*40:78 We learn from 17:45-46, 18:57, and 56:79 that the unbelievers have no access to the Quran; only the believers and the sincere seekers are permitted by God to understand it. The Quran's mathematical code, ``One of the great miracles'' (74:30-35), was authorized by God, and revealed through His Messenger of the Covenant (Appendix 2).
