Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.  (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

 One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Can you please comment on the quotated quranic verse in the below email...we couldn`t find this verse in the below mentioned reference number. Is this Quranic verse or just a misguidance..

Quran ( 9:11) -- For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace.

waiting for your reply..
Thanks & regards,

the below email :
The number 11

The number 11 --- weird! 11 has become to be a very interesting number. It could be a forced coincidence, but in any case this is interesting.
You decide for yourself:

1) New York City has 11 letters.
2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.
3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened the Twin Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.
4) George W. Bush has 11 letters.
This could be a mere coincidence... (Could it be?)

Now here is what is interesting...
1) New York is the State # 11
2) The first plane crushing against the Twin Towers was flight # 11.
3) Flight # 11 was carrying 92 passengers. Adding this number gives us: 9+2=11.
4) Flight # 77 who also hit the towers, was carrying 65 passengers. Adding this: 6+5=11

5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11. Adding this: 9+1+1=11
6) The date is equal to the emergency number 911. Adding this: 9+1+ 1=11

Now we have a very upsetting piece..
1) The total number of victims inside the planes are 254: 2+5+4=11
2) The day September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year: 2+5+4=11
3) After September 11, there are 111 days more to the end of the year.
4) The tragedy of 3/11/2004 in Madrid also adds to: 3+1+1+2+4=11.
5) The tragedy in Madrid happened 911 days after the tragedy of the Twin Towers.

Read on! This is really eerie,,,

Since America is typically represented by an Eagle. Saddam and Bin Laden should have read up on their Muslim passages...The following verse is from the Quran, (the Islamic Bible).

Quran ( 9:11) -- For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace.

Note the verse number!!!!!

Answer:

Quoted verse not from the Quran Tragedy 9/11

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

The Statement: ‘For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace.’

Allah is our witness, the above quoted statement is neither from the Quran nor even from the Sunnah!!!

There is no bigger lie or a bigger sin than to attribute to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, something which is not from Him!

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah Baqarah verse 79:

Then woe to those who write The Book with their own hands, and then say, “This is from Allah”, so that they might gain some paltry worldly price. This writing of their hands will bring woe to them, and what they gain thereby will lead to their ruin!

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 4 Surah Nisaa verse 50:

50 Behold! How they invent a lie against Allah! But that by itself is a manifest sin!

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 10 Surah Yunus verses 69-70:

69 Say: "Those who invent a lie against Allah will never prosper."

70 A little enjoyment in this world! and then to Us will be their return. Then shall We make them taste the severest Penalty for their blasphemies.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 11 Surah Hud verse 18:

18 Who does more wrong than those who invent a lie against Allah? They will be turned back to the presence of their Lord and the witnesses will say "These are the ones who lied against their Lord! Behold! The Curse of Allah is on those who do wrong!

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 18 Surah Kahf verse 15:

15 Who does more wrong than such as invent a falsehood against Allah?

Beloved brother, although you have not specifically asked us to comment on the subject matter of the above email and its supposed significance of the ‘number 11’, it is our duty as your brothers and sincere well-wishers in faith to advice you that a number is a number, and the number itself has absolutely no significance with what happens in our lives!

People who have no knowledge and have too much time to waste delve in such frivolous exercises to determine which number has significance, and which one does not; and if their exercise does not match their results, they will even go as far as to invent a lie and attribute that falsehood and blasphemy to Allah Subhanah, the Lord of the Worlds!

Every life, without exception, is sacred in the Sight of the Lord! Millions of people were slaughtered during the unjust war between Russia and Afghanistan, tens of thousands of innocent men, women, and children were brutally murdered in recent times in Bosnia, Kosovo, Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya, etc. but no one seems to care enough that the loss of those thousands and thousands of innocent lives are valuable enough to have an investigation and bring the murderers to justice! But when 3,000 people of a particular country are killed, the hue and cry created over their death is made to effect the lives of every human being on this planet earth! Not that I mean any disrespect or mean to dishonor the loss of the 3,000 innocent lives that were lost in the Trade Centre in New York; but it just seems that in the unjust world today a life lost from one country is made to seem priceless, while thousands of innocent lives lost from another country are made to seem worthless!

Allah is our witness, every innocent life that was taken away without right will have its full say on an Inevitable Day of Judgment which is sure to come; and Allah is our witness, the value of ones life on that Day will not be based on one’s nationality! On that Tumultuous Day, in that Supreme Court of Allah, and in the Presence of the One and Only Majestic Lord of the Worlds, Allah is our witness, every innocent one whose life was taken without right will get his full due and recompense, and every guilty one who took the life of another without right will have his full due and recompense!

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
