28) Quran Study: Surah 30:22, 45:33 - 46:14

Study From Parivash 128, Sura 45:33 Parivash's Home, 19 Math

Speaker 1 (0:07) The evils of their works will become obvious to them, and the very things they mocked will come back to haunt them. (0:14) It will be proclaimed, today we forget you, just as you forgot the meeting of this day. (0:19) Your abode is the hellfire, and you will have no helpers. (0:25) 35. (0:26) This is because you mocked and ridiculed God's revelations, and were preoccupied with the first life. (0:34) Consequently, they will never exit therefrom, nor will they be excused. (0:38) To God belongs all praise, Lord of the heavens, Lord of the earth, Lord of the universe. (0:43) To Him belongs all supremacy in the heavens and the earth. (0:47) He is the Almighty, Most Wise. (0:50) In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful, Hayamim, the revelation of this scripture is from God, the Almighty, the Wise. (0:57) We did not create the heavens and the earth and everything between them except for a specific purpose and for a finite interim. (1:05) Those who disbelieve are totally oblivious to the warnings. (1:09) Say, consider the idols you set up besides God. (1:13) Show me, what on earth did they create? (1:15) Do they own part of the heavens? (1:18) Show me any other scripture or any piece of knowledge that supports your idolatry, if you are truthful. (1:25) The idols are totally unaware. (1:28) Who is farther astray than those who idolize besides God, idols that can never respond to them until the day of resurrection, and are totally unaware of their worship? (1:41) This is what most Sunnis and Shiites do. (1:45) The next page, the idols disown their worshippers. (1:49) And when the people are summoned on the day of judgment, their idols will become their enemies and will denounce their idolatry. (1:57) When our revelations were recited to them clearly, those who disbelieved said of the truth that came to them, this is obviously magic. (2:06) So we are talking about idol worshippers who idolize people, because we are told in verse 6, when the people are summoned on the day of judgment, their idols will become their enemies and will denounce their idolatry. (2:19) So Ali will have to denounce all the Shiites, and Muhammad denounces all the Muslims. (2:27) In fact, this is documented in the Quran. (2:34) Yes. (2:39) Muhammad ibn Ali and Hussain cannot respond to anybody who denounces. Speaker 2 (2:47) They will disown them. Speaker 1 (2:48) Right. (2:50) They will never know about you. (2:53) Now, these people, these particular people, when our revelations were recited to them clearly, it is worship God alone, uphold the word of God alone, the creed is la ilaha illallah, those who disbelieved say to the truth that comes to them, this is obviously magic. (3:10) When they say, he fabricated this, say, if I fabricated this, then you cannot protect me from God. (3:17) He is fully aware of everything you scheme. (3:19) He suffices as a witness between me and you. (3:24) He is the forgiver, most merciful. (3:27) When you apply this to me personally, I notice always when it says, say, it is already said. (3:34) I always tell them, if I am a liar, then this is my problem. (3:37) What am I telling you? (3:39) I am telling you worship God alone, and uphold the word of God alone. (3:42) So if I am lying to you, this is my problem. (3:46) But as far as you are concerned, you can benefit from the truth and benefit from the message. (3:53) If I am a liar, it is my problem, not yours. (3:56) Say, I am not different from other messengers. (3:59) I have no idea what will happen to me or to you. (4:01) I only follow what is revealed to me. (4:03) I am no more than a profound warner. (4:09) Say, what if it is from God and you disbelieved in it? (4:13) A witness from the children of Israel has borne witness to a similar phenomenon. (4:19) So look at the footnote here, 4610. (4:25) This witness is Rabbi Judah the Pious, 11th century AD, who discovered the same 19-based mathematical code and intact fragments of the scriptures in Appendix 1. (4:35) So obviously, number 9, say here, refers to our generation. (4:41) I am not different from other messengers. (4:43) I have no idea what will happen to me or to you. (4:45) I only follow what is revealed to me. (4:49) Say, what if it is from God and you disbelieved in it? (4:52) A witness from the children of Israel has borne witness to a similar phenomenon. (4:56) And he has believed while you have turned arrogant. (4:59) Surely, God does not follow the way of the people. (5:02) Rabbi Judah the Pious is undoubtedly a believer when you read his writings. (5:05) God alone, in fact, is a strict scripturist, just like we are. (5:11) Number 11, those who disbelieved said about those who believed, if it were anything good, they would not have preceded us to it. (5:20) Because they were not guided thereby, they said, this is an old fabrication. (5:28) Number 12, before this, the book of Moses provided guidance and mercy. (5:31) This is a confirming Arabic scripture, to warn those who transgress and to give good news to the righteous. (5:38) Good news. (5:39) Surely, those who said, our Lord is God, and lead a righteous life, will have no fear, nor will they grieve. (5:45) Sounds familiar? (5:49) They have deserved paradise, where they abide forever, reward from God. (6:24) They are going to hell. Speaker 2 (6:27) I told them something, but I did not reach the proof. Speaker 1 (6:35) These people, if they come and see the proof, I give them the proof, I give them the message, and they say, and they do not believe, they are going to hell. Speaker 2 (6:44) If there are believers who are included here, they will believe it. Speaker 1 (7:04) This is for people who do not know, they are in the middle of the jungle, they do not know anything about Quran or anything. (7:13) But anytime you show them the Quran, they will believe it. (7:16) You find nothing objectionable here. (7:18) You show them any proof from God, they accept it. (7:20) See, God will guide them. (7:57) It never refers to Jesus. (8:06) Jesus is not considered one of the children of Israel in the Quran. (8:11) He is considered the vanguard of a new movement. (8:23) If it was Jesus, God would have said, Jesus born witness. (8:27) We would not call Jesus one of the children of Israel. (8:50) It is just one of the things that were to come later, to become obvious later. (8:57) A witness from among the children of Israel, born witness to something like it. (9:03) But Jesus did not bear witness to something like the Quran. (9:05) It is totally different. (9:09) There is no question that it is not Jesus. (9:18) Okay, get going. (9:19) In the name of God, most gracious, most merciful. (9:23) This was an excellent brief presentation of the perpetual miracles that God sent to us, that is to be witnessed by anybody, in any place, at any time. (9:39) Anybody in Tokyo, Japan can open this and witness the miracle. (9:44) This mathematically coded book, this is the original idea. (9:49) And I have to take you back a few years, a few centuries actually, where the realization came first that God spoke to us in mathematics. (9:59) It was about 900 years ago when a Jewish rabbi discovered this number 19 in the intact remnants of the scriptures, specifically in the prayer that was given to them through Abraham, just like our namaz came through Abraham. (10:20) What happened about 900 years ago was that the Jews in France added a short statement to their morning prayer which was, blessed are those who follow the righteous path. (10:35) They just added this harmless, seemingly harmless statement. (10:39) Rabbi Judah the pious, who was living at that time, just wrote a barrage of literature, eight huge volumes, as to why this short statement would destroy what he called divine rhythm, or the key that calls contact between us and God. (11:01) And he showed that the number 19 is the basis of the scriptures, and the language of God is speaking to us. (11:09) It contains the key to the word of God. (11:12) And they have it reproduced here in the appendix. (11:21) Actually, Rabbi Judah the pious, I think some of you know this, he's actually mentioned in the Quran, in Surah 46, verse 10. (11:34) So they reproduced part of his writing about him, on page 636 of this book. (11:45) Now I'm quoting from a book entitled Studies in Jewish Mysticism. (11:49) It says, The people, Jews in France, made it a custom to add in the morning prayer, the word, as great in the name of the Lord, which means, blessed are those who walk the righteous way. (12:01) And our Rabbi the pious, of blessed memory, wrote that they were completely and utterly wrong. (12:07) It was all brought falsehood, because there are only 19 times, now notice the number 19, there are only 19 times that the holy name is mentioned in that portion of the morning prayer. (12:17) And similarly, you find the word Elohim, which means God, 19 times, in the pericope of the angel Shemot. (12:26) Similarly, you find that Israel were called sons 19 times. (12:30) And there are many other examples. (12:32) Now listen to this, all these sets of 19 are intricately intertwined, and they contain many secrets and esoteric meanings, which are contained in more than 8 large volumes. (12:44) Furthermore, in this section, there are 152 words, that's 19 times 8. (12:50) In 46 tense, is it 46 tense or 42 tense? (12:56) Let me see. (12:58) Maybe 42 tense. (13:05) It is not 46 tense. (13:07) Yes, yes, 46 tense, I say, what if it is from God, this Quran, what if it is from God and you just believe in it? (13:16) A witness from the children of Israel has borne witness to a similar phenomenon. (13:22) And I believe that this verse refers to Rabbi Judah Raphael, because if you read his writings, he is really a believer. (13:29) So, what I would like to say is that the number 19 has always been the key, has always been the key in God's writings. (13:41) And one of the strange statements of Galileo was that mathematics is the language with which God created the universe. (13:49) That was a statement by Galileo. (13:52) And we come to realize now that in nature, the number 19 also, which may be God's signature, is evident in God's creation. (14:05) The sun, the moon, and the earth line up in the same position every 19 years. (14:09) And you can see this in detail, again, if you go to the library and look at the Jewish calendar, in the Jewish encyclopedia, on the calendar you will see this, because they have to adjust the calendar once every 19 years. (14:21) The human body has 209 bones, which is 19 times 11. (14:27) The human fetus, it is now established that the human, the full term embryo is in the mother's womb 266 days, 19 times 14. (14:38) And this is not 1267. (14:40) And you see this in the textbooks in medical schools. (14:44) So, obviously, God puts his stamp on everything, including the Quran. (14:49) The Quran is the only scripture that is intact. (14:52) And this is where we have the system intact. (14:54) As Behrooz shared with you some of these phenomena, maybe you can, if you sit over there, you can see. (15:22) Just these numbers here will convince anybody that this is not a human-made book. (15:28) This top number, I'm going to repeat because Behrooz went through it a little bit too fast. (15:34) This number here is the number of digits, if you write every verse in the Quran, the number of every verse. (15:42) Remember the first surah is 7 verses, so write 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. (15:47) The next surah is 286 verses, so you write next to that, 1, 2, 3, 4, all the way to 286, and so on, all the way to the end of the Quran. (15:56) So we're talking about the physical structure of this book. (16:00) Every verse in the Quran, you just write the number. (16:03) You end up with a long number, which we have hanging on the wall at Masjid Tucson. (16:07) And the number of digits is 12,692. (16:11) This number is a multiple of 19. (16:12) This is the number of digits in the long number, which takes about 3 pages, printed by the computer. (16:18) And the long number, it says, is also a multiple of 19. (16:22) So this confirms the physical structure of the book. (16:26) How many surahs and how many verses in every surah. (16:30) This number here is the number of verses in the Quran. (16:35) You just look at this book, and say the first surah is 7 verses, second surah is 286 verses, third surah is 200 verses. (16:41) You add these numbers to come up with this number, 6, 3, 4, 6, which is also a multiple of 19. (16:46) The number of surahs, of course, is 114. (16:49) This is 19 times 6. (16:51) The first verse, which is very famous, Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, is 19 letters. (16:58) 2698, this is the number of the word God in the Quran. (17:03) The word Allah from the beginning to the end. (17:08) 2698. (17:10) A multiple of 19. (17:14) And, considering how the Quran was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad, separated in time and place, it is really incredible. (17:22) In fact, when we were working on this book, we had about 6 college graduates, including one PhD, and we had so much difficulty just keeping track of the word God. (17:34) We made so many mistakes in doing this. (17:41) And the book, of course, confirms itself, because if you know this, if you open this book, any of you who has it, you'll see in any page, you'll see in any page that the word God is written in capital bold letters. (17:52) So anyone can easily verify this. (17:54) And the number of these, the word God is written on every page. (17:59) So you can look at any page and confirm that it is 6 times, this page here, page 97, has 6 words Allah in it. (18:09) And you can do this randomly on any page, and make sure that this count is correct. (18:15) And you go to the end of the book and you see that the word God is a multiple of 19, 2698. (18:21) 19 times 142. (18:23) This number here is the sum of all the numbers mentioned in the Quran without repetition. (18:31) There are 30 numbers mentioned in the Quran. (18:35) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 19, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 99, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, No, not 700. (18:51) 500, 3000, 5000, 50,000, and 100,000. (18:56) And you add them up, you get this total. (18:59) 162, 146, which is a multiple of 19. (19:02) Now you notice these are physical facts. (19:05) Nobody is saying, in my opinion, the total of the numbers in the Quran is 162, 140. (19:11) It's a physical fact. Speaker 4 (19:11) Yes, sir. (19:12) Is one version? (19:16) No, there's only one version. (19:20) One version. (19:21) There hasn't been any contest as to different, no denomination. (19:30) No, there's only one Quran. (19:33) It's like in Christianity that the Bible has different versions. Speaker 1 (19:38) There's a Spanish version, a British version, a Muslim version, and so on. (19:42) But the Quran is only one version. (19:44) There are no differences. (19:46) So this is a physical fact. (19:50) It is nobody's opinion. (19:52) And all you need to do is find the numbers in the Quran and add them up. (19:57) If they don't add up to a multiple of 19, then the whole thing collapses and the subject is over. (20:01) But this has been in existence for 20 years now. (20:05) And it's been scrutinized. (20:07) This research has been scrutinized more than any research in the history of humanity. (20:12) Because back home, they look at all these numbers and can't find any errors. (20:17) It has been confirmed and reconfirmed that these are physical facts. (20:21) This number here is the total of the verses wherever the word God is mentioned. (20:27) The word Allah is mentioned. (20:28) And this is really and truly awesome. (20:32) Because, again, if you have a copy of this, just open it at random anywhere and see the word God. (20:38) OK, open the page 259. (20:40) Open page 259 if you have this, and I can tell you what's in it. (20:45) In page 259, you see verses 25 to 33 in surah 14. (20:50) And you notice that the word God, Allah, is mentioned in verse 25. (20:55) Verse 27 has 3 of them. (20:58) Verse 26 has 0. (21:00) Verse 28 has 1. (21:01) Verse 29 has 0. (21:03) Verse 30 has 1, the word Allah. (21:05) Verse 31 has 0. (21:07) And verse 32 has 1, and verse 33 has 0. (21:10) So, in this, there are 3 words Allah in verse 27, but we only add 27. (21:17) So we add 25 plus 27 plus 28 plus 30 plus 32. (21:24) We add only the verses wherever the word Allah is mentioned. (21:28) Whether it is one time or ten times. (21:30) And this is the total in the whole Quran. (21:33) There is 118123 which is also multiple lines. (21:37) So all these phenomena defy coincidence or defy the human manufacture. (21:46) And you immediately realize that we have in our hands God's message to you. (21:54) You have full confidence, because this is the age of computers. (21:58) People have been demanding tangible evidence, now we have tangible evidence. (22:01) That this is God speaking to us and not any human being trying to fool us. (22:07) Ok, now that the book has proven the tangible evidence, we have confidence. (22:12) That this is God speaking to us, it is not any human being with the shortcomings of human beings. (22:19) And in the book we have answers to these questions. (22:23) And we know that God is speaking to us, God is telling us. (22:25) He created us and He is telling us where we came from. (22:28) He is telling us why we are here on this earth. (22:30) And He is telling us where we go from here. (22:36) And like the Quran says, none can tell you this like the expert. (22:41) One of the names of God, Khabir. (22:44) And one of the names of Khabir. (22:46) None can tell you these things like the expert. (22:48) God is the supreme expert. (22:52) So now I will try to share with you what God tells us about these questions. (22:58) Where did we come from? (23:05) Do you have some markers? (23:09) Oh yes, thank you. (23:30) Ok, why are we searching for these questions? (23:32) Like where did we come from? (23:36) We learned from Quran that we are here, we have no recollection of our previous past. (23:43) But we were all in God's kingdom. (23:44) You can think of us as angels, we used to be angels. (23:47) In God's kingdom. (23:49) So if I draw a line representing all the creatures in God's kingdom, billions of years ago. (23:55) And this includes you and me. (23:57) Billions of years ago. (23:58) It is very clear in the Quran that we existed in the past. (24:02) For example, in surah 7, verse 143, God said, I gathered all of you, all the descendants of Adam. (24:07) And I had you bear witness that I alone am your Lord. (24:11) God tells us that. (24:12) But we don't have any recollection of it. (24:14) We don't remember standing before God and saying, bear witness, you are our Lord. (24:20) So the Quran teaches us that we don't have any remembrance of that. (24:24) And this is one of the purposes of us being here. (24:27) Is to come into an existence where we do not remember the past, and start, have a fresh start. (24:34) Then we are given two messages. (24:36) One message from God, and one message from Satan. (24:40) And we are supposed to freely make a choice. (24:43) God gave us the freedom to choose. (24:45) We can choose either one of them. (24:46) Either God's message, or Satan's message. (24:51) As you know, I'm going to interrupt a bit in what God is telling us. (24:56) In the middle of the subject, Adam and Eve were in heaven. (25:01) And God gave them a message. (25:03) This is because all of us, I'm sure, know this. (25:06) But God gave Adam and Eve a message. (25:07) He said, you are in paradise. (25:09) You can enjoy anything you want, but not this tree. (25:12) Don't come close to this tree. (25:13) That was God's message to Adam and Eve. (25:16) And they stayed in heaven, God knows how long. (25:18) Maybe thousands, maybe millions of years. (25:21) But the point is, for as long as they respected God's commandment, God's law, they stayed there. (25:30) And then, most of you know, Satan went to them and said, leave from this tree. (25:37) So now they have two messages. (25:41) Hi Rashi, how are you? (25:50) Adam and Eve were in heaven, or in paradise, or heaven, the same thing. (25:54) And they had a message from God telling them, do not eat from this tree. (25:58) And they had a message from Satan saying, eat from this tree. (26:01) For as long as they obeyed and lived by God's message, they stayed in heaven. (26:06) Once they listened to Satan, they were kicked out of there. (26:10) And this is what brought us here. (26:11) I mean, as a second comment to this work. (26:17) Not the initial, this is not the original sin. (26:20) Eating from the tree is not the original sin as believed in the previous creatures. (26:25) So, this slide is representing all of God's creatures, including you and me. (26:31) And these creatures of God had different responsibilities, different assignments of work. (26:38) And depending on their duties, they had different powers. (26:43) For example, if somebody assigns to you something to do in New York, your company says, you must go to New York and do something and come back. (26:51) They give you a ticket to get on a plane, fly to New York, do a job and come back. (26:55) This is some power given to you. (27:00) So, God's creatures had different powers. (27:01) One of the most powerful creatures, not the most powerful creature, one of the powerful creatures, now we got to know as Satan, his God-given powers went to his head. (27:13) He had an egotistic problem. (27:16) He thought he can be a God besides God. (27:18) He thought he can run a dominion besides God. (27:21) And this immediately created various degrees of agreement or disagreement with Satan. (27:32) So, just to put the matter in perspective, and not to put a representation of how many creatures agreed with Satan, the vast majority of God's creatures did not agree with Satan. (27:42) Only a few, I'm going to represent them by this red bar. (27:46) I hope you can see it back there. (27:49) So, the vast majority of creatures, they said, no way, Satan cannot be a God besides God. (27:54) Only God can be a God. (27:59) I mean, this is from a practical point of view. (28:01) There's simply more to God-hood than Satan thought. (28:04) And this is reflected in this world now, that Satan cannot run the world. (28:08) There are many starving children, many diseases, earthquakes, cancer. (28:13) All this is Satan's incompetence, reflects Satan's incompetence in this world. (28:19) These creatures that did not agree with Satan are the angels. (28:21) They are now, the creatures became classified. (28:25) The creatures who adhered to God's absolute authority were classified as angels. (28:32) The creatures that rebelled and agreed with Satan were classified as... (28:37) and then further classified. (28:39) Let's now classify them as rebels. (28:41) They did not believe in God's absolute authority. (28:44) Now, I'm going to take this little dot here. (28:46) By the way, this little dot represents something like a trillion creatures. (28:50) The number of God's angels is not known to anybody except God. (28:54) You see this in the Quran. (28:55) It's 274, verse 31. (28:58) Where God says, only God knows the number of angels. (29:01) Even the angels don't know how many of them there are. (29:04) As you see, this red dot represents a trillion creatures. (29:09) And the blue line is much larger. (29:11) So there's countless numbers of angels. (29:14) I'm going to extend this dot here into a long line. (29:19) We're still dealing with the question, where did we come from? (29:24) This line represents about a trillion creatures. (29:28) They are the creatures that agreed with Satan. (29:31) And this includes you and me, in this line. (29:36) To different degrees. (29:38) Let's say here are the least agreeable with Satan, and these are the most response agreeable with Satan. (29:44) God gave these creatures a second chance. (29:46) First of all, the angels said, since these creatures here rebelled, put them all in hell. (29:50) Throw them all in hell. (29:51) Banish them from your kingdom. (29:54) As in surah 2, verse 30, God says, no. (29:58) One of the names of God is the most merciful. (30:01) God wanted to give us another chance to reconsider our decision to side with Satan. (30:09) In surah 2, verse 30, God says, I know what you do not know. (30:12) The angels said, throw them all in hell. (30:13) And God said, I know what you do not know. (30:16) What does God know? (30:17) That the angels didn't know. (30:19) God knew that some of us, deep in our hearts, really believe in God's absolute authority. (30:24) But for some reason, we were swept in the crowd and we agreed with Satan. (30:27) To different degrees. (30:30) Pardon? (30:32) So, this line here is representing the ribbons. (30:35) God gave him a second chance. (30:37) He said, how would you like to reconsider your agreement with Satan? (30:42) Mashallah. (30:43) Mashallah. (30:46) She wrote me a fantastic letter. (30:47) She's early, very early to leave. (30:49) It takes a lot of courage to do that. (30:56) Yes. Speaker 3 (31:30) Mashallah. Speaker 5 (31:46) As long as she's reading the word of God. Speaker 1 (31:49) Exactly. (31:49) By the way, she's reading her letter. (31:51) I went in there to look for her letter, which I know I have it somewhere, but I couldn't find it. (31:55) What she just said now is exactly her letter. (31:58) But she added to it that, but to have the letter come in my lifetime, this is a dream that I never expected. Speaker 5 (32:04) I immediately accepted it, and then I said, oh. (32:11) To stand up and say, oh, I accept somebody there. (32:14) He won't be right in front of me. (32:15) I never do that. Speaker 1 (32:16) This is the letter, exactly. (32:18) This is what she wrote. (32:19) Can you imagine? (32:19) This is very early, when nobody else had any courage. (32:24) Because it was very difficult, even on me. (32:29) So, is it an honor or not to know Mrs. Amir Ali? (32:31) Yes. (33:52) Yes, Alhamdulillah. (33:53) We're very special. (33:55) So, the thing that, what is happening now is, first of all, give us a chance to finish the work that needs to be finished. (34:02) Secondly, to select these very special people. (34:05) Astaghfirullah, Astaghfirullah. (34:06) The elite of the elite. (34:08) There are people who are joining, and sometimes you think, if the opening up happened like last year, look how many people would have been deprived of this position of being elite of the elite. (34:21) Of course, the elite of the elite, Astaghfirullah, Astaghfirullah, are the people who are in the vanguards of the movement, at the time when it is being persecuted, and everyone is calling us stupid and way off, and all the crazy, and all these names. (34:34) These are the, but the new generation don't deserve half the credit. (34:41) I always use the example of the Kulani's kids. (34:46) Karima and Amir. (34:47) Karima is a believer, MashaAllah. (34:50) And she is, she went through, she is an adult, who made this very crucial decision. (34:56) When I stayed at their house, and then after a couple of days, the neighborhood kids come and say, where is God's message? (35:03) When is God's message? (35:04) Because their kids are saying, get to sleep in our house. (35:07) So those kids, they grow up with history, so they don't, I mean they have a fantastic credit, but not half, not one millionth of the credit that the adults get. (35:20) So during this period, God has selected. (35:29) I'm glad this 337 came along. (35:41) And this is enough of a lot for the morning, so congratulations. (35:44) This will open to a general discussion. Speaker 3 (35:50) Sure. Speaker 1 (36:02) How are you, in Arabic? (36:04) What is the connection? (36:05) How are you, in Arabic? (36:06) This is Egyptian, this is Arabic. (36:10) When you think about, look at this. Speaker 3 (36:13) Can you hear? Speaker 5 (36:24) Translate. Speaker 1 (36:33) When you think about it, it really is a proof of God's existence. (36:44) As a matter of fact, language is the only thing that distinguishes the human beings, in the animal kingdom. (36:57) The closest creatures to us, the chimps, or the orangutans, how come they don't speak? Speaker 3 (37:08) Really? Speaker 1 (37:09) Like we were talking to animals? (37:11) Pardon? Speaker 3 (37:14) Oh yeah, oh yeah, definitely. Speaker 1 (37:15) But I'm talking about the sound. Speaker 3 (37:17) It's perfect. Speaker 1 (37:19) It's the language of the bees. (37:21) I was talking to Sammy today about the language of the bees. (37:26) I only mentioned it because I studied it. (37:28) I know how to speak bees. (37:31) Like Chinese, English, Japanese, and bees. (37:37) And cows, the bees, cows will go and come back and tell the workers in the hive to travel five miles northeast, 45 degrees. (37:48) Yes, and they'll go exactly to that location where the food is, where the flowers are. (37:57) They studied, pardon? (38:02) No, any day, any day. (38:04) They don't go by the sun, no. (38:06) Yes, that's where God taught them. (38:08) But they did this by marking, they're putting colored dots on the scouts and the workers, different colors. (38:14) And they watch them, and then the scouts will go and they'll come back and they do certain things. (38:21) It's the language of the bees. (38:27) Yeah? Speaker 3 (38:27) Mohammed? Speaker 1 (38:31) God puts the variations in the languages as the sign that comes after the creation of the heavens and the earth. (38:50) This tells us how important it is. (38:54) And the change in our colors. (39:00) Number 23 says, among His signs is your sleeping during the night or the day, and your working in pursuit of His bounty. (39:08) In this, there are sufficient proofs for people who hear. (39:11) Only yesterday I heard on the radio that sleeping is one thing that's still mysterious to the scientists. (39:17) They don't know why we need sleep and what happens that refreshes, changes a person who sleeps dead, like myself at about 8.30, into a person who's alert. (39:29) What is it that happens in sleeping? (39:30) Why do we sleep? (39:31) They don't know. (39:34) I mean, this is the last decade of the 20th century, and the scientists do not know why we sleep, what the mechanism or what happens. (39:46) Among His signs is your sleeping during the night or the day, and your working in pursuit of His bounty. (39:56) In this, there are proofs for people who hear. (39:59) 24, among His signs is that He shows you the lightning as a source of fear as well as hope, and He sends down from the sky waters to revive a land that has died. (40:12) In this, there are sufficient proofs for people who understand. (40:19) Rain. (40:19) Rain is just the sign of God. (40:24) Can you imagine if we send astronauts in a spaceship and give them a system where the water circulates, the three astronauts in a spaceship, and the water evaporates, makes a cloud around the spaceship, goes to the spaceship, where it goes, and then rains on them fresh water, perfectly. (40:41) I mean, how are we going to do this? (40:43) God did it on the spaceship Earth. (40:47) A renewable source of fresh water. (40:50) We have to think. (40:51) This is why God uses the word think a lot in the Quran. (40:54) See at the end of verse 21? (40:57) These are signs or sufficient proofs for people who think. (41:04) If there is no rain on Earth for one year, everybody will die. (41:08) This will tell you how important it is. (41:12) If there is no rain for one year on Earth, everybody will die. (41:18) So that's among His signs. (41:22) 25. (41:22) Among His signs is that the Heaven and the Earth are standing at His disposal. (41:27) Finally, He calls you out of the Earth, one call, whereupon you immediately rise. (41:33) After telling us all these signs, do we have any doubt that God will resurrect the dead? (41:38) No doubt. (41:40) 26. (41:41) To Him belongs everyone in the Heavens and the Earth. (41:44) All are subservient to Him. (41:48) And He is the one who initiates the creation, then repeats it. (41:52) This is the easiest thing for Him. (41:55) Now, repeats it can refer to resurrection, the hereafter. (42:01) Or it can mean that resurrection is repetition of Batool. (42:09) Batool all over again. (42:16) He is the one who initiates the creation, then repeats it. (42:19) This is the easiest thing for Him. (42:20) 27. (42:21) And to Him belongs the most sublime similitude in the Heavens and the Earth. (42:25) He is the Almighty, Most Wise. (42:29) Absurdity of Idolatry. (42:31) He cites for you herein an example from among yourselves. (42:35) Do you ever elevate your servants or subordinates to the level where they rival you, and to the point that you pay them as much allegiance and respect as is being paid to you? (42:46) We thus extend the revelation for the people who understand. (42:50) God is the creator of all things, and He is the boss of the universe. (42:55) Would He elevate anybody to the status of a god? (42:59) I mean, if you don't accept this for yourself, why should you attribute it to God? (43:03) Therefore, idolatry is absurd. (43:07) 29. (43:07) Indeed, the sent gracers have followed their own opinions without knowledge. (43:12) Thus, who can guide those who have been sent astray by God? (43:15) No one can help them. (43:18) And verse 30 tells us that monotheism, worshipping God alone, is a natural instinct in all of us. (43:24) Therefore, you shall devote yourselves to the religion of strict monotheism. (43:29) Such is the natural instinct placed into the people by God. (43:33) Such creation of God will never change. (43:36) This is the perfect religion, but most people do not know. (43:45) It is a natural instinct. (43:47) We are born with the knowledge that we must worship God alone. (43:51) Then God puts in your body a devil to tell you, no, don't do that. (43:56) You must believe in Hussain, Ali, Muhammad, Jesus, Mary, and Saint Francis. Speaker 3 (44:22) Right. Speaker 1 (44:33) This means that the babies that will be born in the next 10 years, 100 years, to the end of the world, will have the same knowledge. (44:40) It will never change. (44:41) This fact will never change. (44:43) Because obviously, the vast majority of people do change. (44:54) But this fact tells us it will never change. (44:56) So God is talking about the babies that will be born in the future. (45:19) Isn't it in every page of the Quran, it says, devote yourselves to God alone? (45:26) What's wrong with the people? (45:27) Why do they have to stick Muhammad and Jesus with God? (45:31) Why? (45:33) They turn down right hot when we tell them what God is saying. (45:40) Of course, we know why, but it just never seems so amazing. (45:45) Every page of the Quran says God alone, devote yourselves to God alone. (45:48) God is the one who created you. (45:49) God is the one who has the power. (45:51) Nobody else has power. (45:52) They are all dead. (45:52) They are powerless. Speaker 3 (45:53) Every page. Speaker 1 (46:47) Satan. (46:47) This is what Satan tells them. (47:19) It's just an excuse. (47:23) It's just an excuse. (47:24) Again, there is a fellow that I argued with for 2 or 3 hours here, at the end of which he discovered he never read the Quran. (47:31) And he has a degree in management. (47:32) So how many textbooks did he read to get a degree in management? (47:38) He memorized and took tests. (47:43) It's just an excuse. (47:46) When they say they don't read the Quran, it's because they don't care. (47:50) They don't believe. (47:59) Exactly. (48:25) Is Naghmy here? (48:27) Good. (48:27) Then I can say, see the lawyers for example create a jargon. (48:32) Life is very simple and the issues before the court are very simple. (48:36) But the lawyers create such a jargon to monopolize the jobs. (48:40) This is really a very valid principle. (48:43) And the same with the chemists. (48:44) Dr. Tabahi here? (48:47) The chemists create, I'm one of them, who create a certain jargon to monopolize. (48:55) We make very simple things very complicated. (48:58) Because this is how we keep our jobs. (49:02) The doctors do the same thing. (49:04) In fact, they don't even write legibly, because you don't read the writing. (49:07) This is why they keep a secret code between them and the pharmacist. (49:15) Exactly. (50:06) This reminds me of a funny incident. (50:08) I told it to some of you. (50:10) Bear with me. (50:13) I took an American friend with me to Egypt, who was a new Muslim. (50:19) And we were in my hometown and the representative in the parliament for my section happened to be a fanatic Sunni. (50:29) And he met us and was very impressed by this new Muslim and he invited him to a Coke. (50:35) So he said, let's have a Coke. (50:37) So he opened the bottle of Coke and he offered it to Dale. (50:40) That was my friend's name. (50:42) So Dale reaches for the bottle of Coke and this member of parliament, he pulls it back. (50:48) And then he offers it again. (50:49) So Dale reaches for it and he pulls it back. (50:52) So Dale responds with, what's going on here? (51:00) Dale, what happened? (51:02) He says, just watch. (51:03) So he reaches for the Coke bottle and the member of parliament pulls the bottle away. (51:07) And then he offers it to him again. (51:08) He says, see, you're reaching with your left hand. (51:12) Turns out this is true. (51:13) So he reached with his right hand and the member of parliament says, now you're talking. (51:17) And he gave him the Coke. (51:18) But there's so many funny things. (51:23) It turns out to be a rule. (51:26) They make up this difficult truth. (51:29) If the guy has only left hand. Speaker 3 (51:47) Oh my gosh. (51:49) This is the rule of going to the bathroom. Speaker 1 (51:56) Are you saying the rule of going to the bathroom? Speaker 3 (51:57) Yes. (52:48) Lisa, how did they cut your nail? Speaker 1 (52:50) Today. Speaker 3 (52:58) Listen to her. Speaker 1 (53:24) Don't be too sure. Speaker 3 (54:20) The least honorable. Speaker 1 (54:30) This will test and divert us from reading the Quran. (54:39) My father was one of them. (54:41) I never understood why he was doing this test and now I know. (55:21) Let's go to another verse. (55:29) Number 31 says, you shall submit to God, reverence him, observe the contact, prayer, and do not be among the idol worshippers. (55:36) Do not be among those who divide their religion into sects. (55:39) Each party rejoicing with what they have. (55:44) We had a fellow come from the Sunni mosque here. (55:49) And he told Adib he's getting sick and tired of all the fighting that's going on there. (55:54) Here we are, we're reading the Quran, we all agree on a certain principle in here. (55:59) But over there they have different sects. (56:01) And if you favor one sect and not the other one, they have fight. (56:07) What did he tell you? Speaker 3 (56:14) See, all is like that. Speaker 1 (56:18) Because they do not follow this commandment. (56:21) Do not be among those who divide their religion into sects. (56:24) Each party rejoicing with what they have. (56:27) See, if you looked at us 15 years ago, this fellow would be my enemy, I'd be his enemy. (56:30) Because he'd be a Shia, I'd be a Sunni. (56:34) But look, now we're sitting one, united. (56:39) Loving each other. (57:09) This is also true of the Sunnis. (57:11) Yes. (57:20) It has to be the oldest man and the most knowledgeable. (57:24) I remember we had a 90-year-old man that was a Mullah. (57:28) I used to pray further in the patron saint of my hometown in the mosque. (57:33) And quite often we'd go wake him up from sujood. (57:35) We'd make him sujood. (57:40) He never gets up, you know. (57:45) We'd go, he's Mawlana. (57:50) And literally, wait, wait. (57:56) And people go now and they worship at his tomb. (58:00) His name was Sheikh Hijab. (58:02) Oh, I dreaded every time I go and saw him, because it took one hour to pray further. Speaker 3 (58:07) Sujood. Speaker 1 (58:08) Half of them sujood. (58:10) No, three quarters sujood. Speaker 5 (58:14) Really? Speaker 1 (58:18) He was very, very old. (58:21) There's a system in Sunnis. (58:24) I guess Abdurrahman Sadr, since we do it here, this way. (58:27) Doesn't matter who's doing it. (58:29) This is the Sunni system. (58:30) The Sunni system and apparently also the Shia system. (58:34) There are priorities for leading the prayer. Speaker 3 (58:36) One of them is to be handicapped. Speaker 1 (58:39) Should not be handicapped? Speaker 3 (58:42) I wish I knew that then. Speaker 1 (58:51) Capistrano beach? Speaker 3 (59:37) Yes, yes. Speaker 1 (59:43) Actually they say, I am more worthy of leading the prayer than you. (59:46) I have a PSD from the Azhar University. (59:49) I have a PSD plus this and that. (59:52) I'm also seven days older than you. Speaker 3 (59:55) Really? (1:00:01) Yes. Speaker 1 (1:00:03) Yes. (1:00:06) The Ahmadi Mullah in Canada said, I will humbly lead the prayer. (1:00:08) He said, you will humbly sit down right there. (1:00:15) He said it very angrily. (1:00:26) He's supposed to be here, by the way. (1:00:28) But then, Isa Ali will be here on Sunday.
