Challenge: There can be no messenger who is not a prophet.

This article is to find out whether there can be a messenger who is not a prophet. By the end of this article  when I prove that there is no messenger who is not a prophet then we will be 100% sure that rk is a dajjal.

 

"A messenger of God must present proof that he is God's messenger. Every messenger of God is supported by incontrovertible divine signs proving that he is authorized by the Almighty to deliver His messages. Moses threw down his staff and it turned into a serpent, Jesus healed the leprous and revived the dead by God's leave, Saaleh's sign was the famous camel, Abraham walked out of the fire, and Muhammad's miracle was the Quran (29:50-51)"

 The above text is from rk's appendix 2 in which he has talked of the miracles of God's messengers. We can understand then when a miracle comes from GOD it is not fake and neither is it done in half. For example the staff of Moses did not turn into a rubber snake and the Quran given to Muhammad had no errors when the the revelation of the book was complete. according to submitters rk's miracle is his discovery and presentation of the 19 theory or common divisor of the Quran. BUT this miracle of his has fabrications and deceits involved in it to prove his false claims. Some examples are as follows.

 1")This initial is unique; it occurs in one sura, 68, and the name of the letter is spelled out as three letters - Noon Wow Noon - in the original text, and is therefore counted as two N's. The total count of this letter in the N-initialed sura is 133, 19x7"

The above text is from rk's appendix 2 in which he says that he has counted NUN as to N's because it is spelled out as three letters- Noon Wow Noon. BUT rk does not count Mim as two M's even when it is spelled out as 3 letters - Mim Yaa Mim-. This is a done so that his count will come to what he wants which is a divisible of 19.

 

There is no place in the Quran where the Intial Meem is spelled out this way.

DECEIT # ONE
RASHAD KHALIFA DELETES 
TWO VERSES (9: 128/129)
IN HIS SECOND PUBLICATION
AND YET THE TOTAL COUNT

REMAINS THE SAME IN BOTH...

Please examine the hi-lited texts from page 137 below:

In this FIRST publication the verses 9: 128/129 of the Quran are NOT DELETED. Please note the word "God" (Allah) appears in verse 129.

On page 472 of his FIRST publication, the total count of the words "Allah" in the Qur'an is mentioned as 2698 (19x42=2698).
In his commentary below Rashad makes comments on verse 128,
Later on Rashad Khalifa deletes this verse in his SECOND publication.

RASHAD'S SECOND PUBLICATION (1989)
Title: QURAN: THE FINAL SCRIPTURE
ISBN 0-934894-57-1   Price U.S. $ 57.00

In this SECOND Publication the Surah 9 ends with verse 127. The verses number 128 and 129 are expunged. In his commentary below Rashad Khalifa declares them as the false verses. Please read the hi-lited text:  

 


Surprisingly on page 627 below, in his SECOND publication, Rashad shows the total number of counts for the word "Allah" in the Qur'an to
be the same as before i.e. 2698.  ALTHOUGH RASHAD HAD DELETED TWO VERSES AND WITHIN THOSE TWO VERSES THERE WAS THE WORD "ALLAH" AS SEEN IN THE EARLIER SCANNED IMAGE, HE KEPT THE COUNT SAME AS BEFORE!!! 
IS THIS NOT A DECEPTION???

*********************************************************************************************************************************

The way this happened is a miracle in itself. In one of the first publications presenting the miracle, "Quran, Visual Presentation of The Miracle," we see that one occurrence of the word "Allah" was missed at this time in verse 9:15. On page 43 in that book you will see that only one occurrence of the word "Allah" is represented there, when in fact there should be two. For your convenience, that page is enclosed here. 

 

This means that even after the two false verses were exposed as false and correctly removed, the count still remained 2698, as a recount corrected this previous mistake in 9:15. 

 

Now that you know better, that you've been informed that you were unaware of this, will you remove this false claim that this was a deceit?

DECEIT # TWO
RASHAD KHALIFA ALTERS
muqatta'at (Quranic Initial)
"nun" into "nun waw nun"
to tally his count

 


RASHAD'S PUBLICATION (1982)
Title: QURAN: Visual Presentation of The Miracle
ISBN 0-934894-30-2 Library of Congress Card No. 82-083551

 

Below on page 238 Rashad Khalifa mentions THE QURANIC INITIAL "N" as the single alphabet "nun" of the Arabic language:

 

But on page 90, to tally the total count of the alphabets "nun"in Surah 68 (Al-Qalam), Rashad alters the printed Arabic Text. One can easily see that the QURANIC INITIAL "N" (nun) is altered by hand to read "nun waw nun". With this EXTRA "nun" he could make the total count divisible by Number 19. Please also notice that the hi-lited portions of the decorative borders. These borders have been cut and re-pasted to accommodate the extra space needed for the two extra alphabets "waw" and "nun". The readers can make a challenge to the propagators of number 19; "produce any published Musaf (Qur'an in the Arabic Script) that has the Qur'anic Initial "N" (nun) written as "nun waw nun".

Secondly, if the INITIAL "nun" is always written as "nun waw nun" then why did he TWICE write them as a single alphabet "nun" on page 238? The black stars on page 90 are placed by Rashad in the Arabic text are to point out the alphabet "nun" whenever and wherever they do appear in the Surah Al-Qalam.

Enlarged views of the above page:

 

*********************************************************************************************************************************

 

The presentation of the 14 sets of Quranic Initials are there to help us see which letters are involved and in what constellations they occur. As you can see when reading the list, Rashad has facilitated seeing the difference by listing the letters as SS or S, or HH or H. You've also chosen to disregard Rashad's presentation of the Initials in his translation, "Quran, The Final Testament" where N consistently is spelled out as NuN. 

 

This miracle is mind-blowing. Just this fact that there are exactly 14 sets of Quranic Initials made of 14 different letters is very significant. In verse 15:87 we read; 

 

"We have given you the seven pairs and the great Quran." 

 

Until the revelation of this miracle we did not know what that meant. Now we at least know two of the meanings of this verse. One is that there would be 14 centuries between the time Muhammad was given the Quran, until the miracle of the Quran was revealed. The other is that the foundation of the miracle, the (until now) mysterious letters, consists of 14 letters and 14 sets. Subhan Allah! 

 

Now the world finally knows why God continuously says in connection with these Initials, "These letters are the proofs of this book of wisdom", "These letters are proofs of this profound scripture", "These letters are miracles of this book of wisdom." 

 

Nobody knew what God meant by this until in 1974 when Rashad Khalifa presented his findings of a divine mathematical coding based on the number 19 in the Quran. This revelation took place exactly 1406 years after the revelation of the Quran, or 19x74 years. 

 

About the letter N and it's spelling as one of the Quranic Initials:

 

There is no doubt that there will be very hard to find a copy of the Arabic Quran with the letter NuN spelled out as in the original text, just as it will be virtually impossible to find one without the two false verses (9:128-129). 

 

God however gave us a tool to reestablish the correct writing of the the very few parts of the text that were tampered with, even without an original copy in our hands. 

 

An intelligent person will look at the other 28 chapters and conclude, at least, that this is something far beyond coincidence. He or she will then look at Sura 68, the last of the initialed chapters and ask him or herself, "Could we be missing something regarding this spelling?" 

 

As we study this matter we find that according to grammatical facts as well as clear hints in the scripture itself, it is proven more probable that N should be spelled as NuN, as presented by Rashad Khalifa.    

We know that God chose the scriptural languages to be Hebrew, Arameic and Arabic. We also know that there are several connections between the three. One such connection is the usage of gematrical values connected to each letter. A gematrical value is the number value assigned to each letter in those alphabets. In those days the alphabets were used to describe numbers. The letter A=1, B=2, M=40, R=200, N=50, just to mention a few. 

This is why it is significant to see that the word for One, as in One God, which is spelled as "Wahed" in Arabic, adds up to the value of 19 in all three scriptural languages. That is the basic message since the beginning of time, as the First Commandments says, "There is no god except the One God."

The name of the letter N in Arabic is NuN, spelled out as Nun Waw Nun (with three letters). In Hebrew the letter NuN is one of three letters called “double letters”, having both a “medial” form (kefufah) and an ending form (peshuta). Thus the word “Nun” itself is spelled Nun-Vav-(final)Nun and looks as follows:

Nun

Another telling sign that the Initial N should be spelled out as NuN in Sura 68, is found in the chapter itself. The word NuN is associated with the word "fish." Verse 68:48-50 speaks of "the one who called from inside the fish", i.e. Jonah, or Zan-Noon. Jonah's name is spelled with 2 N's in verse 21:87 but is referred to as 'Ashabul Hoot' in Sura 68, without a single N. 

The the final N is known to represents someone "righteous", someone who is rewarded by being faithful and by humbling themselves before God. Is it then a coincidence that God in verse 68:48-50 describes how Jonah, whose name is spelled out with 2 N's, who finally humbled himself totally and called from inside the fish (NuN means fish) (37:143) and then was blessed by being made righteous.  

[68:50] But his Lord blessed him, and made him righteous.

Jonah is the only name mentioned in the entire sura. 

For more information on the Hebrew spelling of the word Nun, please visit:

http://www.hebrew4christians.com/Grammar/Unit_One/Aleph-Bet/Nun/nun.html

http://www.inner.org/hebleter/nun.htm

 

Another important hint as to why the last Inital NuN should be written with 2 N's instead of 1, is that with 2 N's it is written in it's final or ending form. NuN in Sura 68 is the last Initial in the entire Quran. The Arabic language is derived from the Arameic, which in turn is derived from the Hebrew, the three scriptural languages. 

 

It is to be expected that in response to these facts above, any ardent challenger of the Quranic miracle and perhaps moreso the clear conclusions it supports, will try to convince any reader that it would be wrong to correct any part of the Arabic text since it says in 15:9 that God promises that the Quran will be perfectly preserved. 

 

What those challengers sadly fail to mention to any audience, is that there are already several versions of the Quran in Arabic circulating around the world. There is no such thing as one consistent representation of the Arabic Quran (to read more about this click here). Does this mean that God failed to uphold His promise? 

 

Quite the opposite. Through the matehmatical tool and template God has given us, we are now able to easily detect which spellings are correct and what does not belong in the different versions. As it turns out, very few corrections are necessary. Only 2 verses in the entire Quran were proven to be falsely added. The overwhelming majority of the Quranic text has been untouched since it was revealed.

The total count of hi-lited "Lams" comes to 8 and NOT 7:

THREE DECEITS AND THE GAME IS OVER!!!

A FOLLOWER OF RASHAD WROTE TO ME:

However the real question is not whether he made mistakes. Remember most of his work was perhaps manual.

MY RESPONSE TO IT WAS:

Here is the MOST IMPORTANT issue... Rashad did make errors for one reason or other when he counted one "lam" short in Verse 30:21 and one "nun" extra in Sura 68...  
NOW WHAT HAPPENS IF WE CORRECT THESE ERRORS... 
DO THE NEW "FREE OF ERROR COUNTS" UPHOLD THE MIRACLE???

(Obviously, there was no rebuttal).

*********************************************************************************************************************************

The words of God in the Quran stating that only the appreciative will take heed comes to live before our very eyes when seeing literally hundreds of verifiable and straightforward proofs based on the number 19 in the Quran being completely disregarded because one or two pieces of the puzzle may still not be understandable to us! 

So far, of all the Initials, there are two counts of the letter Lam that we have not been able to verify. One is in 30:21 and one in 11:70. To put this in perspective, consider that there are altogether more than 30.000 Initials being counted in 29 Suras that make up half of the text of the Quran. Consider this as well that of all the hundreds of thousands of letters and thousands upon thousands of words and verses (6346, or 19x334), only 2 verses were found to be false, and only the spelling of the Initial NuN corrected. When the time is right we will know the answer to the two counts of Lam's that remains unknown to us at this point. 

Considering the principle applied here in challenging the entire miracle based on a minute fragment of it yet unclear to us, we'd like to draw a parallell to bring the absurdity of this 'home' God willing. 

This would be equivalent to people around Jesus saying, "ok, so you've healed the leprous, restored a blind's persons sight, created a feast for hundreds of people from one single basket of bread and revived Lazarus that was dead, BUT, and let us emphasize on the BUT here, how come Lazarus is limping??!! Huh, huh!!!?? Explain THAT if you can!! A real prophet and messenger of God would have brought him back without a limp!!" 

The REAL problem with the miracle is not the miracle itself. The REAL problem is in the conclusions supported by the person who discovered the miracle. Those conclusion were that Muslims en masse have gone astray and abandoned the Quran in favor of the fabricated sources Hadith and Sunnah, which they follow instead of the Quran. Muslims en masse have distorted their religious duties beyond recognition and polluted it with idol worship of Muhammad, Ali and so forth. THIS is the real issue being discussed here.  _______________________________________________________________________

Now lets us see Quranic proof that Every messenger is a prophet. There is no messenger who  is not a prophet.

1)[4:69] Those who obey GOD and the messenger belong with those blessed by GOD - the prophets, the saints, the martyrs, and the righteous. These are the best company

The above verse translation by rk tells us that those who obey GOD and his messenger belong with THOSE BLESSED BY GOD. As we all know GOD does NOT forget. The blessed company said by GOD are; the PROPHETS, the SAINTS, the MARTYRS, and the RIGHTEOUS. The term "MESSENGERS" is not included in verse 4:69. Does this mean that the Messengers are not among those blessed by GOD? NO it simply means that every messenger is a prophet, therefore there is no need to put Messengers in verse 4:69.

So what do you call someone sent by God who is not given a scripture? 

In verse 3:81 in the Quran we read about a messenger to come after all the prophets have come:

[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."

We know from verse 33:7 that this covenant included Muhammad:

[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.

The Quran actually tells us who the prophets were. In verse 6:89 we read, "Those were the ones to whom we have given the scripture, wisdom, and prophethood."

Thus we known that prophethood involves being given a scripture. The verses preceeding this verse, from verse 6:74, specifies those who were given prophethood. Eighteen names are mentioned: 

Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Noah,  David, Solomon, Job, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Zachariah, John, Jesus, Elias, Ismail, Elisha, Jonah, and Lot. Beyond those 18 names we must add Idris (19:56) and Muhammad, the final prophet (33:40). 

Thus, we find that the total number of prophets in the Quran is  20. Moses and Aaron however received the same scripture (37:117 & 21:48). This makes the Quran the 19th and final scripture. Do you think this is a coincidence, considering that the miracle of the Quran is also based on the number 19? 

So, if these were the prophets, i.e. messengers that were given scripture, what where Adam, Hud, Saleh, Shu'aib, Zal-Kifl and Luqman, since they did not recieve any scripture? The Quran tells us that they were messengers (26:125, 143, 178 for example). 

As it turns out every single prophet is a messenger, but not every messenger is a prophet. Each person who is sent by God to speak on His behalf IS a messenger of God. Each person who recieves new scripture from God is a prophet. What good would a prophet be if he kept the revelations given to him to himself? He has to speak to the people, convey the news, thus, he has to be a messenger as well. A messenger who is not a prophet is sent to prove and confirm what God has already sent to us (2:101, 3:81). 

If each messenger was a prophet, then there would be lots of scriptures that God never told us about. That, as we've seen in the verses above, is not the case. Furthermore it seems kind of futile to send a prophet revealing new revelations and then not inform people about it. There are however lots of messengers God never told us about:

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

The following verse also points out that there is such a thing as messengers and such a thing as prophets. 

[22:52] We did not send before you any messenger, nor a prophet, without having the devil interfere in his wishes. GOD then nullifies what the devil has done. GOD perfects His revelations. GOD is Omniscient, Most Wise.

2)[2:177] Righteousness is not turning your faces towards the east or the west. 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.

In the above verse translation of rk righteousness is defined. In the qualities of the righteous, there is NO MENTION OF BELEIVING IN THE MESSENGERS. Had it been like rk claims (that there can be a messenger who is not a prophet) then there would have been "beleive in GOD, the Last Day, the angels, the scripture, the prophets, and the messengers" in verse 2:177. It is so clear that there cannot be a messenger who is not a prophet.

There are several aspects of our belief which is not specified in this verse, yet beautifully included anyway. As always, God speaks to us in the most wise and effective manner. 

If a person truly believes in God, the Last Day, the angels, the scripture and the prophets, that person will believe everything else that is required to attain righteousness. If you take out even one of those components, a person cannot be a believer. Let us explain. 

Belief in God

Obviously people who do not believe in God are automatically excluded from this category of people. 

Belief in His angels

Then there are people who do believe in God, but do not believe in His system. That is part of what the angels represent - God's system - and all that entails. For example, God's system is that He, by choice, uses other entities to perform certain tasks to fulfill His plan. Not understanding or believing in His system causes some people to attribute power to God's creatures, and also causes some people to question God. Satan knows that God exists, without a doubt, but he rejects God's system, rejects His absolute authority. Thus he is described as a disbeliever. 

Belief in the Last Day

Then there are people who believe in God and His angels, but do not believe in the Last Day. They do not believe that they will face God one day and be held accountable. This causes them to deviate in this life, and not take the commandments seriously. Some people completely reject the idea of a retribution or a reward at the end of this life. If a person does not believe in the Hereafter, the objective for doing good cannot be tied to God and His system, but most probably to people and their system. That is not good enough (4:124, 16:97, 17:19). 

Belief in His revelations

Then there are people who believe in God, His angels and the Last Day but do not believe in God's scriptures and thus prophets. That is not good enough. God did not send His commandments and guidance for nothing. We demonstrate our belief by upholding His commandments. At the same time it helps us develop our souls (7:8). This is necessary, as we read in 6:158 and 10:91. 

Belief in ALL His revelations 

Then there are people who believe in God, His angels, the Last Day and His scripture, but not all His scriptures and thus not all His prophets. They may believe in one or two, but not in all of them. Thus they reject some of God's revelations and make distinction between God's prophets and revelations, which is not a trait of the righteous (2:136, 2:285, 3:84, 4:150). This is equivalent to saying "I like this part of what God said but not this other part." Perhaps this is why we read believe in God's "scripture", singular in 2:177. As it all is from God, it is in fact one scripture sent down in stages to us, the Quran being the final part, the final testament.   

A righteous person will...

If a person believes in God, His angels, the Last Day, His scripture and the prophets, that person WILL believe in God's messengers, because they all confirm previous scriptures. That person will also keep their chastity and observe Hajj if they can afford it and fast in the month of Ramadan, since it is explained in the scripture, eventhough it is not specified in this verse in particular. 

Now let us look at the evidence from rk; "During my Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, and before sunrise on Tuesday, Zul-Hijjah 3, 1391, December 21, 1971, I, Rashad Khalifa, the soul, the real person, not the body, was taken to some place in the universe where I was introduced to all the prophets as God's Messenger of the Covenant. I was not informed of the details and true significance of this event until Ramadan 1408" rk and the submitter say "DO NOT FOLLOW *ANY* HADHITH OTHER THAN WHAT IS IN THE QURAN. If any one beleives that the hadhith of rk which is above taken from his appendix 2 is true then you are not a submitter. In the Quran GOD did NOT put "Rashadh, messenger of Allah" therefore rk had to invent some nice stories or rather his own *hadhith* to prove his false claims of messengership.

 Everything Rashad Khalifa preached is verifiable in the Quran. He himself said that if we cannot verify something in the Quran we should reject it, then it is our duty to reject it. The incident with him being taken to the high horizon to be introduced to the prophets are found in the Quran, in verses 3:81, 33:7 and Sura 81. 

[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.

Verse No

Sura 81

81:15

I solemnly swear by the galaxies.

81:16

Precisely running in their orbits.

81:17

By the night as it falls.

81:18

And the morn as it breathes.

81:19

This is the utterance of an honorable messenger.

81:20

Authorized by the Possessor of the Throne, fully supported.

81:21

He shall be obeyed and trusted.

81:22

Your friend (Rashad) is not crazy.

81:23

He saw him at the high horizon.

81:24

He is not holding back any news.

81:25

It is not the talk of a rejected devil.

81:26

Now then, where will you go?

81:27

This is a message for all the people.

81:28

For those who wish to go straight.

81:29

Whatever you will is in accordance with the will of GOD, Lord of the universe.

Rashad's proof is the fact that God authorized him to unveil the mathematical miracle of the Quran. It is God's law that no one who is not a sincere believer are allowed access to the Quran, much less it's secret that has been hidden for 1400 years. 

[14:11] Their messengers said to them, "We are no more than humans like you, but GOD blesses whomever He chooses from among His servants. We could not possibly show you any kind of authorization, except in accordance with GOD's will. In GOD the believers shall trust.

[40:78] We have sent messengers before you - some of them we mentioned to you, and some we did not mention to you. No messenger can produce any miracle without GOD's authorization. Once GOD's judgment is issued, the truth dominates, and the falsifiers are exposed and humiliated.

Then rk went on to his mathematics to prove his messengership. BUT rk has ignored one "khalifa" to bring his count to what he desired. The evidence is a follows taken from rk's appendix 2; "The word "Khalifa" occurs in 2:30 and 38:26. The first "Khalifa" refers to a non-human "Khalifa," namely, Satan, while the second occurrence (Sura 38), refers to a human "Khalifa." If we add the numbers of suras and verses of "Rashad" (40:29, 38) and "Khalifa"
(38:26) we get 40+29+38+38+26 = 171 = 19x9. " Rk had no choice but to ignore one khalifa so he has made up his own story of GOD placing Satan as a Temporary GOD in this dominion.

This lier is exposed. The evidence is enough. Don't follow a dajjal so that you can have eternal hell.
Whether you like it or not, one of those verse DOES refer to a non-human Khalifa and the other to a human Khalifa. This is how exact God's mathematical system is. 

Part of Rashad's mission was to bring to light the final piece of the puzzle of why we are here on earth. This is a tremendous blessing which brings a very deep understanding to most of the issues facing humanity today.
