He shook the foundation of corrupted religious establishment, April 3, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Quran: Visual Presentation of the Miracle (Paperback)
Dr. Khalifa's study of the Quran with the computer, the first of its kind , resulted in the discovery of one of the greatest miracles of the Quran. This miracle had to do with number 19, mentioned in sura 74(the dicovery was made in 1974 which coincides 1406=19*74 years after the revelation of Quran) Dr. Khalifa called on the Muslims to follow the Quran alone and to disregard all the fabrications and lies that filled the Hadith and Sunna books. The Muslim scholars, shocked by his stand after they supported his Mathematical discoveries in the Quran, considered him a great risk for their traditional teachings. That risk was specially greater after he received a world wide recognition and support for his discoveries of the Mathematical Miracle of the Quran. When Dr. Khalifa's view about following Quran alone (and not the fabrications in Hadith and traditions) was published, a campaign of intimidation, insults, fabrications, and accusations of misconduct against him started. Many of the Muslim Scholars who cheered him for the Mathematical Miracle of the Quran tried to play down its significance even at the expense of the truth. In their refusal to listen to the word of God in the Quran, many of the Muslim scholars and their followers increased the campaign of attacks on Dr. Khalifa and on his message. The message that calls on the believers to go back to the Quran and to reject the fabrications and lies that filled the Hadiths and Sunna books. They failed to tackle the issues or defend their wrongdoings that contradict the Quranic commandments. After they failed in assailing his character and in diverting the people away from his call to go back to the Quran, they assassinated him in January, 1990.

This review is from: Quran: Visual Presentation of the Miracle (Paperback)
Thanks to Amazon.com & thanks to Dr. Rashad Khalifa. When it is claimed that a book is God's words, there should be a prove supports this claim. This book is one of many other proves that the Quran is the Holly God (Allah) words. This prove done by the computer "the miracle of the 20th century" to show the very amazing accuracy and perfects of the Holly Quran, which never can be found in any other book in the world. Taking into account that the Quran revealed to the holly Prophet Mohammed (Peace upon him & upon all God messengers) 14 centuries ago in a very ignorance era. God (Allah) says in the Holly Quran:- 1- "A book which we (God) have revealed to you (P. Mohammed) so that you may lead the people from out of the darkness into the light by their Lord's leave to the path of the All-Mighty, the Praiseworthy." 2- "Verily We (God) revealed the Quran and We (God) are protecting it (from any change or/& corruption)." 3- " Do they not cosider the Quran (with care), if it had been from other than the God they would have therein much discrepancy." 4- And whoso desires a religion other than the submission to the God (Islam), never it will be accepted from him, and in the hereafter he shall be one of the losers." 5- "We shall show them our signs (portents) in the universe and within themselves untill it will be manifest unto them that it is the TRUTH. Doth not thy Lord suffice, since He is Witness over all things?" 6- "And say: Praise be to the God, He will show you His signs (portents) so that you shall know them." Yes our great all-knowing Lord, the Lord of all worlds, we declare that we saw your signs in the univrse & in ourselves. Truly are the God words. True if it is from else than the God we will never see this accuracies and perfects. " No deity except the God (Allah) & Mohammed is his last messenger (to all mankind)."

Tangled web, December 27, 2006
This review is from: Quran: Visual Presentation of the Miracle (Paperback)
I enjoyed the author's work so long as he focused on the irrefutable fact that haddith is forbidden by the Qur'an, and is completely un-Islamic. (Not to mention downright weird.)
The 19 issue is intellectually interesting, but his need to convince people of the veracity of the Qur'an seems not much different than the haddithian's insistence that they need to explain, add to, refute, and improve upon what Allah had to say.
If we never solve the mystery of the Qur'anic reference to the number 19, it should be no loss to those who seek spiritual guidance. After all, religion is based on the miracle of faith. It seems likely that those seeking proof are actually seeking some form of superiority rather than spirituality -- a quest that so often leads to self-aaggrandizement, to which the author seems to have fallen victim in the final analysis.
