Peace forum members,

''What is the Qur'an? What is a prophet? And what is a scripture?
More than 1400 years after the last revelation was made to a prophet of Abrahamic monotheism, these questions still remain a mystery and were left unanswered by the first generations of believers.

To answer such interrogations, Muslims and researchers around the world have long turned to Hadith, Sunnah and Quranic exegeses. In the midst of this vast literature, the reader can quickly be confronted with the issue of different versions describing a same event.
The same is true when one uses secondary sources to learn more about the history of the Quran.

Among all the conflicting opinions, which one to follow? One alternative set aside for a long time still exists: returning to the qur'anic text only.

This is what the author of this study has done, while answering a crucial question for understanding the origins of Islam: what does the Quran reveals about the Quran itself? In addition to reconstructing what ancient history of the text revealed about itself, the author proposes to question the many prejudices long held against the Quran and its genesis.

A completely different vision of the foundations of Islam emerges from reconsidering the original ground that saw the birth of the first Muslim community. Its original aspect resurfaces and reveals that Islam and the Quran as perceived today have nothing to do with what they were in the early days. Unlike current scientific and religious dogmas that attempt to present what Islam and its founding text are, the reader will find in this work a precise definition of the substantial identity of the message received by the prophets.

The question of the nature of the revelation has finally been answered.

Above can be found in the book The Quran according to the Quran: Understanding the Nature of the Divine Word - by M.K. Benchenane.

I truly recommend it to those who wish to advance in God's way.

You may order the book here God willing: https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B088XWV5HK/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_i_MXMXEbDHDAMC2

General Issues / Questions / Do judge me!
September 01, 2014, 02:07:07 PM
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

In many different situations when we get into conversations, discussions and even argues, we often use cliche arguments in order to defend ourselves. Many of these arguments are merely based on deeper levels of our conciousness of feeling exposed .

One of these arguments, which we often hear people say, is: 'Hey don't judge me' or 'You are not allowed to judge, Only God can judge me'.
It is in general a very common statement, even used by believers.

We should bare in mind that the ultimate Judgement will be done by the Best Judge: the Master of the Day of Judgment.

6:62 Then everyone is returned to God, their rightful Lord and Master. Absolutely, He is the ultimate judge; He is the most accurate reckoner.

But we should also bare in mind that God has send down the sciptures to prophets througout all times, in order to judge among the people in this world.

Each prophet confirming the previous existing scripture and bringing a new revelation.
Since the revelation of the last and final scripture; the Quran, we have access to study and acknowledge the truth of all existing scriptures.

2:213 The people used to be one community when God sent the prophets as bearers of good news, as well as warners. He sent down with them the scripture, bearing the truth, to judge among the people in their disputes. Ironically, those who received the scripture were the ones who rejected any new scripture, despite clear proofs given to them. This is due to jealousy on their part. God guides those who believe to the truth that is disputed by all others, in accordance with His will. God guides whoever wills in a straight path.

2:136 Say, "We believe in God, and in what was sent down to us, and in what was sent down to Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob, and the Patriarchs; and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and all the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction among any of them. To Him alone we are submitters."


We ought to use all existing scriptures to seek for the best path, while baring in mind that the Quran (being purified from all devil interference) is superseding the previous, and is therefor used as the ultimate guideline at all times.

5:44 We have sent down the Torah, containing guidance and light. Ruling in accordance with it were the Jewish prophets, as well as the rabbis and the priests, as dictated to them in God's scripture, and as witnessed by them. Therefore, do not reverence human beings; you shall reverence Me instead. And do not trade away My revelations for a cheap price. Those who do not rule in accordance with God's revelations are the disbelievers.

5:45 And we decreed for them in it that: the life for the life, the eye for the eye, the nose for the nose, the ear for the ear, the tooth for the tooth, and an equivalent injury for any injury. If one forfeits what is due to him as a charity, it will atone for his sins. Those who do not rule in accordance with God's revelations are the unjust.

5:46 Subsequent to them, we sent Jesus, the son of Mary, confirming the previous scripture, the Torah. We gave him the Gospel, containing guidance and light, and confirming the previous scriptures, the Torah, and augmenting its guidance and light, and to enlighten the righteous.

5:47 The people of the Gospel shall rule in accordance with God's revelations therein. Those who do not rule in accordance with God's revelations are the wicked.

5:48 Then we revealed to you this scripture, truthfully, confirming previous scriptures, and superseding them. You shall rule among them in accordance with God's revelations, and do not follow their wishes if they differ from the truth that came to you. For each of you, we have decreed laws and different rites. Had God willed, He could have made you one congregation. But He thus puts you to the test through the revelations He has given each of you. You shall compete in righteousness. To God is your final destiny - all of you - then He will inform you of everything you had disputed.

5:49 You shall rule among them in accordance with God's revelations to you. Do not follow their wishes, and beware lest they divert you from some of God's revelations to you. If they turn away, then know that God wills to punish them for some of their sins. Indeed, many people are wicked.

4:105 We have sent down to you the scripture, truthfully, in order to judge among the people in accordance with what God has shown you. You shall not side with the betrayers.


One may say that God has chosen prophets and messengers to be the ones to rule and judge among the people. And this is indeed true, however it is also made clear that the believers should follow the messenger(s) to be on the certain outlined straight path. And that these messengers are an example of how believers should be submitting to God alone.

42:13 He decreed for you the same religion decreed for Noah, and what we inspired to you, and what we decreed for Abraham, Moses, and Jesus: "You shall uphold this one religion, and do not divide it." The idol worshipers will greatly resent what you invite them to do. God redeems to Himself whomever He wills; He guides to Himself only those who totally submit.

3:19 The only religion approved by God is "Submission." Ironically, those who have received the scripture are the ones who dispute this fact, despite the knowledge they have received, due to jealousy. For such rejectors of God's revelations, God is most strict in reckoning.


Thus, it is mentioned that messengers are witnesses among the people, and the people are also witnesses among themselves.

22:78 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.

4:135 O you who believe, you shall be absolutely equitable, and observe God, when you serve as witnesses, even against yourselves, or your parents, or your relatives. Whether the accused is rich or poor, God takes care of both. Therefore, do not be biased by your personal wishes. If you deviate or disregard (this commandment), then God is fully Cognizant of everything you do.


And that in times when people are not able to find solutions to their disputes among themselves, that they are commanded to refer it to God's messenger.

4:65 Never indeed, by your Lord; they are not believers unless they come to you to judge in their disputes, then find no hesitation in their hearts whatsoever in accepting your judgment. They must submit a total submission.

We know that God's prophets and messengers would never speak out of personal desire. They only preach God's revelations.

42:15 This is what you shall preach, and steadfastly maintain what you are commanded to do, and do not follow their wishes. And proclaim: "I believe in all the scriptures sent down by God. I was commanded to judge among you equitably. God is our Lord and your Lord. We have our deeds and you have your deeds. There is no argument between us and you. God will gather us all together; to Him is the ultimate destiny."

53:3 Nor was he speaking out of a personal desire.
53:4 It was divine inspiration.


And thus, we should never place our own opinion above that of God and His Messengers.

49:1 O you who believe, do not place your opinion above that of God and His messenger. You shall reverence God. God is Hearer, Omniscient.

4:115 As for him who opposes the messenger, after the guidance has been pointed out to him, and follows other than the believers' way, we will direct him in the direction he has chosen, and commit him to Hell; what a miserable destiny!


And now when we claim to be true believers and submitters, then why are we contradicting the commandments and clear words of God, the Most Wise?

God has given us the Scriptures, provided with knowledge and wisdom to be taught the differences between good and evil on every aspect of life, in every level of perception. It is thus the reason why God tells us to examine everything and everyone, including ourselves, based on God's enlighting Scriptures, to find a result of having the understanding of the circumstances. This understanding, based on knowledge and wisdom, is the criterium of making a righteous judgment. This criterium is needed for advocating righteousness and forbidding evil.

3:114 They believe in God and the Last Day, they advocate righteousness and forbid evil, and they hasten to do righteous works. These are the righteous.

For true submitters, it is therefore impossible to be prejudgmental in anything, as we are commanded to fully examine everything. And it is also impossible to be not judgmental, as it only exposes the weak level of sincerity, commitment, truthfulness and submission to God.
Ironicaly, while every person is telling and even fighting one another not to judge, we see in reality that the majority of people is in fact (pre)judging eachother, by following the baseless criterium of their own heart and mind. This kind of judgment leads to the increase of hate towards eachother, to discrimination and generalization, to injustice towards people, and to transgression and corruption.

This kind of judgment is not only based on twisted criteria between right and wrong, but it is also done in a baseless manner. From the use of bad language and mockery, and making conspiracies, to being aggressive and violent.

This is thus the reason why we associate a judgment with something negative, confronting and burdening.

45:17 We have given them herein clear commandments. Ironically, they did not dispute this until the knowledge had come to them. This is due to jealousy on their part. Surely, your Lord will judge them on the Day of Resurrection regarding everything they have disputed.

But when we are aware of Our Creator and His Words and when we apply the teachings in our daily life, then making a judgment about others, about ourselves, or being judged by other submitters, it will feel liberating, enlightning, constructive and righteous.

The fact is that the more knowledgable you become on God's decreed religion of Submission, the higher you get in rank towards God, by applying that knowledge in your acts and deeds. A righteous judgment is always based on God's Teachings, and therefore is always supported by just arguments.

At all times, we thus seek for God's approval. We know it takes a life long process in doing so.  Knowing this, we understand that everything comes and goes with time, and that it takes stage by stage for becoming more knowledgeable and wise, and more righteous, and closer in our level of submission to God.

So instead of getting tourmented when somebody judges you according to God's rightousness, feel blessed and thankful to get a chance to repent and reform yourself.

And when someone judges you, but you find the judgment unjust or incorrect and not being based on the Scriptures, then provide arguments to prove the person wrong. These are the arguments that are based on God's words, based on the Truth.
It might cause you to get in debate, but as long as you do it in the best possible manner, then that's what counts. Cause God knows best who has strayed from His path, and He knows best who are the guided ones.

16:125 You shall invite to the path of your Lord with wisdom and kind enlightenment, and debate with them in the best possible manner. Your Lord knows best who has strayed from His path, and He knows best who arethe guided ones.

And when you judge someone righteously and it is not appreciated, then don't lose the taught standards by provoking anger or hate. Disregard the person and trust in God that it happens for a reason.

7:199 You shall resort to pardon, advocate tolerance, and disregard the ignorant.

It may be that the person does not deserve God's guidance according to God, the Most Wise or it may be that God Wills to redeem the person in a different stage of his/her lifespan.

28:56 You cannot guide the ones you love. God is the only One who guides in accordance with His will, and in accordance with His knowledge of those who deserve the guidance.

9:106 Others are waiting for God's decision; He may punish them, or He may redeem them. God is Omniscient, Most Wise.

So, instead of pointing the fingers at each other, point your finger to the straight path, outlined by God. Then see for yourself how far you are from that path. That is the best way to judge! As we know that above every knowledgeable one, there is one who is even more knowledgeable. And that makes a clear lessong for the believers, to always stay kind and humble among the people. And to never reject or accept anything, without verifying it by the scriptures.

52:25 They will say, "We used to be kind and humble among our people.

17:36 You shall not accept any information, unless you verify it for yourself. I have given you the hearing, the eyesight, and the brain, and you are responsible for using them.

49:6 O you who believe, if a wicked person brings any news to you, you shall first investigate, lest you commit injustice towards some people, out of ignorance, then become sorry and remorseful for what you have done.

12:76 ... We exalt whomever we choose to higher ranks. Above every knowledgeable one, there is one who is even more knowledgeable.


The ones who are truthful, sincere and obedient submitters will only understand and heed this concept of judging. And if others decide to turn their backs on this, then remind yourself that it is no ones resposibility to guide another soul. Everything happens according with God's Will. Praise be to God.

27:81 Nor can you guide the blind out of their straying. The only ones who will hear you are those who believe in our revelations, and decide to be submitters.

So I would like to emphazise that I would appreciate the righteous judgments from all of you. So please do judge me according to God's Words!

And May God bless us for advocating rightousness and reward us for seeking His approval.

General Issues / Questions / The Winds
July 26, 2014, 04:18:57 PM
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

God sends the winds with good omens
27:63 Who is the One who guides you in the darkness of land and sea? Who is the One who sends the winds with good news, signaling His mercy? Is it another god with God? Most exalted is God, above having any partner.
2:164 In the creation of the heavens and the earth, the alternation of night and day, the ships that roam the ocean for the benefit of the people, the water that God sends down from the sky to revive dead land and to spread in it all kinds of creatures, the manipulation of the winds, and the clouds that are placed between the sky and the earth, there are sufficient proofs for people who understand.

45:5 Also, the alternation of the night and the day, and the provisions that God sends down from the sky to revive dead lands, and the manipulation of the winds; all these are proofs for people who understand.
30:46 Among His proofs is that He sends the winds with good omen, to shower you with His mercy, and to allow the ships to run in the sea in accordance with His rules, and for you to seek His bounties (through commerce), that you may be appreciative.

30:48 God is the One who sends the winds, to stir up clouds, to be spread throughout the sky in accordance with His will. He then piles the clouds up, then you see the rain coming down therefrom. When it falls on whomever He chooses from among His servants, they rejoice.
35:9 God is the One who sends the winds to stir up clouds, then we drive them towards barren lands, and revive such lands after they were dead. Thus is the resurrection.

7:57 He is the One who sends the wind with good omen, as a mercy from His hands. Once they gather heavy clouds, we drive them to dead lands, and send down water therefrom, to produce with it all kinds of fruits. We thus resurrect the dead, that you may take heed.

25:48 He is the One who sends the winds with good omens of His mercy, and we send down from the sky pure water.

15:22 And we send the winds as pollinators, and cause water to come down from the sky for you to drink. Otherwise, you could not keep it palatable.

51:1 The blowing winds.
51:2 Bearing rain.
51:3 Bringing provisions.
51:4 Distributing them as commanded.
51:5 What is promised to you will surely come to pass.

The winds are also proofs of warnings
77:1( Angels) dispatched in succession.
77:2 To drive the wind.
77:3 Stir up clouds.
77:4 Distribute the provisions.
77:5 Deliver messages.
77:6 Good news, as well as warnings.
77:7 What is promised will come to pass.

10:22 He is the One who moves you across the land and sea. You get onto the ships, and they sail smoothly in a nice breeze. Then, while rejoicing therein, violent wind blows, and the waves surround them from every side. This is when they implore God, sincerely devoting their prayers to Him alone: "If You only save us this time, we will be eternally appreciative."

10:23 But as soon as He saves them, they transgress on earth, and oppose the truth. O people, your transgression is only to the detriment of your own souls. You remain preoccupied with this worldly life, then to us is your ultimate return, then we inform you of everything you had done.

10:24 The analogy of this worldly life is like this: we send down water from the sky to produce with it all kinds of plants from the earth, and to provide food for the people and the animals. Then, just as the earth is perfectly adorned, and its people think that they are in control thereof, our judgment comes by night or by day, leaving it completely barren, as if nothing existed the previous day. We thus explain the revelations for people who reflect.


Messengers throughout the generations come and tell them to ask God for forgiveness and to change their ways. Messengers warn people, by reminding them of God's imminent, inevitable retributions that happen as a consequence of their own evil works.
27:46 He said, "O my people, why do you hasten to commit evil instead of good works? If only you implore God for forgiveness, you may attain mercy."
27:47 They said, "We consider you a bad omen for us, you and those who joined you." He said, "Your omen is fully controlled by God. Indeed, you are deviant people."

36:13 Cite for them the example of people in a community that received the messengers.
36:14 When we sent to them two (messengers), they disbelieved them. We then supported them by a third. They said, "We are (God's) messengers to you."
36:15 They said, "You are no more than human beings like us. The Most Gracious did not send down anything. You are liars."
36:16 They said, "Our Lord knows that we have been sent to you.
36:17 "Our sole mission is to deliver the message."
36:18 They said, "We consider you bad omens. Unless you refrain, we will surely stone you, or afflict you with painful retribution."
36:19 They said, "Your omen depends on your response, now that you have been reminded. Indeed, you are transgressing people."

41:13 If they turn away, then say, "I am warning you of a disaster like the disaster that annihilated `?d and Thamoud."
41:14 Their messengers went to them, as well as before them and after them, saying, "You shall not worship except God." They said, "Had our Lord willed, He could have sent angels. We are disbelievers in what you say."
41:15 As for `?d, they turned arrogant on earth, opposed the truth, and said, "Who is more powerful than we?" Did they not realize that God, who created them, is more powerful than they? They were unappreciative of our revelations.

The disbelieving people will remain heedless and will face the same fate as  their counterparts in the previous generations.
41:16 Consequently, we sent upon them violent wind, for a few miserable days. We thus afflicted them with humiliating retribution in this life, and the retribution of the Hereafter is more humiliating; they can never win.

46:23 He said, "The knowledge about this is with God; I only deliver to you what I was sent to deliver. However, I see that you people are ignorant."
46:24 When they saw the storm heading their way, they said, "This storm will bring to us much needed rain." Instead, this is what you challenged (H?d) to bring; violent wind wherein there is painful retribution.
46:25 It destroyed everything, as commanded by its Lord. By morning, nothing was standing except their homes. We thus requite the guilty people.
46:26 We had established them in the same way as we established you, and provided them with hearing, eyes, and minds. But their hearing, eyes, and minds did not help them at all. This is because they decided to disregard God's revelations. Thus, the prophecies and warnings that they ridiculed have caused their doom.

29:40 All those disbelievers were doomed as a consequence of their sins. Some of them we annihilated by violent winds, some were annihilated by the quake, some we caused the earth to swallow, and some we drowned. God is not the One who wronged them; it is they who wronged their own souls.

Retributions of disastrous winds
54:18`?d disbelieved. Consequently, how terrible was My retribution after the warnings.
54:19 We sent upon them violent winds, on a day of continuous misery.
54:20 It tossed the people around as if they were decayed palm tree trunks.
54:21 How terrible was My retribution after the warnings!
54:22 We made the Quran easy to learn. Does any of you wish to learn?

51:41 In `?d (there is a lesson). We sent upon them disastrous wind.
51:42 Anything that it came upon was utterly destroyed.

There is a total of 12 gates for the winds. 4 of them proceed winds of blessing, and of health; and from 8 proceed winds of punishment
Enoch 75:1 And at the extremities of the earth I beheld twelve gates open for all the winds, from which they proceed and blow over the earth.
2 Three of them are open in the front of heaven, three in the west, three on the right side of heaven, and three on the left. The first three are those which are towards the east, three are towards the north, three behind those which are upon the left, towards the south, and three on the west.
3 From four of them proceed winds of blessing, and of health; and from eight proceed winds of punishment; when they are sent to destroy the earth, and the heaven above it, all its inhabitants, and all which are in the waters, or on dry land.

4 winds with each tree gates.
The tree gates in the front of heaven, the tree gates in the west, the tree gates on the right side, the tree gates on the left

Winds from the eastern gate The first wind is called the eastern, because it is the first. (Enoch 76:1)
1. Destruction, drought, heat and perdition (punishment)
2. equity; rain, fruitfulness, health and dew (blessing and health)
3. cold and drought (punishment)

The south winds. The second is called the south, because the Most High there descends, and frequently there descends he who is blessed for ever.(Enoch 76:2)
1. hot wind  (punishment)
2. grateful odour, dew, rain, health and life (blessing and health)
3. dew, rain blight and destruction  (punishment)

Winds to the west The western wind has the name of diminution, because there all the luminaries of heaven are diminished, and descend.(Enoch 76:3)
1. dew, rain, frost, cold, snow and chill
2. rain, health and blessing (blessing and health)
3. drought, destruction, scorching and perdition

Winds to the north, the sea The fourth wind, which is named the north, is divided into three parts; one of which is for the habitation of man; another for seas of water, with valleys, woods, rivers, shady places, and snow; and the third part contains paradise.(Enoch 76:4)
1. dew, rain, blight, destruction  (punishment)
2. rain, dew, life and health (blessing and health)
3. mist, frost, snow, dew and blight  (punishment)


Enoch 75:4 The first of these winds proceeds from the gate termed the eastern, through the first gate on the east, which inclines southwards. From this goes forth destruction, drought, heat, and perdition.
5 From the second gate, the middle one, proceeds equity. There issue from it rain, fruitfulness, health, and dew; and from the third gate northwards, proceed cold and drought.

6 After these proceed the south winds through three principal gates; through their first gate, which inclines eastwards, proceeds a hot wind.
7 But from the middle gate proceed grateful odour, dew, rain, health, and life.
8 From the third gate, which is westwards, proceed dew, rain, blight, and destruction.

9 After these are the winds to the north, which is called the sea. They proceed from three gates. The first gate is that which is on the east, inclining southwards; from this proceed dew, rain, blight, and destruction. From the middle direct gate proceed rain, dew, life, and health. And from the third gate, which is westwards, inclining towards the south, proceed mist, frost, snow, rain, dew, and blight.

10 After these in the fourth quarter are the winds to the west. From the first gate, inclining northwards, proceed dew, rain, frost, cold, snow, and chill; from the middle gate proceed rain, health, and blessing;
11 And from the last gate, which is southwards, proceed drought, destruction, scorching, and perdition.

The messengers and those who believe are destined to be saved from these retributions.
33:9 O you who believe, remember God's blessing upon you; when soldiers attacked you, we sent upon them violent wind and invisible soldiers. God is Seer of everything you do.

10:103 We ultimately save our messengers and those who believe. It is our immutable law that we save the believers.
10:104 Say, "O people, if you have any doubt regarding my religion, I do not worship what you worship beside God. I worship God alone; the One who will terminate your lives. I am commanded to be a believer."
10:105 I was commanded: "Keep yourself devoted to the religion of monotheism; you shall not practice idol worship.
10:106 "You shall not worship beside God what possesses no power to benefit you or harm you. If you do, you will be a transgressor."

In our times, which will soon come to pass God willing
Revelation 7:1 After these things I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, on the sea, or on any tree. 2 Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, 3 saying, ?Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.?

Quran 42:33 If He willed, He could have stilled the winds, leaving them motionless on top of the water. These are proofs for those who are steadfast, appreciative.

The true believers are also saved from the most painful retribution: the everlasting Hell.
52:17 The righteous have deserved gardens and bliss.
52:18 They enjoy what their Lord has reserved for them; their Lord has spared them the retribution of Hell.
52:19 Eat and drink happily, in return for your works.
52:20 They relax on luxurious furnishings, and we match them with beautiful spouses.
52:21 For those who believed, and their children also followed them in belief, we will have their children join them. We never fail to reward them for any work. Every person is paid for what he did.
52:22 We will supply them with fruits and meats that they love.
52:23 They will enjoy drinks that are never polluted, and never sinful to drink.
52:24 Serving them will be servants like protected pearls.
52:25 They will meet each other and reminisce among themselves.
52:26 They will say, "We used to be kind and humble among our people.
52:27 "God has blessed us, and has spared us the agony of ill winds.
52:28 "We used to implore Him; He is the Most Kind, Most Merciful."
52:29 You shall remind the people. With your Lord's blessings upon you, you are neither a soothsayer, nor crazy.

Praise be to God
Job 36:24 ?Remember to magnify His work,
Of which men have sung.
25 Everyone has seen it;
Man looks on it from afar.
26 ?Behold, God is great, and we do not know Him;
Nor can the number of His years be discovered.
27 For He draws up drops of water,
Which distill as rain from the mist,
28 Which the clouds drop down
And pour abundantly on man.
29 Indeed, can anyone understand the spreading of clouds,
The thunder from His canopy?
30 Look, He scatters His light upon it,
And covers the depths of the sea.
31 For by these He judges the peoples;
He gives food in abundance.
32 He covers His hands with lightning,
And commands it to strike.
33 His thunder declares it,
The cattle also, concerning the rising storm.

Praise be to the Lord of the Universe.

Peace be upon you dear brothers and sisters,

Before we continue to the main content of this Divine Message I would like to reassure the hearts of those who are less familiar with the Previous Scriptures .

From the Quran we learn that we should also believe in the Previous Scriptures because they are containing Light and Guidance and specific details.

3:83 Are they seeking other than God's religion, when everything in the heavens and the earth has submitted to Him, willingly and unwillingly, and to Him they will be returned?
84 Say, "We believe in God, and in what was sent down to us, and in what was sent down to Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses, Jesus, and the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction among any of them. To Him alone we are submitters."
85 Anyone who accepts other than Submission as his religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter, he will be with the losers

In the Previous Scriptures we can find for example all the names of the brothers of Joseph, more about the Queen of Sheba, more details about Dhul Qarnain, more details about the Smoke Prophecy and the Big Stroke etc.
So for a better understanding of the Quran it is important to put some elements together to have more light on some subjetcs rather to stay in the darkness?

From the Quran we are not allowed to reject information without verifying it ..
17:36 You shall not accept any information, unless you verify it for yourself. I have given you the hearing, the eyesight, and the brain, and you are responsible for using them.

From the Quran we are not allowed to reject the Truth from the Previous Scriptures. 4:136 and 42:15
4:136 O you who believe, you shall believe in GOD and His messenger, and the scripture He has revealed through His messenger, AND THE SCRIPTURE HE HAS REVEALED BEFORE THAT. Anyone who refuses to believe in GOD, and His angels, and His scriptures, and His messengers, and the Last Day, has INDEED STRAYED FAR ASTRAY.

God Mentions in the Quran the names of some Prophets and this is Confirming to us that we can trust these sources ?
For Example: in the main content of this Message we have verses from the Book of John (YahYah), the Book of Enoch (Idris), the Psalms, the Gospel and the Torah which is confirmed in the Quran as Honorable Scriptures.

3:39 The angels called him when he was praying in the sanctuary: "GOD gives you good news of John; a believer in the word of GOD, honorable, moral, and a righteous prophet."

19:56 And mention in the scripture Idris (Enoch). He was a saint, a prophet.

4:163 We have inspired you, as we inspired Noah and the prophets after him. And we inspired Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob, the Patriarchs, Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon. And we gave David the Psalms.
5:66 If only they would uphold the TORAH AND THE GOSPEL, and what is sent DOWN TO THEM HEREIN from their Lord, they would be showered with blessings from above them and from beneath their feet. Some of them are righteous, but many of them are evildoers.

God has given us lessons throughout the Quran of how to recognize the Truth: Truth repeats itself in different parts in different books: the same way as there are many repeats in the Quran, there are also many repeats in the Previous Scriptures.

The devil has approximately polluted the Scriptures by 15%, but do not reject the other 85% because we will certainly be held acountable for rejecting this! The Devil Iblis did try his best to make people go stray away from God's Scriptures by adding pollution in the Previous Scriptures to discredit God's Words...Be aware and do not let him make you go Astray...

[6:112] We have permitted the enemies of every prophet - human and jinn devils - to inspire in each other fancy words, in order to deceive. Had your Lord willed, they would not have done it. You shall disregard them and their fabrications.

[6:113] This is to let the minds of those who do not believe in the Hereafter listen to such fabrications, and accept them, and thus expose their real convictions

With the correct references and a righteous soul, the truth will be recognized and you will believe that this is the truth of our Lord.
By keeping the above information in mind, our souls will be accesible for the truth. With a complete truth, we can better understand the importance of God's messengers and their messages in order for us to be able to accept a new messenger(s) in our current time and enjoy the blessings that comes with it. By accepting and following God's outlined path of certainty, there is a garantue for salvation and eternal succes close to God, both in this world and the Hereafter.

In this crucial, current time it is the decree of God that Son of Man, which is Dhul Qarnain, the chosen messenger to be among the people of this world.
In the following text, important information is provided to know and understand more about this messenger ruler, so we can recognize the truth and accept the truth. And sooner or later the world will know him and know that God's Promise is the only Truth.
Praise be to God! May God bless the true submitters.

Secret existence of Son of Man, revelead to the elect!
Enoch 48(I):3. Before the sun and the signs were created, before the stars of heaven were formed, his name was invoked in the presence of the Lord of spirits...
5. Therefore the Elect and the Concealed One existed in his presence, before the world was created, and for ever.
6. In his presence he existed, and has revealed to the saints and to the righteous the wisdom of the Lord of spirits; for he has preserved the lot of the righteous, because they have hated and rejected this world of iniquity, and have detested all its works and ways, in the name of the Lord of spirits.
7. For in his name shall they be preserved; and his will shall be their life.

Prophets prophecy about the coming of Son of Man
Quran 61:6 Recall that Jesus, son of Mary, said, "O Children of Israel, I am God's messenger to you, confirming the Torah and bringing good news of a messenger to come after me whose name will be even more praised Then, when he showed them the clear proofs, they said,"This is profound magic."

61:9 He has sent His messenger with the guidance and the true religion, and will make it dominate all religions, in spite of the idol worshipers.

Quran 9:32 They want to put out God's light with their mouths, but God insists upon perfecting His light, in spite of the disbelievers.
9:33 He is the One who sent His messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth, and will make it dominate all religions, in spite of the idolworshipers.

John 8:28 So Jesus said, ?Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
*The Greek for LIFTED UP also means PRAISED.

Enoch 69:1 After this the >name< of the Son of Man, living with the lord of spirits, was praised by the inhabitants of the earth.
2 It was praised in the chariots of the Spirit; and the name went forth in the midst of them.

Luke 17:22 Then He said to the disciples, ?The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.
23 And they will say to you, ?Look here!? or ?Look there!? Do not go after them or follow them.
24 For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day.
25 But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man

Psalms 132:11 The Lord has sworn in truth to David; He will not turn from it: ?I will set upon your throne the fruit of your body.

God promissed Son of Man and elect to be destined to dwell in God's Holy Land
Psalms 132:12 If your sons will keep My covenant And My testimony which I shall teach them, Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forevermore.?
13 For the Lord has CHOSEN ZION; He has desired it for His dwellingplace:
14 ?This is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
15 I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her poor withbread.
16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation, And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
17 There I will make the horn of David grow; I will prepare a lamp FOR MY ANOINTED.
18 His enemies I will clothe with shame, But upon Himself His crown shallflourish.?

Ezekiel 11:17 Therefore say, ?Thus says the Lord God: ?I will gather you from the peoples, assemble you from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.??
18 And they will go there, and they will take away all its detestable things and all its abominations from there.
19 Then I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them, and take the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh,
20 that they may walk in My statutes and keep My judgments and do them; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God.

Quran 21:105 We have decreed in the psalms, as well in other scriptures, that the earth shall be inherited by my righteous worshipers. 106 This is a proclamation for people who are worshipers.

Quran 40:51 Most assuredly, we will give victory to our messengers and to those who believe, both in this world and on the day the witnesses are summoned.

Miracle of the appearing of Son of Man
Matthew 24:30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to theother.

Quran 54:1 The Hour has come closer, and the moon has split.
54:2 Then they saw a miracle; but they turned away and said, "Old magic."

The seven pairs (7 seals+ 7 trumpets) & Great Quran given to Son of Man
Quran 15:87 We have given you THE SEVEN PAIRS, AND THE GREAT QURAN.
88 Do not be jealous of what we bestowed upon the other (messengers), and do not be saddened (by the disbelievers), and lower your wing for the believers.
89 And proclaim: "I AM THE MANIFEST... WARNER."
90 We will deal with the dividers.
91 They accept the QURAN ONLY PARTIALLY.

Quran 14:44 You shall....warn the people of the day WHEN THE RETRIBUTION COMES TO THEM. ...Those who transgressed will say, "OUR LORD, GIVE US ONE MORE RESPITE. We will then respond to Your call and follow the messengers." Did you not swear in the past that you will last forever?
45 YOU DWELLED IN THE HOMES OF THOSE BEFORE YOU, WHO WRONGED THEIR SOULS, and you have seen clearly what we did to them. We have set many precedents for you.
46 They schemed their schemes, and GOD is fully aware of their schemes. Indeed, their schemes were sufficient to erase mountains.

Revelation 5:5 But one of the elders said to me, ?Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah,
THE ROOT OF DAVID, HAS PREVAILED to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.?

Words destined to be said by Son of Man and note the term 'servants' being used confirming his status as a Messenger 'ruler'
Quran 39:10 Say, ''O My servants who believed, you shall reverence your Lord." For those who worked righteousness in this world, a good reward. GOD's earth is spacious, and those who steadfastly persevere will receive their recompense generously, without limits.
11 Say, "I have been commanded to worship GOD, devoting the religion absolutely to Him alone.
12 "And I was commanded to be the utmost submitter."
13 Say, "I fear, if I disobeyed my Lord, the retribution of a great day."

Quran 39:53 Proclaim: "O My servants who exceeded the limits, never despair of GOD's mercy. For GOD forgives all sins. He is the Forgiver, Most Merciful."
54 You shall obey your Lord, and submit to Him totally, before the retribution overtakes you; then you cannot be helped.
55 And follow the best path that is pointed out for you by your Lord, before the retribution overtakes you suddenly when you least expect it.
56 Lest a soul may say, "How sorry I am for disregarding GOD's commandments; I was certainly one of the mockers."

Son of Man receives Power, Riches, Wisdom, Strenghth, Honor, Glory and Blessing
Revelation 11:12 ...?Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing!?
13 ...?Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever!?

Quran 18:83 They ask you about Zul-Qarnain. Say, "I will narrate to you some of his history."
84 We granted him authority on earth, and provided him with all kinds of means.

God's Grace poured out on Son of Man
Isaiah 42:1 ?Behold! My Servant whom I uphold, My Elect One in whom My soul delights! I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.
2 He will not cry out, nor raise His voice, Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street.
3 A bruised reed He will not break, And smoking flax He will not quench; He will bring forth justice for truth.
4 He will not fail nor be discouraged, Till He has established justice in the earth; And the coastlands shall wait for His law.?

Enoch 60:10 Then the Lord of spirits seated upon the throne of his glory the Elect One;
11 Who shall judge all the works of the holy, in heaven above, and in a balance shall he weigh their actions. And when he shall lift up his countenance to judge their secret ways in the word of the name of the Lord of spirits, and their progress in the path of the righteous judgment of God most high;

Enoch 48(II):3 With him dwells the spirit of intellectual wisdom, the spirit of instruction and of power,and the spirit of those who sleep in righteousness; he shall judge secret things.
4 Nor shall any be able to utter a single word before him; for the Elect One is in the presence of the Lord of spirits, according to his own pleasure.

Enoch 50:3 And in those days shall the Elect One sit upon his throne, while every secret of intellectual wisdom shall proceed from his mouth; for the Lord of spirits has gifted and glorified him.

Enoch 46:2 ..This is the Son of man, to whom righteousness belongs; with whom righteousness has dwelt; and who will reveal al lthe treasures of that which is concealed: for the Lord of spirits has chosen him; and his portion has surpassed all before the Lord of spirits in everlasting uprightness.
3 This Son of man, whom thou beholdest, shall raise up kings and the mighty from their couches, and the powerful from their thrones; shall loosen the bridles of the powerful, and break in pieces the teeth of sinners.
4 He shall hurl kings from their thrones and their dominions; because they will not exalt and praise him, nor humble themselves before him, by whom their kingdoms were granted to them. The countenance likewise of the mighty shall He cast down, filling them with confusion. Darkness shall be their habitation, and worms shall be their bed; nor from that their bed shall they hope to be again raised, because they exalted not the name of the Lord of spirits.

Enoch 54:5. O ye kings,O ye mighty, who inhabit the world, you shall behold my Elect One, sitting upon the throne of my glory. And he shall judge Azazeel, all his associates, and all his hosts, in the name of the Lord of spirits.

Enoch 51:4 ..All these things which thou beholdest shall be for the dominion of the Messiah, that he may command, and be powerful upon earth.
5 And that angel of peace answered me, saying, Wait but a short time, and thou shalt understand, and every secret thing shall be revealed to thee, which the Lord of spirits has decreed. Those mountains which thou hast seen, the mountain of iron, the mountain of copper, the mountain of silver, the mountain of gold, the mountain of fluid metal, and the mountain of lead, all these in the presence of the Elect One shall be like a honeycomb before the fire, and like water descending from above upon these mountains; and shall become debilitated before his feet.

Enoch 48(I):3 ...A support shall he be for the righteous and the holy to lean upon, without falling; and he shall be the light of nations.
4. He shall be the hope of those whose hearts are troubled. All, who dwell on earth, shall fall down and worship before him; shall bless and glorify him, and sing praises to the name of the Lord of spirits.
7 ...In those days shall the kings of the earth and the mighty men, who have gained the world by their achievements, become humble in countenance.
8. For in the day of their anxiety and trouble their souls shall not be saved; and they shall be in subjection to those whom I have chosen.

Enoch 61:11 He shall sow the congregation of the saints,and of the elect; and all the elect shall stand before him in that day.
12. All the kings, the princes, the exalted, and those who rule over the earth, shall fall down on their faces before him, and shall worship him.
13. They shall fix their hopes on this Son of man, shall pray to him, and petition him for mercy.

The retributions of the major prophecies: the Smoke(5th trumpet) and Big Stroke (7th trumpet)
Quran 44:10 Therefore,watch for the day when the sky brings a profound smoke.
11 It will envelope the people; this is a painful retribution.

12 "Our Lord, relieve this retribution for us; we are believers."
15 We will relieve the retribution for a while; you will soon revert.
16 The day we strike the big stroke, we will avenge.

Jeremiah 16:10 ?And it shall be, when you show this people all these words, and they say to you, ?Why has the Lord pronounced all this great disaster against us? Or what is our iniquity? Or what is our sin that we have committed against the Lord our God? ?
11 then you shall say to them, ?Because your fathers have forsaken Me,? says the Lord; ?they have walked after other gods and have served them and worshiped them, and have forsaken Me and not kept My law.
12 And you have done worse than your fathers, for behold, each one follows the dictates of his own evil heart, so that no one listens to Me.
13 Therefore I will cast you out of this land into a land that you do not know, neither you nor your fathers; andthere you shall serve other gods day and night, where I will not show you favor.?

14 ?Therefore behold, the days are coming,? says the Lord, ?that it shall no more be said, ?The Lord lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,?
15 but, ?The Lord lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands where He had driven them. ?For I will bring them back into their land which I gave to their fathers.

Zephaniah 1:14 The great day of the Lord is near;It is near and hastens quickly. The noise of the day of the Lord is bitter; There the mighty men shall cry out.
15 That day is a day of wrath,A day of trouble and distress,A day of devastation and desolation,A day of darkness and gloominess,A day of clouds and thick darkness,
16 A day of trumpet and alarm Against the fortified cities And against the high towers.

Zephaniah 3:8 ?Therefore wait for Me,? says the Lord,?Until the day I rise up for plunder; My determination is to gather the nations To My assembly of kingdoms,To pour on them My indignation, All My fierce anger; All the earth shall be devoured With the fire of My jealousy.
9 ?For then I will restore to the peoples a pure language, That they all may call on the name of the Lord, To serve Him with one accord.

The elect believers are safe from the tribulations of the 7th seal and the 7 trumpets/bowls
Enoch 45:3 In that day shall the elect one sit upon a throne of glory; and shall choose their conditions and countless habitations, while their spirits within them shall be strengthened, when they behold my elect one, for those who have fled for protection to my holy and glorious name.
4 In that day I will cause my elect one to dwell in the midst of them; will change the face of heaven; will bless it, and illuminate it for ever.
5 I will also change the face of the earth, will bless it; and cause those whom I have elected to dwell upon it. But those who have committed sin and iniquity shall not inhabit it, for I have marked their proceedings. My righteous ones will I satisfy with peace, placing them before me; but the condemnation of sinners shall draw near, that I may destroy them from the face of the earth.

Zephaniah 3:14 Sing, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem!
15 The Lord has taken away your judgments, He has cast out your enemy. The King of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst; You shall see disaster no more.
16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: ?Do not fear; Zion, let not your hands be weak.
17 The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.?

Son of Man is with the elect believers forever
Enoch 61:16 The Lord of spirits shall remain over them:
17. And with this Son of man shall they dwell, eat, lie down, and rise up, for ever and ever.
18. The saints and the elect have arisen from the earth, have left off to depress their countenances, and have been clothed with the garment of life. That garment of life is with the Lord of spirits, in whose presence your garment shall not wax old, nor shall your glory diminish.

Quran 21:105 we read that it is decreed in the Psalms, aswell as in other scriptures, that the earth shall be inherited by God?s righteous worshipers.

Another major prophecy against Gog & Magog
Quran 57:25 We sent our messengers supported by clear proofs, and we sent down to them the scripture and the law, that the people may uphold justice. And we sent down the iron, wherein there is strength, and many benefits for the people. All this in order for God to distinguish those who would support Him and His messengers, on faith. God is Powerful, Almighty.

Quran 18:85 Then, he pursued one way.
86 When he reached the far west, he found the sun setting in a vast ocean, and found people there. We said, "O Zul-Qarnain, you can rule as you wish; either punish, or be kind to them."
87 He said, "As for those who transgress, we will punish them, then, when they return to their Lord, He will commit them to more retribution.
88 "As for those who believe and lead a righteous life, they receive a good reward; we will treat them kindly."
89 Then he pursued another way.
90 When he reached the far east, he found the sun rising on people who had nothing to shelter them from it.
91 Naturally, we were fully aware of everything he found out.92 He then pursued another way.
93 When he reached the valley between two palisades, he found people whose language was barely understandable.
94 They said, "O Zul-Qarnain, Gog and Magog are corruptors of the earth. Can we pay you to create a barrier between us and them?"
95 He said, "My Lord has given me great bounties. If you cooperate with me, I will build a dam between you and them.
96 "Bring to me masses of iron." Once he filled the gap between the two palisades, he said, "Blow." Once it was red hot, he said, "Help me pour tar on top of it."
97 Thus, they could not climb it, nor could they bore holes in it.
98 He said, "This is mercy from my Lord. When the prophecy of my Lord comes to pass, He will cause the dam to crumble. The prophecy of my Lord is truth."
99 At that time, we will let them invade with one another, then the horn will be blown, and we will summon them all together.

Ezekiel 38:1 Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 ?Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3 and say, ?Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal.
7 ?Prepare yourself and be ready, you and all your companies that are gathered about you; and be a guard for them.
8 After many days you will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate; they were brought out of the nations, and now all of them dwell safely.
9 You will ascend, coming like a storm, covering the land like a cloud, you and all your troops and many peoples with you.?
10 ?Thus says the Lord God: ?On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will make an evil plan:
11 You will say, ?I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; I will go to apeaceful people, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates??
12 to take plunder and to take booty, to stretch out your hand against the waste places that are again inhabited, and against a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock andgoods, who dwell in the midst of the land.

14 ?Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, ?Thus says the Lord God:?On that day when My people Israel dwell safely, will you not know it?
15 Then you will come from your place out of the far north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army.
16 You will come up against My people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land. It will be in the latter days that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me, when I am hallowed in you, O Gog, before their eyes.?

These reminders are the truth
James 3:13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works aredone in the meekness of wisdom.
14 But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.
15 This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.
16 For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.
18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

Quran 22:.54 Those who are blessed with knowledge will recognize the truth from your Lord, then believe in it, and their hearts will readily accept it. Most assuredly, God guides the believers in the right path.
55 As for those who disbelieve, they will continue to harbor doubts until the Hour comes to them suddenly, or until the retribution of a terrible day comes to them.

Quran 21:24 Have they found other gods beside Him? Say, "Show me your proof. This is the message to my generation, consummating all previous messages." Indeed, most of them do not recognize the truth; this is why they are so hostile.
25 We did not send any messenger before you except with the inspiration:"There is no god except Me; you shall worship Me alone."

Quran 13:19 Is one who recognizes that your Lord's revelations to you are the truth equal to one who is blind? Only those who possess intelligence will take heed.

Believe in God and one of His messengers of our time: Son of Man=Dhul Qarnain
Quran 57:7 Believe in God and His messenger, and give from what He has bestowed upon you. Those among you who believe and give (to charity) have deserved a great recompense.
8 Why should you not believe in God when the messenger is inviting you to believe in your Lord? He has taken a pledge from you, if you are believers.
9 He is the One who sends down to His servant clear revelations, in order to  lead you out of the darkness into the light. God is Compassionate towards you, Most Merciful.
10 Why do you not spend in the cause of God, when God possesses all wealth in the heavens and the earth? Distinguished from the rest are those among you who spend before the victory and strive. They attain a greater rank than those who spend after the victory and strive. For each, God promises salvation. God is Cognizant of everything you do.
11 Who would like to loan God a loan of righteousness, to have it multiplied for him manifold, and end up with a generous recompense?

Recognize and appreciate the truth from your Lord
Quran 22:54 Those who are blessed with knowledge will recognize the truth from your Lord, then believe in it, and their hearts will readily accept it. Most assuredly, God guides the believers in the right path.
72 When our revelations are recited to them, clearly, you recognize wickedness on the faces of those who disbelieve. They almost attack those who recite our revelations to them. Say, "Shall I inform you of something much worse? Hell is promised by God for those who disbelieve; what a miserable destiny."

Quran 23:68 Why do they not reflect upon this scripture? Do they not realize that they have received something never attained by their ancestors?
69 Have they failed to recognize their messenger? Is this why they are disregarding him?
70 Have they decided that he is crazy? Indeed, he has brought the truth to them, but most of them hate the truth.

May God guide us to the Truth and protect us from falling into disbelief after being believers.
#6
In many verses of the Quran and of the previous scripture we find the term 'the Children of Israel'. Untill this day the majority of believers have not completly understood who God is addressing to with this term.

After a careful study and meditation we are able to learn and to understand more about this.

It is important to study ALL of God's Scriptures, as long it is in the light of the Quran; the proven divine authorization of the Truth.  Read the note ''War on information'' for more detailed evidence.

Quran 27:76 This Quran settles many issues for the Children of Israel; issues that they are still disputing.

Prophet Jacob is Israel
Genesis 32:28 Then he said, ?Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed.?

Genenis 35:10 And God said to him, ?Your name is Jacob; no longer shall your name be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name.? So he called his name Israel.

Genesis 46:2 And God spoke to Israel in visions of the night and said, ?Jacob, Jacob.? And he said, ?Here I am.?

Genesis 49:2 ?Assemble and listen, O sons of Jacob, listen to Israel your father.

Quran 19:58 These are some of the prophets whom GOD blessed. They were chosen from among the descendants of Adam, and the descendants of those whom we carried with Noah, and the descendants of Abraham and Israel, and from among those whom we guided and selected. When the revelations of the Most Gracious are recited to them, they fall prostrate, weeping.

The Children of Israel are logicaly the descendants of Jacob.
Genesis 35:22-26
22 And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:
23 The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:
24 The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:
25 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:
26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid: Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padanaram.

Genesis 49:28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father spoke to them. And he blessed them; he blessed each one according to his own blessing.

The Children of Israel are the chosen people by God. God made a covenant with them. And as long as they kept their covenant God would bless them more than any other people with a position of honor and good provisions.

Quran 2:83 We made a covenant with the Children of Israel: "You shall not worship except God. You shall honor your parents and regard the relatives, the orphans, and the poor. You shall treat the people amicably. You shall observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat)." But you turned away, except a few of you, and you became averse.

Quran 5:12 God had taken a covenant from the Children of Israel, and we raised among them twelve patriarchs. And God said, "I am with you, so long as you observe the Contact Prayers (Salat), give the obligatory charity (Zakat), and believe in My messengers and respect them, and continue to lend God a loan of righteousness. I will then remit your sins, and admit you into gardens with flowing streams. Anyone who disbelieves after this, has indeed strayed off the right path."

Quran 45:16 We have given the Children of Israel the scripture, wisdom, and prophethood, and provided them with good provisions; we bestowed upon them more blessings than any other people.

Quran  2:40 O Children of Israel, remember My favor, which I bestowed upon you, and fulfill your part of the covenant, that I fulfill My part of the covenant, and reverence Me.
Quran  2:47 O Children of Israel, remember My favor which I bestowed upon you, and that I blessed you more than any other people.

It is decreed that The Childeren of Isael are destined to commit gross evil on earth twice.
Quran 17:2 Similarly, we gave Moses the scripture, and rendered it a beacon for the Children of Israel that: "You shall not set up any idol as a Lord and Master beside Me."
17:3 They are descendants of those whom we carried with Noah; he was an appreciative servant.
17:4 We addressed the Children of Israel in the scripture: "You will commit gross evil on earth, twice. You are destined to fall into great heights of arrogance.
17:5 "When the first time comes to pass, we will send against you servants of ours who possess great might, and they will invade your homes. This is a prophecy that must come to pass.
17:6 "Afterwards, we will give you a turn over them, and will supply you with a lot of wealth and children; we will give you the upper hand.
17:7 "If you work righteousness, you work righteousness for your own good, but if you commit evil you do so to your own detriment. Thus, when the second time comes to pass, they will defeat you and enter the masjid, just as they did the first time. They will wipe out all the gains you had accomplished."
17:8 Your Lord showers you with His mercy. But if you revert to transgression, we will counter with retribution. We have designated Gehenna as a final abode for the disbelievers.

Every time prophets and messengers went to them, such as Moses, Jesus, Mohamed, Rashad and many more, they only plunged deeper into aversion. The Children of Israel failed to keep their covenant, and just as decreed.
Quran 10:93 We have endowed the Children of Israel with a position of honor, and blessed them with good provisions. Yet, they disputed when this knowledge came to them. Your Lord will judge them on the Day of Resurrection regarding everything they disputed.

Quran 5:70 We have taken a covenant from the Children of Israel, and we sent to them messengers. Whenever a messenger went to them with anything they disliked, some of them they rejected, and some they killed.

Quran 23:44 Then we sent our messengers in succession. Every time a messenger went to his community, they disbelieved him. Consequently, we annihilated them, one after the other, and made them history. The people who disbelieved have perished.

Quran 35:42 They swore by God solemnly that if a warner went to them, they would be better guided than a certain congregation! However, now that the warner did come to them, this only plunged them deeper into aversion.

Quran 5:32.....Our messengers went to them with clear proofs and revelations, but most of them, after all this, are still transgressing.

Quran 28:56 You cannot guide the ones you love. God is the only One who guides in accordance with His will, and in accordance with His knowledge of those who deserve the guidance.

God had divided them into 12 tribal communities, each descendant of Jacob being the the head of the tribe. However they got scattered among other existing communties, as a consequence of failing to uphold God's command to enter the gate of the holy city humbly, together with the messengers.
Quran 7:160 We divided them into TWELVE TRIBAL COMMUNITIES, and we inspired Moses when his people asked him for water: "Strike the rock with your staff," whereupon twelve springs gushed out therefrom. Thus, each community knew its water. And we shaded them with clouds, and sent down to them manna and quails: "Eat from the good things we provided for you." It is not us that they wronged; it is they who wronged their own souls.

7:161 Recall that they were told, "GO INTO THIS TOWN TO LIVE, and eat therefrom as you please, treat the people amicably, and ENTER THE GATE HUMBLY. We will then forgive your transgressions. We will multiply the reward for the righteous."

7:162 But the evil ones among them substituted other commands for the commands given to them. Consequently, we sent upon them CONDEMNATION FROM THE SKY, because of their wickedness.

7:165 When they disregarded what they were reminded of, we saved those who prohibited evil, and afflicted the wrongdoers with a terrible retribution for their wickedness.

7:166 When they continued to defy the commandments, we said to them, "Be you despicable apes."

7:167 Additionally, your Lord has decreed that He will raise up AGAINST THEM PEOPLE WHO WILL INFLICT SEVERE PERSECUTION UPON THEM, UNTIL THE DAY OF RESURRECTION. Your Lord is most efficient in enforcing retribution, and He is certainly the Forgiver, Most Merciful.

The Childeren of Israel are being spread out throughout the land, and only the true believers who will uphold God's covenant, will be able to return back to the holy land; Jersulem.
Quran 7:168 We SCATTERED THEM AMONG MANY COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE LAND. Some of them were righteous, and some were less than righteous. We tested them with prosperity and hardship, that they may return.

7:169 Subsequent to them, He substituted new generations who inherited the scripture. But they opted for the worldly life instead, saying, "We will be forgiven." But then they continued to opt for the materials of this world. Did they not make a covenant to uphold the scripture, and not to say about GOD except the truth? Did they not study the scripture? Certainly, the abode of the Hereafter is far better for those who maintain righteousness. Do you not understand?

7:170 Those who uphold the scripture, and observe the Contact Prayers (Salat), we never fail to recompense the pious.

The people of this current time who are given the Final Book: The Quran, are walking in the same footsteps as their forefathers. They are not and are not able to uphold the covenant of God, as God's prohecy must be fulfiled. Praise be to God!
Quran 42:13 He decreed for you the same religion decreed for Noah, and what we inspired to you, and what we decreed for Abraham, Moses, and Jesus: "You shall uphold this one religion, and do not divide it." The idol worshipers will greatly resent what you invite them to do. God redeems to Himself whomever He wills; He guides to Himself only those who totally submit.

42:14 Ironically, they broke up into sects only after the knowledge had come to them, due to jealousy and resentment among themselves. If it were not for a predetermined decision from your Lord to respite them for a definite interim, they would have been judged immediately. Indeed, the later generations who inherited the scripture are full of doubts.

God replaces the disbelievers with people who are even better guided.
Quran 4:133 If He wills, He can annihilate you, O people, and substitute others in your place. God is certainly able to do this.

Quran 5:54 O you who believe, if you revert from your religion, then God will substitute in your place people whom He loves and who love Him. They will be kind with the believers, stern with the disbelievers, and will strive in the cause of God without fear of any blame. Such is God's blessing; He bestows it upon whomever He wills. God is Bounteous, Omniscient.

Quran 6:6 Have they not seen how many generations before them we have annihilated? We established them on earth more than we did for you, and we showered them with blessings, generously, and we provided them with flowing streams. We then annihilated them because of their sins, and we substituted another generation in their place.

Quran 6:89 Those were the ones to whom we have given the scripture, wisdom, and prophethood. If these people disbelieve, we will substitute others in their place, and the new people will not be disbelievers.

The TRUE religion of Submission will dominate all religions!
Quran 9:32 They want to put out God's light with their mouths, but God insists upon perfecting His light, in spite of the disbelievers.
9:33 He is the One who sent His messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth, and will make it dominate all religions, in spite of the idol worshipers.

God has given us all these lessons, so that we may take heed in the current time that we are living in.
Quran 10:13 Many a generation we have annihilated before you when they transgressed. Their messengers went to them with clear proofs, but they refused to believe. We thus requite the guilty people.
10:14Then we made YOU INHERITORS OF THE EARTH after them, to see how you will do.

Quran 21:105 We have DECREED IN THE PSALMS, AS WELL AS IN OTHER SCRIPTURES, that the earth SHALL BE INHERITED BY MY RIGHTEOUS WORSHIPERS.
21:106 This is a proclamation for people who are worshipers.

Who are the righteous worshippers?
These are the ones that are descendants of the former Children of Israel, that are scattered throughout the world, and they are most righteous. They are the elect believers,the elite of the elite, who deserve to inherit the earth and will be brought back to Jerusalem.

These righteous worshippers are the ones who uphold their covenant with God. True believers are always in the minority, And the elite of the elite will be only a few of our current and future generations untill the end of the world (the year 2280).

Quran 56:10 Then there is the elite of the elite.
56:11 They are those who will be closest (to God).
56:12 In the gardens of bliss.
56:13 Many from the first generations.
56:14 Few from the later generations.

They are 144.000 believers among the Children of Israel.
Revelation 7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses* were sealed twelve thousand.
7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
*As we can see in Genesis 49, only the names of Jacob's 12 sons are the names of the 12 tribal communities. Thus the name of Manasses should be Dan.

The gathering of 144.000
Before the true religion of Submision will prevail on earth, many other prophecies and events must occur, just as God has decreed.

For a detailed document about these prophecies and events, please read the note ''One God, One Message, God's Kingdom is near...'',and the note ''Do you wish to live in certainty?''

In summary it is about the following:
- the extreme nature events/disasters
- The seven seals
- The seven trumpets/bowls, which includes the great phropecy of the Smoke and the big stroke
- The coming of the messenger ruler: Son of Man/Lamb/Dhul Qarnain. He is not Jesus as many people are claming, as Jesus is of the tribe of Levi, but the coming Son of Man is of the tribe of Juda, descendant of David ... ( See the note '' Will Jesus return? '' for more detailed information)
- The phropecy of Gog & Magog and the iron wall
- The establishig of God's Kingdom where the messenger ruler will be the appointend King to rule over all nations, and will be living among the 144.000 believers
- and many more details

The Son of Man, the elect believers and the chosen holy land by God; The city of Jerusalem
Revelation 12: 1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of TWELVE STARS.
2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.

5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

God speaks here, as many other times, in allegory. A woman represents the chosen elect believers. The child is the Son of Man. The twelve stars represent the 12 leaders (apostles) of the 12 tribal communities that are brought back together. The fact that it is compared to the pains of labor is resprsenting the intensity of the hardship and difficulties; thus the test; it will bring along.

In the following the seven angels with the seven bowls are explained in the other note. Here the Lamb's wife is representing the holy city of Jerusalem. The twelse apostles mentioned here are the 12 leaders of each tribal community that are appointed as the 12 apostles of the Son of man; they are submessengers.

Revelations 21:9 Then one of the SEVEN ANGELS WHO HAD THE SEVEN BOWLS FILLED WITH THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES came to me and talked with me, saying, ?Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb?s wife.?
10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
11 having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.
12 Also she had a great and high wall with TWELVE GATES, AND TWELVE ANGELS AT THE GATES, and names written on them, which are THE NAMES OF THE TWELVE TRIBES OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL:
13 three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.
14 Now the wall of the city had TWELVE FOUNDATIONS, and on them were the names of the TWELVE APOSTLES of the Lamb.

As God said in the Quran that even in the Psalms it is decreed that the earth SHALL BE INHERITED BY GOD'S RIGHTEOUS WORSHIPERS.
Psalm 18
43 You have delivered me from the strivings of the people;
YOU HAVE MADE ME THE HEAD OF THE NATIONS;
A people I have not known shall serve me.
44 As soon as they hear of me they obey me;
The foreigners submit to me.
45 The foreigners fade away,
And come frightened from their hideouts.
46 The Lord lives!
Blessed be my Rock!
Let the God of my salvation be exalted.
47 It is God who avenges me,
And subdues the peoples under me;
48 He delivers me from my enemies.
You also lift me up above those who rise against me;
You have delivered me from the violent man.
49 Therefore I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the Gentiles,
And sing praises to Your name.
50 Great deliverance He gives to His king,
And shows mercy TO HIS ANOINTED,
TO DAVID AND HIS DESCENDANTS FOREVERMORE.

Quran 34:12 To Solomon we committed the wind at his disposal, traveling one month coming and one month going. And we caused a spring of oil to gush out for him. Also, the jinns worked for him, by his Lord's leave. Any one of them who disregarded our commands, we subjected him to a severe retribution.
34:13 They made for him anything he wanted - niches, statues, deep pools, and heavy cooking pots. O FAMILY OF DAVID, work (righteousness) to show your appreciation. ONLY A FEW of My servants are appreciative.

We understand that King David, his son Solomon were people that were chosen by God to be Kings and rulers on earth. So it will be the same for the Son of man. He is from the root of David and will soon be the King by God's leave, despite what the enemies will say or do. Praise be to God!

To read more detailed information about the Son of Man in the Quran, please read the note ''Who is Son of Man/Dhul Qarnain? ''

May God increase our knowledge and inspire each other to recognize the truth in everything. Peace be upon you!

We pray for your guidance in all that you do.
We know you do the same and pray for us too.
We thank God for His Mercy and for His full support.
'All praise belongs to You, our Most High, Almighty Lord' "


Peace be upon you brothers and sisters,

Before we go to the main theme of this Message, I would like to reassure you that the true believers do not need to fear anything except God, even when they find themselves in life-threatening situations. They deserve the "perfect security". If you are a true believer, why would God punish you with extreme pain of letting you tasting the second death?

I would also like to invite you to see, despite all kinds of censorship and veils, what is happening in the current state of the world by opening your hearts' vision.

By wanting to escape fear and to avoid unpleasant situations, it could lead us to become followers of Satan, as 'fear' is one of his tools. It is righteous to place courage before our fears, in order to come closer to God.

God has given us concrete examples in Surah 26, as "lessons" for future generations to whom similar situations will be occurring again.

[26:105] The people of Noah disbelieved the messengers.
[26:106] Their brother Noah said to them, "Would you not be righteous?
[26:107] "I am an honest messenger to you.
[26:108] "You shall reverence GOD and obey me.
[26:109] "I do not ask you for any wage. My wage comes from the Lord of the universe.
[26:110] "You shall reverence GOD and obey me."


[26:111] They said, "How can we believe with you,
when the worst among us have followed you?"
[26:112] He said, "How do I know what they did?
[26:113] "Their judgment rests only with my Lord, if you could perceive.
[26:114] "I will never dismiss the believers.
[26:115] "I am no more than a clarifying warner."
[26:116] They said, "Unless you refrain, O Noah, you will be stoned."
[26:117] He said, "My Lord, my people have disbelieved me.
[26:118] "Grant me victory against them, and deliver me and my company of believers."
[26:119] We delivered him and those who accompanied him in the loaded ark.
[26:120] Then we drowned the others.

[26:121] This should be a lesson, but most people are not believers.
[26:122] Most assuredly, your Lord is the Almighty, Most Merciful.

[26:123] `Aad disbelieved the messengers.
[26:124] Their brother Hood said to them, "Would you not be righteous?
[26:125] "I am an honest messenger to you.
[26:126] "You shall reverence GOD, and obey me.
[26:127] "I do not ask you for any wage; my wage comes from the Lord of the universe.


[26:128] "You build on every hill a mansion for vanity's sake.
[26:129] "You set up buildings as if you last forever.
[26:130] "And when you strike, you strike mercilessly.
[26:131] "You shall reverence GOD and obey me.
[26:132] "Reverence the One who provided you with all the things you know.
[26:133] "He provided you with livestock and children.
[26:134] "And gardens and springs.
[26:135] "I fear for you the retribution of an awesome day."
[26:136] They said, "It is the same whether you preach, or do not preach.
[26:137] "That affliction was limited to our ancestors.
[26:138] "No retribution will ever befall us."

[26:139] They thus disbelieved and, consequently, we annihilated them.
This should be a lesson, but most people are not believers.
[26:140] Most assuredly, your Lord is the Almighty, Most Merciful.

[26:141] Thamoud disbelieved the messengers.
[26:142] Their brother Saaleh said to them, "Would you not be righteous?
[26:143] "I am an honest messenger to you.
[26:144] "You shall reverence GOD, and obey me.
[26:145] "I do not ask you for any wage; my wage comes only from the Lord of the universe.


[26:146] "Do you suppose you will be left forever, secure in this state?
[26:147] "You enjoy gardens and springs.
[26:148] "And crops and date palms with delicious fruits.
[26:149] "You carve out of the mountains luxurious mansions.
[26:150] "You shall reverence GOD, and obey me.
[26:151] "Do not obey the transgressors.
[26:152] "Who commit evil, not good works."
[26:153] They said, "You are bewitched.
[26:154] "You are no more than a human like us. Produce a miracle, if you are truthful."
[26:155] He said, "Here is a camel that will drink only on a day that is assigned to her; a day that is different from your specified days of drinking.
[26:156] "Do not touch her with any harm, lest you incur retribution on an awesome day."
[26:157] They slaughtered her, and thus incurred sorrow.

[26:158] The retribution overwhelmed them.
This should be a lesson, but most people are not believers.
[26:159] Most assuredly, your Lord is the Almighty, Most Merciful.

[26:160] The people of Lot disbelieved the messengers.
[26:161] Their brother Lot said to them, "Would you not be righteous?
[26:162] "I am an honest messenger to you.
[26:163] "You shall reverence GOD, and obey me.
[26:164] "I do not ask you for any wage; my wage comes only from the Lord of the universe.


[26:165] "Do you have sex with the males, of all the people?
[26:166] "You forsake the wives that your Lord has created for you!
Indeed, you are transgressing people."
[26:167] They said, "Unless you refrain, O Lot, you will be banished."
[26:168] He said, "I deplore your actions."
[26:169] "My Lord, save me and my family from their works."
[26:170] We saved him and all his family.
[26:171] But not the old woman; she was doomed.
[26:172] We then destroyed the others.
[26:173] We showered them with a miserable shower;
what a terrible shower for those who had been warned!

[26:174] This should be a lesson, but most people are not believers.
[26:175] Most assuredly, your Lord is the Almighty, Most Merciful.

[26:176] The People of the Woods disbelieved the messengers.
[26:177] Shu`aib said to them, "Would you not be righteous?
[26:178] "I am an honest messenger to you.
[26:179] "You shall reverence GOD, and obey me.
[26:180] "I do not ask you for any wage; my wage comes only from the Lord of the universe.


[26:181] "You shall give full measure when you trade; do not cheat.
[26:182] "You shall weigh with an equitable scale.
[26:183] "Do not cheat the people out of their rights, and do not roam the earth corruptingly.
[26:184] "Reverence the One who created you and the previous generations."
[26:185] They said, "You are bewitched.
[26:186] "You are no more than a human being like us. In fact, we think you are a liar.
[26:187] "Let masses from the sky fall on us, if you are truthful."
[26:188] He said, "My Lord is the One who knows everything you do."
[26:189] They disbelieved him and, consequently, they incurred the retribution of the Day of the Canopy. It was the retribution of an awesome day.

[26:190] This should be a lesson, but most people are not believers.
[26:191] Most assuredly, your Lord is the Almighty, Most Merciful.

[26:201] Thus, they cannot believe in it; not until they see the painful retribution.
[26:202] It will come to them suddenly, when they least expect it.
[26:203] They will then say, "Can we have a respite?"
[26:204] Did they not challenge our retribution?


[26:205] As you see, we allowed them to enjoy for years.
[26:206] Then the retribution came to them, just as promised.
[26:207] Their vast resources did not help them in the least.


Noah, Hood, Saleeh, Lot, Shu'aib were God's messengers as well "warners". In different periods in history they warned the people of their time about a coming retribution, together with given signs in their topicality and God's words.

The majority of them were considered as "fear mongers" and they had all sorts of arguments to ignore God's words. In stead they looked to pointing fingers, to point out that the messengers were only humans, 'to the extend that' they forgot about God...

After the enumaration of the messengers/warners in Surah 26, God also gives us a conclusion, from verses 208 untill 212. So we can see that if God would pusnish a "community" again in the future, He will again send messengers/warners who have access to the essence of His Message. God's enemies among men and Jinn will be kept deaf and blind by God.


[26:208] We never annihilate any community without sending warners.
[26:209] Therefore, this is a reminder, for we are never unjust.

[26:210] The devils can never reveal this.
[26:211] They neither would, nor could.
[26:212] For they are prevented from hearing.



Dear brothers and sisters, please take a moment to reflect on yourselves God willing.

Is it not true that with time, the routine of our daily lifes, our careers, the houses, the relationships we have built, the wealth that we have, our reputations, the future plans we have for ourselves and our children, have taken place in our hearts, in such a way that we can not accept that all of this can come to a sudden end?
Is this not exaclty the fact that can blind and stun us for God's Signs?


[2:266] Does any of you wish to own a garden of palm trees and grapes, with flowing streams and generous crops, then, just as he grows old, and while his children are still dependent on him, a holocaust strikes and burns up his garden? GOD thus clarifies the revelations for you, that you may reflect.

[10:24] The analogy of this worldly life is like this: we send down water from the sky to produce with it all kinds of plants from the earth, and to provide food for the people and the animals. Then, just as the earth is perfectly adorned, and its people think that they are in control thereof, our judgment comes by night or by day,* leaving it completely barren, as if nothing existed the previous day. We thus explain the revelations for people who reflect.


Thus, if God would send messengers/warners again, together with Signs and details of the scriptures we must first restore God's Glory by purifying our hearts for Him by removing obvious and hidden idols to which and whom we are attached.

If this happens, then we are able to clearly see and observe everything around us and observe what kind of Signs God is sending. And we will get access to the scriptures to recognize these Signs.

Respectfully, I invite you brothers and sisters to be brave and to try to understand what is happening in the actualities of "Todays communities". And in addition to see the similarities they have with the 'Past communities', for which they got punished.

What were the given Signs of the "Past communities" before they got annihilated?

Are there similar Signs, for which "Todays communities" should be alert?

When we read the the Quran again, we can see, for example, in the verses of Moses, that he was accompanied by several Signs when he was being sent by God to Pharaoh and his people.


[7:103] After (those messengers,) we sent Moses with our signs to Pharaoh and his people, but they transgressed. Note the consequences for the wicked.

[7:133] Consequently, we sent upon them the flood, the locusts, the lice, the frogs, and the blood - profound signs. But they maintained their arrogance. They were evil people.


We thus can see that  "flood, locusts, lice, frogs, and blood", these occurrences such as extreme weather events and plagues, were presented by God as Signs.

Another explicit example God has given us in verse 3:117, is about how God punished the transgressing people by "violent winds" as a consequence of their evil deeds.



[3:117] The example of their accomplishments in this life is like a violent wind that hits the harvest of people who have wronged their souls, and wipes it out. GOD never wronged them; it is they who wronged themselves.


Furthermore, we also see that God's retribution may include earthquakes, "sinkholes" and drownings by floods and He mentions this in the Quran so that we can recognize these as Signs for "Todays Communities".

[29:39] Also Qaaroon, Pharaoh, and Hamaan; Moses went to them with clear signs. But they continued to commit tyranny on earth. Consequently, they could not evade (the retribution).

[29:40] All those disbelievers were doomed as a consequence of their sins. Some of them we annihilated by violent winds, some were annihilated by the quake, some we caused the earth to swallow, and some we drowned. GOD is not the One who wronged them; it is they who wronged their own souls.

Would we not misinterpret God's Signs if we would react the same as 'Aad's people'?

[46:24] When they saw the storm heading their way, they said, "This storm will bring to us much needed rain."
Instead, this is what you challenged (Hood) to bring; violent wind wherein there is painful retribution.

[51:41] In `Aad (there is a lesson). We sent upon them disastrous wind.



Is it a good idea to banalize the similar "extreme weather events" of today and to risk its consequences just as our forefathers?

In fact it is a "Huge Blessing in Disguise" for the minority of people that, due to their sincerity, have access to the essence of the truth. And they realize that the Evil transgressors of "today's communities"  are facing the same fate as that of the "past communities'. And they accept in "total submission" what God Has Predetermined.

[10:2] Is it too much of a wonder for the people that we inspired a man like them? He (was inspired to say), "You shall warn the people, and give good news to those who believe that they have attained a position of prominence at their Lord." The disbelievers said, "This is a clever magician!"

The minority realizes that if they believe in the Signs and Warnings (despite accompanied by adversity and hardship) that they have the opportunity to earn a certain eternal position close to God.


[10:6] Surely, in the alternation of night and day, and what GOD created in the heavens and the earth, there are proofs for people who are righteous.

Let's take a look at a fragment in which Rashad Khalifa around 1988 had stated 50 years from that date, the true believers will be souvereigns on earth and that God's promise wil surely become true. In the year 2014 there has already 26 years passed...

At the 4th minute and 16th second InshAllah ...

[24:55] GOD promises those among you who believe and lead a righteous life, that He will make them sovereigns on earth, as He did for those before them, and will establish for them the religion He has chosen for them, and will substitute peace and security for them in place of fear. All this because they worship Me alone; they never set up any idols beside Me. Those who disbelieve after this are the truly wicked.


Absolutely, just as as God mentions to us in the Quran, the true religion will dominate, as Rashad Khalifa is indicating that it will happen with absolute certainty within 50 years from +/- 1988, when he spoke these words in the movie. So true submitters only have the possibility to believe in this Quranic fact as they claim to be believers.

God is about to punish the transgressing people of today, to let the earth eventually be inherited by His righteous believers.

For those who still have their doubts after watching the first video, there is a second video in which Rashad Khalifa stated the same thing. And he uses the term "definite" : God's Kingdom will come in the coming 20 to 40 years and the whole world will recognize it,  God's true religion will dominate and God Keeps His Promise!

Rashad Khalifa mentions that in the 1st minute of the second video:

The Great Prophecy

[61:9] He has sent His messenger with the guidance and the true religion, and will make it dominate all religions, in spite of the idol worshipers.

The Best Deal

[61:10] O you who believe, let Me inform you of a trade that will save you from painful retribution.
[61:11] Believe in GOD and His messenger and strive in the cause of GOD with your money and your lives. This is the best deal for you, if you only knew.
[61:12] In return, He forgives your sins, and admits you into gardens with flowing streams, with beautiful mansions in the gardens of Eden. This is the greatest triumph.
[61:13] Additionally, you get something you truly love: support from GOD and guaranteed victory. Give good news to the believers.

Let us also analyze the transgressions of ''Today's communities" and conclude that they are almost identical or even worse than the transgressions of past communities for which they were punished!

Here is a summary and comparison of today, just like in the past:
  - Many forms of perversity widespread and well documented
  - Homosexuality that is being legalized in many countries is a powerful sign, which led to the annihilation of Lot's people
  - Massive corruption everywhere in the world that reaches extremes and is still increasing,
- The injustice that is dominating in the world,
- Usury that leads to continental masses of debts
  - Idol worship in many forms and guises, had also led to the annihilation of many previous transgressing nations
  - Oppression and exploitation of the weak, with extreme poverty as result.
  - Many false christs and messengers that are even mentioned in the mainstream media(eg ... - after Ariel Sharon ) 
- And many more! ...

How much more transgression can we tolerate before we realize that it is time for God's kingdom to be established on earth? Do we want to see more transgression like the criminals or do we want to put an end to all these evil practices?

Do you also see that the next verse illustrates perfectly that it is a logical consequence of the above mentioned facts? ...

[17:58] There is not a community that we will not annihilate before the Day of Resurrection, or inflict severe retribution upon them. This is already written down in the book.

*[10:101] Say, "Look at all the signs in the heavens and the earth."
All the proofs and all the warnings can never help people who decided to disbelieve.
[10:102] Can they expect other than the fate of their counterparts in the past? Say, "Just wait, and, along with you, I am also waiting."

Guaranteed Victory

[10:103] We ultimately save our messengers and those who believe. It is our immutable law that we save the believers.


* Signs we see today in the natural environment:
- Record breaking "extreme weather events" such as tornadoes, typhoons, (violent winds)
- Huge numbers of volcanoes that are active again with enormous strength
- Earthquakes - swarms in various places in the world
- The same goes for "sinkholes"; large pieces of land that suddenly sinks and swallows a lot of buildings, vehicles and even people
- Extreme temperatures (record-breaking); freezing conditions in unusual places and extreme heat on others
- Large amounts of snow in different places and rain with flooding in others
- Also Signs from space: anomalies on planets in our solar system with an example of a storm on Saturn that lasted since 2009 until today

It is best that we also realize that we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg. In reality, there are also events that escape our attention by the unprecedented censorship of the mainstream media.

God's system does not change, since the beginning everything that has happened here on earth is a continuous recurrence, where everytime the Evil communities are admitted to reach a particular peak in their transgressions, in order to be inflicted by retribution and annihilation, as a consequence thereof.


[35:42] They swore by GOD solemnly that if a warner went to them, they would be better guided than a certain congregation! However, now that the warner did come to them, this only plunged them deeper into aversion.

[35:43] They resorted to arrogance on earth, and evil scheming, and the evil schemes only backfire on those who scheme them. Should they then expect anything but the fate of those who did the same things in the past?
You will find that GOD's system is never changeable; you will find that GOD's system is immutable.

[35:44] Have they not roamed the earth and noted the consequences for those who preceded them? They were even stronger than they. Nothing can be hidden from GOD in the heavens, nor on earth. He is Omniscient, Omnipotent.
[35:45] If GOD punished the people for their sins, He would not leave a single creature on earth. But He respites them for a predetermined interim. Once their interim is fulfilled, then GOD is Seer of His servants.


Again does God let the earth be inherited by a minority faithful believers, to see how they will do.

[7:56] Do not corrupt the earth after it has been set straight, and worship Him out of reverence, and out of hope. Surely, GOD's mercy is attainable by the righteous.

Again the people will get another invitation to a prominent position close to God, and this will be rejected by the majority.

[21:105] We have decreed in the Psalms, as well as in other scriptures, that the earth shall be inherited by My righteous worshipers.
[21:106] This is a proclamation for people who are worshipers.


His door is open ...

Which one of you wishes with courage and determination to accept His Invitation, despite the additional difficulties, to be a part of God's Kingdom on earth?


May God Guide you, Peace be upon you!

Qur'an 6:82 Those who believe, and do not pollute their belief with idol worship, have deserved the perfect security, and they are truly guided.

From the lessons that we have been given in the Bible and the Qur'an, there is the well-known story about Abraham how he was thrown into a burning fire for advocating his Monotheistic beliefs, without any fear. But God did not deliver him into the hands of his enemies; He saved him in a miraculous manner, by causing the fire to become cool and safe. A less known, but almost similar story to this is the story about three young Jews who refused to obey an unjust order of King Nebuchadnezzar and to worship his statue.

Here are some verses of Daniel chapter 3:

4 Then a herald cried aloud: ?To you it is commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages,
5 that at the time you hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, and psaltery, in symphony with all kinds of music, you shall fall down and worship the gold image that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up;
6 and whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast immediately into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.?

At that time everybody came together; the prefects, the governors, the advisers, the treasurers, the lawyers, the judges and all the rulers of the provinces. They gathered and worshiped the statue of the King.

However, some of the Kings's astrologists went to him to inform him about 3 men among his Jewish servants, the men of Judah, who refused to worship the statue. The King became angry and called his young men, and here is what they answered the King:

17 If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king.
18 But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.?...21 Then these men were bound in their coats, their trousers, their turbans, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.

22 Therefore, because the king?s command was urgent, and the furnace exceedingly hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego.
...
24 Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished; and he rose in haste and spoke, saying to his counselors, ?Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?? They answered and said to the king, ?True, O king.?

25 ?Look!? he answered, ?I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.?
Here, the fourth person is an angel which intervened to save them from the flames.

26 Then Nebuchadnezzar went near the mouth of the burning fiery furnace and spoke, saying, ?Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, servants of the Most High God, come out, and come here.? Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego came from the midst of the fire.

28 Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying, ?Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who sent His Angel and delivered His servants who trusted in Him, and they have frustrated the king?s word, and yielded their bodies, that they should not serve nor worship any god except their own God!
29 Therefore I make a decree that any people, nation, or language which speaks anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made an ash heap; because there is no other God who can deliver like this.?
30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego in the province of Babylon.

Here we have a great lesson since the tyrannical king, who did not hesitate to order one of the worst enormities, namely idolatry, submitted himself and recognized the infinite power of the Almighty! Praise be to God, the One True God worthy of worship!

In fact, believers who fear God and follow His commandments are a good example and thus they invite to the path of God. In contrary to the sinful act of setting a bad example and then repelling people from the path of God by their behavior. And that is strongly condemned by God:

Qur'an 16:94 Do not abuse the oaths among you, lest you slide back after having a strong foothold, then you incur misery. Such is the consequence of repelling from the path of GOD *you incur a terrible retribution.
*(by setting a bad example)

In chapter 6 of the book of Daniel, Daniel the prophet was saved by God from the claws of the lions.

The prophet Daniel himself who was facing the King's decree for not worshipping anyone but him for 30 days, Daniel maintained his worship to God alone. For this reason, he was thrown into the den of lions. In fact the King's decree was the result of a conspiracy on behalf of his subordinates, where Daniel's elevated status and the King's jeaoulosy towards him, drove them to seek an excuse to execute Daniel.

Here are some verses from Daniel chapter 6:

3 Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the governors and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king gave thought to setting him over the whole realm.
4 So the governors and satraps sought to find some charge against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find no charge or fault, because he was faithful; nor was there any error or fault found in him.
5 Then these men said, ?We shall not find any charge against this Daniel unless we find it against him concerning the law of his God.?
6 So these governors and satraps thronged before the king, and said thus to him: ?King Darius, live forever!
7 All the governors of the kingdom, the administrators and satraps, the counselors and advisors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute and to make a firm decree, that whoever petitions any god or man for thirty days, except you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.
8 Now, O king, establish the decree and sign the writing, so that it cannot be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which does not alter.?
9 Therefore King Darius signed the written decree.
10Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.
11 Then these men assembled and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.
12 And they went before the king, and spoke concerning the king?s decree: ?Have you not signed a decree that every man who petitions any god or man within thirty days, except you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions??

The king answered and said, ?The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which does not alter.?
13 So they answered and said before the king, ?That Daniel, who is one of the captives from Judah, does not show due regard for you, O king, or for the decree that you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day.?
14 And the king, when he heard these words, was greatly displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him; and he labored till the going down of the sun to deliver him.
15 Then these men approached the king, and said to the king, ?Know, O king, that it is the law of the Medes and Persians that no decree or statute which the king establishes may be changed.?
16 So the king gave the command, and they brought Daniel and cast him into the den of lions. But the king spoke, saying to Daniel, ?Your God, whom you serve continually, He will deliver you.?
17 Then a stone was brought and laid on the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the signets of his lords, that the purpose concerning Daniel might not be changed.
18 Now the king went to his palace and spent the night fasting; and no musicians were brought before him. Also his sleep went from him.
19 Then the king arose very early in the morning and went in haste to the den of lions.
20 And when he came to the den, he cried out with a lamenting voice to Daniel. The king spoke, saying to Daniel, ?Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lions??
21 Then Daniel said to the king, ?O king, live forever!
22 My God sent His angel and shut the lions? mouths, so that they have not hurt me, because I was found innocent before Him; and also, O king, I have done no wrong before you.?
23 Now the king was exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no injury whatever was found on him, because he believed in his God.

Again, this is a great lesson that God offers us through this story. Believers will fear no evil, if they maintain their devotion to Him alone, He will not allow the disbelievers to prevail over the believers! Glory be to God, the Only worthy of worship!

Qur'an 47:7 O you who believe, if you support GOD, He will support you, and strengthen your foothold.

God, being the source of all righteousness, has set for us His standards of who a righteous is.  Praise be to God alone!

God has explained in Quran that righteousness is not only required  for salvation but it is also is a condition for accepting our repentance and forgiving & remitting our sins. It is also the criterion that distinguishes among all people.

By upholding God's teachings in His fully detailed scripture and following His examples of righteousness will fulfill His expectations and represent the REAL righteousness for us.

Standards of the righteous:
- They believe in God
- They believe in the Last Day
- They believe in all the scriptures
- They believe in the prophets and messengers
- They observe the Contact Prayers
- They give the obligatory charity
- They fast during Ramadan
- They observe the pilgrimage and do not violate the commands thereof
- They never pollute their souls with idol worship or hypocrisy
- They avoid all gross sins
- They eat from the lawful food
- They give the money cheerfully, to the relatives, the orphans, the needy, the traveling alien, the beggars, and to free the slaves
- They keep their word whenever they make a promise
- They steadfastly persevere in the face of persecution, hardship, and war
- They honor their parents
- They are trustworthy
- They are just and honest when they judge among people or when they offer a testimony
- They uphold God's laws when they resolve any kind of disputes
- They avoid bad language except for when they react to aggression
- They are equitable even in self defense situations
- They treat people with kindness and respect
- They stand for their rights when they face injustice
- They proclaim and promote God's truth and they never conceal it or compromise it
- They verify information and investigate rumors
- They avoid harmful suspicion, spying and backbiting
- They do not commit or appreciate any kind of corruption
- They do not steal
- They do not use intoxicants
- They don't play games of chances, they don't gamble
- They do not kill their childeren
- They are not arrogant, show offs
- They do not mock, ridicule or make fun of others
- They do not conspire except for righteous purposes
- They do not prohibit lawful thing
- They do not fabricate any falsehood and do not attribute to God what He has never authorized
- They do not kill except in the course of justice

- They are not betrayers and they never side with betrayers.
- They give to charity from their favorite possessions during bad and good times
- They commemorate God and meditate with Quran at night and at dawn
- They utter peace to the ignorant and enlighten and remind with God's words
- They suppress their anger and strive to forgive when angered
- They fight oppression.
- They remember God when they sin and they ask Him for forgiveness, repent and reform.
- They are neither stingy or extravagant.
- They reverence the meeting of their Lord, heed the guidance and appreciate the reminders.
- They never hesitate to strive in God's cause with their lives and their money without any fear of blame
- They cooperate and compete in matters of righteousness
- They fully trust God, His attributes, and His systems
- They love all that God loves and abhor all that He abhors and therefore they highly value His standards and examples of integrity and righteousness

Our Ego
It is our ego that deceive us by prefering our own standards over the ones that God has set out for us. Our own ego will prevent us from being complete in our righteousness and thus it leads us to become compromisers instead of submitters and we ultimately lose our chance of redemption and salvation.

Killing our ego is therefore an extremly important command that God has given us.

[2:54] Recall that Moses said to his people, "O my people, you have wronged your souls by worshiping the calf. You must repent to your Creator. You shall kill your egos. This is better for you in the sight of your Creator." He did redeem you. He is the Redeemer, Most Merciful.

The righteous are able to recognize and reject the FALSE righteousness. They strive hard to please God alone, and do not follow their own personal wishes, desires, opinions, traditions and standards.

[74:56] They cannot take heed against God's will. He is the source of righteousness; He is the source of forgiveness.

May God guide us to pursue the real righteousness as defined by Him; the righteousness that would please Him.

"Our Lord, grant us righteousness in this world, and righteousness in the Hereafter, and spare us the retribution of Hell." [2:201]


Quran verses regarding the standards:


[2:177] ... Righteous are those who believe in God, the Last Day, the angels, the scripture, and the prophets; and they give the money, cheerfully, to the relatives, the orphans, the needy, the traveling alien, the beggars, and to free the slaves; and they observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat); and they keep their word whenever they make a promise; and they steadfastly persevere in the face of persecution, hardship, and war. These are the truthful; these are the righteous.

[4:136] O you who believe, you shall believe in God and His messenger, and the scripture He has revealed through His messenger, and the scripture He has revealed before that. Anyone who refuses to believe in God, and His angels, and His scriptures, and His messengers, and the Last Day, has indeed strayed far astray.

[16:114] Therefore, you shall eat from God's provisions everything that is lawful and good, and be appreciative of God's blessings, if you do worship Him alone.
[22:27] "And proclaim that the people shall observe Hajj pilgrimage. They will come to you walking or riding on various exhausted (means of transportation). They will come from the farthest locations."

[5:2] O you who believe, do not violate the rites instituted by God, nor the Sacred Months, nor the animals to be offered, nor the garlands marking them, nor the people who head for the Sacred Shrine (Ka`bah) seeking blessings from their Lord and approval. Once you complete the pilgrimage, you may hunt.* Do not be provoked into aggression by your hatred of people who once prevented you from going to the Sacred Masjid. You shall cooperate in matters of righteousness and piety; do not cooperate in matters that are sinful and evil. You shall observe God. God is strict in enforcing retribution.
[42:37] They avoid gross sins and vice, and when angered they forgive.

[53:32] They avoid gross sins and transgressions, except for minor offenses. Your Lord's forgiveness is immense. He has been fully aware of you since He initiated you from the earth, and while you were embryos in your mothers' bellies. Therefore, do not exalt yourselves; He is fully aware of the righteous.

[6:82] Those who believe, and do not pollute their belief with idol worship, have deserved the perfect security, and they are truly guided.

[17:23] Your Lord has decreed that you shall not worship except Him, and your parents shall be honored. As long as one or both of them live, you shall never say to them, "Uff" (the slightest gesture of annoyance), nor shall you shout at them; you shall treat them amicably.

[29:8] We enjoined the human being to honor his parents. But if they try to force you to set up idols beside Me, do not obey them. To Me is your ultimate return, then I will inform you of everything you had done.
[2:83] We made a covenant with the Children of Israel: "You shall not worship except God. You shall honor your parents and regard the relatives, the orphans, and the poor. You shall treat the people amicably. You shall observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat)." But you turned away, except a few of you, and you became averse.

[4:135] O you who believe, you shall be absolutely equitable, and observe God, when you serve as witnesses, even against yourselves, or your parents, or your relatives. Whether the accused is rich or poor, God takes care of both. Therefore, do not be biased by your personal wishes. If you deviate or disregard (this commandment), then God is fully Cognizant of everything you do.

[6:151] Say, "Come let me tell you what your Lord has really prohibited for you: You shall not set up idols besides Him. You shall honor your parents. You shall not kill your children from fear of poverty - we provide for you and for them. You shall not commit gross sins, obvious or hidden. You shall not kill - God has made life sacred - except in the course of justice. These are His commandments to you, that you may understand."

[9:23] O you who believe, do not ally yourselves even with your parents and your siblings, if they prefer disbelieving over believing. Those among you who ally themselves with them are transgressing.

[23:8] When it comes to deposits entrusted to them, as well as any agreements they make, they are trustworthy.

[70:32] And the believers keep their word; they are trustworthy.

[4:58] God commands you to give back anything the people have entrusted to you. If you judge among the people, you shall judge equitably. The best enlightenment indeed is what God recommends for you. God is Hearer, Seer.

[70:33] Their testimony is truthful.
[4:65] Never indeed, by your Lord; they are not believers unless they come to you to judge in their disputes, then find no hesitation in their hearts whatsoever in accepting your judgment. They must submit a total submission.

[5:68] Say, "O people of the scripture, you have no basis until you uphold the Torah, and the Gospel, and what is sent down to you herein from your Lord." For sure, these revelations from your Lord will cause many of them to plunge deeper into transgression and disbelief. Therefore, do not feel sorry for the disbelieving people.

[7:170] Those who uphold the scripture, and observe the Contact Prayers (Salat), we never fail to recompense the pious.

[36:11] You will be heeded only by those who uphold this message, and reverence the Most Gracious - even when alone in their privacy. Give them good news of forgiveness and a generous recompense.
[42:13] He decreed for you the same religion decreed for Noah, and what we inspired to you, and what we decreed for Abraham, Moses, and Jesus: "You shall uphold this one religion, and do not divide it." The idol worshipers will greatly resent what you invite them to do. God redeems to Himself whomever He wills; He guides to Himself only those who totally submit.

[48:26] While those who disbelieved were enraged, and their hearts were filled with the pride of the days of ignorance, God blessed His messenger and the believers with peaceful contentment, and directed them to uphold the word of righteousness. This is what they well deserved. God is fully aware of all things.

[103:3] Except those who believe and lead a righteous life, and exhort one another to uphold the truth, and exhort one another to be steadfast.

[4:148] God does not like the utterance of bad language, unless one is treated with gross injustice. God is Hearer, Knower.

[2:194] During the Sacred Months, aggression may be met by an equivalent response. If they attack you, you may retaliate by inflicting an equitable retribution. You shall observe God and know that God is with the righteous.

[4:135] O you who believe, you shall be absolutely equitable, and observe God, when you serve as witnesses, even against yourselves, or your parents, or your relatives. Whether the accused is rich or poor, God takes care of both. Therefore, do not be biased by your personal wishes. If you deviate or disregard (this commandment), then God is fully Cognizant of everything you do.

[5:8] O you who believe, you shall be absolutely equitable, and observe God, when you serve as witnesses. Do not be provoked by your conflicts with some people into committing injustice. You shall be absolutely equitable, for it is more righteous. You shall observe God. God is fully Cognizant of everything you do.
[26:181] "You shall give full measure when you trade; do not cheat.
[26:182] "You shall weigh with an equitable scale.
[5:90] O you who believe, intoxicants, and gambling, and the altars of idols, and the games of chance are abominations of the devil; you shall avoid them, that you may succeed
[7:161] Recall that they were told, "Go into this town to live, and eat therefrom as you please, treat the people amicably, and enter the gate humbly. We will then forgive your transgressions. We will multiply the reward for the righteous."

[31:18] "You shall not treat the people with arrogance, nor shall you roam the earth proudly. God does not like the arrogant showoffs.
[26:227] Exempted are those who believe, lead a righteous life, commemorate God frequently, and stand up for their rights. Surely, the transgressors will find out what their ultimate destiny is.

[42:39] When gross injustice befalls them, they stand up for their rights.

[42:41] Certainly, those who stand up for their rights, when injustice befalls them, are not committing any error.
[3:187] God took a covenant from those who received the scripture: "You shall proclaim it to the people, and never conceal it." But they disregarded it behind their backs, and traded it away for a cheap price. What a miserable trade.
[2:42] Do not confound the truth with falsehood, nor shall you conceal the truth, knowingly.

[17:36] You shall not accept any information, unless you verify it for yourself. I have given you the hearing, the eyesight, and the brain, and you are responsible for using them
[49:6] O you who believe, if a wicked person brings any news to you, you shall first investigate, lest you commit injustice towards some people, out of ignorance, then become sorry and remorseful for what you have done.
[49:12] O you who believe, you shall avoid any suspicion, for even a little bit of suspicion is sinful. You shall not spy on one another, nor shall you backbite one another; this is as abominable as eating the flesh of your dead brother. You certainly abhor this. You shall observe God. God is Redeemer, Most Merciful.

[28:83] We reserve the abode of the Hereafter for those who do not seek exaltation on earth, nor corruption. The ultimate victory belongs to the righteous.
[4:36] You shall worship God alone - do not associate anything with Him. You shall regard the parents, the relatives, the orphans, the poor, the related neighbor, the unrelated neighbor, the close associate, the traveling alien, and your servants. God does not like the arrogant show-offs.
[49:11] O you who believe, no people shall ridicule other people, for they may be better than they. Nor shall any women ridicule other women, for they may be better than they. Nor shall you mock one another, or make fun of your names. Evil indeed is the reversion to wickedness after attaining faith. Anyone who does not repent after this, these are the transgressors.

[5:87] O you who believe, do not prohibit good things that are made lawful by God, and do not aggress; God dislikes the aggressors.
[60:12] O you prophet, when the believing women (who abandoned the disbelievers) to seek asylum with you pledge to you that they will not set up any idols besides God, nor steal, nor commit adultery, nor kill their children, nor fabricate any falsehood, nor disobey your righteous orders, you shall accept their pledge, and pray to God to forgive them. God is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
[12:40] "You do not worship beside Him except innovations that you have made up, you and your parents. God has never authorized such idols. All ruling belongs to God, and He has ruled that you shall not worship except Him. This is the perfect religion, but most people do not know.

[17:33] You shall not kill any person - for God has made life sacred - except in the course of justice. If one is killed unjustly, then we give his heir authority to enforce justice. Thus, he shall not exceed the limits in avenging the murder, he will be helped.

[5:5] Today, all good food is made lawful for you. The food of the people of the scripture is lawful for you, and your food is lawful for them. Also, you may marry the chaste women among the believers, as well as the chaste women among the followers of previous scripture, provided you pay them their due dowries. You shall maintain chastity, not committing adultery, nor taking secret lovers. Anyone who rejects faith, all his work will be in vain, and in the Hereafter he will be with the losers.

[23:5] And they maintain their chastity.

[25:68] They never implore beside God any other god, nor do they kill anyone - for God has made life sacred - except in the course of justice. Nor do they commit adultery. Those who commit these offenses will have to pay.

[17:32] You shall not commit adultery; it is a gross sin, and an evil behavior.

[24:21] O you who believe, do not follow the steps of Satan. Anyone who follows the steps of Satan, should know that he advocates evil and vice. If it were not for God's grace towards you, and His mercy, none of you would have been purified. But God purifies whomever He wills. God is Hearer, Knower.
[29:45] You shall recite what is revealed to you of the scripture, and observe the Contact Prayers (Salat), for the Contact Prayers prohibit evil and vice. But the remembrance of God (through Salat) is the most important objective. God knows everything you do.

[16:90] God advocates justice, charity, and regarding the relatives. And He forbids evil, vice, and transgression. He enlightens you, that you may take heed.

[3:28] The believers never ally themselves with the disbelievers, instead of the believers. Whoever does this is exiled from God. Exempted are those who are forced to do this to avoid persecution. God alerts you that you shall reverence Him alone. To God is the ultimate destiny.

[5:56] Those who ally themselves with God and His messenger, and those who believed, belong in the party of God; absolutely, they are the victors.

[22:38] God defends those who believe. God does not love any betrayer, unappreciative.

[4:105] We have sent down to you the scripture, truthfully, in order to judge among the people in accordance with what God has shown you. You shall not side with the betrayers.

[2:274] Those who give to charity night and day, secretly and publicly, receive their recompense from their Lord; they will have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.
[3:92] You cannot attain righteousness until you give to charity from the possessions you love. Whatever you give to charity, God is fully aware thereof.
[76:8] They donate their favorite food to the poor, the orphan, and the captive.

[3:134] who give to charity during the good times, as well as the bad times. They are suppressors of anger, and pardoners of the people. God loves the charitable.
[33:4] 1O you who believe, you shall remember God frequently.

[73:8] You shall commemorate the name of your Lord, to come ever closer and closer to Him.

[74:7] Steadfastly commemorate your Lord.

[76:25] And commemorate the name of your Lord day and night.

[25:64] In the privacy of the night, they meditate on their Lord, and fall prostrate.

[39:9] Is it not better to be one of those who meditate in the night, prostrating and staying up, being aware of the Hereafter, and seeking the mercy of their Lord? Say, "Are those who know equal to those who do not know?" Only those who possess intelligence will take heed.

[50:40] During the night you shall meditate on His name, and after prostrating.

[73:2] Meditate during the night, except rarely.

[25:63] The worshipers of the Most Gracious are those who tread the earth gently, and when the ignorant speak to them, they only utter peace.

[4:63] God is fully aware of their innermost intentions. You shall ignore them, enlighten them, and give them good advice that may save their souls.

[6:69] The righteous are not responsible for the utterances of those people, but it may help to remind them; perhaps they may be saved.

[50:45] We are fully aware of everything they utter, while you have no power over them. Therefore, remind with this Quran, those who reverence My warnings.

[51:55] And remind, for the reminder benefits the believers.
[3:134] who give to charity during the good times, as well as the bad times. They are suppressors of anger, and pardoners of the people. God loves the charitable.

[2:191] You may kill those who wage war against you, and you may evict them whence they evicted you. Oppression is worse than murder. Do not fight them at the Sacred Masjid, unless they attack you therein. If they attack you, you may kill them. This is the just retribution for those disbelievers.

[2:193] You may also fight them to eliminate oppression, and to worship God freely. If they refrain, you shall not aggress; aggression is permitted only against the aggressors

[8:39] You shall fight them to ward off oppression, and to practice your religion devoted to God alone. If they refrain from aggression, then God is fully Seer of everything they do.
[3:135] If they fall in sin or wrong their souls, they remember God and ask forgiveness for their sins - and who forgives the sins except God - and they do not persist in sins, knowingly.

[2:160] As for those who repent, reform, and proclaim, I redeem them. I am the Redeemer, Most Merciful.

[4:146] Only those who repent, reform, hold fast to God, and devote their religion absolutely to God alone, will be counted with the believers. God will bless the believers with a great recompense.

[16:119] Yet, as regards those who fall in sin out of ignorance then repent thereafter and reform, your Lord, after this is done, is Forgiver, Most Merciful.

[25:67] When they give, they are neither extravagant nor stingy; they give in moderation.
[41:54] Indeed, they are doubtful about meeting their Lord. He is fully aware of all things.

[20:47] "Go to him and say, `We are two messengers from your Lord. Let the Children of Israel go. You must refrain from persecuting them. We bring a sign from your Lord, and peace is the lot of those who heed the guidance.
[25:62] He is the One who designed the night and the day to alternate: a sufficient proof for those who wish to take heed, or to be appreciative.

[39:66] Therefore, you shall worship God alone, and be appreciative.

[9:20] Those who believe, and emigrate, and strive in the cause of God with their money and their lives, are far greater in rank in the sight of God. These are the winners.
[9:41] You shall readily mobilize, light or heavy, and strive with your money and your lives in the cause of God. This is better for you, if you only knew.

[9:44] Those who truly believe in God and the Last Day do not ask your permission to evade the opportunity to strive with their money and their lives. God is fully aware of the righteous.

[9:88] As for the messenger and those who believed with him, they eagerly strive with their money and their lives. These have deserved all the good things; they are the winners.

[16:110] As for those who emigrate because of persecution, then continue to strive and steadfastly persevere, your Lord, because of all this, is Forgiver, Most Merciful.

[49:15] Mu'mens (believers) are those who believe in God and His messenger, then attain the status of having no doubt whatsoever, and strive with their money and their lives in the cause of God. These are the truthful ones.
[57:10] Why do you not spend in the cause of God, when God possesses all wealth in the heavens and the earth? Distinguished from the rest are those among you who spend before the victory and strive. They attain a greater rank than those who spend after the victory and strive. For each, God promises salvation. God is Cognizant of everything you do.

[5:2] O you who believe, do not violate the rites instituted by God, nor the Sacred Months, nor the animals to be offered, nor the garlands marking them, nor the people who head for the Sacred Shrine (Ka`bah) seeking blessings from their Lord and approval. Once you complete the pilgrimage, you may hunt.* Do not be provoked into aggression by your hatred of people who once prevented you from going to the Sacred Masjid. You shall cooperate in matters of righteousness and piety; do not cooperate in matters that are sinful and evil. You shall observe God. God is strict in enforcing retribution.

[5:48] Then we revealed to you this scripture, truthfully, confirming previous scriptures, and superseding them. You shall rule among them in accordance with God's revelations, and do not follow their wishes if they differ from the truth that came to you. For each of you, we have decreed laws and different rites. Had God willed, He could have made you one congregation. But He thus puts you to the test through the revelations He has given each of you. You shall compete in righteousness. To God is your final destiny - all of you - then He will inform you of everything you had disputed.

[23:61] They are eager to do righteous works; they compete in doing them.

[25:58] You shall put your trust in the One who is Alive - the One who never dies - and praise Him and glorify Him. He is fully Cognizant of His creatures' sins.

[2:138] Such is God's system, and whose system is better than God's? "Him alone we worship."

General Issues / Questions / War on information
February 28, 2014, 09:32:26 AM
It is important to be careful whenever we decide to study God?s Scriptures. It is essential to take responsibility about how and what information we decide to accept and believe in.

As God states in Quran 17:36 You shall not accept any information, unless you verify it for yourself. I have given you the hearing, the eyesight, and the brain, and you are responsible for using them.

This is extremely important to apply on each Scripture, including the Quran. As we can already witness among the so called Muslim communities who accept the Quran as the Truth, still failed to recognize, understand and believe in the real message that it contains.

It is why we are also commanded to seek refuge in God from the rejected Satan, whenever we read the Quran, as even the believers can easily misunderstand the message God is teaching us.

Throughout the years Satan has tried in so many ways to deceive mankind, including the believers.
A few verses that God has given us to understand that all the prophets (these are the ones who not only confirms a previous scripture, but are revealed a new scripture as well), dealt with enemies. With God ?s permission this has been happening since the beginning of times. This has been God?s plan to expose the true qualities of every person, including the ones who claim to be believers.

2:75 Do you expect them to believe as you do, when some of them used to hear the word of God, then distort it, with full understanding thereof, and deliberately?

2:79 Therefore, woe to those who distort the scripture with their own hands, then say, "This is what God has revealed," seeking a cheap material gain. Woe to them for such distortion, and woe to them for their illicit gains.

3:78 Among them are those who twist their tongues to imitate the scripture, that you may think it is from the scripture, when it is not from the scripture, and they claim that it is from God, when it is not from God. Thus, they utter lies and attribute them to God, knowingly.

6:112 We have permitted the enemies of every prophet - human and jinn devils - to inspire in each other fancy words, in order to deceive. Had your Lord willed, they would not have done it. You shall disregard them and their fabrications.

6:113 This is to let the minds of those who do not believe in the Hereafter listen to such fabrications, and accept them, and thus expose their real convictions.

6:114 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.

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

God tells us in the Quran that we should honor the previous scriptures as well.
5:44 We have sent down the Torah, containing guidance and light. Ruling in accordance with it were the Jewish prophets, as well as the rabbis and the priests, as dictated to them in God's scripture, and as witnessed by them. Therefore, do not reverence human beings; you shall reverence Me instead. And do not trade away My revelations for a cheap price. Those who do not rule in accordance with God's revelations are the disbelievers.

5:46 Subsequent to them, we sent Jesus, the son of Mary, confirming the previous scripture, the Torah. We gave him the Gospel, containing guidance and light, and confirming the previous scriptures, the Torah, and augmenting its guidance and light, and to enlighten the righteous.

5:47 The people of the Gospel shall rule in accordance with God's revelations therein. Those who do not rule in accordance with God's revelations are the wicked.

5:48 Then we revealed to you this scripture, truthfully, confirming previous scriptures, and superseding them. You shall rule among them in accordance with God's revelations, and do not follow their wishes if they differ from the truth that came to you. For each of you, we have decreed laws and different rites. Had God willed, He could have made you one congregation. But He thus puts you to the test through the revelations He has given each of you. You shall compete in righteousness. To God is your final destiny - all of you - then He will inform you of everything you had disputed.

3:3 He sent down to you this scripture, truthfully, confirming all previous scriptures, and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel
God explains to us that every time a new scripture got revealed, the majority of people who claimed to be believers plunged deeper into transgression and disbelief.

2:213 The people used to be one community when God sent the prophets as bearers of good news, as well as warners. He sent down with them the scripture, bearing the truth, to judge among the people in their disputes. Ironically, those who received the scripture were the ones who rejected any new scripture, despite clear proofs given to them. This is due to jealousy on their part. God guides those who believe to the truth that is disputed by all others, in accordance with His will. God guides whoever wills in a straight path.

5:64 The Jews even said, "God's hand is tied down!" It is their hands that are tied down. They are condemned for uttering such a blasphemy. Instead, His hands are wide open, spending as He wills. For certain, your Lord's revelations to you will cause many of them to plunge deeper into transgression and disbelief. Consequently, we have committed them to animosity and hatred among themselves until the Day of Resurrection. Whenever they ignite the flames of war, God puts them out. They roam the earth wickedly, and God dislikes the evildoers.

5:66 If only they would uphold the Torah and the Gospel, and what is sent down to them herein from their Lord, they would be showered with blessings from above them and from beneath their feet. Some of them are righteous, but many of them are evildoers.

5:68 Say, "O people of the scripture, you have no basis until you uphold the Torah, and the Gospel, and what is sent down to you herein from your Lord." For sure, these revelations from your Lord will cause many of them to plunge deeper into transgression and disbelief. Therefore, do not feel sorry for the disbelieving people.

2:89 When this scripture came to them from God, and even though it agrees with, and confirms what they have, and even though they used to prophesy its advent when they talked with the disbelievers, when their own prophecy came to pass, they disbelieved therein. God's condemnation thus afflicts the disbelievers.

Believers are deviated from the path of God, by taking idols as their gods, beside God.
9:30 The Jews said, "Ezra is the son of God," while the Christians said, "Jesus is the son of God!" These are blasphemies uttered by their mouths. They thus match the blasphemies of those who have disbelieved in the past. God condemns them. They have surely deviated.

9:31 They have set up their religious leaders and scholars as lords, instead of God. Others deified the Messiah, son of Mary. They were all commanded to worship only one god. There is no god except He. Be He glorified, high above having any partners.

This is exactly what is going on worldwide by i.a. the Catholic church, accepting the fake 13th apostle Paul and the Muslim scholars who are preaching Hadith instead of the true message of Submission.

The mission of the Messenger of Covenant (Rashad Khalifa)
3:81 God took a covenant from the prophets, saying, "I will give you the scripture and wisdom. Afterwards, a messenger will come to confirm all existing scriptures. You shall believe in him and support him." He said, "Do you agree with this, and pledge to fulfill this covenant?" They said, "We agree." He said, "You have thus borne witness, and I bear witness along with you."

33:7 Recall that we took from the prophets their covenant, including you (O Muhammad), Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus the son of Mary. We took from them a solemn pledge.

From all the above verses it is obvious that ALL scriptures from God contain the truth, we just need to seek for the truth by careful studies with God?s help.  As God states in 5:48 ? He could have made you one congregation. But He thus puts you to the test through the revelations He has given each of you. You shall compete in righteousness. To God is your final destiny - all of you - then He will inform you of everything you had disputed.

By competing in righteousness, by seeking for the truth in ALL of God?s scriptures we become one congregation, the TRUE submitters. These are the ones who don?t accept the scriptures partially and they are able to recognize the truth, in spite of the hard work of Satan.

21:92 Your congregation is but one congregation, and I alone am your Lord; you shall worship Me alone.

23:52 Such is your congregation - one congregation - and I am your Lord; you shall reverence Me.

Not all the prophets and messengers are mentioned in the Quran by name, but it doesn?t mean they didn?t or don?t exist. We can study and confirm the truthfulness of the scriptures by studying the contents; the message.

4:163 We have inspired you, as we inspired Noah and the prophets after him. And we inspired Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob, the Patriarchs, Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon. And we gave David the Psalms.

4:164 Messengers we have told you about, and messengers we never told you about. And God spoke to Moses directly.


From all the mentioned above we can understand that the message is spread out in all Scriptures. May God help us to seek, recognize, accept and believe in God?s true message and may He protect us from falling into transgression and disbelief. In sha Allah.

General Issues / Questions / Will Jesus return?
January 06, 2014, 05:18:44 AM
Peace be upon you to all believers,  All praise be to God, The Lord of the universe !

Will Jesus return?

Among the most widespread teaching in the Christian religion, after the deification of Jesus, son of Mary, there are many who believed in his return, this belief was so called prophesied by himself in the Gospels and other writings before that.
It turns out that the confused Sunni and Shiite Muslims are waiting with the same impatience for the return of the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, which according to them is also prophesied in the Qur'an.

Let us now take a look at the verses that seems to predict his imminent return and try to analyze the Biblical and Quranic words that are from our ancestral beliefs, by simply using the correct logic and intelligence that God, the One who holds all knowledge, has given us to recognize the Truth.

First we will see the verses that are most commonly used to argue for his return:

Revelation 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
Luke 21:27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
Luke 12:40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

Given that various religious sects include different books into their belief, makes me doubt the divine nature of some chapters, such as the Letters (epistles) of Paul and others. Therefor I will not make reference to them, as these are just conjectures.

God's word alone is a reliable support and therefore all other words cannot be taken into account in our journey towards the truth.

Let us return to the verses:

Revelations 5:11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;

12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

Matthew 24:37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Matthew 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Matthew 16:27
For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

The coming of the Son of man is repeated several times in the New Testament, but also in the Psalms and in the book Enoch, the prophet who received revelation from God before the event of the flood of Noah. Here are a few references:

Enoch 45:3 In that day shall the Elect One sit upon a throne of glory; and shall choose their conditions and countless habitations, while their spirits within them shall be strengthened, when they behold my Elect One, for those who have fled for protection to my holy and glorious name.
4 In that day I will cause my Elect One to dwell in the midst of them; will change the face of heaven; will bless it, and illuminate it for ever.
5 I will also change the face of the earth, will bless it; and cause those whom I have elected to dwell upon it. But those who have committed sin and iniquity shall not inhabit it, for I have marked their proceedings. My righteous ones will I satisfy with peace, placing them before me; but the condemnation of sinners shall draw near, that I may destroy them from the face of the earth.

Enoch 46:1
There I beheld the Ancient of days, whose head was like white wool, and with him another, whose countenance resembled that of man. His countenance was full of grace, like that of one of the holy angels. Then I inquired of one of the angels, who went with me, and who showed me every secret thing, concerning this Son of man; who he was; whence he was and why he accompanied the Ancient of days.
2 He answered and said to me, This is the Son of man, to whom righteousness belongs; with whom righteousness has dwelt; and who will reveal all the treasures of that which is concealed: for the Lord of spirits has chosen him; and his portion has surpassed all before the Lord of spirits in everlasting uprightness.
3 This Son of man, whom you behold, shall raise up kings and the mighty from their dwelling places, and the powerful from their thrones; shall loosen the bridles of the powerful, and break in pieces the teeth of sinners.

It is remarkable that all these verses are referring to the ?Son of Man?
Using the correct logic, and knowing that Jesus was a human prophet but that he had no 'genetic father' : the example of Jesus is the same as that of Adam, why would he be called the son of 'man' repeatedly?

Furthermore, If we carefully study the Gospels, we notice another thing; when Jesus speaks of the coming of the Son of Man, he always mentioned the son of man in the third person:

Luke 24:7
Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
Luke 17:24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
25 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
Luke 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
John 6:27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
John 8:28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

Now look more closely at the verses below:

John 8:28
Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

In this verse Jesus says that we will know who he really is, why does he say that?

Was it not because the Christian belief want him to be erected as the Son of God in the end of time, then when the Son of Man will be elevated we come to realize that Jesus was only a mortal messenger who prophesied, with God?s inspiration,  the arrival of another messenger . He then continues that he does nothing of himself, but only speaks God?s revelations.

John 12:49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
* the word Father is not to be taken literally, besides it is not only used in speaking concerning Jesus (see Matthew 5:45)

In the following verses, we learn that the Son of Man will be authorized to judge, since it is appointed by God to be a sovereign King in His kingdom, God Be Glorified!

John 5:27
And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

However, in chapter 12, Jesus says that he was not sent to judge the world.

John 12:47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

Continuing...

Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

Matthew 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

To summarize, even if someone claims to be Jesus, and he would perform miracles and wonders do not believe it, because it will be an impostor,

In the chapter of Matthew 24, Jesus warns believers not to be seduced by the many impostors who come and say they are Jesus himself, so he said clearly do not believe. So if someone comes and says he is Jesus and that we should not believe, how could it then be possible that he would teach us not to believe if Jesus would actually return?.

In fact it is not really him who teaches, it is God's system, who knows the future, who knows that this doctrine will be widespread, while the teaching here is clear that if an alleged Jesus comes to you, you should not believe.

Then, he speaks about the coming of the Son of Man that there will be a great event which also be spread widely and quickly as a lightening starting from the east going to the west. And again talks in the third person .

Continuing now in the John chapter 12, Jesus said:

John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
33 This he said, signifying what death he should die.
34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?
35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.

A careful reading of these verses suggests to us that this group of Jews , who were being gathered to listen to the teachings of Jesus, seemed to believe he was the Messiah prophesied in their books, so having heard that he will be lifted up from the earth, they asked him about who the Messiah will be at the end of time living forever (until the end of the world). Then look at what Jesus son of Mary said to them in verse 35:

John 12:35
: .. ?Yet a little while is the light with you ?

What can easily be noticed through his speech is that it is for this group that challenges their beliefs about the matter and wonder about who actually the son of man can be, if he is not Jesus ?

So the light was still present at that time, it must be admitted that at that time it was much easier to question what now in our present time has become a true sacred and unyielding doctrine.
Moreover it seems quite unimaginable for most Christians that the very idea that Jesus might not come back, would become a heresy !

John 7:27 However, we know where this Man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one knows where He is from.?
* christ comes from the Greek kristos = Messiah or Anointed by God

28 Then Jesus cried out, as He taught in the temple, saying, ?You both know Me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.

In this verse, a group of Jews was surprised to know that they have knowledge of Jesus, where he comes from and who he is, as he says in
Enoch 61:10 for example, that "...the son of man will be revealed, so the son of man is still unknown"

Enoch 61:10. "Then shall the kings, the princes, and all who possess the earth, glorify him who has dominion over all things, him who was concealed; for from the beginning the Son of man existed in secret, whom the Most High preserved in the presence of his power, and revealed to the elect."

Again, Jesus said in their favor saying "you know me and you know where I am",  the son of man is according to Book of Enoch and latter Scriptures, unknown to the people.

The Qur'an :
Is it written in the Qur'an that Jesus will return to earth at the end of time?
To answer this question why among the many so-called Muslim groups are led to believe in his imminent return,
let us look at the verse which is used to argue about the matter:

Speaking of Jesus, God says in Surah 43, verse 61: He is to serve as a marker for knowing the end of the world, so you can no longer harbor any doubt about it. You shall follow Me; this is the right path.

Not only Jesus was sent to prophesy of the Divine reign of the end of time but also the signs of the end of the world, but his date of birth is used today in the universal calendar allowed Rashad Khalifa (Messenger of the Covenant the covenant (Malachi 3, Sura 3:81, Sura 33:7)) to announce the date of the end of the world, through a miraculous codification of the Quran. The date of birth of Jesus proves that the calculations are correct, and thus serves as a benchmark for calculating the end of the world.

In addition, with regard to this belief among Muslims, it is in contradiction with the Quran, since God said that the Prophet Muhammad is the seal of the prophets, in other words, there cannot be another prophet coming after him, because even without further revelations after the Quran Jesus would have retained his status as a prophet if he actually would come back to us.

Quran 33:40 Muhammad was not the father of any man among you. He was a messenger of God and the final prophet. God is fully aware of all things.

Let?s continue our reasoning and examine the genealogy:

Genealogy:
A commonly cited prophecy in the scriptures is that the believers will inherit the earth, with the coming of the Messiah, the anointed by the Lord of the Universe. God has also promised to David that the fruits of his body will be set upon the throne:

Psalms 132
11 The Lord hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
12 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.

In Revelation 5 we have a confirmation that the descendant of David is the one who can only manage to loose the seals thereof:

Revelation 5
4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

What now remains is to examine the genealogy to see if Jesus was descended from David.  For the answer, we shall look at some verses in the Quran about the lineage of Mary.

In Surah 3 named "Family Amram 's" found a reference through which we learn that Mary's father is Amram:

Quran 3:35 The wife of Amram said, "My Lord, I have dedicated (the baby) in my belly to You, totally, so accept from me. You are Hearer, Omniscient."

Amram's wife was Anne, sister of Elizabeth, and a descendant of Aaron, this is confirmed by the Bible, in Luke chapter 1:5 and 36

Luke 1:5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.

Thus, in Sura 19, we learn that Mary is a descendant of Aaron.

Quran 19:28 O descendant of Aaron, your father was not a bad man, nor was your mother unchaste."

Mary, whose piety was well known, can also be considered as "sister of Aaron" in the spiritual sense. The term "sister of Aaron" is perhaps the same with this prophet, just as Mary loved God with devotion and an exemplary piety.
On the other hand, in other passages of the Quran and even the Bible (see above verse Luke 1:5), the word "sister" can also take the direction of a member of a clan or lineage. For example the story with H?d, the brother of  Ād (tribe), "and the Prophet Hud who addressed his tribe was called" brother "of his tribe.

Some believe an anachronism is used in verse 19:28; But the Qur'an came to confirm and supersede other writings to correct some falsifications, moreover, people of previous scriptures are invited to refer to the Qur'an to distinguish the true from the false and continue to support their respective scriptures.

Quran 5:48 Then we revealed to you this scripture, truthfully, confirming previous scriptures, and superseding them. You shall rule among them in accordance with God's revelations, and do not follow their wishes if they differ from the truth that came to you. For each of you, we have decreed laws and different rites. Had God willed, He could have made you one congregation. But He thus puts you to the test through the revelations He has given each of you. You shall compete in righteousness. To God is your final destiny - all of you - then He will inform you of everything you had disputed.

It is important to note that there is no confusion that Mary, mother of Jesus is not the same as another Mary mentioned in the Old Testament , which is in the proper sense , the sister of Moses and Aaron.

So,we now know that Mary descended from Aaron, which is the tribe of Levi (see Exodus 2). We then see that the Quranic verses above put a parallel between the family of Moses and Mary, the mother of Jesus , and therefore the tribe of Levi, if we continue in this logic, then we can understand that Jesus belongs to the tribe of Levi.
David is a descendant of the tribe of Judah. Therefore they do not have the same lineage.

To conclude, it seems that all Christian and Muslim groups even today have been led to believe the return of Jesus by a set of facts deliberately intertwined with each other in order to induce people in error. They have done this as we have seen earlier by misinterpretations by " forgetting" deliberately other verses and of course by the falsification of divine revelations :

Quran 3:78 Among them are those who twist their tongues to imitate the scripture, that you may think it is from the scripture, when it is not from the scripture, and they claim that it is from God, when it is not from God. Thus, they utter lies and attribute them to God, knowingly.

Quran 3:79 Never would a human being whom God blessed with the scripture and prophethood say to the people, "Idolize me beside God." Instead, (he would say), "Devote yourselves absolutely to your Lord alone," according to the scripture you preach and the teachings you learn.

Quran 3:80 Nor would he command you to idolize the angels and the prophets as lords. Would he exhort you to disbelieve after becoming submitters?

Finally to repeat what Jesus said to those who came to the question "who is this son of man?", we can say that the light is still with you,don't be as the people in the past when they were wondering, research the truth, and question traditional teachings that have no basis in the scriptures.
Also dare to admit in all honesty, the many contradictions and inconsistencies that you have found here a in a short reference.

Well to keep that light from different groups, people of the scriptures, be they Jews, Christians or Muslims, are invited to follow the religion of Abraham, the strict monotheism and do not divide into sects as being enemies to one another, but only compete with each other in righteousness by supporting God?s laws in the Torah, the Gospel and the Quran.

God guides those who seek the Truth and come to Him with all their heart, Peace be on you!

God be glorified, The Lord of the heavens, The Lord of the earth, The Lord of the universe

What is life?
Many people are so busy with living their lives in such a way that they can?t even realize or understand the true meaning of it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iZGVUa0BFo

Their preoccupation is one of the main reasons why they can?t connect the dots when it comes to the signs that are been given. When someone choses to live his life through wishful thinking and personal opinions, it is very clear that it is only based on conjecture; there is no certainty about anything that person feels, thinks , says and does about his life on earth and the Hereafter (if there is any belief in the hereafter).

Many people find this way of life liberating and enjoyable. But unfortunately soon or later they will find out the inevitable truth that they will be held for account for anything they have ever felt, thought, said and acted upon in this temporary world. All the signs that they were given and were heedless of, will be the reason for living in misery for eternity.

Signs
You may wonder what these signs are, that are being referred to and what kind of connection there needs to be made. The signs are everything and everywhere, close and far, on earth and outer space, they can be seen and unseen, in our thoughts, in our hearts, in our souls. All these signs is what the majority of people calls ?life?. We all have the same life, but in various versions. The variety can be seen in appearances, prosperity, families, friends, work, properties etc. and in variety of consciousness, abilities, personalities and preference etc.

These signs could and should be connected with the connection with the one and only God Almighty. This connection can only be based on certainty by linking our daily lives with the divine guidance through the words of Our Creator.

Divine guidance

The Scriptures of God are the ones that contain the message to mankind; that there is only one God. God of the universe: the seven heavens and the earth and everything that is in between. And the extremely important message of our real purpose of life; to obey and submit to God alone, and not anyone or anything else, to reach our final destiny in certainty. It shows the two paths of life; you either win or you lose. And that once you lose, you will lose forever and there will be no more chance to do better. No more chance to choose the path God has been given and showing you, through the signs; life!
The Scriptures have detailed examples, allegories, commands, warnings and good news as a true guidance for anyone who seeks God as their only Master.

This means that we all go through lives in different ways with different signs to be tested in order to expose the true qualities and convictions of every person to distinguish the truly guided ones from the ones who don?t seek for God as their only Lord and Master, the way they should have done.

Prophets and messengers
It is out of God?s mercy and grace that he send down his revelations to certain people that are prophets and messengers, who are the ones that are commanded to spread the message of God by giving good tidings to the ones who are on the right path and help them come closer to God. They also are commanded to give warning to the ones who are totally heedless or ignorant about the message and to remind them of past - and to warn them about near and futuristic retributions as a consequence of their ignorance and their committed evil works. So that they may turn back to God and to become righteous. But many communities got annihilated afterwards, as they only continued in their transgressions and disbelief.

Retributions and annihilations

The warnings of retributions and annihilations are the extreme natural events that happen in the whole universe and are seen and felt on earth. These events happen in various places, forms and time. The signs are not only been given through nature, they are seen in every aspect of this world; economy, politics, finance, technology , military and even on social grounds. However this documents will contain the connection between signs of nature and divine guidance (i.a.warnings) through God?s Scriptures.

Extreme nature events
Anyone who has been following the extreme changes in the past years and most importantly past months, weeks, days and even hours in our universe, including this planet, should come to realize that there is much more behind it than just ?another? evolution of nature. Below you will find a short enumeration of these extreme events.   

  • Major and historic flooding
  • Earthquakes
  • Massive tornadoes
  • Severe storms
  • Extreme temperature changes
  • Increased number of sinkholes
  • Increased volcanic eruptions
  • Huge amount of fireballs
  • Comet ISON and its debris field
  • Changes in different planet orbits
  • Sun eruption

It is just the beginning, take heed and change your ways

All these extreme past events are merely signs and small compared to what the near future will bring us. And it is very important to keep in mind that we should not be heedless and ignorant when a messenger of God comes to us and recites to us God?s verses from the existing Scriptures, in order to warn us of great tribulations and inviting us to follow him on the right path towards God, for our lives may be coming to an end soon! And no one is given another chance, once this worldly death has come.

Take this moment right here to improve your lives and come closer to God, through certainty, not through conjecture based on wishful thinking and personal opinions. Ask God for help and be a sincere, righteous person and protect yourself from falling into transgression and disbelief.

Since God promises forgiveness and a great recompense to the true believers, who are seeking for God through day and night, lead a righteous life and submit to Him alone. And they who follow His guidance will have no fear, nor will they grieve. These events are good news for the true believers, as they are signs that God?s Kingdom is near.

Sufficient warnings God is given us through His Scriptures

[7:185] Have they not looked ...at the dominion of the heavens and the earth,... and all the things GOD has created? Does it ever occur to them that the end of their life may be near? Which Hadith, beside this, do they believe in?
[41:53] We will show them our proofs in the horizons, and within themselves, until they realize that this is the truth. Is your Lord not sufficient as a witness of all things?

Luke 21 25 ?And there will be SIGNS...in the sun,... in the moon..., and in the stars...; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea ...and the waves ...roaring;
26 men?s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

20:113 We thus revealed it, an Arabic Quran, and we cited in it ...all kinds of prophecies, that they may be saved, ...or it may cause them to take heed.

Acts 2:19 And I will show wonders in the heavens above ...and signs on the earth below..., blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;
Acts 2:20 the sun shall be turned to darkness ...and the moon to blood, before the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day.
Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.?

Ignoring the signs and rejecting the messenger

[40:81] He thus shows you His proofs. Which of GOD's proofs can you deny?
[40:82] Have they not roamed the earth and noted the consequences for those who preceded them? They used to be greater in number, greater in power, and possessed a greater legacy on earth. Yet, all their achievements did not help them in the least.
[40:83] When their messengers went to them with clear proofs, they rejoiced in the knowledge they had inherited, and the very things they ridiculed were the cause of their fall.
[40:84] Subsequently, when they saw our retribution they said, "Now we believe in GOD ALONE, and we now disbelieve in the idol worship that we used to practice."
[40:85] Their belief then could not help them in the least, once they saw our retribution. Such is GOD's system that has been established to deal with His creatures; the disbelievers are always doomed.

Examples, thus lessons, of the consequences after rejecting prophets and messengers from the past
[29:39] Also Qaaroon, Pharaoh, and Hamaan; Moses went to them with clear signs. But they continued to commit tyranny on earth. Consequently, they could not evade (the retribution).
[29:40] All those disbelievers were doomed as a consequence of their sins. Some of them we annihilated by violent winds, some were annihilated by the quake, some we caused the earth to swallow, and some we drowned. GOD is not the One who wronged them; it is they who wronged their own souls.
...
[54:9] The people of Noah disbelieved before... them.... They disbelieved our servant and said, "Crazy!" He was persecuted.
[54:10] He implored his Lord, "I am oppressed; grant me victory."
[54:11] We then opened the gates of the sky, pouring water.
[54:12] And we caused springs to gush out of the earth. The waters met to effect a predetermined decision. [54:13] We carried him on a watercraft made of logs and ropes.
[54:14] It ran under our watchful eyes; a reward for one who was rejected. ...
[54:15] We have set it up as a lesson.(God's retribution with Noah) Does any of you wish to learn?
[54:16] How terrible was My retribution after the warnings!
[54:17] We made the Quran easy to learn. Does any of you wish to learn? ...
[54:18] `Aad disbelieved. Consequently, how terrible was My retribution after the warnings.
[54:19] We sent upon them violent winds, on a day of continuous misery.
[54:20] It tossed the people around as if they were decayed palm tree trunks. ...
[54:21] How terrible was My retribution after the warnings!
[54:22] We made the Quran easy to learn. Does any of you wish to learn?

[54:23] Thamoud rejected the warnings.
[54:24] They said, "Shall we follow one of us; a human being? We will then go astray, then end up in Hell. [54:25] "Did the message come down to him, instead of us? He is a flagrant liar."
[54:26] They will find out tomorrow who the flagrant liar is.
[54:27] We are sending the camel as a test for them. Watch them and be patient.
[54:28] Inform them that the water shall be divided among them; (the camel) shall be allowed to drink on her designated day.
[54:29] But they persuaded their friend to kill (the camel), and he obliged.
[54:30] Consequently, how terrible was My retribution! They have been warned.
[54:31] We sent upon them one blow, whereupon they became like harvested hay.
[54:32] We made the Quran easy to learn. Does any of you wish to learn? ...
[54:33] The people of Lot rejected the warnings.
[54:34] We showered them with rocks. Only Lot's family was saved at dawn.
[54:35] We blessed him and his family; we thus reward the appreciative.
[54:36] He warned them about our requital, but they ridiculed the warnings.
[54:37] They negotiated with him about his guests; we blinded them. Suffer My retribution; you have been warned.
[54:38] Early the next morning, a devastating retribution struck them. ...
[54:39] Suffer My retribution; you have been warned.
[54:40] We made the Quran easy to learn. Does any of you wish to learn? ...
[54:41] Pharaoh's people were warned.
[54:42] They rejected all our signs. Consequently, we requited them as an Almighty, Omnipotent should.

Recognize messengers through the message they come with; they invite you to the path towards God alone!

[28:59] For your Lord never annihilates any community without sending a messenger in the midst thereof, to recite our revelations to them. We never annihilate any community, unless its people are wicked.
...
[7:61] He said, "O my people, I am not astray; I am a messenger from the Lord of the universe.
[7:62] "I deliver to you the messages of my Lord, and I advise you, and... I know from GOD what you do not know.
[7:63] "Is it too much of a wonder that a reminder should come to you from your Lord, through a man like you, to warn you, and to lead you to righteousness, that you may attain mercy?"

[7:75] The arrogant leaders among his people said to the common people who believed, "How do you know that Saaleh is sent by his Lord?" ...They said, ..."The message he brought has made us believers."...

[7:85] To Midyan we sent their brother Shu`aib. He said, "O my people, worship GOD; you have no other god beside Him. Proof has come to you from your Lord?

[7:93] He turned away from them, saying, "O my people, ...I have delivered to you the messages of my Lord, ...and I have advised you. How can I grieve over disbelieving people."

Are we taking heed, are we doing any better than previous wicked communities?
[54:43] Are your disbelievers better than those disbelievers? Have you been absolved by the scripture? [54:44] Perhaps they think, "We will be the winners."
[54:45] All of them will be defeated; they will turn around and flee.
[54:46] The Hour is awaiting them, and the Hour is far worse and more painful.
[54:47] Certainly, the guilty are astray, and will end up in Hell.
[54:48] They will be dragged into the hellfire, forcibly. Suffer the agony of retribution.
[54:49] Everything we created is precisely measured.
[54:50] Our commands are done within the blink of an eye.
[54:51] We annihilated your counterparts. Does any of you wish to learn?
[21:6] We never annihilated a believing community in the past. Are these people believers? (Todays people)
[21:11] Many a community we terminated because of their transgression, and we substituted other people in their place.
...
[10:96] Surely, those condemned by a decree from your Lord cannot believe.
[10:97] No matter what kind of proof you show them, (they cannot believe), until they see the painful retribution.
...
[42:14] Ironically, they broke up into sects only after the knowledge had come to them, due to jealousy and resentment among themselves. If it were not for a predetermined decision from your Lord to respite them for a definite interim, they would have been judged immediately. ...Indeed, the later generations who inherited the scripture are full of doubts.
[15:90] We will deal with the dividers. [15:91] They accept the Quran ...only partially. ...

Life is temporary , do not live in transgression and disbelief!
2:266 Does any of you wish ... to own a garden of palm trees and grapes, with flowing streams and generous crops, then, ...just as he grows old, and while his children are still dependent on him, ... a holocaust strikes and burns up his garden? ...GOD thus clarifies the revelations for you, that you may reflect.

[10:24] The analogy of this worldly life is like this: we send down water from the sky to produce with it all kinds of plants from the earth, and to provide food for the people and the animals. Then, just as the earth is perfectly adorned, and its people think that they are in control thereof, our judgment comes by night or by day, leaving it completely barren, as if nothing existed the previous day. ...We thus explain the revelations for people who reflect.
...

[7:4] Many a community we annihilated; they incurred our retribution while... they were asleep, or ...wide awake.
[7:5] Their utterance when our retribution came to them was: "Indeed, we have been transgressors."
[7:6] We will certainly question... those who received the message..., and we will question the messengers. [7:7] We will inform them authoritatively, for we were never absent.
[7:34] For each community.., there is a predetermined life span. ..Once their interim comes to an end, they cannot delay it by one hour, nor advance it.
[7:35] O children of Adam, when messengers come to you from among you, and... recite My revelations to ...you, those who take heed and lead a righteous life,... will have nothing to fear..., nor will they grieve.
[7:36] As for those who reject our revelations, and are too arrogant to uphold them, they have incurred Hell, wherein they abide forever.

Live in certainty by connecting everything in life with God?s words.

[7:52] We have given them a scripture that is fully detailed, with knowledge, guidance, and mercy for the people who believe.
[7:53] ...Are they waiting until all (prophecies) are fulfilled? ...The day such fulfillment comes to pass, ...those who disregarded it... in the past will say, "The messengers of our Lord have brought the truth. ...Are there any intercessors to intercede on our behalf? Would you send us back, so that we change our behavior, and do better works than what we did?" They have lost their souls, and their own innovations have caused their doom.

Important lesson!
[7:96] Had the people of those communities believed and turned righteous, we would have showered them with blessings from the heaven and the earth. Since they decided to disbelieve, we punished them for what they earned.
[7:97] did the people of... The present communities ...guarantee that our retribution will not come to them... In the night as they sleep?
[7:98] did the people of ...today's communities... Guarantee that our retribution will not come to them ...in the daytime while they play?
[7:185] have they not looked ...at the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and ...all the things god has created? Does it ever occur to them that the end of their life may be near? Which hadith, beside this, do they believe in?
...
[10:101] Say, "Look at all the signs in the heavens and the earth." All the proofs ...and all the warnings... can never help people who decided to disbelieve.
[10:102] Can they expect other than the fate of their counterparts in the past? Say, "Just wait, and, along with you, I am also waiting."

[12:105] So many proofs... in the heavens and the earth are given to them..., but they pass by them, heedlessly!
...
[44:38] We did not create the heavens and the earth, and ...everything between them, just to play. [44:39] We created them for a specific purpose, but most of them do not know.
...
[53:49] He is THE LORD OF THE GALAXIES.
[53:50] He is the One who annihilated ancient `Aad.
[53:51] And wiped out Thamoud.
[53:52] Also the people of Noah before that; they were evil transgressors.
[53:53] The evil communities ...were the lowliest.
[53:54] Consequently, they utterly ...vanished. ...
[53:55] Which of your Lord's marvels can you deny?
[53:56]This is a ...warning ...like the ... older ones...

[53:57] The inevitable is imminent.

[53:58] None beside GOD can relieve it.
[53:59] Are you questioning this matter?
[53:60] Are you laughing, instead of crying?
[53:61] Are you insisting on your ways?

Good news for the believers; these are only signs for the tribulations and the coming of the Son of Man in God?s Kingdom. TRUE submission to GOD will dominate!
Malachi 4: 1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. 2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

Matthew 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Mark 13:26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

[42:13] He decreed for you the same religion decreed for Noah, and what we inspired to you, and what we decreed for Abraham, Moses, and Jesus: "You shall uphold this one religion, and do not divide it." The idol worshipers will greatly resent what you invite them to do. God redeems to Himself whomever He wills; He guides to Himself only those who totally submit.

[9:33]He is the One who sent His messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth, and will make it dominate all religions, in spite of the idol worshipers.

[48:28] He is the One who sent His messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth, to make it prevail over all other religions. God suffices as a witness.

[110:1] When triumph comes from God, and victory.
[110:2] You will see the people embracing God's religion in throngs.
[110:3] You shall glorify and praise your Lord, and implore Him for forgiveness. He is the Redeemer.

Peace be upon you and may God help and guide you to find the Truth!

All praise belongs to God alone, for He is truly the Greatest!

For anyone who believes in the Messenger of Covenant, we know that he came with many clear signs. Not only did he clarify the corruption that happened inside 'Islam', but he also gave  us proof of divine authorship with the 19-based mathematical miracle, that was destined to remain secret for a specific predetermined time.  Moreover, the mystery of the Quranic Initials got explained through this 19 miracle, which unveiled the exact year of the end of the World (2280 AD).  In addition to this numeric sign, we also have been given signs for the approaching of the end of the Word. Among the signs, that have not occurred yet are the Smoke (44:10) and the reappearance of Gog and Magog, which will happen in 1700AH/2270 AD. Praise be to God alone.

Many Submitters nowadays, say that the Messenger of Covenant made it clear that mentioning of the seven pairs in verse 15:87 is directly aimed at the 14 initials (seven pairs of initials). However,  he never excluded any other possible explanation of the seven pairs. Please, take a look at the following clip, where he explains the seven pairs in a different perspective. From 25:30 minute and on it will be clear to you God Willing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MgzxIJKorg 

Furthermore, we know through the MOC that the Bible is corrupted by 10-15%.

In many verses from the Quran, we also learn that as submitters, we also must believe in the previous Scriptures, as they are Revelations from God.

[4:136] O you who believe, you shall believe in God and His messenger, and the scripture He has revealed through His messenger, and the scripture He has revealed before that. Anyone who refuses to believe in God, and His angels, and His scriptures, and His messengers, and the Last Day, has indeed strayed far astray.

By understanding our duty of obedience and seeking for knowledge, and by keeping in mind that the corruption indeed happen inside all the scriptures, we must certainly be careful in what we accept and believe in. But it doesn't mean that we should stop seeking for the Truth, especially as submitters, because we can see what that effect was to previous believers from previous scriptures and as well to the believers of the Quran when they stopped questioning and stop seeking for information;  the majority fell into idol worship: the idol worship of their kind is the idolizing of a prophet and/or messenger. We need to remind ourselves and fully trust that God guides the true believers, even in despite of the hard work of our ardent enemy Satan.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Now, when we keep all the above in mind and seek for more knowledge in God?s previous Scriptures, we find many clear verses of prophecies from the past, that are connected with the approaching of the end of times.

In the book of Malachi 3 we read that it is the mission of the Messenger of Covenant to purify and unify all God?s word, in order for us to be prepared for what is coming after him.

Malachi 3: 1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.
2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:
3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness.


The Messenger of Covenant purified the Monotheistic Religion and proved the divine authorization of Quran according to the 19 based mathematical miracle and thus prepared the way of uniting all God?s Scriptures. Therefore, we can understand that the Quran is the Ultimate Truth, and the only source we should reference to, in order to recognize, confirm and believe the truth that is been written inside previous Scriptures.

In i.a. chapter 74 of the Quran, we find the link between the 19 miracle, the mission of this miracle that was happened through the MOC and the confirmation of Malachi 3.

[74:31] We appointed angels to be guardians of Hell, and we assigned their number (19) (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?" GOD thus sends astray whomever He wills, and guides whomever He wills. None knows the soldiers of your Lord except He. This is a reminder for the people.

Next to the above, we find in the book of Daniel, the visions of Daniel, as descriptions of events of many evil kings and rulers on earth will come, until the predetermined time will come that God?s Kingdom will be ruled by a righteous servant/ruler/king/messenger, who will be followed and obeyed by the righteous, elect, worshipers of God alone, in the chosen, holy land of Jerusalem.  These are the people whose name will be found written in the book (Book of life, mentioned in other Scriptures of the Bible). Daniels visions were explained to him through God?s angel: Gabriel. 

As these visions were events of the latter years, he was commanded to keep them for himself, until a specific, decreed time for that it may be understood by true believers who will be seeking for knowledge from God.

4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.


Please refer to verses of the book of Daniel 12, in order to verify this above information.

In the  Quran verse 21:105 we read that it is decreed in the Psalms, as well as in other scriptures, that the earth shall be inherited by God?s  righteous worshipers.

Quran 10:13 Many a generation we have annihilated before you when they transgressed. Their messengers went to them with clear proofs, but they refused to believe. We thus requite the guilty people. 10:14 Then we made you inheritors of the earth after them, to see how you will do.

In the book of Psalm 132 we find the following verses:

11 The Lord hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
12 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.


In the Book of Revelation 5 we find the mentioning of the righteous servant/ruler/king/messenger is who is decreed to open the book, which has been seen in i.a. Daniel?s visions.

5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

In the following verses of the book of Psalms 18 we find a part of the sayings of this righteous servant/ruler/king/messenger.

43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
46 The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
47 It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
48 He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.
50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.

After acknowledging the above truth of the coming of a just, righteous messenger ruler who will be given the Kingdom at God?s holy land and who will be the one who will be opening the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof, that was seen and mentioned in the visions of prophet Daniel, we ought to seek for more knowledge about this book and its seven seals.

In diverse books of the Bible we find the description of these seven seals.  There is knowledge about the signs of the approaching of the seven seals and the ?secret? existence of this righteous messenger ruler before his Kingdom will be coming up.  It is also given that the period of time that his miraculous way of coming to rule in Gods Kingdom will be between the 6th and 7th seal. The messenger ruler is called the Lamb and also he is called the Son of Man, the same way previous prophets/messengers were named. And the 7 seals are mentioned and explained as well.

In the book of Matthew 24 and Mark 13, we find the conversation/explanation of Jesus to his disciples about the signs of the end of the world and the coming of the Lamb/Son of Man.

Matthew 24:
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.


Also in the book of Mark 13

11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
12 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
34 For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.


When we read the following saying of Jesus in the book of John and in Enoch, we understand that Jesus was telling his disciples that there will be a coming of another messenger, who will be more exalted than himself.

John 8:28 So Jesus said, ?Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
*The Greek for LIFTED UP also means EXALTED.

Enoch69:1 After this the >name < of the Son of Man, living with the lord of spirits, was exalted by the inhabitants of the earth.
Enoch 69:2 It was exalted in the chariots of the Spirit; and the name went forth in the midst of them.


In the Quran we can see the confirmation of the above.

Quran 61:6 Recall that Jesus, son of Mary, said, "O Children of Israel, I am God's messenger to you, confirming the Torah and bringing good news of a messenger to come after me whose name will be even more praised Then, when he showed them the clear proofs, they said, "This is profound magic."

Quran 61:9 He has sent His messenger  with the guidance and the true religion, and will make it dominate all religions, in spite of the idol worshipers.


Furthermore we have been given knowledge about the signs before the opening of the 7 seals, in Revelation 13.

In the book of Revelations 6 we read the following about the first 4 seals:

1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.


And when we go back to the book of Daniel 7, the following is revealed about the 4 beasts (seals):

2 Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.

16 I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
18 But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;
20 And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.
21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.


Then the 5th seal in the book of Revelation 6

9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.


And again we go back to the book of Daniel:

23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.



The 6th seal in the book of Revelation 6:

12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?


Also in Malachi 4 we find the description of the 6th seal. This verse is clearly showing that it is the happening of the great tribulations, before the coming of the Son of Man.

1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.


Here we see that the 6th seal together with the coming of the Son of Man was described in Mark 13:24 and in Matthew 24: 29. With his coming, the elect believers will be gathered in God?s Holy land.

31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.


This is also mentioned in Mark 13:27

In the book of Luke 17 we find that the Son of Man, already exists and gets rejected, before he will rule in God?s Kingdom.  This has been God?s system with all the prophets/and messengers.

22 And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
23 And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
25 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.


And in Enoch 61

Then shall the kings, the princes, and all who possess the earth, glorify him who has dominion over all things, him who was concealed; for from the beginning  the son of man existed in secret, whom the most high preserved in the presence of his power, and revealed to the elect.

Also read Chapter 54 of the Quran to see how every prophet/messenger was denied and ridiculed, before the retribution came upon them. This also will be happening to the Lamb/Son of Man, before he gains the victory, before he will be coming with a miracle given by God.

In the following verses we find more details of about the gathering of the elect believers, who are the one who were refined,  purified and made white. See Daniel 11 and 12 and Revelation 7.

Revelation 7
1 After these things I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, on the sea, or on any tree.
2 Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea,
3 saying, ?Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.?
4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed. One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed:
5 of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand were sealed;
6 of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand were sealed;
7 of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand were sealed;
8 of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed.
A Multitude from the Great Tribulation
9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, CLOTHED WITH WHITE ROBES, with palm branches in their hands,

13 Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, ?who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from??
14 And I said to him, ?Sir,you know.?
So he said to me, ?These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.


Then after this, the 7th seal will be opened., which is found in Revelation 8

1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.


Please refer to verses of the book of Mark, Mathew, Malachi, Daniel, Luke, Enoch and Revelation in combination with the verses of the Quran, in order to verify this above information.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Now by understanding the seven seals that are opened by the Lamb, we can further continue to study the 7 trumpets that are given to the seven angels, when the 7th seal was opened. Between the opening of the 7th seal and the blowing of the seven trumpets, there will be some years passing.
Also by studying the seven trumpets, we come to know that the description of these trumpets are matching the descriptions of the seven bowls, that are described in Revelations 16.

Below you can find  the descriptions of the 7 trumpets/bowls.

First trumpet: vegetation struck
Revelations 8:7 the first angel sounded: and hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
First bowl: loathsome sores
Revelations 16:2 so the first went and poured out his bowl upon the earth, and a foul and loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image.

Second trumpet: the seas struck
Revelations 8:8 then the second angel sounded: and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood.
Second bowl: the sea turns to blood
Revelations 16:3 then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living creature in the sea died.

Third trumpet: the waters struck
Revelations 8:10 then the third angel sounded: and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. 11 the name of the star is wormwood. a third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.
Third bowl: the waters turn to blood
Revelations 16:4 then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.

Fourth trumpet: the heavens struck
Revelations 8:12 then the fourth angel sounded: and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. a third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.
13 and i looked, and i heard an angel lying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, ?woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!?
Fourth bowl: men are scorched
Revelations 16:8 then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire.

Fifth trumpet: the locusts from the bottomless pit
Revelations 9: 1 then the fifth angel sounded: and i saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. to him was given the key to the bottomless pit. 2 and he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. so the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit. 3 then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. and to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 they were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of god on their foreheads.
Fifth bowl: darkness and pain
Revelations 16:10 then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain.

We can see that the 5th trumpet can be recognized as one of the signs of the approaching of the end of the world inside the Quran. In chapter 44 the Smoke we find the following:

[44:10] Therefore, watch for the day when the sky brings a profound smoke.
[44:11] It will envelope the people; this is a painful retribution.
[44:12] "Our Lord, relieve this retribution for us; we are believers."
[44:15] We will relieve the retribution for awhile; you will soon revert.
[44:16] The day we strike the big stroke, we will avenge.


The day that is mentioned in 44:16 is the moment the 7th trumpet has been blown. When the 7 trumpets have been blown, this will be the end of an era and the beginning of a new one.

Sixth trumpet: the angels from the Euphrates
Revelations 9:13 then the sixth angel sounded: and i heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, ?release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.?
Sixth bowl: Euphrates dried up
Revelations  16:12 then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared.

Seventh trumpet: the kingdom proclaimed
Revelations 9:15 then the seventh angel sounded: and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, ?the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our lord (and of his christ,...) and he shall reign forever and ever!? 16 and the twenty-four elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying:

?we give you thanks, o Lord God almighty,
the one who is and who was and who is to come,
because you have taken your great power and reigned.
18 the nations were angry, and your wrath has come,
and the time of the dead, that they should be judged,
and that you should reward your servants the prophets and the saints,
and those who fear your name, small and great,
and should destroy those who destroy the earth.?

19 then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of his covenant was seen in his temple. and there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.
Seventh bowl: the earth utterly shaken
Revelations 16:17 then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, ?it is done!? 18 and there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The gathering of the elect believers, that will happen between the 6th and 7th seal, shows more details inside the book of Acts 2. The believers that come from all the part of the world, will be given the miracle of understanding each other in their own language.

1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:
21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.


Also in Ezekiel 11

17 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
18 And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.
19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
20 That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.


In the following verses we can see how the elect believers are the ones that are safe from the tribulations of the 7th seal and 7 trumpets. They are the ones to who the name of the Son of Man will be revealed to.

Enoch 45:3 In that day shall the elect one sit upon a throne of glory;
and shall choose their conditions and countless habitations, while their spirits within them shall be strengthened, when they behold my elect one, for those who have fled for protection to my holy and glorious name.

Enoch 45:4 In that day I will cause my elect one to dwell in the midst of them; will change the face of heaven; will bless it, and illuminate it for ever.
Enoch 45:5 I will also change the face of the earth, will bless it; and cause those whom I have elected to dwell upon it. But those who have committed sin and iniquity shall not inhabit it, for I have marked their proceedings. My righteous ones will I satisfy with peace, placing them before me; but the condemnation of sinners shall draw near, that I may destroy them from the face of the earth.

Enoch 48:2 In that hour was this son of man invoked before the Lord of Spirits, and his name in the presence of the ancient of days.
Enoch 48:3 Before the sun and the signs were created, before the stars of heaven were formed, his name was invoked in the presence of the Lord of Spirits. A support shall he be for the righteous and the holy to lean upon, without falling; and he shall be the light of nations.
Enoch 48:4 He shall be the hope of those whose hearts are troubled. All, who dwell on earth, shall fall down and worship before him; shall bless and glorify him, and sing praises to the name of the Lord of Spirits.
Enoch 48:5 There fore the elect and the concealed one existed in his presence, before the world was created, and for ever.

Enoch 48:9 I will cast them like hay into the fire, and like lead into the water. thus shall they burn in the presence of the righteous, and sink in the presence of the holy; nor shall a tenth part of them be found.
Enoch 48:10 But in the day of their trouble, the world shall obtain tranquility.
Enoch 48:11 In his presence shall they fall, and not be raised up again; nor shall there be any one to take them out of his hands, and to lift them up: for they have denied the lord of spirits, and his Messiah. The name of the lord of spirits shall be blessed.


We also see the description of the dominion of the Son of Man, given to him by God. Praise be to God.

Enoch 46:1 There I beheld the Ancient of days, whose head was like white wool, and with him another, whose countenance resembled that of man. His countenance was full of grace, like that of one of the holy angels. Then I inquired of one of the angels, who went with me, and Who showed me every secret thing, concerning this Son of Man; who he was; whence he was and why he accompanied the ancient of days.
Enoch 46:2 He answered and said to me, This is the Son of man, to whom righteousness belongs; with whom righteousness has dwelt; and who will reveal all the treasures of that which is concealed:
for the lord of spirits has chosen him; and his portion has surpassed all before the Lord of spirits in everlasting uprightness.
Enoch 46:3 This Son of man, whom you behold, shall raise up kings and the mighty from their dwelling places, and the powerful from their thrones; shall loosen the bridles of the powerful, and break in pieces the teeth of sinners.

Enoch 50:2 He shall select the righteous and holy from among them; for the day of their salvation has approached.
Enoch 50:3 And in those days shall the elect one sit upon his throne, while every secret of intellectual wisdom shall proceed from his mouth, for the Lord of spirits has gifted and glorified him.


The Son of Man will be a messenger ruler, who will be given authority (power, riches, wisdom, strength honor, glory and blessing) to judge and reign over the people on the surface of the world. But as we know from previous verses, that he will be rejected by his generation. The same thing happened to prophets and messengers in the past: such as Noah.

Quran 54
[54:2]Then they saw a miracle; but they turned away and said, "old magic."
[54:3] They disbelieved, followed their opinions, and adhered to their old traditions.
[54:4] Sufficient warnings have been delivered to alert them.
[54:5] Great wisdom; but all the warnings have been in vain.
[54:6] Ignore them; the day will come when the caller will announce a terrible disaster.
[54:7] With their eyes humiliated, they come out of the graves like scattered locusts.
[54:8] As they respond to the caller, the disbelievers will say, "This is a difficult day."
[54:9] The people of Noah disbelieved before them. They disbelieved our servant and said, "crazy!" he was persecuted.


And as it is God?s Will, the victory will come to the Son of Man.

Quran 12:110 Just when the messengers despair, and think that they had been rejected, our victory comes to them. We then save whomever we choose, while our retribution for the guilty people is unavoidable.

Please refer to verses of the book of Acts, Ezekiel and Enoch  in combination with the verses of the Quran, in order to verify this above information.

By understand the above, that the Son of Man, will be given the authority in God?s Kingdom, we can now further study the prophecy he will be coming with. He will be the one who will prophecy against Gog and Magog. This can be found in Ezekiel 38.

1 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
10 Thus saith the Lord God; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord God; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?

16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.


Here we can see a clear connection between the above verses and the verses from the story of Zul Qarnain in the Quran.


[18:94] They said, "O Zul-Qarnain, Gog and Magog are corruptors of the earth. Can we pay you to create a barrier between us and them?"
[18:95] He said, "My Lord has given me great bounties. If you cooperate with me, I will build a dam between you and them.
[18:96]"Bring to me masses of iron." Once he filled the gap between the two palisades, he said, "Blow." Once it was red hot, he said, "Help me pour tar on top of it."
[18:97]Thus, they could not climb it, nor could they bore holes in it.
[18:98] He said, ?This is mercy from my Lord. When the prophecy of my lord comes to pass, he will cause the dam to crumble. The prophecy of my Lord is truth."
[18:99] At that time, we will let them invade with one another, then the horn will be blown, and we will summon them all together.


We can understand that Son of Man/Lamb described in the many books of the Bible is the same person as Zul-Qarnain mentioned in the Quran.  Again Please refer to verses of the book of Ezekiel in combination with the verses of the Quran, in order to verify this above information.

The strife to increase our knowledge is what makes us, submitters, attain our certainty about God's existence and recognize His signs and Mercy. When we grow in knowledge we become more intelligent and we develop our wisdom and good logic ; additional blessings to advance on the straight path of God.

[Quran 3:18] God bears witness that there is no god except He, and so do the angels and those who possess knowledge. Truthfully and equitably, He is the absolute god; there is no god but He, the Almighty, Most Wise.

[Quran 34:6] It is evident to those who are blessed with knowledge that this revelation from your Lord to you is the truth, and that it guides to the path of the Almighty, the Most Praiseworthy.

[Quran 20:114] ...and say, "My Lord, increase my knowledge."


Peace be upon you all.

Introduce Yourself / A peaceful message to all of you.

What i believe in. Praise be to God. 

I believe in One God, the Only God. The God of the Universe: of all the heavens and the earth and all that is in between. 

I believe in the Last Day; the day we will all be recompensed for everything we have done, be it good or bad, in this life. 

I believe in the feud in the High Society that led to the categorization of God's creation, such as the angels, the animals, the jinns and the human beings.

I believe that this life on this world is our last chance for redeeming our souls and turning to God before the worldy death reaches us. In this world our true qualities will be exposed: the righteous will be distinguished from the wicked. 

The exposure will be experienced as tests, which happens continuously in every one's daily life. 
Our tests come through many ways: through blessings and harships, thoughts and feelings, relationships with family, friends and with collegues, strangers, through work, properties, money and with our own lives. 

The winners are the ones who always put God first with everything they think of, act upon and strive for. They submit a total submission to God alone, without any compromise. They are the ones who deserve to go Heaven. The ones who failed to uphold God's covenant, that there is no god, except the ONE and ONLY God, will be destined for the Hellfire. 

In order to reach the state of mind of absolute submission to God, they reverence God by studying His scriptures, not by blindy following their forefathers, or by giving excellent lipservice or acting like a submitter in appearance. 

I believe in all the prophets who have been revealed a part of the Scriptures: the Torah and the Gospel, which completes the Bible. I also believe in the last Scripture from God that is revealed to the last prophet Mohamed; the Quran. 

I also am aware of the corruption that happened inside all the Scriptures, but I fully trust that this is also part of the big test of the ones who claim to be believers. And God will guide the truthful believers, in despite of the hard work of our ardent enemy: Satan and his army, to keep the believers far from the path of total submission: the path of God, by inviting them to fall into idol worship of any kind. (be it accepting fake gods, such as stones or human beings, be it accepting any other source beside the scriptures, be it following ones own personal opinions and wishes, or be it doubting the truthfulness of God's words or even the existence of our Creator).

Furthermore I believe in messengers, because besides the prophets who are all messengers, there are only messengers aswell. They are the ones who come to different communities in order to explain the scriptures of God, in order to warn and to bring good tidings to the people with the Truth. Some messengers can also become rulers, in accordance with God's decree.

I also believe in the Messenger of the Covenant, who came to unify God's Scriptures by the 19 miracle, which is encoded in the Quran and is found aswell in everything in God's creation, that goes beyond the atom. He was also permitted by God to find the exact year of the end of World (2280) inside the Quran, by i.a. its initials. 

By further studying of the Scriptures, I started to understand and strongly believe in the seven pairs, that can be found inside the previous scriptures. These seven pairs are refering to the seven seals, the seven trumpets/bowl described in the Book of Revelation. 

The opening, and thereby the understanding to essence of these seven pairs, will be done by a ruler messenger: the Son of Man; the Lamb; Dhul Qarnain.

So far, we have been living in a world that is controled by Satan, by God's permission, by His decree, in order to expose the true believers from the evil doers, the worshippers of Satan. And the majority of followers have always been deceived by satan and his allies. Untill the time comes and the Kingdom of Son of Man will arise in God's Holy Land: Jerusalem, and he will rule and establish God's true religion of Submission on earth and will eventually prophesy against Gog in the land of Magog, who will be the evil doers on earth . From that moment and on the majority on earth will be true submitters. And with the exception of the elect believers, who will be gathered together by the angels in the Holy land, and will dwell safely, the people on the surface of the world will go through great tribulations, which are described in the seven seals, seven trumpets/bowls.

The corruption that comes with this knowledge is that the majority of 
believers, think the Son of Man will be the return of Jesus Christ or some think it is el Mehdi. However by studying the Scriptures, we understand that Jesus Christ's life has been terminated in this world in his time of living on the surface of earth. and only the deceitful believe he was crucified in order for him to wash away our sins. 

The Son of Man/Lamb/ Dhul Qarnain that is refered to in the context of the actuality, is a person that already exists and lives among the communities of this lifetime. His name will only be revealed to the elect believers, untill the time his Kingdom will arise and will see him coming through a miracle of God, in order to be recognized that it is he, who will grant victory and rule on this earth, as a messenger ruler. 

There are so many other aspects i would like to explain in order to clarify in what i believe in. Praise be to God alone. I am thankful for everything. And I pray for more knowledge and I pray for God's help in everything I do. May God guide us to the Truth so that we may come closer to God in this life, for that we may be saved from the Hellfire.""""""
