Subject: Obsessions

Salam all. This is an analysis from the Quraan about the verse of 74:31 the main verse of the favourite sura of the followers of RK. They are his followers as long as they follow his counts and his criteria in understanding the Quraan exactly as the sunni followers of their Ulema and Buhari's collections and sellections.

This humble work is the result of a work and studying and analysing of the Quran with both brothers Zlatan and learn quran.

Read and check for yourself.

As salamu aleykum all.

75:16, “Move not thy tongue concerning (the Quran) to make haste therewith.” 75:17, “It is for Us to collect it and to recite it” 75:18, “But when We have recited it, follow thou its recital.” 75:19, “Nay more, it is for Us to explain it.”

This is some of the ayaats in the Quraan that show that the explanations of this marvelous book is within itself. Simply, it is an amazing book. Some one might want to create his own sect depending on a verse that might "imply" what he sees to be an "absolute fact and teaching" but soon this amazing book will show its right teaching and its fight against creating sects. Actually, this has always been within this book completed and perfected by God and if we do not study it and be prepared for all kind of sectarian, misleading teachings, then this can not be God's mistake. Out of His mercy He sent down the book and made it fully detailed and perfected it and if we do not ponder upon it then it is we who are poor and miserable.

More than thirty years ago, a man, who was a sunni, of sufi backgrounds at that time (this speaks about his attitude towards the Quran at that time) when coming across 74:31 stopped and his attention was caught with number 19, the number of the malaika, guardians of the fire (saqar). He might have thought about the idea that this number might carry a significant secret. He started to look for something to relate it to this 19 malaika of the fire.

Some how he started to count the letters of the well-known “basmalah”. He found that the number of the letters in this form of “basmalah” is 19. He started to feel a kind of trance. He went on counting for the rest of his life and the result of these counts is a sect out of which there are many sub-sects who are going far away everyday from God’s message.

It is indeed everybody’s choice to take what (s)he wants for God has granted them that right but it is indeed a duty and honor to strive to show and hold the true teaching of God’s message.

Before going further there is one question regarding these counts of that man supported by his followers:

If God boldly says that 19 is the number of the malaika who are the guardians of the fire saqar, then why should anyone count letters of the Quraan based on number 19 to “authenticate” it. What does the fire, saqar and its guardians have to do with the Quraan ? Is the Quran fire-saqar?

I think this simple and straightforward words of God, that 19 is the number of the malaika, the guardians of saqar fire is enough for anyone who believes in God. GW we will see in this analysis how simple and clear is this verse.

Now let us see the transliteration of this verse:

“wa ma ja&alna as haaban naari ila mala’ikatn wa maja&alna &idatahum ilaa fitnatan liil ladheena kafaro liyasteyqinal ladheena utul kitaaba wa yazdadal ladheena aamanoo imaanan wala yartaabal ladheena utul kitaaba wal mu’minoona wal yaqoolal ladheena fi quloobihim maradun wal kafiroona madha arradal lahu bi hadha mathalan, kadhalika yudilul lahumay yashaa wa yahdi may yashaa wa ma ya&lamu junooda rab bika ila huwa, wa ma hiya ila dhikra lil bashar” 74:31.

As mentioned above and as stated in the verse clearly and boldly, 19 is the number of the malai’ka who are the guardians of the fire.

Then why all this about a simple and straight forwards verse? Why to say that the are the guardians of the Quraan if God says there are the guardians of hell-fire, saqar?

My personal understanding says that it is the ego and our desire to be what God does not intent us to be.

Out of this simple verse a man by the name Rashad Khalifa created a sect out of which many sub-sects are created with a lot of distortions of God’s simple message addressed to mankind.

Let us return to the verse under discussion. The topic of this verse is about those who do not accept the QURAAN as God’s message;

74:11 “dharni waman khalaqtu wa heedan” Leave me alone (to deal) with he who I create as single. 74:12 “wa ja&altu lahu malam mamdooda” and to him I granted property extending. 74:13 “wa baneena shuhooda” and sons present 74:14 “ wa mah hadtu lahu tamheeda” and to him I made (life) smooth and comfortable. 74:15 “ thuma yatma&u an azeeda” yet is he greedy that I should add more. 74:16 “kalla inahu kana li ayatina &aneeda” By no means! For our AYAATS he has been refractory. 74:17 “sa urhiquhu sa&ooda” I will make it hard for him like when climbing. 74:18 “ in nahu fakaara wa qadar” he thought and determined 74:19 “faqutila kayfa qad dar” and woe to him how he determined 74:20 “thuma qutila kayfa qad dar” yea woe to him how he determined!- 74:21 “thuma nazhara” then he reflected. 74:22 “thuma &abasa wa basara” then he frowned and he scowled 74:23 “thuma adbara was takbara” then he returned back and was haughty 74:24 “faqal in hadha ila sihruy yu’thar” then said he: “THIS IS but magic derived from of old 74:25 “ ina hadha ila qawlul bashar” THIS IS BUT UTTERANCE OF A MORTAL. 74:26 “sa uslihi saqar” I will cast him in hell-fire (saqar) 74:27 “wa ma adraaka ma saqar” and do you know what hell-fire is (saqar)? 74:28 “la tubqi wa la tadhar” it leaves nothing it spares no one 74:29 “law wahatun lil bashar” waving to mortals (warning) 74:30 “&aleyha tis&at &ashar” over it are 19.

We can clearly see from the above that God speaks about those who reject His revelations (74:16) as from God and after thinking and re-thinking and evaluating say that there are only a magic derived from old (74:24) and utterance a mortal (74:25).

God promises such with straight forward chastisement in hell fire (74:26) and then goes on describing hell fire (saqar) that it leaves nothing and spares no-one and that it waves to mortals as warning and that over it are 19. What or who are these 19 and what is their function is described in the very next verse.

The quran is FULL with similar warnings and descriptions of the punishment prepared for disbelievers.

Let us first go part by part of this verse and see what is it about.

“wa ma ja&alnaa ashaaban naari ILA MALAI’KATAN, wa ma ja&alna &id datahum ila FITNATAN lil ladheena kafaru.”

I think that the key word in this verse is FITNA.

The word FITNA with its derivatives has more than one meaning in the Quraan. Here are some examples for some of these uses.

It can mean “to mislead/misleading ” as in 7:27

And “discord” as in 3:7

It can mean “test” as in 8:28.

It can mean lesson as in 26:67, 121, 139 and …etc.

And can mean “chastisement or punishment” as in 2:191 and 10:83.

I think that the right meaning of FITNA in this verse is CHASTISMENT/TORMENT. God says that He ordained the number of the malaika for nothing but as chastisement/torment (punishment) for unbelievers.

Through out all the Quraan God promises the unbelievers the hell fire and endless torment and grieve chastisement for their rejections of His clear revelations/ayaats. Punishment is one of the fundamental quranic teachings. We will GW see some of these verses when we come to the word NADHEER in the verse under discussion.

Now, have a look at these verses in the light of this meaning:

“yawma hum &lan naari YUFTANOON, dhuqu FITNATAKUM hadhal ladhi kuntum bihi tukadhiboon” 51:13, 14.

“When they will be on the fire (being) tormented. Taste your torment this is what you asked to be hastened”.

Please notice that the word used here is the same as in 74:31, that is FITNA. It is used here as a verb (YUFTANOON) and a noun (FITNAtakum) your FITNA, taste your FITNA or torment.

Let us have a look at another quranic description of the fire.

“ya ay yuhal ladheena aamanoo, qu anfusakum wa ahleekum naaran waqooduhan nasu wal hijaratu &ALEYHA MALAI’KATAN ghilazhun shidadun la ya&soonal laha ma amarahum wa yaf&aloona ma yu’maroon.” 66:6.

“O you who believe save yourselves and your families from a fire whose fuel is men and stones OVER IT ARE MALAIKA stern and severe who flinch not (from executing) the commands they receive from God but do (precisely) what they are commanded.” 66:6.

Does this remind you of something? Is not this the book whose verses have been fully detailed, oft-repeated and self-explanatory?

More of these verses will come later.

Now back to 74:31. We have seen in the first part that God says that the number of the malaika is for the punishment of unbelievers, that is, 19 malaika are the guardians of the fire where unbelievers will be punished with grieve torment. They could have been any number that the Mighty wishes to be but there will always be those who would ask why 19 and not 25 and so on. I will leave it for those who read this analysis to discuss about the kind of people who put such questions but I think that there is a reference to them in the same verse. Let us go on.

We can see from the Quran that the believers who fear God are very aware of the fact that they will end in hell fire if they do not obey God and live a righteous life. God says about them and their attitude towards the fire;

“wal ladheena min &adhabi rabihim mush fiqoon, ina &adhaba rabihim ghayra ma’moon” 70:27, 28.

“And those who fear the punishment of their Lord. For their Lord’s punishment is not a thing to feel secure from”

Those who believe in the so-called code ask; “How can this increase the faith of the believers” and God inform us of a group of people who asked similar question:

“ wa idha ma unzilat suratun fa minhum may yaqool ayukum dhathu hadhiha imaanan, fa amal ladheena aamanoo fa dhathum imaana wa hum yas tabshiroon” 9:124

Whenever a Sura is sent down some of them ask: “Whose Imaan has this increased?” For those who believe it has surely increased their Imaan and has given them joy”

And what about those whose heart is sick:

“wa amal ladheena fi qulubihim maradun fa zadathum rijsan ila rijsihim wa mato wa hum kafiroon” 9:125.

“And for those whose heart is sick it increases their sickness and they die as rejecters.”

You see, again it is about Quran and those who reject it as such and who mock the message of God asking; “whose Imaan has increased by this”

God says in simple language:

“inamal muminoonal ladheena idha dhukral lahu wajilat qulubuhum wa idha tuliyat &aleyhim ayatihi dhatahum imaanan wa &ala rabihim yatawakaloona” 8:2.

“ For believers are those who, when God is mentioned fell a tremor in their hearts and when his revelations are recited to them find their Imaan strengthened and put all their trust in their Lord”

So, how to understand these people’s question about “how can a quranic verse full of admonition and describing the fate of the rejecters of the truth from God increase the Imaan of the believers?”

Look at these verses:

“ta ha, ma anzalna &aleykal quraana litashqa, ila TADHKIRATAN limay yakhsha tanzeelan mim man khalaqal arda was samawatil &ula” 20:1-4.

“Ta ha, We have not send down the Quraan to thee to be (an occasion) for thy distress. But only as an ADMONITION to those Who fear (God). A sending down (revelation) from Him who created the earth and the heavens on high”

So, generally said admonition is the main reason behind sending down a message. This admonition contains various teachings among which the punishment for those who conceal and reject is one of the fundamental teachings as we have already mentioned.

“wa kadhalika anzlnahu quraanan &arabiyan wa sar rafnaa fihi minal wa&eedi la&alahum yat taqoona aw yuhdithu lahum dhikraa.” 20:113.

“Thus We sent it down, an Arabic Quraan and explained in detail some of the warnings in order that it they may be cautious/fear/be aware or it may cause them to take admonition”

See also this verse:

“nahnu a&lamu bi ma yaqoloona wa maanta &aleyhim bi jab bar fa dhak kir bil quraani may yyakhafa wa&eed” 50:45

“We know best what they say; and you are not to compel them by force, so admonish with the Quraan those who fear my warning”

As we have seen in 20:113 that wa&eed or warning is fully detailed in simple language through out the Quraan itself. There are no secrets nor hidden warnings. Only simple and straightforward warnings such as; “fire whose fuel is men and stone” and “ if they implore relief they will be granted water like melted brass that will scald their faces” (18:29) and “as often as their skins are roasted through We shall change them for fresh skins” 4:56 and many many other warnings and admonitions with fire.

It is almost impossible to go through 5 or 6 verses without coming across a warning about the fire and torment in the hereafter.

So, indeed reading the Quraan and seeing all these warnings, among other things, increases the Imaan of those who believe in the Quraan as from God, who believe in the hereafter.

God says:

“ wa nunazilu minal quraani mafihi shifaun wa rahmatun lil muminoona wa yazeedu zhalieena ila khasaraa. 17:82

“ And We send down of the Quraan that which is a healing and a mercy for the believers: To unjust it causes nothing but loss after loss”

So, believers increase in Imaan whenever they read the Quraan and whenever they read about the punishment of their Lord. They fear the fire as they deeply believe that it is true. It is a result of their pondering upon God’s ayaats all around them and in the glorious Quraan. They just compare the teaching of this book and the reality around them and conclude what is going on.

“ina fi khhalqis samawati wal ardi wakh tilafil leyli wan nahari la ayaatil li ulil albaab. Alladheena yadhkuroonal laha qiyamaw waqu&oodaw wa ya tafak karoona fi khalqis samawati wal ardi. Rab bana ma khalaqta hadha batilan subhanaka fa qina &ABANA NARI. Rab bana inak man tudkhilin nara faqad akhzeytah wamali zhalimeena min ansaar. 3:190-192.

The are familiar with the NAAR in their daily life.

“Behold! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of night and day there are indeed signs for men of understanding. Those who remember God standing and sitting and lying down on their sides and contemplate the creation in the heavens and earth “Our Lord You have not created this in vain Glory be to You. SAVE US FROM THE TORMENT OF THE FIRE. Our Lord, those whom You cast into You will put to eternal shame none will help the transgressors”

So, once they have contemplated over the creation of the heavens and the earth they got the message that this can not be in vain. This life speaks about the hereafter and the deep feel of justice which is within ourselves makes it clear for those who believe that deeds are of a great importance otherwise all this is in vain. They wisely conclude that the creation is not in vain. This is actually what the unbelievers say about it:

“wa ma khalaqna as sama’ wal arda wa ma beynahuma batila, dhalika zhanul ladheena khafaro faweylul liladheena khafaroo minan naar” 38:27.

“We have not created the heavens and the earth in vain, this is the conjecture of the unbelievers so, woe to the unbelievers because of the fire”

So, to return back to our subject although I think that all this is very linked it for it is one of the basic teachings of the Quran as mentioned already.

So, it is clear to any believer and from the Quraan that reading the Quraan indeed increases the Imaan. Reading all this promised torment indeed increases the Imaan of a believer. The same indeed makes the unbelievers and whose heart is sick more arrogant and proud about their arrogance. This can only increase their KUFR and make them ask “what does God intent by this example/symbol”.

It is not only in this case. God informs us that it is typical to them to ask such questions:

“inal laha la yastahi ay yadriba mathalam ma ba&udatan fama fawqaha fa amal ladheena kafaroo faya&lamoona anahul haqu min rab bihim wa amal ladheena kafaroo fa yaquloona madhha aradal lahu bi hadha mathalan. Yudilu bihi kathiran wa yahdi bihi kathiran wa ma yudilu bihi ilal fasiqeena” 2:26.

“God does not disdain from to make a comparison/symbol with a gnat or with a larger (creature). Those who believe know that it is the truth from their Lord and but the unbelievers ask: “what could God mean by this comparison/symbol? By it He confounds many and guides many. But He confounds none except the evil doers”

So, whatever God gives as a symbol or any kind of comparison the reaction of the unbelievers would be “what does God mean by this”. It is a ridiculing attitude towards the message in general. See this verse too:

“wa idh qaloo al lahuma in kana hadha huwal haq qa min &indika fa amtir &aleyna hijaratan minas samaai aw i’itina bi &adhabin aleem” 8:32.

“And when they said “ O God if this is the truth from you then rain down upon us stones from heaven or send some dreadful scourge to punish us”

So, this is the attitude of the unbelievers.

So, believers’ Imaan increase and they do arrive at certainty while reading the ayaats of the Quraan full of truth and admonition. Unbelievers and those whose heart is sick and who generally stand opposite to believers, which is only confirmed in this verse, take the opposite side and do not understand how can this increase an Imaan of a believer. The answer is very simple; For believers the Quraan is “hudan wa shifaa”/ a gudance and a HEALING thing (41:44) and for unbelievers there is a deafness in their ears and “wahwa &aleyhim &aman”/ it (the Quraan) is blindness in their (eyes) (41:44).

Let us now go further GW and see the confirmation of the above in the following verses.

Look at these verses and see how they are manipulated by those who are obsessed by what they call “code 19”.

74:32 “kala wal qamar” No, by the moon. 74:33 “wal leyli idha adbara” and by the night when it retreats 74:34 “was subhi idha asfaar” and by the down when it comes. 74:35 “in naha laihdal kubar” it is one of the greatest. 74:36 “nadheeran lil bashar” a warning to mankind 74:37 “liman sha’ minkam ay yataqadam aw yata’khaar” for those of you who wish to press forward or to remain behind.

Does the above speak about something “hidden”? Is not it clear what all these verses are about? The obsessed coders say it refers to their code. Something that God does not mention at all.

They just look for “INAHu and INAHA”, Arabic pronouns that means IT IS (for male gender neutral and female gender neutral both third person) and say; “inaha refers to the code!!!

Have you ever heard of a pronoun that refers to something that is not mentioned previously at all???

But to avoid this they make a good trick. It goes like this;

“It refers to saqar, but God explains further what is saqar!! He says : “It is exact and precise” and that it is “a screen abvious and clear to mortals”. “law wahatun lil bashar” is “a computer’s screen abvious and clear”!!!

Let us accept this distortion caused by obsession for a while and go further to see the absurd of those who distort God’s simple message.

In 74:26 God says : “sa uslihi saqar” that is I will burn him in hell fire. If we accept his weird understanding then this mean “ I will burn him in the precise and exact, in the computer’s screen obvious and clear to mortals!!!

The absurdity does not stop here.

Look at these verses. Sinners will be asked:

“ma salakakum fi saqar” (74:42) which means “what brought/led you to saqar. If we accept their obsessed understanding then the question is: “ What brought/led you to “the precise and exact”, “a computer’s screen obvious and clear to mortals”!!!

Now see the answer of the sinners:

74:43 “qaloo lam naku minal musaleen’ they said “we were not of those who prayed 74:44 “wa lam naku nut&imul miskeen” and we did not feed the indigent 74:45 “wa kuna nakhudu ma&al kha ideen” and we used to talk vanities with vain talkers. 74:46 “wa kuna nukadhibu biyawmid deen” and we used to deny the Day of judgement.

This a sick logic of an obsessed and sick heart.

Interestingly these verses are few verses from their “main quranic verse”.

Does not this show how obsessed these people are? Does not show that imaginative observations have nothing to do with reality?

The verses from 74:32-36 speak generally about the same issue this Sura mainly deals with, that is, the Quran, the message of God.

This is confirmed with the previous and following context (74:11-25 and 74:37-48)

Here are some similar verses from the Quran with similar oaths:

81:15 “fala uqsimu bil Khun nas” No, by the plantes/stars that recede 81:16 “al jawaril kun nas” that run away and hide 81:17 “wal leyli idha &as&as” by the night when drives off 81:18 “was subhi idha tanaf fas” By the dawn when it breathes. 81:19 “in nahu laqawlu rasoolin kareem” it is indeed an utterance of an honorable messenger. 81:20 “dhi quwatin &inda dhil &arshi makeen” endued with power held in honor by the Lord of the Throne. 81:21 “muta&in thama ameen” with authority and faithful to his trust 81:22 “wa ma sahibukum bi maj noon” and your companion is not one possessed 81:23 “wa laqad ra ahu bil ufuqil mubeen” and he so him in the clear horizon 81:24 “wa mahuwa &alal gheybi bi daneen” and he does not grudge the secrets of the unseen 81:25 “wa mahuwa bi qawli sheytanin rajeem” and it is not the utterance of a sheytan accursed. 81:26 “fa ayna tadh haboon” whither then are you going? 81:27 “in huwa ila dhikrun lil &alemeen” it is but an admonition to all men. 81:28 “liman shaa minkum ay yastaqeem” those of you who wish to go straight.

Can you see the similarity?

Pay attention to the last two verses (81:27, 28). Admonition to those who wish to go straight! That admonition is explained in many verses in the Quran as the general message of the Quraan. We have quoted some of them already and others will GW come very soon.

Now compare these two verses with 74:36, 37. Can not you see the same essence?

Another similar comparison;

56:75 “fala uqsimu bi mawaqi&n nujoom” No, by the setting of the stars. 56:76 “wa in nahu laqasamun law ta&lamoona &azheem” and it is indeed a mighty oath if you but knew it. 56:76 “in nahu la quraan kareem” it is an honorable Quran. 56:77 “fi kitabim maknoon” in a safeguarded book. 56:78 “tanzeelum min rabil &alameen” a sent down form the Lord of the worlds.

Whenever you discuss this issue with the coders they shoot you with 74:49, 50. To frighten those who do not accept the made up of their messenger of covenant (only few of them have checked it and have found many errors but promise to solve them in future studies).

The verses say:

74:49 “famalahum &anit tadhhkirati mu&ridoon” then what is the matter with them that they turn away from admonition? 74:50 “ka anahum humurun mustanfira” as if they were a affrighted asses.

God says: “Why do they reject the admonition/reminder?”

What is admonition/reminder?

As we see in 20:113 that in general term Quran is sent down to mankind as an admonition. The clear message it carries and the clear detailed warnings are enough admonition from God. But some people are not satisfied and want to be given scrolls spread out (74:52)

After seeing 20:113 let us have a look at these verses that mention the admonition;

76:29 “in na hadhihi tadhkiratan fam shaa itakhada ila rabihi sabeela” this is verily an admonition whoever will let him take a straight path to his Lord.

What is this admonition here? Does it refer to a code?

It simply refers to the context and the principles mentioned in the sura itself and repeated all over the Quraan.

See the previous verses before 74:49.

74:38 “kulu nafsin bu ma kasabat raheena” each soul is the hostage of its own deeds. 74:39 “except those on the right hands” 74:40 “fi jan natiy yatasa aloon” in gardens ask 74:41 “ &anil mujrimeen” about the sinners. 74:42 “ma salakum fi saqar” what led you into hell fire. 74:43 “qaloo lam naku minal musaleen’ they said “we were not of those who prayed 74:44 “wa lam naku nut&imul miskeen” and we did not feed the indigent 74:45 “wa kuna nakhudu ma&al kha ideen” and we used to talk vanities with vain talkers. 74:46 “wa kuna nukadhibu biyawmid deen” and we used to deny the Day of judgement. 74:47 “hata atanal yaqeen” till the inevitable end overtook us. 74:48 “fa ma tanfa&uhum shafa&atu shafi&een” no intercessor’s plea shal save them

And then goes:

74:49 “famalahum &anit tadhhkirati mu&ridoon” then what is the matter with them that they turn away from admonition? 74:50 “ka anahum humurun mustanfira” as if they were a affrighted asses.

Do you see in the above reasons mentioned in 74:43-45. Any codes?

Is not clear that admonition in 74:49 again simply refers to the general principles mentioned in the previous verses?

In 73:19 few verses from their main verse, God uses the same word:

73:19 “ in na hadhihi tadhkiratun faman shaa it takhdha ila rab bihhi sabeela” This is an admonnition, therefore whoso will, let him take a (straight) path to his Lord.

Are there any codes here or again the admonition is set clearly in the verses before and after and all over the Quran. See again 20:113.

Another verses from the Glorious Quran, a book that detailed everything.

80:11 “kal la in naha tadhhkira” No, it is indeed an admonition. 80:12 “faman shaa dhakarah” let him who will bear it in mind. 80:13 “fi suhufim mukarama” set down on honored pages

The same issue as in all previous verses. It is clearly seen that all this verses speak about the same essence.

Please look at this simple plain talk:

87:9 “fa dhak kir in nafa&idh dhikraa” therefore admonish in case the admonition profits (the heaer) 87:10 “sa yadh dhakkaru may yakhsha” he will heed who fears. 87:11 “wayatajan nabuhal ashqaa” the most unfortunate will avoid it (the admonition) 87:12 “al ladhi yaslan naaral kubraa” who will enter the great fire. 87:13 “thuma layamootu fiha wala yahya” in which he will neither die nor live 87:14 “but he will prosper who purifies himself. 87:15 “wadhakras am rabibihi fasala” and remembers the name of His Lord and prays.

So, to summarize the above. The Quran is sent as admonition in general (20:113). What does this mean?

Well, that which constitutes the Quraan is its contests, the message that is inside of it. The compact teaching that it carries. Warnings are one of the basic pillars of its teaching. It is full of admonitions (38:1). These admonitions are detailed as we have seen and as we can see in the Quran.

Sura 74 is no exception. We read the same story about a one who does not accept he Quran as the message from God and calls it magic of old and utterance of a mortal and or shaytan’s revelations and so on and how God promises them fire (torment) for their rejection. This idea, as mentioned, is all over the Quran. See for instance, (23:93-118, and 69:25-52)

It is simple and general admonition for all times. Those who read it in the past got it very simply ‘’fire for the unbelievers and rejecters”. In all times those who believe will benefit from this simple admonition without having to calculate more than 40 000 letters and their Imaan will increase if they get the admonition. Unbelievers, who will never accept the Quran (the compact teaching not the papers and the letters) and those whose heart is sick will ask “What God wants with this symbol/comparison” as they always react to God’s plain words.

At that time a sunni of a sufi background (sufi = hunters of secrets in the Quran) concluded that there was a secret behind this verse. God says “guardians of hell-fire” he said “guardians of the Quraan”. He had “increased” his Imaan and the Imaan of many followers by his own calculations presented as Divine.

He had done a lot of distortion to the simple message of God. The message that has been leading to the right path since God willed to be revealed, by God’s grace and mercy because of its simplicity and its illustrating of the whole reality.

I have heard of people who count and try to discover how many sheytans can stand on the top of a needle and that is all right if this can satisfy their “spirituality’. But when they want to represent this as a “divine fact from God” then there is a problem with their ego. They just do not want their “discovery” to pass away as subjective and human.

I know about people who have been increasing the Imaan of others by some writings and formulas made of some quranic verses and given to those who need it. These healers say that God says in the Quran that the Quran contains a healing for what is in the chests (10:57, 17:82) and that once God says “minal quraan” which means “of the Quran” then this means that NOT EVRYONE is capable to know which verses of it are to heal those who need to be healed. Those people who go and ask to be healed “believe” in the Quran once they ask to be healed with it. The most “amazing” thing is that "it works!"? And "it increases" their Imaan!! If you check this new dogma and teaching in the Quran itself we see that it is but a sum of “implies”.

Remember that there is no mention of the word “aya” in this verse at all. No mention of MIRACLE at all, and indeed no mention of any codes or calculations that authenticate anything.

All these are “implies” and nothing more. Remember that “implies” can not constitute any teaching but sects (3:7). Only decisive verses can be the basis of the book and not the mutashabihat which stand as opposite to muhkamat in this verse (3:7).

It is good to read as much as possible from the Quran and to be close to its simple teaching ‘One God, dedicated life for Him, by doing this we go up and purify our souls, a lot of good deeds with the deep knowledge that all belongs to God. Thinking about the fire and its torment. Waw, endless fire??? And again a lot of good deeds and lot of remembrance of God in all our relations.

That is it simple and logic message to “ulul albaab” who know that all that which is around them and their being here is not in vain.

“ wa qulil haqu min rab bikum fa man shaa fal yuimin wa man shaa fal yakfur. Ina a&tadna lizhalimeena naran ahata bihim suradiquha wa in yathta ghisoo yughasoo bi main kal muhl yashwil wujooh. Bi’sa shraabu wa saat murtafaqa” 18:29.

“ Say; “This is the truth from your Lord. Let him who will, believe in it and him who will deny it. For the wrongdoers We have prepared a fire which will encompass them like the walls of a pavilion. When they cry out for help they shall be showered with water as hot as molten brass, which will scald their faces. Evil shall be their drink, dismal their resting-place.”

As simple as this. No codes no calculations.
