Indeed, they are full of doubt, heedless.
Therefore, look for the day when
the sky brings a tremendous smoke.
It will envelope the people:
“This is a painful retribution.
Our Lord, remove this retribution for us,
we now have believed.”
How come they now take heed,
when a messenger had come to them,
but they disregarded him and said,
“Well educated, but crazy.”
We will remove the retribution
a little bit. But then, you will soon revert.
[44:9-15]
Thus, our Almighty Creator is informing us about the consequences of disbelieving in His consolidating messenger, God’s Messenger of the Covenant.
We are told clearly, by God Himself, |
that the day will come when a tremendous smoke will envelope all the people on earth. Scientists – astronomers – know that such a disaster can happen when an asteroid hits the earth, During 1989, the earth experienced a near-miss with a huge asteroid. That was God’s warning to the disbelievers.
Also, we learn from several verses in the Quran that a divinely authorized retribution of this magnitude comes to pass ONLY and soon after the sending of God’s messenger (17:15).
The proofs are abundant that the messenger referred to in 44:13 is God’s Messenger of the Covenant:
1. By adding the sura number (44) plus the verse number (13), we get 57, 19x3. |
The Quran’s 19-based mathematical miracle was revealed through God’s Messenger of the Covenant.
2. The sum of sura numbers plus the number of verses from the beginning of the Quran to 44:13, is 5415, or 19x19x15.
3. In the same verse (44:13) the word “Zikrā ذكرى ” used is exactly the same word used to describe the Quran’s 19-based miracle (74:31). This powerful correlation links the Smoke with God’s miracle and God’s Messenger of the Covenant.
4. The description of the messenger by his adversaries as “Well educated, but crazy” (44:14) has already been uttered by today’s disbelievers in reference to Rashad Khalifa.
