Heavenly Community, No Mosques For God Alone, The Arabs, 9:128-129 History

(0:00) Alhamdulillah, wa ash'hadu alla ilaha illallah wahdahu la sharika lah. (0:06) We praise God and we bear witness that there is no God except the One God. (0:15) I will be just chatting with you since I did not really prepare anything. (0:21) And I want to talk about loving God. (0:27) A rhetorical question, should we love God, and why? (0:33) And to understand this, why we should love God, and how much. (0:39) The Quran describes the believers as loving God the most. (0:44) That is more than anything else. (0:47) And I will try to share with you the logical reasons why we must love God. (0:56) So if you go back in history a few billion years, we had billions of creatures of God (1:07) who were not classified. (1:10) They were not angels, or humans, or jinns. (1:15) Yet, there was God and his kingdom. (1:20) And then one of the creatures developed this last famous idea that challenged God's absolute authority. (1:30) Satan thought that he can be also a God. (1:33) He has enough power and enough qualifications, he thought, for him to serve as a God in his own right. (1:43) So he initiated this blasphemy. (1:48) Among the creatures were some who were also as egotistic and as proud, almost, as egotistic and as proud as Satan. (1:59) And they said to themselves, yeah, Satan, those creatures were almost equal, almost. (2:07) There were some stronger than others, by virtue of whatever God gave them. (2:14) But they thought that, yes, Satan has enough qualities, enough qualifications to be a God, besides God. (2:25) These creatures were also egotistic. (2:28) They had ego, they had pride. (2:34) And subconsciously they were thinking that, yes, we too, we are close to Satan, we are almost equal. (2:40) So we too can be gods, maybe. (2:43) But this was all in their heads. (2:46) So they committed the blasphemy, but not to the same extent as Satan. (2:51) They blasphemed against God, they thought mentally that they can challenge or they challenged his absolute authority. (3:01) Now God's absolute authority is not an egotistic practice on the part of God, may he be glorified. (3:11) But because it is the truth. (3:12) The truth is that only God can run a kingdom where he is the God, this is the truth. (3:21) The truth is that there is no one else who can run a kingdom. (3:31) So God decided, as we have been talking about this, to put Satan to the test. (3:40) He said, the one who initiated the blasphemy, I will make him a god and see what he can do. (3:49) Prove that he is incompetent, that he cannot do it. (3:52) Because this is the best way to find out. (3:55) If you claim to be able to fly a plane, the best thing to find out is to put you in a plane and say, here, go ahead and fly it. (4:03) And this is what God decided to do with Satan. (4:08) And all those creatures who agreed with Satan were destined to become his subjects and to witness his incompetence. (4:20) And suffer his incompetence, as a matter of fact. (4:24) But anyway, God, now at this moment, the creatures became classified. (4:30) The creatures who, without hesitation, without any question, accepted God's absolute authority, they became angels. (4:40) Or they were angels. (4:44) Satan, who challenged God's absolute authority, became a djinn. (4:48) Became a fallen angel. (4:52) He received a judgment, a sentence, of being confined to the innermost universe, this comes later of course. (5:00) And to be put to the test. (5:03) And then his descendants, Satan's descendants, are the djinns. (5:09) And the creatures who mentally agreed with Satan, are you and me, became humans. (5:14) These became the human beings. (5:19) Now, the angels, as you know from the Quran, from surah number 2, when God said, I am going to put Satan to the test, (5:27) I am going to send these creatures, give them a second chance. (5:32) God is giving us a second chance to denounce the blasphemy of challenging his absolute authority. (5:39) And to come now in these circumstances where we started clean, we are born into this world, forgetting everything else, starting all over again. (5:49) And now we can denounce any shirk, any idea of having another god besides God, and believe in the absolute authority of God alone. (6:04) If we can do this, then we go back to the kingdom of God. (6:09) So God willed that we get another chance. (6:14) What did the angels say? (6:17) He said, send them all to hell. (6:19) So the angels said. (6:21) He said, are you going to put on earth those who are going to corrupt it and shed blood? (6:26) Remember that from surah number 2? (6:29) So in effect, what are they saying? (6:32) God said, I am going to give these creatures a chance to come back to me. (6:36) The angels said, send them all to hell. (6:43) Should we love God or not? (6:46) If it were up to the angels, who believed in God's absolute authority, we would be now in hell. (6:56) There would be no test, no seven universes, no planet earth, it would be just hell. (7:02) We would be dismissed from God's kingdom, and you and I would be now in hell. (7:06) But God, who described himself as the Rahman al Rahim, the most gracious, most merciful, (7:13) said, I am giving them another chance to come to me. (7:18) Do you think we should love God? (7:21) Should we not love God for that? (7:24) This is why we should love God. (7:27) I just found some basis for this. (7:31) We find this dispute in the high society in surah 38 verse 69. (7:41) And I also found traces of it, or maybe not even traces, maybe the same thing, in the bible, in the previous scriptures. (7:56) Romans 3, 23, which is the month of 19, chapter 3, verse 23. (8:03) As you know, I guess I didn't write the verse here. (8:15) It talks about, oh yeah, I didn't write it here, but now I remember. (8:23) It says we have all sinned. (8:28) It talks about the fact that we have all sinned. (8:33) We have all challenged God's absolute authority. (8:38) We have committed a crime, this is why you are here. (8:43) A terrible, terrible crime, for which the angels thought that we should go to hell right away. (8:52) You probably have seen this in Romans 6, 23, where it says the wages of sin is death. (8:58) Very famous statement, the wages of sin is death. (9:02) Because what happened as a consequence of this rebellion, Satan's rebellion, and yours and mine, (9:14) the system that God designed called for putting all those creatures to death. (9:20) You and I were dead before we came here. (9:23) And God created death as a consequence of that blasphemy. (9:30) So the wages of sin is death, it comes from that origin. (9:35) And then in Hebrews 1, 3, they talk about purging our sins. (9:42) Purging our sins means denouncing our idolatry. (9:48) Idolatry being the idea that there may be a God besides God. (9:53) So that we could become sons, quote unquote, of God. (9:59) Which means going back to the kingdom of God. (10:04) Tubu ila Allah, repent, let's try to get back. (10:20) Alhamdulillah, we praise God. (10:22) Wa ash-hadu an la ilaha illa Allah, wa ahdahu la sharika lah. (10:25) We bear witness there is no God except He. (10:32) We committed that blasphemy, and to put it bluntly, (10:39) the angel said, send them all to hell. (10:42) And God said, I know what you don't know. (10:49) God said, I'm going to give them another chance. (10:54) But when we look around us, we see how bad we are. (10:59) How bad the human race is. (11:02) They are so bad, it's not even funny. (11:05) They are so bad. (11:09) There is not a single mosque in the world, other than this mosque, (11:15) and a few associated with it, where God is commemorated alone. (11:23) Where God is the absolute God. (11:26) Every single mosque in the world is violating the commandment in 72-18 (11:32) that says the mosque belongs to God, do not call it any other name but His name. (11:39) And try to ask them to say la ilaha illa Allah, there is no God except God. (11:44) We have a mosque right here, just try it. (11:47) Just go there and tell them, it's not even three miles from here. (11:53) Tell them la ilaha illa Allah, and they will beat you up. (11:56) They will actually get violent. (11:58) That is a typical mosque. (12:03) And they beat you up because you are in America here, because this is a civilized world. (12:06) Over there they will kill you for saying la ilaha illa Allah. (12:11) No killing. (12:13) They are so bad. (12:19) Every church in the world, the biggest ones, the cathedrals, all those beautiful buildings, (12:28) they are all blaspheming against God. (12:31) Saying Jesus is God, or the Son of God, or the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. (12:36) See this is who we are. (12:41) Initially we challenged God's absolute authority. (12:47) And we are the few that God told the angels, I know what you do not know. (12:53) I was writing a footnote in the new translation on why did God allow two verses, false verses, (13:04) to be injected in the Quran for 1400 years. (13:08) Why did he permit it for 1400 years? (13:14) And it is because just a few years after the prophet's death, they reverted to idolatry. (13:23) The Muslims reverted to idolatry. (13:27) Only this time around their idol was the prophet who defeated them. (13:32) The prophet won the war, and they became Muslims. (13:36) But a few years later, they reverted to idolatry. (13:41) They did not deserve the Quran. (13:44) And they killed Ali and his family, which is the prophet's family. (13:48) They killed the prophet's family because of these two verses. (13:53) And I have the documents, you are going to see the documents in the footnote. (14:00) I did not mean to get into this subject, but since I got into it. (14:06) During the time of Osman, the khalifa formed a committee to make copies of the Quran. (14:16) Take the original Quran that the prophet taught with his own hand, (14:20) make copies from it, and send it to the new lands. (14:24) They opened new lands in Syria, Iraq, and so on. (14:29) And they wanted to send these copies there. (14:32) Now surah 9 was the last surah revealed in Medina. (14:37) The prophet had written all these surahs with the instructions as to where each one goes. (14:43) And so one of the scribes, or maybe two, suggested, since these copies are going to new lands, (14:51) let us honor our prophet and add a couple of verses praising him. (14:58) Ali was a member of that committee. (15:00) The members were Osman, who was the supervisor, he was the khalifa, he was just a token. (15:06) Ali was a member, Zayd ibn Thabit was a member, and Ubayy ibn Ka'b was a member, and maybe some others. (15:14) So when this suggestion came up, Ali was outraged, and then as a consequence of that suggestion, (15:20) Osman was killed, Ali became the khalifa. (15:23) The supporters of the two verses waged war on Ali. (15:27) Fifty years of war came after that, because of these two verses. (15:33) And they culminated in the battle of Karbala, where Husayn and the whole family of the prophet (15:38) were wiped out, except for women and children. (15:41) They killed them all. (15:44) And then the first ruler to come after this war was Marwan ibn al-Hakam. (15:49) The first thing he did was what? (15:50) He burned the Quran that Muhammad wrote with his own hand. (15:54) He was afraid war will start all over again. (15:58) So these people did not deserve the true Quran. (16:03) And for the last 1400 years, I am astounded that we came to this conclusion by God's grace (16:13) that we shall worship God alone, that we follow the Quran. (16:17) And God is giving us a present, gifts. (16:21) God is flooding us with presents, including the true Quran, (16:28) which will be printed inshallah for the first time in 1400 years. (16:32) We are going to have the true Quran, without the two false verses. (16:37) And I have now the footnote available for any of you to read the evidence or the proof, (16:42) and it is irrefutable about the two verses. (16:46) In the last few weeks, Abdullah and Mahmoud have been busy. (16:53) The pipeline has been opened through them, and Ihsan. (16:58) And the proof is coming very fast. (17:02) So to be included in that footnote, it is unbelievable. (17:08) Abdullah walked in with some more miracles this afternoon. (17:12) I thought I was printing the final footnote. (17:14) He said, it is not the final. (17:21) So those people, God permitted those two verses because they did not deserve the Quran. (17:31) They are so bad that we will understand the verses in surah 22, verses 19 to 22. (17:39) They say that these are very harsh verses. (17:45) And if you see those people, you will understand that God is very merciful to punish them just that much in hell. (17:56) These verses say that claws of fire will be tailored for them. (18:04) Something like sulfuric acid will be poured on top of their head. (18:08) The sulfuric acid of the hereafter, which is much stronger than the one we have now. (18:12) That will melt their inside out. (18:14) They will be confined in pots of iron or cells of iron. (18:20) Whenever they want to leave from the misery, they will be forced back in. (18:24) And they are very harsh verses. (18:26) But when you meet these people, you will see that God is merciful. (18:31) Because they insisted on going to that retribution. (18:36) But they really deserve a lot worse. (18:39) We met one of them, as I told you in the last khutbah in Los Angeles, (18:45) when just before me came a professor from Chicago Theological Institute, (18:50) to tell us that the Quran is a hallucination of Muhammad, an internal hallucination of Muhammad, that it is fallible. (18:57) And then I came immediately after him, presenting physical irrefutable evidence that the Quran is divine and is from God. (19:08) Then these people, some Arabs, so-called Muslims, they stood up and attacked me. (19:15) They did not attack the guy who said the Quran is an internal hallucination. (19:20) And you look at them and you know that this punishment is not enough for them, that God is very merciful. (19:26) Really, I mean if I am going to oppose somebody, and I am a Muslim, (19:32) and I hear someone say that the Quran is an internal hallucination, I will change my plan. (19:38) I will attack the guy who says the Quran is a hallucination, (19:41) and I will take this fellow on the side and beat him up or something, but on the side, not in public. (19:51) They did not do that. (19:55) On the day of judgment they will call on the guardian of hell, Malik, (19:59) and he will say, tell your lord to finish us off. (20:02) And Malik will say, sorry, you are going to last forever. (20:06) Because they insisted on it. (20:12) In surah 40 it says that these people argue with falsehood to defeat the truth. (20:18) And these people came with what is clearly falsehood. (20:24) They came with things fixed in their mind. (20:25) They say you counted the letter in this way, but they should be counted in another way. (20:30) Which is the wrong way. (20:32) However, when I presented the paper I gave them numbers, not even letters. (20:38) They can take the letters. (20:40) But they should have changed their minds then, because there is no argument against the numbers. (20:45) If you take all the numbers in the Quran and add them up, you have a multiple of 19. (20:48) This has nothing to do with letters. (20:54) But God says the reason they insisted on going to hell, and the reason they are subjected (20:59) to that terrible retribution, which is not enough for them, is because we have given (21:05) them the truth, but they hated the truth. (21:11) Atum salam.
