I Thought I Was Doomed, The Arabs, False Shahada, My Background

(0:00) But that night, in April, I opened Quran, as usual, and there is the place where usually we look up, right? (0:13) And it said, you are going to hell. So I closed it again, and I said, this is satan telling me, (0:22) trying to frighten me, or giving me a bad time. So I said, audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim, (0:28) and please God, protect me from satan, I seek refuge in you, and I said it in many different ways. (0:36) And then I opened it again, at random, as usual, and it said, you are fired, you will not do the job, (0:42) you are a chicken, you are not suitable, and you are going to hell. (0:48) So I sought refuge in God, again from satan, from the devil, in stronger terms, for a longer time, (0:55) and it is true. Then I opened the Quran again at random, and it said, you are fired, you are going to hell, (1:00) you are doomed, you are not going to do it, you will find somebody else to do this job. (1:05) So I closed it again, it is now defying statistics, or coincidence. (1:12) So I turned to God very hard, and I said, please God, let me know if this is coincidence, or why is it giving me these bad ideas. (1:22) So I opened, and I kept doing this, and repeatedly, every time I opened it, it said, you are fired, (1:29) you will not do it, you are going to hell, you are doomed. And it was getting worse. (1:35) And until I reached the conviction, a real conviction in my heart, that I am doomed, I am going to hell. (1:41) Then I started to cry, and I started to repent. (1:49) And I opened it, and as if the Quran had nothing in it except, you are fired, you are going to hell, (1:56) you are not going to do the work, you will substitute somebody in your place. (1:59) So I said, this Quran is rigged, maybe it is because I am using it a lot. (2:04) So I got this one, which is brand new, and I opened it, it said, you are fired, you are going to hell, (2:10) you cannot do the job, you are a chicken, you will substitute somebody in your place. (2:15) So I closed it again, and I opened another place, the Quran had nothing in it, except I got a Danish Quran, (2:23) I opened it, I looked at the original spot, it said, you are fired, you are going to hell, you are going to hell. (2:30) So it is no longer a coincidence. (2:33) I got this book, this big Quran here, and I opened it this way. (2:39) I mean, I did all kinds of crazy things to let the Quran open its handle, and go like this. (2:45) And then I opened the Quran and looked in it, and it said, you are going to hell, you are doomed, (2:52) you cannot do the job, you are fired. (2:55) So with this setup, I got a letter opener, and I stacked the Qurans like this, and I closed my eyes (3:05) and opened the letter opener, and then it says in one of these pages, I opened it, and it tells me the same thing. (3:13) There was nothing in the Quran that morning except, you are fired, you cannot do the job, (3:17) get out of here, you are doomed, I don't need you anymore, I substitute somebody else in your place. (3:28) So, I cried, and I made sujood, and I repented, I sought refuge from satan, and it kept giving me the same message. (3:37) So I became convinced of God speaking to me through my Quran. (3:41) And I became convinced that I am no good, that I am fired, that I am going to hell. (3:47) And I cried as hard as I ever did in my life. (3:50) I really became convinced that I am finished, and I am doomed, and there is no salvation in sight. (3:59) My sujood became longer, my crying was harder, there was nobody in the mosque. (4:06) And then one time I opened the Quran, and it said, we forgive you. (4:12) I reached the conviction, with all this crying, that... (4:16) Now, the message is very clear, that I am not coming out with an announcement, that I am God's messenger. (4:29) I have known it since 1980. (4:35) And I ignored messages that say, the person comes and says, (4:38) O people, I am God's messenger to all of you. (4:42) And I ignored those, they were very loud and very clear, and I ignored them. (4:46) Obviously, the timing was not right then and now, in retrospect, I was supposed to have ignored those messages. (4:55) They got louder and repeated, and louder and clearer, and I kept ignoring them, until this happened. (5:01) So there is something that led to this. (5:04) When I opened the Quran, it says, O people, I am God's messenger to all of you. (5:11) And I became convinced that this is no longer the case. (5:15) Then, with these repetitions, I reached a decision in my repentance. (5:23) I said, please God, accept my repentance, take me back. (5:26) Even if I lose my own children, my friends, if I lose everybody, I will do anything. (5:34) I will go out and I will make the announcement. (5:37) And I really had that conviction, because I said, chances are my children will tell me, (5:42) get out of here, you crazy man, what are you talking about? (5:48) So, it became my neck. (5:51) And that verse in Quran, where it says the person disowns his own parents, his own children, (5:55) the great children disown their parents, and so on, became a reality for me. (6:00) Here I am, doomed, going to hell, and the whole thing is hinging on courage. (6:07) God doesn't want a coward to work for Him. (6:13) It became very obvious. (6:15) So when I reached that conviction that I will do it at any expense, I got this message that (6:22) said, you are forgiven, accept your repentance. (6:26) And my crying of sadness became crying of joy. (6:31) And I still didn't believe that remark, maybe it is a joke. (6:35) So I did the same thing. (6:36) And there was nothing in the Quran except to accept your repentance, you are forgiven, (6:42) go now and do the same, God is forgiving, merciful. (6:47) And it is in the same way, I mean, this defines all statistics and all coincidences. (6:56) The background to this, at least I am not, people who are around me know that I am not (7:05) making any bones about it, I am not being humble about it, and I cannot take any chances. (7:11) And I believe if it happens again, I will be really fired, and I will be sent to hell. (7:17) And I am not going to do it. (7:19) So that is why I have been bold, and it really has nothing to do with humbleness or modesty. (7:27) If we understand a few basic things in the Quran. (7:30) One thing is that a messenger is no big deal, that it is a big deal only if we idolize the (7:37) messengers, we build a picture in our mind. (7:42) And this is the typical response with all the believers. (7:46) The people who were averse from the beginning, they just continue to be averse, or maybe (7:52) a little bit worse. (7:55) Except their harsh attacks have a little bit of reverence in them, as if in the background (8:04) they say, what if he is? (8:07) I get these telephone calls on the machine, and in the past they used to call me a bad (8:13) name, but now they say, they read Quran, and they read the verses that say, fear God, and (8:24) then they add from them, come back to Islam, this kind of thing. (8:27) But you can sense a kind of respect and reverence in the back of your mind. (8:32) This is the difference that happens with the opponents. (8:36) And it is because of their reverence for Rasulallah, for this world, they made it so big, and put (8:43) it next to God. (8:45) And that is why it is a big deal for them. (8:47) But if we understand the Quran, we will find out that it is not a big deal. (8:52) Because the Quran teaches us that a messenger is not necessarily better than anyone in the (9:00) world, in his generation, or anyone around him. (9:04) We have this lesson in surah 18, where Moses, one of the big messengers of God, met someone (9:15) who is described as one of God's servants, one of our servants, God's servants. (9:20) And this one of God's servants began teaching Moses a few lessons, and Moses turned out (9:29) to be a lousy student. (9:31) So this is teaching us that the messengers, the biggest ones, are not any better than (9:37) anyone around them. (9:38) I mean, not necessarily better than the people around them. (9:42) The Quran teaches that, say I am a human being like you, and this is told to the Prophet (9:50) Muhammad, for example. (9:52) The Quran teaches that the criterion for closeness to God is righteousness. (9:57) Not being a messenger, or not being the most knowledgeable, or the richest, or the tallest, (10:05) or anything else. (10:07) Righteousness, nothing else. (10:09) So anyone can be more righteous than the messenger or anybody else. (10:16) There is also a verse in surah 39 that says that being a messenger of God does not even (10:21) guarantee heaven. (10:22) It is not guaranteed. (10:25) It says, I am quoting the Quran now, it says, it has been revealed to you and to those before (10:30) you, that if you ever fall in idol worship, in idolatry, all your work will be nullified, (10:39) and you will be a loser. (10:43) So if people understand this, they won't make a big deal out of being a messenger of God. (10:50) I called the Atif and I told him about this, and logically he started to discuss the wisdom (10:58) of making an announcement like this, and why is it necessary. (11:03) And I found myself, him and I, talking as if I sat down and decided to make an announcement. (11:11) Then it bothered me, it was not really my decision, it was not my decision at all. (11:15) Obviously God wants this announcement to be made, for reasons that only God knows. (11:21) And we can speculate on. (11:24) The first verse in surah 67 says God created death and life to test us, test the people. (11:34) Because before that there was no death. (11:36) Before the human race came here, there was no death. (11:39) That's why God said He created death. (11:43) Messengers before life. (11:45) The whole purpose is a test. (11:47) And it turns out, I mean we know now, that the road to God is full of traps on the side, (11:55) for people to fall off, to drop out. (11:59) And when you hear somebody say I am a messenger of God, some people drop out. (12:05) And it's part of the sifting process. (12:08) There are so many traps along the road. (12:11) And the matter is decided really from the very beginning. (12:14) A person who has doubts, who is not a sincere believer, will fall off at one of these traps (12:22) along the road. (12:23) The firm believer will keep going no matter what happens. (12:27) Because what we are saying is, worship God alone, we are saying destroy all idols, (12:35) and we are fanatically against building idols. (12:47) This reminds me of, I don't know if it's a good taste joke, I mean there is nothing bad (12:54) about the language, but the Muhammadans insist on putting Muhammad's name next to God and (13:00) say la ilaha illallah Muhammad rasulullah. (13:02) And the Azaan is la ilaha illallah Muhammad rasulullah. (13:06) So I am tempted to ask them how they like it, if you follow your method, we say la ilaha (13:10) illallah, that's it, there is no God except the one God. (13:14) la ilaha illallah, just like the Quran says. (13:17) In verse 18 of surah 3, God says la ilaha illallah, God bears witness, (13:22) annahu la ilaha illahu, that there is no God except Him. (13:25) You know who is God? (13:27) Shahada is la ilaha illallah. (13:29) And then the verse goes on and says, when mala'ikatu, also the angels, were all al'in, (13:34) and those who possessed knowledge, this is their shahada, la ilaha illallah. (13:38) So it is very clear in the Quran that the shahada is la ilaha illallah. (13:41) They insist, because of idolatry, to add Muhammad's name, which violates a good number of commandments (13:47) in the Quran. (13:48) When you put Muhammad's name next to God, in the so-called shahada, their shahada, (13:55) they are violating a good number of commandments. (13:58) So, the temptation is, I want to tell them all that, to say la ilaha illallah, Rasulallah, (14:02) to follow your message. (14:04) Now that they built up this opposition to me, and to Muhammad, and to the point that (14:12) I am under this sentence in a good number of countries now. (14:16) Saudi Arabia is one of them, Iran is another one. (14:19) So now that they hate me so much, how would they like to say la ilaha illallah, Rasulallah, (14:24) if I give them enough proof and so on? (14:26) Maybe this will induce them to just say la ilaha illallah. (14:30) So we are saying la ilaha illallah. (14:33) We are very strongly, staunchly against building any idols. (14:41) And I don't know how can I convince them that I don't want any glory, or money, or fame. (14:50) And for 80 years I was a coward. (14:54) I mean, what does this announcement bring to me? (14:58) Except, I thought, trouble. (15:01) But it did not actually, the reaction has been positive so far. (15:06) But I would rather go and worship God alone, by myself, somewhere very quietly, and just (15:11) eke out a living out of this world than go into the eternal life. (15:15) This is what I would rather do, personally. (15:18) This is what I wanted to do for 80 years, this is why I was fired. (15:21) On that night. (15:26) So I'm sorry I forgot quite a few points that I want to tell you about. (15:33) You were going to say about the background? (15:35) The background of this is that I have known since 1980, that I am God's messenger in the (15:46) sense that, not in the general sense, in the sense that Abraham was the original messenger (15:53) of Islam, he brought all the practices. (15:57) The namaz, the fasting, the zakat, charity, the pilgrimage, and of course the first commandment, (16:05) la ilaha illallah. (16:07) And Muhammad brought the Quran, and that I am the third of a triangle, that I brought (16:15) the proof, the proof of what it is, is the religion. (16:19) The first publication, I just found out this yesterday, the first time the miracle of the (16:24) Quran was published, was in January 1973. (16:30) 1973, I was still 8 years old, and I didn't know anything except that I found this mathematical (16:38) miracle in the Quran. (16:39) And the January 73 publication in the most popular magazine in the Middle East, Akhf al-Sha'ar, (16:51) had to do with the proportion of the initials. (16:55) Akhf, for example, in the letter Q, in chapter 50, that chapter had the highest proportion (17:00) of the letter Q. (17:02) Surah Saad had the highest proportion of the letter Saad. (17:05) Surah Noon had the highest proportion of Surah Noon, Alif, Lam, Meem, and so on. (17:10) Every surah had the highest proportion of its initials, except Surah Yaseen had the (17:14) least, the exact opposite. (17:16) And that was the whole article. (17:19) And it did have the computer printouts of the whole Quran, which I had written in the (17:25) computer. (17:26) And then in 1973, in November, which is exactly my 38th birthday, was the first report on (17:34) the number 19. (17:36) That was back in 1973. (17:38) But I didn't know that I am God's messenger in that sense until 1980. (17:47) 1980 was corresponding to the year 1400, the Islamic year. (17:55) And it seems like a new era began at that time, 1400. (18:01) If you look here, in Surah 47, verse 38, 38 was very prominent. (18:13) In fact, we were looking at this magazine yesterday. (18:16) We became curious, we were looking at it in other pages. (18:23) We had reports in the magazine 38 years ago, we had a big number 38. (18:31) 47, the last verse, which is 38. (18:37) I wrote in bold letters, that if you turn away, God will substitute other people in (18:44) your place, and they will not be like you. (18:47) This is one of the verses, by the way, about substituting somebody in your place. (18:52) But anyway, I wrote this in bold, in big letters, and they put a footnote saying here, at the (18:59) end of the footnote, it said, Islam is being re-established in the English-speaking world (19:03) after being restored to its pristine purity. (19:08) So I wrote here, back in 1980, 1400, that God had forsaken the Arabs. (19:19) The Arabs meaning in the Arabian Peninsula. (19:24) There is a certain geographical area where the Arabs are, that defines where the Arabs are. (19:32) And now it's been 80 years, and we don't have a single Arab. (19:37) Of the 100 million Arabs in the world, we don't have a single Arab who could see and (19:41) appreciate the miracle of Quran, even though it is very clear. (19:45) You mean, an Arab? (19:48) An Arab, from the Arabian Peninsula. (19:52) Not from North Africa, and not from Egypt. (19:58) Sometimes the Qurans say, you are an Arab, aren't you? (20:00) I say, no thank God, I'm Egyptian. (20:03) But it's quite a phenomenon, that we don't have a single Arab. (20:09) Last Friday we had like 60 people in the mosque. (20:13) Not a single Arab. (20:16) We had the conference in San Francisco, a couple hundred people, not a single Arab, except (20:20) those who came for the lessons. (20:24) So something happened in 1980, after seven pairs of centuries. (20:32) In surah 15, verse 87, God is telling Muhammad, I'm giving you seven pairs. (20:43) Among the other meanings, I'm convinced that it means seven pairs of centuries. (20:50) Because of what I've seen, and the fact that this verse is at the end of surah entitled (20:56) Muhammad. (20:59) So the background is that I have known since 1980, and I have been evading the responsibility (21:05) of... and I say, well let's just go along and worship God, and spread the message. (21:11) And what we've been doing was... (21:15) God has been gracious to us, in that he has been showing us what the correct Islam is. (21:23) The Muhammadans throughout the world, the hundred million of them, are doing the Salat wrong. (21:29) You mention Muhammad, Ali Muhammad, Ibrahim, Ali Ibrahim, and the Salat. (21:32) We know now for sure that this is wrong. (21:35) The Quran came out of Muhammad's mouth, it says you should never mention any other name (21:43) during the Salat, besides other than the name of God. (21:46) The Salat must be devoted to God alone, no one else. (21:50) So they did the Salat wrong, they did the zakat wrong, they are doing it wrong. (21:57) And now we have it corrected. (21:59) If you look in surah 6, verse 141, it tells you, when you harvest the fruit or the crops, (22:08) give the charity, the zakat charity on that crop, on the day of harvest. (22:15) Now the zakat that is being practiced now in the Muhammadan world, is once a year, (22:23) on your savings, above a certain amount. (22:29) But the Quran says, give the zakat on the day of harvest. (22:34) Now since we are not farmers, we don't harvest fruits or crops, or anything like that, we (22:39) harvest paychecks. (22:42) So when we get the paycheck, we are supposed to take out what came to us from Ibrahim, (22:47) in very few words, 1 quarter of 1 tenth. (22:52) This comes to 2.5%. (22:55) So you take 2.5% of your net income, when you get it, the day you get it. (23:02) So I would go... (23:06) I would say it makes sense that we wait like a month, to know what our monthly income is, (23:10) we get our paycheck, or monthly income, it is a very common thing. (23:15) And at the end of the month you figure out how much was your net income. (23:19) 2.5%, and you give it to people you personally know are in need. (23:24) You know them personally, and you know that they need the assistance. (23:28) And we are given a specific order in the Quran as to who we give the money to. (23:33) You give it first to your parents, if they don't need it, you give it to relatives. (23:40) Cousins and uncles and aunts, and so on. (23:42) People you know personally, who are related to you, and they need the money, or the help. (23:49) After that, the orphans. (23:52) You find children who lost one or both parents, who for some reason divorced or abandoned, (23:58) or dead, and you give them this money. (24:01) And the fourth category is any poor person, and the last category are the travelling aliens. (24:08) People who sneaked into this country from Mexico, they have no jobs, they are hungry. (24:14) We have a specific order in the Quran. (24:16) This is the correct zakat. (24:17) So what we did was, we cleaned out the salat, we returned it to its pristine purity. (24:24) We corrected the zakat, we corrected the fasting. (24:29) Even the fasting was wrong. (24:32) What surah? (24:34) What was wrong with it? (24:38) When they sleep all day and stay up all night, and they use fasting as an excuse to be nasty. (24:45) You know that. (24:47) They call the names and they say, I am fasting. (24:52) So excuse me, I am fasting. (24:55) And the timing of the moon is always wrong. (24:58) I think they are fasting today still in Egypt, and even though tonight you can see the moon. (25:04) I don't have to go out, but the computer tells you what time the moon is born, what time (25:11) it rises, what time it sets. (25:14) And whether they are clever or not, whether they are inside or not, whether you are sighted (25:17) or blind, you can know exactly what the moon is doing. (25:22) But they follow the hadith that says you fast when you see it, and you take the fast when (25:25) you don't see it, and if you cannot see it, you complete the month of Ramadan, 30 days. (25:31) We fasted 29 days this month. (25:33) Is it 29 days all the time? (25:35) No. (25:36) Sometimes 29, sometimes 30. (25:41) The hajj was wrong, and we already wrote in the Muslim perspective to correct it. (25:46) The hajj is wrong by going to Medina. (25:50) It turns out that, as it is now done, going to Medina is the most important part of hajj. (25:55) Even though it is not part of hajj at all, it is the Quran. (25:58) Going to Medina is flagrant idol worship. (26:04) They go to the prophet's tomb, or to Fatima's tomb, and they pray and implore. (26:10) Nothing. (26:11) They are quoting the Quran, because on the Day of Judgment they say we were worshipping nothing. (26:18) So this is what we have been doing, and I was happy that way. (26:21) It is spreading the message, it has gone all over the world, literally. (26:28) This translation, and the small book, the brown book, Quran, Hadith, and Islam, and (26:34) the message of returning Islam to its pristine purity as far as all the practices are concerned, (26:40) reaches places I never heard of. (26:43) Little islands in the Indian Ocean. (26:46) There is an island called Union Island, in English, but it is in French, Union. (26:55) Ihsan lived in Mauritius, that is another country I never heard of, Mauritius. (26:58) And we have people there, in Mauritius, I can't remember the name. (27:03) Union, Union, close, are they close to Mauritius? (27:10) Must be. (27:11) I went to New Zealand, Australia, I went everywhere, and I was happy that way. (27:17) The message is being spread all over the world, exactly what needs to be done. (27:23) So why the announcement? (27:25) That was my justification. (27:28) And each one of you asked me why the announcement, why is it necessary? (27:34) So my opinion was the same as yours. (27:38) Then I was... (27:39) For me it is necessary. (27:42) Pardon? (27:42) For me it is necessary, because all the people that have been there, know that we have been (27:48) worshipping God, that's all an hour, that's a message of the world. (27:52) I said do you have anything against this message? (27:54) Right, what do they have? (27:56) Okay, but do you have anything against the message we are speaking of? (28:01) For me that's why. (28:02) Obviously God has a reason, and the point is, you don't ask God why. (28:09) We ask, he said. (28:12) God is not to be asked about anything he does, but we are to be asked about anything we do. (28:19) la yus'ala amma yifad, muhammad yus'ala amma yifad. (28:27) So obviously God has a purpose, and very good reasons. (28:33) Now, the Quran says that Muhammad is not the last messenger. (28:39) And this could be one of the very important reasons. (28:42) So if Muhammad is not the last messenger, the statement in the Quran in 3340, (28:51) it says, ma kaina muhammadan aba ahadimu rizalakum, Muhammad was not the father of any of his mates, (28:56) wa lakin rasoolallah, a messenger of God, wa khatimin nabiyyin, and the final prophet. (29:03) This expression, rasoolallah, wa lakin rasoolallah, is not necessary at all for the meaning. (29:08) If the prophet includes the messenger, the wise person. (29:12) You can have a perfect sentence saying, ma kaina muhammadan aba ahadimu rizalakum, wa lakin khatimin nabiyyin. (29:19) Muhammad was not the father of any of your men, but he was the final prophet. (29:25) But of course every letter in the Quran is deliberate, as we know now very well. (29:30) It says, wa lakin rasoolallah, a messenger of God, wa khatimin nabiyyin, and the final prophet. (29:37) So there is a verse 35 in surah 7, it says, oh children of Adam, when messengers come to you, (29:45) narrating my revelations to you, those of you who believe and lead a righteous life, (29:51) are the successful ones. (29:54) Obviously this is a verse for people after Muhammad, because it is in the Quran. (29:58) And like Dr. Mansour said, for as long as there are children of Adam on earth, this verse is valid. (30:03) Because it says, oh children of Adam. (30:09) Children of Adam. (30:11) Arabic. (30:12) Arabic. (30:20) 35 in surah 7. (30:25) So, what is this verse directed to? (30:29) Not the people before Muhammad, because they never seen the Quran. (30:34) It is for the people who read the Quran. (30:40) The Quran gives us also another example of the human tendency, or aversion, (30:47) to the idea of having a messenger of God. (30:51) It seems to be a test of ego. (30:54) A test of ego, you know. (30:55) This guy is going to sit here and say I am a messenger of God, so he is going to steal the show, (31:00) he is going to get all the attention, and it may be one of the tests for dropping out. (31:09) This is something I don't want to contribute to that, but it is not up to me. (31:15) So the Quran illustrates this by using Joseph. (31:18) It says Joseph, this is verse, I believe it is verse 34 in surah 4. (31:28) It says Joseph has come to you with clear revelations, but you doubted his message. (31:38) Then when he died, you said he was the last messenger. (31:41) Now look who God picks out. (31:44) Joseph. (31:45) Who came after Joseph? (31:46) The big ones, all the big ones. (31:49) David, Solomon, Jesus, Moses, Muhammad. (31:53) All these came after Joseph, even though the people said he is the last messenger. (31:57) Nobody else has come after that. (32:00) So they have been saying the same thing about Muhammad. (32:04) That Muhammad is the last messenger. (32:06) So, the world's population today is a thousand times what it was at the time of Muhammad. (32:18) And you have seen how much advancement the human being achieved. (32:24) This is an enlightened generation of humans, who are very advanced computers, (32:29) science, technology, and videotapes. (32:33) And it just makes sense that God wants to send a message to this generation. (32:45) And I can't make any point about it, I can't. (32:48) I'm a chicken the other way around now. (32:50) I was a chicken being afraid to announce, and now I'm a chicken to hold back. (32:57) Because I'm afraid if I'm fired again, there will be no restoration. (33:04) So, this verse about Joseph tells us it's a human tendency. (33:09) And now the question to turn the table around, the question is why are they averse to this idea? (33:15) So if Muhammad was not the last messenger, and somebody is going to come after Muhammad, (33:19) and messengers after Muhammad, what do they look like? (33:23) What are their qualifications? (33:25) What will they say? (33:30) So, if someone comes along and says, worship God alone, (33:39) uphold the word of God alone, not the word of men, (33:43) clean out all the practices of worship, destroy all idols, (33:50) remove all innovations, what's wrong with that? (33:57) I mean, it makes sense that God's messenger will do that, will say that. (34:04) Why would I oppose or object to someone who says that? (34:10) I just think it's a good discussion, I think that's a good message. (34:22) I think we'll get along just fine. (34:27) We don't know otherwise. (34:32) This is really the same message from Adam until now. (34:35) It's one and the same message. (34:39) So I would, along with you, ask that question, you know, and if I can get my perspective, (34:44) they should tell us why shouldn't I be a messenger of God. (34:50) I've given them enough proof, there's a lot of evidence in that. (34:56) And it is mathematical, it is physical, tangible. (35:02) So I want them to come up with evidence that is opposing that, that I should not be. (35:10) There's one thing that came out, the first thing that came out, I think, in some Muslim (35:16) organization in Oklahoma, and they issued a new magazine, the first issue, I think it (35:21) was just for that, it was an article in it, it said that, my name is not Rashad Khalifa. (35:30) I mean, I've heard everything now.
