9. MATHEMATICAL COMPOSITIONMATHEMATICAL COMPOSITION
Fourteen Arabic letters
(half the Arabic alphabet) participate in
the formation of 14 different sets of
Quranic Initials.
By adding the gematrical value of each
one of these letters, plus the number of
suras which are prefixed with Quranic
Initials (29), we obtain a total of 722, or
19x19x2.
10. MATHEMATICAL COMPOSITIONMATHEMATICAL COMPOSITION
If we add the total gematrical
value of all 14 initials, plus the
number of the first sura where the
initial occurs, we get a grand total
of
988 or 19x52.
Table below presents these data.
