The Planting of Seeds (Children)

 Previous Screen

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   001
YUSUFALI: O mankind! reverence your Guardian-Lord, who created you from a single person, created, of like nature, His mate, and from them twain scattered (like seeds) countless men and women;- reverence Allah, through whom ye demand your mutual (rights), and (reverence) the wombs (That bore you): for Allah ever watches over you.
PICKTHAL: O mankind! Be careful of your duty to your Lord Who created you from a single soul and from it created its mate and from them twain hath spread abroad a multitude of men and women. Be careful of your duty toward Allah in Whom ye claim (your rights) of one another, and toward the wombs (that bare you). Lo! Allah hath been a watcher over you.
SHAKIR: O people! be careful of (your duty to) your Lord, Who created you from a single being and created its mate of the same (kind) and spread from these two, many men and women; and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, by Whom you demand one of another (your rights), and (to) the ties of relationship; surely Allah ever watches over you.

          You are now being taught about the Creation of man in the Image of God the Creator in “nature”! This is the understanding men and women must learn to understand.  You must learn to create a “nature” in man that will bring him to Supreme Wisdom and Thinking. This is the sign (example) that will be seen in the Christ, Messiah, and Madhi as they come forth from “each” village and people. There will be “one” who will rise above the rest and he will be the Savior! They will all look to him out of respect and honor. This will be the time when the world will know who is the Universal Thinker!  He will be able to lead all people and will be able to create again and again in the “nature” of God the Creator of the Heavens and Earth! Amen!

          You should do the same. Purify the hearts and thoughts of your children.  Send them out to find beautiful mates of the same nature. When they raise children they will have Children of the Garden. This is how you Revive the Human Family. This is how you change the condition of Earth and bring Heaven down to Earth.  Your “heart” and “thoughts” must first go up to Heaven so that you may receive spiritual knowledge and understanding. This is the only way to receive spiritual knowledge and wisdom.

Restoring the Property of Orphans

 Previous Screen

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   002
YUSUFALI: To orphans restore their property (When they reach their age), nor substitute (your) worthless things for (their) good ones; and devour not their substance (by mixing it up) with your won. For this is indeed a great sin.
PICKTHAL: Give unto orphans their wealth. Exchange not the good for the bad (in your management thereof) nor absorb their wealth into your own wealth. Lo! that would be a great sin.
SHAKIR: And give to the orphans their property, and do not substitute worthless (things) for (their) good (ones), and do not devour their property (as an addition) to your own property; this is surely a great crime.

          You must restore knowledge and wealth to the orphans.  You must not give them magic and miracles in place of reality! This will “destroy” your family and leave your next generation full of false hopes. The devil in flesh (man) will be able to come along and rule over them. This is your duty as a Guardian of the Harvest (Children).

          Those in charge of the riches in the families and communities must not waste it. You must not mix your wealth with the wealth of the orphans. What belongs to them belongs to them and not you.

Regulation in Multiple Wives

 Previous Screen

 Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   003
YUSUFALI: If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice.
PICKTHAL: And if ye fear that ye will not deal fairly by the orphans, marry of the women, who seem good to you, two or three or four; and if ye fear that ye cannot do justice (to so many) then one (only) or (the captives) that your right hands possess. Thus it is more likely that ye will not do injustice.
SHAKIR: And if you fear that you cannot act equitably towards orphans, then marry such women as seem good to you, two and three and four; but if you fear that you will not do justice (between them), then (marry) only one or what your right hands possess; this is more proper, that you may not deviate from the right course.

          If a man cannot do good by one woman he should not be able to harm others. If there ever comes a time when the community is beginning to fail you may be allowed to take more than one wife.  You do not want your women to be led by bad men. They will bring forth children and the madness will continue unless you save the children.

Marriage Dower For Women

 Previous Screen

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse  
YUSUFALI: And give the women (on marriage) their dower as a free gift; but if they, of their own good pleasure, remit any part of it to you, Take it and enjoy it with right good cheer.
PICKTHAL: And give unto the women (whom ye marry) free gift of their marriage portions; but if they of their own accord remit unto you a part thereof, then ye are welcome to absorb it (in your wealth).
SHAKIR: And give women their dowries as a free gift, but if they of themselves be pleased to give up to you a portion of it, then eat it with enjoyment and with wholesome result.

          You should give a gift to your wife since she is being taken from her family to join you. This is just to show appreciation and respect. If they do not want it they may turn it down. She has the free will to do this. This is a very important part of your life so be very careful. You must want marriage to work in order to be successful.

Helping Guide the Wealth of the Orphans

 Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   005
YUSUFALI: To those weak of understanding Make not over your property, which Allah hath made a means of support for you, but feed and clothe them therewith, and speak to them words of kindness and justice.
PICKTHAL: Give not unto the foolish (what is in) your (keeping of their) wealth, which Allah hath given you to maintain; but feed and clothe them from it, and speak kindly unto them.
SHAKIR: And do not give away your property which Allah has made for you a (means of) support to the weak of understanding, and maintain them out of (the profits of) it, and clothe them and speak to them words of honest advice.

          If you are weak and have a lack of understanding of knowledge and wisdom it will still be fine.  You should have known the very basics and this will help you in the beginning.  You must treat her with kindness and justice. THESE ARE THE WORDS YOU SPEAK TO HER! This is a commandment.

Testing (Observing ) Children (Orphans)

 Previous Screen

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   006
YUSUFALI: Make trial of orphans until they reach the age of marriage; if then ye find sound judgment in them, release their property to them; but consume it not wastefully, nor in haste against their growing up. If the guardian is well-off, Let him claim no remuneration, but if he is poor, let him have for himself what is just and reasonable. When ye release their property to them, take witnesses in their presence: But all-sufficient is Allah in taking account.
PICKTHAL: Prove orphans till they reach the marriageable age; then, if ye find them of sound judgment, deliver over unto them their fortune; and devour it not by squandering and in haste lest they should grow up Whoso (of the guardians) is rich, let him abstain generously (from taking of the property of orphans); and whoso is poor let him take thereof in reason (for his guardianship). And when ye deliver up their fortune unto orphans, have (the transaction) witnessed in their presence. Allah sufficeth as a Reckoner.
SHAKIR: And test the orphans until they attain puberty; then if you find in them maturity of intellect, make over to them their property, and do not consume it extravagantly and hastily, lest they attain to full age; and whoever is rich, let him abstain altogether, and whoever is poor, let him eat reasonably; then when you make over to them their property, call witnesses in their presence; and Allah is enough as a Reckoner.

          You should test the “nature” of your children so that you can either help them or keep them from hurting others. If they have sound judgment they may have the “secret” knowledge taught to them.  This book will lead all to the secret knowledge only if they obey all commandments in it.  You can become the master scientist and have children born in supreme teachings.  They should be given what is needed to survive and should be provided for. This is a family obligation you have to follow.  You cannot have everything while your family has nothing. You should be ashamed of yourself if you have taken on this kind of behavior.

          The property of a child who is in the custody of guardians cannot be devoured.  You cannot take the monies from the child nor can you make it part of yours. This is shameful and should not be allowed.

Rights of Inheritance

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   007
YUSUFALI: From what is left by parents and those nearest related there is a share for men and a share for women, whether the property be small or large,-a determinate share.
PICKTHAL: Unto the men (of a family) belongeth a share of that which parents and near kindred leave, and unto the women a share of that which parents and near kindred leave, whether it be little or much - a legal share.
SHAKIR: Men shall have a portion of what the parents and the near relatives leave, and women shall have a portion of what the parents and the near relatives leave, whether there is little or much of it; a stated portion.

          What is left should be shared with all.

Inheritance Includes All

 Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   008
YUSUFALI: But if at the time of division other relatives, or orphans or poor, are present, feed them out of the (property), and speak to them words of kindness and justice.
PICKTHAL: And when kinsfolk and orphans and the needy are present at the division (of the heritage), bestow on them there from and speak kindly unto them.
SHAKIR: And when there are present at the division the relatives and the orphans and the needy, give them (something) out of it and speak to them kind words.

          Every one who is part of the family must be part of the inheritance.  Everyone who was close in relations to the one who has passed away should share in a part of the inheritance.

Only the Righteous Dispose of Inheritance

 Previous Screen

 Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   009
YUSUFALI: Let those (disposing of an estate) have the same fear in their minds as they would have for their own if they had left a helpless family behind: Let them fear Allah, and speak words of appropriate (comfort).
PICKTHAL: And let those fear (in their behaviour toward orphans) who if they left behind them weak offspring would be afraid for them. So let them mind their duty to Allah, and speak justly.
SHAKIR: And let those fear who, should they leave behind them weakly offspring, would fear on their account, so let them be careful of (their duty to) Allah, and let them speak right words.

          Only the “righteous” should have guidance over the riches of the people. This goes for fathers, preachers, community leaders and every one else.

Those Who Eat Up the Wealth

 Previous Screen

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   010
YUSUFALI: Those who unjustly eat up the property of orphans, eat up a Fire into their own bodies: They will soon be enduring a Blazing Fire!
PICKTHAL: Lo! Those who devour the wealth of orphans wrongfully, they do but swallow fire into their bellies, and they will be exposed to burning flame.
SHAKIR: (As for) those who swallow the property of the orphans unjustly, surely they only swallow fire into their bellies and they shall enter burning fire.

          Those who take the wealth and knowledge and who choose not to share it freely will take in Fire (anger, doubt, and fear) into their hearts. This taking will lead to greater disease (anger, doubt, and fear) in the heart.  You will soon enter into a community and family that will not be able to do for themselves. This will leaver you open for satan  (evil men and women) to spread this disease throughout your families and communities.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   011
YUSUFALI: Allah (thus) directs you as regards your Children's (Inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females: if only daughters, two or more, their share is two-thirds of the inheritance; if only one, her share is a half. For parents, a sixth share of the inheritance to each, if the deceased left children; if no children, and the parents are the (only) heirs, the mother has a third; if the deceased Left brothers (or sisters) the mother has a sixth. (The distribution in all cases ('s) after the payment of legacies and debts. Ye know not whether your parents or your children are nearest to you in benefit. These are settled portions ordained by Allah; and Allah is All-knowing, Al-wise.
PICKTHAL: Allah chargeth you concerning (the provision for) your children: to the male the equivalent of the portion of two females, and if there be women more than two, then theirs is two-thirds of the inheritance, and if there be one (only) then the half. And to each of his parents a sixth of the inheritance, if he have a son; and if he have no son and his parents are his heirs, then to his mother appertaineth the third; and if he have brethren, then to his mother appertaineth the sixth, after any legacy he may have bequeathed, or debt (hath been paid). Your parents and your children: Ye know not which of them is nearer unto you in usefulness. It is an injunction from Allah. Lo! Allah is Knower, Wise.
SHAKIR: Allah enjoins you concerning your children: The male shall have the equal of the portion of two females; then if they are more than two females, they shall have two-thirds of what the deceased has left, and if there is one, she shall have the half; and as for his parents, each of them shall have the sixth of what he has left if he has a child, but if he has no child and (only) his two parents inherit him, then his mother shall have the third; but if he has brothers, then his mother shall have the sixth after (the payment of) a bequest he may have bequeathed or a debt; your parents and your children, you know not which of them is the nearer to you in usefulness; this is an ordinance from Allah: Surely Allah is Knowing, Wise.

God(Allah) in Islam(Peace) has set up equal shares for children of people who die and go to meet Him.  This will change families in the West and help bring an end to  hatred between children.  I will with the help of God(Allah) teach you how to guide your children after death.

 

One male and two females:

The male will get half of what is to be given to the children.

The females will share equal the half left.

 

If only females are left the share will be two thirds between them.

 

If only one daughter the share will be half.

 

If there are parents and no children they will share one third.

 

If only parents the mother will receive one third of the riches.

 

If mother and brothers and sisters are left the mother will receive one sixth of the riches.

 

This law set by God(Allah) and given to man is the best way to share the wealth.  The male receives more since he must provide for his family.  You must test your children and know if they will do good with the riches God(Allah) has given.  If they are not good people a trust must be set up to provide shelter and food for them and what is needed to survive.  If the children abuse the riches after you give money to them the money must be taken from the children and given to the community to build home and remove debts of the poor and provide shelter for the orphans.

 

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   012
YUSUFALI: In what your wives leave, your share is a half, if they leave no child; but if they leave a child, ye get a fourth; after payment of legacies and debts. In what ye leave, their share is a fourth, if ye leave no child; but if ye leave a child, they get an eighth; after payment of legacies and debts. If the man or woman whose inheritance is in question, has left neither ascendants nor descendants, but has left a brother or a sister, each one of the two gets a sixth; but if more than two, they share in a third; after payment of legacies and debts; so that no loss is caused (to any one). Thus is it ordained by Allah; and Allah is All-knowing, Most Forbearing.
PICKTHAL: And unto you belongeth a half of that which your wives leave, if they have no child; but if they have a child then unto you the fourth of that which they leave, after any legacy they may have bequeathed, or debt (they may have contracted, hath been paid). And unto them belongeth the fourth of that which ye leave if ye have no child, but if ye have a child then the eighth of that which ye leave, after any legacy ye may have bequeathed, or debt (ye may have contracted, hath been paid). And if a man or a woman have a distant heir (having left neither parent nor child), and he (or she) have a brother or a sister (only on the mother's side) then to each of them twain (the brother and the sister) the sixth, and if they be more than two, then they shall be sharers in the third, after any legacy that may have been bequeathed or debt (contracted) not injuring (the heirs by willing away more than a third of the heritage) hath been paid. A commandment from Allah. Allah is Knower, Indulgent.
SHAKIR: And you shall have half of what your wives leave if they have no child, but if they have a child, then you shall have a fourth of what they leave after (payment of) any bequest they may have bequeathed or a debt; and they shall have the fourth of what you leave if you have no child, but if you have a child then they shall have the eighth of what you leave after (payment of) a bequest you may have bequeathed or a debt; and if a man or a woman leaves property to be inherited by neither parents nor offspring, and he (or she) has a brother or a sister, then each of them two shall have the sixth, but if they are more than that, they shall be sharers in the third after (payment of) any bequest that may have been bequeathed or a debt that does not harm (others); this is an ordinance from Allah: and Allah is Knowing, Forbearing.

A man receives one half of what is left from his wife if there is no child.  If woman leaves child and husband the husband will get one fourth if the riches given to the woman by God(Allah).  All debts must be paid before any riches can be shared. 

 

If women leaves husband and child then husband will receive one eighth of the riches.

 

If woman has no children and leaves brothers and sisters the share for them will be one fourth.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   013
YUSUFALI: Those are limits set by Allah: those who obey Allah and His Messenger will be admitted to Gardens with rivers flowing beneath, to abide therein (for ever) and that will be the supreme achievement.
PICKTHAL: These are the limits (imposed by) Allah. Whoso obeyeth Allah and His messenger, He will make him enter Gardens underneath which rivers flow, where such will dwell for ever. That will be the great success.
SHAKIR: These are Allah's limits, and whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, He will cause him to enter gardens beneath which rivers flow, to abide in them; and this is the great achievement.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   014
YUSUFALI: But those who disobey Allah and His Messenger and transgress His limits will be admitted to a Fire, to abide therein: And they shall have a humiliating punishment.
PICKTHAL: And whoso disobeyeth Allah and His messenger and transgresseth His limits, He will make him enter Fire, where he will dwell for ever; his will be a shameful doom.
SHAKIR: And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger and goes beyond His limits, He will cause him to enter fire to abide in it, and he shall have an abasing chastisement.

          Those who wish to go beyond this Law (Covenant) will leave their wealth in one place or another. You have free will but this is the best way for you.

Women Guilty of Lewdness

 Previous Screen

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   015
YUSUFALI: If any of your women are guilty of lewdness, Take the evidence of four (Reliable) witnesses from amongst you against them; and if they testify, confine them to houses until death do claim them, or Allah ordain for them some (other) way.
PICKTHAL: As for those of your women who are guilty of lewdness, call to witness four of you against them. And if they testify (to the truth of the allegation) then confine them to the houses until death take them or (until) Allah appoint for them a way (through new legislation).
SHAKIR: And as for those who are guilty of an indecency from among your women, call to witnesses against them four (witnesses) from among you; then if they bear witness confine them to the houses until death takes them away or Allah opens some way for them.

          When women are guilty of lewdness you will need four (4) witnesses to bring the story to light (make known). You are not allowed to “spy” on people and your are not allowed to cast “suspicion” on them and you must “respect private property”! This is your duty as a Believer. The Law (Covenant) states just this.

          It is horrible to kill women out of lack of knowledge or rebellion (aggression). You must not kill women because of lewdness. They are instead to be confined to their homes or until death of the “evil ways” do claim them. Again, you must consider the death that does not claim one’s life. This is the “correct” way to see the Law (Covenant).

          When God the Creator opens up another way for them out of His Guidance and Mercy you should forgive them.  They will do one (1) of two things or both:

1.     Death – She must kill the spirit that is inside her heart. She must place in her heart Love, Mercy, and Compassion and must learn the Law (Covenant) again. If she does this she is allowed back in public.  If she does not then she should remain home or be allowed to go if she is grown. She will end up either changing her ways or with people of the “same” nature

2.     Another Way – She will have to seek a higher learning in the reading of the Holy Qur’an (Holy Book). She will have to become supreme in thinking and understanding.

This is the peaceful way to bring about a spiritual change in order to change the character and conduct of a person.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   016
YUSUFALI: If two men among you are guilty of lewdness, punish them both. If they repent and amend, Leave them alone; for Allah is Oft-returning, Most Merciful.
PICKTHAL: And as for the two of you who are guilty thereof, punish them both. And if they repent and improve, then let them be. Lo! Allah is ever relenting, Merciful.
SHAKIR: And as for the two who are guilty of indecency from among you, give them both a punishment; then if they repent and amend, turn aside from them; surely Allah is Oft-returning (to mercy), the Merciful.

           If two (2) men are guilty of lewdness (fighting, stealing, lying, cheating, etc) you must punish them both. No one should be allowed to bring unhappiness to the Garden. If they return to their “nature” of Love, Mercy, Compassion, Patience, and Self-defense. This is what it will take to ”Resurrect” the  heart grant give “new life”.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   017
YUSUFALI: Allah accept the repentance of those who do evil in ignorance and repent soon afterwards; to them will Allah turn in mercy: For Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.
PICKTHAL: Forgiveness is only incumbent on Allah toward those who do evil in ignorance (and) then turn quickly (in repentance) to Allah. These are they toward whom Allah relents. Allah is ever Knower, Wise.
SHAKIR: Repentance with Allah is only for those who do evil in ignorance, then turn (to Allah) soon, so these it is to whom Allah turns (mercifully), and Allah is ever Knowing, Wise.

           Those who become angry and soon repent and turn back to patience and self-restraint will be forgiven. These are the men and women who will have their disease of anger, doubt, and fear replaced with Love, Mercy, and Compassion. This is the road you must climb.  It is the same road all the Messengers (Teachers of Truth) had to follow.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   018
YUSUFALI: Of no effect is the repentance of those who continue to do evil, until death faces one of them, and he says, "Now have I repented indeed;" nor of those who die rejecting Faith: for them have We prepared a punishment most grievous.
PICKTHAL: The forgiveness is not for those who do ill-deeds until, when death attends upon one of them, he saith: Lo! I repent now; nor yet for those who die while they are disbelievers. For such We have prepared a painful doom.
SHAKIR: And repentance is not for those who go on doing evil deeds, until when death comes to one of them, he says: Surely now I repent; nor (for) those who die while they are unbelievers. These are they for whom We have prepared a painful chastisement.

          If you repent and continue to do evil you will one day become shameful people. The “only” thing that will save them in this life before they die and return to God the Creator is the death of the heart in life. They too must change the condition of their hearts. This is the Law (Covenant) that will save the Garden and rebuild the Garden once it falls.

Inheriting Women Against Their Will is Forbidden

 Previous Screen

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   019
YUSUFALI: O ye who believe! Ye are forbidden to inherit women against their will. Nor should ye treat them with harshness, that ye may Take away part of the dower ye have given them,-except where they have been guilty of open lewdness; on the contrary live with them on a footing of kindness and equity. If ye take a dislike to them it may be that ye dislike a thing, and Allah brings about through it a great deal of good.
PICKTHAL: O ye who believe! It is not lawful for you forcibly to inherit the women (of your deceased kinsmen), nor (that) ye should put constraint upon them that ye may take away a part of that which ye have given them, unless they be guilty of flagrant lewdness. But consort with them in kindness, for if ye hate them it may happen that ye hate a thing wherein Allah hath placed much good.
SHAKIR: O you who believe! it is not lawful for you that you should take women as heritage against (their) will, and do not straiten them m order that you may take part of what you have given them, unless they are guilty of manifest indecency, and treat them kindly; then if you hate them, it may be that you dislike a thing while Allah has placed abundant good in it.

          You are not allowed to inherit women against their will!  You are not allowed to treat them harshly.  You must live with them on footing of kindness and equality. Do not dislike your wife. God the Creator may have placed something good in that which you despise. This is a commandment and the Law (Covenant). 

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   020
YUSUFALI: But if ye decide to take one wife in place of another, even if ye had given the latter a whole treasure for dower, Take not the least bit of it back: Would ye take it by slander and manifest wrong?
PICKTHAL: And if ye wish to exchange one wife for another and ye have given unto one of them a sum of money (however great), take nothing from it. Would ye take it by the way of calumny and open wrong?
SHAKIR: And if you wish to have (one) wife in place of another and you have given one of them a heap of gold, then take not from it anything; would you take it by slandering (her) and (doing her) manifest wrong?

          You are not allowed to take back what you have given to women if you decide to leave them after marriage.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   021
YUSUFALI: And how could ye take it when ye have gone in unto each other, and they have Taken from you a solemn covenant?
PICKTHAL: How can ye take it (back) after one of you hath gone in unto the other, and they have taken a strong pledge from you?
SHAKIR: And how can you take it when one of you has already gone in to the other and they have made with you a firm covenant?

          You can not take it away since you have both merged hearts when you became one. When you entered her chambers (heart and body) you became “one” with her. This is the marriage that is granted by God the Creator. What matters is what is in your heart.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   022
YUSUFALI: And marry not women whom your fathers married,- except what is past: It was shameful and odious,- an abominable custom indeed.
PICKTHAL: And marry not those women whom your fathers married, except what hath already happened (of that nature) in the past. Lo! it was ever lewdness and abomination, and an evil way.
SHAKIR: And marry not woman whom your fathers married, except what has already passed; this surely is indecent and hateful, and it is an evil way.

          You are not allowed to marry the women who have married your father. It is shameful and not a part of the nature of man.  It is seen as part of the Babylon law which is no more.

YUSUFALI: Prohibited to you (For marriage) are:- Your mothers, daughters, sisters; father's sisters, Mother's sisters; brother's daughters, sister's daughters; foster-mothers (Who gave you suck), foster-sisters; your wives' mothers; your step-daughters under your guardianship, born of your wives to whom ye have gone in,- no prohibition if ye have not gone in;- (Those who have been) wives of your sons proceeding from your loins; and two sisters in wedlock at one and the same time, except for what is past; for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful;-
PICKTHAL: Forbidden unto you are your mothers, and your daughters, and your sisters, and your father's sisters, and your mother's sisters, and your brother's daughters and your sister's daughters, and your foster-mothers, and your foster-sisters, and your mothers-in-law, and your step-daughters who are under your protection (born) of your women unto whom ye have gone in - but if ye have not gone in unto them, then it is no sin for you (to marry their daughters) - and the wives of your sons who (spring) from your own loins. And (it is forbidden unto you) that ye should have two sisters together, except what hath already happened (of that nature) in the past. Lo! Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.
SHAKIR: Forbidden to you are your mothers and your daughters and your sisters and your paternal aunts and your maternal aunts and brothers' daughters and sisters' daughters and your mothers that have suckled you and your foster-sisters and mothers of your wives and your step-daughters who are in your guardianship, (born) of your wives to whom you have gone in, but if you have not gone in to them, there is no blame on you (in marrying them), and the wives of your sons who are of your own loins and that you should have two sisters together, except what has already passed; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

6.     Your Sisters daughters

7.     Your Foster daughters

8.     Your Foster Mothers

10. Mothers in  law step daughters who are under your protection form the women you have shared marriage with

These are the limits of marriage taught by Master (Great Prophet and Messiah) Moses to the people during his time on earth. It is the same Law (Covenant) for all.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   024
YUSUFALI: Also (prohibited are) women already married, except those whom your right hands possess: Thus hath Allah ordained (Prohibitions) against you: Except for these, all others are lawful, provided ye seek (them in marriage) with gifts from your property,- desiring chastity, not lust, seeing that ye derive benefit from them, give them their dowers (at least) as prescribed; but if, after a dower is prescribed, agree Mutually (to vary it), there is no blame on you, and Allah is All-knowing, All-wise.
PICKTHAL: And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess. It is a decree of Allah for you. Lawful unto you are all beyond those mentioned, so that ye seek them with your wealth in honest wedlock, not debauchery. And those of whom ye seek content (by marrying them), give unto them their portions as a duty. And there is no sin for you in what ye do by mutual agreement after the duty (hath been done). Lo! Allah is ever Knower, Wise.
SHAKIR: And all married women except those whom your right hands possess (this is) Allah's ordinance to you, and lawful for you are (all women) besides those, provided that you seek (them) with your property, taking (them) in marriage not committing fornication. Then as to those whom you profit by, give them their dowries as appointed; and there is no blame on you about what you mutually agree after what is appointed; surely Allah is Knowing, Wise.

          “All” married women are forbidden.  Women who have lost husbands should be re-married within the family and community to protect them. It is also their free will to leave. 

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   025
YUSUFALI: If any of you have not the means wherewith to wed free believing women, they may wed believing girls from among those whom your right hands possess: And Allah hath full knowledge about your faith. Ye are one from another: Wed them with the leave of their owners, and give them their dowers, according to what is reasonable: They should be chaste, not lustful, nor taking paramours: when they are taken in wedlock, if they fall into shame, their punishment is half that for free women. This (permission) is for those among you who fear sin; but it is better for you that ye practise self-restraint. And Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
PICKTHAL: And whoso is not able to afford to marry free, believing women, let them marry from the believing maids whom your right hands possess. Allah knoweth best (concerning) your faith. Ye (proceed) one from another; so wed them by permission of their folk, and give unto them their portions in kindness, they being honest, not debauched nor of loose conduct. And if when they are honourably married they commit lewdness they shall incur the half of the punishment (prescribed) for free women (in that case). This is for him among you who feareth to commit sin. But to have patience would be better for you. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
SHAKIR: And whoever among you has not within his power ampleness of means to marry free believing women, then (he may marry) of those whom your right hands possess from among your believing maidens; and Allah knows best your faith: you are (sprung) the one from the other; so marry them with the permission of their masters, and give them their dowries justly, they being chaste, not fornicating, nor receiving paramours; and when they are taken in marriage, then if they are guilty of indecency, they shall suffer half the punishment which is (inflicted) upon free women. This is for him among you who fears falling into evil; and that you abstain is better for you, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

          If you do not have a wife amongst the believing women you may marry outside the family if you choose to.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   026
YUSUFALI: Allah doth wish to make clear to you and to show you the ordinances of those before you; and (He doth wish to) turn to you (In Mercy): And Allah is All-knowing, All-wise.
PICKTHAL: Allah would explain to you and guide you by the examples of those who were before you, and would turn to you in mercy. Allah is Knower, Wise.
SHAKIR: Allah desires to explain to you, and to guide you into the ways of those before you, and to turn to you (mercifully), and Allah is Knowing, Wise.

          God the Creator does want us to know what came before us and how it changed.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   027
YUSUFALI: Allah doth wish to Turn to you, but the wish of those who follow their lusts is that ye should turn away (from Him),- far, far away.
PICKTHAL: And Allah would turn to you in mercy; but those who follow vain desires would have you go tremendously astray.
SHAKIR: And Allah desires that He should turn to you (mercifully), and those who follow (their) lusts desire that you should deviate (with) a great deviation.

          Amen!  Master (Great Prophet and Messiah) Muhammad taught the people who were those who turned away from God the Creator.  They are those who go out and make war with others. They are those who go out and cause harm to innocent people. They are those who give in to the diseases.  THIS DISEASE IS CALLED BAPTISM WITH “FIRE”!  WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN YOU ARE BAPTISED WITH FIRE?  YOU ARE “BAPTISED” WITH ANGER, DOUBT OF BELIEF IN PATIENCE AND SELF-RESTRAINT, AND THE FEAR OF LOOSING LIFE AND WEALTH! You are overtaken with “emotions”.  You are taught you will have to see a “Great War” on Earth “before” you see any “Peace”! This is the “Biggest Lie” that has ever been told! This is the “trick of satan”!

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   028
YUSUFALI: Allah doth wish to lighten your (difficulties): For man was created Weak (in flesh).
PICKTHAL: Allah would make the burden light for you, for man was created weak.
SHAKIR: Allah desires that He should make light your burdens, and man is created weak.

          God the Creator does want to lighten your burdens as it relates to knowledge and life. This is a commandment for the teachers and preachers. Teach them what will help them and not what will take them to Hell.  You must not take advantage of the people.

          When man is created in “flesh” he has been created of this life.  He must be taught the ways of the Seven Heavens so that he may lift his “heart” up to God the Creator of the Heavens and Earth. This is what you must learn to do.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   029
YUSUFALI: O ye who believe! Eat not up your property among yourselves in vanities: But let there be amongst you Traffic and trade by mutual good-will: Nor kill (or destroy) yourselves: for verily Allah hath been to you Most Merciful!
PICKTHAL: O ye who believe! Squander not your wealth among yourselves in vanity, except it be a trade by mutual consent, and kill not one another. Lo! Allah is ever Merciful unto you.
SHAKIR: O you who believe! do not devour your property among yourselves falsely, except that it be trading by your mutual consent; and do not kill your people; surely Allah is Merciful to you.

          You should not eat up your wealth amongst yourselves. The monies should travel amongst the poor just as it travels freely amongst the rich.  You should not kill your heart and you must not take life from others. You save the hearts and lives of others. Do not kill your people by placing hard burdens on them.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   030
YUSUFALI: If any do that in rancour and injustice,- soon shall We cast them into the Fire: And easy it is for Allah.
PICKTHAL: Whoso doeth that through aggression and injustice, we shall cast him into Fire, and that is ever easy for Allah.
SHAKIR: And whoever does this aggressively and unjustly, We will soon cast him into fire; and this is easy to Allah.

          Those who do this will be cast into Fire (anger, doubt of belief in patience and self-restraint, and fear of loosing life and wealth). This will create a disease inside the heart and will corrupt your thoughts. You will soon enough take on actions which will become harmful to you, your family, and your community. This “Fire” is your “Baptism”.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   031
YUSUFALI: If ye (but) eschew the most heinous of the things which ye are forbidden to do, We shall expel out of you all the evil in you, and admit you to a “
gate” of great honor.
PICKTHAL: If ye avoid the great (things) which ye are forbidden, We will remit from you your evil deeds and make you enter at a noble gate.
SHAKIR: If you shun the great sins which you are forbidden, We will do away with your small sins and cause you to enter an honorable place of entering.

           If you turn away form the great sins which are forbidden you will be “forgiven”! This is the duty of the people who lead in the communities.  There should come a time when people will be forgiven and allowed to start over in life.  If you do this you can “still” be held to honor.  Those who are in the community and family will “forgive” you and will begin to Love you again. This is the “Forgiveness” and teaching that must become known to “all”! This is the “only” way to remain safe and in peace.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   032
YUSUFALI: And in no wise covet those things in which Allah Hath bestowed His gifts More freely on some of you than on others: To men is allotted what they earn, and to women what they earn: But ask Allah of His bounty. For Allah hath full knowledge of all things.
PICKTHAL: And covet not the thing in which Allah hath made some of you excel others. Unto men a fortune from that which they have earned, and unto women a fortune from that which they have earned. (Envy not one another) but ask Allah of His bounty. Lo! Allah is ever Knower of all things.
SHAKIR: And do not covet that by which Allah has made some of you excel others; men shall have the benefit of what they earn and women shall have the benefit of what they earn; and ask Allah of His grace; surely Allah knows all things.

          Do not worry about wealth and knowledge of others. God the Creator of the Heavens and Earth gives to all of us but some have more than others.  Those who have more than others should share freely. This is also a commandment. What knowledge you have gained you have earned. There should never be poor people as long as there are rich people. This is shameful and those who do this should be ashamed. Once God the Creator of the Heavens and Earth comes things will change and the poor will rise in knowledge and wisdom. This is when you know you have been in the presence of the Spirit (Truth) of God the Creator being taught by His Messenger (Teacher of Truth).

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   033
YUSUFALI: To (benefit) every one, We have appointed shares and heirs to property left by parents and relatives. To those, also, to whom your right hand was pledged, give their due portion. For truly Allah is witness to all things.
PICKTHAL: And unto each We have appointed heirs of that which parents and near kindred leave; and as for those with whom your right hands have made a covenant, give them their due. Lo! Allah is ever Witness over all things.
SHAKIR: And to every one We have appointed heirs of what parents and near relatives leave; and as to those with whom your rights hands have ratified agreements, give them their portion; surely Allah is a witness over all things.

          Men are the Protectors and Maintainers (Not Masters) of Women

 Previous Screen

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   034
YUSUFALI: Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all).
PICKTHAL: Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them. Then if they obey you, seek not a way against them. Lo! Allah is ever High, Exalted, Great.
SHAKIR: Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.

          The duty of the husband and man is to “protect” and “maintain” the woman!  He is not to be her master. The duty of the woman is to raise the family and provide education for the community. She is given free will to live her life as long as they agree before they are married and the husband understands her ambitions in life. He has to agree to his part also.  Getting to know these things will help save the marriage.

  Mediation During Marriage Disagreements

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   035
YUSUFALI: If ye fear a breach between them twain, appoint (two) arbiters, one from his family, and the other from hers; if they wish for peace, Allah will cause their reconciliation: For Allah hath full knowledge, and is acquainted with all things.
PICKTHAL: And if ye fear a breach between them twain (the man and wife), appoint an arbiter from his folk and an arbiter from her folk. If they desire amendment Allah will make them of one mind. Lo! Allah is ever Knower, Aware.
SHAKIR: And if you fear a breach between the two, then appoint judge from his people and a judge from her people; if they both desire agreement, Allah will effect harmony between them, surely Allah is Knowing, Aware.

          You may have one person from each side come in to help mediate and to help solve the disagreement between them. They may “only” come if they wish for peace.  The teaching of the Holy Qur’an (Holy Book) will help bring Love and Mercy back to the marriage if there is true Love of God between them. This is for sure.

  Ten (10) Basic Commandments

 Previous Screen

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   036
YUSUFALI: Serve Allah, and join not any partners with Him; and do good- to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, those in need, neighbors who are near, neighbors who are strangers, the companion by your side, the wayfarer (ye meet), and what your right hands possess: For Allah loves not the arrogant, the vainglorious;-
PICKTHAL: And serve Allah. Ascribe no thing as partner unto Him. (Show) kindness unto parents, and unto near kindred, and orphans, and the needy, and unto the neighbor who is of kin (unto you) and the neighbor who is not of kin, and the fellow-traveler and the wayfarer and (the slaves) whom your right hands possess. Lo! Allah loves not such as are proud and boastful,
SHAKIR: And serve Allah and do not associate any thing with Him and be good to the parents and to the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the neighbor of (your) kin and the alien neighbor, and the companion in a journey and the wayfarer and those whom your right hands possess; surely Allah does not love him who is proud, boastful;

1.          Do not associate any thing with God –This is the worse of any offense you can commit.  This will bring you to Hell in this life and when you Return to God.  This is happens by not following the Law (Covenant) of God. If you disobey the Law (Covenant) you have chosen the law of satan and this is known as rebellion.  If you associate anger towards your brother, doubt in the Law (Covenant) or fear man more than God you are in error!

2.         Be good to Both Parents –You must honor both of your parents! They are the people who were entrusted with guiding you in life.  This is a must!

3.        Be good to Near Kin –Your near relatives are the closest to you after God!  Your near relatives include your blood family that God assigned to you. 

4.        Be good to Orphans –Those who have no one to car for them need help. Those who have no knowledge need help in order maintain life and to enjoy the same life as everyone else does.  This the right of the orphan! They have ownership in this world just as you do.  If you just help the orphan you would see how different society would be.  If you change the condition of the hearts of the orphans, all society will be different. Do not abuse the orphans that come to you for help.  You must not use them for your own personal use (sex, exploitation, murder, spies, prostitution). If you do this you have misused your right to guide the people.  You are then seen as the pharaoh!!!  This is forbidden in Islam.  Amen!

5.         Be good to the Needy –Those who need must have your love and care.  You must learn to have a heart for all people. This is part of your duty as s Believer.  The more you help the needy the more friends you gain. This is the simplest way to see life.  You are children with the heart of God inside of your bodies!  You have the compassion and mercy needed to see into every part of creation. 

6.         Be good to Neighbors that are near –Those who are near you need your help if they are your neighbors.  If they are part of another community you must be good to them and help them if they are in need of your help.  This is part of the Law (Covenant).

7.         Be good to Neighbors who are strangers –Your neighbors who are strangers are also entitled to peace and compassion.  If you do not know them and you bring harm to them you could bring harm to someone who is not worthy of it.  You must show that you have the most excellent of conduct and character. This will make you a good leader and you will never loose the trust of the people as long as you are honesty and equal.  This is the qualities of excellence.

8.          Be good to the Companion By your side –Your spouse (man with woman ; woman with man) is what God has given to you for you to build the best foundation to plant a harvest (children).  You must be prepared to raise children that are good and obedient to God.  You have to do this if you are change the condition of your next generation.

9.         Be good to the Traveler –The people who are coming into your community are to be treated the same as the people who already live there.  If you show Supreme conduct and character you will be able to win them over.  Honesty will build lasting relationships.

10.  Be good to the One’s Under your control –The people who are under your control or those who have been disobedient and are serving sentences in prisons. These people must be treated good also.  Remember, every life you save and turn around is another life on the correct path.  You must give men and women a chance to repent and must give them a chance to make good what was once bad.  This will bring joy and inspiration to the heart of the man or woman that has been Resurrected (reborn or repented)!  Amen!  This is the best society.  A society that has love for all people and gives those who want a chance to grow in life hope.  You are the one that must do this.

 

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   037
YUSUFALI: (Nor) those who are niggardly or enjoin niggardliness on others, or hide the bounties which Allah hath bestowed on them; for We have prepared, for those who resist Faith, a punishment that steeps them in contempt;-
PICKTHAL: Who hoard their wealth and enjoin avarice on others, and hide that which Allah hath bestowed upon them of His bounty. For disbelievers We prepare a shameful doom;
SHAKIR: Those who are niggardly and bid people to be niggardly and hide what Allah has given them out of His grace; and We have prepared for the unbelievers a disgraceful chastisement.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   038
YUSUFALI: Not those who spend of their substance, to be seen of men, but have no faith in Allah and the Last Day: If any take the Evil One for their intimate, what a dreadful intimate he is!
PICKTHAL: And (also) those who spend their wealth in order to be seen of men, and believe not in Allah nor the Last Day. Whoso taketh Satan for a comrade, a bad comrade hath he.
SHAKIR: And those who spend their property (in alms) to be seen of the people and do not believe in Allah nor in the last day; and as for him whose associate is the Shaitan, an evil associate is he!

          Those who spend their substance to be seen of men are fools. They have no Faith (patience and self-restraint).  If anyone takes the Evil One (men of sin) for intimate (friendship), you will find a dreadful penalty waiting for you. If his daughters are like him you must run from them also.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   039
YUSUFALI: And what burden Were it on them if they had faith in Allah and in the Last Day, and they spent out of what Allah hath given them for sustenance? For Allah hath full knowledge of them.
PICKTHAL: What have they (to fear) if they believe in Allah and the Last Day and spend (aright) of that which Allah hath bestowed upon them, when Allah is ever Aware of them (and all they do)?
SHAKIR: And what (harm) would it have done them if they had believed in Allah and the last day and spent (benevolently) of what Allah had given them? And Allah knows them.

          There is no burden placed on you if you have patience and self-restraint and spend freely out of the wealth and knowledge you have been given. If you believe in the Last Day (Resurrection) you can repent and be forgiven.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   040
YUSUFALI: Allah is never unjust in the least degree: If there is any good (done), He doubleth it, and giveth from His own presence a great reward.
PICKTHAL: Lo! Allah wrongeth not even of the weight of an ant; and if there is a good deed, He will double it and will give (the doer) from His presence an immense reward.
SHAKIR: Surely Allah does not do injustice to the weight of an atom, and if it is a good deed He multiplies it and gives from Himself a great reward.

          Any good you have done will be doubled for the “writers”. How is this?  There will be one who will come along and “add” to the River of Learning. This is a promise. Any good you place in your family and children will be doubled and returned.  The more good you leave behind the easier it will be for others to find their way. It will get to the point when you will have “perfected” the knowledge and understanding.  You will make yourself safer and safer.  All teaching you give out will be doubled as it is placed in the hearts of others. This is what will bring back the Garden. This is a commandment.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   041
YUSUFALI: How then if We brought from each people a witness, and We brought thee as a witness against these people!
PICKTHAL: But how (will it be with them) when We bring of every people a witness, and We bring thee (O Muhammad) a witness against these?
SHAKIR: How will it be, then, when We bring from every people a witness and bring you as a witness against these?

          What will come before the Resurrection of the hearts of all will be birds or messengers being sent out with the message.  Once the commandments enter the hearts and minds of others it will be unable to stop the truth from spreading. Those you teach will go off teaching others.  They will come back to you as their teacher to learn more. The teachings against evil and false hood will be “doubled”. This is the reality you must take as a commandment and help make true.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   042
YUSUFALI: On that day those who reject Faith and disobey the messenger will wish that the earth Were made one with them: But never will they hide a single fact from Allah!
PICKTHAL: On that day those who disbelieved and disobeyed the messenger will wish that they were level with the ground, and they can hide no fact from Allah.
SHAKIR: On that day will those who disbelieve and disobey the Messenger desire that the earth were levelled with them, and they shall not hide any word from Allah.

          Those who reject Faith (patience and self-restraint) will have the people see what evil they have done.  It will be shameful.

  Pray with a Clear and Pure Mind

 Previous Screen

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   043
YUSUFALI: O ye who believe! Approach not prayers with a mind befogged, until ye can understand all that ye say,- nor in a state of ceremonial impurity (Except when travelling on the road), until after washing your whole body. If ye are ill, or on a journey, or one of you cometh from offices of nature, or ye have been in contact with women, and ye find no water, then take for yourselves clean sand or earth, and rub therewith your faces and hands. For Allah doth blot out sins and forgive again and again.
PICKTHAL: O ye who believe! Draw not near unto prayer when ye are drunken, till ye know that which ye utter, nor when ye are polluted, save when journeying upon the road, till ye have bathed. And if ye be ill, or on a journey, or one of you cometh from the closet, or ye have touched women, and ye find not water, then go to high clean soil and rub your faces and your hands (therewith). Lo! Allah is Benign, Forgiving.
SHAKIR: O you who believe! do not go near prayer when you are Intoxicated until you know (well) what you say, nor when you are under an obligation to perform a bath-- unless (you are) travelling on the road-- until you have washed yourselves; and if you are sick, or on a journey, or one of you come from the privy or you have touched the women, and you cannot find water, betake yourselves to pure earth, then wipe your faces and your hands; surely Allah is Pardoning, Forgiving.

           You must not enter into your prayers with a mind that is clouded with other thoughts. The more you take to patience and self-restraint the easier it will be for you to pray with inspirational thought.  Your whole body must be washed clean before you pray. This is needed in the physical part and also in the spiritual part. These are the Seven parts of the body that must be cleansed spiritually:

We must approach this the same way we must teach it to our children. The signs (examples) are the same.

Parts of the Body (Their Senses)

Previous Screen

          There are Seven main parts of the body that deal with the behavior of the child.  Here they are and this is what lessons you should teach them as early as you can to define these body parts.

1.    Heart – (Pumps the: Blood in the Body)  Teach them to know that the heart keeps the body living. Teach them to touch their hearts when they have done something wrong. Tell them of the Bad Blood that is being sent throughout their bodies when they are bad. Tell them that once you have done so much evil the heart will send Bad Blood to the Body. They should know that a Bad Heart makes them smell bad. They should be taught to wash themselves at night and to stop being bad children.

2.    Hands – (Holding and Helping others) Teach the child that their hands are not to be used for fighting, stealing, or to bring harm to others.

3.    Feet – (Walk) Teach the child to turn a walk away from fights and any other kind of violence.

4.    Eyes – (See) Teach the child not to look at what other children have or become jealous of what they have. This will cause the child to walk and strike others with their hands out of anger and jealously.

5.    Ears – (Hear) Teach the child to walk away from bad talk. Teach them to believe truth. Teach them to listen to stories told by other children to make sure they are not headed into trouble.

6.    Nose – (Smell) They should always leave away when they smell the Fire that comes from bad language and conduct.

7.    Mouth – (Taste and Speak) They should walk away from those who use their mouths to start trouble. Their mouths should never be used to bring about confusion or doubt of patience and self-restraint.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   044
YUSUFALI: Hast thou not turned Thy vision to those who were given a portion of the Book? they traffic in error, and wish that ye should lose the right path.
PICKTHAL: Seest thou not those unto whom a portion of the Scripture hath been given, how they purchase error, and seek to make you (Muslims) err from the right way?
SHAKIR: Have you not considered those to whom a portion of the Book has been given? They buy error and desire that you should go astray from the way.

          The people who were given a portion of the book traffic in error because they do not understand or see the reality of things. They live life as if they are in the belly of a whale. They just bounce from place to place not knowing when they could be thrown to shore.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   045
YUSUFALI: But Allah hath full knowledge of your enemies: Allah is enough for a protector, and Allah is enough for a Helper.
PICKTHAL: Allah knoweth best (who are) your enemies. Allah is sufficient as a Guardian, and Allah is sufficient as a Supporter.
SHAKIR: And Allah best knows your enemies; and Allah suffices as a Guardian, and Allah suffices as a Helper.

          The help stated in this book the Holy Qur’an (Holy Book) is all you will need to survive against satan (evil men).

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   046
YUSUFALI: Of the Jews there are those who displace words from their (right) places, and say: "We hear and we disobey"; and "Hear what is not Heard"; and "Ra'ina"; with a twist of their tongues and a slander to Faith. If only they had said: "What hear and we obey"; and "Do hear"; and "Do look at us"; it would have been better for them, and more proper; but Allah hath cursed them for their Unbelief; and but few of them will believe.
PICKTHAL: Some of those who are Jews change words from their context and say: "We hear and disobey; hear thou as one who heareth not" and "Listen to us!" distorting with their tongues and slandering religion. If they had said: "We hear and we obey: hear thou, and look at us" it had been better for them, and more upright. But Allah hath cursed them for their disbelief, so they believe not, save a few.
SHAKIR: Of those who are Jews (there are those who) alter words from their places and say: We have heard and we disobey and: Hear, may you not be made to hear! and: Raina, distorting (the word) with their tongues and taunting about religion; and if they had said (instead): We have heard and we obey, and hearken, and unzurna it would have been better for them and more upright; but Allah has cursed them on account of their unbelief, so they do not believe but a little.

          We will concentrate on those who believe. This will become false when the Resurrection of the heart and thoughts change for all of us. The Believers will be of the Jews, Muslims, and Christians, and Buddhists, and Hindu (once they see reality). All of us will come back to these first five (5) books of the Holy Qur’an (Holy Book) and each will perfect our way. You will then become Believers and will no longer be enemies.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   047
YUSUFALI: O ye People of the Book! believe in what We have (now) revealed, confirming what was (already) with you, before We change the face and fame of some (of you) beyond all recognition, and turn them hindwards, or curse them as We cursed the Sabbath-breakers, for the decision of Allah Must be carried out.
PICKTHAL: O ye unto whom the Scripture hath been given! Believe in what We have revealed confirming that which ye possess, before We destroy countenances so as to confound them, or curse them as We cursed the Sabbath-breakers (of old time). The commandment of Allah is always executed.
SHAKIR: O you who have been given the Book! believe that which We have revealed, verifying what you have, before We alter faces then turn them on their backs, or curse them as We cursed the violaters of the Sabbath, and the command of Allah shall be executed.

          Those who doubt this word cannot go against it no matter what they do.  Those who broke the Sabbath and replaced helping all people with resting while others became slaves will have their fame and face removed from themselves. Peace and friendship is better than having an enemy. 

          The Will of God the Creator will be carried out. People should just end what they are doing that is wrong and allow others to get on with their lives.  No book of understanding can ever come against the Qur’an. This is indeed a book of Love, Peace, and Mercy.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   048
YUSUFALI: Allah forgiveth not that partners should be set up with Him; but He forgiveth anything else, to whom He pleaseth; to set up partners with Allah is to devise a sin Most heinous indeed.
PICKTHAL: Lo! Allah forgiveth not that a partner should be ascribed unto Him. He forgiveth (all) save that to whom He will. Whoso ascribeth partners to Allah, he hath indeed invented a tremendous sin.
SHAKIR: Surely Allah does not forgive that anything should be associated with Him, and forgives what is besides that to whomsoever He pleases; and whoever associates anything with Allah, he devises indeed a great sin.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   049
YUSUFALI: Hast thou not turned Thy vision to those who claim sanctity for themselves? Nay-but Allah Doth sanctify whom He pleaseth. But never will they fail to receive justice in the least little thing.
PICKTHAL: Hast thou not seen those who praise themselves for purity? Nay, Allah purifieth whom He will, and they will not be wronged even the hair upon a date-stone.
SHAKIR: Have you not considered those who attribute purity to themselves? Nay, Allah purifies whom He pleases; and they shall not be wronged the husk of a date stone.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   050
YUSUFALI: Behold! how they invent a lie against Allah! but that by itself is a manifest sin!
PICKTHAL: See, how they invent lies about Allah! That of itself is flagrant sin.
SHAKIR: See how they forge the lie against Allah, and this is sufficient as a manifest sin.

          Setting up partners with God the Creator is a sin.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   051
YUSUFALI: Hast thou not turned Thy vision to those who were given a portion of the Book? they believe in sorcery and Evil, and say to the Unbelievers that they are better guided in the (right) way Than the believers!
PICKTHAL: Hast thou not seen those unto whom a portion of the Scripture hath been given, how they believe in idols and false deities, and how they say of those (idolaters) who disbelieve: "These are more rightly guided than those who believe"?
SHAKIR: Have you not seen those to whom a portion of the Book has been given? They believe in idols and false deities and say of those who disbelieve: These are better guided in the path than those who believe.

           You should not turn yourselves to those who teach magic and sorcery.  Even worse are those who teach evil (fighting)! These are the things which will destroy you and your families. This is a commandment.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   052
YUSUFALI: They are (men) whom Allah hath cursed: And those whom Allah Hath cursed, thou wilt find, have no one to help.
PICKTHAL: Those are they whom Allah hath cursed, and he whom Allah hath cursed, thou (O Muhammad) wilt find for him no helper.
SHAKIR: Those are they whom Allah has cursed, and whomever Allah curses you shall not find any helper for him.

          These people carry the curse of not knowing “reality”. This is the punishment for allowing yourselves to go away from the truth.  You are taken for fools by others and become their servants.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   053
YUSUFALI: Have they a share in dominion or power? Behold, they give not a farthing to their fellow-men?
PICKTHAL: Or have they even a share in the Sovereignty? Then in that case, they would not give mankind even the speck on a date-stone.
SHAKIR: Or have they a share in the kingdom? But then they would not give to people even the speck in the date stone.

          These people you trust can deliver nothing to you.  If they teach fighting or magic (miracles) they are fools and you should run away from them.  You need someone who will give you knowledge you can take home and build for yourselves. There should come a time when you are able to build things yourself without the need of an overseer! You must see the reality in this statement. This is not only a commandment but the duty of every Believer.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   054
YUSUFALI: Or do they envy mankind for what Allah hath given them of his bounty? but We had already given the people of Abraham the Book and Wisdom, and conferred upon them a great kingdom.
PICKTHAL: Or are they jealous of mankind because of that which Allah of His bounty hath bestowed upon them? For We bestowed upon the house of Abraham (of old) the Scripture and wisdom, and We bestowed on them a mighty kingdom.
SHAKIR: Or do they envy the people for what Allah has given them of His grace? But indeed We have given to Ibrahim's children the Book and the wisdom, and We have given them a grand kingdom.

          The words of Master (Great Prophet and Messiah) Abraham have already been given to the people.  The book is all the same. We have the “same” infinite knowledge and wisdom given to Master (Great Prophet and Messiah) Abraham.  We have the proof here!  You too are to begin to build a Great Kingdom!  It is your duty and a commandment. Whatever you see in relation to the Masters (Great Prophets and Messiahs) is the “same” for you. Spend time meditating on it and you will find the inner meanings of the heart and mind.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   055
YUSUFALI: Some of them believed, and some of them averted their faces from him: And enough is Hell for a burning fire.
PICKTHAL: And of them were (some) who believed therein and of them were (some) who turned away from it. Hell is sufficient for (their) burning.
SHAKIR: So of them is he who believes in him, and of them is he who turns away from him, and hell is sufficient to burn.

          Some of them believed while others turned their faces to darkness and shame. They brought on themselves anger, doubt of belief in patience and self-restraint, and the fear of loosing life and wealth.  This creates problems for those who take to this type of teaching.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   056
YUSUFALI: Those who reject our Signs, We shall soon cast into the Fire: as often as their skins are roasted through, We shall change them for fresh skins, that they may taste the penalty: for Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.
PICKTHAL: Lo! Those who disbelieve Our revelations, We shall expose them to the Fire. As often as their skins are consumed We shall exchange them for fresh skins that they may taste the torment. Lo! Allah is ever Mighty, Wise.
SHAKIR: (As for) those who disbelieve in Our communications, We shall make them enter fire; so oft as their skins are thoroughly burned, We will change them for other skins, that they may taste the chastisement; surely Allah is Mighty, Wise.

          The skin or outer sight of those who reject truth and Faith (patience and self-restraint) will burn with problem upon problem.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   057
YUSUFALI: But those who believe and do deeds of righteousness, We shall soon admit to Gardens, with rivers flowing beneath,- their eternal home: Therein shall they have companions pure and holy: We shall admit them to shades, cool and ever deepening.
PICKTHAL: And as for those who believe and do good works, We shall make them enter Gardens underneath which rivers flow - to dwell therein for ever; there for them are pure companions - and We shall make them enter plenteous shade.
SHAKIR: And (as for) those who believe and do good deeds, We will make them enter gardens beneath which rivers flow, to abide in them for ever; they shall have therein pure mates, and We shall make them enter a dense shade.

          Those who believe and do deeds of righteousness will have companions who will be the same.  Once you begin building the Garden you will see a day when “everyone” will be Holy and Pure. This is the “living miracle” that must be spoken from the mouth of the preacher and teacher. These words carry commandments that are powerful when taken into the heart. This is a commandment.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   058
YUSUFALI: Allah doth command you to render back your Trusts to those to whom they are due; And when ye judge between man and man, that ye judge with justice: Verily how excellent is the teaching which He giveth you! For Allah is He Who heareth and seeth all things.
PICKTHAL: Lo! Allah commandeth you that ye restore deposits to their owners, and, if ye judge between mankind, that ye judge justly. Lo! comely is this which Allah admonisheth you. Lo! Allah is ever Hearer, Seer.
SHAKIR: Surely Allah commands you to make over trusts to their owners and that when you judge between people you judge with justice; surely Allah admonishes you with what is excellent; surely Allah is Seeing, Hearing.

          You must spread knowledge freely and must judge with justice.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   059
YUSUFALI: O ye who believe! Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger, and those charged with authority among you. If ye differ in anything among yourselves, refer it to Allah and His Messenger, if ye do believe in Allah and the Last Day: That is best, and most suitable for final determination.
PICKTHAL: O ye who believe! Obey Allah, and obey the messenger and those of you who are in authority; and if ye have a dispute concerning any matter, refer it to Allah and the messenger if ye are (in truth) believers in Allah and the Last Day. That is better and more seemly in the end.
SHAKIR: O you who believe! obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority from among you; then if you quarrel about anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger, if you believe in Allah and the last day; this is better and very good in the end.

          If you differ in anything you must consult the Holy Qur’an (Holy Book).  If you believe in forgiveness and repentance it will be best for you.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   060
YUSUFALI: Hast thou not turned Thy vision to those who declare that they believe in the revelations that have come to thee and to those before thee? Their (real) wish is to resort together for judgment (in their disputes) to the Evil One, though they were ordered to reject him. But Satan's wish is to lead them astray far away (from the right).
PICKTHAL: Hast thou not seen those who pretend that they believe in that which is revealed unto thee and that which was revealed before thee, how they would go for judgment (in their disputes) to false deities when they have been ordered to abjure them? Satan would mislead them far astray.
SHAKIR: Have you not seen those who assert that they believe in what has been revealed to you and what was revealed before you? They desire to summon one another to the judgment of the Shaitan, though they were commanded to deny him, and the Shaitan desires to lead them astray into a remote error.

          Many of you go back to Babylon for your law. You believe in killing as long as it is with mercy. You believe in attacking people because you fear them out of suspicion. One day these people will be peacefully replaced with leaders who are better. This commandment will come true.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   061
YUSUFALI: When it is said to them: "Come to what Allah hath revealed, and to the Messenger": Thou seest the Hypocrites avert their faces from thee in disgust.
PICKTHAL: And when it is said unto them: Come unto that which Allah hath revealed and unto the messenger, thou seest the hypocrites turn from thee with aversion.
SHAKIR: And when it is said to them: Come to what Allah has revealed and to the Messenger, you will see the hypocrites turning away from you with (utter) aversion.

          The truth has been spoken and is in agreement with God the Creator of the Heavens and Earth.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   062
YUSUFALI: How then, when they are seized by misfortune, because of the deeds which they hands have sent forth? Then their come to thee, swearing by Allah: "We meant no more than good-will and conciliation!"
PICKTHAL: How would it be if a misfortune smote them because of that which their own hands have sent before (them)? Then would they come unto thee, swearing by Allah that they were seeking naught but harmony and kindness.
SHAKIR: But how will it be when misfortune befalls them on account of what their hands have sent before? Then they will come to you swearing by Allah: We did not desire (anything) but good and concord.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   063
YUSUFALI: Those men,-Allah knows what is in their hearts; so keep clear of them, but admonish them, and speak to them a word to reach their very souls.
PICKTHAL: Those are they, the secrets of whose hearts Allah knoweth. So oppose them and admonish them, and address them in plain terms about their souls.
SHAKIR: These are they of whom Allah knows what is in their hearts; therefore turn aside from them and admonish them, and speak to them effectual words concerning themselves.

          God has shown you what diseases that are inside the heart. They are anger, doubt, and fear. Stay clear of preachers and teachers and leaders who have this inside their heart.  They are sick and need help. Speak something of a word to enter their souls (hearts).

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   064
YUSUFALI: We sent not a messenger, but to be obeyed, in accordance with the will of Allah. If they had only, when they were unjust to themselves, come unto thee and asked Allah's forgiveness, and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah indeed Oft-returning, Most Merciful.
PICKTHAL: We sent no messenger save that he should be obeyed by Allah's leave. And if, when they had wronged themselves, they had but come unto thee and asked forgiveness of Allah, and asked forgiveness of the messenger, they would have found Allah Forgiving, Merciful.
SHAKIR: And We did not send any messenger but that he should be obeyed by Allah's permission; and had they, when they were unjust to themselves, come to you and asked forgiveness of Allah and the Messenger had (also) asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah Oft-returning (to mercy), Merciful.

          Only those who come with the Will of Love, Mercy, and Compassion can be followed. They will become the best teachers.  If these people would just “go” to the Messenger (Teacher of Truth) and ask forgiveness, the Messenger could help them get back on the path.  All who turn back from their evil ways will be forgiven if they change the condition of their hearts.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   065
YUSUFALI: But no, by the Lord, they can have no (real) Faith, until they make thee judge in all disputes between them, and find in their souls no resistance against Thy decisions, but accept them with the fullest conviction.
PICKTHAL: But nay, by thy Lord, they will not believe (in truth) until they make thee judge of what is in dispute between them and find within themselves no dislike of that which thou decidest, and submit with full submission.
SHAKIR: But no! by your Lord! they do not believe (in reality) until they make you a judge of that which has become a matter of disagreement among them, and then do not find any straitness in their hearts as to what you have decided and submit with entire submission.

          The people will not be able to find real Faith (patience and self-restraint) until they raise a Messenger from amongst themselves. There must be “many” who can help end the wars and lack of knowledge being placed on the people.

The Sacrifice Ordered By the Messengers

 Previous Screen

 Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   066
YUSUFALI: If We had ordered them to sacrifice their lives or to leave their homes, very few of them would have done it: But if they had done what they were (actually) told, it would have been best for them, and would have gone farthest to strengthen their (faith);
PICKTHAL: And if We had decreed for them: Lay down your lives or go forth from your dwellings, but few of them would have done it; though if they did what they are exhorted to do it would be better for them, and more strengthening;
SHAKIR: And if We had prescribed for them: Lay down your lives or go forth from your homes, they would not have done it except a few of them; and if they had done what they were admonished, it would have certainly been better for them and best in strengthening (them);

          You are not taught to sacrifice your lives for death and aggression.  You are taught to dedicate your life to knowledge and peace. This is best for you as it is written above.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   067
YUSUFALI: And We should then have given them from our presence a great reward;
PICKTHAL: And then We should bestow upon them from Our presence an immense reward,
SHAKIR: And then We would certainly have given them from Ourselves a great reward.

          Man must give his children to good and righteous deeds. This is the great reward that will come from amongst you.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   068
YUSUFALI: And We should have shown them the Straight Way.
PICKTHAL: And should guide them unto a straight path.
SHAKIR: And We would certainly have guided them in the right path.

         

All are Safe in the Company of God and His Messenger (The Fellowship)

 Previous Screen

 Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   069
YUSUFALI: All who obey Allah and the messenger are in the company of those on whom is the Grace of Allah,- of the prophets (who teach), the sincere (lovers of Truth), the witnesses (who testify), and the Righteous (who do good): Ah! what a beautiful fellowship!
PICKTHAL: Whoso obeys Allah and the messenger, they are with those unto whom Allah hath shown favour, of the prophets and the saints and the martyrs and the righteous. The best of company are they!
SHAKIR: And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger, these are with those upon whom Allah has bestowed favors from among the prophets and the truthful and the martyrs and the good, and a goodly company are they!

1.     Of the prophets (who teach) – This is the best one amongst you who can teach the Qur’an

2.     Sincere (lovers of Truth) – These are the people who take in the teaching.

3.     Witnesses (who testify) – Those who testify of the truth by their character and conduct.

4.     Righteous (who do good) – Those who decide to take on good and righteous deeds.

This is known as the Fellowship of Believers. They make up Bakka or the gathering of believers.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   070
YUSUFALI: Such is the bounty from Allah: And sufficient is it that Allah knoweth all.
PICKTHAL: That is bounty from Allah, and Allah sufficeth as Knower.
SHAKIR: This is grace from Allah, and sufficient is Allah as the Knower.

          This is the fellowship that will be successful. This is the rank.

Some Messengers Must Be Left Behind

 Previous Screen

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   071
YUSUFALI: O ye who believe! Take your precautions, and either go forth in parties or go forth all together.
PICKTHAL: O ye who believe! Take your precautions, then advance the proven ones, or advance all together.
SHAKIR: O you who believe! take your precaution, then go forth in detachments or go forth in a body.

          Never send all of your Messengers (Teachers of Truth) forward at once.  Leave some one behind to continue building and teaching. When teaching you must not allow everyone to leave. There must be someone left who can teach the people with you. This keeps the knowledge growing in the community.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   072
YUSUFALI: There are certainly among you men who would tarry behind: If a misfortune befalls you, they say: "Allah did favour us in that we were not present among them."
PICKTHAL: Lo! among you there is he who loitereth; and if disaster overtook you, he would say: Allah hath been gracious unto me since I was not present with them.
SHAKIR: And surely among you is he who would certainly hang back! If then a misfortune befalls you he says: Surely Allah conferred a benefit on me that I was not present with them.

          You use your problems as an “excuse” of not joining the family. This should be seen as shameful when it is spoken from the lips of those around you.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   073
YUSUFALI: But if good fortune comes to you from Allah, they would be sure to say - as if there had never been Ties of affection between you and them - "Oh! I wish I had been with them; a fine thing should I then have made of it!"
PICKTHAL: And if a bounty from Allah befell you, he would surely cry, as if there had been no love between you and him: Oh, would that I had been with them, then should I have achieved a great success!
SHAKIR: And if grace from Allah come to you, he would certainly cry out, as if there had not been any friendship between you and him: Would that I had been with them, then I should have attained a mighty good fortune.

          These people who come when it is good and flee when help is needed should not be placed in positions of leadership.  They will run from their responsibilities just at they run when help is needed.  This is a commandment.

 

The Evil The Fight According to the Sacrifice

 Previous Screen

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   074
YUSUFALI: Let those fight in the cause of Allah Who sell the life of this world for the hereafter. To him who fights in the cause of Allah,- whether he is slain or gets victory - Soon shall We give him a reward of great (value).
PICKTHAL: Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fights in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward.
SHAKIR: Therefore let those fight in the way of Allah, who sell this world's life for the hereafter; and whoever fights in the way of Allah, then be he slain or be he victorious, We shall grant him a mighty reward.

          Those who give away this life for the Here After will be saved because they have saved themselves by choosing knowledge over wealth. If they fall in life or if they stay standing they will see “victory”! They can “never” change the words of men of God the Creator which have been written in tablets and books. This will mark the “end” of the false teaching being spread to the people. You will not have to be present to make this happen since the books you write will be filled with the Spirit (Truth) of God the Creator. The words will be spoken from your heart and will be imagined in your thoughts.

Knowledge of God Frees the Oppressed

 Previous Screen

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   075
YUSUFALI: And why should ye not fight in the cause of Allah and of those who, being weak, are ill-treated (and oppressed)?- Men, women, and children, whose cry is: "Our Lord! Rescue us from this town, whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from thee one who will protect; and raise for us from thee one who will help!"
PICKTHAL: How should ye not fight for the cause of Allah and of the feeble among men and of the women and the children who are crying: Our Lord! Bring us forth from out this town of which the people are oppressors! Oh, give us from thy presence some protecting friend! Oh, give us from Thy presence some defender!
SHAKIR: And what reason have you that you should not fight in the way of Allah and of the weak among the men and the women and the children, (of) those who say: Our Lord! cause us to go forth from this town, whose people are oppressors, and give us from Thee a guardian and give us from Thee a helper.

           You must look at this as it should be read. You are first to go out and give knowledge and education to those who have not received it. Education as in sciences and the knowledge of God the Creator.  There are two (2) types of men or women needed to teach in the family and community:

1.     Raise for us from thee one who will protect – There must be one from amongst you who will be able to go out and bring the Law (Covenant) to the people.  He will be responsible for spreading “Mercy” as he teaches the Law (Covenant). This will keep the Law (Covenant) from overtaking the heart.  It should be taught with Love, Mercy, and Compassion.

2.     Raise for us from thee one who will help – He or she will be the person who will go out and help heal the diseases which are in the hearts and thoughts of Believers. You will also be responsible for teaching Love, Mercy, and Compassion to the people.

This role you see here as part of the community is also a part of the family. The man must “protect” and the woman must “help raise” Children of the Garden. This is the “nature” which God the Creator has given to “every” animal on Earth.

The Rejecters of Faith (Friends of Satan)

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   076
YUSUFALI: Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who reject Faith Fight in the cause of Evil: So fight ye against the friends of Satan: feeble indeed is the cunning of Satan.
PICKTHAL: Those who believe do battle for the cause of Allah; and those who disbelieve do battle for the cause of idols. So fight the minions of the devil. Lo! the devil's strategy is ever weak.
SHAKIR: Those who believe fight in the way of Allah, and those who disbelieve fight in the way of the Shaitan. Fight therefore against the friends of the Shaitan; surely the strategy of the Shaitan is weak.

          Amen!  Those who do not want to remove the anger, doubt , and fear from the hearts and do not wish for them to have thoughts of compassion and mercy are friends of satan!  Amen!  Fighting in the cause of evil means to start wars and to charge Usury (interest) to the people for things that God has given to them.  Those in power do not wish teach the people education that if they are called upon to help will have the tools to rebuild the family and community.  Imagine doctors living next door in the poorest villages to help the people with health care!  Imagine a teacher who teaches because she loves God and wants to show her Faith (Compassion and Mercy) by helping others!  Imagine that?  This is the world that must be built and must become a teaching that never leaves the hearts and thoughts of the people.  Amen!

Turn Your Vision to Those Commanded to Self-Restrain and Establish Regular prayers and charity!!!!

 Previous Screen

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   077
YUSUFALI: Hast thou not turned Thy vision to those who were told to hold back their hands (from fight) but establish regular prayers and spend in regular charity? When (at length) the order for fighting was issued to them, behold! a section of them feared men as - or even more than - they should have feared Allah: They said: "Our Lord! Why hast Thou ordered us to fight? Wouldst Thou not Grant us respite to our (natural) term, near (enough)?" Say: "Short is the enjoyment of this world: the Hereafter is the best for those who do right: Never will ye be dealt with unjustly in the very least!
PICKTHAL: Hast thou not seen those unto whom it was said: Withhold your hands, establish worship and pay the poordue, but when fighting was prescribed for them behold! a party of them fear mankind even as their fear of Allah or with greater fear, and say: Our Lord! Why hast Thou ordained fighting for us? If only Thou wouldst give us respite yet a while! Say (unto them, O Muhammad): The comfort of this world is scant; the Hereafter will be better for him who wardeth off (evil); and ye will not be wronged the down upon a date-stone.
SHAKIR: Have you not seen those to whom it was said: Withhold your hands, and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate; but when fighting is prescribed for them, lo! a party of them fear men as they ought to have feared Allah, or (even) with a greater fear, and say: Our Lord! why hast Thou ordained fighting for us? Wherefore didst Thou not grant us a delay to a near end? Say: The provision of this world is short, and the hereafter is better for him who guards (against evil); and you shall not be wronged the husk of a date stone.

          Those who are told to hold to patience and self-restraint are never going to be harmed. This is the reality that must be taught to the people. No man has control over you when you have knowledge and wisdom.  He is not needed!

          Turning your vision to one who holds back their hands from fighting is the best way for you. If he gives what he has to you freely, then you will see a great guide being raised from amongst you. that is in the Soul (Heart)

 Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   078
YUSUFALI: "Wherever ye are, death will find you out, even if ye are in towers built up strong and high!" If some good befalls them, they say, "This is from Allah"; but if evil, they say, "This is from thee" (O Prophet). Say: "All things are from Allah." But what hath come to these people, that they fail to understand a single fact?
PICKTHAL: Wheresoever ye may be, death will overtake you, even though ye were in lofty towers. Yet if a happy thing befalleth them they say: This is from Allah; and if an evil thing befalleth them they say: This is of thy doing (O Muhammad). Say (unto them): All is from Allah. What is amiss with these people that they come not nigh to understand a happening?
SHAKIR: Wherever you are, death will overtake you, though you are in lofty towers, and if a benefit comes to them, they say: This is from Allah; and if a misfortune befalls them, they say: This is from you. Say: All is from Allah, but what is the matter with these people that they do not make approach to understanding what is told (them)?

          Wherever you are death (condition of the heart) will follow you. As long as you live you will have to fight this battle. Each time this happens you simply have to refer back to the understanding being taught in the Holy Qur’an (Holy Book). This is all the help you will need to Resurrect your heart and clear your thoughts.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   079
YUSUFALI: Whatever good, (O man!) happens to thee, is from Allah; but whatever evil happens to thee, is from thy (own) soul. and We have sent thee as a messenger to (instruct) mankind. And enough is Allah for a witness.
PICKTHAL: Whatever of good befalls thee (O man) it is from Allah, and whatever of ill befalls thee it is from thyself. We have sent thee (Muhammad) as a messenger unto mankind and Allah is sufficient as Witness.
SHAKIR: Whatever benefit comes to you (O man!), it is from Allah, and whatever misfortune befalls you, it is from yourself, and We have sent you (O Prophet!), to mankind as a messenger; and Allah is sufficient as a witness.

           Whatever bad that is returned to you is by your own hands. This refers to your lying, stealing, killing, or charging usury (interest); it will “all” come back to you if you do not “repent” and change your ways.  You have been give a commandment to instruct mankind so that they may have a chance.  If they do not change their ways they will bring harm to themselves.

He who Obeys the Messenger Obeys God

 Previous Screen

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   080
YUSUFALI: He who obeys the Messenger, obeys Allah: But if any turn away, We have not sent thee to watch over their (evil deeds).
PICKTHAL: Whoso obeyeth the messenger hath obeyed Allah, and whoso turneth away: We have not sent thee as a warder over them.
SHAKIR: Whoever obeys the Messenger, he indeed obeys Allah, and whoever turns back, so We have not sent you as a keeper over them.

          Those who obey the Messenger in Love, Mercy, and Compassion will be seen as if they obey God the Creator! Man has not taken the place of God the Creator but has come in His Image in “nature”!  He teaches Faith (patience and self-restraint) to the people.  If they turn away then the burden lies with them and not with you.

Cannot Bear Witness With Just Lips!

 Previous Screen

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   081
YUSUFALI: They have "Obedience" on their lips; but when they leave thee, a section of them Meditate all night on things very different from what thou tells them. But Allah records their nightly (plots): So keep clear of them, and put thy trust in Allah, and enough is Allah as a disposer of affairs.
PICKTHAL: And they say: (It is) obedience; but when they have gone forth from thee a party of them spend the night in planning other than what thou says. Allah records what they plan by night. So oppose them and put thy trust in Allah. Allah is sufficient as Trustee.
SHAKIR: And they say: Obedience. But when they go out from your presence, a party of them decide by night upon doing otherwise than what you say; and Allah writes down what they decide by night, therefore turn aside from them and trust in Allah, and Allah is sufficient as a protector.

          Those who have obedience on their lips and who go home and think of evil things not involved in the Holy Qur’an (Holy Book) are being spoken of here. Stay clear of these people and record their foolishness in books to “warn” others of the evil they have done. This will “inform” the next generation of the tricks that may be used against them. This is a commandment and is your duty.

          When faced with anger turn to patience and self-restraint and look into your heart! Do not allow “emotions” to get the best of you because this is the “tool” that “destroys” the heart and clouds the thoughts.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   082
YUSUFALI: Do they not consider the Qur'an (with care)? Had it been from other Than Allah, they would surely have found therein Much discrepancy.
PICKTHAL: Will they not then ponder on the Qur'an? If it had been from other than Allah they would have found therein much incongruity.
SHAKIR: Do they not then meditate on the Quran? And if it were from any other than Allah, they would have found in it many a discrepancy.

          Do not doubt what is in the Holy Qur’an (Holy Book).  It is what will open the eyes of men and women.  There are no discrepancies in this book.  Man must seek spiritual understanding in order to fully understand what is written in this book.  Only then will you be able to see good and bad in life as it is seen in reality.

Matter of Public Safety and Fear

 Previous Screen

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   083
YUSUFALI: When there comes to them some matter touching (Public) safety or fear, they divulge it. If they had only referred it to the Messenger, or to those charged with authority among them, the proper investigators would have Tested it from them (direct). Were it not for the Grace and Mercy of Allah unto you, all but a few of you would have fallen into the clutches of Satan.
PICKTHAL: And if any tidings, whether of safety or fear, come unto them, they noise it abroad, whereas if they had referred it to the messenger and to such of them as are in authority, those among them who are able to think out the matter would have known it. If it had not been for the grace of Allah upon you and His mercy ye would have followed Satan, save a few (of you).
SHAKIR: And when there comes to them news of security or fear they spread it abroad; and if they had referred it to the Messenger and to those in authority among them, those among them who can search out the knowledge of it would have known it, and were it not for the grace of Allah upon you and His mercy, you would have certainly followed the Shaitan save a few.

          When there comes to the people a concern of public safety it should be referred to one who has wisdom.  It should be referred to one with  understanding or to one who can justify the message. One should investigate the information that is being spread to the children, family, and in the community. You should not allow things which teach anger, doubt of belief in patience and self-restraint, or fear of loosing life and wealth to be taught to your children. This will raise them with this emotion inside of them. 

          You should not spread stories of anger, horror, or magic in the family and community. They must be taught properly since the children must understand these emotions in order to deal with them. This is a part of the “nature” that will come to life when your heart falls from Remembrance of God the Creator. As long as you live in “reality” you will not have to worry about this.

The Truth Restrains Believers

 Previous Screen

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   084
YUSUFALI: Then fight in Allah's cause - Thou art held responsible only for thyself - and rouse the believers. It may be that Allah will restrain the fury of the Unbelievers; for Allah is the strongest in might and in punishment.
PICKTHAL: So fight (O Muhammad) in the way of Allah Thou art not taxed (with the responsibility for anyone) except thyself - and urge on the believers. Peradventure Allah will restrain the might of those who disbelieve. Allah is stronger in might and stronger in inflicting punishment.
SHAKIR: Fight then in Allah's way; this is not imposed on you except In relation to yourself, and rouse the believers to ardor maybe Allah will restrain the fighting of those who disbelieve and Allah is strongest in prowess and strongest to give an exemplary punishment.

          You should fight for purity in the cause of God the Creator of the Heavens and Earth. You should go out and get the Believers to do the same. This is a commandment.  You are only responsible for yourself and no one else. You can only warn them to do the right thing.

Partners In The Cause

 Previous Screen

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   085
YUSUFALI: Whoever recommends and helps a good cause becomes a partner therein: And whoever recommends and helps an evil cause, shares in its burden: And Allah hath power over all things.
PICKTHAL: Whoso intervenes in a good cause will have the reward thereof, and whoso intervenes in an evil cause will bear the consequence thereof. Allah oversees all things.
SHAKIR: Whoever joins himself (to another) in a good cause shall have a share of it, and whoever joins himself (to another) in an evil cause shall have the responsibility of it, and Allah controls all things.

          Whoever recommends and helps a good cause becomes a partner with the good. Whoever recommends and helps in an evil cause shares in the burden. Your children should be taught not to take part in that which goes against the Supreme “nature” given to them as a favor from God the Creator.

          Teach people in your family and community to take part in that which is good. Always give them a “choice” as to whether or not they choose to leave evil for good.  If they ever taste the fire they will have to be Resurrected with Love, Mercy, and Compassion.

Greeting a Kind Gesture With One Even Finer (Humility)

 Previous Screen

 Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   086
YUSUFALI: When a (courteous) greeting is offered you, meet it with a greeting still more courteous, or (at least) of equal courtesy. Allah takes careful account of all things.
PICKTHAL: When ye are greeted with a greeting, greet ye with a better than it or return it. Lo! Allah takes count of all things.
SHAKIR: And when you are greeted with a greeting, greet with a better (greeting) than it or return it; surely Allah takes account of all things.

          When a person offers a nice greeting to you it is required of you to return something finer in greetings to them. This will “always” keep you at a level of humility towards the person you meet with. THIS IS A COMMANDMENT THAT MUST BE FOLLOWED TO IMPROVE YOUR CHARACTER! All this should become known as a sign (example) to be searched for in the character and conduct of a student.

The Day of Judgment (Resurrection) Does not Mean Physical Death!!!

 Previous Screen

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   087
YUSUFALI: Allah! There is no god but He: of a surety He will gather you together against the Day of Judgment, about which there is no doubt. And whose word can be truer than Allah's?
PICKTHAL: Allah! There is no Allah save Him. He gathers you all unto a Day of Resurrection whereof there is no doubt. Who is more true in statement than Allah?
SHAKIR: Allah, there is no god but He-- He will most certainly gather you together on the resurrection day, there is no doubt in it; and who is more true in word than Allah?

          There will come a day when we will all be gathered together on the Day of Judgment (Resurrection)! DO NOT LOOK FOR A DAY WHEN MEN AND WOMEN WILL BE KILLED FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE! THERE WILL BE NO PHYSICAL DEATH! THE DEATH WILL BE THE KILLING OF THE DISEASES WHICH ARE IN THE HEART! No man or woman will die!  If you are taught death in “physical” terms you must be re-taught. This is the day when the hearts of men and women will be “lifted up to the Heavens”! Amen!  Now you know the truth when it comes to the Resurrection! Amen!

          Those who are looking for a physical death have no knowledge or have been taught wrong.  They must change their thoughts to look for Peace of mind and Security of the Heart to come to the Garden on Earth. This is the “reality” of understanding that must be taught.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   088
YUSUFALI: Why should ye be divided into two parties about the Hypocrites? Allah hath upset them for their (evil) deeds. Would ye guide those whom Allah hath thrown out of the Way? For those whom Allah hath thrown out of the Way, never shalt thou find the Way.
PICKTHAL: What aileth you that ye are become two parties regarding the hypocrites, when Allah cast them back (to disbelief) because of what they earned? Seek ye to guide him whom Allah hath sent astray? He whom Allah sends  astray, for him thou (O MUhammad) canst not find a road.
SHAKIR: What is the matter with you, then, that you have become two parties about the hypocrites, while Allah has made them return (to unbelief) for what they have earned? Do you wish to guide him whom Allah has caused to err? And whomsoever Allah causes to err, you shall by no means find a way for him.

          Why should you be divided into two (2) parties because there are “hypocrites” among you? They have been upset because of their evil deeds.  You must see this and mend all that has been torn apart. This is also a commandment.  This is how the enemies from within and outside destroy the families and communities.

Slaying the Renegades

 Previous Screen

 Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   089
YUSUFALI: They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks;-
PICKTHAL: They long that ye should disbelieve even as they disbelieve, that ye may be upon a level (with them). So choose not friends from them till they forsake their homes in the way of Allah; if they turn back (to enmity) then take them and kill them wherever ye find them, and choose no friend nor helper from among them,
SHAKIR: They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah's way; but if they turn back, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper.

           Those against you wish for you to reject Faith (patience and self-restraint).  They want you to take on the same footing and walk on the water of Hell as they do. What you believe in is what you walk by.  If you walk by the Supreme Knowledge and Wisdom of God the Creator you “walk on water”!  This is the “reality teaching of the Coming of the Christ, Messiah, and Madhi”!  Each group of people will have a place to come for water (knowledge) and will come to the Holy Qur’an (Holy Book) to verify it.  If you teach with the Qur’an (Book) in your hand you will “never” go wrong!  Amen! This is a commandment for you from me.

          You must find them and slay their hearts!  You must change the condition of the heart so that people’s lives may be spared.  You will have this problem at first but as life goes on it will become easier to teach and manage. This will eventually become the heart and thoughts of the men and women in the family and community.

No Fight Against Those You  Have A Treaty With

 Previous Screen

 Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   090
YUSUFALI: Except those who join a group between whom and you there is a treaty (of peace), or those who approach you with hearts restraining them from fighting you as well as fighting their own people. If Allah had pleased, He could have given them power over you, and they would have fought you: Therefore if they withdraw from you but fight you not, and (instead) send you (Guarantees of) peace, then Allah Hath opened no way for you (to war against them).
PICKTHAL: Except those who seek refuge with a people between whom and you there is a covenant, or (those who) come unto you because their hearts forbid them to make war on you or make war on their own folk. Had Allah willed He could have given them power over you so that assuredly they would have fought you. So, if they hold aloof from you and wage not war against you and offer you peace, Allah allows you no way against them.
SHAKIR: Except those who reach a people between whom and you there is an alliance, or who come to you, their hearts shrinking from fighting you or fighting their own people; and if Allah had pleased, He would have given them power over you, so that they should have certainly fought you; therefore if they withdraw from you and do not fight you and offer you peace, then Allah has not given you a way against them.

          Those who come from amongst you with patience and self-restraint in their hearts need to be taught to help the others.  Knowledge and wisdom should travel freely amongst you and your families and in your communities. If you have become divided you must look to those amongst you who are upset with you to mend the broken ties.  You must always turn to that which will give you the “best” security. The best security for you is patience and self-restraint. The best thing for you is to bring hearts of likeness in “nature” together to solve your problems. Your patience and self-restraint is the power you have against your enemies.

Fight Against Temptation

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   091
YUSUFALI: Others you will find that wish to gain your confidence as well as that of their people: Every time they are sent back to temptation, they succumb thereto: if they withdraw not from you nor give you (guarantees) of peace besides restraining their hands, seize them and slay them wherever ye get them: In their case We have provided you with a clear argument against them.
PICKTHAL: Ye will find others who desire that they should have security from you, and security from their own folk. So often as they are returned to hostility they are plunged therein. If they keep not aloof from you nor offer you peace nor hold their hands, then take them and kill them wherever ye find them. Against such We have given you clear warrant.
SHAKIR: You will find others who desire that they should be safe from you and secure from their own people; as often as they are sent back to the mischief they get thrown into it headlong; therefore if they do not withdraw from you, and (do not) offer you peace and restrain their hands, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them; and against these We have given you a clear authority.

          There will be those who will gain your confidence and then turn against you. These are the “hypocrites” and they must be removed from positions of leadership and their children must be re-taught.  If a father chooses to ruin his family at home it is his free will.  You must make sure the child gets the attention and love it needs to get through the day. You must place the child with other children who are caring and loving.  This is the peaceful way to change the condition of hearts filled with disease. Do your best to see the children at least have another way out of their madness.

A Believer Should Never Kill Another Believer

 Previous Screen

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   092
YUSUFALI: Never should a believer kill a believer; but (If it so happens) by mistake, (Compensation is due): If one (so) kills a believer, it is ordained that he should free a believing slave, and pay compensation to the deceased's family, unless they remit it freely. If the deceased belonged to a people at war with you, and he was a believer, the freeing of a believing slave (Is enough). If he belonged to a people with whom ye have treaty of Mutual alliance, compensation should be paid to his family, and a believing slave be freed. For those who find this beyond their means, (is prescribed) a fast for two months running: by way of repentance to Allah: for Allah hath all knowledge and all wisdom.
PICKTHAL: It is not for a believer to kill a believer unless (it be) by mistake. He who hath killed a believer by mistake must set free a believing slave, and pay the blood-money to the family of the slain, unless they remit it as a charity. If he (the victim) be of a people hostile unto you, and he is a believer, then (the penance is) to set free a believing slave. And if he cometh of a folk between whom and you there is a covenant, then the blood-money must be paid unto his folk and (also) a believing slave must be set free. And whoso hath not the wherewithal must fast two consecutive months. A penance from Allah. Allah is Knower, Wise.
SHAKIR: And it does not behoove a believer to kill a believer except by mistake, and whoever kills a believer by mistake, he should free a believing slave, and blood-money should be paid to his people unless they remit it as alms; but if he be from a tribe hostile to you and he is a believer, the freeing of a believing slave (suffices), and if he is from a tribe between whom and you there is a convenant, the blood-money should be paid to his people along with the freeing of a believing slave; but he who cannot find (a slave) should fast for two months successively: a penance from Allah, and Allah is Knowing, Wise.

          If you kill a believer then you must take on a different burden!  You must free a believing “slave” of this world who has asked for help.  YOU MUST TURN AND GO BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY AND RAISE ONE TO “REPLACE’ THAT WHICH YOU HAVE TAKEN AWAY FROM “US”!  It is a sad day when you kill people and this must be removed. You must not live your life with disease (anger, doubt, and fear) in your heart.  You must change your ways.

          You should remove yourself from the people and go back to studying.  You must take twenty (20) days to reflect on your madness.  If you return in your same madness it is the right of the person whose family member you have killed to ask for it to be returned to you. If they choose to forgive you must be set free. This is the “closest” relative of the person who has been harmed.  If the person has repented and shows sincere repentance you must spare his life. You must give him a chance to prepare himself for his return to God the Creator. He or she could be a Savior that simply needs to be Resurrected.

          If you have killed the heart of a Believer you must fast for two (2) months and must go and teach someone else the truth.  Every life you take you must give one back.

          When you learn to control the emotions that enter the heart you will be able to control the madness in the world.

          This is the penalty you must take on “yourself” when you cause harm to others. You turn and remove the “disease” in your heart so that you understand what to do the next time you are tempted.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   093
YUSUFALI: If a man kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, to abide therein (For ever): And the wrath and the curse of Allah are upon him, and a dreadful penalty is prepared for him.
PICKTHAL: Whoso slays a believer of set purpose, his reward is hell for ever. Allah is wroth against him and He hath cursed him and prepared for him an awful doom.
SHAKIR: And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his punishment is hell; he shall abide in it, and Allah will send His wrath on him and curse him and prepare for him a painful chastisement.

          When you kill a Believer you are then left with a burden of hell in your heart.  You must “repent” and turn away from your madness to be saved. God the Creator will forgive your “sins” if you change the condition of your heart.  This is why you must allow (20) days for a healing process to take place. This is a commandment.

Carefully Investigate Believers (Must Not Covet The Goods of the People)

 Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   094
YUSUFALI: O ye who believe! When ye go abroad in the cause of Allah, investigate carefully, and say not to any one who offers you a salutation: "Thou art none of a believer!" Coveting the perishable goods of this life: with Allah are profits and spoils abundant. Even thus were ye yourselves before, till Allah conferred on you His favours: Therefore carefully investigate. For Allah is well aware of all that ye do.
PICKTHAL: O ye who believe! When ye go forth (to fight) in the way of Allah, be careful to discriminate, and say not unto one who offereth you peace: "Thou art not a believer," seeking the chance profits of this life (so that ye may despoil him). With Allah are plenteous spoils. Even thus (as he now is) were ye before; but Allah hath since then been gracious unto you. Therefore take care to discriminate. Allah is ever Informed of what ye do.
SHAKIR: O you who believe! when you go to war in Allah's way, make investigation, and do not say to any one who offers you peace: You are not a believer. Do you seek goods of this world's life! But with Allah there are abundant gains; you too were such before, then Allah conferred a benefit on you; therefore make investigation; surely Allah is aware of what you do.

          When you are traveling you must not suspect others as non-believers. There is a basic “nature” you have learned while reading this book made up of Love, Mercy, and Compassion. This is the condition you must search for in the heart.  If it is present you must treat them kindly as they treat you kindly.

          Do not look to meet others to take their goods from them either.  You must have every intention to help those who are in need.

Believers who Strive for Purity in Children and Who Give Freely Are Above Others

 Previous Screen

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   095
YUSUFALI: Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home). Unto all (in Faith) Hath Allah promised good: But those who strive and fight Hath He distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a special reward,-
PICKTHAL: Those of the believers who sit still, other than those who have a (disabling) hurt, are not on an equality with those who strive in the way of Allah with their wealth and lives. Allah hath conferred on those who strive with their wealth and lives a rank above the sedentary. Unto each Allah hath promised good, but He hath bestowed on those who strive a great reward above the sedentary;
SHAKIR: The holders back from among the believers, not having any injury, and those who strive hard in Allah's way with their property and their persons are not equal; Allah has made the strivers with their property and their persons to excel the holders back a (high) degree, and to each (class) Allah has promised good; and Allah shall grant to the strivers above the holders back a mighty reward:

          Believers who strive for purity of heart and who raise Fruits (Children of the Garden) will have a “special” reward in this life and the next.  If there has not been a Resurrection of the hearts of men and women you will still be prepared for the day when the Hearts of the World are part of the Rapture! This is the day you must look for in reality.

          Ranks Bestowed By God!

 Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   096
YUSUFALI: Ranks specially bestowed by Him, and Forgiveness and Mercy. For Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
PICKTHAL: Degrees of rank from Him, and forgiveness and mercy. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.
SHAKIR: (High) degrees from Him and protection and mercy, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

          Man has become a “fool” when he allows the rich to be at the “top” of the tree! This is not the Garden of God the Creator. Those who are filled with knowledge along with Love, Mercy, and Compassion are the people you should choose for leaders. These are the people who will “help” you. All the rich man will do is keep you in poverty and control your every move.  He will become the Devil in the Flesh soon enough and will try to take for himself and his friends. The rank of knowledge along with the teaching of the Law (Covenant) is far above any rich man or preacher. They are just “common” men.

You Must Migrate to Peace Before Death

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   097
YUSUFALI: When angels take the souls of those who die in sin against their souls, they say: "In what (plight) Were ye?" They reply: "Weak and oppressed Were we in the earth." They say: "Was not the earth of Allah spacious enough for you to move yourselves away (From evil)?" Such men will find their abode in Hell,- What an evil refuge! -
PICKTHAL: Lo! as for those whom the angels take (in death) while they wrong themselves, (the angels) will ask: In what were ye engaged? They will say: We were oppressed in the land. (The angels) will say: Was not Allah's earth spacious that ye could have migrated therein? As for such, their habitation will be hell, an evil journey's end;
SHAKIR: Surely (as for) those whom the angels cause to die while they are unjust to their souls, they shall say: In what state were you? They shall say: We were weak in the earth. They shall say: Was not Allah's earth spacious, so that you should have migrated therein? So these it is whose abode is hell, and it is an evil resort

          You should send your “living angels” who are men to take the souls (hearts) of those given to sin. These are the Messengers (Teachers of Truth) who go out to help guide the people who want to be guided back to reality.  You must at the very least offer them a better way than the way they are currently going. This is your duty to make them aware and give them a choice.

Only the Truly Weak Are Given Exception

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   098
YUSUFALI: Except those who are (really) weak and oppressed - men, women, and children - who have no means in their power, nor (a guide-post) to their way.
PICKTHAL: Except the feeble among men, and the women, and the children, who are unable to devise a plan and are not shown a way.
SHAKIR: Except the weak from among the men and the children who have not in their power the means nor can they find a way (to escape);

          Those who have not been shown a way you must go to them and teach them the correct way. They are weak in knowledge and understanding. They are the oppressed in the families and communities.  Often they will be the children of former slaves who are now being held down with a lack of education, poverty, and tough jail sentences. This is the “tool” men of sin use to hold back the people.  If wrong doers do not repent and change their ways they will be overtaken by that which has been created by their own hands. This is what caused the fall of the Romans and Greeks and the Persians.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   099
YUSUFALI: For these, there is hope that Allah will forgive: For Allah doth blot out (sins) and forgive again and again.
PICKTHAL: As for such, it may be that Allah will pardon them. Allah is ever Clement, Forgiving.
SHAKIR: So these, it may be, Allah will pardon them, and Allah is Pardoning, Forgiving.

          All who have hope will be forgiven by God the Creator of the Heavens and Earth. He is able to “blot out” the sins of those who change their ways.  He will pardon them and allow them to join the family of righteousness. Amen!  You must allow the same.

The Death of the Refugee

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   100
YUSUFALI: He who forsakes his home in the cause of Allah, finds in the earth Many a refuge, wide and spacious: Should he die as a refugee from home for Allah and His Messenger, His reward becomes due and sure with Allah: And Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
PICKTHAL: Whoso migrateth for the cause of Allah will find much refuge and abundance in the earth, and whoso forsaketh his home, a fugitive unto Allah and His messenger, and death overtaketh him, his reward is then incumbent on Allah. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.
SHAKIR: And whoever flies in Allah's way, he will find in the earth many a place of refuge and abundant resources, and whoever goes forth from his house flying to Allah and His Messenger, and then death overtakes him, his reward is indeed with Allah and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

          He that leaves his home in search of teaching others will find “many” who need help.  If he dies as a refugee helping others his “reward” will come from God the Creator Himself “instantly”! God the Creator will forgive “all” of your sins since you have given up living comfortable for the spreading of truth. Allow missionaries from amongst yourselves to go out and teach others. This is a commandment.

          All of you who leave the homes of your fathers who are on the wrong path will receive your reward. This is an invitation for you to join the brotherhood.

No Blame To Shorten Prayers During Journey

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   101
YUSUFALI: When ye travel through the earth, there is no blame on you if ye shorten your prayers, for fear the Unbelievers May attack you: For the Unbelievers are unto you open enemies.
PICKTHAL: And when ye go forth in the land, it is no sin for you to curtail (your) worship if ye fear that those who disbelieve may attack you. In truth the disbelievers are an open enemy to you.
SHAKIR: And when you journey in the earth, there is no blame on you if you shorten the prayer, if you fear that those who disbelieve will cause you distress, surely the unbelievers are your open enemy.

          If you are on a journey in writing and preparing presentations you may shorten your prayers since you are engaged in the “highest “ form of prayer when you Remember God the Creator by sharing His News with others.  If you are traveling throughout the cities and need to shorten your prayers you are allowed to do this. As soon as you reach a safe place you must return to your ways of “nature”.

          If you fear being attacked by your enemies you may want to leave to avoid trouble. Bringing them the Law (Covenant) when they want to kill you will not be possible.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   102
YUSUFALI: When thou (O Messenger) art with them, and standest to lead them in prayer, Let one party of them stand up (in prayer) with thee, Taking their arms with them: When they finish their prostrations, let them Take their position in the rear. And let the other party come up which hath not yet prayed - and let them pray with thee, Taking all precaution, and bearing arms: the Unbelievers wish, if ye were negligent of your arms and your baggage, to assault you in a single rush. But there is no blame on you if ye put away your arms because of the inconvenience of rain or because ye are ill; but take (every) precaution for yourselves. For the Unbelievers Allah hath prepared a humiliating punishment.
PICKTHAL: And when thou (O Muhammad) art among them and arrangest (their) worship for them, let only a party of them stand with thee (to worship) and let them take their arms. Then when they have performed their prostrations let them fall to the rear and let another party come that hath not worshipped and let them worship with thee, and let them take their precaution and their arms. Those who disbelieve long for you to neglect your arms and your baggage that they may attack you once for all. It is no sin for you to lay aside your arms, if rain impedeth you or ye are sick. But take your precaution. Lo! Allah prepareth for the disbelievers shameful punishment.
SHAKIR: And when you are among them and keep up the prayer for them, let a party of them stand up with you, and let them take their arms; then when they have prostrated themselves let them go to your rear, and let another party who have not prayed come forward and pray with you, and let them take their precautions and their arms; (for) those who disbelieve desire that you may be careless of your arms and your luggage, so that they may then turn upon you with a sudden united attack, and there is no blame on you, if you are annoyed with rain or if you are sick, that you lay down your arms, and take your precautions; surely Allah has prepared a disgraceful chastisement for the unbelievers.

          Some Messengers must go forth and bring forth prayer (Remembrance of God) while others stay in and gather in prayer (Remembrance of God). This is how you keep up with the inspiration and Faith (heart of purity) that is needed to take on the false teachings. 

          You will be able to take the Message of truth to every part of the planet and you will be able to sustain (hold on to) what you have gained in knowledge.  Each time you return it will be a time for gathering together with others.

          You are the people who can go out and fight for purity without physically killing anyone.  Your weapon will be the “truth”! This is the “only” weapon you will need.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   103
YUSUFALI: When ye pass (Congregational) prayers, celebrate Allah's praises, standing, sitting down, or lying down on your sides; but when ye are free from danger, set up Regular Prayers: For such prayers are enjoined on believers at stated times.
PICKTHAL: When ye have performed the act of worship, remember Allah, standing, sitting and reclining. And when ye are in safety, observe proper worship. Worship at fixed times hath been enjoined on the believers.
SHAKIR: Then when you have finished the prayer, remember Allah standing and sitting and reclining; but when you are secure (from danger) keep up prayer; surely prayer is a timed ordinance for the believers.

          When you pass by those who are in Remembrance of God the Creator you should go by with Love, Mercy, and Compassion. When you are safe in your home and have returned from your journey you must thank God the Creator for guiding you home safely.  This must be done by the missionaries that will be sent out by the leaders of the families and communities. Soldiers of Peace!!! Amen!

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   104
YUSUFALI: And slacken not in following up the enemy: If ye are suffering hardships, they are suffering similar hardships; but ye have Hope from Allah, while they have none. And Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.
PICKTHAL: Relent not in pursuit of the enemy. If ye are suffering, lo! they suffer even as ye suffer and ye hope from Allah that for which they cannot hope. Allah is ever Knower, Wise.
SHAKIR: And be not weak hearted in pursuit of the enemy; if you suffer pain, then surely they (too) suffer pain as you suffer pain, and you hope from Allah what they do not hope; and Allah is Knowing, Wise.

          Do not let down in defeating the diseases of the heart. If you are suffering and trying to bring truth, so is satan (evil men) suffering trying to hold to what little he has. They will not overcome you since you will “always” be prepared with the truth. Even the evil ones have a problem keeping control even though they do it with armies and poverty (lack of education).

Book Sent to Help Judge and not For War (Advocate)

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   105
YUSUFALI: We have sent down to thee the Book in truth, that thou mightest judge between men, as guided by Allah: so be not (used) as an advocate by those who betray their trust;
PICKTHAL: Lo! We reveal unto thee the Scripture with the truth, that thou mayst judge between mankind by that which Allah showeth thee. And be not thou a pleader for the treacherous;
SHAKIR: Surely We have revealed the Book to you with the truth that you may judge between people by means of that which Allah has taught you; and be not an advocate on behalf of the treacherous.

           You are not allowed to take part in the madness of the evil rulers. All you should do is fight for your right to choose your “own” leaders. This will make it possible for you to raise leaders from amongst yourselves to lead your people the right way. This is the “best” way to bring about change. Do not look to people because they have money. The meek and humble are the best to guide the family and community.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   106
YUSUFALI: But seek the forgiveness of Allah; for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
PICKTHAL: And seek forgiveness of Allah. Lo! Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.
SHAKIR: And ask forgiveness of Allah; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

          If they seek your help you must help them seek a path that will find forgiveness from those they have harmed.  Only if they “repent” can you help them.

God Does not Love Sinners (Cheats and Crime)

 Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   107
YUSUFALI: Contend not on behalf of such as betray their own souls; for Allah loveth not one given to perfidy and crime:
PICKTHAL: And plead not on behalf of (people) who deceive themselves. Lo! Allah loveth not one who is treacherous and sinful.
SHAKIR: And do not plead on behalf of those who act unfaithfully to their souls; surely Allah does not love him who is treacherous, sinful;

          Do not contend or help those who betray what is in their souls (hearts). Do not help those who commit crimes against the “nature” of man to bring harm to others.  You are only allowed to teach and preach and advise what will deliver the Last Day (Resurrection).

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   108
YUSUFALI: They may hide (Their crimes) from men, but they cannot hide (Them) from Allah, seeing that He is in their midst when they plot by night, in words that He cannot approve: And Allah Doth compass round all that they do.
PICKTHAL: They seek to hide from men and seek not to hide from Allah. He is with them when by night they hold discourse displeasing unto Him. Allah ever surroundeth what they do.
SHAKIR: They hide themselves from men and do not hide themselves from Allah, and He is with them when they meditate by night words which please Him not, and Allah encompasses what they do.

          Do not help people hide their crimes from men because God the Creator sees “all” they do. They are teaching in Words not approved by God the Creator. Each time God the Creator sends His Messenger (Teacher of Truth) He will give him enough to defeat the evil ones amongst you. Fight for purity. Death comes spiritually in the heart. Darkness is the disease that is within your heart.

The Fight Against the Sinners (Allowed)

 Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   109
YUSUFALI: Ah! These are the sort of men on whose behalf ye may contend in this world; but who will contend with Allah on their behalf on the Day of Judgment, or who will carry their affairs through?
PICKTHAL: Ho! ye are they who pleaded for them in the life of the world. But who will plead with Allah for them on the Day of Resurrection, or who will then be their defender?
SHAKIR: Behold! you are they who (may) plead for them in this world's life, but who will plead for them with Allah on the resurrection day, or who shall be their protector?

          THESE ARE THE MEN YOU MAY FIGHT AGAINST! THESE ARE THE PREACHERS WHO PREACH FALSE MIRACLES AND MAGIC AND THOSE WHO TEACH FIGHTING AS PHYSICAL DEATH! Those who teach of the act of aggression are also foolish.

Repentance

 Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   110
YUSUFALI: If any one does evil or wrongs his own soul but afterwards seeks Allah's forgiveness, he will find Allah Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
PICKTHAL: Yet whoso doeth evil or wrongeth his own soul, then seeketh pardon of Allah, will find Allah Forgiving, Merciful.
SHAKIR: And whoever does evil or acts unjustly to his soul, then asks forgiveness of Allah, he shall find Allah Forgiving, Merciful.

          Those who commit a sin and afterwards changes the condition of their hearts will be “forgiven” by God the Creator. This is how you must go through life also. You must give “all” a chance to be pardoned. This the duty of Believers. Do not rush to kill people. The one you physically harm could be the one sent to save you!

No One can take on Your Sins!

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   111
YUSUFALI: And if any one earns sin. he earns it against His own soul: for Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.
PICKTHAL: Whoso committeth sin committeth it only against himself. Allah is ever Knower, Wise.
SHAKIR: And whoever commits a sin, he only commits it against his own soul; and Allah is Knowing, Wise.

          As you see in “reality” you are “responsible” for your own sins. If you commit an offense you must repent to avoid punishment. What ever sins you commit brings harm to your own soul (heart). This burden can only be removed if you place Love, Mercy, and Compassion inside your heart.

Charging the Innocent With Crimes (Spreading your death to others)

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   112
YUSUFALI: But if any one earns a fault or a sin and throws it on to one that is innocent, He carries (on himself) (Both) a falsehood and a flagrant sin.
PICKTHAL: And whoso committeth a delinquency or crime, then throweth (the blame) thereof upon the innocent, hath burdened himself with falsehood and a flagrant crime.
SHAKIR: And whoever commits a fault or a sin, then accuses of it one innocent, he indeed takes upon himself the burden of a calumny and a manifest sin.

          ANYONE WHO EARNS A SIN OR A FAULT AND PASSES IT ON TO ANOTHER IS GUILTY OF FALSEHOOD AND A FLAGRANT SIN! This was the sin committed by Master (Great Prophet and Messiah) Jacob when he told his sons to enter the cities by “any and every” gate! This was not the gate of humility but the Gate to Hell (bowing to a king or governor). This caused him to receive the name Israel. This meant he had allowed the anger, doubt of belief in patience and self-restraint, and fear of loosing life and wealth over come him.  He took on this disease an it became flesh.  Master (Great Prophet and Messiah) Jacob was then saved by Master (Great Prophet and Messiah) Joseph who “left his father’s house” for the Home of God the Creator. The Home of God the Creator is filled with repentance and forgiveness.  Master (Great Prophet and Messiah) Jacob was saved before he made his final return to God the Creator.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   113
YUSUFALI: But for the Grace of Allah to thee and his Mercy, a party of them would certainly have plotted to lead thee astray. But (in fact) they will only Lead their own souls astray, and to thee they can do no harm in the least. For Allah hath sent down to thee the Book and wisdom and taught thee what thou Knewest not (before): And great is the Grace of Allah unto thee.
PICKTHAL: But for the grace of Allah upon thee (Muhammad), and His mercy, a party of them had resolved to mislead thee, but they will mislead only themselves and they will hurt thee not at all. Allah revealeth unto thee the Scripture and wisdom, and teacheth thee that which thou knewest not. The grace of Allah toward thee hath been infinite.
SHAKIR: And were it not for Allah's grace upon you and His mercy a party of them had certainly designed to bring you to perdition and they do not bring (aught) to perdition but their own souls, and they shall not harm you in any way, and Allah has revealed to you the Book and the wisdom, and He has taught you what you did not know, and Allah's grace on you is very great.

          There are parties of men and women who want to send you in another direction. They will lead themselves astray so there is no need to worry about them.  You are now being taught a knowledge Supreme to anything else and any other book you will find. This is part of the Grace and Mercy from God the Creator.

When Secrecy is Permitted

 Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   114
YUSUFALI: In most of their secret talks there is no good: But if one exhorts to a deed of charity or justice or conciliation between men, (Secrecy is permissible): To him who does this, seeking the good pleasure of Allah, We shall soon give a reward of the highest (value).
PICKTHAL: There is no good in much of their secret conferences save (in) him who enjoineth almsgiving and kindness and peace-making among the people. Whoso doeth that, seeking the good pleasure of Allah, We shall bestow on him a vast reward.
SHAKIR: There is no good in most of their secret counsels except (in his) who enjoins charity or goodness or reconciliation between people; and whoever does this seeking Allah's pleasure, We will give him a mighty reward.

          If you are going to do a deed of charity then “secrecy” is allowed.  You are seeking the pleasure of God the Creator and you are not looking to be seen of men. The best charity is that which comes from you and God the Creator of the Heavens and Earth.

The Path to Hell

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   115
YUSUFALI: If anyone contends with the Messenger even after guidance has been plainly conveyed to him, and follows a path other than that becoming to men of Faith, We shall leave him in the path he has chosen, and land him in Hell,- what an evil refuge!
PICKTHAL: And whoso opposeth the messenger after the guidance (of Allah) hath been manifested unto him, and followeth other than the believer's way, We appoint for him that unto which he himself hath turned, and expose him unto hell - a hapless journey's end!
SHAKIR: And whoever acts hostilely to the Messenger after that guidance has become manifest to him, and follows other than the way of the believers, We will turn him to that to which he has (himself) turned and make him enter hell; and it is an evil resort.

          If any one chooses the path of fighting, violence, and magic after guidance has been given to him, allow him to go down the path he has chosen.  He will end up in Hell on Earth.  His heart will become filled with the disease of anger, doubt, and fear. He will find refuge in the belly of the fish.

The Unforgivable Sin (Joining Others With God)

 Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   116
YUSUFALI: Allah forgiveth not (The sin of) joining other gods with Him; but He forgiveth whom He pleaseth other sins than this: one who joins other gods with Allah, Hath strayed far, far away (from the right).
PICKTHAL: Lo! Allah pardoneth not that partners should be ascribed unto Him. He pardoneth all save that to whom He will. Whoso ascribeth partners unto Allah hath wandered far astray.
SHAKIR: Surely Allah does not forgive that anything should be associated with Him, and He forgives what is besides this to whom He pleases; and whoever associates anything with Allah, he indeed strays off into a remote error.

          You are not allowed to join men with God the Creator. If you take on evil and go out to become and aggressive people throughout the Earth, you have chosen Devils for leaders and you will be soon enough be surrounded by Hell on Earth.  You must change that which has been done by the hands of the family members and by leaders in the communities. Those who teach Fire (anger, doubt, and fear) to the people must be replaced with good and righteous leaders.

To Call on Power and Might Rather than Calling on the Knowledge of God

 Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   117
YUSUFALI: (The Pagans), leaving Him, call but upon female deities: They call but upon satan the persistent rebel!
PICKTHAL: They invoke in His stead only females; they pray to none else than Satan, a rebel
SHAKIR: They do not call besides Him on anything but idols, and they do not call on anything but a rebellious Shaitan.

          THE LIVING SATAN (MAN) TURNS TO HIS COUNTRY AS THE GREATEST BEING WHEN HE HAS BECOME FULL OF SIN! Your country becomes your “angel”! In other words you will begin to depend on the armies and control of the leaders to bring peace and security.  GO AHEAD YOU DAMNED FOOLS! YOU HAVE FALLEN AGAIN FOR THE TRICK OF SATAN (MEN OF SIN)! These leaders are rebelling against patience and self-restraint. They will turn against you once they have the control and power they need. They are more of an enemy to you than the enemies they have created for you. They “pretend” to pray as you pray but they have become satan in the flesh.

These were the cursed (add to top!!)

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   118
YUSUFALI: Allah did curse him, but he said: "I will take of Thy servants a portion Marked off;
PICKTHAL: Whom Allah cursed, and he said: Surely I will take of Thy bondmen an appointed portion,
SHAKIR: Allah has cursed him; and he said: Most certainly I will take of Thy servants an appointed portion:

          These people who turn to their countries for strength are the people who fall under the “curse”! They have been taught by their preachers and teachers that this is right when indeed it is wrong. God the Creator will take an “appointed portion” of the armies who go out and attack others. You have become fools and do not realize it.  You will march right in to hell!

The Dwelling of Satan

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   119
YUSUFALI: "I will mislead them, and I will create in them false desires; I will order them to slit the ears of cattle, and to deface the (fair) nature created by Allah." Whoever, forsaking Allah, takes satan for a friend, hath of a surety suffered a loss that is manifest.
PICKTHAL: And surely I will lead them astray, and surely I will arouse desires in them, and surely I will command them and they will cut the cattle' ears, and surely I will command them and they will change Allah's creation. Whoso chooseth Satan for a patron instead of Allah is verily a loser and his loss is manifest.
SHAKIR: And most certainly I will lead them astray and excite in them vain desires, and bid them so that they shall slit the ears of the cattle, and most certainly I will bid them so that they shall alter Allah's creation; and whoever takes the Shaitan for a guardian rather than Allah he indeed shall suffer a manifest loss.

          God the Creator will allow them to mislead themselves and they will have “false desires” in their hearts. They will scatter their people and they will not be able to hear truth. They will be defaced and their true “nature” will be seen.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   120
YUSUFALI: Satan makes them promises, and creates in them false desires; but satan's promises are nothing but deception.
PICKTHAL: He promiseth them and stirreth up desires in them, and Satan promiseth them only to beguile.
SHAKIR: He gives them promises and excites vain desires in them; and the Shaitan does not promise them but to deceive.

          You will be made promises of security and peace but will never see them. These promises are nothing but something to “deceive” you. This is part of the “deception” of satan (evil men).  You can only have peace when you enter with peace.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   121
YUSUFALI: They (his dupes) will have their dwelling in Hell, and from it they will find no way of escape.
PICKTHAL: For such, their habitation will be hell, and they will find no refuge there from.
SHAKIR: These are they whose abode is hell, and they shall not find any refuge from it.

          Those who follow this leader will have their day in Hell. There will be “no” escape for them.  This is what you have brought to yourselves for being disobedient.  You must stay away from this path because it is the path of satan (evil men).

YUSUFALI: But those who believe and do deeds of righteousness,- we shall soon admit them to gardens, with rivers flowing beneath,-to dwell therein for ever. Allah's promise is the truth, and whose word can be truer than Allah's?
PICKTHAL: But as for those who believe and do good works We shall bring them into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide for ever. It is a promise from Allah in truth; and who can be more truthful than Allah in utterance?
SHAKIR: And (as for) those who believe and do good, We will make them enter into gardens beneath which rivers flow, to abide therein for ever; (it is) a promise of Allah, true (indeed), and who is truer of word than Allah?

          The Home of the Righteous will be Gardens which rivers of water (knowledge) flowing beneath.  You will be walking on water (knowledge). Everywhere you go you will see this knowledge and wisdom. You will have brought Heaven to Earth “forever”. This is the sign (example) of the Day of Judgment (Resurrection).

 Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   123
YUSUFALI: Not your desires, nor those of the People of the Book (can prevail): whoever works evil, will be requited accordingly. Nor will he find, besides Allah, any protector or helper.
PICKTHAL: It will not be in accordance with your desires, nor the desires of the People of the Scripture. He who doeth wrong will have the recompense thereof, and will not find against Allah any protecting friend or helper.
SHAKIR: (This) shall not be in accordance with your vain desires nor in accordance with the vain desires of the followers of the Book; whoever does evil, he shall be requited with it, and besides Allah he will find for himself neither a guardian nor a helper.

          Not the evil desires of the hypocrites amongst us or the desires of the People of the Book will prevail against the truth. Whoever works evil will be seen for what they have done by the people. Once the hearts take on the “Rapture” and go up to the Seven Heavens, there will be no need for armies and evil leaders or prisons! The Earth will be as it is in Heaven. Amen! This is the duty of those who will re-build the Garden each time it falls.

Good and Righteous, Male and Female Enter Heaven

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   124
YUSUFALI: If any do deeds of righteousness,- be they male or female - and have faith, they will enter Heaven, and not the least injustice will be done to them.
PICKTHAL: And whoso doeth good works, whether of male or female, and he (or she) is a believer, such will enter paradise and they will not be wronged the dint in a date-stone.
SHAKIR: And whoever does good deeds whether male or female and he (or she) is a believer-- these shall enter the garden, and they shall not be dealt with a jot unjustly.

          All of you can enter Heaven on Earth also if you take on deeds of righteousness. You must see the “reality” in this statement. This is what you must do to bring about a change. Your destiny and ending depends on you!  You will enter Heaven on Earth if you obey this commandment.   THIS IS WHAT LEADERS AND PREACHERS WILL NOT TEACH YOU! THEY WANT TO CONTROL YOU AND TAKE USE OF YOUR RESOURCES (children and riches). Replacing them with good and righteous leaders from amongst yourselves will solve this problem.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   125
YUSUFALI: Who can be better in religion than one who submits his whole self to Allah, does good, and follows the way of Abraham the true in Faith? For Allah did take Abraham for a friend.
PICKTHAL: Who is better in religion than he who surrendereth his purpose to Allah while doing good (to men) and followeth the tradition of Abraham, the upright? Allah (Himself) chose Abraham for friend.
SHAKIR: And who has a better religion than he who submits himself entirely to Allah? And he is the doer of good (to others) and follows the faith of Ibrahim, the upright one, and Allah took Ibrahim as a friend.

          THE BEST “RELIGION” IS TAKING ON A WAY OF LIFE AND TURNING YOUR HEART AND THOUGHTS TOWARDS GOD THE CREATOR OF THE HEAVENS AND EARTH! This is best though no one sees it as the simple thing to do. Common sense will go a long way in life. It is help in gaining knowledge and wisdom.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   126
YUSUFALI: But to Allah belong all things in the heavens and on earth: And He it is that Encompasses all things.
PICKTHAL: Unto Allah belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. Allah ever surrounds all things.
SHAKIR: And whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is Allah's; and Allah encompasses all things.

          This good teaching will go beyond everything you can imagine. It cannot be prevented even if the enemies say it is of violence and fighting. You will prove their teachings false each and every time.

Reminders for the People of the Book

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   127
YUSUFALI: They ask thy instruction concerning the women say: Allah doth instruct you about them: And (remember) what hath been rehearsed unto you in the Book, concerning the orphans of women to whom ye give not the portions prescribed, and yet whom ye desire to marry, as also concerning the children who are weak and oppressed: that ye stand firm for justice to orphans. There is not a good deed which ye do, but Allah is well-acquainted therewith.
PICKTHAL: They consult thee concerning women. Say: Allah giveth you decree concerning them, and the Scripture which hath been recited unto you (giveth decree), concerning female orphans and those unto whom ye give not that which is ordained for them though ye desire to marry them, and (concerning) the weak among children, and that ye should deal justly with orphans. Whatever good ye do, lo! Allah is ever Aware of it.
SHAKIR: And they ask you a decision about women. Say: Allah makes known to you His decision concerning them, and that which is recited to you in the Book concerning female orphans whom you do not give what is appointed for them while you desire to marry them, and concerning the weak among children, and that you should deal towards orphans with equity; and whatever good you do, Allah surely knows it.

          You should protect and help the orphans and especially the women. The human family grows and lives by what comes from the womb of the woman. If she has no one to care for her then she must be taken care of. This is your duty and is also a commandment.  You should not look to take advantage of women. This a horrible and shameful thing.

Wife May Divorce in Case of Cruelty or Desertion

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   128
YUSUFALI: If a wife fears cruelty or desertion on her husband's part, there is no blame on them if they arrange an amicable settlement between themselves; and such settlement is best; even though men's souls are swayed by greed. But if ye do good and practice self-restraint, Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do.
PICKTHAL: If a woman fears ill treatment from her husband, or desertion, it is no sin for them twain if they make terms of peace between themselves. Peace is better. But greed hath been made present in the minds (of men). If ye do good and keep from evil, lo! Allah is ever Informed of what ye do.
SHAKIR: And if a woman fears ill usage or desertion on the part of her husband, there is no blame on them, if they effect a reconciliation between them, and reconciliation is better, and avarice has been made to be present in the (people's) minds; and if you do good (to others) and guard (against evil), then surely Allah is aware of what you do.

          In the event the wife fears “cruelty” or “desertion” she may arrange a settlement between themselves. These are the rights she has and must these rights must be given to her. If you do good and practice self-restraint you will find success.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   129
YUSUFALI: Ye are never able to be fair and just as between women, even if it is your ardent desire: But turn not away (from a woman) altogether, so as to leave her (as it were) hanging (in the air). If ye come to a friendly understanding, and practise self-restraint, Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
PICKTHAL: Ye will not be able to deal equally between (your) wives, however much ye wish (to do so). But turn not altogether away (from one), leaving her as in suspense. If ye do good and keep from evil, lo! Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.
SHAKIR: And you have it not in your power to do justice between wives, even though you may wish (it), but be not disinclined (from one) with total disinclination, so that you leave her as it were in suspense; and if you effect a reconciliation and guard (against evil), then surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

          You are not allowed to turn away from the woman and leave her out with nothing, especially if she has your children. You are responsible for your children and should work to save your marriage for their sake and yours in the eyes of God the Creator.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   130
YUSUFALI: But if they disagree (and must part), Allah will provide abundance for all from His all-reaching bounty: for Allah is He that cares for all and is Wise.
PICKTHAL: But if they separate, Allah will compensate each out of His abundance. Allah is ever All-Embracing, All-Knowing.
SHAKIR: And if they separate, Allah will render them both free from want out of His ampleness, and Allah is Ample-giving, Wise.

          If you are unable to settle your disagreement you must look to God the Creator to provide guidance for you so that you may avoid having the “same” problem again.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   131
YUSUFALI: To Allah belong all things in the heavens and on earth. Verily we have directed the People of the Book before you, and you (o Muslims) to fear Allah. But if ye deny Him, lo! unto Allah belong all things in the heavens and on earth, and Allah is free of all wants, worthy of all praise.
PICKTHAL: Unto Allah belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. And We charged those who received the Scripture before you, and (We charge) you, that ye keep your duty toward Allah. And if ye disbelieve, lo! unto Allah belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, and Allah is ever Absolute, Owner of Praise.
SHAKIR: And whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is Allah's and certainly We enjoined those who were given the Book before you and (We enjoin) you too that you should be careful of (your duty to) Allah; and if you disbelieve, then surely whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is Allah's and Allah is Self-sufficient, Praise-worthy.

          The People of the Book have been directed before you to fear the day when your heart will be given to anger, doubt of belief in patience and self-restraint, and fear of loosing life and wealth. God the Creator is free of wants and you should be the same.

          The Holy Qur’an (Holy Book) can judge the affairs of Christians, Muslims, Jews, and even Hindus if they will “listen” to the beautiful words being recited by this book.

God has the Power to Create Another Race!!!

 Previous Screen

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   133
YUSUFALI: If it were His will, He could destroy you, o mankind, and create another race; for He hath power this to do.
PICKTHAL: If He will, He can remove you, O people, and produce others (in your stead). Allah is Able to do that.
SHAKIR: If He please, He can make you pass away, O people! and bring others; and Allah has the power to do this.

          God the Creator of the Heavens and Earth has the power to create a “new people” and leave you alone!  It is His decision.  You claim you are special and chosen but you are “all” chosen for His Law (Covenant).  If the people turn against you it will be just fine. Your teachings will help bring about a new people who will not be in the same evil “nature” as those you offered to help.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   134
YUSUFALI: If any one desires a reward in this life, in Allah's (gift) is the reward (both) of this life and of the hereafter: for Allah is He that heareth and seeth (all things).
PICKTHAL: Whoso desireth the reward of the world, (let him know that) with Allah is the reward of the world and the Hereafter. Allah is ever Hearer, Seer.
SHAKIR: Whoever desires the reward of this world, then with Allah is the reward of this world and the hereafter; and Allah is Hearing, Seeing.

          Those who seek the knowledge, wisdom, and understanding in this life will find it in this life and the next.  You will return to God the Creator and He will be pleased with you and your work.  You will also leave behind knowledge and wisdom which will allow others to learn long after you.  This is a commandment. When you take on this way of life you will see “Heaven and Peace” each day in your heart.

Be Just Concerning Everyone

 Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   135
YUSUFALI: O ye who believe! stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for Allah can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest ye swerve, and if ye distort (justice) or decline to do justice, verily Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do.
PICKTHAL: O ye who believe! Be ye staunch in justice, witnesses for Allah, even though it be against yourselves or (your) parents or (your) kindred, whether (the case be of) a rich man or a poor man, for Allah is nearer unto both (them ye are). So follow not passion lest ye lapse (from truth) and if ye lapse or fall away, then lo! Allah is ever Informed of what ye do.
SHAKIR: O you who believe! be maintainers of justice, bearers of witness of Allah's sake, though it may be against your own selves or (your) parents or near relatives; if he be rich or poor, Allah is nearer to them both in compassion; therefore do not follow (your) low desires, lest you deviate; and if you swerve or turn aside, then surely Allah is aware of what you do.

          You must stand firm for equal justice and bear witness to the truth. Even if it is yourselves you must teach the truth. You must even teach your own parents the truth so that they may find a better way. God the Creator and His Supreme Wisdom will help you be guided in the right way. God the Creator sees all you do.

You Cannot Deny God , His Messengers, His Angels, or His Scriptures (Revelation)

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   136
YUSUFALI: O ye who believe! Believe in Allah and His Messenger, and the scripture which He hath sent to His Messenger and the scripture which He sent to those before (him). Any who denieth Allah, His angels, His Books, His Messengers, and the Day of Judgment, hath gone far, far astray.
PICKTHAL: O ye who believe! Believe in Allah and His messenger and the Scripture which He hath revealed unto His messenger, and the Scripture which He revealed aforetime. Whoso disbelieveth in Allah and His angels and His scriptures and His messengers and the Last Day, he verily hath wandered far astray.
SHAKIR: O you who believe! believe in Allah and His Messenger and the Book which He has revealed to His Messenger and the Book which He revealed before; and whoever disbelieves in Allah and His angels and His messengers and the last day, he indeed strays off into a remote error.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   137
YUSUFALI: Those who believe, then reject faith, then believe (again) and (again) reject faith, and go on increasing in unbelief,- Allah will not forgive them nor guide them nor guide them on the way.
PICKTHAL: Lo! those who believe, then disbelieve and then (again) believe, then disbelieve, and then increase in disbelief, Allah will never pardon them, nor will He guide them unto a way.
SHAKIR: Surely (as for) those who believe then disbelieve, again believe and again disbelieve, then increase in disbelief, Allah will not forgive them nor guide them in the (right) path.

          Those who take on patience and self-restraint but continue to go back and forth will increase their path to no where. You will become useless in the family and community.  No one will look to forgive you since you continue to do the same things over and over again.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   138
YUSUFALI: To the Hypocrites give the glad tidings that there is for them (but) a grievous penalty;-
PICKTHAL: Bear unto the hypocrites the tidings that for them there is a painful doom;
SHAKIR: Announce to the hypocrites that they shall have a painful chastisement:

          The hypocrites among you must be shown the correct way. They must know that by continuing in their bad ways they will bring harm to themselves. This is the doom for those who turn to violence rather than truth.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   139
YUSUFALI: Yea, to those who take for friends unbelievers rather than believers: is it honour they seek among them? Nay,- all honour is with Allah.
PICKTHAL: Those who chose disbelievers for their friends instead of believers! Do they look for power at their hands? Lo! all power appertaineth to Allah.
SHAKIR: Those who take the unbelievers for guardians rather than believers. Do they seek honor from them? Then surely all honor is for Allah.

          Those who take for friends the evil ones are looking to be seen by them. They are all the same people. One lives with you while the other does not.

Word Sent in the Book

 Previous Screen

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   140
YUSUFALI: Already has He sent you Word in the Book, that when ye hear the signs of Allah held in defiance and ridicule, ye are not to sit with them unless they turn to a different theme: if ye did, ye would be like them. For Allah will collect the hypocrites and those who defy faith - all in Hell:-
PICKTHAL: He hath already revealed unto you in the Scripture that, when ye hear the revelations of Allah rejected and derided, (ye) sit not with them (who disbelieve and mock) until they engage in some other conversation. Lo! in that case (if ye stayed) ye would be like unto them. Lo! Allah will gather hypocrites and disbelievers, all together, into hell;
SHAKIR: And indeed He has revealed to you in the Book that when you hear Allah's communications disbelieved in and mocked at do not sit with them until they enter into some other discourse; surely then you would be like them; surely Allah will gather together the hypocrites and the unbelievers all in hell.

          You should not sit with those who change the signs (examples) of God the Creator to mockery and magic. They must teach what will help you in reality. If you sit with those who are of the Devil in “nature” you will end up just like them. This is also part of the Word of God the Creator that was been changed to seem good to you.  You must gain sight to recognize this sight so that you and your families and communities will be safe from this creature.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   141
YUSUFALI: (These are) the ones who wait and watch about you: if ye do gain a victory from Allah, they say: "Were we not with you?"- but if the unbelievers gain a success, they say (to them): "Did we not gain an advantage over you, and did we not guard you from the believers?" but Allah will judge between you on the Day of Judgment. And never will Allah grant to the unbelievers a way (to triumphs) over the believers.
PICKTHAL: Those who wait upon occasion in regard to you and, if a victory cometh unto you from Allah, say: Are we not with you? and if the disbelievers meet with a success say: Had we not the mastery of you, and did we not protect you from the believers? - Allah will judge between you at the Day of Resurrection, and Allah will not give the disbelievers any way (of success) against the believers.
SHAKIR: Those who wait for (some misfortune to befall) you then If you have a victory from Allah they say: Were we not with you? And i. there IS a chance for the unbelievers, they say: Did we not acquire the mastery over you and defend you from the believers? So Allah shall Judge between you on the day of resurrection, and Allah will by no means give the unbelievers a way against the believers.

          Those who take to aggression against others will “never” see victory yet they realize it not. The many books and teachings they bring about will never prevail. Those who wish to turn you back do not have a chance so allow them to tire and destroy themselves.

The Hypocrites (Those Who Want To Be Seen of Men)

 Previous Screen

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   142
YUSUFALI: The Hypocrites - they think they are over-reaching Allah, but He will over-reach them: When they stand up to prayer, they stand without earnestness, to be seen of men, but little do they hold Allah in remembrance;
PICKTHAL: Lo! the hypocrites seek to beguile Allah, but it is He Who beguileth them. When they stand up to worship they perform it languidly and to be seen of men, and are mindful of Allah but little;
SHAKIR: Surely the hypocrites strive to deceive Allah, and He shall requite their deceit to them, and when they stand up to prayer they stand up sluggishly; they do it only to be seen of men and do not remember Allah save a little.

          When hypocrites stand up for prayer they pray for a great war to take them back to power. They pray for destruction to come before peace can return to Earth. This was the way of Babylon and is not the way for Muslims, Christians, and Jews who are Believers. Those who preach and teach this madness should be ashamed of themselves.  The people will on the Day of Judgment (Resurrection) see them for who they really are. All will be brought to the light.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   143
YUSUFALI: (They are) distracted in mind even in the midst of it,- being (sincerely) for neither one group nor for another whom Allah leaves straying,- never wilt thou find for him the way.
PICKTHAL: Swaying between this (and that), (belonging) neither to these nor to those. He whom Allah causeth to go astray, thou (O Muhammad) wilt not find a way for him:
SHAKIR: Wavering between that (and this), (belonging) neither to these nor to those; and whomsoever Allah causes to err, you shall not find a way for him.

          Their minds are distracted in payback and control of people and their resources. Neither of them will be successful even if there are many. The Day of Judgment (Resurrection) will come and grab a hold to what little they are holding on to. Evil will never live for long.  It will be conquered again and again.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   144
YUSUFALI: O ye who believe! Take not for friends unbelievers rather than believers: Do ye wish to offer Allah an open proof against yourselves?
PICKTHAL: O ye who believe! Choose not disbelievers for (your) friends in place of believers. Would ye give Allah a clear warrant against you?
SHAKIR: O you who believe! do not take the unbelievers for friends rather than the believers; do you desire that you should give to Allah a manifest proof against yourselves?

          If you take for friends those who do not believe in patience and self-restraint you will have welcomed the Devil in the Flesh into your homes and communities. Soon trouble will come forth and the people will relate to you as the one who brought trouble into the Garden.  You must avoid what will cause you trouble.

The Hypocrites Are in the Lowest Depths of the Fire

 Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   145
YUSUFALI: The Hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fire: no helper wilt thou find for them;-
PICKTHAL: Lo! the hypocrites (will be) in the lowest deep of the Fire, and thou wilt find no helper for them;
SHAKIR: Surely the hypocrites are in the lowest stage of the fire and you shall not find a helper for them.

          The hypocrites will be at the lowest depths of Fire (anger, doubt, and fear). Who are the hypocrites? They are those who come to patience and self-restraint but then turn to war and poverty as a way to control the people. They start believing “an eye for an eye” and “a tooth for a tooth”! They bring to themselves and their families a terrible punishment.  You must take the heart and place in it Love, Mercy, and Compassion to save yourselves. 

All Must REPENT and PURIFY Their Religion (Way of Life)

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   146
YUSUFALI: Except for those who repent, mend (their lives) hold fast to Allah, and purify their religion as in Allah's sight: if so they will be (numbered) with the believers. And soon will Allah grant to the believers a reward of immense value.
PICKTHAL: Save those who repent and amend and hold fast to Allah and make their religion pure for Allah (only). Those are with the believers. And Allah will bestow on the believers an immense reward.
SHAKIR: Except those who repent and amend and hold fast to Allah and are sincere in their religion to Allah, these are with the believers, and Allah will grant the believers a mighty reward.

          All of those who “repent” and “purify” their religion as God the Creator sees it will be saved. This is the test for “all”! We all have to bring our hearts to Love, Mercy, and Compassion. Every Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Jew, Buddhist, Sikh, and any other who comes together at the reading of this beautiful book will become BELIEVERS!  You will all be ONE PEOPLE! Amongst ourselves we can all get together and discuss this Law (Covenant) that we have been given in this book in FULL! There will be a great value in the learning and knowledge that will be shared.

          During the time of Master (Great Prophet and Messiah) Muhammad there was this same sharing of knowledge and wisdom. We must turn our backs to those who do not want to take the Qur’an as it is. This is the problem that keeps all people from sharing the “same” water (knowledge).

           

God Gains Nothing by Punishing the Grateful and Those Who Believe

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   147
YUSUFALI: What can Allah gain by your punishment, if ye are grateful and ye believe? Nay, it is Allah that recogniseth (all good), and knoweth all things.
PICKTHAL: What concern hath Allah for your punishment if ye are thankful (for His mercies) and believe (in Him)? Allah was ever Responsive, Aware.
SHAKIR: Why should Allah chastise you if you are grateful and believe? And Allah is the Multiplier of rewards, Knowing

          You must understand that God the Creator of the Heavens and Earth gains “nothing” by your punishment. He is saddened when He sees His people going to Hell on Earth! You must know this as I write it now.  If you are grateful and believe in patience and self-restraint you will be saved. This is what God the Creator of the Heavens and Earth wants from you. This is your purpose in life. It is to gain knowledge and learn understanding so that you may teach wisdom to others. This is your purpose in life.

Evil Noised Abroad in Public Speech Forbidden (Except when Injustice is Feared)

 Previous Screen

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   148
YUSUFALI: Allah loves not that evil should be noised abroad in public speech, except where injustice hath been done; for Allah is He who hears and knoweth all things.
PICKTHAL: Allah loves not the utterance of harsh speech save by one who hath been wronged. Allah is ever Hearer, Knower.
SHAKIR: Allah does not love the public utterance of hurtful speech unless (it be) by one to whom injustice has been done; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing.

          You should not go in public and teach evil to others! This is very bad and it will bring disease to the hearts of the peaceful. You are allowed to gather where you see injustice.  It can be said in public then but you should always try to solve your problems peacefully so that others do not get hurt.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   149
YUSUFALI: Whether ye publish a good deed or conceal it or cover evil with pardon, verily Allah doth blot out (sins) and hath power (in the judgment of values).
PICKTHAL: If ye do good openly or keep it secret, or forgive evil, lo! Allah is ever Forgiving, Powerful.
SHAKIR: If you do good openly or do it in secret or pardon an evil then surely Allah is Pardoning, Powerful.

          If you publish a good deed or keep it to yourselves God the Creator knows and can see it.  You must be able to do the same. You should be able to see the changes in the hearts and thoughts of people when they are preached to.  If the violence and lack of knowledge are not going away even when people are listening, you must continue until someone comes along who can lead properly.

Rejecting Messengers and Accepting Others

 Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   150
YUSUFALI: Those who deny Allah and His messengers, and (those who) wish to separate Allah from His messengers, saying: "We believe in some but reject others": And (those who) wish to take a course midway,-
PICKTHAL: Lo! those who disbelieve in Allah and His messengers, and seek to make distinction between Allah and His messengers, and say: We believe in some and disbelieve in others, and seek to choose a way in between;
SHAKIR: Surely those who disbelieve in Allah and His messengers and (those who) desire to make a distinction between Allah and His messengers and say: We believe in some and disbelieve in others, and desire to take a course between (this and) that.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   151
YUSUFALI: They are in truth (equally) unbelievers; and we have prepared for unbelievers a humiliating punishment.
PICKTHAL: Such are disbelievers in truth; and for disbelievers We prepare a shameful doom.
SHAKIR: These it is that are truly unbelievers, and We have prepared for the unbelievers a disgraceful chastisement.

          Those who refuse patience and self-restraint along with those who take a Messenger and a god for themselves are of the same. All of them will find what they are looking for in the end. They will become lost.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   152
YUSUFALI: To those who believe in Allah and His messengers and make no distinction between any of the messengers, we shall soon give their (due) rewards: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
PICKTHAL: But those who believe in Allah and His messengers and make no distinction between any of them, unto them Allah will give their wages; and Allah was ever Forgiving, Merciful.
SHAKIR: And those who believe in Allah and His messengers and do not make a distinction between any of them-- Allah will grant them their rewards; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

          Those who make no difference between the Messengers (Teachers of Truth) will find their due rewards. You will find forgiveness.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   153
YUSUFALI: The people of the Book ask thee to cause a book to descend to them from heaven: Indeed they asked Moses for an even greater (miracle), for they said: "Show us Allah in public," but they were dazed for their presumption, with thunder and lightning. Yet they worshipped the calf even after clear signs had come to them; even so we forgave them; and gave Moses manifest proofs of authority.
PICKTHAL: The people of the Scripture ask of thee that thou shouldst cause an (actual) Book to descend upon them from heaven. They asked a greater thing of Moses aforetime, for they said: Show us Allah plainly. The storm of lightning seized them for their wickedness. Then (even) after that) they chose the calf (for worship) after clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty) had come unto them. And We forgave them that! And We bestowed on Moses evident authority.
SHAKIR: The followers of the Book ask you to bring down to them a book from heaven; so indeed they demanded of Musa a greater thing than that, for they said: Show us Allah manifestly; so the lightning overtook them on account of their injustice. Then they took the calf (for a god), after clear signs had come to them, but We pardoned this; and We gave to Musa clear authority.

          The people are looking for a book to drop down from Heaven. They have the book here but realize it not. Even those who followed Master (Great Prophet and Messiah) Moses disputed with him and were still forgiven. When they turned to the calf (man) they took another in place of God the Creator. They turned back and were forgiven so you must do the same. This is a commandment. Those who do not turn back from disease of the heart will see Hell in their faces. This “always” comes true.

The Transgression in Matter of the Sabbath

 Previous Screen

 Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   154
YUSUFALI: And for their covenant we raised over them (the towering height) of Mount (Sinai); and (on another occasion) we said: "Enter the gate with humility"; and (once again) we commanded them: "Transgress not in the matter of the sabbath." And we took from them a solemn covenant.
PICKTHAL: And We caused the Mount to tower above them at (the taking of) their covenant: and We bade them: Enter the gate, prostrate! and We bode them: Transgress not the Sabbath! and We took from them a firm covenant.
SHAKIR: And We lifted the mountain (Sainai) over them at (the li taking of the covenant) and We said to them: Enter the door making obeisance; and We said to them: Do not exceed the limits of the Sabbath, and We made with them a firm covenant.

          The people were told to enter the “gate” at “one” entrance!  It was to enter the gate in “humility”! This means you submit your will to the Will of God the Creator!

          There was a group of them who “refuses” to bow down in Babylon. They were the people who followed the Code of Hammurabi! They decided they would create a god for themselves and make others work for them. This was the beginning of what had lasted 6,000 years before the coming of Master (Great Prophet and Messiah) Jesus. He came to change the Sabbath.       This was the law that formed the “Democracies” of the world and many others who took part in the “slave trade”!  This is why the Christ, Messiah, and Madhi would come!  It would be to bring together the human family again. It would be to face the Re-building of Babylon in the cities over the world. It would be to prevent innocent people from remaining at the bottom while others left and enjoyed rest. The Sabbath has to be changed because of “slavery”!

Slew the Messengers in Defiance of Right

 Previous Screen

 Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   155
YUSUFALI: (They have incurred divine displeasure): In that they broke their covenant; that they rejected the signs of Allah; that they slew the Messengers in defiance of right; that they said, "Our hearts are the wrappings (which preserve Allah's Word; We need no more)";- Nay, Allah hath set the seal on their hearts for their blasphemy, and little is it they believe;-
PICKTHAL: Then because of their breaking of their covenant, and their disbelieving in the revelations of Allah, and their slaying of the prophets wrongfully, and their saying: Our hearts are hardened - Nay, but Allah set a seal upon them for their disbelief, so that they believe not save a few -
SHAKIR: Therefore, for their breaking their covenant and their disbelief in the communications of Allah and their killing the prophets wrongfully and their saying: Our hearts are covered; nay! Allah set a seal upon them owing to their unbelief, so they shall not believe except a few.

          They killed the Messengers (Teachers of Truth) by promoting the agreement of slavery in religious teachings.  Africans even did the same things later to their own people. Arabs were slaves and even slave owners when Master (Great Prophet and Messiah) Muhammad came on the scene. This is why Master (Great Prophet and Messiah) Muhammad came to teach a different religion (way of life).  He had to save the Jewish people and the black and dark-skinned people who were “slaves” in Rome. The Jewish people had been tricked and would be used later for retribution since they would take the blame for the sins of others. This is why Master (Great Prophet and Messiah) Jesus went to the Jewish people. They had allowed the ways of the Romans to become their ways! We must re-teach “all” again to remove the madness “each time” it comes. This is a commandment.  You do this by telling the truth and not by causing wars. MANY MUSLIMS WILL HAVE TO BE RE-TAUGHT ALSO AS THEY BELIEVE THE SAME! This madness must be removed from every part of the earth. All you have to do is teach the “truth” in a peaceful way.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   156
YUSUFALI: That they rejected Faith; that they uttered against Mary a grave false charge;
PICKTHAL: And because of their disbelief and of their speaking against Mary a tremendous calumny;
SHAKIR: And for their unbelief and for their having uttered against Marium a grievous calumny.

          This is known as rejecting Faith (patience and self-restraint). This is what will kill us all. When the leaders come to you with news of “peace and security” they are teaching the same thing and you should run from their speeches. The words of a man filled with anger and aggression is poison for heart and it kills all good intentions.

The Appearance in the Death of Jesus (Defiance of what is Right)

 Previous Screen

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   157
YUSUFALI: That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-
PICKTHAL: And because of their saying: We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah's messenger - they slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them; and lo! those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain.
SHAKIR: And their saying: Surely we have killed the Messiah, Isa son of Marium, the messenger of Allah; and they did not kill him nor did they crucify him, but it appeared to them so (like Isa) and most surely those who differ therein are only in a doubt about it; they have no knowledge respecting it, but only follow a conjecture, and they killed him not for sure.

          We must look at death in the teaching of Master (Great Prophet and Messiah) Jesus in reality.  We will not teach this as death but life. When you change the words of the Master (Great Prophet and Messiah) you have killed him.  You have changed the spirit of what he teaches to something else. Many after him hurt his teachings by changing “everything” about him to “magic’ and “miracles”! This was done purposely. Why was it done? It was done to take the minds of the people off of doing the works of God the Creator.  Teaching “Faith” as just believing hurt many of the followers of Master (Great Prophet and Messiah) Jesus. They would no longer do the work but would sit and wait for his return to make things better. What they “failed” to realize was the “process” which he came. I will teach this to you in “reality” terms!

You need the Holy Spirit (Pure Truth) to bring about a Christ, Messiah, and Madhi! The Holy Spirit is the Pure Truth. The Holy Spirit (Pure Truth) is in this book the Holy Qur’an (Holy Book).

Surah (Chapter) 2 Verse 067
YUSUFALI: And remember Moses said to his people: "Allah commands that ye sacrifice a heifer." They said: "Makest thou a laughing-stock of us?" He said: "Allah save me from being an ignorant (fool)!"
PICKTHAL: And when Moses said unto his people: Lo! Allah commandeth you that ye sacrifice a cow, they said: Dost thou make game of us? He answered: Allah forbid that I should be among the foolish!
SHAKIR: And when Musa said to his people: Surely Allah commands you that you should sacrifice a cow; they said: Do you ridicule us? He said: I seek the protection of Allah from being one of the ignorant.

            Moses commanded his people to sacrifice a heifer! What he wanted was the same as the Messengers to come and those of old wanted from the time of Messenger Adam.  He needed a pure and unblemished woman to bring about a Nation of Worshippers.  The woman is known as the heifer (mother) of the calf (child).  This is the answer to the mystery of the heifer and the calf.  You must have a good  woman that has purity in her heart and she must be in Remembrance (prayer) of God.

            This would allow Messengers to build communities that would be of purity in heart and thoughts. These Messengers (men) were to be Created in the Image Commanded by God. This is the answer to the mystery that many men and women have searched for the answers to.

            He asked God to save him from wrong doing people (fools). This is the prayer of the Messengers. They do not wish to see the day when the hearts and thoughts of men and women no longer reflect the purity of God. These are the hearts that  will give way to thoughts which will bring division (wars) and ignorance (lack of knowledge).

            The sacrifice does not mean you kill someone but it means you give your children (sacrifice) and their lives for the good of God.  Anyone who thinks of sacrifice meaning death is a fool and has the same thoughts as the fools of people from the past. 

            Sacrifice means struggling for purity!  This is the sacrifice that must be made.  You can see how tough it is for some to follow the struggle for purity. This is the mission of the Messengers (Prophets).

            They were being given Commandments on how to build a family (choose a wife) and how to build a community. They wanted to live amongst bad women who were of lust and they wanted their old customs and traditions too.  Either one or both of these would have brought destruction to the hearts and thoughts of men and women.

 

Surah (Chapter) 2 Verse 068
YUSUFALI: They said: "Beseech on our behalf Thy Lord to make plain to us what (heifer) it is!" He said; "He says: The heifer should be neither too old nor too young, but of middling age. Now do what ye are commanded!"
PICKTHAL: They said: Pray for us unto thy Lord that He make clear to us what (cow) she is. (Moses) answered: Lo! He saith, Verily she is a cow neither with calf nor immature; (she is) between the two conditions; so do that which ye are commanded.
SHAKIR: They said: Call on your Lord for our sake to make it plain to us what she is. Musa said: He says, Surely she is a cow neither advanced in age nor too young, of middle age between that (and this); do therefore what you are commanded.

            This was the condition for them to marry by.  They had to take a woman that was not too young and not too old.  She was to be a woman some where in the middle. This is the same Commandment you must follow if you are to build a new community and Resurrect an old one. You must go back and learn the path the Messengers (Prophets) traveled by.

 

Surah (Chapter) 2 Verse 069
YUSUFALI: They said: "Beseech on our behalf Thy Lord to make plain to us Her colour." He said: "He says: A fawn-coloured heifer, pure and rich in tone, the admiration of beholders!"
PICKTHAL: They said: Pray for us unto thy Lord that He make clear to us of what colour she is. (Moses) answered: Lo! He saith: Verily she is a yellow cow. Bright is her colour, gladdening beholders.
SHAKIR: They said: Call on your Lord for our sake to make it plain to us what her color is. Musa said: He says, Surely she is a yellow cow; her color is intensely yellow, giving delight to the beholders. The woman had to have a heart that was of purity.  She was to be a true gem for any man who would marry her.

 

Surah (Chapter) 2 Verse 070
YUSUFALI: They said: "Beseech on our behalf Thy Lord to make plain to us what she is: To us are all heifers alike: We wish indeed for guidance, if Allah wills."
PICKTHAL: They said: Pray for us unto thy Lord that He make clear to us what (cow) she is. Lo! cows are much alike to us; and Lo! if Allah wills, we may be led aright.
SHAKIR: They said: Call on your Lord for our sake to make it plain to us what she is, for surely to us the cows are all alike, and if Allah please we shall surely be guided aright.

            They were used to being with bad women (physical women and communities) til they had lost their way! This is the plain truth that is given for those who choose other than God.  You will come to a day when you will not know right from wrong.

 

Surah (Chapter) 2 Verse 071
YUSUFALI: He said: "He says: A heifer not trained to till the soil or water the fields; sound and without blemish." They said: "Now hast thou brought the truth." Then they offered her in sacrifice, but not with good-will.
PICKTHAL: (Moses) answered: Lo! He saith: Verily she is a cow unyoked; she plougheth not the soil nor watereth the tilth; whole and without mark. They said: Now thou bringest the truth. So they sacrificed her, though almost they did not.
SHAKIR: Musa said: He says, Surely she is a cow not made submissive that she should plough the land, nor does she irrigate the tilth; sound, without a blemish in her. They said: Now you have brought the truth; so they sacrificed her, though they had not the mind to do (it).

            They did not want to bring forth a woman of this nature since it would mean an end to the evil ways of the village and family. The woman was not to be a tiller of fields but a woman of purity free of sin. This woman would be with man to give birth to the Children of the Garden (place of peace).  This is the purpose of woman. She was never meant to be a slave to man.

            She was to be a woman that had not been taught the evil ways of men.  Can you not see the reality in this story and how it goes on later to refer to Mary?  Can you not see how they knew Christ was to come?  The reality is that they knew all along since the days of Messenger Adam how to raise the Christ, Madhi, Messiah!

Man must look at himself and realize his Reality as it relates to the world and its surroundings.  He has made a mistake when he chooses to look at this world as his understanding! He has chosen to turn away from the spiritual equivalent of what he can see with his eyes.

            In this short book Ministers will see how simple it is to get to the root of the mysteries that surround the Masters (Great Prophets and Messiahs). It will take Three Days for Hell to Visit Earth (Come Down on the People) and Three Days to Return.  THE SKIES WILL BRING EITHER RAIN OR HAIL (Bowing to and Evil Ruler)!  In other words you will either be ruled by an evil leader (satan in the flesh) or a Messenger of God as a Teacher of Truth (Word Becomes Flesh)! This is the simple relationship that has never been emphasized to the people. This Dumbness (Lack of Knowledge) has taken people to begin to see  life as a spooky journey.

            ALL OF YOU WHO ARE LOOKING FOR THE END OF THE WORLD MUST READ THIS BOOK!  I never look for death only life.  If you would take time to do the same you will find what you desire. The condition of your heart must turn to purity. No matter who you are you must have a clean and pure heart.  If this takes place all wars and divisions will end.

            Here is the simple three steps taken towards the spiritual development of the Human Solar System! It begins with the Law (Covenant) and a Heart of Purity!

1.    Sun – The Sun is the Brightest and Most Powerful Substance outside of God the Creator of the Sun and the Universe!  Man is Created by God and is supposed to be the source of Light (Understanding).  He is supposed to approach God with a Sound Heart.  He climbs the Mountain of Understanding as he takes in Knowledge and Gains Wisdom. He is able to give off Light (Understanding) from what Supreme Understanding God has Given to him.  He remains forever thankful. He never becomes ungrateful!  His heart is Free of anger, doubt of belief in self-restraint or patience, and fear of loosing life and wealth.

2.    Moon – The man must then meet a woman who is a Virgin (Pure at Heart) or he must Purify her Heart and Prepare it for Virginity! This is the Spiritual Way for men to reclaim the world and have dominion the Way God the Creator of the Heavens and Earth has allowed. This kind of dominion is allowed since it does not create a slavery or a forced punishment system.

3.    Stars – From the Sun (Man or Adam) and the Moon (Woman or Eve) you will get a Messiah!  He will be Blessed with Love, Compassion, and Mercy. If it is a Woman you should not worry. She will gain all substance and will be able to Give Birth to the Next Generation! The Woman gives Birth to what will become the Next Generation.  Therefore she must be protected since she carries the delicate eggs that will be needed for reproduction.

Spiritual Belief of Conception:

The Spiritual Belief of Conception is that you should never bring forth a seed that is of a bad heart.  If the man and woman are properly raised and taught good and righteous deeds, then the children will be the same.  If both man and woman have a heart of purity and have good and righteous deeds you will Give Birth to Children of the Garden of Eden! Children of Eternal Good and Happiness!!!

            This should be the only Message you go to hear from the Ministers who teach in the community.  If the man requests your monies you should get up and leave.  He should take the monies for him to deliver speeches always and bring forth no representatives who are good in the areas where he goes he must be removed.  He just wants your monies.  He should distribute them throughout the community in five Ways:

1.    God and His Messenger –The sciences such as education need to be taken from this distribution. This has been discussed in previous books.

2.    Near Kinsmen (Your Community) – Every person in the community will receive monies from this percentage. This help allows the rich and the poor some right to the charity distributed although the rich do not need this help. Every one receives a share of this distribution.

3.    Poor – Next are the poor who really need help. They should not be denied their share of this portion.  Even if they have received the second share from the kinsmen (community people) they still need this distribution.

4.    Elderly – The elderly need help since they have given their lives for the safety and peace of the family and community.

5.    Outside Community Coming Forth – Those who are peaceful and outside the community can receive charity from you.

If the funds are equally distributed there can be no failure!  You will all come up together and will work for the good of the community and family. Everyone will help each other achieve their goals.

            No country or community can fall when they obey this Charity Distribution.  EVERYONE IS EQUAL! 

The Death of the Messenger: Two Deaths ( His and His Message)

 

            The death of the Messenger (Teacher of Truth) came as a Result of One Thing! The Result of this was the Falling of His Heart from Heaven!  He allowed his heart to fall from the Remembrance of God the Creator of the Heavens and Earth!  The Falling of His Heart allowed him to be filled with anger, doubt of belief in self-restraint and patience, and fear of loosing wealth and life.  THIS WAS THE BEGINNING AND THE ROOT OF ALL THE HELL (HAIL) THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT DOWN TO EARTH!

            WHEN THE HEART FALLS FROM REMEMBRANCE IN THE LAW (COVENANT) OF GOD THEN THE HELL THAT HAS FALLEN TO THE HEART FALLS TO EARTH AND BECOMES FLESH!  THAT’S RIGHT!  SATAN WHO HAS NOT ACCEPTED HUMILITY IN HIS HEART HAS FALLEN FROM HEAVEN AND HAS COME TO BRING HIS HELL TO YOU!!! 

            Save yourself by Changing the Condition of Your Heart! Many of the most sophisticated and learned men and women have not yet Realized this Simple Concept. They wreck their brains day and night to find the answer to a problem that has already been solved.

            Many of us have already seen Heaven on Earth even if it is for a brief moment in time.  Once you quit being Fools for your Evil Leaders who Destroy all the Happiness for People Trying to Bring Peace and Control for themselves.  They are the ones who Destroy You. Then you take on their hearts and become a Product of the Land of Babylon. You become a slave to your leaders while they steal the riches and hide the knowledge from you.

            We must get to the subject that was to be discussed. How do you kill the Messenger two times?

1.    Messenger (Teacher of Truth) – The Messenger (Teacher of Truth) is taken up to God the Creator of the Heavens and Earth.  If he is a Writer of the Tablets (Scribes) of God he will not be forgotten.  His words will not be changed by others as time goes on because he will have left it himself. If he dies and leaves his words then others will take them and carry on his good work by the Spirit God has allowed him to leave with them. If he has Disciples (Followers) he will have even Greater Success!  If he does not leave behind writings and teachings then others will twist his words and soon evil men will use his words to bring harm to others. THIS IS THE DEATH OF THE MESSENGER (TEACHER OF TRUTH) THAT HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED BY ANOTHER MAN EQUAL OR EVEN GREATER THAN HE WAS!!! This is the mistake many Messengers (Teachers of Truth) have made in the past.  They did not leave their writings or the people hid their writings or sold them for miserable prices.  You will need to have writers who can carry the Truth on Ages to Ages.

2.    People are Rebellious –  When the leaders become greedy or full of hate and anger they strike others like snakes. They begin to bring harm to innocent people and lie to accomplish what they have in mind.  The people forget the sciences since they are more caught up in anger and greed. They loose track of raising Beautiful Children because they are more worried about power and greed. This itself Destroys society.  WHEN YOU KILL ONE IT IS AS IF YOU HAVE KILLED THE ENTIRE NATION OF PEOPLE!!! When you kill the Teachers of Truth the community and family falls.

When men and women do not live in Reality (Spiritual Insight) they live in Darkness (Prophecy and Miracles, and Spookism (new word?))! Spookism is defined as believing in every mystery that is of nature as floods, earthquakes, storms, winds, and any other things as a Punishment from God. This is the nature of the world and should be viewed in a different way.  If you believe this then every time you have a flood you will believe the world is going to end. Every time you see a different planet in the sky you will imagine life coming to an end due to the Ignorance (Rebellion) and Dumbness (Lack of Knowledge) of your Ministers (Teachers of Truth).  Your very heart will be filled with freight and you will become a common fool.

            This is the approach man has chosen when he began to teach his belief of God the Creator of the Heavens and Earth. They appeared in Two Physical Forms (Angels):

1.    Gabriel (Jabril) – When a man approaches you he must bring with him the Word (Law) from God! This means he does not change the Word (Law) for you to benefit himself.  He does not hide the knowledge from you and your family.  He comes to help bring the Spirit (Revelation or Truth) to your heart. This brings about a healing for you.

2.    Satan (Fallen One) – This angel or messenger must be shut out of your life.  He must not be allowed to teach his false miracles and magic to you and your children. This will bring about Dumb people who will never see the Reality of the Teachings of the Masters (Great Prophets and Messiahs).

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   158
YUSUFALI: Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise;-
PICKTHAL: But Allah took him up unto Himself. Allah was ever Mighty, Wise.
SHAKIR: Nay! Allah took him up to Himself; and Allah is Mighty, Wise.

          God the Creator raised Master (Great Prophet and Messiah) Jesus to Himself. This is what it reads.  How did this happen?  He placed in his heart Love, Mercy, Compassion, Patience, and Self-restraint! This is the “nature” Master (Great Prophet and Messiah) Jesus was created in!  This is the “nature” you must create “yourself” in! This is why you must understand this story as Master (Great Prophet and Messiah) Muhammad taught it. This was the “difference” in the teaching as he taught it. He taught the story the “same” as it was taught by Master (Great Prophet and Messiah) Moses. You would need to purify a heifer (woman) to bring about the Christ, Messiah, and Madhi. The truth still stands true today and it will be the “same” again and again.  Each time you need to bring one to purity you will have to raise one from among yourselves. This is why you must gain wisdom.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   159
YUSUFALI: And there is none of the People of the Book but must believe in him before his death; and on the Day of Judgment he will be a witness against them;-
PICKTHAL: There is not one of the People of the Scripture but will believe in him before his death, and on the Day of Resurrection he will be a witness against them -
SHAKIR: And there is not one of the followers of the Book but most certainly believes in this before his death, and on the day of resurrection he (Isa) shall be a witness against them.

What does this mean? This means they believed in his Supreme Teaching of Knowledge and Wisdom.  This is how it became a Sufi (Universal) way of thinking that allowed both the Jew, Muslim, Christian, Hindu, and Buddhists to “Believe” the “Same”!

          The teachings of the stories of Master (Great Prophet and Messiah) Jesus will be different for some Western Christians. They will still believe in one coming out of the sky and this will hurt their families and communities.  You may “never” see one coming down from Heaven but you can “see in reality”.  In reality you must raise Children of the Garden just as the story has been taught to you.   You are to be the Christ, Messiah, and Madhi. 

Messenger Jesus Changes the Foods of the Jews

 Previous Screen

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   160
YUSUFALI: For the iniquity of the Jews We made unlawful for them certain (foods) good and wholesome which had been lawful for them;- in that they hindered many from Allah's Way;-
PICKTHAL: Because of the wrongdoing of the Jews We forbade them good things which were (before) made lawful unto them, and because of their much hindering from Allah's way,
SHAKIR: Wherefore for the iniquity of those who are Jews did We disallow to them the good things which had been made lawful for them and for their hindering many (people) from Allah's way.

          For the Jewish people “foods” were made lawful for them. The food was both the physical and spiritual food. They were re-taught the Law (Covenant) in a way that would allow no harm to themselves or others. They were allowed to marry outside the family as long as the person was filled with God the Creator. They had to have Love, Mercy, and Compassion in their hearts. This is what was to become the Universal Way of Life. This is the Way of the Sufi (Universal Thinker).

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   161
YUSUFALI: That they took usury, though they were forbidden; and that they devoured men's substance wrongfully;- we have prepared for those among them who reject faith a grievous punishment.
PICKTHAL: And of their taking usury when they were forbidden it, and of their devouring people's wealth by false pretences, We have prepared for those of them who disbelieve a painful doom.
SHAKIR: And their taking usury though indeed they were forbidden it and their devouring the property of people falsely, and We have prepared for the unbelievers from among them a painful chastisement.

          Before I speak about our Jewish Brothers and Sisters I must also speak about Muslims and Christians:

1.     Muslims – Teaching fighting for death rather than for purity of heart.  Teach death in physical terms rather than in  spiritual terms as it relates to the condition of the heart.

2.     Christians – The Book of Revelation!  This is a warning of the “trick” satan would play on you at the end to regain his “iron fist”! This story is not supposed to be taught as “prophecy” and many European Christians in America and elsewhere know this.  THIS WAS THE COMING OF THE FALSE PROPHET!  We must stop looking for a great war to change the world. I ask you this. If God the Creator created the Heavens and Earth then why can He not create “another people”? Answer this question!  You must also go back and teach of the purification of the heifer (woman) again and turn from the false magic and miracles you are teaching.

          What happened with our Jewish Brothers is that they began to charge “interest” or “usury” to the people outside their families and communities which they did not believe in charging to themselves. This made it possible for others to be sold into slavery especially the blacks and darker-skinned people (Arabs and Asians) who would remain poor because of usury. All of those who were not Jewish would have to obey this system. This was the Sabbath that had to be changed.  This made the coming of the Master (Great Prophet and Messiah) Jesus needed badly.

          Why was usury (charging interest) forbidden?  It was forbidden because the one who owed the money would become a “slave” to the one who gave him the money.  How is this? This is because when you charge interest you have “inflated” an “artificial” amount of monies to be paid which you will almost “never” pay off. This kept you in debt to those who governed you. The king or governor would allow this and use it to send the poor and elderly back into debt.

          Because the poor and middle class made up the workforce,  the king would simply decide he would “dry up the funds” being given to the people and they would loose “all’ of what they had gained. This kept a “revolving door” open for the middle class and poor to be shuffled. Education was also a high price to pay and this kept the poor and middle class in poverty and left them with a lack of knowledge.

          As the people began to loose their belongings because the king or governor dried up funds to the people, he would become the ‘sacrifice” or “scapegoat”! He would be the one to take the blame for the sins committed by the governors and leaders. This was how the average citizen was tricked.  They began to hate one man when he was just the one who followed the orders of the rich themselves.  The governors and rulers simply had to stage a “Recess” or “Recession” and tell the people there was no more monies to go around.  When you see this in the “modern world” it is the same. When the economies grow too much they will take back some to always keep a certain class of people working and struggling.  This allowed the governors and religious leaders to come together to teach a “brain washing” that left the people dumb and under their control.  Jail became big since those who committed crimes because of poverty would be locked up in these jails.  Small crimes would cost you a lot while the leaders and rich ran off with the riches of the people and paid nothing but a small fine. If you could pay a bribery you would not serve time in jail if you were rich.

          After an “invasion” of a people they were controlled by being given jobs so they would think more about survival rather than what the leaders were stealing from them. Health care, welfare, and many things which are supposed to be granted according to the Law (Covenant) had to be paid for.

          This system is described in the Western Christian Bible as Lazarus. This was the policy the leaders used to keep themselves in power and to keep the race, tribe, or foreign people from rising to the level of “self independence”!

          The plan God the Creator set up was for “all” to receive “all” freely without being charged interest for monies you needed and no high prices for education.  You can “easily” see how Heaven would be brought to Earth if this Law (Covenant) were obeyed!

The Jewish People who Believe

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   162
YUSUFALI: But those among them who are well-grounded in knowledge, and the believers, believe in what hath been revealed to thee and what was revealed before thee: And (especially) those who establish regular prayer and practise regular charity and believe in Allah and in the Last Day: To them shall We soon give a great reward.
PICKTHAL: But those of them who are firm in knowledge and the believers believe in that which is revealed unto thee, and that which was revealed before thee, especially the diligent in prayer and those who pay the poor-due, the believers in Allah and the Last Day. Upon these We shall bestow immense reward.
SHAKIR: But the firm in knowledge among them and the believers believe in what has been revealed to. you and what was revealed before you, and those who keep up prayers and those who give the poor-rate and the believers in Allah and the last day, these it is whom We will give a mighty reward.

          Many of our Jewish Brothers and Sisters are well learned and are part of the Believers. The Muslims, Christians, and Jews who follow bad ways should be replaced “immediately” with people of good and righteous deeds. GOD THE CREATOR HAS A REWARD FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE JUST AS HE HAS A REWARD FOR ALL BELIEVERS!

          The Holy Qur’an (Holy Book) tells the truth whether you are Muslim, Christian, or Jewish.  It is the religions that keep us divided so we should find a “common” meeting place to solve our problems.

Inspiration Sent to the Messengers

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   163
YUSUFALI: We have sent thee inspiration, as We sent it to Noah and the Messengers after him: we sent inspiration to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes, to Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and solomon, and to David We gave the Psalms.
PICKTHAL: Lo! We inspire thee as We inspired Noah and the prophets after him, as We inspired Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and Jesus and Job and Jonah and Aaron and Solomon, and as We imparted unto David the Psalms;
SHAKIR: Surely We have revealed to you as We revealed to Nuh, and the prophets after him, and We revealed to Ibrahim and Ismail and Ishaq and Yaqoub and the tribes, and Isa and Ayub and Yunus and Haroun and Sulaiman and We gave to Dawood

          All of the Messengers (Teachers of Truth) were given inspiration. The Western Christians even have a great book in the Psalms of Master (Great Prophet and Messiah) David. This book God Willing will also be given to you for your reading upon completion of the discussion.

Some Messengers Not Spoken of

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   164
YUSUFALI: Of some messengers We have already told thee the story; of others We have not;- and to Moses Allah spoke direct;-
PICKTHAL: And messengers We have mentioned unto thee before and messengers We have not mentioned unto thee; and Allah spake directly unto Moses;
SHAKIR: And (We sent) messengers We have mentioned to you before and messengers we have not mentioned to you; and to Musa, Allah addressed His Word, speaking (to him):

          God the Creator of the Heavens and Earth spoke directly to Master (Great Prophet and Messiah) Moses by the Master (Great Prophet and Messiah) Khidr (Kedar)! The word “Kedar” means “Black”!  Only one with a heart filled with “humility” can teach others. The made “Black” a Universal and a proud word.  Men who were called “Black” were those whose outer covering was filled with “humility”.  It meant they were filled with Love, Mercy, and Compassion! Amen! This is a beautiful teaching. This replaced the horrible teaching of Blacks being slaves.  Oh How I Love this Brother Muhammad!  May God the Creator “always” Bless you and “preserve” your beautiful teaching. You are indeed the Messenger of God the Creator of the Heavens and Earth.

          Master (Great Prophet and Messiah) Khidr was filled with the Spirit (Pure Truth) of God the Creator.  He walked on water or by the Supreme Wisdom and Understanding of God the Creator. 

          There are still some Masters (Great Prophets and Messiahs) you do not know.  There are more to come. They will come again and again.

          We must provide the proof. 

 

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   165
YUSUFALI: Messengers who gave good news as well as warning, that mankind, after (the coming) of the messengers, should have no plea against Allah: For Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.
PICKTHAL: Messengers of good cheer and of warning, in order that mankind might have no argument against Allah after the messengers. Allah was ever Mighty, Wise.
SHAKIR: (We sent) messengers as the givers of good news and as warners, so that people should not have a plea against Allah after the (coming of) messengers; and Allah is Mighty, Wise.

          Messengers (Teachers of Truth) came to give good news and a warning to the people. After this the Law (Covenant) would be established again.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   166
YUSUFALI: But Allah beareth witness that what He hath sent unto thee He hath sent from His (own) knowledge, and the angels bear witness: But enough is Allah for a witness.
PICKTHAL: But Allah (Himself) testifieth concerning that which He hath revealeth unto thee; in His knowledge hath He revealed it; and the angels also testify. And Allah is sufficient Witness.
SHAKIR: But Allah bears witness by what He has revealed to you that He has revealed it with His knowledge, and the angels bear witness (also); and Allah is sufficient as a witness.

          The knowledge and wisdom being shared with you has been inspired and sent by God Himself. The angels (Messengers with wings) will take on this teaching and spread it to others to help save the “Jewish people” from being tricked and “others”! This is a commandment.  THOSE WHO TAKE TO VIOLENCE ARE FOOLS AND ARE NOT PART OF THIS COVENANT.  PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO CHANGE THEIR WAYS AND REPENT BEFORE YOU TURN AWAY FROM THEM! THIS IS THE Twenty (20) day right you have.

Those Who Reject Faith

PICKTHAL: Lo! those who disbelieve and hinder (others) from the way of Allah, they verily have wandered far astray.
SHAKIR: Surely (as for) those who disbelieve and hinder (men) from Allah's way, they indeed have strayed off into a remote

          Those who reject Faith (patience and self-restraint) and who keep men off the path by slavery, taxation, and lack of knowledge have gone very far off the path. If they will not change their ways then you must choose “new leaders”!

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   168
YUSUFALI: Those who reject Faith and do wrong,- Allah will not forgive them nor guide them to any way-
PICKTHAL: Lo! those who disbelieve and deal in wrong, Allah will never forgive them, neither will He guide them unto a road,
SHAKIR: Surely (as for) those who disbelieve and act unjustly Allah will not forgive them nor guide them to a path

          If you reject Faith (patience and self-restraint) you will be led off the path.

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   169
YUSUFALI: Except the way of Hell, to dwell therein for ever. And this to Allah is easy.
PICKTHAL: Except the road of hell, wherein they will abide for ever. And that is ever easy for Allah.

God is One God

Surah (Chapter) 4 Verse   171
YUSUFALI: O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) a messenger of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His messengers. Say not "Trinity" : desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one Allah: Glory be to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs.
PICKTHAL: O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion nor utter aught concerning Allah save the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and His word which He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and say not "Three" - Cease! (it is) better for you! - Allah is only One Allah. Far is it removed from His Transcendent Majesty that He should have a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is sufficient as Defender.
SHAKIR: O followers of the Book! do not exceed the limits in your religion, and do not speak (lies) against Allah, but (speak) the truth; the Messiah, Isa son of Marium is only a messenger of Allah and His Word which He communicated to Marium and a spirit from Him; believe therefore in Allah and His messengers, and say not, Three. Desist, it is better for you; Allah is only one Allah; far be It from His glory that He should have a son, whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is His, and Allah is sufficient for a Protector.

           God the Creator of the Heavens and Earth is the Creator of us all. The Earthly Father was Master (Great Prophet and Messiah) Joseph just as you have an Earthly Father. THERE IS “ONE” DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MASTER (GREAT PROPHET AND MESSIAH) JESUS THE CHRIST!!!

          HIS EARTHLY FATHER WAS MASTER (GREAT PROPHET AND MESSIAH) JOSEPH THE SON OF MASTER (GREAT PROPHET AND MESSIAH) JACOB!!! HE IS THE SON WHO CHANGED THE HEART OF HIS FATHER! HE OPENED THE “EYES” OF HIS FATHER AND SAVED “ALL” HIS PEOPLE!  YOU MUST DO THE SAME IF YOUR FATHER IS NOT A LEARNED MAN! YOU MUST TEACH YOUR FAMILY TO GROW UP AND BE GOOD PEOPLE!

          IF YOU COME BY THIS PATH IN REALITY FROM A VIRGIN (AT HEART) AND A MESSENGER (TEACHER OF TRUTH), YOU WILL RAISE THE SAME! This is the “reality” that we must learn and we must deny the foolishness that keeps us apart.
