On the last two verses of sura 9

it has been violated. Only because Iblees (Satan) refused to bow down before Adam that we know that such a law exists. Had Satan obeyed God, and bowed down with the rest of the angels, we would have never known whether the angels possess the freedom of choice or not.

(PLEASE NOTE)

Arabic: Azhar approved title of sura 9

This Azhar-approved title indicates that Sura 9 was the last sura revealed in Medina, except for the last two verses; they

were supposedly revealed in Mecca. In retrospect, this is impossible. For it means that the last two verses were revealed at least 10 years before the rest of the sura.

A study of the Meccan and Medinan revelations shows that Medinan verses are regularly found in Meccan suras, but not the other way around. This, of course, excludes the only sura revealed between Mecca and Medina (Sura 8).

THE ADVENT OF A NEW ERA

With the advent of the Islamic year 1407 AH, a new era was ushered in that will eventually become known to the whole world. As stated in Qur’an 63:8, the true believers received profound signs and distinctive marks, of which the hypocrites are totally unaware.

All power belongs to God, His messenger, and the believers, but the hypocrites do not know. (63:8)

Meanwhile, Satan’s days are numbered. These last days of Satan are marked by the closest birth pangs (labor pains) yet. These are the birth pangs preceding the birth of the United Islamic Nation, in fulfillment of the 19-words of Sura 110.

The birth pangs have been occurring once a week, namely, every Thursday, during the Islamic year 1406 (19x74). For example, the first Thursday of 1406 witnessed the earthquake destruction of a major center of idol-worship, Mexico City. The detailed list is shown below.

This year, 1407, the birth pangs are occurring everyday (see list below). We expect a universal declaration sometime during 1407 AH, followed by the inevitable victory for all those who worship God

ALONE, and uphold His word ALONE.
