Challenge: A short article which easily proves that the submitters are on the wrong path.
Submitters can be proven wrong with just a few statements. In this article I shall put up facts which prove that these submitters from submission.org along with rk are liers, and mislead people who are deliberately misleading people.
ONE
rk has said in his appendix two that he has counted "NUN" (the beginning initial of soorath "Al-Galam" or soorath 68) as two NuNs because it is spelled as "Nun-Wow-Nun". But rk does not count " MiM" (The initial in many Quranic chapter begginings) as two Mims even when it is spelled out as as "Mim-Yaa-Mim". Why?? because rk desires to see the Quran giving up a 19 divisible answer when the intials are counted that he counts some as one and some as two regardless of his own theories of counting the intials according to how they are spelled.
Spelling out this specific Initial makes sense when considering the whole picture, the signs in the text itself and the totals produced in the 28 other suras.
An intelligent person will look at the other 28 chapters and conclude, at least, that this is something far beyond coincidence. He or she will then look at Sura 68, the last of the initialed chapters and ask him or herself, "What could we be missing?"
As we study this matter we find that according to grammatical facts as well as clear hints in the scripture itself, it is proven more probable that N should be spelled as NuN, as presented by Rashad Khalifa.
We know that God chose the scriptural languages to be Hebrew, Arameic and Arabic. We also know that there are several connections between the three. One such connection is the usage of gematrical values connected to each letter. A gematrical value is the number value assigned to each letter in those alphabets. In those days the alphabets were used to describe numbers. The letter A=1, B=2, M=40, R=200, N=50, just to mention a few.
This is why it is significant to see that the word for One, as in One God, which is spelled as "Wahed" in Arabic, adds up to the value of 19 in all three scriptural languages. That is the basic message since the beginning of time, as the First Commandments says, "There is no god except the One God."
The name of the letter N in Arabic is NuN, spelled out as Nun Waw Nun (with three letters). In Hebrew the letter NuN is one of three letters called “double letters”, having both a “medial” form (kefufah) and an ending form (peshuta). Thus the word “Nun” itself is spelled Nun-Vav-(final)Nun and looks as follows:
Another telling sign that the Initial N should be spelled out as NuN in Sura 68, is found in the chapter itself. The word NuN is associated with the word "fish." Verse 68:48-50 speaks of "the one who called from inside the fish", i.e. Jonah, or Zan-Noon. Jonah's name is spelled with 2 N's in verse 21:87 but is referred to as 'Ashabul Hoot' in Sura 68, without a single N.The the final N is known to represents someone "righteous", someone who is rewarded by being faithful and by humbling themselves before God. Is it then a coincidence that God in verse 68:48-50 describes how Jonah, whose name is spelled out with 2 N's, who finally humbled himself totally and called from inside the fish (NuN means fish) (37:143) and then was blessed by being made righteous.
[68:50] But his Lord blessed him, and made him righteous.
Jonah is the only name mentioned in the entire sura.

There is no doubt that there will be very hard to find a copy of the Arabic Quran with the letter NuN spelled out as in the original text, just as it will be virtually impossible to find one without the two false verses (9:128-129).
God however gave us a tool to reestablish the correct writing of the the very few parts of the text that were tampered with, even without an original copy in our hands.
TWO
rk claims that the holy months have been changed . rk furthermore claims that a "careful study" of the Quran would reveal which months are the holy months. Still he fails in pointing out any evidence to support this false claim of his. Can any submitter prove it??
The verses in the Quran concerning the sacred months tell us that these four months are continuous months; not interrupted months as the tradition now claims. It is clear from the verses below that God is referring to a four month respite for the disbelievers during the Sacred Months, starting with the "great day of pilgrimage", the first day of the first month.
[9:1] An ultimatum is herein issued from GOD and His messenger to the idol worshipers who enter into a treaty with you.
[9:2] Therefore, roam the earth freely for four months, and know that you cannot escape from GOD, and that GOD humiliates the disbelievers.
[9:3] A proclamation is herein issued from GOD and His messenger to all the people on the great day of pilgrimage, that GOD has disowned the idol worshipers, and so did His messenger. Thus, if you repent, it would be better for you. But if you turn away, then know that you can never escape from GOD. Promise those who disbelieve a painful retribution.
[9:4] If the idol worshipers sign a peace treaty with you, and do not violate it, nor band together with others against you, you shall fulfill your treaty with them until the expiration date. GOD loves the righteous.
[9:5] Once the Sacred Months are past, (and they refuse to make peace) you may kill the idol worshipers when you encounter them, punish them, and resist every move they make. If they repent and observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat), you shall let them go. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
The four sacred months are Zul-Hijjah, Muharram, Safar, & Rabi` I (12th, 1st, 2nd, 3rd months). There is no dispute with Zul-Hijjah as one of the four sacred months as the name of this month implies connection with Hajj. Rabi` is derived from the root word Araba which means 4.
There are 2 months in the lunar calendar with the name Rabi`; the third month - Rabi` I and the fourth month - Rabi` II. Use of the word Rabi` (implying 4) for the fourth calendar month is understandable, but why is the third month also has the word Rabi` in it. It is fourth of what? As we see from the above evidence, It is the fourth of the 4 sacred months beginning with Zul-Hijjah.
The mathematical miracle links the four "continuous" sacred months with Hajj, to verse of 2:197
The Gematrical Values (GV) of the letters in Zul-Hijjah are 700,61,308,3,5
The GV of the letters in Muharram are 40,8,200,40
The GV of the letters in Safar are 90,80,200
The GV of the letters in Rabi` I are 200,2,10,70,1,6,30
700,61,308,3,5 + 40,8,200,40 + 90,80,200 + 200,2,10,70,1,6,30 + 2 + 197 = 207266732904 =19x10908775416.

rk translates the Quran wrong deliberately. Would a messenger of Allah dare do such a thing? Take a look at the articles to whom the links have been given below;Part one of exposing deliberate mistranslation
Please see response on the following page.
Part two of exposing deliberate mistranslation
Please see response on the following page.
This is enough to prove that the submitters are on a wrong path leading to hell.
I challenge the writer of all these articles to come clean and admit that what he is really having trouble with is not the miracle itself, but with the enlightened Quranic conclusions that have emerged as a consequence of it. It exposes those who insist on upholding traditions and sources outside the Quran which contradicts the Quran, promotes idol worship and insults God and His final prophet (6:114-115, 18:27, 17:46, 6:19).
If the writer of these articles are sincere in pursuing the truth, he should be happy to see other people dedicate their worship to God alone and choosing the Quran as their source for guidance and information (6:19, 72:18, 4:36, 4:146, 6:162, 39:3, 39:17, 39:45, 40:12, and many more).
That however is not the case. The struggle here is to justify mentioning the name of Muhammad in all religious duties against the wishes of Muhammad who dedicated his life to deliver and abide by the laws in the Quran.
