God’s Messenger of the Covenant
God’s Messenger of the Covenant is a consolidating messenger. His mission is to purify and unify all existing religions into one: Submission (Islam). |
Islam is NOT a name; it is a description of one’s total submission and devotion to God ALONE,
without idolizing Jesus,
Mary, Muhammad, or the saints. Anyone
who meets this criterion is a “Muslim” (Submitter). Therefore, one may be a Muslim Jew, a Muslim Christian, a Muslim Hindu, a Muslim Buddhist, or Muslim Muslim. |
God’s Messenger of the Covenant delivers God’s proclamation that “The only religion approved by God is Submission” (3:19) and that “Anyone
who seeks other than Submission as a religion, it will not be accepted from him/her” (3:85). |
A messenger of God
must
present
proof
that
he
is
God’s messenger. Every messenger of God
is
supported
by
incontrovertible
divine
signs
proving that he is authorized by the Almighty to deliver His messages.
Moses threw down his staff and it turned into
a serpent, Jesus
healed the leprous and
revived the
dead by
God’s
leave, Săleh’s sign
was the
famous camel, Abraham walked out of the fire,
and Muhammad’s miracle was the Quran
(29:50-51). |
The Quran
(3:81,
33:7,
33:40)
and
the
Bible
(Malachi
3:1-3)
have
prophesied the advent
of the consolidating messenger, God’s Messenger of the Covenant. It is only
befitting that a messenger with
such a crucial mission must be
supported
by
the
most
powerful
miracle
(74:30-35).
While the miracles of previous
messengers
were
limited
in
time
and
place, God’s miracle supporting His Messenger of the Covenant
is perpetual; it can be witnessed by anyone, at anytime, in any place. |
This Appendix presents physical, examinable, verifiable, and
irrefutable evidence that Rashad Khalifa
is God’s Messenger of the Covenant. |
A Quranic Truth
One of the major prophecies in the Quran
is
that
God’s Messenger of the Covenant will be sent after all the prophets have come to this world, and after all of God’s scriptures have been delivered.
God took a covenant
from the prophets, saying, “After I have given you the scripture and wisdom, a messenger will come to confirm what you have. You
shall believe in him and support him.” He said,
“Do
you
agree with this, and
pledge
to
uphold
this
covenant?” They said,
“We agree.” He said, “You have thus borne
witness, and I am
with you a witness.” (3:81) |
Muhammad Marmaduke Pickthall
translated 3:81 as follows:
When Allah
made (His) covenant with the Prophets, (He
said): Behold that
which I have given
you of the Scripture and knowledge. And afterward there will come unto you a messenger, confirming that which ye possess. Ye shall
believe in him and ye shall
help him. He said: Do ye agree, and will ye take up My burden
(which I lay upon you) in this (matter)? They answered: We agree.
He said: Then bear witness. I will be a witness with you. |
We learn from Sura 33 that Muhammad was one of the prophets
who made that solemn covenant with God.
And when we exacted
a covenant from the Prophets, and from thee (O Muhammad)
and from Noah and Abraham and Moses and Jesus son of Mary, We took from them a solemn covenant. 33:7 (according to Muhammad Marmaduke Pickthall) |
Verse 3:81,
among
many
other
verses,
provides
the
definitions
of
“Nabi”
(Prophet) and “Rasoul” (Messenger). Thus, “Nabi”
is a messenger
of God who delivers a new scripture, while “Rasoul” is a messenger
commissioned by God to
confirm existing scripture; he does
not
bring
a
new
scripture. According to the
Quran, every “Nabi” is a “Rasoul,” but
not every “Rasoul” is a “Nabi.”
Not every messenger
was given a new scripture. It is not logical that God will give
a scripture to a prophet,
then ask him to keep it exclusively for himself, as stated
by some Muslim “scholars” (2:42, 146, 159). Those who are not sufficiently familiar with the Quran tend to think that Aaron was a “Nabi,” as stated in 19:53,
who did not receive a scripture. However, the Quran clearly
states that the Statute
Book was given specifically “to both Moses and Aaron” (21:48, 37:117).
We learn from the Quran, 33:40, that Muhammad was the last prophet (Nabi), but not the last messenger (Rasoul):
Muhammad was
not the father
of any of your men;
he was a messenger (Rasoul) of God and the last prophet (Nabi). [33:40] |
This crucial definition is confirmed by the Quran's mathematical code.
The expression used in
33:40 is "Muhammad
Khaatum Al-Nabiyyeen" (the
last prophet). The gematrical value of this expression, plus the sura
number (33) and the verse number (40) is 1349, 19x71, while the value of the
erroneous expression "Muhammad Khaatum Al-Mursaleen" (the last messenger)
is not a multiple of 19.
From time immemorial, it has been a human trait to reject a contemporary, living messenger. Joseph was declared
“the last messenger” (40:34). Yet, many messengers came after him, including Moses, David, Solomon, Jesus, and Muhammad.
The Covenant Fulfilled
Although the prophets
are dead, as far as this world is concerned, we know that their souls, the real persons,
eternally exist somewhere
in the universe. Several
verses enjoin us from thinking
that the believers
who shed their bodies and departed this world are dead (2:154,
3:169, 4:69). Although
they cannot come back to our
world (23:100), they are “alive”
somewhere else in the universe.
[Appendix 17]
During my Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca,
and
before
sunrise
on Tuesday, Zul-Hijjah 3, 1391, December 21, 1971, I, Rashad Khalifa, the soul, the real person, not the body, was taken to some place in the universe where I was introduced
to all the prophets as God’s Messenger
of the Covenant. I was not informed of the details and true significance of this event until Ramadan
1408.
What I witnessed, in sharp consciousness, was that I was sitting
still, while the prophets, one by
one,
came
towards
me,
looked
at
my
face,
then
nodded
their
heads. God showed them to me as they had looked in this world, attired in their
respective mode of dress. There was an atmosphere of great awe, joy, and respect.
Except for Abraham,
none of the prophets was identified to me. I knew that all
the prophets were there, including Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, Aaron, David, Noah, and the rest. I believe that the reason for revealing
Abraham’s identity
was that I asked
about him. I was taken aback by the strong resemblance he had with my own family—myself, my father, my uncles.
It was the only time that I wondered, “Who is
this prophet who looks like my relatives?” The answer came: “Abraham.” No language was spoken. All communication was done mentally.
It is noteworthy that the date of this fulfillment of the prophets’
covenant was Zul-Hijja 3, 1391. If we add the month
(12), plus the day (3), plus the year (1391), we get a total of 1406, 19x74. Sura 74 is where the Quran’s common denominator, the number 19, is mentioned. Note that the number 1406 is also the number of years from the revelation of the Quran to the revelation of its miracle
(Appendix 1).
The mission of God’s Messenger of the Covenant
is to confirm existing scriptures, purify them, and consolidate them into one divine message.
The Quran states that such a messenger
is charged with restoring
God’s message to its pristine purity, to lead the righteous believers—Jews, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Sikhs, Hindus, and others—out
of darkness into the light (5:19 & 65:11). He is to proclaim
that Islam (total submission to God) is the only religion acceptable by God
(3:19).
Lo, I am sending
my messenger to prepare the way before me; |
and suddenly
there will come to the temple |
the Lord whom you seek and the messenger of the covenant whom you desire.
Yes, he is coming, says the Lord of hosts. |
But who will endure the day of his coming? And who can stand when he appears? |
For he is like the refiner’s fire, or like the fuller’s lye. [Malachi 3:1-2] |
The Proof
The name of God’s Messenger of the Covenant is mathematically coded into the Quran as “Rashad Khalifa.” This is certainly
the most appropriate method of introducing God’s messenger
to the world in the computer-age.
(1) As shown in Appendix 1, God’s great miracle in the Quran is based on the
prime number 19, and it remained hidden for 1406 years (19x74). This awesome miracle was predestined by Almighty God to be unveiled through
Rashad Khalifa. Hundreds of Muslim and Orientalist scholars
during the last 14 centuries have tried
in vain,
but none of them was permitted to decipher the significance of the Quranic Initials.
(2) The Quran is made easy for the sincere believers and seekers (54:17, 22, 32, 40 & 39:28). It is an irrevocable divine law that no one is permitted
access to the Quran, let alone its great miracle, unless he or she is a sincere believer who is
given specific divine authorization (17:45-46, 18:57, 41:44, 56:79).
The unveiling of the Quran’s miracle through Rashad Khalifa is a major sign of his messengership.
(3) The root word of the name “Rashad
” is “Rashada
” (to uphold the right guidance). This root word is mentioned in the Quran
19 times. Nineteen is the Quran’s common denominator (see INDEX TO THE WORDS OF QURAN, First Printing, Page 320).
(4) The word “Rashad”
occurs in 40:29 & 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, 38) and “Khalifa”
(38:26) we get 40+29+38+38+26 = 171 = 19x9. (5) The sum of all sura and verse numbers
where all “Rashada”
and all “Khalifa” occur, without
discrimination, add up to 1463, 19x77 (Table 1). (6) The total of all
suras
and
verses where the root word “Rashada” occurs is 1369,
or
(19x72)+1,
while the total for all
occurrences of “Khalifa” is 94, (19x5)-1. The fact that “Rashada”
is up
by one
and “Khalifa” is down by one pins down
the name as “Rashad
Khalifa,” and
not any “Rashad” or any “Khalifa.” (7) The gematrical value
of “Rashad” is 505 and the value
of “Khalifa” is 725
(Table 7, Appendix 1).
If we add
the value of “Rashad Khalifa” (1230) to the sura numbers,
and
the
number
of verses, from the beginning of the Quran to
the
first
occurrence
of
“Rashada,” the total
is 1425, 19x75. The details are given
in Table 2. (8) If we
add the numbers of all the verses in every
sura,
i.e.,
the
sum of verse numbers (1+2+3+...+n)
from the beginning of the Quran to
the first occurrence of the
root word “Rashada,”
the total comes to 17233, 19x907
(Table 2). (9) The Quranic Initials constitute the basic
foundation of the Quran’s miracle.
These initials occur
in suras 2, 3, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 19, 20, 26, 27, 28, 29,
30, 31, 32, 36, 38,
40, 41, 42,
43, 44, 45,
46, 50, and
68. If we add the
sum of these numbers (822) to the value of “Rashad Khalifa”
(1230), the total is 2052, 19x108. (10) As shown in Table
3,
if
we
add
the numbers of all
suras
where
the
root
word “Rashada” occurs, plus
the
number
of verses, we get 1368,
or 19x72. |
Also, “Rashad” (505) + “Khalifa” (725) + Sura Total (3) + Total of Verses (192) = 1425 (19x75) 505+725+3+192 = 1425 = 19x75
|
(11) If we write down the sura number, followed by the number of verses per
sura, followed by the individual verse numbers, from the first occurrence of the root word
“Rashada” (2:186) to the last occurrence of
“Rashada” (72:21), 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. This very long number begins with the number of Sura 2, followed by the number of verses in Sura 2 from
the first occurrence of “Rashada” at verse 186
to the end of the sura (100 verses). Thus, the beginning
of the number looks like this:
2 100. The numbers of these 100 individual verses (187 to 286) are placed
next to this number. Thus, the number representing Sura 2 looks like this: 2 100 187
188 189 .....
285 286. The same process
is carried out all the way to 72:21, the last
occurrence of the root “Rashada.” The complete number looks like this:
2 100
187
188
189
.....
72
21
1
2
3
.....
19
20
21 |
The Sura number is followed by the number
of verses, then the numbers
of individual verses, from the first to the
last
occurrence of “Rashada” (2:187 through 72:21) |
The complete number
consists of 11087 digits,
and is divisible by 19. |
(12) If we examine the suras and verses
from the first occurrence of
the
root
word
“Rashada” to the word “Khalifa” in
38:26,
we find that the
sum
of
sura
numbers
and
their numbers of verses is 4541, or 19x239.
The details are in Table 4. (13) When we write
down the value
of “Rashad” (505), followed by
the
value
of
“Khalifa” (725), followed by
every
sura number where
the root word “Rashada”
occurs, followed by the numbers
of its verses, from the
first
“Rashada”
(2:186)
to
the
word “Khalifa” (38:26), we get a long number
that is divisible by 19. |
|
The first occurrence of “Rashada” is in
2:186. So, we write down 2 186. The second occurrence is in 2:256,
so we write down 256. The next occurrence is in 4:6, so we write
down 4 6, and so on, until we write down 38 26 (“Khalifa” occurs in 38:26). The complete number looks like this:
505 725 2 186 256 4 6 ............... 38 26 |
The gematrical value of “Rashad”
is followed by the value
of “Khalifa,” followed by the sura number and verse numbers
of every occurrence of the root
word “Rashada” from the first occurrence of “Rashada” to the occurrence of “Khalifa” in 38:26. |
The Only Religion Approved by God is Submission
[3:19]
(14) The Quran specifies three messengers of Submission
(Islam):
Abraham
delivered all the practices
of Islam. The value of his name = 258
Muhammad delivered the Quran. The value of his name =
92
Rashad delivered Islam’s proof of authenticity. The value of his name = 505
Total gematrical value of the 3 names = 258+92+505 = 855
(19x45)
The true Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam will be consolidated into one religion—complete submission and absolute
devotion to God ALONE.
The existing religions, including Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are severely corrupted and will simply die out (9:33, 48:28, 61:9).
(15) Since the Quran sometimes refers to “Abraham,
Ismail, and Isaac,”
it was suggested that Ismail and Isaac should be included.
Remarkably, the addition of Ismail
and Isaac gave a total that is still a multiple of 19. As shown in Table 5, the new total is 1235, or 19x65. This divisibility by 19 is not possible if any of the 3
names Abraham, Muhammad, or Rashad is omitted.
Why 81: Verse 81 & Sura 81
(16) God’s Messenger of the Covenant is prophesied in Verse
81 of Sura 3.
The
addition of the
gematrical value of “Rashad” (505), plus the gematrical value
of “Khalifa” (725), plus the
Verse number (81), produces 505 + 725 + 81 = 1311 = 19x69. (17) If we look at Sura
81, we read about a messenger
of
God who is powerfully supported and authorized by the Almighty (Verse 19). Thus, Verse 81 of Sura 3, and Sura
81, Verse 19 are strongly connected with the name “Rashad Khalifa” 505 + 725 + 81 = 1311 = 19x69 (18) If we add the sura numbers plus the
number of verses from the beginning
of the Quran to Verse 3:81, where the
Messenger of the
Covenant is prophesied, the total comes to 380,
19x20. These data are in Table
6. (19) The gematrical value of
Verse 3:81 is 13148,
19x692.
This
value
is
obtained by adding the gematrical values of every letter
in the verse. (20) If we look at that portion of Verse
3:81 which refers specifically to the
messenger of the Covenant: “A messenger will come to you, confirming what you have,” in Arabic: |
|
“JAA’AKUM RASOOLUN MUSADDIQUN LEMAA MA`AKUM”
we find that the gematrical value of this key phrase is 836, 19x44.
“Surely, You Are One of the Messengers” (36:3)
(21) I was told most assertively, through the angel Gabriel,
that Verse 3 of Sura
36 refers specifically to me. If we arrange the initialed suras
only, starting with Sura 2, then Sura 3, then Sura 7, and so on, we find that Sura 36, Ya Seen, occupies
position number 19.
(22) Verse 3 of Sura 36 says, “Surely, you are one of the messengers.” The gematrical value of this phrase is 612. By adding this value (612), plus the sura
number (36), plus the verse number (3), plus
the
gematrical
value
of
“Rashad
Khalifa” (505+725), we get 36+3+612+505+725 = 1881 = 19x99.
(23) Sura 36 consists of 83 verses.
If we add the sura number (36), plus its number of verses (83), plus the gematrical value of “Rashad Khalifa” (505+725),
we get 36+83+505+725 = 1349 = 19x71. (24) From 3:81, where the Messenger of the Covenant is prophesied, to Sura 36, there are 3330 verses.
By adding the value
of “Rashad Khalifa” (1230), to this number of verses (3330), we get 505+725+3330 = 4560, 19x240. (25) From 3:81 to 36:3 there are 3333 verses. By adding this number to the gematrical value of
“Rashad”
(505),
we
get
3333+505 = 3838 = 19x202. (26) The number of verses from 1:1 to 36:3
is 3705, 19x195
(Table 7). (27) The sum of verse numbers of
every sura from 1:1
to
36:3
is
257925,
19x13575 (Table 7). (28) The sum
of sura numbers
from Sura 1 to Sura 36 is 666 (Table 7). If we add this
sum to the
gematrical value of “Rashad
Khalifa” (505+725), plus
the gematrical value of verse 36:3 “Surely, you are one of the
messengers,” (612), the total is: 666+505+725+612=2508= 19x132. (29) If we add the sum of verse
numbers (1+2+3+ ...+n) from
the
first
occurrence of the root
word “Rashada” (2:186) to 36:3 (You are one of the messengers) to the
total of suras
(35), plus the sura numbers themselves, the total is 241395, or 19 x 12705
(Table 8). (30) The sum of sura numbers from
the
first
occurrence
of
the
root
word
“Rashada” to 36:3 is 665, 19x35. Note that these
are 35 suras
(Table 8). |
|
“A Messenger to the People of the Scripture”
(Jews, Christians, and Muslims)
O people of the scripture, our
messenger has come to you,
to clarify things for you, after a long period without
messengers. Lest you say, “No preacher or warner has come to us.”
A preacher and warner has come to you. God is Omnipotent. [5:19] |
(31) Obviously, the number of this verse is 19, the Quran’s common denominator discovered
by Rashad, and the number of occurrences of “Rashada” in the
Quran.
(32) If
we add the
value of “Rashad Khalifa” (1230), plus
the
sura
number
(5),
plus
the verse number (19), we get
1230+5+19 = 1254 = 19x66. (33) The sum of the sura numbers and the
number of verses from the beginning of the Quran to this verse (5:19) is 703, 19x37. See Table 9. (34) Sura 98, “The Proof,” Verse 2, proclaims the
advent of God’s Messenger of the Covenant for
the benefit of “The People
of the Scripture (Jews, Christians,
and Muslims).” By adding the gematrical value
of “Rashad Khalifa” (505+725) to the sura number (98), plus the verse
number (2), we get:
505 + 725 + 98 + 2 = 1330 = 19x70. |
|
Those who disbelieved among the people
of the scripture (Jews,
Christians, Muslims), |
and the idolators, will not believe, despite the profound sign given to them. [98:1] |
A messenger from God, reciting Sacred Scriptures. |
[98:2] |
(35) It
is
noteworthy
that
the
word
“Bayyinah,”
which
means
“Profound
Sign,” and is the title
of Sura 98, occurs in the Quran
19 times. This is another mathematical confirmation that the Quran’s proof of divine authorship is based on the prime number 19, and that “Rashad
Khalifa” is the messenger in 98:2.
A Profound Messenger
Has Come [44:13]
(36) By
adding the sura
numbers, plus the number of verses in each sura, from 1:1 to
44:13, the total comes to 5415, 19x19x15 (Table 10).
(37) The
sum of the
sura number (44) plus the number
of the verse where the messenger is
predicted (13) equals 57, 19x3. See Table 10.
END
OF
THE
WORLD
(38) God is the only Knower of the
future;
He
knows
exactly
when
this
world will
end
(7:187,
31:34,
33:63,
41:47, 43:85). We learn from the Quran
that God
reveals
certain
aspects
of
the
future
to
His
chosen
messengers.
In Appendix 25, evidence is presented that Rashad Khalifa was
blessed with unveiling the End of the World, in accordance
with 72:27. (39) The number of verses from the beginning of the Quran
to Verse 72:27 is 5472, or 19x72x4. Note
that the messenger who is given
information about the future is in 72:27, and that this sura contains 4 “Rashada” words (72:2, 10, 14, & 21). By adding the value of “Rashad Khalifa” (1230), plus the sura number
(72), plus the
numbers
of
the
4
verses
where
“Rashada”
is
mentioned,
we
get
1230+72+2+10 +14+21 = 1349 = 19x71. (40) Verse 72:27 begins with the statement: “ ” (Only the Messenger that He chooses).
This reference to the messenger who is chosen
by God to receive news about the future
has a gematrical value of 1919. Table 11
presents the data. |

HOW TO
DISTINGUISH
GOD’S MESSENGER
FROM A
FAKE
MESSENGER The Quran provides
straightforward criteria
to
distinguish
the
true
messengers
of
God from the false messengers: [1] God’s messenger advocates the worship of
God
ALONE,
and
the
abolition
of
all
forms of idol worship. [2] God’s messenger never asks for
a wage for himself. [3] God’s messenger is given divine,
incontrovertible proof of his messengership. Anyone who claims
to be God’s messenger, and does not meet the three
minimum criteria listed
above is a false claimant. |
|
The most important difference between
God’s messenger and a fake messenger is that
God’s messenger is supported by God, while
the fake messenger is not: |
|
* God’s messenger is supported by God’s invisible soldiers (3:124-126, 9:26&40, 33:9, 37:171-173, 48:4&7, 74:31). |
* God’s messenger is supported by God’s treasury (63:7-8). |
* God’s messenger, as well as the believers, are guaranteed victory and dignity, in this
world and forever (40:51 & 58:21). |
Thus, the truthfulness of God’s messenger invariably prevails, while the falsehood of a fake messenger invariably, sooner or later, is exposed.
PRINCIPAL DUTIES OF
GOD’S
MESSENGER
OF
THE
COVENANT
As stated in the Quran, 3:81, God’s Messenger
of the Covenant shall confirm all the scriptures, which were delivered
by all the prophets, and restore them to
their original purity.
MERCY
FROM
GOD [21:107]
When the believers
are faced with a problem, they develop a number of possible
solutions, and this invariably leads to considerable bickering, disunity, and
disarray. We learn from 2:151, 3:164, and 21:107 that it is but mercy from God that
He sends to us messengers to provide the final solutions
to our problems. We learn
from 42:51 that God sends
His messengers to communicate with us, and to disseminate new information. Hence the strong injunction in 4:65, 80 to accept, without
