HOW DID IT COME TO THIS?

(PART 2)

INTRODUCTION

In part 1 we saw that billions of sectarian Muslims across generations

idolize the symbols of the Arab pagan goddess Allat and perform rituals
that are meant for celebrating the rebirth of the fertility idol. In this
part 2, we will be looking at a possible explanation from the great
reading itself of how this (and all such lies) happened. When I started
writing this article, it was solely about the location of where the great
reading was originally revealed and exposing the sectarians' pagan
rituals and symbols. As The God helped me progress, I realized that
"what happened" or "where it happened" is not as important as
fundamentally "how it happened". I am writing this introduction about
half way through Part 2 and there are some unanswered issues still
remaining. I would venture to say that, even at this stage, I feel that
the findings here are far more important than Part 1. It is as if through
the billions of sectarian Muslims who committed unforgivable idolatry,
The God somehow provides guidance to us.

WHAT IS ALLAT?

Let's look in the great reading for answers. Since as we saw, the
symbols and rituals are connected with the idol Allat, let's find out
what information we are given about her in the great reading. In
chapter 53 we hear about the belief of the pagans in Allat, Aluzza and
Manat:

53:19-28.

Have you seen Allat and Aluzza and Manat, the third one?

Do you have the male and He has the female? This is a false
division.

These are but names that you and your forefathers named. The
God never authorized such. They follow conjecture and what
the selves fantasize, while the guidance has come to them from
their Lord.

Or will the human have what he wishes for?

To The God are the ending and the beginning and how many
controllers in the heavens their intercession doesn't benefit
anything except after The God permits for whom He wills and
approves.

Those who don't have faith in the ending have named the
controllers feminine names and they had no knowledge about
this. They only follow conjecture and conjecture doesn't benefit
anything of the truth.

From the above passage, we can see that those who believed in Allat
and her consorts thought that they were controllers ("malaika"). We
know from archeological evidence that Allat was a fertility goddess. So
the prophets' people specifically believed that Allat controls fertility. We
also hear that they were following conjecture and their own fantasies.
In reality they were not serving the controllers but they were serving
the "jinn" as we are told here:

34:40-41. And on the day He gathers them all and then He says
to the controllers: "Were these serving you?" They say: "You be
exalted, you are our ally without them, they were serving the
"jinn", most of them have faith in them.

Those who serve Allat by venerating her symbols and performing her
rituals are actually serving the "jinn". So Allat is actually a "jinn". This
is further confirmed by the following passages:

6:100. And they made for The God partners the "jinn" and their
creation and they made up for Him sons and daughters without
knowledge, be He exalted and He is above what they describe.

37:158-159. And they made between Him and the "jinn" a

kinship while the "jinn" know that they are summoned. The God
be most exalted above what they describe.

We also hear from other passages that the "jinn" are the fuel of fire:

72:15. And as for the deviators, they are the fuel of hell.

By connecting 72:15 and 34:40-41 to 21:98, which says that the gods
that the idolaters serve are the fuel of hell, we can see that people who
serve the "jinn" take them as gods:
21:98. You and what you serve other than The God are the fuel
of hell, you are entering it. Had those been gods, they wouldn't
have entered it and all are forever in it.

But by applying 17:36, we know from our empirical observations that

Allat is nothing more than the figment of imagination of people. In
other words, she is just someone's fantasy. So now we can empirically
verify that 25:43 and 45:23 are connected to 21:98 and 34:40-41 and
complement them:

25:43. Have you seen the one who took his god as his fantasy?
So would you be a guardian on him?

45:23. Have you seen the one who took his god as his fantasy
and The God misguided him despite his knowledge and sealed
his hearing and his heart and distorted his sight? So who guides
him after The God? Don't you remember?

WHAT ARE THE "JINN"?

By putting all the above passages together, we can clearly see that the
"jinn" are in fact equivalent to the "fantasy". This is confirmed by 6:71:

6:71. Say: "Do we call upon other than The God what doesn't
benefit or harm us and we get turned on our heels after that
The God guided us? Like the one who those exceeding in
rebellion fantasized him in the earth, confused he has
companions inviting him to guidance: "Come to us."" Say: "The
God's guidance is the guidance and we are commanded to
comply to The Lord of the worlds."

As we can see above, it is those exceeding in rebellion ("shayateen")

that fantasize humans in the earth. So now we can go back and
translate "jinn" in the above passages as "fantasies" and see if it fits:

34:40-41. And on the day He gathers them all and then He says
to the controllers: "Were these serving you?" They say: "You be
exalted, you are our ally without them, they were serving the
fantasies, most of them have faith in them.

37:158. And they made between Him and the fantasies a

kinship while the fantasies know that they are summoned.
6:100. And they made for The God partners the fantasies and
their creation and they made up for Him sons and daughters
without knowledge, be He exalted and He is above what they
describe.

Notice that in 6:100, the partners that the idolaters made are said to
be the fantasies and their creation. This is exactly what Allat is. It is
someone's fantasy and the physical idols (the stone cube and the Black
Stone in its corner) are the creation of that fantasy. This is confirmed
by 29:17 where Ibrahim describes a situation similar to that of present
day sectarians:

29:17. But what you serve other than The God are idols and you
create falsehood. What you serve other than The God do not
control for you any sustenance, therefore seek the sustenance
at the God and serve Him and be grateful to Him; to Him you
shall be returned.

Notice that Ibrahim in 29:17 says that those idols do not control any
sustenance for his people. So clearly his people believed that those
idols control for them their sustenance, in other words, they believed
that they are controllers exactly as 34:40-41 was describing. There is
no doubt that similar to what Ibrahim faced, anyone who destroys
Allat's stone cube and Black Stone will face painful torture and
probably death at the hands of the sectarians.

So for all intents and purposes a "jinn" is our hidden fantasy, our
imagination. Our purpose both is to serve The God:

51:56. And I didn't create the fantasies and the humans except
to serve.

Controlled fantasies drive beautiful designs and beneficial inventions.

On the other hand, if we let our fantasies have power over us, then
they become exceeding in rebellion ("shaytan") and they misguide us
away from the path of The God. As can be seen from passages such as
7:18, 11:119, 32:13, 38:85, both the humans and the fantasies that
are exceeding in rebellion will fill hell. Stone idols such as Allat are the
physical expression of those exceeding in rebellion fantasies. Hence,
we are also told that humans and stones are the fuel of hell (see 2:24.
66:6).
The story of Solomon gives us an example of what happens when
fantasies are made to obey The God and are properly controlled.

27:17. Assembled for Solomon were his soldiers from the

fantasies and the humans and the flying creatures and they
were organized.

38:37-38. And those exceeding in rebellion every builder and

excavator and others who are linked in chains.

In the same way that uncontrolled fantasies make people create stone
idols such as Allat, when chained (controlled) they can also make
people create building and excavation machinery. In the same way
that stone idols are the physical expression of the fantasies that are
increasing in rebellion, beneficial inventions such as building and
excavating machinery are the physical expression of the controlled
fantasies. We can use those building and excavating machineries to
make useful things:

34:12-14. And for Solomon the wind, its coming one full-moon
and its going one full-moon and we flowed for him the fountain
of molten metal and from the fantasies are those who work
within his power with the permission of his Lord and whoever
deviates from our order, we make him taste from the torment
of burning. They make for him what he wills from private rooms
and models and containers like deep wells boilers built into the
ground. "Work appreciatively family of Dawood and a small
number of my servants are appreciative." So when we decreed
death on him, nothing showed them his death except a creeping
creature of the earth eating his staff so when he fell the
fantasies realized that had they known the hidden, they
wouldn't have remained in the disgracing torment.

Another passage that we can now better understand is 27:39:

27:39. One from the fantasies who stirs up the sand said: "I
bring it to you before you cease from your situation and I am on
it strong and trusty."

According to Classical Arabic dictionaries, the Arabic word Ÿ·—/"3afar"

means "to stir up the sand". Therefore, the word "3ifrit" in 27:39 would
mean something like "one who stirs up the sand". We know from other
passages that Solomon was taught the logic of flying creatures:
27:16. And Solomon inherited from Dawood and said: "People,
we have been taught the logic of flying creatures and we were
given from everything, indeed this is the revealing favor."

By connecting 27:16 and 27:39, we can see that Solomon combined

the knowledge about the logic of flying creatures with controlled
fantasies to perhaps create one from the fantasies who stirs up the
sand (this could be a flying machine, perhaps some kind of a
helicopter, a rocket, or a hovercraft that stirs up the sand as it takes
off or moves). The lesson learned here is that by combining knowledge
with controlled fantasies, we can produce beneficial things. For all
intents and purposes, such inventions can be considered the physical
representation of the fantasies.

On the other hand, when we follow our fantasies without knowledge, in

other words we let our fantasies and the fantasies of others have
power over us, then we are misguided:

30:29. But those who are unjust followed their fantasies

without knowledge, so who guides the one who The God
misguides and they don't have supporters?

Our hidden fantasy is linked to us. On the day of the account, people's
hidden fantasies that are linked to them will be readily apparent to
everyone.

50:23. And The one who is linked to him said: "This is what I
readily have."

If we don't control the hidden fantasy then it becomes exceeding in

rebellion and we will go astray as we saw above in 30:29:

50:27-29. The one who is linked to him said: "Our Lord, I didn't
cause him to transgress but he was far astray". He said: "Do
not quarrel at Me and I had already gave you the warning. The
saying is not changed with me and I am not unjust to the
servants." And We say to hell: "Are you full?" And it says: "Is
there more?"

See also 4:38 and 41:25:

41:25. And we assign to them linked companions so they
decorate for them what is between their hands (the present)
and what is behind them (the past). And the saying is true on
them in nations that passed before them from the fantasies and
the humans that they are losers.

We control the fantasy by remembering the Almighty:

43:36-38. And whoever withdraws from remembering The

Almighty, we assign to him one who is exceeding in rebellion so
he becomes linked to him. And they hinder from the path and
deduce that they are guided. Until when he comes to us, he
says: "I wish the distance of the two sunrises was between you
and me (i.e., you were on the other side of the earth), what a
miserable one who is linked."

The Arabic word "jinn" is also related to the word "majnoon", which is
used to mean "crazy", in other words, someone whose mind is in the
fantasy world and detached from reality. The word is used in two
passages that talk about what the prophet saw at the highest/revealing
horizon, namely 53:1-18 and 81:22-23. The passages share a
particular refutation for the companions of the prophet:

53:2-3. Your companion did not go astray and deviate and he

doesn't speak from the fantasy.

81:21. Your companion is not crazy.

Notice that the first passage starts with saying that "your companion
did not go astray and deviate and he doesn't speak from the fantasy"
and the second passage starts with "your companion is not crazy (his
mind is in a fantasy)". Now we can see that those two passages are
actually refuting an overlapping assertion by the companions of the
prophet. This is because speaking from the fantasy is related to being
crazy/"majnoon" (someone whose mind is in a fantasy).

As further confirmation of the present understanding, let's apply the

same meaning of "fantasy" in different kinds of occurrences of the
word "jinn" and its derivatives. For example, here we apply it to 15:27:

15:27. And the fantasy, we created it previously from

smokeless fire (energy?).
Scientists have learned for sometime now that there are certain
dominant brainwave patterns associated with imagination. Brainwaves
are energy. The information given to us in 15:27 and 55:15 could
perhaps be interpreted to mean that the fantasy was created from
energy.

Another passage where "jinn" is mentioned in a different context is

27:10:

27:10. And throw your staff, so when he saw it shake like a

fantasy, he turned back...

In 28:31 and 27:10, we are told that Moses saw his staff shake as if it
was a fantasy. One can readily see that the meaning of "fantasy" fits in
those passages as the staff was shaking as if one is imagining it.

Now when we read passages such as 55:56 and 55:74, it can be

understood that they are giving allegories of things in heaven that no
human or fantasy has ever touched (i.e., has ever been able to
understand). In other words, they are things that are far better than
what we can comprehend in the familiar physical world and even what
we can imagine and fantasize about:

55:74. No human or fantasy previously touched.

Similarly, 17:88 can be understood as saying that something like this

reading cannot be produced by humans and their fantasy/imagination.

17:88. Say: "If the humans and the fantasies assembled

together to bring the like of this reading, they wouldn't bring
like it, if even had they been supporters for each other."

In chapter 72, we hear that a group of the fantasies listened to the

great reading. Since, as we saw above, fantasies are inherently linked
to humans, so this means that those were the fantasies of a group of
humans that were listening. The fantasies are paraphrased as saying
that they were amazed by the reading and realized upon hearing it that
The God did not have a female companion or children. They continue
by saying that they believed that the humans and the fantasies would
not say lies about The God (i.e., that the humans would not fantasize
lies about The God). The same event is recounted differently in 46:29-
32 so we know that those descriptions are not literal quotes but are
paraphrasing what is to be learned from the passage. Now, one might
ask: how can our fantasies listen, have conversations and so on? It is
in the same way that mountains can choose (33:72) and our hands
and legs can talk and testify (36:65). All creatures have a hidden side
that we are unaware of. We are only aware of mountains and
brainwaves but not their hidden side. Interestingly, 17:78 gives special
importance to reading at dawn by saying that it is witnessed. Scientists
have found out that when we had just woken up at dawn, the
associated brainwave pattern (called Alpha) is a state of relaxed
alertness that is good for inspiration and learning.

The passage continues in 72:6 by paraphrasing the fantasies as saying

that men from the humans used to seek refuge in men from the
fantasies so they increased them in hardship. This is what one would
expect since unlike "one who stirs up the sand from the fantasy" in
27:39, "men from the fantasies" like an imaginary friend cannot be
realized and really help with anything and if one seeks help from them
as if they are real this will likely lead to psychological disorder.

The next part is perhaps one of the most puzzling in all of the great
reading. It talks about the fantasies "touching" the heaven and finding
it filled with guards and bombardments. A similar passage is in 55:33-
35 and 37:7-10 so perhaps those can shed light on this puzzle.

55:33-35. O consorts of fantasies and humans if you can pass

through the casings of the heavens and the earth, then pass
through. You will not pass through without authority. So which
of your Lord's marvels do you deny? He sends on both of you
projectiles from fire and sparks so you don't prevail.

We can see from 55:33-35 that The God sends on both (dual) the
fantasies and the humans projectiles of fire and sparks if they try to
pass through the casings of the heavens and the earth. Since given our
present state of knowledge, scientists haven't been able to know what
would happen to an object that passes through regular space (into
what is commonly known as hyperspace), let's focus on what we know,
which is the earth. We know that even with all the scientific
advancements today, no one has ever been able to penetrate beyond a
few miles into the earth. Scientists predict that in the earth is encased
an inner core that has a temperature of 7000 degrees Celsius and a
pressure of 45 million pounds per square inch (or about 3.5 million
times atmospheric pressure). So indeed passing through the earth
would be impossible for humans and the fantasies. The immense
pressures and temperatures will surely destroy anyone or any creation
of our fantasies (such as an earth penetrating machine) that tries to
pass through.

The passage in 34:14 makes it clear that the fantasies do not know the
hidden:

34:14. So when We decreed on him death, nothing indicated to

them his death except a mover of the earth eating his staff. So
when he fell, it was revealed to the fantasies that had they
known the hidden, they wouldn't have stayed in the degrading
suffering.

Perhaps we can understand the suffering of the fantasies in 34:14 by

understanding the opposite of their suffering, which is their enjoyment:

6:128. And at the time when He gathers them together, "O

consorts of fantasies you took a lot of the humans" and their
protectors from the humans said: "our Lord, we enjoyed one
another and we reached our term that You appointed for us."
He said: "The fire is your abode, everlasting in it, except what
The God willed, your Lord is wise, knowledgeable.

We know that for humans uncontrolled fantasies are indeed enjoyable.

People generally enjoy indulging in uncontrolled fantasies about
wealth, power, and lust. So according to 6:128, humans enjoy
uncontrolled fantasies and likewise the fantasies get enjoyment when
the humans let them be uncontrolled in that way. So Solomon has
caused the fantasies that were exceeding in rebellion to suffer by the
degradation of controlling them and preventing them from getting
enjoyment. It is interesting to note that shortly upon the death of all
prophets, most of their people have returned to their misguided ways.

Let's continue to apply the same meaning of "fantasy" in other kinds of

occurrences of the word "jinn":

6:112. And like this we made for each prophet enemies, those
exceeding in rebellion from the humans and the fantasies, they
inspire one another with fancy sayings out of arrogance and
had The God willed, they wouldn't have done it. So leave them
and what they make up.
We can now see that 6:122 is talking about an empirically verifiable
fact. Namely, false but "fancy" sayings come from the inspirational
interaction between humans and their fantasies/imagination.

A certain antecedent fantasy is described in several places in the great

reading as taking part of an important turning point:

2:34. And when We said to the controllers: "Obey Adam so they

obeyed except Iblis/"iblis?" refused and was arrogant and was
from the unappreciative.

7:11. And we had created you then shaped you then said to the
controllers obey Adam so they obeyed except Iblis/"iblis" was
not from those who obey.

15:30-31. So all the controllers obeyed except Iblis/"iblis?"

refused to be with those who obey.

17:61. And when We said to the controllers obey Adam so they

obeyed except Iblis/"iblis?", he said: "Do I obey who you
created as mud?"

18:50. And when We said to the controllers obey Adam so they

obeyed except Iblis/"iblis?" was from the fantasies so he
deviated from the command of his Lord. So do you take him and
his descendants as protectors other than Me while they are
your enemy? Miserable is this substitution for the unjust.

20:116. And when We said to the controllers obey Adam so they

obeyed except Iblis/"iblis?" refused.

38:73-74. So all the controllers together obeyed except

Iblis/"iblis?" was arrogant and was from the unappreciative.

As can be seen from the above, Iblis (which as a common noun

means: "one who is stuck") was supposed to obey the human Adam.
In the same way that we are descendants of Adam, our fantasies are
the descendants of Iblis/"one who is stuck" (see 18:50).

Another piece of information that can be seen from the above passages
is that this antecedent fantasy was one of the controllers/"malaika".
Contrary to popular belief, the word "malaika" doesn't mean "angels".
The Arabic word "malaika" is the plural of "malak". The word "malak"
means "one who controls/owns", i.e. a controller. According to 3:26,
"mlk"/control is a status that can be given and taken away by The
God:

3:26. Say: "O The God, controller of control, You give control to
whom you will and take away control from whom you will and
you give power to whom you will and you make powerless
whom you will, goodness is with your hand (i.e., your power),
You are capable over everything.

From 3:26, it can be seen that control is given to anyone and taken
away from anyone by The God at any time. 3:26 makes it clear that
being one from the "malaika"/controllers is a status, not some kind of
mythical creature flying around in a white robe with a halo over the
head. Thus, the controllers can be any creature that The God gave this
status to. As long as they obey The God, they remain in that status. If
one of them chooses to disobey The God, as Iblis/"one who is stuck"
did, then The God takes from him this status and he is no longer a
controller.

Connecting the passages such as 2:34 above with what we learned so

far about controlling the fantasies and not letting them control us, we
can see that if we make the fantasies obey us as their ancestor should
have done in the above passages then we both can fulfill our purpose
to serve The God as stated in 51:56.

51:56. And I didn't create the fantasies and the humans except
to serve.

CONCLUSION

We started out this article by asking "how did it come to this?" We

tried to get to the root cause of the symptoms that we can see around
us. The great reading provides a unique link between symptoms and
hidden root causes. Those are links that we can all empirically verify
and personally relate to. Going through the process of getting to our
findings is at least as important as the findings themselves. Personally,
going through this process has had a profound effect on me and my life
and has increased my trust in The God's message.

In this process, we examined empirical observations in the world

around us. For example, we looked at what sectarians do today at the
place that their predecessors named Mecca and we looked at physical
archeological evidence. We then looked at the evidence from the great
reading and compared it to empirical observations. It is thus that we
were able to find out what "jinn" means.

We can even test our understanding with any such "symptom", past or
present. For example, sectarians today fantasize that the prophet can
intercede on their behalf and can control who goes to heaven. Thus,
one may think that they idolize the prophet. However, upon closer
examination of the root cause of this symptom, one can see that they
are in fact not idolizing the real prophet but they are idolizing an
imagined prophet, i.e. a fantasy. So when they implore this fantasized
prophet they are in fact serving nothing more than a fantasy. Another
example is Jesus. What Christians actually idolize and serve is not
Jesus but in fact is an imagined Jesus, i.e. a fantasy. In fact, you can
test this understanding by applying it to all such symptoms of setting
partners with The God and you would always get to the same
fundamental root cause. It is also a fact that in all such tests, you
would never get to the root cause as being reptilians/snakes as the
Bible contends or ghosts as sectarian mythology contends.

As a side note, the word "jinn" is also related to the word "jannat",
which means a garden. However, one can now see that it is not just
any garden but a fantastic garden. As an interesting side note, while
the "jinn"/fantasies are the fuel of hell, there is no evidence in the
great reading of any "jinn"/fantasies in the fantastic garden ("jannat").
Those who go to heaven, by The God's mercy, will have free will. As
we can see from passages such as 16:31, they simply will something
and they get it:

16:31. Gardens of residence, they enter it, the rivers flow

beneath it, for them in it what they will, like that The God
reimburses the forethoughtful.

Of course, if someone simply wills something and gets it then there is

no need to fantasize it. So fantasies become unnecessary and are not
needed in the fantastic garden/"jannat". On the other hand,
"jinn"/fantasies being the fuel of hell would imply that hell is the
realization of our worst fantasies or the worst thing that we can even
imagine.

With this understanding we can see how everything in the great

reading including Iblis and the "jinn" interrelates to our lives and the
empirical realities that we can observe. Moreover, we can now see that
the great reading provides us with simple yet extremely powerful
guidance. We can see that we simply have to control our fantasies and
not let them or those of others control us. There are so many new
doors that open as a result of this improved understanding of "jinn"
and if The God willed, this will help us to better understand the great
reading and the world. For example, we can better understand the
following passage:

4:78-79. Wherever you are, death will reach you even if you
were in fortified towers. And if good comes to them, they say:
"This is from The God". And if bad comes to them, they say:
"This is from you". Say: "All is from The God", so what is the
matter with those people they almost can't understand any
saying?

What comes to you from good is from The God and what comes
to you from bad is from yourself and We sent you to humankind
as a messenger and The God suffices as a witness.

We can empirically see that what bad that may come, for example the
death of a loved one, although it may be bad for you, it is actually
good when we look at the big picture. Death in general serves as a
good reminder that this low life is not important and that it is the
hereafter that matters. If the person served The God, The Truth, then
they will enter the fantastic garden and this is good. On the other
hand, if the person served the fantasies then death would indeed have
been a bad thing for him/her but the badness came from him/herself
not from The God. Indeed, when we hear that all comes from The God
and good comes from The God, this means that all that comes from
The God is good. Also, we can now see from the first chapter of the
great reading that The God can guide us to the straight path (a good
thing) by contrasting it with the path of the strayers. So, in a way, The
God can accomplish good even from the strayers who spin seven times
around an idol and kiss the crown of the re-born idol head. Perhaps,
without their misguidance, we wouldn't have improved our
understanding of what "jinn" means.

1:7. Guide us the straight path, the path of those You bestowed
Your favor on, those who have not earned anger at them and
not the strayers.
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:

2:2. This is the book no doubt in it, a guidance for the

forethoughtful.

This article reflects my personal interpretation of the passages of the

great reading and of physical archeological evidence as of February 18,
2006. I will try to improve my understanding of the great reading and
the universe, except if The God wills and perhaps my Lord guides me
to what is nearer in rationality. Please verify all information within for
yourself as commanded in 17:36, and remember that simply "none" is
the forethoughtful answer to 45:6. If The God willed, the outcome of
this article will be beneficial.
