The Secret of Kaaba



Transcript: 
1.618:
Number of Golden Ratio, mystery of Kaaba, Miracle of Islam and Koran, it is the high time for Divine Secrets, Divine Mysteries.

In this documentary, you will see scientific proofs of unbelievable mysteries that have remained hidden in the Holy City of Mecca for thousand of years with your own eyes. Mecca is willed as direction of kowtow, convention place for billions of Muslims and as the holy center of Islam. Those Muslims, who can afford, are prescribed to arrive go on a journey through Kaaba, Muzdelife and Arafat and to convene in the sacred city.

Phi Constant- 1.618, superior design number of mathematics. The Creator has always used the very same number in numerous events in the universe; in our heart pulses, the aspect ratio of DNA spiral, in the special design of the universe called dodecehadron, in the leaf array rules of plants called phylotaxy, in the snow flake crystals, in the spiral structure of numerous galaxies. The Creator used the same number; the number of golden ratio which is 1.618…

It is determined that this ratio has been used for the design of various reputable architectural structures, even including Pyramids in Egypt. Famous astronomer Kepler defined this number as a great treasury. Numerous famous painters, engineers and architects, like Leonardo Da Vinci, have been using this ratio in their works of art for hundreds of years.

As a result of his 25 years long study, aesthetician Dr. Steven Markout proves that each of human faces and bodies, created pursuant to this ratio, are completely beautiful. If the relative ratio is 1.618 for the components of any structure, then this form will be convenient to Golden Ratio, the perfect design.

So, where is the Golden Ratio Point of the World?

The proportion of distance between Mecca and North Pole to the distance between Mecca and South Pole is exactly 1.618 which is the golden mean. Moreover, the proportion of the distance between South Pole and Mecca to the distance between both poles is again 1.618.

The miracle has not been completed yet; The Golden Ratio Point of the World is in Mecca city according to map of latitude and longitude which is the common determinant of mankind for location.

The proportion of eastern distance to the western distance of Mecca’s solstice line is again 1.618. Moreover, the proportion of the distance from Mecca to the solstice line from the west side and perimeter of world at that latitude is also surprisingly equal to the golden ratio, 1.618. The Golden Ratio Point of the World is always within the city borders of Mecca, within the Holy Region that includes Kaaba according to all mapping systems despite minor kilometrical variations in their estimations.

At home, you can precisely measure the distance between any two points of World by means of Google World’s ruler feature. If you wish, you can easily verify the correctness of the given ratios by calculating latitudes and longitudes or even by using a simple calculator. In drawings, you initially see how to locate start and finish points on Mecca city and North Pole. With respect to positive longitude and latitude values and by taking drift angle to the land, but not to the sea, the single Golden Ratio Point of the World is Mecca.

Phi matrix program is an American program used for displaying golden ratio of pictures and drawings. If we assume the longitude and latitude map of the World as an everlasting painting which has an endless depth, and open it in this program, we will find out that the Golden Ratio Point of the World is the City of Mecca.

Miracles go on…

Golden Ratio Miracle in the Verse, Mecca of Koran.

There is one unique verse in Koran that includes Mecca word and an expression that mentions clear evidences within the city which will grant faith to humanity. The relation between the City of Mecca and the Golden Ratio is clearly engraved in Al-Imran Surah’s (section of Koran) 96th verse. The total number of all letters of this verse is 47. Calculating the golden ratio of total letters, we find out that the word of Mecca is implied; 47 / 1,618 = 29.0. There are 29 letters from the beginning of the verse till the word, Mecca just as in the world map. If only one single word or letter was missing, this ratio could never been constituted. Without pushing the limits, we have conducted the very same process that we conducted on world map and witnessed the glorious coherence of number of letters that reveals the relation of Mecca and Golden Ratio.

All these evidences show that; The Creator of the World and mathematics is the same One and Single God, the indefinable and great force that has created Kaaba, holy region and Koran. He reminds whole humanity that he has granted signs to all humanity on the basis of his foreknowledge about the future and the common languages of humans.

Discoveries regarding the relation between Golden Ratio, Mecca, Kaaba and Koran have been increasing day by day. In the figure, it is indicated that measurements by golden ratio compass that is also known as Leonardo compass, prove that Mecca city is located on the Golden Ratio Point of Arabia while Kaaba is located on the Golden Ratio of Mecca City. According to probability calculations, all these proofs can not be incidental.

Try to survive until Summer, 2009. You will witness to miraculous news in holy books, Golden Ratio Point of the World, great mysteries about Jesus the Christ and Hz. Mohammed (SAV) with their scientific proofs.

This discovery is made by the 3d graphic artist, director who made some works that are world-wide famous, Erdem Çetinkaya. Right now his work of documentary-movie which includes the miracle of Kaaba and the miracles named “Holy Mysteries”.

The Trust Bubble ... Explodes

By Omar Javaid, Sr. Editor, Critic MAGAZINE
Trust is the name of the game, mistrust is the code followed. Today digital currency is the fuel of financial system, and it extracts value from the paper currency (backed by nothing) in circulation. But on the contrary it deems to have the power to purchase anything based on its value derived from the trust in the economy of the nation it belongs to (demand of currency in international market: more economic strength, more demand, and more value). The Economic Strength of the nation? Is only a matter of perception, as proved many time in the history. In present times the economic strength stands over a bubble of debt in the economy. The bubble expands with the ever growing debt, with a fraction of real wealth to back. The ultimate result.... the Bubbles are there to burst, leading to benefit of the few, and disaster for millions. Case in point: sub-prime mortgage crises in America.
Since the time Lehman brothers declared bankruptcy, a plethora of articles with analysis of the entire fiasco, its causes and impacts has been published but probably none (at least I cannot find one) has really disclosed or talked about the real root cause of the entire disaster. When I look at the entire scene, the question that pops in my mind is how a debt of $11 trillion in 'mortgages', alone, is loaned out when there is only $1.3 Trillion of printed notes available? In addition to this Credit card debts, other types of public and private loans mounting to a total of around $50 Trillion, only in American economy? (Total U.S. mortgage debt outstanding was $10.7 trillion at the end of the third quarter 2006. Source: http://www.freeratesearch.com/en/newsroom/mortgage_statistics/)
Out of Thin Air

A common man, uninformed of this jugglery, would eventually ask that how on earth can this ever be possible. The answer is simple but seems like a joke, a nasty one indeed. The Banks creates money out of thin air when they have to loan out to someone? Magic? No! The process they use is called fractional reserve banking and the effect is called Money Multiplier in economics.
"The study of money, above all other fields in economics, is one in which complexity is used to disguise truth or to evade truth, not to reveal it (p15). The process by which banks create money is so simple that the mind is repelled."
John Kenneth Galbraith, Money: Whence it came, where it went - 1975, p29.
This is the most core of the banking business and all the central bank policies are directly or indirectly related with it. Paper Currency is printed in the quantity, desired by Central Bank, is multiplied as it passes through Fractional Reserve Systems of Conventional banks. The CB imposes a Cash Reserve Requirement i.e. CRR is 7 ~ 10% on commercial banks (even Islamic banks) which determines the amount to be loaned out. A CRR of 20% means that a bank can lend 80 rupees if it has a deposit of Rs. 100. The bank in fact transfer this amount to the borrowers bank account, i.e. the same bank (or any other bank) receives it, again make it a part of the deposits (of the banking system) ready to be loaned again. The cycle continues and the money printed or minted by central bank is multiplied many times in the form of loans and the commercial bank expects it back with interest.
No surprise the amount of debt (increasing every year) is more or less the same as the amount of time and demand deposit (demand deposits are saving and current accounts, and time deposits are long term deposits which are not withdrawn at least for one year) during the same period. Thus money is created continuously as debt in the economy. Today in US economy, only 3% is real money and the remaining is just ... Numbers!!! Same is the case with UK. In Pakistan the cash in circulation is Rs. 982 Billion, which is around 21% of the total Money supply (Rs. 4,672 Billion) and 21.6% of total domestic credit (Rs. 4,531 Billion).  These statistics has been taken from http://www.sbp.org.pk/reports/stat_reviews/Bulletin/2008/Sep_08/Money_and_Credit.pdf.
Murray N. Rothbard states in his article “The Case for a 100 Percent Gold Dollar” (http://mises.org/story/1829#_ftn19): In my view, issuing promises to pay on demand in excess of the amount of goods on hand is simply fraud, and should be so considered by the legal system. For this means that a bank issues “fake” warehouse receipts—warehouse receipts, for example, for ounces of gold that do not actually exist in the vaults. This is legalized counterfeiting; this is the creation of money without the necessity for production, to compete for resources against those who have produced. In short, I believe that fractional-reserve banking is disastrous both for the morality and for the fundamental bases and institutions of the market economy.

The Silent Majority: AND THE EXTREMISTS WITHIN

OPEN Floor

The Silent Majority AND THE EXTREMISTS WITHIN

by Farhan Noor, Editor Critic Magazine

 Pakistan is standing at crossroads. There is a freedom struggle going on in Balochistan, war in Northern and Tribal Areas between the Taliban forces and the Pak Army amidst all this energy crisis, water crisis, and political crisis. Some fear a repeat of ’71 is inevitable. U.S. is threatening a unilateral strike in the North which can easily escalate and spread across the country. The future remains uncertain. We—the Silent Majority—are the ones who are actually paying the price (with our lives, interest rates, inflation, fear of uncertainty etc). Perhaps it is about time we start thinking about matters other than just our families and our careers—after all, Pakistan is in need of help. But this begs the question: what exactly is or should be our role in this entire drama? Or should we just do what we do the best: be silent and spectate and wait for things to settle down and resolve by itself?

Fast Food For Thoughts:

1. The demands of religious extremists are not only religiously correct but also constitutionally legal! What makes it even more interesting is the fact that these people are not after power or for money but are instead only fighting for the establishment of Shariah in Pakistan, something which is hardly objectionable. Their demands for elimination of Riba, Gambling, Drugs, shutting down of Brothels and end to Prostitution, ban on sale of Alcohol, and destruction of all Pornographic Material is again NOT ONLY religiously correct, constitutionally legal, but also socio-economically beneficial. However, their actions—of militancy and suicide bombing—are greatly condemnable and outright abhorrent which cannot be justified under any pretext or pretension. Little is wonder why they find no public support even though their demands are valid.

 

2. On the other hand, the secular extremists feel that the European and American secular laws must replace the now “outdated” Shariah. For them, Islam is just not good enough. Therefore, even though these people claim to be moderates and loyal to Islam, they have no intentions on eliminating Riba, Gambling, Drugs, to shut down Brothels and end Prostitution, ban sale of Alcohol, and censor the prevailing Vulgarity and Obscenity in electronic media today let alone porn! Little is wonder why the Hudood Ordinance was abolished but the Heera Mandi continues to thrive on. Both their demands (secularization of Pakistan) and their actions (see Table A) are clearly unconstitutional and illegal. They are bent on changing the ideology of Pakistan and on adulterating the essence of Islam in the name of “modernization” while in blatant pursuit of power and wealth—and this to me is really the greatest and the worst form of extremism.

 

3. Clearly—both extremist factions (religious and secular)—are detrimental to the health of our country. One (religious extremists) are terrorizing innocent people and disturbing the peace of the society while the other (secular extremists) are systematically and categorically secularizing Pakistan from the top to the bottom through the tools of Education and Media. Both must be condemned and rejected. This leaves us—the silent majority—to do something now for the country to save it from spiraling down into a civil war or becoming another victim of war of terrorism by the U.S. But first we must clearly understand how the International Media have grouped the extremists and the moderates into one category and declared the secularists as the moderates. This can easily be done if we only differentiate between people based on what they believe in and not with what label or construct (Talibanization, Mullahism, etc) they have been stereotyped with. For e.g.: what we see secularism as something ‘modern’ and ‘enlightened’ and ‘progressive’ is but another form of extremism and nothing else, and this what we must see through now.

 

4. The most important thing that we—the Silent Majority—should do is to take a stance and stop being hypocritically neutral. This continuing silence and passivity and more annoyingly, this gross ignorance of current affairs, and lack of passion and interest in the desire for change is harmful not only to ourselves but also for the country. Unless we citizens participate or at least seek to participate in decision-making activities of the socio-economic and political policies of the country, the country will forever remain weak and unstable and a soft target for our enemies both from within and from the without.
