WHY WAS THE QURAN REVEALED? (PART 1)
I seek refuge in Allah from satan the rejected.
In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful.
In my earlier sermons, I have stated and confirmed that the Quran was revealed on the night of 27th of Ramadan, through God’s proofs. It was clearly the will of God to choose this particular night over all nights. Last week, you were shown the Miracle involved in the chapter number 97, bringing out the value of “Al-Islam -162”, being the reason for choosing this number for this chapter. Similarly, God chose the number 27 for the revelation of Quran in that particular night, to a human being called Muhammad, for the delivery of this heavy message to mankind. Just like 97 revealed 162, similarly, the number 27 is revealed through the values of Al-Quran and the Night of Destiny.
Revealed: The GV of Al-Quran = 383 and GV of Night of Destiny = 410, revealing the diff. of 27, Subhan Allah.
Revealed: Reflect and you will see that the digits of Al-Quran 383 add up to (3+8+3) = 14, revealing the Seven Pairs.
Revealed: Reflect and see that the combined digits of both words add up to (3+8+3) + (4+1+0) = 19, thus revealing both the Sacred Codes of 14 and 19, while having also revealed the difference of 27 between their gematrical values, Alhumdo Lillah.
This should answer your curiosity as to why Allah chose the names and dates of His Sacred Words. If you want to appreciate God’s marvels, then I will give you a couple more miracles to reflect on, though these are unending:
The most oft-repeated words for His scripture are Al-Quran, 383 and Quran 352. The difference is 31. This number is “Matched” by giving 31 occurrences in chapter 55, Al-Rahman, which says:
Chapter 55: Which of your Lord’s marvels can you deny? (occurs 31 times in the chapter)
Revealed: The Allah letters are 6, and messenger’s letters are 7, revealing the diff. of 1, Glory be to God. The verse itself has revealed a profound
“marvel” – this “revelation of 1 (God)” through this messenger. The entire
Quran and its proofs are a marvel of God, and so is everything that He created and provides for.
By adding the values of Al-Quran, 383 and Quran 352, the sum is 735. Now reflect on this number and the verses created through it – 7:35 and 73:5.
7:35 Part 1: O children of Adam, when messengers come to you from among you, and recite My revelations to you.
7:35 Part 2: Those who take heed and lead a righteous life, will have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.
Revealed: The Aleefs are 5 and 4, revealing the diff. of 1 – You can only believe in the Absoluteness of God by accepting His messengers.
73:5 We will give you a heavy message.
Revealed: The messenger’s letters are 14 – revealing, that the message sent through me is based on the Seven Pairs.
Revealed: These two verses 7:35 and 73:5 are further linked and woven together, by another miracle: the Allah letters are 17 and 8 respectively, revealing the “PATTERN of 178” representing the messenger’s name, Makbool. This was a heavy message then and now. This gave you a quick overview of God’s Miracles encoded in His Sacred Words, and everything has a basis and a reason, whether it is in script or numbers; they involve human messengers chosen by Him for the delivery of His revelations, Subhan Allah.
Anything that comes from God is always “blessed”; for example, the water from the rain sent by Him for multiple uses of humans, is also called “blessed” in 50:9. The Words of God revealed on the 27th night of Ramadan is called the “Blessed Night” as well as the “Night of Destiny”. Through the revelation of the Quran, God reaffirmed the name of His religion, “Submission-162” and sent down to the humans the “correct laws” that had been corrupted and distorted by the followers of the previous scriptures. The Quran came with the good news for the believers and brought a WARNING for the hypocrites and the disbelievers.
97:1 We revealed it in the Night of Destiny.
44:3 We have sent it down in a Blessed Night, for we are to WARN.
Revealed: The Aleefs are 4 and 5, revealing the diff. of 1 – the Quran came from the One, Absolute God.
2
Revealed: The GV of messenger’s letters are 390 and 552, revealing the diff. of 162 – through the Quran, GOD sent down the correct laws of ISLAM (Submission, 162) through His messengers.
GOD, not only revealed the Quran in the “Blessed Night of the 27th of Ramadan” but “coded” it as He did with His previous scriptures, to decide the ultimate Destiny of all the humans, as you can see:
44:3 Part: We have sent it down in a Blessed Night.
97:1 We have revealed it in the Night of Destiny.
Revealed: The Allah letters are 9 and 10, revealing the diff. of 1; the sum is 19, as well as writing 9-10 is the Code of the verse 74:30 of “Tisa-Ashar” and also brings out the revelation of the Seven Pairs, by dividing 910, we get 14 x
65. Praise be to God, these verses have revealed a lot.
Even the Allah letters in the chosen words reveal the profound revelation of 1.
Revealed: Night of Destiny: Allah letters are 5, Blessed Night: Allah letters
are 4, revealing the diff. of 1.
Revealed: Combined for both sets of words: The Allah letters are 9, and messenger’s letters are 10, revealing the diff. of 1 and revealing all of the other Codes, as shown earlier and above.
One of the reasons for the revelation of the Quran is stated in verses 36:5-6.
36:5 This revelation is from the Almighty, Most Merciful.
36:6 To warn people whose parents were never warned, and therefore, they are unaware.
Revealed: Both verses combined: The Aleefs are 7 and the Allah letters are
14, revealing the Code of the Seven Pairs.
Revealed: Both Verses: The Allah letters are 14, and messenger’s initials
are 19, revealing the Sacred Codes of 14 and 19.
Revealed: Each verse, messenger’s initials are 9 and 10, revealing the diff. of 1; the sum is 19.
As the verses tell us, the reason was to remove any excuse that the humans may fabricate to justify their idol worship of following their parent’s religion blindly.
3
36:6 To warn people, whose parents were never warned, and therefore, they are unaware.
7:173 Nor can you say, “It was our parents who practiced idolatry, and we simply followed in their footsteps. Will You punish us because of what others have innovated?”
Revealed: The messenger’s letters are 14 and 33, revealing the diff. of 19. As the messenger’s letters are 14 in verse 36:6, and reveal the diff. of 19 through 7:173; God has closed the door on any kind of excuse the people may present on the Day of Judgment. Through the verses and the proofs of Quran, the idolaters stand no chance of being forgiven for their disbelief or idol worship. Though some people believe with their mouths, their hearts do not accept God’s message in its entirety. He already knows in advance and therefore has predetermined that most of the people will not believe in Him and His Absolute Authority, by accepting His messengers. Hence, compare and reflect on the following verses:
36:7 It has been predetermined that most of them do not believe.
36:10 It is the same whether you (the messenger) warn them or not, they cannot believe.
Revealed: The messenger’s letters are 19 and 20, revealing the diff. of 1 – a profound fact presented through the verses which is already known to God, that the majority of the people will not heed the warnings of His messengers.
There are other reasons for the Quran to be revealed to the Arabs: The Children of Israel (Jews and Christians), had already received scriptures from God in their languages. They had already been sent messengers and prophets. But the Arabs had a legitimate complaint for not receiving any of this in their language. The revelation of the Quran answered their wishes, and closed the door to all excuses for not believing in God and for not carrying out His laws on Earth. They were living in the “Days of Ignorance” as God has called it. The words are appropriate, as life on earth without God’s laws and the knowledge to carry them out creates chaos, and is called as such. Tribal customs and traditions took precedents, and the laws designed by the tribal elders and leaders were “the gods of Arabs”. Idolatry was rampant by following human made religions and laws. As people of different communities lived in the region, there were some who worshiped statues also. This is also true in various communities of today. Not much has really changed. Let me recite a verse on the “Days of Ignorance” of the Arabs.
4
48:26 Part 1: While those who disbelieved were enraged, and their hearts were filled with the pride of the days of ignorance.
48:26 Part 2: GOD blessed His messenger and the believers with peaceful contentment, and directed them to uphold the “word of righteousness.” This is what they well deserved.
Revealed: The Allah letters in each part are 16 and 30, revealing the diff. of precisely 14 – the Seven Pairs.
Revealed: The messenger’s letters are 21 and 40, revealing the diff. of 19, revealing the Sacred Codes and the Truthful History of God.
Revealed: The Arabic letters are marked as 110, up to “This is what they well deserved.” It shows that the Arabs preferred disbelief, over believing in God and following His messenger. They preferred to follow their ancestor’s rituals and traditions rather than following God’s laws given in the Quran. The ones who believed were directed by GOD to uphold His laws.
48:26 Part 3: GOD is fully aware of all things.
Revealed: The GV of Allah letters is 128, revealing the messenger’s last name, Husain.
Revealed: The GV of Allah letters is 128, and of the messenger’s letters 238, revealing the diff. of 110 – expressing the reason the Quran was sent, was to alert and warn the people: “that there is no other god beside Him, 110” and He has Absolute Authority over all creations and commands.
Revealed: God’s mercy and blessings is evident upon the messenger and the believers by marking the entire verse with a very special 19 Aleefs, representative of His Absoluteness.
A lot of people do not know the meaning of “righteous or righteousness”. But God has a unique way of defining and explaining everything that He has given us. It is again Coded for the believers, who know the true meaning of these words. The ONE who has revealed these words is the ONE whose name is encoded in them as ALLAH.
48:26 Part: “Words of righteousness” (“Kalima Al Taqwah”)
Revealed: The Allah letters are precisely 4, as are in His name, and the GV is a Perfect 66, Glory be to my Lord. Upholding the entire Quran, without disregarding any of the verses, no matter if they go against your ego, desires, wishes, knowledge, or anything else, is called “upholding the words of righteousness”. The opposite of these words is mentioned in 9:74 as:
5
9:74 Part: “Word of Disbelief” (“Kalima Al Kufr”)
Revealed: The Allah letters are precisely 4, as are in His name, and the GV is a Perfect 66. The “Words of Righteousness” and the “words of disbelief” are all about ALLAH, as there is no other god beside Him. You can either believe in Him to fully submit, or disbelieve in Him and suffer the inevitable retribution.
The precision of God is unfathomable for a human being, as well as His Omnipotence and many other attributes. Looking at these two important words given above; both revealing His name – ALLAH, let me take the entire verses and show you His Omnipotence. These chapters and verses are far apart from each other.
Revealed: In 48:26, the Aleefs are 19 in the verse. In 9:74, the Aleefs are 38
in the verse, clearly revealing the diff. of 19 again. God be praised.
***Be sure to read both these verses by yourself, and you will notice that they both reflect on your belief in God by believing in His messenger; otherwise it becomes disbelief. This is why He has marked them with the most important and ultimate of miracles.
3:154 Part: They harbored thoughts about GOD that were not right – the same thoughts they had harbored during the “days of ignorance.”
3:154 Part: Thus, they said, “Is anything up to us?”
Revealed: The Allah letters for both parts are 19, Proof that there is only
ONE GOD.
Revealed: The messenger’s letters are 15 and 16, revealing the diff. of 1 – the Sign given to the messenger.
The concept and wrongful belief of most people that, God is really not in control, and they are in charge of their own lives and destinies, is also proven to be blasphemous. Today’s disbelievers are no better than the disbelievers of the past. God has answered them loud and clear by saying:
3:154 Part: SAY, “EVERYTHING IS UP TO ALLAH.”
Revealed: The entire verse being fairly long, is again marked by 38 Aleefs, a multiple of 19. The Allah letters in the entire verse are 99; when His name 66 is added to 99, the sum is 165, bringing out the value of the “Shahadah” and of His attribute of Absoluteness.

TRUTHFUL HISTORY: Primarily, the Quran was revealed to fulfill the wishes and the imploring of Arabs who wanted to know that if a “God” really existed, as they had heard from the followers of previous scriptures, then they should also receive a scripture from Him and a messenger, to prove that He existed. God took them up on their imploring and fulfilled it by sending down the Final Scripture. I will first recite verses reflecting the demand of the Arabs for a Scripture and afterwards, their reaction to the rejection of the scripture and the messenger, Muhammad. I will try not to present too many proofs as the sermon will get more detailed, than what it already is, but some important verses cannot be ignored for their proofs.
6:156 Now you can no longer say, “The scripture was sent down to two groups before us, and we were unaware of their teachings.”
6:157 Nor can you say, “If only a scripture could come down to us, we would be better guided than they.” A Proven Scripture has now come to you from your LORD, and a beacon, and a mercy. Now, who is more evil than one who rejects these PROOFS from GOD, and disregards them? We will commit those who disregard OUR PROOFS to the worst retribution for their heedlessness.
6:158 Are they waiting for the angels to come to them, or your LORD, or some physical manifestations of your LORD? The day your LORD physically manifest Himself, no soul will benefit from believing if it did not believe before that, and did not reap the benefits of belief by leading a righteous life. Say, “Keep on waiting; we too are waiting.”
6:159 Those who divide themselves into sects do not belong with you. (the messenger) Their judgment rests with ALLAH, then He will inform them of everything they had done.
I cannot go forward with more verses till I show you the precision of God’s proofs, otherwise I will be acting unjust to my Lord. The importance of this miracle can only be understood when you read verses 6:156-157 and note the language used by Allah. These verses are addressed to the Arabs are in a critical way, and point out the fact that these were lame excuses for not believing in God. Even though God has fulfilled their wish, it would not change the belief and the behavior of the majority. They would continue to worship 2 gods, meaning idolatry in one form or another. This is what the verses are going to reveal.
HYPROCRISY AND DISBELIEF EXPOSED THROUGH QURAN:
“Preconditions of Arabs to believe in God”
6:156 Now you can no longer say, “The scripture was sent down to two groups before us, and we were unaware of their teachings.”
7
6:157 Part: Nor can you say, “If only a scripture could come down to us, we would be better guided than they.”
Revealed: The Aleefs are 11 and 9, revealing the diff. of 2 – representing “idolatry”.
Revealed: The Allah letters are 19 and 17, revealing the diff. of 2 – representing “idolatry”.
NOTE that verse 6:156 is marked with 19 Allah letters, as the previous scriptures were also from Allah, and were similarly coded. But when it comes to being guided and taking the guidance for granted, “it is not marked with 19”. The reason being that the disbelievers’ utterances represented ego; by placing conditions on God to send another scripture before they believed.
The Quran is also a mathematically coded book, just like the ones before it, and it has been proven many times over. Hence, look at the perfect numbering of Allah letters up to specific words.
6:157 Part: Nor can you say, “If only a scripture could come down to us, we would be better guided than they.” A PROVEN SCRIPTURE HAS NOW COME TO YOU FROM YOUR LORD.
Revealed: The Allah letters are marked as precisely 19, Glory be to my LORD.
6:157 Part: Now, who is more evil than one who rejects these proofs from GOD, and disregards them? We will commit those who disregard our proofs to the worst retribution for their heedlessness.
Revealed: The Allah letters are marked as precisely 19, Glory be to my LORD.
6:157 Part: “A Proven Scripture has now come to you from your LORD , and a beacon, and a mercy.”
Revealed: The messenger’s letters are precisely 14 – revealing the Seven Pairs Revelation.
6:157 Part: Now, who is more evil than one who rejects these proofs from GOD, and disregards them?
8
Revealed: The messenger’s letters are precisely 14 – revealing the Seven Pairs Revelation. The PROOFS OF THE SCRIPTURE of 19 and 14 have thus been delivered to the people on earth.
6:158 Part: Are they waiting for the angels to come to them, or your Lord, or some physical manifestations of your Lord? The day your LORD physically manifest Himself:
Revealed: The Allah letters are designed to be precisely 19 up to a specific word, proving that the Lord is One (Wahid), and is represented by the number 19. Praise be to Him.
35:42 They swore by GOD solemnly that if a warner (messenger) went to them, they would be better guided than a certain congregation! However, now that the warner did come to them, this only plunged them deeper into aversion.
16:38 They swore solemnly by GOD: “GOD will not resurrect the dead.” Absolutely, such is His inviolable promise, but most people do not know.”
16:39 Part 1: He will then point out to everyone all the things they had disputed.
16:39 Part 2: And will let those who disbelieved know that they were LIARS.
Revealed: For Part 1: The Allah letters are 7, and the messenger’s letters are 14, revealing the Seven Pairs. Those who dispute these Proofs and Signs of GOD will be ashamed when He points out to them on the Day of Judgment; by rejecting these, they ended up being idol worshipers.
Revealed: Both Parts: The Allah letters are 7 and 9, revealing the diff. of 2
– representing idol worship.
Revealed: The messenger’s letters are 14 and 16, revealing the diff. of 2 – By rejecting these proofs and the messenger, they become guilty of idol worship. Praise be to the Omnipotent LORD.
EXCUSES OF THE ARABS AND OTHERS FOR REJECTING THE QURAN AFTER PROPHET MUHAMMAD RECITED GOD’S REVELATIONS
6:109 Part 1: They swore by GOD, solemnly, that if a miracle came to them, they would surely believe.
6:109 Part 2: Say, “Miracles come only from GOD.” For all you know, if a miracle did come to them, they would continue to disbelieve.
9
Revealed: The Allah letters are 17 and 19, revealing the diff. of 2 – Those who demand Miracles from God do not end up believing and remain entrapped in “idol worship”.
Revealed: The messenger’s letters are 23 and 21, revealing the diff. of 2 – Those who do not believe in God’s messenger, even after seeing the Signs and Proofs have committed the worst kind of idol worship.
Revealed: The entire verse is mounted by 19 Aleefs – a profound proof of Absoluteness of God. Belief should come from the hearts and no amount of miracles can change the disbelievers’ minds.
6:109 Part: SAY, “MIRACLES COME ONLY FROM GOD.”
Revealed: The messenger’s letters are 9, and Allah letters are 10, revealing the diff. of 1, and sum is 19. This Miracle and the Revelation has been consistently proven to be from God, who controls all the Miracles of Quran.
(Another Excuse) 6:8 They also said, “If only an angel could come down with him!” Had we sent an angel, the whole matter would have been terminated, and they would no longer be respited.
GOD’S ANSWER: 6:7 Even if we sent down to them a physical book written on paper, and they touched it with their hands, those who disbelieved would have said, “This is no more than clever magic.”
Revealed: The Aleefs are 10 and 11, revealing the diff. of 1 – revealing God’s Absoluteness.
Revealed: The Allah letters are 23 and 22, revealing the diff. of 1, revealing that the Quran is a Divine Book.
17:90 They said, “We will not believe you unless you cause a spring to gush out of the ground.
17:91 “Or unless you own a garden of date palms and grapes, with rivers running through it.”
17:92 “Or unless you cause masses from the sky, as you claimed, to fall on us. Or unless you bring GOD and the angels before our eyes.”
17:93 “Or unless you own a luxurious mansion, or unless you climb into the sky. Even if you do climb, we will not believe unless you bring a book that we can read.” Say, “Glory be to my Lord. Am I any more than a human messenger?”
NOTE that all the criticism and demands of the disbelievers is already covered in the Quran, whether it be about the gushing of the spring from the ground, or gardens of
10
fruits, or masses falling from the sky, and other issues raised by them. These were excuses so as not to hear, read and follow the Book, as the message had fallen on deaf ears.
Note the Miracle: Chapter 17 + verses 90 + 91 + 92 + 93 = 383, being GV of
AL-QURAN.
GOD TELLS US THE REASON FOR THEIR REJECTION OF QURAN
17:94 What prevented the people from believing when the guidance came to them, is their saying, “Did GOD send a human being as a messenger?”
Revealed: The Allah letters are 27, messenger’s letters are 28, revealing the diff. of 1 – proving that guidance comes from God through human messengers only.
GOD’S ANSWER FOR APPOINTING HUMAN MESSENGERS: 17:95 Say, “If the
earth were inhabited by angels, we would have sent down to them from the sky an angel messenger.”
Compare 17:94 & 95: The Aleefs in each verse are 17 and 8, clearly the Pattern of 178, which is the messenger’s name, Makbool. Glory be to my Lord. Revealed: The Allah letters are 27 and 20, revealing the diff. of 7.
Revealed: The messenger’s letters are 28 and 35, revealing the diff. of 7. Praise be to Allah, for designing these immense miracles in the composition of the verses of the Quran, which reveal His precision and the Signs of Seven Pairs and the name of the messenger, Makbool. Also note that the messenger’s letters 28 and 35 are multiples of 14 and 7.
17:96 Say, “GOD suffices as a witness between me and you. He is fully Cognizant of His worshipers, Seer.”
Miracle: This verse follows the above important verses of guidance through human messengers and is therefore marked with precisely 14 Allah letters, thus highlighting the message sent to this generation.
Some believers have asked me to explain the importance of the 27th night of Ramadan and if they should stay up all night to worship God. Here is the answer:
There is no command in the Quran to stay up on the 27th night of Ramadan. Nor does any verse tell us that your worship of God or meditation has a higher value, or
11
12
you get extra credits on this night. Note, that wherever there is a command from God, it is always very clear, specific and explained. You can choose to stay up any night to meditate and glorify God. The Quran tells us that “you shall glorify Him day and night”. This means that you should do this each day of your life, and not just on the specific night of the 27th of Ramadan. Humans like to innovate and fabricate lies, and attribute to God. They like to symbolize events, and to have short-cuts, to make their worship practices easy. God has already given us a religion that is easy to follow and practice, if you stay away from all kinds of innovations and idol worship. Some also have dared to reduce the 5 Salats to 3 for the same reason. Others have changed the system of Zakat, by giving it once a year in Ramadan, instead of on a regular basis. Yet, others have made fasting mandatory for all the people, without regard to the ill and the traveling, or those who have difficulty fasting. These are distortions against God’s laws.
This sermon will be carried over for next week as Part 2. Be sure to read it.
Peace be upon the messengers.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Universe.
