The number 19 is only mentioned once in the Qurân, in the verse
30 of chapter 74, "THE COVERED" ‏,(المدّثّر)‏ in the context of a
counting ( Σ idatuhum, ‏(عدتهم which has a particular and precise
function, described in the verse 31 of the same chapter.
"On it nineteen 30 And We have not Made the companions of the
fire except angels (possessors); and We have Made their counting
only as a subversion for those who denigrated – in order ‏(عد تهم)‏
that those to whom the writing (book) was Reported may arrive at
certainty and those who assured (believed) may increase in
assurance (faith, belief) and that those to whom the writing
(book) was Reported and the assurers (believers) may not
hesitate; and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the
denigrators may say: ‘What did God Mean by this example?’
Thus, God Leads astray whom He Wills and Guides whom He
Wills; and none Knows the Militants of Your Master except Him;
and this is no other than a rememoration for the person 31"
On the reading of the verses 30 and 31 of chapter 74, it is at first
difficult to imagine how a counting might increase the rebellion of
some whereas it enhances the faith of others. Unless this counting
is a key, which would enable "those to whom the writing (book)
was Reported" 1 ( ‏(الذين to discover facts that have
remained concealed up to now. This is exactly what I hope to
elucidate in this study.

The comparison of the way of drawing digits in the Arabic 2 script
and the Latin 3 script, which is internationally used, highlights the
fact that only two digits are spelled nearly in the same way, the 1
and the 9:
1 In chapter 74, verse 31.
2 In fact, Indian.
3 In fact, Arabic.
