What the investigation established

The Quran has an Author beyond the human: the Creator of all that exists

The four volumes of Beyond Human Design established three findings, each beyond reasonable doubt. That is the standard the volumes set for themselves.

• The Quran is not the work of any human being. Volume I: The Quran’s Hidden Architecture measured the Quran’s structure. On the most cautious readings of five counted witnesses, the probability that the Quran is the product of human effort alone is 1 in 10⁷⁵.

  What 1 in 10⁷⁵ means. The observable universe holds about 10⁸⁰ atoms. Odds of 1 in 10⁷⁵ are the odds of picking one marked atom, at the first attempt, from a hundred-thousandth part of the universe.

  Volume II: The Googol Verdict reached the same verdict without arithmetic, through twenty-two further witnesses.
• Its Author is the Creator. The Author the evidence points to matches the Author the Quran names for itself: Allah, the Creator of all that exists.
• The Quran describes the physical world as only its Creator could. Volume III: The Creator’s Signature on the World He Made examines seventy of the Quran’s statements about the physical world, across fourteen fields of science.

Volume IV: Knowing the Creator sets out what the Creator has said in the Quran about Himself and about us. Twelve further books build on this foundation, or reach it again by separate roads. The Authentication Test, The Origination Map, The Common Source, The Network of Truth and The Zakat Theorem each arrive where the four volumes arrived.

Separate roads, one destination.

Why it matters to everyone

Four questions every person asks, answered as one chain

Is there a God? Why are we here? What happens when we die? Does it matter how we live? Each answer shapes the next. Everything turns on the first question, and the first question is the one most open to direct evidence. Once the evidence shows that the Quran comes from the Creator, the Quran’s answers to the other three questions carry His authority.

The method

A fraud examiner’s question: is this what it claims to be?

For forty years Abdul Zahir Sheikh asked one question of documents, accounts and witnesses. Beyond Human Design asks it of a scripture. Five disciplines run through every book.

1. The rules come before the evidence. Each instrument and standard of proof is fixed before any exhibit is entered.
2. The opposing case is put first. At full strength, with its best scholars named.
3. Every book names the test it stands open to. A specific, checkable finding that would change its verdict. Every pillar has held.
4. Every source can be checked. Published studies, named datasets, printed code and dated documents.
5. The decision is left with the reader. Each book closes by handing the verdict to the reader.
