MUSLIM PERSPECTIVE Published Monthly by Masjid Tucson Rajab 1409 February 1989 Editor: Rasbad Khalifa, Pb.D. Open Challenge to the Disbelievers: GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON The last book of the Old Testament, the Book of Malachi, one of the prophets of Israel, Chapter 3, as well as the Quran, Chapter 3, predict the advent of God's Mes- senger of the Covenant. God says in Malachi 3: "I will send my messenger, the Messenger of the Covenant, and he shall prepare the way before Me." I have given you hundreds of solid Quranic proofs that I am God's Messenger of the Covenant. Can you give me one, just one, good reason why I could not be God's messenger? So far, the disbelievers have come up with reasons that reveal their utter ignorance of the Quran. Here are all the reasons they have produced since I challenged them with my initial announcement: 1. Muhammad was the last messenger of God: Not true. According to the Quran, which came to us through Muhammad, Muhammad was the last prophet, and not the last messenger. This is clearly stated in 7:35, 16:2, 33:40, and 40:15. Furthermore, the Quran warns us, through a prominent precedent, against the erroneous claim that Muhammad was the last messenger. Verse 34 of Sura 40 points out that the people after Joseph's death claimed that he was the last messenger. Yet, look who came after Joseph— Moses, David, Solomon, Zachariah, John, Jesus, and Muhammad, to name a few. 2. The words "Prophet" (Nabi) and "Messenger" (Rasool) are exactly the same: False. Why then did the Quran use two dif- ferent words to describe Muhammad: "a mes- senger of God, and the final prophet" (33:40)? Why not just use the phrase "he was the final prophet" (Khaatam Al-Nabiyyeen) to include the finality of all the messengers and all the prophets? 3. A "Prophet" has no book, while i "Mes- senger" brings a new book: Wrong again. Satan has reversed everything for you. Your ignorance of the Quran is pitiful. The definitions of "Prophet" and "Messenger" are clearly given in the Quran 3:81. According to the Almighty Creator of all the prophets and "Prophet" is one who is given a messengers, scripture, while "Messenger" is one who con- firms existing scripture; he does not bring a new book. Go read 3:81 in any translation you like. 4. Aaron is described in 19:53 as a "prophet" even though he did net bring a booki the book was given te Moses: If you read the Quran, you would not make such a statement—so revealing of your ig- norance. In Verse 37:117, God intorms us that the scripture was given "to both Moses anc Aaron," specifically "to the two of them." There is no contradiction in the Quran. A "prophet" is defined as one who brings a new book, Aaron is described as a "prophet," and we are told that he was given the Torah along with Moses. 5. Muhammad was Ged's Messenger of the Covenant: According to the Quran, 33:7, Muhammad was one of the prophets who made that famous covenant, ONE covEnaNT, to believe in and sup- port God's messenger of the Covenant.
6. Others before sou have made the same claim. and thes were liars. such as Chulam Ahmad and Bahaullah: The Quran teaches us to demand proof (2:111, 21:24, 27:64); what was their proof? Also, did they uphold the Quran alonc. and the worship of God alone? Ghulam Ahmad and his followers are steeped in Hadith, and the Bahais do not follow the Quran. 7. The Quran did net specifically say that the name of God's messenger shall be "Rashad Khalifa"!!! Not very smart; is it? Can you imagine how many Rashad Khalifas the world will have if this stupid demand was met? Since this is the age of mathematics and inmputers, the Almighty has coded the name of His messunger mathematically. See the evidence below. IRREFUTABLE QURANIC PROOF The detailed proofs are presented in Appendix Two of my new translation: QURAV: THE FIAL TESTAMENT with the ARABIC TENT, 1989. Beliesers in all corners of the globe have examined the evidence and are blessed with unshakable certainty about the identity of God's Messenger of the Covenant. They know that the time has come, and that God has now sent His Messenger of the Covenant to restore and purify the message delivered by all His prophets. As stated in Malachi 3:1-3: "The Messenger of the Corenant whom you delight in, shall come, says the Lord of hosts. But who will endure the day of his coming? And who can sland when he appears? For he is like the refiner's fire, or like fullers' snap, lle will sit refining and purifyine like the purifying of gold." Some basic Quranic proofs, sufficient for those who are permitted by God to see and hear, were presented in the August 1988 issue of M.P., and the Certificate of Proof is arailable for anyone who asks for it. What I am presenting here is a tiny sample of the vast and utterly orerwhelming evidence provided by our Almighty Creator to strengthen the believers, and to augment and confirm the stubborn arrogance of the disbelievers. As shown in the famous INDEX TO TIE WORDS OF THIE QURAW, Page 320, the root word for "Rashad" is found it the Quran 19 times: 2:186, 2:256, 4:6, 7:146, 11:78, 11:87, 11:97, 18:10, 18:17, 18:24, 18:06, 21:51, 40:29, 10.33. 49:7, 72:2, 72:10:, 72:14, and 72:21. The root word for "Khalifa," in the context which means "succeeding" in the Quran occurs also 19 times. These 19 entrics, in the order listed in the INDEx, arc 7:109, 19:59, 24:55, 6:133, 11:57, 7:129, 24:55, 7:169, 19:59, 2:30. 38:26. 0:165, 10:14, 10:73, 35:39, 7:69, 7:74, 27:02, and 57:7. Notc that the root "Khalafa" occurs in some verses more than once. God's evidence is more specific when il comes to the specific words "Rashad" and "Khalifa." "Rashad" occurs in 40:29 and 70:3S, while "Khalifa" occurs in 2:30 and 3S:26. : As explained in the last issue of M.P., the first "Khalifa" (2:30) refers to Satan, while the second "Khalifa" (38:26) refers to a human "Khalifa." Add the suras and verses where we see "Rashad" and "the human Khalifa," we get 38+26+40 + 29 + 38=171 = 19x9. The Messenger of the Covenant is mentioned in 3:81. The gematrical value of the word "Rashad" is 505. The gematrical value of the word "Khalifa" is 725. By adding these valucs to the number of verse, 81, we get 505 + 725 + 81 = 1311 = 19×69. I was most assertively told, through Gabriel, that Sura 36, Ya Seen, and more specifically Verse 36:3 [Surely, you are one of the messengers], refers to me, and I was provided with the following mathematical proof: (1) Sura 36 is No. 19 among the initialed suras. (2) The number of verses from 3:81 to Sura 36 is 3330. By adding the gematrical value of "Rashad" (50S), plus the gematrical value of "Khalifa" (725), plus the number of verses from 3:81 to Sura 36 (3330), we get SOS + 725 + 3330 = 4560 = 19x240. (3) From 3:81 lo 36:3, the number of verses between them is 3332. Now, put the gematrical value of "Rashad" (S05) next to the value of "Khalifa" (725), followed by the number of verses (3332), and you get 5057253332, which equals 19x19x14002012. (4) The number of verses inclusive of 36:3 is 3333. Add "Rashad" (50S), and you gel 3838, or 19x202.. One of the most specific verses related to God's Mcs. senger of the Covenant is 5:19: "O people of the scrip. ture, our messenger has come to you to explain things to you, after a period without messengers." Besides the fact that the verse number is "19," the name of the mes. senger is mathematically coded as "Rashad Khalifa." By adding the gematrical value of "Rashad" (505), plus the value of "Khalifa" (725), plus the number of the sura (5). plus the number of the verse (19), we get 505 + 725 + 5 + 19 = 1254 = 19×60.
ISLAMIC JUSTICE DOES NOT CUT OFF THE HAND OF THE THIEF (Muslims" have given Islamic justice such a bad name, that "Islamic Jus- tice" throughout the world has become synonymous with "Gross Injustice." THE WALL STREET JOURNAL recently pub- lished an article about the Pentagon and how it mistreats the contractors who deal with the military. The article highlighted a sub-title saying: ************************ "This is Islamic justice for the contractors," one lawyer says. Since the "Muslims" have abandoned the Quran en masse (25:30), and have been practicing a religion that has nothing to do with Islam, it is no wonder that "Islamic Justice" has become "Satanic Injustice. The "Muslims," who are in fact "Mohamedans" cut off the hand of the thief in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the Arab Emirates, and other Gulf States, and follow "The French Law" in Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and other "Muslim States. As proven below, the Quran does not advo- cate "cutting off" the thief's hand. Nor does it advocate stoning to death of the adulterers; this rule has been abrogated by God Al- mighty since the time of Jesus. Let us look at the Quranic law regarding the thief: "The thief, male or female, you shall cut their hands as a requital for their crime. This is the punish- ment decreed by God. God is Almighty; Wise."[s:38) The key word here is "cut." The only teache: of the Quran is the Almighty Author of the Quran (55:1-2). We find this same word in 12:31 in conner- tion with the women who so admired Joscph that they "cul" their hands. Obviously, those women did not "cut off" their hands when they saw Joscph. This has taught us that the thic's hand must he "marked" and not "cut off." Now, in this age of mathematics and computers. and the mathematical miracle of the Quran. the Al- mighty Author of the Quran has provided us with mathematical proof that the theif's hand is to be marked, not cut off. The Quranic law dealing with the thieger is in 5:38. When you add 5+38, you get 43. The women who cut their hands are found in verse 12:31. When you add 12+31. you get the same total 43. Do we need to say any more? God be glorified. Tear Down the Prophets Tomb The Prophets tomb in Medina is today's biggest idol. Ironically, it also represents the most profound defiance against God and the Prophet Muhammad. We know that Hadith is Satan's invention attributed to the Prophet Muhammad in order to misicad the Muslims. They think that they love Muhammad, but it is the same as the Christians' lose for Jesus. For those who believe in Hadith, here is a "Sahih" (authentic) Hadith from Bukhary's Volume 6. Page 14 (Al-Nawawy's edition): Translation: "God has cursed the Jews and Christians, berause they furned the fomhs of their prophets into mosques"!!!

They created a Sacred Mosque. out of the prophet Muhammad's tomb, besides "The Sacred Mosquc." Is this not idolatry? As shown on Page 3, this goes even against Hadith, their own false teachings attributed to the Prophet. The Quran teaches that the Propher is dead (39:30), powerless even when he was alive (72:21), lotally unaware (5:109), cannot hear anybody (16:21), even if he heard anybody, he can do nothing (35:14), and will disown and be the enemy of those who idolize him (46:5).
