0:10 أعوذ بِٱللَّهِ مِنَ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ ٱلرَّجِيمِ
0:19 بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
0:26 (36:2) يسٓ (36:1) وَٱلْقُرْءَانِ ٱلْحَكِيمِ
0:37 (36:4) إِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ (36:3) عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ
0:46 (36:5) تَنزِيلَ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
0:52 (36:6) لِتُنذِرَ قَوْمًا مَّآ أُنذِرَ ءَابَآؤُهُمْ فَهُمْ غَـٰفِلُونَ
1:04 (36:7) لَقَدْ حَقَّ ٱلْقَوْلُ عَلَىٰٓ أَكْثَرِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
1:15 (36:8) إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا فِىٓ أَعْنَـٰقِهِمْ أَغْلَـٰلًا فَهِىَ إِلَى ٱلْأَذْقَانِ فَهُم مُّقْمَحُونَ

2:24 Our guest is doctor Rashad Khalifa, who - he devoted most of his life for his own mission,
2:38 reading, learning, writing, researching and also preaching. But he is most remembered
2:55 by his last computer research, the divine mathematical codes in the Quran based on number
3:06 19. According to the Quran, SURA number 74, verse number 30:
3:18 عَلَيْهَا تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ
3:20 "over it are nineteen. But why 19?
3:30 That's what doctor Khalifa will explain in this interview. Please, brothers and sisters
3:41 in Islam, welcome with me, doctor Rashad Khalifa. Doctor Khalifa, I know I didn't introduce
3:54 you well enough... Dr. Khalifa: You did very well. Abdel Rahman: ...and I think the best way to introduce you is to introduce yourself.
4:06 with your own words. Dr. Khalifa: You did a good job. This is what really counts.
4:11 I did a research in the Quran, and I was blessed by ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA to see the mathematical
4:20 code in the Quran. And this is really sufficient for an introduction.
4:24 Abdel Rahman: Well, I think... Dr. Khalifa: You did a good job, so we'll keep it like that. Abdel Rahman: Thank you,
4:28 Abdel Rahman: But I think also we are entitled to know how much benefit this...
4:34 It's great. It's honor actually to have it, but we would like to know how this mathematical
4:45 codes goes and how far it's benefit, and beneficial to the Muslim in his own living life? I mean,
4:54 the Quran is filled with miracles, and there's a lot of ways to approve that the Quran
4:59 is miracle. If you read it in Arabic, you will see a lot of verses applies to itself
5:06 that the Quran it's miracle and it's the word, really the word of God. But...
5:14 Dr. Khalifa: Well, this is the first physical evidence. The Quran is full of miracles, but all of
5:21 them are disputable, the linguistic excellence, the scientific miracles, and all these things.
5:27 The Quran is full of miracles, but the mathematical miracle is indisputable. It's physical
5:32 based on physical facts. Like BISMI ALLAH AL-RAHMAN AL-RAHIM being 19 letters, the
5:37 number of SURAs being 114. All these are physical facts, like the sun rising from the
5:42 east. It is indisputable unlike the previous miracles. So, and this is in accordance with God's
5:49 will in SURA of 41 verse 53, where God says
5:53 سَنُرِيهِمْ ءَايَـٰتِنَا فِى ٱلْـَٔافَاقِ
5:55 This is in the future tense. سَنُرِيهِمْ "We will show them our miracles in the horizons,
6:00 and within themselves, until they realize that this is the truth." So, the miracles of
6:04 the Quran are increasingly powerful. And then we get to this mathematical miracle which
6:11 is described by God Himself as "one of the greatest miracles." The SURA that you mentioned
6:16 74 عَلَيْهَا تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ the verse 30, and then the verses go on and on, saying
6:23 that this is one of the greatest miracles. It says
6:26 (74:32) كَلَّا وَٱلْقَمَرِ
6:27 (74:33) وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذْ أَدْبَرَ
6:28 (74:34) وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَآ أَسْفَرَ
6:29 (74:35) إِنَّهَا لَإِحْدَى ٱلْكُبَرِ
6:31 It is one of the greatest miracles, and this is God's own description of it.
6:35 Abdel Rahman: You mean here the miracles, it's the computer age, right? That's what ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA... I noticed...
6:44 Dr. Khalifa: Well, the computer age...
6:45 Abdel Rahman: I noticed, excuse me for this, I noticed you used God. You didn’t use ALLAH
6:49 which the Quran always says is ALLAH, because the Quran came in Arabic. It didn't come
6:54 in English or in Persian. It come. قُرْءَٰنًا عَرَبِيًّۭا
6:58 Dr. Khalifa: Actually, I did say ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA at least one time...
7:01 Abdel Rahman: I noticed you said God... Dr. Khalifa: Well, it depends on what language you speak.
7:04 If you speak English, you have to say God. If you speak Arabic, you have to ALLAH. So...
7:08 Because as you know, you're from Egypt
7:10 and you know the Egyptian cops use the word ALLAH. They say IN SHAA ALLAH. They say MA SHA ALLAH. And
7:15 some of them are named ABDULLAH. Abdel Rahman: Yes.
7:18 Dr. Khalifa: So, ALLAH is the Arabic word and has nothing to do....
7:22 Abdel Rahman: You mean using God, it's already okay? Dr. Khalifa: Of course it is... .
7:27 It depends on what language you use. If you
7:28 meet somebody in the street and say ALLAH here in the United States, some people think
7:35 ALLAH is a man who is named ALLAH, or ALLAH is a rock somewhere. And this is an actual
7:42 happening. My son was in a class where they told that ALLAH is a rock. My son had to
7:47 object. Abdel Rahman: But this we have nothing to do with this because
7:50 you know there are... Dr. Khalifa: What I mean is, it depends on what language
7:53 you use. If you use English, you have to use God. If you use French, you have to use Dieu.
7:58 If you use Farsi, you have to use KHODA. If you use Arabic, you have to use ALLAH.
8:02 Abdel Rahman: Let's go back again also to the computer. I would like to know how far it's beneficial
8:09 to the human being. You know, I'm a Muslim and you discovered that the computer age discovered
8:15 that the Quran... you discovered... Dr. Khalifa: You're asking about the role of the mathematical
8:19 code... Abdel Rahman: Yes, to the Muslims.
8:21 ...as it applies to the Muslims and the non-Muslims. This is mentioned in the Quran immediately
8:26 after the number 19. It says...it gives you 5 reasons for the number 19. It says
8:32 وَمَا جَعَلْنَا عِدَّتَهُمْ
8:34 that we made their number, for the following reasons:
8:36 Number 1
8:37 فِتْنَةًۭ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟
8:39 to disturb the disbelievers
8:41 فِتْنَةًۭ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟
8:43 to prove their disbelief.
8:47 لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ
8:49 This is the number 2 reason
8:52 is to make the believers among the Christians and the Jews certain that this book, the Quran,
8:58 is from God.
9:00 لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ
9:02 Number 3
9:03 وَيَزْدَادَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِيمَـٰنًۭا
9:06 So, the people who believe that the Quran is
9:08 from God, before the number 19, without the number 19, when they see the mathematical
9:14 code they will increase in faith.
9:16 يَزْدَادَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِيمَـٰنًۭا
9:19 And the fourth reason.
9:20 وَلَا يَرْتَابَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ
9:23 If any of the Muslims, or
9:26 the Christians, or the Jews have any doubt in their heart that this book, the Quran, is from God,
9:32 the mathematical code will help remove all this doubt.
9:35 Number 5 in the verse says
9:38 وَلِيَقُولَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌۭ وَٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ مَاذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَـٰذَا مَثَلًۭا
9:43 And to expose the hypocrites and the disbelievers, they will say "so what?
9:47 this is not important." So, these are the five reasons that God Himself
9:52 gives as the role of the number 19 or the mathematical code in the Quran.
9:59 Abdel Rahman: Make the Muslim strongly believe that the Quran from God.
10:05 But there's SURAs, there's AYAs in the Quran by Arabic
10:10 approve to the Muslim and non-Muslim that the Quran is miracle,
10:15 it's the word of God. Like, for example, like
10:17 (39:5) يُكَوِّرُ ٱلَّيْلَ عَلَى ٱلنَّهَارِ
10:20 ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA, He said, He make... He cover the globe with the night and...
10:29 Dr. Khalifa: He rolls the day around the night, and the night around the day, proving that the
10:33 Earth is round. Abdel Rahman: Ah, how, how the messenger of God approved
10:39 this? How the messenger of God knows that? In the centuries later, there is such... to
10:44 approve this. So, if we go through the Quran, we will find a lot...
10:48 Dr. Khalifa: So, let us say that this verse will cause someone to believe in the Quran.
10:51 (39:5) يُكَوِّرُ ٱلَّيْلَ عَلَى ٱلنَّهَارِ وَيُكَوِّرُ ٱلنَّهَارَ عَلَى ٱلَّيْلِ
10:54 This person when he or she looks at
10:57 the mathematical code, God says in the Quran - not I am saying - God says that his belief
11:02 will increase. His faith will increase.
11:04 يَزْدَادَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِيمَـٰنًۭا
11:07 So, this is an additional confirmation or assurance or increase in faith.
11:13 Abdel Rahman: Alright. There is also another thing. You believe, you know, when you talk now you don't
11:19 believe in Hadith or Sunnah. Do you believe in Hadith or Sunnah?
11:23 Dr. Khalifa: I believe that the Quran is complete, perfect and fully detailed because God says so in
11:27 the Quran. Abdel Rahman: And we don't have to use Hadith or Sunnah
11:30 at all? Dr. Khalifa: It doesn't matter or any other source.
11:31 Abdel Rahman: I noticed in the prayer here, you never mentioned the messenger of God, like, you ignored him completely.
11:39 Abdel Rahman: Do you have anything against him? Because you ignored... you said...
11:43 Dr. Khalifa: Is it true that I mentioned... Abdel Rahman: Yeah, you say ALLAH, then when you prayed, you
11:52 prayed, you read Fateha, but you didn't read Quran, you know. Something, it's actually
11:57 - I hope you will correct me if I'm mistaken or something - new to me, new to any Muslim,
12:03 because we know that when we stay, we say
12:06 الله. اشهد ان لا اله الا الله و ان محمد رسول الله
12:11 This is about Islam. You can't separate it. You can't say
12:15 اشهد ان لا اله الا الله I bear witness there is
12:19 no god but one God and you hold that the messenger
12:23 Muhammad is the messenger of God. If you hold it, you mean you shall not..
12:29 Dr. Khalifa: Is that right? Abdel Rahman: Well that's what I believe. I hope we will...
12:33 Dr. Khalifa: Let's look in the Quran again. If you look in the Quran, the Quran gives us the correct SHAHADA.
12:37 And this is in SURA number 3, verse 18 it says
12:40 شَهِدَ ٱللَّهُ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَأُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْعِلْمِ قَآئِمًۢا بِٱلْقِسْطِ
12:47 So, the SHAHADA according to ALLAH,
12:50 the angels, and those who know أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْعِلْمِ is لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا الله
12:55 There is no محمد رسول الله there. This is one thing.
12:59 شَهِدَ ٱللَّهُ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَأُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْعِلْمِ
13:06 So, this is the correct SHAHADA
13:08 as dictated in the Quran. When you say لا اله الا الله محمد رسول الله
13:13 you violate the most basic commandment in the Quran. The first one is the principle
13:21 of TAWHEED. You are not commemorating God Alone. You are putting a name besides God,
13:27 another name beside God. You are making distinction among the messengers of God. This is an important
13:34 commandment that you see in SURA 2 verse 285, for example. It's mentioned four times
13:40 in the Quran that you do not make, you shall not make any distinction among the messengers
13:45 of God. And it is done so powerfully that any Muslim who makes distinction is not a Muslim at all
13:55 because the Quran says لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍۢ مِّن رُّسُلِهِۦ ۚ وَقَالُوا۟ سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا
14:00 and these are the MU'MENs
14:01 ءَامَنَ ٱلرَّسُولُ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِن رَّبِّهِۦ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۚ كُلٌّ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَمَلَٰٓئِكَتِهِۦ وَكُتُبِهِۦ وَرُسُلِهِۦ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍۢ مِّن رُّسُلِهِۦ ۚ وَقَالُوا۟ سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا ۖ
14:12 Abdel Rahman: That is the Muslim, he doesn't, he shouldn't have to say لا اله الا الله محمد رسول الله
14:19 but he believe لا اله الا الله and he believe
14:22 all the messengers of ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA, they are equal, no distinction between...
14:28 Dr. Khalifa: When was the last time you said لا اله الا الله یونس رسول الله
14:32 Abdel Rahman: Well, you actually do not say YUNES. When you say...
14:36 Dr. Khalifa: Answer my question. When was the last time you said لا اله الا الله یونس رسول الله
14:41 Abdel Rahman: I hope you will understand me. I'm not debating
14:44 you. I'm not arguing with you. I am... Dr. Khalifa: No no, I am trying to demonstrate the points
14:48 of the distinction among the prophets. Abdel Rahman: Okay.
14:50 Dr. Khalifa: When was the last time you said لا اله الا الله یونس رسول الله
14:52 Abdel Rahman: Okay. When I say لا اله الا الله محمد Dr. Khalifa: No, wait wait, first answer...
14:57 Abdel Rahman: I will answer your question. I will not answer the way you want. I answer it the way I want...
15:01 Dr. Khalifa: No no, just yes or no. It's a yes or no. When was the last time you said لا اله الا الله یونس رسول الله
15:06 Abdel Rahman: When I say لا اله الا الله محمد رسول الله
15:10 it's admitting that I admit all the messenger up to Muhammad, I believe
15:15 in them. Dr. Khalifa: You didn't say that. It doesn't say that.
15:17 Abdel Rahman: That's what I admit.
15:18 I believe all the messenger including the last messenger of ALLAH SUBHANAHU...
15:22 Dr. Khalifa: Muhammad is not the last messenger. Abdel Rahman: Well, this is another...
15:27 Dr. Khalifa: Where do you get that? Where do you get that Muhammad is the last messenger? Abdel Rahman: Let's continue.
15:31 Dr. Khalifa: No, let me ask another question. Is Muhammad
15:34 dead or alive? Abdel Rahman: This is علم عندالله. As far as
15:40 I know, as a human being, he died. Dr. Khalifa: Muhammad is dead?
15:43 Abdel Rahman: As far as I know. Am I coming to be questioned, or I question you?
15:48 Dr. Khalifa: What do you mean? No, we're dealing with your question.
15:50 لا اله الا الله محمد رسول الله We're looking at this statement from the logical point of view. Forget anything else.
15:56 God gave us a mind that He wants us to use. So, you are saying لا اله الا الله محمد رسول الله
16:03 which means what in English? Abdel Rahman: I bear witness that there is no god but one
16:07 God, and Muhammad is the messenger of God. Dr. Khalifa: "Muhammad is the messenger of God". So, my
16:12 question is "is Muhammad dead or alive?" Abdel Rahman: What do you think?
16:19 Dr. Khalifa: What I think, the Quran says Muhammad is dead. (39:30) إِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌۭ وَإِنَّهُم مَّيِّتُونَ
16:22 Abdel Rahman: Yes. Dr. Khalifa: We know that Muhammad is dead unless he's
16:25 1,400 and some years old. Abdel Rahman: Yes.
16:29 Dr. Khalifa: Sitting somewhere. Abdel Rahman: Okay.
16:30 Dr. Khalifa: But he is in a grave now. He's dead, right? Abdel Rahman: Okay.
16:33 Dr. Khalifa: Now, do you think a dead man can be a messenger of God?
16:35 Abdel Rahman: No longer after he died... Dr. Khalifa: Exactly. So, why do you say Muhammad is the
16:39 messenger of God? He's not, he could not be a messenger of God because he's dead, is this true?
16:46 Abdel Rahman: I will go for it for the time being, okay. Let's go...
16:51 Dr. Khalifa: Well, can a dead man be a messenger of God? Abdel Rahman: He was a messenger of God and he already completed his mission.
17:01 Dr. Khalifa: Exactly, now therefore the correct statement would be محمد کان رسول الله
17:04 Therefore the statement لا اله الا الله محمد رسول الله
17:07 is wrong, even from the purely logical point of view.
17:12 However, like I said the SHAHADA is in the Quran. Unfortunately, the Muslims do not follow
17:17 the Quran. And it says شَهِدَ ٱللَّهُ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَأُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْعِلْمِ
17:23 Therefore, anyone who says anything but لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا الله is not among أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْعِلْمِ
17:28 He doesn't know. He is ignorant. It's due to ignorance.
17:33 This is why in the KHUTBA you saw me say لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا الله This is it. This is all we say.
17:38 Abdel Rahman: Also, you said you believe in the Quran, nothing
17:42 but the Quran, and we don't have to believe anything from Hadith. Why? We don't have
17:46 to pay attention to Hadith, why? Dr. Khalifa: Because God says in the Quran that the Quran
17:53 is complete, perfect, and fully detailed. And the question is "do you believe God or not?"
17:57 If you believe God, you'll believe that the Quran is complete, perfect, and fully
18:01 detailed. Listen to this. This is verse 114 in SURA 6. It say
18:06 أَفَغَيْرَ ٱللَّهِ أَبْتَغِى حَكَمًۭا وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنزَلَ إِلَيْكُمُ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ مُفَصَّلًۭا
18:11 Shall I seek out other than God as a source of law when He sent down to you this book
18:16 fully detailed? مُفَصَّلًۭا fully detailed.
18:20 Therefore, if you go to anything else, you will be a rejector of the Quran. You have rejected,
18:26 you have disbelieved God. So, this is the reason why. It doesn't matter how great the Hadith is.
18:34 Abdel Rahman: You know the Muslims usually, when they use
18:38 Hadith, it doesn't mean that they are overlapping the Quran. No, the Quran is divine constitution
18:48 of God to mankind. And who apply, who perform that constitution
18:58 to mankind better than Muhammad, the messenger of God, the one who redeemed it, the one who
19:03 received it, and delivered it to mankind. People always like to follow the one who receive it,
19:10 and to see how he perform it, how he - he show it to the people, then they follow
19:20 his way of performing the constitution of God.
19:24 It means like when I follow the Hadith doesn't mean I am away of the Quran. As far
19:29 as I know, I hope you correct me if I'm wrong. I'm just saying my statement and I'm
19:34 sure you will have a comment on it. That's as far as I know about the Muslim how they use Hadith.
19:41 What do you think? Dr. Khalifa: Well, first of all if the Quran is fully detailed
19:47 - not if the Quran - I mean, I know the Quran is fully detailed. God says the Quran is fully detailed.
19:51 Therefore, you don't need anything else.
19:54 We know that the Hadith are... we know now from many many years of research that the
20:01 Hadith are fabrications attributed to the prophet. Now the Satan, SHAYTAN knows
20:07 that we love the prophet very much, and he use that as a bait to catch...when you catch
20:14 fish, you put bait on a hook to catch the fish. Abdel Rahman: I think, I think - if you excuse me for interrupting
20:20 you Dr. Khalifa - the Muslim, they are aware of a lot of Hadith being injected to Hadith, not like Quran...
20:28 Dr. Khalifa: No, I'm talking about the Sahih Bukhari, for example. Sahih Bukhari is full contradictions,
20:33 blasphemies against the prophet. I can show you literally hundreds of Hadiths that are
20:40 considered attacks on the prophet. They distract from the greatness of the prophet Muhammad.
20:46 So, but the important point Abdel Rahman is that God says the Quran is complete, perfect,
20:53 fully detailed. This is the important point. So if you give me a Hadith that is fantastic
20:58 and great and has all the qualities of the best things in the world, I still cannot go
21:03 to it because God tells me the Quran is complete, perfect, and fully detailed.
21:08 But the fact is that the Hadith is actually a blasphemous attack against the prophet, and I gave you
21:17 an issue of the Muslim Perspective in Arabic proving that - I'm talking about Shahih Hadith of Bukhari
21:23 - they are a transgression against the prophet. Abdel Rahman: So, you are ignoring completely the great teacher
21:30 of Islam which Muhammad peace be upon him, he was a great teacher, was... He is the one
21:36 who received the message of Allah, and he taught it to the people. So, I consider him he is my leader.
21:42 Dr. Khalifa: You are missing the point. Abdel Rahman: OK. Let me know it.
21:44 Dr. Khalifa: Yeah, you are missing the point. Abdel Rahman: Okay.
21:46 Dr. Khalifa: The Hadith was never uttered by the prophet, has nothing to do with the prophet because
21:51 - did the Quran come out of the prophets mouth? Abdel Rahman: How did it come out?
21:56 Dr. Khalifa: Did the Quran come out of the prophet's mouth? Abdel Rahman: I will ask you, you won't ask me, how did it come out?
22:01 Dr. Khalifa: It doesn't matter how.
22:03 Abdel Rahman: Okay, you tell me how it come out. Dr. Khalifa: The Quran says that Gabriel brought it, released it...
22:06 Abdel Rahman: But how he revealed it to Muhammad?
22:08 Dr. Khalifa: Yes, through Gabriel. God revealed Quran, yes, to Muhammad.
22:11 It came out of his mouth. Abdel Rahman: Whose mouth?
22:14 Dr. Khalifa: Muhammad's mouth. Abdel Rahman: Muhammad's mouth.
22:15 Dr. Khalifa: Right. Therefore, if you wanna follow Muhammad, you follow Quran, because it came out of
22:20 Muhammad's mouth. Abdel Rahman: Yes.
22:21 Dr. Khalifa: So, I don't know what the people like that... Abdel Rahman: If I'm an Arabian illiterate, don't understand
22:28 that highly quality Arabic language of the Quran, miracle of the Quran, and I would like
22:33 to understand, who will teach me and show me the right way more than the one who revealed
22:39 from God, peace be upon him, Muhammad (عليه صلاة وسلام)?
22:42 How? That's why Muhammad, he brought the Hadith... Dr. Khalifa: Are you saying Muhammad is the teacher
22:46 of Quran? Abdel Rahman: He is interpreter of the Quran to the Muslims.
22:51 Dr. Khalifa: No, he was forbidden from interpreting the Quran.
22:53 Abdel Rahman: He was? Dr. Khalifa: Yes. In the Quran SURA 75 verse 19, it says
22:58 (75:19) ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُۥ (75:16) لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِۦٓ
23:03 Muhammad don't move your tongue - or in English here in American English, don't open your mouth.
23:09 (75:17) إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُۥ وَقُرْءَانَهُۥ that we are the ones who will reveal it and put it into Quran.
23:16 (75:18) فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعْ قُرْءَانَهُۥ
23:19 Once we have it in the Quran, you Muhammad, follow the Quran.
23:22 (75:19) ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُۥ God is saying that I'm the One who will explain it.
23:27 So, the prophet is forbidden from explaining the Quran.
23:31 In another SURA, SURA 69, starting at verse 38, we see that if the prophet uttered
23:37 anything else other than the Quran, he will go to Hell. It says... to go from the beginning...
23:50 It says (69:43) تَنزِيلٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ (69:41) وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِرٍۢ ۚ قَلِيلًۭا مَّا تُؤْمِنُونَ (69:42) وَلَا بِقَوْلِ كَاهِنٍۢ ۚ قَلِيلًۭا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ
24:02 OK. Yeah. (69:38) فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُونَ
24:05 This is the strongest oath in the Quran (69:38) فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُونَ (69:39) وَمَا لَا تُبْصِرُونَ
24:12 I swear by the things you see and the things you do not see. Now, this is not
24:15 swearing by the sun or the moon or the time or anything. This is swearing by everything in the universe.
24:20 (69:40) إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ This Quran is the utterance of an honorable messenger.
24:26 (69:41) وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِرٍۢ ۚ قَلِيلًۭا مَّا تُؤْمِنُونَ It is not the utterance of a poet.
24:32 (69:42) وَلَا بِقَوْلِ كَاهِنٍۢ ۚ قَلِيلًۭا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ
24:35 It is not the utterance of a soothsayer, or some... an Egyptian BAKKASH, somebody who's
24:41 BAKKASH. Abdel Rahman: What's BAKKASH mean?
24:44 Dr. Khalifa: Soothsayer, KAHEN Abdel Rahman: KAHEN. Okay.
24:46 (69:43) تَنزِيلٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ It came from the Lord of the universe.
24:50 (69:44) وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ ٱلْأَقَاوِيلِ If he uttered anything else
24:55 (69:45) لَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِٱلْيَمِينِ (69:46) ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ ٱلْوَتِينَ
25:00 (69:47) فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حَٰجِزِينَ None of you can protect him.
25:05 And because of this interruption in the English language, I hope I didn't mess up the verses.
25:09 But this is the general idea. (69:38) فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُونَ
25:12 (69:39) وَمَا لَا تُبْصِرُونَ (69:40) إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ
25:14 (69:41) وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِرٍۢ ۚ قَلِيلًۭا مَّا تُؤْمِنُونَ (69:42) وَلَا بِقَوْلِ كَاهِنٍۢ ۚ قَلِيلًۭا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ
25:18 (69:43) تَنزِيلٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ (69:44) وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ ٱلْأَقَاوِيلِ (69:45) لَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِٱلْيَمِينِ
25:22 (69:46) ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ ٱلْوَتِينَ
25:23 (69:47) فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حَٰجِزِينَ So, this... the prophet Muhammad was forbidden
25:28 from explaining the Quran, or uttering any additional religious teachings, and this is
25:33 in the Quran. Abdel Rahman: So, you are actually trying to tell me
25:37 there is no way we have to follow the Hadith of the messenger of God, or follow
25:43 his way. We have the Quran, we have to stick...
25:46 Dr. Khalifa: You still miss the point. It is not the Hadith of the messenger of God. It is the Hadith
25:50 attributed to the messenger of God.
25:52 Because the prophet Muhammad would never disobey God.
25:55 And God told him "you have the Quran and nothing
25:59 else." And this is in verse 19, SURA 6. It says
26:05 قُلْ أَىُّ شَىْءٍ أَكْبَرُ شَهَٰدَةًۭ who is the better testimony?
26:09 قُلِ ٱللَّهُ ۖ شَهِيدٌۢ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكُمْ ۚ وَأُوحِىَ إِلَىَّ هَٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لِأُنذِرَكُم بِهِۦ وَمَنۢ بَلَغَ
26:16 I was given this Quran to deliver to you and the future generation.
26:20 Abdel Rahman: I think... Dr. Khalifa: Wait a minute.
26:22 It did not say أُوحِىَ إِلَىَّ هَٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَان والحدیث
26:24 Abdel Rahman: No, I think I agree with your point for one reason because we - we will be as Muslims
26:30 all of us, we will be judged by the Quran. But I disagree about one thing because - another thing because
26:37 the hadith I have to follow the messenger of God, the one who received the Quran and
26:44 who delivered it to me. As a Muslim, if I ignore it...
26:47 Dr. Khalifa: You miss the point again. The Hadith came from SHAYTAN, from Satan, not from Muhammad.
26:52 Abdel Rahman: I have to be aware, which is right the Hadith and what's wrong Hadith. But ignoring,
26:56 ignoring the messenger of God, that is a question
26:59 I would like to elaborate with you. Dr. Khalifa: You mean if you follow the Quran,
27:03 you will ignore the messenger of God? Abdel Rahman: No, if I ignore the Hadith., if I ignore...
27:08 Dr. Khalifa: This is the Hadith of Satan. If I prove to you that the Hadith is from Satan, would you still wanna follow it?
27:12 Abdel Rahman: No.
27:13 Dr. Khalifa: So, if I come to you just because the SHAYTAN came to you and said قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم
27:18 You believe it? Abdel Rahman: If it's...
27:20 Dr. Khalifa: Say, Satan walks from this door, wearing a turban, wait, and says قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم
27:27 You're gonna follow it?
27:28 Abdel Rahman: It's been renarrated by most scholar religion in Islam, which are - we know that they are
27:37 being following the messenger of God, and they know what he saw, and they are witness
27:43 and we are taking them, holding them, they are witnessed Muhammad, because...
27:47 Dr. Khalifa: They never witnessed Muhammad. Abdel Rahman: Well, that's...
27:50 Dr. Khalifa: The first Hadith, it was recorded was 250 years after Muhammad, across 8 generations of the dead.
27:56 Abdel Rahman: So, from the period when Muhammad died to 250 years there was no Hadith at all?
28:00 Dr. Khalifa: That's right. Abdel Rahman: I see. You believe in the Quran...
28:03 Dr. Khalifa: There was no recorded Hadith. People were making up Hadith at the time. For example,
28:07 you come to my house and I have only fish to feed you. If you object, then I'll
28:12 tell you "well, the prophet said if you eat fish alone you're gonna be great." So,
28:16 people made this kind of Hadith. And it was not recorded or anything. So, Bukhari
28:21 came 250 years later and claimed that the prophet said these things. And as you know,
28:25 Bukhari eliminated 90% of the things that he wrote himself, and still whatever is left
28:32 the thousands of Hadith are attacking and blaspheming against the prophet.
28:38 Abdel Rahman: Okay. Let's move to another point because if we wanna continue talking about this
28:42 point, we will never finish it at all. Dr. Khalifa: Well, this point should be finished because
28:46 God says the Quran is complete, perfect and fully detailed.
28:49 And the Quran says that telling Muhammad to
28:53 tell us that he brings only the Quran. The last verse in sura 50 says
28:58 (50:45) فَذَكِّرْ بِٱلْقُرْءَانِ مَن يَخَافُ وَعِيدِ Deliver the message of the Quran. It didn't say Quran
29:04 and Sunnah, or Quran and Hadith. (50:45) فَذَكِّرْ بِٱلْقُرْءَانِ مَن يَخَافُ وَعِيدِ
29:07 Abdel Rahman: But there is a lot of SURAs also remind the Muslim to follow ALLAH and the messenger of
29:14 God. For example, I probably I have some: يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ ءَامِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلَّذِى نَزَّلَ (4:136) عَلَىٰ رَسُولِهِۦ وَٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنزَلَ مِن قَبْلُ
29:25 (5:3) ٱلْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ
29:27 (33:56) إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ وَمَلَٰٓئِكَتَهُۥ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِىِّ
29:30 You know, ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA also confirm it to the people to pray to Muhammad
29:35 because ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA praying to Muhammad, as far as I know, I hope you will understand
29:40 me and you will correct me if I'm wrong. Dr. Khalifa: Let me correct you.
29:42 Abdel Rahman: (24:47) وَيَقُولُونَ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ وَبِٱلرَّسُولِ
29:44 (24:52) وَمَن يُطِعِ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ وَيَخْشَ ٱللَّهَ
29:47 (24:54) قُلْ أَطِيعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا۟ ٱلرَّسُولَ
29:49 (24:56) وَأَقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُوا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَأَطِيعُوا۟ ٱلرَّسُولَ Dr. Khalifa: So, why do you disobey him then? Why are you
29:54 disobeying him when he tells you to uphold that the Quran is complete, fully detailed,
29:59 and you shall uphold the Quran alone? Why do you disobey him and go to something
30:02 else? Abdel Rahman: I see.
30:03 Dr. Khalifa: You see in the Quran it is telling you (24:54) أَطِيعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا۟ ٱلرَّسُولَ
30:07 So, why don't you listen and obey the ALLAH and the RASOOL?
30:11 Abdel Rahman: Okay. By obeying the messenger of God, and obeying because I know that the messenger
30:17 of God he is been taught by ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA, he was orphan and is taught
30:22 by ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA, and he is, he was perfect, he was perfect.
30:28 Dr. Khalifa: Okay, is this the reason for you to disobey him?
30:31 Abdel Rahman: No, to obey him. Dr. Khalifa: You're not obeying him when you go to other than the Quran.
30:35 Dr. Khalifa: But you are disobeying him when you... Abdel Rahman: Obeying him in the Quran and his way of life, way of life.
30:40 Dr. Khalifa: But if you follow anything other than the Quran, then you are disobeying the prophet. Abdel Rahman: I see.
30:43 Abdel Rahman: Okay. Dr. Khalifa: So, therefore you must be the... if you are reciting these verses,
30:47 you have to do them yourself. (24:54) أَطِيعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا۟ ٱلرَّسُولَ
30:50 Abdel Rahman: Yes. Dr. Khalifa: If you obey RASOOL, you will uphold the
30:52 Quran, the whole Quran, nothing but the Quran. If you go to anything other than the
30:56 Quran, you are not obeying the messenger. Abdel Rahman: So, you believe in the Quran from
31:00 the cover to the cover?
31:02 Dr. Khalifa: Yes. Right. Abdel Rahman: You believe in this Quran, and our - speaking to each other now we will speak according
31:10 to the Quran. Dr. Khalifa: Yes, absolutely.
31:13 Abdel Rahman: You say, you said, I think in one of your brochures here, if you allow me to read it to you or
31:20 just you said here - you said: "Providing indisputable evidence for the exposure and removal of two human-made
31:30 sentences that were injected into the Quran at the end of the last SURA revealed
31:37 in Medina, SURA number 9." Other words, you say here that the human being
31:42 been injected some SURAs in the Quran... Dr. Khalifa: AYAs, verses.
31:46 Abdel Rahman: Some verses in the Quran. So, this Quran, the one in my hand here, in Arabic, the one
31:52 in my hand in Arabic, it's not completely perfect. It's been injected by...
31:59 man-made SURAs, you believe in that? Dr. Khalifa: Right.
32:03 Abdel Rahman: Okay. And also... Dr. Khalifa: This Quran is not correct.
32:05 Abdel Rahman: This is not correct? Dr. Khalifa: But we know the correct Quran. I can show
32:09 you a Quran that is correct and complete. Abdel Rahman: You will show me in a minute, but let me continue
32:12 this. ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA says (15:9) إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا ٱلذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَٰفِظُونَ
32:18 ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA took an oath on
32:22 Him to guard the Quran, because mankind couldn't guard the Torah or the Bible. So, ALLAH Dr. Khalifa: And He did. That's right.
32:32 took an oath on Him to guard the Quran. In your translation, you said "we have sent
32:40 down - for this verse - we have sent down the revelation and we will surely preserve it. Dr. Khalifa: Yes.
32:48 In Yusuf Ali translation, what he says, he says "We have, without doubt, sent down - excuse me let me...
33:00 In Yusuf Ali translation, which most of the Muslim people -
33:04 they are taking by Yusuf Ali translation the Quran "We have without a doubt sent down
33:11 the Message and We will assuredly guard it from corruption".
33:17 Dr. Khalifa: I agree with that.
33:19 Abdel Rahman: You agree about that? Dr. Khalifa: Yeah.
33:20 Abdel Rahman: Okay. Well, I would like you to elaborate on this point doctor Khalifa.
33:25 Dr. Khalifa: ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA carried out His promise and He preserved the Quran perfectly. I can
33:30 show you a Quran that is perfect, in the way it was sent down, and the way it was written...
33:36 Abdel Rahman: I would like to see it. Dr. Khalifa: Right. The way every letter of it is preserved,
33:42 not a single letter is added, and not a single letter is lost.
33:46 However, if you go to Egypt or Iran today,
33:49 you're gonna see that the Quran is printed with some mistakes in them, but this does
33:53 not negate the fact... Abdel Rahman: Let's be clear now...
33:56 Dr. Khalifa: Wait. Doesn't negate the fact... Abdel Rahman: Let's be clear before you go.
34:00 Abdel Rahman: This Quran, it's been in the whole world through Iran
34:05 through Persia, through Arabic world, this Arabic Quran
34:10 it's not real Quran? Dr. Khalifa: There are some mistakes in it.
34:14 Abdel Rahman: It has mistakes in it? Dr. Khalifa: Right.
34:16 Abdel Rahman: And you have the one... Dr. Khalifa: The point is that God did preserve the perfect
34:20 Quran and we have it. Abdel Rahman: You have it?
34:23 Dr. Khalifa: It's all over the world. Abdel Rahman: With whom? With you?
34:25 Dr. Khalifa: No, it's even here. You can find it here also as long as you mark the mistakes.
34:31 There are a few mistakes. Abdel Rahman: But ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA says (15:9) إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا ٱلذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَٰفِظُونَ
34:35 Dr. Khalifa: So, how do you explain...
34:36 Abdel Rahman: We will never allow anyone to inject even one single...
34:39 Dr. Khalifa: So, how do you explain the fact that in Iran today, they're printing millions of Qurans
34:44 that do not follow the Quranic writing? Like, for example, the word "SALAT" is written SAAD, LAAM, ALEF, HE,
34:51 instead of SAAD, LAAM, WAW, HE as in the original Quran.
34:55 How do you explain that? Do you mean God failed to carry out His promise? Is this what you think?
35:00 Abdel Rahman: No, I'm not thinking of anything. I would like you...
35:03 Dr. Khalifa: Okay. I'm saying that it doesn't matter what people do with the Quran. They can take it
35:07 and mess it up and do anything they want. This is what they want to do. This is only
35:11 ink and paper. But the Quran that God sent down is preserved exactly the way that it was written,
35:18 and without adding or losing a single letter. So, this promise of God
35:24 (15:9) إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا ٱلذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَٰفِظُونَ is kept. However, I must point out something to you.
35:30 When there is a law, like the law of preservation of the Quran, this law does not exist unless
35:36 it is violated. Do you understand what this means?
35:39 Abdel Rahman: Yes, I'm following you. Dr. Khalifa: Okay. For example, if there is a law that
35:43 Abdel Rahman Salem cannot leave this room. If you stay in this room forever,
35:48 nobody will ever know that this law exists. Is this true? Abdel Rahman: As far as I understand.
35:54 Dr. Khalifa: Okay. Now, but if you violate this law, and try to leave the room, and then you are forced back in,
36:01 then we know that the law exists. Therefore, the violation of the sacredness
36:07 of the Quran proves that God preserved it, because we detected the mistakes. We know
36:13 exactly where any letters were added or removed, and we have the perfect the Quran.
36:19 Abdel Rahman: You have the perfect Quran? Dr. Khalifa: Because God fulfilled, God fulfilled His promise.
36:22 Abdel Rahman: Yes. Do you think you can... Dr. Khalifa: And the perfect Quran is contained in here. It
36:28 is included in here, but people added some of their errors in it. However, it doen't
36:34 make any difference because the perfect Quran is in existence.
36:37 Abdel Rahman: If I am an ordinary Muslim walking in the street, and I picked up this Quran,
36:42 you know, for the witness of ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA, how do I know this is right and this is wrong,
36:50 and this is injected? Dr. Khalifa: Okay. You are either a sincere Muslim
36:54 or you're an insincere Muslim, is this correct? Abdel Rahman: Mmhmm.
36:58 Dr. Khalifa: Now, God knows that, right? Abdel Rahman: Yes.
37:00 Dr. Khalifa: Now, when God knows that you are a sincere Muslim, He will see to it that you'll be
37:05 guided to the correct Quran, to the perfect Quran. If you're not a sincere Muslim, you'll
37:11 be left to - you'll have a fake Quran. A fake Muslim has a fake Quran. A true
37:16 Muslim has a true Quran. This is a rule of thumb.
37:18 Abdel Rahman: Okay. You also... Dr. Khalifa: A sincere believer has a perfect Quran. An
37:23 insincere person does not have a perfect Quran. Abdel Rahman: Okay. You said also in your writing and in your
37:28 paper brochures you said: the old testimony, and the new testimony, and also the final testimony,
37:34 referring to the Quran which I believe as far as I know, also I hope you will correct me
37:39 if I'm mistaking - Muslims they don't like to use or to apply this word this "old" and
37:47 "new" and "final" to the word of God. We know that this word is being used by Jewish and
37:55 Christians, not by the Muslims. The Muslim, he knows that the word of God, from Adam to
38:00 Muhammad, it's the word of God, never been old, never been used, never been - it's
38:04 word of God. When we say the word of God, it's the word of God. But...
38:08 Dr. Khalifa: You don't like the using "old testament", "the new testament"...
38:11 Abdel Rahman: No, I'm just asking, wondering... Dr. Khalifa: No, I like to use it, but if you don't like to
38:15 use it, go ahead and don't use it. Abdel Rahman: So, that's the only answer you have, right? Dr. Khalifa: Right.
38:19 Abdel Rahman: You said also "Mohammedans, the worst
38:23 enemies of God." Dr. Khalifa: Yes.
38:26 Abdel Rahman: "Beware of Mohammedans, the worst enemies of God, according to the Quran."
38:33 Did the Quran say that? Dr. Khalifa: Yes.
38:35 Abdel Rahman: That the Quran said "the one who follows Muhammad will be My worst enemy?"
38:39 Dr. Khalifa: The one who worships Muhammad. Abdel Rahman: Well, the one who worships, you know the Muslim
38:44 they never worship Muhammad... Dr. Khalifa: You indicated in the beginning of this interview
38:48 that you worship Muhammad. Abdel Rahman: How?
38:50 Dr. Khalifa: You said, لا اله الا الله محمد رسول الله You worship Muhammad in your life.
38:53 Wait, wait, wait, wait. You put Muhammad's name
38:56 next to ALLAH's name. This is SHIRK. By definition, this is SHIRK.
39:00 Abdel Rahman: According to SURA... Dr. Khalifa: You made a statement "Muhammad is a messenger
39:03 of God", when he is dead. He is not alive. Only God is alive, this is why God says
39:07 (25:58) تَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱلْحَىِّ ٱلَّذِى لَا يَمُوتُ "put your trust in the living One, who never dies"
39:13 because Muhammad is dead. And when you put his name
39:17 When you put Muhammad's name, a human creature
39:21 of God next to God, the name of God, this is worshiping without knowing it. So, you're
39:26 worshiping Muhammad without knowing it because you do not follow the Quran that came out
39:31 of Muhammad's mouth because of your reverence for Muhammad, which is - another word for
39:36 it is idol-worship. The Quran tells you (2:285) لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍۢ مِّن رُّسُلِهِ
39:41 Do not make any distinction among the prophets or the messengers of God
39:45 وَقَالُوا۟ سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا
39:46 In other words, you do not argue, we say "we hear and we obey, we do not make any distinction." But you defy this and you're
39:51 making a distinction, and all this because you love Muhammad too much. Now, Loving Muhammad
39:56 too much is like the Christians loving Jesus too much and worshiping him.
40:00 And therefore, worshiping Muhammad, or doing or practicing SHIRK - God says there is a law
40:08 (5:72) إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشْرِكْ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدْ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْجَنَّةَ that heaven is forbidden
40:12 for those who make SHIRK. And SHIRK by definition, when you say
40:17 لا اله الا الله محمد رسول الله This is SHIRK by definition, because
40:21 let me put it to you in human terms. If you invite me to your house for dinner,
40:25 you're gonna invite me alone, right? Abdel Rahman: Yes.
40:27 Dr. Khalifa: You say "Rashad, come to my house alone by yourself" and this will "I'm coming to
40:31 your house alone." However, you can also say "I will invite
40:36 you to dinner to my house, but bring your servant with you." Okay? Then, I'm not invited
40:42 alone anymore. This is SHIRK. There is a SHARIKA, more than one person, coming to your house.
40:48 Even though you are acknowledging that that other person is my servant, it still is SHIRK.
40:54 So, when you say لا اله الا الله محمد رسول الله This is SHIRK by definition,
40:58 and this is exactly why God teaches us in the Quran that the SHAHADA is لا اله الا الله
41:03 The SHAHADA of "ALLAH", "AL-MALA'EKA", the angels, and the "ULULELM", the people who know.
41:09 Abdel Rahman: Correct me if I am wrong...
41:10 Dr. Khalifa: So, Mohammedans is the correct expression to describe...
41:13 Abdel Rahman: If I'm a Muslim, and I will say "LA ILLAHA ILLA ALLAH", by saying "MUHAMMAD RASOOL ALLAH",
41:21 means that I approve, and admit, and bear witness that I will accept the message of
41:31 ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA came through Muhammad... Dr. Khalifa: No. You are doing the opposite. When you
41:37 say: "LA ILLAHA ILLA ALLAH MUHAMMAD RASOOL ALLAH", you are saying "I reject Muhammad
41:41 and his message." This is what it means. Abdel Rahman: How? Explain it to me.
41:44 Dr. Khalifa: By breaking the commandments in the Quran. By breaking the commandment of making distinction
41:50 among the prophets. By making... putting another name besides the name of God
41:57 and violating the basic principles of the Quran. Abdel Rahman: I'm a putting a name inside by my God because Dr. Khalifa: But that's against...
42:05 loving Muhammad is loving God. Because Muhammad, he devoted most of his life
42:10 to ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA, to His message, in His path. I love him; by loving Muhammad... Dr. Khalifa: If you love him...
42:16 Dr. Khalifa: Why do you disobey him then? if you love him, why do you disobey him?
42:19 He told you "do not make distinction among the messengers."
42:22 He told you that the SHAHADA is "LA ILAHA ILLA ALLAH."
42:25 So, why do you continue to disobey him then
42:27 if you love him, if you really love him? Why don't you obey him? Why do you not follow
42:30 the Quran that came out of his mouth? You know we have to think about that.
42:36 Abdel Rahman: I'm listening to you doctor Khalifa. Go ahead. Dr. Khalifa: The issue
42:40 إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ وَمَلَٰٓئِكَتَهُۥ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِىِّ ۚ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ (33:56) صَلُّوا۟ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا۟ تَسْلِيمًا
42:47 Abdel Rahman: You do not believe in this. Dr. Khalifa: Of course, I believe in this.
42:50 Abdel Rahman: You believe in this? Dr. Khalifa: Yes.
42:51 Abdel Rahman: How do you believe in it? Dr. Khalifa: Well, do you know what يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى means?
42:54 Abdel Rahman: What means?
42:55 Dr. Khalifa: Do you know what "AL-NABI" means, in the Quran? Also do you know that thirteen verses before
43:00 this, God says He and His angels do the same thing for every believer?
43:04 Abdel Rahman: Yes. Dr. Khalifa: In the same SURA.
43:05 It says
43:06 يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ o you who believe, ٱذْكُرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ذِكْرًۭا كَثِيرًۭا commemorate
43:11 God continuously. (33:42) وَسَبِّحُوهُ بُكْرَةًۭ وَأَصِيلًا
43:14 Glorify Him day and night.
43:16 هُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُصَلِّى عَلَيْكُمْ وَمَلَٰٓئِكَتُهُۥ لِيُخْرِجَكُم مِّنَ ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ إِلَى (33:43) ٱلنُّورِ
43:22 So إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ وَمَلَٰٓئِكَتَهُۥ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِىِّ
43:24 because AL-NABI is one of the believers.
43:27 Why? "To take him out of the darkness into the light", just like the other verse. And it says "o, you who
43:32 believe do the same thing, help him also, come out of the darkness into the light."
43:35 This is what it says. You have to understand...
43:38 Hold it. Hold it. You have to understand what the verse means, because Satan messed up this verse
43:43 for the Muslims and made them, instead of (33:41) ٱذْكُرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ذِكْرًۭا كَثِيرًۭا (33:42) وَسَبِّحُوهُ بُكْرَةًۭ وَأَصِيلًا
43:49 AL-SHAYTAN AL-LA'IN, Satan decided that he's gonna make the people
43:53 commemorate Muhammad day and night, and یسبحوه محمد day and night, instead of God
43:58 So, they keep saying اللهم صلی علی محمد
44:00 صلی علی وسلم عليه صلاة وسلام
44:02 Instead of saying "SUBHAN ALLAH", "LA ILAHA ILLA ALLAH" and so on. So, SHAYTAN, Satan succeeded
44:06 in tricking and duping the Muslims into commemorating Muhammad instead of God
44:11 by messing up the meaning of this verse. Now, the expression "AL-NABI" in the Quran,
44:17 you have to watch this, and I challenge the so called "ULUMA" in this subject, because
44:23 "AL-NABI" in the Quran is always in the Quran during his lifetime, when he was alive,
44:28 the word "AL-NABI." Like (49:2) لَا تَرْفَعُوٓا۟ أَصْوَٰتَكُمْ فَوْقَ صَوْتِ ٱلنَّبِىِّ
44:34 How can you carry out this commandment now? "Do not raise your voice over the voice
44:37 of the prophet" when he is dead? This means, you don't speak at all because his voice is still
44:44 if you do it now. So the word NABI
44:47 (65:1) يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ إِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ ٱلنِّسَآءَ
44:49 How can the prophet divorce his wife when he's dead?
44:52 (66:1) يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ لِمَ تُحَرِّمُ مَآ أَحَلَّ ٱللَّهُ لَكَ
44:54 So, consistently in the Quran the word NABI is during his lifetime. So,
44:59 (33:56) إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ وَمَلَٰٓئِكَتَهُۥ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِىِّ means Muhammad during his lifetime.
45:03 يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ صَلُّوا۟ عَلَيْه during his life time, help him, support him,
45:08 during his lifetime, not after he's dead, and every time you hear his name...
45:11 Abdel Rahman: ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA, He always precisely
45:15 in the Quran when He mentions the things we are carrying it as it is because we follow the
45:19 Quran as you said. ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA said يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟
45:24 in the time of the messenger means after the death of the messenger, do not صَلُّوا۟ عَلَيْ
45:29 Muhammad. Dr. Khalifa: But, you don't know what the meaning of صَلُّوا۟ عَلَيْه means.
45:32 Abdel Rahman: Pray to him, like... Dr. Khalifa: No.
45:34 Abdel Rahman: Or supporting him. Dr. Khalifa: Right.
45:35 Abdel Rahman: That's all supporting...?
45:37 Dr. Khalifa: SALLU comes from the word SALA, contact, connection, stay close to him, help him,
45:42 support him. It doesn't mean...it doesn't say: "say صلی علی وسلم" because it contradicts itself.
45:48 You know, it says in the beginning إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ وَمَلَٰٓئِكَتَهُۥ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِىِّ
45:52 So, do you agree that ٱللَّهَ وَمَلَٰٓئِكَتَهُۥ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِىِّ
45:54 Abdel Rahman: This is the present time. Dr. Khalifa: Yes. Hold it. Hold it.
45:57 Do you agree that ٱللَّهَ وَمَلَٰٓئِكَتَهُۥ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِىِّ
45:59 Abdel Rahman: Yes, I do. Dr. Khalifa: So ٱللَّهَ وَمَلَٰٓئِكَتَهُۥ now يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِىِّ Abdel Rahman: Yes.
46:02 Dr. Khalifa: So, why are you telling Him to صَلُّوا عَلَى ٱلنَّبِىِّ if He's doing it?
46:05 Abdel Rahman: Since ALLAH and His angels praying on Muhammad, I am as a Muslim, should pray on Muhammad,
46:13 and on every single Muslim who is believes in Islam.
46:17 Dr. Khalifa: Yeah, but according to you, you are saying "اللهم صلی علی محمد" right? Abdel Rahman: Yes.
46:20 Dr. Khalifa: But already ALLAH tells you that
46:22 He is making SALAT on Muhammad. Abdel Rahman: That's why I ask ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA to accept my
46:26 praying to Muhammad. Dr. Khalifa: No, but He's already doing it. You're asking
46:29 God to do what He's saying He's doing. Abdel Rahman: For me.
46:31 Dr. Khalifa: But you can see that Satan messed up the meaning of this verse. What this really means is during
46:36 the prophet Muhammad's time, because of the use of the word "AL-NABI"; o you who believe,
46:41 support him and help him and stay in touch with him. This is what it means. But the Muslims
46:45 messed it up and Satan uses it to make the Muslims worship Muhammad instead of God. This is why
46:51 I call them Mohammedans. Abdel Rahman: So, we shouldn't actually do that. We shouldn't
46:57 actually mention Muhammad in - as I saw you in the prayer, JUM'AH prayer here, you never mentioned
47:06 Muhammad for anything. Dr. Khalifa: I'll mention if I need to. I mean, what do we mention him for?
47:09 Abdel Rahman: You never mentioned. You said - I mean, it's not...
47:12 Dr. Khalifa: What do you wanna mention him for? Abdel Rahman: You don't have to mention.
47:14 Dr. KHalifa: Why? Abdel Rahman: I'm a Muslim, you already know.
47:16 Dr. Khalifa: I'm asking you, why do you wanna mention Muhammad?
47:18 Abdel Rahman: As a messenger of God. Dr. Khalifa: Well, the Quran says only the hypocrites say
47:22 that. Only the hypocrites declare that Muhammad is "RASOOL ALLAH", because we know that Muhammad
47:27 is "RASOOL ALLAH." We don't need to say it. Abdel Rahman: Okay.
47:29 Dr. Khalifa: Okay. It says
47:30 إِذَا جَآءَكَ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقُونَ قَالُوا۟ نَشْهَدُ إِنَّكَ لَرَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ (63:1) إِنَّكَ لَرَسُولُهُۥ وَٱللَّهُ يَشْهَدُ إِنَّ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَ لَكَٰذِبُونَ
47:36 So, throughout the Quran only the hypocrites say اشهد ان محمد رسول الله
47:42 Abdel Rahman: So, actually you're ignoring completely the, the way Muhammad used to live, and to ignoring
47:52 to reject for us as a Muslim to know how Muhammad he used to live his right way according to
47:58 the Quran, so we have to follow it. Dr. Khalifa: Are you ignoring the way Muhammad used to
48:01 live? Abdel Rahman: No, I would be glad to go for it.
48:03 Dr. Khalifa: So, why are you wearing a tie? Did he wear a tie?
48:06 Abdel Rahman: I'm not going for... we are not going for outside as much inside in praying, worshipping...
48:12 Dr. Khalifa: Now, wait a minute. You're talking about the way he lived.
48:14 Abdel Rahman: The way he used to live in belief... Dr. Khalifa: Do you have your camel parking out there?
48:18 Abdel Rahman: In behaving muslim, see, you are going for outside. Now, for the service we are going
48:23 for inside, the way he performed with the Quran, how he used to pray.
48:27 Dr. Khalifa: Do you agree that he gave the Quran? Abdel Rahman: Yes.
48:30 Dr. Khalifa: Do you agree that his source was the Quran? Abdel Rahman: Yes. How...
48:33 Dr. Khalifa: Even according to Hadith it says کان خلقه القرآن Abdel Rahman: Yes.
48:36 Dr. Khalifa: He represented the Quran, right? Abdel Rahman: Yes.
48:38 Dr. Khalifa: And now we have the Quran. Abdel Rahman: Okay.
48:40 Dr. Khalifa: So, therefore if you want to follow Muhammad, you follow the Quran.
48:43 Abdel Rahman: Okay. How do you know... Dr. Khalifa: Wait a minute. Is this true?
48:45 Abdel Rahman: It's true. Dr. Khalifa: Alright. So, this is what we're doing.
48:47 We're following the Quran, which means we're following Muhammad.
48:51 However, Muhammad's job was to deliver the message. He did the job. He did a good job.
48:58 And he's gone, and that's his role. He cannot guide you.
49:01 Abdel Rahman: And that's it, no more? We don't have to think of...
49:03 Dr. Khalifa: It's what the Quran says (5:99) مَّا عَلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ إِلَّا ٱلْبَلَٰغُ two negatives
49:07 (5:99) مَّا عَلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ إِلَّا ٱلْبَلَٰغُ Abdel Rahman: I think, as far as I know, in this SURA, it means like
49:13 you, Muhammad, do not force people to believe in Islam. You are only responsible for delivering
49:20 the message, not to force it. Dr. Khalifa: No. No, this is a general statement that is not violated anywhere
49:23 in the Quran, it is repeated. (5:99) مَّا عَلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ إِلَّا ٱلْبَلَٰغُ
49:26 (24:54) عَلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ إِلَّا ٱلْبَلَٰغُ ٱلْمُبِينُ And repeated many times.
49:30 So, the sole function of the prophet or the messenger is to deliver the message.
49:33 Abdel Rahman: That's all? Dr. Khalifa: (28:56) إِنَّكَ لَا تَهْدِى مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ
49:35 Abdel Rahman: وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ Dr. Khalifa: Right.
49:37 Abdel Rahman: This is also supporting the same AYA, so you said it now. It's like you don't force it on people for believing,
49:44 no, you just deliver the message, and you perform it, and teach the people how to do it.
49:49 Dr. Khalifa: No, no, no. Now, you are adding other things,
49:51 because it says (5:99) مَّا عَلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ إِلَّا ٱلْبَلَٰغُ
49:54 There's nothing else. Abdel Rahman: These people come to the mosque here, who they follow? They follow you, how to do, right?
49:59 Dr. Khalifa: No, they follow the Quran. They don't follow me. Abdel Rahman: You teach them,
50:02 Abdel Rahman: you hold this Quran and you teach them in the Quran, so they sit and listen
50:05 and look at you, and they say that's right, that's right. Who is right?
50:08 Dr. Khalifa: The Quran. Abdel Rahman: Doctor Khalifa right in a way of interpreting the
50:12 Quran here. So, I am following doctor Khalifa. I am not actually... Dr. Khalifa: No, you are not.
50:16 Dr. Khalifa: You follow doctor Khalifa then you're not right.
50:18 Abdel Rahman: It's not right? Dr Khalifa: That's right.
50:19 Abdel Rahman: Okay. Let's also... Dr. Khalifa: Anybody here, and we all know this, we do
50:22 not follow any person. And we emphasize here we are worshipers of God alone, we follow
50:27 the word of God alone, and if I ever say anything that is not in the Quran and it contradicts
50:32 with the Quran, I'm the first one to appreciate alerting me to this, because then I'm wrong.
50:37 Abdel Rahman: If I am following... Dr. Khalifa: Nobody follows me.
50:39 Abdel Rahman: If I am following the Quran, why should I come to this mosque to listen to Khalifa?
50:42 Dr. Khalifa: You don't need to. You don't need to. Abdel Rahman: ...here, I look at it in the house. I don't need to leave it
50:45 to mister, doctor Khalifa, right? Dr. Khalifa: That's right.
50:48 Abdel Rahman: That's right. Dr. Khalifa: Absolutely, you don't need anybody, you don't
50:50 need Rashad Khalifa or anybody. You just...if you have the Quran, you don't need anybody because
50:54 you follow the Quran and nothing else. Abdel Rahman: You said in your brochures here also, Islam being
51:02 practiced today. Dr. Khalifa: Can I go back to your question,
51:06 why we come here to the mosque? Abdel Rahman: Yes.
51:08 Dr. Khalifa: There's a commandment in the Quran that says
51:10 وَٱصْبِرْ نَفْسَكَ مَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُم بِٱلْغَدَوٰةِ وَٱلْعَشِىِّ (18:28) يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُۥ
51:14 It says "force yourself to be with those who worship God alone." Because it's a social function. This is why
51:20 God instituted the Friday Prayer every week, so all the believers who follow the Quran
51:23 alone must get together. They must know each other. They must be united, as you know. Throughout
51:28 the Quran these instructions are there. This is the only reason we are here.
51:32 And there are replicas of this masjid in many other places around the world who do not have Rashad Khalifa there
51:39 because we have our leader is the Quran. Our imam is the Quran. Our guide
51:43 is the Quran, the word of God. We are worshippers of God alone. And we go out of our way to destroy persons
51:50 or idols of any kind, alive or dead. So, this is the reason we get together here.
51:58 Abdel Rahman: In your brochures, you had also, if you can comment in this, please - you said here "Islam being practiced today is severely corrupted beyond recognition."
52:09 Can you elaborate on this for me, please? Dr. Khalifa: Absolutely. The Muslims in the world today do not do
52:15 anything according to the prophet Muhammad's teachings. You, for example, did you make WUDU, today?
52:22 Abdel Rahman: Yes, I do. Dr. Khalifa: Okay. Can you describe it to me?
52:24 Abdel Rahman: As usual.
52:26 Dr. Khalifa: Okay, go ahead, describe it. Number one, you open the faucet.
52:30 Abdel Rahman: Yeah. Dr. Khalifa: You wash your hand.
52:31 Abdel Rahman: Yes. Dr. Khalifa: Okay.
52:32 Abdel Rahman: I wash my face. Dr. Khalifa: Okay.
52:34 Abdel Rahman: Arms. Dr. Khalifa: Yeah.
52:35 Abdel Rahman: My feet. Dr. Khalifa: Yeah.
52:37 Abdel Rahman: That's as far as I know. Dr. Khalifa: Okay, you didn't do your head.
52:41 Abdel Rahman: Yes, I do my hair. Dr. Khalifa: You didn't...
52:43 Abdel Rahman: My ears. Dr. Khalifa: Your ears.
52:44 Abdel Rahman: My mouth, that's Sunnah. You said you don't follow Sunnah. According to...
52:48 Dr. Khalifa: I'm asking you what you did. About your actions today...
52:51 Abdel Rahman: Well, exactly what I did. I said "NAWAYTO SUNNAH AL-WUDU", there's Sunnah before Fajr.
52:58 Sunnah is me washing my mouth, because I'm going to stand next to someone, I don't
53:03 wanna him to smell my smell. So, I wash my mouth, wash my nose... Dr. Khalifa: Being bothered by bad breath.
53:12 Dr. Khalifa: Okay, so you wash your hands first? Abdel Rahman: Yes.
53:13 Dr. Khalifa: Okay, then you wash your mouth? Abdel Rahman: Yes.
53:15 Dr. Khalifa: Then your nose? Abdel Rahman: Yes, wash my nose, and my face.
53:18 Dr. Khalifa: Then, you wash your face. Abdel Rahman: And my arms.
53:20 Dr. Khalifa: Your arms. Abdel Rahman: My hair.
53:22 Dr. Khalifa: Your hair. Abdel Rahman: My ears.
53:23 Dr. Khalifa: Your ears. Abdel Rahman: My feet.
53:24 Dr. Khalifa: My feet. 8 steps. Abdel Rahman: Yes.
53:26 They're 8 steps, right? Abdel Rahman: Yes.
53:28 Dr. Khalifa: Okay, now if we look in the Quran, this is what came out of Muhammad's mouth.
53:33 I'm taking you as an example, because you're telling me that the Muslims practice something that is
53:37 corrupted, severely corrupted. If you look in the Quran, what came out of
53:41 Mohammad's mouth the following
53:43 يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِذَا قُمْتُمْ إِلَى ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ فَٱغْسِلُوا۟ وُجُوهَكُمْ وَأَيْدِيَكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْمَرَافِقِ وَٱمْسَحُوا۟ بِرُءُوسِكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ إِلَى (5:6) ٱلْكَعْبَيْن
53:52 4 steps. Now, Satan will not accept that. He has to
53:56 have his 4 steps also. Abdel Rahman: And this will hurt Islam if we add 2 or 3?
54:00 Dr. Khalifa: Of course. Abdel Rahman: If I wash my hands...
54:01 Dr. Khalifa: Yes. Abdel Rahman: If I wash my hands and wash my ears, and if
54:06 I wash thoroughly, if I clean myself, that will hurt Islam?
54:09 Dr. Khalifa: Absolutely. You're not following the Quran. Abdel Rahman: If I pray to ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA, He says
54:13 pray to God... Dr. Khalifa: Wait, hold it, hold it, let's stay with the
54:15 WUDU. We're gonna go to other examples. I wanna show you that Muslims do not do anything
54:21 according to Muhammad's teachings. Out of Muhammad's mouth came the teaching
54:25 that we should have 4 steps. You made 8 steps. 4 from God and 4 from Satan.
54:31 Abdel Rahman: What's wrong with that? Dr. Khalifa: So, you have a...
54:32 This is what is wrong with it. Abdel Rahman: What is wrong with it?
54:34 Dr. Khalifa: You have a SHARIK. You have another god besides God telling you - who told you to do additional
54:38 4 steps? Another god! Abdel Rahman: It's more clean.
54:42 Dr. Khalifa: Well, why don't you take a bath? Abdel Rahman: I take a bath sometime.
54:45 Dr. Khalifa: Well, fine, but this has... Abdel Rahman: Whil you take a bath, there is no need for WUDU
54:48 Dr. Khalifa: We're talking about the worship, okay? This is talking about ablution as an act of worship. Abdel Rahman: Yes.
54:52 Dr. Khalifa: I brush my teeth in the morning when I get up
54:54 but this has nothing to do with worship. This is my hygienic practices.
54:58 Abdel Rahman: Yes. Dr. Khalifa: Okay. But we're talking about the WUDU as
55:01 a form of worship. Do the Muslims follow what came out of Mohammad's mouth? The answer is for
55:07 you "no." You are not following... No. Abdel Rahman: Yes, the answer is yes.
55:09 Dr. Khalifa: No, you're not. Abdel Rahman: I follow it, and I add some more.
55:12 Dr. Khalifa: Exactly, you add some more. Abdel Rahman: Some more to be more careful.
55:16 Dr. Khalifa: Right. Either you know better than God, or you have another god that is adding steps
55:20 to you. What is the source of the other 4 steps?
55:24 Abdel Rahman: Excuse me, doctor Khalifa, this is a mercy of ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA when He say "you
55:28 people pray 2 RAKAT" and I come to the mosque, I do pray 4 RAKAT. It's mean like I'm not
55:33 following God. I'm praying for You ALLAH 2 RAKAT, and I added 2 RAKAT for extra for
55:40 me to make it more... Dr. Khalifa: No. Then, you have another god who told you
55:44 to do 2 extra RAKATs. Because the number of RAKATs is mathematically coded according to
55:49 God in the Quran, according to God's system. And if you add anything else, then you have
55:53 another god who told you to do those two RAKATs.
55:56 Let me show you from the Quran. Okay? Abdel Rahman: Yes.
55:59 Dr. Khalifa: ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA ordered the angels to fall prostrate, make SUJUD before Adam,
56:03 right? Abdel Rahman: Yes.
56:04 Dr. Khalifa: They fell prostrate before Adam. Who were they worshiping?
56:08 Who? They made SUJUD before Adam. Who were they worshiping?
56:13 Abdel Rahman: Who were they worshiping? Dr. Khalifa: Who? Abdel Rahman: Who?
56:16 Dr. Khalifa: God. The source of the order, right? Abdel Rahman: God.
56:18 Abdel Rahman: Yes. Dr. Khalifa: They were not worshiping Adam. Even though
56:20 they were making SUJUD before Adam. Abdel Rahman: Yes.
56:23 Dr. Khalifa: They are worshiping the source of the order. Abdel Rahman: Okay.
56:25 Dr. Khalifa: So, if you make SUJUD to God because Muhammad told you to make SUJUD to God, you're not
56:30 worshiping God. You're worshiping the source of the order, Muhammad.
56:33 Do you understand me? You are breaking the mathematical code. The
56:36 number of RAKATs. If God told you to do 2 RAKATs, you must do 2 RAKATs. If you add more,
56:43 then you... Abdel Rahman: That's against Islam.
56:45 Dr. Khalifa: Exactly. Abdel Rahman: I should do exactly 2 RAKATs, no more, no less?
56:48 Dr. Khalifa: That's right. In your WUDU, you must do the 4 steps, no more and no less. Okay, this is
56:54 WUDU. Abdel Rahman: Yes.
56:55 Dr. Khalifa: Now, I ask another question about SALAT. Did you pray the Noon yesterday?
57:00 Abdel Rahman: Yes. Dr. Khalifa: Did you do it silently or loudly?
57:05 Abdel Rahman: Silently. Dr. Khalifa: This is against the Quran. You are not obeying
57:08 the prophet Muhammad here. Abdel Rahman: Why?
57:09 Dr. Khalifa: Because if you look in SURA 17, verse 110, it says
57:12 لَا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلَاتِكَ وَلَا تُخَافِتْ بِهَا
57:16 وَٱبْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ سَبِيلًۭا
57:17 Dr. Khalifa: Exactly. Abdel Rahman: Which one? the Noon one? Dr. Khalifa: 110. Abdel Rahman: The Noon SALAT or all the SALAT?
57:23 Dr. Khalifa: All the SALAT, didn't say the Noon or what. It said
57:25 لَا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلَاتِكَ وَلَا تُخَافِتْ بِهَا
57:28 Do not say your SALAT in a loud voice or secretly."
57:31 Therefore, when you do it secretly, you have
57:34 another god who told you to do it secretly. Abdel Rahman: No. According to my knowledge...
57:38 Dr. Khalifa: Why do you not follow the Quran? Abdel Rahman: Well, let me comment on this.
57:41 Dr. Khalifa: No, the point that I'm making is that the Muslims are not following the Quran or Muhammad.
57:47 Abdel Rahman: You are damaging, excuse me for this expression and I hope you will correct me if I'm wrong,
57:53 you are damaging completely the "TA'LIM" of Muhammad (SAW), even
57:59 in his early days, like Muhammad he followed and he and his follower were silent in doing
58:08 SALAT, in Noon prayer and in ASR, afternoon prayer. Dr. Khalifa: Yes.
58:12 Abdel Rahman: Because they were weak at that time. They were weak at that time, and they were aware, afraid of the KAFERUN.
58:20 Dr. Khalifa: Are you weak now? Are you afraid of the KAFERIN attack you? Abdel Rahman: No, that's why we follow his way.
58:25 Dr. Khalifa: So, but he left you the Quran... Abdel Rahman: It's like when you follow a Christmas way,
58:30 as a remembering. It's not damaging, sometimes... Dr. Khalifa: So, you disobey the Quran in other words.
58:38 Abdel Rahman: No, we... Dr. Khalifa: Did you see the prophet pray silently?
58:41 Abdel Rahman: No, this is the Sunnah... Dr. Khalifa: This is what you heard, right?
58:44 Abdel Rahman: Yes. Dr. Khalifa: So, you follow hearsay, and you don't follow
58:48 the Quran. Abdel Rahman: Okay.
58:49 Dr. Khalifa: Right? Abdel Rahman: Okay. This...
58:51 Dr. Khalifa: What do you mean okay? Abdel Rahman: Well, I'm not gonna go through this because...
58:54 Dr. Khalifa: You are saying that I'm destroying all the TA'LIM of Muhammad, right?
58:57 Abdel Rahman: Mmmhmm. Dr. Khalifa: And I tell you I hope I'm destroying
58:59 what you think is TA'LIM of Muhammad because it is not.
59:03 TA'LIM of Muhammad is in the Quran, and he told you not to do the prayer silent.
59:08 Now, again, can you tell me what you say in your SALAT sitting down? In the sitting position.
59:14 Abdel Rahman: Yes, I noticed also in your SALAT as soon as you sit you said السلام عليكم ورحمة الله
59:18 السلام عليكم ورحمة الله I mean, you didn't say anything at all, right?
59:21 Dr. Khalifa: What do you say?
59:22 Abdel Rahman: التَّحِيَّاتُ وَالصَّلَوَاتُ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ لِلَّهِ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رسول اللَّهِ
59:36 السلام عليكم ورحمة الله السلام عليكم ورحمة الله
59:37 Dr. Khalifa: You don't say اللهم صلی علی محمد و آل محمد
59:39 Abdel Rahman: Well, that's extra. You don't have to say it.
59:41 Dr. Khalifa: Okay. Now, this what you just said here nullifies the SALAT, okay? It makes it zero.
59:48 Abdel Rahman: Do you know the occasion of this one? Dr. Khalifa: It violates the Quran and makes it absolutely
59:54 null and void and useless and a waste of time. Even worse, it makes you a MUSHRIK. Because the Quran says
1:00:02 (72:18) وَأَنَّ ٱلْمَسَـٰجِدَ لِلَّهِ فَلَا تَدْعُوا۟ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ أَحَدًۭا
1:00:06 That the mosque or the masjid or places of SUJUD belong to God, you shall not mention anybody else
1:00:12 أَحَدًۭا anybody else with God. So, when you sit down and you mention the name
1:00:16 of Muhammad or, AL-NABI in the Quran, you're finished. You're a dead duck. The SALAT
1:00:20 doesn't mean a thing. You are disobeying God and disobeying the prophet.
1:00:24 So, as you see, the Muslims are practicing a religion that has nothing to with Muhammad.
1:00:30 And they misunderstand that. As you see, the WUDU is wrong. The AZAN is wrong.
1:00:36 The AZAN that they do - can you tell me any AZAN in any place in the Muslim world that is devoted
1:00:42 to ALLAH alone? Anywhere in the world? Abdel Rahman: Well, what the AZAN says?
1:00:47 Well why? It's always devoted to ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA Dr. Khalifa: It doesn't mention Muhammad at all?
1:00:53 Abdel Rahman: No, It's mentioning Muhammad is against the religion. By mentioning... once you mention
1:00:57 Muhammad, it's like اشهد ان لا اله الا الله و اشهد ان محمدا رسول الله
1:01:02 It's mean I bear witness there is no god but one God, and Muhammad is the messenger
1:01:08 of God. It's mean, this is the last messenger of God.
1:01:10 Dr. Khalifa: Well, the fact is that the AZAN is not devoted to God alone. There is Muhammad in it.
1:01:16 Abdel Rahman: Okay, Muhammad, he is the messenger. He deliver the message to me.
1:01:19 Dr. Khalifa: Yeah, but he delivered a message telling you to only mention God alone.
1:01:24 (72:18) وَأَنَّ ٱلْمَسَـٰجِدَ لِلَّهِ فَلَا تَدْعُوا۟ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ أَحَدًۭا
1:01:26 This is very clear Arabic. It's telling you that this worship belongs to God, do not mention any other names.
1:01:32 And you're telling "forget it. I'm gonna mention Muhammad next to You."
1:01:36 You are defying God and defying Muhammad. You are going against the Quran.
1:01:41 So, let us just think, you know. The Muslims are doing the AZAN wrong, the WUDU wrong,
1:01:45 the SALAT wrong, the ZAKAT wrong, the SIYAM wrong, HAJJ wrong.
1:01:49 Abdel Rahman: How they do that, because I would like to go through also the points that you said?
1:01:54 Dr. Khalifa: Okay, you heard about the AZAN. You hear about the WUDU.
1:01:57 Abdel Rahman: Yes. Dr. Khalifa: You heard about the SALAT.
1:01:58 Abdel Rahman: Yes. Dr. Khalifa: And now we come to ZAKAT, for example.
1:02:01 Abdel Rahman: Yes. Dr. Khalifa: Okay. If you look in SURA number 6, verse
1:02:04 141. It says that the ZAKAT must be given on the day of harvest.
1:02:11 وَءَاتُوا۟ حَقَّهُۥ يَوْمَ حَصَادِهِ
1:02:14 Okay? Now, we, you and I, harvest paychecks or
1:02:19 dollars. We do not harvest wheat and corn and so on, right? Abdel Rahman: Yes.
1:02:23 Dr. Khalifa: So, the day we receive any money, we must give the ZAKAT on that day immediately,
1:02:28 according to the Quran's teachings as who receives the ZAKAT and so on.
1:02:33 Now, the Muslims give the zakat once a year. Which means what? The hungry people have to
1:02:37 wait a year before they get the assistance. Abdel Rahman: I know there is a distinguish between ZAKAT
1:02:43 and the SADAQA. Dr. Khalifa: Well, we're talking about ZAKAT.
1:02:46 We're talking about ZAKAT.
1:02:47 (6:141) وَءَاتُوا۟ حَقَّهُۥ يَوْمَ حَصَادِهِ
1:02:49 the ZAKAT is "HAQ", must be... Abdel Rahman: You interpret ZAKAT - "HAQ" means ZAKAT?
1:02:55 Dr. Khalifa: No. I mean, it's very clear in the verse. It says (6:141) وَءَاتُوا۟ حَقَّهُۥ يَوْمَ حَصَادِهِ
1:03:00 Abdel Rahman: "HAQ" who?
1:03:01 Dr. Khalifa: ZAKAT of the harvest. Abdel Rahman: It didn't mention ZAKAT now. Now, we are going by your word.
1:03:06 Dr. Khalifa: So, what is it? What is "حَقَّهُۥ"?
1:03:08 Abdel Rahman: What's "حَقَّهُۥ" means? Abdel Rahman: Yeah, you tell me what "حَقَّهُۥ" means.
1:03:10 Dr. Khalifa: If you read the verse.
1:03:13 Abdel Rahman: "HAQ" means "SADAQA", mean... Dr. Khalifa: No, SADAQA is not "HAQ." SADAQA is voluntary.
1:03:17 OK. There's a difference between ZAKAT and SADAQA. The ZAKAT is obligatory. The SADAQA
1:03:23 and there's "HAQ." Abdel Rahman: Yes.
1:03:26 Dr. Khalifa: But the SADAQA is voluntary. It's any charitable act that you do to any poor person.
1:03:31 Okay? Abdel Rahman: There is ZAKAT for Ramadan, and there is also
1:03:35 another ZAKAT for your money. Dr. Khalifa: Yeah, there is just only one ZAKAT. It's one ZAKAT which is came to
1:03:42 us from EBRAHIM. ربع العشر 2.5%. It came very simple "ربع العشر"
1:03:48 And it is given as soon as you receive any income, whenever you receive any income. But the Muslims do it
1:03:55 wrong, do it once a year on their savings. That's not the way it should be.
1:04:00 Abdel Rahman: How also you explain the fasting? Dr. Khalifa: Well, the fasting, they do not - they never agree on
1:04:08 the beginning or the end of Ramadan, as you know.
1:04:11 They quit any productive work during the month of Ramadan.
1:04:15 They become obnoxious creatures, and they are angry easily, and they're very bad people
1:04:21 and they blame it on the fasting. This is not the way to do SIYAM.
1:04:25 And the HAJJ is ruined by going to Medina and worshipping at the tomb of the prophet.
1:04:30 Abdel Rahman: No, this has nothing to do with HAJJ. Everybody knows that when you go to visit the mosque
1:04:38 of RASOOL (عليه صلاة وسلام), it's extra. Dr. Khalifa: Hadith says that "HAJJ is not complete
1:04:43 without visiting my tomb." And I don't know when he said that, when he was alive or dead?
1:04:51 But this - whether it is part of the HAJJ or not, it destroys the HAJJ.
1:04:56 Abdel Rahman: Yeah, you said you translate the Quran, right? Dr. Khalifa: Yes.
1:05:00 Abdel Rahman: And you said "my translation was authorized by God."
1:05:04 Dr. Khalifa: Yes. Abdel Rahman: What do you mean by that? I would like you
1:05:07 to elaborate on this point. Dr. Khalifa: Well, when I started to translate, I didn't want
1:05:11 to publish it because I thought, I said "I will not publish it unless it's authorized",
1:05:16 and I demanded certain signs that it is authorized and I received the signs, and I published
1:05:21 it, and called it authorized. Abdel Rahman: How you did you receive it?
1:05:24 Dr. Khalifa: Well, that's a long story that's beyond this interview. So, let's leave it at that.
1:05:27 Abdel Rahman: Well, we would like to know it, you know. I think people would like to know how - what kind of authorization you say
1:05:32 Dr. Khalifa: Come to the conference and I'll give you the details. I'm gonna give the details
1:05:35 at the conference. Abdel Rahman: Can't you even give me a hint about it? Like here
1:05:38 probably here, you said "when I was in Mecca"... Dr. Khalifa: I can give you a few hints.
1:05:43 Abdel Rahman: Yes, go ahead, please. Dr. Khalifa: My English translation is the 19th translation.
1:05:48 And if you're aware of the mathematical code, the number 19 is the common denominator
1:05:56 in the Quran, in the previous scriptures, in you and me, in the universe. And also...
1:06:02 Abdel Rahman: You mean, if I'm a Muslim, I have to concentrate on nothing but numbers in Quran.
1:06:08 Quran is not numbers. Quran is spiritual... D. Khalifa: No, if you do that, you'd be wrong.
1:06:12 Abdel Rahman: Quran is spirit. Dr. Khalifa: Yeah.
1:06:13 Abdel Rahman: The most important thing... Dr. Khalifa: Just like...
1:06:15 Abdel Rahman: The Quran, the word of it, the constitution I have to follow it, the living life of it.
1:06:20 If you approve by numbers that it is the miracle of God, that's enough for me and I have to
1:06:27 move to another point. Dr. Khalifa: That's right, you bet.
1:06:29 Abdel Rahman: Okay. Dr. Khalifa: So, how many times did we talk
1:06:30 about the number 19, since we started? We're not concentrating on the number 19, you
1:06:36 are. Abdel Rahman: Okay, you concentrating...
1:06:39 Dr. Khalifa: We talked about SALAT, and ZAKAT, and HAJJ, and the Quran, and the teachings
1:06:42 in the Hadith, and so on. We didn't talk about the number 19.
1:06:45 Abdel Rahman: OK. let's talk about number 19 now. Dr. Khalifa: But anyway, the signs were abundant that this
1:06:52 Quran is authorized. I give here in the Muslim Perspective details about my name, and the verses
1:06:58 and the SURAs where my name is mentioned and so on. So, you have to look it up and come to
1:07:02 your own conclusions. This is why the translation is authorized.
1:07:05 Abdel Rahman: And that's why you claim that you are a messenger of God.
1:07:08 Dr. Khalifa: That's right. Abdel Rahman: You believe that you are a messenger of God, right?
1:07:11 Dr. Khalifa: Right. Abdel Rahman: How do you believe that? Why do you believe this?
1:07:15 Dr. Khalifa: Well, I gave you... like I said, I gave you several proofs.
1:07:18 Abdel Rahman: Give me. Dr. Khalifa: And there are many other proofs.
1:07:21 Abdel Rahman: One of the proof is the... Dr. Khalifa: The discovery of the mathematical code is one.
1:07:24 Abdel Rahman: I mean like...
1:07:26 Dr. Khalifa: This is something that's very simple. It's been in the Quran for 1400 years,
1:07:30 right? Abdel Rahman: But no one discovered it but you.
1:07:31 Dr. Khalifa: No one discovered it but me. Abdel Rahman: And that's why you are a messenger of God?
1:07:35 Dr. Khalifa: That's right. It's mean like the one who invented the aeroplanes,
1:07:39 the things I can't even reach my mind, I can't even - I can also put him as a messenger
1:07:45 of God because this is something... Dr. Khalifa: Okay, there are two points here. The first
1:07:48 point is that we're talking about the Quran which is a special, divinely controlled book.
1:07:54 As you heard in the KHUTBA, no one can touch a word in it unless they are sincere believers.
1:08:00 That's what God says. Do you believe that? Abdel Rahman: Yes, I do.
1:08:02 Dr. Khalifa: Do you believe God when He says that nobody will touch anything in the Quran unless he
1:08:06 is a sincere believer? Abdel Rahman: How do you say it in Arabic? How do you say it in Arabic?
1:08:10 Dr. Khalifa: It says (56:79) لَّا يَمَسُّهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْمُطَهَّرُونَ Abdel Rahman: (56:79) لَّا يَمَسُّهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْمُطَهَّرُونَ
1:08:13 The one who - has nothing to do with... Dr. Khalifa: Okay. It says
1:08:16 وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن ذُكِّرَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ رَبِّهِۦ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهَا وَنَسِىَ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ ۚ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ أَكِنَّةً أَن يَفْقَهُوهُ وَفِىٓ (18:57) ءَاذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًۭا
1:08:23 Abdel Rahman: Yes. Dr. Khalifa: So, the person who is not a believer in the
1:08:27 Quran will have shields on their heart "أَكِنَّةً عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِ".
1:08:30 وَفِىٓ ءَاذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًۭا and deafness in their ears... Abdel Rahman: has nothing to do with your point... Dr. Khalifa: Hold it.
1:08:33 وَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ جَعَلْنَا بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ (17:45) بِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ حِجَابًۭا مَّسْتُورًۭا
1:08:37 (18:57) جَعَلْنَا عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ أَكِنَّةً أَن يَفْقَهُوهُ وَفِىٓ ءَاذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًۭا Do you agree that the believers cannot
1:08:42 understand the Quran, according to this? Abdel Rahman: According to the Quran, yes.
1:08:47 Dr. Khalifa: Right. Therefore, the people who are not sincere, the people who are liars, the people who are
1:08:53 disbelievers, they cannot understand the Quran because God puts shields on their hearts,
1:08:58 their minds, and deafness in their ears. Do you agree?
1:09:00 Abdel Rahman: Yes. Dr. Khalifa: Okay, God says that.
1:09:02 Abdel Rahman: Okay. Dr. Khalifa: Therefore, if I am given access to the most
1:09:07 important secret in the Quran, can I be a disbeliever who tricked God and discovered
1:09:13 the Miracle of the Quran? Is this possible? Abdel Rahman: I think so...
1:09:19 Dr. Khalifa: Do you think anybody can trick God? Abdel Rahman: No.
1:09:23 Dr. Khalifa: Okay. So, any disbeliever cannot trick God and sneak behind His back and find something
1:09:29 in the Quran. Abdel Rahman: I think when you claim you are a messenger
1:09:31 of God, you are not tricking God. This is... Dr. Khalifa: No, no, no, I'm talking about discovering the Miracle
1:09:35 of the Quran as a sign of messengership. Abdel Rahman: Well, there are a lot of ways to discover,
1:09:40 hundreds, hundreds of scholars, they discovered that the Quran is miracle by its word, by
1:09:47 its verses. Dr. Khalifa: Inspired yes, then those are good people.
1:09:50 Dr. Khalifa: Are they good people? Abdel Rahman: They taught us how miracle, how beautiful the
1:09:55 Quran, by its words is, not by its numbers. It's fascinating when you understand the Quran
1:10:01 by its words, by the Quran itself. Dr. Khalifa: Are you familiar with the mathematical code?
1:10:07 Abdel Rahman: No, sir, I'm not. Dr. Khalifa: Okay, so you have to look at it and understand
1:10:12 it first to appreciate that. Anyway, it is... Dr. Khalifa: Do you think you can give a brief idea for
1:10:16 the audience? Dr. Khalifa: Yes. Absolutely, okay.
1:10:17 Abdel Rahman: Thank you. Dr. Khalifa: It's a psychical fact that "BISMI ALLAH AL-RAHMAN AL-RAHIM
1:10:20 which is the first verse in Quran consists of 19 letters.
1:10:23 It is a physical fact that the SURAs of the Quran are 114, 19x4.
1:10:28 It is a physical fact that the first words revealed were 19 words:
1:10:32 (96:1) ٱقْرَأْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ (96:2) خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ
1:10:36 (96:3) ٱقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ ٱلْأَكْرَمُ (96:4) ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَ بِٱلْقَلَمِ
1:10:38 (96:5) عَلَّمَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ These are 19 words.
1:10:40 It is a physical fact that this first SURA, SURA "Al-'Alaq", consists of 19 verses.
1:10:46 It is a physical fact that this SURA, "Al-'Alaq", is on top of the last 19 SURAs in the Quran.
1:10:52 It is a physical fact that "BISMI ALLAH AL-RAHMAN AL-RAHIM" - well, let me go to deeper facts.
1:11:00 The number of verses in the Quran is 6346, which is a multiple of 19.
1:11:06 If you count the word "ALLAH" in the Quran, you'll find that it is 2698, 19x142.
1:11:14 The word "Quran" in the Quran is mentioned 57 times, 19x3
1:11:19 in 38 SURAs, 19x2. When you take the verses where the word "Quran"
1:11:23 is mentioned, you find that the total is 2660, 19x140.
1:11:29 "ALLAH WAHDAHU" in the Quran, when you look at here in the index -
1:11:33 I will let you look it up yourself. Look here mister Abdel Salem. "WAHDAHU", when it
1:11:52 says about "ALLAH WAHDAHU", SURA 7, verse 70.
1:11:57 This is "AL-QURAN WAHDAHU", so we don't count it.
1:11:58 But here's "ALLAH WAHDAHU", 39:45... Abdel Rahman: I think - okay, I should look like this and
1:12:03 you can concentrate... Dr. Khalifa: No, you just get this from the library.
1:12:06 Abdel Rahman: You can do it, you can show me. Dr. Khalifa: No, this is - to look on this way.
1:12:10 But you get this "Al-Mu'jam Al-Mufahas", okay, from any library, any Islamic library, any Islamic center.
1:12:17 And look at page 745, and you look at the
1:12:21 SURAs and verses where "ALLAH WAHDAHU" is mentioned, okay?
1:12:24 SURA 7, verse 70. SURA 39, verse 45.
1:12:28 SURA 40, verses 12 and 84. SURA 60, verse 4.
1:12:32 You add these numbers, they come to 19x19. OK? The word "WAHED", when it refers to God is 19 times
1:12:41 So, this goes on and on, SURA "QAF"
1:12:44 has 57 QAFs, 19x3. SURA "NOON" has 133 NOONs, 19x7.
1:12:51 The 3 SURAs initialed with "SAAD" have 152 SAADs, 19x8.
1:12:56 And it goes on and on, I believe you saw it in the blue book.
1:12:59 Abdel Rahman: How do you... Dr. Khalifa: So, this proves that every letter...
1:13:03 Abdel Rahman: Yes. How do you count, calculate all of this from the Quran itself here, and at the same
1:13:10 time you say this Quran been injected with different letters in different SURAs? How? Well, now...
1:13:17 Dr. Khalifa: You mean that 2 verses? Abdel Rahman: There's only 2 verse been injected in the Quran?
1:13:21 Dr. Khalifa: Yeah.
1:13:22 Abdel Rahman: The rest of the Quran is perfect? Dr. Khalifa: Yes. This is how the 2 verses were discovered
1:13:26 because they stand out like a sore thumb. Abdel Rahman: What's that mean?
1:13:29 Dr. Khalifa: They ruin the words - listen to this - all the forms, all the forms of the word God are distorted
1:13:37 in these 2 verses. The word "ALLAH", there is 1 extra in these 2 verses.
1:13:40 Listen to me. The word "ALLAH", there are 2698 in the Quran. If you include these
1:13:46 two verses, it becomes 2699 which is not a multiple of 19.
1:13:50 The word "ILAH" is also by 1, and the word "RAB"...
1:13:55 Abdel Rahman: Let me show it to the audience before you go through
1:13:57 what kind of 2 verses doctor Khalifa is talking about. It is in the SURA
1:14:04 "TAWBAH" in the last 2 verses, says
1:14:07 لَقَدْ جَآءَكُمْ رَسُولٌۭ مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ عَزِيزٌ عَلَيْهِ مَا عَنِتُّمْ حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُم بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَءُوفٌۭ رَّحِيمٌۭ
1:14:16 فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَقُلْ حَسْبِىَ ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ ۖ وَهُوَ رَبُّ ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
1:14:23 Doctor Khalifa, he according to his words
1:14:27 says "this is not Quran. This is been injected in the Quran".
1:14:31 Dr. Khalifa: Yes. Abdel Rahman: Would you please explain?
1:14:33 Dr. Khalifa: No, you're going away from the subject now. Abdel Rahman: Okay.
1:14:36 Dr. Khalifa: From the Mathematical Code. Abdel Rahman: Yes.
1:14:38 Dr. Khalifa: The Mathematical Code proves that every letter in the Quran, except these 2 verses that were
1:14:42 humanly injected. Show me this book again, the two verses. Let me see it
1:14:51 Dr. Khalifa: Okay. These 2 verses are at the end of SURA number 9. OK.
1:15:01 Dr. Khalifa: I want you to read the title of the SURA to
1:15:04 the audience, okay? And zoom the camera on him.
1:15:08 He's gonna read the title of the SURA, everything that is written in here. SURA 9.
1:15:12 Abdel Rahman: SURA number 9. Dr. Khalifa: Yes.
1:15:14 Abdel Rahman: SURA AL-TAWBAH مدنیه الا الآیتین الاخیرتین مکیه و آیتها ۱۲۹ نزلت بعد المائدة
1:15:29 Dr. Khalifa: Okay. This says that this is SURA entitled
1:15:31 "AL-TAWBAH." It is a Medinan SURA except the last 2 verses. They were Meccan.
1:15:36 Now, if you go to Egypt and buy a coin that says on it "this was done in the year 350 BC,
1:15:44 will the people laugh at you or not?
1:15:47 Because there was no date before Jesus Christ called 350 BC. There was no dating then.
1:15:54 And everybody will realize that this a stupid tourist who bought this coin.
1:15:58 Now, we are not stupid to accept a Medinan SURA with two Meccan verses at the end of it.
1:16:05 So, even this Quran that you carry is telling
1:16:08 you that these two verses are fake. They're human injected.
1:16:12 The Mathematical Code exposes them. The word "ALLAH", the word "ILAH", the word "RAB"
1:16:17 are all increased by 1 because of these 2 verses, for example.
1:16:20 Abdel Rahman: How did you discover it's been injected? How did you find?
1:16:23 Dr. Khalifa: By the mathematical Code. The Mathematical Code confirms that the Quran is perfect, and that
1:16:28 these two sentences were added in it to exalt the prophet Muhammad and to worship him.
1:16:34 As you know, they deal with the prophet Muhammad. Abdel Rahman: So, by your mathematical - as you name it - the
1:16:40 divine mathematical... Dr. Khalifa: No, forget the mathematics. You just read yourself
1:16:43 now at the title of the SURA that the whole SURA is Medinan except the last two verses.
1:16:47 They're Meccan. How could that be? When the prophet moved from Mecca to Medina,
1:16:52 everything revealed after that was Medinan. How did the two Meccan verses get injected
1:16:57 in a Medinan SURA? You do not find Meccan verses in Medinan SURAs.
1:17:01 You find Medinan SURAs in Meccan... wait a minute. You find Medinan verses in Meccan SURAs but not the other way around.
1:17:08 So, if we think a little bit, you yourself read it now. And this tells you that these two
1:17:13 verses are at least suspect. So, the Mathematical Code prove beyond doubt,
1:17:19 plus a lot of other evidence. Even in BUKHARI says these two verses are not correct.
1:17:25 If you read it carefully, and you read the story of collecting the Quran, okay,
1:17:30 recording the Quran, it tells you that every single verse in this Quran was witnessed
1:17:36 by more than one witness, except these 2 verses, the last two verses of SURA 9. They were witnessed
1:17:42 only by one person, Khuzeimah Ibn Thaabet Al-Ansaary. Ansaary means he is Medinan, and the two
1:17:48 verses are Meccan. I mean, it doesn't take too much intelligence.
1:17:51 Abdel Rahman: A lot of people, they moved from Medina to Mecca after...
1:17:54 Dr. Khalifa: No, no, no, not Al-Ansaar. This is Khuzeimah Ibn Thaabet Al-Ansaary. So, these are the only two
1:18:01 verses in the Quran that were witnessed by only one witness according to the stories.
1:18:04 I mean, forget anything else. Even assuming these stories are correct.
1:18:10 Abdel Rahman: So, you wanna say in other words those two verses are not Quran, actually?
1:18:14 Dr. Khalifa: That's right. Abdel Rahman: Or probably they are from Quran, and they should Dr. Khalifa: They're from Satan.
1:18:17 be in a different place. Dr. Khalifa: No, no, no, they are not Quran.
1:18:20 Abdel Rahman: You say they are not Quran period? Dr. Khalifa: They are not Quran, period.
1:18:22 Abdel Rahman: They are not Quran? Dr. Khalifa: That's right. They stand out by many many many overwhelming
1:18:26 evidence, proofs, many proofs. But this...you have to write a book about that.
1:18:31 Abdel Rahman: You have to write a book about that? Dr. Khalifa: That's right.
1:18:34 Abdel Rahman: Also, by inventing the divine mathematical codes, that's why you claim for - we assume that
1:18:48 you are a messenger of God because of this one, right? Or there is any other evidence?
1:18:51 Dr. Khalifa: Well, the fact that we want to establish here is that no one can touch the Quran unless
1:18:55 he is a sincere believer, right?
1:18:57 Abdel Rahman: If you are a sincere believer, you are a messenger of God? I am a sincere believer. Dr. Khalifa: The Quran says...
1:19:02 Dr. Khalifa: A sincere believer will not lie and say "I'm a messenger of God."
1:19:05 Abdel Rahman: If you are a sincere believer, does that make you a messenger of God?
1:19:09 Dr. Khalifa: If you are a sincere believer, you will not lie about God. Is this correct?
1:19:12 Abdel Rahman: No. Dr. Khalifa: Wait a minute, a sincere believer will not
1:19:15 lie about God. Is this correct? Abdel Rahman: Yes. Dr. Khalifa: Right.
1:19:18 Dr. Khalifa: So, a person who finds something in the Quran, especially if it is the secret
1:19:23 miracle of the Quran, this person must be a sincere believer. And if this person is
1:19:29 a sincere believer as established by the fact of discovering the secret of the Quran,
1:19:33 then this person will not possibly lie against God and say that he's a messenger of God.
1:19:37 Abdel Rahman: But why, why you precisely say "I am a messenger of God since I discovered this"? Why you didn't say
1:19:46 "o people, o Muslims, I'm coming to correct something" like Hassan AL-Imam,
1:19:53 like Ghazali, like Muhammad Abduh, they didn't... they were very sincerely Islam, and they correct a lot
1:20:00 of ways in Islam, but they never claim that they are messenger of God. They...
1:20:04 Dr. Khalifa: Were they sincere believers? Abdel Rahman: They were sincere believers.
1:20:08 Dr. Khalifa: Therefore, they will not lie about God. If they were not messengers of God,
1:20:10 they will not lie about God. Did they claim to be messengers of God?
1:20:13 Abdel Rahman: They never claimed they are messenger of God. Dr. Khalifa: Right
1:20:14 Dr. Khalifa: So, they were not messenger of God. Abdel Rahman: So, why you claim you are a messenger of God?
1:20:17 Dr. Khalifa: Because I am.
1:20:18 Abdel Rahman: Is it because of this mathematical codes only? Dr. Khalifa: No, Because I am a messenger of God.
1:20:22 Abdel Rahman: Well, give me a proof that you are... Dr. Khalifa: I just gave.
1:20:24 Abdel Rahman: No, not this, because this is...
1:20:26 Dr. Khalifa: My name also is mentioned in the Quran here. If you open this index,...
1:20:30 Abdel Rahman: OK. Your name as "AL-RASHIN AL-KHOLAFA" has nothing to do with, you know...
1:20:37 Dr. Khalifa: You're entitled to say what you want, but what is the root word of my name?
1:20:42 Abdel Rahman: Your name is Rashad. Dr. Khalifa: Yes.
1:20:44 Abdel Rahman: Rashad has nothing...and my name is Abdel Rahman... Dr. Khalifa: Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. I'm just wanna...let's go step by
1:20:49 step, okay? Abdel Rahman: Yes.
1:20:50 Dr. Khalifa: The root word of my name is "RASHADA." Is this correct?
1:20:53 Abdel Rahman: Yes. Dr. Khalifa: Okay.
1:20:59 Dr. Khalifa: Right. We're talking about Arabic language. This is the index of the Quran again. Abdel Rahman: OK.
1:21:02 Page 320. And the root of my word - is it here? Do you see it here?
1:21:06 RASHADA. Abdel Rahman: Your name is Rashad, not "RASHADA." Dr. Khalifa: I know
1:21:10 the root word of Rashad is "RASHADA",
1:21:13 Abdel Rahman: Yes. Right? And do you see "RASHADA" here?
1:21:15 Abdel Rahman: Yes. Dr. Khalifa: Okay, "RASHADA" is between this mark here
1:21:19 and this mark, alright? Abdel Rahman: Mmhmm.
1:21:20 Dr. Khalifa: So, I want you to count the number of mentionings of the root word "RASHADA" in the Quran. You count it
1:21:25 yourself, go ahead. Abdel Rahman: Okay, whatever, I count it - you did count it, so
1:21:29 we won't waste audience time. Dr. Khalifa: No, go ahead, you go ahead.
1:21:32 Dr. Khalifa: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
1:21:34 Abdel Rahman: Yes, it count up to...
1:21:35 Dr. Khalifa: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19
1:21:41 Abdel Rahman: Yes. Dr. Khalifa: The root word of my name is mentioned 19 times.
1:21:44 The Mathematical Code of the Quran is based on the number 19, as you see.
1:21:47 Abdel Rahman: Yes. Dr. Khalifa: Now, do you think this is coincidence?
1:21:49 Abdel Rahman: But this is not your name doctor Khalifa, excuse me, "RASHADA" is an Arabic word.
1:21:54 Dr. Khalifa: It is the root word... Abdel Rahman: My name is Abdel Rahman...
1:21:56 Dr. Khalifa: If my name, Rashad, is mentioned in multiples of 19, would you believe it?
1:22:00 Abdel Rahman: No, I won't. Dr. Khalifa: Why?
1:22:02 Abdel Rahman: Because simply it has nothing to do with the Quran.
1:22:05 Dr. Khalifa: Do you think this is coincidence, in other words?
1:22:08 Abdel Rahman: No, not coincidence, but this has nothing to do with your name, "RASHADA", Rashad,
1:22:11 has nothing to do with your name. Dr. Khalifa: Okay, we said that
1:22:14 there is a Mathematical Code in the Quran.
1:22:16 Abdel Rahman: Did you stop it? A woman: Wait, wait, wait. Yeah.
1:22:20 Abdel Rahman: We were talking about number 19. Dr. Khalifa: Right. The Mathematical Code of the Quran
1:22:24 is based on number 19. The root word of my name is mentioned
1:22:28 in the Quran 19 times, which is "RASHADA." Abdel Rahman: Not your name, again also I am saying not
1:22:32 your name. It's saying the word of "RASHADA", or "AL-RASHAD", it doesn't mean Rashad Khalifa.
1:22:37 Dr. Khalifa: Hold it. Hold it. I'm not talking about Rashad. I am talking about "RASHADA." The root word
1:22:41 for my name is mentioned in the Quran 19 times, which is in accordance with the Mathematical Code.
1:22:46 But also my name "Rashad" and "Khalifa", if
1:22:49 you add the numbers of the SURAs and verses, you come up with muplies of 19.
1:22:53 Abdel Rahman: When ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA mentioned Muhammad, He means Muhammad.
1:22:57 Dr. Khalifa: Yes. Abdel Rahman: Ibn Abdullah.
1:22:59 Dr. Khalifa: Yes. Abdel Rahman: But when He mentioned Rashad, He doesn't mean He mention
1:23:02 Rashad Khalifa.
1:23:03 Dr. Khalifa: Because the Quran was delivered 1400 years before
1:23:07 Rashad Khalifa. God will not... God will not Abdel Rahman: But He doesn't know...
1:23:10 Dr. Khalifa: Wait. God will not put in the Quran that "I'm sending Rashad Khalifa." He will not say
1:23:14 that. So, He put it in mathematically-coded terms that are not to be revealed until the
1:23:20 Mathematical Code is revealed. Okay? Abdel Rahman: And that's...
1:23:24 Dr. Khalifa: This is probably why there is no other Rashad Khalifa that I know of. There was one Rashad
1:23:28 Khalifa that born in my family. My cousin had a boy, and he named him Rashad Khalifa, and the
1:23:33 boy died when he was young. And I advised them not to do that...
1:23:38 Abdel Rahman: If I go to any Arabic country and I found Rashad Khalifa
1:23:42 Dr. Khalifa: Who claims to be a messenger of God. Abdel Rahman: No. Any Rashad Khalifa.
1:23:45 Dr. Khalifa: Yeah? Abdel Rahman: Nobody lives in this world by name Rashad Khalifa
1:23:49 but you? Dr. Khalifa: I don't know anyone who's named Rashad
1:23:51 Khalifa but me. Abdel Rahman: If we found someone by this name, what do you
1:23:56 think? Dr. Khalifa: And he says he's a messenger of God?
1:23:58 Abdel Rahman: No, he will say "I'm Rashad Khalifa." Dr. Khalifa: Well, fine. He's Rashad Khalifa. But if he
1:24:01 says he's messenger of God, that's something else. Abdel Rahman: Okay.
1:24:04 Dr. Khalifa: Does he say he is a messenger of God?
1:24:06 Abdel Rahman: You approve that you are a messenger of God by the divine Mathematical Code...
1:24:11 Dr. Khalifa: By discovering the Mathematical Code. Abdel Rahman: And 19 names of your name. What else?
1:24:16 Abdel Rahman: Can you... Dr. Khalifa: There are hundreds of other things.
1:24:18 Abdel Rahman: Let's see, let's hear it. Dr. Khalifa: No, I cannot tell you those things. Abdel Rahman: Let's hear it because...
1:24:21 Dr. Khalifa: I'm giving you the physical evidence.
1:24:23 Abdel Rahman: In order to be a messenger of God, you have to be above ordinary people.
1:24:28 Dr. Khalifa: Yes. Abdel Rahman: Above, like you are doing something... Dr. Khalifa: No, no, no. I don't mean yes.
1:24:32 Dr. Khalifa: No, no, no. Wait a minute. No. Abdel Rahman: Like you are doing something no human being can do it.
1:24:37 Dr. Khalifa: No, no, no. This is not true. The Quran teaches that
1:24:39 Moses went to one of our servants. عَبْدًۭا مِّنْ عِبَادِنَآ (18:65) And this one of our servants taught
1:24:45 Moses a few things, and Moses was a very bad teacher.
1:24:48 So, I want to correct you that you're saying that messengers are above the ordinary.
1:24:51 Abdel Rahman: But the Quran said that ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA taught Musa some kind of devices in order to
1:24:59 appear in front of his own people. Dr. Khalifa: The miracles of...
1:25:01 Abdel Rahman: Yeah people, in order to make the people believe. Dr. Khalifa: Yeah.
1:25:05 Abdel Rahman: Hold it. This is not a human being ordinary. He is not the magic. This is not a magic. This Dr. Khalifa: Right.
1:25:11 is something from God. Dr. Khalifa: Anyway, I have given you enough poofs. And
1:25:15 I want you to ask anybody to give me a proof that I'm not a messenger of God, one, one proof.
1:25:22 Abdel Rahman: You haven't convinced me. Dr. Khalifa: Let's move on.
1:25:23 Abdel Rahman: You have not convince... Dr. Khalifa: I don't wanna convince you.
1:25:26 Abdel Rahman: We are trying... you haven't convinced me so far you are a messenger. You didn't give me
1:25:31 something Dr. Khalifa: Yeah.
1:25:33 Abdel Rahman: to astonish me or to make me say "Oh, he is above mankind."
1:25:36 Dr. Khalifa: Yes. Abdel Rahman: So, I have to believe it.
1:25:38 Dr. Khalifa: Let me read something for you in here. Abdel Rahman: Okay. So, you're holding this book and you
1:25:41 don't believe in it? Dr. Khalifa: What do you mean I don't believe in it?
1:25:44 Abdel Rahman: You said this book is not correct. Dr. Khalifa: No. The complete Quran is here. There is some addition.
1:25:49 Abdel Rahman: Some addition? Dr. Khalifa: Yeah. Abdel Rahman: Okay.
1:25:52 Dr. Khalifa: You can't make statements like that. Look at this
1:26:03 وَقَالُوا۟ لَن نُّؤْمِنَ لَكَ حَتَّىٰ تَفْجُرَ لَنَا مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ يَنۢبُوعًا (17:90)
1:26:07 They said "we'll not believe unless
1:26:08 you have a spring gush out of the earth."
1:26:11 أَوْ تَكُونَ لَكَ جَنَّةٌۭ مِّن نَّخِيلٍۢ وَعِنَبٍۢ فَتُفَجِّرَ ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرَ خِلَـٰلَهَا تَفْجِيرًا (17:91)
1:26:15 Or you possess a garden of dates and grapes,
1:26:19 with rivers flowing in."
1:26:20 أَوْ تُسْقِطَ ٱلسَّمَآءَ كَمَا زَعَمْتَ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفًا أَوْ تَأْتِىَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ قَبِيلًا (17:92)
1:26:26 Or you drop the heaven over us,
1:26:28 the sky over us, as you claimed. Or bring God and the angels before our eyes.
1:26:33 (17:93) أَوْ يَكُونَ لَكَ بَيْتٌۭ مِّن زُخْرُفٍ
1:26:35 or you posses a mansion, a fantastic mansion
1:26:39 أَوْ تَرْقَىٰ فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ or see you climb to the sky
1:26:42 وَلَن نُّؤْمِنَ لِرُقِيِّكَ even if you do that we will not believe.
1:26:45 So, I cannot... I don't want anybody to be convinced. All I can do is deliver the message and tell you
1:26:53 what the proofs are. And then it's up to you to take it or leave it.
1:26:58 Abdel Rahman: In your book here "Quran, Hadith & Islam" - also one of the book you wrote about
1:27:04 Quran, Hadith and Islam - you said here "we don't believe in anything with intercession."
1:27:11 What does that mean? You don't believe in intercession?
1:27:14 Dr. Khalifa: We believe the Quran that says
1:27:16 قُل لِّلَّهِ ٱلشَّفَـٰعَةُ جَمِيعًۭا (39:44)
1:27:18 "to God belongs all intercession." So, nobody possesses intercession. Abdel Rahman: You don't believe that the messenger of God
1:27:24 will make "SHAFA'AT" to the Muslims? Dr. Khalifa: The Quran says that the messenger of God will not have any SHAFA'AT
1:27:30 any intercession, it says
1:27:31 إِن تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةًۭ فَلَن يَغْفِرَ ٱللَّهُ لَهُمْ (9:80)
1:27:34 God tells Muhammad "if you ask forgiveness for them seventy times, God will not forgive them.
1:27:39 So, there you have it. Ebrahim made intercession on behalf of his
1:27:42 father, but his father is going to hell. It does not matter. Ebrahim is God's friend.
1:27:47 So, I'm afraid we have to quit. If you have one last question, I'll answer one last question.
1:27:51 Abdel Rahman: Well, I have a lot of questions, actually,
1:27:53 but if you're gonna quit, we won't go anywhere. But I hope you will, before you quit, you will
1:27:59 comment or you will say something you would like to say to the Muslims.
1:28:05 Dr. Khalifa: Well, what I'd like to say is that Islam today has nothing to do with the prophet Muhammad.
1:28:09 And it is the objective of all the sincere believers to restore Islam to the religion preached
1:28:17 by the prophet Muhammad. As I mentioned in this program, the Muslims
1:28:21 around the world are not doing anything correctly. Everything is wrong: the AZAN, the ablution,
1:28:26 the SALAT, the ZAKAT, the HAJJ, the fasting. Everything is done not according to the teachings
1:28:32 of the prophet Muhammad that came to us in the Quran. And it is the objective to restore Islam
1:28:37 to its original pristine purity as preached by the prophet Muhammad, the final prophet.
1:28:42 سلام علیکم و رحمة الله
1:28:45 Abdel Rahman: Thank you doctor Rashad Khalifa. And I really appreciate your time.
