Chapter 2. Periodicity in History of Man.
Science is showing that nearly 50,000 years ago we appeared. Just as the last Ice Age ended i.e. 10,000 years ago, man put in a very accelerated development. His slow evolution is then 80% of 50,000 years i.e. 40,000 years; and the remaining 20% is 10,000 years where rapid evolution occurs. This 80-20 Ratio we find in the smaller Period called Saat of 50 yrs. It also seems true for the larger period of 5,000 Myrs, where 4,000 Myrs is a slow evolution, and 500 Myrs have passed of rapid development. We can call this Ratio as a Divine Signature.
The Timeline for the Man’s latter period is full of events, and they increase in numbers as you approach the end, i.e. Now. Instead of showing it here and causing you to work hard, it would be better to give you the findings and show them working through the historical dates.
The Divine Calendar In History of Man
C L A I M
1. The Present Human Race started with Adam in 47,600.BC. And its first 50,000 yrs Period will end in 2,400.AD. This long Period, or Stage, is called a Yaum in holy Quran. This Race may then be replaced by the next Adam Race, or it may continue as in the past. Allah only knows.
2. This Period of the Adam Race of 50,000 yr. is divided in Ages. The first Age was from 47,600 BC. till 8,000 BC. a period of 39,600 yr. This long Age is called the Old Stone Age. An Age is called “AALAMEEN” in the holy Quran.
3. The second Age, or the Age of the City-Dweller, is from 8,000.BC. till 2,000.BC. a period of 6,000.yrs. Here he led a settled Urban Life, of a stratified Society.
4. The third Age is from 2,000.BC. till 1,800.AD, and is called the Age of the Empires. This period is of 3,800.yrs. The definitive words for this period are Kings and Cruelty with Religion.
5. The Last Age is from 1,800.AD. till 2,400.AD. This is a period of 600.yrs. This Age is called the Age of Democracy and Wealth with Materialism.
6. The above Ages, except for the third, are exact multiples of a period of 600 yr. The third Age has a 200yrs extension to it.
7. This basic period of 600yrs is called “AJAL” in the holy Quran. During the Age of Empires various “People” were given “Power on Earth” over other Peoples, for this Period. This caused an Empire and a civilization to appear. But at the end of 3 Ajals, those People and their Civilization they had made vanished to be replaced by another People’s Empire. This 3 Ajals Period is called Aalameen of the People. Aalameen means recognizable state of affairs or way of life.
8. An Ajal is composed of 12 sub periods of 50yrs, called “Saat” in the holy Quran.
9. Each Saat is further composed of two sections. The first section is Evolutionary, and is of 40yrs. The second section is Revolutionary, and is of 10yrs. That is, God in steering the Destiny of Man gives 40yrs.as Probation, and then in the ten years following, he implements his Correction in the course of his Destiny.
10. The clock for these Saats and Ajals are counted in Dates from a Marker for an Area. For example the Markers for the Middle East Ajals are 0 AD, 600 AD, 1200 AD, 1800 AD, etc. While the Markers for Saats for Makah are 570 AD, 620 AD, 670 AD, etc. The Markers for European Ajals are 300 AD, 900 AD, 1500 AD, 2100 AD, etc.
11. This multi-level Periodicity gives meaning to History, giving us insight into the Future. Thus is explained the Prophecies in the Past. The Proof of a Theory is in its capability of Prediction.
12. For the Indian Sub Continent, the Saats are 1707, 1757, 1803, 1857, 1906, 1956, 2006, etc. Taking 1906, plus 40yrs.gives1946, and the British say they are leaving India. The next 10yrs. see the creation of Pakistan and its final implementation on 23 March 1956. Taking the next Saat, adding 40yrs. in 1956 gives us 1996. Now it must be felt by everybody that events are being Ordained, as no Solution seems possible through Intellect. The next 10yrs. should see the Implementation, as before, of a Plan by God for the course of the Destiny of the Indian Sub Continent.
Periodicity from the Time Line of Man :-
1. 50,000 yrs ago to 10,000 yrs . Life of a Hunter Gatherer. 40,000 yrs.
= 800 X 50 yrs Saat.
2. 10,000 yrs to 4,000 yrs. Life as City Dweller. 6,000 yrs.
= 120 X 50 yrs Saat.
3. 4,000 yrs to 200 yrs ago. Age of Empires. 3,800 yrs.
= 76 X 50 yrs Saat.
4. 200 yrs ago to Present, 2000 AD. 200 yrs.
= 4 X 50 yrs Saat.
5. Life Span of Man or one Genera, 50,000. Yrs. = 1000 X 50 yrs Saat.
Surprisingly 1,000 such Spans = 50M yrs ago, = Start of creation of primitive Monkeys. Following 80% law of slow evolution in 50 Myrs, we come to 10 Myrs ago to find Ramapithecus is created, a creature close to us in form. Then rapid development to us.
6. Equinox cycle =26,000 yrs. 1,000x Equinox cycles = 26.Myrs.= Extinction of a species. = ˝ 0f 50.Myrs, the span of monkeys to man.
For a very long time when he first appears at the near end of the last Ice Age as Homo Sapiens the modern man in every biological way, say 47,600 BC; till the establishment of settlements in Jericho, say 8000 BC, a period of 39,600 years; he led a life of hunter gatherer. His main occupation was survival. We do not know his thoughts, but assume his behavior aggressive as he lived in small bands or tribes. From 8000 BC to 2000 BC a period of 6000 years, these settlements became city-states.
This period between 8000 BC to 2000 BC is an important transitional period in the civilization of Man. The first domestication of cereals produced settlements in the MidEast and the Nile Delta. He builds permanent shelters using stones. He domesticates animals and starts leading a settled life which is Rural in nature. The development of his civilization continues, and Inventions of Wheel, Writing & Sail follow. The settlements become Towns, driven by commerce, supported by rural settlements around them. These Towns are ruled by a Priest King, an intermediary between people and God of nature. This period is called Bronze Age, due to the metal workers producing Wheels and Chariots of bronze.
Towards the last part of this period 3000 BC to 2000 BC, the Towns become Cities. We find Numbers have been invented (Decimal and Sexagesimal), & 365 day global Calendar is operating in Egypt, and so is the Ox drawn plough. The religion has changed. Now Stonehenge and Pyramids are built. In the city of Ur, Queen Shub-ad is buried with her entourage. In Egypt Pharaoh is considered God virtually. There are reports of Heavenly Omens and Monstrous births, e.g. sheep brings forth a calf with 2 Tails. Also at Erech the statue of Ishtar is torn down by lightning. We end this period seeing the rise of the first Empire in History by Saragon I of Agade. Shamsi Adad destroys the city of Ur in 1800 BC. It is recorded that prophet Abraham Leaves city of Ur in 1800 BC.
Since then we see till modern times say 1950, various empires coming and going throughout the world. We see movement of people from Central Asia towards Europe, Mid east and India. They settle and form new Empires. History is just a collection of facts as to who came when and faded away. In 1950 we see the last Empire of Great Britain retreating. After this we see USSR and US as two supper Powers though without a king. Democracy is in fashion and Empire out of fashion.
What can we summarize on a large scale glancing at the history of man? Looking at the world chronology of history one is bewildered by the massive amount of Data and Dates. What we find is that from greater a distance we view this history, simpler is the picture that emerges; and vice versa. What we see is that man existed as a simple hunter-gatherer for 39,600 years. Then for a period of 6000 years, he puts in a burst of development and becomes a city dweller. In his new role, he was not engaged in survival directly as an individual; but now he worked on his civilization, which in turn took care of survival against nature. Towards the end of this period, the king became god. This produced the great religion. Immediately he entered his next phase, and there started a period of empires, which ended in 1950. This period was of 3,600 years. What next?
Let us now see again the mans history, keeping in view the holy books i.e. the Quran and the Ahadith. Let us look for a periodicity as indicated by Quran at various places, e.g.: --
“For every people we have appointed a Period, not a moment can they hurry it and not a moment can they delay it”; S.7.A.34.
I find seven events in Mideast , which are like clockwork. Consider this. 1800 BC Abraham leaves city of Ur. 1200 BC Moses leads children of Israel from Egypt into Palestine. This means that within 600 years, a tribe has appeared from a couple called Abraham and his wife ?
From 1200 BC to 600 BC we see Moses wandering for 40 years in Sinai. He is succeeded by others, until we see a great empire under David and Solomon in Jerusalem. Then decline sets in, the empire is divided into two. It ends with great immorality during Jezebel. The end comes on 596 BC, when Nebuchadnezer of Babylon deports the King, and then on 586 BC, sacks Jerusalem and takes Jews to Babylon under captivity. Very strange, this periodicity of 600 years.
During 600 BC to 0 BC we see many changes. We see a dramatic collapse of Power in Assyria and Cyrus II founds the Persian Empire. He conquers Babylon and allows Jews to migrate back to Jerusalem. They were in captivity for 50 years. Then Alexander appears in 334 BC and Jews find themselves being ruled by Greeks. Around 168 BC, Romans control Greece and so the rule over Palestine passes to Romans. 5 BC, Jesus Christ SS. is born, and 34 AD is reported crucified. 6 AD Judea becomes a Province of Rome, no longer ruled by a Jew King. So from 596 BC the first deportation of King, to 6 AD is 602 years. Also the Spiritual Rule of Jesus Christ SS. is from 5 BC to 34 AD, equals 39 yrs.
However taking 34 AD as start of next Period, we see the Jewish Rebellion against Romans on 66-77 AD, leading to second destruction of the Temple. This leads to their Diaspora 100 years after 34 AD on 135 AD. They are dispersed throughout the Roman Empire not being allowed to live in Palestine. Then 200 to 250 AD is the development of European Christian theology. Around 300 AD we see new people coming to Europe. They become Germans, Franks, English, and Goths etc. Also around 313 AD through Edict of Milan, the old pagan Romans sign & recognise the rights of the European Church in Rome. In 330 AD capital of Empire shifts to Constantinople. 404 AD Latin Bible completed. 500 AD Franks converted to Christianity.
This Period ends with birth of Mohammed (peace be upon him) on 570 AD, becomes Rasool Allah with Quran on 610 AD, Hijra on 622 AD, death on 632 AD; and capture of Jerusalem by Muslims in 638 AD. So from 34 AD to 638 AD is 604 years. Also from 34 AD to 632 AD, the death of Mohammad Rasool Allah, is 598 Years.
We See here again a Periodicity of 600 years between Prophets Jesus and Mohammed (Peace be upon them).Also that Jerusalem was a Marker for a situation where people, prophet and place coincided. As the Jews are absent from Jerusalem till their return, it acts as a marker for periodicity only, Other places may have different marker dates of reoccurrence of periodicity. Pursuing further we see in Quran:-
"Allah promises those who have brought faith and do good work that later on will give power in land, as he had done to others before; and establish their religion which he has chosen for them and will exchange their fear with peace, provided they obey me and not ascribe anybody else as my partner, and who ever confuses after this is among the outcast." S24. A55.
So the key to understanding then is that God grants power to a people, for a period of 600 years. Let us see if this bears out further.
From 638 AD to 1244 AD a period of 606 years. The start of course is the Muslim conquest of Jerusalem. Within 10 years, this small band of Bedouin tribes had conquered Persia, Iraq, Syria, Palestine and Egypt. What is so remarkable? After we have read the relevant Quranic Ayat. But what is amazing is that this rise and fall like that of Jews was repeated for the Arabs; when we see in 1244 AD, Ayub a Turk from Egypt conquers Jerusalem from the Third crusade, who had wrested it from the Caliphate for a short while. Also few years later in 1258 AD, Mongols sack Baghdad, the last remnant of Arab rule which started in 661 AD, after the death of last true Caliph Hazrat Ali. Thus the Power to a People here comes to 597 years.
From 1244 AD to 1844 AD a period of 600 years. In this period is the rise to power of Turks, and their fall by the end of 600 years, as in 1844 AD. Amir Mohammed Ali of Egypt occupied Jerusalem from the Turks. Although the Jerusalem’s marker is faithfully following the periodicity in that place, this was not the end of Ottoman Turkish Empire. This came in 1914 world war. Thus we have seen the seven events around Mid East of 1800 BC, 1200 BC, 600 BC, 6 to 35 AD, 638 AD, 1244 AD and 1844 AD. This cannot be a coincidence. With insight from Quran we can see this periodicity in world history of man. We see Jerusalem acting as a marker for Jewish people. Then it continues for Arabs and Turkish people for that area.
We surmise the period of 1800 BC to 1800 AD as follows. We see earlier that the man’s civilization first started in MidEast and developed to the height of city kings. It ended around 1800 BC. when power and opulence must have produced a life of great imbalance and immorality culminating in a belief of king being God. We see two things happening. One is that a young boy named Abraham intellectually questions the making of Idols as gods. This Reflection Transcends to Intense quest for Deity at the risk of death, culminating into the first recorded discourse between Allah and a Man. Thus is born in Mideast, the first great Religion. In fact as we will see, The Religion; as Allah works in a particular method of connectivity, and states that "no change will we find in his methods", Quran.
The second thing is the start of the Age of Empires. Infact we have termed this period 1800 BC. to 1800 AD. as the period of Empires, although so many changes took place in the way of life of Mankind. But the process has been the same. We see the rise and fall of various "Peoples", differentiated from each other by Race and Language, each Period producing a materially more advanced civilization for Mankind. A lot of work is needed to make out the Periodic Table for the whole world, but it is enough to show a glimpse of this periodicity. This helps us explain the history for the first time.
Let us look back and see how periodicity fits in the total history of man. The long period of 39,600 years from 47,600 BC to 8,000 BC is a multiple of 600 giving us 66 periods of 600 years each. Then we have a period of 6,000 years from 7,800 BC to 1800 BC, which gives us a duration of 10 periods. It would be convenient to give a name to this duration of 600 years. Let us call it Ajal.
So the first long period is 66 Ajals long. Then this is followed by the Age of Civilization, which is 10 Ajals or Periods long. This is followed by the Age of Empires from 1800 BC to 1800 AD. The Start on 1800 BC is the destruction of Ur by Assyrians; and the End on 1800 AD is the French Revolution and the replacement of the King by a Republic by the people. This total of 3,600 years is 6 Ajals long. It has taken 150 years more for the last Empire to crumble. Since the Age of Empires started along with Religion, the new Age of People started along with Industry and Wealth. So we see in the present Age, power is with people again but the religion has been replaced with wealth. In effect Materialism is the present Religion.
We have seen the above patterns going through Time of Man in general. If we go through Time following a particular People, we see another unit of Yaum or Period. We call it Aalameen from insight of the Holy Quran. This comes to 1,800 years, i.e. of 3 Ajals of 600 years each. In fact Al-Aalameen is translated as many Nations, and so Aalameen means a Nation or a recognisable way of life of a particular People. We see in History that People or Nations exist in their way of life for 1,800 years only. After this they change into a different way of life.
“we bestowed aforetime on Abraham his Rectitude of Conduct, and we recognised him in Aalameen”. S. 21. A. 51.
We see from 1,800.BC a new Nation coming out of the Progeny of Prophet Abraham SS, due to the above Ayat. Their Aalameen ends at 0.BC.when Prophet Jesus Christ SS is born. On 135.AD Diaspora occurs and Jews are distributed out of Jerusalem. They existed in this new form for their Second Aalameen ending 1935.AD. The first Muslim Riots were in 1936 AD in Jerusalem due to unprecedented number of Jewish illegal immigrants in 1935 AD. The Jews are now in their Third Aalameen.
Similarly the Aalameen of Christians starts from 0.AD. The early Jew converts called Zealots die out by Roman actions before the Diaspora. Then a new Christian community comes into existence in Rome on 313 AD by the Edict of Milan. By then a new People called the Germanic Tribes coming into Europe from Asia become Christians. The Aalameen of the Christians should end on 1,800 AD; and of the European Christians on 2,100.AD.What we see around 1,800 AD is the Industrial Revolution, and the replacement of Kings with Republics. A new civilisation comes over the Christians and now over the World. The Christians are now in their Second Aalameen.
