Essentials of SubmissionIslam as submission to God alone, taught by every messenger from Adam on, with its practices delivered through Abraham and its complete scripture, the Quran, through Muhammad. Dr. Khalifa explains the five pillars, from a shahada that names God alone to the contact prayers, fasting, zakat to relatives first, and Hajj without visiting Medina. He closes with the Quran's dietary prohibitions, intoxicants, gambling, and major sins.Dr. Rashad Khalifa (Speaker)King of ChaosSatan, the King of Chaos, is temporarily made a god over the tiny planet Earth, which explains why a merciful God permits famine, war, disease, and the suffering of children. The second program in a series sets God's greatness against seven vast universes and tells how Satan was exposed through Adam. It covers four kinds of disasters, repentance, and idol worship as the only unforgivable sin.Dr. Rashad Khalifa (Speaker)Mathematical Miracle of QuranDr. Khalifa explains how translating the Quran for his children led him to a computer study of the Quranic initials and the discovery of 19 as their common denominator. He walks through counts of verses, surahs, words, and initial letters, including the Basmala and its placement in surahs 9 and 27, and answers why 19: its numerical value equals the Arabic word for one, God alone.Dr. Rashad Khalifa (Speaker)Principles of Contact PrayerThe contact prayer, Salat, is presented as a Quranic commandment originating with Abraham, with its five times located in specific verses and its purpose explained as nourishment for the soul. Dr. Khalifa covers the original call to prayer, the four steps of ablution, and demonstrations of each daily prayer, warning against mentioning any name but God. He also addresses menstruation, missed prayers, joining a group late, and the Friday sermon.Dr. Rashad Khalifa (Speaker)The Computer SpeaksRecorded in 1986 and 1987, Dr. Khalifa announces a mathematically coded message decoded by computer and calls for unity through devotion to God alone, above human factors like Jesus, Muhammad, and Mary. He predicts a new era of God's kingdom, sets out three requirements for membership, and invites Billy Graham, the Pope, Rabbi Kushner, and Muslim leaders to examine the evidence.Dr. Rashad Khalifa (Speaker)The Great DebateDr. Khalifa answers a Muslim interviewer's challenges about his claim to be a messenger of God, the mathematical code of 19 in the Quran, and the removal of the last two verses of Sura 9. The debate also covers the Quran alone versus hadith and sunnah, the correct shahada, intercession, God's preservation of the Quran, and the verse about blessing the Prophet.Dr. Rashad Khalifa (Speaker)Theory of Evolution vs CreationDarwin's theory of evolution is tested against the laws of probability, from the human genetic code to the eye and the simple cell, and found unable to explain the origin of life. The mathematical code of 19 in the Quran is presented as proof of a super intelligent Creator who guides evolution, correcting popular creationist ideas, followed by a 1987 studio debate with anthropologist Jeff Clark.Dr. Rashad Khalifa (Speaker)What Is Life About, Who Is GodNot knowing who we are, as souls rather than bodies, is called the biggest problem in the world, and the daily contact prayer five times a day is the food that nourishes the soul and brings real happiness. A sermon then measures the solar system, the galaxies and the seven universes to show the greatness of God and the blasphemy of idolizing Muhammad, Jesus or Mary.Dr. Rashad Khalifa (Speaker)Witness A MiracleThe mathematical code of 19 in God's message, presented as physical evidence that God exists and offered in response to Carl Sagan's novel Contact. Dr. Khalifa traces one message from Adam to Muhammad, shows the Quran's initial letters occurring in multiples of 19, cites Rabbi Judah the Pious on 19 in older scripture, and explains 19 as the value of one. He closes with God holding the seven universes.Dr. Rashad Khalifa (Speaker)
