Dajjaal … Antichrist

Part 5

So Shaitan’s followers- obeying Shaitan’s temptations- in order to oppose the Divine Benevolent Tradition of the incumbency of obedience and Wilayat of Prophets and their Successors and specifically Hadrat Mohammad and the AhlulBayt (SBUT), have been accusing, misrepresenting, opposing, torturing, isolating, usurping  their position, … and killing them …

Shaitan has never been satisfied and will never be until his last breath which will be at time of the Appearance of Hadrat Mahdi (SBUH) … so there have also been Shaitan’s friends and followers who have introduced themselves as prophets and messengers to further deviate humankind from the Truth and from the hope of the Appearance of the Truth …

For instance, examples of this phenomenon in christianity have been the likes of Joseph Smith, Ellen White and … who have claimed to be prophets and messengers after Jesus (SBUH) and have further caused humankind to deviate from achievement of everlasting Salvation …

Even at time of Hadrat Mohammad (SAWA) a person called Mosaylamah claimed to be a partner of Hadrat Mohammad (SAWA) in the matter of his Messengership … the Prophet himself (SAWA) called him a liar مسیلمه کذاب … his wife Sajaah daughter of Haareth also claimed to be a prophetess …

This satanic plot has continued throughout the ages … even in the so called 20^th century there has been another liar کذاب claiming to be another messenger of Islam; i.e. another false and self-appointed partner of Hadrat Mohammad (SAWA) …

This person, Rashad Khalifa, was an Egyptian sunni biochemist educated in the US, who had carefully studied the bible and the life stories of his satanic prototypes such as Joseph Smith- a self-appointed prophet of christianity, the founder of the sect of Mormons  and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter‑day Saints, and Ellen White a self-appointed messenger of christianity, the founder of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and …, and following their satanic path Rashad Khalifa  claimed to be a messenger of Islam after Mohammad (SAWA) and founded a sect in the US called Submission …

This person- while suggesting his own version of history and writing his self-interpretation of Qur’an as the form of 38 appendices    to his English translation of Qur’an which he himself called it AUTHORIZED ENGLISH VERSION OF QURAN- claimed that Qur’an alone had to be used!!! He pretendedly declared Hadiths, be it from the Shia or the sunni, and any historical report which did not match his interpretation, as not valid; yet he actually implicitly picked and chose what he desired and created what he wished, and ultimately presented his own version of history and interpretation which he called it appendices to Qur’an!!! As a sample, one of his HADITHS, aping the Me’raaj (Ascension) of the Prophet Mohammad (SAWA) was his claim that he was taken somewhere in the universe:

“During my Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, and before sunrise on Tuesday, Zul-Hijjah 3, 1391, December 21, 1971, I, Rashad Khalifa, the soul, the real person, not the body, was taken to some place in the universe where I was introduced to all the prophets as God's Messenger of the Covenant …”

As a part of Shaitan’s malevolent tradition and plot, in order to nullify all the Pure teachings of Hadrat Mohammad and the AhlulBayt (SBUT) which are the heart of Qur’an, and thus to firm his own misleading satanic interpretation of Qur’an, Rashad Khalifa claimed that Hadrat Mohammad (SAWA) had absolutely no right to teach any thing at all and he only had to repeat the exact verses of Qur’an; may Allah SWT forgive us for saying this, i.e. like a parrot:

“Role of the Prophet Muhammad - The Prophet's sole mission was to deliver Quran, the whole Quran, and nothing but Quran … the Prophet did not have any time to do anything else. Moreover, the Prophet was enjoined in the strongest words from issuing any religious teachings …”

This means that Rashad Khalifa  has shamelessly justified many undeniable Qur’anic Verses in which the role of Hadrat Mohammad (SAWA) is not stated as just as a person who delivered and recited the Qur’an rather also as the TEACHER of al-Ketaab and al-Hekmat, i.e. the TEACHER of the Word of Allah and its Allah-Taught (to Mohammad and his Allah-Chosen Successors SBUT) hidden secrets and interpretations …; The Book containing: Qur’an 31:27 And were every tree that is in the earth (made into) pens and the sea (to supply it with ink), with seven more seas to increase it, the Words of Allah would not come to an end; surely Allah is Mighty, Wise; Qur’an 6:38 … We have not neglected anything in the Book. (Please also refer to the article “Ghadir, heart of Qur’an” in this site: kindfather.com):

Qur’an 62:2 He [Allah] it is Who raised among the inhabitants of Mecca a Messenger from among themselves, who RECITES to them His Aayaat (Verses, Signs) and PURIFIES them, and TEACHES them Al-Ketaab (The Book) and Al-Hekmat (The Wisdom …), although they were before certainly in clear error.

Qur’an 2:129 Our Lord! and raise up in them [offspring of Ibrahim and Ismael (SBUT)] a Messenger from among them who shall RECITE to them Thy Aayaat and TEACH them The Book and The wisdom, and PURIFY them; surely Thou art The Undefeatable Mighty, The Wise.

Qur’an 3:164 Certainly Allah conferred a great favor and grace upon the believers when He raised among them a Messenger from among themselves, RECITING  to them His Aayaat and PURIFYING them, and TEACHING them The Book and The Hekmat, although before that they were surely in manifest error.

It is also very important to pay careful attention that the verse 19 of Surah Qiyaamat (75) clearly emphasizes that the Bayaan -the Clarification and Interpretation … of Qur’an- is only from Allah; and thus humankind can not guess and actually create interpretations on his own: 

Then certainly upon Us (is) the Bayaan (Clarification and Interpretation) of It (Qur’an). 

Complementing this verse, in verse 44 of Surah Nahl (16) it is clearly Said that the Tabyeen -stating the Bayaan, the Divine Clarification and Interpretation- of Qur’an to humankind is the responsibility of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH & HP); who (PBUH & HP) in the first place, by Command of Allah, taught the entire Qur’an and Bayaan to Hadrat Ali (PBUH), his Allah Appointed Successor: 

And We have revealed to you (Mohammad) The Dhekr (The Reminder) that you Tobayyen (Tabyeen, state the Bayaan) to humankind … 

Additionally the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) in the famous Hadith of Thaqalayn- narrated both by the Shi’ah and the sunni as mutawatir (meaning that it has been related many times by many people)- emphasized on the fact that he (SAWA) was leaving behind two weighty matters, the Qur’an and his AhlulBayt, and he clarified that indeed the two would never separate from each other until they would come back to him by the Pool (of al-Kawthar on the Day of Judgment) and that only by strictly adhering to both these weighty matters, human would never go astray. 

And so on … AAAAAHHHHH!

This impostor in order to usurp the position of Hadrat Mohammad (SAWA) as the Teacher of Qur’an, claimed that he was a messenger; in the process he confiscated many verses of Qur’an which were specifically revealed to Hadrat Mohammad (SAWA). As a sample:

“I was told most assertively, through the angel Gabriel, that Verse 3 of Sura 36 refers specifically to me.”

Then in order to firm his supposed messengership he presented a so called miracle; the miracle of number 19 …

What he actually did was playing a game of mathematical manipulation. In this type of manipulation one can arrange different self-made formulas   with different factors and … in order to produce any desired result … Rashad’s chosen number was 19, he claimed that he had discovered a mathematical code in the text of the Qur'an involving the number 19 …

One of his devilish tricks was that in his countings he arbitrary counted or disregarded verses in order to produce a multiple of 19; a sample is a childish numerology that Rashad came up with to try to claim that number 19 confirmed him as a messenger:

“The word "Rashad" occurs in 40:29 & 40:38. The word "Khalifa" occurs in 2:30 and 38:26. The first "Khalifa" refers to a non-human "Khalifa," namely, Satan, while the second occurrence (Sura 38), refers to a human "Khalifa." If we add the numbers of suras and verses of "Rashad" (40:29, 40:38) and "Khalifa" (38:26) we get 40+29+38+38+26 = 171 = 19x9.”

Here in order for him to achieve a multiple of 19 he disregarded verse 2:30 because if the numbers 2 and 30 were included in his self-defined arbitrary formula of adding Surah and verse numbers the result would not have been a multiple of 19. He disregarded verse 2:30 with the pretext that “The first "Khalifa" [in 2:30] refers to a non-human "Khalifa," namely, Satan”, while the verse 2:30 is clearly referring to Hadrat Adam (SBUH)!!!

Let us pay attention that Rashad Khalifa being a hand of Shaitan, here, by saying that 2:30 was in regard to satan, wanted to implicitly comply with a distorted biblical interpretation that satan is the lord of earth … Khalifa actually complied with many other biblical interpretations such as the so called crucifixion of Jesus, and …; please also refer to “Zebh ‘Azim (Grand Slaughter)” in this site: kindfather.com

Interestingly while Rashad disregarded the verse 2:30 in the above counting, then immediately in another counting in the same appendix as another proof of his messengership he included 2:30, the same verse which in his opinion is in regard to satan:

“The sum of all sura and verse numbers where all "Rashada" and all "Khalifa" occur, without discrimination [i.e. including 2:30], add up to 1463, 19x77 (Table 1).”

In his table 1, Sura and Verse numbers of "Rashada" and "Khalifa" i.e. the roots of Rashad and Khalifa are indicated; there he included verse 2:30 because without it the result would not have been a multiple of 19!!!

As another example, he made up another self-defined formula so that multiple of 19 may be achieved; let us pay attention that if any of factors are changed in any of these formulas the multiple of 19 is not achieved:

“If we write down the sura number, followed by the number of verses per sura, followed by the individual verse numbers … and place these numbers next to each other, we get a very long number that consists of 11087 digits, and is a multiple of 19 … the number representing Sura 2 looks like this: 2 100 187 188 189 ..... 285 286 … The complete number looks like this: 2 100 187 188 189 ..... 72 21 1 2 3 ..... 19 20 21 …”

Another example of Khalifa’s manipulation is the fact that he included “In the Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful” in the beginning of 113 Surahs of Qur’an in the total number of verses of the Quran in his countings, but Khalifa did not include all the individual words “Name”, “God”, “Most Gracious”, “Most Merciful” found in the beginning of 112 Surahs, which sunni Hadiths prescribe them as unnumbered, in the total frequency of the four words; he did not include them because it would have destroyed his multiples of 19.

Without a consistent method of counting which provides significant results, as it is the case with Rashad’s satanic game, there is no miracle.

It is relatively easy to manipulate data and come up with seemingly astonishing results once several meaningless methods of counting, and not a consistent method throughout, are used and you discard arbitrarily any given method every time it does not provide the result you anticipate. Several methods mean increasing artificially the odds of getting what you expect. Any serious researcher would reject data and results based on an inconsistent method of counting.

In this satanic mathematical manipulation he even went as far as altering the Qur’an by removing two verses (9:128-129) to force numbers to add up when his interpretation of the Qur’anic sign of number 19 proved to be wrong …

Originally, Rashad Khalifa thought that the count for the word “God” was 2698 (19x142), misled by Abdul Baqi’s count of the word in his book entitled “Index of the words of the Quran”. It turned out that it was in reality 2699, not a multiple of 19. This was the departing point of a downward spiral that eventually led him to discard verses 9:128-129, where one word God occurs, to reestablish a count that was multiple of 19.

To conclude, this matter of number 19 is no miracle rather it is the result of an advanced forgery that does not reflect the reality of the Qur’an …

There are many more examples … surely these suffice for any thinking person …

Rashad Khalifa using This calculated satanic forgery and manipulation has served Shaitan’s malevolent tradition and plot fully, for, on the one hand the heart and spirit of the Religion, i.e. the Wilayat of Hadrat Mohammad (SAWA), let alone the Wilayat of the AhlulBayt (SBUT), has totally been ignored, and thus the anticipation of the Appearance of Hadrat Mahdi of the Progeny of Mohammad (SBUT) has been forgotten, and on the other hand the practical aspects of the Religion such as Salah, Zakah, Hajj and … have also been completely changed … so this satanic sect being deceitfully called Submission, which is an English translation of the word islam, in order to make people think that it is Islam, has absolutely nothing to do with Islam …

The final stage of Shaitan’s malevolent tradition is to oppose the final Promise of Divine Benevolent Tradition, and that is the Appearance of Hadrat Mahdi (SBUH) and the establishment of the unique Rulership all over this earth … so as time goes on the Shaitan’s plot of distorting the role of Hadrat Mahdi (SBUH) becomes more and more apparent …

One of such schemes has been to declare that the time for Islam is over, and newer religions have arrived and in this manner the anticipation for Hadrat Mahdi (SBUH) loses its meaning … in one of these so called religions first a person titled Baab claimed that he was the anticipated mahdi, eventually the same person claimed to be a new prophet … consequently another so called prophet declared the end of Islam and introduced what is known as Bahaism … later this so called prophet announced that he was allah himself!!! It is noteworthy to mention that the number 19 is also special for these people; for instance they claim that each month has 19 days, and … they all indeed have one lord and that is Shaitan …

So the final number one enemy of Shaitan has always been Hadrat Mahdi (SBUH) at whose hand Shaitan’s tradition shall reach its ignominious end …

All the different parts of Shaitan’s malevolent tradition have been actually a big plot paving the way for appearance of Dajjaal … attempting to confront the Appearance of Hadrat Mahdi (SBUH) …

But let us never forget that Allah SWT is Omnipotent and graciously and wisely has given time and power to choose and do to His servants … and He shall judge every one based on his/her choices … with all the malevolent schemes, Allah SWT has decreed a final scheme, be it Hadrat Mahdi (SBUH) who with his Appearance shall eliminate all Shaitanic plots:

Qur’an 86:15 Surely they plot a scheme.

Qur’an 86:16 And I (Allah) plot a scheme.

Qur’an 86:17 So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while.

In regard to these verses Imam Saadeq (SBUH) has asserted that Allah (SWT) told Hadrat Mohammad (SAWA) to give the unbelievers and hypocrites some time, and that He would avenge all the crimes perpetrated against him, ‘Ali, Fatima and … (SBUT), at time of Appearance of Mahdi (SBUH) … (Tafsir Qommi, Tafsir Jaame’, …)
