Islam and How the Power Brokers Manipulate ”Other” Countries – Powerful Khutba

Why are Muslim, so-called ”developing”, and other non-European/ US countries embroiled in poverty, chaos, dictatorships, lacking in having a voice in their own economies and governments? Why are even ordinary Americans struggling to live? This sweeping and powerful khutba speaks truth to power, puts into simple language and Quranic truths why this is happening and what to do about it. But first, knowing how the power-brokers deliberately destroy millions of lives empowers us to change.

Analyzing Surah 108 Al-Kawthar: Can You Produce a Surah like it?

In response to a question as to why Allah the Exalted challenged us to produce a surah like those in the Quran, giving the shortest surah 108 as an example of a simple surah anyone could write, I offer the following analysis of that surah showing a closer look at its inimitable presentation:

Surat Al-Kawthar Analysis

إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ

Indeed, We have granted you, [O Muhammad], al-Kawthar. (Al-Kawthar 108:1)

فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَانْحَرْ

So pray to your Lord and sacrifice [to Him alone]. (108:2)

إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ الْأَبْتَرُ

Indeed, your enemy is the one cut off. (108:3)

This surah consists of 3 ayat, but as we shall show, packs much power and meaning into its 11 words and 43 letters.

The sum of the digits of its number, 108, is 9, which is a significant number in itself and represents, in the “infinitive” form of a number, both giving and cutting off, the very dynamic theme of this surah. This number 9 is represented by, in terms of months in the Hijri calendar, the 9th month of Ramadan, the number of repentance and returning to Allah. And returning to Allah can be represented as a circle, whose number is 360, the number of degrees in a circle, and of course this too is divisible by 9.
