Dr. Khalifa began translating the Quran vowing not to move past any verse until he understood it, and translating A.L.M. took four years, coinciding with the unveiling of the mathematical miracle.1, 2, 3
The Quran is easy for sincere believers, but by divine law no one has access to it or its miracle without being a sincere believer given divine authorization, so its unveiling through Rashad Khalifa signals his messengership.1, 2
A human can meet a simple numerical pattern only at the expense of literary quality, while the Quran controls literary style and intricate letter distribution together, which shows in how easy it is to memorize, understand, and enjoy.1, 2
Sincere believers have access to the Quran regardless of their mother tongue, while disbelievers are denied access even if they are professors of Arabic.1
The word Mathal in these verses could be removed and the sentences would still be perfect, so it is there to show that the descriptions of Heaven and Hell are allegorical.1
Because of the invisible forces serving it, the Quran is readily and enjoyably accessible to sincere believers and utterly inaccessible to unbelievers.1
Believers who do not know Arabic know the Quran better than unbelievers who speak Arabic.1
Insincere readers who read the Quran to find fault with it are diverted from it, and God's invisible forces even help them find the faults they seek.1
The Quran can be read hundreds of times without boredom, and readers derive new and valuable information from it every time, unlike a novel.1
The Arabic word Ummy means Gentile, one who does not follow any scripture, and it does not mean illiterate.1
Because Hadithists refuse to believe the Quran is complete, God has forbidden them from understanding the Quran.1, 2
The Quranic word awraat means puberty or being vulnerable to attack and has nothing to do with women, who are called nisa in the Quran.1, 2, 3
The restrictions forcing women to cover everything and stay home come from misunderstanding verse 33:53, which tells men to speak to the prophet's wives from behind a barrier.1
The word hijab in the Quran has nothing to do with Muslim dress; it means a combination of physical and spiritual barriers.1
Since we can now read, we should not depend on others to interpret scripture for us but must read the Quran ourselves and understand it.1, 2
Most converts to Islam are wrongly discouraged from reading the Quran on their own or asking legitimate questions.1
Looking at only part of the Quran instead of taking it as a whole leads to error, like the blind men who were each partly right but all wrong.1
God can guide a sincere person with or without a good translation, but places an invisible barrier around the insincere so they cannot understand the Quran even if masters of Arabic.1, 2
God is the teacher of the Quran, and no one grasps its true meaning without sincerity, whatever their Arabic skill or translation.1, 2
The Quran must be translated into people's languages so they can understand God's message, since those who do not know Arabic could not believe in it otherwise.1
The Quran must be translated so people can understand it, and the language it is read in does not matter.1, 2, 3, 4
It is our duty to verify information for ourselves by really studying the Quran to find the source of what we have been taught.1, 2
Submitters will reach differing understandings as they study, so they must kill their egos and treat each other with respect, trusting God to guide the worthy.1
We should not ignore the explanations that came through the Messenger of the Covenant but use them to study and understand the Quran better.1, 2
People who kill in the name of Islam misuse Quranic verses out of ignorance of the whole Quran, following clerics who argue petty topics instead of grasping its essence.1
The Quran's true purpose is not to be recited as a remedy for the sick or for the salvation of the dead, but to be applied in everyday life.1
God made the Quran easy to understand, so the scholars' claim that it is difficult demonstrates their divinely induced ignorance of it.1
Language is no barrier to the Quran; God puts it in the hearts of sincere believers regardless of their language, and sincerity of belief is the criterion for access.1
Only sincere believers and seekers are given access to the Quran, while God forbids insincere and unworthy readers any access to it.1
Although the Quran was revealed in Arabic, God Himself promised to be its teacher and the One who explains it.1, 2, 3
Language is irrelevant to understanding the Quran, since only the sincere grasp it, while those who are insincere or do not worship God alone fail to understand it even if they know Arabic.1, 2
Reading the Quran by itself does not guarantee understanding it, because God is in control and no one understands it unless God lets him or her.1
Satan is a great deceiver whose best game for keeping people from understanding God's message is to keep them away from it.1
Satan's best trick is getting people to believe him instead of God, and once they do they are prevented from understanding the Quran, because God accepts no partners.1, 2
The blessings of the Quran come from understanding it and accepting its message, not from merely reciting it, which is like a donkey carrying valuable books.1, 2, 3
It is important to read the Quran for ourselves and not let scholars and others interpret it for us.1
The Quran is clear, and all people are commanded to study and understand it themselves rather than recite it like parrots or rely on imams.1, 2, 3
We should study the Quran ourselves and use it to verify the religion or sect inherited from our parents, the most important duty of our lives.1, 2
The test of life is open book, since God gives all the answers in the Quran and urges us to study it.1, 2
Those who were given scripture and failed to uphold it are like a donkey carrying great books.1, 2
Reading the Quran in Arabic without understanding its meaning is of no good, like a parrot or a donkey carrying valuable books.1, 2
Verse 2:9 means the hypocrites do not deceive God and the believers; they only deceive themselves without being aware, because they sincerely believe they are true believers.1, 2, 3
When understandings of a verse differ, neither person should judge or dispute the other unless the understanding is obviously against God's laws, and even then argue in the best manner.1, 2, 3, 4
Believers must read the Quran and reflect on every one of its verses.1, 2
