Some time ago, I discovered that the numerical value of "ghuruwr" is 1406, which is 74 * 19. 1406 is also a number we have seen recently from the Khalifites as the lapse of years between the revelation of the Qur'an and the alleged discovery of the numerical code by Khalifa. However, this code is a deception, as indicated by value of ghuruwr, which also points, through Khalifite logic, to the mention of the number 19 in sura 74. Note that, in verse 34 of this sura, among other functions of the setting of the number of guardians of the fire as 19, it is a trial for unbelievers *and* those in whose hearts is a disease. These tried ones will say "What does Allah intend by this sign?" This view is confirmed by 3:7, where there is a similar description of those who seek the hidden meanings of the Qur'an (Sura 74 is termed by the Khalifites "The Hidden Secret"). Allah's book is clear to those who approach it with caution and respect. Until they die, He maintains a path of return for those who follow deviant sects; it is through simple honesty and careful self-examination that they can find it. I ask him to guide the sincere believers and trust in his promise. AbdulraHman Lomax marjan@gate.ioa.com P.O. Box 25133 Asheville, NC 28813
