Dr. Rashad Khalifa

1935 - 1990

The biochemist who discovered the mathematical code of the Quran in 1974, revealing a protection system hidden for 1,400 years.

The Discovery of the 19 Code

In 1969, Dr. Khalifa began entering the Quran into a computer, a pioneering effort at the time. What started as a simple digitization project led to a groundbreaking discovery in 1974.

Using computer analysis, he discovered that the Quran is built on a mathematical structure based on the number 19. For 1,400 years, hundreds of Muslim and Orientalist scholars had attempted to understand the Quranic Initials without success. The code remained hidden until modern computing made systematic analysis possible.

The Mathematical Timing

The timing of the discovery itself contains mathematical patterns:

•

Discovery year: 1974 = The same as Sura 74, which mentions "19"

•

From the Quran's revelation (610 CE) to the discovery (1974): 1,406 lunar years = 19 × 74

•

The root of "Rashad" (RŞD) appears in the Quran exactly 19 times

Masjid Tucson

In 1977, Dr. Khalifa established Masjid Tucson in Arizona. The mosque became a center for studying the mathematical code and promoting a Quran-centered approach to Islam.

Dr. Khalifa is identified in Masjid Tucson's literature as the "Messenger of the Covenant" (Rasool al-Mithaq), a concept based on Quranic verses 3:81 and 33:7. Those who wish to explore this claim in depth and examine the evidence can visit:

Legacy

Dr. Khalifa was assassinated on January 31, 1990, in Tucson, Arizona. His discovery, however, continues to inspire researchers worldwide who study the mathematical structure of the Quran.

The mathematical code he unveiled serves as verifiable evidence that the Quran has been perfectly preserved. This discovery opened a new field of Quranic studies based on empirical, mathematical analysis.

The significance of Dr. Khalifa's work lies not in the person, but in what was discovered: a mathematical proof that the Quran is protected by God. The code stands independent of any individual, serving as a timeless testament to divine preservation.
