Heaven and Hell

 

Praise be to God! There is no other god except God. In addition to being literal, the descriptions of Heaven and Hell throughout the Quran are also allegorical. And the Quran tells us so whenever such descriptions occur as independent statements, not within a general subject. See for example verses 2:24-26, 13:35, and 47:15. The word “Mathal” (allegory) is used in these verses. Linguistically, the word “Mathal” in these verses can be removed, and we still have perfect sentences. But it is there because the descriptions of Heaven and Hell are allegorical.

What Heaven and Hell are really like is far beyond our comprehension. Hence the need for allegory.

How can one describe, for example, the taste of chocolate to a person who   never tasted chocolate? Allegory will have to be used. The person has to wait to actually taste chocolate in order to know what chocolate tastes like. Whatever allegory we use to describe the taste of chocolate can never approximate the real thing.

Heaven already exists, since Adam and Eve were placed in it during their     days of innocence (2:35). We learn from Sura 55 that there are two “High Heavens”—one for the humans and one for the jinns—and two “Lower Heavens”—one for the humans and one for the jinns.

Hell is not created yet. It will be created on the Day of Judgment (69:17 & 89:23).

There are profound differences between the High Heaven and the Lower   Heaven. Allegorically, the High Heaven has all kinds of fruit (55:52), while the Lower Heaven has a limited variety of fruits (55:68).

Allegorically, the pure spouses readily join their spouses in the High Heaven (55:56), while the dwellers of the Lower Heaven must go fetch their spouses (55:72).

Yet, even the Lower Heaven is an incredibly fantastic prize for those who are fortunate enough to escape Hell and end up in the Lower Heaven (3:185) — going to the Lower Heaven is a great triumph. People who depart this life before reaching their 40th birthday, and did not sufficiently develop their souls, will go to the Lower Heaven (46:15). The High Heaven is reserved for those who believed, led a righteous life, and developed their souls sufficiently.

According to verse 3:185, “Whoever succeeds in barely missing Hell, and is admitted into Heaven, has attained a great triumph.”

Why Was the Quran Revealed in Arabic?

 

Praise be to God! There is no other god except God. We learn from 41:44 that the sincere believers have access to the Quran, regardless of their mother tongue. The disbelievers, on the other hand, are not permitted access to the Quran, even if they are professors of the Arabic language (17:45, 18:57, 41:44, & 56:79).

Arabic is the most efficient language in the world, especially when it comes to the precise statement of laws. Since the Quran is a Statute Book, it was crucial that such laws must be clearly stated. God chose Arabic for His Final Testament because of the obvious reason that it is the most suitable language for that purpose. Arabic is unique in its efficiency and accuracy. For example, the word “they” in English does not tell you if “they” are males or females. In Arabic there is a “they” for the males, “HUM,” and a “they” for the females, “HUNNA.” There is even a “they” for two males, “HUMAA,” and a “they” for two females, “HAATAAN.”. And the translators of the Quran end up appreciate this efficiency of the Arabic language, for example when translating verse 2:228. This verse enjoins the divorcee to give up her own wishes to divorce her husband, if she discovers that she is pregnant, and the husband wishes to reconcile—the welfare of the child takes a priority in this case. The efficiency of the Arabic language was extremely helpful in stating this law. Any other language would have made it almost impossible to point out whose wishes are to be superseded, at least not in such a few words as we see in verse 2:228.

The word “Qaalataa” of verse 28:23, for example, translates into four English words: “the two women said.” See, how efficient the Arabic language is.

Another possible reason for choosing Arabic is the fact that “He” and “She” do not necessarily imply natural gender. Thus, when God is referred to as “He,” this does not imply gender at all. God be glorified; He is neither male, nor female. The usage of “He” to refer to God in the English language, for example, has contributed to a false image of God. This was not helped by such distorted expressions as “Father” when referring to God. You never find such a reference to God in the Quran.

 

We Made the Quran Easy [54:17]

 

Praise be to God! There is no other god except God. Verse 11:1 in the Quran informs us that the Quran’s Miracle involves

  1. the superhuman mathematical design of its physical structure and
  2. the simultaneous composition of a literary work of extraordinary excellence.

One may be able to meet the numerical distribution requirements of a simple mathematical pattern. However, this is invariably accomplished at the expense of the literary quality. The simultaneous control of the literary style and the intricate mathematical distribution of individual letters throughout the Quran is evident in the fact that the Quran is made easy to memorize, understand, and enjoy. Unlike a human-made book, the Quran is enjoyable to read over and over, infinitely.

Verses 17, 22, 32 and 40 in Sura 54 repeat that the Quran was made easy to learn. As it turns out, the Quran’s Arabic text is composed in such a way as to remind the reader or the memorizer of the next correct expression, or the next verse. God created us and He knows the most efficient way for fixing literary materials into our memory. Memorization of the Quran has played a vital role in preserving the original text generation after generation at a time when written books were a rarity.

Without even realizing it, the person who memorizes the Quran is divinely helped by an intricate literary system as he utters the sounds of the Quranic words. Almost every verse in the Quran contains what we can call “Memory Bells.” Their function is to remind the reader of what comes next. This system is so vast, but let me give only two illustrative examples:

  1. In Sura 2, Verses 127, 128, and 129 end with two different names of God each. These pairs of names are “Al-Samee‘Al-‘Aleem (The Hearer, the Omniscient),” “Al-Tawwaab Al-Raheem (The Redeemer, Most Merciful)”, and “Al‘Azeez Al-Hakeem (The Almighty, Most Wise),” respectively. If this were a regular book, one would easily mismatch these six names. Not so in the Quran. Each one of these pairs is preceded in the same verse by a “Memory Bell” that reminds us of the correct pair of names. Thus, Verse 127 talks about Abraham and Ismail raising the foundations of the Ka‘abah. The verse ends with the names “Al-Samee‘ Al-‘Aleem.” The prominent sounds here are the “S,” “M,” and “ ‘Ayn.” These three letters are prominent in the word “Ismail.” We find that this word is conspicuously delayed in the sentence, while improving its literary quality. Thus, we find that the verse goes like this: “When Abraham raised the foundations of the Ka‘abah, together with Ismail …” Normally, a human writer would say, “When Abraham and Ismail raised the foundations of the Ka‘abah…” But delaying the sounds in “Ismail” brings them closer to the end of the verse, and thus reminds us that the correct names of God in this verse are “Al-Samee‘  Al-‘Aleem.” Verse 128 has the prominent word “Tubb” just before the names “Al-Tawwaab Al-Raheem.” The word “Tubb” thus serves as the memory bell. The names of God at the end of 2:129 are “Azeez, Hakeem.” The prominent sounds here are “Z” and “K.” Obviously, the memory bell in this verse is the word “Yuzak- keehim”
  1. Another good example is found in 3:176, 177, & 178, where the retribution for disbelievers is described as “ ‘Azeem (Terrible),” Aleem (Painful),” and “Muheen (Humiliating),” respectively. In a human-made book, the memorizer could easily mix up these three descriptions. But we find that each of these adjectives is preceded by powerful memory bells that prevent such a mix-up. The word “ ‘Azeem” of Verse 176 is preceded by the word “Huzzun” which is characterized by a stressed letter “Z.” This serves to remind us of the particular adjective at the end of this verse. The word “Aleem” of Verse 177 is preceded by the sound of the word “Iman” to serve as a memory bell, and the word “Muheen” of 3:178 is preceded by an abundance of “M” and “H” throughout this verse.

And there are many more similar examples.

God’s Messenger of the Covenant [3:81]

Praise be to God! There is no other god except God.

God’s Messenger of the Covenant was a consolidating messenger. His mission was to purify and unify all existing religions into one: Islam (Submission).

Islam is NOT a name; it is a description of one’s total submission and devotion to God ALONE, without idolizing Jesus, Mary, Muhammad, or the saints. Anyone who meets this criterion is a “Muslim” (Submitter). Therefore, one may be a Muslim Jew, a Muslim Christian, a Muslim Hindu, a Muslim Buddhist, or Muslim Muslim.

God’s Messenger of the Covenant delivered God’s proclamation that “The only religion approved by God is Submission” (3:19) and that “Anyone who seeks other than Submission as a religion, it will not be accepted from him/her” (3:85).

Every messenger of God was supported by incontrovertible divine signs proving that he is authorized by the Almighty to deliver His messages. Moses threw down his staff and it turned into a serpent, Jesus healed the leprous and revived the dead by God’s leave, Saaleh’s sign was the famous camel, Abraham walked out of the fire, and Muhammad’s miracle was the Quran (29:50-51).

The Quran (3:81, 33:7, 33:40) and the Bible (Malachi 3:1-3) prophesied the advent of the consolidating messenger, God’s Messenger of the Covenant. It is only befitting that a messenger with such a crucial mission was supported by the most powerful miracle (74:30-35). While the miracles of previous messengers were limited in time and place, God’s miracle which supported His Messenger of the Covenant is perpetual; it can be witnessed by anyone, at anytime, in any place.

Herein you can find physical, examinable, verifiable, and irrefutable evidence that Rashad Khalifa was God’s Messenger of the Covenant.

A Quranic Truth

One of the major prophecies in the Quran is that God’s Messenger of the Covenant was to be sent after all the prophets have come to this world, and after all of God’s scriptures have been delivered.

Verse 3:81 says, “God took a covenant from the prophets, saying, “I will give you the scripture and wisdom. Afterwards, a messenger will come to confirm all existing scriptures. You shall believe in him and support him.” He said, “Do you agree with this, and pledge to fulfill this covenant?” They said, “We agree.” He said, “You have thus borne witness, and I bear witness along with you.

Muhammad Marmaduke Pickthall translated 3:81 as follows:

When Allah made (His) covenant with the Prophets, (He said): Behold that which I have given you of the Scripture and knowledge. And afterward there will come unto you a messenger, confirming that which ye possess. Ye shall believe in him and ye shall help him. He said: Do ye agree, and will ye take up My burden (which I lay upon you) in this (matter)? They answered: We agree. He said: Then bear witness. I will be a witness with you.

We learn from Sura 33 that Muhammad was one of the prophets who made that solemn covenant with God.

Verse 33:7 says, “And when we exacted a covenant from the Prophets, and from thee (O Muhammad) and from Noah and Abraham and Moses and Jesus son of Mary, We took from them a solemn covenant.

Verse 3:81 provides the definitions of “Nabi” (Prophet) and “Rasoul” (Messenger), which is useful for this case. According to the verse, a “Nabi” is a messenger of God who delivers a new scripture, while “Rasoul” is a messenger commissioned by God to confirm existing scripture; he does not bring a new scripture. So, every “Nabi” is a “Rasoul” but not every “Rasoul” is a “Nabi”.

Not every messenger was given a new scripture. It is not logical that God will give a scripture to a prophet, then ask him to keep it exclusively for himself, as stated by some Muslim “scholars” (2:42, 146, 159). Those who are not sufficiently familiar with the Quran tend to think that Aaron was a “Nabi” as stated in 19:53, who did not receive a scripture. However, the Quran clearly states that the statute book was given specifically “to both Moses and Aaron” (21:48, 37:117).

We learn from the Quran, 33:40, that Muhammad was the last prophet   (Nabi), but not the last messenger (Rasoul):

Verse 33:40 says, Muhammad was not the father of any of your men; he was a messenger (Rasoul) of God and the last prophet (Nabi).

This crucial definition is confirmed by the Quran’s mathematical code. The expression used in 33:40, “Muhammad Khaatum Al-Nabiyyeen” (the last   prophet) has a gematrical value of 1349, 19×71, while the value of the erroneous expression “Muhammad Khaatum Al-Mursaleen” (the last messenger) is not a multiple of 19.

From time immemorial, it has been a human trait to reject a contemporary, living messenger. Joseph was declared “the last messenger” (40:34). Yet, many messengers came after him, including Moses, David, Solomon, Jesus, and Muhammad.

The Covenant Fulfilled

Although the prophets are dead, as far as this world is concerned, we know that their souls, the real persons, are now in the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve lived. Several verses enjoin us from thinking that the believers who shed     their bodies and departed this world are dead (2:154, 3:169, 4:69). Although they cannot come back to our world (23:100), they are “alive” in Paradise.

During his Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, Rashad Khalifa, in the early 1970s, Rashad Khalifa, the soul, the real person, not the body, was taken to some place in the universe where he was introduced to all the prophets as God’s Messenger of the Covenant. He was not informed of the details and true significance of this event until Ramadan 1408.

What he witnessed, in sharp consciousness, was that he was sitting still, while the prophets, one by one, came towards him, looked at his face, then nodded their heads. God showed them to him as they had looked in this world, attired in their respective mode of dress. There was an atmosphere of great awe, joy, and respect.

Except for Abraham, none of the prophets were identified to him. He knew that all the prophets were there, including Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, Aaron, David,   Noah, and the rest. He thought that the reason for revealing Abraham’s identity  was that he asked about him. He was taken aback by the strong resemblance he had with his family—himself, his father, his uncles. It was the only time that he wondered, “Who is this prophet who looks like my relatives?” The answer came: “Abraham.” No language was spoken. All communication was done mentally.

The mission of God’s Messenger of the Covenant was to confirm existing scriptures, purify them, and consolidate them into one divine message. The Quran states that such a messenger was charged with restoring God’s message to its pristine purity, to lead the righteous believers—Jews, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Sikhs, Hindus, and others—out of darkness into the light (5:19 & 65:11). He proclaimed that Islam (total submission to God) is the only religion acceptable by God (3:19).

The Proof

The name of God’s Messenger of the Covenant is mathematically coded into the Quran as “Rashad Khalifa.” This is certainly the most appropriate method of introducing God’s messenger to the world in the computer age.

  • God’s great miracle in the Quran is based on the prime number 19, and it remained hidden for 1406 years (19×74). This awesome miracle was predestined by Almighty God to be unveiled through Rashad Khalifa. Hundreds of Muslim and Orientalist scholars during the last 14 centuries have tried in vain, but none of them was permitted to decipher the significance of the Quranic Initials.
  • The Quran is made easy for the sincere believers and seekers (54:17, 22, 32, 40 & 39:28). It is an irrevocable divine law that no one is permitted access to the Quran, let alone its great miracle, unless he or she is a sincere believer who is given specific divine authorization (17:45-46, 18:57, 41:44, 56: 79). The unveiling of the Quran’s miracle through Rashad Khalifa is a major sign of his messengership.
  • The root word of the name “Rashad” is “Rashada” (to uphold the right guidance). This root word is mentioned in the Quran 19 times. Nineteen is the Quran’s common denominator
  • The word “Rashad” occurs in 40:29 & 38. The word “Khalifa” occurs in 2:30 and 38:26. The first “Khalifa” refers to a non-human “Khalifa,” namely, Satan, while the second occurrence (Sura 38), refers to a human “Khalifa.” If we  add the numbers of suras and verses of “Rashad” (40:29, 38) and “Khalifa”   (38:26) we get 40 + 29 + 38 + 38 + 26 = 171 = 19×9.
  • The sum of all sura and verse numbers where all “Rashada” and all “Khalifa” occur, without discrimination, add up to 1463, 19×77 (See table below).

  • The total of all suras and verses where the root word “Rashada” occurs is 1369, or (19×72) + 1, while the total for all occurrences of “Khalifa” is 94, (19×5)-1. The fact that “Rashada” is up by one and “Khalifa” is down by one pins down the name as “Rashad Khalifa,” and not any “Rashad” or any “Khalifa.”  
  • The gematrical value of “Rashad” is 505 and the value of “Khalifa” is 725 (Table 7, Appendix 1). If we add the value of “Rashad Khalifa” (1230) to the sura numbers, and the number of verses, from the beginning of the Quran to the first occurrence of “Rashada,” the total is 1425, 19×75.
  • If we add the numbers of all the verses in every sura, i.e., the sum of verse numbers (1 + 2 + 3 + … + n) from the beginning of the Quran to the first occurrence of the root word “Rashada,” the total comes to 17233, 19×907.
  • The Quranic Initials constitute the basic foundation of the Quran’s miracle. These initials occur in suras 2, 3, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 19, 20, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 36, 38, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 50, and 68. If we add the sum of these numbers (822) to the value of “Rashad Khalifa” (1230), the total is 2052, 19×108.
  • If we add the numbers of all suras where the root word “Rashada” occurs, plus the number of verses, we get 1368, or 19×72.
  • If we examine the suras and verses from the first occurrence of the root word “Rashada” to the word “Khalifa” in 38:26, we find that the sum of sura numbers and their numbers of verses is 4541, or 19×239.

The Only Religion Approved by God is Islam

[3:19]

 

  • The Quran specifies three messengers of Islam (Submission):

Abraham delivered all the practices of Islam. The value of his name = 258

Muhammad delivered the Quran. The value of his name = 92

Rashad delivered Islam’s proof of authenticity. The value of his name = 505

Total gematrical value of the 3 names = 855 = 19×45.

The true Judaism, Christianity, and Islam will be consolidated into one religion—complete submission and absolute devotion to God ALONE.

The existing religions, including Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are severely corrupted and will simply die out (9:33, 48:28, 61:9).

Why Verse 3:81?

  • If we add the sura numbers plus the number of verses from the beginning of the Quran to Verse 3:81, where the Messenger of the Covenant is prophesied, the total comes to 380, 19×20.
  • The gematrical value of Verse 3:81 is 13148, 19×692. This value is obtained by adding the gematrical values of every letter in the verse.
  • If we look at that portion of Verse 3:81 which refers specifically to the messenger of the Covenant: “A messenger will come to you, confirming what you have,” in Arabic:

“JAA’AKUM RASOOLUN MUSADDIQUN LEMAA MA‘AKUM”

we find that the gematrical value of this key phrase is 836, 19×44.

 

HOW TO DISTINGUISH GOD’S MESSENGER FROM A FAKE MESSENGER

The Quran provides straightforward criteria to distinguish the true messengers of God from the false messengers:

[1] God’s messenger advocates the worship of God ALONE, and the abolition of all forms of idol worship.

[2] God’s messenger never asks for a wage for himself.

[3] God’s messenger is given divine, incontrovertible proof of his messengership. Anyone who claims to be God’s messenger, and does not meet the three minimum criteria listed above is a false claimant.

 

The most important difference between God’s messenger and a fake messenger is that God’s messenger is supported by God, while the fake messenger is not:

* God’s messenger is supported by God’s invisible soldiers (3:124- 126, 9:26&40, 33:9, 37:171-173, 48:4&7, 74:31).

* God’s messenger is supported by God’s treasury (63:7-8).

* God’s messenger, as well as the believers, are guaranteed victory and dignity, in this world and forever (40:51 & 58:21).

Thus, the truthfulness of God’s messenger invariably prevails, while the falsehood of a fake messenger invariably, sooner or later, is exposed.

 

PRINCIPAL DUTIES OF GOD’S MESSENGER OF THE COVENANT

As stated in the Quran, 3:81, God’s Messenger of the Covenant was predestined to confirm all the scriptures, which were delivered by all the prophets, and restore them to their original purity.

MERCY FROM GOD [21:107]

When the believers are faced with a problem, they develop a number of possible solutions, and this invariably leads to considerable bickering, disunity, and disarray. We learn from 2:151, 3:164, and 21:107 that it is but mercy from God that He sends to us messengers to provide the final solutions to our problems. We learn from 42:51 that God sends His messengers to communicate with us, and to disseminate new information. Hence the strong injunction in 4:65, 80 to accept, without the slightest hesitation, the teachings delivered to us through God’s messengers. The following is a list of the principal duties of God’s Messenger of the Covenant:

The following is a list of the principal duties of God’s Messenger of the Covenant:

  1. Unveil and proclaim the Quran’s mathematical miracle.
  2. Expose and remove the two false verses 9:128-129 from the Quran.
  3. Explain the purpose of our lives; why we are here.
  4. Proclaim one religion for all the people, and point out and purge away all the corruptions afflicting Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
  5. Unveil the end of the world.
  6. Proclaim that those who die before the age of 40 go to Heaven
  7. Explain the Quran’s delivery to, then through Muhammad.
  8. Explain why most believers in God do not make it to Heaven.
  9. Proclaim that God never ordered Abraham to kill his son.
  10. Proclaim the secret of perfect happiness.
  11. Establish a criminal justice system.

One of the Great Miracles [74:35]

Praise be to God! There is no other god except God.

The Quran is characterized by a unique phenomenon never found in any human authored book. Every element of the Quran is mathematically composed—the suras, the verses, the words, the number of certain letters, the number of words from the same root, the number and variety of divine names, the unique spelling of certain words, the absence or deliberate alteration of certain letters within certain words, and many other elements of the Quran besides its content. There are two major facets of the Quran’s mathematical system: (1) The mathematical literary composition, and (2) The mathematical structure involving the numbers of suras and verses. Because of this comprehensive mathematical coding, the slightest distortion of the Quran’s text or physical arrangement is immediately exposed.

Simple to Understand

Impossible to Imitate

For the first time in history we have a scripture with built-in proof of divine authorship—a superhuman mathematical composition.

For example, the total occurrence of the word “God” in the Quran is 2698, or 19×142. The total sum of verse numbers for all verses containing the word “God” is 118123, also a multiple of 19 (118123 = 19×6217).

Nineteen is the common denominator throughout the Quran’s mathematical system.

This phenomenon alone suffices as incontrovertible proof that the Quran is God’s message to the world. No human beings could have kept track of 2698 occurrences of the word “God,” and the numbers of verses where they occur. This is especially impossible in view of (1) the age of ignorance during which the Quran was revealed, and (2) the fact that the suras and verses were widely separated in time and place of revelation. The chronological order of revelation was vastly different from the final format. However, the Quran’s mathematical system is not limited to the word “God;” it is extremely vast, extremely intricate, and totally comprehensive.

The Simple Facts

Like the Quran itself, the Quran’s mathematical coding ranges from the very simple, to the very complex. The Simple Facts are those observations that can be ascertained without using any tools. The complex facts require the assistance of a calculator or a computer. The following facts do not require any tools to be verified, but please remember they all refer to the original Arabic text:

  1. The first verse (1:1), known as “Basmalah” consists of 19 letters. It’s constituent words occur in the Quran consistently in multiples of 19.
  2. The first word, “Ism” (Name) occurs 19 times.
  3. The second word “Allah” (God) occurs 2698 times (19×142)
  4. The third word “Al-Rahman” (Most Gracious) occurs 57 times, 19×3
  5. The fourth word “Al-Raheem” (Most Merciful) occurs 114 times, 19×6.
  6. The Quran consists of 114 suras, which is 19 x 6.
  7. The total number of verses in the Quran is 6346, or 19 x 334. [6234 numbered verses & 112 un-numbered verses (Basmalahs) 6234 + 112 = 6346] Note that 6 + 3 + 4 + 6 = 19.
  8. The Basmalah occurs 114 times, despite its conspicuous absence from Sura 9 (it occurs twice in Sura 27) & 114 = 19 x 6.
  9. From the missing Basmalah of Sura 9 to the extra Basmalah of Sura 27, there are precisely 19 suras.
  10. It follows that the total of the sura numbers from 9 to 27 (9 +10 +11 +12 +… + 26 + 27) is 342, or 19 x 18.
  11. This total (342) also equals the number of words between the two Basmalahs of Sura 27, and 342 = 19 x 18.
  12. The famous first revelation (96:1-5) consists of 19 words.
  13. This 19-worded first revelation consists of 76 letters 19 x 4.
  14. Sura 96, first in the chronological sequence, consists of 19 verses.
  15. This first chronological sura is placed atop the last 19 suras.
  16. Sura 96 consists of 304 Arabic letters, and 304 equals 19 x 16.
  17. The last revelation (Sura 110) consists of 19 words.
  18. The first verse of the last revelation (110:1) consists of 19 letters.
  19. 14 different Arabic letters, form 14 different sets of “Quranic Initials” (such as A.L.M. of 2:1), and prefix 29 suras. These numbers add up to 14 + 14 + 29 = 57 = 19 x 3.
  20. The total of the 29 sura numbers where the Quranic Initials occur is 2 + 3 + 7 +… + 50 + 68 = 822, and 822 + 14 (14 sets of initials) equals 836, or 19 x 44.
  21. Between the first initialed sura (Sura 2) and the last initialed sura (Sura 68) there are 38 un-initialed suras. 19 x 2.
  22. Between the first and last initialed sura there are 19 sets of alternating “initialed” and “uninitialed” suras.
  23. The Quran mentions 30 different numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 19, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 99, 100, 200, 300, 1000, 2000, 3000, 5000, 50,000, & 100,000. The sum of these numbers is 162146, which equals 19×8534.

This is a condensed summary of the Simple Facts.

The Literary Mathematical Composition

The Quran is characterized by a unique phenomenon never found in any other book; 29 suras are prefixed with 14 different sets of “Quranic Initials,” consisting of one to five letters per set. The table below shows the Quranic Initials and their suras:

So, fourteen letters, half the Arabic alphabet, participate in these initials. The significance of the Quranic initials remained a divinely guarded secret for 14 centuries. The Quran states in 10:20 and 25:4-6 that its miracle, i.e., proof of divine authorship was destined to remain secret for a specific predetermined interim:

Verse 10:20 says, “They said, “Why hasn’t a miracle come down to him from his Lord?” Say, “Only God knows the future. Therefore, wait, and I will wait along with you.”

And verse 25:4-6 says, “Those who disbelieved said, “This is no more than a fabrication by him, with the help of other people.” Indeed, they uttered a blasphemy; a falsehood. Others said, “Tales from the past that he wrote down; they were dictated to him day and night.” Say, “This was sent down from the One who knows ‘the secret’ in the heavens and the earth.” Surely, He is Forgiving, Most Merciful.”

Historical Background

Back in 1968, Rashad Khalifa realized that the existing English translations of the Quran did not present the truthful message of God’s Final Testament. For example, the two most popular translators, Yusuf Ali and Marmaduke Pickthall, could not overcome their corrupted religious traditions when it came to the Quran’s great criterion in 39:45, which says,

When God ALONE is mentioned, the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter shrink with aversion. But when others are mentioned beside Him, they rejoice.”

Yusuf Ali omitted the crucial word “ALONE” from his translation, and altered the rest of the verse by inserting the word “(gods).” Thus, he utterly destroyed this most important Quranic criterion. He translated 39:45 as follows:

“When God, the One and Only, is mentioned, the hearts of those who believe not in the Hereafter are filled with disgust and horror; but when (gods) other than He are mentioned, behold, they are filled with joy.”

The expression “When God, the One and Only, is mentioned,” is not the   same as saying, “When God alone is mentioned.” One can mention “God, the One and Only,” and also mention Muhammad or Jesus, and no one will be    upset. But if “God ALONE is mentioned,” you cannot mention anyone else, and a lot of people—those who idolize Muhammad or Jesus—will be upset. Thus, Yusuf Ali could not bring himself to present the truth of the Quran, if it exposed his corrupted belief.

Marmaduke Pickthall translated “ALONE” correctly, but destroyed the criterion by inserting his personal belief in parentheses; he translated 39:45 as follows:

And when Allah alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who believe not in the Hereafter are repelled, and when those (whom they worship) beside Him are mentioned, behold! they are glad.

So, when Rashad Khlifa saw the truth of God’s word distorted like that, he decided to translate the Quran, at least for the benefit of his own children. Since he was a chemist by profession, and despite his extensive religious background—his father was a renowned Sufi leader in Egypt—he, Rashad, vowed to God that he would not move from one verse to the next unless I he understood it.

He purchased all the available books of Quranic translations and exegeses (Tafseer) that he could find, placed them on a large table, and began his translation. The first sura, The Key, was completed in a few days. The first verse in Sura 2 is “A.L.M.” The translation of this verse took four years, and coincided with the divine unveiling of “the secret,” the great mathematical Miracle of the Quran.

The books of Quranic exegeses unanimously agreed that “no one knows the meaning or significance of the Quranic Initials A.L.M., or any other initials.” So, Rashad Khalifa decided to write the Quran into the computer, analyze the whole text, and see if there were any mathematical correlations among these Quranic initials.

To test his hypothesis, he decided to look at the single-lettered Quranic Initials—“Q” (Qaaf) of Suras 42 and 50, “S” (Saad) of Suras 7, 19, and 38, and “N” (Noon) of Sura 68. As detailed in his first book MIRACLE OF THE QURAN: SIGNIFICANCE OF THE MYSTERIOUS ALPHABETS (Islamic Productions, 1973), many previous attempts to unravel the mystery had failed.

The Quranic Initial “Q” (Qaaf)

The computer data showed that the text of the only Q-initialed suras, 42 and 50, contained the same number of Q’s, 57 and 57. That was the first hint that a deliberate mathematical system might exist in the Quran.

Sura 50 is entitled “Q,” prefixed with “Q,” and the first verse reads, “Q, and the glorious Quran.” This indicated that “Q” stands for “Quran,” and the total number of Q’s in the two Q-initialed suras represents the Quran’s 114 suras  (57 + 57 = 114 = 19×6). This idea was strengthened by the fact that “the Quran” occurs in the Quran 57 times.

The Quran is described in Sura “Q” as “Majid” (glorious), and the Arabic word “Majid” has a gematrical value of 57: M (40) + J (3) + I (10) +D (4) = 57.

Sura 42 consists of 53 verses, and 42 + 53 = 95 = 19×5.

Sura 50 consists of 45 verses, and 50 + 45 = 95, same total as in Sura 42.

By counting the letter “Q” in every “Verse 19” throughout the Quran, the total count comes to 76, 19×4.

So, glimpses of the Quran’s mathematical composition began to emerge. For example, it was observed that the people who disbelieved in Lot are mentioned in 50:13 and occur in the Quran 13 times—7:80; 11:70, 74, 89; 21:74; 22:43; 26:160; 27:54, 56; 29:28; 38:13; 50:13; and 54:33. Consistently, they are referred to as

“Qawm,” with the single exception of the Q-initialed Sura 50 where they are referred to as “Ikhwaan.” Obviously, if the regular, Q-containing word “Qawm” were used, the count of the letter “Q” in Sura 50 would have become 58, and      this whole phenomenon would have disappeared. With the recognized absolute accuracy of mathematics, the alteration of a single letter destroys the system.

NuN (Noon)

This initial is unique; it occurs in one sura, 68, and the name of the letter is   spelled out as three letters—Noon Wow Noon—in the original text, and is there-     fore counted as two N’s. The total count of this letter in the N-initialed sura is 133, 19×7.

The fact that “N” is the last Quranic Initial brings out a number of special observations. For example, the number of verses from the first Quranic Initial (A.L.M. of 2:1) to the last initial (N. of 68:1) is 5263, or 19×277.

The word “God” (Allah) occurs 2641 (19×139) times between the first initial    and the last initial. Since the total occurrence of the word “God” is 2698, it follows that its occurrence outside the initials “A.L.M.” of 2:1 on one side, and the initial “N” of 68:1 on the other side, is 57, 19×3.

S (Saad)

This initial prefixes three suras, 7, 19, and 38, and the total occurrence of the letter “S” (Saad) in these three suras is 152, 19×8. See Table below:

It is noteworthy that in 7:69, the word “Bastatan” is written in some printings with a “Saad,” instead of “Seen.” This is an erroneous distortion that violates the Quran’s code. By looking at the oldest available copy of the Quran, the Tashkent Copy, it was found that the word “Bastatan” is correctly written with a “Seen” (see photocopy below).

Historical Note

The momentous discovery that “19” is the Quran’s common denominator became a reality in January 1974, which since the revelation of the Quran is 1406 lunar years, or 19×74. This is especially uncanny in view of the fact that “19” is mentioned in Sura 74.

Y.S. (Ya Seen)

These two letters prefix Sura 36. The letter “Y” occurs in this sura 237 times, while the letter “S” (Seen) occurs 48 times. The total of both letters is 285, 19×15.

It is noteworthy that the letter “Y” is written in the Quran in two forms; one          is obvious and the other is subtle. The subtle form of the letter may be confusing        to those who are not thoroughly familiar with the Arabic language. A good example is the word “Araany” which is mentioned twice in 12:36. The letter “Y” is used twice in this word, the first “Y” is subtle and the second is obvious. Sura 36 does not contain a single “Y” of the subtle type. This is a remarkable phenomenon, and one that does not normally occur in a long sura like Sura 36.

H.M. (Ha Mim)

Seven suras are prefixed with the letters “H” and “M”, Suras 40 through 46.  The total occurrence of these two letters in the seven H.M.-initialed suras is 2147, or 19×113. See table below:

Naturally, the alteration of a single letter “H” or “M” in any of the seven H.M.-initialed suras would have destroyed this intricate phenomenon.

‘A.S.Q. (‘Ayn Seen Qaf)

These initials constitute Verse 2 of Sura 42, and the total occurrence of these letters in this sura is 209, or 19×11. The letter “ ‘A” (‘Ayn) occurs 98 times, the letter “S” (Seen) occurs 54 times,  and the letter “Q” (Qaf) occurs 57   times.

A.L.M. (Alef Laam Mim)

The letters “A,” “L,” and “M” are the most frequently used letters in the Arabic language, and in the same order as we see in the Quranic Initials—“A,” then “L,” then “M.” These letters prefix six suras—2, 3, 29, 30, 31, and 32—and the total occurence of them is a multiple of 19. Herein below is the occurrence of those letters counted by Rashad Khalifa:

A.L.R. (Alef Laam Ra)

The initials A.L.R are found in Suras 10, 11, 12, 14, and 15, and they are again a multiple of 19, when you add them in all their respective suras together. Herein is the occurrence of those letters counted by Rashad Khalifa:

A.L.M.R. (Alef Laam Mim Ra)

These initials prefix one sura, No. 13, and the total frequency of occurrence of the four letters is 1482, or 19×78. The letter “A” occurs 605 times, “L” occurs 480 times, “M” occurs 260 times, and “R” occurs 137 times.

A.L.M.S. (Alef Laam Mim Saad)

Only one sura is prefixed with these initials, Sura 7, and the letter “A” occurs in this sura 2529 times, “L” occurs 1530 times, “M” occurs 1164 times, and “S” (Saad) occurs 97 times. Thus, the total occurrence of the four letters in this sura is 2529 + 1530 + 1164 + 97 = 5320 = 19×280.

An important observation here is the interlocking relationship involving the  letter “S” (Saad). This initial occurs also in Suras 19 and 38. While complementing its sister letters in Sura 7 to give a total that is divisible by 19, the frequency of this letter also complements its sister letters in Suras 19 and 38 to give a multiple of 19.

Additionally, the Quranic Initial “S” (Saad) interacts with the Quranic Initials “K.H.Y. ‘A.” (Kaaf Haa Ya ‘Ayn) in Sura 19 to give another total that is also a multiple of 19. This interlocking relationship—which is not unique to the initial “S” (Saad)—contributes to the intricacy of the Quran’s numerical code.

K.H.Y.‘A.S. (Kaaf Ha Ya ‘Ayn Saad)

This is the longest set of initials, consisting of five letters, and it occurs in one   sura, Sura 19. The letter “K” in Sura 19 occurs 137 times, “H” occurs 175 times, “Y” occurs 343 times, “ ‘A” occurs 117 times, and “S” (Saad) occurs 26 times.   Thus, the total occurrence of the five letters is 798, which is 19×42.

T.H. (Ta Ha), T.S. (Ta Seen), T.S.M. (Ta Seen Mim)

An intricate interlocking relationship links these overlapping Quranic Initials to produce a total that is also a multiple of 19. The initial “H.” is found in Suras 19 and 20. The initials “T.H.” prefix Sura 20. The initials “T.S.” are found in Sura 27, while the initials “T.S.M.” prefix its surrounding Suras 26 & 28. The frequencies of occurrence of these initials are found in the table below:

These are the only sets 0f initials which are combined in the count to produce a multiple of 19. Nevertheless, none of them give multiples of 19 individually. Almost 50 years later, Alban Fejza was destined to discover and explains why these three sets of initials (T.H., T.S., T.S.M.) are the only initials which should not give multiples of 19 when counted individually, which is given in Alban Fejza’s explanatory review of the Mathematical Miracle of the Quran.

What Is A “Gematrical Value”?

When the Quran was revealed, 14 centuries ago, the numbers known today did not exist. A universal system was used where the letters of the Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek alphabets were used as numerals. The number assigned to each letter is its “Gematrical Value.” The numerical values of the Arabic alphabet are shown in the table below:

Other Mathematical Properties of the Initialed Suras

Fourteen Arabic letters, half the Arabic alphabet, participate in the formation of 14 different sets of Quranic Initials. By adding the gematrical value of each one of these letters, plus the number of suras which are prefixed with Quranic Initials (29), we obtain a total of 722, or 19x19x2. Additionally, if we add the total gematrical value of all 14 initials, plus the number of the first sura where the initial occurs, we get a grand total of 988, 19×52. See table below for both counts:

WHY   19!

The number 19 can be looked upon as the Almighty Creator’s signature on everything He created. The number “19” possesses unique mathematical properties. For example:

  1. It is a prime number, which are the only numbers which can be used for such coding, since they are not multiples of other numbers.
  2. It encompasses the first numeral (1) and the last numeral (9), as if to proclaim God’s attribute in 57:3 as the “Alpha and the Omega.”

We now understand that the universal coding of God’s creations with the number 19 rests in the fact that it is the gematrical value of the word “ONE” (WAHD) in all the scriptural languages—Aramaic, Hebrew, and Arabic. See table below:

The number 19, therefore, proclaims the First Commandment in all the scriptures: that there is only ONE God.

The word “ONE” that refers to God occurs in the Quran 19 times. The reference to God “ALONE” occurs 5 times, and the sum of the sura and verse numbers where we find these five occurrences is 361, 19×19.

The “First Pillar of Islam” is stated in 3:18 as “LAA ELAAHA ELLA HOO” (There is no other god besides Him). This most important expression occurs in 19 suras. The first occurrence is in 2:163, and the last occurrence is in 73:9. The total of these sura numbers, plus the number of verses between the first and last occurrences, plus the sum of these verse numbers is 316502, or 19x 16658.

The Word “Quran”

The word “Quran” occurs in the Quran 58 times, with one of them, in 10:15, referring to “another Quran.” This particular occurrence, therefore, must be excluded. Thus, the frequency of occurrence of “this Quran” in the Quran is 57, or 19×3.

Two other grammatical forms of the word “Quran” occur in 12 verses. These include the word “Quranun” and the word “Quranahu.” One of these occurrences, in 13:31 refers to “another   Quran” that cause the mountains to crumble. Another occurrence, in 41:44, refers to “a non-Arabic Quran.” These two occurrences, therefore, are excluded. The table below shows a list of the suras and verses where the word “Quran” in all its grammatical forms, occurs.

A Witness From the Children of Israel [46:10]

Verse 46:10 in the Quran says, “Say: “What if it is from God, and you disbelieved in it? A witness from the Children of Israel has borne witness to a similar phenomenon, and he has believed, while you have turned too arrogant to believe. God does not guide the wicked””

The following quotation is taken from STUDIES IN JEWISH MYSTICISM, (Association for Jewish Studies, Cambridge, Mass., Joseph Dan & Frank Talmage, eds., Page 88, 1982). The quotation refers to the work of Rabbi Judah the Pious (12th Century AD):

The people [Jews] in France made it a custom to add [in the morning prayer] the words: “ ’Ashrei temimei derekh [blessed are those who walk the righteous way],” and our Rabbi, the Pious, of blessed memory, wrote that they were completely and utterly wrong. It is all gross falsehood, because there are only nineteen times that the Holy Name is mentioned [in that portion of the morning prayer]… and similarly you find the word ’Elohim nineteen times in the pericope of Ve-’elleh shemot. . . . Similarly, you find that Israel were called “sons” nineteen times, and there are many other examples. All these sets of nineteen are intricately intertwined, and they contain many secrets and esoteric meanings, which are contained in more than eight large volumes… Furthermore, in this section there are 152 (19×8) words.

 

In Defense of the Bible

 

The Bible Contains Unacceptable Contradictions Only Due to Human Interference in It

In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. More and more people are increasingly disillusioned with the Bible. They grow up learning that the Bible is the word of God, but when they study the Bible carefully, they discover that it contains too many unacceptable contradictions, too much unacceptable nonsense, and this shocks them and causes disillusionment.

A very good example can be found in the book market. In the bookstores, we find a book by Carl Sagan called “Contact,” and on page 30 of this book, we find a very good example of the contradictions, the unacceptable contradictions in the Bible. We see here that in the Gospel of Matthew, there are 28 generations between David and Jesus, but in the Gospel of Luke, we see that the number of generations from David to Jesus is 43. Now, how could this be the word of God? Does God know how many generations are between David and Jesus? The names in Matthew and in Luke are not even similar, and this destroys the credibility of the Bible as the word of God. How can we explain these contradictions?

Herein, you can see proof that the Bible is, in fact, the word of God, but these indefensible contradictions are there because they were injected by human beings. Any contradiction, any nonsense you see in the Bible is a result of human interference, distortions, and injections by wicked people or good-intentioned people. So, I will prove to you that the vast majority of the Bible is divine truth.

Examples of Contradictions

The biggest contradiction of all is the deification of Jesus Christ, making him a god against his will and against the teachings of the Bible, even. We read in Matthew 27:46 that on the cross toward mid-afternoon, Jesus cried out in a loud tone. And the Gospel of Matthew even writes the Aramaic that Jesus supposedly uttered on the cross, which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Now, this is not God speaking, saying, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” This also casts doubt and creates a serious contradiction concerning the doctrine that Jesus came here to die for our sins because if this were true, then his crucifixion would be a fulfillment of his purpose, and he would have said on the cross, “My God, my God, thank you for fulfilling my mission.” So, all these contradictions create this disillusionment in the minds of intelligent people.

In one of the printed Bibles, for example, we find the theme at the beginning, like this: “The man who hears my word, and has faith in him who sent me, possesses eternal life.” So, this verse is telling us that Jesus was sent to humanity by God, that Jesus is a messenger of God. And when we go to the Book of Revelation, the very first verse says the following: “This is the revelation God gave to Jesus Christ, that he might show his servants what must happen very soon.” This is the revelation God gave to Jesus Christ. So, here we have God giving a message to Jesus Christ in order to deliver it to the world. Jesus could not possibly be God. Jesus is a messenger of God. Many great Christians, of course, realize this serious contradiction, the deification of Jesus against his will, and study it carefully and research the subject thoroughly.

Great Christian Scholars Have Detected Many Contradictions

The book “The Myth of God Incarnate” is written by Dan Cupit, a university lecturer in divinity and dean of Emmanuel College at Cambridge; Michael Golder, staff tutor in theology in the Department of Extramural Studies at Birmingham University; John Hick, who is HG Wood Professor of Theology at Birmingham University; Leslie Holden, principal of Raiphan College in Kadhistan; Dennis Nineham, Warden of Kepley College at Oxford; Maurice Wiles, Regis Professor of Divinity and Canon of Christ Church at Oxford and chairman of the Church of England’s Doctrine Commission. And the final author here is Francis Young, lecturer in New Testament Studies at Birmingham University. The essence or the summary of the book is found on the back where it says, “For many people, the incarnation of God in Jesus Christ is the essence of Christianity. Here, a group of distinguished theologians and biblical scholars ask whether the idea of the incarnation is essential to Christianity, and they question the whole development of the doctrine. Their thesis is that Jesus was, as he is described, presented in Acts 2:21, ‘a man approved by God,’ ‘for a special role within the divine purpose.’ And the later conception of him as God incarnate, the second person of the Holy Trinity living a human life, is a mythological or poetic way of expressing his significance for us. This reinterpretation of the doctrine of the incarnation has been criticized as sensational and destructive, but the authors declare a constructive purpose. They have examined evidence from the New Testament onward with care and thoroughness and have asked their questions because they are concerned with the consequences of their findings for a full and living Christian faith for today. Their work is something that no thinking Christian can ignore.”

I assure you that we do not have enough time to give examples of the contradictions and nonsense that is found throughout the Bible, unfortunately. But you heard me state earlier that the Bible is, in fact, the word of God, the infallible word of God. And here I am talking about the original, unaltered Bible in the original language. That was the word of God. The contradictions and the nonsense have been injected into the Bible by people who deliberately or with good intentions actually distorted the words of God and created doctrines that are not in the Bible. However, the Bible, as printed today, ninety percent of it is divine truth. Unfortunately, the human race has been duped into following the ten percent of contradictions and false doctrines injected by humans into the Bible. The Bible, being the word of God, must be corrected, and God sees to it that all these contradictions and nonsense are exposed.

Jesus Disowns Those Who Idolize Him Instead of God

The biggest problem that these contradictions and nonsense create is that millions of people throw the baby with the bathwater because of these contradictions and false doctrines that have been injected into the Bible, and the nonsense that intelligent people cannot accept. These things unfortunately drive millions of people away from God and from the word of God. But we must be alerted that the Bible contains the truth from God. For example, the first commandment in the Old Testament and in the New Testament, which is called the greatest commandment, is to worship God alone, the creator of the universes, the creator who created you and me and Jesus Christ and Muhammad and Mary. It is the false doctrines that created the Trinity and the deification of Jesus Christ against his will and distorted the Bible. Ironically, the distortions and the nonsense and the false doctrines constitute a minute part of the Bible. But unfortunately, millions upon millions of people follow these minute contradictions and small false doctrines, and they leave the majority of the truth. They ignore, for example, the fact that the Bible clearly states that Jesus is not God. Millions of people ignore the clear statements throughout the Bible that Jesus is not God, and they insist on the deification of Jesus against his will. And in this way, they are being enemies of Jesus Christ, as he himself says in Matthew 7:23.

God Did Something About the Human Interference in His Bible: He Sent Down to Us a Final Message to Serve as a Standard Reference and He Coded the Final Scripture Mathematically Beyond Human Ability

Of course, God did something about the contradictions, the falsehood, the nonsense that have been injected into his word, the Bible. And what God did was to send a final edition of the scripture. This final edition is mathematically composed beyond human ability, as we can explain to you. When you examine the final message from God to you, you will be sure that every letter, every word is from God. You will be absolutely positive that there is no human interference in it. And you will see which truth in the Bible is confirmed by this final segment of the scripture. And you will see that the contradictions and the false doctrines are exposed as such. You will recognize which is the truth from God and which is the falsehood from human beings, human interference into the Bible. So this is what God did to clear the confusion, to settle the controversies, and to establish the truth in His Bible.

The Functions of God’s Final Message

So let’s summarize what this final message from God to the world does. First of all, it exposes the contradictions and the nonsense that have been injected in the Bible. The second thing, it confirms the divine truths that are found in the Bible. The majority of the Bible is divine truth. The third function of this final message from God to the world is to settle the great controversies, like the deification of Jesus, the sonship, the claimed sonship of Jesus to God. The fourth function of this final segment of God’s scripture is to confirm all previous miracles, the unusual happenings that may be unbelievable, like the parting of the Red Sea, like the fact that Jesus revived the dead and created birds from clay by God’s lead. All these things are hard to believe. So this final segment of God’s scripture, being mathematically composed and containing this physical evidence that it is from God, confirms those unusual happenings that we call miracles. Since every letter, every word in this final segment of God’s scripture is mathematically composed beyond human ability, when you read a statement saying Moses parted the Red Sea, this statement becomes proven by physical evidence. When you read in this message that Jesus revived the dead, which is something unbelievable normally, when you read that, and you know that it is a miracle, miracle by definition is an unusual happening. So when you read the statement, “Jesus revived the dead,” and you know that every letter, every word is mathematically composed beyond human ability, then this gives you physical evidence that the statement, “Jesus revived the dead,” is a proven fact. Unusual as it may be, it is God’s miracle that Jesus performed.

So, these are the four functions of God’s final scripture to the world:

  1. To expose the contradiction and nonsense and remove from the Bible
  2. Confirm the divine truths that are contained in the Bible
  3. Settle the controversies, the virgin birth of Jesus, the crucifixion of his body after his soul had departed
  4. To confirm all previous miracles, the miracles of Moses and Jesus and the unusual happenings that we see in the Bible and in the Quran.

For Ill Believers

 

Your life is sacred (6:151, 17:33, 25:68). Therefore, your health is precious. And if you are ill, as a believer, you will take active steps to cure the disease (5:32). This most likely, this means that you will visit a doctor, if you can (5:2, 39:9). Don’t wait for a miracle-cure (7:203). I show in another video why there will be no more miracles – therefore, no more miracle-cures.

I know that God is the one who heals people (26:80), but since nowadays there will be no more miracles (17:59), He does this through the certified doctors, who underwent a verification process – based on thousands of years of peer-reviewed (2:282, 5:106-107) and accumulated knowledge of scientific cooperation (5:2).

On the other hand, it is wrong, silly, and selfish to use the so called Alternative Medicine (10:89) (things like acupuncture, homeopathy, religious medicine, and reiki for example). The Quran instructs us not to use unverified information (17:36). When you go to an uncertified doctor, you are putting your hopes on the person, not on the knowledge which has been certified, and putting your hopes on the person is tantamount to idol worship (5:76).

Even if there is no cure in the established healthcare system, you still should not use the so-called Alternative Medicine, because, they will simply take your money (36:21), and not heal you. If the so-called Alternative Doctors knew how to really cure cancer, why don’t they tell the other doctors as well (2:283)? So basically, even if they are right, they are bad people. So, they are either bad people or liars. Actually, they are both, bad people and liars. A lot of them practice under the guise of religion, which makes them even worse (4:145).

For example, they will pretend that honey will cure all kinds of diseases, based on verse 16:69, which says that ‘honey is healing and food for people’. They are missing the point (17:45). Honey might be a medicine for some types of diseases like coughing, minor wound infections, but there are other medicines for other types of diseases, just like there is foods besides honey. Actually, the purpose of this verse is to point at the midway between food and medicine, by using honey as an example. Honey, therefore, is the strongest food, but the weakest medicine. Anything with a stronger healing effect than honey is classified as medicine, and anything with a smaller healing effect than honey is classified as food.

Also, some religious charlatans misuse verses which say, “…we send down with the Quran healing and mercy for the believers…” (17:82, 41:44, 10:57). Yes, there is healing sent down with the Quran for the believers (17:83, 41:44, 10:57), but they have no power to control how that healing works (6:71, 10:65, 40:3, 51:58). Even the Quran does not have healing power (51:58, 26:80), but here is how God’s system of healing works:

When God chooses a person as a believer (2:272), he offers them a choice (2:148, 2:175), to achieve paradise through His word (2:37), or achieve paradise through pain (94:5-6). So, if a person does not accept God’s word and he is a believer, he must suffer pain (24:63), – and diseases is part of pain. So, the only way for a believer to avoid pain in this world, is to accept God’s word (17:82). If you are a believer, and you do not accept God’s word, you can still go to Heaven (5:119), but you have to suffer here first. So, by default, God’s word is healing for believers (17:82).

Some people might say, I accepted God’s word now, but I am still sick. The answer to them is, “What about all those years, when you did not accept God’s word? You will have to pay for them first.”

 

Summary:

Keep religion and healthcare separate.

  • / (division)
  • = (equals)

And they apply to everything except for one case.

So, the question is:

Who is he to whom you can not add anything, or subtract anything, or multiply him, or divide him. None equals him?

The answer is: God.

And this is expressed in Sura 112 in the Quran:

 

Sura 112: Absoluteness (Al-Ikhlaas)

[112:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

[112:1] Proclaim, “He is the One and only God.

[112:2] “The Absolute God.

[112:3] “Never did He beget. Nor was He begotten.

[112:4] “None equals Him.”

For Mathematicians

 

Mathematics is the most exact science of all sciences – it is the perfect epitome of science. However, some semi-professional mathematicians have managed to introduce in the modern books of mathematics confusions which are causing problems with students when they try to understand mathematics. And there are three main issues in mathematics which need to be clarified:

  1. “IMAGINARY” NUMBERS
  2. INFINITY
  3. THE FUNDAMENTAL AXIOM OF MATHEMATICS.

By the way, especially because of the fundamental axiom of mathematics mentioned in part 3, this is the most important article in the history of mathematics. But let’s deal with the less important part first, which has to do with the so called “imaginary numbers”.

 

1: IMAGINARY NUMBERS

The so-called IMAGINARY NUMBERS are denoted with an “i” in mathematics. Whomever discovered them called them ‘imaginary’ because he thought that he was simply using a dirty trick to solve Quadratic Equations, without realizing that they really existed.

The question arises, “If they are not real, how come they always work?” As a matter of fact, let’s give examples of why the so called ‘imaginary’ numbers are just as real as the real numbers.

This ‘i’ (for ‘imaginary’) is found all over the equations of quantum mechanics which is the basis of modern physics. For example, the Schrodinger Equation has an ‘i’ in it:

Also, the Dirac Equation, has an “i” in it:

So, can you call physics imaginary, which are things which we can touch?

As a matter of fact, Paul Dirac predicted the existence of antimatter simply using this ‘i’ and guess what, today we know that antimatter does exist. It exists in small quantities in the observable universe, and it’s also being produced artificially in high energy accelerators in many labs around the world.

So, in fact, the so-called ‘imaginary’ numbers are real numbers in a perpendicular dimension, which can be a real physical hyper-dimension, like the 4th dimension and 5th dimension, as predicted by Einstein’s Theory, or all the way to the 10th dimension as predicted by String Theory).

So, the ‘i’ is not imaginary at all. It works. How can you call something which always works ‘imaginary’. Equations which deal with electricity have the so called imaginary numbers, and you can try and touch electricity and see if it’s real or imaginary. However, it’s not the mission of this article to fix the books of mathematics, so we can still use the “i” in all the books of mathematics, but the correct way to call them would be to call them “invisible numbers” instead of “imaginary numbers”, because the so called imaginary numbers are real numbers but they are invisible numbers which exist in a perpendicular direction.

In the Quran, this is expressed by verses 69:38-39, which say, “I swear by what you see, and what you do not see”

 

2: INFINITY

In many well established books of mathematics, you can find the expression:

1+2+3+4+…=-1/12

What they are saying is that if we add all the numbers from 1 all the way to infinity, we will get -1/12.

This value can be reached through the Ramanujan Summation, or the Rieman Zeta Function Regularization, or Analytical Continuation, but in fact none of these methods are pure mathematics. When we use some of these methods, which deal with divergent series, or other things which have implied infinities in them, we are assuming that we can count all the way to infinity, surpass it, come back to zero, and then and only then we would get the value -1/12, for example. But, we already know that we can not count all the way to infinity, so by using these methods, we are assuming something which is not possible. Therefore, adding all the numbers all the way to infinity does not equal to -1/12.

Mathematics is the science of counting, and if you can not count to infinity, it means that Infinity is beyond mathematics. Infinity does not bend to the rules of mathematics, but it is mathematics which bends to the rules of Infinity.

And this can be indirectly implied from many verses in the Quran:

[19:94] He has encompassed them, and has counted them one by one.

[72:28] This is to ascertain that they have delivered their Lord’s messages. He is fully aware of what they have. He has counted the numbers of all things.

[57:3] He is the Alpha and the Omega. He is the Outermost and the Innermost. He is fully aware of all things.

[78:29] We counted everything in a record.

[70:3] From GOD; Possessor of the highest Height.

[40:15] Possessor of the highest ranks, and Ruler of the whole dominion. He sends inspiration, bearing His commands, to whomever He chooses from among His servants, to warn about the Day of Summoning.

[2:15] GOD mocks them, and leads them on in their transgressions, blundering.

And really all the crazy attempts to manipulate with Infinity emerge from the fact that mathematicians do not know, or take for granted the fundamental axiom of mathematics, which is explained below.

 

3: THE FUNDAMENTAL AXIOM OF MATHEMATICS

Now, let’s get introduced to the fundamental axiom of mathematics. It can be called “THE AXIOM OF EXCLUSIVE IDENTITY”. According to this axiom, each number has an exclusive identity. For example, number 2 is exclusively 2. 3 is exclusively 3. So,

There is no other 3 except for 3.

There is no other 4 except for 4.

There is no other 5 except for 5.

There is no other 6 except for 6.

There is no other 5000 except for 5000.

Even if we write these numbers in two places, the number which was written in one place and the one which were written in another place are still the same number. It’s not two different 3s for example, but only one number 3 exists. Number 3 is the same in the other side of the world, it’s even the same outside of this universe, at another time, in another place, it doesn’t matter, it’s the same 3. That’s why when we add 3 to 4 it always gives us 7, because it’s the same 3 and the same 4. So two different 3s do not exist. So 3 is exclusively 3. It’s not 4, it’s not 5, it’s not another 3, it’s the same 3. Likewise:

There is no other 4 except for 4.

There is no other 5 except for 5.

There is no other 6 except for 6.

There is no other 5000 except for 5000.

There is no other 1,000,000 except for 1,000,000.

And there is no other Infinity except for Infinity.

So, using the Axiom of Exclusive Identity we can reach the conclusion that:

There is no other Infinity except for Infinity.

And here is why this is important. It’s important because using this axiom, when we face the problems arising from Ramanujan Summations, for example, it will be very easy to understand. Here is an example:

Let’s say we try to add the numbers 1+2+3+4+5+…+∞, and this is known to be equal to ((∞+1)*∞)/2. However, once we see that the expression suggests that there will be 1 added ∞ (infinity), then we immediately recognize that it would be another infinity which would be bigger than the previous infinity, which would suggest that there are two infinities. However, this violates the fundamental axiom of mathematics, because according to it, there can be only one infinity. So, this means that the solution to this problem does not exist. So admitting that the fundamental axiom of mathematics supersedes the other rules of mathematics, leads us to the correct conclusion. However, had we applied the rules of mathematics even in cases where they violate the fundamental axiom of mathematics, then we could get the wrong results, while not being aware that we have crossed the boundaries of what mathematics can do. So, the solution to the expression 1+2+3+4+5+…+∞ is simply beyond mathematics.

CONCLUSION:

EVERYTHING is within the scientific scope of mathematics, except for Infinity.

And it is an axiom which extends all the way to INFINITY. This is how we express it in mathematical language, but in religious language, it is expressed in the Quran in many verses like:

[57:3] He is the Alpha and the Omega. He is the Outermost and the Innermost. He is fully aware of all things.

[3:18] GOD bears witness that there is no god except He, and so do the angels and those who possess knowledge. Truthfully and equitably, He is the absolute god; there is no god but He, the Almighty, Most Wise.

 

Modest is Beautiful

 

The video above shows photo examples of women dressing modestly. They are not wearing short clothes (33:59), or tight clothes (7:22, 7:26), or see-through clothes (7:22, 7:26, 24:31), or high heels (24:31), or makeup (7:31, 2:102), and they all look beautiful (3:14).

Even more, a modest woman is happier (16:97, 19:26), more professional at work (33:59), more respectable at school (33:59), more trustworthy (70:32), smarter (7:27), more dignified (35:10), equal to men (3:195), more approachable to honest men (33:59), and really more beautiful – inside-out (7:26).

Someone who likes to jump the gun might conclude and say, “See, I told you women should wear a Hijab.” But let’s see what the Quran says about that:

These are all the verses, where the word ‘hijab’ is mentioned in the Quran – eight of them:

  • [7:46] A barrier (hijab) separates them, while the Purgatory is occupied by people who recognize each side by their looks. They will call the dwellers of Paradise: “Peace be upon you.” They did not enter (Paradise) through wishful thinking.
  • [17:45] When you read the Quran, we place between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter an invisible barrier (hijab).
  • [41:5] They said, “Our minds are made up, our ears are deaf to your message, and a barrier (hijab) separates us from you. Do what you want, and so will we.”
  • [83:15] Indeed, they will be isolated (hijab), on that day, from their Lord.
  • [42:51] No human being can communicate with GOD except through inspiration, or from behind a barrier (hijab), or by sending a messenger through whom He reveals what He wills. He is the Most High, Most Wise.
  • [38:32] He then said, “I enjoyed the material things more than I enjoyed worshiping my Lord, until the sun was gone (hijab).
  • [19:17] While a barrier (hijab) separated her (Mary) from them, we sent to her our Spirit. He went to her in the form of a human being.
  • [33:53] O you who believe, do not enter the prophet’s homes unless you are given permission to eat, nor shall you force such an invitation in any manner. If you are invited, you may enter. When you finish eating, you shall leave; do not engage him in lengthy conversations. This used to hurt the prophet, and he was too shy to tell you. But GOD does not shy away from the truth. If you have to ask his wives for something, ask them from behind a barrier (hijab). This is purer for your hearts and their hearts. You are not to hurt the messenger of GOD. You shall not marry his wives after him, for this would be a gross offense in the sight of GOD.

 So, the word ‘hijab’ according to those verses actually means ‘barrier’ and in the top 5 verses, it talks about a hijab (barrier) which separates disbelievers from God and his word, the sixth verse in the list above about sunset, the seventh verse in the list above talks specifically about Mary, and how God separated her from other men miraculously, so that we can be assured that she did not conceive Jesus through any man. Obviously, the word hijab in this verse is not necessarily talking about hijab for her head, because no one gets pregnant through their head. And, finally, the last verse in the list talks about hijab for men, and it’s only for men during the time of prophet Muhammad. So, where is the hijab for women? Well, there is no such thing as hijab for women in the Quran, but there is clothes for women, and we find them in chapter 24, verse 31. So, verse 24:31 gives the specific dress code for believing women when they are in public, and what it says is that women should cover their chest and their whole bodies except that which is necessary to be uncovered, which we see in verse 5:6 that it is necessary to wash your face, your arms up to the elbows, your head, and your feet.

This means that it is not just to expect women to cover their face, their head, their arms up to the elbows, and their feet. It’s simply not right. God does not ask them to do that, so why should we?

Also, on the other hand, the argument of philosophers who say that “clothes do not make you better” is understandable, but clothes are part of the social construct of being human (7:27), and if you are not wearing clothes, you are going below human (25:44, 5:60, 101:9). Societies which do not wear clothes like Amazon tribes and some very remote parts in Africa, have devolved into extreme poverty, disease, violence, and very often in cannibalism. It’s not really important to go into further details in this subject, but there are two key messages which are important for believing women, and those are:

  1. In public, be modest (24:31).
  2. In private with your husband, don’t be modest (30:21, 23:6, 7:32, 25:74).

 

Side note:

Hair, anywhere in your body, and nails are dead cells – no longer part of your body. There is no prohibition in the Quran to color, cut, naturally grow, or pluck them away (7:32). But modesty in public is always closer to holiness (33:33).
