Description:
(Egyptian-American Biochemist) Rashad Khalifa, an Egyptian-American biochemist, was known for his association with the United Submitters International (USI) and advocacy of Quranism. He sought to purify Islam by rejecting hadith and sunnah, considering them corrupted. Khalifa emphasized the Quran as the sole basis for Islamic beliefs and practices, disregarding texts like the Bible. He promoted the concept of a Quran code, specifically The Number 19. Khalifa's evolving beliefs, including declaring himself a divine messenger, faced opposition in the Muslim community, leading to his tragic death in 1990.
