Dear Mr Kowsari.
As I receive the monthly JS of Dr. Fazely and his associates, I read your letter. So as a believer to another believer, I wanted to reply to your letter, thanking you for yours.
As I was not sure you read Farsi (referring to your name), I did not take a risk; but if you do, and if we were to continue our communication, then let me know and we will write in Farsi.
I’ve gathered from your letter that you are a sincere believer, and hope, a non prejudiced one. I see you have made the effort to study the Ghor’an (Qur’an) words; and this has a lot of importance for what I am about to say.
I congratulate you on your referring to (3:18), concerning the right sort of highlight on “Tashahud”, well done. This is precisely what brings me to write to you and send you a copy of my letters, concerning the Work & Words of Allah. Because it shows that you are someone to spend time and effort on God’s Word.
I sincerely hope that my letter will not in anyway offend you. My only intention is to share the Facts with more & more believers, and people willing to connect to the System of the Creator, Allah, the Lord of people of the World.
As to my introduction; I went to Tucson in 1985, to meet Dr. Rashad Khalifa, after hearing about his work. After receiving “the Message” through the Proof of the mathematical coding of the Book, that consisted of purification in “The Religion” and our “Salat”, for the worship of God Alone; I was the one who announced his Messenger hood at the first “Convention”, held in San Francisco in 1986.
But then, after the Convention of 1988, I wrote a letter to R.Kh about my deception on the way that Convention was held. About his speech at that Convention that should have been on the Greatness of our Lord instead of speaking for hours about a so called Rabbi, and what nonsense and diminishing words he had said about God…; that in S.74:3 you are to remind the Greatness of your Lord through His Word, and not repeating the low words of a Rabbi; that he had changed during the last three years, and now he only talks about his being the Messenger…; or we, people at the Convention, knew that he is a Messenger, and we were eager to hear more about God; that it was absurd to the way he got mad at me, because I had made a remark on his error in his translation, finding mistakes to be corrected.
This was in 1988, and I have been declared as the “enemy”, ever since.
The situation was degrading; and Rashad was getting more and more off his Line of Message, making more and more mistakes, deviating his lot from the Reality. Until 1990, on the 23rd of January, that I wrote two letters; one to Rashad and the other to the believers (that I am sending you a photo copy of them), warning them about the end of Rashad’s Work; and the “limit” and the containing of his Message, all of which mentioned in the Ghor’an.
Getting off “the line” of one’s work, unfortunately is what is happening to Dr. Fazely. What I am sincerely hoping for you, is that you would study all the verses mentioned in my letters, putting all sorts of prejudices aside before judging and choosing your way, that should be the Ghor’an’s Way for the Believers. (I suggest you read the copies before continuing my letter, as there are some comments on your own letter in JS, v2, April1996).
-Some comments on your letter in the JS-
It is the absolute fact that the Knowledge and Explaining (Tafseer) of the Ghor’an is only by Allah (55:2 & 25:33).
But as for, “……..being a continuous process and does not begin or end with a particular person or messenger…” : I do not quite agree. Because in this case, every now and then some “Fazely” comes and changes something and adding up another “tafseer” to thousands… already confusing the poor people. Moreover, a Messenger never dies or vanishes before having finished his Message. As you have already seen in my copies, the S.98, “The Proof”, is the totality of RKh ‘s Mission (including the math.’ code and the calculation of the end of the World).
Consequently RK’s Mission was to tell about: purifying the Religion (calling Allah Alone, forbidding any “hadith” and “sonnat”); purifying the Salat (of the second tashahud to Muhammad); Zakat (making it monthly payment for the majority of people).
There is absolutely no mention of changing anything in Salat, or else it would have been mentioned in the Ghor’an like for Zakat and “Fasting”, that some changes were made from the time of Abraham.
A Messenger unveils some hidden secrets in the Book (as you have mentioned it yourself in your letter), and he is not to change any Word of It. RK never changed anything in the Religion or the Ghor’an; but he only cleaned off the superfluous robing (74:3), added up by man, during the last 1400 years.
So when you say that Rashad’s followers say: “Rashad said Allaho Akbar, then it is enough for us.”, it is true in a way; he was to purify the Salat , consequently if anything had to be changed in it , he should have said it; as it was a matter in his Mission.
If we are to use our brain and study the Ghor’an, it is mostly to find out about the authenticity of the Message of a Messenger. For instance, when the Message came by RK, that we should give only one “shahada”, we found out its authenticity in 6:19 and (as you said) in 3:18. Or these verses were there all the time, and we never found them before, for hundreds of years and no matter how much study and brain using;
Concerning (7:180): There are three important factors not to be overlooked. And as I gather that you know Arabic or Farsi, I ‘ll explain myself in the following:
“Asma’ol Hosna” = “Asma’ Mohasanat”
Or, nouns (names) of perfections (qualities/adjectives).
“Yolhadoon” = Acting unjustly, not up-righting , infidelity.
The word : “Distort” is not appropriate for “Lahada”.
And the third factor, is the word “in” (فیه), so the verse is:
“Nouns of qualities attribute to God; therefore call Him by them; and let alone those who are not up-righting (they deviate, they are infidel) in His Names; soon will they compensate their operation”.
The word, “Elhad” (Yolhadoon) is: deviating the belongings of Allah and refer them to others; and for this reason it is that the kind and nature of these belongings are detailed ( i. e. the belongings concerning the Book only, like: His Names, verses, Words, Instructions 7:180, 16:103, 41:40, 22:25, 18:27,72:22).
The word “Tahreef”(distorting) being also in Ghor’an, means exclusively deviating the letters of the Book. So there is a difference between the two that must not be overlooked.
These perfections are His Qualities, so they are adjectives; and by calling Him by them, they become “nouns of adjectives”; consequently, “ Names”. The word “calling” in this verse is “the clue”; for calling, we have to use: “O, The Wise..(Ya AlHakeem); and as you see in the Ghor’an, everyone of these Qualities (or by calling becoming, Names) have the exclusivity for realizing a different matter and “demand”. Knowing now that every word of the Ghor’an is coded, it is easily understood why in “Do’a”(calling) we have to use the Right Words, in order to realize our wish and effectuate the promise of the Ghor’an
81:21 “The words of Ghor’an are obeyed”
In this S., from v19 to 21 is quite misunderstood; the Messenger referred to, is neither Muhammad, nor Rashad, but the Ghor’an.)
I can assure you that the phrase “Allaho Alkabeer” does not exist in the Ghor’an. This being a total invention of man and absolutely not a divine sentence. And as to “God is Greater”, there is a word missing here. The “zikr” of God is Greater; and it is not: “calling God”. This is so genius and out of man’s reach… and yet you want to change it ?.… The zikr of Allaho Akbar, is as a reminder.
To remind you to come back on concentrating on God in Salat, that is greater for you than letting your mind wander about on other things; so in fact it serves or calling your mind to God. This is what was Taught to Abraham to say; and was what Muhammad said; and for us, not only there is no Instruction in the Ghor’an to change it, but it is confirmed in (29:45). (Please read my full explanation in the copy I sent you).
So you see how “new information..” can be dangerous and deviating from the Lord’s Path. This is where, precisely, we should “use our brain in the study of the Ghor’an”, as you say in your letter.
In 13:8-9: from the v.8, you see that God is Introducing His Qualifications and Power; the v.9 is a continuation and four more adjs.
“Alkabeerol- Moteal” are qualitative to each other, and not a Name. (unless of course you call Him by them: “Ya AlKabeerol Moteal”, and this is “Do’a” and has nothing to do with Salat).
22:62 = In this also, you see between “Allah” and “Aleeol Kabeer”, the word, “hova”, meaning, “He is”. Consequently, “Aleeol Kabeer” becomes adj. And is not straight name. The same in: 31:30, 34:23, 35:32 and 40:12.
And the last most important of all, is the fact that the word “Salat” does not, by all means, mean “Prayer”. Prayer is, “Do’a”. The root word of Salat is “wasl”, and Salat means, “Tawasol”; meaning: “to connect”, “establishing the connection”. Therefore we should call Him by those Quality Names in prayer(do’a), and not in the Salat.
As you said in your letter: “….The reasons are clear, and very easy to verify , but the objectors will continue to object and make excuses.”
You are right. it is very easily verified. And I sincerely hope you will do so and prevent, maybe many others to commit this unjustified mistake.
If the followers of Rashad call the people who say “Allahol Kabeer”, idol worshippers; I say they are “victims”. Victim of a man whose ego became his guide. But now that these people are warned about the Truth, they have to verify the Fact. And this is why I have taken my time to write to you, hoping, and realizing the importance of even saving one person. Please do the same.
This is the devil’s work, no doubt about it.
And as to 17:110, I might go into it some other time, that is if you wish so; there is a beautiful meaning hidden in this verse; it is in fact the “tashahud” of today’s Believers, in Salat.
Yours faithfully,
Susan
