0:18 Allahu Akbar
0:37 La Elaha Ella Allah
1:04 Alhamdu Lillah, Wa Ash-hadu Alla Elaha Ella Allah Wahdahu La Shareeka Lah.
1:10 We praise God and we bear witness that there is only One God.
1:18 I would like to review with you very quickly, the new issue of the Muslim Perspective.
1:24 As you know,
1:26 we are witnessing the emergence of a fantastic miracle
1:31 that tells the world, this is a message from God to the world, that this is a supernatural
1:39 scripture that could not possibly be human-made.
1:44 And the evidence is accumulating and increasing in accordance
1:48 with the verse in SURA 41
1:49 that says "we will show them our miracles in the horizons, and within themselves,
1:54 until they realize that this is the truth." Until they give up.
2:00 Unfortunately, our Muslim Ulama are still stuck in the first letter of the QURAN.
2:07 In Bism Allah Arrahman Arraheem. They're still
2:10 trying to figure out how many letters are in the BISMILLAH,
2:13 the first verse.
2:16 Only a couple of days ago, Cath met this fellow from Saudi Arabia.
2:22 And he told her "do you go to that mosque over there?"
2:27 And she said "yes, we have a...
2:31 and I will always go there.
2:32 We have a proof that... what the truth is that the Quran is complete perfect
2:38 fully detailed."
2:39 And he said "is this based on the miracle of 19?"
2:42 And she said "yes." And he said...
2:45 And he started out denying that Bism Allah Arrahman Arraheem is 19 letters.
2:50 So, she asked him to write it down.
2:51 He wrote down 19 letters; Bism Allah Arrahman Arraheem.
2:54 Then, she asked him to count it.
2:56 And this is what the Muslim Ulama are doing.
2:59 And he started counting invisible letter.
3:03 She said "the computer, what the computer sees,
3:06 what your eye sees, is what you count."
3:08 "How many letters do you see?"
3:10 So, the miracles are overwhelmingly accumulating.
3:14 And they are still stuck in the first letter.
3:17 BA, it is Douglas' famous statement.
3:21 They're still at the BA, because they wanna figure out if there is an ALIF after the
3:25 BA or not.
3:27 Ironically, God wrote down the two words
3:31 in the first revelation of QURAN. You'll find Bism Allah Arrahman Arraheem and right
3:36 after it is IQRA BISM,
3:38 and the two words, BISM (بِسْمِ) and BISM (بِٱسْمِ) are spelled differently,
3:42 one without the ALIF and one with the ALIF.
3:45 And this is what got the Mufti of Yemen who came here one time to argue with us.
3:51 So, in this issue of the perspective, I'm listing the latest
3:56 findings that Lisa found out last month.
4:00 And I will mention them quickly.
4:07 What we see in these miracles is confirmation of
4:10 certain parameters of the QURAN.
4:12 Among the parameters of the QURAN are the verses, the number of verses, the numbers
4:16 of verses,
4:18 verse number 7 or 19 or 70, 71, whatever.
4:22 The numbers of verses is a characteristic, a parameter of the QURAN.
4:26 The numbers of SURAs and the sequence of SURAs.
4:30 Looks like this is what is being proven to the world now.
4:34 Of course, a lot of them will not know it
4:36 for until 50 years from now.
4:39 But at this time, it seems like God is revealing proof to tell us
4:48 that the verses, the numbers of verses, the sequence of verses, the numbers of SURAs
4:52 and the sequence of SURAs are all dictated by God.
4:56 They could not be human-made.
4:58 The first Quranic initial ALIF LAM MEEM is in SURA 2, verse 1.
5:03 And the last initial is NUN in SURAH 68.
5:06 And when you count the verses between these two, they are 5,263,
5:15 a multiple of 19,
5:16 the common denominator. 19 which means La Elaha Ella Allah or God is One.
5:23 So, this tells us that the number of verses is divinely dictated.
5:30 Now, between the ALIF LAM MEEM and the NUN, there are 19 groups of SURAs: initialed, un-initialed,
5:39 initialed, un-initialed, 19 of them.
5:42 There are 38, 19 x 2, un-initialed SURAs.
5:48 The word ALLAH occurs outside of this range 57 which is 19 x3
5:55 and the inside is 2,641 which is also a multiple of 19.
6:01 19 X 139.
6:04 And then, when you take...
6:07 Now, we have SURAs where the word ALLAH occurs.
6:10 There are SURAs where there is not a single word ALLAH.
6:14 But if you take the SURAs where the word ALLAH occurs, well, this is a very special
6:18 word.
6:20 You take the SURA number and the verses where the word ALLAH
6:23 occurs and add them up
6:25 and the total is 2432 which is a multiple of 19.
6:34 And this is only in the outside of the ALIF LAM MEEM and the NUN.
6:39 We are working now on the inside.
6:41 Hopefully, we'll finish it this weekend.
6:44 But this tells us that the sequence of SURAs is dictated by God.
6:51 We have here a table showing the SURAs and verses
6:54 where the word ALLAH occurs
6:55 and you can see for yourself,
6:56 anybody can.
6:58 These are factual observations.
7:00 It is not an opinion.
7:01 It's not nobody's,
7:02 It is nobody's opinion.
7:03 So, they cannot say "you don't have the right to interpret."
7:07 There is no interpretation.
7:08 These are factual observations on the Quran.
7:18 Now, at the end of the article, I started to go through the historical development of
7:23 the miracle
7:24 and how when the first items came out,
7:26 they rejected it.
7:27 And then, the evidence intensified, increased and they continued
7:32 to reject it.
7:35 And then, they became arrogantly and stubbornly opposing it.
7:39 And now, it is pride and ego.
7:41 They cannot agree with it anymore.
7:43 But the evidence keeps piling and accumulating.
7:47 And the idea, as I see it, is to confirm the hardcore disbelievers.
7:57 Because the Quran says
8:01 (7:146) سَأَصْرِفُ عَنْ ءَايَـٰتِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَكَبَّرُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّ
8:04 I will divert from My revelations those who are too
8:07 arrogant to accept My miracles or My revelations.
8:11 وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ كُلَّ ءَايَةٍۢ لَّا يُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِهَا
8:13 And no matter what kind of miracle they see, they will not believe in it.
8:18 So, this is to confirm that they deserve the lowest pit of hell.
8:24 The evidence keeps increasing and they keep rejecting it, until they're confirmed as hardcore
8:30 disbelievers.
8:33 Now, as you know Ihsan has been with us for a few weeks now
8:37 and she's been doing a lot of research on the Quran. She is walking around with a counter
8:45 just counting the letters and words and so on.
8:48 And she found something that again confirms that the verse numbers is dictated by God.
8:56 When you look at the verse number and says, verse number 36,
8:59 this number is assigned by God.
9:02 She noticed as all of you did that SURA AL-RAHMAN, number 55, has this word repeated in it Aalaa' (ءَالَآءِ)
9:11 which means marvels.
9:14 As you know, 31 times in SURA 55, God says "which of God's marvels can you deny?"
9:22 So, she looked at this verse and she noticed first of all that there is a pattern
9:28 that this statement "which of your God's marvels can you deny?"
9:36 First, there is one odd-numbered verse and then two even-numbered verses
9:42 and then, three odd-numbered verses.
9:45 These are the verse numbers where this statement occurs.
9:49 And then, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 even-numbered verses.
9:55 And then, 17 odd-numbered verses.
9:57 So, you can see that there is a deliberate pattern there.
10:02 Okay then, she looked in the Quran for wherever this word occurs.
10:07 There are two verses in SURA 7
10:10 that say "remember and reflect on God's marvels."
10:19 There is also a similar statement in SURA 53 and the verse number is 55.
10:25 You see the connection with SURA 55?
10:28 The verse here is 55.
10:29 The SURA is 53.
10:31 And it says "which of God's marvels are you... do you have doubts about?"
10:37 This is
10:37 (53:55) فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكَ تَتَمَارَىٰ
10:41 And this
10:42 رَبِّكَ تَتَمَارَىٰ
10:43 And this is
10:44 فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ
10:48 Okay, so what she did, this is all the... this word occurs only in these SURAs.
10:54 So, she added up the numbers of the SURAs and the verses
10:58 and there is the total,
11:01 a multiple of 19.
11:02 So, this tells you that this special statement, the numbers of SURAs and verses,
11:11 SURAs and verses is dictated by God.
11:15 It follows the pattern of 19.
11:20 So, she added all these numbers together and the total is a multiple of 19.
11:25 And she is as greedy as I am, as far as this research is concerned.
11:30 So, she counted the letters in these verses. 114. Each of these.
11:37 114 letters which is talking about God's marvels.
11:43 That's another multiple of 19.
11:45 And then, she added the two statements, the letters in the two statements.
11:49 This statement here, if you take one of them, it's 20 letters which, this is directed to the humans and the jinns.
11:56 "Which of God's marvels can you deny?" is 20 letters.
12:01 And this verse here where it says, 55 in SURA 53,
12:05 you notice there is a 55:53.
12:10 So, you'll take this one and this one, and they are 38 letters, 19 x2.
12:16 So, the miracle is very tight and interlocking.
12:21 And there is no escape for the people who keep denying it.
12:25 So, looks like all the parameters of the QURAN... we're gonna
12:29 end up with every single parameter confirmed as dictated by God.
12:36 And if you read the books that they study in Azhar for example, they go through all
12:40 kinds of hypothetical situations where the divisions
12:44 of SURAs
12:45 SURAs and verses may have been.
12:47 But the fact is, you pick up the Quran anywhere in the world and you find
12:51 these verses.
12:52 You find this statement "which of God's marvels can you deny?"
12:56 You'll find it in these SURAs and these verses, in Japan or in Sweden or in Pakistan.
13:02 The fact is the Quran has these numbers.
13:04 And they all conform to the mathematical, the miraculous mathematical code.
13:13 To conclude, increasingly, we see here that we have a book from God
13:19 where you read every word in it, and you have 100% confidence that this is from God.
13:26 And you can base your future and your life on it as you will see in the next KHUTBA, IN SHAA ALLAH.
13:32 Tooboo Ela Allah. Repent.
13:47 Alhamdu Lillah.
13:48 Wa Ash-hadu Alla Elaha Ella Allah Wahdahu La Shareeka Lah.
14:00 In SURA 38, verse 67,
14:05 there's a statement that says "proclaim that it is a momentous event that you are disregarding."
14:15 So, proclaim to the people the momentous, the great event.
14:22 (38:67) قُلْ هُوَ نَبَؤٌا۟ عَظِيمٌ
14:23 Say or proclaim; it is a momentous or a great event.
14:29 (38:68) أَنتُمْ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضُونَ
14:31 That you are disregarding.
14:32 The average person on the street is going about his or her life totally unaware of the great event.
14:41 The great event is a universal conference: The Day of Resurrection
14:48 where the people of the past, present and future will be resurrected
14:53 and will be assigned a job or a position,
14:58 if you will, for eternity.
15:01 And everyone of those people should be thinking about that.
15:04 What is the position that will be assigned to them for eternity in the real life?
15:10 Are they gonna be assigned... is he gonna be a garbage collector forever?
15:16 There is nothing wrong with garbage collecting here to make a living but forever?
15:23 Is he gonna be an engineer or a pilot or a doctor or a lawyer?
15:28 Using terms of this world.
15:31 That is the great event that they are totally disregarding and they're totally unaware of it and totally unprepared.
15:40 Here in this world, they go to school for umpteen years
15:44 to get a degree to qualify for a good job.
15:48 For how long?
15:49 30 years, 20 years, 50 years?
15:54 So, this is our school for the eternal life.
15:59 And so, how much credits are they accumulating in preparation for that assignment for that eternal job?
16:08 There'll be people going there, into eternal life with zero credits.
16:14 Didn't go to school at all.
16:17 And there will be grade school dropouts.
16:20 And there will be high school dropouts and college dropouts and college graduates and graduate students and PhDs
16:29 depending how much credit you accumulate here.
16:32 So, when we wake up every morning, we have to ask.
16:35 you know today "I'm going to accumulate credit for
16:38 this world, so many credits.
16:40 X credits."
16:41 "How many I'm going to get for the real life, for the eternal life?"
16:50 We accumulate credits by sitting here.
16:52 Now, we are collecting credit.
16:55 Your record is gonna have the Friday Prayers which is a commandment from God.
16:59 You go to the Friday Prayer and drop all business.
17:03 And God promises immediately after that, that will make it up to you
17:07 money-wise or earning-wise. If you drop all business and come to the Friday Prayer,
17:14 God says He'll provide for you a lot more and much better here in this world.
17:21 And by the way, the credits that you accumulate here, they help you here.
17:26 You remember last time, I read for you from Psalms.
17:30 Psalm 91
17:32 where God says He gives word to His angels to carry you, lest you dash your foot against the stone. So, it happens here.
17:44 You remember I read for you from Luke 12:29
17:50 that you seek God's kingship over you and the rest will follow automatically,
17:55 and the rest meaning; health, wealth, happiness.
17:59 Happiness, you don't know where it's coming from, emanates from your inside.
18:03 And you're like an artificially-intoxicated person that is alcohol-intoxicated
18:10 cause the real intoxication is God's intoxication where you are laughing and happy
18:14 regardless of what is happening.
18:16 The earthquake killed two million people in Tucson
18:18 and you are happy and joyous.
18:20 So, understanding the events that happen in the world
18:24 and why the earthquakes happen.
18:27 But the happiness is a internal feeling that only God controls, nobody else.
18:33 And there is false happiness that does not last.
18:36 And there is real happiness that lasts.
18:38 So, you benefit from the credits here in this world.
18:42 And this is a big mistake that most people out there make.
18:45 They think that they have to wait until the Day of Judgment to cash in their credits.
18:52 You start cashing it right now.
18:54 So, every morning, we have to ask ourselves "how many credits do I want?"
19:03 The Five daily Prayers are the credits that you collect daily in your record.
19:09 So, we really have to consciously ask "is our
19:13 record going to be empty of credits or full?"
19:16 Because that will decide your position for eternity.
19:21 Proclaim that it is a great event,
19:25 a momentous event that you, the people, are disregarding.
19:30 You are totally unaware of it.
19:32 Aqem Al-Salat
19:34 Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar La Elaha Ella Allah
