RABITAT AL’ALAM AL ISLAMI, the official Arabic magazine of the Muslim World League, in its 1983 March issue carried an article titled TADWEEN AL SUNNAH by Ustad Muhammad Nizami. He quotes SUNAN ABI DAWOOD that the prophet had declared that, “Know that Qur’an and the LIKE of it (‘mithluhu’ i.e. Sunnah) was given to me.” Mr. Nizami also states the reasons for “equality (mumathalah)of sunnah with Qur’an.”
This simply amounts to the DECLARATION THAT SUNNAH IS SIMILAR TO QUR’AN. Since the written record of Sunnah is Hadith, then Hadith is LIKE Qur’an! The similarity of the two is further reinforced by the ‘facts’ (as claimed by the author). He states that Sunnah/Hadith is inspired in idea form, is used in prayers and preaching, and is ‘guidance for mankind.’ He also states that the compilers of Hadith were really ‘truthful’ scholars, and that all of them are imams!
But God has challenged the world in Qur’an: “Let them produce a Hadith LIKE IT (MITHLIHI) – i.e. like Qur’an), if they are truthful.” (52:34) History records that from the time of Rasulullah to this day the unbelieving section of humanity has never produced any hadith or book which the Muslims could use LIKE QUR’AN. But here we see an outstanding Muslim ‘Alim, representing ‘ulamadom’ of Islam DECLARING IN AN OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE ‘ULAMA THAT THEY HAVE PRODUCED SOMETHING LIKE QUR’AN; THAT THEY HAVE THE SUNNAH/HADITH WHICH IS LIKE QUR’AN!
IS THIS NOT THE SAME AS CHALLENGING GOD BACK? IS THIS NOT EQUAL TO ADMITTING THE ACCEPTANCE OF GOD’S CHALLENGE TO PRODUCE SOMETHING SIMILAR OR EQUAL TO QUR’AN? IS THIS NOT A WORD FOR WORD FULFILLMENT OF GOD’S PROPHECY?
The legality of Sunnah/Hadith cannot be claimed on the basis of verses 53:3-4: “He does not speak on his own. This is a divine inspiration.” (3) without admitting that the Prophet’s actions that led to the incidents described in 66:1, 80:1-10, 18:23, 24, 33:37, 40:66, and 93:7 were also inspired. And it is not explained at all that having inspired the Prophet to do something, then, when done, why does Allah REPRIMAND him and immortalize those incidents in Qur’an!
Ustad Nizami quotes an hadith that “in the beginning the writing of hadith was forbidden (“Do not write anything from me except Qur’an. Those who have written anything other than Qur’an shall erase it.) For the reasons that “hdith might get mixed up with Qur’an and might hinder the memorization of Qur’an.” In fact, this danger of hadith ‘getting mixed up with Qur’an existed until the final verse of Qur’an was revealed. (The Prophet died nine days after revelation of the last verse.) Any attempt at writing Hadith during that period, therefore, constitutes clear violation of the Qur’anic commandment. “You shall obey God, and you shall obey the prophet.” When Abdullah ibn ‘Amr was “allowed to write hadith” in AH 7 as he became a Muslim, Rasulullah seems contradicting himself. Also earlier Muslims do not seem to have received this special treatment. The claim that the completion of Qur’an had superceded the earlier instruction is strange; no evidence is produced to the effect that Rasulullah had cancelled it! Believing that Rasulullah had perfectly understood Qur’an including verses 52:34, 7:185, 77:50, 45:6, 4:87, 39:23, 68:44, 56:81, 12:111, and 31:6 (all against hadith and none of the 36 references on hadith supports it), it is hard to believe that he had cancelled his instruction NOT TO WRITE HADITH.
Again the Prophet was disobeyed by not making unanimous and uncontested selection of KHULAFA UR RASHIDEEN whom the Prophet had supposedly identified and nominated, according to his hadith, “Follow my sunnah and the sunnah of AL KHULAFA AL RASHIDEEN after me.” The selection of the first Khalifa was contested on the very morning Rasulullah had passed away, and this matter remains disastrously divisive until today.
On the Day of Judgment, Rasulullah will complain to Allah: “O my Lord; my people had forsaken this Quran.” (25:30) This means that he either ignores or is ignorant of Sunnah/Hadith. Either way, it is clear that he did not approve Sunnah/Hadith until his death or even after. If he had approved, as claimed by Hadith, then why should he shy away from defending it on the Day of Judgment?
Mr. Azami in his doctorate thesis on Hadith literature Studies in early Hadith literature records the following information: According to Ibn Hanbal, over 7,000,000 traditions were sound, of which 6,000,000 were memorized by Abu Zur’ah” (Ibid pg 301, 1978, American Trust Publications). If this 7 million sound hadiths were spread over 23 years and the Prophet used 18 hours a day continually to disseminate these hadiths, he must have done this at the rate of one hadith every 77 seconds! IN PRACTICAL TERMS, HE COULD NOT HAVE DONE ANYTHING ELSE!
Each compiler of hadith had collected hundreds of thousands of hadiths from which only a small fraction was accepted; e.g. Bukhari found only 7397 hadiths (mere 2602 when repetitions are eliminated) as worth recording from 600,000 hadiths he had collected. This means that by this standard of quality control nearly 99% of them were rejected and the higher the rejection rate, the more genuine the selected hadiths were!!! Yet in all other matters, we go for the Kuffar QC standards which demand the exact opposite: the lower the rejection rate, the better is the quality of the accepted items.!
Yet another ugly aspect is recorded by a “Professor of Islamic Studies” that: “The Prophet himself referred to this inner aspect of his nature as in the Hadith, ‘I am Araby without the letter ‘Ayn (that is “Rab” which means Lord). Who hath seen me, has seen God (the truth).”
(pg 89, “IDEALS AND REALITIES IN ISLAM” by Dr. Sayyed Hussein Nasr, George Allen and Unwin Ltd, London, 1966.) This must be acceptable to the ‘Ulama as none of them has ever protested in the last 19 plus years since publication of that book. But Allah strongly condemns this: “If any of them (the prophets) claims to be a god beside Allah, we shall punish him in Hell; thus we punish the wicked.” 21:29 IS THIS THE DESTINY OF OUR BELOVED PROPHET?
At least four times in Qur’an Rasulullah was commanded to follow what was revealed to him from God (6:106, 10:109, 33:2, & 75:18). At least four times he was ordered to say: I only follow what is revealed to me. (6.50, 10:15, 46:9, & 7:203) So he followed Qur’an alone. In fifty plus places Allah emphasizes that He explains His Ayaat. 25:33 says that God provides the best tafseer (explanation) of Qur’an. 75:19 says that God is the only one who will explain Qur’an. The first mufassir (interpreter) of Qur’an was Satan (7:19-21), and he has vowed to misguide us from God’s straight path (7:16-17).
Allah also declares in Qur’an that none shall abrogate His Ayaat(6:34, 6:115, & 18:27). 21:28 states that none of His prophets would contradict Him. Yet we have religious laws (based on hadith) which supercede God’s laws of 24:1-2, 6:54, 5:6, etc. Who is a better lawgiver than Allah for the sincere believers?(5:50) WHOSE TESTIMONY IS BETTER THAN ALLAH’S (6:19)
Unfortunately, a majority of Muslim’Ulama today would readily state (unbelievable as this may be) that HADITH ABROGATES QUR’AN!!!

Salat prayer is the most important practice in Islam, because it is our daily worship. This is a continuation of the on-going research into this most vital issue. Since the Arabic word SALAT is rooted in the word SILAT which means connection or contact, the best translation for SALAT is CONTACT PRAYER. This should differentiate our most important practice from the commoners statement: “I pray all day!” The statement by non-Muslims that they pray all day resulted from the erroneous translation of SALAT into “prayer.” The Muslim who prays should say, “I make contact with my Creator five times each day,”instead of saying, “I pray five times a day.”
The main objective of this article is to present further evidence that AL FATIHAH is all that is required during the standing position of the contact prayers. We must read Qur’an everyday, especially at dawn (17:78), but not during the contact prayers. Not only AL FATIHAH alone is required, but also the addition of anything else during the standing position destroys the contact between you and God.
As stated in Qur’an 2:37, God gave Adam specific wordswhereby Adam was redeemed. Similarly, God has given us specific words, namely, AL FATIHAH to utter during SALAT. You can think of AL FATIHAH as a telephone number. If you wish to call someone, you must dial the specific numbers of that person’s telephone. You cannot establish contact unless you dial those specific numbers. When contacting your Creator, you must utter the specific number of letters and sounds that God Himself has given us.
To illustrate the error in uttering other Quranic verses after AL FATIHAH, imagine yourself doing the contact prayer. You stand up facing the Qiblah, then you open the contact by raising up your hands as you say Allahu Akbar. Then you recite AL FATIHAH saying, “In the name of God, the most gracious, most merciful. Praise be to God, Lord of the universes. The most gracious, most merciful.” They you speak to God, saying, “Only You we worship; only You we ask for help.” And you continue to speak to God, saying, “Guide us in the right path. The path of those whom You blessed; not of those who incur wrath, nor the strayers.”
This should be the end of it in the standing position. But we used to utter additional Qur’an. This additional Qur’an is recognized by all imams of jurisprudence (Sunni and/or Shia) as non-obligatory. Now look carefully at what we used to say to God after AL FATIHA. We used to say things like, “INNAA A’ATAYNAKAL KAWTHAR”, which means “We have given you many bounties.”!!! Here, we tell God, as we speak to Him, “We have given You many bounties!!!” Does this make sense? We never even thought about it. We were so wrapped up in the innovations inherited from our parents, that we didn’t think about the things we were telling our Creator. We used to say things like, “QUL HUWAL LAAHU AHAD” which mean, “Say, ‘God is One.’” Here we are ordering God to state that God is one!!! We used to utter things, after AL FATIHAH like, “QUL A’UZU BI RABBIL FALAQ.” Here we were telling God to seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak!!! Thank God for leading us out of the darkness of innovatior into the light of truth; we now see the mistakes we inherited from our parents.
During the past 14 centuries traditions, customs, superstitions and innovations have crept into Islam. Gradually, these distortions came to be vested with such religious solemnity that anyone who questions them finds himself regarded as the dangerous innovator and heretic. Islam today is like a precious jewel that is buried under piles upon piles of man-made innovations. Our aim is to eliminate all distortions and present the jewel of Islam to the world.

If only when our retribution afflicted them they turned to God and implored. Instead, their minds have been hardened (inpenetrable) and the devil has adorned their works in their eyes. (6:43)
(10) When questioned about their incentives for acting out post-hypnotic suggestions, subjects believe they act on their own and make up plausible excuses for their behavior. Some say they feel compelled to act a certain way.
They commit evil then say, “We found our parents doing this; God has commanded us to do this.” Say, “God never advocates evil. Do you say about God what you do not know?” (7:28)
Those who fall into idol-worship would say, “If it were God’s will, we would not have idolized anyone, nor would our parents, nor would we prohibit anything besides God’s prohibitions.” Others before them have uttered the same utterances. Can the messengers do anything more than delivering the message? (16:35)
(11) A hypnotist can make a subject deny his own past actions.
(On the Day of Judgment,) their only pretense will be, “By God our Lord, we were never idol-worshipers!” Note how they lied to themselves, and that their own idols disown them. (6:22-24)
On the day when God resurrects them, they will swear to Him, just as they swear to you now, that they have the correct basis. Indeed, they are liars. The devil has persuaded them to neglect God’s message. They are the party of Satan, and the party of Satan are doomed. (58:18-19)
When the staff of Moses swallowed the magicians’ tricks, they had sense enough to recognize that it was a great sign from God; they immediately snapped out of hypnosis.
Throw what is in your right hand, and it will swallow everything they fabricated. What they fabricated are magicians’ tricks, and magicians can never prevail in this matter. The magicians fell prostrate, saying, “We believe in the Lord of Aaron and Moses.” (20:69-70)
The Qur’an’s miraculous mathematical code sweeps away all deceit and doubt about Qur’an as God’s complete final message to humanity. According to God Almighty Himself, it is “one of the greatest miracles” meant to put all speculation, philosophizing, and doubt to rest, and to restore Islam to its original purity.
THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST MIRACLES. A WARNING TO ALERT THE PEOPLE. BASED ON IT, YOU WILL EITHER ADVANCE, OR CHOOSE TO REGRESS. (74:35-37)
Unfortunately, the Master Hypnotist has commanded his loyal subjects to regress; to run from the Qur’an’s miraculous code and from its message. Ironically, the Qur’an has predicted that they will run from the Qur’an’s miraculous mathematical code “just like the zebras flee from the lion.” (74:49-51) Brother Kassim Ahmad, the famous Malaysian leader, accurately described the tremendous fear of the “Muslim” ulama in his outstanding review of the Miracle (ARABIA, April 1985).Obviously, the code has broken their trancelike state just enough to force them to stop and declare: “I am confused.”
… and to expose the hypocrites and disbelievers; they would say, “What did God mean by this example (the Qur’an’s 19-based mathematical code)?” God thus misleads whomever He wills and guides whomever He wills…. (74:31)
A.L.R. These (letters) constitute the miracles of this scripture; the profound Qur’an. Perhaps those who disbelieve wish to become submitters (Muslims). (15:1-2)
But they are afraid and unwilling to snap out of hypnosis. So, their master has instructed them to wage their feeble and hopeless campaign to suppress God’s miracle that proves and supports His message to the world.
They wish to put out God’s light with their mouths. However, God insists that His light shall prevail, despite the disbelievers. (9:32)
Some people argue against God without knowing it, and follow every rebellious devil. (22:3)
They know that the Code is alerting them to the fact that they have been duped by the Master Hypnotist; that they are hypnotized. And, it is pointing out that they have perpetuated false teachings. The only way to snap out of hypnotism is to disassociate yourself from the idolization of creatures like you. The idols include whatever has been designed to “supplement” Qur’an; the pristine teachings of Islam revealed to prophet Muhammad.
The messenger will declare (on the Day of Judgment), “My Lord, my people have deserted this Qur’an. (25:30)
The true followers if Islam have certain, unshakable, belief in God and the Qur’an ALONE.
THEY ARE NOT HYPNOTIZED, FOR THEY HAVE BEEN FREED BY THEIR ONLY GOD FROM THE SPELL OF THE MASTER HYPNOTIST.
The Qur’an provides the great criterion that tells us whether we are or are not under the spell of Satan:
When God ALONE is advocated, the hearts of those who do not really believe in the Hereafter shrink with aversion, but when others are mentioned besides God, they become happy. (39:45)
Satan advises his “Muslim” allies not to accept Qur’an alone. He tells them to limit the extent that they will believe everything in Qur’an. Satan instructs the humans to resist signs of God.
As soon as the human chooses NOT to uphold the word of God ALONE and worship God ALONE, the Master Hypnotist robs and strips the human of his mind. Satan even makes his followers believe that they are guided.
God guides some people while others are committed to straying. They have chosen the devils as masters, instead of God, yet they believe that they are guides. (7:30)

*** As a successful merchant, Muhammad could not possibly have been illiterate.
*** Because they were unaware of the Qur’an’s miraculous mathematical composition, Muslim religious “scholars” (‘Ulama) fabricated the illiterate story in order to explain the miracle of Qur’an and its repeated challenge to produce anything like it.
*** Muslim “scholars” who fabricated the illiterate story deliberately distorted the meaning of the Arabic word “UMMY أمي”. This word, throughout Qur’an, means only one thing: GENTILE or one who did not uphold the Torah or the Gospel. (Please look up Qur’an 2:78, 3:20, 3:75, & 62:2.)
*** Because Muhammad wrote Qur’an with his own hand, no one dared to change the unique manner in which it was written. No one dared to change the famous word “BEKKA” of 3:96 into “MEKKA”, the hometown they all knew as “Mekka”. No one dared to alter the sequence of Suras and Verses. No one dared to change the unique Qur’anic language and spellings of such words as Salat, Zakat, Hayat, etc.
*** Sister Jamilah Calloway of Raleigh, North Carolina, says: “Muhammad was a successful merchant. He had to know the numbers. However, during his lifetime, there were no numbers as we know them today; the Alphabet Letters were used as numbers. Therefore, Muhammad had to know the whole alphabet, from One to One-Thousand. MUHAMMAD HAD TO BE LITERATE.”
*** Philip Travers of Masjid Tucson says,
“You can’t count money, if you don’t know how to count.”

*** Some Muslim “scholars” misrepresent Verse 48 of Sura 29 as referring to the Prophet’s illiteracy. However, this Verse refers specifically to the Prophet’s inexperience with previous scriptures, a fact that is repeated throughout Qur’an, and has nothing to do with illiteracy.
*** Those Muslims “scholars” seem to forget that the first word revealed in Qur’an was READ, the whole first revelation dealt with READING & WRITING, and that the second revelation was entitled THE PEN. Please see 96:1, 3, & 4 and 68:1.

Why does man deny God’s profound signs within himself and throughout creation? Why did early peoples deny the miracles God sent to them? Why do most Muslims prefer innovations, conjecture, opinion, and tradition over the sure guidance of Qur’an? Why have Muslim religious leaders attempted to ignore and belittle the irrefutable miraculous code discovered in Qur’an? Why have Muslim religious leaders made such absurd claims as “the Qur’an does not contain 114 chapters,” and “the Basmala does not consist of 19 letters?”
The answer is: THE MAJORITY OF HUMANITY HAS GIVEN ITSELF OVER TO SATAN, THE MASTER HYPNOTIST.
In keeping with his plan to crush all doubt in the hearts of sincere believers, God has made this answer even more overwhelmingly clear. God granted Satan power to hypnotize the descendants of Adam who choose Satan’s point of view, namely, that “God alone is not enough.” This power is given to Satan under one crucial condition:
ANYONE SHALL SNAP OUT OF THE HYPNOTIC TRANCE UPON DECIDING TO WORSHIP GOD ALONE. Such freedom of decision shall be preserved under all circumstances.
The Master Hypnotist’s effectiveness lies in the fact that the majority of humans have chosen to remain under his domination and control.
Satan said, “My Lord, since it is Your will that I go astray, I will surely ENTICE them on earth and will surely mislead them all; only Your servants who are COMPLETELY DEVOTED TO YOU (shall escape my spell). God said, “This is My irrevocable law: you will have no power over My servants; ONLY THE STRAYERS SHALL FALL UNDER YOUR SPELL.” (15:39-42)
Satan advises his “Muslim” allies not to accept Qur’an alone. He tells them to limit the extent that they will believe everything in Qur’an. Satan instructs the humans to resists signs of God.
As soon as the human chooses NOT to uphold the word of God ALONE and worship God ALONE, the Master Hypnotist robs and strips the human of his mind. Satan even makes his followers believe that they are guided.
God guides some people while others are committed to straying. They have chosen the devils as masters, instead of God, yet they believe that they are guided. (7:30)
Hypnosis is a trancelike condition characterized by an altered state of consciousness, diminished will power, and an increased responsiveness to suggestion. People differ in their suggestibility to hypnosis. A person cannot be hypnotized against his will; he must obey the suggestions of a hypnotist. Hypnosis has been employed to help people with physical and psychological diseases, as well as for harmful purposes. The effective hypnotist is skilled in gaining the confidence of his clients. He knows that ‘It takes two’ the client and himself, to produce the desired effects. Our concern here is with the Master Hypnotist who misleads humanity en masse. The Master Hypnotist also gains the trust of his subjects. But, unlike human hypnotists, he is invisible!
Satan and his tribe can see you while YOU DO NOT SEE THEM. We have assigned the devils as companions to those who refuse to believe. (7:27)
Satan meets the qualifications of a hypnotist because he knows when and how to make his suggestions, according to a person’s mind, character, desires, and habits. He has considerable knowledge of human nature, and he has thoroughly succeeded in rendering millions of humans unable to use their minds.
(Satan said,) “I will come to them from their front, and from behind them, and from their right, and from their left. Consequently, You will find most of them unappreciative.” (7:17)
People who are unappreciative of God are hypnotized by Satan without their knowledge. Countless millions of people say, “I believe in God,” when in fact their hearts do not mean it. Their utterance is no more than lip service to go along with parents, friends, or the society at large. Whenever they have opportunities to break away from deception and doubt, they cling to fabricated falsehoods. This leaves them susceptible to Satan’s hypnosis. For the Master Hypnotist is given access to the person’s true intentions and innermost beliefs, not outward appearances and lip-service utterances.
By going against their God-given instinct to worship God ALONE and uphold His word ALONE (please see Qur’an 7:172), people enable the Master Hypnotist to set them up for self-destruction behind an INVISIBLE BARRIER.
Some followers of previous scriptures may wish to mislead you, but they only mislead themselves WITHOUT PERCEIVING. (3:69)
(The idol-worshipers) divert others from Qur’an, as they themselves stay away from it. Thus, they only destroy themselves WITHOUT PERCEIVING. (6:26).
As for those who reject our revelations, We will lead them on WITHOUT THEM EVER PERCEIVING. I will even encourage them; indeed, My scheming is formidable. (7:182-183)
Satan gradually instills his suggestions into the minds of his subjects; ideas counter to the worship of God ALONE. Satan hypnotizes his subjects into doing anything that reflects disbelief, idol–worship, or hypocrisy.
The devil says to the humans, “Disbelieve,” then, will they do disbelieve, he says, “I disown you. I fear God, Lord of the universe.” (59:16)
A trained hypnotist slowly infuses his directives into the subject’s mind because this ‘drop by drop’ approach helps the subject understand instructions. But, in Satan’s case, it is a matter of making a person feel at home with negative prompting. God protects His sincere servants from the Master Hypnotist’s obvious and subtle attempts to hypnotize them.
You shall say, “I seek refuge in You, my Lord, from the devils’ suggestions. I seek refuge in You, my Lord, lest they approach me.” (23:97-98)
Hypnotized people, those who fail to devote their worship to God ALONE and uphold His word ALONE, exhibit unusual behavior because they are completely out of touch with their own minds. They have submitted their mind and their will to Satan by setting up the words of men to rank with the word of God; they have set up their scholars and religious leaders as gods beside God (please see 9:109). They lose all contact with reality except through Satan’s suggestions. It is a common phenomenon that we show someone clear Qur’anic assertions that Qur’an is “complete, perfect, fully detailed, and shall be the sole source of religious guidance”, only to discover that the person is totally helpless; unable to see or accept such Qur’anic truths.
When told, “You shall follow these revelations of God,” they say, “No, we shall follow what we found our parents doing.” (2:170 & 31:21)
It is now obvious that such persons have submitted themselves to Satan, the Master Hypnotist, and that he fully controls their minds, their eyes, and their hearing. Thus, they cannot think, see, or hear anything on their own. The Qur’an explains this strange phenomenon very clearly in 17:45 and 18:57. The invisible barrier mentioned in 17:45 is the hypnosis inflicted upon those who refuse to believe Qur’an and submit to its truths.
Shown below are eleven descriptions of persons under hypnosis (Hollander, B. “History and results of hypnotism.” In search of the soul. New York: E. P. Dutton & Co., 281 – 296).
After each general description of a person’s behavior under hypnosis, I will present specific examples of disbelievers’ identical behavior in Qur’an.
(1) The subject readily accepts the hypnotist’s suggestions as fact or reality. He neither questions them nor the hypnotist.
If you obey the majority of people on earth, they will lead you away from the path of God. For they follow only conjecture (presented to them as doctrine), and they only guess. (6:116)
(2) The subject has his own system of beliefs and ideas that fit the desires of the hypnotist.
We have appointed for every prophet enemies from among the human devils and jinn devils who invent lies made up of fancy words, and narrate them to each other, in order to deceive. Had your Lord willed, they would not have done it. You shall disregard them and their fabrications. (This is God’s will) in order that the minds of those who do not really believe in the Hereafter may listen thereto, readily accept such fabrications, and thus expose their true intentions. (6:112-113)
(3) The subject can be made to forget his own identity, specific experiences, and whole periods of life.
Do not be like those who forgot God, so He let them forget their own selves. They are the wicked ones. (59:19)
(4) The subject can be made to believe he experienced something that he never really experienced ot that never actually occurred.
Do not be like those who say, “We hear,” while they really do not.Indeed, the worst creatures in the sight of God are the deaf and dumb, who possess no common sense. (8:21-22)
(5) The subject may make false interpretations based on false premises conjured up in the hypnotic state. Outside efforts to correct his perceptions are useless as long as he is under hypnotic suggestion.
We control their minds and their visions as a consequence of their initial decision to disbelieve, and we keep them in their transgression blundering. (6:110)
Some of them may listen to you; but, can you make the deaf hear?They would never understand. Some of them may look at you; but, can you make the blind see? They would never see. (10:42-43)
(6) A hypnotized person can be made to think a real experience is a delusion.
We fully control the minds of the guilty. This is why they can never believe in this (Qur’an); just like their counterparts in previous generations. Even if we open up for them a gate into the heavens, through which they actually climb, they would say, “Our eyes are dazed. This is an illusion. We have been duped by magic.” (15:12-15)
(7) Through suggestion, the hypnotist can influence and make the subject’s senses cease to function normally. For example, a person with excellent vision can be told that he is blind, and he will be unable to see. This is like the INVISIBLE BARRIER PLACED BETWEEN THE DISBELIEVERS’ MINDS AND THE MOST OBVIOUS TRUTHS.
Multitudes of humans and jinns are destined for Hell. They are the ones who have minds that do not understand, eyes that do not see, and ears that do not hear. They are like animals; in fact, they are worse; they are totally unaware. (7:179)
(8) A hypnotized person can be active, responsive, and fully involved with an idea. However, the hypnotist can command the person to be nonreceptive to the real meaning of specific things. The Master Hypnotist commands some of his subjects to pretend that they sincerely accept God’s guidance in Qur’an, while they really do the exact opposite.
Some of them appear to be listening to you, but when they leave they ask, “What did he say?” God has sealed their minds and thus, they follow their own opinion. (47:16)
(9) A subject can be led to inflict pain on himself without feeling it; he can also become insensitive to any pre-existing pain. The Master Hypnotist dupes his victims into dismissing misfortune as “signs of piety” instead of tests and/or reminders to worship God ALONE. In keeping with their free choice, he also makes them blind to the severe spiritual injury they inflict upon themselves by rejecting God’s assertions that Qur’an is “complete,” “perfect,” and “fully detailed” (6:19, 38, & 114).

The pattern and curricula of the existing religious educational institutions were devised during a phase of decadence in Islamic society and since then there has been little revision. Knowledge in these institutions is frozen and fossilized, and has become entirely irrelevant to the needs of contemporary society. They were made by the men of an age for the requirements of that age. Their interpretation of Koran and the Sunnah was their own; it was not Divine, nor eternal, nor unchangeable. And now, although most of the teaching has become obsolete, it is regarded as sacred and immutable and goes under the name of real Islam, and real knowledge. It is this reluctance to learn, to reform, and to understand Islam in relation to the changing needs of social order and compulsions of history, that is the real cause of ignorance in Muslim society today.
The maintenance of the status quo, the continuance of the feudal system, the theological hold on the masses and the superstitious, dogmatic approach to religion, have all provided very strong support for the advancement and assertion of ignorance.
The greatest calamity is that qualified, competent and sincere scholars are discredited and maligned as enemies of Islam, and every effort is made to muffle and repress them, depriving them even of the right to live. New ideas and new thoughts can come only from such men, but they are looked upon with suspicion and distrust. Hence, Muslim society now suffers from intellectual stagnation. The greatest appeal in the Koran is the intellectual appeal. God has asked men again and again to think and ponder over. His signs (ayat), commandments and wisdom. Finally, we should remember that Islam is a world religion. Its message is addressed to the whole of mankind. The responsibility of carrying this message to other men lies primarily with the present believers. But when these believers are themselves steeped in ignorance how can they lead others to knowledge? Islam is knowledge itself, and not ignorance, for God says: ‘But it is clear revelations in the hearts of those who have been given knowledge, and none deny our revelation save wrongdoers [29:49]

What will Iran gain when they “win the war”?
What will Iraq gain when they “win the war”?
God gave the Muslim peoples of Iran & Iraq immense wealth, oil: enough wealth to make them the most prosperous people on earth.
What did Iran & Iraq do with God’s gift?
They gave it away to the Jews & Christians in France, England & USA.
They used God’s gift to acquire death, devastation, poverty, and misery.
Is it any clearer now that the Muslims’ eternal happiness, prosperity, and salvation can ONLY be attained by uniting behind Qur’an, the whole Qur’an, and nothing but Qur’an?

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) – Iran said yesterday its force swept across the southern tip of Iraq near the Kuwaiti border on the second day of its new offensive, and both nations reported killing thousands of enemy soldiers.
Kuwait called on all Arab nations to join in defending Iraq. Although both warring nations are Moslem, Iran’s people are Persian and Iraq’s are Arabic.
Iran’s Islamic Republic News Agency, monitored in Nicosia, said 5,000 Iraqis were killed or wounded and 1,100 captured since the Iranian offensive began Sunday night. It said 10 Iraqi planes were shot down yesterday and told of pushing across south Iraq.
For its part, Iraq said more than 1,900 Iranians were killed in Iraq’s 3rd Army Corps sector of the 730-mile front and that “countless thousands” more died in other areas.

The above are two versions of the same Hadith as printed in SAHIH BUKHARY, the most authoritative source of Hadith. These two hadiths narrate the story of people who went to the Prophet and wanted to embrace Islam. According to the Hadith, the Prophet ordered them to go to his flock of camel and/or sheep and drink from their urine and milk (!!!). By the time these people reached the animals, they apparently changed their mind and rebelled against the Prophet’s shepherd, killing him. The Prophet then sent his men after them, captured them, then heated nails whereby the Prophet gouged their eyes, then cut their hands and feet, and threw them into the desert heat. According to Hadith, they kept asking for water, but “the Prophet would not give them water, until they died in the heat of the desert.”
The blasphemy against the Prophet is flagrant. For Qur’an, the infallible word of God, states that God Himself has placed mercy and compassion in the Prophet’s heart (3:159). The truth, therefore, is that Hadith and Sunna are Satan’s means of destroying Islam by blaspheming against God and His final Prophet Muhammad. |
Scientific revolutions are very interesting. The way they happen is that most people deny them and resist them. And then there’s more and more of an explosion, and there’s a paradigm shift.
