The Quran:
Why Sura 9?
Now we learn that the missing Basmalah is one of the signs from the Most Gracious, Most Merciful that Sura 9 has been tampered with. More specifically, two false verses were added to the end of Sura 9 after the last verse 127. There is absolutely no doubt that verses 9:128 and 9:129 do not belong to the Quran. The evidence for these verses being false and added to the Quran after Muhammads death is overwhelming.
9:128-129: The Suspects
From an historical point of view, these false verses have been sus-pected for more than 1300 years, as documented in such classical references as Bukhari, Al-Itqaan-i Suyooty, Ibn Kaheer, and others. Some of the findings in these documents indicate that Muhammads cousin Ali knew that false verses had been added to the Quran, and he said he was going to do something about it. He actually did something about it. He and his son Hussein fought to remove these false verses from the Quran. They did not fight for power as an-nounced by their enemies who killed them and many others who supported them. (For more information, please refer to Appendix 24, Tampering With The Word of God, "Quran: The Final Testament-Authorized English Version," Translated From the Original by Rashad Khalifa, Ph.D.)
Also, according to these Islamic references, every single verse in the Quran was verified by a multiplic-ity of witnesses. The only exception was for Verses 9:128 and 129. These verses were found only with Khuzeimah Ibn Thaabet Al-Ansaary, one of the late companions of the prophet. When some people questioned this improper exception, someone came up with a Hadith (saying) which stated that "the testimony of Khuzeimah equals the testimony of two men!"
Strangely, the traditional Quran printings indicate that Sura 9 is "Medinan" (revealed in Medina), except the last two verses, which they indicate as being "Meccan." The question is how could these "Meccan" verses be found with Khuzeimah, a late Medinan Muslim, when the universal convention has been to label as "Medinan" all revelations after the prophets Hijerah (emigration) from Mecca?!
The injection of the two false verses 9:128 and 9:129 was in accordance with Gods will. These verses demonstrated one of the major functions of the Qurans mathematical system, and proved that no falsehood could enter into the Quran, as promised by God (41:42). The false verses also resulted in an awesome miracle in its own right, by Gods grace and wisdom.
If anyone wishes to do so, following the link at the top (From which I reproduced a part for this post), there is an interesting 'delve' into numerological relationships in the Quran; This particularly interests me, as a subject.
Is there any relevence given in Christianity (or any other Faith, for that matter) to numerological associations in the Bible ?
If so, are these useful ? - do they indicate anything ?
The Quran:
Numerically Structured Book
Every sura (chapter) in the Quran opens with the statement "In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful," known as the Basmalah, with the exception of Sura 9. This conspicuous absence of the Basmalah from Sura 9 has been an intriguing feature of the Quran for 14 centuries. Many theories have been advanced to explain this phenomenon.
