# God's Dropout System, Al-Azhar's Hypocrisy {% embed url="" %} (0:00) Alhamdulillah, wa ash'hadu an la ilaha illa Allah, wahdahu wa la sharika la quwwata illa Allah. (0:06) We praise God and we bear witness that there is only one God. (0:12) God is doing everything, and this is the conclusion that we must reach if we are to be saved. (0:23) That God is doing everything is a quality of God. (0:27) If you don't know this quality, then you don't know God. (0:33) And this is why the Quran is full of those verses, talking about people who do believe in God, (0:40) but they are going to Hell, because they do not know God as He really is. (0:46) In surah 8, verse 17, we are told that God... there was the appearance of a battle, (0:55) with a small handful of believers fighting a big huge army of disbelievers. (1:02) And the believers were busy running around, and stabbing, and throwing arrows, and shooting, (1:06) and such a thing, they are fighting. (1:08) But the verse tells us that God is the one who is fighting, God is the one who did the killing, (1:12) and throwing of the arrows. (1:16) God is doing everything. (1:18) We only do the decision to be with God or not. (1:24) And the whole design of this life is to effect a test for each one of us. (1:35) This whole life is a test, nothing else. (1:38) And we read in surah 51, verse 56, that God created this whole universe, created us just (1:44) to worship Him alone. (1:46) Anything else is just a means for provision. (1:50) The jobs, what you do to go to school, you find work, develop your talents, whatever. (1:56) It is just an outside appearance to provide for you, give you the dollars, the food, the (2:02) roof over your head, and so on. (2:04) But the main job, when you wake up in the morning, my main job today is to worship God (2:09) alone, and to observe my duties towards God. (2:14) All those duties, of course, are designed for our own benefit, to develop and grow our (2:18) soul, through the prayers, the fasting, and so on. (2:23) But the whole world is designed for a test, in that a person is required to pray before (2:30) sunrise, for example, in order for his or her soul to grow and develop. (2:38) And some person may say, oh the day is... the sun is rising too early, 4 o'clock in the (2:43) morning, you know, July and August. (2:46) They complain, well the sun rises at 4 o'clock, you know, I'm not going to get up at 3.30 (2:51) to do the morning prayer. (2:53) So God says, okay, I'm going to make it rise at 7. (2:57) And God designed the earth a little bit lopsided, so it will go up and down in front of the (3:02) sun, in this way creating the winter and the short day and the long day. (3:09) And God will say, okay, now the sun is rising at 7 o'clock, are you going to pray the morning (3:14) prayer before sunrise? (3:16) See God designed the test this way, and God nullifies the excuses of everybody, in order (3:23) to see who is going to make it to the highest heaven, and that is the person who is going (3:28) to pray before sunrise, no matter what time the sun rises. (3:33) And also to assure the place of those who are going to the lowest pit of hell, because (3:39) even when the sun rises at 7 o'clock, they will not pray the morning before sunrise. (3:45) So you can see the range of the time of sunrise, and how God did it to sift out the ranks. (3:54) The people who will pray when the sun rises at 6, and people who will pray when it rises (4:00) at 6.30, and people who do the morning prayer when it rises at quarter of 7. (4:06) So there will always be a drop out. (4:08) And there will be those who pray no matter what time the sun rises, 3 in the morning, (4:12) they will be up at 2.30, and they do the morning prayer, and go back to sleep, but (4:17) they will do it. (4:20) People will say, I am going to fast in Ramadan 16 hours a day, 16 hours long, and I am going (4:25) to eat no food, no water, for 16 hours, and it is so hot. (4:30) God says okay, I am going to cool it down for you, I am going to make it 7 hours. (4:35) And God does that. (4:36) So you can see that the fasting days range from 7 hours, 9 hours of cool day, to 16 hours (4:45) of hot days. (4:47) And you can see the test going on, and you can see the drop out. (4:53) Some people will fast even if the day is 20 hours in August, and nobody dies anyway from (4:59) that, it is good for you, it takes down your blood pressure, reduces your weight, and all that. (5:04) And nobody dies if he or she fasts for two consecutive days. (5:09) But there are people who will fast even if the day is 20 hours long. (5:18) For the last 19 years, we have been giving the Muslim world evidence that they have deviated, (5:25) that we must adhere to the Quran alone, and we have been showing them the verses in Quran. (5:33) So they said, well who is this Rashad Khalifa, he is an ignorant person, he has never been (5:40) to Azhar, and he is duping the ignorant people who do not know anything about Islam. (5:46) They wrote this, they published it, they lectured, and so on. (5:49) He is a science man, he is not a religious man. (5:54) If you hear it from a scholar, from Azhar, then you can, you know, they wrote down that (6:00) Rashad is ignorant, he does not have a religious degree, he is not from the Azhar, and he is (6:07) deceiving the ignorant people. (6:09) And God said, okay I am going to nullify, like the long day, the sunrise at 7, He said (6:13) okay I am going to produce for you the best Azhar scholar. (6:18) And he is sitting with us right now. (6:20) He is not a usual Azhar scholar, he is one in a long time that was the first of his class (6:27) in the freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior years. (6:33) He is not a common Azhar person, he did not have a connection, you know a lot of people (6:39) in the Azhar have connections with the dean or the president of the university, and they (6:42) pass, and so on. (6:45) But there are special students who get these degrees and they graduate with the first honors, (6:51) they call it. (6:53) And he is one of those, one of the unusual students. (6:56) And when he graduated the first of his class, he was hired in the university, and he taught (7:04) at the university, and he made his PhD on the same subject that we teach, we preach (7:09) here in this mosque, that the prophet will not intercede on your behalf in the day of (7:13) judgment, that the prophets are human beings who make mistakes. (7:17) And they gave him the PhD with the highest degree ever in the Azhar. (7:21) So it is not just, God said I am going to give you an Azhar man, not just an Azhar man, (7:24) I am going to give you the best. (7:27) And so he goes out and he teaches and he steals the students from all the other professors. (7:35) I mean these are facts that are recorded now in the headlines, in the front pages, that (7:39) came out in the last month as he was in prison, and our powerful fatha got him out, alhamdulillah. (7:48) But he would go and teach in the senior class, and then he would go to teach the next period (7:56) he would be in the sophomore class. (7:58) The students from the senior class would follow him to the sophomore class, and the professor (8:02) of the senior class would complain, where are my kids, where are the students? (8:06) Well they followed subhuman soul to the sophomore class. (8:09) So he raised a lot of jealousy within the university, besides the fact that he was preaching (8:16) exactly, it is identical to what we have learned here in this mosque, and what we have been (8:22) preaching. (8:23) And the enemies of Quran, the enemies of God went crazy, because God modified their execution. (8:28) He said okay, you do not like Rashad Khalifa as a chemist, here is an Azhar man, one of (8:32) your own, and one of your best. (8:36) And he is preaching the same thing, he discovered the truth. (8:41) And I do not know where God got him from Satan, because Satan monopolized all those Azhar (8:46) people, he escaped somehow, God protected him. (8:50) So he was supposed to give the khutbah today, but he refused, he said I want to see your (8:54) system first, then I will give the khutbah. (8:57) Also he has to increase his master, his mastership of the English language, which he does very (9:04) well, it really surprised me. (9:07) But we have now this newspaper saying, how did he get the PhD in this subject? (9:14) Now they want to put his committee on trial, why did they give him the PhD? (9:20) How did that happen? (9:21) And this happened to be the leaders of the sunnah institute, I mean the chairman of his (9:26) PhD committee is now the head of the sunnah institute in Cairo. (9:30) And he says, how did I do that? (9:34) They just can't figure it out, but he is a living proof of God's power. (9:40) They are saying, let's take the PhD back from him, it is unheard of, how can you take it back? (9:48) Not only are they saying, how did he get the PhD, how did he get the PhD with this high (9:53) degree, honors, the highest honors? (9:56) Because the first honors, the rank of the highest honor, and it had all these things, (10:06) and they cut it down by the way, but after cutting out whatever they wanted, they still (10:12) don't like it in the newspaper. (10:15) So this shows you the power of God, and shows how God nullifies the excuses of the people (10:24) in order to effect the test. (10:27) For those who don't like the sun rising at 4 o'clock, God will make it rise at 7, gradually. (10:36) And for those who don't like fasting for 16 hours in a day, God will make it 9 hours, (10:42) in a cool day. (10:43) Toobu ila Allah, the end. (10:57) Alhamdulillah, wa ash'hadu an la ilaha illa Allah, wa ahdahu la sharika la. (11:05) I know many of you are anxious to hear our report on our Canada trip. (11:12) One of the purposes of the khutba on Friday is to study our affairs and see what is going on. (11:21) And Dr. Mansour and myself went to Canada on the weekend, and there were a number of (11:27) miracles that happened. (11:30) First of all, somehow, I forgot that an Egyptian going to Canada needs a visa, an entry visa. (11:41) And what is worse, an Egyptian who applies for a visa, in any Canadian consulate, they (11:49) have one in Seattle, there is a mandatory five day waiting period. (11:57) Because they tell Skyron, ask him if this person is a terrorist or what. (12:03) And as far as Egypt is concerned, he is the biggest terrorist as far as Egypt is concerned. (12:09) And his being here is actually American, because he is forbidden from travel. (12:14) There were people in the prison who were there for years, for religious reasons, because (12:21) they offended the person who was interviewing them or something. (12:25) And this is something that he did the first day. (12:27) On the first day, when they were interrogating him, the officer, or the lawyer, whoever it (12:34) is, the district attorney, in the prison, interviewing him and said, am I Muslim? (12:39) I don't pray, and I don't fast, but I am going to heaven. (12:44) Ain't I? (12:44) He said, no, you are going to hell. (12:48) He did immense works. (12:50) And he is out here. (12:52) There are stories of people who offended the interrogators inside, and never made it out. (12:58) They are still there, for years, and we know them by name. (13:03) But he is out here. (13:05) We sent a few telegrams from around the world to the president's office in Egypt, and we (13:12) read al-Fatiha. (13:14) This is a very powerful place, alhamdulillah. (13:16) So for a variety of reasons, they let him out on his own recognizance, with a stipulation (13:22) that he is not to leave the country. (13:24) And now he is haunting them, because he was sending the new perspective. (13:29) And the title is Al-Azhar of Disbeliefs in Quran. (13:32) Now they called him, they called him Munkir al-Sunnah in Egypt, it was something we already (13:38) admit, the rejecter of sunnah. (13:42) And you know, prisons affect a person's psyche, somehow, and he happened to leave the prison (13:52) on a miserable day, the weather was raining, it was mud. (13:57) Cairo is not prepared, especially the area where he lives, is not prepared for rain. (14:01) And there was a lot of mud there, so you step on the mud, and then you leave your shoe in (14:06) the mud, and then you pick up your shoe, put it in front of you, put your foot in it, and (14:15) then you leave your left shoe in the mud. (14:19) So he caught himself talking aloud to himself, saying, okay Munkir al-Sunnah, I did not reject (14:25) the rejecter of sunnah, you know, be careful lest you slip down or something. (14:28) So he was out talking to himself with this title that they gave him, Munkir al-Sunnah. (14:34) Now, as of the next issue of the perspective, we are going to call the Azhar people Munkir (14:39) al-Quran, they are not the rejecters. (14:43) The rejecters of Quran. (14:46) And we are going to issue emergency issues of the perspective every other week, and we (14:51) are recommending them to them over there. (14:54) And we are proud of our title, rejecters of sunnah, and we will see how proud they are (14:58) of their title as rejecters of Quran. (15:01) Something that is supported by evidence. (15:04) For example, an editorial, the official Azhar journal wrote an editorial in January, the (15:11) last issue, attacking him. (15:15) And in that they said that the Quran needs to be detailed. (15:19) I mean, there is about ten statements, directly against Quran. (15:24) So we will just take this statement, putting it, this is what the Azhar ignoramuses say, (15:31) and this is what God says, and we will give the verses that say the Quran is fully detailed. (15:35) And we are going to do this for the rest of the year. (15:41) Okay, we went to, I just got diverted to the miracle of him leaving Cairo, leaving Egypt. (15:48) It is an absolute miracle. (15:51) As a matter of fact, an informer in his group found out that he was leaving, but without (15:58) a definite date. (16:00) And he did something that cancelled that informer's information. (16:07) But at any rate, we are glad that he is here. (16:10) So we headed for Canada, and Ismail Barakat, most of you know him, he is a very hot-tempered, (16:15) very loud, beautiful person, we love him. (16:19) And he was supposed to meet us in Seattle. (16:23) And he swears he was there at 1.30, and we were there at 1 o'clock, and we waited until (16:28) 3 o'clock. (16:30) And according to his account and our account, we existed in the same place, but we never (16:34) saw each other, we never heard each other, as loud as he is. (16:38) And he said, I even took the public address system and I called you, we didn't hear a (16:46) thing, we didn't see him, we didn't hear him, he didn't see us, and there was nothing. (16:51) Anyway, so we waited until the next day, when Raymond, now Ismail, went back to Seattle. (16:59) And I had nothing to do, so I tried to smuggle Dr. Mansour into Canada, it didn't work out. (17:06) I went to the car, I went to the border, and usually they let you pass, you know. (17:11) Because the guy at the border said, where are you from? (17:13) I said, Tucson, Arizona. (17:15) He said, can I see some IDs? (17:17) I said, uh-oh, okay, so we are going to turn around. (17:23) So meantime, Ismail went back to Canada, and Raymond Catton went with us in the morning (17:29) to the Canadian consulate, where we found out that you have to have a five-day mandatory (17:36) waiting period for an Egyptian to get a visa. (17:39) However, the vice-consul, a lady, turned out to be from Raymond Catton's old country's (17:46) village, a small village, it's called Lancashire, in England, and they spoke the same language. (17:53) This is how they knew each other. (17:54) Good morning, can I put you on the phone? (17:59) And she said, good morning, whatever you want to say. (18:02) And he said, oh, you are from Lancashire? (18:07) And she said, that's right. (18:09) He said, okay, here is the visa, free. (18:14) So, I mean, if Ismail Barakat went with us, first, we would have ended up in jail. (18:19) Because he will never go back to Vancouver without this man. (18:29) He is Dr. Mansour's best friend. (18:35) And had they mentioned that you cannot have a visa to enter Canada, I mean, Barakat would (18:40) have destroyed the consulate. (18:41) I am telling you, we would have ended up in the same guy, we just didn't see him, and (18:45) he didn't see us. (18:50) So, with all these delays, we made it to the Friday prayer in Vancouver. (18:56) And we went immediately after the Khutbah. (19:00) And they just finished the Khutbah and the prayer, so we sat with them, and they all (19:04) cancelled going back to work or anything, and we sat until 4 o'clock, from about 2 o'clock (19:10) to 4 o'clock. (19:12) And we got to talk to them, and we discussed a lot of things, we did exactly everything (19:17) we wanted to do, in the Friday prayer. (19:21) And then we had meetings on Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday night, in three (19:26) different places. (19:27) There were about 50 or 60 people, and everything was just fantastic. (19:31) The objectors of the past didn't even show up, there were no more objections. (19:36) And what I carried with them, to them, is the new profound conclusion that we all must (19:42) have, and that God is doing everything. (19:50) So, as you can tell, we will be talking about these things for the next few weeks, inshallah. (19:57) And we may discuss more details tonight. (20:00) And you will get a chance to meet Dr. Mansour, we are glad he is here. (20:08) And it is a tremendous victory, so it is time to quit, akhiru s-salah --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
