"Allah Will Not Address Them"
"It is true that there is plenty of material in the Koran that is more egalitarian than the western Christian tradition, which was heavily influenced by the misogyny of Greek thought. Perhaps the most fundamental is that the Islamic God does not have a gender. Arabic may refer to him by use of the male pronoun, but he is never described as "father" or "lord" as he is in the Judeo-Christian tradition. Indeed, the Islamic God has characteristics that are expressly feminine; one of his most important "names" is al-Rahman (the All-Compassionate) from the Arabic rahma , which comes from the word rahim, meaning womb. In Islamic mysticism, the divinely beloved is female." - The Guardian, Dec. 8, 2001
Surah 2:174-176
Those who conceal Allah's revelations in the Book,
And purchase for them a miserable profit -
They swallow into themselves naught but Fire:
Allah will not address them on the Day of Resurrection, nor purify them:
Grievous will be their Penalty.
They are the ones who buy Error in place of Guidance,
And Torment in place of Forgiveness.
Ah! What boldness (they show) for the Fire!
surah 2:174-176 Al Baqarah (The Cow)
(Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an, Amana Corporation, 1989), p. 724.)
"Allah Will Not Address Them"
The chapter in the Qur'an on Qiyamah, or Resurrection, is perhaps the most important Revelation to humans. In it lies the Absolute Reality of Resurrection. All seekers of Truth have to thoroughly understand this 1,400 year-old prophecy with all its clear Sure Signs as each and every human, irrespective or race, religion, creed or ignorance is unconditionally subject to it. No non-Muslim will escape this Will of Allah by seeking shelter behind their favorite deities or godlings. This Call and Command of God Almighty and His Spirit is unconditional and leaves no avenue to plead ignorance. Even mere reading of these lines subjects you to its penalties. The very fact that you are aware, no matter how remotely, binds you irrevocably to the fact that the Warning was delivered!
However, there is another reason that His Message and all related information be thoroughly cross-examined as it confirms that another Quranic prophecy will also be fulfilled: On 28 February 1990 Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, on Her way to Australia, stopped at Changi Airport, Singapore. She informed the Sahaja Yogis who had gathered to meet Her that "in Islam there was a complete surah written about Her. In this surah it was stated that the Sent One will give Realization, will make you Pirs and give Collective Consciousness. But you will be non-believers." (Divine Cool Breeze Revelations 1989-90, Vishwa Nirmala Dharma, p. 141.) The surah She refers to is Al Qiyamah (The Resurrection)!
Over the centuries the Thieves of Truth—ulama, imams, ayatollahs, amirs, caliphs, mu'attilah, aalims, mujtahids, mullahs and muftis—numbering in the hundreds and thousands first molested, then raped, and finally mutilated the revelation of Al-Qiyamah beyond recognition - disfiguring it so horribly that the Ummah till today still recoils at it in fear and terror - before leaving it pregnant with distortion, delusion and deceit. From the wanton seed of their unforgivable collective orgy was born the satanic lie that the wrath of Allah will descend suddenly on humankind without warning, and punish the sinners in a murderous rage of death and destruction - thus fulfilling Iblis' promise to Allah that he will mislead Adam's descendents till the Day of Resurrection:
And the non-Believers will be the entire Muslim community who, even after being explicitly accused of mutilating the Revelation of Al-Qiyamah, will still collectively reject what is written in black and white in their own Qur'an! They will be the greatest hypocrites in the eyes of Allah because for all their professed religiosity and shedding of so much blood to protect the Quran, they will defy its very heart and soul. Only the most satanic and blasphemous will deny and defy the Good News of Al-Qiyamah!
There is a Century of Spiritual Death approaching. Beware, Ummah, beware!

"conceal 1 to put out of sight, hide 2 to keep from another's knowledge; keep secret

Questions for the ulema (Muslims scholars) and kaffirs (Muslim disbelievers)
What does the Qur'an mean by "Allah will not address them on the Day of Resurrection"?

How will Allah purify humans as regard to instructions and technique to cleanse the mind and body of defects?
Why will only True Believers (Al-Mu'minun) be purified during Qiyamah, and how long will it take?
How is it possible for humans to still dare reject purification of Allah if it is already Judgment Day, and humans are fleeing in blind terror and mad pandemonium?
Who are those who will still "buy error in place of Guidance" during the Great News (surah 78:1-5 An-Naba) of Qiyamah?

Thus, is Qiyamah the Peace of His Grace, or the Wrath of His Anger?

Thus, is Qiyamah the Rising of the Wise, or the Fall of Fools?
"And God Will Not . . . Nourish Them For Growth"
Those who conceal any part of the Scriptures, that God has revealed,
And thus make a little profit thereby, take nothing but fire as food;
And God will not turn to them on the Day of Resurrection,
Nor nourish them for growth;

They are those who bartered good guidance for error,
And pardon for punishment:
How great is their striving for the Fire!

Thus, is Qiyamah the Blast of Truth from Allah, or the splutter of speculation from Thieves of Truth?
"God Will Not Speak To Them, Or Assoil Them, On The Day Of The Resurrection"
They truly who hide the Scriptures which God hath sent down, and barter them for a mean price -
They shall swallow into their bellies nought but fire.
God will not speak to them, or assoil them, on the day of the Resurrection:
And theirs shall be a grievous torment.

(Webster New World Dictionary, Third College Ed., Simon & Schuster, Inc. 1988.)
Questions for the ulema (Muslims scholars) and kaffirs (Muslim disbelievers)
Why was Allah sure that parts of the Qur'an will be concealed in future?
Why was Allah certain that Muslims will benefit by this treachery?
Why should the Ummah conceal parts of the Qur'an through misinterpretation and falsehood?
What profit are they making by concealing parts of the Qur'an which reveal:
—that the Comforter will be sent (surah 3:81);
—that the Winds of Resurrection will blow (surahs 30:46; 35:9 & 51:1-6);
—that His angels and His Spirit will descend to spread the Message (surah 77:1-7);
—that His Signs within human beings will be shown (surah 41:53 & 51:20-22);
—that the Revelation of His Light will be completed (surah 61:8);
—that His Iron will be delivered as proof of His Sign (surah 57:25);
—that Allah will Announce, Promulgate, Recite and Explain about Qiyamah after a specific solar eclipse (surah 75:9);
—that there will be a Blast in the universe simultaneously with this solar eclipse (surah 50:42);
—that the Caller will call from a place quite near to begin the Resurrection (surah 50:41-42)?
Have Muslims gained by misinterpreting parts of the Qur'an which confirm the validity and Divine Unity of all His Messengers, all His Scriptures, and all His Religions (2:252-53, 3:184, 4:150, 4:152, 4:164, 5:109, 6:48, 6:67, 6:130, 14:4, 2:213, 10:47, 13:38, 14:9-12, 16:36, 16:43-44, 21:6-7, 23:51-52, 40:78, and 57:25-26)?
Have the Ummah profited be twisting parts of the Qur'an that Islam is the 'only religion' (2:252-53, 3:144, 3:184, 3:81, 4:150, 4:152, 4:164, 5:109, 6:48, 6:130, 14:4, 2:213, 10:47, 13:38, 14:9-12, 16:36, 16:43-44, 21:6-7, 23:51-52, 34:28; 40:78, 57:25-26, and 58:21-22)?
Have the Islamic nations benefited by raping and mutilating Al-Qiyamah, the most important surah of the entire Qur'an, the very heart and soul of Islam?
Has Islam benefited by becoming a mighty religious Idol, with hundreds of millions united by blindness and fanaticism, a brotherhood which regards the rest of humanity as kafirs and idol-worshipers bound for hell?
So, again, what does it mean by "God will not . . . nourish them for growth" and why this Divine Exclusion?
How long will it take Allah to nourish humans for spiritual growth - a day, a week, a month, a year, or decades?
Who are these arrogant humans bartering away good guidance for error if this is Day of Terror?
Why are these fanatical beings rejecting pardon and accepting punishment if the skies are being rent asunder, and multitudes screaming in collective wailing and delirium as absolute hell descends on Earth?
Thus, is Qiyamah the Blast of Truth and Warning, or the Trumpet of Doom and Destruction?
Thus, is the Resurrection the Joy of Spiritual Rebirth, or the Fear of Eternal Damnation?
Thus, is Qiyamah the Century of those who obeyed Him, or the abrupt End?
"On the Day of Resurrection, God Will Neither Speak To Them Nor Purify Them"
Those that suppress any part of the Scriptures which God has revealed,
In order to gain some paltry end shall swallow nothing,
But fire into their bellies.
On the Day of Resurrection, God will neither speak to them nor purify them.
Theirs shall be a woeful punishment.
Such are those that barter guidance for error, and forgiveness for punishment.
How steadfastly they seek the Fire!

Why are hundreds of million brains and eyes unable to detect and see such satanic betrayal?
Why didn't they heed His Warning that Iblis will misguide them till the Day of Qiyamah (7:14-17)?

Are they the ones who will barter guidance for error on the Day of Resurrection?
Are they the ones who will reject forgiveness for punishment on the Day of Resurrection?

Thus, is Qiyamah the Fulfillment of all Scriptural Prophecies?
Thus, is Qiyamah the Completion of all His Al-Qadar (Divine Preordinations)?
Thus, is Qiyamah the Summon for all the True Believers (Al-Mu'minun) to begin purification?
Thus, is Qiyamah the Beginning of the Mighty War between Good and Evil?
Thus, is Qiyamah the Wakeup Call for Salvation, or the Trumpet Call for Annihilation?
Thus, is the Resurrection the Day of His Forgiveness, or the Beginning of His Punishment?
Thus, is Qiyamah the Day Allah called on His Human Family, or the day He exterminated the rebellious remaining?
"God Will Not Speak . . . Nor Will He Sanctify"
Those who conceal God's revelations in the scripture,
Seeking a lowly material gain, are eating fire into their bellies.
God will not speak to them on the Day of Resurrection,
Nor will He sanctify.
They will suffer painful retribution.
It is they who chose the straying instead of guidance,
And the retribution instead of forgiveness.
Consequently they have to endure the hellfire.
surah 2:174-176 Al Baqarah (The Cow)
(Rashad Khalifa, Quran: The Final Scripture, Islamic Productions, 1981.)

(Webster New World Dictionary, Third College Ed., Simon & Schuster, Inc. 1988.)
Lo! those who hide aught of the Scripture which Allah hath revealed,
And purchase a small gain therewith,
They eat into their bellies nothing else than fire.
Allah will not speak to them on the Day of Resurrection,
Nor will He make them grow.

Those are they who purchase error at the price of guidance,
And torment at the price of pardon.
How constant are they in their strife to reach the Fire!

And chastisement for forgiveness; How bold they are to encounter fire.

Questions for the ulema (Muslims scholars) and kaffirs (Muslim disbelievers)
How have Muslims concealed "God's revelations in the scripture" though they claim it was never ever adulterated?
How do they hide "God's revelation in the scripture" though they swear that every utterance of Angel Gabriel to Prophet Muhammad was recorded?
Do they twist, turn and corrupt the Holy Qur'an by using hundreds and thousands of hadiths to disguise Allah's Truth?
Do they lie, falsify and fabricate the essence of Revelation with human hadiths to deface Khudda's Truth?
Do they invent, devise and concoct the nature of Revelation with countless hadiths to distort God's Truth?
Why should God again make the True Believers (Al-Mu'minun) holy if they are already fit for heaven, as the Ummah believe they exclusively are?
Why should God again make humans free from sin if they are already qualified for paradise?
Why should God again purify the 'chosen ones' if the guardians of the Idols have already certified them pure?
Why should God again initiate a spiritual cleansing if the religious shepherds have already scrubbed their herd clean?
Or is it that no human is qualified for salvation as all are stained by falsehood, delusion, hate, pride, arrogance, ego, anger, agitation, lust and other defects?
Or is it that only fundamentalists, fanatics, and zealots believe they are religiously clean and spiritually enlightened to enter Paradise?
Are they the ones to whom Allah will not speak during Qiyamah?
Are they the ones who will reject Allah's Baptism during Qiyamah?
Are they the ones who will suffer painful retribution instead of spiritual enlightenment?
Are they the ones who will "choose straying instead of guidance"?
Are they the ones who will "choose . . . retribution instead of forgiveness"?
Are they the ones who will "purchase error at the price of guidance"?
Are they the ones who will choose "torment at the price of pardon"?
Are they the ones who will "find (a cause of) disagreement in the Scripture"?
Are they the ones who will "buy error for the right direction"?
Are they the ones who will prefer "chastisement for forgiveness"?
Are they the ones who will be "those who go against the Book"?
Thus, is Qiyamah the Age of Divine Blessing or the Day of Sorting Out?
Thus, is Qiyamah the Serene Journey to Eternity or the Dreaded Nightmare of Extinction?
Thus, is Qiyamah the Promised Period to enter His Kingdom or the Sudden Snare of Hell?
Thus, is Qiyamah the Awakening of the True Believers (Al-Mu'minun) or the Delusion of the Deceived?
Warnings for the ulema (Muslims scholars) and kaffirs (Muslim disbelievers)
You strayed ones, for concealing the Truth you will not be addressed by Allah's Ruh during the Resurrection!
You deceived ones, for believing in Error you will not be purified by Allah's Holy Spirit during Qiyamah!
You fanatical ones, for transgressing His Word you will be forsaken Allah's Adi Shakti during the Last Judgment!
You disbelieving ones, for corrupting Truth you will not be enter Paradise during the Resurrection!
You swindled ones, for listening to Satan's Lies you will forsake Guidance during Qiyamah.
You misled ones, you will defy the Resurrection as prophesied in the Qur'an.
You arrogant ones, you will dispute the Great News (78:1-5) as proclaimed in the Qur'an.
That is why the Ruh of Allah Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi has bluntly told that the Muslims will not believe Her. On the contrary, they will reject Revealed Truth and turn away, stalking back to their families in full conceit - just as prophesied in the Qur'an! Be forewarned, Rejecters of Revelation, be forewarned!
WA-LAA UQSIM BI-AN-NAFSAL-LAWWAAMAH
I do call to witness the Resurrection Day;
And I do call to witness the self-reproaching Spirit.
Concerning what are they disputing?
Concerning the Great News. [5889]
About which they cannot agree.
Verily, they shall soon (come to) know!
Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know!
surah 78:1-5 Al Naba' (The Great News)
"5889. Great News: usually understood to mean the News or Message of the Resurrection."
Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an, Amana Corporation, 1989.
Types of Kufr (Disbelief) — Adapted from 'Tafseer ibn Katheer'
1. Kufrul-'Inaad: Disbelief out of stubbornness;
2. Kufrul-Inkaar: Disbelief out of denial;
3. Kufrul-Kibr: Disbelief out of arrogance and pride;
4. Kufrul-Juhood: Disbelief out of rejection;
5. Kufrul-Nifaaq: Disbelief out of hypocrisy;
6. Kufrul-Kurh: Disbelief out of detesting any of Allah's commands;
7. Kufrul-Istihzaha: Disbelief due to mockery and derision;
8. Kufrul-I'raadh: Disbelief due to avoidance;
In Abdullah Yusuf Ali's commentary Kufr, Kafara, Kafir, and
derivative forms of the word imply a deliberate rejection of faith, revelation and truth of the Holy Qur'an:
"The culmination of Allah's Revelation is in the Qur'an, which confirms
previous scriptures, corrects the errors which men introduced into
them, and explains many points in detail for all who seek right
worship and service to Allah—whether they inherit the previous Books
or not. It is a universal Message ... The worst and most hardened
sinner is the man to whom Allah's Signs are actually brought home and
who yet prefers Evil and turns away from the Light of Allah. The
Signs may be in the words and guidance of a great Teacher or in some
sorrow or warning, but from which he deliberately refuses to profit.
The penalty—the Nemesis—must necessary come eventually."
According to Ibn Taymiyah (1263 – 1328) "kufr is
the attribute of everyone who rejects something that God has
commanded us to believe in, after news of that has reached him,
whether he rejects it in his heart without uttering it, or he speaks
those words of rejection without believing it in his heart, or he
does both; or he does an action which is described in the texts as
putting one beyond the pale of faith."
However, this explanation of kufr is most lucid and applicable to the sheer gravity, importance, and dire consequences of this universal Message of Al-Qiyamah (The Resurrection):
"Just as faith for Muslims has to do not with believing but with knowing, so
kufr, rejection, is not a lack of belief, not an intellectual position that holds that something is
otherwise than is the case, and certainly it is not mere ignorance. Rather it, too, like its correlative iman, presupposes knowledge; for it is an active
repudiation of what one knows to be true. This is why it is a sin, and indeed a (the)
monstrous sin. It is the one final, cosmic (or some would say, the one final human) wrong;
the deliberate saying of 'no' to what one knows to be right." (Wilfred Cantwell Smith, On Understanding Islam: Selected Studies, 1981, page 154)
Therefore most of the Al-Kufr ul Akbar (major disbeliefs) are applicable to
those rejecting or disbelieving Allah's (SWT) Signs and surahs
upholding the collection, promulgation, recital, explanation and
warning of the following:
i) His Call to witness Al-Qiyamah (The Resurrection);
ii) His Call to witness His Ruh (self-reproaching Spirit);
iii) His Call to heed Al Naba (The Great News);
iv) His Call to participate in Al Qadr (The Night of Power and Destiny);
v) His Call to confirm His Revelations, Signs, and Warnings (of i-iv).
Thus kaffir (non-believer) here is applied to all humankind,
both Muslim and non-Muslim, who reject the Call that God has commanded us
to believe in after His Revelations, Signs and Warnings have reached us.
The Qur'an clearly warns that many will disbelief, even mock, the
Great News and Sure Signs of Al-Qiyamah.
So be forewarned, and in the Hereafter never deny deliverance of this clear Warning:
"O ye assembly of Jinns and men! came there not unto you
messengers from amongst you, setting forth unto you My signs, and
warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?" Qur'an 6.130
And those still rejecting, hesitant or unable to make up their minds even after hearing the Great News and shown the Signs,
Allah (SWT) questions: "Are they waiting until the Hour comes to them
suddenly? All the Signs thereof have already come. Once the Hour
comes to them, how will they benefit from their message?" "Why do
they not study the Quran carefully? Do they have locks on their
minds?" Qur'an 47:18-24
The last paragraph is yet another warning from Allah (SWT) that
prior to the Wrath of the End (Al Qariah) humans are offered the
Mercy of the Resurrection (Al Qadr). And once the Hour of Al Qariah
comes to them, how will they benefit from their contemporary message of Al Qadr i.e., from the Great News of the messengers from amongst you? How will those reading these lines benefit if they continue to doubt and wait, and the Striking Day comes suddenly?
What use then will be the Mercy and Compassion of Al Qadr (Night of Destiny) if the morn of the Al Qariah (Striking Day) ends His Peace?
Why doesn't the Ummah then not study the Quran with painstaking effort to avoid the errors, mistranslation and ignorance of the ulema that have presently paralyzed their minds from believing the Great News? Why don't they use their own mental faculties and intelligence to understand Al- Qiyamah, the heart and soul of the living, breathing Quran? Living and breathing because God Almighty is now talking directly to you through His Holy Book! After all, it is Allah (SWT) who has now called out to all Believers with this Decree: "I do call to witness the Resurrection Day; And I do call to witness the self-reproaching Spirit." He is specifically addressing you in particular (and Believers is general) to do so!
Only now in this modern age of universal education, mass media and publishing technology—after 14 centuries and unlike the illiterate past—is it possible to own and be sufficiently
literate to "study the Quran carefully" in languages they understand
best.* And just in case the Believers start studying the entire Qur'an, it
must be stressed that Allah (SWT) is referring specifically to those
eschatological Signs and surahs upholding His Call to bear witness of the
Resurrection! They must thoroughly examine and understand the Signs that have already manifested, and
set forth by messengers from amongst themselves.
Without question, to "study the Quran carefully" means using one's own mental faculties, not those of the ulema (Muslim clergy) who have
for centuries put "locks on their minds" and are the very reason for
the Ummah's present predicament i.e., their unprecedented kaffir-like mindset,
reaction, rejection and mocking of His Call, Signs and Great News of the Resurrection. They must know that during Al Qadr no 'graves are going to open up'
as this is His Night of Compassion and Mercy. So "Peace!... This until the rise of the morn!" (Quran 97:5)
"There is so much blind faith, there is so much of wrong ideas, so much of organizational fortresses they have built. All kinds of nonsensical things are going on in this world, but they'll all be finished."

"We are now in the Blossom Time, as I call it, because many flowers are born and they are to become the fruits. This is the Resurrection Time, which is described in all the scriptures. But it’s not like this, the way they had described us. Something wrong with them that all the dead bodies who are in the graves will come out of the graves. I mean, how much is left out of them, God knows. Must be some bones or maybe some skulls there. So they’ll come out of the graves and they will get their Resurrection!!!? This is a very wrong idea.
Once I happened to meet a fellow, a Muslim from Bosnia and he told Me, "I want to die for my religion, for God’s sake." I said, "But why? Who told you to die?" He said, "Now, if I die in the name of God, I’ll be resurrected." I said, "It’s all wrong. That’s not the way it is going to work out. Resurrection is going to work out this way that at this time, all these souls will take their birth. All these souls will take their birth and they will be resurrected. As human beings they’ll have to come."
That’s why we find all kinds of funny people these days, all kinds of cruel, criminal, all kinds of idiotic, stupid, I mean very queer, weird, funny ideas which find such, such a variety of people and such a tremendous population that we should understand they have to have their chance of Resurrection. But how many will come? That’s the point. How many are going to come?"

So Peace to all Believers bearing witness to the Resurrection (Al-Qiyamah)! So Peace to all Believers bearing witness to His self-reproaching Spirit (Ruh)! So Peace to all Believers resurrecting themselves during this blessed Night of Power and Destiny (Al Qadr)! So Peace to all Believers of the Great News (Al Naba)! So Peace until the dreadful morn of the Great Calamity, the Striking Day (Al Qariah) against the Unbelievers (Al-Kafirun)!
Last, but not the least, the Qur'an insists that ample warning of impending calamity must be always delivered by His messengers:
"That is because thy Lord would never destroy the cities unjustly, while their inhabitants were heedless." (Quran 6.131);
"Never did We destroy a population, but had its warners - By way of reminder; and We never are unjust." (Quran 26:208-209);
"And never did Thy Lord destroy the townships, till He had raised up in their mother-town a messenger reciting unto them Our revelations." (Quran 27:59);
This cardinal rule has been expressly complied with and Warning of the impending Great Calamity repeatedly announced and fearlessly upheld by the incarnation of His Ruh for more than three decades until Her retirement in 2008 at the age of 85. (Since Jesus is the mandatory Sign of the Hour [Quran 43:61], and as the Comforter promised and sent by God Almighty in Jesus' name, She has also ceaselessly glorified Christ and His Message of the Last Judgment.)
"I should do something to bring sense to these people (humanity). Something should happen to them otherwise what I see is a
complete disaster. It is going to happen. I do not want to frighten you
like Mrs Thatcher does about the Russians. That might be imaginary. But
this is real. I am warning you that the Disaster is going to come as destruction itself."

"The Last Judgment has started. We are facing the Last Judgment today. We are not aware of it. And all the satanic forces have come out like the wolves in sheep's clothes. And they are trying to attract you and you do not judge them. You only sit down and judge the Reality. It has started! It is a fact! It has started!"

"I have such respect for so many of them (Muslims). I wish they could accept that this is not Jihad time anymore but
Qiyamah Time, the Resurrection Time, the Blossom Time. Are they going to miss it?"

groups over fifteen. Despite a rapid increase in primary school
enrollment, only 45 percent of Muslim children aged six to eleven
attend primary school. An even larger gap exists at higher levels of
research." - Martin S. Kramer, Arab awakening and Islamic revival,

— "The vast majority of Muslims do not speak Arabic as their native
tongue" - Christine Huda Dodge, The everything understanding Islam,
2003, page 21;
— "The degree of knowledge of Arabic determines a person's
understanding of the Islamic creed. The Quran, the Hadith and Sira
traditions (Prophetic sayings and actions), and the writings of the
early Islamic scholars and jurists were in Arabic. Imam Shafei (767-
820), the founder of the Shafei School of Sunni jurisprudence,
advocated that every Muslim should learn Arabic, at least to the
point of reciting the Quran (Hourani 1991, 68). Most non-Arab Muslims
do not understand Arabic." - Elie Elhadj, The Islamic Shield, 2006, page
22;
— "If your mother tongue is not Arabic, Satan (or his troops) will
encourage you to read the Quran in Arabic. Why does he do that?
Because he knows that you will not understand enough of it. The
majority of those who learn Arabic to study the Quran do not excel
enough to understand the implication or interpretation of certain
words when used in a special way in the Arabic language. They will
have a lot of shortcomings. Many Pakistani and Indian Muslims are
forced as children to read the Quran in Arabic and still as adults
read the Quran in Arabic but they do not understand a single word of
what they read... The Quran is a message, not just another beautiful
language book. If you cannot read it in Arabic do not wait until the
day you excel in your Arabic language, because this day may never
come. Trust God and know that He is the teacher of the Quran. He will
teach in any language and to any nationality, He created all things.
Read your Quran today, (do not wait any longer,) in any language that
you can understand and master and leave the rest to God.” Dr. Rashad

QUOTES OF ALLAH'S (SWT) RUH SHRI MATAJI NIRMALA DEVI
"Now when I say something I am sure about it, what I say. I never say anything but the Truth. I know that I am saying only the Truth. But I do not go inside and find out whether it's the Truth or not. I don't read a book to find out. I don't ask you. I have faith in Myself, full faith in Myself. Whatever I say is the Truth - I know for definite!"
Shri Matajii Nirmala Devi
U.K. - August 6, 1982
"We have people from all kinds of races, all kinds of religions, all kind of nationalities, all kinds of political systems. But there is such a beautiful brotherhood and sisterhood among them. Without any effort it has been achieved. Automatically, they have become so beautiful because there is between ourselves and the Reality a very little distance. If we can cover that distance and if we could absorb the Reality, then you'll be amazed how you are so fantastic, so glorious, so wonderful.
If we see the world, we have all kinds of problems - ecological problems, political problems, economic problems, family problems, all kinds of problems. But the centre point of all these problems is one that's the human being. And if somehow we can transform this human being into a new awareness of universality, then all these problems can be solved. As we had saints in our country and as we had great philosophers in so many countries, all of them have talked about the Spirit. All the scriptures also have talked about becoming the Spirit. But in reality, all these religions which were very great, which were very pure, were absolutely real, got into a mess because people who followed them were either money-oriented or power-oriented. They were never Spirit-oriented. They never bothered as to how to achieve this ascent.
Take the example of Buddha, Mahavira. Both of them did not even want to talk of God Almighty because they though if you start talking about God Almighty, people just start thinking they belong to this religion, that religion. "So let us talk about something which is formless." That is the Spirit and they insisted that you should have your Self-Realization. Without Self-Realization, they did not want to talk about anything. Same with Mohammed-sahib, Nanak-sahib; they all talked about the Formless Divinity, reason being the same.
But whether you talk of the form or the formless, it is a talk. Like if you talk about the flowers, you don't get the honey. And if you also talk of the honey, you don't get the honey. Talks are talks. These are words. In Sanskrit Adi Shankaracharya called this as Shabda Jalam, is the web of the words. How to go beyond the web of the words?
Of course, Kundalini awakening is not a new thing in this country. Sahaja Yoga also is not a new thing. And it has been expressed in all the scriptures that unless and until you become the Spirit, unless and until you are reborn, you cannot know the religion. That doesn't mean you know it by your mental efforts. Mentally, everybody knows what is their religion is or what is their philosophy is. Everybody knows mentally, but, as you see recently I was shocked to hear so many people, Armenians killed Azerbaijans because they're Muslims. But before going to kill them, they used to read the Bible. How can it be? Just imagine Christians doing that. If you read also about Islam, it's one of the best religions, is so beautiful, so good, but nobody has understood what Mohammed Sahib has said. That you have to know it.
Now the know word comes from the word gna, as in Sanskrit means to know - gna. Early Christians were called as Gnostics because they knew. Knew means to know on your central nervous system - not to know mentally, but to know on your central nervous system. That's why when as soon as this Paul took over, Christ's disciples ran away and when Thomas came to India he hid all the Knowledge about Reality in a jar in Egypt and then he came down. Why? Because he would have been persecuted by people who were interested in organizing religion, in making money out of it.
As a result of all this nonsense, people said better not talk of religion. If you talk of religion, that means there is a quarrel, there's a fight, there's "I belong to this religion, you belong to that religion, so let us fight." As if religion means you have to fight; killing people, murdering people - how can it be a religious act? Impossible! But it has become because human beings are like that. They can make a mess of everything, if you allow them and, if they have made a mess of this, I am not surprised the way they have been killing people. They have been making money; they have been smuggling things. I mean, all sorts of things which thugs and [-] won't do, they are doing in the name of God. But that does not mean there is no divinity, there is no Reality."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
Delhi, India - March 21, 1992
"The worst part is the practice of conversion. People are being converted from one religion to another not for faith but for non-religious reasons such as matrimony or monetary gain. Bitter fights are going on in different parts of the world between followers of different religions, all in the name of God Almighty! This cruel phenomenon is not understood by any saintly person. Groups of people claiming to profess the Islamic religion are in the forefront of these fights.
The Sufis amongst the Islamic people tried to tell them that this is not the way to behave if you are a follower of Mohammed Sahib, because this brings a bad name to Mohammed Sahib and to Islam.
There are some people who believe that Islam should be spread by Jihad. This was never the idea of Mohammed Sahib. At the time when He was here on this Earth, the people we facing a very difficult situation because there were lots of tribes, and these tribes were fighting and killing all the people who were taking to Islam. That was the time when it was alright to talk about Jihad, but today there is no such problem. Moreover by talking incessantly of Jihad, they are becoming very unpopular. Not only that, actually, they have achieved nothing.
By doing all this have they achieved their Self-Realization? Have they attained their Qiyamah and have they found the Truth? Nothing of the kind has happened to them. They are diverting the attention of people to wrong things and are trying to do something which is absolutely no good for the peace of the world. It is because of them that there are little wars going on in so many places...
These religions inject fixed ideas into the brains of people. These fixed ideas start developing in a collective way and this can produce a very big, collective monster which can believe only in killing others and pushing its own ideas."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
"All the living processes we accept blindfolded and we are not at all concerned as to know how: how these flowers have come out of the Mother Earth? how their heights are maintained? how their colours are reproduced from a small little seed? All this comes to us because we do not know about it. But this All-Pervading Power, which they are talking about Pure Love, that Pure Love is One; that Energy that does all these beautiful, delicate things.
Once you are connected with that, your Spirit gets enlightened. In the sense it is an enlightenment, but it enlightens your attention. As your attention enlightens, you become a different personality altogether. First of all, you become collectively conscious means you know about others also. You know about your own centres on your fingertips. Also you know about others, their subtle centres, what is their problem. Now, these centres are the ones which are the foundations of our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual being. When you put these centres right, you are all right. That's how you know here in Delhi we have two doctors and third one is coming up, who have got their M.D. in cures of Sahaja Yoga. Many diseases which are suppose to be incurable can be easily cured in Sahaja Yoga because when this Kundalini, when She passes through these six centres, She enlightens those centres, nourishes those centres and integrates them, so in totality you are all right. It's not like that one part of the body is treated, another is neglected. In totality, in the whole balance and She puts you in the central path of balance. Of course, with this Light, you become definitely a very wise person because your mind, you can empty it at any time, which we call as thoughtless awareness. At that time you become absolutely peaceful.
After little working out, this connection, when it is established well, then you become a person which we call as full of doubtless awareness. Means you become so powerful that you can give Realization to others, you can cure people, you can talk about Sahaja Yoga as your own Knowledge. It's true, I have guided whenever they have asked questions and things about it, but much has come from within and the enlightenment has told them that these scriptures are very different from the way the people are following them. They can now see the enlightenment of these great souls who came on this Earth to help us.
So in the evolutionary process now, we are just standing at the edge of our last breakthrough and that is Self-Realization and the whole world has to get it. Of course, I don't know if the whole world will get it or not but the way it is moving in Sahaja Yoga in thousands and thousands and thousands everywhere, I feel that lots of people in My lifetime only will get Realization. Not only that, but they will form that beautiful society which doesn't fight, which doesn't have violence, which is not cheating, which is not ambitious, which is not quarrelling with each other, which doesn't talk ill of others, which doesn't cut each other's throat. These ideas do not come into their head. They're extremely moral. They don't look at other women. They do not trouble their children. They are the most law-abiding people automatically. I don't have to tell them, "Don't do. Don't do." All their bad habits drop out."

"In the final reckoning, the warners and teachers will give evidence of their preaching the truth, and the wicked will themselves have to acknowledge the truth."
Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an, 1989, p. 346.
"It is true that there is plenty of material in the Koran that is more egalitarian than the western Christian tradition, which was heavily influenced by the misogyny of Greek thought. Perhaps the most fundamental is that the Islamic God does not have a gender. Arabic may refer to him by use of the male pronoun, but he is never described as "father" or "lord" as he is in the Judeo-Christian tradition. Indeed, the Islamic God has characteristics that are expressly feminine; one of his most important "names" is al-Rahman (the All-Compassionate) from the Arabic rahma, which comes from the word rahim , meaning womb. In Islamic mysticism, the divinely beloved is female."

The Guardian, Saturday December 8, 2001
"According to the Qur'ân, the names Allâh and Rahmân are quasi-equivalent: "Call Him Allâh or call Him Rahmân, to Him belong the most beautiful names"; which indicates the as it were Shaktic character of the name Rahmân. The name Rahîm, 'Merciful', in a way prolongs the name Rahmân, 'Gracious'; it prolongs it in view of the creatures, and in this sense it is taught that Allah, who is Rahmân in His Substance, is Rahîm in relation to creation. The great Shakti in Islam is the rahmah: it is the Goodness, Beauty, and Beatitude of Allah. (Note that in Arabic the word rahmah is derived from the root rahim, a word signifying 'womb', and this corroborates the interpretation of the rahmah as Divine Femininity, thus as mahâshakti.)"

"Besides the teachings in Allah's Word, and the teaching in Allah's world, of nature and history and human contacts, many Signs come to the men of God, which they humbly receive and try to understand; and many Signs also come to the ungodly, in the shape of warnings or otherwise, which the ungodly either do not heed, or deliberately reject. The Signs in the two cases are not the same, and that becomes one of their perverse arguments against faith. But Allah's working will be according to His own Will and Plan, and not according to the wishes or whims of the ungodly."
Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an
