Dear Rashad, I will not relent till success has come your way, though

I know Allah works out everything in a divine way, hut it is our duty to assist the messenger. As long as I have solemnly believed in your mission as a messenger sent by God to this age, and I know through you God will make Islam recognized by all as the true religion over

all others—48:28 (48+28 = 76 = 19x4), 9:33, 61:9.

I also believe the Muslim nations may sooner or later, sooner rather than later, pledge their allegiance, belief and acceptance of you, then they will receive true religious instruction from you in the Quran - and ways to govern their people with Allah’s laws.

Dear Rashad: God’s Messenger of the Covenant:

I am writing to acknowledge receipt of your booklet on "Principles of Muslim Prayer." May Allah reward you for sending me the book and all other information useful for my religious practices. I have since changed from my previous way of doing the Contact Prayers (Salat) to the correct way I learned from the book. I have also introduced it to my immediate family members and friends.

Dear Rashad:

I pray Allah this brief communication finds you and the other believers at Masjid Tucson in good health and spirit. We in the New York area arc excited in anticipation of the forthcoming authorized original Quran that has been out of print for about 1400 years. We support you and we respect you. Thank you for endeavoring on behalf of all of us.

Dear Dr. Rashad Khalifa, the Messenger of God:

Praise he to God. In the last few issues of M.P. we are reading an entirely new dimension of the Miracle of the Quran—the structural miracle—and this is quite apart from the miracle involving the Arabic alphabets. Now, we are wondering what will be the excuse of those who deny the miracle of the Last Testament of God, and what about those who insist that the name of Muhammad (PBUH) consists of 5 Arabic letters (M.P. of Dec 88)!

Despite my challenge to them in the February issue of M.P. to "Give Me One Good Reason," the disbeliveers cannot come up with a single reason as to why I could not possibly he God’s messenger! Where are the "Muslim" scholars? Why do they not supply their followers with one, just one, reason in support of their stand? The fact is, the truth must win, in accordance with God’s law (17:81, 21:18).

A messenger of God must present proof that he is God’s messenger. And, we have every right to demand such a proof.

Every messenger of God is supported by divine signs proving that he is authorized by the Almighty to deliver His messages. Moses threw down his staff and it turned into a serpent by God’s leave, Jesus healed the leprous and revived the (lead by God’s leave, Saleh's sign was the famous camel, Abraham walked out of the fire, and Muhammad’s miracle was the Quran (29:50-51). The Quran (3:18, 33:7), and the Bible before that (Malachi 3:1-8), have prophesied the advent of a consolidating messenger, God’s Messenger of the covenant, whose mission is to purify and unify the messages of all the prophets into one. Henceforth, there is only one religion; Islam (3:19). It is only befitting that a messenger with such a crucial mission must he supported by the most powerful miracle (74:30-35). While the miracle of previous messengers were limited in time and place, God’s miracle supporting His Messenger of the covenant is perpetual, verifiable, and utterly incontrovertible.

Thank God for His perfect plan. There is so much work to he done, that a widespread recognition of His messenger, at the wrong time, would actually hinder the mission.

First and foremost: There was the purification of the Quran, followed by publishing the pure Arabic text, and its authorized English rendering. If I were recognized by a million people, they simply would have consumed all my time, leaving no time for the important work of translating and publishing God’s Final Testament.

As you all know, I enjoy meeting you at the airport, hosting you at Masjid Tucson and I genuinely enjoy giving you the attention you deserve when you are in Tucson. There is no greater honor than serving and being in the company of the extremely fortunate believers named by Almighty God as "Al-Saabeqoon, Al-Saabeqoon," who arc God’s very special servants and the closest to Him. They are "Al-Muqarraboon." (see 56:11).

I must add here that all of you have been truly sympathetic, compassionate, and understanding, and this is my chance to tell you that I did notice, and I have been appreciative.

It is a matter of statistics; if there were a million of you at this time, I would have been overwhelmed by a greater number of honored guests who would totally consume the time needed for work.

There is so much work to be done. And I expect to devote a few more years to such work.

The main work has been completed, ALHAMDU LILLAH. The momentous work of publishing the pure Quran for the first time,* together with its English rendering, has been done. You will have the hook in your hands IN SHAA ALLAH within a few weeks.

The next project is to print and publish Lisa Spray’s book entitled. "Jesus." This is a "Christian" country, and the people need to know God’s truth about Jesus. As you know, our first limited printing was exhaustcd in a couple of months. Those of you who arc still waiting for a copy: there is light at the end of the tunnel. You will get your copy IN SHAA ALLAH by December 59.

Then comes the English CONCORDANCE OF THE QURAN. This is a big project that will enable anyone to find anything in the Quran; all you need is "one word."

Witness God’s perfect plan. He has blessed a few extremely fortunate believers in almost every country and placed them in key positions at central locations. They are the ambassadors of the perfected and purified Islam, and they are doing the God-guided job of helping the believers in their respective areas.

For example, in Nigeria, these fortunate ambassadors are placed in Lagos (the capital), Kano (the heart of the Muslim area), Minna (Niger State), Benin City, Funtua (Katsina State), Zara (Kaduna State), Sagamni (Ogun State), Sokoto, and in the far northeast corner of Maiduguri (Borno State). In India, you will find the true believers in Bombay, Coimbatore, Hyderabad, Kerala, Madras. You will find them in Egypt, Iran, Libya, Morocco, Pakistan, Europe, Ghana, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, and some places I have never heard of.

But not a single Arab. In accordance with 47:38, and 54:43 (read also the 15 verses before 54:43), the Arabs have been dismissed from God’s grace. They will be annihilated in the same way God annihilated ‘Aad, Thamoud, and Pharaoh’s army.

By the Arabs I mean those from Arabia—the area bound by the Indian Ocean in the South, the Red Sea on the West, the Persian Gulf and the borders of Iran on the East, and the Southern borders of Turkey in the north.
