Explaining Islam in Light of the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ‎)

“Submission.org” is it Islamic?

Question

Sir, I want to ask you, is this web site www.submission.org has any errors?

Please guide me.

Answer

The Submitters, who run the mentioned website, are a group who follow the concepts of a man named Rashad Khalifa.

  • They believe in the Qur’an only and no other source.1

  • They reject the Sunnah of the Prophet completely.2

  • They reject the historical traditions of Ahadith, which is different than the Sunnah.3

  • They believe that the Qur’an was corrupted by two “false verses” being placed in it.4

  • They believe that the number 19 is very significant and that it is the code of the Qur’an.5

  • They believe that Satan is a “god” on earth.6

  • They believe that Satan is a fallen angel.7

  • They believe that Rashad Khalifa is a messenger after the Prophet Muhammad.8

  • They believe that anyone who dies before the age of 40 automatically goes to heaven.9

  • They believe that Jesus’ dead body was crucified.10

  • They believe that the Shahadah does not mention Muhammad as the Messenger of God.11

  • They claim they pray like the Prophet Abraham, yet there is no source for how he prayed.12

  • They reject how the Muslims, as taught by the Prophet Muhammad, pray.13

The list I have provided above highlights concepts that are unique to the Submitters.  May God guide us all onto His path and steer us away from whatever may misguide us.

I hope I have clarified the issue.

God knows best.
