Their state's establishment is mentioned in His saying: "And when the appointed time comes, they will surely know. And when the appointed time comes, they will not delay an hour, nor will they hasten it." (Al-A'raf 7:97-98) The second corruption is: - 1; 2; 4; 19; 38; 76. If we search in Surah Al-Isra for verses whose word count is a multiple of 76, we will find the following: 1. There are only four verses in Surah Al-Isra whose word count is a multiple of 76, and they are, in order: a. Verse 46, and we read in it: "And when you recite the Quran, We place between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter a hidden veil. And We place over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And when you mention your Lord alone in the Quran, they turn their backs in aversion." (46) b. Verse 47, and we read in it: "We know best what they listen to when they listen to you, until when they come to you arguing, those who disbelieve say, 'These are but tales of the former peoples.'" (47) c. Verse 64, and we read in it: "And incite whomever you can among them with your voice and assault them with your cavalry and your infantry, and share with them in wealth and children, and promise them." But Satan promises them nothing but delusion. (64) d. Verse 88, and we read in it: "Say, 'If all mankind and jinn were to gather to produce the like of this Quran, they would not produce the like of it, even if they were to each other assistants.'" (88) 2. These four verses share the fact that the word count of each verse is 19 words, which is the fourth multiple of 76.

3. The product of the number of these verses and the word count of each verse is: 4 x 19 = 76.

4. There is a wondrous connection between the meanings of these four verses. The first speaks of Allah placing on the hearts of many of His servants a seal that prevents them from understanding the great signs of His word, including the numerical signs. The second speaks of the refusal of many people to accept the truth when Allah presents these numerical signs to His book.
