The Funeral Prayer in Submission (Islam)

The funeral (Janaaza) prayer is mentioned in the Quran in [9:84]   [9:84] You shall not observe the funeral prayer for any of them when he dies, nor shall you stand at his grave. They have disbelieved in GOD and His messenger, and died in a state of wickedness. So, if the deceased does not fall into the category of people mentioned in the verse, then it is permissible to offer a funeral…

Perfect Happiness: Now and Forever

Perfect Happiness: Now and Forever One of the most elusive objectives of every human being is “Happiness.” The Quran reveals the secret of attaining perfect happiness in this life and forever. We learn from the Quran that happiness is an exclusive quality of the soul. Thus, a body that attains all the material successes it longs for—money, power, fame, etc.—often belongs to an unhappy…

Old Trick by Satan’s Agents:”You worship Rashad”, they say!!! – By Dr. Rashad Khalifa

(This post was originally published by Dr. Rashad Khalifa in Jan 1990 Submitters Perspective)   The hypocrites say: "You idolize Rashad Khalifa by talking about him. You must ignore him!!!" Thus, they incur the lowest pit of Hell (4:145) by resorting to extremes: either idolize the Prophet Muhammad by mentioning his name in their Salat prayers and disobeying Quran, or attack God's…

Direction of Qiblah from North American cities (U.S. and Canada)

Four Sacred Months of Hajj

  Question: How do we know which four months are correct? We learn from the Quran that Hajj shall be observed during the specified Sacred Months (2:197; 9:2, 36). It is also clear from the Quran that the four Sacred Months are continuous, and the Sacred Months and the regular months are not to be alternated (9:37). One of the duties of God's messenger of the Covenant (Rashad Khalifa),…

Insurance prohibited in Submission (Islam)

We learn from God in the Quran that insurance is prohibited for the believers due to the following reasons: It is a game of chance ( 2:219 and 5:90) Shows lack of confidence in God (3:160 ,5:23, 10:84 and so on) And demonstrates not knowing God (10:61, 4:126 and so on). If you are forced by circumstances without being deliberate or malicious then…

Ramadan – The month of Fasting

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. Every year in the month of Ramadan, the majority of Muslims (Submitters) fast from dawn to sunset, abstaining from food, drink, and sexual relations. Those who are sick, pregnant, elderly, or traveling, can make up an equal number of days later in the year. If they are physically unable to do this, they can feed a needy person for every…

Fasting Emphasized and Modified*   [2:183]  O you who believe, fasting is decreed for you, as it was decreed for those before you, that you may attain salvation.   *2:183-187 Like all duties in Submission, fasting was decreed through Abraham (22:78, Appendices 9 & 15). Prior to revelation of the Quran, sexual intercourse was prohibited throughout the fasting period. This rule…

Dress Code for women in Islam

  The Truth is Unveiled God Almighty reminds in the Quran that He has placed no hardship on us, men and women both, in practicing our religion: "You shall strive for the cause of God as you should strive for His cause.

Obeying God and His messengers

God tells us in the Quran that we must obey God and His messenger if we have to be successful. We all have egos and that is why we are here. God sends a messenger so we can kill our egos and go back to God. People may call us Rashadians , but we must follow God’s order in order to be redeemed. [49:1]  O you who believe, do not place your opinion above that of GOD and His messenger. You shall…

Quran: Visual Presentation of the Miracle

There now exists physical evidence for a message from God to the world. Employing the ultimate in scientific proof, namely, mathematics, the evidence comes in the form of an extremely intricate code. Every word and letter in the Quran is placed in accordance with a mathematical design that is clearly beyond human ability. The miracle is based on the #19 and God describes it in Sura 74 verse 35 as…

Music and the Arts: Not Prohibited by God

A common question among those who have been exposed to a traditional / conservative Muslim environment is whether music or the arts are prohibited (haram) in Islam. The answer is simply, no they are not. If we read the Quran, we do not find any reference to a prohibition of music or the arts. God, the best Designer (Quran 59:24), has created living beings with musical abilities, and has placed…

It is profound indeed that Galileo made his famous statement: “Mathematics is the language with which God created the universe.” A plethora of scientific findings have now shown that the number 19 represents…

Appendix 37 – Criminal Justice

Appendix 37 - Criminal Justice If a thief steals a thousand dollars from you, and they put him in prison, what do you get? If the thief has a wife and children, what is their crime? Why should they be deprived of their father? The Quran solves this problem, as well as the problems associated with the criminal justice systems prevalent in today's world. Equivalence is the Law [2:178-179] According…

Appendix 35 – Drugs & Alcohol

Appendix 35 - Drugs & Alcohol There is no compromise whatsoever regarding illicit drugs and alcoholic beverages; they are called "abominations and the work of Satan" (5:90). In 2:219 and 5:90, we see that "intoxicants, gambling, the idols' altars, and games of chance" are strictly prohibited. The word used for intoxicants is "Khamr" from the root word…

Appendix 34 – Virginity

Appendix 34 - Virginity Sons and daughters of the true believers must be taught that their happiness throughout their lives depends on following God's law and preserving their chastity. This means that they must keep themselves for their spouses only, and never allow anyone else to touch them in a sexual manner (23:5-6, 24:30, 33:35, 70:29-30).…

The Quran sets the age of…

Appendix 31 – Evolution: Divinely Controlled

Appendix 31 - Evolution: Divinely Controlled We learn from the Quran that evolution is a divinely designed fact: Life began in water: "From water we initiated all living things." (21:30, 24:45) Humans not descendants of monkeys: "He started the creation of man mud."…

Appendix 30 – Polygamy

Appendix 30 - Polygamy Polygamy was a way of life until the Quran was revealed 1400 years ago. When the earth was young and under-populated, polygamy was one way of populating it and bringing in the human beings needed to carry out God's plan. By the time the Quran was revealed, the world had been sufficiently populated, and the Quran put down the first…

Appendix 29 – The Missing Basmalah

Appendix 29 - The Missing Basmalah Every sura in the Quran opens with the statement "In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful," known as the Basmalah, with the exception of Sura 9. This conspicuous absence of the Basmalah from Sura 9 has been an intriguing feature of the Quran for 14 centuries. Many theories have been…

Appendix 28 – Muhammad Wrote God’s Revelations With His Own Hand

Appendix 28 - Muhammad Wrote God's Revelations With His Own Hand The first revelation was "Read," and included the statement "God teaches by means of the pen" (96:1-4), and the second revelation was "The Pen" (68:1). The only function of the pen is to write. Ignorant Muslim scholars of the first two centuries after the Quran could not understand the Quran's challenge…

Appendix 27 – Who Is Your God?

Appendix 27 - Who Is Your God? Most people are outraged upon hearing this question. "What do you mean, `Who is your god?' they ask, `My god is the Creator of the heavens and the earth.' " And most of these people will be shocked to find out that their proclamation that their god is the Creator of the heavens and the earth is no more than lip…

Appendix 26 - The Three Messengers of Islam This Appendix provides the Quranic mathematical evidence that [1] Abraham was the original messenger of Islam, i.e, Submission (22:78), [2] Muhammad was the scripture delivering messenger (47:2), and [3] Rashad is the purifying and consolidating messenger who delivered the religion's authenticating proof (3:81, & Appendix…

Appendix 25 – End Of The World

Appendix 25 - End Of The World   (God is) the Knower of the future; He does not permit anyone to unveil such knowledge. Only through the messengers that He chooses does He reveal future and past events." [ 72:27 ]     Among the duties charged to me as God's Messenger of the Covenant is unveiling the end of the…

Appendix 24 – Tampering With the Word of God

Appendix 24 - Tampering With the Word of God    A superhuman mathematical system pervades the Quran and serves to guard and authenticate every element in it. Nineteen years after the Prophet's death, some scribes injected two false verses at the end of Sura 9, the last sura revealed in Medina. The evidence presented…

Appendix 22 – Jesus

Appendix 22 - Jesus The Quran, informs us that Jesus was a human messenger of God whose sole mission was to deliver God's message; he never possessed any power, and is now dead (4:171, 5:75, 117). Those who consider Jesus to be God, or Son of God, or part of a trinity are "pagans" (5:17, 72, 73). Outstanding Christian scholars have reached these same conclusions (THE MYTH OF GOD…

Appendix 21 – Satan: Fallen Angel

Appendix 21 - Satan: Fallen Angel In God's kingdom, certain creatures are necessarily given the powers needed to perform their duties. Satan believed that his God-given powers qualified him to function as an independent god. As evidenced by the prevalence of misery, disease, accidents, and war in his dominion, we now know that Satan is incompetent. The Quran clearly states that Satan was an…

Appendix 20 – Quran: Unlike Any Other Book

Appendix 20 - Quran: Unlike Any Other Book The Quran is God's Final Testament to the world, and He has pledged to protect it from the slightest distortion (15:9). Thus, the Quran is surrounded by invisible forces that guard it and serve it (13:39, 41:42, 42:24). Unlike any other book, the Quran is taught by God (55:1-2); He teaches us what we need at the time we need it. This is why we read the…

Appendix 18 – Quran: All You Need For Salvation

Appendix 18 - Quran: All You Need For Salvation The words of the Quran speak in 19:64, saying, "We come down in accordance with the commandments of your Lord. To Him belongs the past, present, and the future. Your Lord never forgets." God did not forget, for example, to tell us how to sleep (18:109, 31:27). Yet, the fabricators of such false doctrine as Hadith & Sunna have come up…

Appendix 17 – Death

Appendix 17 - Death Death is a great mystery to most people. Not so for the students of the Quran. We learn that death is exactly like sleeping; complete with dreams (6:60, 40:46). The period between death and resurrection passes like one night of sleep (2:259; 6:60; 10:45; 16:21; 18:11, 19, 25; 30:55). At the moment of death, everyone knows his or her destiny; Heaven or Hell. For the…

Appendix 16 – Dietary Prohibitions

Appendix 16 - Dietary Prohibitions The Quran teaches that God is extremely displeased with those who prohibit anything that was not specifically prohibited in the Quran (16:112-116). The upholding of any prohibitions not specifically mentioned in the Quran is tantamount to idolatry (6:142-152). Such prohibitions represent some other god(s) besides God. If you worship God ALONE, you will uphold…

Appendix 15 – Religious Duties: A Gift From God

Appendix 15 - Religious Duties: A Gift From God When Abraham implored God in 14:40, he did not ask for wealth or health; the gift he implored for was: "Please God, make me one who observes the contact prayers (Salat)." The religious duties instituted by God are in fact a great gift from Him. They constitute the nourishment required for the growth and…

Appendix 14 – Predestination

Appendix 14 - Predestination We are absolutely free to believe or disbelieve in God. It is God's will that we will (18:29, 25:57, 73:19, 74:37, 76:29, 78:39, 80:12). After committing our original sin (Appendix 7), God gave us a chance to denounce our crime and accept His absolute authority (33:72). But we decided that we wanted to see a demonstration of Satan's competence as a god. Many people…

Appendix 13 – The First Pillar of Islam (Submission)

Appendix 13 - The First Pillar of Islam (Submission) "Laa Elaaha Ellaa Allah" (No god except God) Verse 3:18 states the First Pillar of Islam (Submission): "God bears witness that there is no other god besides Him, and so do the angels and those who possess knowledge." This most crucial pillar has been distorted. Millions of Muslims have…

Appendix 12 – Role of the Prophet Muhammad

Appendix 12 - Role of the Prophet Muhammad The Prophet's sole mission was to deliver Quran, the whole Quran, and nothing but Quran (3:20; 5:48-50, 92, 99; 6:19; 13:40; 16:35, 82; 24:54; 29:18; 42:48; 64:12). Delivering the Quran was such a momentous and noble mission that the Prophet did not have any time to do anything else. Moreover, the Prophet was enjoined…

Appendix 11 – The Day of Resurrection

Appendix 11 - The Day of Resurrection The horn is blown, whereupon everyone in the heavens and the earth is struck unconscious, except those spared by God. Then it is blown a second time, whereupon they rise up. [39:68] All generations of humans and jinns will be resurrected on this earth; about 150 billion of them. But we will not be earthbound. God…

Appendix 10 – God’s Usage of the Plural Tense

Appendix 10 - God's Usage of the Plural Tense In the English speaking world, where the trinity doctrine is prevalent, some people are intrigued by God's usage of the plural tense in the Quran. The overwhelming message of the Quran, where there is absolutely no compromise is that "GOD IS ONE" (2:133, 163; 4:171; 5:73; 6:19; 9:31; 12:39; 13:16; 14:48, 52; 16:22, 51; 18:110; 21:108; 22:34;…

Appendix 9 – Abraham: Original Messenger of Islam

Appendix 9 - Abraham: Original Messenger of Islam One of the prevalent myths is that Muhammad was the founder of Islam. Although Islam, total submission to God alone, is the only religion recognized by God since the time of Adam (3:19, 85), Abraham is reported in the Quran as the first user of the word "Islam" and the one who called us "Muslims" (22:78). Abraham's exemplary…

Appendix 8 – The Myth of Intercession

Appendix 8 - The Myth of Intercession To believe that anyone, other than God, can intercede on our behalf to have our sins forgiven or our wishes fulfilled, is to set up partners with God. This is idolatry. The Quran proclaims that "All intercession belongs to God" (39:44), and that there will be "no intercession on the Day of Judgment" (2:254). The myth of intercession is one…

Appendix 7 – Why Were We Created?

Appendix 7 - Why Were We Created?We are in this world because we committed a horrendous crime, and this life is our chance to redeem ourselves, denounce our crime, and rejoin God's kingdom.It all began a few billion years ago when "a feud arose in the Heavenly Society" (38:69). One of the high-ranking creatures, Satan, entertained…

Appendix 6 – Greatness of God

  Appendix 6 - Greatness of God   We learn from Verse 39:67 that God's greatness is far beyond human comprehension - the verse states that all seven universes are "folded within God's hand." Supported by the Quran's formidable mathematical code, we are taught that our universe is the smallest and innermost of seven universes (41:12, 55:33, 67:5, & 72:8-12). Meanwhile, our…

Appendix 5 – Heaven and Hell

Appendix 5 - Heaven and Hell The descriptions of Heaven and Hell throughout the Quran are allegorical. And the Quran tells us so whenever such descriptions occur as independent statements, not within a general subject. See 2:24-26, 13:35, and 47:15. The word "Mathal" (allegory) is used in these verses. Linguistically, the word "Mathal" in these verses can be removed, and we…

Appendix 4 – Why Was the Quran Revealed in Arabic?

Appendix 4 - Why Was the Quran Revealed in Arabic? We learn from 41:44 that the sincere believers have access to the Quran, regardless of their mother tongue. The disbelievers, on the other hand, are not permitted access to the Quran, even if they are professors of the Arabic language (17:45, 18:57, 41:44, & 56:79). Arabic is the most efficient language in the world, especially when it comes…
