ ُ ا ِ َةPromise of the End) is mentioned in ِ َ the Quran only twice and both in Sura Israa. but 2022 AD starts on Saturday and ends on Saturday too. which corresponds to the eighth month of the solar year.e.to 1967 i. 13. the completion of the second warning regarding corruption in the entire Holy Land is obtained. the result is 1444 which is the number of Hijri years from Al-Israa to 2022 AD. 65 . If we multiply the serial number of the word ا ( وenter) based on its position in Sura Israa which is 76 by 19. God will empower the enemies of Israel to finally win in shattering the false positive image it has established.1443 H corresponds to 2022 AD. The overlap is from 1. Notice that the 8th of August is the first day in 1443.1 to 28. They share 209 days (= 19 x 11). The year 1443 H starts on Monday and ends on Thursday. The numbers tell that this began in 1986 AD!! Finally.7 AD although 2022 AD is an ordinary year where February is 28 days. the date the Jews commemorate of the destruction of the first Temple!! This occurs in the fifth month of the Jewish calendar. Given all the necessary information by the computer. [this point] is called aphelion. Strangely enough. which is called perigee.Muhammad Ahmad Al-Rashid says he believes the whole matter to be related to Haley’s Comet because –according to Al-Rashid. if it maintains the same speed: it will complete its orbit in 76 solar years: if it started its orbit in the beginning of 1948 and will complete it at the end of 2022 AD.2022). Some people saw Haley on 10/2/1986 i. Haley began its last orbit in 1948 AD. I have found that astronomers consider the start of Haley’s orbit when it is in its farthest point from the sun. It is strange though that the first half of the first orbit took 38 solar years and 66 . This led me to study Haley’s Comet. which is an amazing coincidence requiring verification of the origin of this prophecy. the answer was that Haley will reach aphelion in 2022 AD.14. which completes its orbit in 75 or 76 solar years. when it was in perigee stage it was half way through a period of 38 solar years (= 19 × 2).Thus the total is 75 solar years.e. I have consulted many astronomy books to find when Haley returns to aphelion to complete its final orbit but found no books addressing this issue. If the orbit is completed in 75 years then Haley will complete its orbit in 2023 AD. It is noticeable that the period from 10/2/1986 to the end of 2022 AD is 38 lunar years (= 19 x 2).it relates to the Jewish faith. Thus there is conformity between the prophecy and Haley’s orbit (1948 . This is found in astronomy books. People on earth see Haley when it is in its nearest point to the sun. So in theory if each orbit is completed in 76 years then Haley will complete its orbit in 2024 AD. My hands happened to fall on a book (by an Egyptian astronomer) with the title (Microcomputer and Astronomy). The ascent of Muslims means the descent of Israel. Notice the rapid change in the world after 1986. 95) states: “This is exactly the kind of peace that Menachim Begin predicted when he announced at the peak of the prima facie Israeli victory in the war against Lebanon. Israel will bask in what the Torah described as ‘the forty years of peace’. and I am afraid people will mix them with those based on astrological illusions to unveil the unseen. Is this some kind of clue relating to the prophecy? We previously noticed that the solar year was used before 621 AD and afterwards lunar years were used. first edition. 67 .Ian Lustig (1991) in his book Jewish Fundamentalism in Israel (translated by Husni Zainah published by the Institute of Palestinian Studies.the second half will take 38 lunar years. before Hijra we reckon in solar years and after Hijra in lunar ones. It is known that Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982 AD. From the “aphelion” of Israel to its “perigee” there are 38 solar years. as if the lunar system is particularly Islamic. Beirut. p. It is noted that Haley increases its speed after 1986 to orbit one year less. and from the rise of Muslims from their nadir to their zenith with regard to the Holy Land there are 38 moon years. In other words. 15. These are only observations." It seems that Begin is referring to the prophecy referred to in the beginning of this research. thus the end of those 40 years of peace will be: 1982 + 40 = 2022 AD. I give an examples of many that I have found as a result of investigating the words of some Qur’anic Suras: The title of Sura Al-Kahf shows the importance of the story of 'The Companions of the Cave. Al-Hafedh Rajab Al-Bersi. Notice the phrase […that ye may know the number and count of the years. We previously said each word corresponds to one year and our research deals with years and numbers on the basis of number 19. The story begins in verse 9: [Or dost thou reflect that the companions of the cave and of the 68 . Mustapha ar-Rafi’. states that Ibn Abbas had been quoted as saying is that the clause […all things have we explained in detail…] means we have fully explained everything by the use of numerical values of letters …” So that the reader will feel more comfortable with our approach that we call "The Mathematical Interpretation of the Qur'an". the author of Our Islam. Strangely the word [ وا بnumber] is the 19thword in the verse.] Our research involves both the number and counting of the years. we conclude with Verse 12 of Sura Al-Israa which comes as a comment on the prophecy: [We have made the night and the day as two (of our) signs: the sign of the Night have We made dark. (page 97): “What the author of Masharig Anwaar AlYaqeen. While the sign of the Day we have made bright that ye may seek bounty from your Lord and that ye may know the number and count of the years' all things have we explained in detail]. According to Dr.Now. This is strengthened by the fact that the phrase “ و ل ” (fulfilled promise) is mentioned in the Qur'an only three times. “Glory to our Lord Truly has the promise of our Lord been fulfilled] Say: Believe in it. we say they stayed 309 years. I happened to have read an article by AlMawdudi in which he infers the elements necessary for building an Islamic state from the verses of Sura Al-Israa. which means that the whole Sura talks about the second of the warnings. Notice that if we start counting words from the beginning of the story [أن . When it is recited to fall down on their faces in humble prostration and they say. In the language of numbers. i. “ ( ”آ ن وTruly has the promise of our Lord been fulfilled) appears in Sura Al-Muzzamil and the other two instances are in Sura Al-Israa. (the Qur'an). In fact [the same phrase] ة ءذا ء و اoccurred at the beginning and at the end.inscription…] The length of their stay is found in verse 25: [So they stayed in their cave three hundred years and some add nine (more].e. The first mention is after talking 69 . There is no reason why the pronoun "it" should not refer to the warning. It is clear that the context is the same for both. The phrase [ة و اthe second of the warnings] [Al-Akhirah] is repeated in the Holy Qur'an only twice. ] ). in particular the verse [Whether ye believe in it or not it is true that those who were given knowledge beforehand. we should not forget that we are still in the context of talking about the second warning.امwe will find that the word that immediately comes after [ و ا آWa labithu fi kahfihim] [So they stayed in their cave] is the 309th word. The first mention is at the beginning of the Sura Al-Israa and the second at the end of it. about the first warning which preceded Islam “ و آ ن و ” (It was a fulfilled promise). At this point. Prophet Muhammad ملسو يلع للا ىلصsays: as in the verse of glory is [Say: Praise be to Allah who begets no son and has no partner in His dominion: nor needs He any to protect Him from humiliation: You. when talking about the astonishment of the people of the book by the truthfulness of the divine warning as they say: [Glory to our Lord Truly has the promise of our Lord been fulfilled. which leads to world transformations in line with the position of […the land which We have blessed for the nations]. I counted the verses from the beginning of Sura Al-Baqarah to the end of Sura Al-Nahl (the Sura that appears in the Quran 70 . I felt more strongly the need to count the verses from the end of Al-Fatiha: [ The way of those on whom Thou has bestowed Thy grace Those whose portion is not wrath and who go not astray] to the beginning of Sura Al-Israa which I consider as the chapter of the victory of the truth. I said to myself: It seems to me that the Sura of Al-Israa is the one that examines the triumph of the way of those on whom Allah has bestowed His grace over the way of those whose portion is wrath and the ones who went astray. It seems to be a powerful victory.] It is striking that Sura Al-Israa ends with [You. The second mention came after the second warning. In the Prophetic tradition. magnify Him for His greatness and glory].] The endings of Al-Israa point to the victory of Islam and the embracing of it by many of the people of book. Magnify Him for His greatness and glory. ض . etc.immediately before Sura Israa) and found them to be 2022 verses (this is another proof that supports the view that Israel will end in 2022). The numerical value sometimes is referred to as Gematical or Geometrical value. specifically for their alphabets. there are 28 because there is considered to be no difference between the letters Hamza and Alif.

The Arabic alphabet comprises 29 letters. Other nations. Calculating such values can be referred to as Alphabetical Mathematics. such system were used for various purposes such as dating events. What concerns us about this Abecedarian order is the link between it and the Jum’mal numerical values of the letters.تAfter that. but the Hebrew and Abecedarian Arabic systems only coincide up to the letter .خ . Arabic has the extra letters ظ .ذ . However. rather than the Alphabetical. although the calculation may have had a religious basis.difficult to decide which is right. Thus. magicians and sorcerers have used it too. Each letter has a numerical value as shown in the table below: LETTERS Letter in Arabic Corresponds to glish letter ا ب ج د و ز Jum’mal NUMERICA Latin/En L VALUES a b j d h w z 72 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 . letters. buildings etc. Muslims have used it in historical dating. This calculation has been used for various purposes – Muslims have used it to date battles. it has been abused later. The Jewish clergy use it extensively. In the Jum’mal. it is noticed that there is no difference between the numerical values of the Arabic letters "Alif" and "Hamza". and fortune-tellers. because the Jum’mal numerical value is calculated based on the Abecedarian. as mentioned above. Sufis have overused it. deaths. ح ط ي ك ل م ن س ع ف ص ق ر ش ت ث خ ذ ض ظ غ h t y k L m n s 'a f s q r sh t th kh z dh zh gh 8 9 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000 73 . Examples of Usage The following is an example of how Numerical Values of alphabets were used by the Arabs for dating events. However. and thus Sultan Barquq died in 801 H. He ended the last verse by dating Dalenjawi's death with the phrase “ ت اPoetry died after him. It seems that they chose a humorous phrase. his friend eulogized him in a poem. an interpreter.” This came after the words “I dated this…” which indicated the point at which to begin counting. When Sultan Barquq. Thus. He produced many works. a Burji Mamluk. Sufi and Shafi’i jurist. a phrase was coined indicating the date of his death. This phrase was ( اfil-mishmish). so the implication in current usage at least is of transience]. [It means. one of which is a two-volume interpretation of the Qur’an in which he said in 74 . literally: “In the apricot (season)” which is very short. died. migrated to Makka and died there in the year 1316 H. Muhammad Ben Omar Nuwawi Al-Jawi. the misuse of this system in the areas of fortune telling. magic and sorcery has created negative associations with a system that is not intrinsically negative. When a poet called Dalenjawi died. the date of Dalenjawi’s death is: 40 + 1 + 400 + 1+ 30+ 300 + 70 + 200 + 2 + 70 + 4 + 5 =1123 H. It is clear that this use of calculation in chronology is thus not objectionable from a religious viewpoint because it is a matter of convention and is thus permissible. The total is 801. but also the numerical values of the phrase are 80+10+1+30+40+300+40+300. Baidawi comments on this Hadith by saying: “His reciting to them in this order and his confirmation of their inference…” Thus.” Thus we cannot rely on Baidawi’s conclusion. احIt is clear from these words that he chose a title to conform to the Jum’mal system to show the date he began writing his book (1304 H). Although we 75 . though on the other hand the Prophet never said anything that denied that Jum’mal had a religious basis. even for a book on Qur’anic interpretation. Another famous Qur’anic commentator. says in his interpretation of the opening of Sura Al-Baqara that the Prophet ملسو يلع للا ىلصwas approached by the Jews and he recited to them the opening of Al-Baqara.ا اand they replied that he had confused them and they know longer knew which Faith to follow. Baidawi considers that the Apostle (pbuh) confirmed their inference.ا . They said: “Is there anything else?” He said: . In Shihab’s commentary on Baidawi’s interpretation he says: “ This Hadith was verified by Bukhari in his history and by Ibn Jarir through Ibn Issac Al-Kalbi… Its chain of narrators is weak.the introduction: “I have titled this book to confirm to its date” – ان ى ا . I have cited this particular example to give evidence of a Muslim scholar’s attitude towards the question of theJum’mal system and to show that nothing was found to be wrong in using such a system. What matters is that there is neither evidence for denial nor confirmation. Baidawi. We have used it for generations so why don’t we reconsider using it again since we have found it to be beneficial. They calculated the numerical values of the letters of the opening and said: “How can we enjoin a religion that will last only seventy-one years?” The Prophet (pbuh) smiled. The exception to this was if magicians or fortune-tellers use it. The question is: How can we know that a certain phrase in the Qur’an carries such a numerical secret? Our answer to this is that this has to be proven either through Islamic legal methods or by reasoning. but on the other hand there is not any evidence to reject this method of counting. It was used by the Jews to interpret the symbols of their prophecies. we find that confirmation is more likely in the light of this weak Hadith.must be careful not to assume that we are building on absolutely solid foundations. the Qur’an was revealed in Arabic! Imam As-Syuti thinks that alphabetical mathematics has no place in Sharia (Islamic law) and I agree with as-Siuti's opinion. The reader will find that our approach to this question is new and has nothing to do with the Sufis or others. 76 . We can prove by deduction that the Qur’an has kept some secrets in certain words and clauses and therefore. It is convenient for us here to present our comments to the reader from the point of view that alphabetical mathematics can be seen as a branch to enrich and dash more light on things and no more. After all. We are satisfied that the reader will be convinced by the examples of the Jum’mal system that we will give that are based only on induction and not hearsay. Here we are only exploring things without advocating that alphabetical mathematics is the core in the equations. we assume that the Qur’an has used this linguistic convention of the Semitic languages. whether they did the right thing or erred and deviated. Since language suggests meanings there is no reason to prevent it from suggesting numerical values. What I am presenting here is the result of an investigation. We should notice here that alphabetical mathematics is only a human term and it concludes that many words can have the same number. I have many examples of this. if a word is used to date the death of a person: it can also be used to give the name of a person or a date of a battle. So. This can be easily proven today after discovering some of the miraculous mathematical formulae of the Holy Qur'an. The writing of the Holy Qur’an known as Othmanic script is tawqifi (meaning it is divinely ordained and was supervised by Prophet Mohammad . ملسو يلع للا ىلصThis is the opinion of the majority of the scholars. a solar date. Consequently. which is the main theme of our topic. not only on the mathematical level but also some of the secrets can be hidden in words and sentences and can be reached through calculating the numerical values of letters. but here I will only use the words and phrases that I have found to re-exemplify the previous equation. or a lunar date and so forth. This does not mean that every word or sentence contains a secret. which I found to be in order with the results of chapter two of this booklet. The following are few examples of applying Numerical Values of Arabic Letters to the Prophecies about the Jews: 77 . one word or a phrase can denote more than one identity. it does not mean anything to me. It has become clear tome that there are secrets for this kind of script. Without the results of this chapter. which we find sometimes. but we must investigate and admire the coincidence. In verse 104 of Sura Israa: ،ا ا رض ً ذا ء و ُ ا ة ِ َ ا َا إ ِ و The order of the word ( افيفلmixed crowd) if we start counting the words from the beginning reference to the prophecy is 1443. This is year according to the Hebrew calendar that is equal to 2022 AD and 1443 H. َ َ َ The total of these numbers is: 1444 + 1445+ 1446+ 1447 = 5782 . the current State of Israel is expected to end in 2022 AD (which is 1443 H in Hijri calendar) 2. 1447. March 5. 3. 78 . 1445. The order of the word ( افيفلmixed crowd) as we have indicated above 1443. 1446. The Sura of Al-Israa is the chapter that talks about the prophecy of the second warning as if it were the chapter of warning (or promise). The day on which 76 lunar years from 10/6/1948 AD (the date of the first truce which is the effective date for establishing Israel) will be complete is 5/ 3/ 2022 AD (Saturday. This means that the order of the 4 words that follow it ُ َ ْ َ ْ و ِ ْ َ َ َل و ِ ْ َ أis: 1444. 4. As we have come to the ِ َ conclusion before. We also find that the numerical value of ذا ء و ُ ا ةis 2022. The numerical value in alphabetical mathematics of the word اAl-wa'ad (which means Promise or Warning) is 111 and this is the same as the number of the verses of Sura Al-Israa.1. the numerical value of + 5 + تبسلا ( راذSaturday + 5 + March) = 493 + 5 + 903 = 1401 . Note that the number of years from Israa (621 AD) to the year of the expected end of Israel (2022 AD) is 1401. Furthermore. 5. The numerical value of the word [ ديMiladi which refers to calendar years based on the birth of Jesus] is 95 . which contains 302 Sabbath years (we are going to explain the concept of Sabbath later). 79 . So. So the total numerical value of ننثاو نافلأ + راذ + 5 + تبسلا ( نورشعوSaturday. This is the last verse in the Quran that mentions the word Saturday (Sabbath). This number (302) is also the numerical value of the word [ إ ءIsrael]. The days from March 5 till the end of that year is 302 which happens to be the numerical value of the word Israel in Arabic ( )ليءرسإas it appears in Othmanic script of Quran. 5 March 2022) is 2802 which is also equal to the numerical value of the verse 16 of Chapter 124 that says: ّ ا إ ا ا ُ ّ [ ُ ِ َ اThe Sabbath was decreed on those who differed about it] . the numerical value of 2022 AD (year in which Israel is expected to end) is 2022 + 95 = 2117.2022). as explained previously. The numerical value of ( نورشعو ننثاو نافلأTwo Thousand Twenty Two) is 1401. The numerical value of ِ ّ +هis 586 which is the year 586 BC in which the last Jewish Kingdom was destroyed. 1443 H (or 2022 AD) is the expected year for the fall of Israel. So. The number 76 have special significance in connection with several matters in Sura Israa. The numerical value of لوح انكرب يذلاis 1063. The last king of the Southern Kingdom was ّ ِ ِ (Zedekiah). was destroyed in 722 BC. Both of them were the 19th (nineteenth) king in each of their kingdoms (since the split occurred in the Jewish Kingdom after Solomon's death). The order of the word نوثبليin Sura Israa is 1063. It is interesting to note that 1661 is also the numerical value of the term " 1443 ( " يرجHijri) = 1443 + 218 = 1661. Most scholar believe that Israa occurred on the 76th day of the lunar year. As we have indicated before. called Israel. This is the same numerical value of [ نوثبليThey remain] which is mentioned in verse 76 of Sura Israa. 80 . 7. (a) Al-Aqsa Mosque is referred to in the Quran as: انكرب يذلا [ لوحThe one which we have blessed in surroundings] . (b) The numerical value of [ نوثبليThey remain] is 598. The Northern Kingdom of the Israelites. the Southern Kingdom.6. Judah remained until 586 BC. The last king of the Northern Kingdom was (عشوHoshea). This is an indication that the Israelis will remain occupying the Al-Aqsa Mosque and its surroundings for 76 years. Whereas. if we add these two numbers which are connected to the word . نوثبليwe get: 598 + 1063 = 1661 . Sura Israa discussed the Promise of the End that will occur after the Jews go back to the Holy Land (establish the current State of Israel). This further confirms our view that this Sura Israa is meant to reveal the secrets about the second instance of corruption and the punishment of God against them. prune your vineyard. would like to add an observation. But during the seventh year. including the year in which this punishment will occur. As we have indicated before.org. the land shall have a complete rest. We feel this is not a coincidence. Speak to the Israelites and tell them: when you enter the land that I am giving you…For six years. The numerical value of the word ( دعولاPromise) is 111 which is also the number of verses in Sura Israa. nor shall you pick the grapes of your untrimmed vines in this year of Sabbath rest for the 81 . you shall not reap. Sabbath in Judaism Bible's Book of Leviticus says: “The LORD said to Moses on Mount Sinai. The name of this Sura ( إ اءIsraa) is very close to the name ( ا اءIsrael).8. at DiscoveringIslam. The aftergrowth of your … harvest. We. ending the current State of Israel. you may sow your field. nor prune your vineyard. gathering in your produce. but they spread corruption on Earth for the second time. and for six years. a Sabbath for the Lord. when you may neither sow your field. both in Arabic and in English. I thought it would be appropriate to take the number (7) as a mathematical unit and connect it to the alphabetical calculation of the phrases (ا ام اAl-Masjid Al-Haram. it shall have rest while seventy years are fulfilled. where they became his and his sons’ servants until the kingdom of the Persians came to power. refusing to obey all my commandments and breaking my covenant …You yourselves.land. All this was to fulfill the word of the LORD spoken by Jeremiah: “Until the land has retrieved its lost Sabbaths. if you reject my precepts and spurn my decrees. ا ء ا اءBani 82 . It is also mentioned that in the Second Book of Chronicles: “…Those who escaped the sword. Then.Second Book of Chronicles 36: 20-21) In the Jewish mind. I have found out that some of the Jews believe that the World will come to an end in theyear (6000) Hebrew and this is because the seventh thousand means extinction. the Sabbath year is connected with extinction. during all the time it lies waste. during all the time that it lies desolate. then shall the land have rest and make up for its Sabbaths. I will scatter among the nations at the point of my drawn sword. ا اAlMasjid Al-Aqsa.” After giving these details of the law of this seventh year. leaving your countryside desolate and your cities deserted. ا ا ءBanu Israel. he carried captive to Babylon.Leviticus 26: 14-35). it says in Chapter 26 “But if you not heed me and do not keep all these commandments.” (Bible. enjoying the rest you would not let it have on the Sabbaths when you lived there…(Bible. particularly with reference to the Holy Land. shall the land retrieve its lost Sabbaths during all the time it lies waste while you are in the land of your enemies. there is no "( " اpronounced as "alif") Arabic letter in the middle of the Arabic word for Israel ( ا ءIsrael). keeping in mind that the number of Sabbath years in (13) years is the same number of Sabbath years in (7) years until they become 14 years and so on. اas-Sabt) taking into consideration the difference in value whether written or spoken. the numerical value of the phrase ا اء (Bani Israel . the numerical value of ا ا ءBanu Israel is also 361. ء ( اIsrael) in the ( اAl-Sabt or Sabbath) is The numerical value of the word اء ( اAl-Israa) (name of Quran's Chapter 17 which is about Israelites) is 294. According to alphabetical mathematics. The numerical value for the word Othmanic script is 302. According to the Othmanic script. The numerical value for the phrase ا ام ( اAl-Masjid AlHaraam or Al-Haraam Mosque which is located in Mecca) is 418 (= 19 x 22). The numerical value of the phrase ( ا اءBanu Israel) is 361 (= 19 x 19). If it is written in the Othmanic script. The numerical value for the word 493. because the [alif] which was dropped from the word ( ا ءIsrael) was added to the word [ اbanu]. so the numerical value of ( ا ءBani Israel) becomes 364.means Israelites) is 365 and this is the same as the number of the days of the solar year. ا ءIsrael.Israael. 83 . . In modern history. the northern Kingdom (Israel) and later the southern kingdom (Judah) ended in the year 586 BC by the invasion of Jerusalem and destruction of the temple. there is only one Sabbath year.The numerical value of ا ( اAl-Masjid Al-Aqsa or AlAqsa Mosque) in Othmanic script is also 361 (= 19 x 19). As I mentioned earlier. In 13 years. On the basis of the connection made between the Sabbath years and exodus and the extinction from the Holy Land and using alphabetical mathematics. The first stage was in 1948 AD (when the Jews established the current state of Israel) and the second stage was the capture of Jerusalem in 1967 AD. the first extinction of the Jewish kingdoms occurred in 2 stages. Jews captured Palestine in two stages. there is one Sabbath year. So. 84 . which was the date of the first truce. The truce of 1967 was also on 10/ June/ 1967. In the fourteenth year. We should note that ا ( اAl-Masjid Al-Aqsa) was mentioned only once in the Holy Qur’an in Sura Al-Israa which is also referred to as Sura of Israelites. I have also pointed out earlier that the partial establishment of Israel was in 10/ June/ 1948. in every 7 years. If we know that the destruction of the temple and Jerusalem in the year 586 BC was on 8/ August/ 586 BC. we will use the Sabbath years as a mathematical unit. we would realize that the date 10/June in the years 1948 AD and 1967 AD makes the calculation of the years from 586 BC – 1948 AD and from 586 BC – 1967 AD less by two months. the second Sabbath year will occur. the Sabbath year was number 365 which represents a full cycle of the solar system. is equal to the numerical value of ا ا ءBanu Israel and of ا (اAl-Masjid Al-Aqsa or Al-Aqsa Mosque). The number of Sabbath years between 586 BC and 1967 AD is 364 which is equal to the numerical value of ا ءBani Israel (Israelites).354 = 11 days.364 = 11 Sabbath years. As the year 1443 H starts on 8th of August 2021. This indicates Judah lasted for about 136 years. This number "11" is repeated in a striking manner as illustrated below. we will have 375 Sabbath years. The period from the destruction of the Kingdom of Judah and the Jews leaving Jerusalem in 586 BC to the time of returning to Jerusalem in 1967 was 2553 years (= 364 Sabbath years). The Assyrians destroyed the Kingdom of Israel in 722 BC and the Babylonians destroyed the Kingdom of Judah in 586 BC. In other 85 . So. The approximate difference between the solar year and the lunar year is 365 . so the last 209 days of the age of Israel are the first 209 days of Hijra year 1443 (= 19 x 11). If we convert the number into lunar years. On 5th of March 2022. After Israel entered Jerusalem. the current Israel will have lasted 76 lunar years. this indicate that the year 1443 H overlaps 209 days with the year 2022 AD.So. as we have calculated above. covering 19 Sabbath years. the difference is 375 . Looking at this from another angle. the number of Sabbath years between 586 BC and 1948 AD is 361 (= 19 x 19) which. Work is supposed to be suspended during the seventh year. which is preceded by 6 years of work. 10 Sabbath years. In each Sabbath. So what are the 6 years? I multiplied the numerical value of [ اas-Sabt] by 6 and this is the result: 493 x 6 = 2958 and this is the same as the number of years from the beginning of 935 BC to the end of the year 2022 AD. sabtihim] so the number in total is 7 times.words. particularly if we consider the fact that 77 is equal to 7 x 11? Referring back to the Holy Qur’an. the first 209 days of 2022 AD are the last 209 days of the Hijra year 1443 H. Whilst verse 77 states that it was a ‘divine law’ both in the past and in the future. So how much longer is the solar year than the lunar year? It is interesting to notice that the solar year has 76 days more. I have noticed that the number of the words in verse 77 is 11. This number reminds us of the number 76 in Sura Al-Israa and the verse 76 that talks about expulsion. there are 7 complete years. As we have already seen. When the eleventh (11th) Sabbath year comes. Israel will have ended if the expectations are true. 86 .e. the numerical value of the word ( اAs-Sabt) is 493. My question is: Is there any relationship between this number 11 and the 11 Sabbath years mentioned earlier. According to the alphabetical mathematics. the Sabbath year is the seventh year. The age of Israel is 76 lunar years. which is approximately 74 solar years i. I found that the word Sabbath occurred 5 times as [ اas-Sabt] and twice as [ن yusbituna. 87 .the year of the destruction of the kingdom of Judah (in the South).the year of the destruction of the kingdom of Israel (in the North). I think that dating in Hebraic. We are now (in 1993 AD . yet we accept it and it becomes appropriate language.this book was written in 1993) in the Hebrew year 5735 and in light of what has been mentioned.Language is a human convention and the divine messages were sent to races in their various languages. it does not mean that we are certain that Christ ( peace be upon him) was born 1993 years ago. “Dr Maurice Buccaille supports the premise that the Pharaoh who was at time the exodus of Jews was Merenptah (the son of Rameses II) . I present you with this striking equation: 1204 BC . Islamic or Christian chronology is a kind of linguistic convention. Dr Mohammad Ali Al-Bar (1990) in his book God and the Prophets in the Torah and the Old Testament says.the year of the exodus of the Jews from Egypt 935 BC . which can be true or untrue.the year of the death of Solomon (peace be upon him). if it is said that this year is the year 1993 after the birth of Christ. 586 BC . 722 BC . so the year of the exodus was either in 1214 BC or 1204 BC ”. So we agree on this term. So. He became the king of Egypt in 1224 BC and ruled Egypt for ten years according to one view and for twenty years according to another. there is 38 Sabbath years (= 19 x 2).1948 AD . Therefore.From the year 1204 BC to the year 935 BC.the year of the most probable end of Israel.From the destruction of the northern kingdom in 722 BC to the destruction of the southern kingdom in 586 BC. from the beginning date of the Hebrew calendar to year of death of Solomon. A- The number of Hebrew years before the year 1204 BC (exodus from Egypt) equals 365 Sabbath years. 2022 AD .From the destruction of the southern kingdom in 586 BC to the second establishment of the current State of Israel in 1948 AD. there are 361 Sabbath years (= 19 x 19). there are 19 Sabbath years. F. 88 . there were 365 + 38 = 403 Sabbath years D. E. The Sabbath year of 365 was after entering Jerusalem and thereby a full solar cycle is completed. 1967 AD . B. which is equal to one orbit of the Earth around the sun.From destruction of the southern kingdom and the exodus from Jerusalem in 586 BC to the return to Jerusalem in 1967 AD.the year of establishing the current state of Israel. It is also the same number for the Sabbath year before the date of the exodus from Egypt. C.the year Israel captured Jerusalem. there are 364 Sabbath years. there are 364 Sabbath years.403 = 19 Sabbath years. there are 361 Sabbath years ( = 19 x 19 Sabbath years) and this the same as the numerical value for the phrases [ ا اAl-Masjid Al-Aqsa] and [ ا ا ءBanu Israel]. 4The date of entering Jerusalem and the completion of the Sabbath year 365 both fall within the multiplicity of 302 for the 89 .The number of Sabbath years from the death of Solomon (peace be upon him) to the anticipated extinction of the current Israel in 2022 AD is 422 Sabbath years. the Sabbath year 365 became complete in the year 1969 AD. Dear reader. 3After entering Jerusalem. on the basis of what I have presented to you previously.G. and this is the same as the numerical values for the phrase [ ا ءBani Israel] according to the Othmanic script. so the difference is 422 . 2From the destruction of Judah (and exodus from Jerusalem) in 586 BC to Israel's capturing of Jerusalem in 1967. The number of Sabbath years before the death of Solomon (peace be upon him) as calculated above in "C" is 403 Sabbath years. and this is the numerical value of the phrase [ ا اءBani Israael] as it is spoken. and to clarify the equation according to the units of Sabbath years: 1From the destruction of Judah (and exodus from Jerusalem) in 586 BC to establishing their current state of Israel in 1948. The numerical value of the word [ ديMiladi which refers to calendar years based on the birth of Jesus] is 95 . This number (302) is also the numerical value of the word [ إ ءIsrael].number 19 according to the Hebrew date. I have also directed your attention to the relationship between the year 779 and the two mosques of [Al-Haraam] and [Al-Aqsa]. 8The Sabbath year is in the seventh year. the numerical value of 2022 AD (year in which Israel is expected to end) is 2022 + 95 = 2117. as explained previously. So. the result is (493 x 6 =) 2958. I have noticed that the numerical value of [ saba' sineen which means 7 years] in alphabetical mathematics is 302 which is also the same numerical value of the word [ إ ءIsrael] in the Othmanic script. This is the same as the number of years from the beginning of 935 BC to the end of the year 2022 AD. 6. 7I have already noticed the total of the numerical values for [Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa+ Al-Masjid Al-Haraam] = 779 ( = 19 x 41). which contains 302 Sabbath years (we are going to explain the concept of Sabbath later). so what are the 6 years that precede the Sabbath year? If we multiply the numerical value of the word [ اas-Sabt] which is 493 by 6. I have also noticed also that the numerical value of [ إila] in alphabetical mathematics is 41. The number 302 is the value of the word [ ا ءIsrael] in the Othmanic script. 5We said earlier that in every seven years. there is one Sabbath year. 90 . اAl-Masjid Al-Aqsa Written & Spoken. اء اAl-Israa 294 Total 493 Written & Spoken. اas-Sabt Written & Spoken. 2958 91 . ا ءIsraeel 302 Written . it has been calculated as written & spoken in [Bani Israeel]. Bani Israaeel Spoken. ا ء 364 ا اء 365 Bani Israeel Written. ا ا ءBanu Israeel 361 Written & Spoken. which we have discussed after adding the name of the Sura Al-Israa which discusses the two instances of corruption that will be committed by Israelites and God's punishment: ا ام 418 361 ا اAl-Masjid Al-Haraam Written & Spoken.9The ultimate surprise here is that the number 2958 is the total of the numerical values of the phrases and words. After another 5730 years. A quantity of Carbon-14 will decay to half of its original amount (on average) after 5730 years. I have found that the number of years from the fall of Judah and exodus from Jerusalem in 586 BC to re-entering Jerusalem in 1967 makes 76 cycles!! So there are 4 completed cycles after entering Jerusalem: A.The 302 th cycle of 19 years: This 302 th cycle starts from 301 x 19 = Hebrew year 5719 (around 1959 AD) and ends in 302 x 19 = Hebrew year 5738 (around 1978 AD).8752 days (about 11 days). regardless of how big or small the original quantity was. B. Therefore. This means that the solar year and the lunar year will coincide after 33. which is used by archaeologists in determining the age of man and human civilizations.Four Cycles The difference between the number of the days in the solar year and in the lunar year is 10. Since the numerical value of 92 .The Carbon 14 cycle: Year 1969 AD coincides with the Hebrew year 5730 and what draws attention here is that this number of years represents the half-life of Carbon14. So this cycle takes 33. Scientists have discovered that the radioactive decay of Carbon-14 is exponential and has a halflife of 5730 years. slightly after reentering Jerusalem again in 1967. year 1967 AD (in which Jerusalem was captured by Israel) is close to the middle of this cycle. C.The solar cycle of the Sabbath year 365 starting from the exodus from Jerusalem in 586 BC until 1969.58487 years.6 solar years. one-quarter of the original will remain. which is the year of Al-Israa [Prophet Mohammad's ملسو يلع للا ىلصovernight journey to Jerusalem].e.the word [ ا ءIsraeel] is 302 . We said that there is a cycle which represents the relationship between the solar year and the lunar year with the value 33.02 = 76 cycles].6 solar years. This means that the 19th cycle after Christ's birth lies between 604 AD and 638 AD.76 cycles.58487 = 76. It can also be noticed that the middle of this 19th cycle is 621 AD. D. 93 .6 solar years. that means Israel capturing of Jerusalem during the 302 th cycle which is Israel's Cycle. It is noticeable that the Prophet Mohammad ملسو يلع للا ىلصstarted receiving the revelations of the Quran 6 years after the beginning of this cycle i. 610 AD. in 632 AD.e. That means the laws of nature were in favor of Israel during that period from 1959 to1978 so wonder why Israel won 1967 war so easily and captured Jerusalem and Sinai. He also died 6 years before the end of the cycle: i. from fall of Judah and the exodus from Jerusalem in 586 BC to Israel's recapturing of Jerusalem in 1967 [(586 + 1967) divided by 33. each of which is 33. such as Jews. in the Abecedarian alphabet.ض . The Jewish clergy use it extensively. Other nations. The numerical value sometimes is referred to as Gematical or Geometrical value. Thus. It is not easy trace the origin of the Abecedarian order and the calculations associated with it in Semitic languages because views on this matter have diverged to such a way that it is difficult to decide which is right.تAfter that. Sufis have overused it. it has been abused later. but the Hebrew and Abecedarian Arabic systems only coincide up to the letter .ثand غwhich can be combined in the mnemonic (though meaningless) phrase thakhath dathagh. Arabs call such values Jum'mal. etc. magicians and sorcerers have used it too. What concerns us about this Abecedarian order is the link between it and the Jum’mal numerical values of the letters.خ . Arabic has the extra letters ظ . In the Jum’mal. there are 28 because there is considered to be no difference between the letters Hamza and Alif. The Arabic alphabet comprises 29 letters. Calculating such values can be referred to as Alphabetical Mathematics. the Arabs developed a system for assigning a numerical value for each Arabic letter. Muslims have used it in historical dating. such system were used for various purposes such as dating events. However. although the calculation may have had a religious basis. Historically. have also developed similar systems. and fortune-tellers. specifically for their alphabets.ذ . The system is common to both Hebrew and Arabic.Numerical Values of Letters & Alphabetical Mathematics Before Islam. it is noticed that there is no difference 94 .

He ended the last verse by dating Dalenjawi's death with the phrase “ ت اPoetry died after him. When a poet called Dalenjawi died. his friend eulogized him in a poem. Thus.” This came after the words “I dated this…” which indicated the point at which to begin counting.م ن س ع ف ص ق ر ش ت ث خ ذ ض ظ غ m n s 'a f s q r sh t th kh z dh zh gh 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000 Examples of Usage The following is an example of how Numerical Values of alphabets were used by the Arabs for dating events. a Burji Mamluk. It seems that they chose a humorous phrase. We have used it for generations so why don’t we reconsider using it again since we have found it to be beneficial. Sufi and Shafi’i jurist. so the implication in current usage at least is of transience]. magic and sorcery has created negative associations with a system that is not intrinsically negative. 97 . an interpreter. and thus Sultan Barquq died in 801 H. This phrase was ( اfil-mishmish). Muhammad Ben Omar Nuwawi Al-Jawi. He produced many works. When Sultan Barquq. even for a book on Qur’anic interpretation. the misuse of this system in the areas of fortune telling. died. The total is 801. but also the numerical values of the phrase are 80+10+1+30+40+300+40+300. It is clear that this use of calculation in chronology is thus not objectionable from a religious viewpoint because it is a matter of convention and is thus permissible. However. literally: “In the apricot (season)” which is very short.400 + 1+ 30+ 300 + 70 + 200 + 2 + 70 + 4 + 5 =1123 H. migrated to Makka and died there in the year 1316 H. [It means. احIt is clear from these words that he chose a title to conform to the Jum’mal system to show the date he began writing his book (1304 H). I have cited this particular example to give evidence of a Muslim scholar’s attitude towards the question of theJum’mal system and to show that nothing was found to be wrong in using such a system. a phrase was coined indicating the date of his death. one of which is a two-volume interpretation of the Qur’an in which he said in the introduction: “I have titled this book to confirm to its date” – ان ى ا . ا اand they replied that he had confused them and they know longer knew which Faith to follow. They calculated the numerical values of the letters of the opening and said: “How can we enjoin a religion that will last only seventy-one years?” The Prophet (pbuh) smiled. In Shihab’s commentary on Baidawi’s interpretation he says: “ This Hadith was verified by Bukhari in his history and by Ibn Jarir through Ibn Issac Al-Kalbi… Its chain of narrators is weak.” Thus we cannot rely on Baidawi’s conclusion. What matters is that there is neither evidence for denial nor confirmation. says in his interpretation of the opening of Sura Al-Baqara that the Prophet ملسو يلع للا ىلصwas approached by the Jews and he recited to them the opening of Al-Baqara. we assume that the Qur’an has used this linguistic convention of the Semitic languages.ا .Another famous Qur’anic commentator. Baidawi comments on this Hadith by saying: “His reciting to them in this order and his confirmation of their inference…” Thus. the Qur’an was revealed in Arabic! Imam As-Syuti thinks that alphabetical mathematics has no place in Sharia (Islamic law) and I agree with as-Siuti's 98 . we find that confirmation is more likely in the light of this weak Hadith. We can prove by deduction that the Qur’an has kept some secrets in certain words and clauses and therefore. After all. Baidawi considers that the Apostle (pbuh) confirmed their inference. Although we must be careful not to assume that we are building on absolutely solid foundations. though on the other hand the Prophet never said anything that denied that Jum’mal had a religious basis. Baidawi. They said: “Is there anything else?” He said: . opinion, but on the other hand there is not any evidence to reject this method of counting. The exception to this was if magicians or fortune-tellers use it. It was used by the Jews to interpret the symbols of their prophecies. Here we are only exploring things without advocating that alphabetical mathematics is the core in the equations. It is convenient for us here to present our comments to the reader from the point of view that alphabetical mathematics can be seen as a branch to enrich and dash more light on things and no more. Since language suggests meanings there is no reason to prevent it from suggesting numerical values. The question is: How can we know that a certain phrase in the Qur’an carries such a numerical secret? Our answer to this is that this has to be proven either through Islamic legal methods or by reasoning. The reader will find that our approach to this question is new and has nothing to do with the Sufis or others, whether they did the right thing or erred and deviated. We are satisfied that the reader will be convinced by the examples of the Jum’mal system that we will give that are based only on induction and not hearsay. What I am presenting here is the result of an investigation, which I found to be in order with the results of chapter two of this booklet. Without the results of this chapter, it does not mean anything to me. We should notice here that alphabetical mathematics is only a human term and it concludes that many words can have the same number. Consequently, one word or a phrase can denote more than one identity. So, if a word is used to date the death of a person: it can also be used to give the name of a person or a date of a battle, a solar date, or a lunar date and so forth. 99 The writing of the Holy Qur’an known as Othmanic script is tawqifi (meaning it is divinely ordained and was supervised by Prophet Mohammad . ملسو يلع للا ىلصThis is the opinion of the majority of the scholars. This can be easily proven today after discovering some of the miraculous mathematical formulae of the Holy Qur'an. It has become clear tome that there are secrets for this kind of script, not only on the mathematical level but also some of the secrets can be hidden in words and sentences and can be reached through calculating the numerical values of letters. This does not mean that every word or sentence contains a secret, but we must investigate and admire the coincidence, which we find sometimes. I have many examples of this, but here I will only use the words and phrases that I have found to re-exemplify the previous equation, which is the main theme of our topic. The following are few examples of applying Numerical Values of Arabic Letters to the Prophecies about the Jews: 1. In verse 104 of Sura Israa: ،ا ا رض ً ذا ء و ُ ا ة ِ َ ا َا إ ِ و The order of the word ( افيفلmixed crowd) if we start counting the words from the beginning reference to the prophecy is 1443. We also find that the numerical value of ذا ء و ُ ا ةis 2022. As we have come to the ِ َ conclusion before, the current State of Israel is expected to end in 2022 AD (which is 1443 H in Hijri calendar) 100 2. The order of the word ( افيفلmixed crowd) as we have indicated above 1443. This means that the order of the 4 words that follow it ُ َ ْ َ ْ و ِ ْ َ َ َل و ِ ْ َ أis: 1444, 1445, 1446, 1447. َ َ َ The total of these numbers is: 1444 + 1445+ 1446+ 1447 = 5782 . This is year according to the Hebrew calendar that is equal to 2022 AD and 1443 H. 3. The Sura of Al-Israa is the chapter that talks about the prophecy of the second warning as if it were the chapter of warning (or promise). The numerical value in alphabetical mathematics of the word اAl-wa'ad (which means Promise or Warning) is 111 and this is the same as the number of the verses of Sura Al-Israa. 4. The day on which 76 lunar years from 10/6/1948 AD (the date of the first truce which is the effective date for establishing Israel) will be complete is 5/ 3/ 2022 AD (Saturday, March 5, 2022). The days from March 5 till the end of that year is 302 which happens to be the numerical value of the word Israel in Arabic ( )ليءرسإas it appears in Othmanic script of Quran. Furthermore, the numerical value of + 5 + تبسلا ( راذSaturday + 5 + March) = 493 + 5 + 903 = 1401 . The numerical value of ( نورشعو ننثاو نافلأTwo Thousand Twenty Two) is 1401. So the total numerical value of ننثاو نافلأ + راذ + 5 + تبسلا ( نورشعوSaturday, 5 March 2022) is 2802 which is also equal 101 The numerical value of the word [ ديMiladi which refers to calendar years based on the birth of Jesus] is 95 . Most scholar believe that Israa occurred on the 76th day of the lunar year. The numerical value of لوح انكرب يذلاis 1063. Note that the number of years from Israa (621 AD) to the year of the expected end of Israel (2022 AD) is 1401. as explained previously. So. 5. This is an indication that the Israelis will remain occupying the Al-Aqsa Mosque and its surroundings for 76 years. This is the same numerical value of [ نوثبليThey remain] which is mentioned in verse 76 of Sura Israa. the numerical value of 2022 AD (year in which Israel is expected to end) is 2022 + 95 = 2117. (b) The numerical value of [ نوثبليThey 102 . This is the last verse in the Quran that mentions the word Saturday (Sabbath). (a) Al-Aqsa Mosque is referred to in the Quran as: انكرب يذلا [ لوحThe one which we have blessed in surroundings] . This number (302) is also the numerical value of the word [ إ ءIsrael]. which contains 302 Sabbath years (we are going to explain the concept of Sabbath later). The number 76 have special significance in connection with several matters in Sura Israa. 6.to the numerical value of the verse 16 of Chapter 124 that says: ّ ا إ ا ا ُ ّ [ ُ ِ َ اThe Sabbath was decreed on those who differed about it] . the Southern Kingdom. was destroyed in 722 BC. Both of them were the 19th (nineteenth) king in each of their kingdoms (since the split occurred in the Jewish Kingdom after Solomon's death). 7. It is interesting to note that 1661 is also the numerical value of the term " 1443 ( " يرجHijri) = 1443 + 218 = 1661. This further confirms our view that this Sura Israa is meant to reveal the secrets about the second instance of corruption and the punishment of God against them. but they spread corruption on Earth for the second time. Judah remained until 586 BC. Whereas. The Northern Kingdom of the Israelites. would like to add an observation. The last king of the Northern Kingdom was (عشوHoshea). including the year in which this punishment will occur. As we have indicated before.org. 103 . نوثبليwe get: 598 + 1063 = 1661 . ending the current State of Israel. 8. called Israel. The numerical value of ِ ّ +هis 586 which is the year 586 BC in which the last Jewish Kingdom was destroyed. at DiscoveringIslam. 1443 H (or 2022 AD) is the expected year for the fall of Israel. The order of the word نوثبليin Sura Israa is 1063. Sura Israa discussed the Promise of the End that will occur after the Jews go back to the Holy Land (establish the current State of Israel). We. As we have indicated before. if we add these two numbers which are connected to the word . So.remain] is 598. The numerical value of the word ( دعولاPromise) is 111 which is also the number of verses in Sura Israa. The last king of the Southern Kingdom was ّ ِ ِ (Zedekiah). Sabbath in Judaism Bible's Book of Leviticus says: “The LORD said to Moses on Mount Sinai. refusing to obey all my commandments and breaking my covenant …You yourselves. We feel this is not a coincidence. it says in Chapter 26 “But if you not heed me and do not keep all these commandments. prune your vineyard. a Sabbath for the Lord. when you may neither sow your field.Leviticus 26: 14-35). enjoying the rest you would not let it have on the Sabbaths when you lived there…(Bible. if you reject my precepts and spurn my decrees. I will scatter among the nations at the point of my drawn sword. during all the time that it lies desolate. then shall the land have rest and make up for its Sabbaths. It is also mentioned that in the Second Book of Chronicles: “…Those who escaped the sword.The name of this Sura ( إ اءIsraa) is very close to the name ( ا اءIsrael). both in Arabic and in English. nor shall you pick the grapes of your untrimmed vines in this year of Sabbath rest for the land. and for six years. shall the land retrieve its lost Sabbaths during all the time it lies waste while you are in the land of your enemies. Speak to the Israelites and tell them: when you enter the land that I am giving you…For six years.” After giving these details of the law of this seventh year. leaving your countryside desolate and your cities deserted. he carried captive 104 . nor prune your vineyard. you shall not reap. Then. gathering in your produce. But during the seventh year.

I thought it would be appropriate to take the number (7) as a mathematical unit and connect it to the alphabetical calculation of the phrases (ا ام اAl-Masjid Al-Haram. so the numerical value of ( ا ءBani Israel) becomes 364. there is no "( " اpronounced as "alif") Arabic letter in the middle of the Arabic word for Israel ( ا ءIsrael). ا ء ا اءBani Israael. particularly with reference to the Holy Land. According to the Othmanic script. The numerical value of the phrase 105 اء ا (Banu Israel) .to Babylon. during all the time it lies waste. the numerical value of the phrase ا اء (Bani Israel . I have found out that some of the Jews believe that the World will come to an end in theyear (6000) Hebrew and this is because the seventh thousand means extinction. All this was to fulfill the word of the LORD spoken by Jeremiah: “Until the land has retrieved its lost Sabbaths.” (Bible. the Sabbath year is connected with extinction. According to alphabetical mathematics.means Israelites) is 365 and this is the same as the number of the days of the solar year. we will use the Sabbath years as a mathematical unit. ء ( اIsrael) in the ( اAl-Sabt or Sabbath) is The numerical value of the word اء ( اAl-Israa) (name of Quran's Chapter 17 which is about Israelites) is 294. In 13 years. If it is written in the Othmanic script. there is one Sabbath year. The numerical value for the word 493. The numerical value for the phrase ا ام ( اAl-Masjid AlHaraam or Al-Haraam Mosque which is located in Mecca) is 418 (= 19 x 22). in every 7 years. the second Sabbath year will occur. We should note that ا ( اAl-Masjid Al-Aqsa) was mentioned only once in the Holy Qur’an in Sura Al-Israa which is also referred to as Sura of Israelites. In the fourteenth year. the numerical value of ا ا ءBanu Israel is also 361. So. On the basis of the connection made between the Sabbath years and exodus and the extinction from the Holy Land and using alphabetical mathematics. The numerical value of ا ( اAl-Masjid Al-Aqsa or AlAqsa Mosque) in Othmanic script is also 361 (= 19 x 19). because the [alif] which was dropped from the word ( ا ءIsrael) was added to the word [ اbanu]. there is only one Sabbath year.is 361 (= 19 x 19). 106 . The numerical value for the word Othmanic script is 302. As I mentioned earlier, the first extinction of the Jewish kingdoms occurred in 2 stages, the northern Kingdom (Israel) and later the southern kingdom (Judah) ended in the year 586 BC by the invasion of Jerusalem and destruction of the temple. In modern history, Jews captured Palestine in two stages. The first stage was in 1948 AD (when the Jews established the current state of Israel) and the second stage was the capture of Jerusalem in 1967 AD. I have also pointed out earlier that the partial establishment of Israel was in 10/ June/ 1948, which was the date of the first truce. The truce of 1967 was also on 10/ June/ 1967. If we know that the destruction of the temple and Jerusalem in the year 586 BC was on 8/ August/ 586 BC, we would realize that the date 10/June in the years 1948 AD and 1967 AD makes the calculation of the years from 586 BC – 1948 AD and from 586 BC – 1967 AD less by two months. So, the number of Sabbath years between 586 BC and 1948 AD is 361 (= 19 x 19) which, as we have calculated above, is equal to the numerical value of ا ا ءBanu Israel and of ا (اAl-Masjid Al-Aqsa or Al-Aqsa Mosque). The number of Sabbath years between 586 BC and 1967 AD is 364 which is equal to the numerical value of ا ءBani Israel (Israelites). After Israel entered Jerusalem, the Sabbath year was number 365 which represents a full cycle of the solar system. The Assyrians destroyed the Kingdom of Israel in 722 BC and the Babylonians destroyed the Kingdom of Judah in 586 BC. This indicates Judah lasted for about 136 years, covering 19 107 Sabbath years The period from the destruction of the Kingdom of Judah and the Jews leaving Jerusalem in 586 BC to the time of returning to Jerusalem in 1967 was 2553 years (= 364 Sabbath years). If we convert the number into lunar years, we will have 375 Sabbath years. So, the difference is 375 - 364 = 11 Sabbath years. This number "11" is repeated in a striking manner as illustrated below. The approximate difference between the solar year and the lunar year is 365 - 354 = 11 days. On 5th of March 2022, the current Israel will have lasted 76 lunar years. As the year 1443 H starts on 8th of August 2021, so the last 209 days of the age of Israel are the first 209 days of Hijra year 1443 (= 19 x 11). Looking at this from another angle, this indicate that the year 1443 H overlaps 209 days with the year 2022 AD. In other words, the first 209 days of 2022 AD are the last 209 days of the Hijra year 1443 H. The age of Israel is 76 lunar years, which is approximately 74 solar years i.e. 10 Sabbath years. When the eleventh (11th) Sabbath year comes, Israel will have ended if the expectations are true. In each Sabbath, there are 7 complete years. So how much longer is the solar year than the lunar year? It is interesting to notice that the solar year has 76 days more. This number reminds us of the number 76 in Sura Al-Israa and the verse 76 that talks about expulsion. Whilst verse 77 states that it was a ‘divine law’ both in the past and in the future. I have noticed 108 that the number of the words in verse 77 is 11. My question is: Is there any relationship between this number 11 and the 11 Sabbath years mentioned earlier, particularly if we consider the fact that 77 is equal to 7 x 11? Referring back to the Holy Qur’an, I found that the word Sabbath occurred 5 times as [ اas-Sabt] and twice as [ن yusbituna. sabtihim] so the number in total is 7 times. According to the alphabetical mathematics, the numerical value of the word ( اAs-Sabt) is 493. As we have already seen, the Sabbath year is the seventh year, which is preceded by 6 years of work. Work is supposed to be suspended during the seventh year. So what are the 6 years? I multiplied the numerical value of [ اas-Sabt] by 6 and this is the result: 493 x 6 = 2958 and this is the same as the number of years from the beginning of 935 BC to the end of the year 2022 AD. Language is a human convention and the divine messages were sent to races in their various languages. I think that dating in Hebraic, Islamic or Christian chronology is a kind of linguistic convention. So, if it is said that this year is the year 1993 after the birth of Christ, it does not mean that we are certain that Christ ( peace be upon him) was born 1993 years ago. So we agree on this term, which can be true or untrue, yet we accept it and it becomes appropriate language. Dr Mohammad Ali Al-Bar (1990) in his book God and the Prophets in the Torah and the Old Testament says, “Dr Maurice Buccaille supports the premise that the Pharaoh who was at 109 I present you with this striking equation: 1204 BC .this book was written in 1993) in the Hebrew year 5735 and in light of what has been mentioned. 1948 AD . He became the king of Egypt in 1224 BC and ruled Egypt for ten years according to one view and for twenty years according to another.the year of the destruction of the kingdom of Israel (in the North). B. 586 BC . 722 BC . which is equal to one orbit of the Earth around the sun.the year of the most probable end of Israel. there is 38 Sabbath years (= 19 x 2).the year of the exodus of the Jews from Egypt 935 BC .the year Israel captured Jerusalem.the year of the death of Solomon (peace be upon him). 2022 AD .time the exodus of Jews was Merenptah (the son of Rameses II) .the year of establishing the current state of Israel. We are now (in 1993 AD . A- The number of Hebrew years before the year 1204 BC (exodus from Egypt) equals 365 Sabbath years. 1967 AD .From the year 1204 BC to the year 935 BC. 110 . so the year of the exodus was either in 1214 BC or 1204 BC ”.the year of the destruction of the kingdom of Judah (in the South). there were 365 + 38 = 403 Sabbath years D. so the difference is 422 . The number of Sabbath years before the death of Solomon (peace be upon him) as calculated above in "C" is 403 Sabbath years. there are 19 Sabbath years. E.From the destruction of the southern kingdom in 586 BC to the second establishment of the current State of Israel in 1948 AD.From destruction of the southern kingdom and the exodus from Jerusalem in 586 BC to the return to Jerusalem in 1967 AD. It is also the same number for the Sabbath year before the date of the exodus from Egypt.C. and to clarify the equation according to the units of Sabbath years: 111 .From the destruction of the northern kingdom in 722 BC to the destruction of the southern kingdom in 586 BC. The Sabbath year of 365 was after entering Jerusalem and thereby a full solar cycle is completed. G. from the beginning date of the Hebrew calendar to year of death of Solomon. on the basis of what I have presented to you previously. Therefore. there are 361 Sabbath years (= 19 x 19). there are 364 Sabbath years.The number of Sabbath years from the death of Solomon (peace be upon him) to the anticipated extinction of the current Israel in 2022 AD is 422 Sabbath years.403 = 19 Sabbath years. Dear reader. F. This number 112 . and this is the same as the numerical values for the phrase [ ا ءBani Israel] according to the Othmanic script. 5We said earlier that in every seven years. The number 302 is the value of the word [ ا ءIsrael] in the Othmanic script. and this is the numerical value of the phrase [ ا اءBani Israael] as it is spoken. there are 361 Sabbath years ( = 19 x 19 Sabbath years) and this the same as the numerical value for the phrases [ ا اAl-Masjid Al-Aqsa] and [ ا ا ءBanu Israel]. the Sabbath year 365 became complete in the year 1969 AD. The numerical value of the word [ ديMiladi which refers to calendar years based on the birth of Jesus] is 95 . there is one Sabbath year. I have noticed that the numerical value of [ saba' sineen which means 7 years] in alphabetical mathematics is 302 which is also the same numerical value of the word [ إ ءIsrael] in the Othmanic script. 4The date of entering Jerusalem and the completion of the Sabbath year 365 both fall within the multiplicity of 302 for the number 19 according to the Hebrew date. 3After entering Jerusalem. the numerical value of 2022 AD (year in which Israel is expected to end) is 2022 + 95 = 2117. 2From the destruction of Judah (and exodus from Jerusalem) in 586 BC to Israel's capturing of Jerusalem in 1967. which contains 302 Sabbath years (we are going to explain the concept of Sabbath later). 6. So. there are 364 Sabbath years.1From the destruction of Judah (and exodus from Jerusalem) in 586 BC to establishing their current state of Israel in 1948. 8The Sabbath year is in the seventh year. اAl-Masjid Al-Aqsa Written & Spoken. ء ا Bani Israeel 113 . I have also directed your attention to the relationship between the year 779 and the two mosques of [Al-Haraam] and [Al-Aqsa]. which we have discussed after adding the name of the Sura Al-Israa which discusses the two instances of corruption that will be committed by Israelites and God's punishment: ا ام 418 361 ا اAl-Masjid Al-Haraam Written & Spoken.(302) is also the numerical value of the word [ ء explained previously. I have also noticed also that the numerical value of [ إila] in alphabetical mathematics is 41. as 7I have already noticed the total of the numerical values for [Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa+ Al-Masjid Al-Haraam] = 779 ( = 19 x 41). so what are the 6 years that precede the Sabbath year? If we multiply the numerical value of the word [ اas-Sabt] which is 493 by 6. 9The ultimate surprise here is that the number 2958 is the total of the numerical values of the phrases and words. the result is (493 x 6 =) 2958.

This means that the solar year and the lunar year will coincide after 33.8752 days (about 11 days).The solar cycle of the Sabbath year 365 starting from the exodus from Jerusalem in 586 BC until 1969. I have found that the number of years from the fall of Judah and exodus from Jerusalem in 586 BC to re-entering Jerusalem in 1967 makes 76 cycles!!

D. Since the numerical value of the word [ ا ءIsraeel] is 302 . A quantity of Carbon-14 will decay to half of its original amount (on average) after 5730 years. After another 5730 years.

They were also consistent with the context. and so that people will not fancy that because some of its prophecies came true. which necessitates that we should rethink the premises of history and its laws. Those remarks confirm that we are on the right track in searching for a comprehensive law to govern history and monitor its movement. which are codes? Is it right to ignore these inductive observations? So that some people will not think we deal with these observations on the basis of accepting the propositions of the Old Testament or assuming the truthfulness of its prophecies.

Condemn us not if we forget or fall into error.In principle. So what is suitable to one age and to one nation may not be suitable to other nations and ages. therefore. 4Allah almighty sent messengers and revealed messages and preserves the ones He wishes for a reason he knows best and some He wishes to be forgotten for His own reasons. our Lord!

We believe that the Torah was ‘doctored’ or distorted but not completely changed. but I found my self forced through an inductive process. Allah is the one who led me to success. Conclusion I did not wish to indulge in these issues. 118 . the more I look again. the more I discover new findings such as the remarks for follow up which I appended several days after I had finished writing this booklet. I do not think that this is the end of the road. So I hope that the reader will inform me of anything new in the matter or detect any faults that need correction. I believe that it is my duty to present this research to the reader to reach their own conclusions. as I know an informer can be more aware than a listener.this should vary according to the variations between nations and ages until the comprehensive universal Islamic Sharia (law) was revealed. but did not destroy the Jewish Kingdoms. through the U.
