(1:47) And what do we know clearly that Adam has disobeyed God and evicted from the heavens. (2:04) And similarly, Shaitan disobeyed God by not prostrating in front of the Adam as he was evicted from the heavens. (2:21) But the contrast here is that Shaitan told Allah, He said, (2:41) My Lord, since it is Your will that I go astray, I will entice them to disobey You on earth and You will set them off. (2:59) So, Shaitan's purpose was, on this earth, since he got his respite from God, (3:16) he will, his job is to try to take us away from the path that you have chosen. (3:32) Now, the importance of this, all our purposes on this earth is to submit to Allah and only job you have to do here is to submit yourself alone. (4:09) God says in 1685, He said, We did not create the heavens and the earth and everything between them except for a purpose. (4:30) The hour is surely coming, so treat them with benign nature. (4:40) And in 1886, the Lord and all nations prayed to Him. (4:47) And in 1551-56, I have not created the jinn and the humans except to worship Me alone. (4:59) And in 57, I do not need any provision from them nor do I need them to feed Me. (5:08) So, anything we do is just for ourselves. (5:16) And our purpose on this earth is to worship Allah alone, with no partner. (5:32) Let's elaborate this a little bit more. (5:47) Here is Surah 49, verses between 1 and 10. (5:54) It says that, Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim, (5:58) This is the revealed scripture from God, the Almighty, the Wise. (6:03) We have revealed to you this scripture truthfully. (6:08) Accordingly, we shall worship God alone. (6:11) And we won't worship in your worship. (6:14) Absolutely forget. (6:16) To God alone shall we worship. (6:19) Those who set up idols beside Him say, (6:23) We idolize them to bring us closer to God. (6:26) God is their judge. (6:28) We feed them regarding their disputes. (6:31) God never guides a liar and disbeliever. (6:34) Which God wants to get rid of. (6:38) Now, we know that from these verses, (6:42) our purpose is to worship God alone, (6:45) and disregard anything that attributed to guidance, (6:51) which is supposedly Hadith and Sunnah, (6:56) that brings diversity and dispute among us. (7:02) Therefore, our sole guidance is the Quran. (7:20) And the second thing is that, (7:23) we have to maintain righteousness toward Allah. (7:30) And it's been explained in verse number 10. (7:33) Say to My servants who believe, (7:36) You shall maintain righteousness toward your Lord, (7:39) Those who are pious in this life, (7:42) You give them credit therefore. (7:45) And God's earth is spacious, (7:48) And steadfast, (7:49) You will fully retain without fail. (7:59) And the verses in Surah Al-Gafir, (8:14) in 10 and 12 says, (8:18) Those who disbelieve will be told, (8:22) God's affluence toward you is even greater than your affluence toward yourself. (8:28) Because we were invited to believe, (8:30) but we choose to disbelieve. (8:34) They will say, (8:35) Our Lord, (8:37) He has given us two deaths and two lives. (8:40) We now confess our sins. (8:43) Is there any way out today? (8:46) This is because when you are invited to worship, (8:49) let alone you disbelieve. (8:53) When God says, (8:54) Submit yourself, (8:55) they say, (8:56) You cannot be without Hadith, (8:58) or without His saying for the prophets. (9:03) And they are in trouble. (9:08) When God says, (9:10) But when idols were mentioned besides Him, (9:13) you believed. (9:14) Alas, the judgment has been decreed by God. (9:17) The most exalted is great. (9:22) Let's read 83 and 85. (9:27) It says, (9:31) Evil satisfaction with inherited knowledge. (9:34) When their message is left to them with clear revelation, (9:39) they were satisfied with the knowledge they had. (9:43) The very things they rejected caused their doom. (9:48) Then, when they saw our retribution, (9:51) they say, (9:52) Now we believe in God alone, (9:55) and we reject the idols we have set up. (9:58) But alas, their belief is no longer useful. (10:02) Once they see our retribution, (10:06) this is God's system that is never changeable. (10:09) The disbelievers are always losers. (10:16) Sadaqallahul Aliyyul Azim. (10:19) Jazikat. (10:34) Alhamdulillah. (10:37) In the first part of the Quran, (10:39) we try to present some of the knowledge from the Quran (10:45) that has given us an opportunity to talk about God alone, (10:50) without any process, without setting any idols. (10:54) The second part that I was trying to link (10:59) and to give some of my understandings (11:10) is that we have to realize that the earth is just like a space ship. (11:19) Now, when we set the satellite or the space ship off of the earth, (11:27) we give everything we provide. (11:30) Just as if it's one of the human beings or any human system can function. (11:36) The earth, everything is provided by God, (11:40) and everything is given by God, (11:43) and we have to explore and utilize what we find for our purposes. (11:53) But, when we have sent the heavenly send from the heaven, (12:00) just because of disobedience to God, (12:06) to force him to come here, (12:09) as Dr. Khalifa said, (12:11) in order to make heaven, we have to be disobedient. (12:18) By the same token, (12:21) the shaitan's purpose is just to not prostrate in front of others, (12:27) to show he is not to accept the order of God. (12:38) And the significance of this is that in the Quran also says that (12:44) there are seven heavens, seven universes, and there are seven earths, (12:49) and they have a living system over there just like us, (12:59) and they will be tested. (13:02) So, my feeling is that in the same parallel, (13:11) if the others should have the same kind of the shaitan, (13:17) to divert them from the right path. (13:22) So, this means all the angels that work with God (13:28) has to have very conscious cognition like us, (13:35) and they have to test like us. (13:38) Now, they have a test with the presence of God physically, (13:45) we have a test with the knowledge of God given by the scriptures. (13:53) And it is very significant. (13:54) And probably, this is the reason the angels, the shaitan, (14:01) was punished more severely than Adam. (14:19) So, therefore, we know that God is Almighty, He is One, (14:28) and the only duty we have to fulfill is to submit to Him alone, (14:34) and follow His guidance. (14:37) And once we have submitted ourselves, we say our ego is being killed, (14:46) then we are ready to be obedient to Him, (14:52) and to follow His path. (14:56) Inshallah, Allah will make us His sincere believers, (15:02) and following His pathway, (15:08) and Inshallah, we will be... (15:38) Inshallah. (16:09) Hi. (16:11) Hi. (16:25) Hey, what are you doing? (16:31) Shh. (16:38) Hmm? (17:04) Our family, Allah, the One God, (17:10) there is no God except You, (17:12) the Living, the Eternal. (17:13) You revealed to me these scriptures, (17:17) truthfully, and from the previous scriptures, (17:20) just as You revealed the Torah and the Gospels, (17:23) previously to God's people. (17:26) You revealed the sacred book. (17:28) Those who disbelieve in God's revelation (17:31) have deserved terrible retribution. (17:34) God is Almighty, O God. (17:36) Nothing is ever concealed from God, (17:39) on earth or in the heavens. (17:41) He is the One who shapes you inside the womb as He wills. (17:46) There is no God except He, (17:48) the Almighty, the One. (17:50) He is the One who reveals to you these scriptures, (17:54) the perfect verses that must be taken literally, (17:57) for they constitute the essence of the scriptures. (18:01) Other verses are allegorical. (18:04) Those who harbor doubt in their hearts (18:07) dwell over allegorical verses, (18:09) which create confusion and misrepresentation. (18:16) There are... (18:18) No one knows the correct interpretation. (18:22) There are except God (18:23) and those well-founded in knowledge. (18:27) They say, (18:28) we believe in all the revelations. (18:30) They all come from our Lord. (18:33) Indeed, only those who possess intelligence (18:35) will take heed. (18:37) Our Lord, (18:38) let not our hearts falter (18:40) after being guided by You, (18:43) and shower us with Your mercy. (18:45) You are the gracious. (18:47) Our Lord, (18:48) You will surely gather all the people (18:50) of the day that is inevitable, (18:52) for God never breaks His promise. (18:55) Those who disbelieve, (18:57) neither their money nor their children (18:59) will avail them against God. (19:02) They will be killed for Him. (19:03) Like the people of Pharaoh (19:06) and others before them, (19:07) who rejected our revelations, (19:10) God punished them for their sins. (19:12) God is strict in enforcing retribution. (19:15) Say, (19:16) to those who disbelieve, (19:18) you will be defeated (19:19) and end up in hell (19:21) and a miserable abode. (19:25) Agree? (19:25) Well, I guess that's enough for now. (19:33) Okay, my understanding is that (19:35) we all know that (19:37) verse 1, (19:39) I will tell you (19:43) it's part of the Quranic mission, (19:47) from the mystery that (19:48) from the miracle pope (19:49) that's been aware of the devil (19:52) and (19:54) constitutes that this is (19:56) this is (19:58) the truth (20:01) and if you read the Quran, (20:04) you'll see that (20:05) we did those things (20:07) on a tendency level for God (20:08) to help us explain (20:10) that our journey is possible (20:12) because this is (20:14) provided by God (20:17) to all of us (20:21) and (20:21) who is bearing (20:23) who is bearing for us (20:24) that's the reason why we are all here (20:27) and we (20:28) shall not look down (20:31) Agree? (20:35) Just as God told me that (20:36) you can deal with people (20:38) just as they treat you (20:40) and concerning all the other people (20:42) as you probably, if you have (20:45) experience talking to (20:46) different Christians (20:47) or other religious people (20:50) or whatever, you know, (20:51) they're trying to tell you that (20:52) you are all square (20:53) only thing that they're trying to tell you (20:56) is they believe (20:56) that this Quran (20:58) is written in faith (21:00) so this is the matter (21:01) concerning all the (21:03) Christians that came down (21:05) and came from the beginning (21:07) to the now (21:08) and they will know that this is (21:10) the kind of truth (21:12) and (21:14) it's a guide (21:16) for the people (21:16) for all people (21:19) and I guess it's (21:20) my understanding is (21:22) it came directly to the Gentiles (21:24) but it's for all the people (21:27) and (21:29) those who believe (21:30) who disbelieve (21:32) God is going to give them (21:34) rest in peace (21:36) and God is all power (21:39) and (21:40) no matter what you (21:42) you plan or whether you (21:43) consider it or not (21:45) Allah knows (21:47) that we do not know (21:50) and Allah knows (21:52) everything (21:54) so whether you plan or whether (21:56) you just keep it (21:58) secretly (21:58) Allah knows you're going to have to (22:00) account for it (22:02) for all people (22:05) because He is the one that (22:07) shows His back to you (22:09) whether you just (22:10) know Him or not (22:11) come out of it (22:12) a full, perfect body (22:15) that doesn't come out of it (22:16) no legs and no eyes (22:18) and whatever He is the one (22:20) that shows His back to you (22:23) and there is no God (22:27) except Him (22:30) and He is the one that (22:32) reveals to you His history (22:33) like a lot of people (22:35) may think that (22:36) because the child's name (22:38) is on the front cover (22:41) that it's the child's (22:43) history (22:44) whereas He told you (22:45) that it's the child's (22:46) and it's the history (22:47) and it's God's history (22:49) and that it had (22:51) perfect mercy (22:52) and the first mercy (22:54) that all man needed (22:56) to be part of the miracle (22:58) that He is ready to provide (23:00) and let you also know (23:02) that it's the child's history (23:03) and not the child's history (23:06) and then it also tells you (23:08) that a lot of people (23:10) try to make it seem as though (23:12) it's the child's (23:13) because He is the Imam (23:14) He is the one that (23:16) the most knowledgeable one (23:18) and He is the one that (23:20) God used to bring (23:22) and to prove (23:25) but that was just (23:26) so He meant (23:27) to speak with authority (23:29) and He just died (23:30) so this is the word of God (23:34) and (23:36) it's not the child (23:38) even though God used Him (23:40) to do the things (23:42) that He was doing (23:42) a couple of years ago (23:43) and I haven't given you (23:45) a lot of personal information (23:47) yet to do what He's doing (23:49) and He's helping us (23:52) become better people (24:00) and (24:01) and (24:01) and (24:05) and (24:12) and (24:16) and (24:17) and (24:17) and (24:17) and (24:17) and (24:17) and (24:17) and (24:17) and (24:25) and (24:26) and (24:29) and (24:34) and (24:35) and (24:40) and (24:44) and (24:44) and (24:52) and (24:58) and (25:21) and (25:21) and (25:21) and (25:21) and (25:21) and (25:21) and (25:22) and (25:26) and (25:26) and (25:26) and (25:26) and (25:26) and (25:26) and (25:28) and (25:28) and (25:28) and (25:29) and (25:31) and (25:31) and (25:31) and (25:36) and (25:43) and (25:48) and (26:01) and (26:06) and (26:06) and (26:06) and (26:06) and (26:06) and (26:07) and (26:07) and (26:07) and (26:07) and (26:07) and (26:10) and (26:12) and (26:12) and (26:28) and (26:29) and (26:29) and (26:29) and (26:41) and (26:41) and (26:41) God never breaks his promise, and he said if you commit to me, I'll make sure that you're here on earth, in this life and the hereafter. (26:54) God never breaks his promise, but you have to believe in that and commit in order to get that promise to come down. (27:07) And those who just believe, neither their money nor their children will help them against God. (27:14) Like a Christian who believes in one health care, and some so-called missionaries that Muhammad sent health care, (27:24) and God has shown you that nobody will give you health, you only have heaven and earth to depend on. (27:33) I've never been told to talk about the things to do, but how they will be punished, and that they will be healed, (27:44) and that the final bone will be healed, and the world will be full of hope. **(27:54) Mr. Haqq, thank you very much. (27:59) I just want to touch on, again, has a few things.** **(28:16) Read the footnote relating to ALM. (28:21) You see footnote 2-1, appendix 1, the miraculous significance of this Quranic initials. (28:28) After 1400 years, the mystery of this method is now unveiled. (28:36) We're told in eight chapters, in eight surahs, that these letters are the miracle of Quran. (28:46) They were a mysterious, they remain mysterious for 1400 years. (28:55) And God told us that there's a secret in Quran that will be unveiled in the future, not in Muhammad's time. (29:09) So these letters are the miracle of Quran. (29:16) And it was these letters, and the miracle associated with them, that I personally used as a sign that this translation is authorized by God. (29:28) As a chemist, I had no business translating the Quran. (29:33) And I refused to publish it. (29:37) I did it for myself initially. (29:41) Who's making noise back there?** **cuts out** **(32:48) I refused to publish it, or have anything to do with it, unless there is a definite time that I am authorized to do this. (32:59) Now, 1400 years now, when you look at it, it's very simple. (33:04) But nobody ever found it. (33:07) It's all over the Quran, it's throughout the Quran. (33:11) But nobody ever saw it. (33:13) So this was definitely a sign, and I mentioned this in footnote 2-1. (33:19) So when anyone attacks this translation to you, you can show them this footnote in 2-1. (33:27) And you can ask them, what about this letter? (33:34) Who found it? (33:35) And God will just pick out anybody to let them discover the miracle of Quran.** --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
