41) Quran Study: Sura 54

Study Sura 54 by Rashad Khalifa, Al-fatiha for anything you wish, extreme libertarianism

Speaker 1 (0:00) And this is not the first time, Ihsan was in Washington, I was talking to her or something, and they were doing the same thing, the same Quranic study as we're doing here, same place. (0:13) Exactly the same place. (0:19) This surah is entitled The Moon. (0:22) As you know, the name of the surah reflects the most important component in that chapter, and you'll find it in the first verse. (0:33) It is one of the prophecies regarding the end of the world. (0:38) When the hour approaches, the moon will split. (0:42) And this prophecy already happened in the early 70s. (0:48) You can go right now to Flandreau Observatory and see a piece of the moon there. (0:54) So if this is not the splitting of the moon, I don't know what is. (0:57) People think of the splitting of the moon like the moon will be cut in half. (1:04) But the moon is split in that we went to the moon and brought a ton or two of moon material. (1:15) So this prophecy has been fulfilled. (1:18) I think there are just two prophecies that remain unfulfilled. (1:27) One is the smoke that will envelop the whole earth. (1:33) And the other is Gog and Magog, that's the last one. (1:36) Gog and Magog will be about nine years before the end of the world, according to the Quranic calculation. (1:48) In our generation, we've witnessed two prophecies fulfilled. (1:56) This one, the splitting of the moon, and the mathematical code of the Quran, which probably would take the world maybe ten more years to really appreciate the fact that we now have physical evidence for the existence of God, and for the authenticity of the Quran as the word of God, that it is mathematically composed beyond human ability. (2:21) And this is one sign that came right out of this mouth, as you know. (2:28) Number two, yet, whenever they see a sign, they turn away saying, this is obviously magic. (2:39) I just don't know what it will take for the human race to believe in God, or to believe anything. (2:47) For example, they're waiting for the second coming of Jesus, which will not happen until the day of resurrection. (2:53) But just imagine if Jesus showed up today and said, I am Jesus Christ, what would they do? (3:01) Somebody showed up and he's really Jesus Christ, and he said, I am Jesus, what would they do? (3:08) What is it that will prove to them that he is the Messiah to the people? (3:17) I think they'll first put him in the crazy house, and then they'll crucify him all over again. (3:29) Because we've been witnessing the mathematical composition of the scriptures now, it is physical evidence, there's nothing more physical than mathematics. (3:38) It's way beyond the human ability, but we still see people resisting it. (3:44) They call, they say, this is obviously magic. (3:50) Just what will it take for them to believe the Messiah if he shows up? (3:57) Or the Mahdi, or whatever they're expecting. (4:06) Number three, they disbelieve and follow their own opinions, and what they could physically sense. (4:17) From very early they said, let us see God, we have to see God, show us God. (4:20) They don't realize that they cannot see God. (4:27) They don't, they are not, this whole earth cannot stand the presence of God. (4:32) As we learn from the Quran, from 7, 143. (4:38) The whole earth will crumble if God came close enough. (4:46) And I think Satan played a trick on the humans, they told them God is infinite. (4:51) Which sounds appealing to the believer, but it does not, because infinite means God is here. (4:56) And we learn from the Quran that God is not here, physically. (5:00) God controls every atom in the universe, by remote control. (5:05) Every single atom. (5:10) We know that the world will end, will actually end, when God physically comes towards this universe. (5:16) The sun will crash into the moon, all the stars will crash into each other. (5:20) Because they cannot stand the physical presence of God. (5:23) And this leads us to understand the mechanism of preparing to meet God. (5:29) How can we prepare to meet God? (5:32) God left it completely up to us. (5:36) If we worship God, develop our soul, feed the soul. (5:40) Just like when you feed the body, breakfast, lunch and dinner. (5:43) If we feed the soul, we will be prepared. (5:48) Those who fail to prepare themselves will run away from God. (5:52) On their own, going to hell. (5:55) God does not put a single person in hell. (5:59) Not one. (6:00) But they go there on their own volition. (6:03) Because they did not, they failed to feed their soul every day, like they feed their body. (6:09) They are feeding the wrong entity. (6:12) The entity that dies and goes to death. (6:15) And they failed to nourish the eternal entity, the real person. (6:23) What is the difference between a living person and a dead person? (6:29) Let's take a person five minutes before he or she dies. (6:33) What is the difference between that person and ten minutes later? (6:38) This one is alert, intellectual, talks, walks. (6:41) The other one is still. (6:42) What happened between the two? (6:46) The person departed. (6:48) There is no more person in the body. (6:51) That's what death is. (6:53) Okay, that person that left, what does he or she look like? (6:59) That's invisible to us right now. (7:00) But when you move to that other dimension, you will see. (7:06) The soul does not feel the starvation or the hunger. (7:09) But the body does. (7:11) And when the separation happens, separation of the soul from the body, that's when all the starvation will be felt. (7:20) Too late then. (7:23) So this is why God teaches us all these things. (7:26) So we prepare. (7:31) Repeatedly, God says in the Quran, He does not inflict an atom's worth of injustice. (7:35) He told us exactly what to do, how to be able to stand His presence, how to make it so we can rejoin His kingdom and be with Him, and what is it that causes us to run to hell on our own. (7:57) Number four, they have received enough knowledge to set them straight. (8:03) Isn't this what I just said? (8:06) They have received enough knowledge to set them straight. (8:09) But they ignore it, don't they? (8:13) Unfortunately. (8:15) Because they only believe in the physical. (8:19) They will agree with you that this body is not them. (8:22) This body, this is not me. (8:24) You're not looking at me, you're looking at my body. (8:27) But I am invisible to you. (8:30) We are all invisible. (8:33) We're looking at the garment, the body. (8:40) They have received enough knowledge to set them straight. (8:42) God has been telling them, you must feed yourself, not just your garment, your body. (8:48) You must nourish yourself. (8:49) And God gave us exactly how to prepare and what is the food for the body, for the person. (9:01) Number five, this knowledge that was given to us is great wisdom. (9:07) Great wisdom has come to them, but the warnings seem to be useless. (9:18) The warnings are useless. (9:20) I mean, we see our parents, grandparents, and so on, they came here and left. (9:25) Where are they now? (9:26) How rich are they? (9:30) Are we going to be like them and neglect ourselves? (9:37) Most of them neglected themselves. (9:43) Great wisdom has come to them, but the warnings seem to be useless. (9:56) If there was any wisdom in the human race, we'd have half a million people in this mosque to study the Word of God and to know how our Creator is telling us to prepare ourselves for the eternal life. (10:14) This is zero. (10:15) You divide any number by infinity and you get zero. (10:19) So this world here is zero. (10:21) It's going to pass. (10:24) Since it's going to pass, it doesn't mean anything. (10:26) Just think of the last 20 years. (10:28) Where did they go? (10:30) The last 20 years. (10:32) What happened to them? (10:35) And so it will be on the last day of our lives. (10:39) It will seem like nothing, like zero. (10:42) And what counts is the eternal life. (10:45) How will you look like? (10:46) What will you look like? (10:48) Are you going to be prepared? (10:51) Did you feed your soul breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day? (10:54) Are you going to be shrunk or well-developed and nourished? (11:01) The warnings, great wisdom has been given to them, but the warnings seem to be useless. (11:13) We understand now that the reason is that the human being is stubborn and still holding to that blasphemy that we did a long time ago, billions of years ago, and caused us to come here for a second chance. (11:28) So apparently the vast majority of people are still holding to that idea that God alone is not enough, that you must have Jesus or Muhammad or Mary or somebody besides God. (11:44) We're still upholding that blasphemy. (11:53) So every page of the Quran is warning us to snap out of it and redeem ourselves and go back and rejoin God's kingdom by upholding his absolute authority. (12:07) Number six, therefore leave them alone. (12:11) The day will come when the caller calls them to something terrible. (12:17) All we can do is deliver the message, the truth. (12:26) Number seven, their eyes will be humbled as they come out of the graves like swarms of locusts. (12:39) Notice this is talking about the people who did not heed God's warnings and be like locusts. (12:48) Remember we talked about the three stages of the caterpillar? (12:54) The worm is earthbound, then it goes into the grave, the pupa, and the cocoon. (13:04) The cocoon is the grave. (13:06) And then it comes out like what? (13:07) A beautiful butterfly, the believers. (13:13) Or an ugly moth. (13:16) Or a locust. (13:17) It all depends on what we did here. (13:20) God is giving us a perfect analogy. (13:24) But this verse seven talks about people who failed to heed the warnings. (13:32) Number eight, they will be obeying the caller. (13:37) The disbelievers will say this is a difficult day because they will discover that they did not prepare for that eternal day. (13:48) It's like the day of graduation when you can tell people that you passed and you failed. (13:54) Tell some you passed and tell others you failed. (13:58) Except here, when we fail, we can always make it up. (14:03) We can try again. (14:04) But not over there. (14:07) When we are born into the hereafter, it's an irreversible process. (14:13) People who blew their chance here cannot get another chance. (14:19) In fact, God says if he gives them another chance, they will do exactly the same thing all over again. (14:23) Because as soon as they move back to this dimension, they forget. (14:28) They have no recollection whatsoever of the other dimension. (14:31) It's like we don't remember now. (14:34) We have no recollection at all of being in the other dimension, which we were. (14:40) The concept of the original sin in Christianity that some Muslims attack is really true. (14:46) The original sin. (14:47) We sin. (14:48) Every single one of us. (14:49) We blaspheme against God. (14:52) That's why you are here. (14:54) This is halfway house to hell. (14:59) But God is giving us a chance to redeem ourselves. (15:06) Number nine, before them the people of Noah have disbelieved. (15:11) They disbelieved our servant and said crazy. (15:13) He was rejected. (15:17) Number ten, he implored his Lord, I have been humiliated. (15:22) Give me victory. (15:24) Whereupon we opened the gates of the sky pouring water. (15:28) Springs gushed out from the earth. (15:31) The waters met according to predetermined judgment. (15:36) We carried him on a craft of wood and nails. (15:40) Now here is the truth about Noah's ark. (15:43) As you know, Satan and his assistants distorted this story beyond all reason. (15:52) First of all, they made the flood universal, which is not true. (15:57) They had this fantastic ark that he built with so many cubits. (16:06) And then they had him put all animals on the ark. (16:09) All these are lies. (16:11) They're not true. (16:12) We have the truth now. (16:15) The flood was local around where the Dead Sea is now. (16:19) The Dead Sea is many hundreds of feet below sea level. (16:23) It's a very depressed area surrounded by mountains and meadows. (16:28) And that was the whole world for them. (16:30) That was their whole world. (16:36) And the flood didn't last 40 days, like they think. (16:43) His ark was simply logs tied together with primitive ropes. (16:48) He and his family and his animals, the things they needed for milk and eggs and wood and so on, were with him on that raft. (16:58) All it took was a couple of hours. (17:02) And as usual, God teaches us by practical real-life experiences. (17:07) In 1981, I was in Algeria, and they had this flash flood that wiped out a whole town. (17:19) Hundreds of people died. (17:22) And I saw it on TV. (17:24) Douglas, this is your paper. (17:25) It was an important message. (17:31) No, no, it was a good message. (17:37) I put it here for you, but you forgot it. (17:40) So this is the story of Noah and his ark set straight. (17:46) And the number of missions of astronauts and people going to Mount Ararat in Turkey, so many thousands of feet up, looking for Noah's ark, and you feel sorry for them. (18:02) It's a lot of money for tourism. (18:07) And you look on their programs, they bring a piece of rock or something, saying this is a piece from Noah's ark. (18:15) I mean, there is no reason whatsoever that says this is a piece of Noah's ark. (18:21) They haven't brought any convincing evidence whatsoever. (18:24) I just don't see what... (18:25) I guess they get grants from the government and Rockefeller Foundation and so on. (18:31) If they say this thing... (18:46) No, I'm not aware of that. (19:00) You know, there were rainbows before Noah, even before Adam. (19:05) Any time there's rain and sunlight, you have a rainbow. (19:08) It has nothing to do with that. (19:16) Right. (19:17) Not mountains. (19:17) I didn't say mountains. (19:20) Judea. (19:22) The Quran is telling you exactly where Noah's ark rested, in Judea. (19:25) You hear about Samaria and Judea? (19:28) The West Bank? (19:30) Right there, where Israel is. (19:33) But the Quran is telling you exactly where Noah's ark is. (19:35) And this is proven by mathematical code. (19:38) We know it is true. (19:47) Why? (19:48) And they're looking for it in Turkey. (19:50) Yes. (19:51) I don't know how long it took him to realize that it's here, everything is here. (19:56) It would save him a lot of trouble. (20:05) Are there any questions on these first nine verses? (20:09) About Noah and his ark. (20:17) Noah was very, very early in the human history. (20:22) I would say maybe 10,000, 12,000 years ago. (20:25) The whole human population was in Palestine. (20:29) What is Palestine now? (20:30) Israel. (20:31) Israel. (20:32) That was the whole human population. (20:33) So you can imagine how close they were to Adam. (20:42) In the sequence of messengers and prophets in the Quran, he's the first one after Adam. (20:46) Noah was right after Adam. (21:09) Yeah, because there are too many. (21:10) They're not relevant. (21:11) The Quran says there are messengers I told you about and messengers I didn't tell you about. (21:16) They're not relevant. (21:22) The Quran mentions only the relevant messengers. Speaker 2 (21:24) Like 8,000 years ago. Speaker 1 (21:43) Noah was about 4,000 years ago. (21:46) Maybe less than that. (21:49) So it's relatively recent. (21:52) Abraham. (21:59) If you want to really see that history, maybe I should copy that. (22:03) If any of you go there, make a copy of it. (22:06) Not a copy, because you cannot. (22:07) At the synagogue or country club, they have a history of the earth. (22:16) These events are on the history. (22:18) So if you can go there, make a note of it. (22:20) Take a piece of paper, pencil, and draw. (22:22) You have the years and everything. (22:24) When Noah is and when Abraham is and Moses and all that. (22:29) So I may make a special trip and write that down. (22:33) But it's a beautiful thing. (22:35) It's illustrated in color. (22:37) It's a very nice presentation. Speaker 2 (22:39) Do they come inside and stuff? (22:43) Yeah. Speaker 1 (22:45) It's pretty accurate. (22:49) It's right in the entrance. (22:51) So I'm sure they will not mind you going there. (22:54) Just follow the Quranic routes and go and say hello. (22:57) Tell them what you're there for and the location. (23:01) They'll be glad to show it to you. (23:06) Any other questions? (23:08) Ahmed Rayan, you must ask a question. (23:11) You scratched your face. (23:16) Yes. (23:22) Where have you been, Ahmed? (23:26) I haven't seen you in weeks. (23:29) I mean, Ahmed. (23:31) Ahmed has been here. (23:33) See? (23:34) We already forgot your name. (23:38) I was not here. Speaker 2 (23:39) That doesn't count. (23:42) Go ahead. Speaker 1 (23:49) Islam. Speaker 2 (23:50) Islam. Speaker 1 (23:52) Abraham is the founder of Islam. (23:58) No, no, no. (23:59) The concept of submission, total submission to God, was Abraham's inspiration from God. (24:06) But he's the one who coined the phrase. (24:21) He made a covenant with God. (24:26) The first covenant on earth. (24:30) And that is mentioned in chapter 2. (24:33) Abraham's covenant. (24:34) We have a lousy index at the end of this book. (24:38) Because we did it in half an hour. (24:40) But you may look at Abraham there and see the first mentioning of Abraham. (24:44) And you will find the covenant there. (24:47) It is mentioned. (24:51) Any other questions? (24:52) Okay, number 11. (24:55) Whereupon we opened the gates of the sky, pouring water. (24:58) By the way, the Arabic literature here of 11 and 12 are just super extraordinary beautiful. (25:06) I mean, we could not put it in English. (25:11) So I don't know if this really reflects the Arabic. (25:17) We opened the gates of the sky, pouring water. (25:20) Springs just out from the earth. (25:24) The waters met according to predetermined judgment. (25:27) This is pretty lousy English. (25:29) But the Arabic is fantastic. (25:31) I just don't know how to describe it to you. (25:35) It is untranslatable. (25:37) But it is the highest standard of Arabic literature. (25:43) 13. (25:45) We carried him on a craft of wood and ropes. (25:49) Make it ropes instead of nails. (25:52) They didn't have nails then. (25:54) They didn't invent nails until David. (25:57) If you remember. (26:01) Number 14. (26:02) It ran under our watchful eyes as a reward for the rejected messenger. (26:08) We set it up as a lesson. (26:10) Is there anyone who wishes to learn? (26:14) Number 16. (26:15) How terrible was my retribution and warnings. (26:18) Number 17. (26:20) We have made the Quran easy to remember. (26:22) Is there anyone who wishes to learn? (26:27) And this phrase will be repeated a few times in this surah. (26:33) Number 18. (26:34) Number 19. (26:34) We moved to some other people who disbelieved. (26:36) And in the end were destroyed because they incurred that. (26:40) They bring it on themselves. (26:42) 18. (26:43) I had disbelieved. (26:44) How terrible was my retribution and warnings. (26:48) We sent upon them violent wind on a day of continuous misery. (26:54) It tossed the people as if they were decaying palm trees. (27:00) Over there they don't have tumbling wheat. (27:01) Tumble wheat? (27:02) Is that the name? (27:03) They have tumble decaying palm trees, palm trunks. (27:11) 21. (27:12) How terrible was my retribution and warnings. (27:15) 22. (27:16) We have made the Quran easy to remember. (27:18) Is there anyone who wishes to learn? (27:20) So what do we learn from this? (27:23) We learn from this that when the human being persists in ignoring God's warnings and teachings, which are for our benefit, God doesn't need them at all. (27:33) God doesn't need us. (27:34) God doesn't need anybody. (27:35) When we ignore those, we incur retribution, inevitably. (27:47) There is no such thing in God's kingdom. (27:49) If you follow God's commandments, you're guaranteed perfect health, perfect wealth, perfect peace of mind. (27:55) You're guaranteed no misery whatsoever. (28:01) This is repeated throughout the Quran and supported by the mathematical code. (28:07) But it takes a believer to believe that. (28:09) So when these people continue to ignore God's warnings, they incur the retribution in the end. (28:22) There's a mechanism for it. (28:27) We have made the Quran easy to remember. (28:32) Is there anyone who wishes to learn? (28:34) The fortunate ones will learn from the Quran and will have perfect happiness here and forever. (28:44) And all this is backed by real life experiences. (28:55) 23. (28:57) Thamud, another group of disbelievers, rejected the warnings. (29:03) They said, shall we follow a man like us? (29:05) We will then be wrong and stupid. (29:10) 25. (29:11) Was he chosen out of all of us to receive the message? (29:16) He is a flagrant liar. (29:18) 26. (29:19) They will find out tomorrow who the flagrant liar is. (29:23) 27. (29:24) We sent the camel as a test for them. (29:27) Just watch them and be patient. (29:30) 28. (29:31) Tell them. (29:32) This was directed to their messenger, Salih. (29:36) 28. (29:36) Tell them that the water shall be shared between them at a specific time. (29:42) 29. (29:43) They consulted their leader. (29:45) And after receiving the message, he slaughtered the camel. (29:49) How terrible was my retribution and warnings. (29:53) 31. (29:53) We sent upon them one stripe, whereupon they became like harvested hay. (29:59) We have made the Quran easy to remember. (30:01) Is there anyone who wishes to learn? (30:04) As you know, God's signs suited every age. (30:10) In that age, a camel that knew when to eat and when to drink and what day was a miracle for those people. (30:17) They were dealing with camels a lot. (30:20) At the time of Moses, magic was a big deal. (30:23) At the time of Jesus, healing the sick was a big deal. (31:22) Let's look at 41, okay? (31:24) Let's resume. (31:26) We'll take another break. (31:27) 41 says Pharaoh's people received the warnings. (31:31) They rejected all our signs. (31:33) And consequently, we punished them as an almighty omnipotent can punish. (31:40) Because we read in other parts of the Quran about the plagues that the Egyptians suffered. (31:45) And they still didn't learn. (31:47) Every plague that came, they said to Moses, if you relieve this one, we'll believe. (31:51) And as soon as it was relieved, they reverted. (31:57) 43. (32:00) Are your disbelievers any better than those? (32:03) Did you receive a pardon in the scriptures? (32:06) So God is saying, are the disbelievers of today anything special? (32:10) Why should they get away with it? (32:12) Still the kids don't understand. (32:20) 43 is very important because it says that the same fate that those disbelievers suffered. (32:28) Remember, we have 1400 years without any messengers. (32:34) So this is a crucial time. (32:41) There's a rule in Quran that says we do not send retribution unless we send a messenger. (32:48) Surah 17. (32:53) So all the signs are here for a terrible, terrible retribution coming to the Muslim world. (33:06) 44. (33:08) Do they say we are victorious? (33:11) Indeed, they will be defeated. (33:13) They will flee. (33:15) The hour awaits them. (33:17) The hour will be far worse and more devastating. (33:21) The guilty ones are in total loss and stupidity. (33:25) Number 47. (33:27) 48. (33:28) The day will come when they are dragged into the hellfire forcibly. (33:32) They have deserved the agony of retribution. (33:35) They have incurred the agony of retribution. (33:38) We have created everything in exact measure. (33:44) Now let me go back to this 49 and stop there for a while. (33:48) God says we have created everything in exact measure. (33:50) And this includes the letters of the Quran. (33:58) Because the key word here is everything. (34:03) Everything was calculated. (34:05) Everything is mathematically composed, including you and me, your body. (34:10) 209 bones, 19 times 11. (34:14) The full-term fetus, 266 days in the womb, 19 times 14. (34:21) The sun, the moon, the earth lining up in the same position every 19 years. (34:25) All these are established scientific facts with the same common denominator. (34:33) We have created everything in exact measure. (34:37) I hope I can find a better translation for this verse. (34:41) Those who speak Arabic. (34:42) Inna kulla shay'in khalaqnahu biqadr. (34:45) Everything according to exact calculations. (34:53) We know now that the letters of the Quran, every single letter is mathematically composed. (35:02) Every single letter. (35:03) And we have a few illustrations in the Quran with some profound, unique spellings. (35:10) Like mecca, see this is profound. (35:12) A special word. (35:14) When it is written with becca, you know why? (35:17) It is becca with a B instead of M. (35:25) So the key word here is everything. (35:28) So your fingers are measured. (35:31) So the middle finger is longer than the rest of them. (35:34) Because when you fold your fingers, they become the same line. (35:38) It is designed this way. (35:43) So you can have a good fist. (35:46) If they are even here and then you fold your fingers, it is true. (35:54) You have a hole in there. (35:55) You cannot hold anything. (35:58) M&M's will fall through. (36:01) They will melt in your hand. (36:07) If your fingers were even at the top and you fold them, you cannot hold anything. (36:11) It will be like this. (36:15) We will have to redesign. (36:17) We will have to redesign M&M. (36:23) How about if you have just four fingers and no thumb? (36:26) There are many things you cannot hold. (36:27) See how you hold the radio here? (36:28) You take it for granted, right? (36:31) If you have only the four fingers, it is going to be kind of difficult to see. (36:36) Hey, wait a minute. (36:37) You have to hold it like that. (36:47) Everything was created by exact measure. (36:55) I don't know. (37:02) Let's look at 50. (37:07) Whatever we will is done within the blink of an eye. (37:12) That is why when God tells you that if you follow his commandments, you are going to have a perfect life, you know that you are going to have a perfect life. (37:25) If you happen to contract cancer or AIDS or anything, God, in the blink of an eye, can go and remove it. (37:35) Some of the angels are the best surgeons in the world. (37:39) Without surgery, without anesthetics, I'm speaking from life experiences, Martha. (37:48) Don't wonder about that. (37:58) Really? Speaker 2 (38:00) All right, all right. Speaker 1 (38:02) I misread your eyes. (38:08) 51. (38:10) We have destroyed your counterparts. (38:12) This is to the disbelievers. (38:15) Is there anyone who wishes to learn? (38:18) 52. (38:19) Everything they did is recorded in the scriptures. (38:24) Everything, small or large, is written down. (38:28) The righteous have deserved gardens and streams. (38:32) They occupy an honorable position as the omnipotent king. (38:38) You see, the surah had to end with good news. (38:42) People who think that the Quran is full of hell, fire, and brimstones should know that the Quran equally mentions the hell and heaven. (38:51) They happen to see the place where they're going, that's why. (38:58) You don't see anything else. (39:04) Are there any questions? (39:13) What about amino acids? (39:28) There is something important in our bodies, every creature. (39:32) It's called messenger RNA. (39:35) Messenger RNA, its function is to go pick out an amino acid and link it with another one to create protein. (39:45) The messenger amino acid has a tail of 19 amino acids. (39:51) That's what they discovered recently. (39:54) It's got the stamp on it. (40:01) 19 amino acids connected with it. (40:04) So apparently, messenger RNA has a tail of 19 amino acids and it goes and links with one and carries it to the site of protein synthesis. (40:18) That's why they call it messenger RNA. (40:23) RNA does not have any amino acids in it, on all four bases. (40:39) But the messenger RNA links itself with amino acids because it carries it from one place to the site of protein. (40:48) So apparently, they found out that the messenger RNA carries 19 amino acids with it. (41:05) No, these are not 19 different amino acids. (41:16) There are 23 amino acids. Speaker 2 (41:19) But the messenger RNA may have three tryptophans and 19 amino acids. (41:56) I think there's a double bond. Speaker 1 (42:19) He's an organic chemist, so... (42:21) Okay. Speaker 2 (42:22) We have to accuse Mahmoud. Speaker 3 (42:31) It may be pronounced... Speaker 1 (42:58) Yeah, apparently they discovered that one of them, Mahmoud, has a double bond somewhere that does not conform to the amino group. (43:06) We call it a nitrogen atom. (43:12) Right. (43:12) But that's why they call it... Speaker 3 (43:29) No, no, this was an article in Science... Speaker 1 (43:48) No, 23. (44:06) In this Quran, we have enough mathematical miracles to drown the whole world. (44:11) You don't need to go to amino acids or anything else. Speaker 3 (45:39) Right. Speaker 1 (45:43) You don't have enough sound bases. (45:46) But here, there's no question about the mathematical code. (45:48) One plus one is two, you know. (47:42) Well, I tell you, this is the closest country to God, no matter how you look at it. (47:46) This reminds me of the argument in the Yemen parliament. (47:50) Yemen is in such bad shape. (47:52) It's the only country that if Noah was resurrected today, Noah would recognize it. (47:56) Because it didn't change. (47:58) They had an argument in the parliament. (48:00) What do we do to solve our economic crises and problems and so on? (48:05) And finally, one intelligent senator from Yemen came up with a great idea. (48:10) He said, let's declare war on the United States. (48:14) And he convinced them, because if they declare war on the United States, the United States will go and invade them and take all kinds of care packages and will help them a lot, like this is doing with Vietnam now. (48:25) This is the most kind and benign country in the world. (48:29) The Marshall Plan speaks for... (48:31) And Europe was fantastic. (48:33) Europe was dead after the war. (48:37) You cannot blame the United States for Khomeini or Mubarak, idiotic tyrants. (49:04) I don't like to talk about politics, but you either have the CIA or the KGB. (49:09) So the choice is a country that gives you a lot of money, invades you to give you a lot of money and help you a lot and give you education and the freedom to worship God, or a country that's oppressive and gives you communism and atheism and lack of freedom. (49:28) So the CIA has to... (49:31) If they don't do it, the KGB will do it. (50:10) No, no, it's true. Speaker 2 (50:11) You know what the basis of gang wars is? Speaker 1 (50:27) Drugs, drugs. (50:30) They're breaking the law. (50:49) That's freedom. (50:51) God wants the people to be free to obey him or disobey him, follow the commandments or break them, worship him or not, believe in him or disbelieve in him, drink or not. (51:03) If you go in a country that says nobody can drink alcohol, now are the people abstaining from alcohol because they're following God's commandments or the law of the land? (51:14) God wants the people to be free to drink if they want, take drugs if they want to. (51:23) Who? Speaker 2 (51:49) This is stupid. Speaker 1 (51:50) The law has nothing to do with the people. (51:52) The people will have abortions or not anyway. (51:53) It depends on the individual. Speaker 2 (51:55) The individual will make a decision to abort or not. Speaker 1 (52:01) The Quran is in favor of absolute freedom, no interference from the government whatsoever. (52:08) It's extreme libertarianism. (52:14) Maximum freedom for the human being. (52:17) Otherwise you cannot hold the human being responsible. (52:28) Francisco, that's the least of their problems. Speaker 2 (52:59) Okay. Speaker 1 (53:06) We have to quit before we're invaded by the children. (53:12) They're coming. (53:17) Children are coming. (53:19) Gatut is not feeling good. (53:21) Gatut has some kind of illness or something. (53:26) He's not feeling good, so let us turn to God and God spoils us. (53:30) God always answers our prayers. (53:32) We're going to turn to God. (53:36) The brother who came at Juma today.
