Mecca, 610 AD
The Mother asked the Father, “Would you like to take over in the telling of our next subject?”
“You’re doing fine dear. Please continue,” answered the Father.
The Mother, as requested, proceeded. She looked at her captive audience and asked, “Remember the elder son of Abraham named Ishmael? How he was actually the soul in heaven known as Ishmael, son of Amos?”
The host nodded in unison. Yes they remembered Ishmael, and everything else that had been taught to them during this lengthy presentation. They awaited the Mother to continue with her message. Savoring every bit of information that was being offered to them. Enjoying the teachings about the Holy Grail. A subject that had mystified both humans and angels.
She complied with their wishes, “Well, while Rome was busy consolidating power over the Christian Church, Ishmael was busy in Arabia. Busy being a prophet, and the founder of a brand new religion. That belief will be forever known as Islam. And it will shake up the world on a massive scale.”
“In this life, Ishmael’s name would be the famous prophet of Islam known as Muhammad. Sent to confirm the essential teachings that there was only one God. A teaching preached previously by Adam, Abraham, Moses, and many other prophets. Muhammad is viewed in Islam as the final prophet.”
“As an orphan, Muhammad was raised by his paternal uncle. A devout man of God, who showed the youngster all the sacred books of the Jews. Especially the books of the prophets. Muhammad studied these books with a passion. Especially the teachings of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Amos, and Daniel. Along with the prophets, he spent considerable time studying the Hebrew Torah. The five books of Moses.
“As a child and into his early manhood, Muhammad would spend considerable time away from the populace in a cave. It is in this cave that Muhammad would come to pray and be with the Father. He’d spend several nights on end praying to his higher power. A being whom Muhammad would call ‘Allah.’ Which means God in Arabic.
“On the fortieth birthday of Muhammad, the Father sent one of his messengers. He sent the mighty Archangel Gabriel to visit him. This was the first revelation received from the Father.”
“Gabriel would come to visit Muhammad on many occasions. Teaching him great secrets about the past, present, and the future. Three years after Gabriel’s first visit, Muhammad began to preach in the streets about the visions he had been receiving. But as the prophet Jesus once said, ‘A prophet is never honored in his own country.’
“Muhammad preached that there is only one God. And that all needed to surrender, or submit to this one God. Allah, or the God of their fathers. The God of Abraham. Because you see, the Arabs never forgot their father Abraham, or the God that he prayed to. They never forgot Abraham’s son Ishmael, the first Arab. 2,500 years later, they still remembered their fathers Abraham and Ishmael. But they didn’t have any sacred writings to follow as their cousins the Jews had. That all changed with the coming of Muhammad.
“At the beginning of Muhammad’s ministry, he had very few followers, and many detractors in Mecca. After years of frustration, Muhammad and his followers migrated to the city of Medina. In Medina, after several more years, Muhammad united the tribes there under the constitution of Medina. Once this was accomplished, Muhammad and his by now many followers marched into the city of Mecca. The attack upon Mecca went mainly uncontested with very little bloodshed.
“Three years later, after the entire Arabian Peninsula had been converted, Muhammad fell ill and passed on to this world. From the time of the first visit of Gabriel unto his death, Muhammad received many visits and hundreds of visions. These visions would be assembled into what today is known as the Koran. A sacred and holy book to the over one billion Muslims who reside on planet earth.”
The Mother looked upon the prophet known as Muhammad, whom was the soul known as Ishmael in heaven. She stared at his image onscreen the viewer. His dark hair and eyes, and strikingly handsome looks. Square jawed, broad shouldered, with an athletic build. She smiled and said, “That is the short version of Muhammad. But there is far more to this story.”
“Let’s first give the back drop of what was the Arabian Peninsula before the life of Muhammad. The peoples who settled in this area where those whom descended from Abraham, Ishmael, and Ishmael’s twelve sons. As the Father of all things mentioned earlier, this tribe was a hybrid tribe. Hebrew from their father Abraham, and Egyptian from their mother Hagar. Descended from two holy royal bloodlines. Abraham descending from Adam and Eve. Hagar descending from Osiris and Isis. The tribe of Abraham and Ishmael was first known as the ‘Ishmaelites.’ Named after their father Ishmael.
“This tribe would have to fight for its life in order to survive. All other tribes of the Arabian Peninsula looked upon the Ishmaelites with suspicion. They thought to themselves, ‘Who are these invaders who talk of the one God? Who talk of a father named Abraham? Don’t these Ishmaelites realize that there are many gods? The god of the sea, land, fertility, the sun, the moon, and many others too numerous to mention?”
The Mother paused for a moment and continued, “Ishmael and Hagar brought with them a new radical way of teaching to the area. And thus become a large threat to the many tribes that had lived in the peninsula for thousands of years.”
“The end result was that the many tribes attacked the one tribe. When this happened, the God of Abraham showed how powerful he was by defeating the many tribes of the Arabian Peninsula. The Ishmaelites prevailing despite the huge odds levied against them.”
The Mother of all things looked at her partner the Father and asked, “Did you perform a few miracles for the Ishmaelites, my love?”
The Father answered her, “That’s all I do my sweet. I perform miracles. But the Ishmaelites didn’t need much help. For Ishmael, son of Amos, is a powerful soul in the kingdom of heaven”
She winked at him and continued, “In time, the Ishmaelites came to be known as the Arabians. Named after the peninsula that they now occupied.”
“After two thousand years of the Arabians occupying the peninsula, and branching off in other areas, they lost their roots. They forgot where they came from, and who their God was. Well, that’s not entirely true. They never forgot Abraham and Ishmael. They just didn’t have any direction. They were becoming influenced from the surrounding tribes, who were introducing their many gods and differences with them.
“This seems to happen often in human history. Forgetting your history, and your origins. Time has a way of accomplishing this. So by the time Muhammad appeared upon the scene, there were no less than three hundred gods in the Arabian Peninsula. All of them vying for supremacy. From the God of Abraham, to the many gods. But Muhammad changed all of that, and returned the Arabians back to their roots. Back to the one God, and his prophets.
“Gabriel would spend many nights conversing with Muhammad about the history of his people. Showing many revelations of the past, and the future of Islam. One of these nights, Gabriel showed Muhammad the kingdom of heaven, and all its glory. This night will forever be known as ‘the night of power.”
The viewer onscreen showed an image of the sacred mosque known as the Dome of the Rock located in Jerusalem. With its beautiful golden dome, and mighty splendor. A holy site due to what happened at this place during the night of power. And also what happened there 2,500 years prior.
The Mother looked upon the golden dome and resumed her teachings, “Muhammad was praying and fasting when the event occurred which would change history in the Middle East. Propelling the Islamic religion to the status that it would reach in the present day.”
“For thirty days Muhammad had been fasting and praying, and the Father of all things was listening to his every word. When Muhammad asked the Father to show him the kingdom of heaven, the Father responded by once again sending his beloved Archangel Gabriel.
“When Gabriel appeared to Muhammad, he took his hand and led him to the rock of ages in Jerusalem. The site of what would eventually be the Dome of the Rock. One second Muhammad was sitting in a cave, the next he was in Jerusalem. Now let us watch onscreen the viewer to see what happened next.”
The viewer showed Gabriel and Muhammad standing upon the rock at Mount Moriah in Jerusalem. Gabriel in all his splendor and glory, Muhammad a poor humble servant. The two were conversing with each other.
“What is this place?” asked Muhammad.
“This is one of the most sacred places on earth. It is the spot where the sacrifice was to occur,” answered Gabriel.
“What sacrifice?” asked Muhammad.
“The sacrifice that your father Abraham was to make to the Father of all things. Where he offered up his son as a ransom for many,” said Gabriel.
“I don’t understand. Why would the Father ask for a sacrifice as a ransom for many?” asked Muhammad.
“Soon you will,” answered Gabriel.
Muhammad looked at the Archangel. Not quite sure of what to say next. He was confused over the matter of this sacrifice that the angel was speaking of. But he took the word of Gabriel that he would soon know the meaning of this riddle.
Gabriel studied Muhammad while the prophet was in deep thought. He asked Muhammad, “Would you like to ascend into heaven?” asked the Archangel.
Muhammad wasn’t ready for that question. Ascend into heaven? What does that mean? But since he trusted Gabriel, he answered in the affirmative.
The next moment the two were in the same courtyard of the kingdom of heaven, where the Father and the Mother were giving the Holy Grail presentation to the angelic host. There were twenty four elders who stood in a circle around Gabriel and Muhammad. All of them dressed in long flowing white robes with golden belts around their waists. Some were dark haired, some blonde, and some red haired. All of them wore their hair long, and had full beards.
“Who are these people? Why are they all dressed like this? Why are they here?” asked Muhammad.
“These are the Father’s chosen prophets. Highly favored in the kingdom of heaven. They are all here to meet you,” answered Gabriel.
“To meet me? Why?” Muhammad was asking one question after another to the Archangel Gabriel.
“Because my dear Muhammad, you are one of them. They have come to welcome you into their group,” replied Gabriel.
“I’m not sure I understand,” said Muhammad.
“Why don’t you meet them, and then maybe you will understand,” said Gabriel.
“If it will help me to understand all things, then I will meet these highly favored men,” said Muhammad.
As soon as he uttered these words, the first of the twenty four prophets approached Muhammad. He had red hair, green eyes, and a kind smile. “My name is Adam,” said the prophet.
Muhammad and Adam spoke for a few moments, and then the next prophet approached, “My name is Noah,” said the second prophet.
This procession of prophets proceeded like a parade. One by one they approached Muhammad, exchanging pleasantries with the newest member of their selected group. They all knew that it was now Muhammad’s turn to prophesy to the masses of people on the planet earth. They were here to strengthen Muhammad, and let him know that he wasn’t alone in telling the deeper truths of the spirit. That all twenty four had preceded him. And that a long flowing white robe with a golden belt awaited Muhammad at the conclusion of his life on earth. Finally, there was only two prophets left for Muhammad to meet.
The last two prophets approached Muhammad and said, “My name is John, and standing next to me is Jesus. Do not fear those that oppose you, for the Father of all things will be with you, and strengthen you in your moments of doubt.”
“The one they called John the Baptist? And the prophet Jesus?” asked Muhammad.
“We are whom you speak of,” answered John.
“I am honored to meet you two,” said Muhammad. He knew the stories of Jesus and John the Baptist. Even as a boy, Muhammad heard many stories of these two told by the uncle that raised him. They were Muhammad’s heroes as he was growing up. And as he became a man, he tried to emulate them in every way possible. And now here he was standing face to face with both of them. Needless to say, Muhammad was in awe of them. These two beings were Muhammad’s favorites. An example for himself to follow. He felt completely blessed. His cup runneth over.
Jesus spoke to him, “You will meet much resistance along the way. Do not fear. For all of us met the same resistance that will come to you. We all overcame the world, and so will you. And when you are finished with your mission, you will join us in this holy fraternity.”
Muhammad was soaking in every word spoken to him from these heroes of his. Soaking in the presence of these most favored beings. Feeling the strength of the group. He looked at Jesus and asked, “Not all those things written about you are true, are they?”
Jesus knew that Muhammad was ready for the truth. He answered him, “The present church on earth has hijacked my teachings, and turned them into their own. Declaring that man must have to go through a priest, and a pope to commune with our Father. This is a false teaching done for the reason of controlling the population. It is true, not many things spoken about me are true. But there are some teachings of mine that have survived through the centuries, and will continue to do so. Part of your mission is to clarify the great spiritual truths of the Father. To bring the people back to him.”
Muhammad looked at both John and Jesus and asked, “How will I accomplish this?”
John answered him, “The Father will guide you through the Angel Gabriel.”
The three spoke for a few moments longer, and then Gabriel took Muhammad’s hand, and led him back to the cave where this night began. Once Gabriel strengthened Muhammad some more, he departed the scene. Leaving Muhammad alone with his prayers to the Father of all things. But before he did, he explained to Muhammad why the sacrifice had to occur on Mount Moriah.
The Mother turned away from the large viewer, and toward her captive audience. She spoke to them “Muhammad did indeed fulfill all that was given to him. With the help of our beloved Archangel Gabriel, he wrote a book known as the Koran. A manuscript to guide the people of Arabia.”
“The Koran would return the Arabians back to their original beliefs of Abraham and Ishmael. It would lead the people away from the many gods, and return them back to the God of Abraham. The God of their fathers. The Koran would also be a guidebook for living with their fellow human beings. Composed of laws and the teachings of the prophets. It was a way to unite all the tribes of the Arabian Peninsula. From there, it spread like wildfire to the entire region of the Middle East and North Africa. Over one hundred years after Muhammad’s vision with the prophets, this new religion known as Islam would have millions of followers. It was, and still is, the fastest growing faith on the planet.”
