The Barrier's between the common People the Quran

Post by Arnold Yasin Mol »

How did the barrier between the Quranic Message and the common People form? Under what circumstances was it created and how?

The Quran is revealed in Arabic. Why is this so important? Well, it was a language spoken by everybody, from the most poor to the most rich. Before the Quran's Revelation, all people who had a Scripture, be it Christians, Jews or Zoroasterians; all had a class of priests. The languages of those Scriptures were not spoken by the normal people, so the priests had total control on how to rule the Religion. In this way, the difference in classes was sustained, and equality ruled. Even up to the 16th century, was the Bible only to be found in Latin or Greek, which was only spoken by the Christian priesthood. The Christians did not have access to the Bible, and were thus completely controlled by the Church. When the Christians reformed, the Bible was translated into the common people's languages, and the Roman-Catholic Church was rejected as an authority as they were not needed anymore. Everybody could read the Bible to see what to believe and do.

When the Quran was revealed, the elite also had their own language. It was an old Arabian dialect, Nabeatan Arabic. By using this language to communicate which each other, the normal people could never interfere. There was a Language Barrier, that blocked people from having access to matters of politics or religion.

Then suddenly the Quran was revealed, and not in the elite language, not in Nabeatan Arabic. No it is revealed in:

69:40 Behold, this is indeed the revealed Word in the dialect of a noble
Messenger.


It is revelead in the common's people language. Everybody could understand it, nobody needed a a priest or a rich elite to translate it forr them, they had direct access to Allah's Word. The elite could not choose and decide for themselves what to say to people, they could not make up their own laws, because everybody could read the Quran themselves.

When everybody understood the Quran during its revelation, suddenly all people were equal, not only by body, but also by knowledge and to know what to do in society. Allah told them directly what to do, not the elite. Because of this, the people took the power and conquered half of the then known world. Normal common people with no understandings of politics created the best Political System on earth in less then 20 years.

So the elite was not needed, no priesthood, nothing. But the priesthood and elite, the Pharoahs and Haman's of the 6th century wanted to take back their control. They took up the disguise as 'uluma', people with knowledge, and they counteracted the Quran, by making up their own revelations in Muhammed's name. 200 years after the Prophet, 80% of all the Muslims were non-Arab and didn't knew the language. So again a barrier was formed between the Revelation and the common people.

But the Islamic State grew. New people were taken into Islam. To counteract this movement, many Christian priests, Jewish Rabbis and Zorasterian fire-priests became Muslim in disguise and wrote their own revelations in Muhammad's name to confuse the people. If you couldn't stop them having access to the Revelation, then you can flood them with your own made up revelations in the same language. Make it so that it doesn't replace the Original Revelation, as this is not possible, but make it so that it interferes with understanding the Original Revelation.

This time it was not a language barrier, but an Interpretation Barrier. Slowly the connection with the true purpose of the Quran was taken away. The elite took their power again and tried to connect it with the Quran. Before 200AH, the term 'Khalifah' was not used by the Islamic State rulers. They were called Imams or Amir. The elite and priesthood worked together, and they made up a new name, were the elite leaders would be called 'Khalifah' and the priests would be called 'Imams' and 'Uluma'.

In this way they could claim the titles that are used in the Quran for all the people. The whole of mankind is called a khalifah. Everybody with an outstanding charachter could be called Imam, a plumbline which can be taken as an example by everybody. Uluma was just a name for people who studied Reality, nature, history, psychology. Everything. Now suddenly it had more to do with religious study then with all fields of knowledge.

Through the concocted Hadith and the writings of the 'Uluma' and 'Imams', also meanings of the Quran were distorted or the main meanings were pushed away and replaced by lesser meanings of words.

Salat means 'to follow closely', 'attachment', 'prayer'. Suddenly it only meant 'prayer' instead of following the Divine Laws. 'Prayer' was only used 2-3 times in the Quran when using 'salat'. Now suddenly ALL 'salat' meant prayer. In this way people were disconnected from following the Divine Laws, and slowly the focus became a personal religious duty, instead of a collective striving to create the best society.

Christians disliked the idea that marriage was seen as good, that sex was seen a healthy, that the Quran rejected the supernatural or miracles. So understandings were distorted by them, Jesus was suddenly coming back and so on.

Jewish Rabbis and Persian priests did everything to make a gap between the elite and the normal people. And they had succeeded. People as 'Imam' Shafi opened the door for 'Hidden Revelation', so the priesthood could make up what they wanted.

We can see the unslaught today, where only the 'uluma' are allowed to discuss the Quran. Free thinking and research is rejected and made a sin.
The language barrier is fully running again, sustaining a barrier between the people and the Quran so they can't control themselves. Even people who can read and speak Arabic can't reach the Quran, as all meanings of words are taught to them by the priesthood writings.

In the real Islam, a real Uluma can only prove himself to you by showing his approach is more logical and better. He cannot claim the better position, he should prove it. But today's priesthood follow blindly their predecessors, and don't see that the writings they use, were made by the enemies of the Islamic System.

A lot of Uluma have a good heart and really want what is best for Islam, but they can't see they are still in control by dead enemies. They are dead for 1000 years, but still they have their firm grip on today's Uluma, who thus cannot help Islam. It is commonly accepted that only the Uluma can understand Islam, because all of those lies they follow are confusing. And if the normal people would study them deeply, they would reject them immediately.

This is how the gap between the original Message of the Quran was created, and so now you know what to do to restore it.....

The Barrier's between the common People the Quran

Dear Arnold,
With a fifty-one percent illiteracy rate of women, and approximately 30 percent of the men on the Arabian Peninsula there must surely be many in the Ummah who only know what has been passed on to them by oral tradition. But education is a form of empowerment and allows for each individual to actualize their full potential if they also possess the determination to do so. Women's studies have shown that for some of the poorer agrarian cultures, allowing a girl to continue school past the fifth grade, to attend even a couple more years, brings great future benefit to her family. She is able to grasp concepts of crop yields, marketability of certain products, micro laws of supply and demand, etc.

There is a distinct need to bring literacy programs into play, not just to capture the next generation, but to also offer opportunity to open up a whole new world of thought to an illiterate adult population. To learn to read, is the first step. smile

Dear Tammy,

Even if the person could read or write, still the person would be blocked by the language barriere that was created 300 years after the Prophet. This is what the topic is about. Although your comment is indeed true and very important, as this is one of the reasons of many poverty in the world, not only in the Islamic world, as there is a large percentage of illiteracy in America too.

It is 20%, which means there are of the 300 million people in America, 60 million cannot read or write! Indeed many work must be done!

Your reply has nothing to do with this post. Many Muslims can read or write, but they are still stuck behind the Language and Interpretation barriere that was constructed around 300AH.

Dear Tammy,

Your post again has nothing to do with my first post or with Islamic History. So it is deleted.

We can start a discussion on the world's illiteracy in the World History Category, but this will include America as well.
