What is Life About & Who is God | Answers To Crucial Questions

Transcript:

(0:17) Hi, everyone. Speaker 1 (0:18) I'm going to be teaching a class on how to use the the The biggest problem in the world today is not war, it is not disease, cancer, AIDS and so on, it is not children starving in Africa or in some other parts of the world, it is not poverty, and it is not crime. (1:26) The biggest problem in the world today is that people do not know who they are and consequently they got their priorities all mixed up. (1:38) You ask the average person who are you and they will look in the mirror and they will say this is me, and they are wrong. (1:47) When you look in the mirror you do not see yourself quote-unquote, you see your body and your body is simply a garment that you are wearing for 50 or 100 years, then you shed it. (2:05) You know it's a matter of common sense, there is a difference between a living body and the dead body. (2:14) The living body is full of vitality and spark, and when it dies the spark is gone and becomes stiff just like a piece of wood, and we know that something is gone, the person is gone. (2:28) So we can easily agree that a person consists of a body and a soul, and the soul is the real person. (2:39) And this is where the people fail to recognize who they are, if they knew that the body is not them, they will rearrange their priorities and they will pay more attention to themselves, their selves, not their bodies. (2:56) A person goes to school for many many years, works hard, takes examinations, and even after school he gets a job to make some money and so on, all this to care for the body, a vanishing entity that will become stiff, dead, someday. (3:14) And when that day comes, almost everyone will look at that lifeless body and say, for this thing I went to school, I worked hard, I took examinations, I earned a lot of money and I spent it all to care for this thing, this vanishing stiff part of me, what did I do for myself? (3:39) There is something that we must do, and this is what life is all about, we have to rearrange our priorities and this cannot result without knowing that I am a body and a soul, and I must put the body in the service of the soul. (4:03) To drive the point home, just take an average person and ask him or her what did you feed yourself today, what did you feed your soul today? (4:14) Let's start with the question what did you feed your body today? (4:18) And they will tell you I gave my body breakfast, lunch, dinner, numerous snacks, but they gave nothing to the real person, to themselves, what did they feed themselves? (4:32) We nourish the babies when we are born, we give the baby milk and so on and then the baby grows, becomes a child and we give him potatoes and meat and rice, and the body grows to five or six feet, but what did we do for the real person? (4:50) This is the major question that we're addressing right now, this is what (4:56) life is all about, people are giving attention to the vanishing entity and (5:01) totally ignoring the real person, there is such a thing as food for the soul, (5:07) nourishment for the real person, and now the new thing that I have for you is (5:15) tangible evidence that there is food and nutrition for the real person, and the (5:23) strange thing that is not known yet, is not commonly known anyway, is that just (5:29) as the body grows, the real person or the soul grows in leaps and bounds, maybe the (5:37) body goes to five or six feet, but the soul or the real person grows to immense (5:42) sizes, I don't want to confuse you right now, but the size of the soul can be as (5:48) big as the city of Tucson, I'm not exaggerating, we now have tangible (5:55) evidence that the soul can grow from a very small size, like a cat, to a huge (6:03) size, and this makes it even more important to nourish and feed the real (6:09) person. (6:11) Now what is the food for the soul? (6:14) This tangible evidence that we just obtained tells us, the evidence by the way comes from the Creator, from God Himself, and He tells us that we must make contact with God every day to cause this nutrition and nourishment of the soul, because the soul is literally a piece of God, and God says if you have anything to do with me, with God, your soul will grow. (6:44) If you remember in the Bible at the beginning God said he breathed into Adam the breath of life, so the soul is part of God's breath, and if we have anything to do with God, we grow. (6:59) However, there is a specific set of nutrition that we can offer to ourselves. (7:08) Another question that illustrates this biggest problem in the world, namely that the people do not know who they are, is that you ask the average person how old are you, and he or she will give you a number somewhere between 15 and 85 years old. (7:26) Wrong, again, any person, the real person, is a few billion years old, and this is the new information that we obtained from this new tangible evidence. (7:44) You can easily see the problem if we illustrate a little bit how the human being consists of two entities, one entity is the body, let us represent it by this dot right here, and the eternal person, and this is an infinite entity, it will never die, it just goes on forever and ever. (8:20) So here we have a body that lasts a period of time somewhere between 50 and 100 years, we know that we all exist, we are all under death sentence, and this period when you divide any number by infinity it equals zero, if you live 1,000 years you divide this by infinity and it equals zero, this is just plain mathematics. (8:49) So the body that is going to live for a zero, for all practical purposes, zero period of time, is taking all our attention, we spend 24 hours a day taking care of this insignificant entity, the vanishing entity, and the question is how much are we doing for this eternal entity, the real me, what am I doing for it? (9:18) Now that we agree that we must rearrange our priorities and give more attention to the real person, the soul, instead of wasting all our life taking care of the vanishing entity, now what specifically are we supposed to do? (9:34) You know there are so many people who (9:35) are talking in vague terms about capturing the heavenly light and (9:40) dissolving it into your whole being and all this, it doesn't mean a thing, you know (9:46) all these things, it is much more practical than that, it is much more (9:50) specific than that, and God has been sending to us the exact methodology of (9:56) developing our person, our real self, since Adam, since the first human being, it came (10:05) down to us in the Bible, in the Old Testament, in the Psalms of David, in the (10:09) Gospel of Jesus, in the Quran, and now we have specific methods of developing the (10:16) person, the soul, and exactly what to do and when, and the most efficient ways and (10:25) the least efficient ways, we now possess this valuable information, and we're told (10:31) that you must make contact with God, your Creator, five times a day, this contact (10:38) you can think of ropes coming down from the Creator and keeping us out of this (10:44) sizzling pan called the world, at the same time we develop and we nourish (10:50) our self, the real self, the soul, by making these contacts five times a day, we are (10:57) given exactly the combination, actually it's a numerical secret combination that (11:03) anyone can obtain, and through this secret mathematical combination you can (11:09) make contact with God and nourish and develop your real self, five times a day (11:14) you are given the combination, you are given the method, how to do it, when to do (11:19) it, and this is the way to provide for yourself. (11:26) Everyone takes breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and so on, and dresses nicely, and buys a nice home, and has a beautiful spouse or a handsome spouse as the case may be, and all this to take care of the vanishing entity, the body. (11:41) The big question is what are you doing for you, the real person, and you can agree with me now that this is the biggest problem in the world, not knowing who we are. (11:56) You notice I mentioned making contact with God, and I'm talking about a specific methodology, I'm not talking about prayer, prayer is fine, and it will contribute to the growth and nourishment of the person's soul, the real person. (12:13) You know, millions of children grow up, we grow up knowing that we must say grace before we eat, say a short prayer, God is good, God is great, please thank you for our food, and all that. (12:26) Millions of people pray, I mean, they utter supplications, ask God for favors, and all this is fine, God loves that, but I'm talking about a practical, a real meal for the real person. (12:43) We have this physical evidence telling us (12:46) exactly what to say, what sounds to utter, it is like the combination of a safe, you (12:56) have this combination, a knob on a safe or where there's a treasure, and you have (13:03) to turn it this way a certain number of times, and then this way to another (13:06) number, and so on, and then you open the safe and you have the treasure, it is (13:11) very similar to that, a numerical combination, a combination of (13:16) sounds that you must utter, a combination of movements that you must do, and this (13:23) is common to all religions, it came to us, like I said, in the older scriptures and (13:29) the latest scriptures, and in this new discovery of a tangible mathematically (13:37) coded method. (13:38) And if you contact me at the telephone number shown at the end of this program, I can discuss this specific method with you. (13:47) And the contact with God is not the only way to develop the soul, there are many other methods, but the daily contact with God is the most efficient, this is the steak of the soul food. (14:01) But for example, there is a method of fasting, where you dictate on the body exactly when the body is going to eat or drink, and there's even a specific time of the year for that. (14:17) So God told us exactly what to do to nourish our soul, and if this becomes known to you or to any other person, you can ask them what did you do for yourself today? (14:30) And they will not say zero or nothing, like most people would say now. (14:35) The person would answer, I gave my body breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and I gave myself five good meals by contacting my Creator five times today. (14:50) There will be a big difference, there will be the proper arrangement of priorities. (14:57) Right now the priorities are all reversed, people are spending 99% of their time caring for the vanishing entity, and totally unaware, totally neglecting the real self, the real person. (15:15) And it's a big shame because when the time comes and we shed the body, we will really regret that we didn't give the real person, the soul, the proper attention. (15:32) You know it is very well and finally established now that money, fame, beauty, and so on, do not bring happiness, there is always something missing. (15:43) Did you see the Barbara Hutton story that was shown on TV the other day? (15:48) I was listening to a special, Barbara Walters special, she was interviewing Eddie Murphy, here is a movie star who's got everything, he has two Rolls Royces, a Mercedes, a Corvette, he's got a palatial estate in New Jersey, his family, yet he told Barbara Walters there is something missing, we have to develop the real self in order to be happy. (16:13) If you have a body that has everything, money, fame, everything it wants, everything the body wants, but the soul is not nourished, happiness will be missing. (16:25) And now you can appreciate that this is the biggest problem in the world. (16:31) And I know what you're thinking, you're probably saying what is the catch? (16:37) How much do I have to pay for this? (16:40) Ironically this very precious knowledge is free, it is just used for the asking. (16:48) And like I said there is no mincing of words, there is no vague ideas, this is, I'm talking about specifics, happiness has been the most elusive goal for everybody, and now we know that material success, money, fame, and all this does not bring happiness. (17:14) Now we have a concrete, tangible method by where we know, actually the (17:20) secret of happiness, this most elusive of our goals has been unveiled, and you ask (17:30) all the philosophers and people who have a lot of experience in life and they (17:35) will tell you readily that material success does not bring happiness, money, (17:42) fame, success, all this does not bring happiness, and I mentioned to you Eddie (17:48) Murphy as an example in his interview with Barbara Walters, but now we have a (17:54) concrete method with a track record that tells us that this most elusive of our (18:01) goals, happiness, is actually attainable, and the secret is in developing and (18:07) nourishing the real person. (18:10) The people are unaware, they're going about their life totally unaware, totally neglecting the real self, and if they only develop and nourish the real person and put their priorities in perspective, happiness will be readily theirs. (18:30) I'm not talking about something over there in heaven (18:33) somewhere where you have to die first, stay in the grave millions of years, and (18:38) then get resurrected in order to be in paradise and all that, I'm talking (18:43) about happiness, victory, success, the real thing here in this world, it's just like (18:52) I mentioned earlier, like the combination, you turn that combination to the right (18:57) left and so on in the correct numbers, and you open it and you have the treasure. (19:03) Now, you do the specific procedure just like a cookbook recipe, it's just as simple as that, I'm not exaggerating, God told us exactly how to do it, what to do, and what to say, and the combination is very specific, you do it and you get the results. (19:22) As you see, it's been all common sense, and this is why you ought to believe me. (19:28) Why should you believe me by the way? (19:29) Let me ask that question, why should you believe me? (19:32) You should believe me because when you discuss this matter (19:36) with me, if we meet in person, I'll show you tangible evidence and you will see (19:41) that we have a mathematically coded message from God, you will see the (19:46) physical evidence, if you don't see it just leave, I mean, you don't have to take (19:50) it, you look at the evidence, you see it is tangible, concrete, and you see the (19:56) results, and you visualize the whole thing, I mean, it will be in front of you. (20:02) There is no imagination or speculation or conjecture, this is the real thing, and from the beginning of this program to the end, it is all common sense, isn't it? (20:17) Now who would be the most authoritative source to give you this kind of information? (20:24) The Creator, the one who created your soul, the one who breathed into Adam from his breath. (20:30) Your soul is a piece of God, and the source of all this information is God, and you will see it supported by physical evidence. (20:40) This is a new stage in human history, and you can be one of the pioneers to discover this. (20:46) The discovery, by the way, is very recent, and maybe 50 years from now everybody will know about it, but right now only a select few, the elite of the elite, knows it, and you can be one of those. (21:01) God willing it will be known in a shorter time than 50 years, but you can grasp this opportunity now, you live in this world only one life, and then we move on to a new stage, the eternal real life, where everyone is assigned a rank and a position depending on how much you nourished your real self. (21:28) Can you hire a child as a pilot or an engineer? (21:33) You can't, therefore you have to develop the real person and grow and nourish in order to be strong enough for the eternal real life that will come after this world, and then you'll be assigned a prominent rank. (21:50) And like I said, you don't have to wait for that, happiness, real happiness, and the consequences of nourishing your soul begin right here. (22:02) God's promises have to be a fact, and God says He promises those among you who believe and lead a righteous life that they will be sovereigns on earth, kings and queens on earth, and when God says that He promises, it is done. (22:19) What I told you is a very condensed summary of this major historical event. (22:28) Needless to say there (22:29) is a lot of detail that anyone can come and see me and talk about it and (22:35) discuss it, they can demand the proof, where is the physical evidence, the (22:39) concrete tangible evidence you're talking about, they can come and ask me (22:43) that and I will show it to them and then they can make the decision themselves, (22:48) they have got nothing to lose, and this is all free, I never ask them for a penny. (22:55) So they can come and see me in Tucson at 739 East 6th Street, or better yet (23:02) call and make an appointment and I will sit with them and show them the proof, (23:06) the telephone number should be shown at the end of this program, it is 791-3989 (23:16) and it could be the most important step they have made in their life, and it (23:23) results from the realization that we are not just walking zombies, we're not just (23:28) bodies walking around with nothing in them. (27:11) Alhamdulillah, we praise God. (27:19) And we bear witness that there is no God except the one God. (27:24) It is very important for any person to know who God is, to really appreciate why millions of people fall into idol worship, why do they leave God and idolize Muhammad or Jesus or Mary or Saint Francis or Saint Jude, or some helpless creature, and the main reason is that the people do not know who God is, they do not appreciate the greatness of God. (27:53) So my purpose in this sermon is to share with you some idea about the greatness of God. (28:02) And to appreciate the greatness of God we we have to think of this universe that we are living in, our planet earth is part of the solar system as you all know, and by the way I'm going to talk to you strictly about scientific facts, established scientific facts. (28:25) This earth is part of the solar system, it is the only planet in the solar system that has life. (28:33) We went to the moon and we didn't see a single tree there, or a mouse, nothing. (28:39) We sent cameras to Mars and we didn't see a creature there, unless those rocks are creatures, as we saw in one of the cartoons. (28:48) There is no life in the solar system except here on the planet earth. (28:54) Our sun, the center of this solar system, is 93 million miles away. (29:02) Now I want you to watch these distances, 93 million miles away from us, the sun. (29:10) And the light comes to us from the sun in four minutes. (29:14) So remember this relationship, the light travels from the sun to the earth 93 million miles in four minutes. (29:24) The solar system itself spans a distance of two billion to four billion miles, this is our solar system. (29:35) So when you go to the edge of our solar system, if you travel two billion, with a B, two billion miles away, how big is the planet earth from that point? (29:50) It will seem small. (29:53) Okay let us now go a little further, let us talk about the galaxy, our galaxy. (29:59) As you know it is called the Milky Way galaxy, and the solar system is one, the sun of the solar system is one of one billion suns or stars in our Milky Way galaxy. (30:18) It will take four minutes for the light to travel from the sun to the planet earth, 93 million miles. (30:25) You know how long it will take to cross the Milky Way galaxy? (30:30) If you travel at the speed of light, you will cross the Milky Way galaxy, our galaxy, in a hundred thousand years, not four minutes, or ten minutes, or one hour, or ten hours, or ten days, or ten years, it will take you a hundred thousand years to travel across the Milky Way galaxy, our galaxy. (31:00) Now so if you go to the border, the edge of the Milky Way galaxy, and try to find the planet earth, where is it? (31:07) It's minute isn't it, just a tiny mote, you know when you look at the sunlight and see these little things flying, those are called motes. (31:16) And the earth is not even that within the Milky Way galaxy. (31:23) Well let us travel, let us go on a little further, let us go to our next-door galaxy, our neighbor. (31:31) You know how far it is, our neighbor galaxy? (31:36) Two million light years away. (31:41) So if you're cooking something and you want to borrow some salt or some sugar from your neighbors, don't go to the next-door galaxy, it will take you two million years going at the speed of light, and two million years coming at the speed of light, and your cooking will be all gone. (32:03) So two million light years, from our galaxy to the next-door galaxy. (32:13) Now so if you go to the next-door galaxy and try to find the planet earth in the Milky Way, what are your chances of seeing the planet earth? (32:22) Using the strongest possible imaginable telescope, can you find the planet earth? (32:29) How about your house, or you, or any human being like Jesus or Muhammad? (32:36) Can you see them from that galaxy, our next-door galaxy? (32:43) Shall we move a little further? (32:47) There are one billion galaxies in our universe. (32:52) This is one billion with a b, a billion trillion stars in our galaxy, in our universe, excuse me, there are one billion galaxies in our universe. (33:11) A billion trillion stars in our universe. (33:16) Our universe now has distances of 10, 15, up to 26 billion light years, distances within our universe. (33:27) And you can easily imagine this now, if our next-door galaxy, and these are all, I remind you, these are all scientific established scientific facts. (33:41) 26 billion light years within our universe. (33:46) You have to agree with me that when you go to the edge of our universe it is hopeless to try to find the planet earth, it is such an insignificant speck in God's kingdom. (34:05) It is an established physical fact that when you go, if you go to the edge of our universe, you cannot possibly see the planet earth, you cannot possibly see the sun of our solar system, let alone the planet earth. (34:26) So that's our universe. (34:28) Before we leave our universe, that's the next step, I would like to remind you that, in fact I will do a calculation thing with you right now. (34:42) Let us say the number of stars in our universe is not a billion trillion, let us just take a smaller number, quintillion. (34:52) Quintillion. (34:53) That's a smaller number of stars in our universe. (34:56) And let us count from one to a quintillion, taking one second per count. (35:05) It's like, let us say we're counting the stars, one, two, three, four, one second per count. (35:13) So we take one quintillion, divide it by 60, you get the number of minutes it will take you to count from one to a quintillion. (35:23) Then you take this number and divide by 60 again, you get the number of hours it will take us to count from one to a quintillion. (35:31) Now you take this last product and divide by 24 and you get the number of days it will take you to count from one to a quintillion. (35:44) These are physical facts, as you see it's just a simple dividing by the seconds, the minutes, the hours, and the days. (35:52) Divide by seven you get the number of weeks, then you divide by four you get the number of months, you divide by twelve you get the number of years. (36:00) It will take you to count, just count, a quintillion stars. (36:05) You know how long it will take you? (36:07) How many years? (36:09) This is a mathematical, physical fact. (36:13) It will take you 32 billion, with a B, 32 billion years, just to count a quintillion stars in our universe. (36:25) And God created them. (36:29) God didn't just count them, God created them. (36:32) And we are talking only about stars in our universe, we're not talking about the planets that go with those stars. (36:40) We're not talking about the uncountable decillions of heavenly bodies and meteorites that are in our universe, we're talking only about stars. (36:53) The sun is one of the stars, our sun. (36:57) By the way it is one of the dim stars. (37:02) The bright stars, the definition of a bright star is it must be at least one million times as bright as our sun. (37:14) Look outside and see how bright the sun is. (37:18) A bright star has to be a million times as bright as this, as our sun. (37:25) We had a conference here at the University of Arizona that dealt with bright stars only. (37:32) And the sun was not one of them, because by definition a bright star is a million times as bright as our sun. (37:39) So it will take you 32 billion years just to count, not to create, just to count a quintillion of the billion trillion stars we have in our universe. (37:50) That's our universe. (37:52) Now prepare for a shock, this universe, our universe, vast as we can imagine, is only one of seven universes. (38:06) And it is the smallest and the innermost of the seven universes. (38:12) This is a fact that is in the Quran, proven by the Quran's mathematical code. (38:21) We are all now familiar with the mathematical code of the Quran that proves that every word is from God, that it is not written by a human being, that it is God's message to the world. (38:34) And these mathematically proven statements say that our universe, with its billion trillion stars, a billion galaxies, 26 billion light-year distances, is the smallest and innermost of seven universes. (38:56) Can you imagine how big the second universe is? (38:58) If our universe is 26 billion light-years across, the second universe, can you imagine how big it is? (39:05) How about the third universe? (39:07) The fourth, that is around these, you can imagine seven balls inside each other. (39:12) The fifth universe, I don't think you can imagine the size of the fifth universe. (39:19) How about the sixth universe? (39:21) And the seventh? (39:23) I can tell you right now there is no number in the world that can describe or measure the circumference of the seventh universe, actually the first universe. (39:33) We are the seventh universe, the innermost of the seven universes. (39:37) There is no number that will describe the circumference of the first universe. (39:44) Now prepare for another shock. (39:47) Most of you are familiar with that statement in the Quran, in surah 39, where God says he is holding the seven universes within the fist of his hand. (40:00) In Arabic, in the Quran wassamawatu matwiyyatum biyameenak. (40:06) God is not holding the seven universes like this in two hands, God is holding the seven universes in one hand. (40:13) And this is allegorical description to give us an idea about the greatness of God and who God is. (40:24) It's an allegorical idea to make us appreciate the greatness of God, and to make us appreciate and realize the blasphemy of saying that such great God has a human son, on the tiny tiny speck called the planet Earth. (40:49) I mean how can that be? (40:51) We are a fortunate generation in that with the established scientific facts we can appreciate the greatness of God. (41:02) And God tells us who he is in his message to the world, the Quran. (41:08) And with the sciences we now accomplish we appreciate that greatness. (41:13) And therefore we can appreciate the grossness, the blasphemy of saying that God had a wife or a mother or a son. (41:24) We can appreciate, we can realize how blasphemous, how terrible it is to say that God has a partner, another God with him. (41:35) How can we idolize Muhammad, the tiny human being who existed on a tiny planet called Earth, in a tiny solar system? (41:45) What was Muhammad's role in deciding the speed of rotation of the moon for example? (41:52) The moon rotates around itself and around the earth, yet we always see one side of the moon, the same side of the moon. (42:03) Because of the perfect synchronized movement of the moon around itself and around the earth, we see only one side. (42:11) And if that movement was off by one second we will see the other side of the moon. (42:17) This precision in God's creation, what was the role of Muhammad or Jesus or Mary or Saint Francis in deciding that speed of rotation of the moon? (42:30) This elaborate system, everything going in its orbit precisely. (42:36) We know exactly what time the Sun will rise in the year 2025, July 4th, 2025. (42:46) We know exactly, in Tucson Arizona for example, we know exactly when, what time would the Sun rise and from what spot. (42:55) Because the Sun follows God's laws, God's creation, and follows the exact orbit. (43:02) God is holding the seven universes in his hand. (43:07) That's who God is.
