What Life is All About & Who is GOD

NaN Mins Dr. Rashad Khalifa
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:01:04.109
The biggest problem in the world today is not war.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:01:08.126
It is not disease, cancer, AIDS, and so on. It is not children starving in Africa or in some other parts of the world. It is not poverty, and it is not crime.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:01:20.896
The biggest problem in the world today is that people do not know who they are.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:01:27.590
And consequently, they got their priorities all mixed up. You ask the average person "who are you?" and they will look in the mirror and they will say "this is me." And they are wrong. When you look in the mirror, you do not see your "self", you see your body. And your body is simply a garment that you are wearing for fifty or a hundred years. Then, you shed it.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:01:59.899
You know, it's a matter of common sense. There is a difference between a living body and a dead body. The living body is full of vitality and spark, and when it dies, the spark is gone and becomes stiff just like a piece of wood. And we know that something is gone. The person is gone. So, we can easily agree that a person consists of a body and a soul. And the soul is the real person. And this
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:02:34.270
is where the people fail to recognize who they are. If they knew that the body is not them, they will rearrange their priorities, and they will pay more attention to themselves, their selves, not their bodies. A person goes to school for many many years, works hard, takes examinations, and even after school he gets a job to make some money, and so on. All this to care for the body, a vanishing entity that will become stiff, dead someday. And when that day comes,
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:03:11.307
almost everyone will look at that lifeless body and say "for this thing, I went to school, I worked hard, I took examinations, I earned a lot of money and I spent it all to care for this thing, this vanishing stiff part of me. What did I do for myself?" There is something that we must do. And this is what life is all about. We have to rearrange our priorities and this cannot
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:03:45.000
result without knowing that I am a body and the soul, and I must put the body in the service of the soul. To drive the point home, just take an average person and ask him or her "what did you feed your self today? What did you feed your soul today?" Let's start with the question "what did you feed your body today?" And they will tell you "I gave my body breakfast,
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:04:15.300
lunch, dinner, numerous snacks." But they gave nothing to the real person, to themselves. What did they feed themselves? We nourish the babies. When we are born, we give the baby milk and so on. And then, the baby grows, becomes a child, and we give them potatoes and meat and rice, and the body grows to five or six feet. But what did we do for the real person? This is
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:04:45.850
the major question that we're addressing right now. This is what life is all about.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:04:51.855
People are giving attention to the vanishing entity and totally ignoring the real person. There is such a thing as food for the soul, nourishment for the real person. And now, the new thing that I have for you is tangible evidence that there is food and nutrition for the real person. And the strange thing that is not known yet, is not commonly known anyway, is that just as the body grows, the real
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:05:25.579
person or the soul grows in leaps and bounds. Maybe, the body grows to five or six feet, but the soul or the real person grows to immense sizes.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:05:38.314
I don't wanna confuse you right now but the size of the soul can be as big as the City of Tucson. I'm not exaggerating. We now have tangible evidence that the soul can grow from a very small size like a cat to a huge size. And this makes it even more important to nourish and feed the real person.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:06:04.649
Now, what is the food for the soul? This tangible evidence that we just obtained tells us... the evidence by the way comes from the Creator, from God Himself, and He tells us that we must make contact with God every day to cause this nutrition and nourishment of the soul, because the soul is literally a piece of God. And God says "if you have anything to do with Me, with God,
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:06:36.266
your soul will grow." If you remember, in the Bible, at the beginning, God said He breathed into Adam the breath of life. So, the soul is part of God's breath. And if we have anything to do with God, we grow. However, there's a specific set of nutrition that we can offer to ourselves.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:07:02.569
Another question that illustrates this biggest problem in the world, namely that the people do not know who they are, is that you ask the average person "how old are you?" And he or she will give you a number somewhere between 15 and 85 years old.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:07:19.935
Wrong, again. Any person, the real person, is a few billion years old. And this is the new information that we obtained from this new tangible evidence. You can easily see the problem if we illustrate a little bit how the human being consists of two entities.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:07:54.629
One entity is the body. Let us represent it by this dot right here.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:08:02.459
And the eternal person, and this is an infinite entity. It will never die. It just goes on forever and ever. So, here we have a body that lasts a period of time somewhere between fifty and a hundred years. We know that we all exist, we are all under death sentence.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:08:28.680
And this period, when you divide any number by infinity, it equals zero. If you live 1,000 years, you divide this by infinity and it equals zero. This is just plain mathematics. So, the body that is going to live for a zero, for all practical purposes, zero period of time, is taking all our attention. We spend 24 hours a day taking care of this
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:08:59.828
insignificant entity, the vanishing entity. And the question is "how much are we doing for this eternal entity, the real me? What am I doing for it?" Now that we agree that we must rearrange our priorities and give more attention to the real person, the soul, instead of wasting all our life taking care of the vanishing entity. Now, what specifically are you supposed to do? You know, there are so many people who are talking in vague terms about capturing the heavenly
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:09:34.370
light and dissolving it into your whole being and all this doesn't mean a thing, you know, all these things. It is much more practical than that. It is much more specific than that. And God has been sending to us the exact methodology of developing our person, our real self, since Adam, since the first human being.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:09:58.817
It came down to us in the Bible, in the Old Testament, in the Psalms of David, in the gospel of Jesus, in the Quran. And now we have specific methods of developing the person, the soul, and exactly what to do and when, and the most efficient ways and the least efficient ways. We now possess this valuable information.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:10:25.057
And we're told that you must make contact with God, your Creator, five times a day.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:10:31.207
This contact, you can think of ropes coming down from the Creator and keeping us out of this sizzling pan called the world.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:10:41.639
At the same time, we develop and we nourish our self, the real self, the soul, by making these contacts five times a day. We are given exactly the combination. Actually, it's a numerical secret combination that anyone can obtain.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:10:59.025
And through this secret mathematical combination, you can make contact with God and nourish and develop your real self. Five times a day, you are given the combination, you are given the method, how to do it, when to do it. And this is the way to provide for yourself. Everyone takes breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and so on, and dresses nicely, and buys a nice home, and has a beautiful spouse
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:11:29.100
or a handsome spouse, as the case may be, and all this to take care of the vanishing entity, the body. The big question is "what are you doing for you, the real person? And you can agree with me now that this is the biggest problem in the world, not knowing who we are.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:11:50.179
You notice I mentioned "making contact with God," and this is... I'm talking about specific methodology. I'm not talking about prayer. Prayer is fine and it will contribute to the growth and nourishment of the person's soul, the real person. You know, millions of children grow up... we grew up knowing that we must say grace before we eat, say a short prayer "God is good. God is great. Please.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:12:16.940
Thank you for our food" and all that. Millions of people pray. I mean, they utter supplications, ask God for favors and all this is fine. God loves that. But I'm talking about a practical, a real meal for the real person. We have this physical evidence telling us exactly what to say, what sounds to utter. It is
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:12:47.870
like the combination of a safe. You have this combination, a knob on a safe where there is a treasure and you have to turn it this way a certain number of times and then this way to another number and so on and then you open the safe and you have the treasure. It is very similar to that. A numerical combination, a combination of sounds that you must utter, a combination of movements that you must do. And this is common to all religions.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:13:20.919
It came to us, like I said, in the older scriptures, and the latest scriptures, and in this new discovery of a tangible mathematically coded method. And if you contact me at the telephone numbers shown at the end of this program, I can discuss this specific method with you. And the contact with God is not the only way to develop the soul. There are many other methods, but the daily contact with God is the most efficient. This is the steak of the soul food.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:13:55.539
But, for example, there is a method of fasting, where you dictate on the body exactly when the body is going to eat or drink. And there is even a specific time of the year for that. So, God told us exactly what to do to nourish our soul.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:14:15.851
And if this becomes known to you or to any other person, you can ask them "what did you do for your self today?" And they will not say "zero or nothing," like most people would say now. The person would answer "I gave my body breakfast, lunch and dinner, and I gave my self five good meals by contacting my Creator five times today." There will be a big difference.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:14:46.403
There will be the proper arrangement of priorities. Right now, the priorities are all reversed. People are spending 99% of their time caring for the vanishing entity and totally unaware, totally neglecting the real self, the real person. And it's a big shame because when the time comes and we shed the body, we will really
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:15:17.110
regret that we didn't give the real person, the soul, the proper attention.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:15:26.070
You know, it is very well and finally established now that money, fame, beauty and so on, do not bring happiness. There is always something missing.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:15:37.500
Did you see the Barbara Hutton story that was shown on TV the other day?
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:15:42.120
I was listening to a special, Barbara Walters special. She was interviewing Eddie Murphy. Here's a movie star who's got everything. He has two Rolls Royces, a Mercedes, a Corvette. He's got a palatial estate in New Jersey, his family, yet he told Barber Walters there is something missing.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:16:02.929
We have to develop the real self in order to be happy. If you have a body that has everything, money, fame, everything it wants, everything the body wants, but the soul is not nourished, happiness will be missing. And this, now you can appreciate that this is the biggest problem in the world.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:16:25.539
And I know what you're thinking. You're probably saying "what is the catch?
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:16:31.437
How much do I have to pay for this?" Ironically, this very precious knowledge is free. It is just yours for the asking. And like I said it is not... there is no mincing of words. There is no vague ideas. This is... I'm talking about specifics.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:16:55.559
Happiness has been the most elusive goal for everybody and now we know that material success, money, fame, and all this does not bring happiness. Now, we have a concrete tangible method where we know... actually, the secret of happiness, this most elusive of our goals, has been unveiled.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:17:23.470
You ask all the philosophers, and people who have a lot of experience in life, and they will tell you, readily, that material success does not bring happiness.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:17:35.700
Money, fame, success, all this does not bring happiness. And I mentioned to you Eddie Murphy as an example in his interview with Barbara Walters. But now we have a concrete method with a track record that tells us that this most elusive of our goals, happiness, is actually attainable. And the secret is in developing and nourishing the real person. The people are unaware. They're going
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:18:06.490
about their life, totally unaware, totally neglecting the real self. And if they only develop and nourish the real person, and put their priorities in perspective, happiness will be readily theirs. I'm not talking about something over there in heaven somewhere, where you have to die first, stay in the grave millions of years, and then get resurrected in order to be in paradise and all that.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:18:37.200
I'm talking about happiness, victory, success, the real thing, here, in this world.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:18:44.819
Just like I mentioned earlier, like the combination. You turn that combination to the right, left, and so on in the correct numbers and you open it and you have the treasure now. You do the specific procedure, just like a cookbook recipe. It's just as simple as that. I'm not exaggerating. God told us exactly how to do it, what to do and what to say and the combination is very specific. You do it and you get the results.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:19:16.779
As you see, it's been all common sense and this is why you ought to believe me.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:19:22.539
Why should you believe me by the way? Let me ask that question. Why should you believe me? You should believe me because when you discuss this matter with me, if we meet in person, I'll show you tangible evidence and you will see that we have a mathematically coded message from God. You will see the physical evidence. If you don't see it, just leave. I mean, you don't have to take it. You look at the evidence, you see it is tangible, concrete, and you see the results. And you visualize the whole thing. I mean, it will be in front of you.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:19:56.388
There is no imagination, or speculation, or conjecture. This is the real thing. And from the beginning of this program to the end, it is all common sense, isn't it?
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:20:11.319
Now, who would be the most authoritative source to give you this kind of information? The Creator, the One who created your soul, the One who breathed into Adam from His breath. Your soul is a piece of God, and the source of all this information is God. And you will see it supported by physical evidence. This is a new stage in human history and you can be one of the pioneers to discover this.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:20:40.473
The discovery, by the way, is very recent. And maybe 50 years from now, everybody will know about it. But right now, only select few, the elite of the elite, knows it, and you can be one of those. God willing, it will be known in a shorter time than 50 years. But you can grasp this opportunity now. You live in this world only one life and then we go on to the... we move on to a new stage, the eternal real life where everyone is assigned a rank and a position depending
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:21:17.740
on how much you nourished your real self. Can you hire a child as a pilot or an engineer? You can't. Therefore, you have to develop the real person and grow and nourish in order to be strong enough for the eternal real life that will come after this world. And then you'll be assigned a prominent rank.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:21:44.960
And like I said, you don't have to wait for that. Happiness, real happiness and the consequences of nourishing your soul begin right here. God's promises have to be a fact. And God says He promises those among you who believe and lead a righteous life that they will be sovereigns on earth, kings and queens on earth. And when God says that He promises, it is done.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:22:13.829
What I told you is a very condensed summary of this major historical event.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:22:20.863
Needless to say, there is a lot of detail that anyone can come and see me, and talk about it and discuss it. They can demand the proof. "Where is the physical evidence, the concrete tangible evidence you're talking about?" They can come and ask me that. And I will show it to them. And then they can make their decision themselves. They have got nothing to lose. And this is all free.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:22:45.486
I never ask him for a penny. So, they can come and see me in Tucson at 739 East 6th Street, or better yet call and make an appointment and I will sit with them and show them the proof. The telephone number should be shown at the end of this program. It is 791-3989. And it could be the most important step they have made in their life. And it results from
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:23:17.759
the realization that we are not just walking zombies. We're not just bodies walking around with nothing in them.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:25:45.750
Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:26:07.782
Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:26:28.883
La Elaha Ella Allah
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:26:45.421
La Elaha Ella Allah
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:27:06.259
Alhamdu Lillah, we praise God. Wa Ash-hadu Alla Elaha Ella Allah Wahdahu La Shareeka Lah.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:27:13.807
And we bear witness that there is no god except the One God.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:27:18.769
It is very important for any person to know who God is to really appreciate why millions of people fall into idol worship. Why do they leave God and idolize Muhammad, or Jesus, or Mary, or Saint Francis, or Saint Jude, or some helpless creature?
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:27:39.970
And the main reason is that the people do not know who God is. They do not appreciate the greatness of God. So, my purpose in this sermon is to share with you some idea about the greatness of God. And to appreciate the greatness of God.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:27:58.869
We, we have to think of this universe that we are living in.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:28:05.690
Our planet Earth is part of the solar system, as you all know. And by the way, I'm gonna talk to you strictly about scientific facts, established scientific facts. This earth is part of the solar system.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:28:22.948
It is the only planet in the solar system that has life. We went to the moon and we didn't see a single tree there, or a mouse, nothing. We sent cameras to Mars and we didn't see a creature there, unless those rocks are creatures, as we saw in one of the cartoons. There is no life in the solar system except here on the planet Earth.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:28:48.640
Our sun, the center of this solar system, is 93 million miles away. Now, I want you to watch these distances, 93 million miles away from us, the Sun. And the light comes to us from the Sun in four minutes. So, remember this relationship. The light travels from the Sun to the Earth, 93 million miles, in four minutes.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:29:18.529
The solar system itself spans a distance of two billion to four billion miles.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:29:27.586
This is our solar system. So, when you go to the edge of our solar system, if you travel 2 billion, with a B, 2 billion miles away, how big is the planet Earth from that point?
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:29:44.710
It will seem small. Okay, let us now go a little further.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:29:50.173
Let us talk about the galaxy, our galaxy. As you know, it is called the Milky Way galaxy. And the solar system is one... the Sun of the solar system is one of one billion suns or stars in our Milky Way galaxy.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:30:12.700
It will take four minutes for the light to travel from the Sun to the planet Earth, 93 million miles. You know, how long it will take to cross the Milky Way galaxy? If you travel at the speed of light, you will cross the Milky Way galaxy, our galaxy, in a hundred thousand years, not four minutes, or ten minutes, or one hour, or ten hours, or ten days, or 10 years.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:30:42.380
It will take you a hundred thousand years to travel across the Milky Way galaxy, our galaxy. Now, so if you go to the border, the edge of the Milky Way galaxy and try to find the planet Earth, where is it?
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:31:01.450
It's minute, isn't it? Just a tiny mote. You know, when you look in the sunlight and see these little things flying? Those are called motes. And the Earth is not even that within the Milky Way galaxy.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:31:17.299
Well let us travel, let us go on a little bit further. Let us go to our next-door galaxy, our neighbor. You know, how far it is, our neighbor galaxy? Two million light years away.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:31:35.009
So, if you're cooking something and you wanna borrow some salt or some sugar from your neighbors, don't go to the next-door galaxy. It will take you 2 million years going at the speed of light, and 2 million years coming at the speed of light and your cooking will be all gone.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:31:56.809
So, 2 million light-years, from our galaxy to the next-door galaxy.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:32:07.410
Now, so if you go to the next-door galaxy and try to find the planet Earth in the Milky Way, what are your chances of seeing the planet Earth using the strongest possible imaginable telescope? Can you find the planet Earth?
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:32:23.549
How about your house? Or you? Or any human being like Jesus or Muhammad?
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:32:30.509
Can you see them from that galaxy, our next door galaxy?
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:32:36.769
Shall we move a little further? There are 1 billion galaxies in our universe. This is 1 billion, with a B.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:32:52.150
A billion trillion stars in our galaxy... in our universe, excuse me. There are 1 billion galaxies in our universe. A billion trillion stars in our universe.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:33:11.069
Our universe now has distances of 10-15 up to 26 billion light-years, distances within our universe. And you can easily imagine this now. If our next-door galaxy... and these are all, I remind you, these are all scientific established scientific facts.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:33:35.429
26 billion light years within our universe.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:33:41.180
You have to agree with me that when you go to the edge of our universe, it is hopeless to try to find the planet Earth. It is such an insignificant speck in God's Kingdom.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:34:02.130
It is an established physical fact that when you go, if you go to the edge of our universe, you cannot possibly see the planet Earth. You cannot possibly see the Sun of our solar system, let alone the planet Earth. So, that's our universe. Before we leave our universe, that's the next step, I would like to remind you that...
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:34:31.889
In fact, I will do a calculation thing with you right now.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:34:36.590
Let us say the number of stars in our universe is not a billion trillion.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:34:42.706
Let us just take a smaller number, quintillion, quintillion. That's a smaller number of stars in our universe. And let us count from one to quintillion, taking one second per count. It's like... let us say we're counting the stars 1 2 3 4 1 second per count. So, we take 1 quintillion, divide by 60, you'll get the number of minutes it will take you to count from 1 to quintillion. Then, you take
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:35:18.050
this number and divide by 60 again, you get the number of hours it will take us to count from 1 to quintillion. Now, we take this last product and divide by 24 and you get the number of days it will take you to count from one to quintillion. These are physical facts as you see.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:35:40.849
Just a simple dividing by the seconds, the minutes, the hours, and the days.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:35:46.539
Divide by seven, you get the number of weeks. Then, you divide by four, you get the number of months. You divide by 12, you get the number of years it will take you to count, just count a quintillion stars. You know, how long it will take you? How many years? This is a mathematical physical fact. It will take you 32 billion, with a B, 32 billion years just to count a quintillion stars in our
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:36:17.949
universe.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:36:20.130
And God created them. God didn't just count them. God created them. And we are talking only about stars in our universe. We're not talking about the planets that go with those stars. We're not talking about the uncountable decillions of heavenly bodies and meteorites that are in our universe. We're talking only about stars.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:36:47.699
The Sun is one of the stars, our Sun. By the way, it is one of the dim stars.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:36:56.179
The bright stars... the definition of a bright star is "it must be at least 1 million times as bright as our Sun." Look outside and see how bright the Sun is.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:37:12.150
A bright star has to be a million times as bright as this, as our Sun.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:37:19.389
We had a conference here at the University of Arizona that dealt with bright stars only, and the Sun was not one of them because by definition a bright star is a million times as bright as our Sun.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:37:33.530
So, it will take you 32 billion years just to count, not to create, just to count a quintillion of the billion trillion stars we have in our universe.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:37:44.481
That's our universe. Now, prepare for a shock.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:37:50.349
This universe, our universe, vast as we can imagine, is only one of seven universes. And it is the smallest and innermost of the seven universes. This is a fact that is in the Quran, proven by the Quran's mathematical code.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:38:15.269
We are all now familiar with the mathematical code of the Quran that proves that every word is from God, that it is not written by a human being, that it is God's word... God's message to the world. And this mathematically proven statement say that our universe, with its billion trillion stars, a billion galaxies, 26 billion light-year distances, is the smallest and innermost of seven universes.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:38:49.820
Can you imagine how big the second universe is if our universe is 26 billion light years across? The second universe, can you imagine how big it is?
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:38:58.927
How about the third universe? The fourth that is around these? You can imagine seven balls inside each other. The fifth universe? I don't think you can imagine the size of the fifth universe. How about the sixth universe? And the seventh? I can tell you right now there is no number in the world that can describe or measure the circumference of the seventh universe, actually the first universe. We are the seventh universe, the innermost
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:39:29.358
of the seven universes. There is no number that will describe the circumference of the first universe. Now, prepare for another shock. Most of you are familiar with that statement in the Quran in sura 39, where God says He is holding the seven universes within the fist of His hand. In Arabic in the Quran وَٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتُ مَطْوِيَّـٰتٌۢ بِيَمِينِهِ (39:67)
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:40:00.579
God is not holding the seven universes like this in two hands. God is holding the seven universes in one hand and this is allegorical description to give us an idea about the greatness of God and who God is.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:40:18.780
It's an allegorical idea to make us appreciate the greatness of God and to make us appreciate and realize the blasphemy of saying that such great God has a human son on the tiny tiny speck called the planet Earth.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:40:43.309
I mean, how can that be? We are a fortunate generation in that with the established scientific facts, we can appreciate the greatness of God.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:40:56.369
And God tells us who He is and His message to the world, the Quran.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:41:02.900
And with the sciences we now accomplished we appreciate that greatness.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:41:07.480
And therefore, we can appreciate the grossness, the blasphemy of saying that God had a wife or a mother or a son. We can appreciate, we can realize how blasphemous, how terrible it is to say that God has a partner, another god with Him. How can we idolize Muhammad, the tiny human being who existed on a tiny planet called Earth in a tiny solar system?
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:41:39.559
What was Muhammad's role in deciding the speed of rotation of the moon, for example?
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:41:46.420
The moon rotates around itself and around the Earth, yet we always see one side of the moon, the same side of the Moon.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:41:56.949
Because of the perfect synchronized movement of the moon around itself and around the Earth, we see only one side. And if that movement was off by one second, we will see that other side of the moon.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:42:11.699
This precision in God's creation, what was the role of Muhammad or Jesus or Mary or Saint Francis in deciding that speed of rotation of the moon? This elaborate system, everything going in its orbit precisely.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:42:30.773
We know exactly what time the Sun will rise in the year 2025, July 4th 2025.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:42:40.130
We know exactly... in Tucson Arizona for example, we know exactly when, what time will the Sun rise and from what spot, because the Sun follows God's laws, God's creation, and follows the exact orbit. God is holding the seven universes in His hand.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:43:01.320
That's who God is.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:44:56.380
Man has always believed in some kind of a god.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:45:12.619
This need to believe in a supernatural and omnipotent being led many to search for a god, start wars in the name of a god, even create a god if they had to.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:45:26.715
Hello, my name is Bill Buck. In this report, we are going to present to you what we call the ultimate miracle. You see, when man chose to believe in gods most of these gods had one thing in common. It was required that they be feared worshiped served and revered. Numerous religions sprang up to serve these gods. Some of the oldest religions still exist today, namely Buddhism, Hinduism, and Shintoism. Some of these religions believe in many gods, for example a god of fire, a god of water, a god of love, a god of
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:45:58.460
prosperity and so on.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:46:02.469
Then, came the monotheistic religions, those that believe in one god. All of which are considered major influences in global history and affairs.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:46:12.126
These are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. And significantly, they share a common belief in... global history and affairs. These are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:46:23.532
And significantly they share a common belief in one supreme god. Perhaps, the best way to portray these is to look at Jerusalem where all three religions mingle. We have a historical account of biblical and other prophets and the miracles that they are credited with having performed. There was Moses we are told talked to God and led the Jews out of bondage and brought them the Ten Commandments. He even parted the Red Sea when pursued by Pharaoh and his troops, according to the Bible. There was Jesus Christ who is the son of the Living God
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:46:56.059
to Christians. Through him Christians entered into a new covenant with their creator. Lastly, there was Muhammad. Muslim history tells us that in Mecca, God revealed to him the Quran, the Muslim holy book which is recited fervently and followed by one-fifth of the world's population.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:47:16.291
For many centuries and in spite of man's experience with religion, there still remain many mysteries. The most baffling and complex mystery of all remains the identity and the concept of this god that man has never seen and yet believes in so religiously. This sea of religious confusion has been swelling all the time. Many religions all claiming to be right began to break into sects.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:47:40.880
During all this time, man was advancing economically, socially, militarily, and intellectually. Man continued to advance technologically at an unprecedented pace.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:47:53.512
But in terms of religion, he was still in this sea of confusion, often misled by tricksters and deeply disappointed with his unanswered prayers to this unseen god. Disappointment and confusion led many to lose their belief. Agnosticism and atheism have become widespread. Many now openly reject or at least question the existence of this god who has been so popular throughout the ages. The theory of Darwin became the accepted opinion of many scientists and scholars
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:48:27.230
who were able to draw supportable conclusions from the proof and arguments presented. But now, most scientific and religious thinkers realized that there are deeper questions. So, where does that leave us? Are there any real solutions to this religious dilemma? On the one hand, the man cannot accept the illogical practices that religion dictates to him. Yet, by denying God, man still doesn't find the answers to some of his most burning questions, such as "Who am I? Why
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:48:58.260
am I here? Is there a god? What is the purpose of life?" Just when man's tolerance to manual labor reached a limit and the Industrial Revolution lay around the corner.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:49:09.400
Now, an intellectually enlightening revolution seems to be around the corner.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:49:14.139
Previous generations were converted to believe in God by means of miracles.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:49:18.876
However, modern man cannot believe in God because of these. He has watched men walk on the moon. He's presented daily with the latest technological marvel. He has come across too many false claims, fake miracles, and fake promises. He has become very cynical, especially when it comes to ancient myths and beliefs. With some arrogance, he believes that he knows more than his forefathers, let alone those ancient reporters of fantastic events. He wonders what they would have thought of
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:49:50.960
some of today's miracles. Today's man needs something substantial.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:49:55.849
He needs an ultimate miracle. All the miracles that were supposed to have converted man over the ages were limited to a particular geographical location or a time period. By definition, an ultimate miracle would be something that is perpetual, not limited to a certain century or a geographical location.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:50:12.980
It would be for all of the people to see, all of the time. It would be something that is physical, touchable, examinable, verifiable and irrefutable. A few years ago, noted scientists and television personality, Carl Sagan, in his best-selling novel, talked about a mathematically coded message from outer space. On page 431, the author states "my fondest hope for this book is that it will be made obsolete by the pace of real scientific discovery." Well, it seems
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:50:43.789
that Carl Sagan's fondest hope has come true. Research over the past few years has uncovered just such a mathematical code in a document that is over 1,400 years old. There are other miraculous aspects to this document.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:50:57.679
For instance, only in the past 20 years has science been able to witness the development of the fetus in the very early stages. However, 1,400 years ago, the development of the fetus in the first 28 days had already been documented and with such graphic accuracy that it left Dr. Moore, chairman of the anatomy department of the University of Toronto, utterly amazed. For at this stage, the embryo is only about one tenth of a millimeter long and would appear like a
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:51:29.030
dot to the human eye. To discern its shape would require a powerful microscope. However, microscopes were not developed until the 17th century. And yet 1,400 years ago, we find the following.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:51:43.809
"thereafter we created of the drop a thing which clings, a leech like structure." Dr. Moore confirmed that the embryo does in fact cling to the wall of the uterus. Another passage describes the stages of fetus development. "God makes you in the wombs of your mothers in stages one after another within three veils of darkness." Dr. Moore confirmed the accuracy of this
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:52:16.250
description, also. He explained that the three veils could reasonably be interpreted to mean the mother's abdominal wall, the wall of the uterus and the amniochorionic membrane. It goes on. We've all heard about the big bang theory but who would expect to find an account about the Big Bang Theory 1,400 years ago but there it is. "Do the disbelievers not realize that the heavens and the earth used to be one entity then we parted them." The
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:52:48.639
separation process resulted in the formation of multiple worlds. Mention of these worlds has made several times in the document. Also, it would seem that the modern discovery of bridges of matter which are present outside organized astronomical systems is referenced in the verse which reads.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:53:06.710
"God is the One who created the heavens, the earth and what is between them." "Today, we will only preserve your body to set you up as a sign for subsequent generations.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:53:18.630
Indeed, most people are heedless of our signs." Miraculously, it seems that the Egyptians were exclusively gifted with the science of mummification. In 1898, Murray discovered the mummified body of Ramses II of Thebes in the Valley of Kings where it had lain untouched for three thousand years.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:53:39.670
He had it transported to Cairo where it may be seen to this day. The medical study of the mummy of Merneptah, Pharaoh of the exodus, has yielded further useful information on the possible cause of this pharaoh's death.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:53:53.826
The lack of signs of deterioration of the body proves that the body did not stay in water for a prolonged period of time. And in the heavens, for many centuries, it was believed that the moon had its own light. Science discovered, not too long ago, that the moon really did not generate its own light, but acted only as a reflector of the Sun's rays. "God is the one who made the Sun luminescent and the moon alight, and he designed its phases to provide you with
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:54:25.420
a timing device. God did not create all this in vain." God is the one who created the night, the day, the Sun, and the moon. Each one is traveling in an orbit with its own motion." Today, it is known how the celestial organization is balanced by the position of stars in a defined orbit.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:54:49.050
And how the interplay of gravitational forces is related to their mass and speed of movement, each with its own motion. Sir Francis Drake proved the Earth to be round when he sailed around it in 1597. "Are you more difficult to create than the heaven that He built? He raised its masses and perfected it. He made its night dark and it's morning visible. Thereafter, He made the Earth egg-shaped." That was written almost a thousand years before Columbus. We know
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:55:25.409
now that the Earth's atmosphere acts as a filter to prevent harmful radiations from reaching the surface. Short wavelengths like x-rays and ultraviolet rays are filtered out at high altitudes. Protection from these rays is vital to the existence of life on Earth. "And we made the sky a protected ceiling." Then, there is the affirmation of the modern idea that the origin of life is aquatic. "And we made water a requisite for every living thing." Water is the simplest
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:56:01.679
chemical compound of importance to all living things. Most organisms consist of 50 to 95 percent water. Scientists know that absolutely every living entity known to man requires water for its existence. Many properties of water make it essential to life's processes. Its ability to dissolve a great variety of substances is vital because most chemical reactions within organisms can occur only in a water solution. Take the field honeybee, busy bringing in nectar
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:56:34.920
from flowers. On entering the hive with a full honey sac, which is an enlargement of the esophagus, the field bee regurgitates the contents into the mouths of young workers called house or nurse bees. These, in turn, deposit nectar in a cell and carry out the tasks necessary to convert the nectar to honey. This, we have known for about 80 years. "And your Lord inspired the bee, build homes in the mountains
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:57:04.949
and the trees and what the people build for you. Then, eat from all kinds of crops and obediently follow the designs of your Lord." "Out of their bellies comes a liquid of various colors wherein there is healing for the people. This should be a sign for those who reflect." Remember, this statement was made 1,400 years ago. How in the world could somebody have known 1400 years ago that honey came from the belly of the bee?
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:57:36.768
This document also claims that there is a healing property in honey. Honey does in fact have mild antiseptic properties. The Russians used honey to cover their wounds in World War II. The wounds retained an amount of moisture and left very little scar tissue. Because of its density, no fungus or bacteria could grow in the wound. It is also known that if a person suffering from allergies from a certain plant is given honey produced from that plant, that person builds up certain resistance to the algae. 1,000 years before the discovery of the
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:58:12.239
circulation of blood and roughly 13 centuries before it was known what happens in the intestine to ensure that the organs are nourished by the process of digestive absorption, we find a verse in the document. "From between the urine and the blood comes pure, delicious milk." Only recently was it found that from what the cow eats, there is a separation of nutrients into the blood and the urine and the remainder ends up as milk. Progress in botany 1400 years ago was nowhere advanced enough for it
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:58:48.750
to establish as a rule that plants have both male and female parts, nevertheless we read in the document. "God is the One who sent water down from the sky and thereby brought forth pairs of plants, each separate from the other." Today, we know that fruit comes from plants that have sexual characteristics, even when it comes from unfertilized fruits like bananas.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:59:18.219
"Of all fruits God placed on the Earth two of a pair." This document stated to early man the remarkable premise that mountains move like the clouds. We know this to be true now since the Earth rotates around its axis and around the Sun. But to an ancient, what could be more contradictory to the obvious than that mountains move.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa00:59:42.769
And yet "When you look at the mountains, you may think that they are standing still. But they are moving in the same manner as the clouds. Such is the creation of God." We know now of continental drift, a folding which forms mountain ranges. The Earth's crust is like a solid shell on which we can live while the deeper layers are hot and fluid. "Have we not made the earth an expanse and the
Dr. Rashad Khalifa01:00:14.570
mountains stakes?" The stake like stability of the mountains is linked to the folding phenomenon in that the folds provide the foundations for the reliefs that form the mountains. From this aspect, they are indeed like tent stakes driven deep into the ground. "He makes his chest straightened like one who climbs towards the sky." Fingerprinting became a scientific method of identification in the 1880s with the research of Sir Francis Galton.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa01:00:47.798
Galton calculated mathematically that no two persons could have exactly the same fingerprint patterns. "We can even reconstruct the tip of his finger." All of these scientific phenomena have been taken from the same book. Other examples contain infinitely more precious data which directly relate to facts discovered by modern science.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa01:01:13.942
But it took modern computers to discover them. It is only now that the numerous verses of this text have finally become comprehensible. Dr. Maurice Bucaille, an eminent french scientist, says that it is impossible to explain how a text produced 1400 years ago could have contained ideas that have only been discovered in modern times. Many other scientific phenomena; the barrier between salt and freshwater, the branch-like progression of combustion, all were
Dr. Rashad Khalifa01:01:44.119
mentioned 1,400 years ago. In a notable recent experiment conducted by Nova, it was found that at the exact moment of death, there is a slight weight loss in humans, but not animals. This document states that at the moment of death, God takes the soul away. And now we come to the most incredible significance of these discoveries. Remember, we said that modern man needs an ultimate miracle to release himself from the bondage of religious frustration and confusion
Dr. Rashad Khalifa01:02:16.123
about his creator. Well, it so happens that this ultimate miracle does exist in this document, the identity of which we are about to reveal. This ultimate miracle exists in the form of a scientifically proven mathematical code that is touchable, examinable, verifiable, and utterly irrefutable.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa01:02:39.690
Not only does it prove that the author of this divine document is God Almighty, but it also serves as the first physical evidence for the very existence of God.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa01:02:49.681
And it serves as a means for preservation for the document itself, so that the reader knows that every word, indeed every letter is from God Almighty.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa01:02:59.012
This document is the Quran. And the ultimate miracle is the perfect and unchallengeable mathematical code. This mathematical code, this signature of the Creator, has always been here in the Quran for all to see. But only recently was it revealed and then only with the help of a modern computer by Dr. Rashad Khalifa, the Imam or minister of the mosque of Tucson. Briefly, let me explain.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa01:03:30.000
The Quran consists of 114 chapters. 29 of these chapters are prefixed with letters that remained mysterious for 1,400 years. Nobody knew what they meant until now.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa01:03:43.672
Before we go into details of this, let us look at a simple example that will allow us to realize the magnitude of this miracle. Take a simple sentence like "Jack and Jill went up the hill." There are 7 words and 24 letters in this sentence and this is called the simple mathematical structure of this sentence. Now, let us try and change this mathematical structure but still try and convey a specific meaning in good English. Let us say we want to convey the same meaning with a sentence containing 7 words and 26 letters.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa01:04:17.036
We must pad 2 letters in "Jack and Jill went up the hill." In trying to do this, we soon see that the word "Jack" and the word "Jill" cannot be changed. The word "over" cannot be substituted for "up" because it conveys a separate meaning. Similarly, the word "the" cannot be replaced by "a" because "a hill" refers to any hill. In other words, it becomes pretty difficult to change the mathematical structure of a simple sentence and still have an accurate and acceptable statement in English. Now,
Dr. Rashad Khalifa01:04:51.150
how about if we try and group sentences that conveys specific meanings into a mathematical pattern, not only controlling the count of total letters, but also the count of specific letters within words? Suppose, we want to take "Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water" and change the total number of "A's" plus the total number of "I's" to 9 instead of 8. There are 7 words containing the letters "A" and "I" that make perfect English and cannot be changed. So, we can only try and change the rest of the words, but this will
Dr. Rashad Khalifa01:05:25.320
again convey a different meaning to the sentence. It quickly becomes apparent that changing this structure to fit a pattern is almost impossible for just one sentence. Prepare for the shock. The document, the Quran, contains an exquisitely sophisticated control of letters across chapters, within chapters, in combination of letters between words, in total number of sentences, in total number of words, all interlocking with one another rendering it impossible to duplicate even with the most powerful computers.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa01:05:59.090
Yet, it remains very simple to understand. For example, 29 chapters, roughly 160,000 letters, are prefixed by mysterious letters. Chapter 50 starts with just Q.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa01:06:13.269
Chapter 2 has A. L. M. Chapter 19 has 5 letters as a prefix K. H. Y. 'A. S. Please, note that we have chosen English equivalents of the Arabic letters for simplicity of illustration. It was found that the letter Q occurs in chapter 50 exactly 57 times or 19 times 3. The "A's" "L's" & "M's" in chapter 2 occur a total of 9899 times and so on, without a single exception
Dr. Rashad Khalifa01:06:43.710
in all the initialed chapters, with the occurrences in multiples of the number 19. At the same time that the "A's" "L's" & "M's" are controlled in 7 chapters that have A.L.M. as a prefix, the "A's" and the "L's" are part of the Arabic word for God, the occurrence of which is also being controlled as you will soon see. At once we realize that there is a deliberate superhuman design that binds the book's chapters, verses, words, even letters,
Dr. Rashad Khalifa01:07:13.900
for if one letter was changed, deleted, or added, the whole system collapses. And the fact that this system was discovered 1,400 years after its creation proves that it has been perfectly preserved. The foundation of this mathematical code is the opening statement. "In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful" and this contains exactly 38 alphabets or 19 times 2. In the language of the Quran, Arabic, it contains exactly 19 alphabets
Dr. Rashad Khalifa01:07:46.079
and 4 words. These 4 words, namely "name", "God", "Most Gracious" and "Most Merciful" appear in the whole book 19, 2698, 57, and 114 times, respectively. All these are multiples of 19. The total number of verses are 6346.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa01:08:12.411
The total chapters are 114, again, multiples of 19. We are beginning to see that this unique code must have been pretty difficult to construct. "On it are nineteen - indeed by the moon, by the night as it passes, by the morning as it shines, this is one of the greatest miracles." Greatest miracle indeed, and now we realize that 19 is the Creator's
Dr. Rashad Khalifa01:08:44.559
signature on everything He created. For example, you and I have 209 bones in our bodies, 19 times 11. A full-term fetus remains in the mother's womb 266 days, 19 times 14. The Sun, the Moon, the Earth line up in the same position every 19 years, and on and on and on. The viewer may wonder "why 19?" Well, using our ancestral system of numerology, the Arabic and Hebrew word for "one" has a value of 19.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa01:09:19.542
And this is what the message of Quran is "One, One God, and one Brotherhood of Nations under God." The Quran was written under God's direction. One thing is clear.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa01:09:34.332
No human being could have written such a complicated and perfectly mathematically coded text, not then, not now, even with the aid of computers. One of the most important functions of the Quran's mathematical code is that it proves and authenticates by physical evidence all the miracles of the previous prophets and messengers. Moses parted the Red Sea. Jesus revived the dead and healed the hopelessly blind and the leprous and so on. Now, these miracles are mathematically
Dr. Rashad Khalifa01:10:06.679
composed within the Quran and proven by this code to be true. God was the witness.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa01:10:12.764
His words are Divine and what He has proven by means of the ultimate miracle is that the Quran is indeed His word, the Word of God. Therefore, let us look to it to answer some of our most crucial questions such as "why are there famines, disasters, and diseases?" And "what is the overall purpose and meaning of life?" And "what of peace, that elusive dream of the righteous universal man?" Given now that
Dr. Rashad Khalifa01:10:43.579
the message of the Quran is One, One God, one Brotherhood, think of it.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa01:10:51.048
All the power and love in the universe in One Supreme Being who has assured us that He not only exists but communicates without question to those who believe and seek out the truth, His laws and commitment. Imagine what can be achieved by following His laws and directions.
