Kitab concerning the Beasts - Passages concerning "Beasts" mentioned in the Holy Quran


 

ASA WR WB to believing Muslim friends.

These are from my personal notes. I was asking Allah (swt) what qualifies someone for 2 things:

  1. To be transformed and likened to beasts (including apes and swine)
  2. To be assigned "The Beast" or "Ad Dawab". 

We are able to understand when Allah (swt) says that someone is like (mathala, analogous to) something that He (swt) mentions, then that can mean a moment, sign, ayat of transformation. This is because Allah (swt) does transform people. We can actually confirm the concept of reincarnation in the Holy Quran. Will add that research to this blog post on the bottom of this list of ayats later today, insha Allah.

The beautiful thing about this research is that it also exposes what does not qualify someone to be transformed to; or to be assigned "Ad Dawab", as in, based on skin color; or based on gender (women tend to call men dogs in general and not solely based on behavior). It also exposes that a person does not qualify based on their economic status, but can draw the conclusion that whether rich or poor it again would be based on the person's behavior in those statuses. The ayats that are not in bold are pertaining to Ad Dawab and Anam being a part of Allah's plan from the 6 Days of creation. The ayats in bold are pertaining to transformations or assignments of Ad Dawab concerning what is not a part of Allah's plan, although integrating them into the 6 Days of creation, and resetting His (swt) Divine Plan from the beginning of creation.


Kitab concerning the Beasts

HQ 2:164 - Behold! in the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of the night and the day; in the sailing of the ships through the ocean for the profit of mankind; in the rain which God Sends down from the skies, and the life which He gives therewith to an earth that is dead; in the beasts of all kinds that He scatters through the earth; in the change of the winds, and the clouds which they Trail like their slaves between the sky and the earth;- (Here) indeed are Signs for a people that are wise.


HQ 8:22 - For the worst of beasts in the sight of God are the deaf and the dumb,- those who understand not.


HQ 8:55 - For the worst of beasts in the sight of God are those who reject Him: They will not believe.


HQ 16:82 - And when the Word is fulfilled against them (the unjust, zalimun), we shall produce from the earth a beast to (face) them: He will speak to them, for that mankind did not believe with assurance in Our Signs.


HQ Luqman:10 - He created the heavens without any pillars that ye can see; He set on the earth mountains standing firm, lest it should shake with you; and He scattered through it beasts of all kinds. We send down rain from the sky, and produce on the earth every kind of noble creature, in pairs.


HQ Qalam:16 - Soon shall We brand (the beast) on the snout!


HQ Takwir:5 - When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations);


HQ 2: 65 - And well ye knew those amongst you who transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath: We said to them: “Be ye apes, despised and rejected.”


HQ 4:47 - O ye People of the Book! believe in what We have (now) revealed, confirming what was (already) with you, before We change the face and fame of some (of you) beyond all recognition, and turn them hindwards, or curse them as We cursed the Sabbath breakers, for the decision of God Must be carried out.


HQ 4:154 - And for their covenant we raised over them (the towering height) of Mount (Sinai); and (on another occasion) we said: “Enter the gate with humility”; and (once again) we commanded them: “Transgress not in the matter of the sabbath.” And we took from them a solemn covenant.


HQ 5:62 - Say: "O People of the Book! Do ye disapprove of us for no other reason than that we believe in Allah, and the revelation that hath come to us and that which came before (us), and (perhaps) that most of you are rebellious and disobedient?"

HQ 5:63 - Say: "Shall I point out to you something much worse than this,(as judged) by the treatment it received from Allah? Those who incurred the curse of Allah and His wrath, those of whom some He transformed into apes and swine, those who worshipped Evil (Jibt, Taghut, Suhr) ; --these are (many times) worse in rank, and far more astray from the even Path!" {extra verses to provide context}


HQ 7:163 - Ask them concerning the town standing close by the sea. Behold! they transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath. For on the day of their Sabbath their fish did come to them, openly holding up their heads, but on the day they had no Sabbath, they came not: thus did We make a trial of them, for they were given to transgression.

HQ 7:164 - When some of them said: "Why do ye preach to a people whom Allah will destroy or visit with a terrible punishment?" --Said the preachers: "To discharge our duty to your (and our) Lord, and perchance they may fear Him."

HQ 7:165 - When they disregarded the warnings that had been given them, We rescued those who forbade Evil; but We visited the wrongdoers with a grievous punishment, because they were given to transgression.

HQ 7:166 - When in their insolence they transgressed (all) prohibitions, We said to them: "Be ye apes, despised and rejected.” {extra verses to provide context}


HQ 16:124 - The Sabbath was only made (Strict) for those who disagreed (as to its observance); But God will judge between them on the Day of Judgment, as to their differences.


Ayats of Holy Quran that Confirm the Concept of Reincarnation and that Allah (swt) can transform His created beings if and when He (swt) chooses:

Surah 36:

    65. That Day shall We set a seal on their mouths. But their hands will speak to Us, and their feet bear witness, to all that they did.

    66. If it had been Our Will, We could surely have blotted out their eyes; then should they have run about groping for the Path, but how could they have seen?

    67. And if it had been Our Will, We could have transformed them (to remain) in their places; then should they have been unable to move about, nor could they have returned (after error).

    68. If We grant long life to any, We cause him to be reversed in nature: Will they not then understand?

Surah 30: 

    11. It is Allah Who begins (the process of) creation; then repeats it; then shall ye be brought back to Him.

Tahara, Wudu, Ghusla - Purification and Cleanliness For the Pleasure of Allah (swt)

 


ASA WR WB to believing Muslim friends.

Sometimes in taking off our shoes to make Wudu in the Masjids we may pick up some very strong and difficult to treat foot fungi on the bathroom tiles or flip flop shoes that we place upon our feet. The best protection against that is to make Wudu and Ghusla at home right before going to the Masjid. The reason it is worth mentioning is because Tahara, Wudu and Ghusla are acts of Ibadah. All activities involving cleaning are acts of Ibadah for Muslims. This is what brings the Sakinah of Allah (swt) near to the worshiper because Allah (swt) loves purity, and cleanliness.

But, if the person washed at the Masjid and picked up a fungus, then there are some powerful natural solutions. I have 3 solutions that I found on the internet. Another reason that it is worth mentioning is that it is good to mention this to Revert and Convert Muslims.

Using a plastic container with a depth of 15-Qt/14-Liter, and dimensions are 12 inches wide by 16 inches long.


Solution 1 - Strongest

Vinegar and Water

1 Part Vinegar to 2 Parts Water. For that container 36 cups cover all of feet. It is good for the water to be warm

It is suggested not to leave the feet in this solution more than 15 minutes, and to do this once per day for 14-21 days.


Solution 2 - Moderate Strength

Hydrogen Peroxide and Water

4 measuring cups of Hydrogen Peroxide to 32 cups of Water. It is good for the water to be warm.

It is suggested to soak feet for 30-60 minutes.


Solution 3 - Mildly Strong

Baking Soda and Water.

32-36 cups of warm water and 1/2 of a 1 lb box of Baking Soda.







It is worth mentioning because it should not be forgotten to say these things to reverts and converts. They may not always see right away that, "the meaning of Life is the Worship of Allah (swt)"; nor seeing that many of the things that we do in life are interconnected to Ibadah and are acts of Ibadah themselves. 
By (Ikhlas) and (Tauhara or Tahara) and (Tayyib and Halal):
We are in Salaat while we are washing (Wudu and Ghusla) for Salaat. We are in Salaat while we are cleaning the home (vacuuming, etc.). We are in Salaat while we are doing the laundry. We are in Salaat while we are cleaning the car. We are in Salaat while we are grcoery shopping for healthy foods, as well as, while preparing them in the kitchens. We are in Salaat while taking care and maintaining the inside and outside of the home, in addition to, communities. 
When COVID-19 is under control. We are in Salaat while we are going to work to earn enough money to continue and maintain these functions as well as fulfill obligations and engagements.

Allahu Mumitu. Allahu Hayyu. Allahu Qayyumu.


Bismi Allahi Al Rahmani Al Raheemi

ASA WR WB to believing Muslim friends.

Allahu Mumitu. Allahu Hayyu. Allahu Qayyumu.

What I can see about death is that it is either coming from Allah (swt). Or, it is coming from an adversary. In the case of Allah (swt) it can be considered timely or decreed by God. In the case of an adversary it can be considered untimely or not decreed by God. 

There are 2 things that the Malaika did the proverbial cry wolf about and that was the Shedding of Blood through the land; and the Spreading of Mischief through the land while they celebrated the Praise of Allah (swt) and Glorified His Holy Names. [Image the Malaika said proverbial "Wolf".]


There can be many motives behind why another person decides to commit murder. God does not decree murder. He does however, decree the penalty of death for certain sins, those are not like senseless murder. In our world that justice is better carried out by our Judicial systems. But one motive that is sometimes not thought about is the adversary wanting to cheat death by stealing life. That basically is the Law of the Jungle. Making their victim(s) a sacrifice or scapegoat for their sins or sour grapes. The sins cause death. But there is also the issue not only of the problem of the transfer of sins, but of the sourcing of life from their victims (done through the blood, spirit, unseen and seen) [with lawful transfer exceptions being the bankruptcy hadith & bankruptcy ayats, as well as, story of Abel vs Cain]. The remedy to the sourcing of the beings created by God is thus, to source God instead for Spirit, Life Spirit, Blessings, Provisions, etc. except where humans are permitted to lawfully transact by mutual consent. [Image on Jeremiah mentioning sour grapes.]



It is too much for someone already burdened to shoulder the burdens of others. Allah (swt) placed one heart in the human body not two. Image on [Not 2 Hearts in One Body also relates to a Word "Be" that removes Stow Aways within our Bodies. La Wazira.] 





Allah (swt) restores, rejuvenates, revives, reinvigorates, refreshes, regenerates life for each particular individual each day, and that supply does not seem to be enough for more than one, for each individual. It is to condemn "Spiritual Cannibalism". This is why each being responsible (and considerate) to bear their own burdens was echoed in both Holy Books. Eating or consuming life that is forbidden for consumption is in essence a revisit (on Earth) to the original sin of Eating from the Forbidden Tree in the Garden of Eden. Father Adam and Mother Eve (epbut) lost clearances to each of the 7 Gates of Heaven to the 1st Zone of the Earth. The Earth has 7 Zones. Hellfire has 7 Gates. If that sin is repeated on Earth, then does it not merit petitions to Allah (swt) for 7 more displacements for those adversaries that practice that wicked and unlawful practice of spiritual cannibalism. Then if it takes place in Zone 3 of the Earth then that is displacement to Gate 3 of Hell. If it takes place in Zone 5 of the Earth, then that is displacement to Gate 5 of Hell, and so on. This is beautiful vision for duas to Allah (swt) in cases that may merit this Justice from Allah. I have thought about this for many years and it does seem to be something that (based on the Holy Scriptures) is a reasonable petition to Allah (swt) for these types of activiities in the Spirit. Because those who turn to Allah (swt) and accept Him are to no longer be tried by the Forbidden Tree if Allah accepts their turning to Him (swt).
