The Byzantines and the Persians actually fought at the Dead Sea basin, which is situated at the intersection point of the lands belonging to Syria, Palestine, and Jordan. At 399 meters below sea level, the Dead Sea is the "lowest" place on Earth's surface.181
However, as only modern measuring methods and equipment can prove this fact,..

My answer
If you'd like to read the entire articles, please visit this link: http://www.miraclesofthequran.com/predictions_01.html I would like to point out some of the falsification in this article but before I begin, let us quote Mr. Harun:
“...defeated Christian Byzantium in 613-14 took
place in the region. The Lake of Lut region,”
All of you can go and search for the Siege of Jerusalem. After the twenty-first day of bombardment, the city's walls finally broke, Persians army continually blasted the walls of Jerusalem with ballistas and other military engines.
Read here:
Antiochus Strategos, The Capture of Jerusalem by the Persians in 614 AD,
FREDERICK C. CONYBEARE, English Historical Review 25 (1910) pp. 502-517
The beginning of the struggle of the Persians with the Christians of Jerusalem was on April 15th, in the second indiction, of the fourth year of the Emperor Heraclius. They spent twenty days in struggle. And they shot from their ballistas with such violence that on the twenty-first day, they broke down the city wall.
The war was in the city for 21 days before the city fell into the hands of the Persian army. This was Mr. Harun's claim. I will now demonstrate to you the way he makes his claims, as he always does, by manufacturing a new meaning of the Qur’an.
. This word has the same meaning as “ few”, which is a number between 3 and 9 maximum. As long as Mr. Harun agreed about the date when the verse was revealed to Muhammad, as he said, seven years before 627, this means that the verse was made in 620. This is a great point that Mr. Harun made to expose his lie. Quoting his words:
“These verses were revealed around 620, almost 7 years after the idolatrous Persians had severely defeated Christian Byzantium in 613-14.”
Now I challenge him as well as all the Muslims to give me the source to where it says that Muhammad revealed this verse in the year 620. At the same time, I will show you in the following book the proof that this is absolutely false and it’s a shameless lie.
The Location of the Battle Book of Asbab Al-Nuzul, 1963 Print., Vol. 1, p. 674
You can read the entire story by visiting the Jordanian government’s website at: click here
1. As you read, the battle between both armies was in the city of Basra which is located 120 km (75 miles) from the Dead Sea and is 850 m above the sea level.
2. The city of Izra' is located 136 km (84 miles) from the Dead Sea and its height is 650 m above the sea level.
3. This is clear proof that Mr. Harun lied even about the location as he said: "The Dead Sea basin where Byzantium was defeated by Persians. Above is a satellite photograph of the region. The Lake of Lut region, which is the lowest region of the world, is 395 meter below the sea level."
4. It's very obvious that they are trying to make and create the miracle out of nothing. And he said, about the word [Adna] the following: "This Arabic expression adna al-Ard is interpreted as "a nearby place" in many translations. However, this is not the literal meaning, but rather a figurative interpretation. The word adna, derived from the word dani (low), means “the lowest”. The word ard means “the world.” therefore, adna al-ard means "the lowest place on Earth." It's very clear that Mr. Harun is playing a fool’s game against those who do not know Arabic. But that will not work for someone like me with Arabic as my first language. I also spent my entire life studying it and studying with it. If you go back and read what I posted for you from the book of Asbab Al-Nuzul, 1963 Print., Vol. 1, p. 674, the story there explains to us the actual meaning and to quote "(adna al-ard ) which is the closest point of the Arabian land."
1) This is why all Islamic translations agree nearest Sahih International trans: “In the nearest land. But they, after their defeat, will overcome.”
2) Muhsin Khan “I n the nearer land (Syria, Iraq, Jordan, and Palestine), and they, after their defeat, will be victorious.”
3) Pickthall trans
“In the nearer land, and they, after their defeat will be victorious”
4) Yusuf Ali trans
“In a land close by; but they, (even) after (this) defeat of theirs, will soon be victorious-”
5.
We can find the same inside the interpretation of Ibn Kathir Vol. 6, page 303. The Almighty said: "the Roman defeated" and that battle was between the Persians and the Romans where they defeated between Izra' and Busra as reported by Ibn Abbas, and Ikramah, plus many others [of the prophet’s companions] in those two cities it is the edge between the land of Syria in the land of Hijaz (Arabia), and Mujahid said it was the nearest between the land of the Romans and the Persians.
a) Isn't it really ridiculous to tell the world that your god Allah reported the fall of Jerusalem 6 years after the real date? What's up with Allah? Was his news reporter using camels?
b) The people of Mecca had many caravans going to Damascus in Syria. Even Muhammad himself went in caravans to Syria at that time. This included all of Jordan and what was called Palestine.
If we go and see what the last defeat of the Romans was before they became victorious, it was in the year 614 which was the Siege of Jerusalem (614). There was one war after that of the Persians; the failure of a Persian attack on Constantinople, but there was no winner in that attack. Since the only defeat of the Romans before their victory over the Persians was the Siege of Jerusalem (614), and the victory of the Romans was in the year 227, then this means that it was 13 years after and not a few years as the Qur’an claims.
Few = bed' = 3 to 9 عضب as in his translation.
Qur’an 30:1-4
Alif, Lam, Mim. The Romans have been defeated in the lowest land, but after their defeat they will be victorious within three to nine years. The affair is Allah's from beginning to end. On that day, the believers will rejoice.
How can we give more proof that the Qur’an speaks about the Siege of Jerusalem? Read with me Mr. Harun’s words, not mine!
{...the Byzantine Empire and the Persians, when the Byzantines were defeated and lost Jerusalem, had really taken place at the lowest point on earth.}
And one more quote:
{defeated Christian Byzantium in 613-14.} I think falsification cannot live long with the truth. This is the answer of the first lie or claim about the prophecy of Muhammad and the victory of the Byzantine. To make my point clear, I will show you that it's funny and impossible that Arabs in Mecca never heard of what was going on in Jerusalem until the year 620, as Harun said, “These verses were revealed around 620.”
Below, I have listed caravan attacks launched by Muhammad. These raids will tell us how many caravans came and went from Syria each year.
On top of that, the one who made this claim surely didn’t know nor had read the book before, as even the Qur’an tells us how many trips the people of Mecca did per year!
Qur’an 106:1
For the agreement of security that practiced by the Quraysh,
Qur’an 106:2
protecting their trade caravans during their trading winter and summer trip
Ibn Kathir’s interpretation
We made them (Quraysh trips) live in their land and we made as the timing of the caravans to set forth in winter and summer, in winter to go to Yemen and in summer they go to Syria.
What we understand from this verse is that the Quraysh tribe (People of Mecca) went on for at least two trips a year. This is enough to prove that it is a false claim. Another proof is that the verse was revealed by Muhammad right after all the people of Mecca had received it. We see this in the interpretation of Qur’an 30:1-4 by Imam AL-Tabarani:
&nbs
p; "The Kufar of Quraysh was happy to hear that the Romans were defeated and they were saying Muhammad’s claim to have the same god as the Christians, so we can defeat Muhammad as the Christians were defeated, and the king of the Romans sent his army when he heard the news about the coming of the Persian army, and they met in Izre' and Busra, which is the nearest location of the land of Syria to the land of the Arabic [the border between the Arabian and nonArabian land], so the Persians were victorious, and the Persians occupied the city of Jerusalem, which was the center of the Roman spiritual worship."
It's clear that the verse of Muhammad was made immediately as a response to those who were making fun of the loss of the Romans. Mr. Harun had to play games and make us believe that the verse was given from Allah to Muhammad 6 years later!

THE MIRACLE OF 19 IN THE QUR’AN
http://www.miraclesofthequran.com/mathematical_03.html Another mathematical miracle of the Qur’an is the manner in which the number 19 is numerologically encoded in verses. This number is stressed in the words of the Qur’an: "There are nineteen in charge of it." (Qur’an, 74:30), and is encoded in various places in the Book. Some examples of this can be listed as follows:
The Formula consists of 19 letters. Please see following table.
The Qur’an consists of 114 (19 x 6) Suras.
The first Sura to be revealed (Sura 96) is the 19th from the end. The first verses of the Qur’an to be revealed are the first five verses of Sura 96 and the total number of words in these verses is 19.
-------------------------------------------
My answer I will answer each photo one by one, to show you how Muslims deceive. If you look at the top of this image, you see that the Muslims are using the artistic writing of Arabic, which is not showing the letter A = أ or “Alif”. They know that Westerners don’t know Arabic, and those who do may not even notice it. In this form of writing, the letter A always comes in that way; hardly noticeable. It's also making it short, but there is the letter A = ا there, as I will show.
13th letter: This is the letter A, or “Alif” as spoken in the Arabic tongue. It's made small and in an artistic way, but this is why it's still showing in the word. Why did the Muslims delete it? Well, they have to or else the letter count will end as 20 and then the miracle is smoked!
We obey the PROPHET AND OBEY GOD; HE IS AL-RAHMAN
This is how the word is: AL-R AHMAN. This is a print screen taken from the Ministry of Islam, Government website of Saudi Arabia.
The 1stword inside the box is AL-RAHMAN. The first claim is gone with the wind! The Muslims today they do write it in the Qur'an but Qur'an never took it off, it shows as a small letter artistically, and as long the Qur'an writer 'Uthman made this way who dare to took back to the way it use to be!
This is one of the most deceptive claims posted in Harun Yahya's website. The fact is, it's not even his work! It was a claim made by an Egyptian man who was killed by Muslims in Arizona. The Khalifa was murdered at Masjid Mosque in Tucson, Arizona for doing two things: 1) deleting verses from the Qur’an to make this number 19 miracle work for him, and 2) for claiming to be the messenger of Allah.
Rashad Khalifa, who received his Ph.D. in biochemistry from Arizona State University and a Ph.D. from the University of California, based his claim on false calculations; sometimes by counting letters as words, and other times counting letters as letters. Add to that he had to say that there were false verses in chapter 9 of the Qur’an, namely verses 128 and129.
As you see, even the Muslims rejected this false miracle and murdered him, showing the peace of Islam. I have to ask myself, why is Mr. Harun playing the number 19 game again? Muslims follow their prophet's teaching, which is the war of deception.
I think Mr. Harun in a very easy way he have many working for hin and they are maybe copy and past from other Muslims claims. The link below shows 2 photos taken as is from his website:
http://www.miraclesoftheQur’an.com/mathematical_03.html
open the site please to view it
See the و in here? He considered it but did not count it at all! As we see in other next;
He is saying that he will not count theو(“WA”). This means that the letter “ WA”وis being added or Allah does not know that we have to take it off now!! Can or does Harun Yahya DARE to drop a letter from the Qur’an?!
The letter “WA”و is a letter but in that location it is equal to the word “And”. In the coming photo, I will show how they even made two words as one. How? Maybe the two words got married in a Christian church and this made them united?
I will make them both bigger so you can see them and show how Muslims lie and play games!
We will show you from the Qur'an itself that these are not connected and not one word;
but he made the two words into one! Why? So he could make his dream come true. Changing the numbers of the lotto to your side will not make it real! This one alone, I mean counting two words as one, is enough to destroy all of Harun's or Rashad Khalifa's claims!
The rest of the claim is based on these, so since we have already proved it to be a lie, there is no need to continue proving the false miracle of 19.
How will Allah recognize the Muslims from non-Muslims?
Qur’an 2:134
therefore, We have nominated you a middle nation, that ye may be witnesses against mankind, and that the messenger may be a witness against you. And We have chosen the direction of the qiblah which you previously celebrated only that We might know him whom follower the messenger, from him who turn on his heels against (Allah) In truth. It was a hard trial with the exclusion of for those whom Allah guided. However, it was not Allah's goal that your faith should be in vain, for Allah is merciful to mankind.
Let us study this verse carefully and you will notice the following: 1. The Kaaba is not a holy place as Muslims claim or even as Allah himself claims in the Qur’an as we read in Yusuf Ali’s translation:
Qur’an 5:97
Allah made the Kaaba, the Sacred House, an asylum of security for men, as also the Sacred Months, the animals for offerings, and the garlands that mark them: That ye may know that Allah hath knowledge of what is in the heavens and on earth and that Allah is well acquainted with all things.
Because Allah made it a place of direction for one reason and that is to know who is a Muslim and who’s not. 2. As long as Allah made it for that reason which is to know who is a Muslim and who’s not, it then means that he is all knowledgeable which the Qur’an keeps talking about. If Allah is all-knowing, he doesn’t need to know who is a Muslim and who’s not a Muslim.
“ And We have chosen the direction of the qiblah which you previously celebrated only that We might know him whom follower the messenger, from him who turn on his heels against (Allah)”
3. As you see he is making it very clear “only that We might know” and notice he is saying we might know? So he might know and might not?
Why did Allah make the boys sleep in the cave for more than 309 years ? This story is one more proof that Qur’an is a fairy tale story. Here, Allah tells the story of boys who refused to deny Allah and they ran away for their lives by hiding in the cave and Allah made them fall asleep for an unknown number of years!
So the question here is, why did Allah do this miraculous act? The answer is in the following verses:
So now after reading these verses together, Allah told us why he performed this amazing funny miracle.
Qur’an 18:9-14
9Or do you think that the boys of the cave and the Raqim (Name of a Valley) was of Our wonderful wonders.
10 when the youths searched for refuge in the cave, they said,: Our Lord! Grant us from yourself mercy from, and provide us a right guidance in our affair.
11So We blocked them from hearing in the cave for a number of years.
12Then We raised them up that We might know which of the two parties was most successfully able to
calculate the time for which they remained.
13 We recount to you their story with the truth; surely, they were youths, which believed in their Lord, and We multiplied them in guidance. 14And We supported their hearts with patience, when they stood up and said,: Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and of the earth; we will not call any as god besides Him, for then indeed we should have said a false thing.
“12Then We raised them up that We might know which of the two parties was most successfully able to calculate the time for which they remained.” (Qur’an 18:12)
1. Did Allah want to have some fun and see who is better in giving the most accurate number about how many years they slept?
2. Allah wanted to know? Yes as you see he said, “that We might know” so does that mean Allah will not know until he raises them and asks them? What makes sense is that if Allah already knows he will not have fun getting the correct answer. It is like watching a movie wherein he does not know and he cannot wait to see who of the three boys will give the most accurate number of years.
3. Again Allah uses the word “W e might know”. So what’s wrong with this Allah that even after they give the answer he still will not know. Or maybe because he does not know which is the correct answer anyway? Or can someone tell me what the phrase “We might know” stands for?
4. On the top of that, what did we learn from this silly story? Are we a bunch of kids being told bedtime stories by grandma?
5. In the same chapter, we read this:
Qur’an18:18
And you might think they were awake, even though they were asleep, and We made them turn over to the right and the left, their dog stretching forth his two fore-legs on the threshold: if you take a look at them, you would have certainly turned back from them in flight, and would definitely have been occupied with terror of
them. 6. I think the story is more exciting now for kids because Allah added a dog with the three boys! But we thought Allah hated the believers who own dogs?
