Ramadan: The month of the Qur’an

From: www.islamicity.com

By Dr. Mozammel Haque

Allah says that the Last Revelation of His was sent down in the month of Ramadan on the Night of Power Lailatul Qadr. (Qur’an, 91:1-3.) It is the month of Ramadan that Allah has honoured it by revealing the Qur’an. Because of this strong relation between the Qur’an and the month of Ramadan, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to read the Qur’an to Archangel Jibreel every Ramadan.

Therefore it is the right place to discuss the purpose and objective of the revelation of the Qur’an, its importance, the various hostile campaigns against it and the do’s and don’ts of the Qur’an.First of all, Allah the Most High, created man and gave him the gift of expression. For the guidance of mankind Allah sent Prophets to every single community.

It is stated in the Qur’an, which means that there has been no community to which God’s Messengers have not come and that Muslims should make no distinction between Allah’s Messengers. So it is the duty of a Muslim to honour all the Prophets equally.The Qur’an represents the culmination of all earlier Revealed Books. It is the last of the Revealed Books sent down by Allah for the guidance of mankind.

The Qur’an is the only scripture, which requires the belief in other revelations, as part of the Islamic Faith. This Sacred Book was revealed to the last Messenger, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in the month of Ramadan as Allah Himself said in the Qur’an: “Ramadan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur’an, as a guide to mankind, also clear (signs) for guidance and judgment (between right and wrong).” (2:185) Allah the Most High has especially mentioned the exact date and month of the revelation: “We have indeed revealed this (Message) in the Night of Power.” (97:1)

So the purpose of the revelation of the Qur’an was to provide true guidance to mankind.The Qur’an is emphatic in proclaiming that Islam is the religion of all Prophets: the religion of Abraham, Moses and Jesus (peace be upon him). It stresses that Prophets Moses, Jesus and all others were not Jews but Muslims. “Surely those who believe (in that which is revealed to Muhammad (peace be upon him) and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabaeans – whoever believes in Allah, and the Last Day and does good, surely their reward is with their Lord, and there is no fear for them nor shall they grieve.” (2:62). “A Guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and judgement (between right and wrong),” is the most important characteristic of the Qur’an, the Book that Allah has revealed to His last Messenger to serve as the only Book of man’s guidance till the Day of Judgment.

It is guidance for mankind having clear proof of judgement between right and wrong in all matters of human life.Before the revelation of the Qur’an, it was preserved and guarded from every kind of corruption in the “Mother of the Book.” Allah Himself said: “Nay this is a Glorious Qur’an (inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved” (85:21-22). When Allah wanted to give this Trust to someone, the heavens, the earth, and the mountains, i.e. other creatures of Allah, besides man, shirked from shouldering this Trust or responsibility.

They preferred to submit their will entirely to Allah’s Will, which is All-Wise and Perfect, and which would give them far more happiness than a faculty of choice, with their imperfect knowledge. Allah says in the Qur’an: “We did indeed offer the Trust to the heavens and the earth and the mountains; but they declined to bear it, being afraid thereof: but man undertook it: He was indeed unjust and ignorant of its results.” (33-72).So it was the man who took the responsibility of the Trust without realizing its importance and consequences. The Qur’an is the revealed book of God which has been in existence for more than 14 hundred years and the Word of Allah is preserved in its original form.

There has not been an iota of change in this unique Divine revelation. Its originality and authenticity has been guaranteed by no other than Allah the Almighty who challenges in the Qur’an itself on various occasions.Allah said, “This Qur’an is not such as can be produced by other than Allah: on the contrary it is a confirmation of (revelation) that went before it, and a fuller explanation of the Book - wherein there is no doubt – from the Lord of the Worlds.” (Qur’an, 10:37).

In another verse of the Qur’an Allah challenges, “Or do they say, “He forged it?” Say: “Bring then a Surah like unto it; and call (to your aid) anyone who can, beside Allah if it be you speak the truth!” (Qur’an,10:38) “Or they may say, “He forged it.” Say, “Bring you then ten Suras forged, like unto it, and call (to your aid) whomsoever you can, other than Allah! – if you speak the truth!” (Qur’an,11:13)Allah said in the Qur’an, “And if you are in doubt as to what We have revealed from time to time to Our servant then produce a Sura like thereunto, and call your witnesses and helpers (if there are any) besides Allah, if your are truthful.” (Qur’an, 2:23)

People in every age have been challenged to produce a Book like it and they were unable to produce one. It is the only Revealed Book whose text stands pure and uncorrupted today. Allah said, “Say: “if the whole of mankind and jinns were to gather together to produce the like of this Qur’an, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they backed up each other with help and support.” (Qur’an, 17:88)

Since the revelation of the Qur’an, the enemies of Islam have been trying to distort its life-giving messages. Firstly, they said, it is not Allah’s revelation, it has been dictated to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) by someone. Then they started attacking its authenticity and originality. In spite of their conspiracies, the Qur’an has been preserved in its original form.The Qur’an is the only Divine revelation which has remained for the past 14 centuries uncorrupted and pure without any human interpolation or change and will remain so till the Last Day as Allah has guaranteed its purity. (Qur’an,15:9).

The purity, preservation and propagation of the Qur’an was maintained by two methods: memorization of the Qur’an in the Qur’anic schools and the recitation of the complete Qur’an in Ramadan. In the month of Ramadan every year the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) would Qur’an with Archangel Jibreel. Abu Huraira reported that the Prophet used to repeat the recitation of the Qur’an with Jibreel once a year, but he repeated it twice with him in the year the Prophet (peace be upon him) died. The Qur’an was recited in the Taraweeh for the first time during the era of Caliph Omar (may Allah be pleased with him).Though many Huffaz and Islamic scholars were killed in the different parts of the world at different times, still there is no dearth of Islamic scholars who can recite the complete Qur’an from memory.

Severe campaigns have been launched against the Qur’anic schools, which teach the study, recitation and memorization of the Qur’an. The Qur’an is the main Book of the Muslims and it is the duty of the Muslims to learn the Qur’an, which contains their code of life and ethical values whose benefits have been experienced by mankind throughout the ages.We have discussed the objectives and importance of the Qur’an and how its originality and purity have been maintained.

Our Prophet (peace be upon him) and his Companions dedicated their whole lives to the worship of Allah. Their lives revolved completely around the Book of Allah, the Qur’an, reciting it in and out of Salah.The Qur’an is the basis of the religion of Islam, and on the preservation and propagation of Allah’s Book depends the very existence of this Faith. Hence the virtues of learning and teaching the Qur’an are self-evident and do not need further elucidation. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “The best amongst you is he who learns the Qur’an and teaches it.” (Bukhari, Daud and Tirmidhi).

The Muslims United Party.

By: Maged Taman

I am suggesting this party as a political party that can exist in every Arab and Muslim country. Though I do not believe in the party system winning election allow us to prepare the Muslim countries for the second coming of Jesus. This party would declare its principals as follows:

1- We are the third alternative to the tyrannical parties in the Muslim world and the extremists agenda.

2- Since the way to government is supposedly through elections we will do it this way and let see if the west will stand for free elections. We will have the political power to impose early elections.
3- We are honestly declaring that if we win elections and govern we will cancel the party system with a consultation system that will allow a real democracy and the sharing of people in governing themselves. We will get rid of the feud and special interest of the party system.

4- The best to control us is real free and responsible media another party will do the same like everywhere he will love the country to fail so they can win the next election.

5- We are abiding by all the principals of human rights and dignity.

6- Though we invite the world to a new world order there is no obligation we as Muslims will try to have one Muslim government or loosely attached governments. I think the west should respect our desire. If they to stand against that it will be a clear oppression from them.

7- We will be friends to all countries we will not be starting troubles to the world. We are likely to solve troubles.

8- Minority groups in all Muslim countries are invited to participate in our party. We do not have a secret agenda but justice, peace and prosperity for all of us Non-Muslims and Muslims.

9- We will not be hostile to the west or Israel and will be pragmatic. We will answer disputes through dialogue and politics.

10- Although a lot Muslim organizations look sound they do not reach out to all people. We will include them under our banner and not vice verse.

11- Extremists would not participate in our parties and we are not interested in cooperation.

12- If we are not allowed to have a party in the Muslim countries we will not fight but we will make a party even if we call it a grocery store and the tyrants can not arrest us all and the west will not allow them to do so or I hope so.

13- Solving peacefully the Palatine-Israel conflict is a must do (two states solution).

14- We will not express rhetoric against any religious group but we will expose wrong policies and ideas.

15- The culture of death that is promoted by extreme groups in all sides and preparing for Armageddon should end. Moderation is the answer to the world struggles.

16- I already have one program to take care of health care delivary and long term care
Taman Health Plan: Social Security

17- I also propse a very strong banking system that will create the right stimulus and opportunity to all our citizens. See under New World Order (Moral Utopia Project
Though I tried to do the project with the west we are able to do it in our countries since the west is not interested.

18- I believe in the brain power that means one brain what ever it is brillance is less powerful than the brains of smart people working together. A lot of good projects will come up from them. The most important way to govern is through the consultation.

19- The best hierarchy of the govenrment is that made up of the best of people both morally and in expertise from all the citizen of a country regardless of their faith or race.

20- Our ultimate goal is to prepare the world for Jesus second coming. If we are wrong and they are not coming soon we are doing what is geopolitically right (though all the signs point to his soon second coming. We are creating a large moderate Islamic movement to peacefully transition the Arab and Muslim world to a new era of justice, peace and prosperity. We will continue to talk to the west but with suspicion. If they change their policies and we feel that they are in our camp will forgive them for the past bad policies and start all over.

If you are interested please E-mail me. magedtaman@yahoo.com Be brave we are able to stand to the tyrants and extremists. America will not sit with Muslims to see how to liberate us, they have their problems. We are the one who would help them. I doubt we can work through them they need the tyrants to deal with the extremists, we can bypass them to save them the challenge.

A Very Efficient Government Is No Government.

By: Maged Taman

Governments over the ages have been either the source of happiness of its people or sadness and depression. I look at an efficient government as the government that is so efficient that make you feel that there is no government.

It is like you are dealing with a bank that is very efficient and everything goes smooth that you never call the manager. You may not even have much interest to know how they accomplish that but you like it this way. Once a year or so you may ask for curiosity who is the manager or CEO of the bank.I am looking for an efficient government that look the same way. It is so effective that people feel that there is no government.

As you guessed the bank has no party system and is very likely very efficient because of the dedication and harmony of the staff of the bank.

Can we make governments work the same way. My answer is yes if we to do the following:

1- No party system since it had proved to be divisive to the country and allowed dictators to dominate over their countries.

2- Media that supervise every part of the government. It will not be right and left fighting all times. It will not be like: hi, thank you, you are great,..... There will be dialogue but down to business the problem so is better solved this way because of 1 + 1 + --- = s0.

3- No interest groups or outside money that corrupt the government.

4- All mechanisms to prevent the corruption of the government.

5- Weak politicians and strong citizens thus the government officials are serving the public and not vice verse. Politicians are not getting strength through absolute power and authority or through the strength of the party as happens in most third world country.

6- Politicians are more of independent people that in the network in the government and have to work it out between them. They are not a group of common interest or a gang. Their main interest is to make it work.

7- The government will become much less attractive for dominating dictators and corrupt individuals. People are basically will change their attitude towards their leaders and they will be looked at more like CEO's.

8- The government in every country would hold the human values of free speech, women rights, women rights, religious rights... That will make the people happy feeling social justice, equality and freedom.

9- The government overtime with all its intact institutions that allow smooth and very efficient governing system will make people do not feel there is a government and they will worship their God and enjoy their families. Meanwhile we will prevent most causes of wars and social upsets.

New World Order (Moral Utopia Project)

By: Maged Taman

After I made a new plan to restructure the very complicated health care/Medicare/Medicaid and social security in America with a simple health plan that insure every one in America and save billions of dollars every year to the American people I felt that the current world political and economic systems are also very complicated and we have a seriously dangerous world now. We do not have a choice but to restructure the world. You will know how a serious thinker I am before you think I am paranoid if you read my health plan that can be ordered from http://www.trafford.com/.

This plan is an unconditional gift from me to the American people, as well 50% of the profit of the book will go to the families of victims of 09/11. I welcome if any country can choose to apply it . I would ask just to keep my name on the plan (here it comes my little paranoia).Going to the world situation if you read and take the opinion of a lot of thinkers they will tell you the same about the great pitfalls of the current world system and the dysfunctional United Nation. Unfortunately most politicians over the world now adopt more reactive policies to crisis and disorganized short-term policies. A preemptive peace is what needs to be done. A new world system that insure preventing hunger, disease and wars before they happen need to be established.

Terrorism and clash of civilizations can be easily contained by this new system. No one should be feared about it. Though I put here outlines of this system it is only possible by a thorough discussion by a lot of brilliant people all over the world. I believe much in the world wide democracy. I still see the simple tribe system is the best system of democracy. There is no parties, media or institutions but people simply sit together and discuss their affairs in a transparent environment. In Islam there is no certain system of government but simply the leader is elected by any fair way and a consultation system that get input from every individual is implemented. I am still surprised to see people are fearful of Islam, the terrorism is a very unique phenomena and as president Bush himself talked about the hopelessness under repression and tyranny and the need to free people and improve their daily life. I think however the path he is taking to combat terrorism and Iraq first then spread democracy will take very long years.

My new world plan gets all problems solved in one project. Besides the global problems, it addresses the Palestine-Israel conflict, Iranian nuclear projects, Iraq and democracy all in the same time.The new system I am advocating is the one that connect the countries that are members to share the same values of democracy, free market and so forth. One such system can be called American Alliance. This alliance that can replace the current UN or progressively take over this institution. The entry in alliance is both by choice and any country can recede whenever it wants. We will need a national voting for that from the country to join the alliance. However it can not have WMD after joining or if to recede. Most people in the Arab/Muslim countries with having the Support of America will to join the alliance. We will simply overwhelm their governments. The country which would join the alliance has to follow the roles of this alliance.

These roles are:
1- Combating Satan (evil): though people talk a lot of God the world problem is that we are listening to Satan. God is waiting for us it is Satan that we need to outsmart. He wants all of us to be enemies and we end by destruction of the world and our civilization. You can see it well every one is going after his affairs and if we have a third world war every one will loose every thing he had worked for. It does not need a brainer that Satan and evil are winning now in our current world affairs.

2- Harmony between all people: Christians, Jews, Muslims and other religions.

3- Ten commandments/Major sins.

4- Good deeds and morality.

5- Honesty: dishonesty is behind every evil particularly governmental distrust, conspiracies and wars.

6-Virtue: Islam handle this very well: one has to be faithful and not to sin and put the mechanisms to prevent sinning. But if one to sin he should not talk about it and not to be repeated. Talking about sins end by unfairly accusing people, give the sense that sin is everywhere so people sin more. It became a good way to get money from people to get them to sin and then blackmail them. No one in Islam is to spy or trash any one reputation and media could not talk about a sex life of an individual. Simply, no one should know or talk about any one sexual life, it is between him, God and people that are affected by this relation. Satan want us to sin and get the worse consequences of sinning.

7-Democracy.

8-Human rights.

9-Women rights. Note for Muslim women they can work and go as high as they can. Islam protected them with the Islamic uniform and with separation in schools and work from men. The most common problems for women in the west are break of marriage due to infidelity and sexual abuse during work both can be avoided by separation of men and women at work places.

10-Minority rights.

11-Freedom of religion.

12-Absence of corruption in all its forms.

13-Absence of drug production, trafficking or dealing.

14-Justice to every one.

15-absence of any form of discrimination.The American Alliance will oversee most items. It could have anti-corruption section, human right section and so forth in the new UN.Democracy should be overseen in each country by insuring free election, free press and separation of power.

A new political system I see is what I call it the consultation system. No doubt the party system has proved not only to be inefficient, but also a dangerous system for the following reasons:

1- Most of dictators like Hitler and Saddam came through a new national party that incite peoples with crazy ideas for sake of that person greed to power, pseudo-heroism and glorification. Satan does his best job in the world through these evil people.
2-Totalitarian systems like communism strengthen themselves through a party. Every tyrant needs two structures. The upper structure as I see it is the control of media, military, police and most of institutions. The lower structure is through the party which give the people the false feeling of democracy and in the same time get strong support from the people who will benefit from the system as a second army inside the communities so they continue to protect the system.
3- Even in true democratic countries the party system is not working well. politicians are more occupied with politics than policies and for one party to take over the other party has to fail. It is the civilized war Satan is looking for. Many time the political process is not a continuum but new administrations are trying to undo what other ones have done.American politicians should consider that for our sake given above issues. Ultimately America gets dragged on by one way or another when one country political system breaks down. In the old days when people where fighting with swords we would have been well protected here in America.

In the consultation system I purpose:

1- Getting money out of politics and media.
2- Politicians who are running for different positions do not belong to any party. Every one identifies himself by his own position. If you read my health and long term care plan you will find that we will get this very important policy to a great part out of the political struggle.
3- In this system the politicians are well watched with unbiased and very independent and responsible media.
4- The president role is more like a great consultant that gets the most experienced and brightest people to share in decision making. Decision making is more like a consensus and not a monopoly.

The new economic system of the world for the American alliance:

1- Non interest based economy: lending in the Bible and Koran are supposed to lift up the poor. It is abused now it gets the rich people lend their money and make high profits from the poor. Example of such a new system is like selling a car with no interest that can be paid over three years. Same can be done with a lot of goods.

2- New Banking system: banks including the federal banks will function by having availability all time through mutual agreement of supplying money with no interest among them and Federal bank. Money will be lent with no interest to public. A good credit will allow one to borrow higher money amounts. Banks will get profits by cost of service and by selling their mutual funds and other sorts of shares to the public instead of Cd's. But why should people give the money to banks with no interest. For different reasons they would do that, it is safest way to keep money, they will get certain benefits in the future like amount of money to burrow. I think many smart ideas will come from financial experts to have pouring of money in the new banking system. As well by the main Bank of Alliance to supply regular flow of money. One important motivation to keep money in banks is the global development and contributing to abundance of the new economic system and preventing wars.

3- Investment will be mainly through stock market.

4- As the economy is in full power in America it contracts after it expands. It is like a closed room the economy that can not get any bigger. In American alliance economy on the other hand, if the American economy is in full expansion money goes to other economies (spell over) that open new economies and strengthen the American dollar buying power. It is like having a new way to expand linearly the American economy. Suppose with one dollar you buy 5 apples. If the apples are grown in Israel/Palestine, Lebanon..... the one dollar could buy you 15 apples or more.

5- That is what I call economy of abundance compare that by the greedy capitalistic system now where people lend with interest rate. The rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer. In the Alliance or Utopia economy we are lifting every one and strengthening the buying power of dollar. Thus the rich is getting richer (remember money is what it can buy of services and goods, if you have a million dollars and no one is working in the world what you have is only papers).

6-One currency economy: the American dollar will take over every other country currency and can be done gradually. In the future a dollar can have pictures of that country currency and change can be issued by the individuals countries for the small changes. One currency is very important in simplifying and encouraging investment in individual countries.

7- You may say that Americans will loose jobs. In fact their dollar will have higher buying power and my Taman health plan will have money for every American insuring his health care and long term care kept aside. In fact he will be working less hours and enjoying traveling around the world.

8- In order to develop a country the problem has always been the governments: either corruption, bureaucracy or lazy officials. In my plan good banking system will be first established in every country and money can be burrowed by people. Big corporations usually goes after money that will help to develop these countries with burrowing, job creation and paying back cycles repeated over and over we will lift every one in these countries. As you see we will bypass the hands of the officials. The UN will help the big corporations to define resources and potential projects.

9- I am for a simple Tax code like president Bush is seeking to do to be applied in each country. I actually like something in addition in Islam called Zakat or Gezia which in our American alliance can define poverty in each country and the poor defined by income divided by the number of households. People under poverty line get a certain amount of money (2.5% of yearly income of all well to do people go to the poor in same country). Except for my health care/long term care were we protect your money from you so you spend it and keep it only for health and long term care, I prefer people to have the money in their hands. Governments proved to us over the years not to do a good job with our monies.

Why Americans should benefit from such alliance:

1- Preventing third world war, we will be able to keep an eye on global politicians. Through the history America is the one ultimately has to face the bad guys as Hitler, Milosevic and Saddam.

2- America is overwhelmed by the immigrants or potential immigrants.

3- Resolving global terrorism.

4- Developing appropriately the third world and combating poverty.

5- Preventing ethnic cleansing and local wars before they start.

6- Global environmental standards.

7- Benefiting Americans corporations from the best way to invest and grow more.

8- Solving Israel-Palestine conflict.9- Halting Iran and other Muslim countries acquiring WMD.

10-Possible clearing of India and Pakistan of nuclear weapons.

11-Simplifying control of the world. Though the project is large, it is much easier in next decades to control the world. Two complicated problems of the world in the same time could take all time of American politicians. We will be lift by diplomatic alliance with China and Russia. It will be ultimate dream if both as well to join the alliance. The Europeans through their own union or joining the new alliance are likely to continue not to pose threat to the civilized world.With all the world problems and the difficulties of the individual countries to solve their own problems we do not have choice but large alliances. As you see Utopia is not a fantasia it is a most do now.

Why a country would like to join this American Alliance:

1- Protection, a country will be protected by NATO. It will have a small army joining NATO. However it will maintain its police and other local force enforcement agencies.

2- Get help during natural disasters.

3- No one would let to die of hunger in the countries of alliance.

4-Economic development.

5- Freedom of speech, free market, bill of rights and other advantages mentioned above.

We basically will be exporting America to the people with no need for them to come and take jobs from Americans. We will have an unlimited expansion of the American economy. Every country can still enjoy its culture and sovereignty. We will just be avoiding wars and maintaining an eye on global politicians so we do not see another Hitler or Saddam.People may think it is a Messianic dream, the truth is if we are realistic and pragmatic and look to the world from the geopolitical and economic mandate we will reach to the same conclusion. If you go to most third world countries you will find they share same problems and their governments can barely feed them.

If I am promoting all of these ideas I should be considered a pro-Christ, please review the Christ teachings. The world is full of immense economical and political problems and major clash of civilizations. Suppression or exclusion of Muslims from the current political scene does not help the situation but inclusion and dialogue are the answer.Most important now is to open the dialogue. When people talk they will find out they are all humans and have the same goals in life. The desire of domination and excluding other civilizations is in fact fruitless. If the Messiah comes I will be happy to step aside and let him take over. There is no obligations, the plan should be discussed openly and people, not only the few world politicians to give their opinions. If we to wait for the rupture, good luck I never saw this word in the Bible. It is the new trick to keep the status quo of the world and oppress any novel ideas.

Taman Health Plan: Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and Health Care: One Plan

By: Maged Taman

Americans' Future In One Plan: Taman Health Plan (http://www.trafford.com/04-1619 ) takes care of all the health care, Medicare, Medicaid and social security. It will threw all bureaucracies out of window. Let me explain shortly how it works:

1- there will be no more health care insurance companies, no Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security. My plan will take care of all.

2- Basically will be only one Big Health care organization (Taman Health Plan or THP).

3- The center of the plan will be in Washington while the health departments in every state will be the branches.

4- One organized body will be taking care of the Health Care and long term care of all Americans replacing 1500 insurance companies, Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

5- This will allow us to provide a uniform service to all Americans every where in both inpatients, outpatients and long term care.

6- When you go to any Duncan Donuts branch your expectation is to have a fresh coffee and a donut with no long wait. We will try to provide a similar predictable service everywhere as Duncan Donuts. With having only one body will be able to do that.

7- The Capital of the plan will be the funds of Medicare and Social Security (before the bankruptcy of both systems). The maintenance will be a yearly tax from each of us (will replace our yearly social security and Medicare holding taxes). A percent of each of us go to his account cards and a percent go to THP itself. The money of the plan will be invested by the investing sector of the plan very likely in Wall Street.

8- We will have 5 ATM cards with a corresponding accounts.
Card A (children),
Card B (working group 18-65years old),
Card C (Medicare card >65 years old),
Card D (Medicaid card),
Card E ( expensive medicines or investigations).

We will have the health cards devoted to health care and long term care. Thus we will have: health cards, banks with accounts to each card and credit card machines in outpatients care and hotelling part of hospitals and nursing homes.

9- Cards will pay for the outpatient medical care including doctors, emergency room visits, investigations, medical supplies, pharmacies and the hotelling part of hospitals and nursing homes. While the medical part of hospitals and nursing homes will be budget by the plan itself.

10- In the first year of issuing cards: Card B and C (most of people) will have a bonus it could be a percent of their Medicare and social security withholding (70 % or so). We will try to be fair to every one but every one has to know that most of us already lost a lot of money with the HMO's. For next year new comers to card B at age of 18 when first issued will have a bonus of 50,000 dollars. It will change every year by a percent a according to inflation.

11- every one of us will get a statement every one or two months of his card account. Card B account will phase in card C at the age of 65. If card C account is vanished Card D will be issued (hoteling part will be less luxurious). Only few of Card B will have card D if there account vanish most likely those with severe medical problems.

12- So basically most of us will have our own account Card B then card C. Say you are 45 and you have now in your account $ 200,000 you can take one or more years out of work, you Can retire early if you like and with your card you will control all the medical services and its prices.

13- With this card system we will end all bureaucracies of health care, Medicare and Medicaid. No one will stand between you and any medical or long term service (only your card). Shop around with you card, have early health care security and responsibility and invest in your health.

14- We will not need Social Security since after age of 65 we will be able to use our cards to stay in any nursing home each according to his account in card C or card D. So when you invest well in your health you will be able to enjoy a nicer nursing home when you get old (actually it will be also a kind of tourism).

15- The money in cards do not get inherited when we pass away but recycle in the plan to support the next generations.

16- The plan will have very positive effects not only in simplifying our care, save a lot of waste in health care, give early health care security and responsibility to Americans it will also have a positive effect on the economy, saving billions of dollars to Americans, creating jobs in health care and cutting outsourcing.

Very likely, you figure it out by now I could have sold the plan to one of the presidential candidate before the 2004 election for millions of dollars (they had spent 2 billion dollars in campaign). I could have done the same this 2008 presidential election. It is my gift to the American people (it will help the healing process of the two worlds America and the Muslim/Arabs). At that time of 2004 I sent this plan to big organizations in America in health care, political and others. I was trying to negotiate through this plan to have freedom in the Arab world. This does not mean that we will go and invade each one but will create the strong political will to make drastic changes in these countries. The American government did not allow me or my plan to see the light since they did not want their close tyrant friends in the Arab world to be threatened.

These are the benefits to the American people:

1- Insure all Americans for health care.
2- Take care of the entitlements of all programs as above.
3- Save billions of dollars to America every year.
4- Give to the Americans early health care security and responsibility.
5- Inject the American economy by the right stimulus in health care and long care to stimulate the economy.
6- Creating more jobs that is difficult to outsource.
7- Give the Americans the freedom to be off from work for months or years without socialism.
8- Will diminish much the hidden deficit in health care which will diminish the yearly budget deficit and debt.
9- Will save a lot of lives 18,000 are lost yearly due to lack of insurance.
10- Will cut much in crimes and incarcerations that many times are related to hopelessness, lack of health and long term security and resentment.

The American Government have blocked me for few years to talk to the public since they do not want people to know me, particularly Muslims and to take me seriously. This plan is still my gift to the American people if there leaders will change their positions in the world.
