GOD'S LAWS ARE MEANT TO SAVE US
I seek refuge in Allah from satan the rejected.
In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful.
8:73 Part: Unless you keep these commandments, there will be chaos on earth, and terrible corruption.
Miracle: The Allah letters are 10, and messenger’s letters are 11, revealing the “Revelation of 1 God”.
Since the proof of this verse is revealed through this messenger, it inevitably tells us that the humans have rejected God’s commandments enmasse, and the result is, as He says, chaos and terrible corruption on earth. If we take the words: “alaa tafalooho”, meaning “unless you keep these commandments”, the GV of messenger’s letters are as follows:
Lam 30 + lam 30 + waw 6, the sum being precisely 66, revealing the name of Allah and confirming the Truth of the verse.
Corruption, bribery, scandals, extortion, ransoms, and influence peddling are at an all time high across earth. Most people are hesitant to invoke God’s name and even more reluctant to carry out His laws. The believers are the real keepers of God’s laws. (9:112) They should implement them without any fear of humans, and by putting all their trust in the Almighty, Most Wise. Sometimes God appoints righteous humans to carry out His laws, as verse 22:41 tells us.
22:41 Part 1: They are those who, if we appointed them as rulers on earth, they would establish the Salat and the Zakat.
Miracle: The Allah letters are 14 upto Salat, and 19 upto Zakat, revealing the Miracle of 14-19.
Miracle: Messenger’s letters are also 19 upto Zakat, confirming that the worship is for God Alone, without any kind of idolatry.
22:41 Part 2: And would advocate righteousness and forbid evil.
Miracle: Messenger’s letters in this part are 14, thereby revealing the
Supreme Miracle of 19-14 for both parts of the verse.
22:41 Part 3: GOD is the ultimate ruler.
Miracle: The Allah letters are 7, and messenger’s letters are 8, revealing the “Revelation of 1 God”.
All sovereignty belongs to God and He grants to whomever He wishes. The human rulers on earth are only temporary and last a short time, only to be replaced by someone else. Praise be to God, who witnesses all rulers as they come and go, as well as their deeds. His creatures are all mortal, while God is the Eternal and Ultimate Ruler. The righteous humans will establish the worship of God, advocate His laws, and forbid any violation of His revelations. The numbers that make up the chapter and verse are a clear indication from God. The difference between 22 and 41 is precisely 19, revealing the One God. He has appointed righteous humans as rulers in the past, and will surely do it again, when He wills.
The believers under the guidance of the messenger are the best community, as they get a chance to implement the “correct laws” and to correct anything that they might have been doing wrong in the past. God has quoted a messenger in the Quran as saying:
11:88 Part: “It is not my wish to commit what I enjoin you from. I only wish to correct as many wrongs as I can.”
You will therefore notice that 3:164 and 62:2 both end by saying: “Before this, they had gone astray.”
3:104 Let there be a community of you who invite to what is good, advocate righteousness, and forbid evil. These are the winners.
3:110 Part: You are the best community ever raised among the people: you advocate righteousness and forbid evil, and you believe in GOD.
Miracle: The Aleefs - proof of the Highest Order are: 8 & 7, revealing the “Revelation of 1 God”.
The miraculous proofs associated with the verses creates linkages, connects appropriate verses to each other and opens up the meaning of the subject matter through the mouth of a messenger who is under God’s inspiration. (Glory be to God.) As in the past, today’s societies and communities restrict implementation of God’s laws, and He is fully aware of this fact. Therefore, our foremost duty is to fulfill the following verse by imploring God.

60:4 Part: “Our Lord, we trust in You, and submit to You; to You is the final destiny.”
Miracle: Messenger’s initials are 14, and messenger’s letters are 19; the
Supreme Miracle of 14-19.
60:5 “Our Lord, let us not be oppressed by those who disbelieved, and forgive us. Our Lord, You are the Almighty, Most Wise.”
Miracle: This verse carries a lot of weight for the believers, as God has marked it with His Sacred letters of 19. The previous verse 60:4 has messenger’s letters 19 and this one has Allah letters 19, thus highlighting the worship of God through His messenger. Messengers deliver the message and advise the believers as to the correct path; but they have no power to guide anyone.
11:34 Even if I advised you, my advice cannot benefit you if it is GOD’s will to send you astray. He is your Lord, and to him you will be returned.
Miracle: The verse number is 34, and messenger’s letters are 33, revealing the “Revelation of 1 God”.
The following are a few examples as to how God made the laws easy for us to follow so that we can be saved.
2:226 Those who intend to divorce their wives shall wait four months; if they change their minds and reconcile, then GOD is Forgiver, Merciful.
There is great rationale that divorce should not be given in the heat of the moment or when the husband is angry and upset. Therefore, a “cooling off period” of 4 months is given. While living together, during these 4 months, the minds will cool down and reconciliation becomes a real possibility. Moreover, you will also know whether your wife is pregnant or not. If she is, you will have more compassionate feelings towards her and your unborn child. You will likely not want to abandon the child. Compare this system to today’s system of the devil, whereby the disputing couple separate, staying away from each other, with no likelihood of conciliation. The verses of the Quran are for the believers, who are mostly God-fearing people and will do their utmost to gain God’s approval and mercy, in order for them to be redeemed in the Hereafter.

Miracle: The GV of Allah letters upto “reconcile” are 110, (the value of Shahadah) and GV of messenger’s letters are 522, (being the value of Hadith - God’s words).
The fact that the wife, at her option, being allowed to live within the same house up to 2 divorces, increases the chances of reconciliation especially when children are the focal point of attention of both parents. In case the wife wants to leave the house after divorce, resulting in a separation; then God commands in 4:35 to resolve the hostility and bitterness through arbitration.
4:35 If a couple fears separation, you shall appoint an arbitrator from his family and an arbitrator from her family; if they decide to reconcile, GOD will help them get together. GOD is Omniscient, Cognizant.
Similarly, in case of rebellion by the wife, God gives the steps starting off with mild to moderate to serious consequences for the wife which the husband has to follow, through verse 4:34. All these verses I have recited are meant to save the believer’s lives; thus making “divorce with separation” a statistical rarity rather than the norm.
Examine the simplicity and convenience of God’s laws of shortening your prayers (Salat), when you travel or during the war; also praying while walking or riding under unusual circumstances. Both of the quotations are from verses 4:101 and 2:239 which end by saying: “If you fear that the disbelievers may attack you.” And “Once you are safe, you shall commemorate GOD as He taught you what you never knew.”
We should be highly appreciative of God’s concern for our safety and our lives, as expressed through these verses. He does not want us to unnecessarily subject ourselves in harm’s way, or be naively exposed to the disbelievers’ attacks. Praise be to God.
If we cannot find water for ablution before Salat, He gives us an easy alternative of dry ablution with dirt. If we cannot fast for reasons of health or hardship, He allows us to substitute other days, which could be shorter during wintertime or feed the poor, as commanded. When we turn to God in submission to Him, after having committed sins in our past lives, He did not place a monetary fine on us to be redeemed, which would have made it impossible for us to pay. Out of His mercy, He overlooked the harsher way and made it fairly simple for those who choose to follow His laws by offering a sincere “repentance” with their mouths. I will recite a verse, which is given for repentance and we have to utter 3 different sentences associated with the word “Lord” each time, followed by 3 different words.

2:286 Part: “Our Lord, do not condemn us if we forget or make mistakes.”
Miracle: The Allah letters are 11 and messenger’s letters are 12, revealing God is One.
Question: Till what age you are allowed to forget and make mistakes?
Answer: The GV of Allah letters is precisely 40, signifying the age of 40, after which you are held fully accountable.
2:286 Part: “Our Lord, and protect us from blaspheming against You, like those before us have done.”
Question: What have the previous generations done to blaspheme God? Answer: They failed to believe in God through His messengers and refused to be believers.
Miracle: The GV of Allah letters is precisely 223, being the value of “Al- Muhminoon” (Believers). See verse 26:67 for reference to this fact.
2:286 Part: “Our Lord, protect us from sinning until it becomes too late for us to repent.”
Miracle: The Allah letters are 13 and messenger’s letters are 14, revealing the “Revelation of 1 God” and points out to people who refuse to accept God’s Authority by accepting His messengers.
3 Simple Words are Needed for Salvation, Guidance and Redemption:
“Pardon us.” Allah letters: 2
“And forgive us.” Allah letters: 3
“And have mercy on us.” Allah letters: 2
The numbers 2-3-2 clearly denote a difference of 1, being the Revelation bestowed upon me.
Also, the messenger’s letters appear as 2-3-4, again revealing the “Revelation of 1 God”.
The ending statement in the verse denotes Submission to God; it is a very important statement that we make to disassociate ourselves from the disbelievers and to be regarded as a believer. It is:

2:286 Part: “Pardon us, and forgive us and have mercy on us. You are our Lord and Master. Grant us victory over the disbelieving people.”
Miracle: GV of Allah letters in this portion is 162, being the value of “Al- Islam” – “submission to God”; be He Glorified.
Reflect on the law of fighting in a war and thereby acquiring captives or prisoners of war. Quran teaches us that Muhammad had to actively engage and fight in wars, though he was the leader of the believers. He was not allowed to sit at home and conduct an absentee war with his followers doing the fighting alone. Neither could he acquire captives unless he participated in the war. (8:67) Similarly, we see in 2:247-251, that Taloot (Saul) had to lead his people against the troops of Goliath, though he was the king appointed by God. Now compare God’s law to the system of the disbelievers whereby self-appointed or elected kings, presidents, dictators, rulers, and armed forces commanders send their troops in battlefield to fight and die for them while they themselves stay away from danger in their comfort and luxury. Praise be to God for creating equality between a messenger believer and the believers who follow him.
Take the law of lending money to a borrower. It says in 2:282; do not tire of writing the details, no matter how long it takes, including the time of repayment. This is equitable in the sight of God, assures better witnessing, and eliminates any doubts you may have. The loan document has to be witnessed by 2 believing men; if two men are not available; then 1 man and 2 women will suffice, as long as they are acceptable to both parties. Nowadays, if you ask a borrower to write down and sign for the loan, their immediate response is: “Don’t you trust me? Nobody has ever asked me before to write down”. This remark by the borrower only shows that they do not trust God and His laws; and they should not be trusted at all. An honest person will have no hesitation to write down details and sign the document. A dishonest person who refuses to sign will most probably disappear and not pursue the loan; they are thus exposed as disbelievers. God’s laws are meant to preserve the integrity, interests, and rights of the lender through written, witnessed documents.
The freedom to believe or not to believe is God’s greatest mercy, whereby no coercion is allowed. He does not even allow the messengers to coerce or convince except to deliver His message. GOD’S LAWS ARE SIMPLE TO UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW AND ARE THE ONLY WAY FOR US TO BE SAVED AND REDEEMED BY HIM.
Glory be to the Most Wise, Most High.
Peace be upon the messengers.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Universe.
