The Quran proclaims One Religion for All the People
This Final Testament consolidates all the messages delivered by all of God's messengers into one global message. Henceforth, there is only one religion that is approved by God.
Islam is not a name. It is a description: "Total submission to God-worshiping God, and devoting the worship absolutely to Him ALONE."
Anyone who meets this criterion is a "Muslim". Thus, you may
be a Muslim Jew, a Muslim Christian, a Muslim Buddhist, a Muslim Hindu, or a Muslim Muslim.
Surely, those who are Jewish, the Christians, and the converts; anyone who (1) believes in God, (2) believes in the Last Day, and (3) leads a righteous life, will receive their recompense from their Lord; they have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.(2:62,5:69)
On the 27th night of Ramadan of the year 13 B.H.(Before Hijra) (610 A.D.), the prophet Muhammad was summoned to the highest possible point, millions of light years from the planet earth, and this Quran was placed into his heart(2:185,17:1,44:3,53:1-18,&97:1).
Subsequently, the Quran was released into Muhammad's memory, with Gabriel's mediation, over a period of 23 years, 610 to 632 A.D.(see 17:106).
At the moment of release, Muhammad scrupulously wrote it down with his own hand-it has been divinely guarded ever since then(see Appendices 1 and 28).
We consider God the author but I will write a bit about Rashad here since he was the translator.
Sam Khalifa
Rashad Khalifa graduated from the college of Agriculture in Cairo, Egypt with a degree of honor and obtained a scholarship to complete his graduate studies in the United States. He received a Ph.D. in biochemistry and became a successful scientist. In 1968 he realized that the existing English translations of the Quran did not present the truthful message of God's Final Testament. When he saw the truth distorted by others he decided to translate the Quran himself.
Rashad discovered a unique phenomenon never found in any human authored book and provides the world with built-in proof of divine authorship- a superhuman mathematical composition based on the #19. God describes it as one of the greatest miracles in chapter 74. It is simple to understand but impossible to imitate.
Dr. Khalifa completed and published his first English translation of the Quran in 1981. In 1988 Rashad announced that he was a messenger of God and that the deliverance of the miracle#19 was his proof. He published his second edition of the Quran in 1989. This was a 1981 revised edition and contained all the findings discovered about the #19 from 1981-1989. The 1989 edition is characterized by exposing and removing two false verses discovered in the Quran. Verses 9:128&129 were exposed as false by the miracle of Quran(#19) and removed.
On January 31,1990 Rashad Khalifa was killed in a mosque he established in Tucson, Az. We learn from the Quran that many of the prophets and messengers, including Jesus, were granted the most honorable exit of martyrdom. The Quran repeatedly states that the disbelievers will always try to put out God's light , but God insists on perfecting His light. "He is the One who sent His messenger with the guidance and religion of truth, and will make it dominate all other religions despite the idol-worshippers."(9:33).
