# Code 19

Today, we live in the computer age, but more specifically, in the age of cryptography, and God provided us with a cryptographic code based on the prime number 19. This code provides assurances that the Quran we have today is the unaltered message that was originally sent down 1400 years ago and that the original sender of this message was God Himself.&#x20;

In summary, the Quran contains 114 suras, of which 29 of these suras are prefixed with initials. In 1974, precisely 1406 lunar years after the revelation of the Quran, it was discovered that these initials occur in their respective suras in multiples of 19. Sometimes independently and sometimes in collective sets, creating an interlocking mechanism between the initials and their suras. Below is a summary of the 29 initialed suras and the frequency of occurrences.&#x20;
