THE REASONS BEHIND THE WORSHIP PRACTICES COMMANDED BY GOD
I seek refuge in Allah from satan the rejected.
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful.
Chapter 97 “Al-Qadr” is translated as “The Destiny”. The Quran was revealed in the month of Ramadan as a guide for the Believers and to serve as a warning to the Disbelievers. The month of fasting is decreed for the believers in Ramadan. Each individual’s destiny is tied to the decision of their acceptance of the Proclamation that God is 1, through 47:19, which states: “You shall know that – there is no god beside GOD” and ask forgiveness for your sins and the sins of all believing men and women. GOD is fully aware of your “DECISIONS AND YOUR ULTIMATE DESTINY”. The Quran was revealed by God through the participation of two different kinds of messengers; an angel messenger called Gabriel; and a human messenger called Muhammad. 97:4 tells us: “The angels and the Spirit descend therein, by their Lord’s leave, to carry out every command.” Using the same number 97 in one of the earliest chapters – chapter 2, verse 97, God states:
2:97 Say, “Anyone who opposes Gabriel should know that he has brought down this (Quran) into your heart, in accordance with GOD’s will, confirming previous scriptures, and providing guidance and good news for the BELIEVERS.
NOTE: The chapter and verse number is 2:97 and the GV of “a messenger”- “Rasoola” is 297. Proving through the contents of the verse and the number itself that an angel messenger brought the Quran to the HEART of a human messenger. (Remember last week’s khutbah about our hearts: the believing and the disbelieving hearts)
The first Statement revealed was BISMILLAH AL-RAHMAN AL-RAHEEM with the GV of 786, and indeed, it PROVES to be so:
Miracle: Allah 66 + Gabriel 245 + Al Quran 383 + Muhammad 92 = 786 (Subhan Allah). This Statement introduces and connects us to His Name – ALLAH – Lord of the Universe and is based on 19 Arabic letters.
1. ACT OF WORSHIP – SHAHADAH:
17:110 Part: Say, “Call Him GOD, or call Him Al-Rahman; whichever name you use,
to Him belongs the best names.
Miracle: The Allah letters are 24; and messenger’s letters are 23, revealing 1 God. (Praise be to Him).
NOTE: Both the STATEMENTS; the “Shahadah” and the “Bismillah”, comprise only of His name; Allah or His Attributes; but no inclusion of any “human name”. This initial TEST whether we accept and recite these verses the way Allah has revealed exposes the vast majority of humans as disbelievers and hypocrites. NOTE: the verse number here is 110, which is also GV of the other form of “Shahadah”: “There is no god but He.”
2:163 YOUR GOD IS ONE GOD; there is no god but He, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
This is the “first occurrence” of the “Shahadah” in the Quran. Note the Miracle, therefore.
Miracle: Chapter 2 + verse 163 = 165, being the GV of “Al-Samad” & the other form of “Shahadah”; (“La Elaha Ella Allah”).
Miracle: The Allah letters are 19; and messenger’s letters are 18, REVEALING 1 GOD.
Why does the messenger’s name appear with a difference of 1, along with Allah’s Letters in such profound statements? Because the messengers are inspired the Shahadah, as we shall see from the Quran.
10:16 Part: Say, “Had ALLAH willed, I would not have recited it to you, nor would you have known anything about it.
COMMENT: In order to mention God’s name, His Shahadah, teachings from Quran, His Messages & Miracles; one has to be guided by God and Inspired, as the verse proves it.
Miracle: The Allah letters are 15, and messenger’s letters are 16; REVEALING 1 GOD. This is the REASON why we have to proclaim the “SHAHADAH”. After receiving His Message that He is One, we acknowledge and proclaim the same, without including any human name. The “INSPIRATION” is further Revealed through the following Statements:
“Allah is One”: In Arabic, it is “Allah Wahid”. The Allah letters are 5, messenger’s letters are 4, giving us the REVELATION of 1 God.
2
If we write: “Your god is one God.” In Arabic: “Elahokum Ellahun Wahidun.” The Allah letters are 6, and messenger’s letters are 5, again giving us the “REVELATION of 1 GOD”.
Even if we write in Arabic, “Innama Elahokum Ellahun Wahidun” meaning “That your god is one God”; the Miracle is very apparent and does not change.
Miracle: The Allah letters are 8, and messenger’s letters are 7; giving us the
“REVELATION of 1 GOD”.
The following verse proves the Inspiration given to me:
41:6 Part 1: Say, “I am no more than a human being like you, who has been INSPIRED that your god is ONE GOD.
Miracle: Up to “Wahidun” – “One”, messenger’s initials are 19, which is GV of “Wahid”.
41:6 Part 2: You shall be devoted to Him, and ask His forgiveness. Woe to the idol worshippers.
Miracle: Messenger’s initials are precisely 14. This verse therefore Reveals the Supreme Miracle of 19 & 14, God’s Signatures, and the Inspiration given to me.
Now you have seen with your eyes, and you know, that God does indeed inspire the Shahadah to His messengers. God is Omnipotent; He can create anything and prove anything. God be Praised.
2. REASONS for SALAT: Once you have acknowledged that He is One, you have to remember Him and make Contact with Him, as the verses shall tell us.
87:15 By remembering the name of his Lord and observing the Salat.
42:38 RESPONDING TO ALLAH: They respond to their Lord by observing the Salat. Their affairs are decided after due consultation among themselves, and from our provisions to them, they give.
Miracle: The Allah letters are 14 up to Salat, and 19 in the entire verse. Proving the Miracle of 14 and 19.
3
17:110 Part: ADDRESSING GOD BY WATCHING THE TONE OF SALAT: You shall
not utter your Salat too loudly, nor secretly; use a moderate tone.
29:45 REMEMBRANCE OF GOD: You shall recite what is revealed to you of the Scripture, and observe the Salat, for the Salat prohibits evil and vice. But the remembrance of GOD is the Greatest. (is the most important objective). GOD knows everything you do.
Miracle: The Allah letters are 36, and messenger’s initials are 35; Revealing Salat is for One God.
29:45 Part: “But the remembrance of ALLAH is the Greatest.” In Arabic, “Waleh Zikr-ul-Allah Akbar.”
Miracle: The Allah letters are 6, and messenger’s letters are 5; Revealing the 1 God and the Importance of Salat that is observed for Him.
Miracle: The GV’s of Allah letters is 97, and the messenger’s letters is 98; again Revealing 1 God.
NOTE: If you do not observe the Salat and do not perform the other acts of worship and the duties commanded by Him, you have essentially “forgotten God”. A confirmation of the consequences is revealed herein:
59:19 Part: CONSEQUENCES OF FORGETTING GOD: Do not be like those who forgot ALLAH, so He made them forget themselves.
Miracle: The Allah letters are 14, and the messenger’s letters are 19; Revealing the Supreme Miracle of 14-19 and Confirming the seriousness of this verse.
59:19 Part 2: These are the wicked.
Miracle: The Entire verse has Allah letters as 19, therefore has the Miracle of
Allah letters 14 and 19 split up in the verse to Reveal both the Miracles.
3. REASON FOR GIVING ZAKAT: Everything belongs to God, and He is the One who provides for all creatures. He owns and controls all the wealth in the universe. Therefore, we are asked to part with our possessions that really do not belong to us. When we give out Zakat and Charity in God’s name, He is very Gracious to treat it as a loan to God which will be paid back multiplied manifold. He has assigned different
4
ranks to the people on earth; and tests us with increase or reduction in provisions; and whether we share with each other or not, as commanded.
57:10 Part: Why do you not spend in the cause of GOD, when GOD possesses all the wealth in the heavens and the earth?
57:18 Surely, the charitable men and women, have loaned GOD a loan of goodness. They will receive their reward multiplied manifold; they have deserved a generous recompense.
35:29 An Investment with No Losses: Surely, those who recite the Book of GOD, observe the Salat, and from our provisions to them they spend - secretly and publicly – are engaged in an investment that never loses.
92:18-21 Who gives from his money to charity. Seeking nothing in return. Seeking only his Lord, The Most High. He will certainly attain salvation.
6:141 Part: A Reminder to think of the Poor: Eat from their fruits, and give the due alms on the “day of harvest,” and do not waste anything. He does not love the wasters.
2:267 COMMAND FOR BELIEVERS: O you who believe, you shall give to charity from the good things you earn, and from what we have produced for you from the earth. Do not pick out the bad therein to give away, when you yourselves do not accept it unless your eyes are closed. You should know that GOD is Rich, Praiseworthy.
2:272 Part: Any charity you give is for your own good. Any charity you give shall be for the sake of GOD. Any charity you give will be repaid to you, without the least injustice.
4. REASON FOR SEYAAM (Fasting): It involves abstaining from food and drinks from Dawn to Sunset. This gives us the feeling and realization as to how the poor feel who are not blessed to have or to eat from God’s provisions. If we do not give our rightful share of charities of money and provisions, even after going through the exercise of fasting; then it becomes meaningless. The purpose of fasting is defeated when people engage in lavish Iftar parties to entertain themselves, their friends and relatives, and do not develop the “concept of hunger and thirst” which the poor go through each day. This is the reason that the other option for not fasting is to feed the poor. Food and drinks are essential for life, and we should all be conscious of the fact that there are a lot of people on earth who lack these basics to survive.

51:19 A portion of their money was set aside for the beggar and the needy.
76:8-9 They donate their favorite food to the poor, the orphan, and the captive. We feed you for the sake of GOD; we expect no reward from you, nor thanks.
All of these teachings and others in the Quran are the Guidance of God, and the end of verse 2:185 explains it all as the reason for Fasting:
2:185 Part: REASON FOR FASTING: “And to glorify GOD for guiding you, and to express your appreciation.”
Miracle: The entire verse has 184 Arabic letters, and the verse number is
185; revealing the “REVELATION OF 1 GOD”.
Verse 2:184 has 122 Arabic letters, therefore both verses combined have 122 + 184 Arabic letters, which equal to 306 total Arabic letters. This is the new proof and reveals that the 2 important verses on the command of Fasting are marked with 306 Arabic letters, revealing the full name of the messenger, Glory be to my Lord.
5. REASON FOR HAJJ: The Command to observe Hajj and the Sanctity of the pilgrimage is given through 2:197 emphasizing on our moral behavior throughout the journey and to achieve righteousness by observing God and His commands.
2:197 Hajj shall be observed in the specified months. Whoever sets out to observe Hajj shall refrain from sexual intercourse, misconduct, and arguments throughout Hajj. Whatever good you do, GOD is fully aware thereof. As you prepare your provisions for the journey, the best provision is “righteousness.” You shall observe Me, O you who possess intelligence.
Revealed: The Salat and the Zakat are interconnected. The Allah letters are 4 and 3 in each word, revealing the difference of 1. After achieving and observing them, the believers strive to do the Seyaam and the Hajj, which are also interconnected. The Allah letters are 3 and 2 in each word, revealing the difference of 1. The intelligent ones have the eyes to see and witness and appreciate God’s Miracles, as shown below:
2:185 is the verse on Fasting; it has 184 Arabic letters. 2:197 is the verse on Hajj; it has 118 Arabic letters.
6
Miracle: The difference in 184 and 118 is 66, which is the GV of ALLAH. (Praiseworthy).
PURPOSE OF HAJJ: The purpose of Hajj given is the same as that for Seyaam (Fasting).
2:198 Part: “You shall commemorate Him for guiding you; before this, you had gone astray. (See ending portion of 2:185 on Seyaam).
2:199 ASKING GOD FOR FORGIVENESS: You shall file together, with the rest of the people who file, and ask GOD for forgiveness. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
REASON FOR COMMEMORATING GOD DURING HAJJ: (For providing us the
Livestock)
22:28 They may seek commercial benefits, and they shall commemorate GOD’s name during the specified days for providing them with the livestock. “Eat therefrom and feed the despondent and the poor.”
22:37 Neither their meat, nor their blood reaches GOD. What reaches Him is your righteousness. He has subdued them for you, that you may show your appreciation by “glorifying GOD for guiding you. Give good news to the charitable.”
NOTE the similarity of the portion of verse in the command of Seyaam, and the Hajj, as follows:
2:185 Part: “And to glorify GOD for guiding you.”
22:37 Part: “By glorifying GOD for guiding you.”
Miracle: Messenger’s letters are 10 and 9, revealing the “REVELATION OF 1 GOD”.
All of these worship practices are for the Believers, who sincerely believe in 165, being the value of “Al-Samad” and the “Shahadah”. Once you believe that the Lord of the Universe is One and has the Absolute Authority over everything, you will do as He has commanded you, to fulfill your Pledge of 165 that you made before coming to Earth. The following Miracle will prove what I have just said:
AL-SALAT ---- AL-ZAKAT --- AL-SEYAAM --- AL-HAJJ
7
8
Revealed: The GV of Allah letters in each word are: 66 + 36 + 32 + 31 = 165. God be Glorified.
Revealed: There are 12 Letters in the Shahadah, and these 4 acts of worship have precisely 12 Allah letters.
Furthermore, the value of Shahadah and Al-Samad, (165), also has a BASIS--- Allah, the Lord of the universe, wants us to identify and acknowledge Him through His 2 Mathematical Codes, that are really profound Miracles, through which He reveals that He is indeed One in all aspects; and does not need the assistance of anyone. Moreover, through these Secret Codes and Miracles, He also exposes the “false gods- the jinns and humans” who act and command without His Authority thus distorting Islam and lying against God. These phenomenal Miracles also expose the hypocrites and the disbelievers who refuse to obey God’s Authority when He reveals Messages from His Scripture through His messengers. HERE IS THE PROOF: First He revealed the Code of 19 and now He has revealed the Code of 14.
Miracle: 66 + 19, + 66 + 14 = 165, proving He has personally Revealed these Codes, and the following and ending verses sums it up.
27:84: WHEN THEY ARRIVE, HE WILL SAY, “YOU HAVE REJECTED MY REVELATIONS, BEFORE ACQUIRING KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THEM. IS THIS NOT WHAT YOU DID?
27:85 Part: THEY WILL INCUR THE REQUITAL FOR THEIR WICKEDNES.
27:86 HAVE THEY NOT SEEN THAT WE MADE THE NIGHT FOR THEIR REST, AND THE DAY LIGHTED? THESE SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT PROOFS FOR PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE.
27:87 Part: ON THE DAY WHEN THE HORN IS BLOWN, EVERYONE IN THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WILL BE HORRIFIED, EXCEPT THOSE CHOSEN BY GOD.
Miracle: The Allah letters are precisely 66 up to His name, ALLAH, the last WORD in the above verses. All Praise and Glory be to Allah, Lord of the Universe.
Miracle: The messenger’s letters up to “Allah” are 110 (“Shahadah”), and the
Arabic letters are 202 (Lord).
Let these Miracles open up peoples’ eyes and hearts. God be Glorified.
Peace be upon the messengers.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Universe.
