QURAN - ONLY SOURCE OF RELIGIOUS LAW

Shall I seek other than GOD as a source of law, when He has revealed to you this book fully detailed? Those who received the scripture recognize that it has been revealed from your Lord, truthfully. You shall not harbor any doubt. [6:114]

The word of your Lord is complete, in truth and justice. Nothing shall abrogate His words. He is the Hearer, the Omniscient. [6:115]

We place shields around their minds, to prevent them from understanding it, and deafness in their ears. And when you preach your Lord, using the Quran alone, they run away in aversion. [17:46]

Say, "Whose testimony is the greatest?" Say, "GOD's. He is the witness between me and you that this Quran has been inspired to me, to preach it to you and whomever it reaches. Indeed, you bear witness that there are other gods beside GOD." Say, "I do not testify as you do; there is only one god, and I disown your idolatry." [6:19]

We have given them a scripture that is fully detailed, with knowledge, guidance, and mercy for the people who believe. [7:52]

This Quran could not possibly be authored by other than GOD. It confirms all previous messages, and provides a fully detailed scripture. It is infallible, for it comes from the Lord of the universe. [10:37]

In their history, there is a lesson for those who possess intelligence. This is not fabricated Hadith; this (Quran) confirms all previous scriptures, provides the details of everything, and is a beacon and mercy for those who believe. [12:111]

A scripture whose verses provide the complete details, in an Arabic Quran, for people who know. [41:3]

Worshippers of God alone know, understand and apply the above verses. Worshippers of God alone reject sources outside the Quran, if they cannot find verification within the verses of the Quran. God blessed us by sending to us His messenger of the covenant (3:81) who advocated upholding God's Words in the Quran per the above verses. Whenever and whatever Dr. Rashad Khalifa spoke, advocated or wrote in his footnotes, appendices or newsletter for the message, we were referred to verses in the Quran.

Following the messenger is to follow the Quran. In accordance with 17:36, a worshipper of God alone will not accept any assertion by anyone including God's messenger if verification cannot be made through the verses of the Quran.

MESSENGERS OF SATAN

K E Emami, a self proclaimed messenger, together with self proclaimed messengers in Turkey & Germany, and their followers have built their case not on the Quran but sources derived outside the Quran.

Thus the followers of these "messengers" object to the article which lists God's criteria of authenticity of His Messengers in the Quran. The "messengers" have never responded to this article. In their objection they cannot point out how the article advocates anything which cannot be verified from the Quran.

We will, however, demonstrate that these "messengers" fail the three criteria listed by Rashad Khalifa as they fail to worship God alone. These "messengers" and their followers do not worship God alone, but rather worship God and the opinions of these "messengers" which have no basis in the Quran.

WITNESS

As for those who are given solid proof from their Lord, reported by a witness from Him, and before it, the book of Moses has set a precedent and a mercy, they will surely believe. As for those who disbelieve among the various groups, Hell is awaiting them. Do not harbor any doubt; this is the truth from your Lord, but most people disbelieve. [11:17]

The witness God sent to us was God's Messenger of the Covenant, Dr. Rashad Khalifa. Verse 22:78 clearly points that out.

You shall strive for the cause of GOD as you should strive for His cause. He has chosen you and has placed no hardship on you in practicing your religion - the religion of your father Abraham. He is the one who named you "Submitters" originally. Thus, the messenger shall serve as a witness among you, and you shall serve as witnesses among the people. Therefore, you shall observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat), and hold fast to GOD; He is your Lord, the best Lord and the best Supporter. [22:78]

Examining verse 11:17 closely,

"As for those who are given solid proof from their Lord,"

We were given the solid proof (38:1),

"reported by a witness from Him,"

Reported by Dr. Khalifa, as witness (22:78 and as God's messenger)

"and before it, the book of Moses has set a precedent and a mercy, they will surely believe."

Per 46:10 a witness from the Children of Israel reported a similar phenomenon ("before it") in the book of Moses which set a precedent.

Mr. K.E. Emami claimed to be this witness in 1996 (Universal Unity, August 1996). The solid proof (referred to in the Quran) was given to God's Messenger of the covenant, Dr Rashad Khalifa, who was also the witness per 22:78. Dr Khalifa transmitted the solid proof to us from God. There is nothing in this verse referring to any witness other than the witness who gave us the solid proof, with a precedent before it, of a witness from the Children of Israel.

A WITNESS FROM THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL

Say, "What if it is from GOD and you disbelieved in it? A witness from the Children of Israel has borne witness to a similar phenomenon, and he has believed, while you have turned arrogant. Surely, GOD does not guide the wicked people." [46:10]

Mr. Emami in his false claim to be a "witness from God," pointed to the above verse asserting Rabbi Judah the Pious was a precedent set by God of a "witness from God." However, the verse above clearly mentions a witness from the Children of Israel with no mention of the invention by Mr. Emami of a "witness from God."

SAMI ALLAH HO LIMAN HAMIDA

We know that religious law is fully detailed in the Quran, but the details of religious rituals are not enumerated in the Quran. Per the Quran we are commanded to follow what was revealed before us (2:4). The religious duties were revealed to prophet Abraham and came to us generation to generation from that time. The Quran corrects all corruption of religious duties but leaves intact the uncorrupted rituals.

Dr. Khalifa, as God messenger corrected all corrupted rituals by referring to the Quran. Everything of dispute was pointed out per the following verse.

[16:64] We have revealed this scripture to you, to point out for them what they dispute, and to provide guidance and mercy for people who believe.

Mr. Emami advocates that we should not use "Sami Allah ho Liman Hamida" in our salat, but should instead say, "Allahu Akbar." His only logical explanation is that the statement is redundant (the statement translates as, "God responds to those who call of God"). According to Mr. Emami, God already knows that God responds to those who call on Him and need not be reminded of that.

Taking Mr. Emami's logic, how about the following statements mentioned in our salat. Are any of them redundant? Does God need to be reminded of any of them? Mr. Emami has no logical or Quranic basis for the falsehood he evangelizes.

God is Great

In the name of GOD, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Praise be to GOD, Lord of the universe
Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Master of the Day of Judgment
You alone we worship; You alone we ask for help
Guide us in the right path;
the path of those whom You blessed; not of those who have deserved wrath, nor of the strayers

Praise be to God Most Great

Praise be to God Most High

What else is there except falsehood after God purified His religion by sending His messenger of the covenant.

Such is GOD, your rightful Lord. What is there after the truth, except falsehood? How could you disregard all this? [10:32]

MAY 19, 1990

May 19, 1990 was a great lesson by God for the submitters and those who worship God alone. The overwhelming majority of submitters in all communities in some form or fashion were involved in 5/19/1990. Soon after the death of Dr. Khalifa in January 1990, some submitters came up with mathematical calculations based on verses 5:19 and 10:24 and prophesied that an asteroid will hit the Middle East on May 19, 1990. They called this day the Day of Retribution.

Obviously, nothing happened on 5/19/1990.

God has spelled out five reasons as the purpose for the solid proof based on the number 19 in the Quran in verse 74:31.

(1) to disturb the disbelievers,
(2) to convince the Christians and Jews (that this is a divine scripture),
(3) to strengthen the faith of the faithful,
(4) to remove all traces of doubt from the hearts of Christians, Jews, as well as the believers, and
(5) to expose those who harbor doubt in their hearts, and the disbelievers; they will say, "What did GOD mean by this allegory?"

The great lesson from God immediately following the death of His messenger was that we should not use mathematics for any purpose other than the five given in 74:31.

Mr. Emami, who was deeply involved in the 5/19 episode, was and is heedless and oblivious of this great lesson. There are others like him who may or may not have been involved in 5/19. These individuals have used mathematics based on 19 in defiance of 74:31 to change religious rituals and declare themselves messengers (average of one per year has continued since Dr Khalifa declared his messengership).

Having failed to comprehend the great lesson of 5/19, Mr. Emami subsequently, based on the identical mathematics, and number 19 declared:

- 666 as the Quran (a number not mentioned in the Quran),
- declared himself a witness,
- changed rituals is salat,
- accepted a messenger in Turkey who fails to meet God's criteria for messengers,
- declared himself a messenger,
- prophesied two separate earthquakes on different which never took place,
- declared 1998 as the "year of proof" with links to Monica Lewinski and The New York Yankees!!
- with subsequent disagreements with the "messenger" in Turkey, the Turkish messenger is declared the "Jonah of our times" with the same mathematics.
- declared the most recent prophecy of an earthquake in San Francisco on 1/9/2004 at 4:19 local time.

We want to point out to the readers that "the awesome mathematical miracles" proclaimed by these "messengers" and their followers are exactly similar to "the awesome mathematical miracles" when May 19th was proclaimed the Day of Retribution.

After the revelation of the Quran, words of hadith led the path of religious innovation and corruption. After the delivery of the proof and authenticity of the Quran by God's messenger of the covenant, mathematics and "awesome mathematical miracles" lead the path of corruption and innovation to the purified message.

ABUSE OF QURANIC VERSES

Verses 36:13-30 give an example from the past of how people (of a small community) always rejected God's messengers. The purveyors of mathematics who produced the above falsehoods now claim that a man (M. Ahmed) in Tulsa, Arkansas is the man in 36:20 identifying "messengers" in Atlanta, Turkey and Germany, none of whom meets criteria for messengers in the Quran.

36:13 is translated as:

[Khalifa] Cite for them the example of people in a community that received the messengers.

[Yusuf Ali] Set forth to them, by way of a parable, the (story of) the Companions of the City. Behold!, there came apostles to it.

[Pickthal] Coin for them a similitude: The people of the city when those sent (from Allah) came unto them;

[Shakir] And set out to them an example of the people of the town, when the messengers came to it.

[Sher Ali] And set forth to them the parable of a people of the town, when the Messengers came to it.

["Progressive Muslims"] And cite for them the example of the people of the town, when the messengers came to it.

Dr. Khalifa used community rather than city or town by other translators. In 36:13 The Arabic word used is neither city nor town. The Arabic word used is "village" which is very limited location and much smaller than a city or a town. The word community that Rashad used is perfect. It complies with the first meaning of community in the dictionary (a group of people living in the same locality and under the same government). The locality in which such group lives will be a small rural community. This is exactly what a village is and that's what Rashad meant portraying an accurate translation. Sharing the same beliefs or interests worldwide doesn't make us geographically one community or a village as the purveyors of mathematics advocate.

In 36:20 the Arabic word "Madina" is perfectly translated as "city" (by Rashad Khalifa), which gives the impression that the man is an outsider and not from the local community or the village that received the messengers. His people are the people who he ran to warn them and invite them to believe the messengers. In the fabrication by the "three messengers" and "the man", the man in Tulsa wrote emails to submitters all over the U.S. and those that he writes e-mails to. This will contradict everything, as the Three messengers are widely separated and not in one Village or Community as described in this specific story.
