(Ifyou want to check the referencespresentedabove,please note that, after the name of each hadith collectionthe
first numberis the numberof the book (chapter),and secondnumber is the number of hadith.For instance,152nd
hadith in the 56th book ofBukhary is expressedas:Bukhary 56/152. In fewreferences,however,we gave the name of
the book (chapter), insteadof its number,such as: Bukhary, Jihad 176).
These are only a minute sample of hadithswhich Muslimscholars accept as theirsecondreligioussource and they
accuse the people whodo not accept these teachings of beingdivertedfromthe truth. The above hadithsare their
truth.
Now let'ssee what is the Quranic truth.
 Quran, the whole Quran, and nothingbut Quran. Godrevealedthe Quran to Muhammad, His messengerand
last prophet (27:6).
 The onlybook that the messengerdeliveredtothe world is the Quran (6:19).
 The sole missionof the messengeristo deliverthe message (16:35).
 We must obeyGod'smessengers(3:31-32; 24:56).
 Anyone who disobeysGodand His messengerisa disbeliever(72:23).
 We have beencommandedto followthe Quran alone (7:2-3; 17:46).
 The Quran contains everythingthat we needfor guidance (16:89).
 Goddid not leave anything out of the Quran (6:38).
 Wisdom(hikmah) is inGod'sQuran; not necessarily inmen'shadith (17:39; 36:2).
 Anythingthat is not commandedin the Quran, God leftit up to our minds and intelligence todecide (5:101).
 The ProphetAbraham was the founderof Islam and a goodexample for us (22:78; 2:135; 60:4).
 Muhammad was the followerofAbraham (3:68; 16:123).
 All religiouspractices; dailyprayers, obligatory charity, fasting,and pilgrimage come through Abraham (21:73;
2:43,127-128; 2:183; 3:43; 19:31-59; 20:14).
 We shouldnot followany hadith besidesthe Quran as the source of God'sreligion(45:6).
 There are those who use vain hadith to misleadpeople, withoutknowledge (31:6).
 We do not needfabricated hadith,because the Quran isfullydetailed(12:111).
 The besthadith is the Quran (39:23).
 The onlysunnah (law) isGod'ssunnah (33:38,62; 35:43).
 Those who decree religiouslawsneverauthorizedby God,and theirfollowers,are idol worshipers(42:21).
 The Quran is fullydetailed,not vague (30:28; 41:3).
 Quran has beenexplainedanddetailedbyGod Himself(11:1; 75:19).
 Godis the teacher ofthe Quran (55:1).
 The Quran is easy to understand for believers;while itisimpossible foridol worshipers(54:17,22,32,40; 17:46;
18:57).
 The ProphetMuhammad, as a good example,didnot accept and followany other source besidesthe Quran
(5:48-49; 6:114; 10:15).
 Godguaranteed the preservationofthe Quran, not the hadith (15:9; 36:69; 38:87; 41:42; 43:4; 56:78).
 God'sword is perfect(6:115).
 Those who followconjecture are diverted(6:112).
 Goddoes not forget(19:64).
 Goddoes not run out of words (18:109).
 Those who are not certain about the hereafter, are not satisfiedwiththe Quran, they want to amend it with
other books
 (10:15).
 Those who divide theirreligionintosects are not followersof Muhammad (6:159).
 The complaintof the messengerinthe hereafterwill be about the desertionofthe Quran, not hadith (25:30).
The Same Mistake
The Jewshad receivedthe Torah whichwascomplete andfullydetailedlike the Quran(6:154; 7:145).
However,theywere notsatisfiedwiththe wordof God,andaskedirrelevantquestions.Whentheycouldnotfind
answersto theirpettyquestions,theystartedtoinvent.Thissatanicattitude led themtoproduce Mishnah(oral) and
Gemarah (traditions).
Justlike the Jews,the Muslimsfabricatedmanyliesandattributedthemto the prophet.Itissignificantthattheycalled
theirfabrications Hadith(oral) and Sunna (traditions), similartoJews.The ignorantpeople asked manyirrelevantand
absurdquestionswhichhave beencriticizedinthe Quran(2:67-70; 5:101).
 For instance,which hand shall we use while eating?
 Whichside shall we lay while sleeping?
 Whichfoot shall we enterwith into the bathroom?
 Whichhand shall we start to wash for ablution?
 How long shall we grow our beards?
 Whichsequence shall we followwhen we cut our nails?
 Whichvegetablesare most holy?
These foolishquestionsencouraged manyhypocritestofabricate hadithsandattribute themtothe prophet (6:112-116).
It issignificantthatthe mostreliable books,forinstance thatof Bukhary,waswrittenat leasttwocenturiesafterthe
prophetdied.
The Quranic Prophecy About 'Hadith' and 'Sunnah'
 The Quran prophesiedthat enemiesofthe prophet Muhammad would fabricate liesand attribute them to
him(6:112-116).
The Quran hasnamedthese fabrications"hadith"whilenamingthe Quran "ahsanal hadith" (besthadith)(39:23).
Obviously,Godknewthatthe idol worshiperswouldcall those fabrications "Hadith".Itisinterestingthattheydidnotcall
theirlies "Aqwal = sayings","Akhbar = narrations", "Hikam = Aphorisms",or any otherwordfromthe richArabic
language.Theyunwittinglytermedtheir inventions"Hadith".
This Is A Fulfillment Of The Quranic Projection:
"Thisis not a fabricatedHadith. It is a confirmationof previous scriptures,detailingeverything,anda guide and mercy
for those who believe." (12:111)
Theyclaimthat the Quran isnot fullydetailed!!TheythusrejectGod's repeatedassertionthatthe Quran is "Complete,
Perfect,and FullyDetailed" (6:19,38,114), andjustifythe creationof 60 volumesof Hadith, andthousandsof nonsensical
teachingsthatare supposedtocomplete the Quran.Byreflectingon (12:111) above,one can see God's answertothose
fabrications.
God informsusthat we do notneedfabricatedhadith;thatthe Quranis all we need.AlmightyGodrejectsboth "Hadith"
and the basicexcuse foracceptingitas a source of Islam.Noexcuse isacceptedfromthe followers of hadithinthisworld,
nor on the Day of Judgment.
God asks them:
In which hadith, besides God and His revelations do they believe? (45:6)
They reply:"We believe inBukhary,Muslim,Tirmizy, Ibn Hanbal, Kafi, Nahjul Balaga, and more besidesGod's
revelations."
God challenges the idol worshipers:
"Let them produce a hadith' like this, if they are truthful." (52:34)
As a response,theyslanderthe prophetinone of theirholyhadith books(AbuDawood): "The prophet, peace be upon
him, said,'I was giventhe Quran and a hadith like it'."
According to the Quran, there isonly one valid sunna (law):God'slaw (Sunnatullah) (33:38,62; 35:43; 40:85; 48:23).
Unlimitedhadithbooksbesidesthe Quran Inboth Sunni andShiahsects the exactnumberof acceptedhadithbooksis
not known.However, Sunnisgenerallyagree onsix hadithbookswhichare called"Kutubi Sitteh" (SixBooks). These are
Bukhary, Muslim,Tirmizy, Ibni Majah, Nesaiyand Abu Dawud. Additionally,theyrespectMuwatta,Darimy and Ibn
Hanbal. Muslimscholarsinmany casespreferredBukharyto the Quran.So much so thatHanafi scholarsclaimedpublicly
that hadithcan abrogate Quranicverses. Forexample,accordingtothem,2:180 and 4:24 have beeninvalidatedby
hadith.Infact, all othersectsalsodo not accept the judgementof these versesbuttheyare notso frank.
 What is your opinion on the hadiths I presented in the beginning? How
many of them are correct?
 How many centuries after the prophet's death was your most holy hadith
book, Bukhary, written?
 In how many correct hadiths do you believe?
 If hadith is one of the most important sources of Islam, then why did not
God preserve it like the Quran?
 In which hadith do you believe besides words of God?
 Why does not Bukhary narrate a single hadith through Abu Hanifah, but
narrates from Marwan b. Hakam, a notorious murderer and drunkard who
destroyed the original copy of the Quran?
 Is the Quran perfect, clear, complete, and fully detailed?
 Is the Quran easy or difficult to understand?
 Why do you change the place of the word "alone" in 17:46: "... and when
you preach your Lord, using the Quran alone, they run away in aversion"?
QUESTION 2
Do These Verses Require Us To Follow a Mishmash of Narrations?
Distortingthe meaningof the Quranicverses,takingthemoutof context, claimingthatsome versesabrogate othersare
some of the tacticsusedby the followersof HadithandSunna.Monarchistictheocratical kingdomsuse the ulamato
divert"Muslim"masses.The fabricatedsatanicteachingshave transformedthe religionof Godintoa mishmashliturgy
and a ritual torture.Here,God willing,we willexpose theirtrue colorsbyevaluating some versesmostoftenabusedby
them.
A good example has beensetfor you by the messengerofGod (33:21).
The falsifiershave presentedmedieval Arabculture andtraditionsasgood examplesof the messenger.However,if you
lookat the context,the good example hasbeendescribedasthe messenger'scourage and hisconstantremembrance of
God. Theyextendedthisgoodexample toirrelevant individualorcultural behaviors.Forinstance,theysanctifiedthe
beardand turban,ignoringthe factthat the Meccan idol worshipers,suchas Abu Lahab and Walidb. Mugiyra alsohad
longbeardsand wore turbans.
What isworse,the actionsand wordsascribedtoprophetMuhammadhave depictedhimwithacharacter that isfar from
exemplary.The Hadithbooks portraysthe prophetasa phantasmagoriccharacterwitha multiple personality.That
character ismore fictitiousthanmythological godsand goddesses,suchasHermes,Pan,PoseidonandAphrodite.He isa
pendulous character,bothbouncinguptodeity,anddownto the lowestdegree.He is bothwise andmoron.He is
sometimesmore merciful thanGodandsometimesa cruel torturer.He isboth perfectandcriminal,humble and
arrogant, chaste and sex maniac,trustworthyandcheater,illiterateandeducator, richandpoor, a nepotistanda
democraticleader,caringanda male chauvinist,abelieverandadisbeliever,prohibitingHadithandpromoting Hadith.
You can findnumerousconflictingpersonalitiespresentedasan exemplaryfigure.Choosewhicheveryoulike.
This peculiaraspectof Hadith collectioniswell describedbythe propheticversesof the Quran:"Shall we treat the
Muslims(Submitters) like the criminals?What is wrong with your judgement?Do you have a book where you can find
anything you wish?" (68:35-38).
Furthermore,asimilarstatementismade aboutAbraham:"Agood example has beenset for you by Abraham and those
with him" (60:4,6).
If verse 33:21 requiresMuhammad'shadith, thenwhy wouldnot the verses60:4,6 require Abraham'shadith?
Whichbooks narrate hadithsfrom Abraham?
Obviously,the onlyreliablesource forbothexamplesisthe Bookof God, whichnarrates the relevantexemplaryactions.
It also warns us not to repeat the mistakes committedby Muhammad (33:37;80:1-10).
Obey God and His Messenger (4:59).
ObeyingBukhari,anarrator of lies,isnotobeyingthe messenger.Obeying the messengerisobeyingthe complete,
perfectandfullydetailedQuran. Verse 25:73 describesthe attitude of believerstowardsGod'srevelations. Butthe
followersof HadithandSunnaare verygood inignoringthem.They donotsee 6:19, 7:3, and 50:45 whichsaythat the
onlyteachingdelivered byGod'smessengerwasthe Quran.Theydonot thinkthat Muhammadpracticed the Quran,and
the Quran alone (5:48, 49). Theydo not hearMuhammad's only complaintabouthispeople (25:30).Theydo not
understandthatMuhammad disownsthose whodonot understandthatthe Quranis enoughandfully detailed(6:114).
The firstverse of Chapter9 statesthat an ultimatumisissuedfromGodan His messenger.We know thatthe versesabout
the ultimatumare entirely fromGod.Goddidnot consultMuhammadaboutthe ultimatum.Muhammad'sonly mission
was to deliverGod'smessage (16:35; 24:54).
Thus,the reasonthat God includedthe messengerin 9:1 isbecause he participatedasdeliverer of the ultimatum.
Similarly,because peoplereceive God'smessage through messengerswe are orderedtoobeythe messengers.
We alsoknowthat the :
 Quran isa permanentmessenger(65:11), and
 the Quran is a reminderand delivererofgoodnews (41:4; 11:2).
 Nor is he speaking out of personal desire.It is a divine inspiration(53:3,4).
 Meccan idol worshipersclaimedthat Muhammad was the author ofthe Quran (25:5; 68:15).
 The beginningof Chapter 53 is about the revelationofthe Quran. It states that "the Quran is from Him".It is
not Muhammad's personal claim; it is a divine statement.
Therefore,claimingthatthe pronoun"it"inthe verse 53:4 refersto the wordsof Muhammad,not of God, isan obvious
distortion.Accordingtothe above verse "it"isrevelation, withoutexception.Thiscanbe validonlyforthe Quran. Itis
nonsense to claimthatMuhammad's dailyconversationwasentirelyrevelation.
For example,
God firmlycriticizesMuhammad'swords to Zayd (33:37).
Obviously, the criticismwasnotabout revelation.The beginningphrase of Chapter97 informsusaboutthe revelationof
the Quran: "We revealeditin the Night of Destiny".The "it"inthisverse isthe same as the "it"in 53:4.
. . . And we sent down to you this message,to proclaim (litubayyena) forthe people everythingthat is sentdown to
them,perhaps they will reflect (16:44).
People whoestablishHadithandSunnaasanothersource of religious teachingsbesidesthe Quran,optedthe irrelevant
meaningof the Arabicword"BYN".The word "'lituBaYyeNa" isaderivative of "BYN",whichisamultiple-meaningword.
It means:1) To reveal what is concealed. 2) To explainwhat is vague.
The firstmeaningisthe antonymof "hide", the secondisthe antonymof "make vague". God ordersMuhammad to
proclaimthe revelationwhichisrevealedtohimpersonally.
 Indeed,thisis the whole missionofthe messengers(16:35).
 Prophetssometimesexperience difficulty inproclaimingthe revelation(33:37, 20:25).
 If the Quran is a profound Arabic book, if it isexplainedbyGod, and ifit is simple to understand (5:15; 26:195;
11:1; 54:17; 55:1-2),
thenthe prophetdoesnothave an extramissiontoexplainit.Furthermore,the verse 75:19 doesnotleave anyroomfor
an extrahumanexplanation.Thus,the word"litubayyena" of 16:44 issimilartothe one in3:187. Verse 3:187 tellsusthat
the people whoreceivedthe revelationshould "proclaimthe scripture to the people, andnever conceal it."
The Quran is simple to understand (54:11). Whoeveropenshis/hermindand heartasa monotheistandtakesthe time
to studyit,will understandit. Thisunderstandingwill be enoughforsalvation.Beyondthis,tounderstand the multi-
meaningversesyoudonotneedtobe a messengerof God.If you have a goodmindand have studiedthe Quranasa
believer,thatis,if you have a deepknowledge,thenyouwill be able tounderstandthe true meaningsof multiple-
meaningverses.
The verse 3:7, whichisaboutthe multiple-meaningverses,pointsthisfactina multiple-meaningway(this isan
interestingsubjectwhichwarrantsanotherarticle):"... Noone knows theirtrue meaningexceptGod and those who
possessknowledge..."
O you who believe, do not place your (opinion) above God and His messenger (49:1).
Followersof hadithandsunnaclaimthatGod is representedbythe Quran, andthe messengerisrepresentedbyhis
opiniononthe Quran.Thus,they claimthat the Quran is notenoughforsalvation.Some peoplemaynotutter thisclaim
straightforwardly.Theymayevenclaimthatthe Quranis complete andenoughforourguidance.However,further
questioningwillrevealthattheirquranisnot "the Quran".The Quranis the one that consistsof 114 Chaptersand6346
verses.Itisa mathematicallycoded book.However,theirmindsare confused,andtheirquraniscontaminated with
humanspeculationsandlimitedbyasnap-shotinterpretation.Theytry toscare the believersbysaying"youdonotlike
the messenger".The beliefthatGodis representedbythe Quran, andthe messengerbyhis teachingisa satanicclaim.
There are several pointsto remember:
 Quran representsGodand His messenger.
 Obeyingthe Quran is obeyingGodand the messenger.
 Quran neversays: "ObeyGodand Moses," or"ObeyGod and Muhammad." But, Quran consistentlystates:
"ObeyGodand the messenger." Thisis because the word messenger(rasul) comesfrom the "message" (risala).
The message is entirelyfromGod;messengerscannot existwithout the message.
 Messengersashumans make mistakes.Thus, when believersmade a covenant with prophet Muhammad they
promisedto obey himconditionally,i.e.,his righteousorders (60:12). Moreover,God specificallyorders
Muhammad to consult the believersaroundhim(3:159). If nobody can objectto the personal decisionof the
messenger,thenconsultationis meaningless. However,wheneverthe final decisionismade, it shouldbe
followed.
 During their lifetimes,messengersare community leaders.Inthis regard messengersare not differentthanthe
believerswhoare in charge (4:59); both shouldbe obeyed.But, this obedience isnot absolute.It is openfor
consultationand discussion.
 The positionof messengersare differentduringtheirlives;theyare interactive teachersand curious students
as well.We have the chance to ask them further questions,discussissues,learntheirintention,and even
correct their mistakes.On the other hand, theyhave the opportunityto correct our misunderstandings.
However,whenthey pass away theirteaching becomesfrozenand loosesits advancing three-dimensional
character. The frozen,snap-shotfragmentsof knowledge isa dangerousweapon in the hand ofignorant
people to stop God'steachings.Theydefendeveryplainerror in the name of the messenger.Theyinsult every
sincere studentsof God's revelation.
"Say, 'I do not ask you for any wage. But, what I ask from each of you is to take care of the relatives'" (42:23).
Thisverse ismostlyabusedbyShiite Muslims.Theyclaimthatprophet Muhammadwasorderedtoask helpforHIS
relatives.Thisdistortioncreated aclassof bloodsuckingpeople survivingoncharity.Hundredsof thousands of people in
Iran, Iraqand otherMiddle Easterncountriesclaimthatthey are descendentsof prophetMuhammad(Sayyeedor
Shareef) andtheyare entitledtoobligatoryfinancial help.Theyabuse the verse mentionedabove toexploitpeople
economically.However,the verse doesnotsay "myrelatives".The contextof the verse isplainenoughtostate that
Muhammad doesnot needa wage from the believersandif theycanhelpsomebodythey shouldhelptheirown
relatives.Indeed,helpingthe relativesisadivine commandrepeatedin 2:83; 4:36; 8:41; 16:90.
The special statusgiventothe descendentsof MuhammadthroughFatimaand Ali hascreateda privilegedand"sacred"
religiousclass.
An Analogy
The Quran broadcastsa veryclearmessage.However,the problemiswithour receivers.If ourreceiverdoesnothearthe
broadcast or cannotunderstand itwell,thensomethingiswrongwith ourreceiverandwe have to checkit. If the signal is
weak,we needtorecharge our batteries,orresetour antennas.If we donot receive aclearmessage,we needtotune
intothe station,to the stationof Quran alone,inorderto getrid of the noises andinterference fromothersources.We
may asksome helpfrom knowledgeable peopleorexpertsforthistask.If the receiverdoesnot workat all,thenwe have
to make a sincere efforttofix the brokenparts. However,if we believe thatthe problemisin the broadcast,thennobody
can helpus.The divine broadcastcanbe heardin detail onlybythose who sincerelytune in,i.e.,those whotake it
seriouslyandactaccordingly. The conditionof ourreceiverandthe antenna,the powerof the battery, andthe precision
level of ourtuningare veryimportantingettingthe divine message properly.
 If the verse 33:21 requires Muhammad's hadith, thenwhy wouldnot the verses 60:4,6
require Abraham's hadith? Whichbooks narrate hadiths from Abraham?
 You try to justify your collections of hadiths by using 33:21. Ironically, your collections
do not provide an exemplary character. Howcan you claim that an eye-gouger, aurine-
prescriber, asex maniac is a "good example"?
 The Quran states "Obey Godand the messenger." Howcan you twist this
commandment and make Bukhary, or Al-Kafy and many other story books as the
secondsource of Islam? According toverse 4:59 we have to obey the people in charge
too. Thus, does it mean that Islam is a co-authoredreligionby at least three sources?
 The first verse of Chapter 9 states that anultimatumis issuedfromGod an His
messenger. We knowthat the verses about the ultimatumare entirely fromGod.
Muhammad was not the co-author of the ultimatum. Muhammad's only missionwas
to deliver God's message (16:35;24:54). Thus, the reasonthat Godincludes the
messenger in9:1 is messenger's participationas a deliverer of the ultimatum. Why
don't you apply this explanationtoother verses where the word"messenger"is
mentionedafter God?
 Why do you distort the meaning of 53:3,4 by taking it out of context?
 By claiming that it is the missionof the messenger toexplainthe Quran, youcontradict
16:35;55:2;75:19 andmany other verses. Inorder to support your claim you opt a
different meaning of "litubayyena"in 16:44. Infact, the word "litubayyena"of 16:44 is
no different thanthe one in 3:187. This verse tells us that the people whoreceivedthe
revelation should"proclaimthe scripture topeople, andnever conceal it." How can
you claim that the meaning of "litubayyena"in 16:44 is "toexplain", but not "to
proclaim"?
 You have createdaprivilegedclass out of descendents of the prophet Muhammadby
misinterpreting 42:23. What are the Arabic equivalence of "the relatives"and"my
relatives"? Whichone is mentionedinthat verse?
QUESTION 3
How Reliable Is Your Most Authentic Hadith?
It isthe allegedfinal sermon(Khutba) of the Prophet(KhutbatAl-Wadaa'). Thisgreatandhistoriceventisreportedin
manyimportantbooksof hadith,includingMuslim,Muwatta,IbnMajah, Abu Dawud, AhmedIbn Hanbal. The big
problemis:these booksreportthree vastlydifferentdoctrines fromthishistoricsermonwhichwaswitnessedby 100,000
witnesses(mosthadithswere supposedlywitnessedby 1 or 2 people).Infact,the main topicin that all-importantsermon
givesthree contradictingcommandments.
Here is whatthe prophetallegedlysaid:
1) "I am leavingfor you two things that you must uphold,the Quran and my Sunnah" (Accordingto Muwatta
46/3).
2) "I am leavingfor you the Quran and my relatives(Ahl Al- Bayt)" (Accordingto Muslim44/4, Nu 2408; Ibn
Hanbal 4/366; Darimi 23/1, Nu 3319).
3) "I am leavingfor you the Quran; you shall upholdit" (Accordingto Muslim15/19, Nu 1218; Ibn Majah 25/84,
Nu 3074; Abu Dawud 11/56, Nu1905).
As yousee,the LASTwordsof the LAST sermonof the LASTprophetwhichhad beenwitnessedbythe greatestnumberof
hisfriends,have beenreportedin three differentversions.
a) What didthe prophet leave for us according to your most authentichadith? Whichone of the three reports is
correct?
b) What didthe prophet leave for us according to the besthadith, i.e., the Quran? (6:19,38,114; 5:48-49; 12:111;
39:23).
c) How can we trust those hadith books which can change the most important words, though witnessedby
thousands of people?Whichhadithcan we trust beside the Quran(45:6)?
QUESTION 4
Why Are You So Belligerent?
The Quran statesfrequentlythatthere isnocompulsioninreligion(2:256; 10:99; 88:21,22). The Quran advocatesperfect
freedomof belief and expression(18:29).The basic law regulatingrelationswithunbelieversis statedin60:8,9. Apostates
can not be killedunlesstheyfightagainstthe believers(4:90).However,accordingtohadithandsunnah,a personwho
leavesIslamshouldbe killed.
The viciouslawsthatexistinhadithbooksalteredIslamintoatyrannical religion.Accordingtohadithandsunnah,if a
muslimdoesnotpractice dailycontactprayers(salat),he orshe shouldbe warnedandif they still donotpray; they
shouldbe putin prisonor killed.The perfect,complete, clearandfullydetailedQuran (6:19,38,114,115,116; 11:1;
12:111; 54:17), nowhere tellsustopunishthose whodonotobeythiscommandment.A careful studywill show thatall
punishmentsdecreedbyGodinvolvesocial andindividual relations;notreligiousbelief andpractices. However, scholars
producedmyriadviciouslawsandattributedthemto God(6:21; 42:21). Accordingto the Quran, violence anbelligerence
are signs of disbelief (22:72).
a) Do the laws that existinHadith books commandingof killingapostates conflictwith the Quran?
b) The greatestsin is settingup idolsbesidesGod(4:116), and those who commitsuch a sin can not be
forcedto worshipGod alone (18:29). Daily prayers should be observedonly for God(20:14). Is it not a
fact that whereversuch a tyrannical rule is practiced,hypocrisy, oppressionand ignorance become
widespreadamong the people?
c) The Quran mentionstheft,slander, homicide,andother crimes and also decreespunishmentsforeach
of them.Why doesit not command us to punish people whodo not observe prayers,although prayers
are mentioned90 times in it?
QUESTION 5
Why Do You Sanctify Those Who Eliminated Chapters From, Or Added Chapters To The Quran?
Accordingto the booksof hadith, AbdullahIbn Masood wasone of the top companionsof the prophetMuhammad.His
hadithnarrationsare among Sunni Muslim'smostcherishedsourcesof jurisprudence.Manyhadithandnarration books,
includingBukharyand Ibn Hanbel, reportthat Ibn Masood had a personal copyof the Quran andhe didnotput the last
twochapters init. Accordingto those bookshe wasclaimingthatthose two chaptersdonot belonginthe Quran.
Apparently,anothercompanionof the prophet, UbayyIbnKaab, alsohad a differentpersonalQuran.He addedtwo
chapterscalled "SuraAl-Hafd" and "Sura Al-Khal",andclaimedthatthese were fromthe Quran.(These "chapters"are
still beingrecitedbyHanafiesinthe "Salatel Witr", afternightprayers.
a) What is your opinionconcerningbooks of hadith and Suyuty'sAl-Itqan whichnarrate this information?Are
these books slanderingthe companions of the prophet? Whydo you accept such books as your religious
sources?
b) If those books that narrate the above claimsare correct, thenhow can you relyon the hundredsof hadiths
which are narrated by IbnMasood and Ubayy Ibn Kaab?
c) Here isa man who eliminatedtwochapters from, and anotherman who addedtwo chapters to the Quran
without proof.Yet, you still considerthemas your most authoritative sourcesof knowledge.Whydo you not
proclaim Ibn Masood and Ubayy Ibn Kaab "apostates"?
QUESTION 6
When Did A Hungry Goat Eat Your "Verse Of Stoning To Death"?
God statesinHis fullydetailedbook,the Quran,thatthe adultererand adulteressshouldbe punishedbyone hundred
lashes.The profoundversesof Qurandonotmake anydistinctionbetweenmarriedandsingleadulterers (24:1,2).
Whetherthose whocommitadulteryare marriedorunmarried,white or black, richor poor,theirpunishmentmustbe
one hundredlashesif theyare provenguiltybyfour eye witnesses (24:4).The onlyexceptionsare slaves,whose
punishmentishalf of the free (4:25).This isthe law of God whodoesnot run outof words (31:27), isthe bestlawmaker
(5:50), neverforgets(19:64), andhas detailedthe Quran (11:1). Whoeverlooksforothersourcesof law disobeysthe
messenger(6:114). Believersdonotsubscribe toanyreligioussource otherthanGod'srevelation(45:6).
Unfortunately,afterthe deathof the prophetMuhammad,the hypocrites fabricatedhadithsandattributedthemtothe
prophetanddistortedGod's law.The people whoare describedin 6:112 producedlie afterlie tochange the punishment
of adulterytodeathby stoningformarriedadulterers.They adoptedthislaw fromthe Jewsandtheiridol worshipping
ancestors (11:91; 44:20; 36:18; 26:116) claimingthatthe wordsof God are notcomplete and clearin24:1-2. It is
significantthatthe AlmightyGodstatedinthe beginningof Chapter24, thatthis law isprofoundandclear!!!
The Satanic Theory of Abrogation in the Quran
By declaringthe wordof God to be vague and ambiguous,Sunni andShiah scholarsopenedasatanicgate foreverykind
of abuse anddistortion. Additionally,bydistortingthe meaningof 2:106, theyclaimedthatmany versesof the Quranhad
beenabrogated(amended) byotherversesorby hadith.Bythis "abrogation theory", theyamendedeveryverse which
they didnot understandorwhichdidnotsuittheirinterestorcontradicted theirhadith.But,like everythingelse,they
disagreedonthe numberof abrogatedverses;some of themabrogated5Quranic verses,some 20verses andsome 50 ...
"The verse that has been abrogated by a goat"!
The Arab idol worshipersfabricatedhadithsandclaimedthatprophet Muhammadstonedacouple (Maizand Gamidiyye)
to death.Since theyrealized thathadithsare notenoughto abrogate the clearversesinchapter24, theyevenfabricated
a "verse"supportingstoningandattributedittoGod. Theytriedto injectthissatanicverse intoQuran.Whentheyfailed,
they fabricatedfoolishstorieswhichonlythe people whoare describedin 10:100 believe.Accordingtotheirstory,the
'stoningverse'was recorded inQuranduringthe time of Muhammad;but justafterhisdeath,a goat enteredAisha's
house andate the page on whichthat verse wasinscribed. Thus,the stoningversehasbeenabrogatedphysically.This
storycan be found inIbn Magah, Nikah, 36/1944 and Ibn Hanbal, 5/131,132,183; 6/269.
How can a verse of a perfectscripture,whichwascompletedduring Muhammad'slifetime, be abrogatedbya goat?As
an answerto this question, IbnQutayba,a famousscholar,inhisbook entitled"Solvingthe ContradictionsAmong
Hadiths" statedthat "the goat is a holyanimal". And he askeda counterquestion: "Whynotbelieve inGod'spower?As
He destroyedthe people of Aad and Thamud, He is also able to destroyHis revelationsby usingevena goat!"
"Omar was a Hypocrite!!!"
The slanderersof Godand the prophetsupportedtheirlieswithotherlies. TheyslanderedKhalif Omarbyattributing
these wordstohim: "Because inthe future some people will appearand deny the punishmentofstoning,by claiming
that theycan not findit in the Quran, if I did not fear that people will say that Omar isadding to the Quran, I would
add the stoningverse intothe Quran!!" (Bukhary 93/21; Muslim,Hudud 1691; Tirmizi,Hudud 8/1431; Abu Dawud
41/1; Itkan 2/34).
So,if Omar fearedGod,insteadof people,the "stoningverse" wouldnothave existedinall booksof hadith as"the verse
eatenby a goat"!
"The Adulterer Monkeys!"
The scholarsof hadithandsunnahwere not contentwiththese stories;they alsostated that"a tribe of monkeys
arrested an adulterermonkey and stonedit to death" (Bukhari,63/27). Those who slanderedevenmonkeys,in orderto
setthemup as an example of followinghadithandsunnah,have beendescribedbyverses 2:65 & 7:179!
These professional liarsalsodidnot spare otherbelievers.Forinstance, AbuHanifawaspersecutedandtorturedinprison
by AmawyandAbbasy religiousofficialsdue tohisrejectionof hadithandacceptingthe Quran alone.He was sucha
popularfigure thatfollowinghisdeath,those officialsusedhispopularityfortheirdecrees.Finally,theyattributeda
whole Sunni secttohim.
"Lie Factories" And Their Managers
In the secondHijrahcentury,hundredsof thousandsof hadithswere fabricated.AttributingliestoGodand His
messengerbecame fashionable. Forexample,Bukharystatesthathe selectedhisseventhousandnarrations outof seven
hundredthousandnarrations. Accordingto Bukhary's own confession,99% ofthe hadiths he collectedwere fake.
Muslimscholarswere aware of the fact that none couldunderstanda religionwhichhadbeendistortedbynarrations,
stories,superstitions, conflictinginstructionsandcruel laws.Thus,theycalledandevenforced people tofollowthem
blindly,withoutreasoningandreflecting.Theywere, andare,alwaysuneasybecauseof fearthat,one day,reasonable
people wouldremove theirsatanicveil andexposetheirignorance. Theydonot realize that Quran condemnsfollowing
anyone blindly(2:170; 5:50,104; 10:78, 100; 17:36; 26:74; 31:21; 43:22,23).
"Joint Stock Company Religion"
Our ancestors,justlike the Jewsandthe Christians,inventedmassive religiousconceptsandwrote enormousreligious
booksand acceptedthemas the foundationfortheirreligion (23:52-56; 42:21). Theychangedthe Religion of Godintoa
jointstockreligion
establishedbyGod + messenger+ familyof the messenger+ friendsofthe messenger+ theirgenerations+ leadersof
sects + scholars of sects....
After this informationandcriticism, let us ask our questions:
a) What is the punishment of adultery according tothe Quran?
b) When did the goat eat the "verse of stoning to death" as is claimed by Bukhary, Muslim, Tirmizy, Ibn
Hanbal ?
c) How was the verse eaten by the goat removed from the Quran after the prophet's death?
d) The six famous books of hadith (kutubi sitta) claim that Omar wanted to put the "stoning verse" into
the Quran; but he could not do this because of his fear of people. Don't these books insult Omar as
being a hypocrite?
e) This terrible punishment which contradicts 24:1,2 and 4:25, is mentioned throughout th e Quran as
the idol worshiper's practice (11:91; 19:46; 36:18; 18:20). Is not this a fact?
f) Do you claim that the "stoning verse" which has been removed from the Quran by a holy goat, is still
valid in jurisprudence? And what is your proof that this "verse" was literally abrogated, yet is still
legally valid?
g) Your "stoning verse" is narrated by all your holy books as "esheyhu wesheyhetu iza zanaya
farcumuhuma elbettete...." Is this consistent with the Quranic prose? You all accept this so called
verse concerning married adulterers. What Arabic words does the Quran use for married people?
What does "esheyhu wesheyhetu" mean in Arabic? (11:72; 12:78; 28:23; 40:67). According to your
literally abrogated but legally valid verse, can a young married adulterer be stoned to death? When is
one considered old?
h) Let's accept your terrible claim for awhile that some verses of the Quran have been abrogated. The
verse 2:106, according to your misunderstanding states: "Whenever a verse is abrogated, God will
substitute a better one or at least a similar one". So, if the "stoning verse" has been abrogated as
claimed; God must substitute a better one or a similar one. So, which verse has been substituted for
the "goat eaten verse"? According to your abrogation theory, how many kinds of abrogations exist?
i) According to your sectarian belief, even abrogated verses remain in the Quran physically. Why has a
verse about such an important issue, i.e., stoning to death, been removed from the Quran physically?
Why has the small punishment remained in the Quran and the capital punishment been abrogated?
j) According to your own history, many believers had memorized the Quran by heart during the
prophet's time. When the goat ate your verse, what happened tothe memorized versions?
k) Why do you slander animals, i.e., monkeys, by following Bukhary who narrates many foolish stories?
l) How many verses have been abrogated in the Quran? Do you agree on their numbers? Do you know
these verses: 4:82; 15:90-99; 2:85 ?
QUESTION 7
Why Do You Prohibit Gold & Silk For Males?
The onlysource of God's religion,Quran,doesnotprohibitgoldandsilk formales.Onthe otherhand,it declaresthat
nobody has the right to prohibitthe nice things that God produces for His creatures (7:30-32). God decreesthatthese
things are reservedexclusivelyforbelieversonthe day of resurrection(18:31; 22:23; 35:33), and theyare alsolawful for
theminthisworld.
a) Are not those who prohibit goldand silkfor male believersaddressedby7:30-32 and 42:21?
b) What is your commenton the hadith which narrates that prophetMuhammad had granted permissionforone
of hiscompanion to wear a goldenring?
QUESTION 8
Why Do You Prohibit Pictures, Music, and Chess?
The Quran as the fullydetailedwordof Goddoesnot prohibitdrawing pictures,makingartisticstatues,playingmusicand
chess.Onthe contrary,it statesthat there were statuesinthe mansion ofProphet Solomon(34:13). It alsostatesthat a
discordant and out-of-tune voice isnot good (31:19).
Accordingto hadith, "The worst people inthe hereafterwill be the paintersand the sculptors, because theyimitated
God'screaturesand for this reasonthey became idol worshipers.In the hereafter,Godwill ask themto give life totheir
picturesor statues.Whenthey fail,Godwill put themin hell". Accordingtoanotherhadith,"musical instrumentswith
strings and reedsare satanic appliances".
a) Why are pictures and statues unlawful, evenif they are made only for artistic
purposes?
b) The statues inthe mansionof Solomon are the result of the biggest sin, according to
the hadith, and this sinleads people intoidol worship. How could a prophet of God
commit sucha sin? Why does God not criticize Solomonfor the statues inhis mansion?
c) Constructing airplanes is animitationof one of God's creatures i.e., birds. According to
your books, constructing airplanes is asin, isn't it?
d) According tothe hadith and sunnah, the traditional Arab's musical instruments likethe
tambourine and drum are lawful; but all non-Arabic musical instruments are unlawful.
How can you explainthis situation? What was the nationality of the majority of hadith
narrators?
QUESTION 9
Which Animals Are Lawful?
The verse 6:145 clearlystatesthatonlyfourkindsof animal productsare prohibitedforeating: animalsthatdie of
themselves,runningblood(not that trapped withinthe meat),the meat ofpigs, and animals dedicatedto otherthan
theirCreator. Verse 146 informsusthat such prohibitionare veryspecific;Godprohibitseither"the meat"or"the fat",or
both,if He so wills.The followingverses 6:147-150 state that whoeverprohibitsother thanthose fouritems,isafollower
of conjecture andhumanopinion.
The Quran alsostatesthat those whoinventprohibitionandattribute them toGod,are idol worshipers.Ironically,those
whoidolize theirscholars byacceptingtheiropinionsasa divine law are notaware of theiridol worship.Theywill assert
that God isthe source of theiridol worshipby sayingthatthese lawswere fromGod (6:148 and 6:23).
The Quran prohibitsonlythe meatof one animal,the pig.Godlefteating otheranimalsuptoour taste.We cannot
prohibitanimalsthatwe donot like andclaimthatGod prohibitedthem. Butthe religiousscholars inventedmany
prohibitionandconsequentlydisagreedonthem.
a) Why is the eating of clam, shrimp, crab, and mussel unlawful according tothe Hanefy sect and lawful
according to Shafiiy and Maliky? What about the Quran and Muhammad?
b) Do the differences between Sunni sects on the dietary prohibition originate from hadith or the
Quran?
c) What food is lawful and what is unlawful in Islam?
d) According to the Quran, division into sects is a behavior of idol worshipers and it is the result of
following man-made books (23:52-56; 6:159). How can you accept this satanic division as a mercy
from God?
e) According to the Quran, only the meat of pig is prohibited, not its fat. God does not prohibit pigs, but
prohibits only the meat of pigs. What is your proof that pig's fat is unlawful in Islam? Did the hadith
inventors forget to fabricate a hadith to prohibit pig's fat?
QUESTION 10
Why Do You Insult And Oppress Women?
Booksof hadithandSunni jurisprudence are full of narrationsandlaws againstwomen,insultingthemandlookingdown
uponthem:
a) "The intelligence and the religion of women are incomplete."
b) "If a monkey, a black dog, or a woman passes in front of a praying person, his prayer is nullified."
c) "To find a good woman among women is similar to finding a white crow among a hundred crows."
d) "The marriage commitment is a kind of slavery for women."
e) "If anybody has been required toprostrate before others beside God, the woman should prostrate
before her husband." "I have been shown the dwellers of hell; the majority of them were women."
f) "If the body of the husband is covered with pus and his wife licks it with her tongue, she still will not
be able to pay her debt to him."
Baseless Hadiths
These are onlya fewexamplesfromthe mostpopularsatanicbooks,Bukhary andMuslim, whichinmanycasesare
preferredoverQuran.The six "authentic"books(Bukhary,Muslim, IbnHanbal,Tirmizy,IbnMajah,and Nesaiy) are full of
manyfabricatedhadithsagainstwomen.Those who acceptedthe narrationsreportedbythe professional liarsof Amawy
and Abbasyastheirreligioussource,have unfortunatelycreatedaterrible male oppressionof femalesforcenturies.
Accordingto the Quran,
 those who are not contentwith Quran and fabricate liesand attribute themto the prophet, are the enemyof
the prophet(6:112-116).
 Those who upholdbaselesshadith,and thus divert othersfrom the path of God withoutknowledge,and take it
in vain, have incurred a shameful retribution (31:6).
Accordingto God's law,
a) womenhave the same rightsas men(2:228).
b) Womencan divorce theirhusbands (2:230, 233, 228; 4:35).
c) Womencannot remarry until they have three menstruationbut men have no such obligationand this is the
only difference (2:228).
On the otherhand, The Arabs who are describedas "the worst disbelievers" bythe Quran (9:97), fabricatedmany
religiouslawsparalleltotheirdespicable attitude towardswomen.
Accordingto the Sunni religion,the womanhasnoright of divorce .The husbandcan divorce hiswife wheneverhe wants,
but a womancannot divorce herhusband,evenif she hateshim.
a) Do you accept the hadiths we quotedabove from Bukhari and Muslim?
b) What is the Quranic descriptionof those whoproduce lies and attribute themtothe
prophet?
c) Quran has given women equal rights (2:228). Why doyou not give them the right of
divorce?
d) According tothe Quran, divorce is a case that takes at least four months to be put into
effect (2:226;4:35;65:6). After divorce, womenmust wait at least three menstruation
before remarriage (2:228-230). A couple can divorce one another twice and can
remarry, but after the thirddivorce they cannot remarry consecutively (2:229, 230).
Whoever says that he divorcedhis wife merely by verbal announcement of the divorce
(talaq) three times, is simply aliar. Howcan a husband divorce his wife three times
only by saying, "I divorce you by three talaqs (divorces)"?
e) According toyour sectarianreligion, if ahusband utters certain words, evenby mistake
or in anger, he gets divorced. He cannot marry his wife anymore. How many couples
have beenforcedto divorce since this rule was presentedas adivine law? How much
money have your scholars made for finding tricky ways to reunite the "divorced"
couples?
f) Because youhave not givenwomen their right of divorce, sometimesyou encounter
very serious social problems. Tosolve these problems, Hanafi scholars decreedthat a
woman shouldbe considereddivorcedevenif her husband divorces her under
pressure. What is your opinion on this Sunni law?
QUESTION 11
Why Do You Force Women To Cover Their Hair, And Even Their Face?
One of the mostabusedand distortedsubjectsafterMuhammad,of course,is the jurisprudenceaboutwomen.Likethe
Christians,the Muslimscholars alsoinventedhermitism (57:27),and byhadithsand theirpersonal opinions,they
deprivedwomenof theirGod-givenrights.Inthe muslim society,womenbecame deaf,dumbandblindcreatures.
Muslimscholarshave humiliatedwomanbytheirsatanicteachings,takingawayherdivorce right, notallowingherto
pray,read Quran,fast, or worshipGodduringher menstruation,consideringherequal todonkeysandblackdogs(which
accordingto hadithsshouldbe killedwhereverfound),comparingherwith blackcrows,deprivingherof education,not
acceptingheras a consultant ora leaderof a government...
In addition,Muslimscholarsrefusedtoallowwomentogoout inpublic, unlesstheyputthemselvesinblacksacks...Some
of themwenta step furtherandforcedthemto hide theirface withveils.
Distorting the Meaning of Words
MuslimscholarstriedtoapplytheirsatanicreligiontoQuranand change the meaningof words (4:46; 5:13; 5:41). They
triedto change the meaning of the Arabicword "khumur= covers" in24:31 into"head covers".The word "khumur" isa
plural nounthat comesfromthe root word of "khamara" whichmeans"tocover". The singularformof the same word
"khamr", has beenused forintoxicantswhich "cover" the mind (5:90).Inverse 24:31, God commands female believersto
maintaintheirchastityandputtheircoverson their chests,nottheirheads!Additionally,the word "fel yedribne =they
shall put" is significantinthatverse.If hadithistswere correct,insteadof thisword, "fel yudnine =theyshall lengthen"
(like in33:59) wouldhave beenused.
a) What does "khamara" mean and why do you change the word "khumur = covers"in
verse 24:31, into"khumurur re's = headcovers"?
b) Did womenbelievers during the time of Muhammad use veils tocover their faces or
not? If they were not covering their faces howand why did a main Sunni sect, Shafiiy,
invent veils? If they were covering their faces with veils howand why did a main Sunni
sect Hanefy amend it? Those who can invent veils canalsoinvent head covers. Why
not?
QUESTION 12
Why Do You Make Distinction Among Messengers?
God commandsus not to make any distinctionamong messengers(2:285). Believers'attitude towardsGod's
commandmentsistosay "we hearand we obey";butthose whomanipulate wordssay"we hearand we disobey" (4:46).
God has blessedHismessengerswithdifferentpeculiarities. In2:253 He givessome examplesof these peculiarities,such
as His speakingdirectly withMoses,andgivingprofoundmiraclestoJesusandsupportinghimwith the HolySpirit.In
17:55 He statesthat He had preferredsome messengers toothersbygivingeachof themdifferentblessings,suchas
endowingDavidwithPsalms.ButGoddidnot mentionanywherethatHe had preferred thismessengeroverthat
messenger.Accordingto 2:285, we do not have the rightto make a preference listformessengers.Otherwise,idolizing
messengersandfallingintoabaselessdispute isinevitable.
Putting Messengers into a Satanic Competition
While youclaimthatthe lastprophetisthe highest, someonemayclaim thatthe firstprophetdeservesthisrank.Another
may claimthat Jesusis the greatestprophetandcan supporthisclaimby Jesus'miraculousbirth (19:19), histitle asbeing
"wordof God" (4:171), beinga prophetfrom birthday (19:30), hisnumerousmiraclessuchasrevivingthe deadbyGod's
permission (3:49),andbeingmentionedinaverse thatstatesGod's blessingtothe messengers (2:253). Anotherperson
may claimthat Mosesis the highest,basingitonthe same verse 2:253, and sayingthatthe only prophetthatGod talked
to was Moses (4:164). If anotherputsDavidon the top of the messengerslistbasedon 17:55 whatcan you say?If yet
anothercomesand claimsthatAbrahamis the greatestprophetandsupportshis claimbythe fact thatMuhammad was
hisfollowerandGodhas chosenAbraham as Hisbelovedfriend (4:125),what can yousay? If still anothercomesand
claimsthat Idrisisgreaterthan Muhammadand supportshisclaimbysaying that God may give Muhammadan honorable
rank (17:79); but God exaltedIdris toaloftyrank (19:57), whatcan you say?If anotherone arrangesthe messengers
accordingto theirfrequencyof occurrence inthe Quran,and putsMoses onthe top(136 times),Abrahamthe second(69
times),andputs Muhammadas the 19th or 21st prophetfromthe top of the list,whatcan you say?
Innumerable hadithswere fabricatedtoprove thatMuhammadwas the greatest of all the prophets.AlthoughGodstates
that He didnotgive Muhammadany miraclesexceptthe Quran (29:51; 17:59); the mentalityof those whowere not
contentwithQuranfabricatedhundredsof miraclesforhimtocompete withthe miraclesof JesusandMoses.
Fabrication of "Miracles" to Help Their Idols
Ironically,Muhammad'sworshiperssometimestake outaneye whentryingto make an eyebrow!Forexample,they
claimedbyseveral hadithsinBukhary thatMuhammadcurseda left-handedmanwhoeatingwithhislefthand,and
curseda childpassinginfrontof himwhile he wasprayingandcausedboth of themto be crippled!Byinventingsexual
miraclestheyinsultedthe prophetandhiswiveswithfoolishandshamelessstories.Byinventing Miraj stories(miraculous
ascensiontoheavenwiththe body) theypresent Muhammadasa unionstewartbargainingwithGod onthe numberof
daily prayers;buton the otherside insultinghim,implyingthathe couldnot understandthathisfollowerscannotpractice
50 prayersa day(a prayerper 28 minutes).Aftertakingadvice fromMoseswhowasa residentof the 6thheaven,he
reducedthemto5 prayersa day- afterfive timesgoingup anddownbetweenMosesandGod!To praise Muhammad,
some claimedthatin the generationsfromAdamtoMuhammad there were notanydisbelieversamong hisancestors.To
justifytheirlie,theyclaimedthatAzarwas not Abraham'sfather(6:74). To prove that Muhammadwas the greatest
prophet theyevenclaimedthathe wascreatedfromlight,he hadno shadow,his bodywill notrotin the grave,God
createdthe entire universeforhim,he will have the highestintercessionauthorityinthe hereafter,andsoon...
Their Common Attitude
The common attitude of all idol worshipersistoclaimthat theiridols willrescue themfromGod'spunishmentby
intercession(2:123,254; 6:70,94; 7:53; 10:3; 39:44; 43:86; 74:48; 82:17-19). Insteadof praisingGodday and night(33:42;
76:25), and commemoratingHim (3:41,191; 73:8; 4:103), they alwayspraise andcommemorate theiridolstoguarantee
the intercession. Theysometimesuse the name of Godwithoutanypraise,buttheycan never use the name of theiridol
withoutphrasesof praise.Theyevenaccuse the true believerswhodonotact like themas disbelievers.
Muhammadans contradict their own teaching
Those whoclaim that Muhammad wasthe greatestmessengerare evenignorant of theircontradictoryhadithsonthis
subject.Forinstance; "Ihad more doubt than Abraham had" (Bukhary 60/1). "If I wouldhave beeninvitedto what
Josephhad beeninvited,I wouldnot rejectthat invitation" (Bukhary 60:11,19). "Donot give me a higherrank than
Jonah, do not make distinctionamong messengers" (Bukhary65/4,5; A.B. Hanbel 1/205,242,440; 2:405,451,468). But
theydidignore these hadithsandgetstuck on "I am the most honorable of Adam's children,Iam the one who will be
resurrected first." (Hanbal 1/5; 5/540,388).
Distorting the Meaning
Muhammadanstriedto manipulate the meaningof the verse 2:285 whichcommandsus not to make distinctionamong
messengers:"The messengerbelievesinwhatwassentdownto himfromhisLord, and so dothe believers.Theybelieve
inGod, His angels,Hisscripture,andHis messengers;'We make nodistinctionamonganyof His messengers;'andthey
proclaim:'We hear, andwe obey.Forgive us.You are our Lord. To you is the ultimate destiny.'"Muslimscholarsclaim
that thisverse forbidsusfromdisbelievinginsome messengers,notfromrankingthem.
a) Verse 2:285 states that believersbelieveinGod'smessengers.Whatis the reason of repeatingthe same point
with a differentexpression?Ifthis is stressingthe meaning,then why is not the same stress made for angels
and books?
b) Since God knows the weaknessof the people whoidolize theirmessengers, whycannot this verse be a
reminderfrom the Lord of the universe to preventpeople from puttingtheir messengersintocompetition?
c) We cannot arrange messengersofGodaccording to theirpositionin heaven.We do not have such a task. Do
you know any Quranic commandmentthat orders us to make distinctionamong messengersaccordingto their
righteousness?Canyou show us your hierarchical listof the messengers?
d) If a Christian claims that Jesusis greater than Muhammad according to the Quran, by using verses2:253; 4:171;
3:49; 19:19, 30; how can you oppose thisclaim?
e) Muhammad was a followerofAbraham. Whodo you put on the top of your distinctionlist,the followeror the
leader?
f) Bukhary, whichyou usually preferoverthe Quran, also narrates that Muhammad was not the most honorable
messenger,andbelieversshouldnotmake any distinctionamong messengers.Whydoyou force yourselfto
accept the other narrations that contradict the Quran instead?
QUESTION 13
Was Muhammad Illiterate?
The verse 7:158 statesthat Muhammadwas a gentile: "Soyoushall believe inGodand His messenger,the gentile
(ummy) prophet."
The Arabic word "ummy" describes people whoare not Jewishor Christian.The meaningof thisword,whichoccurs six
timesinthe Quran,has been changedto" one who can neitherread nor write".Thisdeliberate manipulationbyMuslim
scholarshas become widelyacceptedasthe true meaningof the word.Forexample Yusuf Ali,inhistranslation,follows
thispattern:"...So believe inGodand His Apostle,the unlettered Prophet,...".Marmaduke Pickthall'stranslationalso
reflectsthe same manipulation:"...Sobelieve inAllahand His messenger,the prophetwho can neitherread nor
write,..".
The Quran Explains the True Meaning of "Ummy"
Let's examine the true meaningof "ummy" inthe Quran.Anyone caneasily understandthat "ummy" doesnotmeanan
illiteratepersonbyreflectingon the verse 3:20 below:
"Andsay to those who receivedthe scripture, as well as those who did not receive anyscripture (ummyyeen)..."
In thisverse the word"ummy"describesMeccanidol worshipers.Itis obviousthat"ummy"doesnotmeanilliterate
because ithas beenusedas the antonymof the people of the scripture.If the verse was"...And say to those literate and
illiterate",thentheirabove translationof "ummy"wouldbe correct.Accordingtothe verse 3:20 the people of Arab
peninsulaweretwomaingroups:
1. The people ofthe scripture,i.e.,Jewsand Christians.
2. Gentiles,whowere neitherJewishnorChristian.
If the people whowere neitherJewsnorChristianswerecalled"ummyyeen" (3:20; 3:75), thenthe meaningof "ummy"is
veryclear.As a matterof fact,the verse 3:75 clearlyexplainsitsmeaningasgentile.
Mecca wasthe cultural centerof the Arabsin the 7th century.Poetry competitionswere being heldthere.Itisahistorical
fact that Meccans were notfamiliarwiththe Bible,thustheyweregentiles.Sothe verse 62:2 describesMeccanpeople by
the word "ummyyeen":
"He is the One who sent to the gentiles(ummyyeen) amessengerfromamong them,to recite to themHis revelations,
purifythem, and teach them the scripture and wisdom. Before this,they had gone far astray." (62:2)
The Quran doesnot classifythe peopleof Arabpeninsulaasthe literate andthe illiterate,asMuslimscholarsclaim.The
Quran classifiesthe people aspeople of the book(Jews&Christians) andgentiles.The second classificationisthe correct
one,andthe Quransupportsit. The disbelieversclaimedthatMuhammadwasquotingversesfromthe Oldand New
Testaments (25:5; 68:15).
The verse belowrefutestheir accusation and givesthe answer:
"Youdid not read any previousscriptures, nor did you write them with your hand. In that case,the objectorswould
have had reason to harbor doubts." (29:48)
Thisverse tellsusthat Muhammad didnot readnor write previous scriptures.The word"minqablihi=previous" proves
that Muhammadread and wrote the final scripture.
Muhammad was a Literate Gentile (Ummy)
Afterthisexaminationonthe true meaningof the word"ummy",here are the reasonsand proofsforthe fact that
Muhammadwas a literate gentile:
1. ˆ To magnifythe miraculousaspect of the Quran, religiouspeople thought that the story of illiteracywould be
alluring.
2. ˆ The producer of the illiteracystory found it easy to change the meaning of"ummy",which in the entire
Quran, consistentlymeans "gentile" (2:78; 3:20; 3:75; 62:2).
3. ˆ The Arabs of the 7th century were usinglettersas numbers.This alphabetical numberingsystemis called
"Abjed".The merchants of those days had to know the lettersof the alphabetto record theiraccount. If
Muhammad was a successful international merchant,then he most probably knew this numberingsystem.The
Arabs stopped usingthe "Abjed" systeminthe 9th century whenthey took "Arabic numbers" from India.
4. ˆ The Quran's spellingisunique.The mathematical miracle of the Quran, which proves that Quran is the word
of God,confirms the unique spellingof the Quranic words. The differentspellingsofsome wordsare not the
personal preference ofthe scribes.For example,the words "salat", "zakat","hayat" are written with"waw"
insteadof "alif".Inverse 3:96 the name ofMecca isspelledas "Bacca". The word "bastatan" is written with
"seen" throughoutthe Quran, exceptin7:69 where it is writtenwith "saad".
5. ˆ If you write the first verse of the firstrevelationwith Basmalah, you will conclude that Muhammad was
literate.We know that Basmalah has 19 letters,the first revelationi.e.,96:1-5 consistsof 76 (19x4) letters, this
first chronological chapter consists of19 versesand is placedfirst of the last 19 chapters and has 285 (19x15)
letters.(The code 19 will be mentionedinthe next questions).Thisinformationexplainsthe different spelling
of the word "bism" inthe beginningofthe Basmalah and in the first verse ofchapter 96. Youdecide;is it
reasonable for an illiterate to dictate two differentspellingsofthe same word which is pronouncedthe same?
6. ˆ Traditional history books accept that Muhammad dictatedthe Quran and controlledits recording.Even ifwe
accept that Muhammad did not know how to read or write before revelationofthe Quran, we can not claim
that he preservedhisilliteracyduring 23 years while he was dictatingthe Quran.
7. ˆ The first revelationwas "Read," and the first five versesof that revelationencourage reading and writing
(96:1-5). The secondrevelation was "The penand writing" (68:1).
Now, let's ask our questions:
a) As you can see in verse 3:20 and3:75, the Quran uses the word"ummy" as the
antonym of the "ehlil kitab= people of the book". Do you believe that Quran
classifies peopleas literateandilliterate?
b) The Quran describes Meccanpeople withthe word"ummyyeen= gentiles"
(62:2). According to your claim, all Meccanpeople must have been illiterate.
According toyour holy books, who was writing poems in Mecca? Whowas
reading the poems hanging on the walls of the Kaba?
c) Which numbering systemwere the Arabs using inthe 7thcentury? Did those
who were making calculations withthose numbers knowhow to readand write?
d) Is the unique spelling inthe Quran the result of errors andpersonal opinions?
How do you explainthe different spelling of "bism"of the Basmalahand the first
verse of chapter 96?
e) Does God command an illiteratemanto "read"? Could Muhammad readafter
Gabriel's instruction? Does this story not contradict your claimthat Muhammad
diedan illiterate?
f) Let us accept that Muhammad was illiteratebefore the revelationof the Quran.
Why did he insist onstaying illiteratefor 23 years after the first revelation:"Read
!"? Did he not obey his Lord's command? Did he receive another command
forbidding him from reading and writing?
g) Was it so difficult for Muhammad to learnto readand write? If a person still
does not learnto readand write after 23 years of careful dictation of a book,
what do you think about sucha person? Is he stupidor a liar?
h) Was Muhammad encouraging his followers toreadand write? If so, why did he
exclude himself? Howdoyou explainthis strange attitude andverse 2:44?
i) How can an illiterate maninsure the accuracy of a scribe?
j) You are trying to imitate Muhammadfrom his eating tohis attire, from his beard
to his toothbrush;why do you not imitate his illiteracy? Why doyou not follow
his sunnah?
k) You are the people whodisagree on almost every subject;but youagree on the
story of the illiteracy of Muhammad. Howcould you manage this agreement?
QUESTION 14
Who Is The Messenger Of The Covenant?
The Quran in the verse 3:81 clearlystatesthatafterall prophets,God's Messengerof the Covenantwill be senttoconfirm
all scriptures:
Godtook a covenant from the prophets,saying,"AfterI have givenyou the scripture and wisdom,a messengerwill
come to confirm what you have. Youshall believe inhimand support him." He said, "Do you agree with this, and
pledge to upholdthis covenant?" They said,"We agree." He said, "You have thus borne witness,and I am with you a
Witness(3:81).
Verse 3:81 isenoughto understandthatthe prophetMuhammadwasincluded inthatspecial covenantaboutthe coming
of a messengerafterall the prophets.Butinspite of thisclearverse,those whoidolizedthe prophet Muhammadclaim
that Muhammadwas not included.SinceGodknowseverything, andknew thatsome wouldobject,Godspecifically
mentionedMuhammadwith the covenantof the prophetsinthe verse 33:7.Verse 33:7 referstothis covenant:
Recall that we took from the prophetstheir covenant,includinga pledge from you (O Muhammad),and from Noah,
Abraham, Moses,andJesusthe son of Mary. We took from thema solemnpledge (33:7).
The Definition of "Nabi" and "Rasoul"
Verse 3:81 alsoprovidesthe definitionof "Nabi"(Prophet) and"Rasoul"(Messenger).Thus,"Rasoul"isa messenger
commissionedbyGodto confirm existingscripture; he doesnotbringa new scripture unlesshe isa prophet.According
to the Quran, every "Nabi" isa"Rasoul",but notevery "Rasoul"is a "Nabi".The word"Rasoul" ismore general thanthe
word"Nabi".For example the word"Rasoul"isusedforthe messengerof the King of Egyptin verse 12:50, but"Nabi" is
alwaysusedforGod's messengers. Alsothe frequencyof the occurrencesof these twowordsinthe Qurangives a hintof
thisnuance.
Noteverymessengerwasgivenanewscripture.Itisnot logical thatGod will give ascripture to a prophet,thenaskhim
to keepitexclusivelyforhimself,asstatedbysome Muslimscholars(2:42, 146, 159). Those whoare notsufficiently
familiarwiththe Qurantendto thinkthatAaronwas a "Nabi",as statedin 19:53, whodidnot receive ascripture.Bythis
claimtheytry to exchange the meaningof the "nabi" and"rasoul".However,the Quranclearlystatesthatthe Bookwas
givenspecifically"toboth Mosesand Aaron" (21:48; 37:117).
We learnfromthe Quran, 33:40, that Muhammad wasthe last prophet(Nabi), butnotthe lastmessenger(Rasoul):
"Muhammad was not the father ofany of any man among you; he was a messenger(Rasoul) ofGod and the last
prophet (Nabi)." (33:40)
The Common Human Trait
From time immemorial,ithasbeenahumantrait to rejecta contemporary, livingmessengeronthe basisthata previous
messengerwasthe last messenger.Josephwasdeclared "the lastmessenger" (40:34). Yet,many messengerscame after
him,includingMoses,David,JesusandMuhammad.
"Josephhad come to you in the past with clear signs,but you continuedto doubt his message.And whenhe diedyou
said, 'Godwill not sendany messengerafter him.God thus sendsastray those who are transgressors, doubtful."
(40:34)
The versesbefore 3:81 give usthe mostimportantreasonforthe rejection of the Messengerof the Covenantby
"Muslims":
Neverwoulda human beingwhom Godhas blessedwithscripture and prophethoodsay to the people,"Be worshipers
of me besidesGod." Instead, (he wouldsay), "Be devotedto your Lord alone,in accordance withthe scripture you
received,andlearned.Nor would he command you to set up the angelsand the prophets as lords. Wouldhe order you
to disbelieve afterbecomingMuslims?(3:79, 80)
Muslims Idolized Muhammad
1. Today's Muslims,like past generations,fell intothe satanic trap of fabrication, and idolizedMuhammad.
2. They acceptedhim as the source of the religion, whichaccording to Quran is idol worship (6:114; 9:31;
12:40;18:26, 109,110; 41:6; 46:9).
3. They put his name next to the name of God in the "shahadah",and thisis idol worship (39:45; 3:18; 37:35).
4. They addedhisname in the "Adhan" and disobeyedQuran (72:18; 2:285; 3:18).
5. They attributedto himmany namesof God such as Raheem, Raouf, Azeez,Hafeez, Haseeb,Mujeeb,Awwal,
Ahir, Kareem,Hakeem...They put his name right next to God'sname in the mosques.By storiesof intercession,
they acceptedhim as a rescuerfrom God (2:123,254; 6:70,94; 7:53; 10:3,18,49; 13:16; 39:44,45; 43:86; 74:48;
82:17-19).
6. They praisedhis name more than Godby abusing the verse 33:56 (For the correct meaningof 33:56 see the
verse 33:43 and 9:103 which"salla" means "encourage",not"praise").
7. They acceptedhim as sinlessfrom birth till death (18:110; 41:6; 47:19; 48:2; 33:37; 42:52; 93:7). Ironically,
Sunni and Shiite Muhammadans are not aware of their idolatry.They claim that theyare monotheists(6:23).
Mahdi: Satanic Diversion
There isabsolutelynowayaroundthe Quranicprophecyin3:81 that a messengerwill come afterMuhammad.From3:81
and 33:7, we learnthat God's Messengerof the CovenantisnotMuhammad.Why thendowe notsee any trace of this
messengerinthe literature?Howdidsuchan importantprophecy disappear?Since itisimpossibleforSatantoremove
the Quranic prophecy, the devil resortedtoacleverdiversionarytactic.ThroughHadithand otherMuhammadan
literature,Satancreatedanumberof figures suchas the Mahdi, ImamZaman,the reappearance of Jesus,etc.,toreplace
God's Messengerof the Covenant.Satanevenreversedthe definitionsof "Nabi" and"Rasoul".Thus,afterMuhammad's
death,people startedtowaitforthe expectedMahdi,Jesus,and the 12th Imam, insteadof a Messenger.
Satan dupedmillionsof Muslimsintowaitingforanimaginary,non-existentfigure.There are numerouscluesexposing
the gradual developmentof this Satanicplot.Forexample,the earlynarrationscalledthe expectedsavior"Mahdi
Rasoul".Asa secondstep,Satanremovedthe word"Rasoul"and calledthe expectedfigure just"Mahdi."
Distinguishing God's Messengers from Fake Ones
The Quran providesstraightforwardcriteriatodistinguishthe true messengersof Godfromthe false messengers:
1) God'smessengeradvocates the worshipof Godalone and the abolitionofall forms of idol-worship.
2) God'smessengerneverasksfor a wage for himself.
3) God'smessengeris givendivine,incontrovertible proofofhismessengership.
Anyone whoclaimstobe God'smessenger,anddoesnotmeetthe three minimumcriterialistedabove isafalse claimant.
Additionally,God'smessengerissupportedbyGod'sinvisiblesoldiers(3:124-126; 9:26-40; 33:9;37:171-173; 48:4-7;
74:31). God's messengerissupportedbyGod'streasury(63:7-8).God'smessenger,aswell asthe believers,are
guaranteedvictory anddignity,inthisworldandforever(40:51; 58:21).
a) Why do you exclude Muhammad from the covenant which was taken from all the
prophets?
b) What is your proof that the covenant mentionedin 33:7 is a different covenant?
c) Why does God repeat the words "messenger"and"prophet"one right after the
other in 33:40:"Muhammad was a messenger of Godand the last prophet"?
d) Where does Quran state that Muhammad was the last messenger?
e) Why do Christians reject Muhammad? Why did Egyptians reject Moses? Are you
sure that you don't have the same problem?
f) The verse 3:81 whichprophecies the messenger that will come after all the
prophets, alsodefines the difference between"nabi"and "rasoul". Why do you not
accept this definition?
QUESTION 15
Will Jesus Come Back?
For the believerswhoupholdthe Quranalone,the secondcomingof Jesusis asimple storywhichcontradictsthe Quran.
Let's examine the Quranicfacts aboutthisstory:
 Jesuswas a prophet ofGod, and he announcedhis prophethoodas an infant (19:30).
 Muhammad was the messengerofGod and the last prophet.No prophet will come after Muhammad (33:40).
 If we agree on these two points, we will agree on the third. As the logical result of the above facts, the third
fact is: After the last prophetMuhammad, Jesuswill not come back, since Jesus was a prophet.
To claimthat Jesus,inhissecondcoming,will notbe aprophet,is denyingthe versesaboutJesus'prophethood.If Jesus
will come back, he has to believethe Quranicversesthatsay he isa prophet.If he accepted thathe isa prophet,he would
beingdenyingthe finalprophethoodof Muhammad.
Those MuslimswhoadoptedChristianstoriesaboutthe secondcomingof Jesus,triedtomanipulatethe meaningof
several verses,suchas 43:61 and 4:159. For the correct meaningof these versesyoucanlookat "Quran, The Final
Testament" translated by Dr. Rashad Khalifa, IslamicProductions, Tucson, 1989.
a) If Jesus comes back, as you claim, will he accept the Quranic verses that state "Jesus is a
prophet"?
b) If Jesus will come back as a prophet, then how can Muhammad be the last prophet?
c) What is your opinion on a hadith which claims that when Jesus comes, he will make some
unlawful things lawful(Bukhary: 34/102; 46/31). Do you believe in this hadith? What about the
verse 5:3 which states that God has completed the religion by the Quran?
d) How will you recognize Jesus? Will he show the same miracles that he showed before?
e) Which place will be Jesus' airport; the white minaret in Damascus, or Bagdad, or Mecca?
QUESTION 16
What Is The Crucial Age?
What isthe age of responsibility?If achilddiesatthe age of 12, withoutevenhearingaboutGod,doesthischildgoto
Heavenor Hell?Whatif the childis15 yearsold,or 21, or 25? Atwhat age will the human beingbe heldresponsible for
hisor her beliefs?Thisquestionhasalways puzzledresearchersof all religions.
However,the Quransetsthe age of religiousresponsibilityat40; any one whodiesbefore thisage will gotoHeaven:
"We enjoined the human being to honor his parents. His mother bore him arduously, gave birth to him
arduously, and took intimate care of him for thirty months. When he reaches maturity, and reaches the age
of forty, he should say, "My Lord, direct me to appreciate the blessings You have bestowed upon me and
upon my parents, and to work righteousness that pleases You. Let my children be righteous as well. I have
repented to You; I am now a submitter."(46:15)
If the personbelievedinGodand benefitedfrombelief bynourishinghis orhersoul,he or she goesto the HighHeaven.
Otherwise,the persongoes tothe LowerHeaven.
Your firstreactionto thispiece of informationisobjection:"Whatif the personwasreallybad,evil,andanatheist,will he
go to Heavenif he diedbefore the age of 40?" This isbecause youare mean,while Godisthe Most Merciful.Our
tendencyisto"put theminHell".
People whoobjectedstronglytothisDivinemercycannot come upwitha cut-off age of responsibility.Theyaskquestions
like,"Whatif the person wasreallywicked?"The answeris,"DoesGodknow thatthispersonwas wicked?""Yes.""Does
God knowthat thispersondoesnotdeserve togoto Heaven?""Yes.""Therefore thispersonwill notdie before the age of
40." Assimple asthat. God isthe onlyone who terminatesourlives.He knows exactlywhodeservestogoto Heavenand
whodeservestogoto Hell.
a) What is the age of responsibility according toyour sect?
b) If a sixteenyear oldchilddies as a Christian, does he or she go to Hell?
c) Why do you not accept the Quranic decree about the age of responsibility?
QUESTION 17
How Do You Pronounce "Shahadah"?
All God's messengers deliveredthe same message:"Youshall notworship anybodybutGod."Throughoutthe Quran,the
mostimportantsubjectis worshipingGodalone.More thana hundred timesQuranrepeatsthistheme. "Laelaahaellaa
Allah"and"La elaahaellaHu" (Nogodexcept He) occur in the Quran more than thirtytimes.Nowhere inthe Qurancan
youfindany othernamesattachedto thisimportantphrase.
The Quran statesthe firstpillarof submission:
"Godbears witnessthat there isno other god besidesHim,and so do the angels and those who possessknowledge."
(3:18)
Thismost crucial pillarhasbeendistorted.Millionsof MuslimshaveadoptedSatan'spolytheisticversion,andinsistupon
mentioningthe nameofMuhammadbesidesthe name of God.However,the Quran'sgreatcriterionin 39:45 exposessuch
people asdisbelievers:
"WhenGodALONE is mentioned,the heartsof those who do not believe inthe Hereaftershrink withaversion. But
whenothers are mentionedbesidesHim, theyrejoice." (39:45)
a) Why do you feel the needto add the name of Muhammad when you announce the
oneness of God?
b) Why whenever the Quranmentions the oneness of God, it never mentions any name
besides "God";not evenonce!?
c) The Quran entails Muhammadand other messengers. Thenwhy do you not say that
"There is no god except the One God, and the Quran is His book"?
d) How many times did you say that "There is no god except the One God, and Moses (or
Salih, or Jesus ...) is His messenger"? Why doyou make distinctionamong messengers?
e) Did Jesus remove the name of Moses from"shahadah" and put his name next toGod?
Did Muhammad remove the name of Jesus from "shahadah" and put his name next to
God? Do you think that all messengers triedtocorrect the "shahadah"in this way?
Why do we not see any discussiononchanging the secondhalf of your shahadah in the
Quran?
f) Is Muhammad other than God or not? If he is other than God, why do you not think
that you are addressedby 39:45?
g) Do you think that idol worshipers accept the fact that they are idol worshipers? Why do
you not reflect on6:23?
h) Books which are a mixture of truthand falsehoodsometimes expose the truth. For
instance, according toa hadith in Tirmizi, Salat 26 and Nasai, Adhan4, the prophet
taught the Adhan as 19 words. But in your Adhan you have 24 words. Why do you
contradict your own teachings? If you remove your additioni.e. "Ashadu anna
Muhammadan Rasul Allah"from Adhan, the remaining words are 19. Is this a
coincidence?
QUESTION 18
What About Religious Practices?
Contact prayersare decreedat specifictimes(4:104).The DawnPrayer(24:58), the NoonPrayer(17:78), the Afternoon
Prayer(2:238), the SunsetPrayer(11:114),and the NightPrayer(24:58) ismentionedspecificallyin the Quran.
Islamisnot a name.It isa description,whichmeansSubmission.Islamis called"The Religionof Abraham"throughoutthe
Quran (2:130,135; 3:95; 4:125; 6:161; 12:37-38; 16:123; 21:73; 22:78). AndMuhammad was a followerofAbraham
(16:123).
Due to a general unawarenessof the fact that Abrahamwasthe original messengerof Submission,manyso-called
Muslimschallenge God:"If the Quraniscomplete andfullydetailed(asclaimedbyGod),where canwe find the number
of unitsineachcontact prayer (Salat)?"Onthe otherhand,God tellsusthatall the religiouspracticesof Submissionwere
already establishedbefore the Quran'srevelation(8:35; 9:54; 16:123; 21:73; 22:27; 28:27). All the messengersafter
Abrahampracticedfive daily contactprayers,obligatorycharity,andfasting(2:43;3:43; 11:87; 19:31,59; 20:14). The
Meccan idol worshipers usedtobelievethattheywere followersof Abraham.Sotheywere practicingthe contact
prayers,fasting, andpilgrimage (2:183,99; 8:35; 9:54; 107:4-6). Duringthe time of the prophetMuhammadpeople knew
the meaningof "Salat","Zakat", "Sawm",and "Hac".
God sentthe Quran withtheirlanguage.Goddoesnotcommandpeople with newbornwordstodosomething (16:103;
26:195). If God wantsto command somethingthatpeople are notfamiliarwith,He explainsitinHisfully detailedbook.
Moreover,If God wantsto add a newmeaningtoa knownword, informsus.( Forinstance,the Arabicword "el-din"in 1:4
isexplainedin(82:15-19).
Verse 16:123 isdirectproof that all religiouspracticesinIslamwere intactwhenMuhammadwasborn.Thus, he was
enjoinedto"followthe religionof Abraham."If Iask youto buy a color TV,it isassumedthat you know whata colorTV is.
Similarly,whenGodenjoinedMuhammadto follow the practicesof Abraham (16:123), such practicesmusthave been
well known.
There isno dispute concerningthe numberof unitsinall five daily prayers.Thisprovesthe divinepreservationof Salat.
The Quran's mathematical code confirmsthe numberof unitsinthe five prayers2, 4, 4, 3, and 4 respectively.For
example,the number24434 is a multiple of 19.
The Quran dealsonlywithpracticesthatwere distorted.Forexample,the distortedablutionisrestoredin5:6 to its
original foursteps.The tone of voice duringthe contactprayerswas distorted,andthiswascorrected inthe Quran,
17:110. The fastingduringRamadanwasmodifiedin2:187 to allow intercourse duringthe night.Zakat,the obligatory
charity,is restoredin6:141, andHajj isrestoredto the correct monthsin9:2,5.
a) Did Muhammad followthe religionofAbraham? Did Abraham practice contact prayers, fasting,charity and
pilgrimage?Whatis your proof that Abraham practiced those ritualsdifferentlythanMuhammad?
b) Did not Moses,Salih,Jesus observe the Salat?
c) Whydo you distortthe meaningof 8:35? "Theircontact prayers (Salat) at the shrine (Kabah) were no more
than a mockery and a meansof repelling others..." Whydoyou claim that Meccan idol worshiperswere not
familiarwith the contact prayers, fasting,pilgrimage,etc.?(9:54; 2:199).
d) According to God how many stepsare requiredforablution?What about Hanafiy, Shafiiyand other sects?
e) Whichone nullifiesablution;bleedingortouchinga woman'shand? Whatdoes Quran states on this subject?
f) Whydo you disobey17:110 by recitingQuran silentlyindailycontact prayers?
g) Whydo you mentionMuhammad'sname in the contact prayers? Whydo you not obey20:14 and 72:18?
h) Whydo you delaythe charity by stating that one is not requiredto give charity ifhe did not holdhis savings
one full year?Why do you disobey God'scommand in6:141?
i) Whydo you cramp millionsofpilgrimsin one day, while Godhas givenus four months for this duty? (2:197)
j) Quran condemnsidol worshiperswho change the sacred months(9:37), which are consecutive (9:2,5). Whydo
you distort the Sacred Months?
k) Whydo you decree a punishmentof60 straight days of fastingfor one
l) nullifieddayof fasting?(2:184).
QUESTION 19
Can You See The Mathematical Miracle?
"Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe" (Galileo)
Chapter74 of the Quran,God's Final Testament,isdedicatedtothe number 19.The name of that chapter is"Al-
Muddassir"(The HiddenSecret).The number19is specificallymentionedinthatChapterasa punishmentfor those who
state that the scripture ishuman-made (74:25),and proclaims thatthe 19 is"One of the greatest"(74:35). In 74:31, the
purpose of the number19 isspelledout:toremove all doubtregardingthe authenticityof the Quran,increase the faith
of the believers,andtobe a scientificpunishmentforhypocritesanddisbelievers.However,the implicationof this
numberas a proof for the authenticityof the Quranremainedunknown forcenturies.Forfourteencenturies,the
commentatorstriedinvainto understandthe functionandfulfilmentof the number19.
In 1974, the Lord of the universe unveiled the secretof number19 to Dr. RashadKhalifa,anEgyptian-American
biochemist.Hisfour-yearlongcomputerizedstudyonthe Qurandidnot have any expectedtarget. Surprisingly,he
discoveredthe mathematicallyintertwinedstructure by "chance."Thismultifoldinterlockedmathematical design isa
message in universal language.Thismessage,providing abuilt-inphysical evidence of itsdivine source,leavesnodoubtin
our heartthat the Quran is The Final Testament.
Before the Secret is Decoded
Before the discoveryof 19-basedsystem,we knew asymmetrical mathematical systeminthe Quran.Forexample:
a) © The word "month" (shahr) occurs 12 times.
b) © The word "day" (yawm) occurs 365 times.
c) © The word "days" (ayyam,yewmeyn) occurs30 times.
d) © The words "satan" (shaytan) and "angel" (malak),both occur 88 times.
e) © The words "this world" (dunya) and "hereafter" (ahirah),bothoccur 115 times.
Simple to Understand, Impossible to Imitate
The mathematical structure of the Final Testamentissimple tounderstand andimpossibletoimitate.Youdonot needto
knowArabic,the original language of the Quranto examine itforyourself.Basicallywhatyouneed istobe able to count
upto19. Dr. Khalifaintroducesthissupernatural message asfollows:
The Quran is characterizedbya unique phenomenonneverfoundinanyhuman authoredbook.Everyelementof the
Quran ismathematicallycomposed-thechapters,the verses,the words,the number of certainletters,the number of
wordsfromthe same root,the numberandvarietyof divine names,the unique spellingof certainwords,andmanyother
elementsof the Quranbesidesitscontent.There are twomajorfacetsof the Quran'smathematical system:
(1) The mathematical literarycomposition,and
(2) The mathematical structure involvingthe numbersof chapters and verses.Because of this comprehensive
mathematical coding,the slightestdistortionof the Quran's text or physical arrangementis immediatelyexposed
(Quran The Final Testament, Translated by Rashad Khalifa, IslamicProductions, Tucson, 1989, p 609).
Nineteen,asthe mathematical code of the Quran, isa challenge foratheists, an invitationfor agnostics and a guidance
for believers.Itis a perpetual miracle for the computer generation. It is the lightof the morningpromisedby God
Almighty(74:33).
Physical, Examinable Divine Proof
Here is the summaryof thishistorical discovery:
(1) © The first verse,i.e.,the openingstatement"Bismillahirrahmanirrahim", shortly"Basmalah," consistsof19
Arabic letters.
(2) © The first word of Basmalah, Ism (name) occurs in the Quran 19 times.
(3) © The second word of Basmalah, Allah (God) occurs 2698 times,or 19x142.
(4) © The third word ofBasmalah, Rahman (Gracious) occurs 57 times,or 19x3.
(5) © The fourth word ofBasmalah, Rahim (Merciful) occurs114 times,or 19x6.
Althoughthisphenomenon(theopeningstatementconsistsof 19 letters,and eachwordoccurs in multiple of 19)
representsaminute portionof the code,itwasdescribedbyMartinGardner inthe ScientificAmericanas "ingenious"
(September,1981, p. 22-24)
(1) © The multiplicationfactors of the words of the Basmalah (1+142+3+6) add up to 152 or 19x8.
(2) © The Quran consistsof 114 chapters, whichis 19x6.
(3) © The total numberof versesin the Quran includingall Basmalahs is 6346, or 19x334. If you add the digitsof that
number,6+3+4+6 equals19.
(4) © The Basmalah occurs 114 times,(despite itsconspicuousabsence from chapter 9, it occurs twice inchapter 27)
and 114 is 19x6.
(5) © From the missingBasmalah of chapter 9 to the extra Basmalah of chapter 27, there are precisely19 chapters.
(6) © It followsthat the sum of the chapter numbersfrom 9 to 27 (9+10+11+12.......+26+27) is 342. This total (342)
also equalsthe numberof words betweenthe two Basmalahs of chapter 27, and 342 equals19x18.
(7) © The occurrence of the extraBasmalah is in 27:30. The number of the chapter and the verse add up to 57, or
19x3.
(8) © Each letterof the Arabic alphabet correspondsto a numberaccording to theiroriginal sequence inthe alphabet.
The Arabs were using this systemfor calculations. Whenthe Quran was revealed14 centuriesago, the numbers
known today did not exist.A universal system was usedwhere the lettersof the Arabic, Hebrew,Aramaic, and
Greekalphabetswere used as numerals.The number assignedto each letteris its "Gematrical Value." The
numerical valuesof the Arabic alphabet are shown below:
A studyon the gematrical valuesof about 200 attributesof Godwhichare mentionedinthe Quran,showsthatonlyfour
nameshave gematrical values whichare multiplesof 19. These are "Wahid"(One),"Zul Fadl al Azim" (Possessorof Infinite
Grace),"Majid" (Glorous),"Jaami"(Summoner).Their gematrical valueare 19 , 2698, 57, and 114 respectively,whichare
all divisible by19 and correspondexactlytothe frequenciesof occurrence of the Basmalah'sfourwords.
1. © The total numbersof verseswhere the word Allah(God) occurs add up to 118123, and is 19x6217.
2. © The total occurrencesof the word Allah(God) in all the verseswhose numbers are multiplesof19 is 133, or
19x7.
3. © The first revelation(96:1-5) consists of 19 words.
4. © This19-worded first revelationconsistsof 76 letters,19x4.
5. © Chapter96, first in the chronological sequence,consistsof19 verses.
6. © Thisfirst chronological chapter isplaced ahead of the last 19 chapters.
7. © Chapter96 consistsof 304 Arabic letters,19x16.
8. © The last revelation,chapter110, consists of 19 verses.
9. © The first verse of the last revelationconsistsof 19 letters.
10. © The word "the Quran" occurs 57 times,or 19x3. (The word in 10:15 isa differentQuran,so it is not counted)
11. © The key commandment: "Youshall devote your worship to God alone" (in Arabic "Wahdahu") occurs in7:70;
39:45; 40:12,84; and 60:4. The total of these numbersadds up to 361, or 19x19.
12. © The Quran is characterizedby a unique phenomenonthat isnot foundin any other book: 29 chapters are
prefixedwith"Quranic Initials" which remainedmysteriousfor 1406 years. Withthe discoveryof the code 19 ,
we realizedtheirmajor role in the Quran's mathematical structure. The initialsoccur intheir respective
chapters in multiplesof19. For example,Chapter19 has five lettersinits beginning,K.H.Y.A'.SS.,and the total
occurrence ofthese lettersin this chapter is 798, or 19x42.
13. © To witnessthe detailsofthe miracle of these initials,a short chapter which beginswithone initial,letter"Q"
will be a good example.The frequencyof "Q" in chapter 50 is 57, or 19x3. The letter"Q" occurs in the other Q-
initialedchapter,i.e.,chapter 42, exactly the same number of times,57. The total occurrence of the letter"Q"
in the two Q-initialedchaptersis114, whichequals the number of chapters inthe Quran. "The Quran" is
mentionedinthe Quran 57 times. The descriptionof the Quran as "Majid" (Glorious) iscorrelatedwiththe
frequencyof occurrence of the letter"Q" in each of the Q-initialedchapters.The word "Majid" has a gematrical
value of 57. Chapter 42 consists of 53 verses,and 42+53 is 95, or 19x5. Chapter50 consistsof 45 verses,and
50+45 is 95, or 19x5. The numberof Q's inall ver-sesnumbered"19" throughout the Quran is76, or 19x4.
14. © The Quran mentions30 differentnumbers:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 19, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 99,
100, 200, 300, 1000, 2000, 3000, 5000, 50000, & 100000. The sum of these numbersis 162146, which equals
19x8534.
15. © Ifwe write down the number of eachverse inthe Quran, one nextto the other, precededbythe number of
versesin each chapter, the resultinglong numberconsists of 12692 digits(19x668). Additionally, the huge
numberitselfis also a multiple of19.
The detailsof thisstudyisendless.Keepingupwiththe new discoveries isachallengingtask.
In the Original of The Old Testament
Is thismathematical structure uniquetothe Quran?For a while we thougtso.But,we were wrong.The same 19-based
mathematical compositionwas discoveredbyRabbi Judahinthe 12th centuryAD ina preservedpartof the Old
Testament.Evidently,the primenumber19is the signiture of God,the GreatestMatematician.
Belowis the copyfrom StudiesInJewishMysticism:
"The people (Jews) inFrance made ita customto add (inthe morn ing prayer) the words: Ashrei temimei derekh
(blessedare those whowalkthe righteousway), andourRabbi,the Pious,of blessedmemory,wrote thattheywere
completelyandutterlywrong.Itisall grossfalsehood,be cause there are onlynineteentimesthatthe HolyName is
mentioned(inthat portionof the morningprayer),... and similarlyyoufindthe word Elohimnineteentimesinthe peri
cope of Ve- ellehshemot... .
Similarly,youfindthatIsrael were called sons nineteentimes,and there are manyotherexamples.Allthese setsof
nineteenare intricately intertwined,andtheycontainmanysecretsandesotericmeanings,which are containedinmore
than eightvolumes.Therefore,anyone whohasthe fearof God in himwill notlistentothe wordsof the Frenchmenwho
add the verse Ashrei temimeiderekh(blessedare those whowalkinthe paths of God s Torah, for accordingto their
additionsthe HolyName ismentioned twentytimes... and thisisa great mistake.Furthermore,inthis sectionthereare
152 words,butif you add Ashrei temimeiderekh there are 158 words.Thisisnonsense,foritisa great and hidden
secretwhythere shouldbe 152 words. . ." (Dan,Joseph.StudiesInJewishMysticism, AssociationforJewishStudies.
Cambridge,Massachusetts:1978, p 88.)
How can we Explain This Phenomenon?
There are primarilyfourpossible explanations:
o Manipulation:You may be skeptical about our data regarding the mathematical structure of Quran.
However,you can eliminate thisoptionin several hours by random checking ofour detailedcomputer
print out. We have publishedtheminseveral books and they can be obtainedfrom the Monotheist
Production International.
o Coincidence:Thispossibilityiseliminatedbythe statistical probabilitylaws. The consistencyand
frequencyof the 19-based pattern is much too overwhelmingtooccur coincidentally.
o Human fabrication:While fabricatinga literarywork that meetsthe criteria of the document
summarizedhere is a stunningchallenge forourcomputer generation,it iscertainly improbable for the
time of initiationof the document, namely,610 AD. One more fact augments the improbabilityof
human fabrication. If a certain personor personshad fabricated this literarywork, theywould want to
reap the fruitsof their efforts;they would have braggedabout it.
In viewof the originality,complexity,andmathematical sophisticationof thiswork,we have toadmitthat it isingenious.
However,noone hasever claimedcreditforthisunique literarycode;the code wasneverknown priortothe computer
decodingaccomplishedbyDr.Khalifa.Therefore itis reasonabletoexclude the possibilityof humanfabrication.
The timingof the discoverymaybe consideredanotherevidence forthe existence andfull control of SupremeBeing:The
mysteryof the number19 whichismentionedas"one of the greatestevents"inthe chapter74 (The HiddenSecret) was
unveiledexactly1406 (19x74) lunaryearsafterthe revelationof the Quran.Dr. Khalifadiscoveredthe code 19 in1974.
The connectionbetween19 and74 (the numberof the chapterwhichthiscode is mentioned) issignificantinthe timing
of the discovery.
 Super IntelligentSource:The only remainingpossibilityisthat a super intelligentsource isresponsible for
this document;one who designedthe work in thisextraordinary manner, thenmanaged to keepit a well
guarded secretfor 14 centuries, for a predeterminedtime.
The mathematical code ensuresthatthe source issuperintelligentandalso thatthe documentisperfectlyintact.
It is not a Dream Anymore
The followingexcerptsare fromthe famousastronomerandscience-fictionwriterCarl Sagan'sbook:
"No,don't you see?Thiswould be different.Thisisn'tjust starting the universe out with some precise mathematical
laws that determine physicsand chemistry. This isa message.Whoevermakesthe universe hidesmessagesin
transcendental numbersso they'll be read fifteenbillionyearslaterwhen intelligentlife finallyevolves.Icriticizedyou
and Rankin the time we first met for not understandingthis.'If Godwanted us to know that he existed,why didn'the
sendus an unambiguousmessage?' Iasked. Remember?"
"I rememberverywell.You thinkGod is a mathematician."
"Somethinglike that. If what we're told istrue. If this isn'ta wild-goose chase.If there'sa message hidingin pi and not
one of the infinityofother transcendental numbers.That's a lot of ifs."
"You're lookingforRevelationin arithmetic.I know a betterway."
"Palmer,thisis the only way. This is the only thing that would convince a skeptic. Imagine we findsomething.It
doesn'thave to be tremendously complicated.Just somethingmore orderly than could accumulate by chance that
many digits intopi. That's all we need.Thenmathematiciansall over the world can findexactly the same pattern or
message or whatever it provesto be.Then there are no sectarian divisions.Everybodybeginsreadingthe same
Scripture. Noone could thenargue that the key miracle in the religionwas some conjurer'strick, or that later
historianshad falsifiedthe record,or that it'sjust hysteria or delusionor a substitute parent for when we grow up.
Everyone could be a believer." (Carl Sagan,Contact, Simon & Schuster,New York,1985, p 418-419)
Eerily,almosteverythingexactlyhasbeenhappeningaccordingtoCarl Sagan's predictionwithanexceptionthatthe code
of the divine messageisnotpi,itisa peculiarprime number.Alsothe laststatementseemstobe toooptimistic,atleast
for the time being.Alreadymillionsof Muslims have rejectedthe mathematical code basedonthe presuppositionthat
the Creator of the universe won'temploymathematicsinhisbook.And born-againChristiansare readytocoin itas Anti
Christ.
However,thismathematicallycodedmessagepromisesanew erainthe world of religions.Itdoesnotonlyprovidean
examinableevidence forthe existenceof God, italsoexpose the widespreadcorruptionplaguedall the organized
religions.Thismathematical code suggests(asitispublishedin ournumerousbooks) a"Copernicanrevolution"in
theologyof religions.
Instead ofKrishna-centered,orJesus-centered,orMuhammad-centeredreligionswe mustturn to the original center,
to the God-centeredmodel.
They Cannot see the Miracle
The "learnedMuslimscholars"cannotunderstandoracceptthisclear mathematical composition.Indeed,the verse74:31
propheciesthat hypocriteswill notbe able tounderstandthismiracle.Alsothe verse 7:146 describesthose peoplewho
are deprivedof seeingthe miracle:
I will divert from My revelationsthose who are arrogant on earth, without justification.Consequently,whentheysee
everykind of miracle they will not believe.Andwhentheysee the path of guidance theywill not adopt it as theirpath,
but when theysee the path of straying they will adopt it as theirpath. This is the consequence oftheirrejectingour
revelations, andof beingtotally heedlessthereof.(7:146)
 Are all ofthose mathematical facts coincidences?
 How many lettersare there in the openingstatementofthe Quran i.e., Basmalah? Whydo
your ancient scholars (FahreddinerRazi, Qurtubi etc.) who countedthe lettersof Basmalah
agree on 19 letters?Whyafter the discoveryof the miracle do you refute your respected
ancient scholars?
 786 isthe gematrical value of Basmalah usedby Muslimsto representthe Basmalah. How
many lettersdoes this famous number represent?
 Whydo you fail in countingthe 19 lettersof Basmalah whichis a very simple and very
obviousphysical fact?
 AlmightyGod in74:31 givesus a list of functionsof the number "19". This iswhat "19" will
do:

  • 3. QUESTION 1 Which Hadith Do You Believe Besides The Quran? (45:6)  "The Prophet neverurinatedin standing position" (Hanbel 6/136,192,213).  "The prophet urinatedin standing position" (Bukhary4/60,62).  "A groupfromthe Ureynehand Uqaylehtribescame to the prophet and the prophet advisedthem to drink urine of camels. Later on, whenthey killedthe prophet'sshepherd,the prophetseizedthem,gougedout their eyes,cut their hands and legs,and leftthem thirsty in the desert" (Bukhary 56/152,Hanbel 3/107,163).  "Moseswas scared by the angel of death, thus Moses slappedhimand blindedone ofhis eyes"."Iam the most honourable messenger,onthe day of the judgmentonlyI will think of my people" (Bukhary97/36).  "Do not make any distinctionamong the messengers;Iam not evenbetterthan Jonah" (Bukhary 65/4,5; Hanbel 1/205,242,440).  "Bad luck is in the woman, the horse,and the home" (Bukhary 76/53).  "Ifamonkey, a black dog or a woman passesin front of a praying person, his prayer is nullified." (Bukhary 8/102; Hanbel 4/86).  "The prophet gave permissiontokill childrenand womenin war" (Bukhari, Jihad/146; Ebu Davud 113).  "The earth is carried on a giant bull;when it shakesits head an earthquake occurs" (Ibni Kathir 2/29; 50/1).  "Leadershave to be from the Quraish tribe" (Bukhary 3/129,183; 4/121; 86/31).  "Youshall kill all black dogs; because theyare devils" (Hanbel 4/85; 5/54).  "Godis the time" (Muwatta 56/3).  "To prove His identity,Godopenedhislegsand showedthe prophet His thigh." (Bukhary 97/24, 10/129 and the commenton the Sura 68.)  "The parchment that the verse about stoningto deathfor adultery was written on was eaten and abrogated by a goat." (Ibni Majah 36/1944; Ibni Hanbal 3/61; 5/131,132,183; 6/269).  "A tribe of monkeysarrested an adulterousmonkey and stonedit to death,and I helpedthem" (Bukhary 63/27).  "Whenthe prophetdiedhis armor had beenpawned to a Jew for several poundsof barley." (Bukhari 34/14,33,88; Hanbal 1/ 300;6/42,160,230).  "The punishmentfor cutting the fingersofa woman is to pay her: 10 camels for one finger,20 camels for two fingers,30 camelsfor three fingers,and 20 (twenty) camelsfor four fingers" (Hanbel 2/182; Muvatta 43/11).  "The prophet had beenbewitchedby a Jew,and for several days he didnot know what he was doing" (Bukhari 59/11; 76/47; Hanbel 6/57; 4/367).  "Muhammad possessedsexual powerof30 men" (Bukhary). "Do not eat and drinkwith your lefthand, because Satan eats and drinks with the left hand" (Hanbel 2/8,33).  "The prophet said:'Donot write anything from me exceptthe Quran. Whoeverwrote,must destroyit" (Muslim,Zuhd72; Hanbel 3/12,21,39).  "The prophet orderedAmr Ibn As to write everythingthat he speaks" (Hanbel 2/162).  "Omar said: Quran isenough for us,do not write anything from the prophet" (Bukhary, Jihad 176, Gizya6, Ilim 49, Marza 17, Megazi 83, Itisam 26; Muslim,Vasiyya 20,21,22). (Ifyou want to check the referencespresentedabove,please note that, after the name of each hadith collectionthe first numberis the numberof the book (chapter),and secondnumber is the number of hadith.For instance,152nd hadith in the 56th book ofBukhary is expressedas:Bukhary 56/152. In fewreferences,however,we gave the name of the book (chapter), insteadof its number,such as: Bukhary, Jihad 176).
  • 4. These are only a minute sample of hadithswhich Muslimscholars accept as theirsecondreligioussource and they accuse the people whodo not accept these teachings of beingdivertedfromthe truth. The above hadithsare their truth. Now let'ssee what is the Quranic truth.  Quran, the whole Quran, and nothingbut Quran. Godrevealedthe Quran to Muhammad, His messengerand last prophet (27:6).  The onlybook that the messengerdeliveredtothe world is the Quran (6:19).  The sole missionof the messengeristo deliverthe message (16:35).  We must obeyGod'smessengers(3:31-32; 24:56).  Anyone who disobeysGodand His messengerisa disbeliever(72:23).  We have beencommandedto followthe Quran alone (7:2-3; 17:46).  The Quran contains everythingthat we needfor guidance (16:89).  Goddid not leave anything out of the Quran (6:38).  Wisdom(hikmah) is inGod'sQuran; not necessarily inmen'shadith (17:39; 36:2).  Anythingthat is not commandedin the Quran, God leftit up to our minds and intelligence todecide (5:101).  The ProphetAbraham was the founderof Islam and a goodexample for us (22:78; 2:135; 60:4).  Muhammad was the followerofAbraham (3:68; 16:123).  All religiouspractices; dailyprayers, obligatory charity, fasting,and pilgrimage come through Abraham (21:73; 2:43,127-128; 2:183; 3:43; 19:31-59; 20:14).  We shouldnot followany hadith besidesthe Quran as the source of God'sreligion(45:6).  There are those who use vain hadith to misleadpeople, withoutknowledge (31:6).  We do not needfabricated hadith,because the Quran isfullydetailed(12:111).  The besthadith is the Quran (39:23).  The onlysunnah (law) isGod'ssunnah (33:38,62; 35:43).  Those who decree religiouslawsneverauthorizedby God,and theirfollowers,are idol worshipers(42:21).  The Quran is fullydetailed,not vague (30:28; 41:3).  Quran has beenexplainedanddetailedbyGod Himself(11:1; 75:19).  Godis the teacher ofthe Quran (55:1).  The Quran is easy to understand for believers;while itisimpossible foridol worshipers(54:17,22,32,40; 17:46; 18:57).  The ProphetMuhammad, as a good example,didnot accept and followany other source besidesthe Quran (5:48-49; 6:114; 10:15).  Godguaranteed the preservationofthe Quran, not the hadith (15:9; 36:69; 38:87; 41:42; 43:4; 56:78).  God'sword is perfect(6:115).  Those who followconjecture are diverted(6:112).  Goddoes not forget(19:64).  Goddoes not run out of words (18:109).  Those who are not certain about the hereafter, are not satisfiedwiththe Quran, they want to amend it with other books  (10:15).  Those who divide theirreligionintosects are not followersof Muhammad (6:159).  The complaintof the messengerinthe hereafterwill be about the desertionofthe Quran, not hadith (25:30).
  • 5. The Same Mistake The Jewshad receivedthe Torah whichwascomplete andfullydetailedlike the Quran(6:154; 7:145). However,theywere notsatisfiedwiththe wordof God,andaskedirrelevantquestions.Whentheycouldnotfind answersto theirpettyquestions,theystartedtoinvent.Thissatanicattitude led themtoproduce Mishnah(oral) and Gemarah (traditions). Justlike the Jews,the Muslimsfabricatedmanyliesandattributedthemto the prophet.Itissignificantthattheycalled theirfabrications Hadith(oral) and Sunna (traditions), similartoJews.The ignorantpeople asked manyirrelevantand absurdquestionswhichhave beencriticizedinthe Quran(2:67-70; 5:101).  For instance,which hand shall we use while eating?  Whichside shall we lay while sleeping?  Whichfoot shall we enterwith into the bathroom?  Whichhand shall we start to wash for ablution?  How long shall we grow our beards?  Whichsequence shall we followwhen we cut our nails?  Whichvegetablesare most holy? These foolishquestionsencouraged manyhypocritestofabricate hadithsandattribute themtothe prophet (6:112-116). It issignificantthatthe mostreliable books,forinstance thatof Bukhary,waswrittenat leasttwocenturiesafterthe prophetdied. The Quranic Prophecy About 'Hadith' and 'Sunnah'  The Quran prophesiedthat enemiesofthe prophet Muhammad would fabricate liesand attribute them to him(6:112-116). The Quran hasnamedthese fabrications"hadith"whilenamingthe Quran "ahsanal hadith" (besthadith)(39:23). Obviously,Godknewthatthe idol worshiperswouldcall those fabrications "Hadith".Itisinterestingthattheydidnotcall theirlies "Aqwal = sayings","Akhbar = narrations", "Hikam = Aphorisms",or any otherwordfromthe richArabic language.Theyunwittinglytermedtheir inventions"Hadith". This Is A Fulfillment Of The Quranic Projection: "Thisis not a fabricatedHadith. It is a confirmationof previous scriptures,detailingeverything,anda guide and mercy for those who believe." (12:111) Theyclaimthat the Quran isnot fullydetailed!!TheythusrejectGod's repeatedassertionthatthe Quran is "Complete, Perfect,and FullyDetailed" (6:19,38,114), andjustifythe creationof 60 volumesof Hadith, andthousandsof nonsensical teachingsthatare supposedtocomplete the Quran.Byreflectingon (12:111) above,one can see God's answertothose fabrications. God informsusthat we do notneedfabricatedhadith;thatthe Quranis all we need.AlmightyGodrejectsboth "Hadith" and the basicexcuse foracceptingitas a source of Islam.Noexcuse isacceptedfromthe followers of hadithinthisworld, nor on the Day of Judgment.
  • 6. God asks them: In which hadith, besides God and His revelations do they believe? (45:6) They reply:"We believe inBukhary,Muslim,Tirmizy, Ibn Hanbal, Kafi, Nahjul Balaga, and more besidesGod's revelations." God challenges the idol worshipers: "Let them produce a hadith' like this, if they are truthful." (52:34) As a response,theyslanderthe prophetinone of theirholyhadith books(AbuDawood): "The prophet, peace be upon him, said,'I was giventhe Quran and a hadith like it'." According to the Quran, there isonly one valid sunna (law):God'slaw (Sunnatullah) (33:38,62; 35:43; 40:85; 48:23). Unlimitedhadithbooksbesidesthe Quran Inboth Sunni andShiahsects the exactnumberof acceptedhadithbooksis not known.However, Sunnisgenerallyagree onsix hadithbookswhichare called"Kutubi Sitteh" (SixBooks). These are Bukhary, Muslim,Tirmizy, Ibni Majah, Nesaiyand Abu Dawud. Additionally,theyrespectMuwatta,Darimy and Ibn Hanbal. Muslimscholarsinmany casespreferredBukharyto the Quran.So much so thatHanafi scholarsclaimedpublicly that hadithcan abrogate Quranicverses. Forexample,accordingtothem,2:180 and 4:24 have beeninvalidatedby hadith.Infact, all othersectsalsodo not accept the judgementof these versesbuttheyare notso frank.  What is your opinion on the hadiths I presented in the beginning? How many of them are correct?  How many centuries after the prophet's death was your most holy hadith book, Bukhary, written?  In how many correct hadiths do you believe?  If hadith is one of the most important sources of Islam, then why did not God preserve it like the Quran?  In which hadith do you believe besides words of God?  Why does not Bukhary narrate a single hadith through Abu Hanifah, but narrates from Marwan b. Hakam, a notorious murderer and drunkard who destroyed the original copy of the Quran?  Is the Quran perfect, clear, complete, and fully detailed?  Is the Quran easy or difficult to understand?  Why do you change the place of the word "alone" in 17:46: "... and when you preach your Lord, using the Quran alone, they run away in aversion"?
  • 7. QUESTION 2 Do These Verses Require Us To Follow a Mishmash of Narrations? Distortingthe meaningof the Quranicverses,takingthemoutof context, claimingthatsome versesabrogate othersare some of the tacticsusedby the followersof HadithandSunna.Monarchistictheocratical kingdomsuse the ulamato divert"Muslim"masses.The fabricatedsatanicteachingshave transformedthe religionof Godintoa mishmashliturgy and a ritual torture.Here,God willing,we willexpose theirtrue colorsbyevaluating some versesmostoftenabusedby them. A good example has beensetfor you by the messengerofGod (33:21). The falsifiershave presentedmedieval Arabculture andtraditionsasgood examplesof the messenger.However,if you lookat the context,the good example hasbeendescribedasthe messenger'scourage and hisconstantremembrance of God. Theyextendedthisgoodexample toirrelevant individualorcultural behaviors.Forinstance,theysanctifiedthe beardand turban,ignoringthe factthat the Meccan idol worshipers,suchas Abu Lahab and Walidb. Mugiyra alsohad longbeardsand wore turbans. What isworse,the actionsand wordsascribedtoprophetMuhammadhave depictedhimwithacharacter that isfar from exemplary.The Hadithbooks portraysthe prophetasa phantasmagoriccharacterwitha multiple personality.That character ismore fictitiousthanmythological godsand goddesses,suchasHermes,Pan,PoseidonandAphrodite.He isa pendulous character,bothbouncinguptodeity,anddownto the lowestdegree.He is bothwise andmoron.He is sometimesmore merciful thanGodandsometimesa cruel torturer.He isboth perfectandcriminal,humble and arrogant, chaste and sex maniac,trustworthyandcheater,illiterateandeducator, richandpoor, a nepotistanda democraticleader,caringanda male chauvinist,abelieverandadisbeliever,prohibitingHadithandpromoting Hadith. You can findnumerousconflictingpersonalitiespresentedasan exemplaryfigure.Choosewhicheveryoulike. This peculiaraspectof Hadith collectioniswell describedbythe propheticversesof the Quran:"Shall we treat the Muslims(Submitters) like the criminals?What is wrong with your judgement?Do you have a book where you can find anything you wish?" (68:35-38). Furthermore,asimilarstatementismade aboutAbraham:"Agood example has beenset for you by Abraham and those with him" (60:4,6). If verse 33:21 requiresMuhammad'shadith, thenwhy wouldnot the verses60:4,6 require Abraham'shadith? Whichbooks narrate hadithsfrom Abraham? Obviously,the onlyreliablesource forbothexamplesisthe Bookof God, whichnarrates the relevantexemplaryactions. It also warns us not to repeat the mistakes committedby Muhammad (33:37;80:1-10). Obey God and His Messenger (4:59). ObeyingBukhari,anarrator of lies,isnotobeyingthe messenger.Obeying the messengerisobeyingthe complete, perfectandfullydetailedQuran. Verse 25:73 describesthe attitude of believerstowardsGod'srevelations. Butthe followersof HadithandSunnaare verygood inignoringthem.They donotsee 6:19, 7:3, and 50:45 whichsaythat the onlyteachingdelivered byGod'smessengerwasthe Quran.Theydonot thinkthat Muhammadpracticed the Quran,and the Quran alone (5:48, 49). Theydo not hearMuhammad's only complaintabouthispeople (25:30).Theydo not understandthatMuhammad disownsthose whodonot understandthatthe Quranis enoughandfully detailed(6:114). The firstverse of Chapter9 statesthat an ultimatumisissuedfromGodan His messenger.We know thatthe versesabout the ultimatumare entirely fromGod.Goddidnot consultMuhammadaboutthe ultimatum.Muhammad'sonly mission was to deliverGod'smessage (16:35; 24:54).
  • 8. Thus,the reasonthat God includedthe messengerin 9:1 isbecause he participatedasdeliverer of the ultimatum. Similarly,because peoplereceive God'smessage through messengerswe are orderedtoobeythe messengers. We alsoknowthat the :  Quran isa permanentmessenger(65:11), and  the Quran is a reminderand delivererofgoodnews (41:4; 11:2).  Nor is he speaking out of personal desire.It is a divine inspiration(53:3,4).  Meccan idol worshipersclaimedthat Muhammad was the author ofthe Quran (25:5; 68:15).  The beginningof Chapter 53 is about the revelationofthe Quran. It states that "the Quran is from Him".It is not Muhammad's personal claim; it is a divine statement. Therefore,claimingthatthe pronoun"it"inthe verse 53:4 refersto the wordsof Muhammad,not of God, isan obvious distortion.Accordingtothe above verse "it"isrevelation, withoutexception.Thiscanbe validonlyforthe Quran. Itis nonsense to claimthatMuhammad's dailyconversationwasentirelyrevelation. For example, God firmlycriticizesMuhammad'swords to Zayd (33:37). Obviously, the criticismwasnotabout revelation.The beginningphrase of Chapter97 informsusaboutthe revelationof the Quran: "We revealeditin the Night of Destiny".The "it"inthisverse isthe same as the "it"in 53:4. . . . And we sent down to you this message,to proclaim (litubayyena) forthe people everythingthat is sentdown to them,perhaps they will reflect (16:44). People whoestablishHadithandSunnaasanothersource of religious teachingsbesidesthe Quran,optedthe irrelevant meaningof the Arabicword"BYN".The word "'lituBaYyeNa" isaderivative of "BYN",whichisamultiple-meaningword. It means:1) To reveal what is concealed. 2) To explainwhat is vague. The firstmeaningisthe antonymof "hide", the secondisthe antonymof "make vague". God ordersMuhammad to proclaimthe revelationwhichisrevealedtohimpersonally.  Indeed,thisis the whole missionofthe messengers(16:35).  Prophetssometimesexperience difficulty inproclaimingthe revelation(33:37, 20:25).  If the Quran is a profound Arabic book, if it isexplainedbyGod, and ifit is simple to understand (5:15; 26:195; 11:1; 54:17; 55:1-2), thenthe prophetdoesnothave an extramissiontoexplainit.Furthermore,the verse 75:19 doesnotleave anyroomfor an extrahumanexplanation.Thus,the word"litubayyena" of 16:44 issimilartothe one in3:187. Verse 3:187 tellsusthat the people whoreceivedthe revelationshould "proclaimthe scripture to the people, andnever conceal it." The Quran is simple to understand (54:11). Whoeveropenshis/hermindand heartasa monotheistandtakesthe time to studyit,will understandit. Thisunderstandingwill be enoughforsalvation.Beyondthis,tounderstand the multi- meaningversesyoudonotneedtobe a messengerof God.If you have a goodmindand have studiedthe Quranasa believer,thatis,if you have a deepknowledge,thenyouwill be able tounderstandthe true meaningsof multiple- meaningverses.

  • 9. O you who believe, do not place your (opinion) above God and His messenger (49:1). Followersof hadithandsunnaclaimthatGod is representedbythe Quran, andthe messengerisrepresentedbyhis opiniononthe Quran.Thus,they claimthat the Quran is notenoughforsalvation.Some peoplemaynotutter thisclaim straightforwardly.Theymayevenclaimthatthe Quranis complete andenoughforourguidance.However,further questioningwillrevealthattheirquranisnot "the Quran".The Quranis the one that consistsof 114 Chaptersand6346 verses.Itisa mathematicallycoded book.However,theirmindsare confused,andtheirquraniscontaminated with humanspeculationsandlimitedbyasnap-shotinterpretation.Theytry toscare the believersbysaying"youdonotlike the messenger".The beliefthatGodis representedbythe Quran, andthe messengerbyhis teachingisa satanicclaim. There are several pointsto remember:  Quran representsGodand His messenger.  Obeyingthe Quran is obeyingGodand the messenger.  Quran neversays: "ObeyGodand Moses," or"ObeyGod and Muhammad." But, Quran consistentlystates: "ObeyGodand the messenger." Thisis because the word messenger(rasul) comesfrom the "message" (risala). The message is entirelyfromGod;messengerscannot existwithout the message.  Messengersashumans make mistakes.Thus, when believersmade a covenant with prophet Muhammad they promisedto obey himconditionally,i.e.,his righteousorders (60:12). Moreover,God specificallyorders Muhammad to consult the believersaroundhim(3:159). If nobody can objectto the personal decisionof the messenger,thenconsultationis meaningless. However,wheneverthe final decisionismade, it shouldbe followed.  During their lifetimes,messengersare community leaders.Inthis regard messengersare not differentthanthe believerswhoare in charge (4:59); both shouldbe obeyed.But, this obedience isnot absolute.It is openfor consultationand discussion.  The positionof messengersare differentduringtheirlives;theyare interactive teachersand curious students as well.We have the chance to ask them further questions,discussissues,learntheirintention,and even correct their mistakes.On the other hand, theyhave the opportunityto correct our misunderstandings. However,whenthey pass away theirteaching becomesfrozenand loosesits advancing three-dimensional character. The frozen,snap-shotfragmentsof knowledge isa dangerousweapon in the hand ofignorant people to stop God'steachings.Theydefendeveryplainerror in the name of the messenger.Theyinsult every sincere studentsof God's revelation. "Say, 'I do not ask you for any wage. But, what I ask from each of you is to take care of the relatives'" (42:23). Thisverse ismostlyabusedbyShiite Muslims.Theyclaimthatprophet Muhammadwasorderedtoask helpforHIS relatives.Thisdistortioncreated aclassof bloodsuckingpeople survivingoncharity.Hundredsof thousands of people in Iran, Iraqand otherMiddle Easterncountriesclaimthatthey are descendentsof prophetMuhammad(Sayyeedor Shareef) andtheyare entitledtoobligatoryfinancial help.Theyabuse the verse mentionedabove toexploitpeople economically.However,the verse doesnotsay "myrelatives".The contextof the verse isplainenoughtostate that Muhammad doesnot needa wage from the believersandif theycanhelpsomebodythey shouldhelptheirown relatives.Indeed,helpingthe relativesisadivine commandrepeatedin 2:83; 4:36; 8:41; 16:90. The special statusgiventothe descendentsof MuhammadthroughFatimaand Ali hascreateda privilegedand"sacred" religiousclass.
  • 10. An Analogy The Quran broadcastsa veryclearmessage.However,the problemiswithour receivers.If ourreceiverdoesnothearthe broadcast or cannotunderstand itwell,thensomethingiswrongwith ourreceiverandwe have to checkit. If the signal is weak,we needtorecharge our batteries,orresetour antennas.If we donot receive aclearmessage,we needtotune intothe station,to the stationof Quran alone,inorderto getrid of the noises andinterference fromothersources.We may asksome helpfrom knowledgeable peopleorexpertsforthistask.If the receiverdoesnot workat all,thenwe have to make a sincere efforttofix the brokenparts. However,if we believe thatthe problemisin the broadcast,thennobody can helpus.The divine broadcastcanbe heardin detail onlybythose who sincerelytune in,i.e.,those whotake it seriouslyandactaccordingly. The conditionof ourreceiverandthe antenna,the powerof the battery, andthe precision level of ourtuningare veryimportantingettingthe divine message properly.  If the verse 33:21 requires Muhammad's hadith, thenwhy wouldnot the verses 60:4,6 require Abraham's hadith? Whichbooks narrate hadiths from Abraham?  You try to justify your collections of hadiths by using 33:21. Ironically, your collections do not provide an exemplary character. Howcan you claim that an eye-gouger, aurine- prescriber, asex maniac is a "good example"?  The Quran states "Obey Godand the messenger." Howcan you twist this commandment and make Bukhary, or Al-Kafy and many other story books as the secondsource of Islam? According toverse 4:59 we have to obey the people in charge too. Thus, does it mean that Islam is a co-authoredreligionby at least three sources?  The first verse of Chapter 9 states that anultimatumis issuedfromGod an His messenger. We knowthat the verses about the ultimatumare entirely fromGod. Muhammad was not the co-author of the ultimatum. Muhammad's only missionwas to deliver God's message (16:35;24:54). Thus, the reasonthat Godincludes the messenger in9:1 is messenger's participationas a deliverer of the ultimatum. Why don't you apply this explanationtoother verses where the word"messenger"is mentionedafter God?  Why do you distort the meaning of 53:3,4 by taking it out of context?  By claiming that it is the missionof the messenger toexplainthe Quran, youcontradict 16:35;55:2;75:19 andmany other verses. Inorder to support your claim you opt a different meaning of "litubayyena"in 16:44. Infact, the word "litubayyena"of 16:44 is no different thanthe one in 3:187. This verse tells us that the people whoreceivedthe revelation should"proclaimthe scripture topeople, andnever conceal it." How can you claim that the meaning of "litubayyena"in 16:44 is "toexplain", but not "to proclaim"?  You have createdaprivilegedclass out of descendents of the prophet Muhammadby misinterpreting 42:23. What are the Arabic equivalence of "the relatives"and"my relatives"? Whichone is mentionedinthat verse?
  • 11. QUESTION 3 How Reliable Is Your Most Authentic Hadith? It isthe allegedfinal sermon(Khutba) of the Prophet(KhutbatAl-Wadaa'). Thisgreatandhistoriceventisreportedin manyimportantbooksof hadith,includingMuslim,Muwatta,IbnMajah, Abu Dawud, AhmedIbn Hanbal. The big problemis:these booksreportthree vastlydifferentdoctrines fromthishistoricsermonwhichwaswitnessedby 100,000 witnesses(mosthadithswere supposedlywitnessedby 1 or 2 people).Infact,the main topicin that all-importantsermon givesthree contradictingcommandments. Here is whatthe prophetallegedlysaid: 1) "I am leavingfor you two things that you must uphold,the Quran and my Sunnah" (Accordingto Muwatta 46/3). 2) "I am leavingfor you the Quran and my relatives(Ahl Al- Bayt)" (Accordingto Muslim44/4, Nu 2408; Ibn Hanbal 4/366; Darimi 23/1, Nu 3319). 3) "I am leavingfor you the Quran; you shall upholdit" (Accordingto Muslim15/19, Nu 1218; Ibn Majah 25/84, Nu 3074; Abu Dawud 11/56, Nu1905). As yousee,the LASTwordsof the LAST sermonof the LASTprophetwhichhad beenwitnessedbythe greatestnumberof hisfriends,have beenreportedin three differentversions. a) What didthe prophet leave for us according to your most authentichadith? Whichone of the three reports is correct? b) What didthe prophet leave for us according to the besthadith, i.e., the Quran? (6:19,38,114; 5:48-49; 12:111; 39:23). c) How can we trust those hadith books which can change the most important words, though witnessedby thousands of people?Whichhadithcan we trust beside the Quran(45:6)? QUESTION 4 Why Are You So Belligerent? The Quran statesfrequentlythatthere isnocompulsioninreligion(2:256; 10:99; 88:21,22). The Quran advocatesperfect freedomof belief and expression(18:29).The basic law regulatingrelationswithunbelieversis statedin60:8,9. Apostates can not be killedunlesstheyfightagainstthe believers(4:90).However,accordingtohadithandsunnah,a personwho leavesIslamshouldbe killed. The viciouslawsthatexistinhadithbooksalteredIslamintoatyrannical religion.Accordingtohadithandsunnah,if a muslimdoesnotpractice dailycontactprayers(salat),he orshe shouldbe warnedandif they still donotpray; they shouldbe putin prisonor killed.The perfect,complete, clearandfullydetailedQuran (6:19,38,114,115,116; 11:1; 12:111; 54:17), nowhere tellsustopunishthose whodonotobeythiscommandment.A careful studywill show thatall punishmentsdecreedbyGodinvolvesocial andindividual relations;notreligiousbelief andpractices. However, scholars producedmyriadviciouslawsandattributedthemto God(6:21; 42:21). Accordingto the Quran, violence anbelligerence are signs of disbelief (22:72).
  • 12. a) Do the laws that existinHadith books commandingof killingapostates conflictwith the Quran? b) The greatestsin is settingup idolsbesidesGod(4:116), and those who commitsuch a sin can not be forcedto worshipGod alone (18:29). Daily prayers should be observedonly for God(20:14). Is it not a fact that whereversuch a tyrannical rule is practiced,hypocrisy, oppressionand ignorance become widespreadamong the people? c) The Quran mentionstheft,slander, homicide,andother crimes and also decreespunishmentsforeach of them.Why doesit not command us to punish people whodo not observe prayers,although prayers are mentioned90 times in it? QUESTION 5 Why Do You Sanctify Those Who Eliminated Chapters From, Or Added Chapters To The Quran? Accordingto the booksof hadith, AbdullahIbn Masood wasone of the top companionsof the prophetMuhammad.His hadithnarrationsare among Sunni Muslim'smostcherishedsourcesof jurisprudence.Manyhadithandnarration books, includingBukharyand Ibn Hanbel, reportthat Ibn Masood had a personal copyof the Quran andhe didnotput the last twochapters init. Accordingto those bookshe wasclaimingthatthose two chaptersdonot belonginthe Quran. Apparently,anothercompanionof the prophet, UbayyIbnKaab, alsohad a differentpersonalQuran.He addedtwo chapterscalled "SuraAl-Hafd" and "Sura Al-Khal",andclaimedthatthese were fromthe Quran.(These "chapters"are still beingrecitedbyHanafiesinthe "Salatel Witr", afternightprayers. a) What is your opinionconcerningbooks of hadith and Suyuty'sAl-Itqan whichnarrate this information?Are these books slanderingthe companions of the prophet? Whydo you accept such books as your religious sources? b) If those books that narrate the above claimsare correct, thenhow can you relyon the hundredsof hadiths which are narrated by IbnMasood and Ubayy Ibn Kaab? c) Here isa man who eliminatedtwochapters from, and anotherman who addedtwo chapters to the Quran without proof.Yet, you still considerthemas your most authoritative sourcesof knowledge.Whydo you not proclaim Ibn Masood and Ubayy Ibn Kaab "apostates"? QUESTION 6 When Did A Hungry Goat Eat Your "Verse Of Stoning To Death"? God statesinHis fullydetailedbook,the Quran,thatthe adultererand adulteressshouldbe punishedbyone hundred lashes.The profoundversesof Qurandonotmake anydistinctionbetweenmarriedandsingleadulterers (24:1,2). Whetherthose whocommitadulteryare marriedorunmarried,white or black, richor poor,theirpunishmentmustbe one hundredlashesif theyare provenguiltybyfour eye witnesses (24:4).The onlyexceptionsare slaves,whose punishmentishalf of the free (4:25).This isthe law of God whodoesnot run outof words (31:27), isthe bestlawmaker (5:50), neverforgets(19:64), andhas detailedthe Quran (11:1). Whoeverlooksforothersourcesof law disobeysthe messenger(6:114). Believersdonotsubscribe toanyreligioussource otherthanGod'srevelation(45:6). Unfortunately,afterthe deathof the prophetMuhammad,the hypocrites fabricatedhadithsandattributedthemtothe prophetanddistortedGod's law.The people whoare describedin 6:112 producedlie afterlie tochange the punishment of adulterytodeathby stoningformarriedadulterers.They adoptedthislaw fromthe Jewsandtheiridol worshipping ancestors (11:91; 44:20; 36:18; 26:116) claimingthatthe wordsof God are notcomplete and clearin24:1-2. It is significantthatthe AlmightyGodstatedinthe beginningof Chapter24, thatthis law isprofoundandclear!!!
  • 13. The Satanic Theory of Abrogation in the Quran By declaringthe wordof God to be vague and ambiguous,Sunni andShiah scholarsopenedasatanicgate foreverykind of abuse anddistortion. Additionally,bydistortingthe meaningof 2:106, theyclaimedthatmany versesof the Quranhad beenabrogated(amended) byotherversesorby hadith.Bythis "abrogation theory", theyamendedeveryverse which they didnot understandorwhichdidnotsuittheirinterestorcontradicted theirhadith.But,like everythingelse,they disagreedonthe numberof abrogatedverses;some of themabrogated5Quranic verses,some 20verses andsome 50 ... "The verse that has been abrogated by a goat"! The Arab idol worshipersfabricatedhadithsandclaimedthatprophet Muhammadstonedacouple (Maizand Gamidiyye) to death.Since theyrealized thathadithsare notenoughto abrogate the clearversesinchapter24, theyevenfabricated a "verse"supportingstoningandattributedittoGod. Theytriedto injectthissatanicverse intoQuran.Whentheyfailed, they fabricatedfoolishstorieswhichonlythe people whoare describedin 10:100 believe.Accordingtotheirstory,the 'stoningverse'was recorded inQuranduringthe time of Muhammad;but justafterhisdeath,a goat enteredAisha's house andate the page on whichthat verse wasinscribed. Thus,the stoningversehasbeenabrogatedphysically.This storycan be found inIbn Magah, Nikah, 36/1944 and Ibn Hanbal, 5/131,132,183; 6/269. How can a verse of a perfectscripture,whichwascompletedduring Muhammad'slifetime, be abrogatedbya goat?As an answerto this question, IbnQutayba,a famousscholar,inhisbook entitled"Solvingthe ContradictionsAmong Hadiths" statedthat "the goat is a holyanimal". And he askeda counterquestion: "Whynotbelieve inGod'spower?As He destroyedthe people of Aad and Thamud, He is also able to destroyHis revelationsby usingevena goat!" "Omar was a Hypocrite!!!" The slanderersof Godand the prophetsupportedtheirlieswithotherlies. TheyslanderedKhalif Omarbyattributing these wordstohim: "Because inthe future some people will appearand deny the punishmentofstoning,by claiming that theycan not findit in the Quran, if I did not fear that people will say that Omar isadding to the Quran, I would add the stoningverse intothe Quran!!" (Bukhary 93/21; Muslim,Hudud 1691; Tirmizi,Hudud 8/1431; Abu Dawud 41/1; Itkan 2/34). So,if Omar fearedGod,insteadof people,the "stoningverse" wouldnothave existedinall booksof hadith as"the verse eatenby a goat"! "The Adulterer Monkeys!" The scholarsof hadithandsunnahwere not contentwiththese stories;they alsostated that"a tribe of monkeys arrested an adulterermonkey and stonedit to death" (Bukhari,63/27). Those who slanderedevenmonkeys,in orderto setthemup as an example of followinghadithandsunnah,have beendescribedbyverses 2:65 & 7:179! These professional liarsalsodidnot spare otherbelievers.Forinstance, AbuHanifawaspersecutedandtorturedinprison by AmawyandAbbasy religiousofficialsdue tohisrejectionof hadithandacceptingthe Quran alone.He was sucha popularfigure thatfollowinghisdeath,those officialsusedhispopularityfortheirdecrees.Finally,theyattributeda whole Sunni secttohim. "Lie Factories" And Their Managers In the secondHijrahcentury,hundredsof thousandsof hadithswere fabricated.AttributingliestoGodand His messengerbecame fashionable. Forexample,Bukharystatesthathe selectedhisseventhousandnarrations outof seven hundredthousandnarrations. Accordingto Bukhary's own confession,99% ofthe hadiths he collectedwere fake. Muslimscholarswere aware of the fact that none couldunderstanda religionwhichhadbeendistortedbynarrations, stories,superstitions, conflictinginstructionsandcruel laws.Thus,theycalledandevenforced people tofollowthem blindly,withoutreasoningandreflecting.Theywere, andare,alwaysuneasybecauseof fearthat,one day,reasonable people wouldremove theirsatanicveil andexposetheirignorance. Theydonot realize that Quran condemnsfollowing anyone blindly(2:170; 5:50,104; 10:78, 100; 17:36; 26:74; 31:21; 43:22,23).
  • 14. "Joint Stock Company Religion" Our ancestors,justlike the Jewsandthe Christians,inventedmassive religiousconceptsandwrote enormousreligious booksand acceptedthemas the foundationfortheirreligion (23:52-56; 42:21). Theychangedthe Religion of Godintoa jointstockreligion establishedbyGod + messenger+ familyof the messenger+ friendsofthe messenger+ theirgenerations+ leadersof sects + scholars of sects.... After this informationandcriticism, let us ask our questions: a) What is the punishment of adultery according tothe Quran? b) When did the goat eat the "verse of stoning to death" as is claimed by Bukhary, Muslim, Tirmizy, Ibn Hanbal ? c) How was the verse eaten by the goat removed from the Quran after the prophet's death? d) The six famous books of hadith (kutubi sitta) claim that Omar wanted to put the "stoning verse" into the Quran; but he could not do this because of his fear of people. Don't these books insult Omar as being a hypocrite? e) This terrible punishment which contradicts 24:1,2 and 4:25, is mentioned throughout th e Quran as the idol worshiper's practice (11:91; 19:46; 36:18; 18:20). Is not this a fact? f) Do you claim that the "stoning verse" which has been removed from the Quran by a holy goat, is still valid in jurisprudence? And what is your proof that this "verse" was literally abrogated, yet is still legally valid? g) Your "stoning verse" is narrated by all your holy books as "esheyhu wesheyhetu iza zanaya farcumuhuma elbettete...." Is this consistent with the Quranic prose? You all accept this so called verse concerning married adulterers. What Arabic words does the Quran use for married people? What does "esheyhu wesheyhetu" mean in Arabic? (11:72; 12:78; 28:23; 40:67). According to your literally abrogated but legally valid verse, can a young married adulterer be stoned to death? When is one considered old? h) Let's accept your terrible claim for awhile that some verses of the Quran have been abrogated. The verse 2:106, according to your misunderstanding states: "Whenever a verse is abrogated, God will substitute a better one or at least a similar one". So, if the "stoning verse" has been abrogated as claimed; God must substitute a better one or a similar one. So, which verse has been substituted for the "goat eaten verse"? According to your abrogation theory, how many kinds of abrogations exist? i) According to your sectarian belief, even abrogated verses remain in the Quran physically. Why has a verse about such an important issue, i.e., stoning to death, been removed from the Quran physically? Why has the small punishment remained in the Quran and the capital punishment been abrogated? j) According to your own history, many believers had memorized the Quran by heart during the prophet's time. When the goat ate your verse, what happened tothe memorized versions? k) Why do you slander animals, i.e., monkeys, by following Bukhary who narrates many foolish stories? l) How many verses have been abrogated in the Quran? Do you agree on their numbers? Do you know these verses: 4:82; 15:90-99; 2:85 ?
  • 15. QUESTION 7 Why Do You Prohibit Gold & Silk For Males? The onlysource of God's religion,Quran,doesnotprohibitgoldandsilk formales.Onthe otherhand,it declaresthat nobody has the right to prohibitthe nice things that God produces for His creatures (7:30-32). God decreesthatthese things are reservedexclusivelyforbelieversonthe day of resurrection(18:31; 22:23; 35:33), and theyare alsolawful for theminthisworld. a) Are not those who prohibit goldand silkfor male believersaddressedby7:30-32 and 42:21? b) What is your commenton the hadith which narrates that prophetMuhammad had granted permissionforone of hiscompanion to wear a goldenring? QUESTION 8 Why Do You Prohibit Pictures, Music, and Chess? The Quran as the fullydetailedwordof Goddoesnot prohibitdrawing pictures,makingartisticstatues,playingmusicand chess.Onthe contrary,it statesthat there were statuesinthe mansion ofProphet Solomon(34:13). It alsostatesthat a discordant and out-of-tune voice isnot good (31:19). Accordingto hadith, "The worst people inthe hereafterwill be the paintersand the sculptors, because theyimitated God'screaturesand for this reasonthey became idol worshipers.In the hereafter,Godwill ask themto give life totheir picturesor statues.Whenthey fail,Godwill put themin hell". Accordingtoanotherhadith,"musical instrumentswith strings and reedsare satanic appliances". a) Why are pictures and statues unlawful, evenif they are made only for artistic purposes? b) The statues inthe mansionof Solomon are the result of the biggest sin, according to the hadith, and this sinleads people intoidol worship. How could a prophet of God commit sucha sin? Why does God not criticize Solomonfor the statues inhis mansion? c) Constructing airplanes is animitationof one of God's creatures i.e., birds. According to your books, constructing airplanes is asin, isn't it? d) According tothe hadith and sunnah, the traditional Arab's musical instruments likethe tambourine and drum are lawful; but all non-Arabic musical instruments are unlawful. How can you explainthis situation? What was the nationality of the majority of hadith narrators?
  • 16. QUESTION 9 Which Animals Are Lawful? The verse 6:145 clearlystatesthatonlyfourkindsof animal productsare prohibitedforeating: animalsthatdie of themselves,runningblood(not that trapped withinthe meat),the meat ofpigs, and animals dedicatedto otherthan theirCreator. Verse 146 informsusthat such prohibitionare veryspecific;Godprohibitseither"the meat"or"the fat",or both,if He so wills.The followingverses 6:147-150 state that whoeverprohibitsother thanthose fouritems,isafollower of conjecture andhumanopinion. The Quran alsostatesthat those whoinventprohibitionandattribute them toGod,are idol worshipers.Ironically,those whoidolize theirscholars byacceptingtheiropinionsasa divine law are notaware of theiridol worship.Theywill assert that God isthe source of theiridol worshipby sayingthatthese lawswere fromGod (6:148 and 6:23). The Quran prohibitsonlythe meatof one animal,the pig.Godlefteating otheranimalsuptoour taste.We cannot prohibitanimalsthatwe donot like andclaimthatGod prohibitedthem. Butthe religiousscholars inventedmany prohibitionandconsequentlydisagreedonthem. a) Why is the eating of clam, shrimp, crab, and mussel unlawful according tothe Hanefy sect and lawful according to Shafiiy and Maliky? What about the Quran and Muhammad? b) Do the differences between Sunni sects on the dietary prohibition originate from hadith or the Quran? c) What food is lawful and what is unlawful in Islam? d) According to the Quran, division into sects is a behavior of idol worshipers and it is the result of following man-made books (23:52-56; 6:159). How can you accept this satanic division as a mercy from God? e) According to the Quran, only the meat of pig is prohibited, not its fat. God does not prohibit pigs, but prohibits only the meat of pigs. What is your proof that pig's fat is unlawful in Islam? Did the hadith inventors forget to fabricate a hadith to prohibit pig's fat? QUESTION 10 Why Do You Insult And Oppress Women? Booksof hadithandSunni jurisprudence are full of narrationsandlaws againstwomen,insultingthemandlookingdown uponthem: a) "The intelligence and the religion of women are incomplete." b) "If a monkey, a black dog, or a woman passes in front of a praying person, his prayer is nullified." c) "To find a good woman among women is similar to finding a white crow among a hundred crows." d) "The marriage commitment is a kind of slavery for women." e) "If anybody has been required toprostrate before others beside God, the woman should prostrate before her husband." "I have been shown the dwellers of hell; the majority of them were women." f) "If the body of the husband is covered with pus and his wife licks it with her tongue, she still will not be able to pay her debt to him."
  • 17. Baseless Hadiths These are onlya fewexamplesfromthe mostpopularsatanicbooks,Bukhary andMuslim, whichinmanycasesare preferredoverQuran.The six "authentic"books(Bukhary,Muslim, IbnHanbal,Tirmizy,IbnMajah,and Nesaiy) are full of manyfabricatedhadithsagainstwomen.Those who acceptedthe narrationsreportedbythe professional liarsof Amawy and Abbasyastheirreligioussource,have unfortunatelycreatedaterrible male oppressionof femalesforcenturies. Accordingto the Quran,  those who are not contentwith Quran and fabricate liesand attribute themto the prophet, are the enemyof the prophet(6:112-116).  Those who upholdbaselesshadith,and thus divert othersfrom the path of God withoutknowledge,and take it in vain, have incurred a shameful retribution (31:6). Accordingto God's law, a) womenhave the same rightsas men(2:228). b) Womencan divorce theirhusbands (2:230, 233, 228; 4:35). c) Womencannot remarry until they have three menstruationbut men have no such obligationand this is the only difference (2:228). On the otherhand, The Arabs who are describedas "the worst disbelievers" bythe Quran (9:97), fabricatedmany religiouslawsparalleltotheirdespicable attitude towardswomen. Accordingto the Sunni religion,the womanhasnoright of divorce .The husbandcan divorce hiswife wheneverhe wants, but a womancannot divorce herhusband,evenif she hateshim. a) Do you accept the hadiths we quotedabove from Bukhari and Muslim? b) What is the Quranic descriptionof those whoproduce lies and attribute themtothe prophet? c) Quran has given women equal rights (2:228). Why doyou not give them the right of divorce? d) According tothe Quran, divorce is a case that takes at least four months to be put into effect (2:226;4:35;65:6). After divorce, womenmust wait at least three menstruation before remarriage (2:228-230). A couple can divorce one another twice and can remarry, but after the thirddivorce they cannot remarry consecutively (2:229, 230). Whoever says that he divorcedhis wife merely by verbal announcement of the divorce (talaq) three times, is simply aliar. Howcan a husband divorce his wife three times only by saying, "I divorce you by three talaqs (divorces)"? e) According toyour sectarianreligion, if ahusband utters certain words, evenby mistake or in anger, he gets divorced. He cannot marry his wife anymore. How many couples have beenforcedto divorce since this rule was presentedas adivine law? How much money have your scholars made for finding tricky ways to reunite the "divorced" couples? f) Because youhave not givenwomen their right of divorce, sometimesyou encounter very serious social problems. Tosolve these problems, Hanafi scholars decreedthat a woman shouldbe considereddivorcedevenif her husband divorces her under pressure. What is your opinion on this Sunni law?
  • 18. QUESTION 11 Why Do You Force Women To Cover Their Hair, And Even Their Face? One of the mostabusedand distortedsubjectsafterMuhammad,of course,is the jurisprudenceaboutwomen.Likethe Christians,the Muslimscholars alsoinventedhermitism (57:27),and byhadithsand theirpersonal opinions,they deprivedwomenof theirGod-givenrights.Inthe muslim society,womenbecame deaf,dumbandblindcreatures. Muslimscholarshave humiliatedwomanbytheirsatanicteachings,takingawayherdivorce right, notallowingherto pray,read Quran,fast, or worshipGodduringher menstruation,consideringherequal todonkeysandblackdogs(which accordingto hadithsshouldbe killedwhereverfound),comparingherwith blackcrows,deprivingherof education,not acceptingheras a consultant ora leaderof a government... In addition,Muslimscholarsrefusedtoallowwomentogoout inpublic, unlesstheyputthemselvesinblacksacks...Some of themwenta step furtherandforcedthemto hide theirface withveils. Distorting the Meaning of Words MuslimscholarstriedtoapplytheirsatanicreligiontoQuranand change the meaningof words (4:46; 5:13; 5:41). They triedto change the meaning of the Arabicword "khumur= covers" in24:31 into"head covers".The word "khumur" isa plural nounthat comesfromthe root word of "khamara" whichmeans"tocover". The singularformof the same word "khamr", has beenused forintoxicantswhich "cover" the mind (5:90).Inverse 24:31, God commands female believersto maintaintheirchastityandputtheircoverson their chests,nottheirheads!Additionally,the word "fel yedribne =they shall put" is significantinthatverse.If hadithistswere correct,insteadof thisword, "fel yudnine =theyshall lengthen" (like in33:59) wouldhave beenused. a) What does "khamara" mean and why do you change the word "khumur = covers"in verse 24:31, into"khumurur re's = headcovers"? b) Did womenbelievers during the time of Muhammad use veils tocover their faces or not? If they were not covering their faces howand why did a main Sunni sect, Shafiiy, invent veils? If they were covering their faces with veils howand why did a main Sunni sect Hanefy amend it? Those who can invent veils canalsoinvent head covers. Why not? QUESTION 12 Why Do You Make Distinction Among Messengers? God commandsus not to make any distinctionamong messengers(2:285). Believers'attitude towardsGod's commandmentsistosay "we hearand we obey";butthose whomanipulate wordssay"we hearand we disobey" (4:46). God has blessedHismessengerswithdifferentpeculiarities. In2:253 He givessome examplesof these peculiarities,such as His speakingdirectly withMoses,andgivingprofoundmiraclestoJesusandsupportinghimwith the HolySpirit.In 17:55 He statesthat He had preferredsome messengers toothersbygivingeachof themdifferentblessings,suchas endowingDavidwithPsalms.ButGoddidnot mentionanywherethatHe had preferred thismessengeroverthat messenger.Accordingto 2:285, we do not have the rightto make a preference listformessengers.Otherwise,idolizing messengersandfallingintoabaselessdispute isinevitable.

Fabrication of "Miracles" to Help Their Idols Ironically,Muhammad'sworshiperssometimestake outaneye whentryingto make an eyebrow!Forexample,they claimedbyseveral hadithsinBukhary thatMuhammadcurseda left-handedmanwhoeatingwithhislefthand,and curseda childpassinginfrontof himwhile he wasprayingandcausedboth of themto be crippled!Byinventingsexual miraclestheyinsultedthe prophetandhiswiveswithfoolishandshamelessstories.Byinventing Miraj stories(miraculous ascensiontoheavenwiththe body) theypresent Muhammadasa unionstewartbargainingwithGod onthe numberof daily prayers;buton the otherside insultinghim,implyingthathe couldnot understandthathisfollowerscannotpractice 50 prayersa day(a prayerper 28 minutes).Aftertakingadvice fromMoseswhowasa residentof the 6thheaven,he reducedthemto5 prayersa day- afterfive timesgoingup anddownbetweenMosesandGod!To praise Muhammad, some claimedthatin the generationsfromAdamtoMuhammad there were notanydisbelieversamong hisancestors.To justifytheirlie,theyclaimedthatAzarwas not Abraham'sfather(6:74). To prove that Muhammadwas the greatest prophet theyevenclaimedthathe wascreatedfromlight,he hadno shadow,his bodywill notrotin the grave,God createdthe entire universeforhim,he will have the highestintercessionauthorityinthe hereafter,andsoon... Their Common Attitude The common attitude of all idol worshipersistoclaimthat theiridols willrescue themfromGod'spunishmentby intercession(2:123,254; 6:70,94; 7:53; 10:3; 39:44; 43:86; 74:48; 82:17-19). Insteadof praisingGodday and night(33:42; 76:25), and commemoratingHim (3:41,191; 73:8; 4:103), they alwayspraise andcommemorate theiridolstoguarantee the intercession. Theysometimesuse the name of Godwithoutanypraise,buttheycan never use the name of theiridol withoutphrasesof praise.Theyevenaccuse the true believerswhodonotact like themas disbelievers. Muhammadans contradict their own teaching Those whoclaim that Muhammad wasthe greatestmessengerare evenignorant of theircontradictoryhadithsonthis subject.Forinstance; "Ihad more doubt than Abraham had" (Bukhary 60/1). "If I wouldhave beeninvitedto what Josephhad beeninvited,I wouldnot rejectthat invitation" (Bukhary 60:11,19). "Donot give me a higherrank than Jonah, do not make distinctionamong messengers" (Bukhary65/4,5; A.B. Hanbel 1/205,242,440; 2:405,451,468). But theydidignore these hadithsandgetstuck on "I am the most honorable of Adam's children,Iam the one who will be resurrected first." (Hanbal 1/5; 5/540,388).
  • 20. Distorting the Meaning Muhammadanstriedto manipulate the meaningof the verse 2:285 whichcommandsus not to make distinctionamong messengers:"The messengerbelievesinwhatwassentdownto himfromhisLord, and so dothe believers.Theybelieve inGod, His angels,Hisscripture,andHis messengers;'We make nodistinctionamonganyof His messengers;'andthey proclaim:'We hear, andwe obey.Forgive us.You are our Lord. To you is the ultimate destiny.'"Muslimscholarsclaim that thisverse forbidsusfromdisbelievinginsome messengers,notfromrankingthem. a) Verse 2:285 states that believersbelieveinGod'smessengers.Whatis the reason of repeatingthe same point with a differentexpression?Ifthis is stressingthe meaning,then why is not the same stress made for angels and books? b) Since God knows the weaknessof the people whoidolize theirmessengers, whycannot this verse be a reminderfrom the Lord of the universe to preventpeople from puttingtheir messengersintocompetition? c) We cannot arrange messengersofGodaccording to theirpositionin heaven.We do not have such a task. Do you know any Quranic commandmentthat orders us to make distinctionamong messengersaccordingto their righteousness?Canyou show us your hierarchical listof the messengers? d) If a Christian claims that Jesusis greater than Muhammad according to the Quran, by using verses2:253; 4:171; 3:49; 19:19, 30; how can you oppose thisclaim? e) Muhammad was a followerofAbraham. Whodo you put on the top of your distinctionlist,the followeror the leader? f) Bukhary, whichyou usually preferoverthe Quran, also narrates that Muhammad was not the most honorable messenger,andbelieversshouldnotmake any distinctionamong messengers.Whydoyou force yourselfto accept the other narrations that contradict the Quran instead? QUESTION 13 Was Muhammad Illiterate? The verse 7:158 statesthat Muhammadwas a gentile: "Soyoushall believe inGodand His messenger,the gentile (ummy) prophet." The Arabic word "ummy" describes people whoare not Jewishor Christian.The meaningof thisword,whichoccurs six timesinthe Quran,has been changedto" one who can neitherread nor write".Thisdeliberate manipulationbyMuslim scholarshas become widelyacceptedasthe true meaningof the word.Forexample Yusuf Ali,inhistranslation,follows thispattern:"...So believe inGodand His Apostle,the unlettered Prophet,...".Marmaduke Pickthall'stranslationalso reflectsthe same manipulation:"...Sobelieve inAllahand His messenger,the prophetwho can neitherread nor write,..". The Quran Explains the True Meaning of "Ummy" Let's examine the true meaningof "ummy" inthe Quran.Anyone caneasily understandthat "ummy" doesnotmeanan illiteratepersonbyreflectingon the verse 3:20 below: "Andsay to those who receivedthe scripture, as well as those who did not receive anyscripture (ummyyeen)..." In thisverse the word"ummy"describesMeccanidol worshipers.Itis obviousthat"ummy"doesnotmeanilliterate because ithas beenusedas the antonymof the people of the scripture.If the verse was"...And say to those literate and illiterate",thentheirabove translationof "ummy"wouldbe correct.Accordingtothe verse 3:20 the people of Arab peninsulaweretwomaingroups: 1. The people ofthe scripture,i.e.,Jewsand Christians. 2. Gentiles,whowere neitherJewishnorChristian.
  • 21. If the people whowere neitherJewsnorChristianswerecalled"ummyyeen" (3:20; 3:75), thenthe meaningof "ummy"is veryclear.As a matterof fact,the verse 3:75 clearlyexplainsitsmeaningasgentile. Mecca wasthe cultural centerof the Arabsin the 7th century.Poetry competitionswere being heldthere.Itisahistorical fact that Meccans were notfamiliarwiththe Bible,thustheyweregentiles.Sothe verse 62:2 describesMeccanpeople by the word "ummyyeen": "He is the One who sent to the gentiles(ummyyeen) amessengerfromamong them,to recite to themHis revelations, purifythem, and teach them the scripture and wisdom. Before this,they had gone far astray." (62:2) The Quran doesnot classifythe peopleof Arabpeninsulaasthe literate andthe illiterate,asMuslimscholarsclaim.The Quran classifiesthe people aspeople of the book(Jews&Christians) andgentiles.The second classificationisthe correct one,andthe Quransupportsit. The disbelieversclaimedthatMuhammadwasquotingversesfromthe Oldand New Testaments (25:5; 68:15). The verse belowrefutestheir accusation and givesthe answer: "Youdid not read any previousscriptures, nor did you write them with your hand. In that case,the objectorswould have had reason to harbor doubts." (29:48) Thisverse tellsusthat Muhammad didnot readnor write previous scriptures.The word"minqablihi=previous" proves that Muhammadread and wrote the final scripture. Muhammad was a Literate Gentile (Ummy) Afterthisexaminationonthe true meaningof the word"ummy",here are the reasonsand proofsforthe fact that Muhammadwas a literate gentile: 1. ˆ To magnifythe miraculousaspect of the Quran, religiouspeople thought that the story of illiteracywould be alluring. 2. ˆ The producer of the illiteracystory found it easy to change the meaning of"ummy",which in the entire Quran, consistentlymeans "gentile" (2:78; 3:20; 3:75; 62:2). 3. ˆ The Arabs of the 7th century were usinglettersas numbers.This alphabetical numberingsystemis called "Abjed".The merchants of those days had to know the lettersof the alphabetto record theiraccount. If Muhammad was a successful international merchant,then he most probably knew this numberingsystem.The Arabs stopped usingthe "Abjed" systeminthe 9th century whenthey took "Arabic numbers" from India. 4. ˆ The Quran's spellingisunique.The mathematical miracle of the Quran, which proves that Quran is the word of God,confirms the unique spellingof the Quranic words. The differentspellingsofsome wordsare not the personal preference ofthe scribes.For example,the words "salat", "zakat","hayat" are written with"waw" insteadof "alif".Inverse 3:96 the name ofMecca isspelledas "Bacca". The word "bastatan" is written with "seen" throughoutthe Quran, exceptin7:69 where it is writtenwith "saad". 5. ˆ If you write the first verse of the firstrevelationwith Basmalah, you will conclude that Muhammad was literate.We know that Basmalah has 19 letters,the first revelationi.e.,96:1-5 consistsof 76 (19x4) letters, this first chronological chapter consists of19 versesand is placedfirst of the last 19 chapters and has 285 (19x15) letters.(The code 19 will be mentionedinthe next questions).Thisinformationexplainsthe different spelling of the word "bism" inthe beginningofthe Basmalah and in the first verse ofchapter 96. Youdecide;is it reasonable for an illiterate to dictate two differentspellingsofthe same word which is pronouncedthe same? 6. ˆ Traditional history books accept that Muhammad dictatedthe Quran and controlledits recording.Even ifwe accept that Muhammad did not know how to read or write before revelationofthe Quran, we can not claim that he preservedhisilliteracyduring 23 years while he was dictatingthe Quran. 7. ˆ The first revelationwas "Read," and the first five versesof that revelationencourage reading and writing (96:1-5). The secondrevelation was "The penand writing" (68:1).
  • 22. Now, let's ask our questions: a) As you can see in verse 3:20 and3:75, the Quran uses the word"ummy" as the antonym of the "ehlil kitab= people of the book". Do you believe that Quran classifies peopleas literateandilliterate? b) The Quran describes Meccanpeople withthe word"ummyyeen= gentiles" (62:2). According to your claim, all Meccanpeople must have been illiterate. According toyour holy books, who was writing poems in Mecca? Whowas reading the poems hanging on the walls of the Kaba? c) Which numbering systemwere the Arabs using inthe 7thcentury? Did those who were making calculations withthose numbers knowhow to readand write? d) Is the unique spelling inthe Quran the result of errors andpersonal opinions? How do you explainthe different spelling of "bism"of the Basmalahand the first verse of chapter 96? e) Does God command an illiteratemanto "read"? Could Muhammad readafter Gabriel's instruction? Does this story not contradict your claimthat Muhammad diedan illiterate? f) Let us accept that Muhammad was illiteratebefore the revelationof the Quran. Why did he insist onstaying illiteratefor 23 years after the first revelation:"Read !"? Did he not obey his Lord's command? Did he receive another command forbidding him from reading and writing? g) Was it so difficult for Muhammad to learnto readand write? If a person still does not learnto readand write after 23 years of careful dictation of a book, what do you think about sucha person? Is he stupidor a liar? h) Was Muhammad encouraging his followers toreadand write? If so, why did he exclude himself? Howdoyou explainthis strange attitude andverse 2:44? i) How can an illiterate maninsure the accuracy of a scribe? j) You are trying to imitate Muhammadfrom his eating tohis attire, from his beard to his toothbrush;why do you not imitate his illiteracy? Why doyou not follow his sunnah? k) You are the people whodisagree on almost every subject;but youagree on the story of the illiteracy of Muhammad. Howcould you manage this agreement?
  • 23. QUESTION 14 Who Is The Messenger Of The Covenant? The Quran in the verse 3:81 clearlystatesthatafterall prophets,God's Messengerof the Covenantwill be senttoconfirm all scriptures: Godtook a covenant from the prophets,saying,"AfterI have givenyou the scripture and wisdom,a messengerwill come to confirm what you have. Youshall believe inhimand support him." He said, "Do you agree with this, and pledge to upholdthis covenant?" They said,"We agree." He said, "You have thus borne witness,and I am with you a Witness(3:81). Verse 3:81 isenoughto understandthatthe prophetMuhammadwasincluded inthatspecial covenantaboutthe coming of a messengerafterall the prophets.Butinspite of thisclearverse,those whoidolizedthe prophet Muhammadclaim that Muhammadwas not included.SinceGodknowseverything, andknew thatsome wouldobject,Godspecifically mentionedMuhammadwith the covenantof the prophetsinthe verse 33:7.Verse 33:7 referstothis covenant: Recall that we took from the prophetstheir covenant,includinga pledge from you (O Muhammad),and from Noah, Abraham, Moses,andJesusthe son of Mary. We took from thema solemnpledge (33:7). The Definition of "Nabi" and "Rasoul" Verse 3:81 alsoprovidesthe definitionof "Nabi"(Prophet) and"Rasoul"(Messenger).Thus,"Rasoul"isa messenger commissionedbyGodto confirm existingscripture; he doesnotbringa new scripture unlesshe isa prophet.According to the Quran, every "Nabi" isa"Rasoul",but notevery "Rasoul"is a "Nabi".The word"Rasoul" ismore general thanthe word"Nabi".For example the word"Rasoul"isusedforthe messengerof the King of Egyptin verse 12:50, but"Nabi" is alwaysusedforGod's messengers. Alsothe frequencyof the occurrencesof these twowordsinthe Qurangives a hintof thisnuance. Noteverymessengerwasgivenanewscripture.Itisnot logical thatGod will give ascripture to a prophet,thenaskhim to keepitexclusivelyforhimself,asstatedbysome Muslimscholars(2:42, 146, 159). Those whoare notsufficiently familiarwiththe Qurantendto thinkthatAaronwas a "Nabi",as statedin 19:53, whodidnot receive ascripture.Bythis claimtheytry to exchange the meaningof the "nabi" and"rasoul".However,the Quranclearlystatesthatthe Bookwas givenspecifically"toboth Mosesand Aaron" (21:48; 37:117). We learnfromthe Quran, 33:40, that Muhammad wasthe last prophet(Nabi), butnotthe lastmessenger(Rasoul): "Muhammad was not the father ofany of any man among you; he was a messenger(Rasoul) ofGod and the last prophet (Nabi)." (33:40) The Common Human Trait From time immemorial,ithasbeenahumantrait to rejecta contemporary, livingmessengeronthe basisthata previous messengerwasthe last messenger.Josephwasdeclared "the lastmessenger" (40:34). Yet,many messengerscame after him,includingMoses,David,JesusandMuhammad. "Josephhad come to you in the past with clear signs,but you continuedto doubt his message.And whenhe diedyou said, 'Godwill not sendany messengerafter him.God thus sendsastray those who are transgressors, doubtful." (40:34)
  • 24. The versesbefore 3:81 give usthe mostimportantreasonforthe rejection of the Messengerof the Covenantby "Muslims": Neverwoulda human beingwhom Godhas blessedwithscripture and prophethoodsay to the people,"Be worshipers of me besidesGod." Instead, (he wouldsay), "Be devotedto your Lord alone,in accordance withthe scripture you received,andlearned.Nor would he command you to set up the angelsand the prophets as lords. Wouldhe order you to disbelieve afterbecomingMuslims?(3:79, 80) Muslims Idolized Muhammad 1. Today's Muslims,like past generations,fell intothe satanic trap of fabrication, and idolizedMuhammad. 2. They acceptedhim as the source of the religion, whichaccording to Quran is idol worship (6:114; 9:31; 12:40;18:26, 109,110; 41:6; 46:9). 3. They put his name next to the name of God in the "shahadah",and thisis idol worship (39:45; 3:18; 37:35). 4. They addedhisname in the "Adhan" and disobeyedQuran (72:18; 2:285; 3:18). 5. They attributedto himmany namesof God such as Raheem, Raouf, Azeez,Hafeez, Haseeb,Mujeeb,Awwal, Ahir, Kareem,Hakeem...They put his name right next to God'sname in the mosques.By storiesof intercession, they acceptedhim as a rescuerfrom God (2:123,254; 6:70,94; 7:53; 10:3,18,49; 13:16; 39:44,45; 43:86; 74:48; 82:17-19). 6. They praisedhis name more than Godby abusing the verse 33:56 (For the correct meaningof 33:56 see the verse 33:43 and 9:103 which"salla" means "encourage",not"praise"). 7. They acceptedhim as sinlessfrom birth till death (18:110; 41:6; 47:19; 48:2; 33:37; 42:52; 93:7). Ironically, Sunni and Shiite Muhammadans are not aware of their idolatry.They claim that theyare monotheists(6:23). Mahdi: Satanic Diversion There isabsolutelynowayaroundthe Quranicprophecyin3:81 that a messengerwill come afterMuhammad.From3:81 and 33:7, we learnthat God's Messengerof the CovenantisnotMuhammad.Why thendowe notsee any trace of this messengerinthe literature?Howdidsuchan importantprophecy disappear?Since itisimpossibleforSatantoremove the Quranic prophecy, the devil resortedtoacleverdiversionarytactic.ThroughHadithand otherMuhammadan literature,Satancreatedanumberof figures suchas the Mahdi, ImamZaman,the reappearance of Jesus,etc.,toreplace God's Messengerof the Covenant.Satanevenreversedthe definitionsof "Nabi" and"Rasoul".Thus,afterMuhammad's death,people startedtowaitforthe expectedMahdi,Jesus,and the 12th Imam, insteadof a Messenger. Satan dupedmillionsof Muslimsintowaitingforanimaginary,non-existentfigure.There are numerouscluesexposing the gradual developmentof this Satanicplot.Forexample,the earlynarrationscalledthe expectedsavior"Mahdi Rasoul".Asa secondstep,Satanremovedthe word"Rasoul"and calledthe expectedfigure just"Mahdi." Distinguishing God's Messengers from Fake Ones The Quran providesstraightforwardcriteriatodistinguishthe true messengersof Godfromthe false messengers: 1) God'smessengeradvocates the worshipof Godalone and the abolitionofall forms of idol-worship. 2) God'smessengerneverasksfor a wage for himself. 3) God'smessengeris givendivine,incontrovertible proofofhismessengership. Anyone whoclaimstobe God'smessenger,anddoesnotmeetthe three minimumcriterialistedabove isafalse claimant. Additionally,God'smessengerissupportedbyGod'sinvisiblesoldiers(3:124-126; 9:26-40; 33:9;37:171-173; 48:4-7; 74:31). God's messengerissupportedbyGod'streasury(63:7-8).God'smessenger,aswell asthe believers,are guaranteedvictory anddignity,inthisworldandforever(40:51; 58:21).
  • 25. a) Why do you exclude Muhammad from the covenant which was taken from all the prophets? b) What is your proof that the covenant mentionedin 33:7 is a different covenant? c) Why does God repeat the words "messenger"and"prophet"one right after the other in 33:40:"Muhammad was a messenger of Godand the last prophet"? d) Where does Quran state that Muhammad was the last messenger? e) Why do Christians reject Muhammad? Why did Egyptians reject Moses? Are you sure that you don't have the same problem? f) The verse 3:81 whichprophecies the messenger that will come after all the prophets, alsodefines the difference between"nabi"and "rasoul". Why do you not accept this definition? QUESTION 15 Will Jesus Come Back? For the believerswhoupholdthe Quranalone,the secondcomingof Jesusis asimple storywhichcontradictsthe Quran. Let's examine the Quranicfacts aboutthisstory:  Jesuswas a prophet ofGod, and he announcedhis prophethoodas an infant (19:30).  Muhammad was the messengerofGod and the last prophet.No prophet will come after Muhammad (33:40).  If we agree on these two points, we will agree on the third. As the logical result of the above facts, the third fact is: After the last prophetMuhammad, Jesuswill not come back, since Jesus was a prophet. To claimthat Jesus,inhissecondcoming,will notbe aprophet,is denyingthe versesaboutJesus'prophethood.If Jesus will come back, he has to believethe Quranicversesthatsay he isa prophet.If he accepted thathe isa prophet,he would beingdenyingthe finalprophethoodof Muhammad. Those MuslimswhoadoptedChristianstoriesaboutthe secondcomingof Jesus,triedtomanipulatethe meaningof several verses,suchas 43:61 and 4:159. For the correct meaningof these versesyoucanlookat "Quran, The Final Testament" translated by Dr. Rashad Khalifa, IslamicProductions, Tucson, 1989. a) If Jesus comes back, as you claim, will he accept the Quranic verses that state "Jesus is a prophet"? b) If Jesus will come back as a prophet, then how can Muhammad be the last prophet? c) What is your opinion on a hadith which claims that when Jesus comes, he will make some unlawful things lawful(Bukhary: 34/102; 46/31). Do you believe in this hadith? What about the verse 5:3 which states that God has completed the religion by the Quran? d) How will you recognize Jesus? Will he show the same miracles that he showed before? e) Which place will be Jesus' airport; the white minaret in Damascus, or Bagdad, or Mecca?
  • 26. QUESTION 16 What Is The Crucial Age? What isthe age of responsibility?If achilddiesatthe age of 12, withoutevenhearingaboutGod,doesthischildgoto Heavenor Hell?Whatif the childis15 yearsold,or 21, or 25? Atwhat age will the human beingbe heldresponsible for hisor her beliefs?Thisquestionhasalways puzzledresearchersof all religions. However,the Quransetsthe age of religiousresponsibilityat40; any one whodiesbefore thisage will gotoHeaven: "We enjoined the human being to honor his parents. His mother bore him arduously, gave birth to him arduously, and took intimate care of him for thirty months. When he reaches maturity, and reaches the age of forty, he should say, "My Lord, direct me to appreciate the blessings You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and to work righteousness that pleases You. Let my children be righteous as well. I have repented to You; I am now a submitter."(46:15) If the personbelievedinGodand benefitedfrombelief bynourishinghis orhersoul,he or she goesto the HighHeaven. Otherwise,the persongoes tothe LowerHeaven. Your firstreactionto thispiece of informationisobjection:"Whatif the personwasreallybad,evil,andanatheist,will he go to Heavenif he diedbefore the age of 40?" This isbecause youare mean,while Godisthe Most Merciful.Our tendencyisto"put theminHell". People whoobjectedstronglytothisDivinemercycannot come upwitha cut-off age of responsibility.Theyaskquestions like,"Whatif the person wasreallywicked?"The answeris,"DoesGodknow thatthispersonwas wicked?""Yes.""Does God knowthat thispersondoesnotdeserve togoto Heaven?""Yes.""Therefore thispersonwill notdie before the age of 40." Assimple asthat. God isthe onlyone who terminatesourlives.He knows exactlywhodeservestogoto Heavenand whodeservestogoto Hell. a) What is the age of responsibility according toyour sect? b) If a sixteenyear oldchilddies as a Christian, does he or she go to Hell? c) Why do you not accept the Quranic decree about the age of responsibility? QUESTION 17 How Do You Pronounce "Shahadah"? All God's messengers deliveredthe same message:"Youshall notworship anybodybutGod."Throughoutthe Quran,the mostimportantsubjectis worshipingGodalone.More thana hundred timesQuranrepeatsthistheme. "Laelaahaellaa Allah"and"La elaahaellaHu" (Nogodexcept He) occur in the Quran more than thirtytimes.Nowhere inthe Qurancan youfindany othernamesattachedto thisimportantphrase. The Quran statesthe firstpillarof submission: "Godbears witnessthat there isno other god besidesHim,and so do the angels and those who possessknowledge." (3:18)
  • 27. Thismost crucial pillarhasbeendistorted.Millionsof MuslimshaveadoptedSatan'spolytheisticversion,andinsistupon mentioningthe nameofMuhammadbesidesthe name of God.However,the Quran'sgreatcriterionin 39:45 exposessuch people asdisbelievers: "WhenGodALONE is mentioned,the heartsof those who do not believe inthe Hereaftershrink withaversion. But whenothers are mentionedbesidesHim, theyrejoice." (39:45) a) Why do you feel the needto add the name of Muhammad when you announce the oneness of God? b) Why whenever the Quranmentions the oneness of God, it never mentions any name besides "God";not evenonce!? c) The Quran entails Muhammadand other messengers. Thenwhy do you not say that "There is no god except the One God, and the Quran is His book"? d) How many times did you say that "There is no god except the One God, and Moses (or Salih, or Jesus ...) is His messenger"? Why doyou make distinctionamong messengers? e) Did Jesus remove the name of Moses from"shahadah" and put his name next toGod? Did Muhammad remove the name of Jesus from "shahadah" and put his name next to God? Do you think that all messengers triedtocorrect the "shahadah"in this way? Why do we not see any discussiononchanging the secondhalf of your shahadah in the Quran? f) Is Muhammad other than God or not? If he is other than God, why do you not think that you are addressedby 39:45? g) Do you think that idol worshipers accept the fact that they are idol worshipers? Why do you not reflect on6:23? h) Books which are a mixture of truthand falsehoodsometimes expose the truth. For instance, according toa hadith in Tirmizi, Salat 26 and Nasai, Adhan4, the prophet taught the Adhan as 19 words. But in your Adhan you have 24 words. Why do you contradict your own teachings? If you remove your additioni.e. "Ashadu anna Muhammadan Rasul Allah"from Adhan, the remaining words are 19. Is this a coincidence?
  • 28. QUESTION 18 What About Religious Practices? Contact prayersare decreedat specifictimes(4:104).The DawnPrayer(24:58), the NoonPrayer(17:78), the Afternoon Prayer(2:238), the SunsetPrayer(11:114),and the NightPrayer(24:58) ismentionedspecificallyin the Quran.

AndMuhammad was a followerofAbraham (16:123). Due to a general unawarenessof the fact that Abrahamwasthe original messengerof Submission,manyso-called Muslimschallenge God:"If the Quraniscomplete andfullydetailed(asclaimedbyGod),where canwe find the number of unitsineachcontact prayer (Salat)?"Onthe otherhand,God tellsusthatall the religiouspracticesof Submissionwere already establishedbefore the Quran'srevelation(8:35; 9:54; 16:123; 21:73; 22:27; 28:27). All the messengersafter Abrahampracticedfive daily contactprayers,obligatorycharity,andfasting(2:43;3:43; 11:87; 19:31,59; 20:14).

Verse 16:123 isdirectproof that all religiouspracticesinIslamwere intactwhenMuhammadwasborn.Thus, he was enjoinedto"followthe religionof Abraham."If Iask youto buy a color TV,it isassumedthat you know whata colorTV is. Similarly,whenGodenjoinedMuhammadto follow the practicesof Abraham (16:123), such practicesmusthave been well known. There isno dispute concerningthe numberof unitsinall five daily prayers.Thisprovesthe divinepreservationof Salat. The Quran's mathematical code confirmsthe numberof unitsinthe five prayers2, 4, 4, 3, and 4 respectively.For example,the number24434 is a multiple of 19. The Quran dealsonlywithpracticesthatwere distorted.Forexample,the distortedablutionisrestoredin5:6 to its original foursteps.The tone of voice duringthe contactprayerswas distorted,andthiswascorrected inthe Quran, 17:110. The fastingduringRamadanwasmodifiedin2:187 to allow intercourse duringthe night.Zakat,the obligatory charity,is restoredin6:141, andHajj isrestoredto the correct monthsin9:2,5. a) Did Muhammad followthe religionofAbraham? Did Abraham practice contact prayers, fasting,charity and pilgrimage?Whatis your proof that Abraham practiced those ritualsdifferentlythanMuhammad? b) Did not Moses,Salih,Jesus observe the Salat? c) Whydo you distortthe meaningof 8:35? "Theircontact prayers (Salat) at the shrine (Kabah) were no more than a mockery and a meansof repelling others..." Whydoyou claim that Meccan idol worshiperswere not familiarwith the contact prayers, fasting,pilgrimage,etc.?(9:54; 2:199). d) According to God how many stepsare requiredforablution?What about Hanafiy, Shafiiyand other sects? e) Whichone nullifiesablution;bleedingortouchinga woman'shand? Whatdoes Quran states on this subject? f) Whydo you disobey17:110 by recitingQuran silentlyindailycontact prayers? g) Whydo you mentionMuhammad'sname in the contact prayers? Whydo you not obey20:14 and 72:18? h) Whydo you delaythe charity by stating that one is not requiredto give charity ifhe did not holdhis savings one full year?Why do you disobey God'scommand in6:141?
  • 29. i) Whydo you cramp millionsofpilgrimsin one day, while Godhas givenus four months for this duty? (2:197) j) Quran condemnsidol worshiperswho change the sacred months(9:37), which are consecutive (9:2,5). Whydo you distort the Sacred Months? k) Whydo you decree a punishmentof60 straight days of fastingfor one l) nullifieddayof fasting?(2:184). QUESTION 19 Can You See The Mathematical Miracle? "Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe" (Galileo) Chapter74 of the Quran,God's Final Testament,isdedicatedtothe number 19.The name of that chapter is"Al- Muddassir"(The HiddenSecret).The number19is specificallymentionedinthatChapterasa punishmentfor those who state that the scripture ishuman-made (74:25),and proclaims thatthe 19 is"One of the greatest"(74:35). In 74:31, the purpose of the number19 isspelledout:toremove all doubtregardingthe authenticityof the Quran,increase the faith of the believers,andtobe a scientificpunishmentforhypocritesanddisbelievers.However,the implicationof this numberas a proof for the authenticityof the Quranremainedunknown forcenturies.Forfourteencenturies,the commentatorstriedinvainto understandthe functionandfulfilmentof the number19. In 1974, the Lord of the universe unveiled the secretof number19 to Dr. RashadKhalifa,anEgyptian-American biochemist.Hisfour-yearlongcomputerizedstudyonthe Qurandidnot have any expectedtarget. Surprisingly,he discoveredthe mathematicallyintertwinedstructure by "chance."Thismultifoldinterlockedmathematical design isa message in universal language.Thismessage,providing abuilt-inphysical evidence of itsdivine source,leavesnodoubtin our heartthat the Quran is The Final Testament. Before the Secret is Decoded Before the discoveryof 19-basedsystem,we knew asymmetrical mathematical systeminthe Quran.Forexample: a) © The word "month" (shahr) occurs 12 times. b) © The word "day" (yawm) occurs 365 times. c) © The word "days" (ayyam,yewmeyn) occurs30 times. d) © The words "satan" (shaytan) and "angel" (malak),both occur 88 times. e) © The words "this world" (dunya) and "hereafter" (ahirah),bothoccur 115 times. Simple to Understand, Impossible to Imitate The mathematical structure of the Final Testamentissimple tounderstand andimpossibletoimitate.Youdonot needto knowArabic,the original language of the Quranto examine itforyourself.Basicallywhatyouneed istobe able to count upto19. Dr. Khalifaintroducesthissupernatural message asfollows:
  • 30. The Quran is characterizedbya unique phenomenonneverfoundinanyhuman authoredbook.Everyelementof the Quran ismathematicallycomposed-thechapters,the verses,the words,the number of certainletters,the number of wordsfromthe same root,the numberandvarietyof divine names,the unique spellingof certainwords,andmanyother elementsof the Quranbesidesitscontent.There are twomajorfacetsof the Quran'smathematical system: (1) The mathematical literarycomposition,and (2) The mathematical structure involvingthe numbersof chapters and verses.Because of this comprehensive mathematical coding,the slightestdistortionof the Quran's text or physical arrangementis immediatelyexposed (Quran The Final Testament, Translated by Rashad Khalifa, IslamicProductions, Tucson, 1989, p 609). Nineteen,asthe mathematical code of the Quran, isa challenge foratheists, an invitationfor agnostics and a guidance for believers.Itis a perpetual miracle for the computer generation. It is the lightof the morningpromisedby God Almighty(74:33). Physical, Examinable Divine Proof Here is the summaryof thishistorical discovery: (1) © The first verse,i.e.,the openingstatement"Bismillahirrahmanirrahim", shortly"Basmalah," consistsof19 Arabic letters. (2) © The first word of Basmalah, Ism (name) occurs in the Quran 19 times. (3) © The second word of Basmalah, Allah (God) occurs 2698 times,or 19x142. (4) © The third word ofBasmalah, Rahman (Gracious) occurs 57 times,or 19x3. (5) © The fourth word ofBasmalah, Rahim (Merciful) occurs114 times,or 19x6. Althoughthisphenomenon(theopeningstatementconsistsof 19 letters,and eachwordoccurs in multiple of 19) representsaminute portionof the code,itwasdescribedbyMartinGardner inthe ScientificAmericanas "ingenious" (September,1981, p. 22-24) (1) © The multiplicationfactors of the words of the Basmalah (1+142+3+6) add up to 152 or 19x8. (2) © The Quran consistsof 114 chapters, whichis 19x6. (3) © The total numberof versesin the Quran includingall Basmalahs is 6346, or 19x334. If you add the digitsof that number,6+3+4+6 equals19. (4) © The Basmalah occurs 114 times,(despite itsconspicuousabsence from chapter 9, it occurs twice inchapter 27) and 114 is 19x6. (5) © From the missingBasmalah of chapter 9 to the extra Basmalah of chapter 27, there are precisely19 chapters. (6) © It followsthat the sum of the chapter numbersfrom 9 to 27 (9+10+11+12.......+26+27) is 342. This total (342) also equalsthe numberof words betweenthe two Basmalahs of chapter 27, and 342 equals19x18. (7) © The occurrence of the extraBasmalah is in 27:30. The number of the chapter and the verse add up to 57, or 19x3. (8) © Each letterof the Arabic alphabet correspondsto a numberaccording to theiroriginal sequence inthe alphabet. The Arabs were using this systemfor calculations. Whenthe Quran was revealed14 centuriesago, the numbers known today did not exist.A universal system was usedwhere the lettersof the Arabic, Hebrew,Aramaic, and Greekalphabetswere used as numerals.The number assignedto each letteris its "Gematrical Value." The numerical valuesof the Arabic alphabet are shown below: A studyon the gematrical valuesof about 200 attributesof Godwhichare mentionedinthe Quran,showsthatonlyfour nameshave gematrical values whichare multiplesof 19. These are "Wahid"(One),"Zul Fadl al Azim" (Possessorof Infinite Grace),"Majid" (Glorous),"Jaami"(Summoner).Their gematrical valueare 19 , 2698, 57, and 114 respectively,whichare all divisible by19 and correspondexactlytothe frequenciesof occurrence of the Basmalah'sfourwords.
  • 31. 1. © The total numbersof verseswhere the word Allah(God) occurs add up to 118123, and is 19x6217. 2. © The total occurrencesof the word Allah(God) in all the verseswhose numbers are multiplesof19 is 133, or 19x7. 3. © The first revelation(96:1-5) consists of 19 words. 4. © This19-worded first revelationconsistsof 76 letters,19x4. 5. © Chapter96, first in the chronological sequence,consistsof19 verses. 6. © Thisfirst chronological chapter isplaced ahead of the last 19 chapters. 7. © Chapter96 consistsof 304 Arabic letters,19x16. 8. © The last revelation,chapter110, consists of 19 verses. 9. © The first verse of the last revelationconsistsof 19 letters. 10. © The word "the Quran" occurs 57 times,or 19x3. (The word in 10:15 isa differentQuran,so it is not counted) 11. © The key commandment: "Youshall devote your worship to God alone" (in Arabic "Wahdahu") occurs in7:70; 39:45; 40:12,84; and 60:4. The total of these numbersadds up to 361, or 19x19. 12. © The Quran is characterizedby a unique phenomenonthat isnot foundin any other book: 29 chapters are prefixedwith"Quranic Initials" which remainedmysteriousfor 1406 years. Withthe discoveryof the code 19 , we realizedtheirmajor role in the Quran's mathematical structure. The initialsoccur intheir respective chapters in multiplesof19. For example,Chapter19 has five lettersinits beginning,K.H.Y.A'.SS.,and the total occurrence ofthese lettersin this chapter is 798, or 19x42. 13. © To witnessthe detailsofthe miracle of these initials,a short chapter which beginswithone initial,letter"Q" will be a good example.The frequencyof "Q" in chapter 50 is 57, or 19x3. The letter"Q" occurs in the other Q- initialedchapter,i.e.,chapter 42, exactly the same number of times,57. The total occurrence of the letter"Q" in the two Q-initialedchaptersis114, whichequals the number of chapters inthe Quran. "The Quran" is mentionedinthe Quran 57 times. The descriptionof the Quran as "Majid" (Glorious) iscorrelatedwiththe frequencyof occurrence of the letter"Q" in each of the Q-initialedchapters.The word "Majid" has a gematrical value of 57. Chapter 42 consists of 53 verses,and 42+53 is 95, or 19x5. Chapter50 consistsof 45 verses,and 50+45 is 95, or 19x5. The numberof Q's inall ver-sesnumbered"19" throughout the Quran is76, or 19x4. 14. © The Quran mentions30 differentnumbers:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 19, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 99, 100, 200, 300, 1000, 2000, 3000, 5000, 50000, & 100000. The sum of these numbersis 162146, which equals 19x8534. 15. © Ifwe write down the number of eachverse inthe Quran, one nextto the other, precededbythe number of versesin each chapter, the resultinglong numberconsists of 12692 digits(19x668). Additionally, the huge numberitselfis also a multiple of19. The detailsof thisstudyisendless.Keepingupwiththe new discoveries isachallengingtask. In the Original of The Old Testament Is thismathematical structure uniquetothe Quran?For a while we thougtso.But,we were wrong.The same 19-based mathematical compositionwas discoveredbyRabbi Judahinthe 12th centuryAD ina preservedpartof the Old Testament.Evidently,the primenumber19is the signiture of God,the GreatestMatematician. Belowis the copyfrom StudiesInJewishMysticism: "The people (Jews) inFrance made ita customto add (inthe morn ing prayer) the words: Ashrei temimei derekh (blessedare those whowalkthe righteousway), andourRabbi,the Pious,of blessedmemory,wrote thattheywere completelyandutterlywrong.Itisall grossfalsehood,be cause there are onlynineteentimesthatthe HolyName is mentioned(inthat portionof the morningprayer),... and similarlyyoufindthe word Elohimnineteentimesinthe peri cope of Ve- ellehshemot... . Similarly,youfindthatIsrael were called sons nineteentimes,and there are manyotherexamples.Allthese setsof nineteenare intricately intertwined,andtheycontainmanysecretsandesotericmeanings,which are containedinmore than eightvolumes.Therefore,anyone whohasthe fearof God in himwill notlistentothe wordsof the Frenchmenwho add the verse Ashrei temimeiderekh(blessedare those whowalkinthe paths of God s Torah, for accordingto their

(Dan,Joseph.StudiesInJewishMysticism, AssociationforJewishStudies. Cambridge,Massachusetts:1978, p 88.) How can we Explain This Phenomenon? There are primarilyfourpossible explanations: o Manipulation:You may be skeptical about our data regarding the mathematical structure of Quran. However,you can eliminate thisoptionin several hours by random checking ofour detailedcomputer print out. We have publishedtheminseveral books and they can be obtainedfrom the Monotheist Production International. o Coincidence:Thispossibilityiseliminatedbythe statistical probabilitylaws. The consistencyand frequencyof the 19-based pattern is much too overwhelmingtooccur coincidentally. o Human fabrication:While fabricatinga literarywork that meetsthe criteria of the document summarizedhere is a stunningchallenge forourcomputer generation,it iscertainly improbable for the time of initiationof the document, namely,610 AD. One more fact augments the improbabilityof human fabrication. If a certain personor personshad fabricated this literarywork, theywould want to reap the fruitsof their efforts;they would have braggedabout it. In viewof the originality,complexity,andmathematical sophisticationof thiswork,we have toadmitthat it isingenious. However,noone hasever claimedcreditforthisunique literarycode;the code wasneverknown priortothe computer decodingaccomplishedbyDr.Khalifa.Therefore itis reasonabletoexclude the possibilityof humanfabrication. The timingof the discoverymaybe consideredanotherevidence forthe existence andfull control of SupremeBeing:The mysteryof the number19 whichismentionedas"one of the greatestevents"inthe chapter74 (The HiddenSecret) was unveiledexactly1406 (19x74) lunaryearsafterthe revelationof the Quran.Dr. Khalifadiscoveredthe code 19 in1974. The connectionbetween19 and74 (the numberof the chapterwhichthiscode is mentioned) issignificantinthe timing of the discovery.  Super IntelligentSource:The only remainingpossibilityisthat a super intelligentsource isresponsible for this document;one who designedthe work in thisextraordinary manner, thenmanaged to keepit a well guarded secretfor 14 centuries, for a predeterminedtime. The mathematical code ensuresthatthe source issuperintelligentandalso thatthe documentisperfectlyintact. It is not a Dream Anymore The followingexcerptsare fromthe famousastronomerandscience-fictionwriterCarl Sagan'sbook: "No,don't you see?Thiswould be different.Thisisn'tjust starting the universe out with some precise mathematical laws that determine physicsand chemistry. This isa message.Whoevermakesthe universe hidesmessagesin transcendental numbersso they'll be read fifteenbillionyearslaterwhen intelligentlife finallyevolves.Icriticizedyou and Rankin the time we first met for not understandingthis.'If Godwanted us to know that he existed,why didn'the sendus an unambiguousmessage?' Iasked. Remember?" "I rememberverywell.You thinkGod is a mathematician."
  • 33. "Somethinglike that. If what we're told istrue. If this isn'ta wild-goose chase.If there'sa message hidingin pi and not one of the infinityofother transcendental numbers.That's a lot of ifs." "You're lookingforRevelationin arithmetic.I know a betterway." "Palmer,thisis the only way. This is the only thing that would convince a skeptic. Imagine we findsomething.It doesn'thave to be tremendously complicated.Just somethingmore orderly than could accumulate by chance that many digits intopi. That's all we need.Thenmathematiciansall over the world can findexactly the same pattern or message or whatever it provesto be.Then there are no sectarian divisions.Everybodybeginsreadingthe same Scripture. Noone could thenargue that the key miracle in the religionwas some conjurer'strick, or that later historianshad falsifiedthe record,or that it'sjust hysteria or delusionor a substitute parent for when we grow up. Everyone could be a believer." (Carl Sagan,Contact, Simon & Schuster,New York,1985, p 418-419) Eerily,almosteverythingexactlyhasbeenhappeningaccordingtoCarl Sagan's predictionwithanexceptionthatthe code of the divine messageisnotpi,itisa peculiarprime number.Alsothe laststatementseemstobe toooptimistic,atleast for the time being.Alreadymillionsof Muslims have rejectedthe mathematical code basedonthe presuppositionthat the Creator of the universe won'temploymathematicsinhisbook.And born-againChristiansare readytocoin itas Anti Christ. However,thismathematicallycodedmessagepromisesanew erainthe world of religions.Itdoesnotonlyprovidean examinableevidence forthe existenceof God, italsoexpose the widespreadcorruptionplaguedall the organized religions.Thismathematical code suggests(asitispublishedin ournumerousbooks) a"Copernicanrevolution"in theologyof religions. Instead ofKrishna-centered,orJesus-centered,orMuhammad-centeredreligionswe mustturn to the original center, to the God-centeredmodel. They Cannot see the Miracle The "learnedMuslimscholars"cannotunderstandoracceptthisclear mathematical composition.Indeed,the verse74:31 propheciesthat hypocriteswill notbe able tounderstandthismiracle.Alsothe verse 7:146 describesthose peoplewho are deprivedof seeingthe miracle: I will divert from My revelationsthose who are arrogant on earth, without justification.Consequently,whentheysee everykind of miracle they will not believe.Andwhentheysee the path of guidance theywill not adopt it as theirpath, but when theysee the path of straying they will adopt it as theirpath. This is the consequence oftheirrejectingour revelations, andof beingtotally heedlessthereof.(7:146)  Are all ofthose mathematical facts coincidences?  How many lettersare there in the openingstatementofthe Quran i.e., Basmalah? Whydo your ancient scholars (FahreddinerRazi, Qurtubi etc.) who countedthe lettersof Basmalah agree on 19 letters?Whyafter the discoveryof the miracle do you refute your respected ancient scholars?  786 isthe gematrical value of Basmalah usedby Muslimsto representthe Basmalah. How many lettersdoes this famous number represent?  Whydo you fail in countingthe 19 lettersof Basmalah whichis a very simple and very obviousphysical fact?  AlmightyGod in74:31 givesus a list of functionsof the number "19". This iswhat "19" will do:
