00:28 Introduction, and what I have been doing.
01:10 A new article of 19,000 words in the works.
01:56 Introducing Sura 86 and relevancy of the Qur’an in our time.
03:28 Reading of Sura 86:1-3
03:48 Many oaths between Sura 50 and the end of the Qur’an.
04:03 Oaths are always relevant to the context, an inference of something to come.
04:22 The sky in Sura’s 82-86, a theme (a grouping).
05:10 “And what will convey to thee” occurs in the Qur’an 8-10 times, a signpost.
– you don’t know what this is
– I’m going to tell you
05:43 My method developed, pan textual analysis vs. traditionalists improvisation.
06:27 Pan textual analysis explained.
06:47 My method using Qur’anic definitions.
07:16 The Qur’an is a dictionary among other things (eg. At-Tariq is the Piercing Star).
07:56 Nuances of words over 1400 years can be word checked using Qur’an.
8:16 “False friends”, words that change their meaning over time, eg. “gay”.
09:17 The Qur’an has a mechanism (for preserving it’s words/meaning).
09:47 Religion uses the ‘language of the priesthood’.
10:22 Arabic, it’s deficiencies and richness (in root).
10:30 English example of ‘the root of a word’.
11:05 Arabic is much more proficient for arriving at the root of a word.
12:00 The Qur’an and the Arabic language guards against degeneracy of words/meaning.
12:31 (This) method of usage, to authenticate the Qur’an.
12:48 No substitute for hard work.
13:46 The traditionalist, his toolkit is faulty.
– cannot use an extraneous source for verification of a book, complete and perfect.
– it is philosophically irreconcilable.
14:33 Reading of Sura 86:4
14:48 Everything we do is recorded, nothing is hidden.
15:10 The ultimate reality to where we’re going, is the Judgement.
15:30 Our earthly lives here, will fade into insignificance there.
15:50 Our entire life is in a preserved writ.
16:30 The sky that rotates daily, and the human ability to extrapolate intellectually.
17:30 Religion convinces you to outsource your responsibility.
17:47 The Islamic religion in the last 800 years (consistent lack of achievement).
18:22 The ‘priesthood’ (Islamic scholars) and the results examined.
18:56 I won’t outsource responsibility for my eternal soul to these people.
19:11 Showcasing my process of due diligence in order to arrive at what I believe, and sharing tools.
19:46 Working full time with this book for 8 years, and happy to share with others.
20:20 The near death experience examined.
21:20 Reading of Sura 86: 5-7
22:12 Our advantage today, thinking in cinematic ways, a language.
23:12 The Qur’an embodies a language, is disjointed, but the story is there.
24:24 Reading of Sura 86:8
24:44 ‘The night-comer’, (something that returns every night), and ‘He is able to return him’, the similitude examined.
24:52 This is the motif, we are all returning back to God.
24:58 Reading Sura 86:9-11
25:25 The Qur’an, folding into itself, is an interplay (has a mystical essence).
25:53 Reading of Sura 86:12
– if the earth didn’t have cracks, we won’t be able to grow anything.
26:16 Reading of Sura 86:13-17
– puts everything in perspective of eternity.
26:57 Living under a world government the last 100 years.
27:22 There are worst things than death, like going to hell forever.
28:00 Natural man vs. sanitized man.
28:36 The broader context of eternity in the Qur’an.
28:44 Nothing has changed, you were always going to die.
29:01 The materialistic religions of Communism and Capitalism.
– have been conflated
– the new religion is government
29:49 They will never leave you alone, they’ve got to control you.
30:39 Government as prison warders.
31:24 All governments are materialists.
– fundamentally, all anti-God
31:52 They now want you to submit and wear your badges of submission.
32:33 The enemy is what it always was, it’s now being declared, and it’s you.
32:47 All accountable on a day of eternity as elaborated within these Suras.
