What does the Quran say about Allah?
Does the Quran teach that God is a man?
The very first thing that we should take note of is that the Quran and the Bible from the front to the back
speaks of God, in the pronoun He. If we take a simple English lesson, we know that he is a pronoun, a pronoun is a word used
to indicate without naming such as you, it, they, we, your, this, or whose; a word used instead of a noun. A noun is a word
that represents a person, place, thing or idea. The word idea has been added to the definition only recently, nevertheless
an idea has to come from a person. Then we must reason with ourself as to the fact of why would the scholars and prophet speak
of God as He? If God Is not a man, then why did the prophets some who did see God , address God as He. If take for
example God were a spook, they would have to have said, it, because a spook, spirit or formless thing would have no gender.
In what category would we have to place God according to the meaning of pronoun and noun ? Would He be a Person, place or
thing? This is the first thing we should look at as reasoning beings. Of course we would have to place God in the category
of a Person.
What does he Quran teach us about God?
Sura 28v88 states, "And call
not, besides God ,
On another god. There is No god but
He.
Everything (That exists) will perish,
Except His own Face
(Question: Could a spook or spirit have a face?)
To Him belongs the Command
And
to Him will ye
(All) be brought back.
Question: Why is the Quran telling us that
all things will perish except the Real Face of God? The Quran is letting us know that all things that man had taken for god
will perish before the True and living God. This is the reason why the capital and small g's are used in God, and god
to show that one God is the real or proper God, making a distinction between God and the false things that man has taken for
gods. A proper noun is always capitalized, and a common noun is usually left in lower case. A Proper noun names
a particular person, place or thing, a common noun does not name a particular person place of thing.
The Scholar states in the foot note 4321: AYA Holy Quran, Please make sure that you refer to an older Quran because
the total foot note or part of it has been removed from the newer Quran's.
The first thing which the
Scholar make clear is that this verse sums up the whole lesson to the Sura, in the following words:
1. This sums
up the lesson of the whole Sura.
The Question that should be asked at this point is; What is the lesson that was taught
in this Sura?
2. Next the Scholar states: The Only Reality is God.
What does the word reality mean:
According to the dictionary the word means: Actual existence 2. someone or something real or actual, The characteristic of
being true to life or to fact.
The root of the word which is the word real , means not artificial, deceptive, seeming
or false, not imaginary. This is to teach us that the real God is not something the man has made up. The Real God does not
come from the imagination of men, but is a Being. Not a spook or sticks and stones carved by the hand of man. The Proper
God is a Actual Being, real to life. Reality means real not false of imagined or made up. The Supreme Being is Real. The True
and the Living God for this Time in which we are living is Master Fard Muhammad.
3. The Scholar teaches us that
we should seek God in these words: His "Face" or Self, Personality or Being is what we should seek..... Can
we see a formless thing, a spook? Can we see a spirit of Good? Can a statue be made from that which can not be seen or that
which has never been seen? A statue is a object made is the likeness of something or someone.
The Scholar goes on further to let us know that he is telling us that God is Real when he states His "Face" or Self.
What does he mean by "Face or Self"?
First let us make another point clear, when the scholar tells us
to seek. The word seek means to look for, search for, to try to discover, to resort to, to make a search or inquiry, to acquire
or gain knowledge of, or find out.
It would appear from the definition of the word seek, the scholar was telling
us to look, study and learn the lesson on the Reality of God. To look for His Face. To learn of His Self.
The
word Self means: Having a single character or quality throughout, a person regarded as an individual apart from everyone else.
Therefore this would lead us to believe that the scholars want us to understand the true nature or character of God, apart
from what we believe about God or have been taught about God. God has a real Self or Person.
In the foot note another
word to describe God is, Personality. The scholar tells us to seek Gods' Personality. The word personality means: The
state of being a person, the emotional and behavioral characteristics of a person. The word Personality let us know that the
scholars understands that God is a Person, and when he uses the Pronoun He, Him, His all of these Pronouns refer to the Male
gender, letting us know further that God is a Man. Not a mere man, but the Supreme Being.
4. The note continues
with the words: or Being is what we should seek, knowing that it is the only enduring thing of which we can have any conception.
We are now told to seek the Being again the word being means: Life, Existence, the totality of existing things,
a living thing, Esp: a Person. We can not just make God out of a thing, this would take away from His Superior Nature, this
would make His less than we are, less than a Thinking, Reasoning Being. A thing is anything that you make it, an article or
object or entity not precisely designated or capable of being designated. How could we say that a thing is God if we can not
understand it in some way. When we do not understand an object, article, or entity etc., we might call it a thing until we
can get some understanding of what it is. We would not use the pronoun he, we would more than likely call the thing
it. Neither this nor that. The Scholars tells us that to understand God is the only Reality, His Self, Personality,or Being.
If we will not or can not search to understand God the Scholar tell us: "e;Knowing that it is the only enduring thing
of which we can have any conception." God remains the Same when all other things change and pass away. The Goodness,
the Personality, the Self, is the only constant that we have in Life. We are told that the understanding of God is the only
way we can understand our True Self. The word used by the scholar is conception: meaning thought, notion, idea, act
of forming an idea or thought, the originating of something in the mind.
5. The whole phenomenal world is subject
to flux and change and will pas away, but HE will endure for ever. The Personality of God, can never be destroyed. The Nature
of Good can never be destroyed. Everything is made from the Love of God, and this energy can never be destroyed it only transforms.
Therefore when the forces of evil think that they can destroy all the Good, the God of Rightness has created, they themselves
are destroyed.
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us; " This is the day and time that you should
know God. There are two on the scene at the present time: An evil God and a good God. When we say "e;Allah"e;
that Name means God and covers all Muslims. All Muslims are Allah's, but we call the Supreme Allah the Supreme Being.
And He has a Name of His Own. This Name is "e;Fard Muhammad."e; ( This name describes the Personality of the
One Self, or Supreme Being, Allah ). His name tell us what Allah is being sought. "e;Fard is the Name meaning an independent
One and One who is not on the level with the average Gods (Allah's). It is a Name independent to itself which actually
means One whom we must obey, or else He destroys us. This honorable, Majestic, Person comes in the last day. The reason why
we call Him the Supreme Being is because He is Supreme over all beings and or is wiser than all. The Holy Quran teaches: He
is wiser than them , meaning all the Gods before and all who are now present. Remember, Allah means Gods. Many Muslims go
in this name. All Muslims go in the Divine Supreme Being of Names from Him. The meaning of these names are of Himself. The
Bible teaches you and me that He would give us His Own Names, and this, we are receiving."
Under
the same foot note the Quran teaches us in the words: "If we think of an impersonal God , an abstract force of good,
we cannot reconcile it with the vital Self or Being, of which we have a faint echo or reflection in our intensest moments
of spiritual exaltation."e; The Quran teaches us by the Wisdom of the Scholars, if we think of an impersonal God an
abstract force of good,... The word impersonal mean not connected with a person or being, or referring to all or any
person, not to any special one. This is why the Honorable Elijah Muhammad told us about the meaning of the word Allah, and
why the Supreme Being, has a Name that make a distinction between all of the other Muslims that go in the Name of Allah. Therefore
we cannot think of God as not being a person or an abstract thing or what ever we make Him to be, He is Real. The word abstract
means: apart from any object (the spook or the spirit gods), apart from being real and very hard to understand, difficult.
Also it means to take away from: Iron is abstracted from ore. Steel is iron mixed with carbon so that it is very hard, strong
and tough. The God, Yakub got the idea of making an evil God, from playing with two pieces of steel. Ore is the mineral or
rock found in the earth. Yakub made his man from the original substance, or from the original Creation. There are two Gods
on the scene today One made from the Original and the other God is the Original Man. We cannot make something Real by
using abstract measures. In order to make something Real we must use the Whole of the Original.
The Quran goes on further to teach us that if we make God abstract we could not understand our own Vital Self. Vital means:
of, relating to or characteristics of life: showing the qualities of living things, concerned with or necessary to the maintenance
of life, of first importance or essential. To understand God, means to understand the first importance of Life and your connection
to your continued existence. If we do not or can not understand the principal or law which God has made for us to follow then
we will do the things that bring us death. The wages of sin is death, because it goes against the Mind of God, or the laws
He set forth Vital to Life. We must understand God in the sense that we study His Personality and learn to become as close
as we can to God. Not just in Name, but in action and thought.
The note states that if we look at God as something
so impersonal or abstract. How can we reconcile it with our own Real Nature or Self which is the only Reality? The whole world
is under an illusion, they do not understand the Only Reality, the Goodness and the Law which brings Peace and Love.
The
word reconcile means: to make friendly again, reconcile friends who have quarreled, to settle, adjust, to make agree,
to show fact to solve a problem, to cause to submit or accept.
The Scholar tells us that the confusion in the
world with the human population is that they do not know God. They do not know themselves and their relationship to God. They
have not taken the time to study or to seek the True about God, Who or What He Really Is. Because without an understanding
of God, we cannot understand our Self. The scholar tells us that if we make God other than what is Real we are lost. "e;
We know then that what we call our own Self has no meaning, for there is only one true Self, and that is God."e; Study
Note 3421 AyA.
There are some Muslims who do not believe that God is a Man. They teach that the Most Honorable
Elijah Muhammad and his followers practice shirk. According to the Holy Quran: Sura 112 The Unity or The Purity of Faith,
teaches us about the practice of shirk: In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
1. Say: He Allah is One
2. Allah is He on Whom all depend
3. He begets not, nor is He begotten:
4. And none is like Him
*Again the
pronoun He, Him and One is used to refer to God, Allah.
Note 4a MMA Quran
This, is a very early Makkan revelation,
points out the fundamental errors of many religions, including Christianity, in its four short sentences. The first
verse proclaims the absolute Unity of the Divine Being, and deals a death-blow to all forms of polytheism, including the doctrine
of the Trinity.
In the second verse Allah is said to be Samad, which the Holy Prophet is reported
to have explained as meaning the Lord to Whom recourse is had in every need, so that all have need of Him and He has need
of none. This statement negatives the doctrine according to which soul and matter are co-eternal with God and God stands
in need of them to bring about creation. The doctrine prevails in India, and could not have been known to the Holy Prophets.
The third verse points out the error of those religions which describe God as being father or son, such
as the Christian religion.
The fourth verse negatives such doctrines as the doctrine of incarnation,
according to which a mere man is likened to God.
The four kinds of shirk
are rejected here, a belief in the plurality of gods ( v 1), a belief that other things possess the perfect attributes of
the Divine Being(v. 2,), A belief that God is either a father or a son (V.3), and a belief that others can do that which is
ascribable only to God.
THE HONORABLE ELIJAH MUHAMMAD NEVER TAUGHT ANY OF THE ABOVE DOCTRINES.
He taught
us of One God. He taught us that the One God was and Is Supreme and not a mere man turned into God. He taught us against the
Trinity. We were never taught Anthropomorphism where things other than human are made to be human. Anthropomorphism means:
Attribution of human feelings to things not human. Attribution of human characteristic to inanimate objects,animals, or natural
phenomena. A close study of the Teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad will show that He taught the Truth of the Bible
and the Holy Quran.
Sura 112 v.3 He begets not, nor is He begotten: This verse speak of the First God that Created
Himself out of Triple Darkness without the Help of Anyone. Beget means to bring into existence, with the aid of a mother and
father. There was only the One in the Beginning. So says the Holy Quran and the Bible.
Science: God is
a Supreme scientist
Science have proven that there are living forms of life that can and does reproduce in ways
other than using two parents. Scientist know of the reproduction known as asexual reproduction: Where the organism
have no apparent evident sex or sex organs or it relates to, production by, or involving reproduction without the union of
male and female gametes, as in the binary fission or binary fussion to produce One.
Teaching
of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad on the First God:
" How came the Black God, Mr. Muhammad? He is Self-created.
How could Self create Self? Take your magnifying glass an start looking at these little atoms out here in front of you.
You see that they are egg-shaped and they are oblong. (This is the egg and the sperm). You crack them open and you will
find everything in them that you find out here. ( You find the energy that produced every living and so called non-living
thing in the universe.) " Then were there some of them (atoms out here?) Well who created them? (This was the
time in which the Scientist call prehistory. Prehistory means a time before history was written. An unwritten history that
leads up to the events or situations.) How could that atom make a record of its own creation? It could not write its own creation,
the record of it, because He was the First; there was no recorders around Him. He was First to record His Own-self."e;
He was the only One in the whole universe.& quot; Then when more humans were created in His Image and was given the knowledge
they recorded the time of their begotten or birth.
The Quran teaches: Sura 68:1 (The Pen) AYA.
Nun: By the
Pen and by the (Record)
Which (men) write
Note: 5593 AYA & quote; The Pen and the Record are the symbolical
foundation of the Revelations to man."e; (Revelation is God talking to man, giving him knowledge, guidance and Truth.)&
quote; The adjuration by the Pen disposes of the flippant charge that Allah's Messenger was mad or posed. For he spoke
words of power and knowledge, not incoherent, but full of meaning , and though the Record of the Pen, that meaning unfolds
itself, in innumerable aspects to countless generations. Muhammad was the living Grace and Mercy of Allah, and his very nature
exalted him above abuse and persecution."e; With all of the Knowledge Allah had given him, he remained humble
and loyal to Allah.
Holy Quran: Sura 96:1-8
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
1.
Read in the name of thy Lord Who creates
2. Creates man from a clot
3. Read and
thy Lord is most Generous
4. Who taught by the pen
5. Taught man what he knew not
6.
Nay, man is surely inordinate
7. Because he looks upon himself as self-sufficient.
8. Surely to they Lord is the
return
