ISSN 0890-6831 MUSLIM PERSPECTIVE Published Monthly by MASJID TUCSON May 1988 BULLETIN Ramadan 1408 Editor: Rashad Khallfa, Ph.D. GOD INSISTS *******************************************************: Muhammad was the final prophet because he delivered the final scripture. According to the Koran, he was not the last messenger (33:40). Any messenger to come after Muham- mad is to preach and confirm existing scripture (3:81). Unfor tunately, there is a strong human aversion to the idea of a living, "contemporary messenger." The Koran teaches that Muhammad was ridiculed by his contemporaries: "Is this the one who claims to be God's messenger?" they said. "Is this the one who disrespects your gods?" "Why didn't God commission a better man?" (21:36, 23:44, 25:41, 43:31). The prophet Joseph was treated with suspicion and contempt, then, when he died the people declared that he was God's last messenger (40:34). The vast majority of Muslims believe that Muhammad was the last messenger, even though this idea goes totally against Muhammad's teachings (7:35, 33:40). God has provided powerful, physical, proof in support of my mission as His commissioned messenger to the New World. ************************* *** God made a covenant with the prophets, that He will give them the scripture and wisdom.

The American currency is the only currency in the world hat proclaims: "IN GOD WE TRUST." In America, the people enjoy greater freedom than any- here else in the world. This is why America is God's most eloved nation. Freedom is God's most precious girl, and hose who infringe upon God's rift alienate God, and are xiled from His grace. God has blessed America generously: America is at he top of the world economically, culturally, scientiflcally, ilitarily, and morally. But America is in the new world, and has never received messenger commissioned by God. The old world has received including Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and messengers, many Muhammad. The time has come for a great and special bless ing: a messenger from God to help and guide America, to strengthen its spirltual values, and to deliver urgently needed information. This message provides the correct answers to America's most pressing questions, and offers final solutions for Amer drugs, alcoholism, ica's most stubborn problems, including the burgeoning prison population. it crime, poverty, covers the following main topics: (1) The first direct, physical evidence proving the authenticity of God's message to the new world. (2) Who is God: a glimpse of God's greatness. (3) The illusive secret of "perfect happiness," here and forever. (4) The meaning of life: why were we created? we going: what exactly takes place on the eternal Day of Recompense. (6) Why do tragedies occur? (7) When will this world come to an end?
in vies of the soundance of fraud and i nicehood. commissioned messenger of God was supported by profound signs; invincible miracles to prove that he had been authorized to deliver God's message. When Moses went to Pharaoh, he threw down his staff and it became a serpent. Jesus restor ed sight to the blind, healed the hopelessly Ill, and revived the dead by Goos leave. Similarly, Gods 'messenger to the new world comes with irrefutable computerage prool. God instructs us to demand convincing evidence before we believe and accept HIs messenger. Those who carefully examine the evidence, then reach absolute certalnty and bear a tremendous but joyous responsibility. and every one of us has made a solemn covenant with God before we came to this world, that we shall accept and belleve God made a covenant with the prophets, that He will give them the scripture and wisdom. Then, when a messenger comes to you (0 humankind), you shall believe in him and support him. God said, "Do you accept this, and make such a solemn covenant with Me? They said, "We accept." God said, "You thus bear witness, and! am a witness along with you. [Koran 3:81] God informs us that, for ilis part, He has pledged tremen- dous support and blessings for those who honor this pre-world covenant by believing and supporting His messengers: The final prophet, who brought the final scripture, was Muhammad. According to the Koran, he was not the final messenger (33:40) Any messenger to come after Muhammad is to preach and confirm the existing scriptures (3:81). How- ever, there is a strong human aversion against the idea of "'contemporary messenger." The Koran teaches a living, that every single messenger was ridiculed by his contemporar ies (21:36, 23:44, 40:5). Muhammad was ridiculed: 25:41, "Is this the one commissioned by God?" "Is this the one who attacks your gods," they said. Joseph was treated with ridicule and suspicion and when he died, the people said, "He was the last messenger" (40:34). Similarly, the vast majority f Muslims believe that Muhammad was the last messenger, even though this idea goes totally against Muhammad's teach ings (7:35 & 33:40). The recent exposure of false religionists and famous . evangelists, who claimed to preach the word of God, is one of the major harbingers of the advent of God's message to the New World. It is already predetermined that America will receive, honor, and cherish this message. God is the One who sent His messenger, with the guidance and the true religion, and decreed that it shall prevail, over all other religions, no matter what the idol worshipers do. you who believe, you should know that) many pastors and preachers cheat the people out of their money, and repulse the people from the path of God. (Koran 9:33-34, 48:28] THE PROOF: A CONDENSED SUMMARY Since the advent of Muhammad, God's messenger and the last propher (33:40), many people appeared who claimed to be messengers of God. These include Baha'ullah of Iran, Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian, Pakistan, and Joseph Smith, the Mormon leader. None of these men, however, produced any kind of evidence that they were commissioned messengers I God. More significantly, they did not possess the criteri I God's messengers; they did not advocate the worshi of God alone. Their preaching was replete with idolization of Muhammad and/or Jesus. Lies there prophets utter in ily name. the Lord said to me. I did not send them: I gave them no command nor did I speak to them. Lying visions, foolish divination. dresms of their own imagination, they prophesy to you. [Jeremiah 14:14) "Be on your guard against false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but underneath are wolves on the prowl. You will knom them by their deeds" (Matthem 9:15-16) Who is more evil than one who fabricates lles concerning God, or claims to have received divine revelations, when nothing has been revealed to him? (Koran 6:93] My mission as a divinely commissioned messenger of God is supparted by physical evidence that will never be refuted by the objective and honest rosearcher. The evidence Is in the form of a formidable mathematieal code within God's final message to the world. This code is based on the number 19, and is clearly beyond human capability. It is impossible to give the details of the Koran's extensive mathe matical composition in this preface, I have published five books on the subject. But I will present here sufficient exam- ples to illustrate this 19-based miracle which is described by the Almighty Himself as "One of the greatest miracles (74:30-35): I. The word "God," the most important word, is mentioned in the Koran 2698 times, or 19x142. 2. When we add up the numbers of all verses where the word "Gou occurs, the total comes to 118123, also a multiple of 19 (118123 = 19x6217). Thie proves the superhuman accuracy of the verse numbers. 3 The word "Koran" is mentioned in the Koran 59 times, 19x3. 4. When we add the verse numbers where the word "Koran" is found, the total is 2660, or 19x140. 5. The word "Koran" occurs in 38 surts, 1912. When we add the number of suras where we find the 6. word "Koran," plus the total of perse numbers reported the grand total (2660+38) se: 2598, which above (2660), equals the number of occurrences of the word "God" 7. The Koran's famous opening statement (In the Hame of God, Most Gracious, Most Mercifull consists of 19 Arabic letter. 8. Each component word In the Korany opening statement occurs in the whole book a number of times which &s consistentty a multiple of 19. 9. The Koran corsists of 114 suras, or 19x6. 10. The total number of verses in the Koran is 5348, a 19x334. 11. The famous first revelation (96:1-3) consisted of 19 wordy, and 76 letters (19x4). 12. The last sura revealed (Sura 110) consists of 19 worde. This is only a quick idea about a vast and intricate mathe matical code that is so overwhelming, it proves and guards the authenticity of every element of the Koranthe number of suras, the number of verses, the number of words, the number of certain specified letters, the unique and often strange spelling of certain crucial words, and many other elements of the Koran. As it turned out, this divine 19 besed mathematical code is aiso found in Gods previous messapes. The following is a direct quotation from a book entitled STUDIES IN JEWISH MYSTICISM (Association for Jewish Studies, Cambridge, editorz, Dan and Frank Talmage, Massachusetts, Joseph 1982, Page 91). It refers to the work of Rabbi Judah the Pious, more than nine centuries ago: there are only nineteen imes that the Holy Name is mentioned (in that portion of the morning proyer), ... and similarly you find the word Elohim nineteen

The role of the number 19 as fiods own signature on everything He created Is reported In the new edition of my tramelation of the Koran (in preparation). It is now estab- lished that this number plays a significant role in the creation, throughout the universe, in nature, and even in historical i humblv offer the following 19-based facts as specific evidence reistin? to my mission as God's messenger: Despite the orerwhelming prevalence of God's mathemati- cal code throughout the Koran, and Its obvious simplielty, Lhousands of scholars, over a period of 14 centuries, were prevented from seeing Il. Such simple facts as the 18-lettered openine statement, the number of suras (19x6), the 19 words of the first revelation, the 19 words of the last sura revealed, and the fact that the number 19 Is mentioned specifically In connection with the Is human-made that the Koran disbelievers claim (74:25-31): all these should have been casily detected. 2.

According 1o the Koran (22:78), the true religion heing Its scripture, the Koran, was reverled Through Muhammad. With the advent of the computer age, and in fulfiliment of the Koranic prophecy, God blessed me with (1) the discovery of TIP PROOF: physical evidence provine the authenticlly of the Koran, and (2) the unveiling I the Koran's secrets. The rematrical valle of the mor Is 200+300+1+4 = Sn5. Separately, none of these values is a multiple of 19. But the total value of the three names is 855, or 19x45. This reflects the facts that Abraham was the rellgion's original messenger, while Muhammad delivered its scripture, and Rashad was blessed with dellverine the religion's proof of authenticity. 6.
