On the Ultimate Origin and Purpose of Scripture

"The Secrets of God Hidden in Scriptures are Now Being Revealed"

By Jabril Muhammad

 

Why should we bother with the Bible and the Holy Qur'an at all?  Just why should we read them?  What good are they?

There are many people who see these books as inconveniences.  They see those who study them as impractical.  Therefore, they see the views and findings of the students of the scriptures as irrelevant to the essential needs and problems of the real world.  Are these views justified?

Much has been spoken and written about the origin of the Bible.  There has been a huge amount of material about this book placed before the public as great learning.  In fact, much of it is speculation.

There is less guessing and confusion about the Holy Qur'an.  Nevertheless, the world has not known the real truth of the reality of its origin, the ultimate aim and purpose of Allah in revealing it, or its ultimate relationship to the Bible...until today.

This ought not be strange, especially to the scholars.  They should be more aware than most of the implications [of the fact] that the answers to such questions could not come before the end of Satan's time to rule, which is today.

Experts: Who are they and why to we consult them?  The dictionaries generally define an expert as a person who has a special or high degree of skill or knowledge in a particular subject or field of activity.  Experts are people who have demonstrated great knowledge, skill, dexterity, competence, capability and like, as the result of wide learning, training and experience.

We all make use of the talents, knowledge, experience and training of all kinds of experts every day – truck drivers, airline pilots, farmers, barbers, seamstresses, various kinds of scientists – the list is as wide as the activities of humanity itself.

Seeking others who know what we don't is the universal experience of humanity.  This is rooted in the way Allah has created us interdependent; but all are dependent on Him.  Now, what is the expertise of a man who can accurately and consistently see 500... 1,000... 5,000... 10,000... even 25,000 years in advance?  Suppose you were that type of person.  To start, what kind of parents would you need?  In what manner would you have to be raised to acquire all that would be required to gain this kind of power?  What would you have to know?  What skills would have to be developed in you?  How?  How would you have to live?  What kind of person would you have to be?

Suppose you could tell either what events were unconditionally going to occur, and the rest of the possible outcomes of events, thousands of years in advance.  Would you be an expert?  What kind?

Would you mix with the rest of humanity?  How much contact would you have with other people?  How would you handle yourself around the rest of us?

Suppose you very deeply cared about those you foresaw living thousands of years after your time.  Suppose you saw that they would need guidance and you wanted to provide it.  Without getting into the "why" of their (future) needs, how would you get that guidance to them?  How would they recognize and be benefited by the wisdom of your insights?  Would not someone have to make known your wisdom to them?  How would that person obtain your wisdom?  Would not this involve continuity or a flow of your wisdom from your time until the time of that future person and people?  Could the flow of your wisdom reach them in any way other than through other people who live after you?  How helpful would a permanent record of your wisdom be in accomplishing your aim of helping that unborn generation?  Does not this involve the process of writing?

Now, reasonable people would agree that, at least, the top mathematicians, chemists, physicists, astronomers and biologists, are among those who would rightly be called experts in their fields.  They are also called scientists.  More often than not, these top people, called experts, or even scientists, are specialists in certain areas of human activities.  They are specialists in one or maybe a few other fields.

However, one would have to be grounded and proficient in a far greater number of the fields of knowledge [to not only] see, but to determine the outcome of events, day by day, year by year, for thousands of years... in advance.

Have there ever been such people on this earth?  Well, it is an undisputed and well-known fact that there are structures throughout this earth, which were built long ago by those with wisdom and technology that was far superior to what is known by the scientists of this world.

These structures, including the famous pyramids, were built before this world came into power.  How can we ever know the wisdom of those who built what they did?  Are there any persons – who are descendants of those ancient scientists – who have their knowledge?  Caucasian scholars have stated on TV that, to them, it is as if humanity went to sleep and woke up suffering from amnesia; having forgotten what those ancient scientists accomplished, what they did, and how.

The phrase "the unseen" is often used in the Holy Qur'an by its Author, Allah.  On the surface of its meaning, the use of the word "unseen" does not mean incapable of being seen or known and understood.  Now, does this term – "unseen" – have a connection to the Original source of the Bible and Holy Qur'an?  Yes.

It is a fact that the Holy Qur'an, which many of us have and read, contains clear statements by its Author, that it is from another Book.  The Original of the text of the Holy Qur'an, which many millions of us have in our homes throughout the earth, came from a larger text or book.

Where is that larger Book?  Who has it?

This other Book, this larger Book – so states the Author of the present book called Holy Qur'an that we read – is "safe" and "with Us."  Who are They Who refer to Themselves as "We" and "Us," as well as "Allah"?  Why did They use the word "safe"?

The word "safe" means "secure from danger, harm, or evil; free from danger or injury; unhurt; free from risk; sure; affording protection."

FROM WHOM are They keeping this book "Safe," which They call the Mother of the Book?  Did They write this larger Book up in the Sky?  If God is up in the sky, in heaven, what is also up there that is so dangerous that He has to take precautions against this enemy from whom He must protect this particular Book?

Are these – Who refer to Themselves as "We" and "Us" – the Original Writers of the Holy Qur'an?  Are They the "exalted assembly," who punish those called "Satans" when they try to steal a hearing from Them?

Is this exalted assembly up in heaven in the sky?  If this is where God, or the "We" or "Allah" is, how did the Satans get up there?

Is there a relationship between the exalted assembly, mentioned in the Holy Qur'an, and the 24 elders described in the fourth chapter of the book of Revelation?   If so, what is it?  Are the 24 elders of the fourth chapter of Revelation also the 24 Scientists of Whom the Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us were the original writers of the Mother of the Book?

If the "We" and the "Us" of the Bible and the Holy Qur'an are the same, then we can see that the ultimate relationship between these two books justifies the Honorable Elijah Muhammad's position that these (Bible and Holy Qur'an) are not two enemy books, when properly understood.

That understanding was brought to us by One Who is the Son of One of the 24 Scientists and is the Son of Man, of Whom Jesus spoke 2,000 years ago, Who would come to us (who are here in the West) from the East.

That Man visited this country, not long ago.  At first, He used the name "Mr. W. D. Fard," and went under a disguise so He would not have to destroy the ignorant.  He taught and trained one of us – the Honorable Elijah Muhammad – to be like Him.  The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan represents the latter and is backed by Both of them, and is well on the way towards becoming like them.

Is Master Fard Muhammad the answer to the expected 12th or Hidden Imam of the Shia Muslims, as well as the Great Mahdi of the Sunni Muslims?  If both titles refer to ultimately the same Man, and since He guided the Man – the Honorable Elijah Muhammad – Who is Minister Farrakhan's Teacher, we have an interesting basis for eventual unity.

If we properly understand Minister Farrakhan's mission, which was written of in the scriptures, we'll agree he is a divine synthesizer, composer, consolidator, whose task includes redeeming the redeemable; the number of which is vast.  His tasks include demonstrating that the Torah of the Jews, the Gospels of the Christians, and the Qur'an of the Muslims, the divine verifiable truths of all of what is called religion, everywhere, is one and the same religion.

Thus, in this mighty Black man (as in Black people, once we rise from our graves of ignorance), God has laid the basis for that which can eventually unite all human beings of good will...
