Allah Almighty Said that it is one of the GREATEST Miracles of the Glorious Quran. Have you seen the 100s of examples that were found in the Glorious Quran that testify to the Divinity of the Holy Book? Also, other great Numerical Miracles in the Glorious Quran were found. Please visit:

Yes Holy Quran do have numerical miracles but the way people use nineteen is not miracle. I mean just because something is multiple of nineteen is not a miracle. Why 6236 (# of verse) is not divisible by 19? Why 286 (longest chapter) is not divisible by 19? Why 98 (# of verses in 19th chapter) is not divisible by 19?
Maybe 19 is a miracle but its not like we are thinking there are a lot of things in Quran which are not multiple of 19. And Quran is a linguistic miracle too people should try to look that kind of miracles.
For example see how beautifully Allah talked about judgement day in Surah 69!
069:014 And the earth and the mountains are lifted and leveled with one blow -
069:015 Then on that Day, the Resurrection will occur,
069:016 And the heaven will split [open], for that Day it is infirm.
069:017 And the angels are at its edges. And there will bear the Throne of your Lord above them, that Day, eight [of them].
069:018 That Day, you will be exhibited [for judgement]First Allah Almighty mentioned Earth (ground) then he mentioned something higher Mountains then something more higher sky then something higher Angels then something more higher Throne (of Allah) and then more higher Your Lord (Allah).
Allah placed things from low to high object thats why i kept increasing the size of text!
And in Surah 57:20 Allah summarized our entire life in just one verse!
-Surah 57;20
"Know that the life of this world is only play (لعب) and amusement (لهو) pomp/beauty (زينة) mutual boasting among you (تفا خر) and Rivalry in respect of wealth and children(تَكَاثُرٌ فِي الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَوْلَاد)."
-We start as toddlers. This verse starts with play(لعب) which toddlers are engrossed in, it is most important to them.
-Then when we get a little older we need entertainment to keep us busy – amusement(لهو).
-A little later in our teens we are obsessed with pomp, or appearance and how beautiful/attractive things look (زينة).
-Then as we get independent and make money we deal with urges to show off (boasting – تفا خر).
-Then we get married and have kids (rivalry in wealth and children تَكَاثُرٌ فِي الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَوْلَادِ).People should search these kind of things from Quran rather than multiples of 19. Allah know whats the miracle of 19 but its probably not multiples of 19 like Rashad Khalifa did.
