PROPHECY AND FULFILMENT
We are forced to conclude from these mind-boggling facts that no human
being, not even the whole of mankind with all their Computers and Calculators
could duplicate this Holy Book - Mathematical Miracle - THE QURAN,
"The ultimate miracle of creation." If you still harbour
some lingering doubts about its Divine Authorship, why not ask your Computer?
The Holy Qur'an has already been computerized. Refer to Dr. Rashad Khalifa's
Book - "The Perpetual Miracle of Muhammed,". After the
foregoing mathematical "coincidence" were programmed
into the computer, this "electronic wizard" was asked, "WHAT
ARE THE POSSIBILITIES OF A BOOK BEING WRITTEN, AND BY 'CHANCE' SUCCESSFULLY WEAVING AN INTERLOCKING SYSTEM BASED ON THE NUMBER '19'?"
The computer's reply is - the odds of such a happening are: "Six
hundred and twenty-six Septillions to 1 against such a happening!" For easier apprenhension of this phenomenal odds, let me put the figure
down in numbers: It is a 626,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 to 1 (against
coincidence!)
New facts are being continually discovered on the same mathematical basis,
thus increasing the odds against coincidence still further.
The magnitude of the above figute is far more formidable then the odds
of life originating on earth by a seried of "Coincidences,"
by "accident" as the agnostics would have believe. For life
to generate and survive on our globe, here are some of their "chance"
prerequisites:
- The earth must be inclined on its axis at 23 1/2 half degrees.
- The rotation of the earth must be at the right speed.
- The distance from the sun must not be any nearer or any further.
- The moon to must be at its present distance.
- The combination of the gases surrounding us must be at its
existing ratio, etc. etc.
The possibility of every factor necessary for life to exist, exactly
as we have it, by mere chance, is billions to one against there happening.
But just a single angle of the Qur'anic Miracle puts the odds to septillions!
We have yet to discover other aspects of this Wonder Book of God.
What should this latest Qura'nic discovery mean to us Muslims? We number
some 900,000,00 in the world today, but really count for nothing. We are
really a third grade nation. With all our "petro-dollars," even
if constructively utilised to rebuild the Islamic Ummah, we Muslims would
still be unable to catch up with Russia, China or America. For every step
we advance in science and technology, in nuclear physics and space research,
the above mentioned giants would be ten steps ahead of us. We will never
be able to catch up with them. It is not Muslims-like to be pessimistic,
it is true, but we have to be realistic.
Yet Allah has promised us in His Infallible Book, that He will make His
"Deen" (meaning WAY OF LIFE, Generally translated as "religion"),
to prevail over every other way of life.
IT IS HE (God Almighty) WHO
HAS SENT HIS APOSTLE WITH GUIDANCE
AND THE TELIGION OF TRUTH,
THAT HE MAY PROCLAIM IT OVER ALL RELIGION,
EVEN THOUGH THE MUSHRIKS MAY DETEST (IT)
{Holy Qur'an 61:9}
The same promise is repeated in 48:28 with a variation at the end.
AND ENOUGH IS ALLAH AS A WITNESS (To this fact that
He will make you to prevail)
How can these prophecies be fulfilled in us when we have
become the laughing stock of the world? How on earth are we going to convince
the atheists and the agnostics, the Christians, Communists, and others,
when we dissipate our resources and energies in useless endeavours. However,
despite our present dismal position and degradation, we shall triumph! The one in Whose Hands is all Power will Perform the Miracle!
. . . THE PROMISE OF ALLAH IS TRUE . . .
{Holy Qur'an 4:122}
Again and again it has been demonstrated in history, how God fulfilled His Plans. Historians have failed to account for the sudden rise
of the Arabs - from obscurity to greatness - through Islam. Let Thomas
Carlyle describes the scene in his usual inimitable way: "A poor
shephard people roaming unnoticed in its deserts since the creation of
the world:" (NOBODY HAD GIVEN THEM A SECOND LOOK - ALEXANDER
THE GREAT PASSED THEM BY, THE PERSIANS PASSED THEM BY, THE ROMANS PASSED
THEM BY - THIS HUMAN RUBBISH - AN ABSOLUTE LIABILITY TO ANY WOULD-BE CONQUEROR) "A Hero-Prophet was sent down to them with a word they could believe:
see, the unnoticed becomes world-notable, the small has grown world-great;
with in one century afterwards, Arabia is at Granada on this hand, at
Delhi on that; - glancing in valour and splendour and the light of genius,
Arabia shines through long ages over a great section of the world . .
. These Arabs, the man Mohamet, and that one century, - is it not as if
a spark had fallen, one spark on a world of what seemed black unnoticeable
sand; but lo! the sand proves explosive powder, blazes heaven-high from
Delhi to Granada!" These are the words of a friendly critic,
but compare them with those of a venomous Jew, who, writing on the history
of medicine, has a sarcastic dig at his Semintic cousins - "camel
drivers and goat-herds sitting on the throne of the Caesars." What profound truth, uttered in hate! Of all the Sementes - the Phoenicicians
had gone to Europe as traders, the Jews, as fugitives or captives, the Arabs alone had gone to Europe as Kings!
This is what Allah had done in the past and He can easily do the same
again. Remember the Mongols - how Islam conquered the conquerors of the
Islamic Empire? After the initial barbaric onslaughts they became the
voluntary slaves of Islam, to become its defenders and upholders for centuries.
History is replete with examples of the Mighty Hand of the God of Mercy,
lifting up nations from abysmal depths of degradation to glorious heights
in an instant. What His Mighty Hand do the impossible. If Jis "Deen"
were in the hands of today's super powers, with their atomic weapons and
space rockets, with mammoth printing presses and organising ability, and
with all their material resources; if at their hands He made His plan
to prevail, it would not be any wonder. But if for the down and out."
for the people from the "gutters," for everybody's "football"
to vanquish the mighty, arrogant loards of the world, it would be a Miracle
indeed!
It is our privillege and our prerogative to give battle to the nations
of the earth, not with guns and dynamite but with intellectual weapons.
Intellectually, Allah has given us the upper hand. He has given us a way
of life, and we do not have to apologise for anything: We have the answers
in Islam to every problem of mankind. First get the intellectual acceptance
of the unbeliever, the rest will follow as night follows the day. Prove
to our antagonists that the Qur'an is the veritable Word of God. Demonstrate
its Miraculous construction which only an Omnipotent, Omniscient Being
could have produced. It is our duty to invite the unbeliever to Islam
with the Qur'an in one hand and logic in the other; let us march forward
for the conquest of the hearts and minds of mankind!
INVITE (all) TO THE WAY OF THY LORD WITH WISDOM . .
.
{Holy Qur'an 16:125}
And wisdom demands that we speak to a people according to their mental
background and experiences. We are now living in the "Age of the
Computer." Without this magical beast, all our progess will come
to a standstill. Our airways, our banking and our telephones would be
utterly helpless without this slave who has turned master. If the telephones
in America were de-computerised for only a day, every women from the age
of 18 to 45 would have to be mobilised to run this one service alone and
the manual equipment no longer exists!
Everyone, whether he has seen a computer or not, has heard about the
magic and marvel of this machine and his life is affected by it. And astonishingly,
it always gives you the right answer, wheather Christian-owned or Communist-owned.
If you ask the computer, even with your own preconcieved notions - "What
is one plus one plus one?" The unerring answer will always be "three." If you ask a Roman Catholic-owned computer, "God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost - how many
Gods do they make? It will immediately respond "THREE," without blushing.It has no feeling or sympathy for its owner's who desire
to hear "ONE."
Talk to the educated nations of the earth in a language they can readily
understand, the language of "exact science" - mathematics. Show
them the Qur'anic Mathematical "interlocking" marvel wherewith
its Author - God Almighty - has preserved. His Book from all human
tampering, and challenge him with the Author's
SAY: IF THE WHOLE OF MANKIND AND JINNS
WERE TO GATHER TOGETHER TO PRODUCE
THE LIKE OF THIS QUR'AN, THEY COULD NOT
PRODUCE THE LIKE THEREOF, EVEN IF THEY
BACKED UP EACH OTHER WITH HELP AND SUPPORT.
{Holy Qur'an 17:88}
With the new Qur'anic findings, we will be able to achieve the following
five effects:
- It will create a great consternation in the heart of the antagonists
of Islam.
- It will convince sincere Jews and Christians, people like Jules Masserman
and Michael H. Hart who hold good opinions about Islam, that the source
of Muhummed's revelation is God Almighty, and the Holy Qur'an is the "Infallible Word of God" perfectly perserved.
- It will increase and strengthen the faith of the Muslims, who already
believe that the Qur'an is Allah's Kalaam.
- It will eliminate all lingering doubts from the heart of the Muslims
and the sincere followers of the "People of the Book."
- And finally, it will expose the bigots and the hypocrites as unfortunate
fanatics whose evil destination is Hell, which God Almighty has prepared
for those who deliberately reject His Guidance.
In conclusion, it is my humble Prayer that may Allah shower His choicest
blessings upon the Holy Prophet Muhummed (May peace be upon him) and inspire
Muslims to be worthy of His Mercy and the Honour He has reposed on all
who serve Him with Gratitude . . .
AAMEEN!
BUT ALLAH WILL SWIFTLY REWARD THOSE
WHO (serve Him) WITH GRATITUDE.
