Night of Ordainment
Evidence for the 23rd of Ramadhaan
Ali Adams, Cardiff, UK, 2014
Abstract
Using numerical analysis into the Quran and Hadith, it has been shown with a
very high certainty that the Night of Ordainment (Laylat Al-Qadr‫ )ليلة القدر‬is indeed
the night of 23rd of Ramadhan as has been passed from generation to generation
by the followers of Ahlul-Bayt (The Prophet, Fatima, and The 12 Imams) peace be
upon them all and the curse of Allah be upon their enemies as per Quran 3:86-87

003:086 How shall Allah guide a people who have disbelieved after their faith and
[after] bearing witness that the Messenger is true, and [after] manifest proofs
had come to them? Allah does not guide the wrongdoers. 003:087 Their requital
is that there shall be upon them the curse of Allah, the angels, and all of mankind.
Definitions

spelled in the original Uthmani script (not emlaaei).
Proof is a certainty to a 100% level. It is a fact that cannot be disputed.
Evidence is a certainty level below 100%. No evidence can be considered a proof
unless it reaches a 100% certainty.
(swt) = (‫ )سبحانه وتعالى‬is an abbreviation that follows the Name of God, Allah
(swt) which means “Glory to Him and Exalted”.
(pbuh+f) is an abbreviation which stands for (peace be upon him and his family)
that follow the mention of the name of the Prophet Muhammed (pbuh+f).

The Islamic Calendar
The Islamic calendar, of which Ramadhaan is the 9th month, is a lunar calendar
where a month is ~29.5 days long. The lunar year has 354.37 days. In every 19
years, there are 12 normal years of 354 days and 7 leap years of 355 days.
The extra day in a leap year is not added to a fixed month (like February in the
Gregorian calendar) but rather it rotates because the start of each month is
dependent on the location on Earth and the time of day where the new moon is
born for that month. Moreover, the Islamic day starts at sunset not midnight.
Evidence for Night of Ordainment as 23rd of Ramadhaan
Quran chapter #97 “Night of Ordainment” uses 23 letters of the Arabic alphabet
as shown in the table below.

097:001 Indeed We have sent it down on the Night of Ordainment.
097:002 And what will show you what is the Night of Ordainment?
097:003 The Night of Ordainment is better than a thousand [lunar]
months.
097:004 In it the angels and the Spirit descend, by leave of their Lord,
with every command.
097:005 It is peaceful until the rising of the dawn.

Chapter #97 (Night of Ordainment) letters and their frequencies
In order to understand the evidence I am about to present, you (yes YOU) need
to understand a little bit about numbers and prime numbers specifically as Allah
(swt) gives oath by the independent numbers in Quran 89:3
ْ
ْ ْ
‫ﻟﻮﺗﺮ‬
/ ‫وٱ‬
‫ﻟﺸﻔﻊ وٱ‬
By the co-dependents and by the independent.
Since 1978, independent or prime numbers have been used to generate Keys
in Public Key Cryptography where secret information is encrypted using public
keys and decrypted using private keys so no need to share the private keys. Here
is a quick summary of the RSA algorithm with a downloadable demo:
https://heliwave.com/forum/index.php/topic,36.
Prime numbers like atoms to molecules and 1 is like a proton to an atom. What’s
more, the energy gaps between electronic shells are related to prime numbers.
Look up [Quantum physics may offer clues to solving prime number problem:
electron energy levels linked to Riemann hypothesis.]
A question about why elements with last electron at shell S1 have prime atomic
numbers:
http://community.discovery.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/1261917489/m/394193739
9 and the answer is here: http://vixra.org/pdf/1101.0001v1.pdf.
Prime numbers are the mothers of their multiples. 2 is the mother of all even
numbers (except itself of course, 3 is the mother of all multiple of 3 or I like to
call them even-3 numbers, and so on. Evenness by 2 is a special case of
evenness by any prime numbers. 9 is even with respect to 3 while 10 is odd with
respect to 3, so 9 is even-3 and 10 is odd-3. There is no need to classify numbers
into evens and odds. It only makes us look at numbers from a narrow point of
view. Scrap all knowledge about even and odds and start seeing numbers as
primes (or mothers) and composites (children) only. This way we may progress
our knowledge of inherent properties of numbers.
Al-Quran or The Readable Book start with chapter #1 The Opener (‫ )الفاتحة‬which is
built upon prime numbers (7 verses, 29 words, 139 letters) with prime digit
sums (7=7, 2+9=11, 1+3+9=13). Such numbers are called Additive Prime
Numbers. More over, joining these numbers left-to-right 729139 or right-to-left
139297 also produce additive prime numbers (primes with a prime digit sum
[7+2+9+1+3+9=31]).
Allah (swt) has built the Quran into two parts, chapter #1 The Opener or The
Key, and The Great Quran as stated in Quran 15:87

where both 113 and 6229 are primes with prime digit sums 1+1+3=5 and
6+2+2+9=19 making them both additive prime numbers.
In order to understand how special the number 23 is, let’s look at some of its
known properties:
23 is a prime number with a prime digit sum (2+3=5) and even the digits
themselves (2 and 3) are primes too.
23 ones (11111111111111111111111) is an additive prime number.
Such primes with only 1s in their digits are called Repunit Primes
[http://gmplib.org/~tege/repunit.html] and in 2009, the only known repunits
have 2, 19, 23, 317, 1031, 49081, 86453, 109297, and 270343 1s in them.
This can also point to 19 as the Night of Ordainment.
The sum of the indivisible numbers from 1 to 19
(1+2+3+5+7+11+13+17+19 = 78) is a composite number with a composite
digit sum of 7+8=15 making it an additive composite number.
The sum of the indivisible numbers from 1 to 23
(1+2+3+5+7+11+13+17+19+23 = 101) is a prime number with a prime digit
sum of 1+0+1 = 2 making it an additive composite number.
Left-to-right 123571113171923 is a prime number with a prime digit sum of
1+2+3+5+7+1+1+1+3+1+7+1+9+2+3 = 47 making it an additive prime
number.
Right-to-left 231917131175321 is a prime number with a prime digit sum of
2+3+1+9+1+7+1+3+1+1+7+5+3+2+1 = 47 making it an additive prime
number.
NOTE: These two last facts are unique to 23 only (and if any similar case exists
then it is for a larger prime than 30 which is the max days in a lunar month). It is
incredible to have these two huge complementary numbers (123571113171923
and 231917131175321) as prime numbers let alone additive prime numbers.
All other candidate nights as composites:
1235711131719 = 3 * 11971 * 34408463
1917131175321 = 3 * 639043725107
12357111317192329 = 8353 * 1479362063593
29231917131175321 = 31 * 131 * 144497 * 49815613
Of course, Allah (swt) gives oath by 19 too but that is outside any ODD (‫)فردي‬
night in the last 10 nights of Ramadhaan which, from the oath “By The
Independent” (‫ )والوتر‬should have been understood as a PRIME night not ODD
night and that can only be 23 or 29 and 29 cannot even start to compete with
23.
One must never forget that the number of chromosome pairs in the human
genome is 23 and the tilt of the Earth with respect to its revolution plane around
the Sun is 23.4 degrees.
Finally, start Ramadhaan astronomically (from moon birth) not from seeing the
crescent as Allah (swt) says in Quran 2:185 “Witness” not “See” the month which
means “Lived the month with full awareness as expected by any court witness,
not insane or in death bed”:

002:185 The month of Rama¤¡n is one in which the Quran was sent down as
guidance to mankind, with manifest proofs of guidance and the Criterion. So let
those of you who witness it fast [in] it, and as for someone who is sick or on a
journey, let it be a [similar] number of other days. Allah desires ease for you, and
He does not desire hardship for you, and so that you may complete the number
and magnify Allah for guiding you, and that you may give thanks.
Whereas when it comes to counting lunar years and Pilgrimage (10th
Dhu-Al-Hijja), Allah (swt) commands us to use the crescents (which are
visible after few days, not new moons as in the translation) to adjust the start
of each lunar month.

002:189 They question you concerning the new moons. Say, ‘They are
timekeeping signs for the people and [for the sake of] hajj.’ It is not piety that
you enter houses from their rear; rather, piety is [personified by] one who is
Godwary, and enter houses from their doors and be wary of Allah, so that you
may be felicitous.
And if you still need more clues, then the Authentic Hadith state that the Night of
Ordianment IS A CLEAR SKY NIGHT, so look out for a clear sky from sunset to
dawn (Peace till dawn as per Quran 97:5) on the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th in the hope
one of them would be the CORRECT 23rd night of Ramadhaan, in sha Allah.
Do not disable you brain! Question everything because you will be
questioned on Judgment Day as to how you’ve used your Intellect
(‫ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! )عقل‬Good luck.
