YUSUFALI: High above all is Allah, the King, the Truth! Be not in haste with the Qur'an before its revelation to thee is completed, but say, " O my Lord! advance me in knowledge. " YUSUFALI: We had already, beforehand, taken the covenant of Adam, but he forgot: and We found on his part no firm resolve. 075.016-18 YUSUFALI: Move not thy tongue concerning the (Qur'an) to make haste therewith. YUSUFALI: It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it: YUSUFALI: But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital (as promulgated) " 5820. Cf. 20:114, and n. 2639: " Be not in haste with the Qur'an before its revelation to thee is completed. " S. 75. is an earlier revelation, and the shade of the meaning is slightly different. The immediate meaning was that the Holy Prophet was to allow the revelation conveyed to him to sink into his mind and heart and not be impatient about it; Allah would certainly complete it according to His Plan, and see that it was collected and preserved for men, and not lost; that the inspired one was to follow it and recite it as the inspiration was conveyed to him; and that it carries its own explanation according to the faculties bestowed by Allah on man. The general meaning follows the same lines; we must not be impatient about the inspired Word; we must follow it as made clear to us by the faculties given to us by Allah. " Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an, Amana Corporation, 1989. Note: Anybody with just a little intelligence can realize that Abdullah Yusuf Ali is lying when he claims that " the shade of the meaning (of 020.114) is slightly different " from 075.016-18. Even Karen Armstrong has fallen for this neat trick and lie used by the Muslim clergy to conviniently gag Allah's clearest of injunctions never to interfere with surah 75 (Al-Qiyamah) - Do not even move your tongue as it is up to Us (Allah and His Ruh) to promulgate, recite and explain the Resurrection! " promulgate: 1 to publish or make known officially (a decree) 2 a) to make known the terms of (a new or proposed law or statute) b) to put (a law) into effect by publishing its terms 3 to make widespread " Webster New World Dictionary, Simon & Schuster, Inc. 1988. " recital: 1 a) a reciting, specifically, a telling of facts, events, etc. in detail b) what is so told; account, story, or description 2 a detailed statement, as of facts or events " Webster New World Dictionary, Simon & Schuster, Inc. 1988. " explain: 1 to make clear, plain, or understandable 2 to give the meaning or interpretation of; expound 3 to account for; state reasons for - vi. to give an explanation - explain away to state reasons for so as to justify, often by minimizing, or make understandable - explain implies a making clear or intelligible of something that is not known or understood " Webster New World Dictionary, Simon & Schuster, Inc. 1988. For centuries hundreds and thousands of scholars first molested, then raped, and finally mutilated the revelation of Al-Qiyamah beyond recognition, before leaving it pregnant with distortion, delusion and deceit. Even scores of scholars working with Abdullah Yusuf Ali took part in this orgy despite the clearest of Allah's injunctions. Iblis, you kept your promise to mislead humans till the Day of Resurrection. In order to substantiate this extremely serious allegation it has to be first understood that the word " Qur'an " is interpolated. To interpolate means (a) to alter or corrupt (as a text) by inserting new or foreign matter (b) to insert words into a text or into a conversation. The word " Qur'an " is in brackets as the interpreters have conveniently interpolated it to substitute for a missing word. So what is that missing word that has been substituted? It can be no other than " Resurrection " as the entire surah 75 deals only with the Great Event ordained for all humanity. Let Allah be my witness that this message has been conveyed. May the ulema never ever defile this Truth again! No Islamic theologian—not a single among the thousands—want any Muslim to believe that Allah said that the commencement of Qiyamah will be announced, for that would be direct admission of the possibility of further Messengers to convey His Message. As far as they are concerned it is better to distort truth than cast doubt on Islamic dogma. And millions of brainwashed fools swoon in ecstasy when verses of Qiyamah are recited, and dream of their graves opening up to receive salvation on Doomsday! For centuries thousands of Islamic scholars, theologians, shaikhs, ayatollahs, clerics, imams, ulema, mullahs and muftis have continuously and collectively raped the prophetic purpose of surah Al-Qiyamah i.e., Allah's direct intervention to commence Qiyamah by the collection, promulgation, recital and explanation of Signs and Surahs signalling this Great News (Al Naba). Instead of warning the Ummah not to interfere or interpret this most Sacred Revelation, these transgressors openly encouraged the ummah to join them. This flagrant violation impregnated the Supreme Surah with so much seed that it has now given birth to countless satanic interpretations, interpretations that triggers the very rejection of the Great News (Al Naba) of the Night of Power (Al Qadr) and the Day Muslims will remain unaware of (Al Rum). Instead of warning the Ummah not to interfere or interpret it, these transgressors encouraged them to do just that by advising: " that the inspired one was to follow it and recite it as the inspiration was conveyed to him; and that it carries its own explanation according to the faculties bestowed by Allah on man. The general meaning follows the same lines; we must not be impatient about the inspired Word; we must follow it as made clear to us by the faculties given to us by Allah. " The entire Ummah collectively propagated this self-deception! But during this blessed Al Qadr (The Night of Destiny) this Jahiliyyah or Time of Ignorance is coming to an end. Surely it must end as for centuries the ulema (Muslim clergy) have put locks on the minds of the Ummah. Surely Jahiliyyah must end as only in these modern times is it possible for the falsely indoctrinated masses to own and read the Quran in a language they understand ......... and prehaps avoid the Hour that must surely come! " Are they waiting until the Hour comes to them suddenly? All the Signs thereof have already come. Once the Hour comes to them, how will they benefit from their message? " " Why do they not study the Quran carefully? Do they have locks on their minds? " Qur'an 47:18-24 http://adishakti.org/al-qiyamah/surah_16-19.htm , " violet_tubb " <violetubb wrote: > > ('Jahiliyyah' - traditionally translated " Time of Ignorance " , and used to apply to the pre-Islamic period in Arabia, but in the Muslim sources its primary meaning is violent and explosive irascibility, arrogance, tribal chauvinism. [Muhammad Prophet For Our Time Glossary pg. 217].) > > > Jahiliyyah - Part 1 > > (p.53) HE BEGAN QUIETLY, speaking about his revelations to a small band of friends and family members, who became enthusiastic and sympathetic disciples, convinced that he was the long-awaited Arab prophet. But Mohammad realized that most of the Quraysh would find it well-nigh impossible to accept this. The messengers of Allah had all been towering figures, founding fathers of society. Some had even worked miracles. How could Muhammad measure up to Moses or Jesus? The Quraysh had watched him growing up; they saw him going about his business in the market, eating and drinking like everybody else. They had jettisoned many muruwah values [chivalric code of the Bedouin], but had retained its elitist, aristocratic outlook and would expect God to choose a well-born karim [a Bedouin ideal] from one of the more distinguished clans, rather than a minor member of Hashim [the Meccan clan of Muhammad]. How would they react when Muhammad told them to abandon their lofty independence in a way that violated the sunnah [path, way of life] of their forefathers? > > (p.54) Even at this early age, Muhammad had encountered opposition. Khadijah, their daughters, 'Ali, and Zayd accepted his new status unconditionally, but though his uncle Abu Talib would continue to love and support him, he was deeply pained that Muhammad had the temerity to depart from the absolute authority of their ancestors. He was splitting up the family. Muhammad's cousins--Ja'far ibn Abi Talib, 'Abdullah and 'Ubaydallah ibn Jahsh, and their sister Zaynab--all accepted the revelations, but his uncles 'Abbas and Hamzah did not, though their wives did. Muhammad's son-in-law, Abu l-'As, who had married his daughter Zaynab, refused even to consider the new religion. Naturally, this was distressing to Muhammad. Family solidarity was a sacred value, and like any Arab, he respected the elders of his tribe and clan. He expected leadership to come from the top, but it was the younger generation who responded to his message. The revelations had already started to push Muhammad away from the norm. He could not help noticing that many of his followers came from the lower classes. A significant number were women, others freedmen, servants, and slaves. Foremost among the latter was Bilal, an Abyssinian with an extraordinarily loud voice. When the Muslims gathered to pray together in the Haram, Muhammad found himself surrounded by " the young men and weak people of the city. " [1] Muhammad welcomed them warmly into his little company, but he must have wondered how a movement of such peripheral people could succeed. Indeed, some of the Qurayshan elders, who as yet knew nothing of the revelations, had begun to ask him why he was consorting with such riff-raff. > > (p.55) The " weak " people were not all down-and-outs; this technical tribal term denoted inferior tribal status rather than poverty. Muhammad's most zealous follower at this point was his friend 'Attiq Ibn 'Uthman, who was usually known by his 'kunya', Abu Bakr. (*) He was a successful, wealthy merchant, but like Muhammad he came from a " weak " clan that had fallen on hard times. Abu Bakr was " well-liked and of easy manners, " Ibn Ishaq tells us, a kindly, approachable man, especially skilled in the interpretation of dreams. [2] Many of the younger generation, who were disturbed by the aggressive capitalism of Mecca, came to him for advice. Some of the young felt an urgent sense of personal peril, a torpor of depression from which they longed to wake, and a frightening alienation from their parents. The son of an important financier in one of the more powerful clans dreamed that his father was trying to push him into a pit that was filled with fire; then he had felt two strong hands pulling him to safety and realized, at the moment of waking, that his savior was Muhammad. [3] Another youth, this one from the prestigious clan of 'Abd Shams, came to Abu Bakr after dreaming that he had heard a voice crying aloud in the desert " Sleepers, awake! " and proclaiming that a prophet had appeared in Mecca. [4] Both these young men became Muslims, but the first kept his new faith a secret from his father for as long as he could, and the latter's conversion greatly displeased the elders of his clan, who were among the most influential men in Mecca. > > (*) After the birth of their first son, Arabs customarily take an honorary title known as the 'kunya'. Abu Bakr means " the father of Bakr. " His wife would have been known as Umm Bakr, " the mother of Bakr. " Muhammad was often known as Abu al-Qasim. > > (p.56) The revelations had brought to light a fault line in the city. Over the years, a worrying divide had opened between young and old, rich and poor, men and women. This was dangerous. The scripture that was being revealed to Muhammad, verse by verse, surah by surah [chapter by chapter of the Qur'an], condemned this kind of inequality; one faction would inevitably suffer at the hands of another. [5] Any society that was divided against itself would be destroyed, because it was going against the very nature of things. This was a frightening period. The incessant wars between Persia and Byzantium seemed to herald the end of the old world order, and even within Arabia, tribal warfare had reached chronic proportions. During the last twenty years, the ghazu [acquisition raid, essential to the Bedouin economy], which had traditionally been short and sharp, had escalated into long, drawn out military campaigns as a result of unprecedented drought and famine. There was an apocalyptic sense of impending catastrophe. Muhammad was convinced that unless the Quraysh reformed their attitudes and behavior, they too would fall prey to the anarchy that threatened to engulf the world. > > Under the inspiration of Allah, Muhammad was feeling his way towards an entirely new solution, convinced that he was not speaking in his own name, but was simply repeating the revealed words of God. It was a painful, difficult process. He once said: " Never once did I receive a revelation without thinking that my soul had been torn away from me. " [6] Sometimes the message was clear. He could almost see and hear Gabriel distinctly. (p.57) The words seemed to " come down " to him, like a shower of life-giving rain. But often the divine voice was muffled and obscure: " Sometimes it comes unto me like the reverberations of a bell, and that is the hardest upon me; the reverberations abate when I am aware of their message. " [7] He had to listen to the undercurrent of events, trying to discover what was really going on. He would grow pale with the effort and cover himself with his cloak, as if to shield himself from the divine impact. He would perspire heavily, even on a cold day, as he turned inwards, searching his soul for a solution to a problem, in rather the same way as a poet has to open himself to the words that he must haul from the depths of himself to the conscious level of his mind. In the Qur'an, God instructed Muhammad to listen intently to each revelation as it emerged; he must be careful not to impose a meaning on a verse prematurely, before its full significance had become entirely clear. [8] > > In the Qur'an, therefore, God spoke directly to the people of Mecca, using Muhammad as his mouthpiece, just as he spoke through the Hebrew prophets in the Jewish scriptures. Hence the language of the Qur'an is sacred, because--Muslims believe--it records the words spoken in some way by God himself. When Muhammad's converts listened to the divine voice, chanted first by the Prophet and later by the skilled Qur'an reciters, they felt that they had an immediate encounter with Allah. Biblical Hebrew is experienced as a holy tongue in rather the same way. Christians do not have this concept of a sacred language, because there is nothing holy about New Testament Greek; their scriptures presented Jesus as the Word spoken by God to humanity. (p.58) Like any scripture, the Qur'an thus provided an encounter with transcendence, bridging the immense gulf between our frail, mortal world and the divine. > > Muhammad (Prophet For Our Time) > Chapter 2, 'Jahiliyyah', p.53-58 > Karen Armstrong > Harper Perennial - London, New York, Toronto and Sydney > ISBN-13 978-0-00-723248-2 > ISBN-10 0-00-723248-9 > > Notes: > > [1] This was noted by the seventh century Meccan historian Ibn Shifan al-Zuhri, who is quoted in W.
