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:| |Islam (Submission). | | | |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,| |Saaleh'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, "I will give you the| |scripture and wisdom. Afterwards, a messenger will come to confirm| |all existing scriptures. You shall believe in him and support him."| |He said, "Do you agree with this, and pledge to fulfill this| |covenant?" They said, "We agree." He said, "You have thus borne| |witness, and I bear witness along with you." | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
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 Torah
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, “Muhammad Khaatum Al-Nabiyyeen” (the last prophet) has a gematrical
value of 1349, 19×71, 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, are now in the Garden of Eden where Adam
& Eve lived. 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” in Paradise. Please
see 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, 19×74. 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 (19×74). 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 Table 1: Suras and Verses of
for the sincere believers “Rashada” and Khalifa”
and seekers (54:17, 22, 32, +--------------------------------------+
40 & 39:28). It is an irre- | “Rashada” “Khalifa” |
vocable divine law that no | No. Sura Verse Sura Verse |

who is given specific divine | 4. 7 146 |
authorization (17:45-46, | 5. 11 78 |
18:57, 41:44, 56:79). The | 6. – 87 |

miracle through Rashad | 8. 18 10 |

his messengership. | 10. – 24 |
| 11. – 66 |
(3) The root word of the | 12. 21 51 |
name “Rashad” is “Rashada” | 13. 40 29 |
(to uphold the right | 14. – 38 |
guidance). This root word | 15. 49 7 |
is mentioned in the Quran | 16. 72 2 |
19 times. Nineteen is the | 17. – 10 |
Quran’s common denominator | 18. – 14 (Sura 2 |

320). | 224 1145 38 56 |
| 224+1145+38+56 = 1463 = 19×77 |
(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 = 19×9.
(5) The sum of all sura and verse numbers where all “Rashada” and all
“Khalifa” occur, without discrimination, add up to 1463, 19×77 (Table
1).
(6) The total of all suras and verses where the root word “Rashada” occurs is
1369, or (19×72)+1, while the total for all occurrences of “Khalifa” is 94, (19×5)-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.”

| 505 + 725 + 3 + 192 = 1425 = 19x95 |
(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, 19×907 (Table 2).
(9) The Quranic Initials constitute Table 3: The Suras Where the the basic foundation of the Quran's Root Word "Rashada" Occurs miracle. These initials occur in +-----------------------------+ suras 2, 3, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, | Sura No.of | 15, 19, 20, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, | No. Verses Total | 32, 36, 38, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, | ----- ------ ----- | 46, 50, and 68. If we add the sum | 2 286 288 | of these numbers (822) to the value | 4 176 180 | of "Rashad Khalifa" (1230), the | 7 206 213 | total is 2052, 19x108. | 11 123 134 | | 18 110 128 | (10) As shown in Table 3, if we add | 21 112 133 | the numbers of all suras where the | 40 85 125 | root word "Rashada" occurs, plus the | 49 18 67 | number of verses, we get 1368, or | 72 28 100 | 19x72. | ---- ----- ----- | | 224 1144 1368 | (11) If we write down the sura number, | (19x72)| 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
19×239. The details are in Table 4.
Table 4: The Suras and Verses (13) When we write down the value from the 1st "Rashada" of "Rashad" (505), followed by the to "Khalifa." value of "Khalifa" (725), followed +------------------------------+ by every sura number where the root | Sura No.of | word "Rashada" occurs, followed by | No. Verses Total | the numbers of its verses, from the | ---- ------ ----- | first "Rashada" (2:186) to the word | 2 100(187-286) 102 | "Khalifa" (38:26), we get a long | 3 200 203 | number that is divisible by 19. | 4 176 180 | | 5 120 125 | The first occurrence of "Rashada" | - - - | is in 2:186. So, we write down | 36 83 119 | 2 186. The second occurrence is in | 37 182 219 | 2:256, so we write down 256. The | 38 26 64 | next occurrence is in 4:6, so we |----- ------ ------ | write down 4 6, and so on, until we | 740 3801 4541 | write down 38 26 ("Khalifa" occurs | (19x239)| in 38:26).

The Only Religion Approved by God is Islam
[3:19]
(14) The Quran specifies three messengers of Islam (Submission):
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.
(19×45)
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 19×65. 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 gemat-
rical value of “Rashad” (505), Table 5: Gematrical Value of
plus the gematrical value of the 5 Messengers
“Khalifa” (725), plus the Verse +———————————-+
number (81), produces 505 + 725 | Value of |

(17) If we look at Sura 81, we | Abraham 1+2+200+5+10+40 258 |
read about a messenger of God who | Ismail 1+60+40+70+10+30 211 |
is powerfully supported and | Isaac 1+60+8+100 169 |
authorized by the Almighty (Verse | Muhammad 40+8+40+4 92 |
19). Thus, Verse 81 of Sura 3, and| Rashad 200+300+1+4 505 |

connected with the name “Rashad | 1235 1235 |

(18) If we add the sura numbers plus Table 6: The Suras and Verses
the number of verses from the from 1:1 to 3:81
beginning of the Quran to Verse 3:81, +——————————+

(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, 19×44.
“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 = 19×99.
(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 = 19×71.
(24) From 3:81, where the Messenger Table 7: Suras and Verses from of the Covenant is prophesied, to Sura 1 to Verse 3 of Sura 36. Sura 36, there are 3330 verses. By +-------------------------------+ adding the value of "Rashad Khalifa" | Sura No.of Sum of | (1230), to this number of verses | No. Verses Verse #s | (3330), we get 505+725+3330 = 4560, |----- ------ --------- | 19x240. | 1 7 28 | | 2 286 41041 | (25) From 3:81 to 36:3 there are 3333| 3 200 20100 | verses. By adding this number to the | - - - | gematrical value of "Rashad" (505), | 9 127 8128 | we get 3333+505 = 3838 = 19x202. | - - - | | 34 54 1485 | (26) The number of verses from 1:1 | 35 45 1035 | to 36:3 is 3705, 19x195 (Table 7). | 36 2 3 | |----- ----- ------ | (27) The sum of verse numbers of | 666 3705 257925 | every sura from 1:1 to 36:3 is | (19x195) (19x13575) | 257925, 19x13575 (Table 7). +-------------------------------+ (28) The sum of sura numbers from Table 8: The Suras and Verses Sura 1 to Sura 36 is 666 (Table 7). from the First "Rashada" to 36:3

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 = Table 9: The Suras and Verses 19x66. from the Beginning to 5:19 +--------------------------------+ (33) The sum of the sura numbers | Sura No.of | and the number of verses from the | No. Verses Total | beginning of the Quran to this |------ ------- ------- | verse (5:19) is 703, 19x37.

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 = 19×70.
+----------------------------------------------------------------+ | 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, Table 10: The Suras and Verses plus the number of verses in each from 1:1 to 44:13 sura, from the 1:1 to 44:13, the +------------------------------+ total comes to 5415, 19x19x15 | Sura No.of | (Table 10). | No. Verses Total | +------ ------- ------ | (37) The sum of the sura number | 1 7 8 | (44) plus the number of the | 2 286 288 | verse where the messenger is | 3 200 203 | predicted (13) equals 57, 19x3. | 4 176 180 | See Table 10. | 5 120 125 | | - - - | END OF THE WORLD | 9 127 136 | | - - - | (38) God is the only Knower of the | 41 54 95 | future; He knows exactly when this | 42 53 95 | world will end (7:187, 31:34, 33:63,| 43 89 132 | 41:47, 43:85). We learn from the | 44 13 57 | Quran that God reveals certain |------ ------ ----- | aspects of the future to His chosen |990 4425 5415 | messengers. In Appendix 25, evidence| (19x19x15)| 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 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 = 19×71.
(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
Table 11: Gematrical Value of
the Chosen Messenger in 72:27.
+—————————-+
| Letter Gematrical Value|
|——– —————-| The Quran provides straightforward
| A 1 | criteria to distinguish the true
| L 30 | messengers of God from the false
| A 1 | messengers:
| M 40 |
| N 50 | [1] God’s messenger advocates the
| A 1 | worship of God ALONE, and the abolition
| R 200 | of all forms of idol worship.
| T 400 |
| D 800 | [2] God’s messenger never asks for a
| Y 10 | wage for himself.
| M 40 |
| N 50 | [3] God’s messenger is given divine,
| R 200 | incontrovertible proof of his
| S 60 | messengership.
| W 6 |
| L 30 | Anyone who claims to be God’s
| ——- | messenger, and does not meet the three
| 1919 | 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 the slightest hesitation, the teachings delivered to us through God’s
messengers.
The following is a list of the principal duties of God’s Messenger of the Covenant:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | 1. Unveil and proclaim the Quran's mathematical miracle | | (Appendix 1). | | 2. Expose and remove the two false verses 9:128-129 from the Quran | | (Appendix 24). | | 3. Explain the purpose of our lives; why we are here (Appendix 7). | | 4. Proclaim one religion for all the people, and point out and | | purge away all the corruptions afflicting Judaism, Christianity,| | and Islam (Appendices 13, 15, 19). | | 5. Proclaim that Zakat (obligatory charity) is a prerequisite for | | redemption (7:156), and explain the correct method of observing | | Zakat (Appendix 15). | | 6. Unveil the end of the world (Appendix 25). | | 7. Proclaim that those who die before the age of 40 go to Heaven | | (Appendix 32). | | 8. Explain Jesus' death (Appendix 22). | | 9. Explain the Quran's delivery to, then through Muhammad | | (Appendix 28). | | 10. Announce that Muhammad wrote God's revelations (the Quran) with| | his own hand (Appendix 28). | | 11. Explain why most believers in God do not make it to Heaven | | (Appendix 27). | | 12. Proclaim that God never ordered Abraham to kill his son | | (Appendix 9). | | 13. Proclaim the secret of perfect happiness (Introduction, xx). | | 14. Establish a criminal justice system (Appendix 37). | +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
