Born in Egypt in 1935, he developed a computer-based mathematical analysis of the text of the Quran. Using this method, he completed his translation of the Quran while he was Imam of the Masjid Tucson, (Tucson, AZ). This garnered much criticism and discourse. He was assassinated in 1990 under the same fatwah as was issued against the British author Salman Rushdie (Submission). Seller Inventory # 046990

Synopsis:

English, Arabic (translation)

From the Publisher: As expected from the Creator's final message, one of the prominent themes in the Quran is the call for unity among all believers, and the repeated prohibition of making any distinction among God's messengers. If the object of worship is one and the same, there will be absolute unity among all believers. It is the human factor, i.e, devotion to such powerless humans as Jesus, Muhammad, and the saints that causes division, hatred, and bitter wars among the misguided believers. A guided believer is devoted to God ALONE, and rejoices in seeing any other believer who is devoted to God ALONE, regardless of the name such a believer calls his or her religion.

As detailed in Appendix 2, the publication of this book marks the advent of a new era-the era where God's messages, delivered by all His prophets, are consolidated into one. God's one and only religion, Islam, shall dominate all other religions(9:33, 48:28, and 61:9). Today's corrupted religions, including Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, will simply die out, and the true Islam will prevail. This is not wishful thinking; this is God's inviolable law as decreed in 3:19, 41:53, and Sura 110.

This book comes to you with built-in physical evidence that it is God's message to you; it is mathematically composed far beyond human capability.(See Appendix 1).
