Preface
After
more than 12 years of computerized research of Quran, PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
was discovered proving that Quran is indeed the infallible word of God.
This discovery became very popular among the Muslim masses throughout
the world, and summaries of the work were printed and distributed by the
millions. My personal popularity soared along with this most exciting,
and most humbling, discovery.
The continued research then unveiled
a startling fact; that the extremely popular "Hadith & Sunna" have
nothing to do with the prophet Muhammad, and that adherence thereto
represents flagrant disobedience of God and His final prophet (Quran
6:112 & 25:31).
This finding contradicts the beliefs of Muslim
masses everywhere. Consequently, my personal popularity, and even the
popularity of the Quran's miracle, plunged to the point of endangering
my life and reputation. As it turned out, telling the Muslims that
"Hadith & Sunna" are Satanic inventions is the same as telling the
Christians that Jesus is not the son of God.
Since the recognition
of "Hadith & Sunna" as Satanic innovations is supported by PHYSICAL
EVIDENCE, all freethinking people will accept the findings reported in
this book. For such people, the results include a totally new sense of
salvation, and full awareness that the Muslim masses have fallen victim
to Satan's schemes.

NO SALVATION WITHOUT OBEYING THE MESSENGER |
"Say
(O Muhammad), 'If you love God, then follow me. God will then love you,
and forgive your sins; God is forgiver, merciful.' Say, 'Obey God and
the messenger.' If they turn away, then God loves not the disbelievers."
(3:31-32)
"You shall observe Salat & Zakat, and obey the messenger, that you may attain mercy." (24:56)
"Anyone who disobeys God and His messenger will abide in the fire of hell forever." (72:23)
Since
all the messengers delivered one and the same message, namely, "YOU
SHALL NOT WORSHIP EXCEPT GOD," disobeying them constitutes disbelief, or
idolworship.
WHEN DELIVERING GOD'S MESSAGES,
messengers do not speak on their own initiative. |
"A
prophet like me, will the Lord, your God, raise up for you from among
your own kinsmen; to him you shall listen." (Moses in Deuteronomy 18:15)
"I
will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their kinsmen, and
will put my words into his mouth; he shall tell them all that I command
him. If any man will not listen to my words which he speaks in my name,
I myself will make him answer for it." (Deuteronomy 18:18-19)
"Do
you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? The
words that I say to you I do not speak on my own initiative, but the
Father abiding in me does His works." (Gospel of John 14:10)
"But
when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the
truth; for he will not speak on his own initiative, but whatever he
hears, he will speak; and he will disclose to you what is to come."
(John 16:13)
"Obeying the Messenger is obeying God." (Quran 4:80)
"and he (Muhammad) does not speak on his own initiative." (53:3)
MUHAMMAD REPRESENTED BY QURAN ALONE |
"We
sent down to you THIS BOOK truthfully, confirming all previous
scriptures, and superseding them. You shall judge among them according
to what is sent down from God (this book), and do not follow their
wishes if they deviate from the truth.... You shall judge among them
according to what is send down from God (this book); do not follow their
wishes, and BEWARE lest they divert you from that which is sent down to
you from God (this book).... Would they seek the laws of ignorance? WHO
IS BETTER THAN GOD as a lawmaker, for those who sincerely believe?"
(Quran 5:48-50)
MUHAMMAD FORBIDDEN FROM UTTERING ANY RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTIONS OTHER THAN QURAN
"This
(Quran) is the utterance of an honorable messenger. It is not the
utterance of a poet; rarely do you believe. Nor is it the utterance of a
soothsayer; rarely do you take heed. A revelation from the Lord of the
universe. HAD HE EVER UTTERED ANY OTHER RELIGIOUS UTTERANCES (attributed
to us), we would have punished him severely, then we would have stopped
the revelation to him (fired him). None of you could have protected him
against us." (69:40-47)
These very clear verses teach us
that Muhammad was forbidden from uttering any religious teachings beside
Quran. The strength of the Arabic text cannot be fully translated to
English. But the powerful expressions leave no doubt whatsoever that the
Prophet's sole function was to "DELIVER" Quran, the whole Quran, and
NOTHING but Quran.
MUHAMMAD ORDERED NEVER TO DEVIATE FROM QURAN. DEVIATION MEANT SEVERE PUNISHMENT
"They
almost diverted you (O Muhammad) from our revelations to you; they
wanted you to fabricate something else to consider you a friend. If it
were not that we strengthened you, you almost leaned towards them a
little bit. Had you done it, we would have doubled the punishment for
you in this life, and after death; no one could have protected you
against us." (17:73-75)
In setting the example for us, the
Prophet was ordered to adhere strictly to God's revelations to him,
specifically identified in 5:48-50 (Page 3) as Quran.
The slightest deviation from Quran (see verse 74 above) incurs severe retribution.
Muhammad ordered to deliver QURAN ALONE, without the least alteration, and never to "fabricate" anything else:
"When
our verses are recited for them, those who do not expect to meet us
would say, 'Bring a Quran other than this, or change it.' Say (O
Muhammad), 'I cannot change it on my own initiative. I simply follow
what is revealed to me. I fear, if I disobey my Lord, the retribution of
a terrible day.' ...Who is more wicked than one who invents lies about
God, or rejects His revelations? The guilty never succeed. Yet, they
idolize beside God those who possess no power to harm them or benefit
them, and say, 'These are our intercessors with God.' ...such is
idolworship." (10:1518)
Our Almighty Creator commands that QURAN, specifically QURAN, SHALL BE THE ONLY SOURCE of religious teachings.
Furthermore,
we are told that THE ACCEPTANCE OF ANY OTHER SOURCES for religious
guidance equals the setting up of OTHER GODS BESIDE GOD:
"Say
(O Muhammad), 'Whose testimony is greater?' Say, 'God is the witness
between me and you that THIS QURAN was given to me to preach it to you,
and to whomever it reaches.' However, you certainly bear witness that
you set up other gods beside God (by upholding other sources beside
Quran). Say, 'I will never do what you are doing; I disown your
idolworship.'" (6:19)
This profound verse, which happens to
be verse [19] of Sura 6, enjoins the believers from upholding or
following ANY OTHER SOURCE BESIDE QURAN, and that doing this is
equivalent to the setting up of other gods beside God.
ONE GOD / ONE SOURCE
In the strictest possible language, we are commanded to uphold Quran, the whole Quran, and nothing but Quran.
Repeatedly, we are commanded to uphold Quran as the ONLY SOURCE OF RELIGIOUS GUIDANCE.
Again
and again, we are reminded that the following of ANY OTHER SOURCE
BESIDE QURAN EQUALS THE SETTING UP OF OTHER GODS BESIDE GOD.
Verses
22 through 38 of Sura 17 represent some of the most important
commandments in Quran. Immediately following these verses we find the
verse shown below:
"This is some of the wisdom revealed to you (in
this Quran), and YOU SHALL NOT SET UP ANY OTHER GOD BESIDE GOD (by
following any other source beside Quran). Otherwise, you will be thrown
into hell, blamed and debased." (17:39)
Despite all these
clear commandments and extremely strict injunctions, why do the
followers of Hadith & Sunna fail to uphold the Quran alone? See the
answer on Page 9.
QURAN: AN EXTRAORDINARY BOOK |
Despite the clear commandments, why do the followers of Hadith & Sunna fail to uphold Quran ALONE?
The
answer is provided in the same Sura following the commandment shown on
Page 8. Verses 45 and 46 of Sura 17 inform us that those who refuse to
believe God and heed His commandment to uphold Quran ALONE are
deliberately isolated from Quran. These two crucial verses are shown
below:
"When you read the Quran, we place between you and those
who do not believe in the Hereafter an invisible barrier. And we place
shields on their hearts, to prevent them from understanding Quran, and
deafness in their ears. Consequently, when you preach your Lord IN THE
QURAN ALONE they run away in aversion." (17:4546)
WHAT MORE CAN WE SAY ??
DO YOU BELIEVE GOD OR NOT?
God says that Quran is COMPLETE, PERFECT, & FULLY DETAILED, and that you shall not seek any other source:
"We
did not leave anything out of this book, then all will be gathered
before their Lord (for judgment). Those who do not believe our verses
are deaf and dumb; in total darkness. God sends astray whomever He
wills, and directs whomever He wills in the right path." (6:38-39)
"Shall I seek other than God as a source of law, when He revealed THIS BOOK FULLY DETAILED? (6:114)
"The word of your Lord is COMPLETE in truth & justice." (6:115)
THE CONSEQUENCE OF NOT BELIEVING GOD
As shown on Page 10, God says that Quran is COMPLETE, PERFECT, AND FULLY DETAILED.
His
commandments are clear and strict that YOU SHALL NOT UPHOLD ANYTHING
ELSE BESIDE QURAN as a source of religious guidance (see pages 7 &
8).
Now, you have the total freedom to decide to believe God, or
to reject His statements, and ignore His commandments, provided you are
willing (or unwilling) to accept the consequences.
You agree, no
doubt, that refusing to believe God is a very serious offense. Just how
serious is expressed in verse 40 of Sura 7:
"Surely, those who do
not believe our revelations, and are too arrogant to heed them, the
gates of the sky never open for them, nor will they ever enter Paradise
until the camel passes through the needle's eye. We thus requite the
guilty." (7:40)
Thus, it is A PHYSICAL IMPOSSIBILITY for those who refuse to believe God to enter Paradise.
IMPORTANT CRITERION OF DIVINE REVELATION
Some
people claim that the "Hadith & Sunna" are divine revelations.
Obviously, they are not aware that the criterion of divine revelation is
PERFECT PRESERVATION. Since the socalled hadith & sunna of the
Prophet have been vastly corrupted, they can never meet the criterion of
divine revelation. It is an acknowledged fact that the vast majority of
Hadiths are false fabrications.
"We have sent down the revelation, and we will surely preserve it." (15:9)
"Indeed,
this is an honorable scripture. Falsehood could never enter it in the
past, present, or future; a revelation from the most wise, the most
praised." (41:41-42)
The blasphemy is evident when they claim that
Hadith and Sunna are divine revelations. Do they not realize that God
Almighty is capable of preserving His revelations?
HADITH & SUNNA = 100% CONJECTURE |
Although
God declares that Quran is FULLY DETAILED, & shall be the only
source, the majority of Muslims have been duped into following the
conjecture known as Hadith & Sunna.
While Quran is proven by
PHYSICAL EVIDENCE to be the authentic and unaltered word of God (see the
book, "QURAN: VISUAL PRESENTATION OF THE MIRACLE"), Hadith and Sunna
are unanimously recognized as conjecture.
"Shall I seek OTHER THAN
GOD as a source of law, when He has revealed THIS BOOK FULLY DETAILED?
....The word of your Lord is COMPLETE, in truth and justice. Nothing
shall abrogate His words; He is the hearer, the omniscient. Yet, if you
obey the majority of people, they will take you away from the path of
God. That is because they follow CONJECTURE, and they fail to think."
(6:114-116)
"They insist upon following conjecture, when the guidance is given to them herein from their Lord." (53:23)
OBEYING THE MESSENGER IS CONDITIONED
Obeying the messenger is absolute only as far as the Quranic revelations are concerned.
Obeying the messenger is in upholding Quran, the whole Quran, and nothing but Quran.
Obedience
is strictly ON CONDITION THAT the source is God through the messenger,
and not the messenger who is no more than a human being, subject to
errors.
As shown in the verse below, the messenger as a man is to be obeyed ONLY if he is right:
"O
prophet, if the believing women come to you and pledge that they will
not idolize anything beside God, nor steal, nor commit adultery, nor
kill their children, nor produce any falsehood, nor disobey you WHEN YOU
ARE RIGHT, you shall accept their pledge, and ask God to forgive them."
(60:12)
Thus, the condition is evident that Muhammad the man, unlike Muhammad the messenger, shall be obeyed ONLY IF HE IS RIGHT.
OBEYING THE MESSENGER IS CONDITIONED
The
Quran emphasizes that obedience is absolute when the source is God,
while the personal opinion of the messenger may be detrimental to him
and/or to those who follow his personal opinions:
"Anything good
that happens to you (O Muhammad) is from God. And anything bad that
happens to you is from you. We have sent you as a messenger to the
people, and God suffices as a witness. Whoever obeys the messenger is
obeying God. As for those who turn away, we did not send you as their
guardian." (4:79-80)
Thus, the personal opinion of Muhammad may be
bad, or may cause bad things to happen. On the other hand, Muhammad the
messenger utters THE WORDS OF GOD, i.e., the Quran, and must be obeyed
absolutely. For whoever obeys the messenger is obeying God, and we are
to obey the commandments of God, not the commandments of men.
OBEYING THE MESSENGER IS CONDITIONED
The
Quran gives numerous examples that we must obey what Muhammad uttered
as a messenger of God, and NOT NECESSARILY what he uttered as a man. As a
messenger, he uttered Quran, and nothing but Quran.
Furthermore,
the Quran teaches that Muhammad the man actually committed serious
errors. Thus, in the verse shown below we see that God wished to
establish a law whereby a man can marry the divorced wife of his adopted
son. Muhammad was to be our example. However, this was contrary to the
traditions of Arabia, and the Prophet actually "feared the people
instead of fearing God."
"You said to the one blessed by God and
blessed by you, 'Do not divorce your wife, and observe God.' Thus, you
hid in yourself what God wanted to declare, and you feared the people
when God is the one you should fear. Then, when Zeid (Muhammad's adopted
son) finally divorced her, we had you marry her. This was done to show
that the believing men are allowed to marry the divorced wives of their
adopted sons. The commands of God shall be carried out." (33:37)
OBEYING THE MESSENGER IS CONDITIONED
One
compete Sura illustrates the fact that we are to obey Muhammad ONLY in
his Quranic utterances, and NOT in his personal utterances or personal
behavior. This rules out the socalled "Hadith" and the socalled "Sunna"
as legitimate sources of religious guidance.
The Sura is entitled
"'Abasa = He Frowned", and narrates an incident where Muhammad ignored a
poor blind man, and gave his full attention to a rich man:
"He
(Muhammad) frowned and turned away, when the blind man came to him. How
do you know; he may be saved? Or, he may heed the message and benefit
from such heeding. As for the rich man, you (Muhammad) gave him your
attention. Even though you cannot guarantee his salvation. But the one
who came to you seeking salvation, and sincerely reverent, you
disregarded him. Indeed, THIS IS A REMINDER, for those who choose to
remember." (80:1-12)
THE IDOLIZATION OF MUHAMMAD |
Refusing
to believe God in His repeated assertions that the QURAN IS COMPLETE,
PERFECT, & SHALL BE THE ONLY SOURCE of religious guidance, and
following the conjecture known as Hadith & Sunna constitutes
deification of the prophet Muhammad against his will.
"Say (O
Muhammad), 'If the ocean were ink for the words of my Lord, the ocean
would have run out before my Lord runs out of words, even if we supplied
twice as much ink.' Say (O Muhammad), 'I am no more than a human being
like you. It has been revealed to me that your God is ONE GOD. Thus,
anyone who looks forward to meeting his Lord shall lead a righteous
life, and NEVER SET UP ANY IDOLS beside his Lord.'" (18:109-110)
These
verses clearly inform us that God does not suffer from shortage of
words; that He gave us ALL THE WORDS we need in this Quran, and that we
should not seek the words of Muhammad, or anyone else, and that Muhammad
is a man like other men; he should not be idolized (see end of verse).
QURAN: YOU SHALL NOT IDOLIZE MUHAMMAD
There are only two verses in Quran that describe the prophet Muhammad as "no more than a human being like you."
IS IT COINCIDENCE THAT BOTH VERSES FORBID IDOLATRY AT THE END OF EACH VERSE ??
The first verse is shown on the previous page, and the second verse is shown below:
"Say
(O Muhammad), 'I am no more than a human being like you. It has been
revealed to me that your God is ONE GOD. Therefore, you shall observe
Him ALONE, and ask His forgiveness, AND WOE TO THE IDOLWORSHIPERS.'"
(41:6)
The true believers believe their Lord in His statements
that QURAN IS COMPLETE, PERFECT, FULLY DETAILED, AND SHALL BE THE SOLE
SOURCE OF RELIGIOUS GUIDANCE. Only the idolworshipers will seek other
than Quran. Following "Hadith & Sunna" is idolization of the prophet
Muhammad against his will.
THE ABUSE OF QURAN
"God and His angels encourage the prophet. O you who believe, you too shall encourage him, and support him completely." (33:56)
This
is by far the most abused verse in the whole Quran. Through satanic
distortions, ignorance, and idolworship, this verse causes millions of
Muslims to glorify the prophet against his will, instead of glorifying
God.
People who sing the praises of this particular verse day and night are obviously ignorant of two important facts:
(1)
The word "Naby = prophet " when referring to the prophet Muhammad
ALWAYS refers to him when he was alive; not after his death.
(2)
In the same Sura, and 13 verses ahead of this verse, we find that God nd
His angels do the same honoring for ALL THE BELIEVERS.
"God and His angels encourage the believers, to take them out of darkness . Into the light." (33:43)
THE ABUSE OF QURAN
Verse
103 of Sura 9 further clarifies the meaning of the words "SSALLOO" and
"YUSSALLEE." In this verse, we see that the Prophet is commanded to
"YUSSALLEE" for the believers, just as they are asked to do for him in
verse 56 of Sura 33 (see Page 20).
"Take (O Muhammad) a portion of
their money for charity, in order to purify them and sanctify them, and
encourage them (SSALLEE 'ALAYHIM) for your encouragement is a
consolation for them. God is hearer, omniscient." (9:103).
Thus,
the true meaning of this expression is "encourage," and NOT "praise day
and night" as those who abuse the Quran have indicated.
SUMMARY
1. God and His angels encourage the believers, to take them out of darkness into the light (33:43).
2. God and His angels encourage the Prophet during his life to keep him on the right path (33:56).
3.
The believers are asked to support the Prophet during his life (33:56),
and the Prophet does the same for the believers (9:103).
THE ABUSE OF QURAN
"In
the messenger of God, you have a good example; a good example for those
who are seeking God and the Last day, and commemorate God frequently."
(33:21)
Satan used this verse to claim a special status for the
idolization of Muhammad, and to convince the people of the necessity of
Sunna (traditions) of the prophet.
There is no doubt that the
prophet Muhammad is our best example. And his example is set by
upholding Quran, and nothing but Quran.
Obviously, those who fell
in Satan's trap are ignorant of the fact that ABRAHAM IS DESCRIBED IN
QURAN IN THE SAME WORDS; word for word.
"In Abraham and those who believed with him, you have a good example; for those who are seeking God and the Last day." (60:4, 6)
DOES GOD HATE MUHAMMAD ???
Of course not. But when you repeat the same things that God says about Muhammad in Quran, they accuse you of hating Muhammad.
Similarly, when you tell the Christians that Jesus is a human being and a messenger of God, they accuse you of hating Jesus.
MUHAMMAD CANNOT GUIDE ANYONE (28:56)
"You
(Muhammad) cannot guide even the ones you love. God is the one who
guides whomever He wills, for He knows best those who deserve the
guidance." (28:56)
The sole function of the prophet was to deliver Quran without any alteration, addition, reduction, or explanation.
Please see pages 29-35.
THE TRUE LOVE OF MUHAMMAD
The
true love of Jesus is to recognize him as a human and a messenger of
God. The Christians love Jesus so much, yet he disowns them on the Day
of Judgment (Matthew 7:23 and Quran 5:116).
The true love of
Muhammad is to recognize him as a human and to follow his teachings,
i.e., UPHOLD QURAN AND NOTHING BUT QURAN. Those who follow "Hadith &
Sunna" are named as Muhammad's enemies, and Muhammad disowns them on
the Day of Judgment as we see below:
"(On the day of judgment) the
messenger will say, 'My Lord; my people have deserted THIS QURAN.' We
thus set up against every prophet enemies from among the guilty. Your
LORD SUFFICES AS A GUIDE AND SUPPORTER." (25:30-31)
Please note
the "word for word" similarity between verse 31 above, and verse 112 or
Sura 6 which deals specifically with "Hadith."
God is the one who
created you; God is the one who provides for you; God is the one who
terminates your life; God is the one who resurrects you; God is the one
who calls you to account. Muhammad does none of these things (see
30:40).
MUHAMMAD DOES NOT KNOW THE FUTURE
"Say
(O Muhammad), 'I do not bring anything new that is different from any
other messenger. I have no idea what may happen to me, or to you. I
simply follow what is revealed to me. I am no more than a manifest
warner.'" (46:9)
"Say (O Muhammad), 'I possess no power to benefit
or harm even myself, except in accordance with God's will. (Nor do I
know the future); had I known the future, I would have increased my
wealth, and no harm would have afflicted me. I am no more than a warner,
as well as bearer of good news for those who believe.'" (7:188)
MUHAMMAD DOES NOT KNOW THE FUTURE
Yet, hundreds of "Hadiths" narrate future events that have nothing to do with Quran, and represent personal predictions.
One of the most prominent "Hadiths" is shown below:
"You
shall uphold my Sunna (traditions), and the Sunna of the 'guided
Khalifas' (AlKhulafaa' AlRashideen) who will come after me."
It
should be noted that the expression "AlKhulafaa' AlRashideen" did not
appear in Arabic literature until 200 years after the prophet; it is a
modern expression.
How did the prophet know that there will be
"Khulafaa'" who will succeed him, and how did he know that they will be
called "Al-Khulafaa' Al-Rashideen"?
The Expression "Al-Khulafaa'
Al-Rashideen" refers specifically to the four Khalifas: Abu Bakr, Umar,
Uthman, and Ali. It was not known for two centuries after the prophet.
THE MYTH OF INTERCESSION
Intercession is one of Satan's most effective tricks to dupe the people into idolizing their prophets and/or saints.
Although
the Quran repeatedly states that there will be no intercession on the
day of judgment, many Muslims were duped, through "Hadith & Sunna"
into idolizing the prophet Muhammad against his will, and inventing the
concept of INTERCESSION (Shafaa'ah):
"Spend from our provisions to you before a day comes wherein there will be no trade, no nepotism, and NO INTERCESSION." (2:254)
"The
prophets simply follow the commandments of God. He knows their past and
future. THEY CANNOT INTERCEDE EXCEPT ON BEHALF OF THOSE ALREADY SAVED
BY GOD. The prophets themselves worry about their own fate." (21:28)
THE DEIFICATION OF MUHAMMAD |
THE MYTH OF INTERCESSION
Despite
the Quran's repeated assertions that Muhammad possesses no power to
benefit anyone or harm anyone (see Page 25, & Page 30), Satan
succeeded in duping many people through the concept of intercession.
Satan convinced his victims that Muhammad will actually take them out of
hell, and admit them into heaven!
Many socalled "Muslims" extend the concept of intercession to include numerous saints and/or imams:
"They
idolize beside God those who possess no power to harm them or benefit
them, and say, 'These are our intercessors at God.' Say, 'Are you
informing God of something He does not know in the heavens or the
earth?' Glory be to Him; He is much too high to have any partners."
(10:18)
THE DEIFICATION OF MUHAMMAD
THE MYTH OF MUHAMMAD THE INTERCESSOR
The concept of intercession implies that God has some partners who intercede with Him on behalf of people.
Therefore,
intercession is idol worship, and those who believe that Muhammad will
intercede on behalf of anyone are idolizing the Prophet against his
will. Intercession by Muhammad is prevalent in the Satanic innovations
known as Hadith and/or Sunna.
The Quran clearly identifies
intercession as idol worship, and declares a GREAT CRITERION; that those
who believe in intercession cannot stand to talk about God alone; THEY
HAVE TO MENTION THEIR IDOLS ALONG.
"Say, 'To God belongs ALL
INTERCESSION. To Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth,
then to Him you will be returned.' When GOD ALONE is advocated, the
hearts of those who do not believe in the hereafter shrink with
aversion. But when idols are mentioned along with Him, they become
satisfied." (39:45)
MUHAMMAD WILL NOT CALL YOU TO ACCOUNT
"Your ONLY mission (O Muhammad) is to deliver (Quran), while it is we who will call them to account." (13:40)
MUHAMMAD CANNOT BENEFIT YOU OR HARM YOU
"Say (O Muhammad), 'I possess no power to harm myself, or benefit myself.'" (10:49)
"Say (O Muhammad), 'I possess no power to harm you, or benefit you through guiding you.'" (72:21)
Thus,
the prophet will not put you in Paradise, nor can he take you out of
hell, nor will he call you to account before him, nor can he benefit
you, nor can he harm you; HIS SOLE MISSION WAS DELIVERING QURAN, &
NOTHING BUT QURAN. To love him and honor him is to follow Quran alone,
and reject the fabrications attributed to him.
FUNCTIONS OF EVERY MESSENGER
YOU SHALL NOT WORSHIP EXCEPT GOD
Neither Jesus, nor Muhammad, want to be idolized. Their sole function was to preach the worship of GOD ALONE.
"Every
messenger we sent before you was instructed to preach that there is no
god except Me; you shall worship Me alone. Then they said, 'God most
gracious has begotten a son.' Glory be to Him; all the messengers are no
more than honored servants. They do not speak on their own; they simply
follow His commands. He knows their past and their future, and they
possess no power to intercede except on behalf of those already approved
by God. The messengers themselves are worried about their own fate.
And, if any of them claims to be a god beside God, we will punish him in
hell; we thus punish the wicked." (21:2529)
SOLE FUNCTION OF THE PROPHET: DELIVER QURAN |
Repeatedly, the Quran employs "the double negative" to emphasize that Muhammad had NO function EXCEPT delivering Quran:
"You have NO duty EXCEPT delivering (Quran)" (42:48)
"Your ONLY duty is delivering (Quran), while we will call them to account." (13:40)
"The
messenger has NO function EXCEPT delivering (Quran) and God knows
whatever you declare, as well as whatever you conceal. Say, 'The good
and the bad are not the same, despite the abundance of the bad.'
Therefore, you shall observe God, O you who possess intelligence, that
you may succeed." (5:99-100)
Unfortunately, those who refuse to
believe that Quran is the ONLY SOURCE OF RELIGIOUS GUIDANCE are much
more abundant than those who believe. (see also 16:35, 82; 24:54; 29:18;
36:17; & 64:12)
MUHAMMAD DOES NOT EXPLAIN, INTERPRET,
OR ANTICIPATE QURAN; JUST DELIVER & FOLLOW.
Hadith
& Sunna advocates claim that Hadith & Sunna are needed to
explain Quran. However, Quran teaches that God is the teacher of Quran;
that God will put Quran into the hearts of believers regardless of their
mother tongue; and that Muhammad will not explain Quran. Documents are
shown below:
"God is the teacher of Quran." (55:1-2)
"Whether
it came down in nonArabic or Arabic, say, 'For those who believe, it is
a guidance and healing. As for the disbelievers, they will be deaf and
blind to it.'" (41:44)
"Do not move your tongue (O Muhammad) in
anticipation of Quran. It is we who put it together as a Quran. Once we
recite it, you shall follow it. Then, it is we who explain it."
(75:16-19)
THE FOLLOWERS OF HADITH & SUNNA DO NOT FOLLOW THEIR OWN TEACHINGS
The
most authoritative books of Hadith, namely, Muslim & Ibn Hanbal,
report that the Prophet ordered that no one shall take anything from him
EXCEPT QURAN. Shown below is the Arabic text of this Hadith:
"Abi
Saeed AlKhudry may God be pleased with him reported that the messenger
of God may God exalt him & grant him peace had said, 'Do not write
anything from me EXCEPT QURAN. Anyone who wrote anything other than
Quran shall erase it.'" !!!
Thus, according to their own teachings,
THEY DISOBEY THE PROPHET
INCREDIBLE FACT: THEY DO NOT FOLLOW THEIR OWN TEACHINGS
According to the most "authoritative" sources of Hadith, the Prophet never changed his mind about writing from him ONLY QURAN:
Zayd
Ibn Thabit (the Prophet's closest revelation writer) visited the
Khalifa Mu'aawiya (more than 30 years after the Prophet's death), and
told him a story about the Prophet. Mu'aawiya liked the story and
ordered someone to write it down. But Zayd said, "The messenger of God
ordered us never to write anything of his Hadith." (Reported by Ibn
Hanbal)
THEY DISOBEY THEIR OWN FABRICATED IDOL !! =======================================
QURAN: DO THEY HAVE A "BOOK" WHERE
THEY FIND ANYTHING THEY WISH ?
When
you confront the followers of Hadith & Sunna with the Hadith shown
on the previous page, they admit the existence of such Hadith. They
explain their failure to follow their own teachings by the fact that
there exist equally "authentic" Hadiths where the Prophet ordered the
writing of his Hadiths!!
The Quran describes such people as "criminals," and asks: "Do they have a 'Book' where they can find anything they wish???"
"Shall
we treat the Muslims like the criminals? What is wrong with your
judgment? DO YOU HAVE A BOOK WHERE YOU CAN FIND ANYTHING YOU WISH?"
Both Hadith and Sunna fit this Quranic description; as a "Book where you can find anything you wish."
The conjectural and contradictory nature of Hadith and Sunna are unanimously recognized.
"If Quran is complete and fully detailed (as God says), where can we find the details of Salat prayers?"
This
famous question reveals their total ignorance of Quran and a
subconscious effort to prove that God is wrong in His repeated
assertions that Quran is "complete" and "fully detailed."
For the
Quran teaches in no uncertain terms that Abraham is the founder of Islam
as it is practiced today. As such, what did Abraham contribute to our
daily life as Muslims?
The Quran teaches that ALL RELIGIOUS
PRACTICES IN ISLAM (Salat, Zakat, Fasting & Hajj) CAME TO US FROM
ABRAHAM, GENERATION AFTER GENERATION.
Thus, Islam in its final
form, as is practiced today, is based on two things: (1) QURAN:
contributed through Muhammad, and (2) RELIGIOUS PRACTICES: through
Abraham.
ALL RELIGIOUS PRACTICES IN ISLAM EXISTED BEFORE MUHAMMAD.
Muhammad's SOLE FUNCTION was to deliver Quran (see Pages 30-33).
ABRAHAM: THE FOUNDER OF ISLAM
Abraham was the first recipient of the concept of ISLAM, and the first user of the word "MUSLIM" (see 2:131).
"You
shall strive in the cause of God as you should. He has blessed you, and
imposed no hardship in your religion; the RELIGION OF YOUR FATHER
ABRAHAM. Abraham is the one who named you 'Muslims' in the beginning.
Thus, the messenger serves as witness among you, just as you serve as
witnesses among the people. Therefore, you shall observe the Salat
prayers, give the Zakat charity, and hold fast to God; He is you Lord;
the best Lord, and the best supporter." (22:78)
Thus, if Abraham is the founder of Islam, did he contribute anything to our Islamic life?
The answer is: "YES; he contributed THE RELIGIOUS PRACTICES (Salat, Zakat, Fasting, & Hajj)."
ISLAM IS THE RELIGION OF ABRAHAM
While Muhammad's mission, sole mission, was delivering Quran, ALL RELIGIOUS PRACTICES CAME THROUGH ABRAHAM.
"They
said, 'Be you Jews or Christians in order to be guided.' Say, 'We
follow the religion of Abraham, monotheism; he never was an
idolworshiper.'" (2:135)
"Abraham was neither Jewish, nor
Christian; he was a monotheist; a Muslim; he never was an idolworshiper.
The people most worthy of following Abraham are those who followed him,
and this prophet (Muhammad), and those who believed. God is the Lord of
the believers." (3:67-68)
MUHAMMAD WAS A FOLLOWER OF ABRAHAM
"Then we inspired you (O Muhammad) to follow the religion of Abraham, monotheism; never was he an idolworshiper." (16:123)
Logically,
if Muhammad was a follower of Abraham, and we are followers of
Muhammad, then we are followers of Abraham. What did we learn from
Abraham???
The Quran teaches that we learned all the religious
practices of Islam from Abraham. This includes Salat, Zakat, fasting,
and Hajj.
Therefore, ISLAM IS BASED ON TWO THINGS:
(1) QURAN: THROUGH MUHAMMAD
(2) RELIGIOUS PRACTICES: VIA ABRAHAM
SALAT PRACTICED BY MUHAMMAD'S OPPONENTS
The
whole Arabian society before and during the time of Muhammad followed
the religion of Abraham. Thus, Abu Lahab, Abu Jahl, and the idolaters of
Quraish used to observe the FIVE DAILY SALAT PRAYERS exactly as we do
today, with the single exception of substituting the Quranic Faatihha
for the Ibrahimy Faatihha.
"God was not to punish them while you
(Muhammad) were still among them. God was not to punish them while they
are seeking forgiveness. Yet, they fully deserved God's punishment for
repelling from the sacred mosque, though they were not the guardians
thereof; only the righteous are guardians thereof, but most of them do
not know. THEIR SALAT PRAYERS at the shrine were no more than deceit and
repulsion. Therefore, suffer the retribution for your disbelief."
(8:33-35)
SACRED MONTHS OBSERVED BEFORE MUHAMMAD
The
four sacred months in Islam were observed before the time of Muhammad.
This further proves that all religious practices of Islam were neither
initiated, nor taught by the Prophet Muhammad; his sole mission was to
deliver Quran.
"The count of months according to God is twelve, as
shown in God's scriptures, since the day He created the heavens and the
earth. Four of them are sacred. This is the right religion; therefore,
do not wrong your souls during the four months. But you may fight the
idolaters, if they attack you therein, and know that God is with the
righteous. The practice of alternating the sacred months is a pagan
practice. Thus, they changed the sacred months, making them violable one
year and sacred the next year, as if to maintain the count instituted
by God......" (9:36-37)
TODAY'S IDOLATERS vs QURAISH'S IDOLATERS
Millions of "Muslims" today practice a form of idolatry that is similar to the idolatry of preMuhammad Quraish.
Millions
of "Muslims" in Egypt, Iran, Pakistan, India, and may other countries
go to the Mosque to pray. Their Salat prayers are definitely to God.
After finishing their Salat, they visit the tomb of the saint and ask
for health, wealth, and/or children.
The idol worshipers of
Quraish observed the five Salat prayers exactly as we do today, but they
also visited their idols Allat, Al'Uzzah, Manat, etc., to ask for
health, wealth, and/or children.
Thus, the flagrant idolatry
practiced by millions of Muslims today is exactly identical to the
idolatry of Quraish before and during the time of Muhammad; only the
idols are different.
Except for the Jewish and Christian
minorities, the Arabian society prior to the mission of Muhammad
followed the religion of Abraham. They practiced all the religious
duties of Islam. Their Salat prayers were identical to ours, but they
also practiced idolworship. The "Muslim" masses today practice
idolworship by idolizing the Prophet against his will, by idolizing
their saints and holy men or imams, and following other sources beside
Quran (see pages 7 & 8).
"YOU SHALL KEEP THE OBSERVANCE OF SALAT"
This commandment was issued during the first few weeks of Quranic revelation.
DOES IT MAKE ANY SENSE THAT GOD WOULD ISSUE A COMMANDMENT TO OBSERVE SOMETHING NOT ALREADY KNOWN ???
"...and
keep the observance of Salat and Zakat, and lend to God a loan of
righteousness. Whatever you advance for your souls, you will find at God
better and multiplied manyfold. And seek God's forgiveness; God is
forgiving, merciful." (73:20)
The word "Salat" is very
specific and means only one thing, i.e., the observance of specific
practices involving bowing and prostration. This is true throughout
Quran, throughout the ages, and in relation to any prophet, messenger,
etc.
ALL RELIGIOUS PRACTICES IN ISLAM (SALAT ZAKAT FASTING HAJJ) CAME TO US THROUGH ABRAHAM
In 2:128 we see Abraham and Ismail implore God to teach them "THE RELIGIOUS PRACTICES OF ISLAM."
"As
Abraham raised the foundations of Kaaba, together with Ismail, they
prayed, 'Our Lord, accept this work from us; you are the hearer, the
omniscient. Our Lord, & make us Muslims to you; and from our
descendants let there be a nation of Muslims to you; AND TEACH US HOW TO
PRACTICE OUR RELIGIOUS DUTIES, and redeem us; you are the redeemer, the
merciful.'" (2:127-128)
ABRAHAM: FIRST (and last) RECIPIENT OF SPECIFIC RELIGIOUS PRACTICES.
The
prophets and messengers prior to Abraham were not given any religious
practices. The human society was so primitive, only BELIEF IN GOD ALONE
was all that is required for salvation. See for example Sura 71,
entitled "Noah." Thus, RELIGIOUS PRACTICES appear in Quran ONLY after
Abraham; never before him.
"(O Children of Israel,) you shall observe the Salat prayers & Zakat charity; you shall bow down with those who bow." (2:43)
"We
made the Kaaba a focal point for all the people, and a sanctuary; thus,
you shall consider this station of Abraham a place of worship. And we
appointed Abraham and Ismail to purify My shrine for those who would
visit it, those who would retreat therein, and those who bow and
prostrate." (2:125)
SALAT PRAYERS OBSERVED BEFORE MUHAMMAD
But the Jews and Christians "LOST" the Salat prayers.
"O Mary, you shall obey your Lord, and you shall prostrate and bow down with those who bow down." (3:43)
"(Jesus
said,) God has made me blessed wherever I go, and He commanded me to
observe the Salat prayers and Zakat charity for as long as I live."
(19:31)
"Generations came thereafter who LOST the Salat prayers, and pursued their lusts." (19:59)
There
are remnants of the Salat prayers among the Jews, namely, the
Samaritans, and the Christians (the Russian Orthodox Church). It is
noteworthy that the Samaritan Jews have denounced the manmade
commandments of Talmud, and decided to adhere to the word of God alone,
i.e., Torah (see "The Myth of God Incarnate", Page 117).
SALAT & ZAKAT CAME TO US VIA ABRAHAM
Those
who refuse to believe God are challenging Quran by asking, "If Quran is
complete and fully detailed (as stated in 6:19, 38, & 114), where
can we find the details of Salat and Zakat?" For such people, who are
obviously isolated from Quran (see 18:57), we present the following
Quranic truth:
"And we granted him (Abraham) Isaac and Jacob as a
gift, and we made them righteous. And we appointed them imams who guided
in accordance with our commandments, AND WE TAUGHT THEM RIGHTEOUS WORKS
AND THE OBSERVANCE OF SALAT AND ZAKAT." (21:72-73)
Unfortunately, this plain Quranic truth is not accessible by those who keep trying to prove that Quran is not complete.
FIRST,
they have to come to sincere conviction that Quran is complete,
perfect, and fully detailed; they have to believe their Lord. Once they
attain this conviction, the shields will be removed from around their
hearts, the deafness will be removed from their ears, and they will
become worthy of the Quranic truth.
FASTING CAME TO US VIA ABRAHAM
(then modified in Quran)
"You
are permitted to have sexual intercourse with your wives during the
night of fasting; they are your confidantes, and you are their
confidants. God knew that YOU USED TO BETRAY YOUR SOULS (by having
intercourse during the night) IN THE PAST. He has redeemed you, and He
has pardoned you. HENCEFORTH, you may have intercourse with them,
seeking what God has permitted for you." (part of 2:187)
This
verse, therefore, clearly informs us that fasting was practiced before
Muhammad according to the religion of Abraham (Islam).
When
fasting as initially ordained through Abraham, sexual intercourse was
prohibited throughout the fasting month of Ramadan, day and night.
HAJJ CAME TO US VIA ABRAHAM
Please note that the same verse also shows THE METHOD OF SALAT PRAYER (bowing & prostrating):
"We
pointed out to Abraham the location of the shrine, and directed him to
worship none beside Me, and to purify My shrine for those who would
visit it, those who would retreat therein, and those who would bow and
prostrate. And you shall declare (O Abraham) that the people shall
observe Hajj. They will then come to you, walking or riding, from the
farthest places." (22:26-27)
Thus, Quran clearly teaches that ALL RELIGIOUS PRACTICES IN ISLAM (Salat, Zakat, Fasting, & Hajj) came to us via Abraham.
Quran
teaches that God taught Abraham how to do Salat, Zakat, Fasting, &
Hajj, then Abraham taught these practices to his children, and so on
generation after generation.
THEY STILL INSIST
Even
after showing all this Quranic evidence to those who do not believe
God, you will note that they insist on their ways. Do not be surprised
if they ask you after all this: "Where are the details of Salat prayers
in Quran?"
Until they decide to believe their Creator in
His repeated assertions that Quran is complete, they can never see the
Quranic truth. This is documented below:
CONSEQUENCES OF REFUSING TO BELIEVE QURAN |
Deprivation from seeing, hearing, or understanding Quran. Thus, guidance becomes impossible:
"Who
is more wicked than one who is reminded of the verses of his Lord, then
disregards them, while unaware of his sin? Consequently, we place
shields on their hearts, to prevent them from understanding (Quran), and
deafness in their ears. Thus, if you invite them to the guidance, they
can never ever be guided." (18:57)
TWO UNFORTUNATE FACTS OF LIFE
(1) The majority of people are disbelievers.
(2) The majority of BELIEVERS are going to hell.
"The majority of people, no matter what you do, are not believers." (12:103)
"And the majority of those who believe in God are idolworshipers." (12:106)
Thus, IF YOU ARE WITH MAJORITY, YOU ARE IN DEEP TROUBLE.
Even if you are with the majority of BELIEVERS, you are in deep trouble.
Those who worship GOD ALONE are a rare and extremely fortunate group; they are a minority of the minority.
PROBLEM IS: THEY THINK THEY ARE RIGHTEOUS
"Anyone
who disregards the message of God most gracious, we appoint a devil to
be his constant companion. The devils then divert them from the path,
yet make them THINK that they are rightly guided." (43:36-37)
"You
shall be strictly righteous at every mosque, and worship God, devoting
your worship absolutely to Him alone. Just as He created you initially,
you will be returned. Some He guides. Others are committed to straying,
for they take the devils as allies instead of God, and THINK that they
are rightly guided." (7:29-30)
"The worst losers are those who go astray, then THINK that they are rightly guided." (18:103-104)
UNAWARE OF THEIR IDOL WORSHIP
The majority of "believers" fall into idolworship without realizing it; they are not aware that they are idolaters:
"On
the day (of judgment) when we gather all the people, we will ask the
idolworshipers, 'Where are your idols whom you set up beside God?' Then,
their only answer will be, 'By God our Lord, we were not
idolworshipers.' Note how they lied even to themselves, and note that
the idols they had set up will abandon them." (6:22-24)
Thus,
there are people who are idolworshipers, who are unaware of their
idolatry. Could you be one of them? How do you know that you are not one
of them? This is your only chance to ascertain that you are not an
idolworshiper.
HOW CAN YOU ASCERTAIN THAT YOUR ARE NOT AN IDOLWORSHIPER?
The answer on Page 55.
THE IMPORTANCE OF "HADITH & SUNNA" |
Quran teaches that "Hadith & Sunna" constitute the necessary test to distinguish the true Muslim from the false Muslim.
The
true Muslim believes God in His statements that Quran is complete,
perfect, and fully detailed (6:19, 38, & 114). Consequently, the
true Muslim does not accept any other source for religious guidance.
As
for the false Muslim, he or she will become attracted to "Hadith &
Sunna", and thus [be] exposed as a hypocrite who utters belief, while
the heart inside is denying (see 16:22).
"We set up against every
prophet enemies, human and jinn devils, who exhort each other to invent
fancy statements in order to deceive. Had your Lord willed, they would
not have done it. (But it is God's will) in order that the minds of
those who do not believe in the hereafter may listen thereto, and to let
them accept it, and to expose their true identity." (6:112-113)
Are
you satisfied with the Quran? Do you believe God? Or, do you feel that
Quran is not complete; that you need additional sources of religious
guidance?
ONE AUTHENTIC "HADITH"
On
the day of judgment, Muhammad will be the first to complain that his
followers had abandoned Quran, in favor of the fabrications by his
enemies (Hadith & Sunna):
"And the messenger will say, 'My
Lord, my people have deserted THIS QURAN.' We thus set up against every
prophet enemies who are wicked. YOUR LORD SUFFICES AS A GUIDE AND
SUPPORTER (i.e., Quran is enough)." (25:30-31)
Note the word for word similarity between 25:31 shown above, and 6:112 shown on the previous page. Could this be coincidental?
Thus,
the prophet Muhammad will be disappointed with those who love him
excessively, just as Jesus will be disappointed with those Christians
who considered him to be a god or son of God.
QURAN: THE ONLY LEGITIMATE "HADITH"
"These
are God's verses; we recite them for you truthfully. In which "Hadith",
beside God and His verses, do they believe in? WOE TO EVERY SINFUL
FABRICATOR. He hears God's verses, then insists arrogantly on his way,
as if he never heard them; promise him painful retribution. When he
learns anything from our verses, he takes it in vain; these have
deserved humiliating retribution. Awaiting them is hell; neither their
earnings, nor the idols they had set up beside God can help them; they
have deserved terrible retribution. THIS IS THE GUIDANCE, and those who
do not believe the verses of their Lord will suffer debasement, and
painful retribution." (45:6-11)
Do you believe God's verses? Do
you believe that Quran is complete, perfect, and fully detailed (6:19,
38, & 114)? Or, do you have to have other sources beside Quran?
Quran is the only "Hadith" to be followed; all other Hadiths are blasphemous and misleading fabrications:
"God
has revealed the best 'Hadith'; a book that is consistent, and
describes both ways (to heaven and Hell). The skins of those who
reverence their Lord shudder therefrom, then their skins and hearts
soften up and receive God's message. Such is God's guidance; He guides
whomever He wills. As for those sent astray by Him, no one can guide
them." (39:23)
"There are those who advocate vain 'Hadith' causing
diversion from the path of God, without knowledge, and fail to take
such actions seriously; these have deserved humiliating retribution. And
when our verses are recited to him, he turns away arrogantly, as if he
never heard them; as if his ears are deaf; promise him painful
retribution." (31:67)
In
addition to the clear Quranic statements assuring the believers that
Quran is complete; perfect, fully detailed, and shall be the ONLY source
of religious guidance, it was the will of God Almighty to further
support these revelations with irrefutable PHYSICAL EVIDENCE.
A
mathematical miracle was discovered in Quran, whereby every word, indeed
every letter, was placed in Quran in accordance with an extremely
intricate numerical code. The code is based on the number [19], which is
the number of letters in the opening statement of Quran, and the number
indicated in 74:30 as providing the answer to those who claim that
Quran is manmade. This mathematical miracle proves beyond doubt that
Quran is a divine scripture, and that it has been perfectly preserved.
For details please see the book, "QURAN: VISUAL PRESENTATION OF THE
MIRACLE."
The PHYSICAL EVIDENCE supporting Quran as THE ONLY
SOURCE OF RELIGIOUS GUIDANCE is interlocking with the mathematical
miracle of Quran; it is also based on the number [19]. Such evidence is
presented on pages 64-72.
Since the evidence is purely PHYSICAL,
rather than interpretative, all freethinking people will accept it. Only
those hopelessly trapped in false convictions will fail to see the
clear truth, due to the curse of rejecting Quran (see 17:45).
GOD REVEALED THIS BOOK FULLY DETAILED (6:114)
* The Arabic text of this verse consists of 19 letters.
* The number of this verse is 114; or 19 x 6.
[
The Arabic letters of this statement are shown, each with a consecutive
number under it to demonstrate that it is indeed 19 Arabic letters.]
[The line containing this phrase is shown in Arabic.]
THE WORD OF YOUR LORD (THIS QURAN) IS
COMPLETE, IN TRUTH AND JUSTICE (6:115).
This statement consists of 19 letters in the Arabic text.
[
The Arabic letters of this statement are shown, each with a consecutive
number under it to demonstrate that it is indeed 19 Arabic letters.]
[This phrase is shown in Arabic.]
MUHAMMAD FORBIDDEN FROM ANTICIPATING QURAN
The
Prophet Muhammad received an order from God enjoining him from uttering
Quranic material without authorization, and ordering him to adhere
strictly to Quran and follow it, once it is revealed.
This verse is No. 114, in Chapter 20.
114 = 19 x 6
[The verse is shown in Arabic with the verse number highlighted.]
Could it be coincidental that the number of this verse is the same as the total number of suras in Quran?
God and His messenger want us to uphold Quran, the whole Quran, and nothing but Quran.
MUHAMMAD FORBIDDEN FROM EXPLAINING QURAN
There
are those who claim that Quran is too difficult to understand, and that
"Hadith & Sunna" are needed to explain Quran. First of all, one
look at Quran and "Hadith" convinces the reader that the opposite is
true. Because the fabricators of "Hadith" belonged to various tribes and
even countries, with various dialects, slangs, and accents, the
language of "Hadith" is in fact extremely difficult.
"Do
not move your tongue (O Muhammad) to hasten the revelation of Quran. It
is we who will put it together as a Quran. Once we reveal it, YOU SHALL
FOLLOW IT. Then, it is we who will explain it." (75:16-19)
The verse stating that God is the one who explains Quran happens to be verse No. 19.
QURAN CONTAINS ALL THE EXAMPLES WE NEED
There
are four scattered verses stating generally that Quran contains all the
examples, allegories, or similitudes that we need. These verses are
17:89, 18:54, 30:58, & 39:27. By adding the verse numbers of these
four crucial verses, the total is 228, or 19 x 12.
89 + 54 + 58 + 27 = 228 = 19 x 12.
[
The Arabic of the first three verses is then shown on this page. The
verse number for each is highlighted. Since we cannot reproduce the
Arabic, we have substituted the English translation taken from " Quran:
The Final Testament", translated by Rashad Khalifa, Universal Unity,
1992.]
"We have cited for the people in this Quran all kinds of examples, but most people insist upon disbelieving. (17:89)
We have cited in this Quran every kind of example, but the human being is the most argumentative creature. (18:54)
"Thus,
we have cited for the people in this Quran all kinds of examples. Yet,
no matter what kind of proof you present to the disbelievers, they say,
'You are falsifiers.'" (30:58)
"God thus seals the hearts of those who do not know." (30:59)
(Continued on the next page)
(Continued from the previous page)
[Again, the Arabic is shown, and we have substituted the English, as on the last page]
"We have cited for the people every kind of example in this Quran, that they may take heed." (39:27)
"An Arabic Quran, without any ambiguity, that they may be righteous." (39:28)
"God
cites the example of a man who deals with disputing partners (Hadith),
compared to a man who deals with only one consistent source (Quran). Are
they the same? Praise be to God; most of them do not know." (39:29)
"You (Muhammad) will surely die, just like they will die. " (39:30)
"On the Day of Resurrection, before your Lord, you people will feud with one another. " (39:31)
"Who
is more evil than one who attributes lies to God, while disbelieving in
the truth that has come to him? Is Hell not a just requital for the
disbelievers? " (39:32)
The verse numbers of the four verses are 89, 54, 58, and 27.
89 + 54 + 58 + 27 = 228
228 = 19 x 12
The
verses shown above further state that Muhammad is a human being who
dies like the rest of us, and that we shall follow ONE SOURCE of law,
rather than a number of contradicting sources. The ONE SOURCE is
identified in verse 28 above as QURAN.
HADITH: WHERE THEY FIND ANYTHING THEY WISH
Finally,
here is a piece of PHYSICAL EVIDENCE informing us that the believers
can be distinguished by the fact that they follow THE ONE CONSISTENT
SOURCE (Quran), while the disbelievers follow "a book wherein they find
anything they want." It is well known that we can find anything we want
in the books of "Hadith."
The statement, in the form of a question to the disbelievers, says, "DO YOU FOLLOW A BOOK WHEREIN YOU FIND ANYTHING YOU WANT?"
This important statement happens to be No. 38
38 = 19 x 2
"Shall
we treat the Muslims like the criminals? What is wrong with your
judgment? DO YOU FOLLOW A BOOK WHEREIN YOU FIND ANYTHING YOU WANT?"
(68:3538)
GOD CALLS QURAN: COMPLETE (6:115)
GOD CALLS QURAN: FULLY DETAILED (6:114)
GOD CALLS QURAN: PERFECT (6:38)
THE PROPHET DELIVERS QURAN ALONE (69:40-47)
HADITH & SUNNA ARE BLASPHEMOUS INNOVATIONS (6:112 & 25:31)
YOU SHALL UPHOLD QURAN ALONE (6:19; 7:3; etc.)
GOD PROVIDED EVEN PHYSICAL EVIDENCE (see Pages 64-72)
Why then do they fail to see all this???!!!
WHY DO THEY FAIL TO BELIEVE GOD?
Because
their hearts inside are denying what they utter with their mouths. They
confess belief due to social and educational circumstances, but their
hearts inside are denying:
"Your god is ONE GOD. However, those
who do not believe in the hereafter, their hearts are denying, and they
are too arrogant." (16:22)
The consequence of this denying (one's deep convictions are denying) is total isolation from Quran:
"When
you read Quran, we place between you and those who do not believe in
the hereafter AN INVISIBLE BARRIER. And we place shields on their hearts
to prevent them from understanding it, and deafness in their ears; and
when you preach your Lord (ALONE) in the QURAN ALONE they run away in
aversion." (17:45-46)
Therefore, they cannot accept QURAN ALONE; they look for other sources such as "Hadith & Sunna."
The Quran teaches, unequivocally, that victory is G U A R A N T E E D for the Muslims:
"We have decreed that the believers will be victorious." (30:47)
"We
will positively grant victory to our messengers, and to those who
believe, both in this live and on the day of resurrection." (40:51)
"God will support with victory those who support Him. God is powerful, Almighty." (22:40)
"God will surely defend those who believe. God does not like any betrayer, disbeliever." (22:38)
"O you who believe, if you support God, He will grant you victory, and strengthen your foothold." (47:7)
WHY THEN ARE THE MUSLIMS DEFEATED ?
In
view of the guarantees shown on the previous page, and since God is
never wrong, the "Muslims" of today could not possibly be Muslims.
HISTORICAL FACTS
For
as long as the Muslim Ummah upheld Quran, and nothing but Quran, the
Muslims led the world scientifically, technologically, culturally,
socially, militarily, and economically. They never lost a single battle.
The borders of Islam extended from West Africa to China; into Southern
France and Eastern Germany.
With the appearance of Hadith &
Sunna at the beginning of the third century AH, a progressive
deterioration of the Muslim Ummah began. Since the appearance of these
innovations as sources of guidance beside the Quran, the "Muslims" never
won a single battle.
Why do 3 million Israelis consistently defeat 150 million Arabs???
Does it make any sense that 3 million Israelis should force 1,000 million "Muslims" out of their Mosque in Jerusalem?
Why does India consistently defeat Pakistan? Why do the Russians invade Afghanistan? etc...etc...etc.
WHY THEN ARE THE "MUSLIMS" DEFEATED?
BECAUSE
they refuse to believe God in His repeated statements that Quran is
COMPLETE, PERFECT, FULLY DETAILED, and SHALL BE THE ONLY SOURCE OF
RELIGIOUS GUIDANCE.
Because they have accepted other sources, namely, Hadith and Sunna, beside Quran.
"Whoever
disregards My message (Quran) shall have a miserable life, then we will
resurrect him, on the Day of Resurrection, blind. He will say, 'My
Lord, why did You resurrect me blind, when I used to be a seer (in the
first life)?' (God will say), 'This is because Our revelations came to
you, but your forgot them, and consequently, today we forget you.' We
thus punish those who exceed the limits and refuse to believe the verses
of their Lord. And surely, the retribution in the Hereafter is far
worse, and everlasting." (20:124127)
HADITH CAUSED DEVIATION FROM QURAN! |
(1) IS THIS HOW YOU DO YOUR ABLUTION (WUDU)?
Although
God's orders are clear and simple in Quran about the observance of
ablution, the "Muslim" masses follow another god beside God; they do not
do the ablution as prescribed by God. The ultimate result: humiliation
& defeat.
"O you who believe, when you get up to perform the
Salat prayers you shall wash your faces, your hands up to the elbows,
wipe your heads, and wash your feet." (5:6)
The "Muslim" masses
today refuse to be satisfied with the commandments of God. They uphold
commandments of men, such as the various "imams" and "scholars." As a
result, they have a prolonged ablution that depends on which "sect" they
follow. All sects resulted from the various "imams" opinions as to how
the Prophet is supposed to have done his ablution. Thus, they fell in
Satan's trap, disobeyed their Creator, and incurred misery and defeat.
HADITH CAUSED DEVIATION FROM QURAN!
(2) IS THIS HOW YOU DO YOUR SALAT PRAYERS?
"When
you observe your Salat prayers, your voice shall not be too loud, nor
too low; you shall maintain an intermediate tone." (17:110)
Despite
these straightforward instructions from God, the "Muslim" masses were
diverted by Hadith; they maintain total silence during the noon prayer,
the afternoon prayer, the third unit of the sunset prayer, and the
second half of the night prayer. WHERE DID THEY GET THESE INSTRUCTIONS?
From another god beside God; from other sources beside Quran.
Thus,
they fell en masse in Satan's traps, and disobeyed their Creator, whose
word (Quran) is complete, perfect, and fully detailed (6:19, 38, &
114).
HADITH CAUSED DEVIATION FROM QURAN
(3) Do you mention other names beside God's in Salat?
It is God's commandment that we shall not mention any names in our Salat prayers, beside the name of God (72:18).
But
the Muslim masses today follow the innovations that dictate upon them
the praising and glorifying of Muhammad and Abraham, while praying to
their Lord.
"The mosques belong to God; therefore, do not mention any other names beside the name of God." (72:18)
WHAT IS MORE CLEAR THAN THAT?
The
"Muslims" have been duped by Satan into uttering the innovation known
as "Tashahhud" where they shower praises and glorifications on Muhammad
and Abraham.
It should be noted that even the sources of Hadith
& Sunna recognize "Tashahhud" as an innovation which is not part of
the Salat prayers!
IS THIS NOT FLAGRANT IDOLWORSHIP???
HADITH & SUNNA vs GOD'S LAW
After
stating that the law against adultery is "perfectly clear," the Quranic
commandment orders us to punish the adulterers by whipping them one
hundred lashes.
Did the Muslims follow and obey their Creator? NO.
The
Muslim "scholars" declared that the Quranic law is not clear !!! They
claimed that the adulterers are not defined in Quran with regard to
their marital status, and that they need Hadith to clarify Quran !!!
"This
Sura we send down, and decree as law, and send down in it verses that
are perfectly clear, that you may take heed. The adulteress and
adulterer, you shall whip each of them a hundred lashes, and do not be
deterred by kindness from carrying out God's law, if you truly believe
in God and the Last Day. Let a group of believers witness their
punishment." (24:12)
Overcome by tradition, and Satan's influence,
the "Muslim" scholars instituted "stoning to death" as the punishment
for married adulterers !!!
OBEY GOD AND OBEY THE MESSENGER
Satan
succeeded in duping millions of Muslims into believing that obeying God
means obeying the Quran, while obeying the messenger means obeying
Hadith.
What helped in popularizing this Satanic trick was the
general ignorance of Quran among the Muslim masses, and their failure to
heed the divine commandments that Quran shall be the ONLY SOURCE of
jurisprudence and/or religious guidance.
Only a little thinking
leads us to realize that Quran came to us through Muhammad's mouth, and
DID NOT COME TO US FROM GOD DIRECTLY. Hence the commandment that we
shall obey the messenger...for he utters the words of God.
All
previous scriptures have stated the same Quranic truth that: "Whoever
obeys the messenger is obeying God." Since the messenger obviously is
not God, the commandment clearly means obeying the words of God uttered
by the messenger.
The knowledgeable and fortunate believers,
therefore, realize that Hadith & Sunna are Satanic fabrications
aimed at diverting people from the path of God.
MUHAMMAD'S HADITHS ARE NOT MUHAMMAD'S
Instead,
they are the Hadiths (narrations) of men and women who never saw the
Prophet; in fact, the grandparents of their grandparents never saw the
Prophet.
It is well known that the first book of Hadith is that of
Bukhary, who was born more than 200 years after the death of Muhammad.
When Bukhary wrote his book of Hadiths, he used to visit the people whom
he knew as sources. After verifying that his source is "truthful," and
known as a man or woman of righteousness, Bukhary would ask, "Do you
know a Hadith?" The person would answer, "Yes," then proceed to narrate
the "Hadith" as follows: "I heard my father, may God bless his soul, say
that he heard his older brother, may God bless his soul, say that he
was sitting with his grandmother, may God bless her soul, and she told
him that she was having dinner one day with her great uncle, may God
bless his soul, when he stated that his maternal grandfather knew Imam
Ahmad ibn Muhammad alAmawy, who mentioned that his grandfather heard
from his oldest uncle that he met the great companion of the Prophet
Omar ibn Khaled AlYamany, and he told him that the Prophet, peace be
upon him, said, '......'"
Thus, the Hadith is simply a narration
by Bukhary's source, claiming that he or she heard something about the
Prophet across eight generations of the dead.
On the other hand,
we now possess irrefutable physical evidence that Quran is the
infallible word of God, and that it was uttered by the Prophet Muhammad.
Therefore, we obey the messenger by obeying Quran; nothing but Quran.
OBEYING HADITH IS NOT OBEYING THE MESSENGER
Instead, it is obedience to the men and women who narrated the "Hadiths."
Obeying
the socalled "Hadith of the Prophet," is in fact obeying a group of
simpleminded people who thought that the Prophet had said something more
than 200 years before they were born.
Thus, if the narrator of a
given Hadith is for example a Abbas ibn Yasser, then obeying the Hadith
narrated by Abbas ibn Yasser is in fact obeying Abbas ibn Yasser, and
has nothing to do with obeying the Prophet.
The true obedience of
the Prophet Muhammad is only by obeying Quran, which was indeed uttered
by Muhammad, and is supported by indisputable PHYSICAL EVIDENCE.
These facts explain the Quran's repeated statements that "Only those with intelligence take heed."
The
Quran was delivered to us through Muhammad's mouth, without any
mediators or narrators. The Quran came through Muhammad's mouth,
directly to the ears of the revelation writers who scrupulously wrote it
down the moment it was uttered.
Thus, Quran is the only true
Hadith of Muhammad. Furthermore, the Almighty has guaranteed the eternal
preservation of His words, as uttered by Muhammad (15:9).
"(On
the day of judgment) the disbelievers will be told, 'God's abhorrence
towards you is far worse than your own abhorrence towards yourselves,
for you were invited to the faith but refused.' They will say, 'Our
Lord, You gave us two deaths and two lives, and now we confess our sins;
IS THERE ANYWAY OUT?' That is because when GOD ALONE was advocated, you
refused to believe. But when idols were advocated along with Him, you
believed. Therefore, judgment now belongs with God, the most high, the
great." (40:10-12)
When GOD ALONE is advocated, do you believe? OR Do you have to have others advocated along with Him?
THE GREAT DISASTER
"When
their messengers went to them with clear evidence, they were satisfied
with the knowledge they already had, and the very thing they ridiculed
caused their doom. Then, when they say our retribution, they said, 'NOW
WE BELIEVE IN GOD ALONE AND WE REJECT OUR PREVIOUS IDOLATRY.' But alas,
their belief is useless to them after they see the retribution. Such is
God's law which is never changeable; such disbelievers are doomed."
(40:83-5)
Are you happy and satisfied with the knowledge you inherited from your parents, elders or scholars? (Hadith & Sunna)
Are you willing to give up such knowledge, in favor of God's teachings? OR, will it be too late for you?
"When God ALONE
is advocated, the hearts of those who do not believe in the hereafter
shrink with aversion. But when idols are mentioned besides Him, they
rejoice "(39:45). |
CLARIFICATION:
WHY ARE WE HERE?
The whole matter of Quran vs Hadith & Sunna becomes clear once we understand the purpose of our existence.
We
exist in this world for one, and only one, purpose. As stated in Quran
(67:12 & 51:56) we were created for the sole purpose of worshiping
GOD ALONE.
Satan wanted to be a partner with God; a god beside
God. Consequently, God created Adam to expose Satan's rebellious ideas.
And God created us to show Satan, and all the angels that we can worship
Him ALONE, without need for any partners.
The purpose of our
existence, therefore, is to worship GOD ALONE. This is why the only
unforgivable offense is idolworship. That is because once we idolize
anyone, or anything, beside God, we fail the test.
We
fulfill the purpose of our existence only if we succeed in worshiping
GOD ALONE, without idolizing Muhammad, or Jesus, or Mary, or any saint,
or any imam, or anyone, or anything.
When we seek
"religious" instructions from Muhammad, or any other source beside God,
we support Satan in his claim that God needs a partner. Therefore, those
who worship God ALONE follow the instructions and teachings of GOD
ALONE. As shown throughout this book, God's teachings are complete,
perfect, and fully detailed in Quran.
FINALLY: MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION
In your mind, can God survive ALONE???
Or, does God need Muhammad, in your mind, in order to be commemorated and worshiped???
In your mind, can GOD ALONE survive?
Or, does God need a partner, in your mind, such as Muhammad, Jesus, Mary, or some saint(s)???
Would
you be perfectly happy and content if you knew about GOD ALONE, without
Muhammad, Jesus, Mary, or any saint, or anyone, or anything?
Are you annoyed by talking about GOD ALONE?
When
I keep talking about GOD ALONE, does this annoy you? Do you have to
hear other names along with God? Can GOD ALONE survive in your mind?
When
I repeat, and repeat, my talk about GOD ALONE, do you feel any
repulsion? Or, are you happy and content with the talk about GOD
ALONE??? Based on the Great Quranic criterion, as stated in 39:45, your
answers to these questions provide the key to knowing yourself, and your
destiny.
