Many conflicting articles have been
written about Dr. Rashad Khalifa. This is a very much expected matter for
a man who has shaken the foundations of the corrupted religious establishments
by his discoveries and his presentations of the Quranic truth. These corrupted
establishments do not like it, and they are frightened by the growing awareness
of their corruptions and deviation from the path of God and His words in
the Quran. They recruited many puppets to spread false information and
accusations in a desperate attempt to drown the truth. They created newsletters,
web sites and lectures aiming at assaulting his character in an attempt to
kill the message he presented to the seekers of the truth. The intelligent
observer will also notice that many anti-Islamic groups have flooded
the Internet with many web sites, publications and e-mails that attack the
prophet Muhammed and assault his character in their desperate attempt to
kill his message. They use lies and distortion of the truth to attack
Muhammed and his message. Those attacking Dr. Khalifa are using the
same technique, they may be a different group but
has that same teacher, Satan.
Dr Khalifa was treated as a hero first by the same religious
groups that attack him now, when he discovered the
Mathematical Miracle of the Quran. He was later defamed, attacked, insulted
then assassinated when he exposed and denounced the corruption that
entered the great religion of Islam (Submission) and the corruption
of the Muslim religious leaders
As we know, there is a fast growing and persistent interest in
Dr. Rashad Khalifa, and his work. Therefore, we decided to provide this
information to the reader. We are hoping to correct the lies and misinformation
that is propagated by the corrupted religious leaders and their puppets,
blind followers and other anti-Islamic groups who love to see the
greatness of Islam (Submission) distorted and misrepresented.
We need however, to remind the reader that , it is not our intention to
make of Dr Khalifa a focus of attention, as this is a character
of those attacking him who made out of Muhammed or Jesus their
focus of attention. Our focus should always be GOD ALONE and HIS
message to us. Any attention paid to Dr. Khalifa should be directed
to the issues he brought forward, stood and died for.
This file was never meant to cover every aspect of the issues but many of
them. We encourage the reader to look up every verse mentioned in this file
and read it. If any of the material needs more clarification, check it in
the English translation of the
Quran of Dr. Khalifa or look it up on
the Submission Home Page.
DR. RASHAD KHALIFA, THE MAN:
DR. RASHAD KHALIFA was born in a religious family on November 19, 1935 in
a small town in Egypt, Kafr El-Zayat. His father was a religious leader for
a large Sufi group, made of thousands of followers. His father named the
Sufi group after his son ,Rashad, when Rashad was still a child, Tariqat
Ar-Rashad Al-Shathlya. It is interesting to know that it was the same Sufi
group with their idolization of the Muslim Saints (Wali ), the prophet and
his family, and their upholding of other books with the Quran that might
have started Dr. Khalifa on the road to evaluate the TRUE WORSHIP of GOD
ALONE.
Dr. Khalifa finished his university education in
Egypt, graduating with honor degree from Ain
Shams University, College of Agriculture, before coming to the
United states in 1959, where he continued his higher education. He
received his Master Degree in Biochemistry from Arizona State University
and his Ph.D. from University of California, Riverside. He held several jobs
in the United States and in the Middle East. All his jobs were in his field
of Biochemistry including his work as a senior advisor in Agriculture
and Biochemistry for the United Nations.
Early on, during his life in the USA he was active in the Muslim communities
where he lived. He published few Islamic newsletters and publications.
He was still attached to the teachings of Islam (Submission) as he learned
it from his father as well as the Sufi teachings he was brought
up with. He went back to Egypt to work for few years after finishing
his PhD before settling in the USA with his wife and two children. He always
maintained his Islamic religious activities and appreciated by
many who got to know him closely and even adopted his name, e.g. Ahmad
Rashad, the former Minnesota Vikings wide receiver/sportscaster.
After many years in the USA and after reading different English
translations of the Quran, he was not happy with any single one, specially
that his mother tongue was Arabic, the original language of the Quran..All
these translations had some violation of some of the basic teachings of the
Quran. None of those who translated the Quran spoke
Arabic as his mother tongue. Dr. Khalifa was also met with
a challenge from his children, while studying Quran with them. They asked
him about the meaning of the letters at the beginning of Sura 2 in the Quran,
i.e., A,L, M. He did not have an immediate answer for them and did not find
a good answer with all the Muslim scholars he asked. He started searching
the Islamic text books and references, but he never was satisfied with any
of the explanations. The closest explanation he could accept was that these
letters represent the miracle of the Quran .
Since his job at that time required contact with the computer he was
inspired into using the computer to study the Quran and
its mysterious letters (initials) at the beginning of the
chapters of the Quran. He decided to put all the Arabic Quran in the Computer
and specifically study these initials.
He also decided to begin his own translation of the Quran.With his mother
tongue being Arabic, he began to translate the Arabic Quran into, the
best available to date, English translation of the Quran. None
of his predecessors, for whom he read translations, actually spoke
the language of the Quran, i.e., Arabic.
Dr. Khalifa's study of the Quran with the computer, the first of its kind
then, resulted in the discovery of one of the greatest miracles of the Quran,
as God described it in 74:35. This miracle is based on number 19, mentioned
in sura 74.
MATHEMATICAL MIRACLE OF THE
QURAN .
He published the results in several books, magazines and newspapers, and
gave many lectures in many countries of the Muslim world. The Muslim scholars
and governments cheered him and treated him like a hero and supported the
new discoveries in the Quran.
The momentous discovery that "19" is the common denominator of the Mathematical
Miracle of the Quran became a reality in January, 1974. This was coinciding
with Zul-Hijjah 1393 A.H. The Quran was revealed in 13 B.H. (Before Hijrah).
This makes the number of years from the revelation of the Quran to the discovery
of its miracle (in 1974), 1393+13=1406 years. It was more than interesting
to notice that 1406 = 19 X 74. The only time number 19 was mentioned in the
Quran is in sura 74. The correlation between 19X74 lunar years and 1974 solar
years could not escape notice, especially with number 19 mentioned only in
sura 74.
.
Dr. Khalifa continued his service to the Muslim community and continued his
Islamic studies. The Mathematical Miracle of the Quran provided a physical
proof beyond doubt that the Quran is the word of God.
MATHEMATICAL MIRACLE OF THE
QURAN .
Through his work, research and study, Dr. Khalifa
re-confirmed what God has been saying about the Quran
(1) is complete, perfect and fully detailed, (see 6:19, 38, 114, 115; 50:45)
(2) is he ONLY acceptable Hadith, (see 7:185, 10:36, 31:6, 39:23, 45:6, 52:34,
68:44, 77:50, 39:29..., etc.).
(3) Quran called on the Prophet Muhammed to deliver, preach, live and rule
by the Quran ALONE, (see 5:48-50).
With his clear understanding of the Quran and the fact that the
hadiths books are vastly
corrupted, Dr. Khalifa delivered his brave and Quran-supported understanding
to the Muslim community. He proclaimed that Quran is the ONLY acceptable
law in this great religion. He also emphasized the fact that all the known
hadiths books are corrupted beyond recognition
and can only be used for its historical value and not for religious guidance
or laws.
Dr. Khalifa called on the Muslims to follow the Quran alone and to disregard
all the fabrications and
lies that filled
the Hadith and Sunna books. Dr. Khalifa did not consider the angry reaction
of the traditional Muslim scholars and their followers. Dr. Khalifa felt
that the truth is more important than the fear of the people's reaction or
its result. The Muslim scholars, shocked by his stand after they supported
him and his Mathematical discoveries in the Quran, considered him a great
risk for their traditional teachings. The risk was specially greater after
he received a world wide recognition and support for his discoveries of the
Mathematical Miracle of the Quran.
When Dr. Khalifa's view about Quran alone was published,
QURAN, HADITH AND
ISLAM, a campaign of intimidation, insults, fabrications,
and accusations of misconduct against him started. Many of the Muslim Scholars
who cheered him for the Mathematical Miracle of the Quran tried to play down
its significance even at the expense of the truth. Despite the fierce attacks
by the traditionalists on his views that was totally and only Quranic, Dr.
Khalifa refused to change his position. He was even offered a large sum of
money by one of the Royal Governments in the Middle East to change his position
but he refused. He believed that the truth cannot be bought by any sum of
money and that the truth belongs only to God ALONE.
During his life in serving the Muslim community, he published one of the
best English translations of the
Quran available to us today. He never forgot to acknowledge the help
and contribution to his translation of some of his close friends and associates.
Some of them are still active in
preaching the same message of worshipping God alone and following the Quran
alone. Even those who criticize his translation for some of its errors still
admit to its clarity, simplicity and pure guidance.
Dr. Khalifa called his translation of the Quran "Authorized English version."
In doing so, he was clearly declaring his defiance to any man-made authority
in giving the permission to translate the Quran, such as those called Islamic
councils, committees, government agents or centers.
Many of these places consider themselves as having a monopoly on giving the
authorization to translate the Quran. Dr. Khalifa flatly rejected such man-made
authorization and strongly believed that such authorization belongs only
to the author of the Quran Himself, God.
With this belief in his mind, he went ahead with his translation, seeking
only the approval and acceptance of God ALONE and called it, "Authorized
English Version"
Few years before his death, Dr. Khalifa declared that he is the messenger
of the covenant ,
Messenger of the
Covenant, prophesied in the Quran in 3:81. He presented a
lengthy document with proofs
of his messengership from the Quran. He defended the fact that the Prophet
Muhammed was the LAST Prophet according to the Quran but not the LAST messenger,
(The
Difference between Prophet and Messenger ) also
according to the Quran, see 33:40. He emphasized the fact that God
is teaching us that, the Prophet Muhammed was one of the prophets who took
the
covenant mentioned in 3:81. The Prophet Muhammed took it along with the other
prophets as per 33:7. Dr. Khalifa put the proofs of his messengership in
the appendix of his translation of the Quran for those who would seek such
proofs.
He challenged the Muslim scholars in their definition of the word
prophet and
messenger. Their definition has been totally opposite to what God teaches
in the Quran. See 3:81; 3:79; 6:89; 29:27; 45:16; 57:26; 19:51; 19:54...,
etc. He declared that a messenger of God would advocate the worship of God
alone and not ask for wage. See 10:72; 11:29; 11:51; 26:109; 26:127;
26:145.....etc. He asked everybody to verify his Quranic
proof. See 17:36.
In their refusal to listen to the word of God in the Quran, many of the Muslim
scholars and their followers increased the campaign of attacks on Dr. Khalifa
and on his message. The message that calls on the believers to go back to
the Quran and to reject the fabrications and lies that filled the Hadiths
and Sunna books. They failed to tackle the issues or defend their wrongdoings
that contradict the Quranic commandments. They tried to assail Dr. Khalifa's
character and falsely accused him of insulting the Prophet Muhammed. They
falsely accused him of declaring himself a prophet. This was done despite
him clearly admitting to the Quranic fact that Muhammed was the LAST prophet.
They attributed many lies to him, to divert the people away from his call
on the Muslims to go back to the Quran, the GREAT book they deserted, see
25:30.
Like Prophet Muhammed before him, who has been attacked
on the Internet with all kinds of
false accusations, Dr. Khalifa was also accused, by what
seems to be a pre-arranged scheme,
of sexual
misconduct with allegations that he adamantly denied.
These allegations stemmed from the nature of a U. N. project he was
conducting as a biochemist to study human body aura. His
accusations, his denial and their insistence on repeating
it, were just more examples of how traditional Muslims
fail to follow the Quran alone, as seen in their
failure to follow
the commandments of God in the Quran in such circumstances.
This incident, however, did expose the hypocrites and their allies,
who still sing the false accusations in their fading hope of diverting
the people away from his message of Quran ALONE, GOD ALONE.
These accusations are no different from the accusations on the Internet
of prophet Muhammed of sexual misconduct and abuse that can be
seen on many anti-Islamic sites. Such sites are all lies and meant
to insult Islam (Submission) and the belief in ONE GOD and
His book the Quran ALONE.
After they failed in assailing his character and in diverting the people
away from his call to go back to the Quran, they
worked hard to call for his murder
and to consider him apostate. In February 19, 1989 a group
of 38 scholars (38=19X2) met in Saudi Arabia to discuss the issue and
position of of Salman Rushdi. They issued a fatwa (a religious decree)
that made the headline news in Muslim countries,
as well as the Free world Media. The fatwa
was very interesting: "both Rashad Khalifa and Salman Rushdi are apostate."
The world then knew Salman Rushdi but few knew who was
Rashad? Consequently, the issued fatwas meant a calling for
Rashad Khalifa's assassination. This assassinated took
place in January, 1990. For this task, a group of Black Muslims named
Fuqara were used by international terrorist forces operating from Pakistan
and Saudi Arabia. The FBI discovered later that the group Fuqara was
related to the group that bombed the World Trade Center on
September, 11, 2001, they are related to Al-Qaeda
and Usama Bin Laden
Click here . By assasinating him. they were hoping
to put an end to that strong Quranic message of God ALONE and Quran ALONE,
something that never happened and on the contrary shed more
light on Dr. Khalifa and his message.
His death was a reminder of the Quranic fact that is well presented in 2:87;
"We gave Moses the scripture, and subsequent
to him we sent other
messengers,and we gave Jesus, son of Mary, profound miracles and
supported him with the Holy Spirit.
Is it not a fact that
EVERY
TIME a messenger went to you
with
anything you disliked, your ego caused you to be arrogant? Some of
them you
REJECTED,
and some of them you
KILLED."
2:87
His assassins and those behind them never realized that, NEITHER Dr. Khalifa's
discovery of the Mathematical Miracle of the Quran NOR his message, belonged
to him, but rather to the AUTHOR of the QURAN HIMSELF. While humans, including
prophets and messengers, come
and go, God and His message are eternal.
Dr. Khalifa's message is alive today as much as during his life, and is getting
stronger everyday. It has been touching the hearts of the true believers
of all the religions in the world who usually
find the truth by reading the Quran. This is the same message since the day
Adam was put on this Earth, and the day the truth came out of the prophet
Muhammed's mouth. Those who tried and those who have been trying to put out
God's light will never succeed. 9:32 and 61:8.
[61:8] They wish to put out GOD's light with their mouths.
But
GOD insists upon perfecting His light, in spite of the
disbelievers.
[61:9] He has sent His messenger with the guidance and
the true
religion, and will make it dominate all religions, in
spite of the idol worshipers.
*********************************************************
DR. RASHAD KHALIFA AND THE MAIN ISSUES:
(1) Dr. Khalifa produced one of the best, if not the best, English translation
of the Quran that we have today. You have to read it yourself and compare
it with other translations to appreciate it. Comparing
the different translations of the Quran.
(2) Dr. Khalifa's book "Quran, Hadiths and Islam" had discussed the issues
of Hadiths and Sunna from the Quranic perspective and placed them where they
belong. His call to follow the Quran ALONE as the ONLY source of guidance
and law in this great religion is discussed
with proofs from the Quran. Hadiths and Sunna books have their own historical
value and should be looked at as such. We should, however, keep in mind the
vast corruption that is clearly reflected in these books. You can download
the translation at this
site.QURAN, HADITH
AND ISLAM
(3) The Mathematical Miracle of the Quran is presented in some books of Dr.
Khalifa as well as in his translation of the Quran. Many files in AOL library
as well as on the Submission Home Page on the Internet, discuss that vast
Miracle. This miracle varies from the simple facts that
can be calculated by any person to the ones that need an advanced computer
program, but there is something for every level.Because of their fear of
the miracle, many scholars and their followers, have been attacking it, and
trying to confuse the people about it. Some of them are being paid for doing
just that, hoping to stop the regular person from finding out for his/herself
the truth of the matter. Some of the files in AOL library has debates for
and against the miracles.
MATHEMATICAL
MIRACLE OF THE QURAN
(4) The Mathematical Miracle of the Quran proved beyond doubt that every
sura, verse, word, and letter in the Quran have been under the control and
the protection of the Author of the Quran. This miracle proved itself as
it singled out, the ONLY two verses that have been
always suspicious to be an addition to the Quran, that is verses 9:128, 129.
These two verses have been historically known to be the ONLY questionable
verses in the collection of the Quran after the death of the Prophet Muhammed.
It was not Dr. Khalifa who made these verses
suspicious, nor was he aware that the Mathematical Miracle of the Quran will
single them out. The Muslim scholars knew for over 1400 years that these
two verses were suspicious and listed them as such in the Islamic history
books. Many Muslims have never been aware that these two verses were suspicious
and were surprised to know they are for the first time. They are even more
surprised to know that the mathematical miracle proved these two verses to
be a human addition. This discovery proved that God kept his promise from
the minute the Quran was collected, but the human being was the one who wronged
his soul. To understand this issue, I strongly recommend that you read the
files about the two false
verses .
(5) OBEY GOD AND OBEY THE MESSENGER:
Contrary to what the Muslim scholars and their followers falsely accused
Dr. Khalifa of, he always called on the true believers to follow and obey
the prophet Muhammed. He stressed the fact that obeying him and following
his teachings, is to follow his message. This means the
Quran, and not the teachings written by other men, i.e., the hadiths books
that were contaminated by many lies and fabrications. The first few pages
of his book, "Quran, hadiths and Islam was dedicated to that theme, "NO SALVATION
WITHOUT OBEYING THE MESSENGER" See 3:31-32; 24:56; 72:23...etc.
(6) THE PROPHET MUHAMMED was represented by the Quran alone, see 5:48-50.
He was forbidden from uttering any religious instructions other than the
Quran, see 69:40-47 and was ordered NEVER to deviate from the Quran, see
17:73-75. The prophet Muhammed was ordered to deliver the Quran ALONE, without
the least alteration and never to fabricate anything else, see 10:15-18.
The example of the prophet Muhammed is well kept in the Quran, the book that
God promised to preserve and protect.
(7) ONE GOD AND ONE SOURCE: Dr. Khalifa stressed the fact that throughout
the Quran, the message is clear to the believers that Quran should be the
ONLY SOURCE of religious teachings. Furthermore, God is telling us in the
Quran that the acceptance of any other source for
religious guidance equals the setting up of OTHER GODS BESIDE GOD, see 6:19
and 17:39.
(8) ABUSE OF THE QURAN: It was also stressed that many scholars and their
followers abused the Quran to idolize the prophet Muhammed against his will.
Verses like 33:56 have been used to glorify and commemorate the prophet instead
of God. In doing so, the scholars
ignored the true meaning of the verse and disregarded other verses that clarify
its meaning, e.g., 33:43 and 9:103. It was also stressed that the abuse of
verses like 33:21 to justify following the hadiths, does not stand the test
of the Quran. The Quran teaches us that the prophet Muhammed is represented
by the Quran ALONE, see 5:48-50. It also teaches that in Abraham and those
who believed in him a good example as in Muhammed. Dr. Khalifa reminded everyone
that the prophet Muhammed was a good example for all of us, because he followed
the Quran and nothing but the Quran. Those who seek to follow the example
of the prophet Muhammed can do that by following the Quran alone.
(9) THE TRUE LOVE OF MUHAMMED is to follow his message, the Quran and nothing
but the Quran. Following the books of Hadiths and Sunna, does not represent
love for the prophet but rather represents defiance for God and His messenger.
Both God and His messenger
ordered the Muslims to follow only the Quran.
(10) INTERCESSION IS A MYTH: Quoting the Quran, Dr. Khalifa presented the
fact that God is teaching us that INTERCESSION belongs only to God (39:44).
Also, on the LAST DAY there will be no intercession, see 2:254. In 21:28,
God is telling us clearly that the
prophets cannot intercede except on behalf of those already saved by God,
while the prophets themselves worry about their own fate. In defiance of
the Quran, the Muslim scholars promised the Muslims that the prophet Muhammed
will intercede on their behalf on the LAST DAY to save them the retribution
of God. They ignored many verses that contradict the hadiths books, 9:114,
11:46, 111:1-3, 9:80, 2:48, 2:123, 6:51, 6:70, 6:94, 7:53, 10:3.......etc.
As we can see from the Quran, neither Noah, Abraham nor Muhammed could intercede
on the behalf of
their loved ones, so how can they intercede on the behalf of total strangers?!
(11) THE SOLE FUNCTION OF THE PROPHET was to deliver the Quran, see 42:48;
13:40; 5:99-100; 16:35; 16:82; 24:54; 29:18; 36:17; & 64:12
(12) THE PROPHET MUHAMMED DID NOT EXPLAIN, INTERPRET OR ANTICIPATE THE QURAN.
HE ONLY DELIVERED IT AND FOLLOWED IT. God is the One who teaches the Quran,
55:1-2. He is the One to explain it, 75:16-19. Although many Muslim scholars
and their followers claim that the Hadiths books explain the Quran they ignore
the
fact that the Hadiths and Sunna books do not even have explanations for most
of the Quran.
(13) The Prophet Abraham is the FOUNDER OF ISLAM, see 22:78, 2:135 and 3:67-68.
The Prophet Muhammed was told to follow the religion of Abraham, see 16:123.
Who founded
Islam?
(14) ISLAM IS BASED ON TWO THINGS; 1-THE QURAN BROUGHT TO US VIA MUHAMMED
AND, 2- RELIGIOUS PRACTICES THAT CAME TO US VIA ABRAHAM. See 2:127-128; 2:125;
21:72-73; 22:26-27.
These religious practices included Shahada (to bear witness that there is
no god besides God), Salat (contact prayers), Zakat (obligatory Charity),
fasting and Hajj (pilgrimage).
(15) ALL OF THE ISLAM RELIGIOUS PRACTICES WERE CORRUPTED AFTER THE PROPHET'S
DEATH BY THE FABRICATIONS AND LIES FOUND IN THE HADITHS AND SUNNA BOOKS:
In his extensive writings and lectures, Dr. Khalifa showed from the QURAN
ALONE how the corruption affected every single religious practice of Islam,
including Shahada, ablution, Salat, Zakat fasting and Hajj.
He called on the true believers to purify all religious practice to its original
form as per the Quran ALONE, devoting every one of them to GOD ALONE. The
prophet Muhammed was a follower of Quran ALONE and he could not have deviated
from it.
The corruption
of religions and Innovations in Islam.
(16) ONE AUTHENTIC HADITH ABOUT MUHAMMED: It may be to the surprise of many
to learn that God gave us an authentic Hadith about the messenger. This has
to be the ONLY TRUE authentic hadith about the messenger. THIS ONLY TRUE
authentic Hadith that we were given, was given by God in His book, the Quran
in 25:30. God Himself told us that the messenger will complain on the Day
of Judgment that his people deserted the QURAN. He will NOT be complaining
that the people deserted Hadiths and Sunna books.
(17) THE ONLY LEGITIMATE HADITH: God used the word "HADITH" in the Quran
frequently, and many years before the people used the same word to describe
sayings attributed to the Prophet Muhammed. In His book, the Quran, God told
us that the ONLY
LEGITIMATE HADITH is His Hadith, the Quran See 7:185, 10:36, 31:6, 39:23,
45:6, 52:34, 68:44, 77:50, 39:29..., etc.
(18) TWO UNFORTUNATE FACTS OF LIFE that deserve a lot of reflection;
1- The majority of people are disbelievers, see 12:103.
2- The majority of those who believe in God do not do so without committing
idol-worship which leads to Hell if maintained till death. See 12:106.
Committing idol-worship is as easy as following the wrong opinion of the
scholars instead of following the Quran, See 9:31.
(19) ZAKAT, THE OBLIGATORY CHARITY is a prerequisite for redemption, see
7:156. Zakat must be given away "on the day of harvest," 6:14, this means
the day we receive our income. Zakat, like all the other religious practices
in Islam, came down to us from Abraham
and has been accepted without dispute as 2.5% of the net income. The specified
recipients of Zakat in the Quran are the parents, relatives, orphans, the
poor, and the traveling alien in this order.
(20) THE END OF THE WORLD was never meant to be hidden permanently, as God
told us in the Quran. It was the scholars' misunderstanding of the Quran
that gave them the impression that the END of the WORLD will stay hidden
to the end. Rather, God is teaching us that He will reveal it at the appropriate
time, (7:187) and that its time is ALMOST hidden in the FINAL scripture to
the world, the Quran, see 20:15
The Messenger of the Covenant and the Mathematical Miracle of the Quran,
by God leave, pointed to the time of the End of the world as found in the
Quran.
(21) THE AGE OF 40 IS THE AGE OF RESPONSIBILITY; see 46:15. It is the age
after which the mature adult is responsible for his/her choice, GOD ALONE
or not.
(22) The Quran informs us that Jesus was a human messenger of God, whose
sole mission was to deliver God's message. Contrary to the Muslim scholars,
Quran is telling us that Jesus is now dead, 4:171; 5:75; 5:117. His soul
was taken to Heaven before his enemies can get to his body, 4:158.
Those who consider Jesus to be God, or son of God or part of a trinity are
"pagans," (5:17,72, 73).No-where in the Quran does God inform us that Jesus
is coming back to this Earth, as his mission was completed by delivering
his message before God took his soul.. God is teaching us that the soul that
is taken to Heaven is not permitted back to this Earth. See 23:100.
(23) The Quran is teaching us, and contrary to what the Muslim scholars have
been teaching, that Muhammed WAS NOT ILLITERATE, and that he wrote the Quran
with his own hands with the other writers. Remember that the first revelation
to Muhammed was "READ" (96:1-4),
and the second revelation was the "PEN" (68:1). This issue was discussed
in details from the Quran in Dr. Khalifa's comments.
Prophet
Muhammad wrote God's revelations with his own
hand.
(24) GOD NEVER ORDERED ABRAHAM TO KILL HIS SON ISMAIL: God, the Most Merciful,
never violates His own law, (7:28). The Quran NEVER said that it was God
who ordered Abraham to kill his son, but it was rather a dream that Abraham
thought it was from God. God would not order a father to kill his beloved
son. On the contrary, it was God who saved Abraham and Ismail from Satan's
plot (37:107), and He told Abraham; "You believed the dream" (37:105). God
never advocates sin (7:28)
God never ordered Abraham
to sacrifice his son.
(25) THE PUNISHMENT OF THE THIEVES ACCORDING TO THE QURAN IS TO CUT (i.e.,
to mark their hands), and NOT to CUT OFF (amputate) their hands. It was the
Muslim scholars in their fabricated Hadiths books who invented the punishment
to amputate the hand of the thieve. The Quran is talking about "cut" and
not "cut off." The punishment of the thieve as mentioned in 5:38 is clarified
by the use of the same words, i.e., cutting the hands in 12:31. In both places,
cutting is different than cut off. Notice that 5:38 and 12:31 also share
the same mathematical equivalence, i.e., 5+38 =43 =12+31. No co-incidence.
Islamic Justice
system as per Quran and Quran Alone.
(26) STONING TO DEATH OF THE MARRIED ADULTERESS is a satanic invention and
against the teachings of the Quran. GOD GAVE US A CLEAR LAW IN SURA 24. The
punishment for adultery is whipping in public, a hundred symbolic lashes.
The basic punishment
here is social pressure and scandalizing the criminal. Whipping in public
achieves this goal. See 24:1-10. Those who were corrupted by the teachings
of the altered Bible introduced this non-Quranic punishment to Islam in the
form of Hadith.
(27) QURAN DISCOURAGES CAPITAL PUNISHMENT (2:179). "The free for the
free, the slave for the slave, and the female for the female" (2:178). The
strict observance of this equivalence is the key in saving lives and is the
expected behavior of the true believers. The
Quran prefers that a murderer compensates the victim's family. When God speaks,
He means every word He says.

(28) Dr. Khalifa presented his views from the Quran about, 'THE PURPOSE OF
OUR LIVES; and WHY WE ARE HERE.' Special emphasis was made on the HEAVENLY
dispute, 38:69, and its relation to the creation of Adam and the descent
of both Satan and Adam to the Earth.
(29) WHO IS YOUR GOD?: Although most of the people will proclaim that their
God is the creator of the Heaven and Earth, 29:61; 29:63; 31:25; 39:38; 43:9;
43:87, they only are giving lip service. Quran is teaching us that 'YOUR
GOD IS WHOEVER OR WHATEVER
OCCUPIES YOUR MIND MOST OF THE TIME.'Your god can be your children (7:190),
your spouse (9:24), your business (18:35), your Imam, or religious scholars
(9:31) or your ego
(25:43).
Who
is your God?

These were ONLY some of the issues that is raised, discussed or brought
forth from the Quran by Dr. R. Khalifa. As you have seen, all the issues
are Quranic and supported by Quranic proofs. Those who hate the truth will
always try to distort the Quranic issues brought to our
attention by the messenger of the covenant. This is but history repeats itself.
The disbelievers and hypocrites will try as always to put out God's light,
but we know better:
[9:32] They want to put out GOD's light with their mouths,
but
GOD insists upon perfecting His light, in spite of the
disbelievers.
[61:8] They wish to put out GOD's light with their mouths.
But
GOD insists upon perfecting His light, in spite of the
disbelievers.
