Surely, those who believe,
those who are Jewish,
the
Christians,
the
converts;
anyone who
(1)
believes in God, and
(2)
believes in the Hereafter, and
(3)
leads a righteous life,
will receive their recompense
from their Lord;
they have nothing to fear,
nor
will they grieve.
[ 2:62, 5:69 ]

Proclaiming
One Unified
Religion
for All the
People
All religions of
the world-Judaism,
Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and others-have been severely corrupted
through innovations, traditions, and the idolization of humans such as the prophets and the saints.
God's plan, as stated in
the Old Testament (Malachi 3:1), the
New Testament (Luke 17:22-36 & Matthew 24:27), and this Final
Testament (3:81), calls for the sending of God's Messenger of the Covenant
after all the scriptures
have been delivered. The main function of God's Messenger of the Covenant
is to purify the scriptures and unify them into one universal message
to this world from the Creator and Sustainer of this world.
This major scriptural prophecy has now been fulfilled. God's Messenger
of the Covenant has arrived, supported by overwhelming tangible proof
(see Appendix Two). The purification and unification process
has begun. God's plan is
supported by God's invisible
forces, and the enormous dimensions of this divine plan is
manifest in the recent exposure of false religionists, and the removal of such anti-freedom barriers as the Berlin Wall, the Iron Curtain,
and the bamboo curtain.
Henceforth, there is only one religion acceptable to God-Submission.
Anyone who submits to God and devotes the worship to God ALONE is a "Submitter." Thus, one may be a Jewish Submitter, a Christian Submitter, a Buddhist Submitter, a Hindu Submitter, or a Muslim Submitter.
The only religion acceptable
to God is Submission. [3:19]
Anyone who seeks other than Submission as his religion,
it
will not be accepted from him and, in the Hereafter,
he will be with the losers. [3:85]
A
prophet like me will the Lord, your God, raise up for you from among your kinsmen;
to him you shall listen.
(Moses in Deuteronomy 18:15)
I
will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their kinsmen,
and will put My words into his mouth; he shall tell them all that I command him. If any man will not
listen to My words which he speaks in My name,
I Myself will make him answer
for it.
(Deuteronomy 18:18-19)
I will ask the Father, and He will give you another
Paraclete-to be with you always: THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH.
(Jesus in John 14:16-17)
When THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH comes to you, he will guide you to all truth, and will
announce to you the things to come.
(Jesus in John 16:13)
God's Messenger
of the Covenant
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 ... he will sit purifying
....
(Malachi 3:1-3)
When God ALONE is mentioned,
the hearts of those who do not
believe in the Hereafter
shrink
with aversion. But when others
are mentioned besides
Him, they
rejoice. [39:45]
On
the 27th night of Ramadan,
13 B.H. (Before Hijra) (610
A.D.), the prophet Muhammad (the soul-the real person-
not the body) was summoned
to the highest possible point, millions of light years
from the planet Earth,
and this Quran was placed into his heart (2:185, 17:1, 44:3, 53:1-18, 97:1).
Subsequently, the Quran
was released into Muhammad's memory, with Gabriel's mediation, over a period
of 23 years, 610 to 632
A.D. (17:106).
At the
moment of release, Muhammad scrupulously wrote it down with his own hand (Appendix
28). What
Muhammad left was the complete
Quran, written in the chronological sequence
of revelation, with detailed instructions for putting the revelations into the sequence decreed by God.
During the re-arrangement process, the scribes who idolized the Prophet added two verses at the end of Sura 9, the last sura revealed in Medina. This blasphemous act resulted in a 50-year war between Ali Ibn Abi Taaleb and his supporters on one side and the distorters of the Quran on the other
side. The war ended when Hussein ibn Ali
and his family were martyred in Karbala.
It was the Umayyad ruler Marwan Ibn Al-Hakam (died
in 684 AD) who destroyed the original
Quran that was written
by
Muhammad's hand, "fearing the eruption of new disputes."
God's Messenger
of the
Covenant has presented
overwhelming evidence that 9:128-129 do
not belong
in the
Quran (Appendix 24). With the removal of these false verses,
the Quran has finally been restored. Our
generation is the first ever to receive the Quran in its purified and finalized
form (see Appendices 1 and 28).
