Chapter 8 Appendix: About the Text Version 1.1

I first published my book in September 2019 based on the text version 1.0.2 that I downloaded from tanzil.net. The text had been there for about 13 years and is still considered by them error free by them. However, after around 1.5 years later of my the publication of my book, they somehow decided make a tiny change in the text on February 12, 2021, which seems optional and based on their subjective choice from their perspective. In the appendix chapter, I will explain all the entailing issues of their change and my struggle to find the truth and some codes with the updated text. So, I leave it to expert scholars in the very topic to decide what is the absolute truth by sharing this information too. On the other hand, after my long research, my conclusion is the correct text version is the earlier one, version 1.0.2, and therefore kept my associated codes and the overall system based on that text. However, I suggest expert scholar to elaborate the issue and decide what is correct based on the classic Arabic grammar rules. So, if they are 100% sure the new text version 1.1. is the correct one, with respect to the changed writing form of the word “bada-ma” in the three verses, then they chose and use the version 1.1 as the correct. text version. Then, they should also ignore all my presented codes that includes the word information in those three verses. But, if they are not 100% sure, then I suggest using the text version 1.0.2 as the system I discovered suggest an extraordinary 19 based design over that text I used. Also, my own long research from the classical Arabic grammar point of view made me concluded that the text version I used was the correct one and the word badama was written as a single word as in the text version 1.0.2 but not as two words as in the text version 1.1. So, I just made an academic study, shared my discoveries and my conclusion. However, God knows best and I never claim that I know the absolute truth. So, I advice assessing my book as an academic work and feel free to critique with further academical studies in order to make sure the absolute truth is established in the long run. After this summary I will continue with more details about the issue.

As I mentioned, after the publication of my book, the text version 1.1 has been updated on February 12, 2021 by Tanzil.net and the details of that subjective update is explained here, http://tanzil.net/updates/. Basically, they made a single and simple change by separating the single written word badama as written two words as bada ma which were in verses 2:181, 8:6 and 13:37. It does not change the meaning at all but as far as I understand from their explanation, it is just a subjective choice of them. This change just affects the number of words in those verses but not the rest.

8.1 The update of the text after the publication of my book!

Since 2019, I did not publish my book as printed copy but just kept online to make sure I can get critics and some feedback and also review myself before final printed publication. This way, if there is any mistake found, I could quickly correct and update my book. In fact, I made several updates and enhanced the book with some corrections, improvements and with some of my new findings until the beginning of 2021. Since 2019, I was trying to spread my important findings over my Twitter and Youtube accounts assuming that I can get more quality feedback as it is more spread. One thing I realized during the two years is that, Muslims were not much interested in the 19 based design claims in the text of Quran and mostly ignore the presented findings. When I shared my book in Islam Stack Exchange questions as replies or even ask others opinions about my work as an independent question, all were closed by the editors, where I realized the clear negative look at this topic from Muslims with some influence. This negative prejudice was probably caused by the earlier attempt where the author, Rashad Khalifa, shamelessly removed the two verses from Quran to match the text to his own made up system claim. Scientifically, manipulation of the data is a forgery but his followers have some shameless and unscientific way of defending their forgery act anyways and behave like a cult. On the other hand, the system I initially discovered and published in 2019 does not have any manipulation even to the single letter. As a scientist, I know it would be a clear forgery and therefore declared many times that even if there are millions of codes existed if I were to change a single letter, I do not make such a change, as otherwise it would not be a scientific approach. I just look at the data as is and test to see if there is a rule based system over it, which might show that the text is intact and unchanged. Therefore, any system search can only be investigated over the available texts of Quran without making any change to them unless there is a clear classical Arabic grammar error detected in the text.

At the time of my download of the text of Quran from tanzil.net/download, the latest version of the text was Version 1.0.2. It was the text, which was released in February 4, 2008 and has not been updated till February 12, 2021 with the latest version, which is Version 1.1 (v1.1). As I was subscribed to the email group of the Tanzil server, I got this notification email sent to the email group on February 12, 2021:

“A new release of Tanzil quran text (version 1.1) is ready to download from http://tanzil.net/download/. You can see changes log here (tanzil.net/updates). Fortunately, no typo has been reported in the Tanzil quran text since its latest release in 2008, and the updates in this new version are rather technical. Therefore, if you are using the older version of the text (i.e., v1.0.2), it is still safe to use that version.”

As informed in the email from Tanzil, for the last 13 years from the last release of the text, no typo has been reported. This means, no one, who uses the text of this very popular server reported any error for about 13 years. This point further assured in the last sentence of the email by saying “if you are using the older version of the text (i.e., v1.0.2), it is still safe to use that version”. It is clear that there is no error in the text v1.0.2, which I had used for my analysis. On the other hand, they decided to make a few changes as, technically, they preferred that way as better as I discuss below in more detail.

On February 12, 2021, Tanzil.net released an update after around 13 years from their last release. There was a single change in the text at the word level data. They changed the writing of the single word ba’da-ma (بعدما) as two separate words in this new release, v1.1, as ba’da ma (بعد ما). It has been previously written as a single word in the text v1.0.2, as (بعدما). This word appears in only three verses, which are verses 2:181, 8:6 and 13:37. The other three minor updates are about replacing the total three letters with their alternatives from within three other words, to increase compatibility with the Uthmani text. However, since the total letter sum does not change in my codes, this update does not change the letters counts of the previous text and thus not important as it does not mainly affect the current evidences of this book except a few codes with Abjad numbers and thus not important. All the details of the update from text Version 1.0.2 to the Version 1.1. can be seen from their site at http://tanzil.net/updates/.

As a consequence of this tiny and somewhat arbitrary update on the single word (ba’da-ma in the text Version 1.0.2, now written as ba’da ma in text Version 1.1), the codes, based on the text Version 1.0.2, which include the word count information from the following three verses 2:181, 8:6, and 13:37 do not hold for the text Version 1.1. Although the meaning or reading of the word ba’da-ma does not change at all with this update, it affects the overall word counts from the related verses since I count the words with respect to empty space among them. Upon the update notification from tanzil.net via email, I was able to reply them and ask the notifier person about the reason of this change on the word ba’da-ma. He replied as I quote his exact answer below:

“There are 30 other occurrences of”بعد ما” in the Quran text, all of which have been written separately in Tanzil text since the first version. As both writing styles are correct and are used interchangeably in Arabic, we have decided to replace these three cases in the new version to keep the text consistent. So, it is a matter of consistency, not correctness. Both versions are still correct. ”

There is a link he attached to the word “occurrences”, which brings all the 30 occurrences of “min bade ma” from Tanzil server, such as the one in Verse 2:75, as this: “من بعد ما”. However, when considering the dots (harakas) it is read as “min bade ma” as more clearly seen in the form written with the dots as this “مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا”.

As someone who does not know Arabic but just count the words, the two words did not seem to be the exact same words to me. In all the 30 occurrences of “min bade ma”, there is “min” comes before “bade ma” and these 30 occurrences seem to be a standard phrase as “min bade ma” and written always as separate. However, “ba’da-ma” or “bada ma” appears in slightly different form than those 30 occurrences despite the fact that they are based on the same words.

Although he said “both writings of the word are correct”, the 30 separate writings of slightly different version (“min bade ma”) of the word in contrast to the three writings as single word (“ba’da-ma”) did not seem to me a random choice of writing. There should have been a reason in the first place for them to be written that way for the last 13 years, which was the pattern of earlier time from the tradition. I then further asked to the person the reason why “ba’da-ma” was written as a single word for the last 13 years and not changed since then in the previous version (v1.0.2). His answer was that “ba’da-ma” was written as such in the earlier manuscripts and thus the pattern followed in the Tanzil texts.

Although their current reason of the change, “being consistent”, sounds reasonable, I was not satisfied with the explanation of the change. In the end, the change that is made is in the text of the Quran, one must make sure that the change that is preferred is coherent with the classic Arabic grammar. Because, in their explanation of the details of the text, they had already stated that they prepared this text with great care by the reviews of experts and also there was no error reported since 2008. In their web site (http://tanzil.net/docs/tanzil_project) and their FAQ page, they answer some very relevant questions. Some of their relevant answers I quote below:

“Tanzil is a Quranic project launched in early 2007 to produce a highly verified Unicode Quran text to be used in Quranic websites and applications. Our mission in the Tanzil project is to produce a standard Unicode Quran text and serve as a reliable source for this standard text on the web.”

“Our mission in the Tanzil project is to produce a standard Unicode Quran text and serve as a reliable source for this standard text on the web.”

They also state that they have checked the text against a set of grammatical and recitation rules.

“Rule-Based Verification: In this step, a program was developed to verify the core Quran text against a set of grammatical and recitation rules…”

“We extensively used the help of a group of experts including Quran specialists and Hafizes in order to assure the correctness and preciseness of the obtained Quran text. Our Quran text is now used in major Quranic websites and projects, with several millions active users per month. Despite this high volume of users, we have received no typo report since the release of the first version of the text in 2008. The accuracy of the text has been also reconfirmed by several projects that are actively using Tanzil Quran text.”

” ‘How accurate is Tanzil Quran text?’ Tanzil Quran text is carefully derived from Medina Mushaf, which is currently the most authentic copy of the holy Quran (narration of Hafs).”

So, then the question is, if the text is already correct and has been used for the last 13 years and no error reported, then why bother to change the writing of a single word? This update was released around 17 months after the first online publication of my book. It may seem a simple change but it causes the collapse of most of the codes in my book if I use the updated text. Interestingly, the three verses that include the changed word ba’da-ma coincidentally have the meaning centered around changing after the truth.

Quran, 2.181: “Then, whoever changes it after he has heard it, its sin will only be on those who change it. Surely, Allah is All-hearing, All-knowing.”

Quran, 8.6: “they were disputing with you about the truth after it became clear, as if they were being driven to death being seen by them.” (Translations from: quran.com, Mufti Taqi Usmani)

Quran, 13.37: “And so We have revealed it as an authority in Arabic. And if you were to follow their desires after ˹all˺ the knowledge that has come to you, there would be none to protect or shield you from Allah.”

8.1.1 My research and the conclusion on the word ba’da-ma

My research on this very specific question started from around February 2021 and mainly finalized by the end of October 2021, though it still continued lightly time to time till now as there was new ChatGPT technology introduced in 2022. It took a long time and is worth explaining the details of my tiring research. However, I will first write the conclusion I reached and the rationale of my conclusion to make sure the reader reads the most important part of this section before reading through all those research details. My research conclusion about the word ba’da-ma is that according to the classical Arabic grammar, ba’da-ma is one word. Therefore, it is counted as one word in the three verses that include it, which are 2:181, 8:6 and 13:37. Therefore, I decided to keep using the initial Quran text version I had been used, which is the text Version 1.0.2. The overall replies I could receive from Arabic language experts during my research were mixed and there were not a common single answer to this specific question. However, all of the replies were their opinions based ow their knowledge at that time. None of them really cited a specific classical Arabic grammar book that supported their decision for this specific question. Since the answers were mixed and not as detailed as I expected to see in an academic publication, I was not fully satisfied with my findings. I further researched myself directly instead of asking experts and in the end I think I found the answer in the very old book Al-Kitab (The Book). It is, arguably, one of the few most respected pioneer classical Arabic grammarian, famously known as, Sibawayh. He was known to be born in 760 and died in 796. His full name was Abu Bishr Amr ibn Uthman ibn Qanbar al-Basri and he was the leading grammarian of Basra and author of the earliest book on Arabic grammar and linguistics. This quote from Wikipedia explains well the importance of his book:

“Al-Kitāb or Kitāb Sībawayh (‘Book of Sibawayh’), is the foundational grammar of the Arabic language, and perhaps the first Arabic prose text. Al-Nadim describes the voluminous work, reputedly the collaboration of forty-two grammarians, as”unequaled before his time and unrivaled afterwards”. Sibawayh was the first to produce a comprehensive encyclopedic Arabic grammar, in which he sets down the principles rules of grammar, the grammatical categories with countless examples taken from Arabic sayings, verse and poetry, as transmitted by Al-Khalil ibn Ahmad al-Farahidi, his master and the famous author of the first Arabic dictionary, “Kitab al-’Ayn”, and of many philological works on lexicography, diacritics, poetic meter (ʻarūḍ), cryptology, etc” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sibawayh).

Another quote to know about him is this: “Sibawayh, who, more than any other individual, was the foundational grammarian of Arabic.” (https://www.encyclopedia.com/history/news-wires-white-papers-and-books/sibawayh).

I will provide a last quote from a web site (sifatusafwa.com) that shows how Al-Kitab is marketed while being sold: “THE KITAB OF SIBAWAYH - THE ULTIMATE REFERENCE: Al-Kitab, the mother-book of Arabic grammar, often cited as the first work on Arabic grammar and its rules, when it was previously only oral tradition”.

There are still recent and ongoing academical studies around Al-Kitab, which suggest that it is fair to consider it as an authoritative resource for my research question, though that does not mean it must be always correct. The reasons I accepted the answer in Al-Kitab from Sibawayh are as follows: First of all he has a sufficiently descriptive answer in his book, Al-Kitab, that clearly describes the exact word ba’da-ma is one word in the form of composite pattern. He is one of the closest classical Arabic grammarian to the time of Quran’s revelation. His book considered as the first written book in classical Arabic grammarian and already has been accepted as reference and still being actively referenced by academics. The last reason I accepted his answer as the correct answer is because the opinions of current expert academics were mixed and they seem to be not fully sure in their answer considering my perception from the wordings in their answers. Considering all the mixed answers, it appeared as the most rationale approach is to accept the answer of Sibawayh who I perceived as one of the top authority among all the known classic Arabic grammarians throughout the history and up until today. Although, I had my conclusion based on the information from the Al-Kitab and some of the answers I received from Arabic language experts in around 2021, I later also used the new technology ChatGPT, which was introduced in late 2022, and asked her the same question and got the answer that ba’da-ma is one word based on her knowledge, which further confirmed my cocnlusion. I will also share her answers below in detail.

After, explaining my conclusion on the word ba’da-ma and the reasons of my conclusions, let me summarize the explanation about the word ba’da-ma in Al-Kitab of Sibawayh. Since I do not know Arabic, I performed my search in English and found an academic publication that already summarized the information about ba’da-ma in Al-Kitab (Eddakrouri 2016). I present almost the exact quote for it from the page 19 of the thesis as below. What a coincidence! Anyways let’s continue the information from the thesis on page 19:

“Sibawayhi (Qanbar, V. 2, 1966-1977, p.139) explained that when بعدَ /ba’da/ and قبل /qabla/ are followed by ما /mā/, they become one word in the shape of compound pattern. In this case, ما /mā/ stops the two adverbial nouns from اضافة/ ’iḍāfa/ (Annexation) and, instead, they are directly followed by a clause beginning with a verb, usually past tense. For example, ba’da-mā shāhadahu ’aḥadu lmārrati/ (after one of the passers-by saw him) (Ryding, 2005, p.414).”

We read the explanation of Sibawayh in the first sentence. However, as we see in the second sentence of short quote, there is also one more supporting information from a contemporary time reference Arabic grammar book of Ryding (Ryding 2005), where ba’da-ma is also considered as one word. We might consider this as a further supporting information from a current time classical Arabic grammar expert.

There is also one interesting bit of information about this quote that I want to share here. This is the piece of information in a single short paragraph, which I was satisfied and finally felt confident that I found the correct answer after a long tiring research process. It was also the first and the only information I could find an exact answer about the word ba’da-ma. The significance of this information for me was such that it was a turning point for me as I had already started to update my book by changing the main text of Quran as the last updated text, version 1.1, but was still researching as I was not satisfied. As I was not sure about the correct form of ba’da-ma considering the mixed answers I had received upon my research, I had started to remove all the related important codings from the main body of my book. Since I was still not sure about the correct form of ba’da-ma, I was just going to provide the relevant codes of the previous text as appendix to this book and explain the unclear situation and leave the decision to experts who might research on it in the future. In a sense, I was going to change this book in a more academic format with inconclusive parts to promote and facilitate potential future scholarly studies on the issue and the relevant codes. However, around 6 months after starting my research, as I was not satisfied with the mixed answers, I decided to do some more research over the internet with different keywords myself rather than contacting to experts to ask their opinions. I found right away the information that I quoted above in the master thesis (Eddakrouri 2016) at page 19. So, basically the most critical information for the 19 based system of my book appeared to be in the page 19 of the thesis that has 174 pages in total. At the time of finding out this phenomenon, this thesis was the first and the only academic level resource I could have found during all my long research. It was very interesting for me and I found it worth sharing here. I want you to think about the probability of me finding my final answer in one English resource and the page of that information to be exactly 19.

8.1.2 Summary of my research process about the word ba’da-ma:

After summarizing the conclusion of my research, I now start explaining the details of my relatively long research process about the word ba’da-ma. From the first publication date of my book 2019 to my further discoveries till 2020, I had performed all my analysis over the Simple Clean text Version 1.0.2 and discovered truly amazing codes, which together suggest a miraculous 19 based system with systematic rules over the text of Quran that I studied. The codes of the main system include all the chapter, verse and word information together and suggest a clear system where we observe the key coding patterns of coding rules from the first chapter Al-Fatiha. I allocated a dedicated chapter, Chapter 4.1.2, for this very clearly rule based system that consists of miraculous codes. Assuming that there is no error in the text I used, (“Simple Clean” Version 1.0.2), the system presented in Chapter 4.1.2 suggests that the text has miraculous 19 based design over it, which therefore suggest it is intact and unchanged. This intactness suggesting evidence is up to the level of the number of words used in each verse and over all the current chapters and verses structure. Upon this, there are also some other very interesting codings (Chapter 4.2.2.1, Chapter 4.2.2.1.3, Chapter 4.2.3.1), which includes letters information too upon chapter, verse and words information. Basically, using chapter, verse and words and letters numbers, we can get representation numbers of each verse. We then replace them with each corresponding verse and, in a sense, rewrite the text by its natural numbers. These codes together stands as strong evidences that suggest intactness up to the level of the order of words and number of letters in each verse over all the current chapters and verses structure. Upon these codes, there are also many interesting codings that I presented over various chapters in this book. However, those stands out as very clear codings that suggest a system up to the letters over the full text of Quran (“Simple Clean” text Version 1.0.2) with its current structure. I can never claim that it is absolutely a divine design but I can easily defend against any critique that there is clear rule based 19 coding system over that particular text and my conclusion based on my observations and measurements is that it suggests a divine design. However, with the new text update, most of these important codes along with the codes of the main system collapses if the correct form of the single word ba’da-ma is written separate as it was changed in the latest version v1.1 of the text.

I would be quite surprised to observe all the clear 19 based system on the text I used (v1.0.2) if the absolute true form of the word ba’da-ma was in fact separate as in the updated text version v1.1. There are only a few interesting new unique codes in v1.1 I found and presented in the next subchapters, but I could not see a clear 19 based system as I saw in the text version 1.0.2. I decided to make a research to find an answer that satisfies my mind and heart whether the true form of the word ba’da-ma is single word as ba’dama or two words as ba’da ma with respect to classical Arabic grammar rules. As I did not know Arabic, it was quite a difficult task for me. Therefore I decided to consult expert academics on the issue and also look at the earliest Quran manuscripts.

Regarding the old Quran manuscripts, it turned out that they cannot help finding the true form of the word as there is the disconnected letter d before the word ma, which always causes a same size empty space between the preceding word of the ma independent from the form of the word whether it is single word or two words. This is a fact observed in the early handwriting manuscripts before the typewriters that allowed printing the text. An academic, Dr.van Putten, who has expertise in early manuscripts informed me about this fact when I asked about the status of the word ba’da-ma in early manuscripts to another expert in Twitter (now called X). I present his exact answer in the following image to precisely cite this information:

I did not know this fact and had already looked at many of the old manuscripts that I could find from the corpuscoranicum.de server to see the word ba’da-ma in the three verses that include it. They all appeared with a notable space between the words ba’da and ma but during this research some other single words also took my attention with similar size of empty space after the disconnected Arabic letters like d. Since I was not neither expert in Arabic grammar nor in old manuscripts I could not have any conclusion by that observation. Dr.van Putten’s explanations confirmed my observation. So, in conclusion of my research about the old manuscripts, it turned out that the early manuscripts do not help much in finding the true form of the word ba’da-ma with respect to classic Arabic grammar. After finding out this fact, the only option appears to be to search an answer from the resources or experts about classic Arabic grammar.

I searched experts from all over the world via internet and tried to reach all the academics with expertise in Arabic language that I could find. A small portion of them kindly returned to my question with an answer about whether the word ba’da-ma is one word or two words in the three verses with respect to classic Arabic grammar. Unfortunately, the replies were mixed, which left me with an unsatisfactory feeling as neither my mind nor my heart was fully convinced that I found the truth from the replies I received. It is worth summarizing the replies I received as this process lasted for a significant time from about February 2021 till October 2021.

Experts opinions summary:

In this summary of experts’ opinions, I will mention only the names of the experts who gave permission to share their names along with their replies. Also, I will not share the full answers but try to summarize the main points of all the answers. The other point that I should mention is that I have two groups of replies. The first group replied upon my first question format in around March 2021, where I had asked the question as “whether ba’da-ma is written as a single word or two separate words in those three verses of Quran?”. Because my assumption at that time was that the writing form could clarify whether the word is a single word or two words. However, as I mentioned before, the handwritten early manuscripts cannot help answer this question. Since my wording of the question includes writing, this may cause a little bias towards writing style or confusion. My goal was to learn whether ba’da-ma is single word or two words regarding classic Arabic grammar. Along with my question, as an example, I also shared a contemporary Arabic poem where the poet used min bade ma as separate words in the first verse but ba’dama as joint single word in the second verse. Because I had assumed that the poet should have good level of Arabic grammar and he might have a grammatical reason to use both versions of the word as separate and joint in the two consecutive verses.

I first received an answer from an Associate Professor from an Arabic Language Department in Türkiye. She said “It is usually written separately, but sometimes it can be written adjacent as in jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic) poems etc.”. She also asked another faculty member, who has some work on the word ma, in her faculty and he provided more detailed answer. He suggested to avoid certain judgments about ma as there are 12 types of it and also additional usage of them in jahiliyyah poems. His particular opinion for the ba’da-ma in the three verses was as it is two separate words. These two experts are non-native speakers of Arabic.

In another answer, a professor of Pre-Islamic Literature from Jordan replied with an answer explaining the general situation and his own opinion. My summary of his answer is as follows: “We (Muslims) follow and forever will be following the writing of the Holy Quran of the seven copies that was written down in the time of Caliphate Othman. The writing of the Noble Quran is exclusive for it as the shape of it is considered as a holy thing and untouchable. However, the contemporary model of writing of Arabic is not as in the Quran.”. After explaining the general perspective about the writings of Quran and current Arabic, he shared his own opinion about my specific question as follows: “… some are writing without space and others with separate, and all are respected. But, for me, I always write it and many similar words as one word, and the confusion comes from a great thing in Arabic writing which is the connecting and disconnecting letters, so it confuses a lot of Arabs and beginners. According to (بعدما) and (من بعدما) I disagree with the sending writing and I see that (بعدما) is one word in any text without looking at the word before or after.”. By saying “the sending”, he refers to the poem I had shared in my email, where ba’da-ma and min bade ma were used in two consecutive verses of the poem by the poet, as one word and two words, respectively. So, basically this answer, from a professor of Pre-Islamic Literature from Jordan, says, no matter what ba’da-ma or min bade-ma always one word. This was very interesting answer as I did not see before a single usage of min bade ma as in a composed form like min bade-ma. This part of the answer was only provided by this expert.

Another answer I received was from Dr. Mu’men Badarin, Assistant Professor in Arabic Grammar at Arabic Department from Palestine. His answers was quite short, which I summarize as follows as far as I understand: Dr. Badarin considers “ba’da-ma written as a single word in Quran traditionally although, in general, this word should be separated (بعد ما) unless, if”Ma” was a disrupter (kaffa; كافة) “. As a support to his opinion, he said”according to the holy Quran, the writing is unique and doesn’t align with the standard way of writing (Othmani Drawing)“. He also shared 4 different books as a reference without any specific quote or page mentioning but since I did not know Arabic, I could not read them.

I also received a more detailed answer from Dr. Ahmed Ali, Professor of Translation at the Dept. of Arabic and Translation Studies from UAE. He also spent some time to research the issue and kindly replied my multiple emails in detail. His first answer to my first email was as follows:

“When ba3d is used as an adverb, the /d/ would have a fathah and then it is written as one word بعدَما . If ba3d is preceded by the preposition /min/, it is then used as a noun, and it is then written as two separate words بعدِ then ما. Together with /min/, these would be 3 separate words: من بعدِ ما.” He also provided a more detailed answer regarding the poem example, which had both usage of the word ba’da-ma in two consecutive verses, as follows: “The example you have quoted cannot be accepted in any way as a proof of anything as a general principle. This is modern poetry and linguistically means nothing and cannot be used to substantiate one view or another. However, the author seems to follow the Qur’anic convention of writing, that is, when بعدَما is adverbial, it is one word; and when من بعدِ ما has ba3d as a noun preceded by min, it is written as separate words. Is this based upon some grammatical rules, I cannot tell on the top of my head. However, this merits investigation. Since this is what you are doing, then you may check what the grammarians say about this: the use of ba3d adjectivally or as a noun as well as the semantic implications. It will be worth your while as well to check the various uses and functions of /ma/ as this could render some clues as to why /ba3dma/ is sometimes written as 1 or 2 words”.

Dr. Ali also suggested to consult to highly-qualified reciters. I tried and could find one, at least to my impression, who kindly answered that ba’da-ma is two words. I shared his detailed answer, which was referring to different sound layers, with Dr. Ali and asked his opinion on it but he said that it is just ijtihad (independent reasoning) which lacks solid evidence. Months later, I had the opportunity to ask two other reciters (Hafiz), one said two words and the other (from Egypt) said one word. Dr. Ali was quite responsive to my further follow up questions and helpful as he himself made some research by querying to some other scholars about the issue. Dr. Ali shared an answer he could receive upon his queries. The answer was from a Professor of Qur’an recitation specialized in Waqf and Ibtida as follows: “He said that ba3da-ma is two words and stated:”This issue has nothing to do with reception. This is what we have learnt.” He meant that linguistically ba3da is a word and ma is another word according to the Arabic language. He did not mean that he received like this from his teacher. Unfortunately, when I queried this issue further with him he only repeated what he had said, that is, “This issue has nothing to do with reception.” Thus, my conclusion is that he is using ijtihad. This is just his own opinion.”.

Dr. Ali further added this “Now, all this really is not an issue at all when it comes to reciting the Qur’an since no one pauses at ba3dama nor does none need to pause at ba3da. This explains why the many people asked about this really do not know. They had never thought of this particular example as a problematic issue. However, it becomes an issue when it comes to counting the words.”.

This gave me the impression that reciters may not be right source to find out the specific issue about the status of ba’da-ma. In the same and final email to answer my questions, he shared his final opinion as follows:

“I can tell you now with 100% certainty of mine that /ba3da ma/ in those 3 Ayahs are two words. These two words are clearly written as two in all the Qur’an copies I have checked. The Qur’anic script is respected when it comes to recitation and I am not in any way confused in determining that /ba3da ma/ in the 3 Ayahs in question are two words written separately. In all the copies I checked this is the case. So, I hope this concludes this issue.”.

So, he based his conclusion regarding to the Qur’an copies he has checked. Since I could not see a grammatical reference to early classical Arabic book, I was not fully convinced. However, he had spent significant time to research on the issue and I was leaned upon his opinions considering his sincere efforts on the topic, I had then started to update my book as taking the last text (v1.1) as the main text of my book and moving the codes with previous text (v1.0.2) to appendix of my book. I was going to leave the issue open to future research by other scholars. Basically, I was going to transform my book in more of an academic form by pointing out the issue and leave the solution for future research by others. This process was the result of the first part of my research. But, then I had to give a break to the revision of my book as I was fully occupied by family issues and sickness for several months.

The second part of my research was not planned but occurred spontaneously. Right after my sickness healed, as I was not satisfied with the mixed and personal opinion based answers, I decided to research the issue one more time instead of continuing the revision I had already started and progressed to the half of it with the text version v1.1. At my first attempt this time, I found the academic resource, a master thesis of (Eddakrouri 2016), where I read the explanation of Sibawayh from the Al-Kitab as if one of earliest classical Arabic grammarian authorities, Sibawayh, directly answers my very specific question! I was very happy as I first time found an answer from a classic Arabic grammar book, which turned out to be the book of one of the few most respected early classical Arabic grammarians, and in fact the earliest and most popular one. I wanted to ask about this turning point information about ba’da-ma to other experts to make sure my conclusion based on this information is not wrong. Then, I contacted to some other experts about the matter by sharing the information in Al-Kitab from Sibawayh and the issue around the three verses in Quran and asked their opinions whether they agree with that or not. I was able to receive a few replies, in short, most agreed with the answer I concluded from the quote of Sibawayh. I will also share those replies below.

I received a very short answer from quite a high profile scholar, who was a professor and chairman, of Arabic and Islamic Studies in Lebanon. He has PhD in Arabic Studies from Yale University. Upon sharing the quote of Sibawayh and the alternative opinion from an internet forum that suggest ba’da-ma is allowed to be written in two words, I asked to the professor, which one do you think is correct? His exact short answer is as follows where he agrees with Sibawayh as considering ba’da-ma as one word:

“The first explanation is the correct one. They form one word and this is common in Arabic with many particles.”.

I received another answer to the exact form of the question from Dr. Samer Ali, who is an Associate Professor of Arabic and Islamic culture at the Department of Near Eastern Studies from USA, where his answer was also favoring ba’da-ma as one word. Here is his exact answer:

“The short answer is that they become one word in terms of writing/orthography. The longer answer is that the Qur’an was written down before those orthography rules were codified – the original Qur’an texts, for example, didn’t have dots or vowels – so now it’s hard to say definitively what rules apply to Qur’an orthography.”

I also received another answer to the exact form of the question from an Assistant Professor of Arabic Language & Culture from Egypt. His answer was short and clear as this:

“I totally agree with what has been said by Sibawayhi.”.

So, in total I was able to receive three answers about the precious information about the word ba’da-ma from Sibawayh, and all the professors agreed with Sibawayh, which says ba’da-ma is one word. These opinions confirmed that my resource is credible and the information in it is also correct. After that I researched more about Sibawayh and his book Al-Kitab and realized that I found one of the best classical Arabic grammar source available for my specific and subtle question. I was mentally and by heart convinced that I found the right answer and selected the initial text (v.1.0.2) where ba’da-ma as one word and started over the revision from the beginning aging considering this situation. I shared the information from Sibawayh about ba’da-ma with Tanzil server contact person but did not receive a reply.

As he had replied the most before, I further consulted to Dr. Ahmed Ali again about the conclusion I had from quote of Sibawayhi. He fully disagreed with my conclusion and replied that the explanation below. However, his final conclusion was that we have to look at Qurani scripts and I do not agree with that approach as I explained before the disjoint letters, like ‘d’, had always the same space to its preceding letter no matter the word is joint or separate. Here is the the full answer from Dr. Ali:

” I shared the quoted information from the Sibawayh with Dr. Ahmed Allaithy and asked his further opinion on this new information too. He kindly provided me with a detailed answer. He said he looked at this source (Sibawayhi ibn Qanbar, 1988, v2, pp.138-139) for the information from Sibawayh. In short, he does not agree with the conclusion inferred from Sibayahi’s quote which he considers to be a quote out of context. This entails that considering ba3da-ma as being one word based on this misquote cannot be correct in the context of Quran. He believes that we need to look at the manuscripts and physically check the matter from the script for an answer to this specific question. I try to summarize and quote the points of his answer as follows:

“This is really not an evidence to rely on regarding ba3da ma being one word or two words… Sibawayhi was definitely not addressing whether ba3da ma in the Qur’anic script is one word or two words; rather he was addressing a general linguistic issue regarding how the word is used by Arabic users in terms of writing. He was not commenting on the Qur’an…

In conclusion: … It is crystal clear that Sibawayhi never said ba3da and ma are one word. He said al-Murrar al-Faq3asi made them one word to serve his poetic and semantic purposes which he achieved using grammar as explained above. Since your issue under study is whether ba3da and ma are one word or two words, what Sibawayhi says about the noun that follows ba3dama is irrelevant to your discussion.

To end, what I am really saying and stressing here is that if the matter is regarding counting ba3da and ma as one word or two words, you need to consider and physically LOOK at the Qur’anic script. There is no doubt in all the copies I have checked –old and modern- that ba3da and ma in the Ayahs under study, are TWO words separated one from the other like any other two words in the Qur’an. No scholar worthy of his title can say we ignore the Qur’anic script. ”

So, I have my conclusion based on my research but a further discussion from expert academic scholars at a top academic level workshop and publication of the their conclusion with detailed reasoning on the issue would be helpful.

Finally, in the late 2022, the ground breaking general artificial intelligence technology ChatGPT was introduced. Since, it can read also the Arabic literature, I decided to ask her about the issue. The short answer is that ChatGPT replied bada-ma as one word. See the details in the following section.

8.1.3 ChatGPT answers on the word bada-ma

My first prompt to each of the AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) ChatGPT models on date 11-19-2023 is the following prompt. The follow up prompts can be seen in their sections. The AGI model Google BARD was surprisingly better and detailed so I placed it first. One thing that was common is that all the models I tried provided the information that badama is one word. Especially, BARD provided references to early and modern scholars all saying badama as one word. I urge any interested expert scholar to check and verify the answer from BARD by looking at the resources it provided. If correct, that answer perfectly settles the issue as many respected scholars seem to be concluded badama as one word.

Just before I was about to finish my upgrade of this book on around December 14, 2023, a new and latest AGI model released by Google instead of BARD, which is claimed to be on par or even better than ChatGPT-4. I decided to ask the same questions that I had asked to the older version of it, BARD, as presented above in BARD section. Below are my questions and her answers on December 14, 2023. I short, Gemini, brought old and modern scholars opinions about badama as one word as you can see in detail in the end of this chapter.

My first prompt for each ChatGPT model:

Act like you are one of the top expert scholar in classical Arabic grammar and Quranic Arabic while answering all my following questions.

Question: There the word badama (بعدما) in Quran verses 2:181, 8:6 and 13:37. However, some Quran texts write that word as two words like ‘bada ma’ ((بعد ما) while some other Quran texts write it as one word as ‘badama’ (بعدما) .

I am counting the words and I want to cont correctly.

Do you know whether it is one word or two words ACCORDING to classical Arabic grammar and Quranic Arabic?

8.1.3.1 BARD (Goggle):

According to classical Arabic grammar and Quranic Arabic, the word “badamā” (بعدما) is considered one word, not two. This is because the conjunction “ma” (ما) is often incorporated into the preceding preposition or adverb, forming a single lexical unit. This phenomenon is known as “idghām” (إدغام) in Arabic grammar, and it is a common feature of both classical and Quranic Arabic.

In the case of “badamā,” the conjunction “ma” is assimilated into the preposition “baʿda” (بعد), resulting in the formation of the single word “badamā.” This is consistent with the way “ma” is treated in other similar constructions, such as “ḥattā mā” (حتى ما) and “lammā mā” (لما ما).

Therefore, when counting words in the Quran, “badamā” should be counted as a single word, not two. This is in accordance with both classical Arabic grammar and Quranic usage.

MY PROMT 2:

Do you know any early respected scholar, like Sibawayhi or similar, who commented on this exact issue?

BARD

Yes, there are several early respected scholars who commented on the issue of whether “badamā” is one word or two words. One of the most prominent is Sibawayhi (135-206 AH), the renowned grammarian and author of the seminal work “Al-Kitāb” (The Book).

• Sibawayhi (135-206 AH)

In his seminal work “Al-Kitāb” (The Book), Sibawayhi addresses the issue of prepositions and conjunctions, specifically mentioning the case of “badamā.” He states that “badamā” is considered a single word due to the assimilation of the conjunction “ma” into the preposition “baʿda.” He further explains that this assimilation is a common occurrence in Arabic grammar and that it facilitates pronunciation and flow.

Other early scholars who have addressed this issue include:

• Al-Khalīl ibn Ahmad al-Farāhīdī (100-170 AH): A renowned philologist and lexicographer who extensively studied the rules of Arabic grammar. In his work “Kitāb al-ʿAyn” (The Book of the Eye), he discusses the assimilation of “ma” into prepositions and adverbs, including the case of “badamā.”

• Al-Zamakhsharī (467-548 AH): A prominent grammarian and lexicographer who is known for his concise and insightful explanations of grammatical concepts. In his commentary on the Quran, “Al-Kashshāf” (The Uncoverer), he explicitly states that “badamā” is one word, not two.

• Ibn Najāh (d. 1373 AH): A renowned grammarian and linguist who wrote extensively on Arabic grammar and lexicography. In his work “Sharḥ al-Kāfiyah” (Explanation of the Kāfiyah), he provides a detailed analysis of the assimilation of “ma” into prepositions and adverbs, including the case of “badamā.”

These are just a few examples of the many early respected scholars who have commented on the issue of whether “badamā” is one word or two words. Their consensus is that, according to both classical Arabic grammar and Quranic usage, “badamā” should be considered a single word, not two.

MY PROMT 3:

Are there modern scholars who discussed this?

BARD

Yes, there are several modern scholars who have discussed the issue of whether “badamā” is one word or two words. Some notable examples include:

Muhammad Shafi’ ’Imrani (1904-1982)

In his comprehensive work on Quranic grammar, “Al-Wafi fi’l-ʿUlūm wa’l-Funūn wa’l-Ādāb” (The Sufficient in Sciences, Arts, and Literature), ’Imrani dedicates a section to the assimilation of “ma” into prepositions and adverbs. He specifically mentions the case of “badamā” and confirms that it is considered a single word due to this assimilation.

Mustafa Jamaluddin Zarqā’ (1900-1980)

Zarqā’, a renowned scholar of Islamic studies and Quranic interpretation, also addresses the issue of “badamā” in his commentary on the Quran, “Az-Zilāl li’l-Qur’ān al-Majīd” (The Shades of the Glorious Quran). He explains that “badamā” is one word due to the assimilation of “ma” into the preposition “baʿda,” citing the views of classical Arabic grammarians like Sibawayhi.

Muhammad ’Abd al-Salam al-Khaṣṭīb (1917-2000)

In his in-depth analysis of Quranic grammar, “Al-Nahw al-Wāḍiḥ min al-Qur’ān al-Majīd” (The Clear Grammar from the Glorious Quran), al-Khaṣṭīb provides a detailed explanation of the assimilation of “ma” into prepositions and adverbs. He specifically mentions the case of “badamā” and confirms that it is considered a single word, citing the consensus among early and modern scholars.

These are just a few examples of the many modern scholars who have discussed the issue of whether “badamā” is one word or two words. Their consensus is that, according to both classical Arabic grammar and Quranic usage, “badamā” should be considered a single word, not two.

8.1.3.2 ChatGPT-3.5:

In classical Arabic grammar and Quranic Arabic, the word “badama” (بعدما) is considered as one word, not two. The Quranic text is known for its precision in grammar and syntax, and this particular word is consistently written as a single word “badama” (بعدما) in the verses you mentioned (2:181, 8:6, and 13:37).

While there may be variations in how the Quran is printed or transcribed in different texts or editions, it’s essential to rely on authoritative and established sources when studying the Quranic Arabic language and grammar. In this case, according to classical Arabic grammar and Quranic Arabic, “badama” (بعدما) is correctly considered a single word.

8.1.3.3 ChatGPT-4:

I am based on the GPT-4 architecture, and my training data includes information up to April 2023.

MY PROMT on date 11-19-2023:

“Which ChatGPT version are you and what is your latest training date?”

In classical Arabic grammar and Quranic Arabic, the word “بعدما” (badama) is indeed a point of discussion among scholars. To understand this, we need to delve into the nuances of classical Arabic and the orthographic traditions of the Quran.

Classical Arabic Grammar: In classical Arabic, the word “بعدما” combines two parts: “بعد” (ba’d, meaning ‘after’) and “ما” (ma, a relative particle that can mean ‘what’, ‘that which’, etc.). In classical grammar, these two parts can function as a single unit, where “ما” is a conjunction used to introduce a subordinate clause after “بعد”. When they function together as a single unit, they can be written as one word, “بعدما”.

Quranic Arabic and Orthography: The Quranic script, particularly in its early manuscripts, often presents a unique orthography that does not always align with the classical Arabic grammar rules developed later. Early Quranic manuscripts often showed a flexible approach to the separation of words, and the orthography was not standardized in the way it is today. In some Quranic texts, “بعدما” is written as one word, while in others, it is separated into “بعد ما”. This variation reflects the orthographic practices of the time when these manuscripts were written.

Modern Standardization: Modern printed editions of the Quran often adhere to a standardized orthography, which may choose either form. The choice of one word or two does not necessarily affect the meaning significantly but can impact word counts or interpretations of verse structure.

For your purpose of counting words accurately, it’s essential to decide on a standardized form and stick to it. If you are looking at a specific Quranic text or a particular recitation tradition (Qira’at), it would be wise to follow the orthography as presented in that tradition. In academic or scholarly settings, it’s common to specify which orthographic tradition or text edition is being used for such counts.

After I input the answer of BARD to ChatGPT4, this time, it provided a more detailed answer by conforming BARD as follows:

The explanation provided by BARD (Google) aligns with the understanding of classical Arabic grammar and Quranic Arabic. The concept of “idghām” (إدغام) in Arabic grammar, where a conjunction like “ma” (ما) is merged with a preceding preposition or adverb to form a single lexical unit, is a standard grammatical feature.

In the specific case of “badamā” (بعدما), as BARD explains, the conjunction “ma” is assimilated into the preposition “baʿda” (بعد), creating a single word. This treatment of “ma” is consistent with other similar constructions in Arabic, such as “ḥattā mā” (حتى ما) and “lammā mā” (لما ما).

Thus, in line with classical Arabic grammar and the traditional interpretation of Quranic Arabic, “badamā” should indeed be counted as a single word when analyzing the text of the Quran. This understanding is crucial for accurate word counts and textual analysis in Quranic studies.

8.1.3.4 GEMINI (Latest BARD of Goggle):

My first starting question is the main question I share at the beginning of this main chapter and I asked the same to all the model while starting the conversation. I start sharing Gemini’s answer to my main question and will continue with my other quesitons as needed:

Gemini’s answer to my main question:

As a scholar of classical Arabic grammar and Quranic Arabic, I can offer some insights regarding the word “badama” in the verses you mentioned.

Grammatically:

• “Badama” is considered a conjunction in both classical and Quranic Arabic.
• It functions as a subordinating conjunction, similar to “after” or “when” in English, introducing a temporal clause.
• Some grammarians argue it can be analyzed as two words (“bada” and “ma”), but most agree it functions as a single unit with its own morphological and syntactic properties.

Quranically:

• The majority of Hafs readings, a widely accepted recitation tradition, write “badama” as one word. This is supported by the presence of a single “shadda” (doubling mark) over the “ma” in the script.
• Some other readings, such as Warsh, write it as “bada ma” with separate words. However, these are considered variant readings and do not significantly alter the meaning or grammatical function.

Therefore, from both classical Arabic grammar and Quranic Arabic perspectives, “badama” is generally considered one word. This aligns with the dominant Hafs reading and the presence of a single “shadda” in the script.

It’s important to remember that counting words in the Quran can vary depending on the chosen recitation and specific counting methodology. However, for accuracy and consistency, considering “badama” as a single word aligns with prevalent grammatical and Quranic interpretations.

I hope this information provides a helpful perspective on this question. Feel free to ask any further inquiries you may have regarding classical Arabic grammar or Quranic Arabic.

Please note that I am not able to discuss personal opinions or interpretations of the Quran, as my role is to provide information and insights based on established grammatical and linguistic principles.

MY PROMT 2:

Do you know any early respected scholar, like Sibawayhi or similar, who commented on this exact issue?

Gemini

While Sibawayhi doesn’t explicitly address “badama” in his seminal work, “Kitab al-Kitab,” several early and respected scholars have commented on similar constructions and offer relevant insights:

1. Al-Khalil (719-786 AD):

• He analyzed conjunctions like “badama” as composite words, arguing they arose from the fusion of two elements (“ba” and “ma”). This supports the idea of “badama” functioning as a single unit.

2. Al-Mufaddal al-Dababi (737-809 AD):

• He discussed similar conjunctions like “fa’inna” and “hattama” as single words with specific grammatical roles. This analogy strengthens the case for considering “badama” a unified word.

3. Al-Farra (d. 822 AD):

• He analyzed “badama” as one word with a single “shadda” on the “ma,” aligning with the dominant Hafs reading and further supporting its unity.

4. Ibn Malik (1204-1274 AD):

• In his renowned treatise, “Alfiyyah,” he mentions “badama” as a single conjunction, reinforcing the prevailing understanding of its grammatical function.

These scholars, although not directly addressing “badama” itself, provide valuable insights into the nature of similar constructions and support the interpretation of “badama” as a single word in both classical Arabic grammar and Quranic recitation.

It’s important to remember that language analysis and interpretations can evolve over time. While the majority view “badama” as one word, other perspectives exist. However, the evidence from early scholars like Al-Khalil, Al-Mufaddal, Al-Farra, and Ibn Malik aligns with the dominant understanding and provides a strong basis for considering “badama” a unified word in your word count.

Ultimately, the choice of counting “badama” as one or two words might depend on your specific methodology and desired level of granularity. However, understanding the supporting arguments from classical Arabic grammar and prominent scholars like those mentioned above can help inform your decision and ensure consistency in your analysis.

I hope this information proves helpful in your further exploration of this topic.

MY PROMT 3:

Are there modern scholars who discussed this?

Gemini

Absolutely! Modern scholarship has continued to explore “badama” and its status as one or two words, providing valuable insights and perspectives. Here are some notable examples:

1. Muhammad al-Harami (1928-2013):

• A renowned Moroccan scholar, linguist, and expert on Quranic recitation. In his work on Hafs readings, he categorized “badama” as a single conjunction, aligning with the dominant interpretation.

2. Muhammad Fuad Abdul-Baqi (1890-1973):

• A prominent Egyptian scholar and author of the renowned Tafsir Al-Azam. He also considered “badama” a single conjunction in his analysis of Quranic grammar and syntax.

3. Mustafa Sadiq al-Ra’i (1914-2004):

• A distinguished Iraqi linguist and expert on Arabic morphology. He analyzed “badama” as a fused conjunction, supporting the idea of a single word with its own morphological and syntactic properties.

4. Ibrahim Muhammad al-Ani (1943-present):

• A renowned Egyptian linguist and author of several books on Arabic grammar and Quranic studies. He discussed “badama” in his work on Quranic recitation, emphasizing its single-word status based on grammatical and historical evidence.

5. Modern Quranic Recitation Studies:

• Contemporary research on Quranic recitation traditions further strengthens the argument for “badama” as one word. Studies of Hafs and other recitation styles consistently demonstrate the use of a single “shadda” on the “ma,” indicating a unified grammatical unit.

These are just a few examples, and many other modern scholars have engaged in discussions and analyses of “badama” and its word status. The general consensus among them aligns with the classical Arabic grammar principles and the dominant Quranic recitation traditions, supporting the interpretation of “badama” as a single word.

It’s important to note that, like any linguistic matter, there might be alternative perspectives and interpretations. However, the weight of evidence from both classical and modern scholarship strongly favors considering “badama” as one word when analyzing Quranic texts and engaging in word counts.

I hope this information provides a comprehensive overview of modern scholarship on “badama” and empowers you to make informed decisions in your research and analysis.

Please feel free to ask any further questions you might have on this or other topics related to classical Arabic grammar or Quranic studies. I’m here to assist you in your scholarly pursuits.

MY PROMT 4: Do you know a few words in Quran that can be used as a direct analogy to the status of the word badama?

Gemini

Certainly! Here are a few words in the Quran that serve as useful analogies for the status of “badama” as a single word:

1. حَتَّى (hattama): This conjunction, meaning “until” or “so that,” is also analyzed as a single word despite being composed of two elements (“ha” and “ta”). Its unified nature parallels that of “badama,” where the fusion of two elements creates a single grammatical unit.

2. كُلَّمَا (kullamā): This adverbial conjunction, meaning “whenever” or “every time,” exemplifies another composite word with a single “shadda” and a similar grammatical function as “badama.” Its unified structure further strengthens the argument for considering “badama” a single word.

3. لِمَّا (limmā): This conjunction, meaning “because” or “since,” shares a similar composition with “badama” (“li” and “ma”) and carries a single “shadda.” Its status as a unified word further reinforces the analogy for “badama.”

4. ثُمَّ (thumma): This conjunction, meaning “then” or “afterwards,” demonstrates the fusion of two elements (“tha” and “ma”) into a single word, much like “badama.” Its grammatical role and unified structure offer another pertinent analogy.

5. قَدْ (qad): This adverbial particle, meaning “already” or “indeed,” showcases a single “shadda” despite its potential analysis as two elements (“qa” and “da”). Its unified nature, despite the potential for separate components, strengthens the analogy for “badama.”

These are just a few examples, and many other Quranic words exhibit similar characteristics of being composite yet functioning as single grammatical units. By drawing analogies from these words, you can further solidify the understanding of “badama” as a single word in Quranic recitation and analysis.

Remember, linguistic interpretations can vary, but the weight of evidence from classical and modern scholarship, including analogies from other Quranic words, strongly supports the unified status of “badama” as one word.

I hope this information proves helpful and continues to enrich your understanding of Quranic language and grammar.

8.2 Some 19 based codes on the text Version 1.1

The codes that does not include the words information in those three verses are still the same and holds in both text. However, the associated codes are affected. I applied the standard codings with the numbers of this text too to see if there is similar system. I did not observe a similar system where the associated words information is used.

Below, we get the text numbers for all the 6348 verses similarly:

unQuran11 <- c()
for(i in 1:114){
  if(!(i %in% c(1,9))) {
    tmp <- data.frame(1,i,0,4,19,as.character(nQuran11$text[1]))
    colnames(tmp) <- colnames(nQuran11)
    unQuran11 <- rbind(unQuran11,tmp,
                     nQuran11[nQuran11$chapter==i,])}else{
                       unQuran11 <- rbind(unQuran11,
                                        nQuran11[nQuran11$chapter==i,])
                     }
}
unQuran11$VerseI <- c(1:nrow(unQuran11))

tmpUN <- unQuran11
tmpUN$CV <- paste(unQuran11$chapter,unQuran11$verse, sep = ":")

datatable(tmpUN,
          caption = 'Table of all verses of Quran (text v.1.1)',
          extensions = c('Buttons'),
          options = list(pageLength = 5, 
                         autoWidth = TRUE,
                         dom = 'Blfrtip',
                         buttons = c('excel')
          ),
          rownames= FALSE)

Similarly we get chapter level numbers of the text as follows:

cwords <- c()
cletters<-c()
for(i in 1:114){
  cwords <- c(cwords,sum(nQuran11[chapter==i]$vwords))
  cletters <- c(cletters,sum(nQuran11[chapter==i]$vletters))
}
dfVCwl11 <- cbind(dfVC11[,c(1:2)], cwords, cletters)
# Let's print this table
require(DT)
datatable(dfVCwl11,
          caption = 'Total numbers of each category in numbered verses per chapter (text v.1.1)',
          extensions = c('Buttons'),
          options = list(pageLength = 5, autoWidth = TRUE,
                         dom = 'Blfrtip',buttons = c('excel')
          ),rownames= FALSE)

###
cWords <- cwords + nQuran11$vwords[1]
cLetters<-cletters +  nQuran11$vletters[1]
cWords[1] <- cWords[1]-nQuran11$vwords[1]
cLetters[1] <- cLetters[1]-nQuran11$vletters[1]
cWords[9] <- cWords[9]-nQuran11$vwords[1]
cLetters[9] <- cLetters[9]-nQuran11$vletters[1]

#add the one Basmala per chapter verse into the verse counts
dfVCWL11 <-cbind(dfVC11[,c(1:2)],cWords, cLetters )
dfVCWL11$Verse_sum <- dfVCWL11$Verse_sum+1
dfVCWL11$Verse_sum[1] <- dfVCWL11$Verse_sum[1]-1 
dfVCWL11$Verse_sum[9] <- dfVCWL11$Verse_sum[9]-1 
# Let's print this table
datatable(dfVCWL11,
          caption = 'Total numbers of each category in all verses per chapter (text v.1.1)',
          extensions = c('Buttons'),
          options = list(pageLength = 5, autoWidth = TRUE,
                         dom = 'Blfrtip',buttons = c('excel')
          ),rownames= FALSE)

8.2.1 Code: Chapter, verse and words at verse level

In this code, we will simply concatenate the chapter indexes, verse indexes and the number words at each verse considering all the 6236 numbered verses. We will observe that, both, the big number itself and also the digit sum of the big number are multiple of 19. The exact same coding pattern also exist in the text version 1.0.2 but at the chapter level data. But, here we observe the same coding pattern in the verse level numbers of the text 1.1 instead of the code have from chapter level numbers of the text 1.0.2. I provide the proof and the big coding number below.

x<- nQuran11
tmp <- paste0(x$chapter,x$verse,x$vwords)
head(tmp)

## [1] "114" "124" "132" "143" "154" "163"

tail(tmp)

## [1] "11414" "11422" "11432" "11444" "11455" "11463"

tmp <- paste0(tmp, collapse = '')

as.bigz(tmp) %% 19  

## Big Integer ('bigz') :
## [1] 0

digitsum(tmp) %% 19 

## [1] 0

cat("number of digits on this big number is", nchar(tmp))

## number of digits on this big number is 33249

8.2.2 Code: Chapter, Verse, Words, Letters at chapter level rewrite

In this code, we have rewriting coding pattern with the. chapter level numbers. We simply concatenate, from right to left as in Arabic , the chapter indexes, number of verses, words and letters per chapter considering all the 6348 verses. I provide the proof and the big number below.

8.2.2.1 Furher fact

In the previous code we observed the rewriting coding pattern but the same code also works from the other way around, namely without reversing the number. In this code, we simply concatenate the chapter indexes, number of verses, words and letters per chapter considering all the 6236 numbered verses. However, this coding pattern is against my current rules as I use reverse order as in Arabic in the concatenation if there is letters information as I consider it as a rewriting coding pattern. I provide the proof and the big number below.

tmp <- paste0(x$Chapter_index, x$Verse_sum,

8.2.3 Code: Words only at verse level rewrite

In this coding we will concatenate the number of words from right to left as in Arabic. We simply concatenate, from right to left, the number of words in each verse considering all the 6348 verses. I provide the code to reproduce as below.

x<- unQuran11
tmp <- x$vwords
head(tmp)

## [1] 4 4 2 3 4 3

tail(tmp)

## [1] 4 2 2 4 5 3

tmpr <- rev(tmp)
tmpr <- paste0(tmpr, collapse = '')
as.bigz(tmpr) %% 19

## Big Integer ('bigz') :
## [1] 0

cat("number of digits on this big number is", nchar(tmpr))
