0:11 LA ILLAHA ILLA ALLAH
0:25 ALHAMDU LILLAH. We praise God. Wa ASHHADU AN LA ILLAHA ILLA ALLAH WAHDAHU LA SHARIKA LAH.
0:33 And we bear witness that there is no god except the one true God.
0:38 It all began a few billion years ago when an angel named Satan
0:46 entertained supercilious thoughts that he can be a god besides God.
0:54 And God decided that one way of letting Satan find out is to call his bluff
1:02 and make him a god. Now, a god cannot be a god without two things: a dominion and constituents and to
1:16 provide Satan with a dominion, God created a billion galaxies containing a billion trillion stars
1:29 contained in a universe that is 26 billion light years across.
1:39 And to emphasize the insignificance
1:44 the insignificance of Satan's dominion to be which is the planet Earth,
1:52 God created six other universes even bigger than this one.
1:58 And then eventually, God told Satan that this little mote in the smallest and innermost universe
2:05 called planet Earth will be your dominion. God equipped the planet Earth with the means
2:13 to support life for plants, animals and humans. No other place in the universe is so equipped.
2:23 And to provide Satan with constituents, God created a minute creature from
2:31 clay, a lowly material, named him Adam and then God ordered the angels to fall prostrate before
2:40 Adam. They all did except for the haughty one. He refused. Now, this is God's mercy.
2:51 Had God punished Satan for his supercilious thoughts without exposing them, the angels
3:02 would have been really perplexed. Why... What did God do this for? Satan didn't
3:07 do anything because the angels are not aware of Satan's innermost thoughts like God is.
3:19 So, God exposed Satan as a haughty rebel.
3:26 And then told him that he will have this dominion and these constituents
3:35 the descendants of this creature Adam who happen to agree with Satan's point of view
3:40 namely that God alone is not enough. We have two points of view: God's point of view that
3:48 God alone is the absolute Lord and Master, no one else and then we have the other point of
3:57 view that God alone is not enough that we can have some other lords and masters besides God.
4:07 So, all the human beings, the descendants of Adam, who agree with Satan's point of view
4:14 were destined to be Satan's constituents.
4:19 Satan's constituents were not assigned to him
4:25 involuntarily. God consulted each one of us. He asked us "do you want to take a test where you
4:33 choose between My point of view and another point of view? Do you want to take a test where you choose
4:40 between Me as your only Lord and Master or to have another lord and master besides Me?"
4:51 Every constituent of Satan was consulted. Every single human being was consulted.
4:57 And we said "yes." The human being said "yes." Other creatures said "no." They were afraid.
5:05 We... there must have been incentives that made us agree to take the test.
5:15 One incentive is the fantastic, the awesome reward for those who make it, those who pass the test.
5:22 That is a positive incentive. The other reason probably was that we overestimated
5:27 our intelligence. We said "of course, we're gonna choose You. You know, it's gonna be
5:34 stupid if we choose anybody else. We're gonna take the test." You and I said that.
5:43 So, Satan's constituents were assigned to him after they... they chose with their
5:53 free will to take the test and after they decided to side with Satan's point of view.
6:02 Now, once this was agreed on, the agreement stipulated that every
6:09 human being will be born into this world with instinctive God-given knowledge about God.
6:19 In addition to this, God will send messages
6:23 and messengers to continuously remind the human being to worship God alone.
6:32 The other side, Satan is given, is allowed to reproduce every time a human being is
6:40 born. Every time a baby is born, Satan is allowed to reproduce. Another baby of Satan is
6:45 also born, at the same time. And will attach... this piece of Satan will attach itself to
6:53 the human being from birth to death and will continuously talk Satan's point of view to you
7:03 and me to the human being saying "God alone is not enough. You have to have Muhammad
7:10 or Jesus or Mary or this saint, also. They can help you, too. God alone is not enough."
7:18 And you with your instinctive knowledge and with the messages that you receive
7:24 are supposed to talk Satan's ambassador, representative who is your... he has your name.
7:33 You're supposed to talk Satan's representative into worshipping God Alone that Satan is wrong.
7:41 This companion is a descendent of Satan and he can go any way, either way, he or she. Same with you.
7:52 So, this is the agreement and this is the test that is happening, right now.
7:58 Immediately, Satan went to work on Adam
8:03 and Eve. They were living in paradise during their innocence
8:11 and you and I and all of us, we were in Adam and Eve.
8:20 And Satan fooled us and made us break God's law.
8:28 When I wrote a script for a movie, I showed this Universal conference of all the human beings
8:38 who are destined to come on this planet Earth
8:42 bearing witness that God alone will be our Lord and Master and then, I showed all these souls, all of
8:51 the human beings combining together. Symbolically, I made it look like a DNA molecule. All the souls
8:57 combined together in a DNA molecule and then this one United soul was thrust into Adam's clay body.
9:05 So, we were all... this is my understanding, my comprehension... we were all in Adam
9:13 and we all broke God's law. This is why we are here and this is exactly how the plan was to work.
9:21 So, eventually Satan fooled Adam, tricked him, made him break God's law and then Adam, Eve, Satan and
9:27 and all those who agreed with Satan... there seems to be a number of other angels maybe
9:34 who also fell with Satan became jinns. The definition of a jinn is a fallen angel. Your
9:43 companion is a jinn, a descendant of Satan, the father of all the jinns, or the first jinn.
9:56 Adam, Eve, Satan and anyone who agreed with Satan's point or who broke God's law
10:02 or agreed with Satan's point of view were sent to prison. Their prison is this universe, our universe, 26 billion light
10:12 years across. This is Satan... Satan's prison cell and is still small for him.
10:20 He can't go... he and his descendants cannot go beyond the smallest and innermost universe.
10:28 This is his prison cell.
10:33 And we read in the Quran that they continuously try to break, escape,
10:37 break out of it and go listen to the secrets in the other universes
10:42 and they can't because this is... this is a well-guarded universe, our universe.
10:51 Our universe again has a billion galaxies
10:56 and our neighbor galaxy next door is two million light years away. So, this shows you
11:05 the insignificance of Satan's dominion. The earth and everything on it, if it disappeared right now,
11:16 nothing will happen to God's domain. Nothing. You go to the edge of our galaxy, the Milky Way,
11:23 you will not even see the solar system let alone the planet Earth. You cannot see the
11:27 solar system which is four million miles across. You cannot see it from the edge of our universe.
11:36 Now, what I want to share with... this is an introduction only for the second KHUTBA
11:41 I want to share with you a personal experience that teaches all of us the limitations of Satan
11:51 and the whole idea of creating these seven universes and the whole human race.
11:58 Tooboo Ela Allah. Repent.
12:12 ALHAMDU LILLAH, we praise God. Wa ASHHADU AN LA ILAHA ILLA ALLAH WAHDAHU LA SHARIKA LAH.
12:18 and we bear witness that there is only one God. We worship only one God. We side with God's point of view
12:23 that God Alone is our Lord and Master, that there is no other creature, no
12:27 saint, no prophet, nobody can help us or harm us. Dead or alive. Only God is our Master and only God
12:36 hires and fires and gives health and happiness. Only God. What I want to share with you
12:47 is a conclusion
12:52 that is... that is very solid in my mind and the minds of most of you that Satan decided
12:59 since he is to whisper to us and talk us into accepting his point of view. This is the agreement.
13:10 That, he instead of wasting his time with the followers, he will capture the leaders.
13:18 the Pope. 900 million Catholics listen to the Pope. So, why should he waste his time with
13:24 900 million people when you can just capture one?
13:30 In Muslim countries religious schools
13:35 Al-Azhar in Egypt, for example
13:39 Children start going from... from first grade. Al-Azhar has from first grade to the Ph.D. level
13:47 and certain children will start Al-Azhar from the first grade and
13:52 Satan knows that these children will grow up to be "religious scholars"
13:59 who will lead the people and will teach them the religion.
14:05 The Imams that... I'm talking about the Imams of jurisprudence, Shafi'i, and Malek and Ibn Hanbal and those.
14:13 Millions of people follow them... followed them. So, why should he waste his time with
14:20 individuals when he can catch the leader and mislead the millions by misleading one leader?
14:29 So, this is his method. So, this... this has been his tactic ever since
14:38 he came down to this earth was to look for the leaders and catch them, possess them.
14:47 And it's very easy in the... in the Muslim countries, there is the Islamic University
14:53 in Medina and everybody who's going there is going to teach other people.
14:57 So, he's always gonna take these people, he and his assistants or just him by himself.
15:01 he possess all those kids, all the students. So, they graduate into his lap
15:10 and they do his orders. They carry out his commands. Now, my personal experience
15:19 the miracle of the Quran
15:23 has grown to overwhelming proportions. It is going to overwhelm the world and I'm
15:29 going... let me interrupt here and give you the latest development. This was discovered
15:33 yesterday or the day before yesterday and it's very quick but it shows you how the miracle is
15:38 growing to undeniable proportions. It's going to overwhelm even the enemies of the Quran.
15:47 What was discovered yesterday or the day before yesterday was that the Quran contains numbers
15:53 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 up to 12 and then 19 and then 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and then after 80
16:02 comes 99, and then 100, 200, 300, 1000, 2000, 3000, 5000, 50,000, 100,000.
16:10 These are all the numbers in the Quran without repetitions, of course, as you know. When
16:15 you add these numbers, the total is 162,134. I may be mistaken I think it is 16... 162,134
16:24 Maybe not, but after the KHUTBA, I can give you the correct number. The total is
16:29 fixed. It doesn't matter if I make mistakes or not. It is fixed. It is in the Quran. It is a multiple of
16:34 19. It is 19 times 8534. This is the latest discovery and let me add one more
16:43 minute elaboration on why this is miraculous. For example, the number 50, there's only one number 50 in
16:49 the Quran. And it is written like this: Noah lived with his people 1,000 years less 50. So, it was not
16:57 written 950. Another place says "We summoned Moses for 30 nights and increased them by 10." So, you can
17:06 see how the numbers stay independent and how they add up to a divisible total. If you do not make a
17:15 sacrifice under certain conditions during Hajj, sacrifice of an animal, you're supposed to fast
17:21 three days during Hajj and seven days when you go home which adds up to ten where the Quran says
17:27 that. Of course, we know three and seven is 10, but that's essential to have the number 10. So, you
17:32 can... you can see how the mathematical composition of Quran and how miraculous it is beyond human
17:38 capability. So, this miracle is growing to overwhelming proportions and Satan knew about it.
17:50 And I assure you he did everything possible in his capacity to stop it from coming out
17:57 because now the cat is out of the bag like they say. He can do nothing now. It's too late.
18:06 I believe he even started a whole new religion based on the number 19 just to divert. Because
18:13 this did divert some people from the number 19, some Muslims, so-called Muslims. So, he did the impossible.
18:23 So, how did God hide it,
18:29 this miracle to surprise Satan? If Satan catches the people going to Al-Azhar
18:36 schools or the religious schools and possesses them, why can't he
18:42 possess the person who is working on the miracle of Quran? Now, here's what happened.
18:51 At the time... at the time, I started computers for the first time. I was working for Monsanto
18:57 Company. I was a senior research chemist at Monsanto Company and they decided to
19:03 computerize their chemical research. So, they gave us a crash course in computer six months.
19:10 And they told us to practice anything, do anything with the computer just to practice and this
19:16 happened to coincide, "coincidence", with my desire to know what ALM is and these
19:23 letters in the Quran. So, I said okay let me write the whole Quran in the computer and see if these
19:28 letters have any mathematical relations. So, I did... I wrote the whole Quran. I got all the results, all the counts, the
19:36 raw data. I have the raw data with me and there was an American Chemical Society meeting in Chicago
19:47 that was in August 1970. August 1970. I don't usually remember
19:54 the days, but God made me remember some crucial dates because it's...
20:00 So, at this meeting, this man comes to me and he says "we want you to work for us."
20:09 "Who are you?" "I'm Robert Seely. I'm director of research for Anheuser-Busch." I said "forget it."
20:18 I didn't say that. I said "Sorry. Thanks but no thanks." He said "we'll give you twice as much money." I said "sorry. It's
20:25 not a matter of money. It's just in my religion, we're against alcohol and it'll be hypocritical of me to... to
20:32 work in the biggest brewery in the world when my religion prohibits it. And I happen to
20:41 be strongly religious." He said "well, I assure you this has nothing to do with alcohol. I mean, rest
20:48 assured this will give you twice as much money and you'll have nothing to do with alcohol."
20:55 I said "what is it?" In fact, I said "no thanks, still. You know, I just don't wanna be
21:00 connected with the name Anheuser-Busch, the biggest brewery in the world." It's in St. Louis. It's a fact.
21:11 So, he explained to me. He said "this is in the food research department and it has nothing
21:17 absolutely nothing... it has to do with eggs, vitamins, carbohydrates, processed foods, has nothing to do
21:24 with alcohol at all." I said "thanks but no thanks." He said "you know, here's a report from the United Nations
21:33 that the people in your country, in Egypt, your home country..." I was not even a citizen then...
21:40 "are going to starve in about 10 years. Don't you want to save them?" Well, he's trying this angle,
21:48 good old Bob Seely. Okay. I said "so, exactly what is the nature of my job there?" He said "Okay. We throw away
21:58 this amount of waste, this amount of oats, this amount of barley, this and that and we
22:04 want to save it from waste, wanna transform it to food." They have baker's yeast and they have brewer's
22:13 yeast and I can choose to work with the either one. They throw tons of yeast. Yeast is rich in protein.
22:21 And this is my specialty as a biochemist. Anyway, to make a long story short,
22:26 I accepted the job at Anheuser-Busch. I took my raw data. I left Monsanto company, August 31st
22:34 1969. We have a witness here, Douglas. And I started with Anheuser-Busch on September 1st
22:43 1970.
22:46 Took all my raw data with me and for the next four years, the miracle of
22:53 the Quran was produced in the biggest brewery in the whole world and this
23:01 is how... what I'm trying to share with you is Satan's limitations.
23:08 And some of you may have been played... playing a game as children where you hide something
23:16 and go and find it. And the best place to hide it, if I'm the person to look for it, is in my
23:22 pocket, right? If you can slip it in my pocket, I can't find it. I will look around everywhere else
23:30 but this is... this is one of the things that many children used to do. They hide the object
23:35 in the pocket of the person who's looking for it. So, imagine Satan looking at the planet earth
23:42 and he sees Al-Azhar. "Oh, these people are gonna grow up and lead millions to teach them
23:48 about Islam and the Quran and so on. Let me get them." And he will look and see Anheuser, the biggest
23:53 brewery in the world. "Nah, this is mine. This is my pocket. Forget it." But inside that biggest
24:02 brewery was the miracle of Quran came out. What does this tell us? It tells us that Satan, it
24:10 has limitations where he cannot, it does not know everything that's happening on the planet Earth.
24:17 God knows
24:19 what the heart of an ant out there is doing.
24:26 "Every, every atom in the universe... this is a quotation from the Quran... not a single atom is out
24:34 of God's vision or control." But you can see Satan unable to detect a significant event like this.
24:44 It was hidden from him. So, he couldn't put up any obstacles against me.
24:52 And this is what I wanted to share with you.
24:54 AQEM AL-SALAT
