number 19 miracle, how legitimate is this? (quranic initials)

[iknowi]

Asalamu alaykum,

They say that all the surahs initialed with A.L.M have a total occurance of the three letters taken together that is a multiple of 19. The same goes for the other initialed surahs e.g ya-seen, ha-meem etc.

How can we know that this is legitimate? For example, isnt the Alif a vowel, therefore its not compulsory to write it, therefore how can you still count all of the Alif-Lam-Meem letters together?

Wa Alaikum As'salam dear brother,

Thousands of examples for the Number 19 Miracle exist here:

And this is not from the work of the deviant, Rashad Khalifa, either.  It is from genuine Sunni Scholars.

And the rules that they used to determine what is a vowel and what is a character/letter, and what are is the numerical value for each character/letter all came from the Glorious Quran Itself, in particular from Surat Nuh, where the Noble Surah determined all of that, and it has the Numerical Miracle of claiming that Prophet Nuh (Noah) lived among his people for 950 years, and the Noble Surah Itself was written in exactly 950 letters.

I have verified this claim by counting them myself and posting them on the site.  Again, visit the link above.

Take care,
