CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES IN AFRICA AND ASIA ATTACK QUR’AN AND THE PROPHET MATHEMATICAL MIRACLE OF OUR’ AN STUMPS THE MISSIONARIES
THE FOLLOWING SELF EXPLANATORY LETTER IS A TYPICAL CORRESPONDENCE THAT THIS MASJID RECEIVES REGULARLY FROM AFRICAN AND ASIAN MUSLIMS. THIS ONE IS FROM PROTHER. YUSUF K. ABIODUM OF ADO—EKITT, NIGERIA:
22nd May, 85
Dear Brother Rashad:
May the blessing and glory of Allah abide by you for ever more. I am writing this epistle purposely to you to ask for your spiritual advice on these matters to be discussed below. It all happened a day before the above date when I visited a Christian sister bloodily related to me on a casual visit. Then an argument ensued between me and, other people with my sister concerning our spiritual belief. During the course of this argument references were made to both Quran and the Bible. I should have won the upper hand but for my little or no knowledge of the Holy Quran. More so, the husband of the said sister, a university graduate and self-proclaimed evangelist came in. This man is very versed in the two holy books. As a result of this, I was Just like a toddler with little or no knowledge.
During the course of this argument he called our holy Prophet Mohammed (who many books took to be the leader of leaders) the leader of the whole world; an imposter, an adulterer, a killer and agent of evil doers. These he supported from such Quranic chapters and verses which I shall quote below.
For example on the matter concerning Zeid’s wife and Mohammed, Quran 33:36-38, the man said no good leader to be emulated and to be followed could do such an ugly thing.
<EDITOR’S NOTE:
IN THIS QURANIC NARRATION, WE LEARN THAT ZEID (THE PROPHET’S ADOPTED SON) HAD DIVORCED HIS WIFE AND WAS COMPLETELY THROUGH WITH HER. IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH A LEGAL PRECEDENT THAT A MAN CAN MARRY THE DIVORCED WIFE OF HIS ADOPTED, NOT GENETIC, SON, GOD COMMANDED THE PROPHET TO MARRY ZEID’S EX-WIFE. THE PROPHET ACTUALLY REFUSED, DISOBEYED GOD, AND INCURRED GOD’S •HARSHEST CRITICISMS IN QUR’AN.
THE MISSIONARIES PURPOSELY IGNORE THE FACT THAT THE PROPHET WAS MARRIED TO HIS FIRST WIFE, KHADIJA, FOR 25 EARS. POLYGAMY WAS SUCH A PERFECTLY LAWFUL WAY OF LIFE, THAT SOLOMON WAS ARRIED TO HUNDREDS OF WOMEN.>
Secondly on the matter concerning one’s relations as far as religion is concerned, where we are told to shun and abandon our relatives not in the same line with our own religion and belief in Quran.
<EDITOR’S NOTE:
HERE WE NEED ONLY QUOTE DON CUPITT, UNIVERSITY LECTURER IN DIVINITY AND DEAN OF EMMANUEL COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE. IN THE B00K ENTITLED "THE MYTH OF GOD INCARNATE," PAGE 133, HE WRITES: JESUS WAS HIGHLY CRITICAL OF THE FAMILY FOR STRONG RELIGIOUS REASONS. FOR HIM, THE CALL OF THE KINGDOM WAS AWAY FROM FAMILY ROLES, NOT INTO THEM. THE DEALIZATION OF THE FAMILY IS A MODERN CULTURAL CREATION, WHICH THE CHURCHES HAVE VALIDATED, AND NOW NO MODERN BISHOP WOULD DREAM OF PUBLICLY ENDORSING JESUS’ VIEWS ABOUT THE FAMILY.">
Thirdly, he also made reference to the wars fought by the Holy Prophet Mohamed. As. related in the Holy Quran God instructed the Prophet to take into his care the wives and the bounties of the war. This man said (that this) is not expected of any good leader and that God the living one could not command anybody to do these ugly things.
<EDITOR’S NOTE:
THESE ARE OF COURSE FLAGRANT LIES, FOR THE QURAN SAYS THE EXACT OPPOSITE IN 8:67.>
At this point, I referred him to holy Quran 33:40 and 33:45v48.
Fourthly on the matter concerning marriage and divorce in Islam the man made references to Quran chapter 4, that it is unreligious to divorce women, locked-in women for the offenses committed whatsoever.
When I told him that Mohammed usually acted on instruction from God, the man called this a brain washing.
I am confused at this point and I was so much grieved that I broke my fast (of Ramadan) that day.
Dear brother in Islam, I need your spiritual advice. I love this religion and the approaches to it, but how I can convince the future unbelievers on the issues discussed above is a day dream to me.
My happiness was restored when I read a book called AL-QURAN THE ULTIMATE MIRACLE by Ahmad Deedat summarizing your discovery of the Mathematical Miracle of Quran, and published by the Islamic Education Trust of Nigeria. References were made to your books in defense of Quran and the Prophet Mohammed. As a result I decided to write to you directly. I do hope that you will do justice to my request as urgent as possible.
I beg you with the name of Allah, the Prophets and the seal of the Prophets (Mohammed) the holy Quran and by this holy month of Ramadan to send me the details of the Quran’s miracle as soon as possible.
God bless you. Yours in Islam, (Yusuf K. Abiodum)
AS ALWAYS, WE SENT TO THIS BROTHER COPIES OF THE BOOKS QURAN: VISUAL
PRESENTATION OF THE MIRACLE" AND "THE COMPUTER SPEAKS: GOD’s MESSAGE TO THE WORLD," WHICH DETAIL THE MIRACULOUS MATHEMATICAL COMPOSITION OF QURAN, ALONG WITH COPIES FROM SELECTED PAGES FROM THE BOOK,"THE MYTH OF GOD INCARNATE" WHICH WAS AUTHORED BY OUTSTANDING CHRISTIANS.
IN 1007. OF THESE CASES, THE MATHEMATICAL MIRACLE OF QUR’AN UTTERLY STUMPED THE ENEMIES OF QUR’AN. FOR IT PRESENTS PHYSICAL, INCONTROVERTIBLE, EVIDENCE THAT QUR’AN COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE WRITTEN BY HUMANS.
IT IS WITH DEEP GRATITUDE AND THANKS TO ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TAALA THAT THIS AWESOME MIRACLE, DESCRIBED BY ALLAH HIMSELF AS "ONE OF THE GREATEST MIRACLES" (74:3035), HAS COME OUT OF THIS MOSQUE. LITERALLY MILLIONS OF MUSLIMS AROUND THE WORLD NOW POSSESS PHYSICAL, EXAMINABLE, AND UTTERLY INDISPUTABLE PROOF THAT QUR’AN IS GOD’s MESSAGE TO ALL THE PEOPLE.
NOT EVERY PERSON IS ALLOWED TO READ AND UNDERSTAND QUR’AN. FOR OUR’AN IS NOT A COMMON BOOK; IT IS THE BOOK OF GOD THAT BEARS His MESSAGE TO THE WORLD THE OUR’AN IS DESCRIBED AS "GLORIOUS" (5O:1), "GREAT" (15:87), AND "HONORABLE" (56:77). ONLY VERY SPECIAL PEOPLE ARE PERMITTED TO GRASP THE QUR’AN’S MESSAGE.
IN ORDER TO QUALIFY AS A RECIPIENT OF QURAN, ONE MUST SATISFY A CERTAIN PREREQUISITE, WHICH I TERM THE KEY TO OURAN. WITHOUT THIS KEY, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY ANY PERSON CAN GRASP A SINGLE VERSE OR EVEN A SINGLE WORD FROM QURAN.
THE EXISTENCE OF A KEY TO OUR’AN EXPLAINS THE STRANGE PHENOMENON THAT CERTAIN ARABIC SPEAKING INDIVIDUALS, EVEN AUTHORITIES IN
THE ARABIC LANGUAGE, ARE OFTEN FORBIDDEN FROM UNDERSTANDING QURAN.
AS IT TURNS OUT, GOD HIMSELF FORBIDS THEM FROM UNDERSTANDING OURAN. THUS, UNLIKE ANY OTHER BOOK, THERE ARE HIDDEN FORCES THAT CONTROL OUR ACCESS TO OURAN. ONLY THOSE WHO POSSESS THE KEY TO OURAN ARE PERMITTED ACCESS TO OURAN. WHAT IS THE KEY TO OURAN?
THE KEY TO OUR’AN IS TO BELIEVE OURAN, I.E., TO BELIEVE THAT QURAN IS COMPLETE PERFECT, FULLY DETAILED, AND SHALL BE THE ONLY SOURCE OF RELIGIOUS GUIDANCE (6: 19, 38, 114). PEOPLE.WHO BELIEVE IN OTHER SOURCES OF RELIGIOUS GUIDANCE SUCH AS THE SAYINGS AND ACTIONS FALSELY ATTRIBUTED TO THE PROPHET CAN NEVER ATTAIN ACCESS TO QUR’AN. THIS IS CLEARLY STATED IN VERSE 57 OF SURA 18:
WHO IS MORE EVIL THAN THOSE WHO ARE REMINDED OF GOD’S EVELATIONS, THEN REJECT THEM WITHOUT BEING AWARE OF THEIR SINFULNESS? CONSEQUENTLY, WE PLACE SHIELDS ON THEIR HEARTS TO PRE VENT THEM FROM UNDERSTANDING IT (THE QURAN) AND WE PLACE DEAFNESS IN THEIR EARS. THUS, WHEN YOU INVITE THEM TO THE GUIDANCE, THEY CAN NEVER EVER BE GUIDED.
EVEN THE LANGUAGE OF THE OURAN READER IS IRRELEVANT TO UNDERSTANDING QUR’AN. A PERSON WHO DOES NOT KNOW A SINGLE LETTER IN THE ARABIC LANGUAGE, BUT POSSESSES THE KEY TO QURAN IS GUARANTEED ACCESS TO QURAN (SEE 41:44).
AS DETAILED IN THE BOOKS "VISUAL PRESENTATION OF THE MIRACLE" AND "THE COMPUTER SPEAKS" (PUBLISHED BY THIS MASJID), IT IS THE COMPUTER THAT DISCOVERED THE KEY TO QURAN.
