35) Quran Study: 30:25

Study From Parivash 835 Sura 30:25, Miracle Coming Out Of Biggest Brewery, Intercession Allegations

Speaker 1 (0:03) The heaven and the earth are standing at his disposal. (0:12) Finally he calls you out of the earth. (0:15) One call, whereupon you immediately rise. (0:19) To him belongs everyone in the heaven and the earth. (0:22) All are subservient to him. (0:25) And he is the one who initiates the creation, then repeats it. (0:29) This is the easiest thing for him. (0:31) And to him belongs the most sublime similitude in the heavens and the earth. (0:37) And he is the almighty, most wise. (0:41) Absurdity of idolatry. (0:43) He cites for you herein an example from among yourselves. (0:47) 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 as is being paid to you? (0:58) We thus explain the revelations for the people who understand. (1:03) Indeed, the transgressors have followed their own opinions without knowledge. (1:08) Thus, who can guide those who have been sent astray by God? (1:12) No one can help them. (1:15) Monotheism is natural instinct. (1:17) Therefore, you shall devote yourselves to the religion of strict monotheism. (1:22) Such is the natural instinct placed into the people by God. (1:26) Such creation of God will never change. (1:29) This is the perfect religion that most people do not know. (1:33) You shall submit to him, reverence him, observe the contact, prayers, salats, and do not be among the idol worshippers. (1:40) Do not be among those who divide their religion into sects, each party rejoicing with what they have. (1:49) A footnote, Terry Perry says, recognizing God alone as our Lord and Master is a natural instinct. (1:55) We are born into this world with such an instinct as shown in 7.172 and Appendix 7. (2:03) How do you like that? (2:05) Just every page of the Quran says God alone, God alone, God alone. (2:10) So there is no excuse for going any other way. (2:17) It's amazing how hard they work to go to hell. (2:25) When they try every trick in the book to associate others with God. (2:32) There are just endless number of tricks to have them associate Muhammad or Hussain or Jesus with God. (2:44) But here the first verse is among his signs is that the heavens and the earth are standing at his disposal. (2:50) Finally he calls you out of the earth, one call, whereupon you immediately rise. (2:55) When we rise on that day, we are going to know everything. (2:58) We will go our initial blasphemy, we will know that we were sent to the earth for more schooling, to learn that we were back into God's kingdom, and we will know that only he is king, that only he is capable of being a god. (3:20) When Satan thought that he can be a god besides God, it was not just arrogance or pride. (3:26) He simply was wrong. (3:28) It was not possible. (3:32) And this demonstration that we are having today proves that. (3:37) 26. (3:38) To him belongs everyone in the heavens and the earth. (3:40) We belong to him. (3:43) And are subservient to him. (3:44) God created us. (3:45) We are God's creatures. (3:49) He owns us. (3:54) And we are indeed fortunate that he is the Rahman and Rahim, the most gracious, most merciful. (4:00) Because we are his creatures. (4:02) When the other creatures said, send them all to hell, God said, no, I will give them another chance. (4:08) And this is the ultimate love. (4:11) And here are creatures who are blaspheming against him. (4:16) And God said, I will send them back to be redeemed. (4:20) And actually God is accepting the flimsiest excuses to redeem us. (4:28) Gives us 40 years. (4:32) Look how many millions of people are going to the lower heaven instead of hell. (4:36) Going to heaven instead of hell. (4:38) How many millions who would have gone to hell? (4:41) This is the initial crime. (4:43) But they are going to heaven instead. (4:45) All the children go starving. (4:48) Yeah. (4:49) Not only that. (4:50) I use Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. (4:53) People almost made it to 40, but they are saved and sent to heaven instead. (4:59) Had they lived, they would have been swept into the Christianity wave. Speaker 2 (5:06) The question that arose not too long ago in Vancouver is, if God is so merciful, why does he let children starve in Africa? (5:14) In fact, if you look at the situation very carefully, you will find that they are dying out of his mercy. (5:21) Because they are guaranteed. (5:23) I would trade places with these kids any time. Speaker 1 (5:25) Not only that, but it is also Satan's incompetence. (5:29) They are victims of Satan. (5:31) Because whoever asks the question will not be satisfied. (5:34) They are still suffering. (5:35) They are still hungry. (5:36) They still suffer for one second, for example. (5:38) But it is a demonstration of Satan's incompetence. Speaker 2 (5:42) And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala stepped in and corrected for Satan's incompetence by putting these kids in paradise. Speaker 1 (5:50) What God does, he assigns. (5:52) Why do they have to go through that? (5:55) God is merciful. (5:56) Why do they have to go through that? Speaker 2 (6:01) The demonstration of Satan's incompetence. Speaker 10 (6:04) Yes. (6:05) That is a very important point. Speaker 3 (6:06) So Satan doesn't really want us to go to heaven. Speaker 1 (6:10) To heaven? Speaker 3 (6:12) Because he is suspended there. (6:14) He wants us to join him in hell. Speaker 1 (6:16) Yes. (6:16) Actually, what Satan is doing now, we have to look at the total picture. (6:23) What Satan wants to do now is prove that he was right. (6:27) That he can have a perfect world, or a perfect dominion. (6:34) Because he knows that the matter of heaven and hell is already decided. (6:37) He knows that. (6:39) But what he wants to prove is that he wants to tell God, I'm right. (6:42) I was right when I thought I have enough qualifications and enough power to run a dominion, and I didn't go far. (6:50) But things get out of hand as the number of people increases. (6:54) For example, why do we have AIDS now? (6:56) Where was it 100 years ago? (6:59) Where did it come from? (7:01) AIDS. (7:02) And you can see that the world is getting, there is more progress, there is more convenience. (7:09) We are sitting in air conditioning and fans. (7:12) There is cars and planes and comfort. (7:16) Different kinds of luxuries. (7:19) So he has been working to please, he is really working to make the human beings enjoy and have a perfect health, perfect wealth, perfect systems, economic systems, and so on. (7:32) He has been doing this. (7:34) But the population is increasing, the human beings, and things are getting out of hand. (7:40) Yes, beyond his capacity. (7:43) And there are experiments that are going on to prove that he is not omniscient, for example. (7:49) And the miracle of the Quran is a perfect example. (7:53) I worked, this miracle came out, some of you may be shocked who didn't hear it before, but this miracle came out of the biggest brewery in the whole world, the biggest alcohol manufacturing place in the whole world. (8:05) Do you know that? (8:06) Do you know that? Speaker 3 (8:07) This miracle? (8:08) This miracle of the Quran. (8:09) Because you were working. (8:11) Yes. (8:12) I thought you were working for Monsanto. Speaker 1 (8:14) Yes, I was working for Monsanto enough to learn the computer programming, and to use the computers, to computerize the chemical research, and then I took the data, all the papers, and I moved on to Anheuser-Busch. (8:30) I was giving a paper in Chicago, there was an American Chemical Society meeting in Chicago, and I was giving a paper, and after I finished, there comes this man, and he says, I'm Bob Seeley, I'm Director of Research at Anheuser-Busch. (8:43) Seeley? (8:43) Yes, Bob Seeley. (8:45) S-E-E-L-E-Y. (8:48) S-E-E-L-E-Y. (8:49) I'm Bob Seeley, Director of Research at Anheuser-Busch, and I would like you to come and work with us. (8:53) I said, sorry, there's no way. (8:56) I laughed. (8:57) He said, why? (8:59) I said, I'm a Muslim, and we don't believe in alcohol, and I don't think anyone has anything to do with it. (9:04) He said, this has nothing to do with alcohol. (9:07) I said, well, still, but the name Anheuser-Busch, I don't want my name on a card with Anheuser-Busch in the same color. (9:13) He said, you're going to be in the food research division. (9:17) You're a protein biochemist, and we want to get protein out of millions of tons of brewer's yeast that we throw away, and baker's yeast. (9:28) They also make baker's yeast. (9:31) We're throwing these millions of tons of proteins. (9:33) You know, yeast is 50% protein. (9:37) 50% protein, which is true. (9:40) And we would like to recover all this protein and process it into artificial eggs, meat, whatever. (9:47) It's protein. (9:47) Protein is protein. (9:48) It's protein, meat, eggs, beans. (9:50) It's all the same stuff. (9:51) It's all protein. (9:51) Same stuff, and we're throwing it down the drain. (9:54) I said, sorry, there's no way. (9:56) I'll do that. (9:57) And he said, are you afraid of the people or afraid of God? (10:01) You know, you get into this kind of thing. (10:03) And I said, I'm happy. (10:06) I'm happy at Monsanto. (10:07) I don't want to change. (10:09) He said, how much are you making at Monsanto? (10:11) I said, $14,000. (10:13) That was a lot of money then. (10:16) He said, we'll give you $22,000. (10:18) I said, what do I sign? (10:31) It's been all this long. (10:32) I could have told you for the first time. (10:39) Really, what? Speaker 6 (10:40) Yes. Speaker 1 (10:42) Then I went. (10:43) I moved. (10:43) It's the same town, except I had to drive on the freeway for 20 more minutes. Speaker 10 (10:48) And for $17,000 more, you owned that deal. Speaker 1 (10:52) So I moved on to Anheuser-Busch. (10:55) And I tell you, today, they have a whole building called Research and Development. (10:59) Huge building, beautiful laboratories and so on. (11:01) But when I was hired there, which they were telling me, he told me we're going to have a new research building. (11:06) But I never got there. (11:09) So my office was in the brewery, the biggest brewery in the world, which is making alcohol. (11:16) And so I took all this data into my office. (11:20) And to go further and show you how miraculous it is, one of the biggest problems with yeast was to break the wall up there, the cell wall, to get the protein out. (11:30) This is the cell wall. (11:31) You have to break it to get the protein out. (11:33) And that was a problem for 150 years since they started research on the yeast to get the protein out. (11:40) But right now I have a patented process for the benefit of Anheuser-Busch of breaking the wall and getting the protein out. (11:46) You developed it? (11:47) I developed it and I patented it. Speaker 3 (11:49) You said before that the fact that what you are doing, you are actually trying to perfect the process. (11:55) No, I didn't. (11:56) May I finish my line, of course? (12:00) But you will take the product that comes out of alcohol production and use it for the benefit of mankind. Speaker 1 (12:14) Right, exactly. (12:15) This is one line that he told me. Speaker 3 (12:16) What he said is that the system of Satan is that there was a by-product. (12:23) But imagine if you had you, without making any alcohol at all, but using it all for proteins. (12:32) What you are doing, you are actually supporting the manufacture of alcohol by upgrading the use of yeast. Speaker 1 (12:38) I see your point. (12:39) I see what you mean. Speaker 3 (12:40) Yes. Speaker 1 (12:42) Sidi actually showed me an article, a United Nations report, that there will be famine in Egypt by 1975. (12:49) And he said, you don't want to be an active participant in eliminating famine. (12:54) This is one of the lines. (13:01) So I took all this data. (13:03) Now, the reason I am mentioning breaking the cell wall is that the process was to put the yeast, mix it with potassium hydroxide, and for four hours, have it heating for four hours. (13:15) This is how you break that. (13:16) So what do I do for four hours? (13:17) So I go in the morning, take the yeast, put it in a big beaker, put sodium hydroxide, and let it cook for four hours. (13:22) What do I do now? (13:26) Read books? (13:27) So, first of all, this made them very happy. (13:29) It was a breakthrough. (13:31) Second of all, it gave me four hours, you know, from 8 to 9, in order to look at the data and analyze it and confirm the count of the letters. (13:39) And I was working on the miracle for four years. (13:43) So the whole miracle came out of Anheuser-Busch. (13:46) Now the point, before I forget, is that if we pray, if we play, this is something we used to do. (13:53) Play a game where we hide a little ball, for example. (13:58) Play a game. (13:59) One of us will go and hide it in a place, and we'll go looking for it, and when it gets hot, we'll clap faster or slower. (14:05) It's a game like that. (14:06) And one of us will get out and look, and we'll all clap, it's hot or cool. (14:13) So the best way to hide the ball will be in the person's pocket. (14:16) It's the last thing he will look at. (14:19) So God hid the miracle in Satan's pocket. (14:24) And this is how it came out. (14:26) Because why was it 1,400 years? (14:29) Satan will do his utmost, as you know, to hide this, not to let the world know. (14:35) You understand the point? (14:37) So Satan is not omniscient, is he? (14:40) Because Satan, looking at the planet Earth, and he wants to find the people to mislead. (14:45) He says, ah, there's Massachusetts, I better go and mislead those people. (14:49) And he sees the brewery and says, oh no, those are mine, they're in my pocket. (14:53) Let me find another place. Speaker 2 (14:54) These are my guys. (14:56) But you know, Rashad, when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala created the yeast cell, he created it for this discovery. Speaker 1 (15:07) Yes, for that design. (15:08) Why didn't anybody think of potassium hydroxide? (15:10) They used sodium hydroxide hydrolysis. (15:13) I think they concluded from that that potassium hydroxide did not work. (15:17) Because sodium and potassium are very similar. (15:19) They tried acids, all kinds of acids, and they didn't work. (15:23) But potassium hydroxide worked. Speaker 6 (15:24) Why didn't you think of that? Speaker 1 (15:26) I don't know. Speaker 2 (15:27) Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Speaker 1 (15:28) I think I read all the literature and I found that they used all these but not potassium hydroxide. (15:32) I said, hmm, literature was broken in the protein. (15:40) Pardon? Speaker 4 (15:43) Yes, of course. (15:44) What is it? Speaker 1 (15:45) I don't know, I have to look up the table. (15:53) 56 is ayat, but one of the isomers is 57, and surah 57 is ayat. (15:59) There's a whole book on that. (16:02) What is surah, what is it? (16:03) So, Satan's omniscience is eliminated because of this. (16:08) Because this is the biggest defeat for Satan. (16:12) The miracle of the Quran is something that he worked very hard to prevent, but it came out of his pocket. Speaker 2 (16:20) But he wasn't even aware of it. (16:21) It's Baha'ism. Speaker 1 (16:27) He established Baha'ism. (16:32) It's easy for him to know that. (16:34) It's very easy for him to know that. (16:36) Satan probably knew, in that other dimension, Satan probably knows that all God's creation has the 19 on it. (16:45) And then he reads in the Quran, on it are 19. (16:49) So, I mean, he's not stupid, by no means. (16:52) He's very stupid, I'm sorry, but I mean, the relative. Speaker 3 (16:55) He's sly, he's sly. Speaker 1 (16:58) He's very stupid for thinking that he can be a god. Speaker 9 (17:01) But he has a lot of knowledge. Speaker 1 (17:03) Yes. Speaker 5 (17:03) Of course, of course. Speaker 1 (17:06) I mean, he's just overestimating his powers. (17:09) And God did not give him, actually God is giving him another chance to prove that. (17:20) But he knows better than me. (17:24) There are many, many, many millions of creatures like Satan in God's kingdom. (17:29) But he's the only one who went off. (17:39) Yes. Speaker 3 (17:40) Because he proves every day that he is really incompetent. Speaker 1 (17:43) Exactly, exactly. (17:44) But again, back to God's mercy, to give us 40 years, is really giving us the flimsiest excuses to save us, redeem us, take us to heaven. (17:58) The people who live beyond 40 and then fight God had to be very bad as far as that blasphemy. (18:07) So, if any of us had an atom of leaning towards God during that big feud, God apparently is saving all those people. (18:18) And there are millions, and we'll be so thankful in the hereafter. (18:28) Exiled from God's kingdom. Speaker 17 (18:30) In hell. (18:36) Hell is not fire. Speaker 2 (18:41) Remember hell and heaven are alike. (18:45) Who? Speaker 1 (18:49) It's one theory. (18:51) The plane leaves at what time? Speaker 5 (18:53) You have one hour. Speaker 1 (18:56) Another good surprise. (18:57) Where's the revenge? (18:59) Go kiss. (19:21) On this dimension, on this dimension. Speaker 4 (19:25) The example of the jinns. (19:30) They don't know the Quran, right? Speaker 1 (19:33) Oh, this is exactly the example I was looking for. (19:37) We were talking this morning, the same people, we were talking about how when the Prophet Muhammad said, say, I'm afraid if I disobey my Lord. (19:49) The retribution of a terrible day. (19:51) And I was looking for an example where, say, means it is done. (19:57) So the verses say, say, I was inspired that a number of jinns listened to the Quran. (20:02) And they went to the people. (20:05) So this is something I was involved in. (20:09) This is a good example. (20:09) It was already done. (20:10) I didn't need. (20:11) Say, I was inspired to say that a number of jinns listened to the Quran. (20:15) And this was already done. (20:17) So I was saying that when the Prophet Muhammad was ordered to say, I'm afraid if I disobey my Lord. (20:29) Oh, Muhammad, it was you. (20:31) Remember you asked the question if Muhammad's property belonged to the state or to his children and there was fight. (20:37) And I told you, you will not find anything that Muhammad took for himself. (20:43) And I was positive about that because of that verse. (20:47) He will see to it that nothing entered his pocket that was not belonging to him, that belonged to the state. Speaker 2 (20:53) That he was not entitled to. Speaker 1 (20:55) Right, exactly. (20:57) Because Muhammad was telling me a Hadith and Sunnah story, that after the Prophet died or fight is over, who inherits his property? (21:04) Is it the state or his children? Speaker 2 (21:06) Not all of his property, Rashad. (21:07) It was only certain property. Speaker 1 (21:09) No, none of it. (21:10) None of it. (21:11) He did not have any property that was not his. Speaker 2 (21:13) But the fight was specifically over that. Speaker 1 (21:15) There was no fight. (21:18) See, we must learn not to take off on a Hadith story or something. (21:23) You cannot make an assumption. (21:25) Somebody says this is red. (21:28) And then you go on discussing why it is red. (21:29) Because the assumption itself is wrong. (21:31) Muhammad, hell is exiled from God and not having, first of all, we have no way of comprehending what heaven is and what hell is. Speaker 3 (21:48) Hell is hell and heaven is love. Speaker 1 (21:51) Hell is exiled from God. (21:53) It is exiled that is farther from this earth. (21:57) Wake up. (21:58) We are not sleeping. Speaker 2 (22:00) No, I am listening to what you are saying. (22:02) You are saying that hell is exiled from God. Speaker 1 (22:04) I want you to understand this very look. (22:06) Listen to this carefully. (22:07) We are here in the seventh universe. (22:09) In the heart of the seventh universe. (22:11) And you can see how many problems the people have. (22:15) Alcoholism, accidents, divorce, miseries. (22:19) There will be an eighth universe on the Day of Judgment. (22:22) The eighth universe will be hell. (22:25) Can you imagine how far it will be? (22:28) This is why God says we are going to fold the heavens and the earth like the folding of a book. (22:33) And then in surah 14 God says I will create new heavens and new earth. (22:36) And this time there will be eight of them, not seven. (22:40) They will probably be much bigger. (22:42) And the eighth universe will be much farther from God. (22:45) So that is hell. (22:47) It will be much worse. (22:50) We have no way of comprehending how bad it is. (22:53) See, even now in this seventh universe God is taking care of all the provisions. (22:59) Providing for all the ants and the horses. (23:03) But in the eighth universe there is no such thing. (23:07) The people will be in the new form of butterflies instead of caterpillars. (23:14) There will be different kinds. (23:15) And they will try to come to the seventh universe. Speaker 8 (23:18) They will think of falling down. Speaker 1 (23:29) Yes, farther. (23:30) Yes, exactly. (23:43) There is no death. (23:45) It is all allegorical. (23:47) All the descriptions of hell and heaven in the Quran are allegorical, all of them. (23:51) But you get glimpses of what it is like, like in surah 57, when the hypocrites come and try to beg for light. (23:58) This means energy. (24:01) Go take a nap. (24:03) Come on, go. Speaker 4 (24:12) We will go visit our friends and relatives in hell. Speaker 2 (24:22) Most people you know. Speaker 1 (24:24) Yes. (24:27) It is going to be fantastic. (24:31) This eternal day of the real life is going to be fantastic. (24:36) You are walking around now as a king or queen on earth, but nobody knows you. (24:40) Which is wonderful, because you don't need secret service guards. (24:46) We go to the subway in Washington, D.C. There are actually guards. (24:53) Sometimes it happens literally, like with Ihsan. (24:55) She was going to Africa, Sierra Leone. (24:58) I told her they will... (25:01) I saw that you are Amiratul Umara, a servant of God and a princess, and they will meet you with red carpets and 21 gun salutes and lines of soldiers and so on. (25:13) And soon enough she went to Africa and landed, and there is the red carpet and 21 gun salutes and the soldiers and lines. (25:20) And they thought they were meeting the president of Gambia. (25:22) Who was on the same plane with her. Speaker 5 (25:33) She told them your granddaughter is a college student. Speaker 1 (26:03) And she probably thought that I was just thinking highly of you. Speaker 6 (26:28) That's right. Speaker 10 (26:36) We know. Speaker 1 (26:48) But she didn't say what Sunayta said. (26:50) So they are landing. (26:50) Imagine her granddaughter. (26:51) They are landing and there is the red carpet and the 21 gun salutes. (26:54) The thing that we said. (26:55) She said, Grandma, Grandma, they are doing it. Speaker 6 (27:00) Sunayta is right. Speaker 1 (27:11) This is what you said? (27:13) Oh, yeah. (27:15) Yes, Mohammed. Speaker 10 (27:32) Yes. Speaker 1 (27:49) It's all allegorical. (27:50) All of it. (27:51) You see, the first, at the very beginning of the Quran, when God talked about heaven and hell, he told us this is allegorical. (28:01) They are all allegorical. (28:02) It's not fire. (28:04) It's mostly darkness, actually. (28:08) Remember, we need some of your light. (28:14) Both. Speaker 6 (28:15) Both. Speaker 1 (28:18) Because the earth universe, God will not give him stars or anything. Speaker 8 (28:29) Yes. (28:29) It doesn't hurt him. Speaker 1 (28:30) He will enjoy it. (28:30) No, it will be a little. (28:31) No, it's not fire at all. (28:34) Heaven is not trees and spouses and fruit. (28:39) It's indescribably fantastic. (28:54) You see, we understand a lot from the understanding. (28:58) We have quite a bit of information in the Quran. (29:01) When we learn that we can go and visit our relatives and friends, and they will be coming around us like butterflies go around the light. (29:11) Imagine a thousand acres of alfalfa. (29:19) What is that? (29:19) Clover? (29:20) I was going to say clover. (29:21) Alfalfa, for example. (29:22) There are millions of butterflies. (29:24) And it's pitch dark in that one thousand acres. (29:28) And then you send the light. (29:33) Butterflies. (29:35) So, we will go there and we're going to visit. (29:37) And they will come and they'll beg for light. (29:41) And we'll go and meet them and we'll talk to them. (29:44) And we'll say, thank God that I didn't listen to you. (29:48) Surah 37. (29:50) Never. (29:51) No. (29:52) Because this is another point. (29:53) We will have any remorse. (29:54) We will feel sorry for them. (30:00) We will not feel sorry for them. (30:02) There will be no sorrow at all. (30:05) Even if they're the best of friends, because you realize they well deserved what they wanted. (30:11) That they insisted on going there. (30:16) I loved my father very much. (30:18) He loved me very much all our lives. (30:21) But I don't feel sorry for him. (30:22) Because he was fighting God actively. (30:27) And he insisted on going to hell. (30:31) Yeah, he wanted it bad. (30:34) Because I talked to him, I was here for four months in this masjid. (30:38) And the last, one of the times, he stood out here, outside the masjid. (30:44) I'm not going in this masjid unless you add Muhammad to the adhan. (30:51) I said, then you cannot come in here because the idol worshippers are filth. (30:56) I had to use that expression. (30:59) From the Quran. (31:00) I said, this is idol worship. (31:02) You're not satisfied with God alone. (31:04) I'm using an example of my own father because I really loved him immensely. (31:09) And I was his favorite for a long time until I said, God alone. (31:16) He went to extremes. (31:19) He went from loving me excessively to calling someone to have me put away, risen or killed. (31:25) Then he died 19 days later. (31:30) So we will not feel sorry for them because they insisted on it, this is what they wanted. (31:36) Yes, you will. Speaker 5 (31:48) Yes, going down. Speaker 1 (31:51) Down, going down. (31:53) Muhammad, did you hear this? (31:56) Did you hear what? (32:00) Faribat was saying that this means when the new universe is set up, the people heading for hell will go down to the 8th universe. (32:10) And then right after that, you read the verse, Umuh is ahead of him or whatever. (32:17) His destiny is going down. (32:20) Hawa means somebody who falls. (32:22) Like if somebody falls from a plane or a rock falls from a plane, this is Hawa. (32:27) This goes down. Speaker 2 (32:37) Shading smiles. (32:40) It means lack of support. Speaker 1 (32:46) Yahweh means to fall down. (32:54) I understand that Muhammad is described as fire in here. (32:58) And heaven is described as a garden. (33:00) But we are told this is allegorical. Speaker 2 (33:03) It's not to be allegorical because had he been addressing Eskimos, he would have spoken of a frozen place. Speaker 1 (33:13) An example. (33:35) Yes, it doesn't mean fire. Speaker 2 (33:48) Also, Muhammad, he describes paradise as a place with flowing rivers and cool breezes. (33:53) See, obviously it's not. (33:55) It's much more than that. (33:56) Rivers of milk, honey, wine. (34:01) It does in Hawaii look like paradise. Speaker 9 (34:04) But obviously it's not. Speaker 1 (34:40) What an eye never saw. (35:33) I'm trying to avoid saying this, but I say it since we're all adults anyway. (35:37) It's like a child. (35:40) You try to describe sexual orgasm to a child. (35:44) How would you describe it? (35:46) It's something that they will grow and it's ahead of them. (35:49) It's 20 years from now. (35:50) This is 6 or 7 years old. Speaker 2 (35:53) There's no way you can understand it. (35:55) Right, right. Speaker 3 (35:56) But in the socialist society, basically, they are teaching children in school. (36:03) They are 5 or 6 years old. Speaker 2 (36:06) There's no way you can understand it. Speaker 1 (36:08) How would they describe it? (36:11) How? (36:12) How would they describe it to a child who has never experienced it? Speaker 15 (36:15) Right, exactly. Speaker 6 (36:17) Listen, I will tell you a horror story. (36:24) Now we know how good Tom is. Speaker 3 (36:26) I will tell you a true fact. (36:41) Compulsory daycare for children from the age of 18 months. (36:52) There are two books that the daycare personnel are supposed to use. (36:57) Not all of them are using it because they understand that they are satanists. (37:02) But some do. (37:03) There's one book called The Love Life of Our Children. (37:07) In this book, the 18 to 20 year old daycare personnel... Speaker 1 (37:20) See, I don't want to dwell on this subject too much. Speaker 6 (37:23) I will just tell you how evil this state is. Speaker 1 (37:26) Don't worry about it. Speaker 6 (37:27) It's the least of their problems. Speaker 1 (37:29) Do they worship God alone? (37:33) This is the problem. (37:35) There's one thing I wanted to say. (37:37) Oh, I want to go back to what Elahi said. (37:39) Like having 20 ice creams. (37:41) Because the child loves ice cream. (37:43) So you give him something that he or she can identify with as something that is very good. (37:49) So that is telling us heaven is food and rivers of milk and honey and so on. (37:54) Get it? (37:59) Exactly. (38:00) Thank you. Speaker 6 (38:02) This is what I just told Eric. Speaker 1 (38:04) I said I don't dwell on this subject. (38:10) You see, Eric, this is a good demonstration of... (38:13) Remember I told you we are not politicians? (38:16) This is why as soon as you mention politics, the group loses interest. (38:20) They didn't do it on purpose to you. (38:22) They're not being discourteous to you. (38:24) I understand. (38:24) But it's just that we're not interested in politics. (38:26) We're interested in what God wants us to do. (38:29) Politics don't mean a thing. (38:30) I always tell my friends, this is the least of their problems. (38:33) Do they worship God alone? Speaker 3 (38:36) I just wanted to give an example of how Satan is trying to overcome this by forcing in it. Speaker 1 (38:44) Exactly. (38:45) But it's all over the place, yes. Speaker 3 (38:46) It's terrible. Speaker 1 (38:47) Yes. (38:53) Okay, let's go to the next verse. (38:57) Number 27, and he is the one, there's only one who initiates the creation. (39:04) Remember Chester in his speech said we cannot create the wing of a fly? Speaker 2 (39:08) We cannot create anything. Speaker 1 (39:10) The wing of a fly, do you know how much weight that is? (39:13) Do you know what it is made of? Speaker 2 (39:15) Gasoline. Speaker 1 (39:15) If you look under the microscope, you can see those. (39:19) It's built, it's designed, and it moves at 10,000 movements per minute. (39:26) Yes. (39:29) And it doesn't just move like this, I'm simplifying it. (39:33) There's an angle. (39:34) There's a specific movement, they did it in slow motion, and it's really... (39:39) To make it fly, yes. (39:42) You can write a book on the movement of the fly's wing and how it is designed. (39:47) Now what makes it, think of a number 8 that the wing is drawing. (39:53) And you try to chase the fly with all your abilities, and you sneak up on the fly, and you go very slowly, and... (40:06) They have radars. Speaker 9 (40:18) Right. (40:22) Yes, immediately, yes. Speaker 1 (40:24) As a matter of fact, it's on the spot. (40:26) The mouth of the fly secretes enzymes that break up the sugar to its components, the glucose and fructose. (40:33) So the fly is absorbing either glucose or fructose. (40:36) How are we going to bind them back together? (40:45) Enzyme is a catalyst. (40:47) Any enzyme is a catalyst. (40:48) It breaks up chemicals in an unusual manner. (40:53) It works on the chemical bonds between the two molecules, glucose and fructose. (40:57) I'll send you a bill for this chemistry lesson. (41:01) He is the one who initiates the creation, then repeats it. (41:04) This is the easiest thing for him. (41:06) And repeats it can mean here in this world, where you see Elahi duplicated by Lillian. (41:11) It's a repetition. (41:13) There is Lillian all over again. (41:14) Elahi all over again. (41:17) Or repeats it means in the hereafter. (41:20) This is the easiest thing for him. Speaker 2 (41:24) Easiest means, he's using a figure of speech. (41:29) It means that it's very, very, very easy for him. (41:31) It does not represent any... (41:33) Yes. (41:33) Because you see, the creation of the universe, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, is more difficult than the creation of... (41:39) Exactly. (41:39) But since Allah creates by instructing, by saying kun, kun, a camel or kun, a fly is the same. (41:49) Right. Speaker 1 (41:51) It's a figure of speech, I think. (41:53) I think this is the time to address the blasphemy in the Bible, the human blasphemy, where it says, God created the heavens and the earth and then rested on the seventh day. (42:04) We have the statement here in the Quran that says, we created the heavens and the earth and I was not tired at all. (42:11) It says, no tiresome touched me, God says. (42:13) This is in surah 50. (42:15) See if you can find it. (42:17) It's very important to know this. (42:19) God says it's the easiest thing for him. Speaker 2 (42:28) And this is running them. Speaker 9 (42:33) It's all about the creation itself. (42:36) Yes. (42:37) No fatigue. Speaker 3 (42:38) 50-38. (42:39) 50-38. Speaker 9 (42:40) No fatigue. Speaker 1 (42:43) When I look up, it's 5-2-0, 5-20. (42:46) Verse 38. (42:47) What's your new Quran? (42:48) Oh. (42:50) It says, we have created the heavens and the earth and everything between them in six days and no fatigue touched us. Speaker 2 (42:57) So it doesn't need to rest on the seventh day. Speaker 1 (42:59) This particular verse, which happens to be 19 times 2, is a direct answer to the statement of the writers of the Bible. (43:12) They confound the truth with falsehood. Speaker 5 (43:14) Yes? Speaker 1 (43:26) This is what this man just quoted. (43:27) But this has to do with running the universe. (43:30) The verse here that we're discussing, it's the easiest thing for him, creation. (43:36) It's the easiest thing. (43:36) So directly related to it is 50-38. (43:39) And it is a direct answer to that Bible writers. (43:47) Nice. (43:53) Okay. (43:54) Very good question. (43:55) Six days. (43:56) Although we'll go into another surah, but the whole purpose of this Quranic study is to understand. (44:00) The six days is a yardstick. (44:02) Six days has nothing to do with days. (44:04) It's a yardstick measurement. (44:09) Who's making the noise? (44:16) When you hear noises, please look and see if your child is making the noise. (44:19) It's your responsibility to keep it quiet. (44:22) The six days is a yardstick. (44:24) For example, we have this clock. (44:25) It's a yardstick. (44:26) We look at it and we say, the plane will leave in one hour. (44:30) So we know what one hour is. (44:33) It's a yardstick. (44:34) 24 hours in the day. (44:36) So God told us that God created the heavens and the earth in six days. (44:40) But we learn also that He created the earth in four days. (44:44) Even though the earth is a tiny, tiny moment. (44:46) What does this tell us? (44:47) There's a lot of information in this data. (44:50) What does this tell us? (44:51) If all these billions, trillions, decillions of heavenly bodies and their precise orbits were all created in two days, and this tiny, tiny moment the earth was created in four days. (45:02) What does this tell us? (45:03) It tells us there is no life out there. (45:06) As confirmed by our journeys to the whole solar system, we didn't see any creature on Neptune. (45:13) Or the moon or Mars. (45:15) There's not a single tree out there. (45:18) But here, all the horses need alfalfa and beans, barley. (45:24) So every grain of barley has to be calculated which horse is going to eat this. (45:28) So that's why it took four days. (45:30) The six days, therefore, is a yardstick. (45:32) It has nothing to do with days or years. Speaker 2 (45:36) Again, it's not a measure of time. (45:38) Because, like I said, God says bee, and it's a camel, and bee and it is a fly. (45:45) It's the same thing. (45:46) The process is the same. Speaker 1 (45:47) I think a good demonstration is Moses' staff. (45:51) Bee, a snake. (45:52) It was a snake. (45:52) On the spot. (45:54) It's like that. (45:55) So I know what bee and it is. Speaker 2 (45:59) Could it not be a measure of the importance Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala places on the test and on the human race? Speaker 1 (46:07) No, no. (46:08) It's really... (46:10) It is also literal. (46:12) When God says He created the earth in four days and the whole universe in two additional days. (46:21) There is a physical creation process. (46:30) The sun rises in two hours. (46:33) Every day until the end of the world. (46:36) Indicates the preciseness. (46:38) What is out there? (46:40) There's nothing. (46:40) There's space. (46:41) Anything can go in any orbit. (46:43) But it is not. (46:44) There is a line. (46:45) Can you imagine a line? (46:46) The sun is moving in and the earth is moving in and the moon is moving in. (46:49) The whole thing is moving. (46:51) The earth around the sun and the moon around the earth. (46:56) Okay, the moon around the earth and the both of them around the sun. (46:58) And the sun around something else in the galaxy. (47:00) And the whole galaxy around something else. (47:02) It's very, very precise. Speaker 3 (47:03) Suddenly it's little. Speaker 1 (47:06) Exactly. (47:07) And that was measured. (47:09) That rain fell on the dining hall where we were meeting. Speaker 2 (47:13) When we decided to change the schedule. (47:15) Yes. Speaker 1 (47:15) No, because Cecilia was there. (47:17) And this frozen water came down. (47:22) It's all Cecilia's fault. (47:27) Confess. Speaker 10 (47:29) Yes. Speaker 4 (47:35) But it's not simple. (47:37) No. Speaker 2 (47:38) There's no engine pushing these things. Speaker 1 (47:43) See, what happened was, we are living in the Big Bang right now. (47:49) We are living right now in the Big Bang. (47:51) Remember God says that the universe is expanding? (47:54) Yes. (47:54) There is movement. (47:57) Why is the earth hanging in space? (48:00) What is it that's holding it in space? Speaker 2 (48:03) The will of God. Speaker 1 (48:03) Steel. (48:05) Right. (48:05) It's like a bullet out of a gun. (48:09) Let's say the bullet travels from here to that wall. (48:12) Why is it hanging in space? (48:14) Let's stop everything. (48:16) The bullet, you shoot a bullet from here to here. (48:19) And as the bullet reaches this part right here. Speaker 6 (48:21) You freeze everything. Speaker 1 (48:22) Freeze everything. (48:24) Why is it hanging in space? (48:26) Because of the power of explosion. (48:29) Explosion from the gun. (48:32) The Big Bang theory, which is confirmed in the Quran, Surah 21, verse 30. (48:40) Keep Hani away from Lillian. (48:43) The Big Bang theory is confirmed in the Quran and confirmed by our own theories. (48:50) The Big Bang is like this. (48:53) There are pieces and shrapnel. (48:56) Think of them as a bomb that exploded. (48:58) And we are sitting in one of the shrapnels. (49:00) And it's traveling. (49:08) So God's creation is controlling this. (49:12) It's not an uncontrolled explosion. (49:14) So all these shrapnels are moving according to laws, physical laws, that God already set in motion. Speaker 2 (49:20) Created. (49:21) You know, if we can just expand this. (49:24) There's no angel holding the sun. (49:26) If we can just expand this for a moment. (49:30) Magnets. (49:30) You have a North Pole and a South Pole. (49:33) How does the North Pole know that this guy is a South Pole and he should be pushed away? (49:39) Rather than another North... (49:41) Sorry, a North Pole that should be pushed away. (49:44) Rather than a South Pole that should be attracted. (49:46) How does a sodium atom recognize that this is a hydroxide molecule and it should be attracted? (49:55) Rather than an iron atom that should be pushed away. (49:59) How do they recognize... Speaker 1 (50:00) Electromagnetic forces. Speaker 2 (50:03) We don't see. Speaker 1 (50:05) There are physical forces. (50:06) For example, the sodium hydroxide, they click. (50:09) There's a certain thing that they click perfectly into each other to form the salt. (50:15) This is the physical thing. (50:16) But there's also between them the electromagnetic forces that attract or repel repulsion. Speaker 2 (50:21) Yeah, but how do they know? (50:24) The mechanism that pushes or attracts. (50:26) Yes. (50:27) How does it know that this is to be... (50:29) Well, God set the laws for this. Speaker 1 (50:31) So it's not angels who are doing it? (50:34) No. (50:34) Not angels, no. (50:35) That would be very difficult, to get an angel to have your exchange of food between your lungs and your blood and the oxygen. (50:44) You know, when they breathe, the oxygen goes in there to oxidize food. (50:48) It's coming in the blood to the lung. (50:51) The lungs are little balloons, very little balloons with blood vessels around them, and they take the oxygen, get out the carbon dioxide. (50:57) There are billions of biochemical reactions going on. (50:59) Do you want an angel for every reaction? (51:01) Why not? (51:04) You'll have two billion angels inside your body. (51:06) The angel can hold the whole earth in one hand. (51:11) An angel can hold the whole planet earth in one hand. (51:13) One angel. (51:15) There are enormous creatures. Speaker 2 (51:16) Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is guarding us. (51:18) How are the two of them guarding us? Speaker 1 (51:21) They are. (51:22) Because they have the capacity of being here at the same time. (51:26) Or not necessarily to shrink. (51:29) They may be encompassing the whole earth, but they are watching you. Speaker 2 (51:33) And when we say, ِّب رَ ُ ُ ال َّشْی ِطی ِن ب ِم ْن َح َمَزا ِت ِ أ َك َ ُعوذ ُ ب َرِّبي ُم ِ َوأ َك َ ُعوذ ََن ْكت أ When comes the shaitan to bother you, get out of here. Speaker 1 (51:42) So an angel comes in? (51:44) Yes. (51:45) To? (51:46) To keep away the devil and his whispering. (51:50) I mean, literally, the devil comes and whispers to you, and he'll tell you a little fear in your understanding of the Quran. (51:55) But when you seek refuge in God, there is an angel assigned to come and keep those... (52:00) Whose job is to... (52:00) Because we're talking about the whole other dimension. (52:03) Invisible forces, invisible soldiers, the Quran always talks about them. (52:07) So we're unaware of what is happening in the invisible. (52:12) Also in the invisible dimension, there is no time, for example. (52:17) That's right. (52:18) And there is no distance. (52:21) So how will the angels... (52:23) See, we think with our own dimension, how will they travel 190 billion light years in one day, or in five minutes? (52:31) Because the distance is zero and the time is zero, so they can travel in a second. (52:38) I don't want to go too deep into this, but... Speaker 4 (52:40) Can I ask one question? (52:41) Yes. (52:41) A question? (52:44) Are you going to ask a seemingly dumb question about an angel pushing? (52:56) Right. Speaker 1 (52:57) The angels push the clouds. Speaker 4 (52:59) Right. Speaker 1 (53:00) The angels push the clouds, distribute provisions. (53:02) This has to do with us. (53:04) This is the meaning of the angels falling prostrate before Adam, the human being. Speaker 2 (53:09) Allah says that the angels push the clouds? (53:12) Yes, but in reality they're driving the wind. Speaker 1 (53:19) And they use for or against. (53:24) God says that with thunder and the lightning, He hits whomever He wills. Speaker 2 (53:27) Yes, He sends the lightning. Speaker 1 (53:31) Yes. (53:32) The angels have lots of functions here on the planet Earth, mainly associated with us. (53:37) They have to do with us. Speaker 2 (53:39) I thought actually... Speaker 1 (53:40) No, not the thunder. (53:42) This is the big bang that's causing this. (53:44) Laws that rule that. (53:47) The angels will not go in there and connect the atoms and the molecules. (53:52) They follow laws. (53:53) Electromagnetic laws. (54:12) Sure, why not? (54:15) I didn't understand. (54:16) The blasphemy of Satan. (54:18) But this is a deliberate plan to give us the test. Speaker 2 (54:24) The purpose of all of this is to create the environment for the test. (54:28) Run the test, yes. Speaker 1 (54:29) The purpose of the whole of the seven universes. (54:30) It's all in the manifesto. (54:35) Number 28. (54:39) He cites for you herein an example from among yourselves. (54:42) 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 Ahmad's allegiance as is being paid to you? (54:52) We thus explain the revelations for the people who understand. (54:56) Okay, to make you understand this, they say Muhammad will intercede on the Day of Judgment. (55:02) So let us put this in practice. (55:05) The Day of Judgment comes, and here is a man who is interceding on behalf of the believers. (55:10) So... Speaker 2 (55:10) Let Hagi explain. Speaker 1 (55:13) Yes, this is Ehsan's explanation. (55:16) So Mr. Smith sees that Muhammad is interceding and putting the people in heaven, according to their principles, right? (55:24) So Mr. Smith goes to Muhammad and says, please intercede on my behalf, I want to go to heaven. (55:27) So Muhammad says, who are you? (55:29) He says, I'm Mr. Smith, I'm a good man. (55:32) So the question is, how does Muhammad... (55:34) We ask them, how will Muhammad know that Mr. Smith is a good man who deserves to go to heaven? (55:39) They say, well, God will tell him. (55:42) So, okay, okay. (55:43) So Muhammad will say, God, is Mr. Smith good enough to go to heaven? (55:47) And God will say, yes, he's going to go. (55:49) And Muhammad will say, okay, put him in heaven. (55:55) Isn't this what intercession is? (55:57) I mean... (55:59) So what did he do? (56:00) I mean, what did Muhammad do? (56:02) So what they did was they made God Muhammad's secretary. (56:06) Subhanallah. (56:07) God is glorified. (56:10) Can you see the blasphemous? (56:13) They say, does Muhammad know all the people who are good and all the people who deserve to go to heaven? (56:18) Yes. (56:19) Suppose I go to him, to Muhammad, and say, please intercede on my behalf. (56:23) I'm a good believer, I used to pray five times a day, and I believe the Quran alone. (56:27) I need to go to heaven. (56:31) Will he know? (56:35) He'll say, who are you? (56:36) I'll say, I'm Rashad. (56:38) So according to them, he will ask God, Rashad, does he deserve to go to heaven? (56:42) God will say, yes. (56:44) So what is Muhammad doing then? (56:47) Since God already knows, he can see. (56:53) So they're setting up rivals with God. (56:56) This intercession business. (56:59) It's like God's intercession also. (57:00) Honey, go sit with Daddy, honey. (57:07) This is the absurdity of idolatry. (57:09) This is why it is absurd, and why it is blasphemous. (57:15) They don't think, they don't put it into practice. (57:17) How will it happen? (57:23) And when the people get sick and they write thanks notes to St. Jude, this is setting up a rival with God, giving power to powerless creatures. (57:37) 29. (57:38) Indeed, the transgressors have followed their own opinions without knowledge. (57:41) Thus, who can guide those who have been sent astray by God? (57:45) No one can help them. (57:48) As you know by now, there's nothing you can do to make them understand. (57:54) Because God himself has sent them astray. (57:58) God sent them astray. (58:00) How can you guide them? (58:02) What are you trying to do? (58:05) Look here, there's a great miracle. (58:07) Can't you see it? (58:08) What's wrong with you? (58:10) You know what's wrong with the person. (58:12) Muhammad gets very upset with those people. (58:17) Muhammad has the most logical approach to those people who do not follow the Quran alone. (58:21) He says, it tells you the Quran is fully detained. (58:24) So why do you need anything else? (58:28) It tells you God bears witness, la ilaha illallah. (58:31) Why do you have to add something else? (58:36) But it's because God sent them astray. Speaker 2 (58:39) They are prevented. (58:41) But they made the choice first, though. (58:43) Yes, of course. (58:43) They decided to go astray, so God says, alright, if you're committed down this road, go. Speaker 1 (58:47) Again, it's the two key words. (58:50) God tells everybody in the direction he chose. (58:55) In other words, there are several directions, right? (58:57) And you make the decision. (58:59) This is the direction I want, and God will help us in this direction. (59:03) Like I said yesterday, the Pope probably saw very good signs that Mary is the mother of God. (59:10) So God helps him in that direction. (59:12) If he makes that strange statement, he will see signs. (59:18) Because you see him going around hypnotized and really, you know, believing Mary is the mother of God. (59:25) He's convinced, you know, he's holy. (59:28) Your holiness. (59:32) Of course he does. (59:34) This is one of the major doctrines, that Mary is the mother of God. (59:38) And I never forget it, because that was the first question my mother-in-law asked me. Speaker 2 (59:43) God was an orphan child. Speaker 1 (59:45) Do you believe in the mother of God? Speaker 2 (59:47) No. Speaker 1 (59:48) After I finished laughing, by the time I finished laughing, she didn't want me marrying her daughter. Speaker 2 (59:57) Abu Rushd, can I ask one question relating to number 28? (1:00:01) Well, after Mubalq, because she raised her hand first. Speaker 1 (1:00:03) Okay. (1:00:34) Nawalihi means return him. (1:00:36) Matawalla means the choice, the direction. Speaker 2 (1:01:10) They stripped him of his divinity. (1:01:12) They made him human. (1:01:14) In fact, speaking of... (1:01:19) Allah did not told us. (1:01:25) He said, God covered him. Speaker 1 (1:01:28) The Christian? Speaker 2 (1:01:29) Yeah. (1:01:30) The prophet. Speaker 1 (1:01:32) It's a source of reproduction. (1:01:42) It's like making love to a virus. (1:01:43) Would you like to make love to a virus? (1:01:48) I mean, it's not even that. (1:01:52) So, they did not value God. (1:01:55) They have no... Speaker 5 (1:01:56) You can see the blasphemy. Speaker 2 (1:02:02) They stripped him of his divinity. (1:02:04) They made him human. (1:02:05) In fact, they did exactly the opposite. (1:02:08) They say that he created man in his image. (1:02:12) The opposite exactly has happened. (1:02:14) They created God in their image. Speaker 1 (1:02:16) Okay, with this picture in our mind, just look at the end of Surah 9. (1:02:21) Because you'll understand why. (1:02:24) You'll understand why. (1:02:30) Page 311, verse 88. (1:02:33) The great blasphemy. (1:02:35) They said the most gracious has begotten his son. (1:02:38) You have uttered a gross blasphemy. (1:02:40) The heavens are about to shatter therefrom. (1:02:43) The earth is about to tear asunder. (1:02:45) And the mountains are about to crumble. (1:02:48) Because they invented for the most gracious a son. (1:02:51) So, you can see the grossness of that blasphemy. (1:02:56) The mountains are about to crumble. (1:02:58) The heavens are about to shatter. (1:03:00) It's just a stupid blasphemy. Speaker 7 (1:03:05) You know, God spoke the words and said it. (1:03:17) He said it. (1:03:19) These are their own words. Speaker 1 (1:03:22) What do you want? (1:03:23) When you encounter Christians... (1:03:25) I'll probably be repeating this for the next few weeks. (1:03:27) When you encounter Christians, ask them where does it say in the Quran that Jesus is God? (1:03:30) In the Bible that Jesus is God. (1:03:32) Because there is no such thing. (1:03:33) They come up with these indirect statements. (1:03:36) I am the way, I am the life, I am the truth. (1:03:38) Tell them, yes, he may be the way, he may be the life, he may be the truth. (1:03:41) But it doesn't say, I am God. (1:03:42) What does it say? (1:03:44) It's very easy to say, I am the way, I am the life, I am the truth, I am God. Speaker 2 (1:03:47) It's very easy. (1:03:49) What I tell them is that Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, in the Quran, on every page, he stresses his oneness. (1:03:55) That he is the creator, he is the one God. (1:03:57) It is the principle that the Quran is all about. (1:04:01) The oneness of God. (1:04:01) Now, if Jesus is God, then obviously it must be very important. (1:04:06) Show me once where he states that he is God. (1:04:08) Otherwise, once. (1:04:10) And in fact, nowhere does he, nowhere, does he say that he is God or the son of God or worship me. Speaker 1 (1:04:17) Nowhere does he say that. (1:04:18) Remember the Catholic man who came to join us on the table at the Future Society meeting? (1:04:25) And he first said, he is a Catholic, and he made the statement that Jesus was God. (1:04:29) They said, where does he say that in the Bible? (1:04:33) Never. Speaker 2 (1:04:34) Nowhere in the Bible does he say that. (1:04:36) Most of them don't know, Arash. (1:04:37) They don't know that he doesn't say that. (1:04:39) Especially Catholics. (1:04:41) Because Catholics are not allowed to read the Bible. (1:04:43) Well, now they are, but until a short while ago, they were not allowed to read the Gospel, the Bible. Speaker 16 (1:04:50) Even now they discourage that. Speaker 2 (1:04:52) Cecilia is going to say something, but before she says something, what happened to the New York group? Speaker 1 (1:05:05) They left. Speaker 13 (1:05:06) A part of them left, correct? Speaker 1 (1:05:09) No, Farid was by herself. (1:05:12) But what happened to her group, Farid? (1:05:15) Cecilia's group, Nicole and Gary. Speaker 14 (1:05:18) How? (1:05:19) So why is Cecilia here? Speaker 6 (1:05:25) She just walked in and she is sitting. Speaker 7 (1:05:30) Right. Speaker 1 (1:05:36) So they think. (1:05:37) She was crying. (1:05:38) The first time she cried, they were leaving Massachusetts. (1:05:41) She was making two short trips and she was crying. (1:05:44) And God heard her. (1:05:46) Actually, they didn't take her wrong ticket in New York. (1:05:49) This was all done in retrospect. (1:05:53) Retroactive, it was a retroactive action. (1:05:56) Because when she cried here, some angels, God, we have to attribute the action to God. (1:06:00) God said, OK, keep her one more day. (1:06:03) Be anything. (1:06:05) So they changed the ticket right in her purse. (1:06:18) You left her asking, you would have been sitting in St. Louis somewhere. (1:07:16) Let's look at the next page, Cecilia. (1:07:22) It says, Taha, we did not reveal the Quran to you to cause you any trouble, only to remind the reverend. (1:07:29) Now we are going to see the purpose of revealing the Quran. (1:07:31) It is a great event. (1:07:33) A revelation from the creator of the heavens, the creator of earth and the high heavens. (1:07:39) The most gracious, he has assumed all authority. (1:07:42) To him belongs everything in the heavens and the earth and everything between them and everything beneath the ground. (1:07:51) Oh, wait. (1:07:53) This is not the one, 18. (1:07:57) Let's go to 18, the surah. (1:08:01) This is the surah right after. (1:08:03) That was beautiful, though. Speaker 13 (1:08:04) Masha'Allah. (1:08:08) Yes, Alhamdulillah. Speaker 1 (1:08:10) Surah 18. (1:08:14) Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. (1:08:15) Praise God who revealed to his servant this scripture and made it flawless. (1:08:20) A perfect scripture, why? (1:08:22) To warn of severe retribution from him and to deliver good news to the believers who lead a righteous life, that they have earned the beautiful recompense wherein they abide forever, and to warn those who said God has begotten his son. (1:08:36) It is one of the main objectives of the Quran. (1:08:46) So it is a major issue, it is a major, major issue. (1:08:48) And the destruction of one of Satan's biggest blasphemies. (1:08:53) By which he recruits his constituents. (1:08:59) Somehow we have a very interesting discussion that whenever we finish the page, we open it. (1:09:04) Let's take a break. (1:09:06) Just general, general. (1:09:11) What is the next flight? Speaker 3 (1:09:12) 3 o'clock. Speaker 7 (1:09:15) Oh, 3 o'clock, this is the time. Speaker 1 (1:09:20) Unless you get to the airport early. (1:09:26) For those who didn't hear the story yet, two crazy people went to the counter this morning at the airport and told the employees at the counter, we'd like to fly to California. (1:09:38) And the airline people said, we're very sorry with a sad face and a serious face, we're sorry this flight is cancelled today because it's Labor Day. (1:09:46) And these two crazy people cheered up and said, really? (1:09:48) Really? (1:09:51) The airline employees are used to fights. (1:09:55) They were ready to fight. (1:09:58) Because the people usually get upset. (1:10:01) And the people are apologizing. (1:10:02) We're sorry the flight is cancelled. (1:10:04) And they're waiting for the reaction and to be defensive about it. (1:10:11) And then they also saw this Japanese-looking girl utter two Arabic words. (1:10:16) Alhamdulillah. Speaker 6 (1:10:35) They're like, they're still talking to themselves, you know. Speaker 1 (1:10:54) A very long number. (1:11:04) This long number, each one of these is called 12,000. (1:11:27) And the long number itself, there are many others. Speaker 2 (1:11:44) No, no, I'm saying that the 12,000. Speaker 1 (1:12:14) Now, every time you come across a Bismillah, and we have a totally new number. (1:13:05) When you come to surah number 9, surah number 9, the new number is you. Speaker 4 (1:16:56) The total number of verses in Quran. (1:16:57) It's two times, and the 2, 3, 4, 8. Speaker 3 (1:17:16) Now put it under and see how many verses there are. (1:17:19) And you get 12,692. Speaker 1 (1:19:38) An overwhelming miracle. (1:19:41) It would have been fascinating. Speaker 3 (1:20:22) And it will convince. (1:20:57) A warning. Speaker 1 (1:21:18) Because the sample that we were, they tried to, and they were ready to kill me. (1:22:18) So, this translation, I have to interrupt here and talk about the only person who made it possible. (1:23:03) These are, these are the favorite verses. (1:23:26) Right. (1:23:28) I prayed behind him and he read it. (1:23:46) I have no idea what's in it. (1:24:59) It could have been a bunch of boring nonsense. Speaker 3 (1:25:11) I have, you know why? (1:25:14) I have good friends, and they're joking with me. (1:25:18) And they bought this book, Satanic Verse, and they put it on the table just to offend me. (1:25:23) Their house burnt down. Speaker 6 (1:25:24) Yeah. (1:25:28) Their house burnt down. Speaker 12 (1:25:32) It's true. Speaker 3 (1:25:33) In China, he doesn't care. Speaker 12 (1:26:11) Yeah. (1:26:11) Yeah, he must rule. Speaker 1 (1:26:28) When God teaches us, the famous authors of this country defending him with a big sign behind him that says nothing but 19. (1:26:39) Salman Rushdie being born on the 19th of June. (1:26:42) The English name of Salman Rushdie, 2 or 3 or 10 of them are coincidences. (1:27:05) Oh, the address. Speaker 8 (1:27:07) The address that you write to. Speaker 3 (1:27:30) Lots of people will find out what it is. Speaker 12 (1:27:34) They have all different colors. Speaker 3 (1:27:50) Then, I want to read it. (1:28:04) I laugh at them. Speaker 12 (1:28:08) Yeah, I like them. Speaker 3 (1:28:20) Yes, but, then I say, but what? (1:28:22) Wait. (1:28:23) First of all, you should read it. (1:28:28) Then, if you see something wrong, you condemn it. (1:29:09) Going further in 74, 38. (1:29:18) Except those on the right. (1:29:30) Except those on the right. (1:29:40) Yeah, but I don't understand what it means being on the right. Speaker 1 (1:29:42) Are they wrong? (1:29:43) Are they wrong or right? Speaker 3 (1:29:45) Being right, you mean. Speaker 1 (1:29:47) Well, they are on the right. (1:29:48) Are they right or wrong? (1:29:50) They must be right. Speaker 3 (1:29:51) They are right, but why did you choose to translate it being? (1:29:56) Except for those on the right. Speaker 2 (1:29:59) That's what the Arabic says, on the right. Speaker 3 (1:30:01) Yeah, so it must have another meaning than being. (1:30:04) Except for those being right. Speaker 2 (1:30:05) But they happen to be right also. Speaker 3 (1:30:07) Yes, but this, we are not right. (1:30:15) Because we are, we have made this, we are chosen. (1:30:23) Obviously, chosen. (1:30:25) Is it because you are right? (1:30:26) No, I didn't do it on my own. (1:30:28) But it doesn't say so in Arabic. Speaker 1 (1:30:30) Whatever you do on your own, the fact is, hopefully you are right. Speaker 11 (1:30:34) Yes, I hope so. (1:30:36) That's what you mean, because on the Day of Judgment, that's what you mean. (1:30:47) These are on the right, they are the ones chosen. Speaker 1 (1:30:49) How can you continuously be on the right and right? Speaker 3 (1:30:51) He says that every soul is trapped by its sins. (1:30:58) Except for those on the right.
