Praise be to God. There is no other god except God.

In the last Friday sermon, we concluded that Dhul-Qarnayn is also the DNA. Before that, we concluded that it was Cyrus the Great. In the last sermon, we concluded that Dhul-Qarnayn, the one with two horns, is DNA. And then I said there’s more than one meaning into what the one with two horns means. So the Quran mentions the one with two horns, and it has quite a few meanings.

The last meaning I want to talk about—because let me just say that there’s one more meaning which I’m just going to skip, is the DNA of the humans or human-shaped beings, and then there’s another meaning, the DNA of humans—for all of them you can actually learn something, but I’m going to skip because we can include them in the DNA in general.

But the one I want to talk about is more different. The one I want to talk about today is that the one with two horns—basically with horns, we concluded, are those like twisted shapes. In this case, another meaning is the magnetosphere. The magnetosphere is one with two horns. It has two poles.

Let me show the photo. So it’s this one. So basically here we have a representation. It’s not a photo. You cannot take a photo of it. But it’s an illustration of the magnetosphere. What is the magnetosphere? It’s just basically a magnetic field which comes out of the earth, and it has a north pole, one horn, and then it has a south pole, another horn. And the further from the magnetic poles they are, they kind of bend more. So basically there are, there might be actually horns which are straight. As you can see, there’s two horns here. One in the south pole, one in the north pole. So we can understand that the one with two horns is the magnetosphere.

And let’s now read the verses of the Quran and see how it actually makes sense when we read all the verses and we can learn things from it. For those who like science, these sermons are fun in the sense that they learn both religion and science at the same time. Anyway, yeah, let’s read the verses which talk about the one with two horns while trying to understand them as the magnetosphere, the one with two horns.

So it says—we’re going to read the same verses as last time, but now slightly differently translated. Again, all meanings are correct. Let’s not focus too much on why it was different last time. In the Arabic, it includes them; in English, we have to choose one specific meaning anyway. So let’s read now the verses in Surah 18, verse 83. It says: they ask you about the one with two poles, magnetosphere—so it has two poles, magnetosphere—say, I will tell you about it a lesson to remember. We established it on earth—of course, the magnetosphere is established on earth. A lot of other planets don’t have it. Some of them do, but we established it on Earth and gave it a path through everything. Because why? Because it goes through everything. The magnetic field goes through everything on earth, including us. It goes through us.

We established it on earth and gave it a path through everything. So it followed a path until it reached the place where the sun disappears. It found the sun disappearing in a spring of black mud. Lava. Okay, let’s check how lava looks. Look, lava looks like black mud. So now in this case, we are going—actually, last time we went in the past and the future, one path, another path, but here now we’re going downward and upward. So as it followed one path, let’s say downward where the sun disappears. That’s where the sun disappears. It disappears downward. It found the sun disappearing in a spring of black mud. That’s basically the lowest layer that the sun reaches. I think lava comes from the mantle. I’m not sure, but I think it comes from the mantle of the earth. And the sun doesn’t go beyond the mantle, the sun rays beyond the lava.

And it found a community of atoms. In this case, we’re talking about non-organic communities. It found a community of atoms. We said, “O you with two poles, magnetosphere, you either punish, meaning repel them, or treat them good, attract them.” Because what do the magnets do? They either repel, they push away, or they attract, they bring towards you. So either you punish, meaning push it away, or attract it, bring it towards you. It said: as for those in darkness, soon we will repel them—there’s magnets which are repelled, they are dark—then they will be returned to their lord and we will punish them with a terrible punishment. As for those who believe—basically get attracted, and usually they are not dark like magnets—and did good, for them is a good reward. We will speak to them from our command gently. And basically this pretty much includes pretty much all the other materials anyway.

Then it pursued another way until it reached the place where the sun appears. So now where does the sun appear? High, high, high above the sky. It found the sun appearing on a community of atoms. So basically in this case, let’s not forget we are following the path of the magnetosphere as it goes down through all the way to the earth’s core and then up all the way through the atmosphere and beyond. And then it’s going to follow another way all the way to the earth’s core. Where was I? Let’s continue reading.

Then it pursued another way until it reached the place where the sun appears. It found the sun appearing on a community of atoms. Another way is now up, of atoms for whom we did not create any covering, magnetic field, from it, the sun. So basically once you pass all the way through the atmosphere and beyond, the magnetic field becomes less and less and there’s no protection from it. Because what does the magnetic field do of the earth? It protects us from the sun rays, from the sun radiation, the bad rays of the sun. Naturally we were aware of it.

It then followed another path, now all the way down to the earth until it arrived between the two barriers. Actually, this is—sorry, until it arrived between the two barriers. Let me see if I actually got this right. Oh yeah, actually it is in the atmosphere still. So now it’s between the highest and the lava. Let me repeat it again, sorry. So first the path which it took was all the way down to the lava. Not all the way down to the core of the earth because it’s going to be mentioned later, you’ll see. And then it went all the way up, and now somewhere in between. Somewhere in between is the atmosphere, like neither too high, neither too low.

Until it arrived between the two barriers, the tropopause and the stratopause. Tropopause is basically the place where the troposphere ends, and the stratopause is the place where the stratosphere ends. That’s where these are actually important for us not to get UV rays, in the stratosphere. That’s where the ozone layer is and all of that. So he found beside them a community of atoms of oxygen whose language it could barely understand. Basically, oxygen is paramagnetic. What does paramagnetic mean? So as we concluded, there are materials which are non-magnetic, meaning that the magnets do not affect them, including the earth’s magnetic field. I don’t know, plastic—I’m not sure if plastic is non-magnetic, things like that. Because it gets attracted by the magnetosphere, oxygen is in between. It’s barely magnetic, so it’s neither magnetic nor completely non-magnetic, so it’s paramagnetic. But that’s why it’s “whose language could barely understand.” It’s mostly, almost completely non-magnetic, the oxygen, but there’s a tiny bit of pull. The magnets pull the oxygen a tiny bit, just a tiny bit. Anyone can check it with AI: “is oxygen paramagnetic?” and it will tell you, and it will tell you what paramagnetic means. It’s a tiny bit magnetic.

They said—basically the oxygen atoms which are in the atmosphere—”O you with two poles, magnetosphere, fast fires, radiation.” And where the fast fires are placed, particle radiation. By the way, the radiation from the sun comes in two forms: one is in waves, which is let’s say UV rays—I don’t know what type of rays come from the sun, lots of different types of rays, different lengths—and particle radiation, like protons, electrons come from the sun shooting. And if there was no magnetosphere, they would actually reach all the way down to the earth and destroy the atmosphere. First of all, they would just kind of wash away all the atmosphere from the earth gradually, and then they would also destroy us. Those are dangerous radiations, especially the particle radiation, but all types of radiation. Basically, the only safe form of radiation is the one which we see and radio waves partly, but the one which we see is the safest form of radiation, which is the sunray the way we see it with our eyes. Everything we don’t see, including the phone radiation, all of that is a little bit dangerous, but I’m talking about the radio waves. But when it comes to waves with high energy like UV rays, X-rays, those are really dangerous, very dangerous. And particle radiation is even more dangerous, I’m guessing it depends on how much there is.

So yeah, the magnetosphere is supposed to protect us from that. So let’s go back to the verse. They said, “O you with two poles, magnetosphere”—so the oxygen is telling to the magnetosphere. But the magnetosphere protects the oxygen, meaning the atmosphere, from being washed away, being blown away by the sun radiation. Fast fires, in Arabic Gog and Magog, and the place where the fast fires are placed, because where does the radiation come from? The radiation comes from the atoms. That’s where the radiation is placed. So it can come as radiation or as a particle. So the fast fires, meaning radiation, and where the fast fires are placed, particle radiation, are causing damage on earth. And today scientists know that they do damage the earth. If they reach earth, can we give you something so that you can create between us and them a barrier?

The magnetosphere said, “What my lord established me on is better, but help me with strength. I will make between you and between them a barrier. Bring me layers of iron.” As we know, iron came from the cosmos, from up, and it went through the oxygen. And by the way, even in the stars, first it was from hydrogen, it was created into different types of metals, I think carbon and oxygen, and then through silicon, different types of other metals, it became iron. So basically iron was created in the stars, but through oxygen. So oxygen sort of brought the iron, or another way to look at it is that the iron came from space through the oxygen. So basically iron went down, oxygen went up.

“Bring me layers of iron.” Once it filled the gap between—let’s say once it filled the gap between the two barriers that are called in science the Gutenberg discontinuity and Lehmann discontinuity. They should have called them barrier, but they call it discontinuity. What does it mean? Okay, let me explain. So, I hope you guys can see. So, here between the inner core of the earth and the outer core of the earth, we have the Lehmann discontinuity. And here between the outer core and the mantle, we have the Gutenberg discontinuity. That’s basically how scientists know that there is an inner core and an outer core, because when the earthquake waves—or some other types of waves, but mainly earthquake waves—happen, when earthquakes happen, there are waves which spread through the earth. From them, scientists will go in different portions of the earth, different parts of the earth. They never reach down there, so they’ll probably go all the way to the other side of the earth. They have instruments which measure those waves, the waves from earthquakes, and what they noticed—and those waves will pretty much tell them what’s inside the earth with advanced models, of course, not just looking by detecting them—so what they detected is that there’s some discontinuity at this level and at this level, meaning that the waves bounce or they deflect or they go faster or whatever that means. So there’s a discontinuity there, which means there’s a barrier. You can think of it as a barrier where the waves bounce back or deflect or change direction.

So here, these discontinuities, we can call them barriers. Let’s continue reading them, which are down in the earth’s core. So basically now we are learning where the magnetosphere comes from. Where does the earth’s magnetic field come from? It comes from the earth’s core. And let’s see how it happens. So, I’m going to repeat some of the readings so I don’t skip anything. They said, “O you with two poles, magnetosphere, fast fires are radiation and where the fast fires are placed, particle radiation, are causing damage on earth. Can we give you something so that you can create between us and them a barrier?” It said, “What my lord established me on is better, but help me with strength. I will make between you and between them a barrier. Bring me layers of iron.”

Once it filled the gap between—by the way, layers again. In the earth’s core, the iron exists in what they call crystallized form, meaning that all the atoms are layered in exact specific rows. So they are layered in—usually the iron which we find doesn’t have the exact layer in a crystallized core, they are kind of more disordered, but in the core, because of all that pressure, they have to be ordered in order to take minimum space. So they get sort of a perfect order which you can see as layers, either vertical layers or horizontal layers. “Bring me layers of iron.” Once it filled the gap between the two barriers, which we saw what the barriers are, it said, “Blow until it made it fire.” So basically, what is it? Iron which is fire at the same time. We know that the earth’s core is iron, almost all iron and some other heavy metals, but mostly iron, and it’s in fire form because of all that pressure. The pressure heats it. “Bring me so that I can put on it molten metal.” And now we have—see, “bring me so that I can put on it,” meaning on top of it, molten metal, and that’s the outer core. The outer core is liquid metal. The inner core, ironically, someone would think because it’s hotter, it would be actually gas or liquid, but it’s actually solid. It’s even hotter, but it’s solid. That’s why they are distinguished. The inner core is solid metal. The outer core is liquid metal. And the difference between these two, as the outer core which is liquid rotates around the solid one, sort of moves—imagine them like rivers moving around it—that’s where the magnetic field comes from. That’s where the protection from radiation in the end comes from. Isn’t it interesting, at the depths of the earth we get our protection from the radiation from the sky?

Then it said, “Bring me layers of fire. Once it filled the gap between the two barriers, it said, ‘Blow until it made it fire. Bring me so that I can put on it molten metal.'” This is the outer core. Thus they, the radiation, could not go over it or penetrate it. We can understand this two ways: either it cannot go through the earth’s core, or it cannot go through the magnetosphere, because now the earth’s core is helping maintain the magnetosphere, and the magnetosphere is protecting us from radiation.

It said, “This is mercy from my lord, but when the promise of my lord comes, he will cause it to crumble. The promise of my lord is inevitable.” At that time, we will let them, the two types of radiation, invade with one another. Then the horn will be blown. Maybe invade here—I think in Arabic it also says goes on top of each other because they are waves. We’ll let them go on top or through each other. The literal meaning in Arabic is wave, kind of like the wave goes on top. Go on top or through each other. Then the horn will be blown and we will summon them all together to create life again. We will present hell on the day to whose eyes were too blind to see my message, nor could they hear. So basically, again, in this case we can understand it as the magnetosphere which has two poles, two horns. Let’s repent.

Praise be to God. There is no other God except God.

I think what’s more important than what we’ve spoken so far in the last three days is to understand that all those meanings are correct. Honestly, it’s not that important that we’re talking about the magnetosphere or the DNA because all of them fit with those verses of the Quran, or Cyrus the Great. What’s more important is that—let me say the verse first and then understand why it’s important. In the Quran, there’s a verse which says that the Quran has single-meaning verses, straightforward verses, and multiple-meaning verses. Those who believe, they say all the meanings come from God. As for those who disbelieve, they will try to choose one specific meaning.

Basically, what’s important, the most important part is that we don’t say, “Oh, it’s DNA and nothing else.” Well, if it meant DNA and nothing else, God would say DNA. God would be straightforward. Or let’s say it’s legs and nothing else. Well, if God wanted to say legs, he would say legs. Legs are mentioned in the Quran. He didn’t use that word here. If God wanted to tell us legs, he would tell us legs. But here it’s a multiple-meaning verse. The one with two horns, which means many things, which means that we should be open-minded. And that’s what a believer is with multiple-meaning verses. So basically, believers are more open-minded with multiple-meaning verses. They say, “Okay, this meaning seems true, that also seems true. This seems a bit more true.” So all of them are correct. Now, not every—of course, the one with two horns doesn’t talk about legs because legs are mentioned in the Quran and they are specified what they are, but it does mean it does have more than one meaning. We sort of spoke about three meanings so far.

And probably even more important than that is that we never fight over these, and especially especially when someone finds something themselves, if you’ve thought of this yourself. So, last time, kind of I helped a lot, but whatever. Last time when I asked you guys to guess, I think Adam guessed that it sort of had to do with chromosomes or whatever, the DNA. By the way, it was not a coincidence that he guessed it. I think Adam, just so you guys know, he studied in—is it Harvard or Oxford? Adam, can you tell us where you studied? Oxford or Harvard? Which one was it? Oh, Cambridge. Okay, sorry, Cambridge. One of those. One of those. Okay. So yeah, I don’t think it’s a coincidence that he found it. We have nerds in our community who know this stuff. Anyway, I’m joking, Adam. I’m joking. So yeah, I think it’s good that he found it.

What I’m saying is, especially when someone finds it themselves—let’s say if you read something in the Quran and you’re like, “Oh, wait a minute. This could be DNA, or this could be that, or this could be that”—what happens is your opinion looks so much more in a better fit, a better opinion than the others. And then it can close your mind to other things. So it’s dangerous. It can close your mind to the idea that maybe it’s something else as well. And unfortunately, a lot of communities, including let’s say the Sunnis and the Shias, because Muhammad might have told them one meaning. So let’s say someone said, “Oh, what does this verse mean here? What does the middle prayer mean, for example?” and Muhammad probably said Asr, like the afternoon prayer. So now they are stuck into it because that’s the first thing they knew. That’s the only way they want to understand it. The middle prayer in the Quran means more than one thing. It means the afternoon prayer if you measure it from let’s say from the first prayer when you wake up: dawn, noon, afternoon, that’s the middle prayer. Or it can also be—I think it’s more accurate, but both of them are correct—is the noon prayer, because the Quran mentions the night and the day, the night comes before the day, so the first should be the night prayer, then the dawn prayer, then the noon prayer. So now the middle prayer is the noon prayer. And both of them, by the way, are correct, and you can reach the conclusion about the five prayers, or four, or three, whatever is the situation in your location, with both understandings. You can reach the correct conclusion. That’s why God kind of mentioned it as the middle prayer.

And unfortunately, even let’s say the Quranists or whatever different communities, they only stick to one understanding. They just don’t want to change. It’s ideology rather than belief. When you just stick to one understanding, it’s ideology, it’s dogma. It’s not really belief. And this applies to verses with multiple meanings. When it comes to verses with one single meaning, which are the straightforward verses, of course we don’t keep our mind open to, “Oh, maybe this, maybe that.” There’s, for example, we know that there is only one god. There’s no other god except god. We’re not open to, “Oh, maybe there’s some half gods, maybe maybe Jesus is god, maybe he’s not.” We are not open to those ideas because it’s straightforward. The Quran is straightforward about that. But there are other things like, if you didn’t ask them probably they would, or if we didn’t inform them about this they would probably never know. So it’s soft information. It’s information which has multiple meanings, and especially because it’s multiple meanings, that means that God put many meanings into one. So when you tell them one of the meanings, it’s never fully convincing. It’s quite convincing, but it’s never fully convincing because it’s only part of the meaning.

Do you see the point? Like especially because it is multiple meanings, when I say Dhul-Qarnayn is Cyrus the Great, of course it’s not going to be 100% convincing. I know that. But it’s true. However, it’s not 100% convincing because it’s not 100% of the truth. It’s just whatever—if you whatever I don’t know divided by 7, 12% whatever it is, 15% I have no idea, 15% maybe, something percent of the truth. So you’re just telling them part of the truth. Of course, it’s not going to be absolutely convincing. And by the way, for those who insist on only understanding one specific meaning, one specific way of understanding those verses or any other multiple-meaning verses, what they are actually doing is they are rejecting most of the Quran when it comes to those verses. Because let’s say you understood 1/7th of the Quran for those verses and you reject all the other meanings, what are you doing? You’re rejecting most of the Quran. And then there’s a verse in the Quran which says that the disbelievers are those who accept the Quran partially. So they accept part of it, but they reject the other parts. And that’s what people do. By sort of sticking to only one meaning, they accept one part but they reject the other one. And that’s a feature of disbelievers, not a feature of believers. Believers have it clear: straightforward verses, we are not open-minded to other meanings, there’s only one meaning; multiple-meaning verses, we are open to more than one meaning so that we can accept all the Quran, not only a part of the Quran. Someone might say, “Oh, which verses are multiple meaning verses, which are single meaning?” whatever, God willing I’ll make a video about it, but also it’s kind of very natural. You cannot understand if the Quran says the one with two horns, it’s not easy to understand, it probably has more than one meaning. God didn’t make it vague on purpose so that you don’t understand, it was because—anyway.

Does anyone have any questions? And let’s keep it short.

So, Fazal is saying, “Is 18:88 a prophecy of some sort? How does it attract believers only?” I’ll have to think about it. But where is 18:88? “As for those who believe, basically get attracted, and did good, for them is a good reward.” We are talking here about atoms, not really believers in this way of understanding it. It says, “how does it attract believers only?” So here we’re talking about—think of them as atoms, not humans, because all of these are the communities, are communities of atoms, not communities of humans. Does that answer your question? Okay, so yeah, it does answer your question. Anyway, because the whole time you were talking about atoms as communities or molecules, however you want to understand them.

One more question. I think Jad is about to ask something or say something, and then we’ll finish. Just traveling. So the Quran does mention the word community, but the word community doesn’t say community of people, any type of group of things. There’s a community of birds mentioned in the Quran, different communities.

So Jad is saying, “When understanding a specific meaning of a verse, should the rest of the Quran be translated to be related to that meaning, or it doesn’t need to be?” Okay, I would say yes. Generally yes. The answer is generally yes. That’s why we have to have many, many versions of the Quran translated, God willing. We don’t have to because we don’t have to understand the multiple meaning verses absolutely completely, but the more the better. That’s why, God willing, we’ll have many translations of the Quran. God willing, I’ll make more than one translation of the Quran. We’ve already done some surahs because then now if we understand it in this meaning, as you can see, if we think of the communities as atoms rather than people, then we have to translate the next verse in a way where it makes sense, where we would have to say it or instead of he and things like that. So yeah, generally yes. In some cases, it might be the same—let’s say verses can fit, the same way of translating it can fit for both cases. So it depends, but for most cases, yes.

Okay, we have to go now. Sorry guys, because I don’t want to delay—whatever question you have, maybe we can talk another day. Because I’ve been holding very long Friday sermons recently, I want to sort of try to stick to approximately half an hour.

Okay. So, for those who have to do the contact prayer, do the contact prayer. The rest of you, peace be upon you.

 

Friday Sermon by: Alban Fejza, Online Congregation Director

 

I praise God. Praise be to God; there is no other god except God.

In the last Friday sermon, I spoke about Dhul Qarnayn, and we concluded that Dhul Qarnayn was Cyrus the Great—I think he is also called Cyrus II. We concluded that from the Bible and pretty much from the Quran as well, a little bit. We used the Quran as a framework, and then we found the details in the Bible.

Just a second, someone is saying they cannot access the site in Turkey or something. You can go to YouTube, I guess. If you cannot access it on The Submitters, you can go straight to YouTube Live. You just go to the channel, The Submitters, on YouTube, and then it should be there as a live video. I am just going to wait a little bit to see if it gets solved. Okay, thanks, Faisal. Faisal sent the link. I don’t know if they are going to see the link if they don’t have access to the site, but anyway, someone might help them somehow with other chats.

It is important to actually be in this chat for most of you because I might make this a little bit more interactive this time, mostly because I am actually not fully ready for this sermon. Maybe you can help; we can discover it as we go, sort of.

Let me go back to the topic. The topic is: who was Dhul Qarnayn? Dhul Qarnayn is mentioned in the Quran. It means “the one with the two horns,” and we concluded that it was Cyrus the Great, one of the people who helped the Jews. He traveled on one side of the earth, on the other side of the earth, then another side. We know that.

According to Arabic, but many other languages as well, when God says “he”—even in Albanian—it does not automatically mean a gender like a male. Sometimes in a lot of languages, actually in most languages except for English and a few others, “he” is used for objects as well. For example, in Albanian, the TV is a “he” and the microwave is a “she.” I don’t know how they came up with this, but it is just grammar. That is why in the Quran, when God says “he,” it does not automatically mean that He has male organs; it just means “it.” Those two languages have only two genders, and those genders are sometimes used for objects as well, for things. In Albanian, for example, a mountain, mali, is a “he,” while a hill is a “she.” We can go deep into the psychology of why people decided to call some objects “he” and some objects “she.” Psychologically, I think it has to do with the fact that things which do things to others are usually called “he”—kind of like the more dominant things which act on others. Things to whom things are done are usually perceived as female, psychologically, and that is why they use those different genders. Let’s say a river in Albanian is a “he,” lumi, because it can do things to you. But a tool, you do things to it, so it is a “she.” A stick in Albanian is a “she.” This is also in Arabic, sort of; it uses those gendered nouns for things, as do most languages. What that means is that when God says “he” about it, it does not necessarily mean it is a human male. First of all, it never says it is a human. Second of all, when it says “he,” we can literally translate it as “it” in English as well. God willing, when I read the translation, I can use the word “it” as well, because, again, we haven’t concluded necessarily that it is always talking about a human.

How do we know it is not necessarily talking about a human? First of all, why would God tell us about Dhul Qarnayn, the one with two horns who is Cyrus the Great, and not just say Cyrus the Great? God could have just said Cyrus the Great. People knew the name of Cyrus during that time, in whatever the Iranian or Arabic version was; they knew the name. God could have just used his name, but God didn’t. The reason for that is because the Quran is revealed for all times, and therefore, for our times, we can learn more from those verses, not just about Cyrus the Great. We learned the history of Cyrus the Great, but at the same time, using the same language which the Quran uses, we can conclude other things. At the end of the day, Cyrus the Great doesn’t really concern us; he was important for the Jews, for the believers of that time, for the Children of Israel of that time. He was important for that, but he is not really important for us. Do we even care if Cyrus the Great existed or not? Yeah, we know who he is, but it doesn’t matter to us much. That is why God uses double meanings, many meanings, in those verses. Those verses which mention the one with two horns have many meanings. The one with two horns has many meanings: some meanings refer to the past, and other meanings refer to our time so we can understand other things.

Let’s try to find out together what the one with two horns is. Before we find out what it is, first of all, let’s define what a horn is. What is a horn? I am going to share the screen. Okay, I am sharing the screen. Here I searched for “horns of ram twisted.” This is a horn; these are two horns. Let’s search for maybe “horns of bulls”—again, two horns. Or let’s just say “horns of different animals.” Where can we find a collection? How about here? I don’t know if I can make this larger; it’s on Facebook. But you guys get the idea. I am going to make this larger. These are horns. What do they have in common? What do they have in common? Let’s define what a horn is. A horn, first of all—what can we conclude? They always come in two. A horn comes in two, so horns are two… I don’t want to use the word “pairs” because it is a repetition, but maybe I have to use it in English, I guess: two pairs, or a pair, let’s just say two. But what are they made of, by the way? They are made of organic material. All horns are made of some specific stuff. Also, they usually have bones inside, so that is organic material. So, two organic materials which mirror each other, meaning that, as we can see, the left horn is always almost the same—not exactly the same, but almost the same—as the right one. We can say they mirror each other. So far, we have defined it this much: horns are two organic materials which mirror each other, useful for living creatures.

What are they useful for? What is the function of the horns? Biologists—the people who study these things—I don’t think they have fully reached a conclusion. They have reached a conclusion for the most part, but let me explain. I don’t think they fully understood the depth of why animals have horns, why some animals have horns and others don’t. If you ask a lot of them, they will either say sexual selection, meaning that they are used to show the females which male is stronger or has more protective strength, or they say to protect against predators. For example, the horns of the bull might be used to protect against predators. Guys, can you please not chat about other things during the Friday sermon? I am just going to delete the messages which have nothing to do with the topic. I am deleting them, and please delete each other’s if it has nothing to do with the topic. Just delete it unless it is helping with the Friday sermon, to listen to the Friday sermon. Feel free to delete each other’s topics. Believers listen; only one believer speaks at a time, we don’t speak over each other.

Again, we are trying to define what horns are. Horns are two organic materials—I’m defining it right now as we go. Horns are two organic materials which mirror each other, useful… I’m just going to put a comma here… useful for living creatures to do what? This is what I want to explain. If horns were only for protection—let’s say if the bull used the horns only for protection—it would be easier for the bull to invest all that energy which goes into growing new horns, because it takes energy to grow them, and it also takes energy to have them because they are heavy, so it is going to take lots of energy. It would be better for the bull to actually just use that energy for strength to run away. It would be much better for the bull to run away from the wolf than to actually fight it. Then why does the bull, why do some creatures have horns and others don’t? A rabbit, for example, a rabbit doesn’t have horns. When a wolf chases a rabbit, what does the rabbit do? It runs. It invested all its energy into having fast muscles, and it is going to run away. But the bull doesn’t do that, or it might try to run away, but it also has horns. Why do some creatures have horns? The reason is to protect their offspring. Basically, what they use the horns for… because the bull can run away, but if the bull has a pregnant mate, let’s say a cow, and if a cow is pregnant, the cow cannot run away. If the bull runs away when the wolf comes, the wolf is going to eat the cow. When she is pregnant, she cannot run. If she has just given birth, the calf—the young cow or the young bull—cannot run either. It cannot run as fast. It can run a little bit, but not as fast. So, there is a period of time when the offspring of the bull, which could be inside the pregnant mother or just very young, is vulnerable. During that time, the best thing for the bull to do is to fight the wolf. In this way, it protects the offspring, the child, rather than running. If the bull runs, the child is going to be eaten.

What we have concluded is that the horns are useful for the protection of the offspring. The bull doesn’t need the horns for itself, because rabbits, which don’t have horns, have small offspring that can hide in holes and dens, so they don’t need horns. Other creatures can run, or they don’t have vulnerable times. I am talking about mammals which have vulnerable times, like cows or sheep. I think sheep produce only once a year, and it might be during that time when the wolves will try to eat the lambs. The ram technically has the horns mostly to protect the lamb, not for himself. Himself, he could have run; it would be better for the ram, the male sheep, to run from the wolf than to try to fight it. The only reason why he chooses to fight it is because he is trying to protect the lamb and the female partner. The horns are two organic materials which mirror each other, useful for living creatures to ensure the continuation of their offspring, basically their children. I don’t know if the word “children” can be used for animals—to ensure the continuation of their offspring.

This is the time, actually, when I want you guys to chat. When I ask, I want you to chat. Now, can someone tell me—let’s see who finds it first—what else fits this definition? Let’s delete the word “horns” because we have the definition now. This is the definition of horns. I am going to put a blank here. This is the definition. Can we fill in the blank here with something else? What are two organic materials… “mitosis,” okay, close enough. What are two organic materials which mirror each other, useful for living creatures to ensure the continuation of their offspring? I think you guys can get it. No, not legs; legs are not to ensure the continuation of the offspring. Legs are to ensure the continuation of you; legs are for you. What passes from the parent to the offspring? “Male and female,” no. Adam Fraser is saying “chromosomes.” Very close, Adam. What are they made of? Chromosomes, genomes, yes. Trevor said “genomes,” Adam said “chromosomes.” I think Adam got it first, and then Trevor a little bit. What I want to say is DNA.

Maybe I should have divided it more. Horns are two organic materials of helical shape, shaped like helixes, shaped like a helix. We saw the shapes of the horns; they are shaped like a helix, and they mirror each other. So, it’s the DNA we’re talking about. The two horns—it’s talking about the DNA, because the DNA… let’s go to the DNA shape. Look at the shape of DNA. It’s like two horns: one horn and then another horn, and they mirror each other. Technically, these are all microscopic two horns, two horns which are very small. That’s what the DNA is: two horns.

How I came to discover this is because, years ago, I remembered that in my biology class in the US, in my fourth year in high school—biology was never actually my favorite subject—but I do remember the teacher showing us something about how they discovered the DNA. I think it was a photo of DNA, this photo. I was amazed at how they found it out, because it’s not actually about biology; it’s more about math and physics. This is the photo which a woman scientist took; it’s called Photo 51. Basically, it’s just X-rays passing through what is supposed to be DNA. This is Photo 51. There are many other photos which don’t necessarily have this shape, but this one was interesting because it was from a specific angle which showed this shape. Including all the other photos and all the other shapes, the people who discovered that DNA is a double helix used really advanced math and a real-life model to try to figure out which shape would give this shade, because this is technically just a shade through crystals. I don’t know exactly what the method is, but basically, this is an X-ray. They had to imagine, using math as well, what shape would be the cause, because with X-rays we only see the shadow, a 2D shadow. Imagine that this is the shadow of the DNA. They discovered it without ever having seen it; they had never seen it, they had never taken a photo of the DNA, but through this shadow and other shadows from other angles, they managed to discover that only a double helix—a helix is this twisting thing—only a double helix will create that shadow. That’s amazing. That’s why I remembered it, because it had to do with math. I was like, “Wow, they must have been geniuses.” They discovered from the shade what the shape of the DNA is.

What I mostly remembered is not just DNA, but that it is called a double helix. Technically, DNA is a double helix; that’s the informal name, double helix. It means two twisted shapes, which is pretty much two horns, because horns are helixes; horns are twisted shapes. We saw how horns look; they look like twisted shapes. Basically, we can replace the words “two horns” in the Quran with the words “double helix,” because it’s the same thing: two horns, double helix. Let’s see what we have. Once we do that, we realize that the Quran is actually telling us the story of the DNA, the story of the double helix.

Before we do that, God willing, we’ll read the story of Dhul Qarnayn again, but instead of thinking of him as Cyrus the Great, we’ll think of it as the double helix. God willing, in one of the future translations, instead of saying “two horns,” it will say “double helix,” meaning two twisted shapes which are horns—a horn is a twisted shape—and which mirror each other, of course. Before we do that, let’s first of all repent.

Praise be to God; there is no other god except God. Let’s read the Quran now. Let’s go to the Quran, and instead of saying “two horns,” which is the literal meaning… oh, by the way, it makes sense. That’s why in the Quran, when we go to the Quran glossary, Surah 18, verse 83, I think that’s where it’s mentioned. It says, “They ask you about Dhul Qarnayn.” If I click here on Qarnayn, it means horn, but it also means generations. By the way, the word “generation” has the same root word as “genes.” “Generations” is just like “gene”; it’s the same word in English. Generations means the next offspring, and the next offspring, and the next offspring. It’s the same word in English: genes and generations come from the same word. The root word is also telling us that it’s talking about genes, not only about horns, but also about genes which pass on from generation to generation. That’s what genes do: they pass from generation to generation. It’s pretty much the only thing which passes from one generation to another generation. All the other materials in the human body, or the body of living things, are different, but the genes pass from one generation to another.

Now let’s read this surah knowing that we are talking about the double helix, which also means genes. Let’s read the whole section and try to understand, actually for the first time, what it can teach us. Most of it is already discovered, but it can teach us the journey of the DNA. Let’s read that part of the surah with this other understanding. I’m going to go to Surah 18, verse 83. This is how I translated it, and this might be one of the translations for this part of the surah. It says:

“They ask you about the one with the double helix, basically DNA, the one with two horns, the one with two generations, two genes. They ask you about the one with a double helix, DNA. Say, ‘I will tell you something about its history.'”

It is actually telling us the history of the DNA, how the DNA travels from the beginning until the end, because DNA has been here pretty much almost from the beginning of the earth, and it’s going to be here until the end of the earth. It’s telling us the journey of the DNA. Then it says:

“We established and created safety for it on earth and gave it instructions for everything.”

What does the DNA do? It has the instructions for life.

“So it followed the path.”

Of course, DNA traveled from generation to generation throughout history.

“Until it reached the place where the sun disappears.”

Here we’re not talking about the sunset; here we’re talking about when the sun ends at the end of times, when the sun basically gets destroyed.

“It found the sun disappearing in a pupil of black material.”

In Arabic, it means spring, but it also means pupil; it means the part of the eye, the retina, the circular part of the eye. It says, “in a pupil of black material,” which is like the black part of the eye, but this is the same thing which happens in a black hole. A black hole is just a spring where materials go in and they never come back. Why are they the same, the pupil of the eye and a black hole? They have pretty much the same concept because the reason why the pupil, the most central part of our eye, is black is because the light goes in and it never comes back; it gets absorbed by our eye. Then, as a chemical or electrical reaction, it goes into our brain. I don’t know exactly what kind of reaction, but basically, the light disappears there; it gets absorbed in the eye. Just like in a black hole, when the light goes in, it disappears and never comes back out. When light hits our skin, for example, part of it comes back, it goes back. When it hits any part of our body, part of it goes back. But when light hits the black part of our eye, the part which sees, it never comes back. That’s why it’s black. It’s the same thing with black holes, and that’s why the word “spring” is used in the Quran. It says it is setting in a spring of dark mud. When you look at the word “spring” in Arabic, ayn, it also means eye. The root word means eye, spring, eye. The word spring and eye come from the same root in Arabic. The reason is because springs in the desert typically have a circular shape like an eye, and usually, they have some kind of color and a darkness in the middle where it’s deep. That’s why they use the same word. What’s more amazing is that whatever happens in the eye is exactly what happens in black holes: light enters and it never comes back. That’s the most important part.

Now, this is telling us how the sun will end. It says, “until it reaches the place where the sun disappears,” meaning at the end of times, “it found the sun disappearing in a pupil of black material, a black hole.” I explained in the video about the end times that the way the world will end is that all the stars will be put together, and physicists know that when you put a lot of material together—let alone all the stars, but if you just put a million stars together, not even all of them, just a million is enough—they are going to create a black hole. There is so much material in one space that it creates a black hole; it bends space, and then when light enters, it never comes back, which is why it’s dark. That’s why they call them black holes; they should have called them dark holes rather than black holes, anyway, it doesn’t matter.

Basically, it’s telling us that when the DNA reaches the end of time—by the way, this also tells us that there is going to be DNA at the end of time, which means that there will be people, animals, and creatures until the end of time. When they reach that end of time, the Quran says that the stars will be all put together and thrown into hell. As the stars are put together, they will create a black hole. So basically, the sun—and the sun is one of the stars—will end up in a black hole as they are being put together.

Then it says that when the DNA reached the end of history, basically the end of times, it found the sun disappearing in a black hole, and it found a community there, people. We said:

“O you with a double helix, you may either punish or treat them good.”

It said:

“As for the one who wronged, soon we will punish him.”

DNA might be used because the Quran says that that is the day when God will make the skins talk and the fingers talk. DNA might be used, meaning… I don’t know, are the bad people going to be created a bit more ugly? I don’t know how the DNA will be used, but probably they might turn out more ugly. DNA will be like, “Oh, I’m not going to be nice to you this time; how about you’re ugly this time?” You know what I mean. Anyway, it’s going to be used just like the skin will be used, our tongues will be used, our eyes will be used against us if we are disbelievers. If people are disbelievers, their organs will be used against them, and also their DNA.

Then it says:

“It said, ‘As for the one who wronged, soon we will punish him. Then he will be returned to his Lord, and He will punish him with a terrible punishment. As for him who believed and did good, for him is a good reward. We will speak to him from our command gently.'”

“Then it pursued another way.”

The DNA, we are imagining, traveled all the way to the future, and now it’s pursuing another way, all the way to the past.

“Then it pursued another way until it reached the place where the sun became apparent.”

This means the start, the beginning of times. By the way, this is important to explain: what the Quran calls the sun, moon, and stars is the way we perceive them, meaning the 2D shape, not what the astronomers call the sun. When the Quran says “sun,” it means as we see it, meaning the 2D shape. Astronomers call it the sun disc or the moon disc—basically what we see in the sky as a disc, as a ball. That’s why the Quran says the moon becomes like an old, curved sheath; it changes shape. It actually doesn’t happen to the 3D moon; it happens to the 2D moon. It’s like the way we use the word “profile” today. When we say to someone, “Send me a profile,” what we mean is the 2D picture; we don’t mean the full 3D face or 3D body. The actual, real face is us, but when we say profile, we mean the 2D representation of that. In the same way, the Quran speaks to us from our perspective. So when it says sun, moon, and stars, it’s talking about the way we see them. That’s why the sun disappears; the 3D sun doesn’t actually set, it’s still there, but the Quran says that the sun does set, meaning that it’s talking about the 2D appearance, what we see in the sky.

What this means is that when it says “when the sun became apparent,” it’s talking about when the sun became apparent on earth, not when the sun was created. It’s the first time when the sun became apparent on earth. You can sort of see this in the video clarification which has to do with the seven days of creation. There you can see that the sun appeared and disappeared, and things like that, because of the atmosphere. There were gases and things which covered the sun, so it was not fully seen on earth. But here it’s talking about the beginning—not the beginning of the sun, but the first time the sun appeared on top of the DNA.

“The DNA found the sun appearing on a community of cells.”

Of course, because then there were no creatures, just a community of cells.

“For whom we did not create any covering from it.”

In the beginning, when the simple cells were created, there were no complex organisms; it was just separate cells. At that time, before plants existed, there was no oxygen and no protective atmosphere. It’s basically through plants that most of the atmosphere was created, most of the oxygen, which forms the ozone layer that protects from the sun. So they had no protection. Basically, in the beginning, the cells which had the DNA didn’t have much protection from the sun, and this actually tells us a lot because this helped with mutations, meaning that it helped DNA change faster so that things could be created. Once you hit the DNA with sun rays, ultraviolet light, and all types of light when there’s no atmosphere, it creates more mutations. It makes evolution faster and harsher—meaning that some creatures will be created faster, but it’s also going to be harsher on other creatures, and they will die faster.

Let’s go back to reading this part.

“Then it pursued another way until it reached the place where the sun became apparent. It found the sun appearing on a community of cells for whom we did not create any covering from it.”

We know how the situation was from the video clarification where I talk about the seven days of creation.

“Naturally, we encompassed the genetic information with him.”

The Arabic text only says “information”; I added “genetic.” We encompassed the information with it, so basically, God and the angels knew what information was inside the DNA.

“Then it followed another path.”

This is interesting; it tells us a lot about cells.

“Then it followed another path until it arrived between the two barriers.”

The two barriers are the membranes of the nucleus. The nucleus of the cell has two membranes, one on top of the other, and this is interesting because this membrane did not exist in the beginning. Cells did not have nucleuses in the beginning; there was no nucleus. Later on, it created this protective barrier where the DNA is protected, which was not there in the beginning. It’s telling us that at some point, the DNA reached a place where there were nucleus membranes inside the cell.

“He found besides them a community.”

Why a community? Later we’ll see why mitochondria are that community. Mitochondria are just organelles inside the cell. There are about 100 to 2,000 mitochondria in each cell. Since there’s about a thousand mitochondria in each cell, we can call them a community. Then it says:

“Whose language, meaning genetic code, it could barely understand.”

This is what’s amazing, how this shows that it’s really talking about the DNA, because mitochondria are the only part of the cell which has its own DNA. The whole living cell uses the DNA which is found in the nucleus, in the center, but mitochondria have their own DNA. Mitochondria are just small parts in a cell—a community, the Quran calls them—but they have their own DNA. Because it’s different, it’s not exactly the same DNA as the one in the nucleus, it says, “whose language, meaning genetic code, it could barely understand,” meaning that they have their own language. It’s amazing, right? We’ll see why it’s talking about mitochondria, because it fits completely. First of all, they have their own genetic code, meaning their own language, which is not really understood well by the DNA in the nucleus.

“They said…”

The mitochondria said to the double helix, to the DNA, “O you with two horns,” or “O double helix…” They said this to the double helix when they were created at some point in time. Scientists probably know approximately at what time cells started to have mitochondria; they didn’t have mitochondria before, but at some point, they started to have them. The mitochondria said:

“O double helix, the fast fires…”

In the Quran, it says Yajuj and Majuj. In English, they assume that it’s Gog and Magog, but in Arabic, the words Yajuj and Majuj literally mean “fast fire.” It’s really not talking about Gog and Magog necessarily; it’s talking about fast fire. Yajuj means fast fire, and in Arabic, when you add the letter ‘m’ to the beginning of a word, it means the place where that thing exists. For example, sajda is prostration; you add the ‘m’ in the beginning and it becomes masjid, the place of prostration. This happens with a lot of these things; adding the ‘m’ in the beginning creates a place. Probably even Mecca means some kind of place. Basically, Yajuj and Majuj are the fast fires and the place where that fast fire is placed, the place where that fast fire exists.

What is a fast fire inside a cell? It represents enzymes, which speed up chemical reactions. Basically, the enzymes in the cell take chemical reactions which would happen slowly and speed them up. Chemical reactions are the fires, so they speed up the fires. The fast fires mean enzymes, and the place where the fires are placed represents different types of proteins where those enzymes are attached and things like that.

“…are causing corruption on earth.”

These enzymes can also damage the genetic code in the mitochondria. Basically, mitochondria are not protected from that, and the mitochondria are telling the DNA in the nucleus, “Can you protect us from these fast fires, from these enzymes? Can we give you something so that you can create a barrier between us and them?” This tells us that initially, the mitochondria didn’t have any protection, and then we’ll see how DNA created the protection for them.

“It said, ‘What my Lord established me on is better, but help me with energy, O mitochondria.'”

Anyone who really knows this stuff—if we have a biologist here—can tell you that the mitochondrion is where energy is stored. “But help me with energy”—basically, the DNA is telling the mitochondria, “Just help me with the energy.” That’s what mitochondria do: they produce the energy. Then it says:

“I will make between you and between them a barrier. Bring me layers of iron.”

Where is the iron stored in the cell? In the mitochondria. Mitochondria use iron to produce energy.

“Once he filled the gap between the two cliffs…”

These are the membranes of the mitochondria.

“…it said, ‘Blow,’ meaning the oxygen. ‘Once it was fire,’ meaning oxidized.”

In chemistry, “fire” just means oxidized. When chemists say fire, they mean oxidized.

“Once it was fire, oxidized, it said, ‘Bring me copper to pour on it to help with iron metabolism.'”

Basically, copper in the cell—even doctors know this—helps metabolize iron faster or better, and iron is used by the cells to produce energy. These are in our bodies. Basically, the DNA helped structure where the iron is going to be, and it helped the mitochondria with that.

“Thus, the enzymes, they could not go over it or penetrate it.”

Because of these irons and coppers, which help the mitochondria produce energy, and the membranes which surround them, the enzymes which would be damaging to them could not go over it or penetrate it; they couldn’t go and damage the mitochondria. Then the DNA, the one with the double helix, said:

“It said, ‘This is mercy from my Lord, but when the promise of my Lord, programmed cell death, comes…'”

Cells die in two ways. In quite a few verses in the Quran, when it says “the promise of God,” it refers to death. When the promise of God comes, quite often in the Quran—not only about cells but about humans as well—it means death; we can see that in other verses. But here it’s talking about the death of the cell. Cells can die in two ways: one is by accident, like if you damage it—if I pinch my skin here, some cells will die, which is accidental. The other way is programmed, and almost all cells have a programmed death. What it means is that the DNA tells the cell when to die so that the cell can free up space for a new cell. It dies, it gets degraded, it’s chopped up by different molecules in our body, and then it is flushed out. All our cells die pretty much; I don’t know about neurons, you can check it out, it doesn’t matter, they also die in the end when we die. Here it is telling us that the death of the cell has been pre-programmed. It says:

“This is mercy from my Lord, but when the promise of my Lord, programmed cell death, comes, He will cause it to crumble.”

The barrier between the mitochondria and the enzymes is going to crumble, and the enzymes will rush in and destroy everything, meaning that it’s just going to become a mess. That’s pretty much how cells die.

“The prophecy of my Lord is inevitable, pre-programmed.”

“Inevitable” is the word used in the Quran.

“At that time, we will let them, the dangerous chemicals, invade one another.”

The cell is just going to become a bunch of dangerous chemicals invading one another.

“Then the horn will be blown, and we will summon them all together to create life again.”

Basically, those chemicals are going to be reassembled, and then life will be created again.

“We will present hell on that day to the disbelievers. They are the ones whose eyes were too veiled to see my message, nor could they hear.”

The Quran is telling us the story of the double helix, which is the story of the DNA, and all the verses fit. We can learn a lot about the cell: how it was in the beginning, how it will be in the end, and how it was in the middle of what we call evolution. It also sort of confirms partially what scientists know about evolution. Of course, this is a better way to teach evolution because it’s saying that God did it; it’s saying that God did it through DNA, but it’s also not denying that the DNA traveled through all those creatures.

This is another way to understand it. I don’t know if next Friday I might come up with more, because there are two more things the two horns can refer to. Let me just say it quickly. One other thing it can refer to is the DNA of humanoids, meaning Neanderthals and creatures which looked like humans; you can learn a lot from that as well. It also refers to the earth’s magnetic field, the two poles—North Pole and South Pole—the magnetic field of the earth which protects us from the fast fires. Honestly, I think we spent too much time on this; I might talk about it someday, or I might not. Just know that the two horns refer to Cyrus the Great, it refers to the double helix which is the DNA, and it also refers to the magnetic field, the two poles of the earth which protect from the fast fires. Basically, we can translate the whole thing again and use the magnetic poles of the earth and see that it all fits again, and it’s going to tell us a whole new thing. Maybe I can just use that in a translation and you guys can realize what it means. I might not do another Friday sermon with it, or I might, I don’t know, I’ll see, God willing.

Does anyone have any questions? But quick, because it’s almost an hour. It’s kind of hard to explain these long topics in a short time.

Adam Fraser is saying, “Did DNA evolve on Earth or was it created as is?” It pretty much… I wouldn’t call it evolved, but yeah, it did change; let’s call it it did change, yeah. There were mutations. Good that you asked this question because here I translated it as enzymes, but another thing those barriers protect from is radiation from outer space, and that radiation actually has changed the DNA. So yeah, if you use scientific terminology, you can say DNA evolved, but there are really exceptions, though, like humans were created from scratch. Our DNA started pure. The Quran says that the human was created in the best form, then we turned them sort of into monkeys, meaning that there was mixing of humans with Neanderthals and other creatures around the world which were human-shaped. So yeah, it’s confirming most of evolution, but there are so many things which it does not extend to, like the creation of humans. I think that there was intervention in the creation of animals versus plants, so there was a specific intervention there, but most of it was just kind of like evolution, which Rashad calls creation. It’s actually God’s way of creating things, creating the living bodies in this world.

Let me read the questions one by one. Jad is saying the word for misery here can also be translated as dust, i.e., being dark, so maybe yeah, they will be resurrected ugly, yeah, okay, very likely. Faisal is saying, “So when transcription and translation happens, does it count as the barrier being broken?” I don’t know about that. You can think of it like that, but basically, the DNA is passing to another cell. You can say that the barrier is broken, but it’s just passing to another cell. Is the barrier broken necessarily? I don’t know. A biologist will know. I don’t know enough about how the splitting of cells happens, but do they actually die or do they… I think they just split, they don’t die anyway.

Adam is saying, “Thank you for this clear explanation.”

“Bring the iron—is it set by the mitochondria or DNA?” Okay, so I think it’s set by the DNA, sorry. Where is the verse? The DNA says… so basically, the DNA is telling the instructions to the mitochondria, but the mitochondria are doing it. Here in the Quran, it says, “Bring me layers of iron,” so the DNA is telling the mitochondria what to bring. By the way, this is also one interesting thing: it doesn’t say iron, it says layers of iron. This is very interesting because iron on earth always exists as it gets oxidized, what they call iron ores, meaning that iron cannot really exist on earth in a pure form; oxygen always attaches to it. That’s why you see the red rust on the iron unless you split it into layers, and those layers happen naturally on what they call iron crystals, I think. I don’t know exactly, but they do happen in places with lots of pressure. Also, when iron is absorbed in the body, it is not exactly iron; it’s actually created into layered shapes so the oxygen is not allowed to attach to it. I think they have a name; I probably can find it. Let me search it. What is the organelle or whatever which transports iron called? Ferritin or something, I don’t know. I think they have some kind of name like that. Whoever knows biology might know it. It’s kind of like a protective shell around the iron, and it has layers of iron in it, so it protects the iron from being oxidized.

Trevor is saying, “Do you plan on making a video about how Adam was put on Earth?” I guess so, yeah, very likely.

Faisal is saying, “From what I remember, the RNA strand goes in and out of the nucleus, and enzymes help transcribe the genome from the DNA strand. So I was curious how this fits with the verses about the barrier.” Yeah, I thought of that because I said, what if the RNA is actually the one with two horns? But actually, the RNA is just one strand, and it exists so that the DNA doesn’t have to go out of the nucleus. Basically, based on what you’re saying, I think it probably doesn’t mean that the barrier is broken; it’s just that the RNA goes in and out. It’s some sort of messenger which transfers the information from inside the nucleus to outside the nucleus. It doesn’t mean that the barrier of the mitochondria was broken. So I would say this answers your previous question: it’s probably not referring to that. Definitely, it’s not talking about RNA; RNA might be the friend of Dhul Qarnayn, I have no idea. Let’s imagine Dhul Qarnayn was a king, so let’s imagine he has a servant who does part of his job, like helps him do stuff, yeah. Faisal is saying RNA does function as a messenger, true.

Okay, so I have to end it here because it’s almost an hour; it’s actually an hour that we spoke. For those who have to do the contact prayer, do the contact prayer. The rest of you, peace be upon you.
