1. Surah 19 begins with letters KHY’AS. This verse is the 1230th initialed verse of the Quran. The gematrical value of Rashad Khalifa is 1230.
The gematrical value of Rashad is 505 + the gematrical value of Khalifa 725 = 1230
| Initialed Sura Number | Number of Verses |
| 2 | 286 |
| 3 | 200 |
| 7 | 206 |
| 10 | 109 |
| 11 | 123 |
| 12 | 111 |
| 13 | 43 |
| 14 | 52 |
| 15 | 99 |
| 19 | 1 |
Total = 286 + 200 + 206 + 109 + 123 + 111 + 43 + 52 + 99 + 1 = 1230
2. Rashad Khalifa died on 01/31/1990. Using the orientation that is commonly used outside of the US as Day/Month/Year this would be written as 31/01/1990.
31011990 = 19 x 1230 x 1327. The first verse of sura 19 is the 1230th initialed verse, and the last verse of sura 19 is the 1327th initialed verse.
3. Surah 19 has the initials K.H.Y.’A.S and the total count of these initials in sura 19 occur = 137 + 175 + 343 + 117 + 26 = 19 x 42 = 798
Therefore, sura 19 has 798 initialed letters in this sura.
Rashad Khalifa lived 19,797 days on earth and was taken before the 798th day.
