[quote][font=Verdana][size=2]19. It is interesting to note that while Khalifa keeps telling the reader that the Quran is “complete, perfect and fully detailed” (pp.664-665), he saw it fit to include no less than forty appendices to explain the Quran!  Obvious he did not really believe his own assertions if he needed forty appendices to “complete, perfect and detail” his translation.

5.  God appoints Satan as a “god” on earth (p.xvi).  This statement is given with two Quranic references – 2:30 and 36:60.  It is interesting that the first reference (2:30) in Surah Baqarah states, “Recall that your Lord said to the angels, “I am placing a representative (a temporary god) on Earth” (p.6).  For a religion that purports to be devoted to God ALONE, they have unwittingly created another god, Satan, be it only on the “spaceship” Earth and only on a temporary basis.  No monotheistic religion in history has ever described or referred to Satan as god – only the Satanists.  How then can such a religion be of the truth when it has created another god besides God!

11. In one breath they claim that “Hadith and Sunnah are satanic innovations”, (p.664) “ridiculous and nonsensical sources” (p.690) and “blasphemy” (p.708) while in another they state that “While Hadith is forbidden as a source of religious teachings, it can be a useful source of history” (p.692).   So this means that satanic innovations are a useful source of history!  You cannot have it both ways, if it is satanic then how can it be a useful source of history when the Quran clearly calls Satan a deceiver[3].  Yet on pages 658, 662, 670, and 692, Khalifa mentions a total of six ahadith and they are presented as authentic sources of information in order to prove his point of view.  So what is it – satanic innovations and blasphemy or a useful source of history?[/size=2]

[blue]13.[size=2] Appendix 19 states that “Some Muslim compromise: “If a hadith agrees with the Quran we will accept it, and if it contradicts the Quran, we will reject it!”  Such premise proves that these people do not believe God’s assertions that the Quran is “complete, perfect and fully detailed.”  The moment they seek guidance from anything besides the Quran, no matter how “right” it seems, they fall into Satan’s trap.  For they have rejected God’s word and set up another god beside God” (p.665).  The question is, by Khalifa using six ahadith that agreed with his view point of history did he fall into Satan’s trap?  And if so, does that mean that he has set up another god beside God?  Also does this mean that the Quran is not “complete, perfect and full detailed” if Khalifa had to rely on hadith himself?

18. Khalifa wants people to believe his selective view of history and also refuses to acknowledge the familiar history and methodology of how the Quran as well as the hadith were collected, compiled and then classified.  What history do the submitters subscribe to in regard to the compilation of the Quran?  The people who were involved in that compilation were also involved in the compilation of hadith.  The two cannot be divorced and that is why perhaps Khalifa does not give any detail explanations of how hadith were all from Satan or their history[/size=2].[/blue]

14. The Quran states “Absolutely, we have revealed the reminder, and, absolutely, we will preserve it” (Surah al-Hijr 15:9).  For 1400 years this verse according to the submitters was a lie!  As the Quran had two extra verses added to it and yet the Quran said God would preserve it!

15. In Appendix 2 under the heading “Principal Duties of God’s Messenger of the Covenant” they list fourteen duties, the last being to “Establish a criminal justice system” (p.647).  From the time Khalifa was born in 1935 until his death in 1990 he did not at anytime establish a criminal justice system.  Also no country in the world so far has adopted his “criminal justice system”.  Does this mean that God’s messenger of the covenant failed in one of his principal duties?  Does that mean that another messenger will come in order to establish this “criminal justice system”?

17. Ironically Khalifa says “A criterion of the true submitters is that they will find nothing objectionable in the Quran” (p.xv).  Yet he took two whole verses out of the Quran and interpreted it so radically that he founded another religion far from Islam.[/size=2] [/font=Verdana]
