=== Verses said to predict his prophethood === | |||
Rashad Khalifa believed certain verses in the Quran implied his status as the true final messenger of [[Islam]], rather than [[Muhammad]]. Rashad Khalifa produced his own translation of the Quran where these verse were interpolated with direct reference to himself. The quotations listed below are taken from Rashad Khalifa's translated edition of the Quran. | |||

=== | ===Verses deleted due to numerical error=== | ||
Two verses in the Quran, according to Khalifa, were erroneous and not part of the Quran because they did not meet the mathematical criteria of the miracle of 19, as he had delineated it. Khalifa therefore removed these two verses from his translated edition of the Quran. | |||
