Conclusion and a Little
Background reading
By Ijaz Chaudry
Conclusion:
It seems like SBO are
extremely confused. SBO is making an immense effort to follow in the foot steps
of The Messenger of the Covenant Dr Rashad Khalifa, that they have lost sight of
the truth. There is a lot could be said in the conclusion, but because of
limited space and scope, I would like to raise one point and that is to do with
the Quran Translation done by Dr Rashad Khalifa which is obscuring the truth for
his followers.
Dr Rashad Khalifa
translated three different Arabic words with three different meanings into one
English word "righteous". The three Arabic words are “al-mutaqeen”, “salaheen”
and “al-khaer”.
"al-mutaqeen" means righteous, "salaheen" means good and "al-khaer" means living
a good life.
More or less all
believers associate "righteous" to do with those who perform all the rites of
Islam. Thus, this translation by Dr Rashad Khalifa on the very onset puts onus
on believer to perform all rites of Islam.
However, when we
translate these three Arabic words into their three different meaning English
words in the Quran translation, a pattern appears. The pattern is that the
Arabic word "al-mutaqeen" or righteous only appear where "Practicing Muslims"
are addressed, while the other two Arabic words appear where "Non-practicing
Muslims" are addressed.
The phrase "Practicing
Muslims" is to do with those Muslims who perform all rites of Islam, while the
phrase "Non-practicing Muslims" is to do with those Muslims who do not perform
all rites of Islam but follow (Quran 5:69), and believe. Both will make it to
Heaven, and indeed that is why there is lower and upper Heaven.
This pattern with the
correct translation of the Arabic words has already been done, in my translation
of the Quran. And within this translation these three words are highlighted
showing their correlation to practicing and non-practicing Muslim's as described
by the verses of the Quran.
It is crucial for all
those who want to worship God alone, to adhere to the word of God as much as
they can. God's word is much superior then human word. The interpretations of
the Quran are only most feasible when initially God's words are translated
correctly.
This lack of grasp of
the fundamentals of Islam because of this translation of the Quran is indeed
downfall of the followers of Dr Rashad Khalifa. They cannot distinguish between
those who follow Noah from those who follow Abraham. They somehow mix the two
together, based on the translation of those three words into one. If Adam and
Noah were able to make it to Heaven, by just believing in God, then why not all
those who believe in God also make it to Heaven today. Indeed God encourages
justice and fair play. Why then there would be one rule for Adam and another for
those who came after him and believed (Quran 5:69).
This confusion will only
part if they look at the actual Arabic words and there translation.
