Messenger Audio 19.2 (10-Dec-1982)

(0:00) Perfect. You just look around this mosque anytime. (0:06) Even the one person who came with one leg, remember what was his name? He healed, Felix. (0:13) He left with two legs. So God designed this, the creation, and the creation of the heavens and (0:20) the earth are enough signs for God. Now after you chop the carrots, where would they go? They go (0:25) to grinders. You see how Adam designed the grinders? They're flat. The front teeth are designed like (0:34) scissors. They go just like scissors, they cut. Then they go to the grinders to make it fine, (0:43) then you swallow. Now in the swallowing process here, you take it for granted, don't you? (0:50) But when you swallow, the air pipe is blocked first. You see the movement in there? There's (0:58) a sealing of the air pipes so the food will go to the stomach, not to the lungs. (1:02) You take this for granted, don't you? But God designed it, and you don't control it. And this (1:10) is what it means that everything in the heavens and the earth glorifies God, because even the (1:14) disbeliever glorifies God. Because when the disbeliever swallows, his system is working (1:20) according to God's will. The air pipe is blocked and the digestive tract is open. The disbeliever's (1:32) heart pumps, and he has no control over it. Can you stop your heart for a second? Can you slow it down, (1:41) or make it faster? So this is what it means that everything in the heavens and the earth glorifies (1:49) God. So in the creation of the heavens and the earth, I can go on and on as you see, the alternation (1:57) of night and day, one of my favorite subjects. You saw the picture of the earth today? (2:06) And the spaceship happened to be between the sun and the earth, so they took a picture of (2:10) the illuminated side, the deviated illuminated side of the earth, and the other side was night. (2:21) Now the earth is turning, and there's alteration of night and day, because it implies the earth is (2:27) round, it is hanging in space. Who is holding it in space? Now how can the people avoid believing (2:35) in God when they think about this? This is what means overwhelming signs of God. The axis of the earth (2:45) is designed to create the seasons, which controls what kind of plants we grow, what kind of (2:53) crops, what kind of food, what else as far as the speed of rotation of the earth controls how many (3:06) how many hours we have in the day, I mean day and night, and the speed is accurate. We know exactly (3:14) what time the sun will rise 200 years from now, in a specific locality. It's so accurate they could (3:20) predict where another planet was that they could never see, like the discovery of Neptune? They had (3:26) never seen Neptune if the mathematical laws are so precise, they turned their telescope where they (3:30) calculated and there it was. That's how accurate. The whole balance of the solar system. (3:37) Now they do it by laser beam bouncing back. The whole balance of the solar system is one, (3:42) if it was one second slower or one second faster, it would be out of balance. This reminds me that (3:47) the latest distance they measured was four billion light years. They saw an object that is four (3:56) billion light years away, which means if that object was destroyed, died four billion years ago, (4:05) we'll still see the light coming. Now four billion light years, you know you're traveling at the (4:14) speed of light for four thousand million years to get there, and that's within the small universe. (4:27) So the alternation of night and day implies a lot of information that tells us how great God is. (4:37) The ships that roam the sea for the benefit of mankind. Water is a crazy liquid (4:46) that has the physicists puzzled, because things float, things float on the water, (4:55) not an alcohol or kerosene or... (4:59) Water has crazy properties. University of California, I took that course (5:04) at the University of California, the title is Water. It has the physics, (5:11) physical chemistry, and chemistry of water, because it's unique. It's something that God did (5:17) that makes the ships float in the water, makes you float in the water, (5:23) unless you do something to drown, you stand still, you float in the water. Also makes it evaporate (5:32) and then go to a certain height and hang up there, see the clouds come up, (5:38) coming up, the clouds hanging between the earth and the sky. So they cool down and (5:46) condense again into pure water. All these are designs, the water that God sends down (5:58) to revive dead lands. I was just talking today about desert plants. Did you know that the seeds (6:10) of desert plants will not germinate unless a specific amount of rain falls? (6:17) The mechanism of it is there's an inhibitor around the seeds that is water-soluble, (6:23) and you have to have a certain amount of water fall on it and wash the inhibitor away. (6:27) So this guarantees a reservoir of water for the plant, for the seed. The seed will not germinate (6:34) unless a specific amount of water falls in the desert. Who designed all this? (6:47) But if the person makes a decision that they do not believe in God, they will not see any of this, (6:53) as we know from the Quran. The manipulation of the winds, if the wind was standing still (7:04) for three or four months, the whole life will end. We need the wind because you know where all (7:12) the water coming from? All these clouds come from the Pacific ocean or the Atlantic, because it's (7:21) driven by the wind, otherwise we wouldn't be here, there'd be no water in the underground. (7:27) And you know how they panic in Tucson when the rain is late or something, they have all those (7:33) beat-the-peak programs, they panic. (7:40) So you can imagine if there's no wind, there'll be no Tucson. The manipulation of the wind, pardon? (7:49) That's right, it'll be not even a ghost town, it wouldn't start to become gold. (7:55) The clouds placed between the heavens and the earth, all these are signs for people who understand. (8:02) Now the idol worshippers are disowned by their idols, 165. Yet some people set up idols besides (8:11) God and adore them as if they were God. However, the believers love God more than anything else. (8:22) If only the wrongdoers could envision themselves when they face the retribution, (8:27) they will find out that all power belongs to God alone, and that God is very strict with them (8:33) in imposing retribution, those who were followed will disown their followers. (8:39) They will suffer the retribution, and all help to them will be severed. (8:44) The followers will then say, if we could live our first life again, we will then disown them as (8:50) they disown us now. Thus will God show them the consequences of their works as nothing but sorrow. (8:59) They will never exit from hell. Now, these verses are actually written in the past tense in the (9:22) Arabic, so I guess in the next edition I will make this in the past tense. And they were in the past (9:27) tense because God is telling us something that actually took place in our future. God witnessed (9:33) it, and he's telling us what happened between the idols and the idol worshippers. And we saw today (9:42) the insignificance of the idols, whether it is Muhammad or Jesus or Mary or Saint Francis or (9:48) whatever. The things that the people idolize. The newspaper actually has prayers to send Jude (10:01) for certain things. Today, I mean in the newspapers in this day. (10:08) Yeah, in the personals. Two days ago this lady wrote to Anne Landers saying that she just, (10:15) she made a mistake investing her mother's life savings, and she was praying to Mary and (10:27) Saint Jude. And the title was, the Virgin and Saint Jude will not help you. That was the (10:34) title by Anne Landers. Now, so we saw today the insignificance of the idols. We saw the picture (10:43) of the earth and how big those people were, Muhammad or Mary or Jesus. Now we have to imagine (10:52) the day of judgment, because that day will come. And the people will run to Jesus, for example, (10:59) and tell him, are you going to help us? And he'll say, what are you talking about? I need help myself. (11:09) Because he will be a subject to the judgment. I think we are, just like all of us. As a matter of (11:15) fact, all of us will go, we'll see hell first. Initially, so that we appreciate heaven inshallah when (11:21) we get there. But we must imagine that what these verses are telling us, that the people will (11:29) go to their idols, they will go to Muhammad. You heard about the myth of intercession of Muhammad. (11:35) They will go, will you intercede on our behalf? And he's going to tell them, sorry, I have no power, (11:43) I'm worried about my own neck. Like surah 21 tells us, that the prophets will be worried about their (11:48) fate. This is what these verses are telling us. This is what the Bible is saying in Matthew 7:23, (11:57) if you want to see it, 7:23. Matthew 7:23 says that the people will go to Jesus on the day of (12:03) judgment and tell him, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? Have we not performed (12:08) miracles in your name? Have we not glorified your name? Etc, etc. And Jesus will say, (12:13) away out of my sight, I don't know you. So in other words, he will disown them. (12:19) You just listen to the preachers on the TV and the radio and see how much glorification of Jesus they are doing. (12:27) So Satan succeeded in diverting their attention from God to Jesus. And Satan did the same trick (12:34) with the Muslims, diverting their attention from God to Muhammad. They're all human beings and (12:41) they're all subject to Satan's tricks. So these verses here are telling us that the idols will (12:49) disown the worshippers. These verses are actually identical.
