Letters of Support from Believers All Over the World
From Lagos, Nigeria:
Dear Rashad,
I will not relent till success has come your way, though I know Allah works out everything in a divine way, but it is our duty to assist the
messenger. As long as I have solemnly believed in your mission as a messenger sent by God to this age, and I know through you God will make Islam recognized by all as the true religion over all others --48:28 (48+28 = 76 = 19x4), 9:33, 61:9.
I also believe the muslim nations may sooner or
later, sooner rather than later, pledge their allegiance, belief and acceptance of you, then they will recieve true religious instruction from you in the Quran -and ways to govern their people with Allah’s laws.
Letters of Support
From Minna, Nigeria
Dear Rashad: God’s Messenger of the Covenant: I am writing to acknowledge receipt of your booklet on “Principles of Muslim Prayer.” May Allah reward you for sending me the book and all other information useful for my religious practices.
I, have since changed from my previous way of doing the Contact Prayers (Salat) to the correct way I learned from the book. I have also introduced it to my immediate family members and friends.
From New York
Dear Rashad:
I pray Allah this brief communication finds you and the other believers at Masjid Tucson in good health and spirit. We in the New York area are excited in anticipation of the forthcoming authorized original Quran that has been out of print for about 1400 years. We support you and we respect you.
Thank you for endeavoring on behalf of all of us.
From Coimbatore, India
Dear Dr. Rashad Khalifa, the Messenger of God: Praise be to God. In the last few issues of M.P. we are reading an entirely new dimension of the Miracle of the Quran -- the structural miracle -- and
this is quite apart from the miracle involving the Arabic alphabets. Now, we are wondering what will be the excuse of those who deny the miracle of the Last Testament of God, and what about those who insist that the name of Muhammad (PBUH) consists of 5 Arabic letters (M.P. of Dec 88)!
Will not the tribe of Dr. Ernest Hamilton and ‘Dr’ Assad Basool etc. take note of these miracles? What a horrible punishment would God have reserved for these modern Pharaohs.
This is only a small sample of this month’s mail. Thank God for today’s communications; the message has been delivered to literally millions of people.
What did the disbelievers say?
Despite my challenge to them in the February issue of M.P. to “Give Me One Good Reason,” the disbelievers cannot come up with a single reason as
to why I could not possibly be God’s messenger!!!
Where are the “Muslim” scholars? Why do they not
supply their followers with one, just one, reason in support of their stand? The fact is: the truth must win, in accordance with God’s law (17:81, 21:18).
God’s Messenger of the Covenant
A messenger of God must present proof that he is God’s messenger. And we have every right to demand such a proof.
Every messenger of God is supported by divine signs proving that he is authorized by the Almighty to deliver His messages. Moses threw down his staff and it turned into a serpent by God’s leave, Jesus healed the leprous and revived the dead by God’s
leave, Saleh’s sign was the famous camel, Abraham walked out of the fire, and Muhammad’s miracle was the Quran (29:50-51).
The Quran (3:18, 33:7), and the Bible before that (Malachi 3:1-8), have prophesied the advent of a consolidating messenger, God’s Messenger of the Covenant, whose mission is to purify and unify the messages of all
the prophets into one. Henceforth, there is only one religion; Islam (3:19). It is only befitting that a messenger with such a crucial mission must be supported by the most powerful miracle (74:30-35). While the miracles of previous messengers were limited in time and place, God’s miracle supporting His Messenger of the Covenant is perpetual, verifiable, and utterly incontrovertible.
What is shown above is the abstract of Appendix 2 from the new translation. The Appendix lists Quranic mathematical evidence that Rashad Khalifa is God’s Messenger of the Covenant. If you want an advance copy of this very important Appendix, we will be glad to send it to you for the cost of copying and mailing ($3.00) [$5.00 outside the USA].
World-Wide Recognition of God’s Messenger of the Covenant Must Come -- at the Right Time
Thank God for His perfect plan. There is so much work to be done, that a widespread recognition of His messenger, at the wrong time, would actually hinder the mission.
First and foremost: There was the purification of the Quran, followed by publishing the pure Arabic text, and its authorized English rendering. If I were recognized by a million people, they simply would have consumed all my time, leaving no time for the important work of translating and publishing God’s Final Testament.
As you all know, I enjoy meeting you at the airport, hosting you at Masjid Tucson, and I genuinely enjoy giving you the attention you deserve when you are in Tucson. There is no greater honor than serving and being in the company of the extremely fortunate believers named by Almighty God as “Al-Saabeqoon, Al-Saabeqoon,” who are God’s very special servants and the closest to Him. They are “Al-Muqarraboon.” (see 56:11).
I must add here that all of you have been truly sympathetic, compassionate and understanding, and this is my chance to tell you that I did notice, and I have been appreciative.
It is a matter of statistics; if there were a million of you at this time, I would have been overwhelmed by a greater number of honored guests who would totally consume the time needed for work.
There is so much work to be done. And I expect to devote a few more years to such work.
The main work has been completed, ALHAMDU
LILLAH. The momentous work of publishing the pure Quran for the first time,* together with its English rendering, has been done. You will have the book in your hands IN SHAA ALLAH within a few weeks.
The next project is to print and publish Lisa Spray’s book entitled, “Jesus.” This is a “Christian” country, and the people need to know God’s truth about Jesus. As you know, our first limited printing was exhausted in a couple of months. Those of you who are still waiting for a copy; there is light at the end of the tunnel. You will get your copy IN SHAA ALLAH by December 89.
Then comes the English CONCORDANCE OF THE QURAN. This is a big project that will enable anyone to find anything in the Quran; all you need is “one word.”
Representatives Around the World
Witness God’s perfect plan. He has blessed a few extremely fortunate believers in almost every country and placed them in key positions at central locations. They are the ambassadors of the perfected and purified Islam, and they are doing the God-guided job of helping the believers in their respective areas.
For example, in Nigeria, these fortunate ambassadors are placed in Lagos (the capital), Kano (the heart of the Muslim area), Minna (Niger State), Benin City, Funtua (Katsina State), Zara (Kaduna State), Sagamni (Ogun State), Sokoto, and in the far northeast corner of Maiduguri (Borno State). In
India, you will find the true believers in Bombay, Coimbatore, Hyderabad, Kerala, Madras. You will find them in Egypt, Iran, Lybia, Morocco, Pakistan, Europe, Ghana, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, and some places I have never heard of.
But not a single Arab. In accordance with 47:38, and 54:43 (read also the 15 verses before 54:43), the Arabs have been dismissed from God’s grace. They will be annihilated in the same way God annihilated ‘Aad, Thamoud, and Pharaoh’s army.
By the Arabs I mean those from Arabia-the area bound by the Indian Ocean in the South, the Red Sea on the West, the Persian Gulf and the borders of Iran on the East, and the Southern borders of Turkey in the north.
*The pure Quran for the first time.
The prophet Muhammad lived forty years without the Quran. From the age of 40 to 53, he received about a third of the Quran. The rest was revealed in Medina, with the last revelation occurring only weeks before his death. The Prophet wrote the Quran with his own hand. But it was written in the chronological order, not in the final format that God intends for the world. When ‘Uthman appointed a committe to copy the Quran and put it in the right sequence, they committed the great blasphemy of adding 2 false verses (see past issues of M.P.).
The pure Quran never existed before now.
Vicious Attack Against Ahl-Al-Bait Refuted by God’s Truth
I just received a book entitled “Al-Khulafaa’ Al-Rashedoon,” by Abdul-Wahhab Al-Najjar (Dar Al-Kutub Al-‘Elmeyyah, Beirut). On Page 10, the author assaults the truth, and wages a vicious war on the memory of Ali Ibn Abi Taaleb and his family, the Prophet’s family.
In incredible hatred towards Ali and his family, this author writes: “Ali and his family considered the Khelaafah their inherited right. They were so extremely greedy for power, that they sacrificed their own lives and the lives of their children, and subjected their women to humiliation and captivity, only because they wanted the throne. The more they lost lives and dignity, the more they became even more greedy. Their greed for power was not curbed by all the killing of their family members, all the mutilation, persecution, and burning....!!”
Here Is the Truth
It is God’s will to proclaim the truth to the world, through His Mathematical Miracle of the Quran.
For we know now that Ali and his family sacrificed their lives not for power--never--but for the sake of God and His Quran. They wanted to correct the blasphemy committed by ‘Uthman’s scribes who added two false verses to the Quran (see M.P. Jan 89).
Ali and his family did not care at all about power, and the proof is evident from the fact that Ali was not the first Khalifa. He gave it willingly to Abu Bakr. Ali could have been the Khalifa if he only uttered the words: “I want to be the Khalifa.” Even after Abu Bakr’s death, he did not want the Khelaafah; he willingly gave it to Omar. Then he gave it to ‘Uthman. Ali did not want to be a Khalifa.
Only when the committee of scribes who were appointed by ‘'Uthman committed that great blasphemy of adding verses 9:128-129 to the Quran, only then, Ali accepted the Khelaafah. And only to restore the Quran.
Because Ali was not power-conscious, power-hungry, ‘Amr Ibn Al-‘Aas and the Umayyads tricked him into the infamous “Arbitration Treaty” (Al-Tahkeem).
If the author of that book had any brain, he would have read his own writings on Page 426 of his own book. On Page 426, he says: “When the Arbitration was written, Ali was described as ‘Ameer Al-Mu‘mineen.’ But ‘Amr Ibn Al-‘Aas protested that Ali was not the Umayyads Ameer, and demanded that Ali must be referred to as Ali Ibn Abee Taaleb, period. Al-Ahnaf Ibn Qais urged Ali not to agree with Ibn Al-‘Aas, but Ali went along with the change.”
Obviously, Ali, who was in fact Ameer Al-Mu’mineen, could have forced the issue and insisted on his rightful title. But he did not care about power. This glaring contradiction should have taught the author that Ali did not care about power at all.
Thus, God wills to proclaim the truth. We know now from Appendix 24 of the new translation of the Quran, being distributed by Masjid Tucson, that Ali, Hussein, and the whole family of the Prophet sacrificed their lives for no reason other than restoring the Quran to its pristine purity. We restored it.
