                        The letters Ya and Sin appear at the beginning of Surah Ya
                        Sin. The letter Sin appears 48 times in Surah Ya Sin and the
             letter Ya 237 times. The total of these letters is 285 (19 x 15).
                         Only one Sura, the seventh, begins with the initial letters
                        "Alif, Lam, Mim, Sad." The letter Alif appears in this Sura
             2,529 times, the letter Lam 1,530 times, the letter Mim 1,164 times and

             the letter Sad 97 times. These four letters thus appear a total of 2,529 +
             1,530 + 1,164 + 97 times, or 5,320 (19 x 280) times.
                        The letters Alif, Lam and Mim are the most frequently used
                        letters in Arabic. They appear together at the beginning of
             six Suras: numbers 2, 3, 29, 30, 31 and 32. The number of times these
             three letters appear in each of these six Suras is a multiple of 19. In
             order: 9,899 (19 x 521), 5,662 (19 x 298), 1,672 (19 x 88), 1,254 (19 x 66)
             and 817 (19 x 43). The total number of times all these three letters

             appear in the six Suras is 19,874 (19 x 1,046).
