Introduction
It took a lot of courage to write this book, and it may even take a lot more courage for you the reader to read it. However, as the kind of reader that had the courage to acquire the book one way or another you have to promise me and yourself; if you START reading that you must FINISH it. Just like starting a meal when you were really not hungry, and then throw away the meal without finishing it, you have to finish it (or you would commit a sin). Just like creating the meal this book took a lot of research and a lot of sweat, blood and tears, and you would do me a great honor if you would go all the way instead of stopping to read it because of being scared of the revelations in it as heredities to religion and a danger to society. Indeed, the theories in this book do not fit in the mosaic of both traditional believes and mindsets, or in the mindsets of sects and official religions, nor in the agnostic and atheist world of scientists. In my opinion their convictions are so brick-wise and feebly constructed in a totally materialistic plain instead of a spiritual one, firmly cemented down by pagan and institutionally organized religious bodies, that their modern Tower of Babel not even close to reaching the divine and heavenly realms, that someone has to tear it down, before God will do so (again). Also I want to inform you that the theories in this book are coming from a person who is very religious indeed and very serious in his desire to be in ISLAM (meaning to bow to the will of Allah), after a practicing and studying all of the major religions, being Catholicism and several forms of Christianity, Hinduism and Buddhism and ending with becoming Muslim (Muallaf). In the end I profoundly believe in the ground rule and foundation of this religion (the Syahadat that you will pronounce when you enter this religion) that states that there is only One God and that His Name (at least for the Arab tribe) is Allah (Ashaduallah illa ha illallah). As many muslims know very well it also says in the Holy Quran that God has more than one name (it states 99 names as a matter of fact) and that led me to believe that the other religions I have participated in all have the same God and same stories and same believe, they simply call His other Names, and bow to the will of God in a different way. What we bow for though is the same God and He created the same rules in all those believes, that have only one purpose and that is to have faith in the heavenly Hereafter, where we can all enter in piece, as long as we walk the straight path, established to the same simple rules, that most of us already heard (at least once in our live). However, it is also clear in all those religions that mankind always falters in doing so. Paganism (the forming of idolatry (matter) as well as the elevation of better men in the form of Holy Father or the Son of God (being men in the form of priests and other kinds of leaders of religious institutes, religiously thriving politicians and rules of the world, as well as psychologists, psychiatrists and scientist in other bodies of material science such as theology, theosophy, astrology, archeology and so forth) are nothing more then what the Quran calls partners and rivals of God. And you better be warned that all the Holy Scriptures say that that will not do, and that God WILL do away with them one day

So when it comes to this book, the embodiment of abovementioned kinds of pagans (90% of mankinds KAFIR kind says the Quran) will want to probably immediately banish this book and its theories to the Index of Books that are better of never mentioned again (or worse destroyed, along with the writer) as being sacrilegious and dangerous for society. I feel that the only danger it institutes is the message that the world will perhaps one day be one in one religion, and abolish the tools of the Evil One all together (starting with his strongest one: money), and I do not care for or about them very much either actually. The C.E.O.s, General Managers and other employees of the great PT. GOD Incorporated are all so very based on worldly matter (greed and money and all the other tools in the arsenal of the Evil One), but it certainly didnt stop Rosulallah, Mohammad SAW and the other messengers before him:
AL ANAM: [VI_10]: Mocked were (many) messengers before thee, but their scoffers were hemmed in by the thing they mocked. Travel through the earth and see what the end of those was who rejected Truth. Ask: To whom belongeth all that is in the heavens and on earth? Answer: to Allah! He hath inscribed for Himself (the rule of) Mercy.

And when, in my eager to even have only 1% of the wisdom and patience of Rosulallah, Nabbi Mohammad SAWQ, I start feeling that theres no one who understands (me) and even praying doesnt stop me from loosing patience and emotions start rising theres always the Al Quran to read from, and it tells me that Im not the only man of faith that suffered (and suffers in this time) with that. And even if I cant compare myself with the men of faith of that glorious past, I have to admit that the Quran always comforts me, brings back the patience and perseverance and like brings me back to my path. And thats where the Quran was made for isnt it?
Thenceforth were your hearts hardened: they became like a rock and even worse in hardness. For among rocks there are some from which rivers gush forth; others there are which when split asunder send forth water; and others which sink for fear of God. And God is not unmindful of what ye do! Can ye (O ye men of Faith) entertain the hope that they will believe in you? Seeing that a party of them heard the Word of God, and perverted it knowingly after they understood it? Behold! When they meet men of Faith, they say: "we believe": but when they meet each other in private, they say: "Shall you tell them what God hath revealed to you, that they may engage you In argument about it before your Lord? Do ye not understand (their aim)? Know they not that God knoweth what they conceal and what they reveal? And there are among them illiterates, who know not the Book, but (see therein their own) desires, and they do nothing but conjecture. Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say: "This is from God," to traffic with it for a miserable price! Woe to them for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby. And they say: "The Fire shall not touch us but for a few numbered days:" Say: "Have ye taken a promise from God, for He never breaks His promise? Or is it that ye say of God what ye do not know?" Nay, those who seek gain in Evil, and are girt round by their sins, they are Companions of the Fire: therein shall they abide (for ever). But those who have faith and work righteousness, they are Companions of the Garden: therein shall they abide for ever).

Nevertheless, one thing is certain. There is something very consistent about our religious past and the Holy Scriptures of that past. A past that stretches over 10.000 years but still have the same stories with the same advice and guidance. Basically even the same persons that only have (slightly) different names and different backgrounds, and different geographical locations, even when the stories all depict the same nature surroundings and countryside elements (sea, mountains, gardens, trees with lovely fruit etc.). And in that surrounding they all start with the creation of mankind on earth, Nabbi Adam SA in the Garden of Eden, although the name of God (indeed as the Quran and others also say, He has the most beautiful names in the world, and some even count the amount of names to be 99 pieces) as well as the name from the first father of mankind sometimes differs. With one exception though, the name almost always means (first) man or first of mankind. In total (but whos counting ya?) theres a massive amount of 250 Holy Scriptures in my library (to start with) with constitutes an average of some 500,000 pages, that all describe the abovementioned. Many of the Holy Scriptures have been destroyed on numerous occasions, so that number may well be 4 or 5 times higher. It is said, and I have to agree with it, that the Quran consist of the majority of those Scriptures, and not only the Talmus and its successor the Bible, in a repetitive and compilation kind of way. And again, also the Quran shares that message. In the beginning with the Arab tribes and since Nabbi Mohammad for all the whole world to discover, because it is said that Mohammad is the first (and the last) Global Messenger from Allah, the Rosulallah. All these religions offer help and salvation to mankind, from the start of mankind, with the creation of the first man, the one called Adam (and his offspring, one of them being the Jepathic tribes, father of the Arab tribes), all the way to the present day. The knowledge that was spread in the uncountable amount of pages of the total of Holy Scriptures in those 10.000 years - even if most of those Holy Books did eventually result in paganism) include the same names, same events, same future and same advise and conclusions. Astonishingly they also include vivid descriptions from disasters and destruction of whole civilizations! Numerous civilizations, same even more evolved then our own (as it says it the Quran) , were destroyed for their transgressions. That knowledge, hidden in libraries of secret societies is no longer in the age of secrets and with aid of computers (knowledge bases and algorithmic queries) and the huge world library of the internet can really only result in one conclusion: Ashaduallah illa hailallah, there has always been, there is and there will always be but One God, and (for the Arab tribes that name is) Allah. Although already a very old concept, the new meaning of this conclusion leads to a revolutionary assertion. It shatters the base on which the mental edifice of the combined religious institutes that seemed so perfect is constructed. With this book it is my aim to try to provide the proof of that assertion. I hope it will be a convincing one for you, and that one day we may meet and sit together in praise of God, whatever you like to call Him. Amin.

Chapter 1 - Al Quran the Seal of Kitabs

I believe after studying several sacred texts that the Al Quran is the ending or seal of all holy books, and a beginning of a Universal Message, combining all religions that were one to start with. As such you may consider it an brand new opening as well. It is a compilation of all the Covenants, Agreements and Explanations, as well as Scriptures and Inspirations given to mortals through several Kitabun (Holy Books) that is compiled in such a way that it is compact, easy to follow, and easy to understand. It covers a period of more then 10.000 years since the start of mankind through the creation of Nabbi Adam, which is the year 550 AD (meaning after the birth of Nabbi Isa Jesus Christ for the Christians among us or in other words the birth of the Global Messenger (Rosulallah) Mohammad SAW (may Allah bless his name). As such it seals the information thats spread over more then 250.000 pages in the combined Holy Scriptures and scientific reports (derived from both the Deluvian as well as the Antedeluvian world). The most famous being the Jewish Mutarab and Torah (Kitab Bani Israeli), the Christian Bible (kitab Nasrani) as well as a wide range of sacred texts from the descendants of the Garden of Eden population (spread over the world after the Great Deluge, escaped from by Nabbi Nuh, and our next father of mankind) such as the Hindoos (Weda), Buddhists (forgot that name), Celts (forgot that name), Wodans and others. At the same time, at least thats what I think, it can be seen as an opening for a new kind of believers, as it is made of short stories with not to many texts with one very clear message, written in the language of the Arab people, for the people of the Arab tribes to read, understand and study. Since there have been translations in all European languages since as far as the 16th Century, the Al Quran is truly the start of global religion for everyone in the world! One has to open this seal like one would open the top of a bottle of water. The seal is compact and colorful, but the details are really in the liter of water thats inside the bottle that can only be accessed after opening the seal As such the Al Quran mentions briefly, without details, and very understandable what promises have been made to the people of Israel and Arab (the covenants), as well as the Rules & Regulations for the believer. So short that in my opinion the Al Quran doesnt even try to explain why we must believe in Allah, and do exactly as He says. The Al Quran also shows clearly through a range of disasters and deluges that many civilizations didnt listen and didnt obey, and were literally blown of the face of the earth because of it. First of them the Bani IsraelI (the Jewish tribe, rescued from Egypt, and then after 40 years in the end being refused to enter the Promised Land because they kept transgressing, and in the found so displeased with God, that he cursed them with illness and basic discomfort, spreading them around, and moving His focus to another, more reliable, tribe; the Arabs. This Al Auran therefore tells us what to do. And not to think about it! A sane set of rules if we realize that mankind never listened to God and because of the fact that only a very small percentage is made to truly understand the symbolism in the Al Quran and to busy (or not interested) to want to understand the Why of it. As it states in the Al Quran only a very small part has the spiritual capability will become Mumin (True Believers). They suffer the groaning and misunderstandings of another part of mankind called Kafir (Unbelievers) and the biggest part of mankind called the Hypocrites (Munafiq). Later we shall understand a bit more about these three classes of mankind. In retrospect it is a sane and sound conclusion to address mankind in a disciplinary fashion and to order them to fear Allah, to strive for joining the hereafter (Paradise) and fear Hell where all wicked persons go as well as to fear

the Day of Judgment from where there is no escape from ever. Instead of giving the subjects explanations, and a choice, that will lead to transgressions (like the Bani Israeli and the subsequent destructions of so many civilizations before us, some of them far more advanced then ours. As an example; it stands to reason to tell a group of silly people to fear Jail and stop stealing (or commit murder). The point to make is simply that if you steal you WILL go to jail, and when you kill we WILL take your life. Its as simple as that. Asking the Supreme Judge and Ruler why this is the case would result in the answer: because we say so! and discipline and order would be established. Nevertheless in the Al Quran there is also mentioning of a certain group of Men of Understanding. Because a broader level of explanation leading to understanding the Why?of the matter is available, so it says. The way to it is through prayer, meditation and sincere study of the holy texts (not cartoon reading). If necessary far more detailed information and history leading to these conclusions is available in other holy books, preceding the Al Quran. As such the Al Quran remains in my heart the book of Rules and Regulations that by repetition shows that many civilizations before us were already punished (if not destructed completely, not to return ever again) in all kinds of different ways, due to transgression such as idolatry (paganism) and bad behavior. Personally I dare say that a more broad level of understanding is indeed preferable, and my feeling is that becoming a man of understanding is the logical choice, but it does require the study of the details of the history of ISLAM (which by the stands for bowing to the will of Allah) and the muslim people as the chosen tribe. BUT!! As is clearly stated in the Al Quran to study the scientific part of this religion is not enough. Most information will come from the inspiration of Allah himself (thats the way it is literally described in the Al Quran). To put it in simple words; one must open ones heart (or ones mind) to the universal message truth in the religion of ISLAM and the Muslim people that believe (the Mumin) in order to become a person of True Faith (lazina iman). About how to do this the Al Quran says that first of all we must pray (5 times per day, on regular fixed times), and we have to be patient, persevere and to believe in Allah as the supreme power (judge, scientist, source of knowledge and creation). Further, so we are told, we must believe in the contents of the Al Quran (being 100% correct and free of doubt), and believe in the Afterlife (meaning the presence of Paradise as well as Hell and the Day of Judgment as a last resort and testing ground). Last but not least the importance of money is proven irrelevant, since God did already provide us through nature with all the sustenance we require (without even tending to them) and therefore if we receive money we should share both money from salary (zakat) as well as other kinds of profits in terms of money as well as knowledge and other benefits (amal) in a not caring (ikhlas) way. And there are certainly more rules, but I find these to be the prime ones, and these are actually mentioned in the first Convenant, made to Nabbi Adam, the father of mankind, and such form the basis of other Convenants and Additions or Supplements (in the Ibrahim Convenants and lastly in the Musa Convenants, followed by several editions and finally the Convenants of Nabbi Isa). I have to admit that praying and meditating on such a regular and disciplined way changes ones life. If we truly believe in the Voice of Allah as it says in the Al Quran, or in other terms receiving inspiration from Allah, and we do pray and meditate as described ones life can change dramatically, at least mine did. I feel that it is a

combination of having Faith (in terms of really believing that you are guided by God) and starting to see with a set of different eyes and ears. As the Quran states, from a heart that had a seal on it, and eyes and ears that were covered with a veil now comes the Voice of Allah and inspiration of Allah as answers and a guide on your lifes path. And it start there. It certainly doesnt stop there, I promise you that! It makes you believe in the progression of this, which is called in the Al Quran becoming a man if understanding. Your mind does start to see things in a different perspective. Patience for instance is no longer a thriving. It becomes so natural that one starts wondering how we could have so impatient to start with. Its a rather personal experience, and makes your friend (almost all of them) and family think youve lost it a bit (gone mad), so also there is a point where you should rather not talk about it. Just keep it inside, and grow is the message from the Al Quran. Nevertheless, is this third level of Mumin to truly faithful and become in control of your ESP faculties, as I see it it is admirable to take the knowledge and understanding to your friends. This is also a form of Amal, and admirable. It looks that messengers (or in a lack of better words brothers in ISLAM, reminders of the faith, rules and regulations, or warners even (in some cases when you feel disaster may strike, as is frequently described in the Holy Quran). It starts with studying and reading for others what the Quran calls the Signs of Allah in case certain materialistic behavior strays your friends of the path, what eventually leads to the wrong side of things. It is preferable to live a life of spiritual behavior above a worldly materialistic one. To make your prayers your work as it were, and live from that what Allah has to offer in a natural way, the way it was intended. Not to create work (and rivals, in the form of businesses that have the sole intention of gathering wealth. This could be perceived as praising the Evil One (or his his most powerful tool: money) as a false God. Another example is in the case of joining certain religions institutes that rival with faith in Allah, out of the spiritual realm in the materialistic one, because indeed all these religions are funded by the income of selling their blessings and religion. We will see about this in later chapters and examples, but I am convinced personally that indeed the ruler of this materialistic world is Syaton (Iblis, Lucifer or Satan, which ever name you want to give him), the master of concealing the truth and ruling the world from the rim of a dollar coin In god we trust as it says on the coin in question Had any McDonalds or Coca Cola lately? We have 24 very well known messengers in ISLAM, and I dare say hundreds of unknown messengers. All human beings, and men of understanding. They warned mankind time on time again of upcoming disasters and punishments, where mankind kept raising their hands, and kept going in the material realm, instead of the spiritual one. The big difference, and a stronger warning arrived with the birth of the first Universal Messenger, being Mohammad SAW, the first Messenger from God that was meant to spread the messages on a global scale, instead only for the Arab tribes (Rosulallah, Allah praise his name). His first act, commanded by Allah, was to create Syahadat: Ashadu Allah illaha ill Allah, wa ashadu ana Mohammad ar rosulallah (As you will see I sometimes write things a bit different, for the western reader, to make sure that we all understand the words as they would be written in a western style language).

There is only one God, and His name is Allah (there was only one, there is only one, and there will always be only one), and I, Mohammad, am a messenger of Allah. This is not the way all the Muslims see the words, and this is certainly not the way all ISLAM teachers translate it. The word illa in Arab means only and as you can see there is no mentioning of illa in the second sentence, meaning (first of all) that Mohammad is not the only messenger that ever lived. As is the case with all messengers that have spoken the word of Allah (or the other 98 names that Allah has) and have bowed to the will of God (at least 24 cases of known messengers) he was a human being, and did not wish or require worship or idolization. This is a very important thing. Only Allah should be prayed to, and asked for advice, in these times. When Rosulallah was still alive, we could ask question to this mortal man of understanding, we might even say this man that had the complete message from Allah, in a way so perfect, that he is indeed the perfect messenger, but he was still a man, warning us about the choice we all have to make. Telling us that Allah wants us to choose the walk the path of the righteous, and be interested in spiritual life, not material. As such the message that Mohammad was only a messenger, although a very enlightened one and made of flesh and bones, is the most important one to start with. So Mohammad would not again, like Jesus before him (by the Christians) or Nabbi Isa as hes called by the Arab tribe made in the Son of God or perhaps better put as a Partner of God. This was exactly where so many tribes went wrong. And the messengers have constantly reminded us of that; no partners for God, no Son from God, but God, and God alone. Ashaduallah illaha il Allah. Amin. As such, to make it even cleared, Mohammad was born from rather low ranks of mankind. His father died when he was only 7 months old, and they were very poor. As such he only learned how to read and write after the majestic age of 40, when he was already made to Rosulallah by God. And theres more to say about his birth and life in material poverty. What the best example to show that only he got the perfect image of God, what to do to reach immortality and perfect knowledge and adorned with the admiration of millions of people. But, he was a simple and mortal man, until the end. With the Syahadat muslims enter the world of ISLAM. With that indeed they become ISLAM and bow to the will of God. Only one God, and a messenger that clearly states that the simplicity in ISLAM is also the power and exhaulted intelligence. With that done, we may now open the Al Quran, and find the first prayer, the AL FATIQAH, the opening, that again states a simple list of rules to open ISLAM even further for you. This beautiful prayer that opens the Al Quran, starts teaching you the first basic rules, and serves as the opening of your shalat (your daily prayers) as well as the basis for meditative and mass prayers (tahajut, tahlil and syukuran).
For those falling in love with the most perfect religion in the world, and for those that will decide to become Muslim (Muallaf, meaning not being born into ISLAM, but taking the decision to revert to become believer out of free will and bow to the will of Allah) I will add pages to this book to learn the basics on becoming a Mumin (believer). I can tell you that Allah is most kind and merciful towards all his hamba (followers) but has a very soft spot especially for Muallaf believers, since freedom of choice is indeed one of the earliest and purest of all sacred rules in ISLAM, making to choose for access to the Afterlifes Paradise, if you do well and do not turn into a hypocrite. Muallaf in Arab stands for someone who needs or deserves a little bit more attention and kind and understanding hugs, by the way

Chapter 2 - Surah One AL FATIHAH The Opening

AYYAT 1:

Bismillahir rahmanir rahim In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

To start this quest of knowledge, it is clear that in ISLAM we are allowed to call God by His Name (or rather one of the 99 names that He carries); His name that the Arab Tribe uses as His Name is Allah. So we start this quest first of all in the name of Allah. For the times when the Quran was written this makes a very clear point. It is real! No need for doubt. To start with that name is almost as strong as making an oath (it is something valuable to give in a statement, with this it can NOT be broken without losing name (face) and it becomes official. In modern times this is not really different of course. A contract would never be official is there wasnt a name and an identity-card attached to it, carrying an autograph on the contract that is similar with the one on the identity card. Rahman: Most Gracious. Rah could be translated as essence. Indeed Allah is the essence, the utmost and most pure of Graciousness. He is indeed the King of Kings, the Exalted One. Rahim: Most Merciful. The essence of Mercy. The mercy is giving a most honorable and desired target to reach for all of mankind; mercy for all suffering, to reach perfection in a perfect environment; Heaven. Alhamdulillah rabbil alamin Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds

AYYAT 2:

The first rule is to praise Allah, as well as fear Him. When you repeat this in your prayers five times per day, it becomes an established fact in your behavior (islam: akhlak). It is important for our mind-set that we praise Him, as the Only God in our lives, and only source of wisdom and believe. The other part of the sentence is clear. Universal. The Stars. The ultimate in our mind, and clearly stating the greatness of Allahs power and knowledge or in others words a vast intelligence). In fact, as we say; the sky is the limit. And to Allahs knowledge there is no limit. Allahuakhbar Allah is Great! Cherisher means to hold dear and protect and that shows the love of Allah love for his creation, all living and thriving entities. And therefore it states at the same time that He is the One (and) Creator of World. And as Sustainer it should be clear Allah didnt just create it, but is maintaining it (still) on a daily basis. This world would fall apart without Allah controlling it, in all things, big and small. I personally have no doubts about that. Thats what praying does as a matter of fact. You can feel this truth as an not to be doubted truth when your mind (or heart) starts opening, when it starts becoming faithful. Lets be honest, no scientist in the whole wide world can REALLY explain why a tree starts to grow from a seed. Or even why a child is created the moment the mothers womb accepts the sperm and encapsulates it inside. And in the end a sentient child is formed there, that will open his mouth and scream the moment it starts breathing. Allahuakhbar! No, it is a fact that the material world of science in biology, chemistry or physics can explain the chemical processes of life but not the creation of life or the will to live, this science belongs to the spiritual world only. This is where the faith starts for me. And the feeling. This is where the spirit of God makes sense to me, and without it there is no being of anything at all. And this is where it seems the man of understanding take the first leap of faith. When you start feeling that without Allah theres no life. Only Allah

says BE and it is. And at the same time this knowledge is something that exists outside matter or the material realms. A body can be touched but life itself can not. It is unseen, like love and understanding. And when we read more about the creation of life (later on) perhaps we can understand better that the creation did not start with the creation of the lump of rock material in space that is now called Earth. It started when the matter of the earth was joined with water (becoming clay) that is ready for life (like the womb of the mother) after joining with the breath (or spirit) of Allah. When in scientific terms the matter is joined or blessed with sentience and intelligence. I think, so I am. AYYAT 3: Ar rahmanir rahim Most Gracious, Most Merciful

In my opinion this is not a repetition. This is where the rules come in. Also in the creation of rules and regulations He is indeed Most Gracious and most Merciful. The judge, lawyer and prosecutor. But gracious and fair. Especially when it comes to the next Ayyat which deals with the Day of Judgment (Khiamat in ISLAM or Armageddon as its called in another tribes religion were He is called under the name Elohai or Elohe). Maliki yaumid din Master of the Day of Judgment

AYYAT 4:

As I said, prime judge. But as said, gracious and merciful. Nevertheless the message should be clear at this point. No one shall decide (or even know) when this day will come, or what its outcome will be. As the master of judgment day only He knows when and how that day will be and He will decide for all the souls on trial that day. Fear this Day where thou shallst be judged on the decisions you made in your live(s) on earth. Because your very existence is at stake. You can be rewarded with an endless existence beneath (or beside) the throne of God, satisfying as much as satisfaction has to offer, but you must walk the righteous path Iyyaka nabudu wa iyyaka nastain Thee do we worship, and Thine aid we seek Ihdinas siratal mustaqim Show us the straight way

AYYAT 5: AYYAT 6:

I would say this is a very confusing issue for certain brothers and sisters, difficult to understand how we do this, and even more difficult to implement for certain members of mankind. If God is a spirit, a vast intelligence, existing outside the physical realms, with not mouth, ears or eyes (existing of matter so to speak) then how do we ask for His help? It is a topic that we will follow up on later, but at this moment we can only draw the conclusion that it must be possible to ask Him for help and have his guidance (some or other way) otherwise God will not tell us in His Holy Scriptures that its possible. When you can believe that though you are already on the way of opening the pathway to understanding. And remember that you must not block faith or the believing and accepting in that Allah is real and the only path way to everlasting happiness (the straight way). If you block this by saying the wrong words (in your prayers or in daily worldly life) then you are not opened and nothing is possible anymore. You must believe first by saying to yourself loud and clear, in prayer as well as in daily life to friends and foe.

Its also the universal message from God that is constantly misunderstood by mankind. It led to the many disasters and deluges that God sprung upon mankind, because we strayed from the path of Righteousness. Most people (90%) simply cant just have faith (arab: Iman) without seeing material (physical) proof. We therefore need statues, or Sons of God that will tell us in our language meant for our physical ears that it is so, or miracles performed by men for our physical eyes to believe. The answer remains clear and unstoppable though if you believe in it, Allah can (and will) show us the straight way directly in our prayers, meditations and dreams IF you allow it (believe in it). And there is the concept of materialization or visualization if you wish. This means that if we believe that it is Allah that we worship (Him and only Him), and that it is HIS AID (only) that we seek (in our prayers and meditations) then HE WILL SHOW us directly what the straight way means, and where we can find it. As such this is an order or instruction of you wish, and this needs to be done to make progress in your level of understanding. And I want to inform you also at this point of the quest that it is my (very strong opinion) that it is wrong and rather the opposite way of the straight path to believe that only certain people, very special son of man, have skills that will allow that kind of behavior. To give in to that strategy, to make them an elected and elevated people to give advice to others (and need to get paid for that) is in my opinion exactly where God warns us for. There are no material partners of God, Sons of God or statues that are worthy praying to (asking advice to). I think, after studying many holy books where this topic comes back, again and again, that the only way to do this seeking advice that is is by praying. Praying (or meditation) is the only link to the spiritual world, that is well-known already for many centuries, and for sure if you open your heart (or you mind) you can feel that that is a universal truth as well. Searcheth and thou shallst find as they say. Since Allah is not mortal, not material, the only answer is that a spiritual connection will give us an answer, not a material one (or a mortal one). That you feel you can not do this (I dont believe in that nonsense, that is for fools) is just an instruction that you give (in many cases by saying it over and over again, to yourself, and to others) and that changes your powers to the point where you believe you cannot. I promise you, with my hand on my heart, that when you start doing this, you will see the results. And these results will greatly change your life. I promise you that. Call his name! As we do in the prayers of the shalat at five times per day in ISLAM. In the end you will understand too! And not need anyone to do this for you. Especially someone that wants to be paid for it. Allahs knowledge is priceless (has not price means free, but also that no price can be asked for it, because any price asked for it is actually to cheap!!). All you must do is do! Say BE and it is. On the other hand its so easy. If we do worship Him, and acknowledge with that His existence, that He will connect and give the answer. Allah is allknowing. All powerful. You do not need to ask the questions in your prayers, He will already know before you. And He will answer, in whatever way He pleases. The point is to be patient and let it unfold in front of your (material) eyes, it will happen. How you say? You will see or should I say you will hear. Or both actually Siratal lazina anamta alaihim gairil magdubi alaihim wa lad The way on whom Thou has bestowed Thy Grace, those whose is not wrath and who go not astray.

AYYAT 7: dalin

The way of the Lazina I would say that this is the man of understanding, and is used very frequently in the Al Quran, although translated in many different ways in the English translations of my Quran. The 24 Nabbis and other unknown messengers, warners, reminders, callers and other lazina understand the message from Allah and tried (and will try in the future, because this is a entity in mankind that is still be born every day in my opinion) many times to convince Mumins (that strayed), Munafiqs and Kafirs of their error in ways. Indeed they take the rules literally, and do not go astray from the path of Righteousness, do not hate, they pray constantly (as the only way to keep understanding), they are patient, persevere and have the utmost faith (iman) in Allah and His rules. The only way, the straight way, that leads to Paradise (heaven). Again, theres more then these Rules only, theres the Regulations (e.g. amal, zakat andsoforth) that will give Rizqa (rezeki, or material aid) and more, but the utmost of pure Akhlat (decent behavior and righteousness) is made of these fundamental rules in the last ayyat of the opening: Al Fatihah, the rules of ISLAM, or bowing to the will of Allah. Especially wrath is an emotion, probably the result of anger and/or pain caused by others, and as a result the need to give back (pay-back) that what others caused. Emotions and especially quick emotions, a lack of patience and perseverance are the tools of the Evil One. Another such form is Fitnah, or talking bad about people to hurt them (back). These ways is certainly not the way to heaven, they form bad Akhlak. Indeed it sounds to me (and it feels in my heart like that) that that kind of behavior is a despicable one. It does not lead to spiritual strength, but leads to material punishment, and may even be derived from the most powerful tool in the Evil Ones arsenal; money. The most popular and most Gracious and Merciful nabbis (in the Bible the messiah Jesus Christ, and in the Al Quran Nabbi Isa, as well as the Rosulallah, Mohammad SAW repeatedly claimed that it would be better to give the left cheek to someone who slaps your right cheek, then to slap back. Again in my heart I feel that that is the right way, in contrary to the eye-for-an-eye tactics of other (more savage) races and cultures. Dont you feel this in your heart too? And that last point at least tome is proof of regular prayer and with such the creation of an open mind. Those feelings do not arrive in your mind just like that; they are the result of divine inspiration and the direct result of praying, five times per day, on time, as ordered. Again, this can not be proven by me or any other friends and reminders. It has to be done by yourself, and only because you want to, not because you are forced to do so. The messenger, even the great Rosulallah (or Jesus Christ for our Christian friends) give us the best example of all times. Rosulallah was known for his endless prayers, sometimes more then 24 hours, and up to point where his feet started swelling and bleeding. Up to the point where one of his wives fell asleep, exhausted, and when she woke up Rosulallah was still praying! Again, in the end of this book, in I you can find easy first steps to ISLAM prayer. It is quite easy, and in the beginning you can simply keep the book in front of you, and read it aloud. Although the Latin alliteration of the Arab is preferred (or even learning the language of ISLAM from the Al Quran subhakhanallah!), you may also read the prayers in English or another language, the language of your tribe. The main thing is to speak out loud but not too loud the right message, so it may serve as the interface to your brain (the processor of our spiritual pathway so to say) and therefore the creation of faith and believe, where as a result your mind will open up and Allah can give you inspiration

to the questions you may have as a person. This means of course you have to understand what you say. The Al Quran is not meant as a magic language and a collection of magic spells and words (like the words of the spells of Harry Potter and friends that is actually exactly the opposite way of doing it). Try it the right way. Wont cost you anything, and hardly any time. To not even try is simply not an option. The investment is small (a bit of time) and the outcome will change your live. I promise (again).

Chapter 3 Surah Two AL BAQARAH The Heifer

This is the first real chapter of the Al Quran in my opinion. Its SURAH-2, and has a total of 286 Ayyat (verses). And although it is not my intention to go and translate and add comments to all the chapters of the Al Quran (at least not in this book), this chapter is different from the others that will follow, and it has some very special messages. From my point of view, I fell in love with the shortness and directness of the Al Quran first of all because of the opening (Al FATIHAH) and AL BAQARAH. Because of containing a lot of symbolism though, it is easy to misunderstand AL BAQARAH. It is one of the chapters that should be read by translating the symbols into good and understandable language and communication, in other words to read in a contextual way and not just as text data (textual reading). Context however, is personal of course. And you may want to translate it another way. Nevertheless, I feel that most of me would agree that most of it is described in a very symbolic way, and again stretches out the message that theres a lot of spiritual thinking, and not much of reasoning for the material realms of the message from in the Al Quran in this chapter (and others). To come back to the analogy of the Seal in the beginning of these texts, one has to open the seal to come to details of the story (the contents of the bottle so to speak). The truth of the matter is that the very, very short stories have more then a million pages of other sacred texts behind them to back up the symbolism. Nevertheless I keep on coming back to this Surah after the quests in other sacred texts. It is so simple and straightforward, that is does fill my heart with joy, calm and respect. As such in the end I endeavor and strive to become a man of understanding and help to spread the message to others. And not only money is supposed to be shared actually. It is also a most satisfying thing to share knowledge and hope (and faith). Not because it makes you feel better or higher up the ladder (arrogance) and to please your ego, but simply the smile on someones face if understanding does break through, and happiness is shown. Basically the same when you give zakat (money) to a hungry fellow on the corner, the feelings of gratitude (whether it is getting rid of the material hunger in some fellow hambas belly or some friends mind) shines on you, and makes you stronger in faith and gratitude to the Lords of Lords, the Creator, Sustainer and Cherishes of the Worlds, Allah SWT. It helps yourself to be even more faithfull and grateful. Its funny really. Even if the truth of the story is that most of them mock you, laugh at you, or simply think you are crazy or worse arrogant. Remind them that you are a simply human being, just as anyone else, but that you feel that theres more then matter without soul in every days life. And that anyone can hear the voice of God or even easier see the Signs in the holy books. Signs of Allahs creations, like the birds in the sky, and the mountains that reach high up the heavens or the Sun with its great power of life, even power in science. For it is true that some life-force is making it tick right?

Also you will find that the Quran is full of support from other messengers, ready answer from Rosulallah, used in the past to his friends and fellow men are just as powerful now as they were then. We will give you a good list of those as examples, and you can get a free Al Quran from the FUNIX organization (later more about that) if you wish to become a mumin yourself. Last, but not least, it says many times in the Quran that the majority of mankind (90% it is stated) is in a state of denial and on the wrong path. And we shouldnt be sad about that, or even feel responsible. As it says in the Quran, God has put a veil on their eyes and ears, so they cant feel anymore at all. They are Kafir, and can not be saved. But we can try As long as it doesnt hurt us, and we stay strong in our belief, theres nothing more honorable then that, and it also helps our own souls to claim a place, below Allahs throne, in paradise, where the Gardens are full and plenty, rivers flow beneath the gardens, giving life to all fruits possible growing in the earth and substance has no more meaning. Sounds good doesnt it?
As we can read later the Gardens mentioned as heaven above are a symbolic description of a land that once used to be, the land where Adam was created, and where mankind came from; the Garden of Eden. It is also the land (or island rather) where Nuh (or Noach in the Bible) escaped the Big Flood from, in his Ark, built upon the command of Allah, taking along with him a pair of each living creature on earth, as well as his wives, family, part of his children andsoforth. As such Nuh became the forefather from the Aryan tribe that would later become the Bani IsraelI, the Arabs, Greeks, Romans and many other cultures. This and much more you can read in the Chapter about the Garden of Eden. What more proof do you need to see that indeed the Al Quran is true, and can believed without any doubt, in spiritual as well as in scientific means. I will proof to you, without a trace of doubt, through the many other holy books and sacred texts that the ISLAM religion, branched from Judaism and Christianity is proven by science, and not just believe. Just keep on reading.

Why is the first chapter called the Heifer, and what does that mean? A Heifer is a cow, or a milk-cow in contrast to a work-cow (working the fields, dragging the plough) or the wild Buffalo of the American West of the past. It is the cultivated animal that provides milk for our offspring, cleans (grazes) the fields, provides warmth in the winter with their body temperature and last feeds the earth with its fertilizing waste-products or droppings. A holy creature in some cultures and I would say; rightfully so when we consider its blessings. Nevertheless the cow was also an object for worship by Pagans (musriki in the Al Quran, or idolaters, worshippers of material false gods. As an example Baal, the False God of the Assyrians, or Babylonians, once in a big fight with the believers that in the end destroyed a part of the great Babylonian records (the biggest library in the world), was depicted regularly with the head of a cow, and horns to show for it. We will later find out much more about the Horns of the Holy Cow, concerning the island where once the Garden of Eden was located, sufficed to say at this moment the Horns, the great T symbol, is a very serious symbol of idolatry. A story that comes to mind from the Al Quran (and even more detailed in the original full-story of the Exodus (exit) from the Bani Israeli on the route to the promised land guided by and freed from the Egyptians by the great Nabbi Musa) is the worshipping of the Golden Calf when Nabbi Musa went up the Mountain Sinai to receive the written Musaic Convenant from Allah (the first one written down, not verbally like in Nabbi Ibrahims case) as a written confirmation, and much added on Book of Law (the Jews call this in the end after many alterations as a constant transgressing tribe the Taurah, Book of Law) in ISLAM matters of conduct. When Nabbi Musa SA arrived back from the Mountain Sinai, he found the tribe worshipping a self-created Golden Calf, and Musa spat out in anger for such unbelief and disrespect!

I find therefore in the Heifer enough evidence that the chapter will first of all divide the three great groups of the tribe (Mumin, Kafir and Munafiq) as well as the proof of idolatry and Allahs anger and curse (deluges) that were the result of them. But the chapter rightfully also speaks about the creation of life and mankind (Adam) before talking about Musa. Lets have a look at the chapter and the first 30 ayyats, where Adam will be mentioned for the first time in the Al Quran. AL BAQARAH: Surah 2, Madaniyya, 286 ayyat in full. AYYAT 2: Zalikal kitabu la raiba fih, hudal lil muttaqin This is the Book; in it is guidance, sure, without doubt, to those who fear Allah

This is the last book, the seal. This is indeed the only material proof of God, and it will teach you how to live your life, if you study it and try to understand. This in my opinion also means you need to read it in your language (as well). It is NOT a holy book of spells and mantras, that has been done before and it didnt work. It will help reach give you wisdom and signs (history), to reach your destiny. It needs not to be doubted, may not be doubted, its all true, undeniably so. It is meant for those who fear Allah (the only criteria, because faith is the next step. First of all fear Allah, and obey Allah is really the smart thing to do, even if you do not wish to obtain wisdom, guidance or a righteous destiny. Then simply be scared in obedience. Allazina yuminuna bil gaibi wa yuqimunas salata wa mimma razaqnahum yunfiqum Who believe in the Unseen, are steadfast in prayer, and who spend out what We have provided for them

AYYAT 3:

After the second Ayyat, the material evidence of the existence of God, the third Ayyat really spells it out for you I think. How can you not see this truth that stares you right in the eye? The UNSEEN! All I have said in the beginning materializes right in that very word! It seems to me that people who believe in that what you can not see with the material eye, needs to be seen with the third eye, or in other words by using your EXTRA SENSORS, through ESP (Extra Sensory Perception. And for those that are capable of receiving the clear message without material proof, it can only be done by praying and meditating steadfast means every day, on the right times, and make it into a discipline. Obviously praying means using ESP. Hearing, seeing with your third eye means feeling really, in your heart. Indeed, there are definitely voices in our head. And with a little bit training you can differentiate at a certain point whether it is Allah or the Evil One talking to you. In my opinion Allah is the soft, gentle (gracious) voice and full of mercy (compassion and passion). The Evil One indulges in material pleasure, and is not patient at all, remember that. His voice is full beguile, and strong, almost shouting, convincing us that it is ok, blocking the voice of righteousness as to make us commit the sin. Its all about fun, feel good (material pleasure). But still, we cannot really call these voices sound. There is no (physical) sound, what scientifically means the displacement of sound waves in our mind. It is still better described as feeling the truth. And it simply can not be proved scientifically. But I feel we all know this process?

Cmon, lets be honest, when we are about to commit a sin, a small one or a large one, do we not all hear the voice telling us not to do this? And isnt that feeling blocked in many cases with the idea of the physical pleasure being worth it, and that well deal with it later, after we sinned? To spend out of what We have provided for them can be looked at from different angels, as usual. The difference of whats nowadays in the Muslim community called reading contextual or textual. It would be human to also accept the provision thats mentioned in a material (physical) way, and state that this is Rizqa (rezeki, material objects and money falling in our lap as a reward for good behavior. I think that this sentence however is all about the spiritual sense, and therefore should not rest at that simple explanation. When you believe in the Unseen (the invisible, spirit(ual) world of God, and use prayer and meditation to access it and retrieve answer (wisdom and knowledge) then that what you retrieve is what he provides for you, and then you can handle the information any way you like. Spend it, so to say, the way you see fit. In my opinion I spend this wisdom together with my friends and family. And spread the news and message. As said, this is Amal too. In the end you could conclude that this part of the sentence does speak about amal (sharing), whether it is you have receives and spends (and the message is amal to you) or that you spread the message (or even rezeki, meaning money) as amal to your friend and fellow mankind. Both sound like the way it should be to me, and indeed for the important rules of righteousness. Another issue of interest again is the mentioning of Allah as We. Just as the Queen would say We, the people when she talks about herself, it is meant her as Allah and His creations. Please note though that when the Quran speaks about Allah, it will say He, it is when God is sort of dictated that the We follows. As if God itself tells us that God is not singular? What does the We really mean though? We, the people of Earth? That feels wrong somehow. It is an interesting question that may have to go unsolved for the moment As a matter of fact we will learn later through many other prayers that God is indeed without gender (neither female nor male) as well as plural, not singular. You may start thinking about this doctrine in more detail though. What is it that is Unseen (invisible), consists of vast intelligence and storage of data (the records of time and space), controls and maintains the worlds (or the universe), has no sense of time, has no gender, and does not propagate? I leave you to ponder over this question for a while. Its hard (and just too shocking too at this time) to formulate an answer on that question for the moment. Wallazina yuminuna bima unzila ilaika wa ma unzila ming qablika wa bil akhirati hum yuqinun And who believe in the Revelations send to thee, and sent before thy time, and in their hearts have the assurance of the Hereafter, Ulaika ala hudam mir rabbihim wa ulaika humul muflihun They are on (true guidance) from their Lord, and it is those who will prosper

AYYAT 4:

AYYAT 5:

Believe in the Revelations! Alhamdulllah, I have read and am still reading the other revelations (the other holy books, convenants, sacred laws and agreements, sacred informational texts and others, as said before roughly over 1.000.000 pages of scientific, sacred as well as pagan texts) and I can say without any doubt it is all true, and need not be in doubt that the Quran combining date from the detailed Mutara, Injil, Taurah, Bible scrolls and James

King version speaks the truth without any doubt. I have to add that I used the latest technology in my arsenal (I am a programmer actually) to create knowledge bases (databases that can be queried in a broad way, and add new compilations/combinations to the knowledge so it grows. There is no doubt of the same locations, names, disasters and messengers that in different languages (coming from one root language) and different cultures all say the same thing; the Hereafter does exist, and it can be your destiny if you live the right way, the straight way. Although differently put, and with different ways to access the vast knowledge and intelligence that we call Allah (the spirit God), they all have the same outcome. Sent before thy time; indeed some of them are over 10.000 years old (before my time for sure) and they definitely resulted in believing in the Hereafter 100%. Thats where its all about folks, there is indeed a Hereafter!!! I think that is the best message ever for mankind, dont you? And same as before, in my heart theres always been the feeling that life can not be 70 or 80 years of material suffering, and then it just stops? I have these feelings (thoughts) in my heart since I was born. How about you? Dont you feel universal truths and clarity about simple universal issues as well? It can just not be that life on earth is all it is, and then silence? I am sure I am not alone in the 150% surety and security of profoundly believing in the Hereafter as it is mentioned in all major religions! And I am surely not alone in this! Let me use this Ayyat to utter another thing I profoundly believe in: all religions have only One and the Same God (ashaduallah illaha illallah)! Whether you are Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, (real) Christian or Jew, including other less major religions, the Hereafter is always mentioned. Apart from small difference in connected to God this universal message through all religions is clear, and should not be doubted. Why do some people doubt this any way? Is this not the one thing that keeps us going in the material hell we live in, on this Earth? The promise of ultimate bliss and happiness and living in the spiritual realm only, with no pain, hurt, physical desires and curses? All you have to do to eventually be sitting next to God is to join with Allah also here in this live. Follow the rules, but first of all pray (meditate) and feel the guidance He gives you, if you believe in it. One day you will know this to be true. Do you want to be in Paradise or in Hell knowing what truth really is, and what the answer on the universal question is: What is Life? To me life is meant to learn and to progress, until one moment you will emanate to a next level, a next realm, and that is what I call the Paradise. Until that point life on earth is a lesson you have to go (and grow) through, for many, many times if necessary, until you get it. And with that thought I feel that those are on true guidance from the Lord, and they will be the ones who prosper and outlive the material realm (Hell on Earth) in emanate to the next level, and sit next to God (and prosper), in the Unseen, spiritual emanation called Paradise in the holy books.

With the next ayyats we are continuing with the second group of mankind, the KAFIR (the Unbeliever). AYYAT 6: Innal lazina kafaru sawaun alaihim aan zartahum am lam tunzirhum la yu minum As to those that reject Faith, it is the same to them whether thou warn them or do not warn them; they will not believe

AYYAT 7:

Khatamallahu ala qulubhim wa ala samihim, wa ala absarahim gisyawatuw wa lahum azabun azim Allah hath set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing and on their eyes is a veil; great is the penalty they (incur)

This is clearly about the unbelievers that can not believe because they are so in the material (physical) world that no warning or message will come into them, because their hearts are closed. Again, faith means believing in the Unseen (and by guided by unseen advice as in prayers, dreams and other ways of hearing and seeing). As it says above they can simple not see like that. They can only see something in matter, or when something is materialized before their own eyes. As a matter of fact the Al Quran constantly speaks about messengers that get the request to materialize something in front of eyes of the unbelievers eyes to produce miracles in front of them. Then they will believe, the unbelievers say, all the time. So Allah has put a seal on their hearts and a veil on their eyes and ears. I have the idea that unbelievers are indeed better of with this seal, and the stopping of their ESP (Extra Sensory Preceptors). Unbelievers are very susceptible to money, and in their confusion they are a danger to themselves and mankind if they would use this (normal) skill of the believer, they would materialize with it, first of all money, but also other matters. If looks like following the Evil One when you do that. And there are very good examples of magic users, even making use of Jinns to get what they want, but all based on eager, ego and money. For the reader who does not immediately understand what I mean with ESP, I will give you an example. Ever had someone staring at you from a distance? From behind you even? Your eyes may not see their eyes, but somehow you can feel the stare. In many cases we turn around quite abruptly, without even knowing that we are going to do that, and stare them right back in the eyes where both you and the starer are shocked for a moment. Theres lots of examples of that very low form of ESP, and trust me everyone has these natural gifts of God. And with a lot of FAITH (conviction) and BELIEVE it will work for you too in a broader sense. You can hear Allah in your heart as well as a result too. Allah will lift the veil, and for the first time in life you will hear and see the other way, because Allah is Most Gracious, Most Merciful. Some people are quite strong with this and take this strength even on the worldly realms, and can even hear thoughts of others, or see stuff others do not see. This is not dangerous and crazy, but you have to remember to keep this quality away from matter, money and other tools of the Evil One. There is a good reason Allah has sealed it, and put the veils in place. If someone has to much attraction to earthly pleasures, then that person is better off without it, it simply makes the world a more safe place to live in. The true Believer is surrounded by 90% unbelievers (kafir and munafiq) and its really not a very nice place to live in. Its full of heartaches, and trials and tests, like being called a weirdo (crazy man), liar and such. Because of the veil in the end it becomes impossible to revert the true Unbeliever. He (or she) can not believe, there are simply no skills. And great is the penalty they incur, because live is very cold when only the material is visible. And indeed it is Hell to return to these circumstances again and again, after you have reached the verdict of your one life and are returned to earth to experience again the hell it is here. And the place where the Evil One rules. In these words you have perhaps already understood that the writer of this

book does believe in Reincarnation. And this writer also feels that the proof of this is actually mentioned in the holy Al Quran. Well get back to that in Ayyat 28 of this same Surah AL BAQARAH, which is my opinion is the clearest form of explaining without details I have ever seen in any of the Holy Scriptures. You just need to read the Al Quran in your own language to see it, and not believe in magic and superstition! Obviously it also part of me that studied all kinds of religion (including Buddhism) and hopes to prove to you that all religions are One, and that the One God is responsible for this universal truth, and that He is all-knowing, all-wise, Most Gracious and Most Merciful in the love for His Hamba (living and sentient creatures) and His Creation, the Heavens and the Earth, Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds (the Universe)! Subhakhanallah Walhamdulilla haillallahu Allahu Akhbar, la Haula wa la Kuata illa bi Aliyyil Azim. With the next ayyats 8~14 we are finishing with the last group of mankind, the MUNAFIQ (the Hypocrite). AYYAT 8: Wa minan nasi may yagulu amanna billahi wa bil yaumil akhiri wa ma humbi muminin Of the people there are some who say: We believe in Allah and the Last Day; but they do not (really) believe

Clearly this is the world of the Hypocrites, and we are there at this moment as well. I would say in the modern world of today the Kafirs described before could be called the Atheists, the ones that really believe in nothing (spiritual). I have always believed that you can not be angry with people that are to dumb or unequipped to understand and believe. You can simply not be angry with them! Hypocrites are a different page in my book though. They have the possibility to understand, they could learn (if they would only want to) but simply choose to believe in the material. In my eyes a sin is a very small one if you make it because you do not understand the rules, but if you do understand (or could understand) then the sin is much greater! I find the world of Hypocrites the biggest part of the mankind. I would state that indeed 70% of mankind is hypocrite. How can we allow this suffering to go on? Hunger, disease, generally a hell on earth based on the accumulation of a lot of money in the hands of certain people, and too little in the hands of too many. I will become emotional now and a bit angry really, if I am allowed, if I look at certain Christians who sit in church on Sunday and give almonds for the poor, and especially during Christmas cry out for Peace on Earth but during their normal live kick the people that work in their factories and stores, and dont give a hood about them. Just as much as I despise certain American Catholics that have in the hands of their little group the most money of the world, and sell drugs and porno to children and less fortunate souls that with that synthetic happiness have a short moment of privacy and away from the pain of the world. Same I despise certain American Jews that claim that they are still the promised tribe and America is the real promised land, and help keep Israel alive in the political mess thats created by England and America after the second world war, in a land that was really no longer for of from the Bani Israeli. But I am not done. Also the present Muslim tribe is full of hypocrites. Amal and zakat is being calculated more and more, and is no longer ikhlas, but more a way to buy ourselves in heaven. And then the business of selling the holy land itself is despicable as well. A quick calculation tells me that if we put all the first-class tickets to the Holy Land and mass-organized trips for Haji and Umroh together, we could easily solve this worlds hunger and pain (sickness).

You see that the religions do no longer forms the laws of behavior, and do no longer guide our path? Its money, and thats all it is about! So they believe (these Christians, jews, muslims and others). But they do not REALLY believe. They pretend to hear Allah, and abide his rules and commands, but they do not at all. AYYAT 9: Yukhadiunallaha wallazina amanu wa ma yakhdauna illa anfusahum wa ma yasyurun Fain would they deceive Allah and those who believe but they only deceive themselves and realize it not!

And Ayyat 9 links perfectly to the last words of comment I just wrote. They think that they deceive Allah and those who believe, but they do not really! They deceive themselves into thinking that this will make them happy, but thats a lie and perfect deceit from the Evil One of course. They will no be part (at least not after this life) of the Hereafter, and will have to be send back to Hell (on earth) again to go through this again, and I hope for them they will come to see the sense of it, because the Day of Judgment, the final decision that divides materialists from spiritualists is coming near. Although only Allah SWT knows when, what and how the Day of Judgment will fall upon us, but one day it will fall upon us. AYYAT 10: Fiqulubihim maradun fazadahumullahu maradaw wa lahumazabun alimum bima kanu yakhzibun In their hearts is a disease, and Allah has increased their disease, and grievous is the penalty they incur, because they are false to themselves..

Well, to be in denial is never good indeed. Who was is that said: Be faithful, but first of all be faithful to thyself? To lie to yourself is grave indeed. And that is what denial is about, its a disease that grows and grows, just the ways lies to others seem to grow out of themselves. Ever lied about something that bit you in the ass afterwards? I mean, lie about something that tends to grow, when repeated to other people and by other people to other people? In the end you can control it anymore, and it becomes either a big nuisance or a reason to run away, and try somewhere else again, from scratch, dyou now what I mean? The penalty is not only loneliness I can imagine though, nor just the stress of running away and trying again, another way. It also makes you less liked, both in this world and after life. Hell is the conclusion to this, and spiritual growth seems far away. AYYAT 11: Wa iza qila lahum la tufsidu fil ardi qalu innama nahnu muslihun When it is said to them: Make no mischief on Earth they say: Why, we only want to make peace.

Peace? Yeah... So it is peace when the great Christian America (and new promised Jewish land) makes peace by invading another territory, in the name of God (as it says on their one Dollar coin: In God We Trust). And Im not just talking about the war in the middle East. Some invasions go a lot sweeter (like the second world war with put the American domination in realism? Loans from the destroyed countries to rebuild their countries in the American Way? In the God Coin we trust way? Money coming in from all over the world from

the loans from their banks, the junk-food they sell in their family restaurants and the technology (Bill Gates) they sell all over the world? Or can you use the word peace when the great Muslim countries bomb the World Trade Center in New York to proof a point to their allies? To steal the oil-wells from friendly and ISLAM countries just for the money its worth? To claim that the war they are fighting for is not political and based on money (oil) but on the will of Allah and His wish that all peoples should become Muslims? I have to say that I do not find such behavior bowing for the will of God (the true meaning of ISLAM). These people are in my eye muslimists (musyriki or pagans) instead of men of understanding, bowing to the will of Allah. For their egoistic and egotistic purposes they but actually try to use Allah as a Partner to convince your country-men that the suffering they cause is devine, instead of reaching the single target to get as much money, earthly praise and honors as humanly (materialisticly=physically) possible. And there are other examples of great musriki (pagans) peace making processes that in fact are all lead by Hypocrites (that say they believe, but they do not really) and only have one target: world domination and the creation of money. Sure, they say its about unifying the world in one peaceful (American or Muslim or) pact and cooperation (or corporation?), but its really about making money isnt it? The PT Allah Incorporated? Or; In the great Coin God we Trust? There seem to be only two choices left in this time and age. And in the other hand the docile Hypocrite of course. With this faction he makes peace and we the other he makes peace the next day (we where only joking actually, we do actually really support you). AYYAT 12: Ala innahum humul mufsiduna wa lakil la yasyurun Of a surety they are the ones who make the mischief, but they realize it not.

The conclusion is that these are the worst of the worst. They are in their ignorance or in their aggression the biggest threat for world peace and the One Islam World (the whole world bowing for the will of the One God with 99 names) all peace makers believe in and hope for. They will cause this world to blow up in one big bang, and the fact is indeed they do not even realize it, indeed. The majority of the aggressors think they are doing the right thing, and both their followers (as well as the peace-making hypocrites) think this is the right way to go, supported by the television networks and the great Nationalistic, Patriot and False Religion heart in their chest (the disease is severe indeed). For the future I can only say that what true believers have said aloud in their prayers for many centuries past; Billahi Minasy Syatonirazim (May Allah protect us against the ways of the Evil One!). And make no mistake: I will prove later as it is stated in all holy scripts, including the Al Quran and its detailed Kitabi that we are all part of the same tribe, and we all descend from the same ancestral fore-father Nuh, who survived the Floods from the Great Island of Eden. There should be no discrimination of races and religions! We are all the same in the eyes of God! And we have all sinned and have had many, many civilizations destroyed before us, some many times more advanced then us. Must we go on and get ourselves destroyed again? Must we transgress to the point where God will have to make us start again from scratch? We are so close! Insyaallah, biithnillah, we can prevent it this time. Just look at the Signs! Cant you see?

This would be the right point to insert, a second time (first one was in the introduction), One of the many verses in the Al Quran (and perhaps the Bible too?) where One of the many messengers says this in the same words to The brothers he is trying to convince. Same as it says In the last comment bullet mentioned above AYYAT 13: Wa iza qila lahum aminu kama amanan nasu qalu anaminu kama amanas sufaha ala innahum humus sufahau wa lakil la yalamun When its said to them Believe as the other believe they say Shall we believe as the fools believe? Nay of a surety they are the fools, but they do not know.

This is the message 24 known messengers got when they relieved the message about Faith, and how to obtain it. They were called fools, crazy people, mad people, arrogant and liars. They were asked to prove their point, by conjuring up some magic act showing the power of God. Without that kind of physical proof they can not have Faith. Yes indeed, for us (the fools) this is normal and we consider them fools to choose to work in a factory from 9 to 5, to gather more then they need, and then die without having gathered any understanding and denying to go into the Garden, and without being able to take anything with you that you have collected as result of your hard labor. Family, friend, children and most certainly money and other earthly possessions have to be left behind right? So whats the real result of all that hard labor? Rosullah said many times that prayer is really work. In between prayers we could do the things (tasks) that cover our material life and needs. The work of praying can be brought with you, in your soul. AYYAT 14: Wa iza laqul lazina amanu qalu amanna wa iza khalau ila syayatinihim qalu inna maakum innama nahnu mustahziun When they meet those who believe, they say: We believe, but when they are alone with their evil ones, they say We are really with you, we where only jesting. Allahu yastahziu bihim wa yamudduhum fitugyanihim yamahun Allah will throw back their mockery on them, and give them rope in their trespasses; so they will wander like blind ones (to and fro). Ulaikal lazinasytarawud dalalata bil huda fama rabihat tijaratuhum wa ma kanu muh-tadin These are they who have bartered guidance for error, but their traffic is profitless, and they have lost true direction.

AYYAT 15:

AYYAT 16:

The unrest (due to hypocrisy) which results in not making a real decision which path to follow does make them restless I am sure. And Allah throws it back at them many times. And he gave them space to make these decisions. In my opinion that symbolism does not span one life-time only. Like blind ones they work and die, get born and work and die, and keep circling between lives in darkness. Again I say that theres proof of believe in Reincarnation in the Al

Quran as well as in the Bible and other holy scriptures. The proof in AL BAQARAH will follow soon actually, because it is an issue that worthy talking about it the first chapter of the wisdom and regulations of the Seal of Books (see Ayyat 28). They have bartered the message of Faith for earthly possessions (which indeed is an error, profitless in terms of spirituality (cause that investment can not be taken with you at your time of death) and as such they loose direction to Heaven, by deciding to believe in worldly values, and remain in Hell, the place where material rules and which is the Haven and Kingdom of the Evil One. AYYAT 17: Masaluhum kamasalil lazistauqada naran falamma adaat ma haulahu zahaballahu bi nurihim wa tarakahum fi zulumatil la yubsirun Their similitude is that of a man who kindled a fire, when it lighted all around him, Allah took away their light and left them in utter darkness. So they could not see. Summum bukmum umyun fahum la yarjiun Deaf, dumb and blind, they will not return to the path. Au kasayyibim minas samaI fihi zulumatuw wa raduw wa barguy yajaluna asabiahum fi azanihim minas sawaiqi hazaral maut, wallahu muhitum kafirin Or (another) similitude is that of a rain-laden cloud from the sky, in it are zones of darkness and thunder and lighting. They press their fingers in their ears to keep out the stunning thunderclap, the while they are in terror of death. But Allah is ever round the rejectors of Faith! Yakadul barqu yakhtafu absarahum, kullama adaalahum masyau fihi wa iza azlama alaihim qamu, wa lau suaallahu lazahaba bi samihim wa absarihim, innallaha ala kulli syaiing qadir The lightning all but snatches away their sight; every time the light (helps) them, they walk therein, and when the darkness grows on them, they stand still. And if Allah willed He could take away their faculty of hearing and seeing; for Allah has power over all things.

AYYAT 18: AYYAT 19:

AYYAT 20:

The examples are clear I guess. The difference between enlightenment and the world of darkness is clear. I hope by now the reader also feels what it means (in my book) to see and to hear. Hearing and seeing (things) in your heart, where on enlightenment can take place in your heart is the universal message in the Al Quran, and what better place to start giving that message right in the first real Chapter: AL BAQARAH. AYYAT 21: Ya ayyuhan nasubudu rabbakumul lazi khalaqakum wal lazina ming qablikum laallakum tattaqun O ye people! Adore your Guardian Lord, Who created you and those who came before you, that ye may have the chance to learn righteousness.

Allah is the source of all wisdom. Adoring him (praising him in prayer and meditation) will give you a chance to learn about the Hereafter and the purpose of live.

Furthermore it is of course a message to the men of understanding, to give the message to others. Righteousness is the right path, the right path is to adore One God who created you and many before you, not material Gods, but Lord Allah only. AYYAT 22: Allazijaala lakumul arda firasyaw was samaa binaaw wa anzala minas samaI maan fa akhraja bihi minas samarati rizqal lakum fala tajalu lilahi andadaw wa antum talamun Who made the earth your couch and the heavens your canopy, and sent down rain from the heavens, and brought forth therewith fruits for your sustenance, then set not up rivals unto Allah when ye know (the truth).

The couch and the roof can be taken very symbolic, as borders for our travels, theres more under heaven and eart as we know. Fruits and sustenance looks like a double meaning if we consider the words before this Ayyat. Of course it is clear that a life of work is a lot less satisfying then a life of philosophy, without tending the land and keeping animals to eat and work the fields. Fruit grows on trees, and they need only water to grow and bring forth the fruits. But it may not be wise biologically to only eat fruit? Therefore rain from the heavens (water is life and growth), and the fruits it brings forth (as a result of prayers, meditation and reflection) is your souls sustenance, where indeed we do not have to, or rather should not, invent other ways to spend our life when you know what life is about? Rivals are the worldly or material opposites of this live of self-reflection and spending time pondering on the universal question: What is life, and what am I supposed to do to have a satisfying life? It says here very clearly that in order to reach a satisfying live we should not bring rivals on Allah, or in other words, we should not doubt that the answer to what life is about is a spiritual life and not a material one. AYYAT 23: Wa ing kuntum fi raibim mimma nazzalnaalaabdina fat u bi suratim mim mislahi wasu syuhadaakum min dunillahi ing kuntum sadiqin And if ye are in doubt as to what We have revealed from time to time to Our servant, then produce a Surah like thereunto, and call your witnesses or helpers (if there are any) besides Allah, if your (doubts) are true. Fa il lam tafalu wa lan tafalu fattaqun naral lati wa quduhan nasu wal hijaratu uiddat lil kafarin But if ye cannot and of a surety ye cannot then fear the Fire whose fuel is men and stones which is prepared for those who reject Faith.

AYYAT 24:

The Surahs in the Al Quran are constant and clear on these issues. They are profound wisdom and not to be doubted! Try to come to this wisdom, and let your doubts vanish into thin air if we put the wisdom of the Al Quran upon it. Even by looking for help (of certain religious experts, witnesses or helpers) besides Allah himself, without doubt you can not escape the answer within. And if you can not and indeed I am also convinced that we can not then your decision should be clear. For those who still doubt theres no other solution then live the material life as you wish, and reject the voice in your

heart, and your result will be the material world. The Fire that erases your existence, in the end, and a return to Hell (on earth) to try again. In the end you will, without any doubt, return to Allah, and sit besides his throne. But beware of the Day of Judgment which will compel you to stay in Hell (on earth). This fire only blazes on when there are enough material spirits. They are as such the building blocks of Hell on Earth. AYYAT 25: Wa basysyiril lazina amanu wa amilus salihati anna lahum jannatin tajr min tahtihal anhar, kullama ruziqu minha min samaratir rizqang qalu hazel lazi ruziqna ming qablu wa utu bihi mutasyabiha, wa tahum fiha zawajum mutahharatuw wa hum fiha khalidun But give glad tidings to those who believe and work righteousness, that their portion is Gardens, beneath which rivers flow. Every time they are fed with fruits therefrom, they say: Why, this is what we were fed with before, for they are given things in similitude, and they have therein companions pure (and holy), and they abide therein (forever).

But to all men of understanding never loose hope, and never loose motivation to talk to others that believe and do the same as you do. Stay adamant and persevere because the reward is Heaven and Bliss. Heaven above the water which IS life and GIVES life (the rivers) will give you the same message as on earth (through your prayers) and it knows no time or matter only spiritual wealth. And all presence there is pure like you and being holy in design there is no pain, no hunger, no suffering what ever, for ever and ever. Alhamdulillah! AYYAT 26: Innallaha la yastahyi ay yadriba masalam ma baudatan fama fauqaha, fa ammal lazina amanu fayalamuna annahul haqqu mir rabihim wa ammal lazina kafaru fayaquluna ma za aradallahu bi haza masala. Yudillu bihi kasiraw wa yahdi bihi kasira, wa ma yudillu bihi illal fasiqin Allah disdains not to use the similitude of things, lowest as well as highest. Those who believe know that it is truth from their Lord, but those who reject Faith say: What means Allah by this similitude? By it He causes many to stray, and many he leads into the right path, but He causes not to stray, except those who forsake (the path).

I want to say something more about this later actually. AYYAT 27: Allazina yangquduna ahdallahi mim badi misaqihi was yaqtauna ma amarallahu bihi ay yusala wa yufsiduna fil ard, ulaika humul khasirun Those who break Allahs Covenant after it is ratified, and who sunder what Allah has ordered to be joined, and do mischief on Earth, they cause loss (only) to themselves.

The Faith is so strong that any wrong-doing by Unbelievers is of no importance for the Believers and/or the Men of Understanding. This is Allahs promise to us. Part of Allahs promise to mankind in the Covenant (to Ibrahim vocally and to Musa verbally, and after that reminders followed from many messengers between them and Rosulallah SAW) that is mentioned here is that it will be of no cause to worry to the Believers. They will only cause demise to and for themselves. But the covenants do tell us very clearly (and so do the messengers in the Al Auran and even in more detail) that many civilizations have been destroyed before us, even those more knowledgeable and powerful then us, and Allah did not doubt or remorse. Allah knows well, everything, of what ye do and what lives in your heart it is said. This Ayyat is also a bit of an introduction to the rest of the Al Quran that repeatedly talks about destructions of other civilizations. More about this later. AYYAT 28: Kaifa takfuruna billahi wa kuntum amwatan fa ahyakum summa yumitukum summa yuhyikum summa ilaihi turjaun How can ye reject the Faith in Allah? Seeing that you were without life, and He gave you life, then He will cause you to die and will again bring you back to life, and again to Him will you return.

This is (finally) the topic that weighs most heavy on the minds of almost all Commercial Religious Experts in the world. Only one religion (stemming from ISLAM as well, and although the name of their God may be different, there is fact only One God, always was, still is and will always be. Also that fact is without doubt. And now this topic is also clearly summed up in front of us, and needs not to be doubted, not matter how much doubt the rivals and false prophets of the universal religion from the God we call Allah try to create And I would like to repeat to you: And if ye are in doubt as to what We have revealed from time to time to Our servant, then produce a Surah like thereunto, and call your witnesses or helpers (if there are any) besides Allah, if your (doubts) are true. But if ye cannot and of a surety ye cannot then fear the Fire whose fuel is men and stones which is prepared for those who reject Faith. So what do you read in Ayyat 28? What do make of it? One is dead matter unborn it says, then you get born, and you die. You get born again and die again. Your final end is with Allah. Do you read the same as I do? Reincarnation has been in all the Kitabs ever created, by the inspiration of God, through the messengers of God. Indeed Rejecters of the Faith have repeatedly removed it from those Kitabs, but the Al Quran is (Praise Allah for His Exhaulted Wisdom) untouched when it comes to this, as we know. But as you can read later in this book in a special chapter dedicated to this topic, I will try to convince that the sons of Adam, followed by the offspring of Nuh, have always believed in reincarnation. One tribe that survived the flood still believes in it dearly; the Chinese, offspring from Nuhs son Jabeth. More about this later. Dont make any mistake about their religion. Most Chinese are Muslims and Christians as well as Buddhist and Zen. And still they share the believe in honoring their ancestors and reincarnation. So do the Hindu believers (obviously). The religion that still talks about an emanation after life (the hereafter) that can only be reached by meditation (prayer) and solitary life and preferring spiritual life (including very lively puasa or vesting) and

believes strongly in living several times on earth, in order to learn from these lives is of the Tibetan tribe with their most famous son and prophet Buddha! As such, unchanged from the beginning, there are over 100 instances (ayyats) in the Al Quran about reincarnation, and in that chapter I will try to sum them up for you, so the truth will come out. One example of rejection of Faith, and clear changing of the words from Allah I can however not resist. The original Bible scrolls (found at the Dead Sea were a couple that shed light on this subject) were re-written many times. The topic reincarnation was already from the Bible in the third century AD. The reason for this is simple. Believing in Hell, and believing that you can repent by paying money to monks to pray for your soul (bertaubat as we call it in ISLAM) and claim your place in Paradise, even after living a very, very bad life, was enough reason to get it out. There seems to be no profit in believing in a Hell that you can escape by living another life where you can try again, and come out successful. So it had to go AYYAT 29: Huwal lazi khalaqa lakum ma fil ardi jamian summastawa ilas samaI fasawwahunna saba samawat, wa huwa bi kulli syain alim It is He who hath created for you all things that are on earth, moreover His design comprehended to the heavens, for He gave order and perfection to the seven firmaments. And of all things He hath perfect knowledge.

And this ayyat connects to what in my opinion is the structure of the hereafter, Heavenly Garden Paradise. As Earth was created perfectly by Allah He also gave (even greate mistery and) order and perfection to the seven layers of the firmament (the Unseen the totally spiritual existence of the afterlife). Indeed Allah is a vast intelligence, with incredible powers, perfect knowledge and timeless, as well as genderless! Frankly speaking, we will never truly understand this purely spiritual realm of existence and we should not even try (were even forbidden to do so) but we are clearly welcome there to join with God if we can prove that we are worthy. So have Faith, and stick to the rules! Or be the fuel of worldly existence instead! This promise of Heaven, which is a place of perfect knowledge as is Allah Himself as the perfect Creator, Sustainer and Cherisher of the Universe is full of knowledge, and since pure spiritual existence goes hand-in-hand with the loss of physical suffering (pain of the heart and body, hunger, disease, greed, lust, gluttony and many of the other sins, its the perfect Mind Location (instead of a physical, worldly, of and in the body experience). God works in mysterious ways, praise be to Allah, the One and only God Allah, Allah is Great (the Exhaulted One)! Subhakhanallah Walhamdulillah, Wa Illa Haillallah, Allahuakhbar!

These are the first 29 Ayyat in the Al Quran and I hope you forgive me the courage (or foolishness, you may decide on that) to add my comments to the Arab Latin Transliteration and English texts that show you the Ayyat through my eyes.
Note: Not that I am such a special person, not at all, I was born from a man who had no education and drove a city bus in Amsterdam, the place where I was born. However I am an example (of course) of what I am trying to reveal to you (or the personification of the message I am throwing at you)! If you pray hard, and believe that Allah speaks to you through your heart (or E.S.P.), which is just another set of eyes and ears, filling your heart. A whole new world of possibilities WILL open up to you, I promise you, if you can be patient and persevere. Perhaps the comments can lead to you to your own comments that can be

discussed on our website forum with other men of understanding so we may reach the true final conclusion through all the hearts (as many possible) that Allah SWT will touch. The religion is ISLAM is a religion of science, and ISLAM should be the only thing we are busy with in our lives! 50% praying and meditation completed with 50% sharing philosophies and new ideas (in my opinion) amongst friends. I have to honestly admit that I also feel driven (or if I may say inspired by Allah) to write this book. Its been like this since I had a brain to think with and a heart to feel with As a matter of fact plans are underway to create a new translation of the Al Quran in the way that is shown in the 29 ayyats above. Including the Arab texts (transliteration in Latin, as well as the Arab scriptures) will be intact so you can join the quest of understanding. FENIX (the Foundation of Education and Natural Islam eXperience, who funds my work and research has been planning this for a while now, and Insyaallah this book will find its way. Free copies of the Al Quran translated in English, French, German, Dutch and Indonesian can be begotten by sending an email, or order it on the website, and of course a free copy of this book as well as the New Al Quran is available in PDF as well on that site. Youre welcome to it.

As such in my opinion the first 29 ayyat in the first real Surah AL BAQARAH are special, and some what different. As a matter of fact both Surah-1 (AL FATIHAH The opening) and Surah-2 (AL BAQARAH The Heifer) sum first of all up (in short, with not much detail) what you must do to reach Paradise, what the three different kinds of brothers and sisters in mankind exist of and how it works. And they do this in a very simple way and very much to the point. The rest of the Al Quran (until the short verses) repeats (still 256 Ayyats left in AL BAQARAH itself and 113 more Surahs over roughly 1245 pages left in the total of the Al Quran) what happened to messengers (known and unknown) and what the result was for the three different kinds of tribes and people, as well as mentioning that many destructions took place as a result of the transgression of the Unbelievers. We will here more about this later in this book of course. I repeat that as far as I can see, all these stories are true and without any doubt and proven by science, over a period of roughly 10.000 years (since the creation of mankind c.q. Nabbi Adam until the birth of Rosulallah Mohammad SAW Bless His Name.

Chapter 4: Symbolism contextual vs. textual)

in

the

Quran

(the

stratagem

of

As you know from the chapters before I feel that all the religions share the same message and that they all speak the truth, but lets stand still for a moment about the way they do this. What has been hot for ages now, but is still reasonably unanswered is the reading of texts in a textual or contextual way. This means that certain texts have so called symbolism in them, that can be translated in such a way that it changes its meaning, or in other words thats its meant in a different context. This contradicted to a textual way where it simply means actually what it says, and should be done exactly the way the text tells you to. This is however a very dangerous stratagem! Who is to decide what is textual information (a literal description) that contains an instruction that should be followed up literally, contrary to contextual information (or magical wisdom) covered in symbolism that normal men do not understand and should therefore be ignored by normal men and left to the experts to dwell in and debate and discuss? I always vote for the textual concept, and always read the texts in the Al Quran and the other Holy Scriptures exactly as its written. If it would been symbolic and not to be understand by the majority of people, and only a selected group of elite people of religious experts, then why was it not written in a secret language and kept away from dispersion amongst the people, free of charge and anywhere possible and the language of the time? Secondly, Rosullah himself is a man from low standing as it

says, born from humans and in poverty. Further he was not a scholar trained in the science of religion, he was basically not even able to read or write and even without a biological father (who died when he was 7 months)? Also I just cant forget the very first statement in the very first words about the Al Quran (Surah 2: Al Baqarah, Ayyat 2:) in the equation that states that the guidance in the scriptures is without any doubt, which to me simply means it does not contain symbolism and does not require debate and discussion to decipher. AL BAQARAH [II_002] Roswell edition (1734): This is the Scripture whereof there is no doubt. Guidance unto those who ward off (evil). AL BAQARAH [II_002] Abdullah Yusuf Ali (1938): This is the Book; in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear God. However, one question does immediately arise when the textual and conceptual stratagem jumps up in discussions among friends; is our present technological and spiritual level of normal men living in the 21 st century really the same as they were at the moment the Al Quran was given to Mohammad SAW by Allah (576 A.D.)? Technology levels are easy, we have advanced quite a lot since the 6th century A.D., stating that the Arab tribes, herdsmen of sheep and nomads traveling the deserts on camelbacks could quite reasonable be compared to some people living in the bush or the great forests on the world in the 21st century isnt it? I wonder what would happen if we would surprise one of those 21st century tribes in the great forests of the Amazon with a visit in their natural habitat with the use of a simple transportation device such as a helicopter Some tribes in the Africa have still never seen such a thing. As a matter of fact some have never seen white skinned people either! What would they think of this? Scenario: A helicopter lands in the African bush for the first time. None of the natives have ever seen such a machine. The helicopter lands in a clearing with a sinister clatter; white skinned pilots in battle-dress, with crash helmets and machine-guns jump out of it. The native in his loin-cloth stands stupefied and uncomprehending in the presence of this thing that has come from the heavens and the unknown gods who come with it. After a time the helicopter takes off again and disappears in the sky. Once he is alone again the savage has to work out to explain to his friends and interpret the apparition. He will tell his friends who were not present what he saw; a bird, a heavenly vehicle that made a terrible noise and stank, white-skinned creatures carrying sticks that spat fire. Is this too crazy, a story like this? Please read a part of the Bible Ezekeil first then, and I leave you to make conclusions for yourself. The Book of the Prophet Ezekiel - the Prophets Vision of the Divine Glory Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachins captivity, the word of the Lord came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the Lord was there upon him.

And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire enfolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire. Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man. And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calfs foot: and they sparkled like the color of burnished brass. And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings. Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward. As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle. Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies. And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went. As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps : it went up and down among the living creatures ; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning. And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning. Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces. The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the color of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel. When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went. As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four. And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the color of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above. And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies. And when they went, I heard the noise of their

wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of a host: when they stood, they let down their wings. And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings. And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it. And I saw as the color of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about. As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke. And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee. Its hard to comment on these texts, but sufficed to say I do see inside this biblical text a person who may not have the technological means to describe his vision since the story and the description of seeing God and His servants are really quite technical arent they? If Im not mistaken you will also see something being depicted that resembles the looks of (very modern) airplanes.. Above the heads of the pilots a covering cockpit made from terrible crystal wheels that go inside the airplane when they lift off on straight legs with in the bottom hooves like a calf featuring wings that are straight but change position at ultrasonic speeds, and with roaring engines (featuring noise of great waters and as the voice of the Almighty). This all combined with wings with some kind of jet engine attached to it (with fire in them and flashes coming out)...??? This is just too much I cant see this anymore as symbolism, can you? Or are these the so called contextual texts that should inspire us? For the reader I do hope you remember the Al Quran being the seal of the Kitabs. After all this is still the same God we are reading about! These texts are not changed by the Christians, they didnt know what to do with it either. Its coming straight from the Kitabun Bani Isreali (the Talmud) as its called in the Quran, went into the Bible, wasnt changed by the early Christian emperors of Rome, or later Popes, and should as a result of that be looked upon as a source from the Quran and should therefore at least in my eyes not be doubted. I assure we will come back to this later, I promise. And please dont think I have lost my mind either Many religious experts have bent their minds on this, and in doubt some of them also banged their heads against the wall. I am sure together we will come to a conclusion in the end of this book... These are certainly not the only texts in the Bible that give me this feeling, by the way. And not only the Bible comes with some pretty interesting texts, in fact the Quran is also mentioning miracles that need a level of technology that at that moment could not be explained, and some of them need a lot of science and a lot of imagination in this era too. Nevertheless I stick to my believe that we should always believe in the words that are made by Allah in the Quran, and as a matter of one specific text from the Al Quran comes in mind, giving the message that other

civilizations actually have been destroyed in the past that were more evolved than the Arab tribe at the time of the Al Quran, and may even be more advanced then the times we live in now! Also the warnings in these messages are in my opinion textual. Such is the Garden which We give as an inheritance to those of Our servants who guard against evil. (The angels say :) "We descend not but by command of thy Lord: to Him belongeth what is before us and what is behind us, and what is between: and thy Lord never doth forget. When the angels say We will descend what do they really mean? Normal descending means coming down from the heavens on to the earth, to give messages and do perform task on earth. Note that Allah is clearly without time. Or better still, the heavens are clearly timeless. I will make a point of that later. Remember though that in science from this century the essence about time and space (as the 4th dimension) has been clarified by Einstein. "Lord of the heavens and of the earth, and of all that is between them: so worship Him, and be constant and patient in His worship: knowest thou of any who is worthy of the same Name as He? How should be approach the ruler of the heavens, earth and everything in between? And how do we worship that if not with being constant (in steadfast prayer/meditation) and to be patient (with the result)? When Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them, the Unbelievers say to those who believe, "Which of the two sides is best in point of position? Which makes the best show in Council?" But how many (countless) generations before them have We destroyed, who were even better in equipment and in glitter to the eye? Not exactly to the point when we are talking about the symbolic meaning of words in the Quran, I still cant stop citing more of this Surah in the abovementioned Ayyat, and the other that will follow. Do you not think that whats described as the Unbeliever is exactly what I described in the opening texts under the context of PT GOD Incorporated? What side is the best considering our position in debates about symbolism in order to keep the normal man in his position? What will convince (and brainwash) the normal man easiest during our debates in front of the company shareholders? And there it is: How many generations (countless it says, so dont even try) did God already destroy in the (far) past with a superior intellect, technological level and even a richer one (in terms of more money)? Say: "If any men go astray, (God) Most Gracious extends (the rope) to them, until, when they see the warning of God (being fulfilled) either in punishment or in (the approach of) the Hour they will at length realize who is worst in position, and (who) weakest in forces! Indeed God is Most Patient, Most Gracious, Most Merciful, and gives some generations rope meaning time to get our acts together and wise up but when the Day of Days comes (and only Allah will decide when the time has come) they will by in the worst position of all, bar and alone, and weak as a baby.. Again, Allah and Allah alone will decide when the destruction of this generation is inevitable again. From my side? I have to admit being a bit pessimistic about the length in time when it comes to that. I am aware that

the present paganism and satanic commercialism has been growing to unholy proportions. Do YOU not see His Signs? And God doth advance in guidance those who seek guidance: and the things that endure, good Deeds, are best in the sight of thy Lord, as rewards, and best in respect of (their) eventual returns." Repent. Revert. Humanitarian aid (amal and zakat). Share sustenance and knowledge. Pray, persevere and be patient about the results. God is most Gracious and Merciful. Hast thou then seen the (sort of) man who rejects Our Signs, yet says: "I shall certainly be given wealth and children?" Has he penetrated to the Unseen, or has he taken a contract with (God) Most Gracious? Nay! We shall record what he says, and We shall add and add to his punishment. But then, have you taken a good look at your colleagues at work, friends and family? Your boss? The president, king or prime ministers and high-priests where you live? Have they been doing anything for others but for their own offspring and their own bank-accounts (only)? Have they fallen on their bare knees and prayed to God, or are they in mind under contract of the businessdeal they made a while ago with Allah? And He knows all, remembers all, records everything in the heavenly records, and it adds on to the list. Your list too? To Us shall return all that he talks of, and he shall appear before Us bare and alone. And they have taken (for worship) gods other than God, to give them power and glory! Instead, they shall reject their worship, and become adversaries against them. To return to your maker bare and alone, you cant take with you in the grave what they promise you. I said it didnt i? Nono really folks, I mean it the dollar God in which were told to trust, the credit card to make loans at the bank even easier, the family restaurant and coke? Holy War (jihad) just to captures someone elses oil wells to pay your 1st class Arab-Air Haj? Powerful and glorious? Its just a very bad idea! Change! Now! There is no more time to think about time, we simply dont have the time for it

And these are clearly issues that can be read in a textual way and not contextual wouldnt you agree? Of course they can debate in the higher religious circles and make us confused, so their message will continue to work, but for me the text itself is clear enough. Even when airplanes of the very distant past are mentioned in a time that these inventions where not invented yet. After all ISLAM is the religion of science as they say, and Allah is clearly a vast intelligence but records that archive everything one ever came up with, said and did. And; I do believe that from these records of inventions sometimes an earthly soul finds an interesting technical tool and uncovers it in contradiction with the term to discover I use uncover because I think its exactly like that, Allah will inspire scientists when He deems the time right to uncover certain things. No inventions are made by man, says the Al Quran, they are just uncovered in a moment of divine inspiration (as in prayer and meditation, or as in downloading them from the heavenly archives of infinite knowledge). He is all knowing!

And do make note that some very extraordinary technical devices where found from those times by scientists from our time. NOTE: The battery found in Arab and other inventions of that time Von Danicken again

Sunatan & Prok meat. Where did we find the example about that again (the little insects in pork meat?... And do make note that some very extraordinary technical devices where found from those times by scientists from our time. NOTE: The battery found in Arab and other inventions of that time Von Danicken again And to come back to the second part of the question at hand, whether the spiritual level of the normal man in the 21st century is the same as the people living in

Mohammads days, I would have to say that I doubt that too! Considering the livestyle and the general surviving of the day attitude in the rough working conditions and surroundings of the 6th Arab tribesmen, I would say that their spiritualism would not have stretched back further than the proverbial straw that broke the camels back or worse the back end of the sheep they tended In other words MARVELS and MAGIC THAT COULD SIMPLY NOT BE EXPLAINED THEN (yet) THAT CAN BE EXPLAINED (now), BOTH SCIENTIFICALLY as well as SPIRITUALLY; Such as there is: The fact that we only use 20% of our brain Jesus and polarization to heal the sick Levitation, Telepathy and Empathy, Starvation and other Material Denial or Denial of the Body (PUASA) Scientific advancement on Holography, Molecular Displacement, Relativity Theory, A.I. (artificial intelligence), Genetics manipulation, and more

in very literal kind of way. Sure, there is a lot of symbolism in all of the Holy Scripts, but I believe that most of what the religious experts sell to you as symbolism is actually writings of the past that at that time could just not yet be explained yet. With our present level of technology and spirituality we are now so much more capable of explaining in a scientific OR a spiritual way.

priest/imam, church-leader/ayatollah, dukun, kiayi and magic man, as well as scientific psychologists and psychiatrists as well as politicians and presidents that rely on selling their political prophesies with Pagan religion we accept as symbolism are simple and straightforward facts. Again, in my heart there is no doubt. This is so because I hear the truth in my heart, as I said earlier. I remember my mothers reaction when I to said when I told her I was convinced of hearing other mans thoughts, and in many cases feeling other mans pains, she said: Yeah, well, if you believe in it, then it is true of course. She dismissed such nonsense with these words obviously, but I always thought: Then why do you not believe in it too mum? Thats a quick response, from the heart, without thinking about, but in later phases in my life it started making sense actually. See, there is the strategy of positive thinking as we all know. That strategy says that if we have a positive approach to issues in our live, they will unfold in a positive way. For instance

I guess. If you strongly believe something will happen, then it will, so to say. And I do speak of that in the previous chapters, backed up with what I think is the universal message in the Al Quran and other Holy Scriptures. However although the scientist in me has already proven to myself that a lot of issues that my own Extra Sensors are working (that there is no longer a seal upon my heart and that the veils are lifted from my spiritual eyes and ears so to say), I would like to prove it to you, the reader, that what the Holy Book says is always true, be it in the scientific (textual) or symbolic (contextual) sense. And the first thing that comes in mind is the very beginning of the Holy Book(s), the creation of Earth, the Heaven(s) and mankind. Can be prove that there is no word written that is even slightly wrong? Shall we start then on our quest of truth with a simple truth, like; was the father of mankind really Adam? How was he created? When did he live? What happened? And did he indeed live in the Garden of Eden? Can we find out where that place was, did it exist, and if so can we start digging there?

Chapter 5 Adam, the Forefather of Mankind vs. Genetics

To start digging the best way to go is to study (first of all) the Holy Quran where issues like this are clearly described. Apart from studying the Quran-style Arab (which is the ancient Arab language, and just like the Bible and other Holy Scripts an old language) I have made use of several translations, starting with the Rodwell edition (1648 A.D.) and 4 other more modern editions (the most modern being the year 1902 A.D.).
FROM DIFFERENT SURAH IN THE AL QURAN Behold, thy Lord said to the angels: I will create a vicegerent on earth. They said: Wilt Thou place therein one who will make mischief therein and shed blood? Whilst we do celebrate Thy praises and glorify Thy holy (name)? He said: I know what ye know not. And He taught Adam the names of all things, placed them before the angels and said: Tell Me the names of these if you are right. They Said: Glory to Thee, of knowledge we have none, save what Thou has taught us, in truth it is Thou Who art perfect in knowledge and wisdom. He said: O Adam! Tell them the names. When he had told them, Allah said: Did I not tell you that I know the secrets of the heaven and earth, and I know what ye reveal and what ye conceal? And behold, We said to the angels: Bow down to Adam and they bowed down, but not so Iblis, he refused and was haughty, he was of those who rejected Faith. We said: "O Adam! Dwell thou and thy wife in the Garden; and eat of the bountiful things therein as (where and when) ye will; but approach not this tree, or ye run into harm and transgression." Then did Satan make them slip from the (Garden), and get them out of the state (of felicity) in which they had been. We said: "Get ye down, all (ye people), with enmity between yourselves. On earth will be your dwelling-place and your means of livelihood for a time." Then learnt Adam from his Lord words of inspiration, and his Lord turned towards him; for He is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful. We said: "Get ye down all from here; and if, as is sure, there comes to you guidance from Me, whosoever follows My guidance, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. But those who reject Faith and belie Our Signs, they shall be Companions of the Fire; they shall abide therein." Verily We created man of potter's clay of black mud altered, and the jinn did We create aforetime of essential fire. And (remember) when thy Lord said unto

the angels: Lo! I am creating a mortal out of potter's clay of black mud altered, so, when I have made him and have breathed into him of My Spirit, do ye fall down, prostrating yourselves unto him. So the angels fell prostrate, all of them together. But not so Iblis! He refused to be among the prostrate. O Iblis! What aileth thee that thou art not among the prostrate? He said: I am not one to prostrate myself unto a mortal whom Thou hast created out of potter's clay of black mud altered! He said: Then go thou forth from hence, for lo! thou art outcast. And lo, the curse shall be upon thee till the Day of Judgment. He said: My Lord! Reprieve me till the day when they are raised. He said: Then lo, thou art of those reprieved. Till the Day of appointed time. He said: My Lord! Because Thou hast sent me astray, I verily shall adorn the path of error for them in the earth, and shall mislead them every one, have such of them as are Thy perfectly devoted slaves. This is a right course incumbent upon Me: Lo, as for My slaves, thou hast no power over any of them save such of the froward as follow thee, and lo! for all such, hell will be the promised place. It hath seven gates, and each gate hath an appointed portion. Lo! those who ward off (evil) are among gardens and watersprings. (And it is said unto them): Enter them in peace, secure. And We remove whatever rancour may be in their breasts. As brethren, face to face, (they rest) on couches raised. Toil cometh not unto them there, nor will they be expelled from thence. FROM DIFFERENT PARTS IN GENESIS FROM THE BIBLE: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void ; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light : and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good : and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament : and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear : and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth ; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas : and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth : and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind : and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the third day. And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night ; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years : and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth : and it was so. And God made two great lights ; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night : he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness : and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of

heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind : and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind : and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind : and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him ; male and female created he them. And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from hence it was parted, and became into four heads. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God ; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold : the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth ; and I have set thee so, thou wast upon the holy mountain of God ; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. ANCIENT EGYPTIAN SCROLLS (before Polytheism): ON the third day, God planted the garden in the east of the earth, on the border of the world eastward, beyond which, towards the sun-rising, one finds nothing but water that encompasses the whole world, and reaches unto the borders of heaven. And to the north of the garden there is a sea of wafer, clear and pure to the taste, like unto nothing else; so that, through the clearness thereof, one may look into the depths of the earth. And when a man washes himself in it, becomes clean of the cleanness thereof, and white of its whiteness--even if he were dark. And God created that sea of His own good pleasure, for He knew what would come of the man He should make; so that after he had left the garden, on account of his transgression, men should be born in the earth, from among whom righteous ones should die, whose souls God would raise at the last day; when they should return to their flesh; should bathe in the water of that sea, and all of them repent of their sins.

Theres a lot more where that came from I have estimated once that there are at least 25 holy books from different authentic religions that all describe the same as the above. I dread however to say to you that the total of holy pages are approximately 1.000.000 pages!! There are still many other (unknown) religions and Holy Books that have the same story in them. The major ones that I can mention, and that all describe a Garden (in many cases one that is surrounded by a great big water, diving the two great landmasses in the east and the west) are the following;

Egyptians, Greek, Romans

Assyrians, Babylonians, Ethiopians Aborigines (Australia) Semites (Jews & Arabs) Gauls, Celts (French, Irish, Scots, British) Scandinavians (Thor) Germanic Tribes (Wodan) Native South Americans (Mayas, Aztecs, Toltecs etc.) Native North Americans (Sioux, Banshees, Miamis etc.) India, Indonesia (Hindu) Japan China (Buddhists, Zen, Tao) And the list goes on

How is that possible, if indeed all these religions are all coming from different areas in the world? They do indeed describe the same people, the same story and the same God even if the names change some times So truly there is only One God then! And the Al Quran (as a seal or compilation of all these books) does indeed speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? The only logical (and scientific) conclusion then must be that Allah indeed exists! Not as some magical God, that uses magical words, and He must have a lot of names (99 as a matter of fact says the Al Quran) but a real existing all-knowing, all-creating, omnipotent vast intelligence that sent us Convenants in our normal language (such as the Al Quran to the Arab people, in their normal language) that should be READ and BELIEVED as its written, by the NORMAL people!!! And its not only the Holy Book that speaks the truth about locations of the Garden that can be trusted without doubt, in my opinion everything that was said in my comments from the first 2 Surah, Ayyat 1 ~ 33 is meant exactly like its written isnt it? Especially the very openings, remember;
AL FATIHAH [I_001]: In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. Praise be to God, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds; Most Gracious, Most Merciful; Master of the Day of Judgment. Thee do we worship, and Thine aid we seek. Show us the straight way, the way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace, Those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray. AL BAQARAH [II_001]: This is the Book. In it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear God; Who believe in the Unseen, are steadfast in prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them. And who believe in the Revelation Sent to thee, and sent before thy time, and (in their hearts) have the assurance of the Hereafter. They are on (true) guidance from their Lord, and it is these who will prosper. As to those who reject Faith, It is the same to them whether thou warn them, or do not warn them; they will not believe. God hath set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing, and on their eyes is a veil; Great is the penalty they (incur)

And not just that, if the Holy Al Quran (made as a conclusion, seal, compilation of many other books that speak exactly the same truth) speaks the literal truth about a Garden (and its inhabitants, created by God Himself) why would the message above not be read and interpreted LITERALLY like the other words. The Al Quran is simple. For simple people. In a normal simple language. No magic Arabian words or sacred Arabian mantras and spells in place (its not Harry Potter..). It needs not be confirmed by religious experts that are basically self created jobs, for money,

and I must warn you that these people are the as false partners of God about whom the holy scriptures constantly warns us people that have to study many years to interpret the symbolic meaning and hidden information between the lines THERE IS NO SYMBOLIC MEANING or INFORMATION BETWEEN THE LINES! We just need to simply read it, simply understand it, simply open our minds, to become simple men of understanding, what basically simply means to simply do exactly what the Book says! Dont you see?

Chapter 5 The Garden of Eden described by Plato, 400 B.C.

By all means lets continue the quest, and prove to you that you too can reach the only target we should care about in this life which is to die well after walking the straight path and to welcomed in the Hereafter, and join with Allah, just under His throne as it says in the Book of Truth;
give glad tidings to those who believe, and work righteousness, that their portion is Gardens, beneath which rivers flow, for they are given things in similitude; and they have therein companions pure (and holy); and they abide therein (for ever).

And the way the believers get their existence in the spiritual realm of the Heavenly Gardens Allah provides the same similitude in the form of the physical Gardens on Earth for Adam to materially dwell in. Theres enough proof in the Al Quran and the other Holy Scriptures to assume that the Garden was established on earth.
FROM THE AL QURAN: AL BAQARAH [II_030]: And when thy Lord said unto the angels: Lo! I am about to place a viceroy in the earth, they said: Wilt thou place therein one who will do harm therein and will shed blood, while we, we hymn Thy praise and sanctify Thee? AL BAQARAH [II_036]: But Satan caused them to deflect therefrom and expelled them from the (happy) state in which they were; and We said: Fall down, one of you a foe unto the other! There shall be for you on earth a habitation and provision for a time. FROM THE BIBLE: [GENESIS III_017]: And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying; thou shalt not eat of it, cursed is the ground for thy sake, in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life. [GENESIS III_018]: Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee, and thou shalt eat the herb of the field, in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground, for out of it wast thou taken, for dust thou art,and unto dust shalt thou return.

As a matter of fact when we read the following verses in the Bible (Genesis) as said in many cases the other Holy Scripts are more detailed in certain things then the Seal of Holy Scriptures we can even draw the conclusion that the very first Garden of Eden was of a spiritual realm rather than a material one. We shall come back to that point later. Clearly stated in the next verses is the fact that from holy beings Adam and Isha (the first name of Eve) they became mortal (because they were forbidden to eat anymore fruits of the tree of life), were given clothes to protect them from the direct sunlight and other influences of earthly life and climate, and the entrance of the spritual Garden was forever closed (and protected by an angel.

[GENESIS III_020]: And Adam called his wifes name Eve [living], because she was the mother of all living. Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them. [GENESIS III_021]: And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil, and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever, therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. [GENESIS III_024] So he drove out the man, and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden a cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. THE ANCIENT EGYPTIAN SCROLLS (before Polytheism): But when God made Adam go out of the garden, He did not place him on the border of it northward, lest he should draw near to the sea of water, and he and Eve wash themselves in it, be cleansed from their sins, forget the transgression they had committed, and he no longer reminded of it in the thought of their punishment. Then, again, as to the southern side of the garden, God was not pleased to let Adam dwell there; because, when the wind blew from the north, it would bring him, on that southern side, the delicious smell of the trees of the garden. Wherefore God did not put Adam there, lest he should smell the sweet smell of those trees forget his transgression, and find consolation for what he had done, take delight in the smell of the trees, and not be cleansed from his transgression.

In these pieces of text from the archives of which we found existence surely not before 4000 B.C. we also find more of a geographical description of a location that is
Again, also, because God is merciful and of great pity, and governs all things in a way He alone knows--He made our father Adam dwell in the western border of the garden, because on that side the earth is very broad. And God commanded him to dwell there in a cave in a rock--the Cave of Treasures below the garden. BUT when our father Adam, and Eve, went out of the garden, they trod the ground on their feet, not knowing they were treading. And when they came to the opening of the gate of the garden, and saw the broad earth spread before them, covered with stones large and small, and with sand, they feared and trembled, and fell on their faces, from the fear that came upon them; and they were as dead. Because--whereas they had hitherto been in the garden-land, beautifully planted with all manner of trees--they now saw themselves, in a strange land, which they knew not, and had never seen. And because at that time they were filled with the grace of a bright nature, and they had not hearts turned towards earthly things. Therefore had God pity on them; and when He saw them fallen before the gate of the garden, He sent His Word unto father Adam and Eve, and raised them from their fallen state. GOD said to Adam, "I have ordained on this earth days and years, and thou and thy seed shall dwell and walk in it, until the days and years are fulfilled; when I shall send the Word that created thee, and against which thou hast transgressed, the Word that made thee come out of the garden and that raised thee when thou wast fallen. Yea, the Word that will again save thee when the five days and a half are fulfilled." But when Adam heard these words from God, and of the great five days and a half, he did not understand the meaning of them. For Adam was thinking that there would be but five days and a half for him, to the end of the world. And Adam wept, and prayed God to explain it to him. Then God in His mercy for Adam who was made after His own

image and similitude, explained to him, that these were 5,000 and 500 years; and how One would then come and save him and his seed. But God had before that made this covenant with our father, Adam, in the same terms, ere he came out of the garden, when he was by the tree whereof Eve took the fruit and gave it him to eat. In as much as when our father Adam came out of the garden, he passed by that tree, and saw how God had then changed the appearance of it into another form, and how it withered. And as Adam went to it he feared, trembled and fell down; but God in His mercy lifted him up, and then made this covenant with him. And, again, when Adam was by the gate of the garden, and saw the cherub with a sword of flashing fire in his hand, and the cherub grew angry and frowned at him, both Adam and Eve became afraid of him, and thought he meant to put them to death. So they fell on their faces, and trembled with fear. But he had pity on them, and showed them mercy; and turning from them went up to heaven, and prayed unto the Lord, and said: "Lord, Thou didst send me to watch at the gate of the garden, with a sword of fire. "But when Thy servants, Adam and Eve, saw me, they fell on their faces, and were as dead. O my Lord, what shall we do to Thy servants?" Then God had pity on them, and showed them mercy, and sent His Angel to keep the garden. And the Word of the Lord came unto Adam and Eve, and raised them up. And the Lord said to Adam, "I told thee that at the end of five days and a half, I will send my Word and save thee. "Strengthen thy heart, therefore, and abide in the Cave of Treasures, of which I have before spoken to thee. "And when Adam heard this Word from God, he was comforted with that which God had told him, for He had told him how He would save him. BUT Adam and Eve wept for having come out of the garden, their first abode. And, indeed, when Adam looked at his flesh that was altered, he wept bitterly, he and Eve, over what they had done. And they walked and went gently down into the Cave of Treasures. And as they came to it Adam wept over himself and said to Eve, "Look at this cave that is to be our prison in this world, and a place of punishment! What is it compared with the garden? What is its narrowness compared with the space of the other? "What is this rock, by the side of those groves? What is the gloom of this cavern, compared with the light of the garden? "What is this overhanging ledge of rock to shelter us, compared with the mercy of the Lord that overshadowed us? What is the soil of this cave compared with the garden-land? This earth, strewed with stones; and that, planted with delicious fruit-trees? "And Adam said to Eve, "Look at thine eyes, and at mine, which afore beheld angels in heaven, praising; and they, too, without ceasing. But now we do not see as we did: our eyes have become of flesh; they cannot see in like manner as they saw before. THEN Adam wept and said, "O God, when we dwelt in the garden, and our hearts were lifted up, we saw the angels that sang praises in heaven, but now we do not see as we were used to do; nay, when we entered the cave, all creation became hidden from us."Then God the Lord said unto Adam, "When thou wast under subjection to Me, thou hadst a bright nature within thee, and for that reason couldst thou see things afar off. But after thy transgression thy bright nature was withdrawn from thee; and it was not left to thee to see things afar off, but only near at hand; after the ability of the flesh; for it is brutish." When Adam and Eve had heard these words from God, they went their way; praising and worshipping Him with a sorrowful heart. And God ceased to commune with them

If so where was its geographically located? Help was retrieved through a peace of text in the Greek archives from a philosopher/writer called Plato. A peace of text that was actually provided through an Egyptian priest that had access to the great

ancient Egyptian libraries (the same where Nabbi Musa was trained and educated from no more approximately 1000 years before) Plato lived 400 years before the birth of Christ. His ancestor, Solon, was the great law-giver of Athens 600 years before the Christian era. Solon visited Egypt. Plutarch says, "Solon attempted in verse a large description, or rather fabulous account of an Atlantic Island, which he had learned from the wise men of Sais, and which particularly concerned the Athenians; but by reason of his age, not want of leisure (as Plato would have it), he was apprehensive the work would be too much for him, and therefore did not go through with it. "Plato, ambitious to cultivate and adorn the subject of the Atlantic Island, as a delightful spot in some fair field unoccupied, to which also be had some claim by reason of his being related to Solon, laid out magnificent courts and enclosures, and erected a grand entrance to it, such as no other story, fable, or Poem ever had. But, as he began it late, he ended his life before the work, so that the more the reader is delighted with the part that is written, the more regret he has to find it unfinished." There can be no question that Solon visited Egypt. The causes of his departure from Athens, for a period of ten years, are fully explained by Plutarch. There he conversed upon points of philosophy and history with the most learned of the Egyptian priests. He was a man of extraordinary force and penetration of mind, as his laws and his sayings, which have been preserved to us, testify. There is no improbability in the statement that be commenced in verse a history and description of Atlantis, which be left unfinished at his death; and it requires no great stretch of the imagination to believe that this manuscript reached the hands of his successor and descendant, Plato; a scholar, thinker, and historian like himself, and, like himself, one of the profoundest minds of the ancient world. the Egyptian priest had said to Solon, "You have no antiquity of history, and no history of antiquity;" and Solon doubtless realized fully the vast importance of a record which carried human history back, not only thousands of years before the era of Greek civilization, but many thousands of years before even the establishment of the kingdom of Egypt "At the head of the Egyptian Delta, where the river Nile divides, there is a certain district which is called the district of Sais, and the great city of the district is also called Sais, and is the city from which Amasis the king was sprung. And the citizens have a deity who is their foundress: she is called in the Egyptian tongue Neith, which is asserted by them to be the same whom the Hellenes called Athene. Now, the citizens of this city are great lovers of the Athenians, and say that they are in some way related to them. Thither came Solon, who was received by them with great honor; and be asked the priests, who were most skilful in such matters, about antiquity, and made the discovery that neither he nor any other Hellene knew anything worth mentioning about the times of old. On one occasion, when he was drawing them on to speak of antiquity, he began to tell about the most ancient things in our part of the world--about Phoroneus, who is called 'the first,' and about Niobe; and, after the Deluge, to tell of the lives of Deucalion and Pyrrha; and he traced the genealogy of their descendants, and attempted to reckon how many years old were the events of which he was speaking, and to give the dates. Thereupon, one of the priests, who was of very great age; said, 'O Solon, Solon, you Hellenes are but children, and there is never an old man who is an Hellene, I mean that in mind you are all young; there is no old opinion handed down among you by ancient tradition, nor any science which is hoary with

age. And I will tell you the reason of this: there have been, and there will be again, many destructions of mankind arising out of many causes. It is simply a fact that wherever the extremity of winter frost or of summer sun does not prevent, the human race is always increasing at times, and at other times diminishing in numbers. And whatever happened either in your country or in ours, or in any other region of which we are informed--if any action which is noble or great, or in any other way remarkable has taken place, all that has been written down of old, and is preserved in our temples; whereas you and other nations are just being provided with letters and the other things which States require; and know nothing of what happened in ancient times, either among us or among yourselves. As for those genealogies of yours which you have recounted to us, Solon, they are no better than the tales of children; for, in the first place, you remember one deluge only, whereas there were many of them; and, in the next place, you do not know that there dwelt in your land the fairest and noblest race of men which ever lived, of whom you and your whole city are but a seed or remnant. And this was unknown to you, because for many generations the survivors of that destruction died and made no sign. For there was a time, Solon, before that great deluge of all, where there was a mighty power which was aggressing wantonly against the whole of Europe and Asia, and to which your city put an end. This power came forth out of the Atlantic Ocean, for in those days the Atlantic was navigable; and there was an island situated in front of the straits which you call the Columns of Heracles: the island was larger than Libya and Asia put together, and was the way to other islands, and from the islands you might pass through the whole of the opposite continent which surrounded the true ocean; for this sea which is within the Straits of Heracles is only a harbor, having a narrow entrance, but that other is a real sea, and the surrounding and may be most truly called a continent. Now, in the island of Atlantis there was a great and wonderful empire, which had rule over the whole island and several others, as well as over parts of the continent; and, besides these, they subjected the parts of Libya within the Columns of Heracles as far as Egypt, and of Europe as far as Tyrrhenia. The vast power thus gathered into one, endeavored to subdue at one blow our country and yours, and the whole of the land which was within the straits, but afterward there occurred violent earthquakes and floods, and in a single day and night of rain all your warlike men in a body sunk into the earth, and the island of Atlantis in like manner disappeared, and was sunk beneath the sea. And that is the reason why the sea in those parts is impassable and impenetrable, because there is such a quantity of shallow mud in the way; and this was caused by the subsidence of the island.' ("Plato's Dialogues," ii., 617, Timaeus.) . . . "Let me begin by observing, first of all, that nine thousand was the sum of years which had elapsed since the war which was said to have taken place between all those who dwelt outside the Pillars of Heracles and those who dwelt within them: this war I am now to describe. Of the combatants on the one side the city of Athens was reported to have been the

ruler, and to have directed the contest; the combatants on the other side were led by the kings of the islands of Atlantis, which, as I was saying, once had an extent greater than that of Libya and Asia; and, when afterward sunk by an earthquake, became an impassable barrier of mud to voyagers sailing from hence to the ocean. Many great deluges have taken place during the nine thousand years, for that is the number of years which have elapsed since the time of which I am speaking; and in all the ages and changes of things there has never been any settlement of the earth flowing down from the mountains, as in other places, which is worth speaking of; it has always been carried round in a circle, and disappeared in the depths below. The consequence is that, in comparison of what then was, there are remaining in small islets only the bones of the wasted body, as they may be called, all the richer and softer parts of the soil having fallen away, and the mere skeleton of the country being left. . . . And as I have before remarked, in speaking of the allotments of the gods, that they distributed the whole earth into portions differing in extent, and made themselves temples and sacrifices. And Poseidon, receiving for his lot the island of Atlantis, begat children by a mortal woman, and settled them in a part of the island which I will proceed to describe. On the side toward the sea, and in the centre of the whole island, there was a plain which is said to have been the fairest of all plains, and very fertile. Near the plain again, and also in the centre of the island, at a distance of about fifty stadia, there were mountains, not very high on any side. Also there were two streams of water under the earth, which he caused to ascend as springs, one of warm water and the other of cold, and making every variety of food to spring up abundantly in the earth. After many thousands of years the descendants became the inhabitants and rulers of diverse islands in the open sea; and also, as has been already said, they held sway in the other direction over the country within the Pillars as far as Egypt and Tyrrhenia. I will now describe the plain, which had been cultivated during many ages by many generations of kings. It was rectangular, and for the most part straight and oblong; and what it wanted of the straight line followed the line of the circular ditch. The depth and width and length of this ditch were incredible and gave the impression that such a work, in addition to so many other works, could hardly have been wrought by the hand of man. But I must say what I have heard. It was excavated to the depth of a hundred feet, and its breadth was a stadium everywhere; it was carried round the whole of the plain, and was ten thousand stadia in length. It received the streams which came down from the mountains, and winding round the plain, and touching the city at various points, was there let off into the sea. From above, likewise, straight canals of a hundred feet in width were cut in the plain, and again let off into the ditch, toward the sea; these canals were at intervals of a Hundred stadia, and by them they brought, down the wood from the mountains to the city, and conveyed the fruits of the earth in ships, cutting transverse passages from one canal into another, and to the city. Twice in the year they gathered the fruits of the earth--in winter having the benefit of the rains, and in summer introducing the water of the canals. As to the population, each of the lots in the plain had an

appointed chief of men who were fit for military service, and the size of the lot was to be a square of ten stadia each way, and the total number of all the lots was sixty thousand. "And of the inhabitants of the mountains and of the rest of the country there was also a vast multitude having leaders, to whom they were assigned according to their dwellings and villages. For many generations, as long as the divine nature lasted in them, they were obedient to the laws, for they possessed true and in every way great spirits, practicing gentleness and wisdom in the various chances of life, and in their intercourse with one another. They despised everything but virtue, not caring for their present state of life, arid thinking lightly on the possession of gold and other property, which seemed only a burden to them; neither were they intoxicated by luxury; nor did wealth deprive them of their selfcontrol; but they were sober, and saw clearly that all these goods are increased by virtuous friendship with one another, and that by excessive zeal for them, and honor of them, the good of them is lost, and friendship perishes with them. "By such reflections, and by the continuance in them of a divine nature, all that which we have described waxed and increased in them; but when this divine portion began to fade away in them, and became diluted too often, and with too much of the mortal admixture, and the human nature got the upperhand, then, they being unable to bear their fortune, became unseemly, and to him who had an eye to see, they began to appear base, and had lost the fairest of their precious gifts; but to those who had no eye to see the true happiness, they still appeared glorious and blessed at the very time when they were filled with unrighteous avarice and power. Zeus, the god of gods, who rules with law, and is able to see into such things, perceiving that an honorable race was in a most wretched state, and wanting to inflict punishment on them, that they might be chastened and improved, collected all the gods into his most holy habitation, which, being placed in the centre of the world, sees all things that partake of generation. And when he had called them together he spake as follows:" [Here Plato's story abruptly ends.]

Chapter 6 The Deluge (the Big Flood) Nabbi Nuh

This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; male and female created he them, and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. And Adam lived a hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image and called his name Seth. And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years, and he begat sons and daughters, and all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years : and he died. And Seth lived a hundred and five years, and begat Enos, and Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters, and all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years, and he died.

 And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan : and Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters : and all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years : and he died. And Cainan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalaleel : and Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight hundred and forty years, and begat sons and daughters : and all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years : and he died. And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared : and Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters : and all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety and five years : and he died. And Jared lived a hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch : and Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters : and all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years : and he died. And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah : and Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters : and all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years : and Enoch walked with God : and he was not ; for God took him. And Methuselah lived a hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech : and Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters : and all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years : and he died. And Lamech lived a hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son : and he called his name Noah [rest or comfort], saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord hath cursed. And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters : and all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years : and he died. And Noah was five hundred years old : and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 6 The Wickedness of Mankind And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair ; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the Lord said, My Spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh : yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years. There were giants in the earth in those days ; and also after that,

when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth ; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air ; for it repenteth me that I have made them a

Plato states that the Egyptians told Solon that the destruction of Atlantis occurred 9000 years before that date, to wit, about 9600 years before the Christian era. This looks like an extraordinarily long period of time, but it must be remembered that geologists claim that the remains of man found in the caves of Europe date back 500,000 years; and the fossil Calaveras skull was found deep under the base of Table Mountain, California, the whole mountain having been formed since the man to whom it belonged lived and died. "M. Oppert read an essay at the Brussels Congress to show, from the astronomical observations of the Egyptians and Assyrians, that 11,542 years before our era man existed on the earth at such a stage of civilization as to be able to take note of astronomical phenomena, and to calculate with considerable accuracy the length of the year. The Egyptians, says he, calculated by cycles of 1460 years--zodiacal cycles, as they were called. Their year consisted of 365 days, which caused them to lose one day in every four solar years, and, consequently, they would attain their original starting-point again only after 1460 years (365 x 4). Therefore, the zodiacal cycle ending in the year 139 of our era commenced in the year 1322 B.C. On the other hand, the Assyrian cycle was 1805 years, or 22,325 lunations. An Assyrian cycle began 712 B.C. The Chaldeans state that between the Deluge and their first historic dynasty there was a period of 39,180 years. Now, what means, this number? It stands for 12 Egyptian zodiacal cycles plus 12 Assyrian lunar cycles. 12 X 1460 = 17,520 = 39,180 12 X 1805 = 21,660

"These two modes of calculating time are in agreement with each other, and were known simultaneously to one people, [p. 30] the Chaldeans. Let us now build up the series of both cycles, starting from our era, and the result will be as follows: Zodiacal Cycle. Lunar Cycle. 1,460 1,805

1,822 712 _____ _____ 2,782 2,517 4,242 4,322 5,702 6,127 7,162 7,932 8,622 9,737 110,082 11,542 11,542

"At the year 11,542 B.C. the two cycles came together, and consequently they had on that year their common origin in one and the same astronomical observation." That observation was probably made in Atlantis. The wide divergence of languages which is found to exist among the Atlanteans at the beginning of the Historical Period implies a vast lapse of time. The fact that the nations of the Old World remembered so little of Atlantis, except the colossal fact of its sudden and overwhelming destruction, would also seem to remove that event into a remote past. Herodotus tells us that he learned from the Egyptians that Hercules was one of their most ancient deities, and that he was one of the twelve produced from the eight gods, 17,000 years before the reign of Amasis. In short, I fail to see why this story of Plato, told as history, derived from the Egyptians, a people who, it is known, preserved most ancient records, and who were able to trace their existence back to a vast antiquity, should have been contemptuously set aside as a fable by Greeks, Romans, and the modern world. It can only be because our predecessors, with their limited knowledge of the geological history of the world, did not believe it possible that any large. part of the earth's surface could have been thus suddenly swallowed up by the sea. Let us then first address ourselves to that question.

Interesting piece of text I found, tuh aja If we seek the origin of these extraordinary coincidences in opinions and habits, we must go far back of the time of the lost tribes. We must seek it in the relationship of the Jews to the family of Noah, and in the identity of the Noachic race destroyed in the Deluge with the people of the drowned Atlantis. Nor need it surprise us to find traditions perpetuated for thousands upon thousands of years, especially among a people having a religious priesthood. The essence of religion is conservatism; little is invented; nothing perishes; change comes from without; and even when one religion is supplanted by another its gods live on as the demons of the new faith, or they pass into the folk-lore and fairy stories of the people. We see Votan, a hero in America, become the god Odin or Woden in

Scandinavia; and when his worship as a god dies out Odin survives (as Dr. Dasent has proved) in the Wild Huntsman of the Hartz, and in the Robin Hood (Oodin) of popular legend. The Hellequin of France becomes the Harlequin of our pantomimes. William Tell never existed; he is a myth; a survival of the sun-god Apollo, Indra, who was worshipped on the altars of Atlantis. Nothing here but it doth change Into something rich and strange." The rite of circumcision dates back to the first days of Phoenicia, Egypt, and the Cushites. It, too, was probably an Atlantean custom, invented in the Stone Age. Tens of thousands of years have passed since the Stone Age; the ages of copper, bronze, and iron bare intervened; and yet to this day the Hebrew rabbi performs the ceremony of circumcision with a stone knife.
