THIS SERIES WIL~ HAVE COLLOQUIAL ARABIC OF DIFFERENT COUNTRIES MIXED IN ALSO. THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THIS SERIES IS TO TEACH THE WESTERN WORLD MUSLIMS THE CLASSICAL ARABIC OF THE QUR'AAN SO THAT THEY CAN READ THE QURJAAN THEMSELVES. ' I. AS SAYYID AL IMAM1 ISA AL HAADI AL MAHDI) AM UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT IF MORE MUSLIMS OF THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE UNDERSTOOD THE CLASSICAL ARABIC OF THE QUR'AANJ THEY WOULD NOT BE SO EASILY DECEIVED BY THE WOLVES IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING FROM PAKISTAN; AFGHANISTAN. SUDAN, SOMALI, SAUDIA ARABIA. AND EGYPT; JUST TO NAME A FEW. THESE PEOPLE COME HERE UNFAMILIAR WITH QUR'AANIC ARABIC, AND BECAUSE THEY RUN OFF THEIR MOUTHS WITH A LITTLE D1ALECT. THEY LEAV~ THE IMPRESSION ON YOU THAT THEY ARE SCHOLARS. AL QUR'AAN 43:3-4 j . ./ i -:- ....... "....... ,. ,.. .. l_ );:... _..

(3) AND SURELY IT (AL QUR'AAN) IS FROM THE MOTHER SCRIPTURE WHICH IS WITH US (ALLAH AND THE ANGELS), EXALTED. FULL OF WISDOM. (4)H MOST OF THESE PEOPLE DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE QUR'AANIC ARABIC. I KEEP STRESSING HTHE QUR'AANIC ARABicH BECAUSE IT'S TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM EGYPTIAN CLASSICALJ SUDANESE CLASSICAL OR MORROCAN CLASSICAL. QUR'AANIC CLASSICAL ARABIC IS UNIQUE WITHIN ITSELF AND IT'S VERY COMPLICATED IF NOT TAUGHT IN THE RIGHT METHOD. - AL QUR'AAN 12:1-2 - r:; cD ~~J1j~>~(\;~d)l;l0 ~f~f~\':~_)\ HALIF-ALLAH; LAM-NIGHT OF POWER, RA-THE ONE SENT (RASUWL) THESE ARE THE SIGNS OF A CLEAR SCRIPTURE. (1) SURELY WE (ALLAH AND THE ANGE~S) SENT DOWN AN ARABIC QUR'AAN SO THAT PERHAPS YOU ALL WILL BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND IT. (2)H THE METHOD OF TEACHING HERE IS THE WAY A CHILD WOULD LEARN. THIS IS NOT MEANT TO TEACH YOU GRAMMAR, ADVANCED GRAMMAR, OR ALL THE ADVANCED TERMINOLOGIES THAT MEN TEACH IN UNIVERSITIES, OR IN COMMUNITIES TO SUSTAIN JOBS FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME, THIS ON THE OTHER HAND IS DONE ON A DAY-TO-DAY CONVERSATION LEVEL WITH PICTURES SO YOU MAY LEARN LIKE A CHILD, CLEARLY BUT SWIFTLY. THERE WILL BE TAPES TO FOLLOW EACH LESSON) BUT FIRST AND FOREMOST, LEARN YOUR ALPHABET AND VOWELS, THEN YOU'RE ON YOUR WAY. IF THERE ARE ANY ARABIC SPEAKING MUSLIMS AMONG YOU WHO CAN READ, GATHER THEM. ANYONE WHO SPEAKS ARABIC CAN FOLLOI'/ THIS PROCEEDURE IF THEY CAN READ AND \"RITE. MAKE THEM STAY TO THE PROCEEDURE AND IF THEY DO THIS) WE WILL ALL HAVE OUR OWN _CLASSICAL ARABIC BASED ON THE OUR'AAN IN THEWESTERN HEMISPHERE. THIS WILL ELIMINATE MOST OF THE LIES AND S'O-'CALLED ~1USLIM SECTS THAT ARE FABRICATED BY PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW THE TRUTH. lA I AM AGAIN TRYING, MY CHILDREN, TO FIND A WAY TO HELP YOU ALL BECOME ONE UNDER ONE KHALIFAT.

I" AS SAYY!D AL IMAAM ISA AL HAADI AL MAHDI. FEEL THERE IS NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN UNDERSTANDING THE CLASSICAL ARABIC LANGUAGE OF THE QUR'AAN. WITH THIS CLEAR UNDERSTANDING. YOU WILL SEE THE TRUTH IN OUR PAMPHLETS AND TEACHINGS. IF MORE PEOPLE UNDERSTOOD ARABIC" MOST OF THE LEADERS AND SO-CALLED SCHOLARS THAT TRAN.SLATE INTO ENGLI SH WOULD BECOME OBSOLETE, MOST OF THEIR TRANSLATIONS ARE OPINIONS NOT BASED ON WORD-BYWORD MEANINGS OR DEFINITIONS AS FOUND IN THE QUR'AAN • • . ~. ANY IMAAM" WHO DOES NOT READ AND WRITE ARA13IC, CANNOT TRANSLATE THE QUR'AAN FOR YOU AND EXPLAIN IT. IS NOT AN IMAAM OR SHAIKH. I D6N'T CARE WHAT POSITION THESE MEN TAKE IN ANY COMMUNITY. THESE WESTERN WORLD LEADERS ARE JUST GANG LEADERS LOOKING TO RULE PEOPLE WHO WI LL SUPPORT AND ~INANCE THEM. THEy'RE NOT CONCERNED WITH YOUR FUTURE OR THE FUTURE OF YOUR CHILDREN" THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN.

THEY MUST BUY LAND AND CONSTRUCT MASAAJID (PLACES OF PRAYER) AND SCHOOLS ON THE LAND. THEY MUST EITHER BRING IN TEACHERS TO TEACH YOUR CHILDREN ARABIC ACCORDING TO THE SYSTEM WHICH I'M GIVING YOUJ OR THE LIKES OF IT. IF·YOU GIVE IT TO THEMJ fH~Y WILL AGREE THAT IT)S A PERFECT SYSTEM. IF YOU DON'T BECIEV~ MEJ TEST IT BY WAY OF YOUR YEMENESEJ EGYPTIANJ SYRIANJ OR JORDANIAN FRIENDS, GIVE IT TO THEM AND SAY: "IS THIS GOOD ARABIC?"J WATCH THEM SURRENDER TO THE FACT. THIS IS A NECESSITY! I SAY AGAIN; YOU MUST DEMAND TO KNOW, YOU MUST STOP FUMBLING AROUND WITH EVERYTHING ELSE AND START LEARNING THE ARABIC LANGUAGE. TAKE TIMEJ AN HOUR A DAY IN YOUR SPARE TIME. IF YOU ARE ON THE TRAIN GOING TO WORK. AT HOME IN YOUR SPARE TIME INSTEAD OF WATCHING THE SPORTS ON SUNDAYJ SIT DOWN AND READ FOR ONE HOUR. YOU'LL FIND THAT ONCE YOU LEARN CLASSICAL ARABICJ IT'S VERY DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO BE DECEIVED BY ALL THE SHEEP IN WOLVES CLOTHING. YOU WILL KNOW THE TRUTH AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DECIPHER. YOU WON'T HAVE TO READ PICKTHALLJ MAULANA MUHAMMAD ALIJ YUSUF ALlOR ANY OF THESE .TRANSLATIONS; YOU'LL BE ABLE TO TRANSLATE AND SEE THE MEANINGS YOURSELF.

THAT'S THE SOLUTION TO OUR PROBLEM. AS THE KHALIFA TO THE WORLD IN THIS DAY AND TIMEj I TELL YOU THE SOLUTION TO OUR PROBLEM IS FOR ME TO MAKE SORE YOU SP~AK"FLUENT ARABIC. ONCE I CAN DO THIS, ALL YOUR IMAAMS WILL BECOME. OBSOLETE. GO TO YOUR IMAAM FRIDAY AND THE NEXT FRIDAY; IF HE CANNOT SPEAK FLUENT ARABIC, CONVERSE OR TRANSLATE~ THEN YOU DON'T NEED HIM. YOU CAN DO THAT YOURSELF. DON'T BE FOOLED INTO GOING OVERSEAS TO STUDY ARABIC BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO GET TAUGHT SOMEBODY'S DIALECT. YOU DON'T NEED THAT! YOU NEED CLASSICAL ARABIC OF THE QUR'AAN. IF YOU ASK THEM WILL THEY TEACH YOU CLASSICALj THEY WILL SAY: "YES"j THEy'LL TEACH YOU CLASSICALj BUT IT WILL BE EGYPTIAN, SUDANESE OR ARABIAN CLASSICAL, TELL THEM~ "I WANT QUR'AANIC CLASSICAL ARABIC". THEY WILL TEACH IT. BUT THEY WON'T SPEAK IT. IT NEEDS TO BE SPOKEN! THIS BOOK IS BEING MADE WHERE CLASSICAL QUR'AANIC ARABIC IS SPOKEN. READ IT TOGETHERj GET EVERYBODY IN THE FAMILY A COPY AND PLAY GAMES READING PARTS BACK AND FORTH. TRY TO AVOID LOOKING AT THE OTHER SIDE F'OR THE TRANSLITERATIONS IF YOU CAN. UNDERSTAND THE TRANSLATION BY UNDERSTANDING THE WORDS AND BEGIN TO LOOK INTO THEM~ YOU WILL SEE. THE IMPORTANCE OF ALL TH IS I S BECAUSE THE QUR' AAN WAS REVEALED. "I N ARABIC! IT'S IMPORTANT THAT IF THEy'RE NOT INTERESTED~ THAT THEIR CHILDREN ARE. , WE HAVE CLOSED OUR STORES IN THE BUSHWICK SECTION OF BROOKLYN TO TURN THEM INTO SCHOOLS OF LEARNING. WE WILL BE TEACHING FRON THESE LESSONS DAILY, THERE WILL BE NO EXCUSE ANYMORE FOR YOU NOT TO KNOW YOUR LANUAGE, COME AND LEARN, OR AT LEAST BRING YOUR CHILDREN. IF YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED" LET YOUR CHILDREN LEARN SO THEY CAN UNDERSTAND THE QUR'AAN. MAKE SURE THEy'RE NOT SUBJECT TO ALL THE RACISM AND PROBLEMS THAT AMERICAN MUSLIMS . HAVE UNDERGONE, IF YOU BELIEVE THE QUR'AAN IS THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM, THEN BELIEVE THAT PART OF THE SOLUTION IS TO UNDERSTAND THE PROPER LANGUAGE, THE CHILDREN MUST KNOW HOW TO SPEAK" READ AND WRITE ARABIC TO BE ELIMINATED FROM THE PROBLEM OF MISTRANSLATION.' THEY DON'T NEED VERSIONS OR TRANSLATIONS, THEY NEED THE TRUTH, . OUR CHILDREN HERE HAVE LEARNED CLASSICAL ARABIC FROM THE TIME THEY WERE BORN. WE'VE IMPORTED TEACHERS. FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE ARAB WORLD AND WE HAVE GIVEN THEM A DOCTRINE~ AND A CURRICULUM TO TEACH OUR CHILDREN SO THEY WOULD SPEAK CLASSICAL ARABIC OF THE QUR'AAN. YOUR CHILDREN WILL HAVE TO CONTEND WITH OUR CHILDREN IN THE FUTURE, THE WAY THE MEN AND WOMEN OF YOUR COMMUN IT I ES HAVE HAD TO CONTEND WITH ANSAARS OR NUBIAN ISLAAMIC HEBREWS ABOUT DOCTRINE. THEY WON'T STAND AGAINST US. YOUR CHILDREN WILL EITHER WORK WITH US OR THEY .WILL NOT BE STRONG AMONGST US. IT IS IMPORTANT, IF YOU CARE" FOR THE FUTURE OF ISLAAM IN THE WEST THAT YOU SEE THEY GET PROPERLY TAUGHT IN THE LANGUAGE OF CLAS- SICAL ARABIC. . , THIS BOOK IS ONE OF A SERIES DESIGNED TO INCREASE YOUR SKILLS IN THE ARABIC LANGUAGE.

(.S:7: , "THE VOWELS AND HOW THEY WORK" The Fat.hah is the sign written above the letter, this sign gives the letter an "AH" sound as the "A" in the word Car. The Kasrah is the sign that appears below the letter, this vowel gives the "E" sound as in the word Be. The Dam·mah is written above the letter and represents the "U" or "00" sound as in the word Zoo. The Long Fat-hah is found in any position . The Long Kasrah is found in any position, LONG DAM·MAH. The Long Darn-mah is never found at the beginning of a word. ->-a , MAD·DAH (LENGTHEN). A Mad·dah is the sign that only appears over the letter aleef. This sign ~ ~ gives the letter an elongated sound. You will see this line over the aleef which is an "AAA" sound. SOOKOOWN (REST). The Sookoown is the sign used when indicating the absence of a vowel. '0 ~ This Sookoown is represented by the small circle written over the letter. --~ SHAD-DAH. (,,11 The Shad-dah (DOUBLE) is a sign used when denoting the doubling of a letter. The Shad-dah is written like a small "W." The doubling of a letter is not indicated by writing the letter twice, but by placing the Shad-dah over the letter. DOUBLE FAT·HAH (FAT·HATEN). This vowel is written above-the letter and gives an "AN" , ~ sound like in the word Tan. This vowel is usually followed by an aleef atthe end of a word only. DOUBLE KASRAH (KASRAHTENJ. This vowel is written below theletter and gives an "IN" sound as in the word Win. This vowel is found at the endof a word only. DOUBLE DAM-MAH (OAM·MA.HTEN). This vowel gives the "UN" or "00" sound as in the !i ,.a word Soon. _---- HAMZAH. .2:_ WAS-SAL (JOINJ. ~ The Hamz.ah is the vowel that denotes a quick stop in the pronunciation of a letter. Hamzah can be written in a word or with the letters: Aleef. Waw, and Yaa. these are called "Seats of the Hamzah." This is a vowel that is used to connect two words with each other. You will become more familiar with this vowel as you progress in your reading. ':rNote: many of these vowels a,re written two ways. 9A " PROPER PRONUNCIATION IN THE ARABIC LANGUAGE PRONOUNCING WORDS IS VERY IMPORTANT. IF A LETTER IS OVER EMPHASIZED IT COULD CHANGE THE MEANING OF THE WORD, IN PRONOUNCING WORDS ... THE VOWELS AND CERTAIN GRAMMATICAL MARKINGS AS SEEN IN THE PREVIOUS PAGES WILL DETERMINE WHICH LETTERS WILL BE ACCENTUATED THE MOST, THE ARABIC LANGUAGE IS A RHYTHMICAL LANGUAGE WHICH IS INDICATED BY THESE SPECIFIC MARKINGS. THE VOWELS THAT YOU SEE HERE ARE MARKINGS THAT YOU SEE IN THE EVERYDAY WRITTEN AND SPOKEN LANGUAGE, IN MANY INSTANCES THOUGH; THE NEWSPAPERS AND .MAGAZINES OF MOST ARABIC SPEAKING COUNTRIES DO NOT USE THESE MARKINGS (VOWELS) IN THEIR PUBLICATIONS, THE ARABIC OF THE QUR'AAN HOWEVER ...

"NOTICE THE SIMILARITIES" HEBREW MASHKAN (TABERNACLE) . RESIDENCE, HUT, DWELLING PLACE, HABITATION, TENT. SHAKAN (ROOT OF MASHKAN) TO RESIDE PERMANENTLY, STAY,ABIDE, DWELL, HAVE HABITATION, LAY, REMAIN, REST, SET UP. ARABIC MASK AN • DWELLING, ABODE, HABITATION, HOUSE, HOME, RESIDENCE, DOMICILE. SAKIN - (ROOT OF MASKAN) DWELLING, ABODE, HABITATION, INHABITED AREA, HUMAN HABITATIONS. HEBREW IS THE SAME LANGUAGE AS ARABIC ONLY THE PHOENICIANS MIXED WITH ISRAEL AND THEIR TONGUE BECAME HEAVY. SO YOU MUST LEARN ARABIC, AND THE DIALECT HEBREW WILL BKEASY TO YOU. 6 SEE, JUST LOOK AND YOU WILL SEE THEY ARE THE SAME!!! SALAAM WHEN YOU LOOK AT THESE TWO WORDS, YOU ARE LOOKING AT A WORD THAT HAS BEEN TAKEN FROM THE ORIGINAL KUFIC (ARABIC) AND TAKEN FROM THE PHENI· C,IAN (HEBREW) LAN. GUAGE AND STRETCHED TO LOQK LIKE THIS. = KUFIC ARABIC SHalOM ID PEACE = HEBREW YESI THEY ARE THE SAME, DON7 BE FOOLED!II YES, THEY ARE THE SAME DON'T BEFOOLED!! (NOT NOWADAYS) 7 NOW~ SOME OF YOU MAY SAY THAT WE MADE UP THE SCRIPT TO SUIT OUR PURPOSE OF ILLUSTRATION~ HOWEVER; YOU ARE WRONG. ARABIC WAS THE FIRST LANGUAGE SPOKEN ON THE PLANET EARTH~ AND THE LANGUAGE SPOKEN BY THE ANGELS OF ALLAH~ MOST GLORIFIED AND EXALTED. THE HEBREW LANGUAGE IS A LANGUAGE DERIVED FROM THE ORIGINAL ARABIC LANGUAGE, MANY OF THE SOUNDS IN THE HEBREW LANGUAGE ARE MERELY EXAGGERATED SOUNDS AND TONATIONS OF THE ARABIC LANGUAGE. AN EXAMPLE OF THIS IS ON THE PREVIOUS TWO PAGES. WE SAY THAT ARABIC AND'HEBREW ARE THE SAME LANGUAGE WITH MERE EXAGGERATIONS BECAUSE IT'S LIKE TWO PEOPLE SPEAKING THE SAME LANGUAGE BUT BEING FROM TWO DIFFERENT LbCATIONS. LIKE IF SOMEONE LIVES IN NEW YORK AND SPEAKS ENGLI SH AND THEY MEET UP WITH SOMEONE FROM TRI NADAD AND TOBAGO; BOTH THESE PEOPLE SPEAK THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE~ BUT THE ENVIORNMENT IN WHICH THEY LIVE CAUSED THEIR ACCENTS~ TERMINOLOGIES AND EXPRESSIONS TO TAKE A CHANGE. THIS. IS THE SAME CASE WITH THE ARABIC LANUGAGE WHICH THROUGH MIGRATION GAVE BIRTH TO THE HEBREW LANGUAGE. FROM THE TIME OF THE 'TOWER OF BABEL'~ WHICH WAS CONSTRUCTED UNDER THE SUPERVISION NIMROD (GRANDSON OF THE PROPHET NOAH~ PBUH)~ THE ARABIC LANGUAGE TOOK ON DIFFERENT DIALECTS, TORAH (5 BOOKS OF MOSES) GENESIS 11:1-9 · 'r\U' -;. ~. \ ("~. ~\ . -; r-: .... -:.. r -:,~f ... \-:'\ ... 1-:'1-: \ (' ~ .. : .~i~\· "'~. ~. :r' rry:. ,?~..;.I~)r.~~ <\A» ~:"':"'~ '"1'" --!,..>.l ~il)., \ , .... , .,;,.

OF COURSE, AFTER THE CONFUSION OF TONGUES, ALLAH, MOST GLORIFIED AND EXALTED CAUSED DISPERSION WHEREBY EACH MAN ACCORDING TO HIS NEW TONGUE, MIGRATED TO A LAND THAT WOULD BE CONGENIAL ONLY TO THOSE WHO SPOKE THE SAME TONGUE. NO\t~, AS THE PEOPLE ADVANCED, THE PEOpLE OF DIFFERENT TONGUES·DEVELOPED GRAMMAR, PHONETICS AND PICTURE WRITING TO DESCRIBE WHAT THEY WERE SAYING (ARCHEOLOGISTS LABEL IT 'HIEROGLYPHICS', SOME OF THE TONGUES ACQUIRED AT THE TOWER OF BABEL WERE: PHOENICIAN ARAMAIC ACCADIAN CUNEI FORM SYRIAN PERSIAN THE SCRIPT AT THE RIGHT IS A SECTION OF THE LAW CODE OF HAMMURABI IN THE SYLLABIC CUNEIFORM SCRIPT OF BABYLONIA, 9 UI'PIWI.

ARAB Ie 10 ARABEEY NOW YOU SHOULD BE ASKING YOURSELF 'HOW DID THE HEBREW LANGUAGE TAKE ON SUCH CHANGES. FROM THE ORIGINAL ARABIC'? THE HEBREW LANGUAGE DEVELOPED IN STAGES: I, WHEN JOSEPH (PBUH) THE SON OF JACOBJ WAS SOLD INTO EGYPT BY HIS BROTHERS, JOSEPH (PBUH) EVENTUALLY FOUND FAVOR IN THE EYES OF THE PHAROAH FOR HIS ABILITY TO INTERPRET DREAMS, JOSEPH (PBUH) ALSO CALLED HEBREWJ WAS PLACED IN CHARGE OF PHAROAH'S HOUSEHOLD, DUE TO THE . FAMINE IN THE LAN~ OF CANAANJ JOSEPH'S (PBUH) . BROTHERS JOURNEYED INTO EGYPT IN SEARCH OF GRAIN, UPON ENTERING EGYPTJ JOSEPH (PBUH) REQUESTED HIS BROTHERS TO BRING THEIR FATHER ISAAC (PBUH) AND POSSESSIONS INTO THE LAND OF EGYPT -WHERE THEY WERE TO DWELL, INTERMARRIAGE BETWEEN THE CHILDREN OF THE LAND OF PHAROAH AND THE CHILDREN OF JACOB (PBUH) PROVIDED THE FIRST CHANGE IN THE WRITTEN SCRIPT AND CUSTOMS OF THE ISRAELITES, ARABIC STARTED TO CHANGE, 2, THE SECOND CHANGE IN SO-CALLED HEBREW WAS AT THE ADVENT OF THE ISRAELITE'S EXODUS FROM THE LAND OF EGYPT. THE ISRAELITE'S LANGUAGE ACQUIRED HEIROGLYPHICSJ WHICH ADDED NEW FORM TO THEIR SCRIPT, 3, THE THIRD CHANGE OCCURRED WHEN THE ISRAELITES WERE TAKEN CAPTIVE BY NEBUCHADNEZZARJ KING OF BABYLONIAN EMPIRE, GRAMMITICAL FORMS AND WORDS WERE BORROWED FROM THE PERSIANSJ BABYLONIANSJ AND EGYPTIANS, IT WAS UNDER THE BABYLONIAN EMPIRE THAT THE SEED OF ISRAEL WAS DESTROYEDJ MIXING THEIR SEED WITH THE CURSED HOUSE OF CANAANJ THUS DESTROYING THE LANGUAGE~ THEIR ORIGINAL LANGUAGEJ ARABIC, _./ HOW DO WE KNOW FURTHER THAT HEBREW HAS ITS ORIGIN IN THE ARABIC LANGUAGE? BECAUSE WHEN BILAAL· (HWON)· OF ABYSSINIA (ETHIOPIA) SOUGHT THE PROPHET MUSTAFA MUHAMMAD AL AMIN (PBUH)JHE LEFT HIS HOME AND WENT TO ARABIA WHERE HEBREW WAS NOT THEIR LANGUAGEJ YET HE WAS ABLE TO COMMUNICATEWHH THE QURAYSH TRIBE. BILAAL (HWON) SPOKE HEBREW AND WAS EDUCATED I N THE HEBRAI C TEACHINGS FROM THE TORAH (5 BOOKS OF MOSES) WHICH MADE HIM KNOW WHO THE PROPHET MUSTAFA MUHAMMAD AL AMIN (PBUH) WAS. BILAAL (HWON) AIDED THE PROPHET MUSTAFA MUHAMMAD AL AMIN (PBUH) IN MANY WAYJ HE DID NOT JUST CALL THE ADHAN (CALL TO PRAYER), BILAAL(HWON) KNEW MANY OF THE CUSTOMS THAT WERE LOST BY THE PEOPLE OF ARABIA BECAUSE THEY DID NOT KEEP THE LA\,/S OF THE OLD TESTAMENT, . BEFORE THE BIRTH OF THE PROPHET MUSTAFA MUHAMMAD AL AMIN (PBUH) THIS PERIOD WAS CALLED THE 'TIME OF IGNORANCE' J WE KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE BECAUSE OF THE NAMES THAT MEN TOOK AND CALLED THEIR CHILDREN, NICKNAMES WERE ALSO GIVEN TO PEOPLE WHICH SHOWED THE IGNORANCE THAT EXISTED AMONG THE PEOPLE, 11 LOOK CLOSELY AT THE FOLLOWING NAMES: 4 ~ -~ o..! .... , ABOO HOORAYRA ~~- ~.

FATHER OF fLAMES IT WAS DURING THIS TIME THAT THE MEN OF ARABIA WOULD PUBLICALLY RECITE POETRY~ TELL FABLES AND RELATE STORIES OF THE PAST. THIS IS PART OF THE MIRACLE THATALLAH~ MOST GLORIFIED AND EXALTED~ SHOWED TO THE PEOPLE BY WAY OF THE PROPHET MUSTAFA MUHAMMAD AL AMIN (PBUH). THE PROPHET MUSTAFA MUHAMMAD AL AMIN (PBUH) RECITED AL QUR'AAN WHICH WAS SO PERFECTLY CONSTRUCTED GRAMMITICALLY~ RHYTHEMITICALLY UNTOUCHABLE AND CLEAR THAT PEOPLE SAID HE WAS A POET. THE PEOPLE DID NOT TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THAT THE PROPHET MUSTAFA MUHAMMAD AL AMIN (PBUH) WAS UNEDUCATED BEFORE THE REVELATION OF AL QUR'AAN. BEFORE AL QUR'AAN THE ARABIC LANGUAGE WAS VERY RAW1 LOOK AT THE TWO EXAMPLES ON THE NEXT PAGE. IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY1 YOU WILL SEE THAT THE ARABIC SCRIPT WRITTEN BY THE HAND OF THE NEPHEW OF THE PROPHET MUSTAFA MUHAMMAD AL AMIN (PBUH)J ALI (AS) HAS NO VOWELS OR DOTS INDICATING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE LETTERS. THESE DOTS ARE CALLED: .,b';' 9 'f NOOQAT DOTS ••• BEFORE. THE DOTS WERE ADDED TO THE ARABIC SCRIPT THERE WERE 17 ORIGINAL FORMS OF THE ARABIC LETTERS. LOOK AT THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLE TO SEE THE MISTAKES THAT COULD HAVE BEEN·MADE AND ARE MADE BY AMERI CAN MUSLI MS WITH TEACHERS FROM PAKISTAN AND AFGHANISTAN WHO DON'T SPEAK ARABIC CORRECTLY. . ;\-.0::;., JAMADA "TO FREEZEI HARDEN" • • b • ~ '6,l.; '9 " NOOQTATOON A DOT • - , ....... ~ I "t" i ., NOOQTATAANEE 2 DOTS •• 3:'0:> HAMADA "TO SI:!OW GRATITUDE". ._ - ..... . ~ 0.> KHAMADA "TO CALM DOWN" ./ . ~ ~>.J \ AL-JAMDOO LEEL-LAAHEE .

A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION THAT WE HAVE TO ASK IS WHAT IS THE POINT OF ALL THE ~ONFUSION RAISED ABOUT POINTING AND VOWELING OF THE HOLY QUR'AAN??? THE ANSWER lSTHAT SOME SYSTEM HAD TO BE MADE BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE RECITING THE QUR'AAN WRONG~ AND MADE SERIOUS ERRORS IN THEIR DAY TO DAY COMMUNICATION. TAKE FOR EXAMPLE~ THE STORY OF KHALIYFAT AL-MUTAWAKKIL~ OF THE ABBASIDE DYNASTY OF KHULAFA'A WHO RULED FROM BAGDAD AND SAUMARA. HE RULED IN A.H. 232 (487 A.D,), THE KHALfYFAT AL-MUTAWAKKIL IS SAIDIO HAVE SENT AN ORDER TO ONE OF HIS OFFICIALS TO FIND OUT THE NUMBER OF ~ " (ZEEM-MEEY); A CERTAIN MEMBER OF THE JEWISH~ CHRISTIAN OR SABEAN CREED.lWHO (FOR PAYMENT OF A TAX) WERE ALLOWED TO LIVE ON THE MUSLIMS' PROPERTY OR IN AN ISLAMIC COUNTRY. 0_" " ONE OF THE WORDS IN THE ORDER READ ~I (AKHSAA .. WHICH MEANS 'CASTRATE') AND NOT~1 (AHSA" WHICH MEANS I COUNT'), AS A RESULT OF THE ERROR .. ALL OF THE ~ (ZEEM-MEEY) EXCEPT TWO" WERE CASTRATED, THAT ONE NObQTA~ ADDED T01HE LETTER~ MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD. THE PRESENT SYSTEM OF VOWELIZING IS SAID TO HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED "BY KHALIL IBN AHMAD. HE WAS ALSO FAMOU~ FOR THE SCIENCE" OF ARABIC PROSE (WRITING THAT DOES NOT RHYME). WHAT KHALIL IBN AHMAD USED FOR VOWELS WAS MERELY THE SHORTENED FORMS OF THE LETTERS: I (ALEEF) J (WA~t) AND c.S "(YAA) I THESE LETTERS ARE STILL USED IN THEIR WHOLE FORM .. TO BE LENGHTEN THE SOUND OF THE VOWELS. ". " , ALEEF BECAME FATHAT ..." WAW BECAME -'DAMMAT YAA BECAME KASRAT r"""" SOMETHING TO REMEMBER ABOUT THE" LETTER lS (YAA)" IS THAT IT WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN LIKE THIS: <:..... .. WHICH IS THE KUFIC FORM OF THE LETTER. THIS TYPE OF" L5 (YAA) IS ALSO SEEN IN THE MARKINGS OF THE • QUR'AAN" F_9R EXAr~PLE .. ·THIS MARK ~ rs CALLEDJ,.CY14j..UCHAMZATOO-L WASU Ot{"A...lAJi~~(HAMZATOO-S SALAn.

FOR EXAMPLE 13 IS PRONOUNCED THALAATH 'ASHRA RATHER THAN'THALAATHATA 'ASHARA WITH THE "T" SOUND. ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER IS THAT ONE SHOULD I NEVER RECITE THE TASMEEYA: .. 0. ~ 1,. I 0 .~ 1 r _ill, ~..r ~..r WITH THE SUN LETTERS .. AS ILLUSTRATED ABOVE~ ESPECIALLY SITTINGS WHERE THE AUDIENCE CAN NOT READ ALONG. THIS PRACTICE IS UNADVISABLE BECAUSE THE AUDIENCE WOULD HAVE TO INTERPRET WHAT IS BEING HEARD PHONETICALLY; THIS CAN RESULT IN A CURSE ON ALLAH'S NAME. ON THE OTHER HAND .. THE TASMEEYA COULD BE READ WITH THE SUN LETTERS IF ALL OF THOSE PRESENT HAVE A COPY OF THE MATER IAL BEl NGRECITED .. THROUGHOUT THE ISLAAMIC WORLD QUR'AANIC CLASSES ARE HELD WHERE EVERYONE PRESENT IN THE CLASS HAS THEIR OWN COpy OF THE QUR'AAN.

"AND SAY: (MUHAMMAD) SUSTAINER~ I SEEK PROTECTION WITH YOU FROM SLANDERING WHISPERING PHYSICAL DEVILS (SATAN) (97)," ONE OF THE IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF ARTISTIC WRITING IS THE SYMBOLISM of: LETTERS. IT'S VERY WIDESPREAD IN MYSTICAL CIRCLES. IN AL ISLAAM~ IT'S CALLED 4y:3 CDA' AWAA), THERE ARE 28 LETTERS IN THE ARABIC ALPHABET, EACH ONE HAS A NUMERICAL VALUE ACCORDINGI IT IS SAID TO THE ORDER OF THE OLD SEMITIC ALPHABET. ONE OF THE MOST COMMON USAGES OF THE NUMERICAL VALUE OF THE ARABIC LETTERS IS BY COUNTING TO ASCERTAIN DATES. THE RESULT OF SUCH PRACTICES IS THE 'CHROMOGRAM'. WHAT IS A CHROMOGRAM? THE WORD MEANS: CHROMO = 'TIME'I GRAM = 'SOMETHING WRITTEN'. INCREDIBLYJBY USING THIS SCIENCE .. ITS PROPONENTS WERE ABLE TO ASCERTAIN THE DATE OF THE ISLAMIC CALENDAR WHEN THE PROPHET MUSTAFA MUHAMMAD AL AMIN (PBUH) ASCENDED. THE DATE IS 11 A.H. (623 A,D,) WHICH CORRESPONDS WITH _, THE WORD ~ (HOOWAI "HE"). THE VALUE OF ~ (HAH) IS 5 .. AND OF..) (WAW) 6. 11 A.H. _-" = ~ (HOOWA) = Jb (5) + ~ (6), BECAUSE OF THE HIGHLY RELIGIOUS QUALITIES ASSIGNED TO THE ARABIC ALPHABET) CONSTITUTES AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE SYMBOLIC LANGUAGE OF PROSE 20 AND POETRY. THE LETTER (ALEEF), FOR INSTANCE, BESIDES REPRESENTING THE PEN, IS THE SYMBOL OF ALLAH, MOST GLORIFIED AND EXALTED, WHO ALL MUSLIMS WORSHIP AND REVERE AS THE ONE TRUE CREATOR, MANY EASTERN RELIGIOUS SCHOLARS DESIGNATE THIS SUPREME STATE AS THE ABSOLUTE UNITY. ISLAMIC POETS IN REVERE~E TO ALLAH, MOST GLORIFIED AND EXALTED'S SPLENDOUR AS THE EXALTED SCRIBE, CLAIM THAT THEY HAVE LEARNED ONLY THE LETTER nALEEFu WHICH TO THEM IS BETTER THAN THE WHOLE ALPHABET. WHY DO THEY HAVE THIS ATTITUDE? BECAUSE THEY REALIZE THAT IT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND ALLAH, MOST GLORIFIED AND EXALTED'S ALONENESS THAN TO KNOW AND COMPREHEND ALL THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE VISIBLE THINGS IN THE WORLD. THAT IS WHY, IF HE ACHIEVES NOTHING ELSE IN HIS WHOLE LIFETIME, A MUSLIM MUST ACHIEVE UNDERSTANING OF ALLAH, MOST GLORIFIED AND EXALTEO'S ALONENESS. THEREFORE, ONE MAY UNOERSiANO WHY SECOND ONLY TO SOOWRATOO'L FAATEEHAH (DEGREE OF THE OPENING), SOOWRATOO'L IKHLAAS (DEGREE OF THE IKHLAAS) IS THE MOST STUDIED AND RECITED CHAPTER OF THE QUR'AAN.
