TATTOOS: ARE THEY PROHIBITED (HARAM) OR NOT?
I seek refuge in Allah from satan the rejected.
In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful.
I have substituted the Sermon with this Topic, instead of continuing with Part 3 of the previous sermon on “Is Quran the message or the messenger?” Today, I will basically answer a believer’s question which he emailed to me some time ago. This question was asked of him by his colleague who is not part of the community of submitters. Although the woman who has asked the question is not from the community of believers, I would still answer this question, as a believing person has asked from me. Moreover, the explanation from the Quran may help educate and enlighten the believers to do better in the cause of GOD when faced with certain situations. I will be writing some verses associated with specific topics and my comments in parenthesis, which are part of the Sermon and should be read by all of you by opening the Quran, as you progress in reading and reciting the Khutbah. To keep the sermon to a limited number of pages, I will not be typing each verse, but will write them for your reference in brackets. This Sermon is detailed, and should be read over the next few weeks, along with the referenced verses in brackets. There will be no more sermon till I come back to town on January 20, 2008, Insha Allah.
The QUESTION asked by the woman is: She was interested in a Muslim man to marry him, but is hesitant to do so, as he wears a “tattoo on his body”. She considers the tattoo to be Prohibited by God, or in Arabic as “Haram”. Her concern was whether it is alright to marry the person in such a condition and situation. The answer to this question needs to be understood in light of the Quran and GOD’S commands to the believers who uphold all of it.
Some subjects - the questions and answers on them, as well as certain issues that arise and revolve around situations of life, do not have straightforward answers through the verses. For example, the concern of the followers of the Quran regarding the absence of the “procedure to perform the Salat Prayers” can only be explained by the messengers of GOD. They will point out to a certain verse/s in the Quran, and will teach you the Salat (Contact Prayers) based on the inspiration received from the Most Gracious. When there is an absence of straightforward verses regarding the complex issues that face the believers on an everyday basis, then the theme of the Quran through the verses and the past precedents help to inspire the messengers in determining the response to
specific issues.
The drawing or inscribing of tattoos on the human body does not come under the “Prohibitions” or the word “haram”. There is a difference between what is “Prohibited by GOD” and those that “GOD asks you to refrain from as they constitute bad behavior” and fall in the category of “steps of satan”. All the steps of satan to mislead the humans are categorized under “bad behavior”. (17:38) Bad behavior would constitute disbelief, disregard, and doubts in God’s revelations, and attributed to satan. This would be in stark contrast to the “righteous behavior or works” that is commanded and advocated by GOD, for the believers to follow and uphold in their lives according to the Scripture. For “righteousness” see verses:
74:56, 2:201, 74:4, 7:26, 47:17, 22:32, 48:26, 38:28, 39:28, 17:9, 9:112,
65:10-11, 46:15, 45:15, 7:159, 7:169-170, 2:212, 3:113-114, 16:97, and
many more.
Prohibition implies that there is no flexibility in the law, nor can there be any argument against it. It simply means that GOD has not allowed it. The “prohibitions” decreed by GOD in the Quran are for the believers who uphold the entire scripture, and submit to Him a “total submission”. They will strive to do the righteous works as commanded by Him, and will not knowingly violate GOD’S laws and will also refrain from doing anything that displeases Him. Any deviation by the believers to disobey GOD constitutes a gross sin. For example, some of the “prohibitions” are detailed through verses 6:151-152. Included in these verses is the prohibition of “setting up of idols beside ALLAH, and of committing gross sins, obvious or hidden”.
On the other hand, the utterances and acts that constitute “bad behavior” come under the “steps of satan” which are instituted by GOD in His system, purposely. He has allowed satan to mislead and dupe the people against GOD and His laws. This has been done to conduct the Test on the people, to see whether they believe in ONE GOD or two gods (16:51-52, 17:62-65). This test will further expose the people and reveal whether they follow and obey GOD’S laws or go against them by following satan. Also, the “steps of satan” are built into the System of GOD that came into effect after the Heavenly Feud, whereby even the revelations given to the messengers are subject to satan’s distortions and fabrications through fancy words, after the messenger has recited GOD’S message (6:112-115, 22:52-55, 25:31). satan does this to prevent the people from believing in GOD’S WORDS, and through this process, the Almighty GOD distinguishes between those who are righteous and those who are astray.
2
Out of the verses I have listed in brackets, verses 6:112-113 are prominent in the sense that GOD has used the same word – inspiration (Yoohee) - for the human and jinn devils to inspire fancy words to deceive the people. The same word “inspiration” is also used by GOD when the information and the commands come from Him to the angels, the human messengers, and the believers. This means that the “Inspiration” can be from GOD, easily identifiable and verifiable, and it can also be from the devils who will “inspire their followers” to go against the commands of their LORD.
I will recite verse 6:112 first, to show you the proven revelations spontaneously received from my LORD, which will identify the falsehood behind satan’s inspiration to come out with false Hadith through fancy words, meant to deceive the people. The Proofs from the Almighty, the Supreme, will expose satan’s tricks to dupe the people through various means. You are about to see something “UNIQUE” through the verse for the first time. In this example of proofs, the letters of the important words used in the verse, like – “devils” and “inspire” - have been selected and encoded by GOD with a precise measure to show you the difference between ALLAH’S inspiration and the devil’s inspiration. The net result obtained by comparing Allah letters and the letters of “Shayaateen” – “devils” is devoid of the “Revelation of 1”. Instead, you will see the “Revelation of 2 gods” emerge from the Proofs, exposing satan as the “false god”. But when I compare Allah letters with the letters of “yoohee” – “inspire”, then the net result reveals the “Revelation of 1”, as all inspiration is controlled by the ONE GOD; even the inspiration that flows and comes from the devils. This will prove that all the creatures of GOD are under His Absolute Control. He has designed the System whereby He allows the devils freedom to mislead the people. This kind of opposing forces has been created and put in place to test the jinns and the people whether they agree and abide by “TRUTH” or “FALSEHOOD”.
6:112 We have permitted the enemies of every prophet – the human and jinn devils – to inspire in each other fancy words, in order to deceive. Had your LORD willed, they would not have done it. You shall disregard them and their fabrications.
Revealed: The Aleefs of Absoluteness is 11, and Allah letters are 25, revealing the diff. of 14.
The Proof of the Seven Pairs reveals the complex structure of the verse designed to explain GOD’S system, whereby He allows the devils to distort His
3
Words and substitute them with fancy words of their own to deceive the people. It also reveals that every letter of the Quran dictated by GOD is fully counted by Him. This in turn sheds light on the enormous and profound systems created and controlled by Him, Glory be to ALLAH.
Revealed: The Allah letters are 25, and letters of “shayaateen”- “devils” are 23, revealing the diff. of 2.
This reveals the fact and truth that the System for belief designed for the humans and jinns is to choose between the 2 gods - the Truthful Lord, ALLAH, OR His enemy iblees, the false god (See verses 16:51-52). It also explains the fact that ALLAH has designed the System for everything including the role of the devils - as HE is the One who created them and controls them. This is done to distinguish between the righteous who believe in GOD’S Words and Narrations, as compared to the disbelievers who believe in satan’s distortions against GOD, without any kind of proof. Is the “inspiration” mentioned in this verse from ALLAH or the devils? Look below for the answer:
Revealed: The Allah letters are 25, and the letters of “yoohee” - “inspire” are 26, revealing the diff. of 1.
This reveals the fact and truth that the distorted and fancy words of the devils fall under the “specific authorization” of the Truthful Lord, as per His System. He controls the flow of fancy words uttered by the devils. They are meant to deceive the people into believing that GOD is not ONE in Eternal Existence or Eternal Authority, and His Words lack meaning and credibility. Moreover, they inspire each other that it is alright to tamper and change GOD’S Words, and not to be afraid of any consequences, as there will be none. This kind of illusion is created in the minds of their followers who then mock the religion of GOD and do not take it seriously at all. (See verses 86:13-17) By following the devil’s inspiration, their human followers are entrapped by him, thus ensuring their doom on the Day of Resurrection, whereby they, along with the devils will suffer eternal condemnation, confinement, and punishment from GOD.
The System cannot be complete or understood by the believers, till I combine the next verse with this one, which will explain the reason behind GOD allowing the devils to do such evil things. The complex structure of the verses is again noticeable, as they are wrapped around by the Most Wise.
6:113 This is to let the minds of those who do not believe in the Hereafter listen to such fabrications, and accept them, and thus expose their real convictions.
4
Revealed: The Aleefs of Absoluteness for both verses are: 11 + 8 = 19. This is the Profound Proof of the Aleefs being wrapped around the 2 important verses, revealing that GOD has designed the System, and He fully controls it. Glory be to GOD.
As for the letters of the messenger who is explaining the proofs and revelations of GOD – his letters are enshrined and inscribed within the complex “Proof System”, by the Grace of the Most Merciful.
Revealed: The messenger’s letters are 46 and 32, revealing the diff. of 14 – GOD has enabled the messenger to explain these important verses to the people, so that they may take heed. The devils however try their best to corrupt and distort the preaching of the messenger with their own fancy words to lead the people astray.
Revealed: Both Verses: The Allah letters are 25 and 20, the sum is 45. Revealed: Both Verses: The letters of “yoohee”- “inspire” are 26 and 20, the sum is 46. This reveals the difference of 1 between the Allah letters, and of the word “inspire”. It does not mean that the utterances of the devils are inspirations from GOD to be believed in by the people - it really means that the distorted, fancy words of the devils are part of the System created and controlled by GOD. He has already warned the people to disregard such fabrications. The devils have no real power of their own. The proofs are only meant to clarify and confirm the text and substance of the verses.
What does a “truthful inspiration from ALLAH” look and sound like? How does it differ from the inspiration of the devils? Look for the explanation through an important verse – 6:19.
6:19 Part 1: Say, “Whose testimony is the greatest?” Say, “ALLAH’S.”
Revealed: The Allah letters are 10, and the messenger’s letters are 9, revealing the diff. of 1.
The LINK between Allah letters and the messenger’s letters add up to the
Code of 19 also.
6:19 Specific Part on Inspiration: “That this Quran has been inspired to me.”
Revealed: The Allah letters are 8, and the messenger’s letters are 9,
5
revealing the diff. of 1 – The revelations you read and hear for the last few years are all inspirations of GOD through the Quran, as proven here. Glory be to Allah.
6:19 Part: He is the witness between me and you that this Quran has been inspired to me.
Revealed: The messenger’s initials are 14, and his letters are 19 – the revelation of the Quran based on the Sacred Codes of 14 and 19, Subhan Allah.
6:19 Part: Say, “Whose testimony is the greatest?” Say, “ALLAH’S.” He is the witness between me and you that this Quran has been inspired to me, to preach it to you and whomever it reaches. Indeed, you bear witness that there are other gods beside ALLAH.
Revealed: The words “other gods” in Arabic appear after the word “ALLAH”. The GV of Allah letters up to the Aleef in gods (Aalayhatan) is precisely 383, revealing The Quran. The meaning and significance of this revelation is as follows:
The Quran has been revealed by ALLAH - the Lord of the Universe, who is ONE. He has NO partners. He has revealed the Quran through His messengers, who deliver and preach His message to the people. Those who fail to believe in His messengers and the revelations sent down by Him become guilty of believing in “other gods” instead of ALLAH. The people who reject the messengers and the message they bring are considered to be following their own ego and self- opinions, or upholding the authority of other human beings, and are therefore considered “other gods” beside ALLAH.
He has precisely calculated the GV of Allah letters to be 383 to occur on the ALEEF of gods, (the Aleef itself represents the GV of 1), thereby nullifying the notion or belief of any more gods, except THE ONE GOD. In a very clear way, He has informed the hypocrites and the disbelievers who reject the Quran and the messengers, that GOD IS 1 – the ONE who has revealed the Scripture, and that the disbelievers will have to suffer the grave consequences of disbelief displayed by their utterances and actions on the Day of Judgment.
Revealed: To make it even more profound, the Almighty, the Supreme, has connected the Aleef of “other gods” to the Aleef of “ONE GOD” with 7 Aleefs – the GV of all Allah letters connecting these letters and words is
6
147, revealing the Code of the Seven Pairs. Furthermore, after the Aleef of “other gods” to the Aleef of “One God” there are 14 Allah letters. Thus the Codes of 7 Aleefs and 14 Allah letters having the GV of 147, are all solid proofs revealed in this time and age to verify the authenticity of Quran and to prove the Monotheism of ALLAH.
6:19 Part: Say, “I do not testify as you do.” Say, “There is only one god.”
Revealed: The Allah letters are 12, and the messenger’s letters are 11, revealing the diff. of 1. This is the clear proof of the “Revelation of 1” bestowed upon me by the Most Gracious, confirming the name of the website - “God Proven as 1”. Subhan Allah.
6:19 Part: Say, “I do not testify as you do.” Say, “There is only one god.”
6:19 Part: And I disown your idolatry.
Revealed: Both Parts: The messenger’s letters are 11 and 10, revealing the diff. of 1.
Revealed: Both Parts: The combined Allah letters are 14 – the Proof of ONE GOD through the Quran’s “Proof of Seven Pairs” and the “Revelation of 1”.
By taking the key phrase “He is only one god”, the clear proof of the name of
ALLAH is revealed through the letters of Allah and of His messenger.
Revealed: The Allah letters are 6, and the messenger’s letters are 6, the pattern of 66, Glory be to ALLAH.
A profound LINK is REVEALED by ALLAH within the verse to show the effect of real, truthful inspiration from Him in a PROVEN FORM. The subject matter of the verse is that GOD’S testimony is the greatest, and that the Quran has been inspired to me (the messenger) by Him, and that He is the only ONE GOD. To prove the point that indeed His testimony is the greatest and that He has secretly encoded the Quran beyond human ability and comprehension, GOD will reveal something UNIQUE to confirm His Plan for the messenger and the believers. This kind of unique coding will show that the composition of QURAN is deliberate, thoughtful, precise, concise, pre- determined, and dictated by the Most Wise LORD. These “unique” proofs will take you beyond the boundaries of human imagination and limits. Those who do not believe in the messenger and the message revealed through him are guilty of setting up other gods beside ALLAH. Those who follow authorities and sources of religious teachings and
7
guidance other than the messenger have also believed in human gods rather than ALLAH. The clear LINK is therefore highly important in showing the predetermined plan of the Omnipotent LORD.
IMPORTANT:
Revealed: In the Arabic Text of the verse, up to “Al-Quran” there are 19 Allah letters; and up to “One God” are 19 Aleefs. These 2 words - “Al- Quran” to “One God”, are further linked with the GV of Allah letters to be precisely 383, revealing the Truth that THE QURAN is revealed by ALLAH – THE ONE GOD. Subhan Allah.
Revealed: These words are further linked with 32 Allah letters in combination with 34 messenger letters who has been given these profound revelations. The total for ALLAH and His messenger’s letters are therefore: 32 + 34 = 66 – ALLAH - Alhumdo Lillah.
Revealed: The pattern of these letters also brings out the Revelation of the Seven Pairs, as well as the Glorified Name of ALLAH as: 32,34 = 7 x 7 x 66 OR 32,34 = 7 x 14 x 33.
The previous proof was based on Allah letters and Aleefs being 19 up to specific words, which revealed the Arabic letters being woven together by being inter-mixed with a specific pattern connecting specific important words to reveal the name of the Lord as 66 - for ALLAH.
Important: “Proofs surpassing the horizons of Human Intellect and Brains”
(first time ever revealed by the Omnipotent Lord of the Universe)
The next set of Proofs will show the “absolute connection” between the lettering of the verses. It has been revealed for the first time that the entire Quran bears GOD’S SIGNATURE over the revelations bestowed upon the messenger, thus making it “one ofthe mostimportantprovenmessages”. You willwitnessthatthelettersof Allahand of the messenger appearing between the 19th Allah letter which occurs on the specific word “Al-Quran” are sacredly connected to the 19th Aleef occurring on the specific word “One God”. All the letters and words appearing in between are perfectly wrapped around, thus establishing the precedent that the entire Quran is Sacredly CodedbytheMost Gracious.
Theultimate climax of the “PROOF SYSTEM” is revealed as you will witness thatthe 14th Allah letter versus the 14th Aleef occurring on specific words bears the “similar revelation” – again highlighting the Sacredness of the verses of Quran. The Sacred
8
Coding of the Quran through the 19th and 14th occurrences of Allah letters and Aleefs reveal the “Revelation of 1” in a profound manner. All of this is beyond the scope and ability of human beings, and of the liars and falsifiers. Thiswill foreverprovethatthe QURAN is indeed composed by the Most Gracious on the Sacred Codes of 19 and 14, as well as the Revelation of 1 and bears GOD’S testimony of truth given to the messenger - Glorybeto ALLAH.
These proofs really have to be seen and witnessed by opening the Arabic Text of the Quran or if the verse is written down on the chalkboard, to be fully appreciated. It reflects the great Marvel of ALLAH in the QURAN. I cannot and do not have any more specialwordsofpraise,excepttosay:Glory andPraisebe to Allah, Lord of Universe.
REVELATION of the SACRED CODES of 19 - 14 with REVELATION OF 1
PROOF OF 19:
Revealed: The 19th Allah letter occurs on the Aleef of AL-QURAN, and the
19th Aleef occurs on the Aleef of ELAHUN (GOD).
The Absolute Proof: The Allah letters appearing and connecting the letters and words of the verse from the 19th occurrence of Allah letters to the 19th occurrence of Aleefs, between the two words are: 28.
The Absolute Proof: The messenger’s letters occurring between these two Aleefs are: 29, revealing the diff. of 1 - Subhan Allah.
PROOF OF 14:
Revealed: The 14th Allah letter in the verse occurs on the word “Ellayyaa” and the 14th Aleef occurs on the word “ukhraa”.
The Absolute Proof: The Allah letters connecting the 14th occurrences are: 23.
The Absolute Proof: The messenger’s letters connecting the 14th
occurrences are: 24, revealing the diff. of 1 - Alhumdo Lillah.
6:19: The Absolute Proof: Entire Verse: The Allah letters are 50, and the messenger’s letters are 69, revealing the diff. of 19. This is additional evidence of “Inspiration from ALLAH” as it is already pre- marked and pre-coded – only to be revealed at this time of history to the human messenger – M.H.
Seven Pairs Proof in Verse:
6:19 Part 1: Say, “Whose testimony is the greatest?” Say, “ALLAH’S.” He is the
9
witness between me and you that this QURAN has been inspired to me, to preach it to you and whomever it reaches. Indeed, you bear witness that there are other gods beside ALLAH.
6:19 Part 2: Say, “I do not testify as you do.” Say, “There is only one god, and I disown your idolatry.”
Revealed: The Aleefs are split up as 14 and 7 for Parts 1 and 2 of the verse, revealing the Code of the Seven Pairs in addition to all the other proofs that you have witnessed. These new and incontrovertible proofs and miracles from GOD are, and will remain unchallengeable by all the humans beings and the jinns forever.
They set apart and distinguish the “truthful inspiration of Allah revealed to the messenger”, as witnessed through verse 6:19, compared to the “false inspiration of the devils” as witnessed through verse 6:112. The “truthful inspiration” witnessed by you involves revelation of GOD’S SECRETS through the verses, and from within the verses – this coded and secret phenomenon is blocked out from those not authorized by ALLAH to receive inspiration, and from those who are doubtful about meeting Him on the Day of Resurrection.
I will now recite some verses on the subject of “haram or unlawful” and explain you by starting off with the 3 parts of verse 16:116. No one can prohibit anything NOT prohibited by GOD. The verse reads:
16:116 Part 1: You shall not utter lies with your own tongues stating:
16:116 Part 2: This is lawful, and this is unlawful, to fabricate lies and attribute them to GOD.
16:116 Part 3: Surely, those who fabricate lies and attribute them to GOD will never succeed.
Let me explain the profound proofs of GOD revealed for the first time, when I picked out this verse to recite to you, Subhan Allah.
Revealed: Part 1: Messenger's letters are 14. Revealed: Part 2: Messenger's letters are 14. Revealed: Part 3: Messenger's letters are 19.
16:116 Part: This is lawful, and this is unlawful.
Revealed: The Allah letters are 7, and messenger's letters are 6, revealing the diff. of 1.
10
Praise be to Allah for the Sacred Coding of the messenger’s letters. He has now authorized me to explain the meaning of the verse, and to answer the believer’s question on this subject. If I do not have the specific authorization of GOD, then I am afraid to answer. The fear of GOD prevails and is foremost in my mind, and I do not want to incur the sin of expressing my “personal opinions”.
Whatever GOD has specifically forbidden in the Quran is prohibited and is unlawful. No human being including the messengers - can make anything unlawful that GOD did not make unlawful. The subject of lawful – unlawful is mostly about food in the Quran. It is all detailed through the verses, and you can read the verses on this subject on your own. Most corrupted scholars and idol worshipers have forbidden wearing of jewelry for men, certain types of clothing material, photography, music, movies, art, ornaments, statues, and many other things for the people. For them, GOD has clarified their gross sin through verses 7:32 and 7:33.
7:32 Part: Say, "Who prohibited the nice things GOD has created for His creatures, and the good provisions?" Say, "Such provisions are to be enjoyed in this life by those who believe. Moreover, the good provisions will be exclusively theirs on the Day of Resurrection."
Revealed: The Allah letters are 34, and the messenger’s letters are 48, revealing the diff. of 14.
7:32 Part: Say, “Such provisions are to be enjoyed in this life by those who believe.”
Revealed: The Allah letters are 12 and the GV is 165.
The Absolute GOD has confirmed that He is the One who has bestowed all kinds of provisions to the humans, and no one can make them unlawful against His command. These provisions are enjoyed by the believers in this life, as they are aware that they come from the Provider - the One GOD, and acknowledge them by remaining fully appreciative of His blessings. It is one thing to have something in life without realizing the source of it, and it is another thing to acknowledge and appreciate the Source that sent it down and blessed you with. The latter is true for the believers who know and believe that the Source of all their blessings is GOD. They spend their lives appreciating His blessings and respond to Him through devotion and worship of Him, as outlined through His commands in the Quran.
11
7:32 Part: Moreover, the good provisions will be exclusively theirs on the Day of Resurrection.
Revealed: The GV of the messenger’s letters is 266 = 14 x 19 – The believers have been guaranteed through the Sacred Codes that the good provisions will be exclusively theirs on the Day of Resurrection. In this earthly life, the provisions are for everyone – believers and disbelievers. But in the Hereafter, the disbelievers will be deprived of all good things and provisions as a punishment for their disbelief and sins.
7:32 Ending Part: We thus explain the revelations for people who know.
Revealed: The GV of Allah letters is 152, a multiple of 19.
Revealed: The GV of the messenger’s letters is 462, a multiple of 14, and representing the value of “Al-Furqan” – “the Statute Book”, 462. The “Revelation of the Sacred Codes” is the guiding beacon for the messenger and the believers.
7:33 Say, "My Lord prohibits only evil deeds, be they obvious or hidden, and sins, and unjustifiable aggression, and to set up beside GOD powerless idols, and to say about GOD what you do not know."
I would like to point out that this time around, when the question was raised on the subject of “Tattoos” by one of the believers seeking the opinions of other believers – I commend all of you for having refrained from committing the gross sin of personal opinions like you did some time ago and later regretted and sought forgiveness from the LORD.
Different subjects bring out different verses, and I am glad that today’s verses will reflect on the sin of saying about GOD what you may not know. In other words, just as we condemn the commentaries of unauthorized scholars, the same would be true of the believers who incur this sin by commenting without sure knowledge from GOD, or His Authorization. You are aware that as I speak, the Most Gracious leads me on to speak and make comments by providing the Proofs. This then becomes certain that the answer with my comments and explanation have been inspired by the Almighty, thus exonerating me from the sin of “personal opinion” on my behalf.
The above verses are profound in substance and the proofs provided by GOD. Open the Arabic Quran and note how many letters and words are involved in
12
composing these verses. Then reflect on the Proof provided by the Most Wise, inspirationally and spontaneously. The greatness of GOD is magnified through the incredible proofs revealed by Him – Glory be to Him.
Proof: In verses 7:32-33, the Allah letters for both verses are 41 and 41
– Perfectly Matched.
Proof: In verses 7:32-33, the messenger’s letters for both verses are 62
and 62 – Perfectly Matched.
7:33 Part: And to set up beside GOD powerless idols.
Revealed: The Allah letters are 12 and the GV of Allah letters is a perfect
165 (just like in the Shahadah).
The powerless idols - these include the expression of “personal opinions” and are an affront and a challenge to GOD’S Absolute Authority.
7:33 Part: And to set up beside GOD powerless idols. 7:33 Part: And to say about GOD what you do not know.
Revealed: The Allah letters are 12 and 12 – Perfectly Matched. The unauthorized people do not have Matching Guidance from GOD. Whatever they speak is purely conjecture and does not have the approval of the Most Gracious.
Revealed: The messenger’s letters are 16 and 16 – Perfectly Matched. This proves that the messengers are given Matching Guidance by GOD, approved and authorized by Him. The word “Matching” means, that whatever the messengers speak is really not from them, but is from GOD (See verse 21:27). The Almighty LORD will reveal and confirm what He means by Matching Guidance.
Revealed: Both Parts: The Allah letters are 24, and the messenger’s letters are 32. Placing them side by side, we have: 24,32 = 19 x 128 revealing the name of the messenger, Husain. Further evidence of the “Matching Guidance” is provided through the last part of the verse, as follows:
7:33 Last Part: And to say about GOD what you do not know.
Revealed: The GV of Allah letters is 190 = 19 x 10.
Revealed: The GV of messenger's letters is 494 = 19 x 26 – The Matching Code of 19 through the GV of Allah letters and of His messenger reveals
13
and proves that it is a gross sin indeed to speak without authorization from Him. It does constitute setting up of powerless idols to challenge His Absolute Authority as revealed through the Proof of 165 and the Matching Revelations.
Apparently, most people think and believe that their human idols have some kind of power when they seek religious guidance and consultation through them, or think of themselves as having power when they idolize themselves. Their thinking becomes more ludicrous when they attribute their power as a blessing from GOD. We know for a fact that most humans have some (temporary) power given by GOD, but when it comes to representing GOD without authorization, He informs us that the idols do not possess any real power, nor did He grant them any. On the other hand, when it comes to the issue of messengers, GOD confirms that He blesses them with vast authority – meaning power authorized by Him. The Most Gracious did not forget any subject when it comes to the blessings of His revelations to me. Lately, I have been revealed the profound revelations of 1 and 19 through similar verses on the subject of “real power from GOD authorized for His messengers” compared to illusionary power of the idols from the devil, which is NIL.
Note the verses:
7:33 Part: And to set up beside GOD idols in whom He has placed no power (powerless idols), and to say about GOD what you do not know.
22:71 Part: Yet, they worship (idolize) beside GOD idols wherein He placed no power, and they know nothing about them.
Revealed: The messenger’s letters are 32 and 31, revealing the diff. of 1. Glory be to GOD for His Authority and Support granted to the messenger through the clear revelations.
Revealed: In verse 7:33, the GVs of the messenger’s letters is 960 for “WARNER” – “Nazeer”.
Revealed: In verse 22:71, the GVs of the messenger’s letters is 910 – the profound Code of Tis’aa Ashar, per 74:30 – the Code of 19.
After reading the verses along with the revealed proofs, you will be enlightened to know that the hypocrites and the disbelievers end up idolizing themselves by expressing their “personal opinions” or by “attributing lies to GOD” or by believing in other humans who have no authorization from the Supreme GOD. These proofs further clarify that the messengers of GOD are known to Him, witnessed by Him, authorized by Him, and fully supported by Him. To reveal the

mathematical word of “Warner-960” along with the “Code of 910 representing 19” attached with messenger's letters bears the testimony of the Most Gracious Lord. Let me show you the same verses by splitting up the part on Allah and the idols set up by the people, to offer you more clarity in understanding the gross sin of idolatry – saying or doing things without GOD’S authorization, or making up laws on your own.
7:33 Part: And to set up idols beside ALLAH.
7:33 Part: In whom He has placed no power (powerless idols).
Revealed: The Arabic letters are 14 and 15, revealing the diff. of 1 – Glory be to ALLAH.
22:71 Part: Yet, they worship idols beside ALLAH. 22:71 Part: Wherein He has placed no power (in them).
Revealed: The Arabic letters are 16 and 15, revealing the diff. of 1 – Praise be to ALLAH.
Another pair of verses in chapter 22 is coded with the letters of GOD, as well as the messenger, on the subject of setting up idols beside GOD.
22:71 Yet, they worship (idolize) beside ALLAH idols wherein He has placed no power in them, and they know nothing about them. The transgressors have no helper.
22:12 He idolizes beside ALLAH what possesses no power to harm him or benefit him; such is the real straying.
Revealed: The Allah letters are 20 and 21, revealing the diff. of 1, Subhan Allah.
Revealed: The messenger’s letters are 43 and 24, revealing the diff. of 19, Alhumdo Lillah.
The above revelations prove beyond doubt that belief in GOD’S messengers does not constitute idolatry, unless you distort their teachings or attribute lies to them. On the contrary, if you failed to believe in any of the messengers of GOD, then you have set up and worshiped idols besides ALLAH. They also clarify that the human messengers have no power of their own, but when blessed by GOD with His Power, they can defeat the enemies of GOD regardless of the numbers, without any problem. On the contrary, the human idols have no real power as they are the soldiers of satan, and his power is NIL.

Here are some more verses on the subject of Lawful and Unlawful:
10:59 Say, "Did you note how GOD sends down to you all kinds of provisions, then you render some of them unlawful, and some lawful?" Say, "Did GOD give you permission to do this? Or, do you fabricate lies and attribute them to GOD?" 10:60 Does it ever occur to those who fabricate lies about GOD that they will have to face Him on the Day of Resurrection? Certainly, GOD showers the people with His grace, but most of them are unappreciative.
5:87 O you who believe, do not prohibit good things that are made lawful by
GOD, and do not aggress; GOD dislikes the aggressors.
5:88 And eat from the good and lawful things that GOD has provided for you. You shall reverence GOD, in whom you are believers.
These verses recited by me inform you that no one can prohibit any food, ornaments, jewelry, items of luxury, decorative items, or anything else that GOD has not prohibited. To prohibit something that GOD did not prohibit itself becomes a gross sin and setting up of idols beside GOD.
The carving of “tattoos” on the body is self-injury, and is one way of distorting the creation of GOD. It is done for the purpose of enhancing the image or changing the personality of the person and to project it differently than what GOD created it as. Some men make tattoos to look macho, to be part of certain groups of men, to reflect certain beliefs, the gangs use it to identify themselves with their gang members, some men and women use it to enhance their image and of being part of a certain pop or rock culture, some people pierce their ears, lips, noses, or other parts of the body, some people color their hair, some wear different colored contact lenses, and the list goes on. All of these are done out of lust to show that they are better than others, or to identify themselves with other individuals or groups, or for self-adoration and self-exaltation.
Whatever the reasons behind this may be, these acts are of no interest to the believers who use their short span of life to please GOD, rather than pleasing themselves.
The reasons listed above can be classified and grouped under - as satan said: “I am better than he.” This should remind the believers that this arrogant statement was uttered by satan when commanded by GOD to prostrate to Adam. iblees was made of fire and Adam was made of mud or clay. His mind did not
16
agree with GOD’S command and he thought that he was superior to that which was made from mud. Therefore, he refused to prostrate. This was done out of self-adoration and self-exaltation for his own self, rather than showing appreciation towards GOD, who created him.
38:76 Part 1: He (satan) said, “I am better than he.”
Revealed: The Allah letters are 5, and messenger's letters are 6, revealing the diff. of 1 – this proves through the messenger, that the Creator is 1 – He is Allah, Subhan Allah. This statement shows the gross arrogance on the part of iblees saying to the One who created him that he was better than His other creation of humans, while forgetting that Allah is the One who created him.
It was Allah’s choice and decision to make him from fire and not his - in the first place. This proved his total lack of appreciation for GOD and His Absolute Authority to do whatever He pleases. When you are bestowed with a favor from GOD – be it any favor – and creation is certainly a big favor, you do not respond arrogantly to GOD – the Bestower of All Mercy and Grace - who knows best about you and does not need to be told.
38:76 Part 2: You created me from fire. 38:76 Part 3: And created him from clay.
Revealed: Messenger's letters are 7 and 7 – The Seven Pairs is the Proof of the creation of the jinns and the humans, as well as all other creations, by the same ONE GOD. Praise be to Him.
Revealed: Part 1: Allah letters are 5 - for Parts 2 & 3: the Allah letters
are 4, revealing the diff. of 1 – ONE GOD – the CREATOR.
Revealed: Parts 2-3, the GV of Allah letters is 66, proving that Allah is the Best and the Only Creator, who can create from fire or clay or anything else, as He pleases and chooses.
What happens when GOD’S creatures cannot create like Him? Well, there is something else the distorters can do, which falls under GOD’S system, and allowed by Him to test His creations of jinns and humans. satan and his followers cannot create anything new, but they can distort GOD’S creation, as per GOD’S will. This is what satan uttered as given in verse 4:119.
4:119 "I will mislead them, I will entice them, I will command them to (forbid the eating of certain meats by) marking the ears of livestock, and I will
17
command them to distort the creation of GOD." Anyone who accepts the devil as a lord, instead of GOD, has incurred a profound loss.”
4:120 He promises them and entices them; what the devil promises is no more than an illusion.
4:119 Part: “Anyone who accepts the devil as a lord, instead of ALLAH.
Revealed: The GV of Allah letters is 128, revealing the name of the messenger, Husain. This means that the people are only supposed to believe in the messengers of ALLAH. If they do not, then they have accepted the devil as their lord and master instead of ALLAH, as the clear revelation proves.
NOTE the Part that reads: 4:119 Part: And I will command them to distort the creation of GOD.
Revealed: The GV of Allah letters is 162, for “Al-Islam” - “the Submission”.
NOTE the Parts that read:
4:119 Part: “I will mislead them. – GV of Allah letters is 66. 4:119 Part: “I will entice them.
Revealed: The Allah letters for both parts are 4 and 3, revealing the diff. of 1.
The arrogant statement of satan saying: “I will mislead them” is marked by Almighty God with 4 Allah letters bearing the precise GV of 66. Additionally, the part on “commanding the humans to distort the creation of GOD” is marked with GV of Allah letters as 162. This means that satan presented an open and flagrant challenge to GOD to mislead His creations of jinns and humans to stray away from the path of GOD (66) by not submitting to Him
(162). The important element in “misleading and enticing” will be to distort the creation of GOD. This is the focus of this Sermon, through which I am trying to explain the consequences of carving tattoos on one’s body, as well as other matters. The challenge of satan is meant to turn the people against belief in GOD and His commands – to make them unappreciative of His blessings – and to disbelieve in the Hereafter. He does mislead the people to doubt GOD’S Revelations and to commit all kinds of gross sins that are pointed out and narrated by GOD. The truth that GOD has assigned the part of verse on: “I will mislead them” the GV of 66 tells us that the Lord of the universe is ALLAH, and
18
that satan’s challenge is against ALLAH and whatever He commands to His creations, as he has himself disobeyed and rejected the Most Gracious.
NOTE that I will split the verse into 2 parts at a precise point, whereby the “Revelation of the Seven Pairs” through Allah letters and those of His messenger becomes evident, as another profound Miracle of GOD. The believers should put their faith in the System of GOD, which is equally important to believing in GOD.
4:119 Part 1: I will mislead them, I will entice them, I will command them (to forbid the eating of certain meats by) marking the ears of the livestock, and I will command them to distort the creation of ALLAH.
4:119 Part 2: Anyone who accepts the satan (the devil) as a lord, instead of
ALLAH, has incurred a profound loss.
Revealed: The Allah letters are 25 and 11, revealing the diff. of 14 – Glory be to Allah.
Revealed: The messenger’s letters are 38 and 24, revealing the diff. of 14 – Praise be to Allah.
Comment: The System of GOD has now been absolutely confirmed through the letters of Allah as well as those of His messenger. The above verse clearly tells us that satan will mislead the people, he will entice them, and he will distort the creation of GOD, so that they remain unappreciative of Him and His blessings, thereby making them rebel against ALLAH – the Creator. By enticing and misleading the humans, satan tries to ensure that they do not accept Submission, 162, which means they will not accept or carry out GOD’S commands; therefore, they will be excluded from the “party of ALLAH” making them ineligible to be redeemed by Him. What I have elaborated also reflects “steps of satan” which he follows methodically to ensure the doom of the humans.
How can this be accomplished by satan?
satan has no power to give life or death nor does he come to chop off your legs, arms, hands, feet, ears, eyes, or other parts of the body. Nor can he make tattoos on your body, pierce the body parts, or do the other acts that I stated early on in this sermon. He cannot and is not allowed by GOD to do it physically himself, but only through the invisible system of misleading, enticing, and duping the humans through their minds and brains. satan has been empowered by GOD to command the humans into disbelief, and short of complete belief and knowledge of the verses of GOD, the humans are bound to walk the straying path
19
with him. What he does do is mislead the people and entice them in doing certain things and acts, which will displease GOD. As he is incapable of creating anything
- the only alternative left is to distort what GOD has created - in order to blaspheme, insult, and ridicule Him. The purpose of satan behind such condemned acts is to show and prove to GOD that His human creatures are unappreciative of:
GOD’S selection and design of their creation. GOD’S provisions to them.
GOD’S commands and decisions over them. GOD’S control over all matters surrounding them.
All the above basically reflect GOD’S Absolute Authority, which satan has challenged to blaspheme, ridicule, and reject along with and in unison with the jinn and human creatures.
Those who join satan in altering the creations of GOD are proving their ongoing rebellion against Him by showing that they have the power to look different than what He has chosen for them, to disprove the notion of perfection of His creations, to show that they also possess knowledge and creativity, and finally to demonstrate that these qualities are not the exclusive attributes or domain of GOD alone. In other words, the rebellious creatures are trying to prove that it is not GOD ALONE who is in control and command, but they also have a role to play in the universe and should be recognized and acknowledged for it.
In a way, this constitutes rebellion against GOD of a different nature - to demonstrate the fact that the people think differently than what GOD has planned for them. Simply put, satan is conveying to GOD that His creations are not on the same page as Him, nor do they agree with Him. Through misleading, enticing, and duping, satan tries to ensure that the humans do not obey GOD’S commands and to continuously express their displeasure and unhappiness with their lot. In addition, satan’s goal in the end is to show that GOD’S creations are, and remain unappreciative of Him and whatever He has done for them. The words “appreciative and unappreciative” have vast connotation and significance in understanding SUBMISSION TO GOD ALONE. Those who do not express appreciation after receiving every blessing they have, including life, provisions, families, knowledge, wisdom, health, etc. from GOD, are likely to disobey His commands and orders. Disobedience is the natural outflow and consequence of being unappreciative. They are linked and tied together. On the other hand, those who are appreciative and realize that their life is dependent on GOD’S mercy and blessings will fully comply and obey GOD in all matters by
20
shunning and putting aside their ego and personal opinions. This would then constitute Submission to God Alone.
82:6 O you human being, what diverted you from your Lord Most Honorable?
82:7 The One who created you, designed you, and perfected you. 82:8 In whatever design He chose, He constructed it.
82:9 Indeed, you disbelieve in the religion.
82:10 Oblivious to the fact that there are (invisible) keepers around you.
82:11 They are honest recorders.
82:12 They record everything you do.
The 2 important verses on creation within the above set are 82:7-8. GOD will create a LINK between the creation verses as the Creator, and between 4:119, whereby satan challenged GOD to distort His creations by commanding the human beings. This LINK is revealed for the first time ever while reciting these verses, and is confirmed through the letters of Allah and His messenger.
82:7-8 The One who created you, designed you, and perfected you. In whatever design He chose, He constructed it.
(LINK)
4:119 Part: And I will command them to distort the creation of GOD.
Revealed: The Allah letters are 8 and 9, revealing the diff. of 1. Revealed: The messenger’s letters are 12 and 13, revealing the diff. of 1.
The messenger has stated the Truth, and GOD has therefore confirmed it with the revelation of 1 through His letters and those of the messenger, Alhumdo Lillah.
Being the only CREATOR, the Omnipotent LORD shows us His Power to create, shape, and design the creatures through sets of similar verses. Note the Proofs:
SET #1: 82:7 The One who created you, designed you, and perfected you.
82:8 In whatever design He chose, He constructed it.
SET #2 87:2 He creates and shapes. 87:3 He designs and guides.
Revealed: The 1st Set of verses has Allah letters 4 and 4 – Perfectly Matched.
21
Revealed: The 2nd Set of verses has Allah letters 3 and 3 – Perfectly Matched.
Revealed: Together, the total number of Allah letters are: 4+4+3+3 = 14 – the Miracle of Matching Letters and the Seven Pairs proves the Marvel of GOD’S creations, whereby He is the only ONE who creates, designs, shapes, balances, measures, chooses, and perfects His creations – no one else can do it, Subhan Allah.
Revealed: The messenger’s letters are encoded and arranged as 7 & 5 for the 1st set of verses, and again 7 and 5 for the 2nd set of verses, to highlight the Miracle of perfection in the “Creation, Shaping, and Designing” by GOD, Most Glorified.
Revealed: 1st Set: the messenger’s letters are 12.
2nd Set: the messenger’s letters are 12 – Perfectly Matched, Subhan Allah.
Revealed: Note the chapters in which these verses occur – chapter 82 has 19 verses, and chapter 87 also has 19 verses – Perfectly Matched again.
Revealed: The difference in chapters 82 and 87 is precisely 5. The total number of Allah letters for all the verses in each chapter are 96 and 91, the difference is precisely 5, an awesome proof of Perfection of Matching by the Omnipotent Lord of the Universe.
NOTE that both sets of verses were encoded with Matching letters of Allah, Most Glorified, and those of His messenger. By revealing the Matching Proofs through His letters and those of His human messenger as an example of creation, ALLAH has indeed proven the creation of the entire human race as well as all other creations, to be Perfect to the extent that the word “Perfect” represents and defines, Subhan Allah. To exemplify the perfection of His creations, He has therefore stated and challenged that no one else can create like He can, but at the same time, He has narrated that satan and his allies will try to distort His creations, which is allowed under His system to test their belief in Him and His laws.
16:17 Is One who creates like one who does not create? Would you now take heed?
Revealed: The messenger’s letters are 14 – the example of the human messenger created by GOD and given the Perfect Code of the Seven Pairs is revealed through this verse. Can any of the idols create anything – or even create a code that runs so uniformly through the verses?
22
21:21 Have they found gods on earth who can create?
Revealed: The GV of the messenger’s letters are perfected to be 352 in the verse – the perfection of creation is exemplified just like the Quran is perfect to be 352 through the letters of the messenger.
Revealed: The GV of Allah letters is 81, and GV of messenger’s letters is 352, revealing the sum of 433, the Perfection of everything by the Lord of the Universe is hereby exemplified and proven.
46:4 Part: Show me what on earth did they create?
Revealed: The GV of Allah letters is 66.
Revealed: The GV of Allah letters is 66, and GV of the messenger’s letters
is 362, revealing the diff. of 296 for “messenger”.
When ALLAH 66 sends a messenger 296, He questions those who disbelieve in the messenger out of ego and arrogance and draws their attention to the shameful behavior of acting like gods on earth who cannot even create anything – but still act like gods and lords. The true GOD has proven His Power by revealing His Glorified Name as well as the identity of the messenger who has been given the glorified message.
7:191 Is it not a fact that they are idolizing idols who create nothing, and are themselves created.
7:192 Idols that can neither help them, nor even help themselves.
Revealed: The Allah letters are 8 and 9, revealing the diff. of 1 – ALLAH has proven that HE is ONE and that the false idols and false gods have no power to create anything, nor can they help others or themselves. This pair of verses is accompanied by a pair of verses on guidance sent through the messenger, with the built-in revelation to prove that the messengers are not idols, and disbelief in them definitely constitutes idol worship.
7:193 When you invite them to the guidance, they do not follow you. Thus, it is the same for them whether you invite them, or remain silent.
7:198 When you invite them to the guidance, they do not hear. And you see them looking at you, but they do not see.
Revealed: The Aleefs are 8 and 7, revealing the diff. of 1. Revealed: The Allah letters are 15 and 16, revealing the diff. of 1.
Revealed: The messenger’s letters are 28 and 28 – Perfectly Matched.

The distortion of GOD’S creation can be done by satan in many different ways. He will entice the people to change their genders – male into female – female into male – or become transsexuals, homosexuals and lesbians, thus changing the natural order of sexuality created by GOD for males and females. This in turn will effectively put a stop to the process of creation – and distort the primary purpose behind the command of marriage. He will also make them do funny and weird things by painting their bodies, hair, to make tattoos on their bodies so that they look different than what GOD has created them to be, to entice humans to do cloning to make them believe that they can also create, to entice the people to do cosmetic surgeries to alter their nose, eyes, faces, stomachs, breasts, and other parts of the body - all of this to make the people believe that they can enhance their images - and much more – all this to show displeasure in what GOD has bestowed upon them. Knowing ahead of time what He has allowed satan to do and the limits placed on Him, The Most Wise GOD has therefore given appropriate verses for the believers to refer to and to know that whatever happens on earth is in accordance with His will. The words of GOD should assure the hearts of believers and strengthen their faith when they see or hear sinful acts or utterances – and to know that they are definitely the “STEPS OF satan” from which they should seek refuge in ALLAH, the Forgiver, the Merciful. As a matter of reference for this paragraph, whereby humans feel discontent with what GOD has given them, you can refer and read some of the following verses: 11:86, 57:22-23, 28:80, 18:39, 53:48, 10:58, 20:131.
Note: Any restorative or cosmetic surgery done to repair or recover from the damages of accidents, burns, or disease, for the sake of restoring your health and to stay alive would not violate God’s laws under such circumstances. But those done out of lust as mentioned by me earlier do violate God’s laws as they are enticements of satan.
Distortion of food products by altering them
Most of you probably have not paid much attention to the alteration and distortion that has been happening over the last few decades to the food products. This is a very detailed subject by itself, but I will tell you briefly that the milk, honey, vegetables, fruits, grains, cooking oils, and everything else that you consume has undergone changes to convert it from the natural order created by GOD to something else inspired by satan. The livestock created by GOD and meant to eat certain natural feed is now fed by the humans with altered food to make them bigger in size and grow faster – all of this is done to make bigger and quicker profits. It is also done to grow larger quantities of fruits and vegetables
24
to presumably feed an ever-increasing population on earth. The milk does not come anymore from grass-fed cows, goats, and sheep, but from animals that are given hormones, injections, and fed foods that are not in line with what God meant it to be. Furthermore, the milk is pasteurized at high heat, thus removing and killing the essential and good bacteria and enzymes created by GOD to benefit the humans. This kind of distortion and alteration of GOD’S creation has increased the number of diseases and allergies in humans. The whole wheat flour has been converted into bleached white flour lacking the essential nutrients created by GOD. Similarly, the vegetables and fruits are grown using chemicals which are harmful to human health. The industries of agriculture and farming have been totally corrupted and distorted to satisfy the demands of greedy corporate entities. The enormous and large display of drugs and medicines in lavish, big pharmacy stores is evidence of how well the pharmaceutical companies are doing – they are happy with the status quo of selling more and more medicines to an ailing population. Even the basic and essential resource of water has been contaminated and altered by the humans. You cannot drink water safely from taps anymore around most of the countries. Drinking bottled water has become commonplace and fashionable. This is known to GOD and He has alerted us by giving the following verse:
67:30 Say, “What if your water sinks away, who will provide you with pure water?”
Revealed: The Allah letters are 8, and the messenger’s initials are 17, revealing the Pattern of the messenger’s name, 178.
Revealed: The Allah letters are 8, and the Arabic letters in the verse are 40, revealing the Pattern and the Sign of 8,40 for H.M. – the Quranic Initials which form part of the messenger’s last and first names, according to chapters 40 through 46.
Revealed: The messenger’s letters are 21, and the Arabic letters are
40, revealing the diff. of 19.
We do live in a time and age whereby “pure water” is hardly found anymore, except a few places on earth. GOD has alerted us to this fact through the above verse. satan knows that the humans love material things, and are lustful and greedy for more. GOD has stated this fact in the Quran, and therefore, satan manipulates the humans once again through their weaknesses to distort the natural order of creation of food products, as I have stated above. The net result of this distortion is the inevitable consequence of bad health, low immune systems, abnormal mental behavior, brain disorders, insomnia, mood swings and tantrums, weakening of muscular systems in the body, digestive problems,
25
diabetes, and much more - all of this leads to misery, suffering and increased number of diseases. When the human beings are despondent and in misery, there is a great likelihood that they will revert from GOD and forget the blessings upon them. As the human body is designed by GOD to be dependent on the foods and liquids for growth, sustenance, and nourishment; the distortion of such products has immense consequences of disturbing the emotional, mental, and physical state and minds of the humans. The simple rationale of satan behind this would be:
“When they cannot eat right, they cannot think right – when they cannot think right, they cannot believe or act right”. The phrase I have used should shed light on the “steps of satan” to corrupt and mislead the humans en masse.
SOME OF THE STEPS OF satan
To mislead the humans from believing in GOD and His Revelations.
To make them forget GOD’S commands and laws.
Encourage and advocate idol worship by disregarding God’s laws.
Promote and advocate human scholars to rival God.
To make them forget to observe Salat and Zakat.
To encourage them to fight and wage wars for unjust reasons.
To create animosity and hatred towards each other.
To spread evil and vice.
To shed blood, promote cruelty and torture.
To spread persecution and oppression.
To disregard God’s laws and act unjust towards each other.
To spread immorality.
To distort the creations of God.
To spread falsehood against God by lying and attributing lies to Him.
To create chaos and fear.
To encourage lusts and create illusion about life.
Promote ego and self-opinions to create disparity and sects.
If the followers of Quran disbelieve in even one verse or have doubts about it, or disobey a living messenger for any reason, then GOD appoints the devil to be their constant companion, as given in verses 43:36-37. A case in point is of a believing woman who refused to believe and implement verse 4:34, which outlined her role as a wife with the husband as the bread earner. She harbored doubts in her heart without expressing them, but GOD knew her hidden thoughts. Consequently, GOD is the One who sent her astray to be possessed by the devils, as per verses 6:71 and 43:36-37. This was naturally shocking to all the
26
other believers BUT it sets a profound example for them to take heed from this precedent, as GOD'S mercy should not be taken for granted. When GOD withdraws His mercy and guidance, one can see and observe a radically different human emerge with a different voice, expression, and personality, as compared to the one you knew before. GOD'S mercy and guidance is specifically reserved for those who are sincere and believe in the entire Quran, while upholding it throughout their lives and remain steadfast in submission till death.
The lusts and greed of the humans is easy for satan to manipulate. This in turn has a direct impact on the “justice system” that GOD has commanded the humans to follow. Those who are lustful and greedy for money cannot be fair in delivering justice to others. Those who do not fear GOD cannot deliver justice fairly to others either. You can now realize how satan’s practice and efforts of misleading in one area affects another, which in turn affects another area of life, and it goes on till the whole purpose of life becomes an illusion in the eyes and minds of his subjects. These steps of satan end up corrupting every sphere of life, and spiral into a vicious circle from one sphere to another – leaving nothing intact in its path – a grand scheme to turn the humans into despondent and unappreciative creatures of GOD.
100:6 The human being is unappreciative of his LORD.
100:7 He bears witness to this fact.
100:8 He loves material things excessively.
96:6 Indeed, the human transgresses.
96:7 When he becomes rich.
An unusual kind of distortion takes place in some poorer countries of the world, whereby there are groups of gangs engaged in the business of collecting charities from ordinary people, by putting beggars on the streets. Such beggars are mostly children or women who are bought from others, or kidnapped for this purpose from different towns and villages. They are the ones who go out on the streets and collect charity for the leaders of the gangs. Before they are put on the streets for begging, the gang leaders purposely disfigure them by cutting off their hands, ears, legs, or even burn and scar their faces in order to create sympathy towards their plight in the hearts of the donors. This kind of disfigurement (a distortion of GOD’S creation by satan) is done to draw empathy from the donors of charity, and to make them look genuinely helpless, poverty stricken, and disenfranchised. The leaders of the gangs do this to ensure that the beggars are successful in collecting as much charity as possible for them. A small
27
share is allocated to the collectors and beggars of charity, while the lion’s share goes to the gang leaders. This kind of distortion is woefully done by the criminal gang leaders to enrich themselves at the cost of enslaving and oppressing the innocent people, who suffer at the hands of their masters and captors. satan will go to any length to distort the creation of GOD. If you ask the people who collect such charities or their masters, their only response would be: “We are doing this in the name of God, and for the sake of God”. An interesting part of specific verses will address such idols and their followers.
6:136 They even set aside a share of GOD’S provisions of crops and livestock, saying, “This share belongs to GOD,” according to their claims, “and this share belongs to our idols.” However, what was set aside for their idols never reached GOD, while the share they set aside for GOD invariably went to their idols. Miserable indeed is their judgment.
6:137 Thus were the idol worshipers duped by their idols, to the extent of killing their own children. In fact, their idols inflict great pain upon them, and confuse their religion for them. Had GOD willed, they would not have done it. You shall disregard them and their fabrications.
satan has steps involved to mislead and entice. The people who cooperate with the devil are following the steps of satan. If they change their behavior, they have a chance to ask God for forgiveness, repent to Him and come back to righteousness.
There are some commands in the Quran, which when violated constitute a gross sin, making the follower of the scripture an idol worshiper. There are acts and utterances that humans can, and will do, which constitute steps of satan. The disbeliever or the idol worshiper is destined for Hell anyways, whether they commit any of the above acts or not. But the believers who have decided to uphold GOD’S Absolute Authority sometimes inadvertently, and out of ignorance, may end up following the steps of satan. They are, however, supposed to remind themselves to become “seers” (of Quran). When they seek refuge in Allah and open the Quran, they have the chance to ask Him for forgiveness and be forgiven (7:200-202).
The righteous are commanded by GOD to do the things that please Him in order to gain His approval and mercy. The sole purpose of our creation is to worship GOD – this cannot be achieved till the humans uphold His commands and reject everything that satan commands them to do. The following are verses to implore GOD to do the righteous things in order to please Him.
28
27:19 Part: And said, “My Lord, direct me to be appreciative of the blessings You have bestowed upon me and my parents, and to do the righteous works that please You. Admit me by Your mercy into the company of Your righteous servants.”
Revealed: The Allah letters are 23, and messenger's letters are 42, revealing the diff. of 19.

Put into context the verses 27:19 and 46:15 “doing the righteous works that please GOD”, compared to 24:21, 2:208, 7:30 which tell us about “following the steps of satan and taking him as a lord” and the meaning becomes pretty clear, as to what a believing person should or should not be doing.
2:208 O you who believe, you shall embrace total submission; do not follow the steps of Satan, for he is your most ardent enemy.
2:209 If you backslide, after the clear proofs have come to you, then know that
GOD is Almighty, Most Wise.
24:20 GOD showers you with His grace and mercy. GOD is Most Kind towards the believers, Most Merciful.
24:21 O you who believe, do not follow the steps of satan. Anyone who follows the steps of satan should know that he advocates evil and vice. If it were not for GOD's grace towards you, and His mercy, none of you would have been purified. But GOD purifies whomever He wills. GOD is Hearer, Knower.
NOTE the comparable portions of both verses addressing the believers not to follow the steps of satan, and commands them to embrace total Submission. How can this be achieved? The verses explain to the believers to refrain from following the steps of satan, who only advocates evil and vice.
2:208 O you who believe, you shall embrace total submission; do not follow the steps of satan, for he is your most ardent enemy.
24:21 Part: O you who believe, do not follow the steps of satan. Anyone who follows the steps of satan should know that he advocates evil and vice.
Revealed: The Aleefs of Absoluteness are 13 and 14, revealing the diff. of 1.
Revealed: The Allah letters are 23 and 22, revealing the diff. of 1.
The 2nd part of verse 24:21 informs the believers that they are guided and purified only because of the grace and mercy of GOD, for which they should be appreciative. They can show their due regard for GOD by refusing to follow the steps of satan. GOD purifies some people through His duly appointed and chosen messengers. The proof provides evidence to this fact.
24:21 Part 2: If it were not for GOD's grace towards you, and His mercy, none of you would have been purified. But GOD purifies whomever He wills. GOD is Hearer, Knower.

Revealed: The Allah letters are 25, and the messenger’s letters are 41, revealing the sum of 66.
The above numbers provide further proofs of authenticity, as: 25,41 = 7 x 363.
Both numbers 2541 and 363 will now open up further revelations and flow and merge to become verses 25:41 and 36:3 and 3:63, Subhan Allah.
25:41 When they saw you, they always ridiculed you: "Is this the one chosen by
GOD to be a messenger?
36:3 Most assuredly, you are one of the messengers.
3:63 If they turn away, then GOD is fully aware of the evildoers.
The Miracle of GOD is pretty clear as the numbers opened up 3 verses and all of them are on the subject of messengers. This means that GOD’S grace and mercy in purifying the people as mentioned in 24:21 comes through His messengers. Alhumdo Lillah.
There is another verse, 3:103, which is similar to 24:21 and tells us that it is GOD’S blessing upon the believers that they used to be enemies of one another and He reconciled their hearts, as well as saved them from the pit of Fire. By comparing the 2 verses, the profound Revelation of 1 is evident, as an assured guidance and mercy from GOD.
3:103 You shall hold fast to the rope of GOD, all of you, and do not be divided. Recall GOD's blessings upon you - you used to be enemies and He reconciled your hearts. By His grace, you became brethren. You were at the brink of a pit of fire, and He saved you therefrom. GOD thus explains His revelations for you, that you may be guided.
24:21 O you who believe, do not follow the steps of satan. Anyone who follows the steps of satan should know that he advocates evil and vice. If it were not for GOD's grace towards you, and His mercy, none of you would have been purified. But GOD purifies whomever He wills. GOD is Hearer, Knower.

You have seen and have been explained the system pertaining to the role of the devil by GOD. Therefore, you will now see verses like 17:38, in which there is a clear command that “all bad behavior is condemned by GOD”. The bad behavior is inspired by satan and is therefore condemned by GOD. The inscription or carving of tattoos comes under the “bad behavior” which is encouraged and inspired by satan. Bad behavior will be one of the initial steps of satan to mislead the human being into further serious steps of disbelief.
17:38 All bad behavior is condemned by your Lord.
Revealed: The Arabic letters are 24, and verse number is 38, revealing the diff. of 14 – Seven Pairs.

17:38 Part 1: All kinds of bad behavior.
17:38 Part 2: Is condemned by your Lord.
Revealed: The messenger’s letters are 5 and 4, revealing the diff. of 1.
The righteous have no need for tattoos, or to alter their bodies, change the color of their skin, eyes, hair, or to do anything cosmetic for personal lusts or pleasures, in order to satisfy their egos or to please others. They would rather
32
focus on God’s commands and how to please God. They will be content with whatever God has granted and given them, no matter how little or how small. The simplest way of looking at this is that GOD grants different terms of life to people, decides the height of the people, the mental and intellectual capabilities, and so much more. There is no need to tamper with His creative design, unless one is bent upon displeasing GOD out of arrogance or disbelief. Upon death, you cannot take these temporal lusts and distortions with yourselves. For example, whether you died with your hair long or short will not make any difference in your real accountability of righteousness or disbelief. By following the steps of satan, you distance yourself from GOD, and severely reduce your chances of staying guided. In addition, by following satan for some time, you then belong with him, by proving your rebellion against God’s commands and warnings, and are exiled by GOD, His guidance, and His mercy.
Disbelief or showing displeasure in what GOD grants us amounts to being unappreciative to Him. The disbelieving people will demonstrate their displeasure in many different ways. Some will complain about making them poor, some by saying that He took away their parents or relatives, some will lament about their misfortunes in life, others will complain about the short term of life, yet there are many who keep saying that GOD has not been fair to them, or anything else their minds can think of. The righteous do not complain – they are, and remain appreciative of GOD’S blessings all the time. They express and respond to GOD by worshiping Him night and day in the manner dictated by Him. This is the difference between the righteous and the disbelievers.
The lady (Anushka) who asked this question on “tattoos” should marry the man if she approves of him, but she should not refuse to marry him because of a tattoo on his body. Both of them cannot comprehend God’s system and commands till they fully believe in the entire Quran. The tattoo is just one step of satan – whereas those who do not uphold the entire Quran have completed all the steps of satan towards ensuring disbelief in GOD and His Words. The first righteous step is to believe in GOD and His Words through the entire Quran – each verse – by discarding all forms of idols. This effort in righteousness will itself take care of avoiding the “steps of satan” as outlined by me in this detailed sermon.
7:26 Part 1: O children of Adam, we have provided you with garments to cover your bodies, as well as for luxury.
7:26 Part 2: But the best garment is the garment of righteousness. These are some of GOD’S signs, that they may take heed.

7:26 Part: These are some of GOD’S Signs, that they may take heed.
Revealed: The GV of Allah letters is 162, revealing “Al-Islam” or “Submission”. The religion of GOD, Al-Islam, is sacredly encoded with all kinds of clarifying Signs through the Quran for those who wish to take heed and work righteousness in this life.
I implore my LORD to give wisdom to the sincere believers to understand this sermon, which is pretty detailed, and to prevent them from committing all forms of sins – obvious and hidden. GOD is in full control over our lives and no one knows our future except HIM. Implore Him to keep you in a state of Submission throughout your life. Those who die as righteous submitters would have achieved their goal and fulfilled their purpose of life on earth. Everything should be done to please GOD, rather than pleasing yourselves or others.
Peace be upon the messengers.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Universe.
