Quranic Reflections

Reading the Quran in the Age of Epstein: A Shield Against Moral Decay

A New Lens for Reading the Quran

Salam Alaykum. My dear brothers, one of the things I advise when interacting with the Holy Quran is to wear “glasses” through which you read it. What does this mean? For example, in an episode titled “And Indeed, it is a Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds”1, I spoke about the many evidences in the Quran indicating it is the speech of a LORD to a servant, and cannot be the writing of a human seeking glory for himself.

The Quran attributes credit to ALLAH the Almighty in situations where credit might appear to belong to the Prophet (Peace be upon Him), and the Quran admonishes the Prophet in certain situations, warning Him if He were to deviate from the path of His LORD, and much more. If you approach reading the Quran with these glasses—the glasses of “The Superiority of Divine Discourse”—you will touch upon this meaning in many verses as you never have before.

Brothers who attended the “You Are Important”2 competition with us know that if you wear the “You Are Important” glasses and search for Quranic evidences indicating ALLAH’s celebration of the human race, HIS care in legislating for you, O human, in the details of your life, and what HE has prepared for HIS righteous servants; you will also find the verses have a different impact, and you will extract meanings that never crossed your mind.

The shock that hit the world after the publication of some files from the malicious “Epstein” network, and the models of horrific, hideous downfall involving its major criminals therein; after seeing the rock bottom humans can reach if they do not hold fast to the rope of ALLAH and HIS Law, read the Quran with these glasses: the glasses of “Realizing the difference between the sky of Sharia and the swamp of Epstein-ism”. I urge you, noble ones, to start this from now, before the sense of shock fades, and before Ramadan, begin reading the Quran with these glasses; you will find the verses have a great impact you never found before.

Divine Grace vs. Human Deviation

When you read the saying of ALLAH the Almighty: “Certainly did ALLAH confer [great] favor upon the believers when HE sent among them a Messenger from themselves, reciting to them HIS verses and purifying them and teaching them the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] and wisdom, although they had been before in manifest error3 (Suurat ‘Ali ‘Imraan, 3:164), and HIS saying: “Rather, ALLAH has conferred favor upon you that HE has guided you to the faith, if you should be truthful4 (Suurat ‘Al-Hujuraat, 49:17); you feel ALLAH’s favor upon us with this great religion through which HE saved us from the depths of disbelief.

When you read the saying of ALLAH the Almighty And WE have not sent You, [O Muḥammad], except as a mercy to the worlds5 (Suurat ‘Al-‘Anbiyaa’, 21:107), then look at the reality of humanity now after we, the followers of the Prophet of Mercy, weakened in performing our mission to save people from the darkness of disbelief, and you read HIS saying: “You are the best nation produced [as an example] for mankind…”6 (Suurat ‘Ali ‘Imraan, 3:110).

When you read the verses that call for virtue, preserve it, and protect all its causes, such as the saying of ALLAH the Almighty: “Tell the believing men to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Indeed, ALLAH is [fully] Aware of what they do. And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof…7 (Suurat ‘An-Nuur, 24:30-31); lowering the gaze, maintaining the chastity of sight… Look where the Quran is and where the followers of “Epstein-ism” are.

When you read: O Prophet, tell Your Wives and Your Daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over Themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused8 (Suurat ‘Al-‘AHzaab, 33:59).

When you see that ALLAH the Almighty addresses us saying: O children of Adam, let not Satan tempt you as he removed your parents from Paradise, stripping them of their clothing to show them their private parts9 (Suurat ‘Al-‘Acraaf, 7:27); covering, chastity, and modesty.

When you read the saying of ALLAH the Almighty: “Fight them; ALLAH will punish them by your hands and will disgrace them and give you victory over them and satisfy the breasts [i.e., desires] of a believing people, and remove the fury in their [i.e., the believers’] hearts10 (Suurat ‘At-Tawbah, 9:14-15); the verses ordering the repelling of the people of falsehood so there is no fitnah (trial/oppression) and religion is wholly for ALLAH. Perhaps before, you felt some hesitation regarding these verses, but now you see what happens if these people prevail and have dominance.

The Wisdom of Sharia vs. The Ignorance of Secularism

When you read the saying of ALLAH the Almighty: And if it were not for ALLAH checking [some] people by means of others, the earth would have been corrupted11 (Suurat ‘Al-Baqarah, 2:251); you now understand something of the corruption of the earth in the absence of repelling the people of falsehood.

When you read: Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of ALLAH is the most righteous of you12 (Suurat ‘Al-Hujuraat, 49:13); perhaps you felt inferiority as a Muslim before Western scientists and the wealthy before their reality was revealed to you. Whereas now you realize that regardless of the positions, wealth, and worldly knowledge they attain, they are lower than cattle: Those are like livestock; rather, they are more astray. It is they who are the heedless13 (Suurat ‘Al-‘Acraaf, 7:179).

When some impostors used to defend the likes of “Hawking” and the godfathers of atheism from the priests of pseudoscience, telling you: “Maybe the evidences of ALLAH’s existence didn’t reach them so they weren’t convinced, otherwise they are seekers of truth”; now you read the saying of ALLAH the Almighty: And WE have certainly revealed to you verses [which are] clear proofs, and no one would deny them except the defiantly disobedient14 (Suurat ‘Al-Baqarah, 2:99), you understand more that no one denies ALLAH’s verses except the defiantly disobedient, who has no readiness for guidance, does not want to know the truth, and a person seeking truth with impartiality cannot deny them.

When you read: Do you not consider those who dispute concerning the signs of ALLAH – how are they averted?15 (Suurat Ghaafir, 40:69). Those who argue and object to ALLAH’s verses, look where they are averted to, to what low depth they descend, and into what swamp they slide after leaving the rope of ALLAH’s verses.

When you read: “And is one who was dead and WE gave him life and made for him light by which to walk among the people like one who is in darkness, never to emerge therefrom? Thus it has been made pleasing to the disbelievers that which they were doing16 (Suurat ‘Al-‘Ancaam, 6:122).

When you read the saying of ALLAH the Almighty: Then is it the judgement of [the time of] ignorance they desire? But who is better than ALLAH in judgement for a people who are certain [in faith]17 (Suurat ‘Al-Maa’idah, 5:50); then you see the sky of Sharia, its purity, perfection, wisdom, and mercy. This great Sharia which the filthy “Epstein-ites” and their Arab tails were distorting, mocking, and attacking its rulings like dogs barking at the sky. You realize deeply that any alternative to Sharia is utter ignorance (Jahiliyyah). “Then is it the judgement of [the time of] ignorance they desire?“; any ignorance decorated, laws enacted for it, and justified with democratic and humanistic justifications, is still ignorance.

When you read: Indeed, ALLAH Orders justice and good conduct and giving [help] to relatives and Forbids immorality and bad conduct and oppression. HE Admonishes you that perhaps you will be reminded18 (Suurat ‘An-NaHl, 16:90); you realize the beauties of Sharia and humanity’s deprivation of it.

Protecting the Family Fortress

When you read: O you who have believed, fear ALLAH and give up what remains [due to you] of interest, if you should be believers. And if you do not, then be informed of a war [against you] from Allah and HIS Messenger19 (Suurat ‘Al-Baqarah, 2:278-279); then you look at the reality of humanity today, how usury (Riba) is one of the most important pillars of capitalism, increasing the rich in wealth and the poor in poverty, and the dominance of some rich people and their enslavement of people.

One of the most important reasons for Zionism’s dominance and influence is its dealing with usury. Some of those who fell into the nets of the “Epstein” network were looking to pay off university installments and living expenses and so on; you will know why ALLAH alienated people from usury and warned against it with the utmost warning.

When you read the verses that preserve the entity of the family: Men are in charge of women by [right of] what ALLAH has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth20 (Suurat ‘An-Nissaa’, 2:34); the woman must be protected by her men. These accursed wolves want to take her out of the protection and care of men under the name of freedoms, women’s work, women’s empowerment, and the strong independent woman, to dismantle the family and hunt its members.

When you read the many verses speaking about the Children of Israel, and you read HIS saying: Did I not enjoin upon you, O children of Adam, that you not worship Satan – [for] indeed, he is to you a clear enemy – And that you worship [only] ME? This is a straight path21 (Suurat YaaSiin, 36:60-61); then you look at those who have indeed worshipped Satan.

When you read HIS saying: O you who have believed, if you obey a party of those who were given the Scripture, they would turn you back, after your belief, [to being] unbelievers. And how could you disbelieve while to you are being recited the verses of ALLAH and among you is HIS Messenger? And whoever holds firmly to ALLAH has [indeed] been guided to a straight path. O you who have believed, fear ALLAH as HE should be feared and do not die except as Muslims [in submission to HIM]. And hold firmly to the rope of ALLAH all together and do not become divided…22 (Suurat ‘Ali ‘Imraan, 3:100-103) to the completion of the verses.

And many, many other verses. Just look at the verses containing legislation for you as a human; ALLAH Almighty Details the rulings to elevate your level and prevent your fall into this abyss we have seen.

Start today, my brothers, and engage in reading the Quran with the glasses of shock, with the glasses of the difference between the sky of Sharia and the abyss of Ignorance. I invite you, noble ones, to write your reflections in the comments; write the verse that stopped you, and write its connection to reality (without affectation or attempting to extract meanings not in the verse). Let this section remain a platform for these comments, perhaps ALLAH Glory be to HIM Will help us realize the blessing of this Great Book, and make us among those who act upon it and call to it.

Peace, Mercy, and Blessings of ALLAH be upon you.
