"Code" in the original Arabic text of the Qu'ran (Koran)

[Pakaran]

Hi, I found a site here which claims that mathematical patterns built into the Qu'ran prove it to have been the word of God.

My interpretation is that someone with *way* too much free time went well out of his way to determine numbers in some ways connected with the Qu'ran, and then listed those cases where the number seemed vaguely relevant to 19. However, among others, Wikipedia's Qu'ran article links to this page.

Any comments?

Numerology meets the bible code meets the Qu'ran. Any volenteers to find these patterns in Moby Dick?

There's a long and humorous discussion of the number 19 in the Koran on another forum in THIS THREAD.

I don't know about the Qu'uran but the issue with the bible code is that it is obvious and not hidden at all, hebrew letters are also numbers, so when they say that methuselah lived to be 999 years old there is a word that coresponds to the numbers, it is code but it isn't hidden at all. So 18 is life because chai, in the hebrew adds to 18.

I don't know about arabic, but ifthere is a code it is similar.
