There are both myths and mysteries around the great signs what the prophet saw and advent of God’s messenger of the covenant have become the basis of religious beliefs in Islam, even though we all as Muslims should believe and practice according to what is in the Quran to be the only source of our beliefs and practices. Thus, these two events are discussed in light of the Quran to know the truth that we may avoid the myths and mysteries around us reflecting and accepting the truth found in the Quran.
In the early 7th century God has sent down the Quran, a messenger of God and the final edition of His scripture (33:40). The prophet was taken to the farthest place to inspire the Quran all at once into his soul (17:1, 53:10), when he also saw the great signs of God, and He has made a covenant in it with the prophets that He will send a messenger upon delivering all the scripture (3:81 and 33:7), which has been fulfilled in 1974 through the unveiling of the Quran’s mathematical coding, and the message along with sign given to a messenger is found in (74:30-37), while the Quran’s mathematical coding is a reminder to bring people back to the Quran and to the perfect practices of Islam having appropriate beliefs based on the verifiable facts derived from the Quran being it a blessing from God for a community of the people living in the highest high of the human civilization and scientific advancement.
[33:40] Muhammad has not been a father of anyone of your men, but has been a messenger of God and a seal of the prophets. And God has done as Knower of everything
[53:10] Then He had inspired into His servant what He revealed.
[74:30] Over it is nineteen (19).
[74:31] And we have not made guardians of the Fire except angels, and we have not made their number except a warning for those who disbelieved, that it may ascertain those who have been given the scripture (Jews and Christians) and may increase faith of those who have believed (Muslims), and may not doubt those who have been given the scripture (Jews and Christians) and the believers (Muslims). And that may say those in their hearts there is a disease (hypocrites) and the disbelievers, “What has God meant by this allegory?” Thus, God misguides whomever He wills and He guides whomever He wills. And none knows your Lord’s soldiers except He. And it is not except a reminder for the human race.
[74:32] Nay, (I swear) by the moon.
[74:33] And the night when it departs.
[74:34] And the morning when it brightens.
[74:35] Indeed it, is surely one of the great (reminders).
[74:36] A warning to the human race.
[74:37] For whoever has willed among you that he may advance, or he may stay behind.
Note: The message of the messenger is precisely defined along with the sign to support the messenger, while the message is the Quran’s mathematical coding which is a great reminder and a warning for the human race being confirmed followed by an oath of God, and the sign is the number 19, which is also a common denominator of a figure obtained through analysis and reasoning to establish facts from the Quran.
Prophet saw the great signs of God
The prophet had been taken to the farthest place, was the ultimate point near a Garden of the Refuge. In addition to inspiration of the Quran all at once into his soul by God Himself, he also saw the great signs of God, which are misinterpreted that the prophet had been authorized to say about the future events, even the Quran has clearly informed us that he did know not the future. What the prophet had seen in the ultimate point has reflected in the following verses of the Quran, which were the tree of test for mankind, a Garden of the Refuge wherein we all used to live before sending down to the earth and God was in another descent from the Horizon of the High:
[17:1] Glory to One who had taken of His servant (Muhammad) by night from the Sacred Masjid (of Mecca) to the farthest sacred place, which we had blessed surrounding of it that we may show him of our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearer, the Seer.
[17:60] And when we said to you (prophet): “Indeed, your Lord has encompassed of the people.” And we have not made the vision, which we have showed you (prophet) except was a test for the people, and the tree of the accursed in the Quran. And we threaten them, while it does not increase except a great transgression.
[53:11] The mind has not erred what it has seen.
[53:12] Would you then be differed from him on what he sees?
[53:13] And that certainly, he has seen him in another descent (of God).
[53:14] Near a Lote Tree at the ultimate point.
[53:15] Near of it is Garden of the Refuge.
[53:16] When it covers the Lote Tree what it should cover.
[53:17] The vision has not deviated, nor has it gone wrong.
[53:18] That certainly, he had seen the great of signs of his Lord.
The event has been precisely described in 10 verses of 2 surahs in the Quran, and if the relevant verse and surah numbers are added, the total is a multiple of 19 => 247 (19X13) as shown in the table below:
Note: This is an explicit proof for the true believers not to believe in any myths and mysteries about what the prophet saw when he had been in the ultimate point.
Advent of God’s messenger of the covenant
God has promised to send a messenger in the Quran after delivery of all scripture as mentioned in (3:81 and 33:7), which has been misinterpreted claiming that the prophet said Mahdi will come along with Dajjal representing evil followed by the second coming of Jesus, while Mahdi as a reformer will assist Jesus in defeating the Dajjal being it the end time event having differences about the timing and nature of his advent and guidance among those who expect his coming. Some people have already claimed them Mahdi and have made sect in Islam or a new religion, and some are still claiming them Mahdi, but most Muslims are waiting for his coming. However, if we can reflect and interpret the messages in the following two verses, we may know the truth about this event.
[3:81] And when God had taken a covenant of the prophets that whatever I have given you (prophets) from a scripture and wisdom, then there has come to you a messenger confirming that which is with yourselves, that you must believe in him and that you must support him. He said: “Have you affirmed and taken My covenant on that?” They said: “We have affirmed.” He said: “So, you shall bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses.”
Note: Here is a clear indication that every prophet has been given scripture from a Mother Scripture with God (43:4) as well as is a confirmation of a major covenant of God with the prophets to send a messenger upon delivery of all scripture given to them, which makes explicit that this covenant has been placed in every scripture and is inherited from one generation to the next.
[33:7] And when we had taken from the prophets their covenant, and from you (Muhammad), and from Noah, and Abraham, and Moses, and Jesus, son of Mary. And we had taken from them a solemn covenant.
Note: Here is a clear indication that the covenant has been placed in the Quran given to Muhammad including the references of placing the covenant in the scripture given to Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus.
The messages in the above verses clearly indicates that the advent of a messenger has been placed in every scripture, has inherited from one generation to the next, and the connection between two verses is found if we reflect to the fact that the total of the verse numbers between 3:81 and 33:7 and the number of surahs, which are 119 176 120 165 206 75 127 109 123 111 43 52 99 128 111 110 98 135 112 78 118 64 77 227 93 88 69 60 34 30 6 29 is a multiple of 19 => 3163 + 29 = 3192 (19X168).
The fulfillment of the covenant in 1974 through the unveiling of the Quran’s mathematical coding by a messenger of the covenant has reflected in the following verses of the Quran:
[74:30] Over it is nineteen (19)
Note: 19 is a prophetic sign and a hint for the name of the message given to the messenger.
[27:82] And when the punishment has come upon them, we have brought forth for them a creature from the earth to speak to them that the people have been with our revelations do not ascertain.
Note: The prophecy in the Quran to bring forth a creature from the earth for authenticity of the Quran to bring people back to the Quran when the majority people are away from God’s revelations.
[15:9] Indeed, we have sent down the reminder, and indeed, we will surely be protectors of it.
Note: The divine promise to protect the Quran from any distortions is directly connected to the unveiling of the Quran’s code, which also serves as an evidence to avoid the myth around the traditional Muslim arena that the invisible force will come down to protect it when any extraneous materials are attempted to inject into it.
[44:13] How was for them the reminder (Quran’s mathematical coding), and certainly, there had come to them a clarifying messenger (God’s messenger of covenant)?
Note: The world-wide disaster is seen upon delivery of the reminder, the Quran’s mathematical coding when the messenger had not been among the people being killed in 1990, while the reminder is delivered in 1974.
The fulfillment of the advent of a messenger of the covenant event has been precisely described in 6 verses of 6 surahs in the Quran, and if the relevant verse and surah numbers are added, the total is a multiple of 19 => 418 (19X22) as shown in the table below:
Note: This is an explicit proof with the circumstantial evidences for the true believers to believe that the messenger of the covenant as promised in the Quran has delivered the reminder disregarding any myths and mysteries around the advent of a messenger of the covenant.
Conclusion
We are surrounded by myths and mysteries about the great signs what prophet saw when he was taken to the ultimate point and the advent of a God’s messenger of the covenant upon the delivery of all scripture. God has precisely described both the events in the Quran that we should have clear understanding, even He has blessed us to have explicit proofs to know the truth so that we can disregard the myths and mysteries that surround us. If we realize that Islam is founded on clear guidance of God and there is no room in it to depend on myths and mysteries except to corrupt it, we should not have any doubt in our hearts to accept the truth from His words that we may protect us from any pain and suffering in the Hereafter.
Peaceful Friday, salaam and God bless.
