Guest guest Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Rebirth: Surah 56:60-61 Al Waqi'ah (The Inevitable) We have decreed Death to be your common lot, 5250 And We are not to be frustrated from changing your forms, And creating you (again) in (forms) that ye know not. surah 56:60-61 Al Waqi'ah (The Inevitable) (Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an, Amana Corporation, 1989.) Allah has prescribed physical death to be a normal fact of existence. Since the spirit of humans is eternal, material death in no way effects it. The individual spirit remains in its pure state, in the endless cycle of death, rebirth, and death again of each and every gross body it occupies. Allah can never ever be prevented from " changing your forms; " your present human form. You may be born again blind, retarded, sickly, rich, poor, evil, mad, dumb, intelligent, ugly, or idiotic. Allah can never ever be obstructed from " creating you again " ; giving you birth again. You may be born a Jew, Japanese, Hindu, aborigine, Muslim, black, prostitute, or king, Allah can never ever be averted from transforming you again " in forms that ye know not. " You may be created again as an insect, ape, tree, chicken, or dog. Only if humans are changed into other forms does death become a common lot. Only if humans are changed into other forms does rebirth become a common lot. Only if death becomes a common lot does rebirth become a common lot. Only if humans are changed into other forms does death and rebirth become a common lot. It is common sense. But this common sense of repeated death has been deliberately and deceitfully misinterpreted. These learned Islamic scholars knew that by interpreting common lot as repeated death would be to also acknowledge repeated rebirth. Then they would have to acknowledge to the reincarnation doctrines of the eastern religions and expose their indoctrinated prisoners to a fundamental Truth of Allah's other Messengers. It was easier to resort to falsehood than expose their conditioned captives to this timeless Reality, no matter how illogical the theory of a single life looked against the background of an evolving universe in the splendor of endless regeneration. With the craft and cunning of a deceiving mind they twisted His Truth with this interpretation; Islamic interpretation # 5250 " Just as Allah has created this life that we see, so He has decreed that Death should be the common lot of all of us. Surely, if He can thus give life and death, as we see it, why should we refuse to believe that He can give us other forms when this life is over? The Future Life, though indicated by what we know now, is to be on a wholly different plane. " Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an, Amana Corporation, 1989. Abdullah Yusuf Ali and his scholars agree that Allah can give us other forms in future lives. What are these forms? They just don't know (or want to know)! Abdullah Yusuf Ali and his forty scholars — the Defrauders (Al-Mutaffin) — apply their version of " other forms when this life is over " to the Future Life. What is their version? Nobody knows! And one billion naive humans also do not know, preferring to keep their heads in the sand and remain blissfully ignorant. But there is a collective cause for this mass learning disability. The majority of Muslims are non-Arabic and do not understand the Qur'an. It doesn't matter to fools if blind theologians or ignorant scholars lead them. After all, ignorance is bliss. " God, the Almighty, the Knower, the Cognizant knows that the majority of the Muslims in the world will not be reading, speaking or understanding Arabic. 90% of the Muslims in this world ( about 900 millions) cannot read, understand or speak Arabic. " Dr. Rashad Khalifa, Ph.d Masjid Tucson, United Submitters International, PO Box 43476, Tucson, AZ, USA. " Translations of the Qur'an in other languages are not called the Qur'an. They are called ma'al or explanations of the Qur'an. If they have been prepared by devout Muslims who are experts and who have good intentions towards the subject, they can be read in order to understand the meaning of the Qur'an. There is nothing wrong in this. They cannot be read as the Qur'an itself. It is not reward- deserving to read them as the Qur'an. It is a sin, instead. Muslims should read the Qur'an as Allahu ta'ala revealed it. It is reward- deserving also to read it without understanding the meaning. Certainly it is all the more reward — deserving and better to read it and to understand the meaning. The Arabic spoken in Egypt, Iraq, Hijaz and Morocco is not the same in each of these countries. In which of these dialects of Arabic will the Qur'an be explained? For understanding the Qur'an, it is necessary to know Quraish Arabic, not today's Arabic. " ihlas (Waqf Ikhlas, Istanbul, 1995.)
