Keys to the Heavens. Keys to the Treasures of the Heavens and Earth. Belong to God Alone.

Bismi Allahi Al Rahmani Al Raheemi
ASA WR WB to believing Muslim Friends

When someone says, "Rest in Heaven." about a dearly departed; or asks you to say to a dearly departed, "Rest in Heaven"...my thoughts go to these areas:

With Him are the keys of the unseen, the treasures that none knoweth but He. He knoweth whatever there is on the earth and in the sea. Not a leaf doth fall but with His knowledge: there is not a grain in the darkness (or depths) of the earth, nor anything fresh or dry (green or withered), but is (inscribed) in a record clear (to those who can read). ~ Surahtul Anam Ayat 156

To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth: and those who reject the Signs of God,- it is they who will be in loss. ~ Surahtul Zumar Ayat 63

 To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth: He enlarges and restricts. The Sustenance to whom He will: for He knows full well all things. ~ Surahtul Shura Ayat 12

Say: "I have no power over any good or harm to myself except as God willeth. If I had knowledge of the unseen, I should have multiplied all good, and no evil should have touched me: I am but a warner, and a bringer of glad tidings to those who have faith." ~ Surahtul Araf Ayat 188

[Said Prophet Nuhi (may eternal peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)]
"I tell you not that with me are the treasures of God, nor do I know what is hidden, nor claim I to be an angel. Nor yet do I say, of those whom your eyes do despise that God will not grant them (all) that is good: God knoweth best what is in their souls: I should, if I did, indeed be a wrong-doer (Zalimun)." ~ Surahtul Hudi Ayat 31

[More from Nabi Nuhi (as)]
Noah
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
[71:1]
We sent Noah to his People (with the Command): "Do thou warn thy People before there comes to them a grievous Penalty."
[71:2]
He said: "O my People! I am to you a Warner, clear and open:
[71:3]
"That ye should worship God, fear Him and obey me:
[71:4]
"So He may forgive you your sins and give you respite for a stated Term: for when the Term given by God is accomplished, it cannot be put forward: if ye only knew."
[71:5]
He said: "O my Lord! I have called to my People night and day:
[71:6]
"But my call only increases (their) flight (from the Right).
[71:7]
"And every time I have called to them, that Thou mightest forgive them, they have (only) thrust their fingers into their ears, covered themselves up with their garments, grown obstinate, and given themselves up to arrogance.
[71:8]
"So I have called to them aloud;
[71:9]
"Further I have spoken to them in public and secretly in private,
[71:10]
"Saying, ’Ask forgiveness from your Lord; for He is Oft-Forgiving;
[71:11]
"’He will send rain to you in abundance;
[71:12]
"’Give you increase in wealth and sons; and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers (of flowing water).
[71:13]
"’What is the matter with you, that ye place not your hope for kindness and long-suffering in God,-
[71:14]
"’Seeing that it is He that has created you in diverse stages?
[71:15]
"’See ye not how God has created the seven heavens one above another,
[71:16]
"’And made the moon a light in their midst, and made the sun as a (Glorious) Lamp?
[71:17]
"’And God has produced you from the earth growing (gradually),
[71:18]
"’And in the End He will return you into the (earth), and raise you forth (again at the Resurrection)?
[71:19]
"’And God has made the earth for you as a carpet (spread out),
[71:20]
"’That ye may go about therein, in spacious roads.’"
[71:21]
Noah said: "O my Lord! They have disobeyed me, but they follow (men) whose wealth and children give them no increase but only Loss.
[71:22]
"And they have devised a tremendous Plot.
[71:23]
"And they have said (to each other), ’Abandon not your gods: Abandon neither Wadd nor Suwa’, neither Yaguth nor Ya’uq, nor Nasr’;-
[71:24]
"They have already misled many; and grant Thou no increase to the wrong- doers but in straying (from their mark)."
[71:25]
Because of their sins they were drowned (in the flood), and were made to enter the Fire (of Punishment): and they found- in lieu of God- none to help them.
[71:26]
And Noah, said: "O my Lord! Leave not of the Unbelievers, a single one on earth!
[71:27]
"For, if Thou dost leave (any of) them, they will but mislead Thy devotees, and they will breed none but wicked ungrateful ones.
[71:28]
"O my Lord! Forgive me, my parents, all who enter my house in Faith, and (all) believing men and believing women: and to the wrong-doers grant Thou no increase but in perdition!"

Are minor infringements in Faith more enormous than the Idolatry of Ancient Greece and Rome?

The Romans

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

[30:1]

A. L. M.

[30:2]

The Roman Empire has been defeated-

[30:3]

In a land close by; but they, (even) after (this) defeat of theirs, will soon be victorious-

[30:4]

Within a few years. With God is the Decision, in the past and in the Future: on that Day shall the Believers rejoice-

[30:5]

With the help of God. He helps whom He will, and He is exalted in might, most merciful.

[30:6]

(It is) the promise of God. Never does God depart from His promise: but most men understand not.

I am going to try to give a perspective on something. Below I have placed a list of the ancient dieties worshiped by the Ancient Greeks and Romans. The reason that I placed them there was because if we look at the Chapter of the Romans Verse 2 above, Allah said that the Romans were defeated. This could mean a particular battle, but it could also mean that it suffered some loss or ruin. The next Ayat Allah (swt) says, that they will soon be victorious and it follows with that it is a Decision in the past and in the future. It could be that something that God intended was for the Romans to be part ruin and part successful or to experience a cyclical nature of that. It is my speculation that the “Ruin” comes from the pagan, hedonistic, corrupt past that had previously infiltrated religion and government with the Ancient Romans and Greeks.

Thus, the Romans have a gift from God, who is Allah, in the past and the future concerning victories and losses...successes and ruins.
On that day the believers shall rejoice. What I have noted that contemporary Romans have been exceptional (among the top in the world) in are areas of: Coffee or Cafes, Restaurants and Cuisine, Racing and other Auto manufacturing, Small motorized boats manufacturing like little sports cars used to get around the waterways in Italy, Architecture, Olive Oil cultivation and production, Clothing and Fashion, Shoe making, Engineering, Music, Paintings and Arts, Racing and other Bicycle manufacturing, Agricultural techniques...

The reason that I mention this is because of the Hadith about the 3 knots, and the Hadith about the closer than blood:

“Abu Huraira narrates that Allah's Apostle said, "Shaytan puts three knots at the back of the head of any of you if he is asleep. On every knot he reads and exhales the following words, 'The night is long, so stay asleep.' When one wakes up and remembers Allah, one knot is undone; and when one performs ablution, the second knot is undone, and when one prays (salah) the third knot is undone and one gets up energetic with a good heart in the morning; otherwise one gets up lazy and with a mischievous heart."” ~ Sahih Bukhari: 2.243

Hadeeth No. 1913 - Narrated Ali bin Al-Husain: Safiya, the wife of the Prophet told me that she went to Allah's Apostle to visit him in the mosque while he was in Itikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan. She had a talk with him for a while, then she got up in order to return home. The Prophet accompanied her. When they reached the gate of the mosque, opposite the door of Um-Salama, two Ansari men were passing by and they greeted Allah's Apostle . He told them: Do not run away! And said, "She is (my wife) Safiya bint Huyai." Both of them said, "Subhan Allah, (How dare we think of any evil) O Allah's Apostle!" And they felt it. The Prophet said (to them), "Satan reaches everywhere in the human body as blood reaches in it, (everywhere in one's body). I was afraid lest Satan might insert an evil thought in your minds." ~ Sahih Al Bukhari Book 33

They run counter to: The Quranul Kareem says at Surahtul Qaf Ayat 16, "It was We Who created man, and We know what dark suggestions his soul makes to him: for We are nearer to him than (his) jugular vein."

And in addition, Allah (swt) says, "For over My servants no authority shalt thou have, except such as put themselves in the wrong and follow thee." ~ Surahtul Hijr Ayat 42.

And, "No authority has he over those who believe and put their trust in their Lord. His authority is over those only, who take him as patron (Waliy) and who join partners with God (Mushrikun). Surahtul Nahl Ayats 98-99.

Those Hadiths could cause a light infringement to become a devastation that a person never recovers from. Sometimes a muslim needs to build up momentum in Faith over time. This Hadith could wipe out momentums by this assigning a of a Shaitan to a muslim for something like that. Sometimes Shaitans require Divine intervention to get free from. That means Allah sending Angels (Mikael, Jibreel, Israfeel), or Prophets, or Holy men and women. There are a couple of Hadiths that pronounce a similar curse of assigning a Shaitan that we in Al-Islam must be concerned about. Another, off the top of my head, is the Sahih Bukhari Hadith about the Shaitan reaching everywhere in the human body as the blood does. (No. 1913, Book 33). These Hadiths are giving too much license to Shaitans over muslims. We should not be requiring exorcists when we have Surahtul Nahli Ayats 98-99 which says, "And, "No authority has he over those who believe and put their trust in their Lord. His authority is over those only, who take him as patron (Waliy) and who join partners with God (Mushrikun)." And Allah (swt) is Most Wise. Those Hadiths make for peculiar words of salvation. Those Hadiths could cause sicknesses and ruin that are worse than attempting to climb out of a Roman ruin, who Allah (swt) turned to with an agreement, in spite of their pagan past. May the eternal peace and blessings of Allah (swt) be upon Nabi Muhammed and the righteous amongst his family and following.

In light of the ruin that such a condition could cause of a Shaitan being assigned to muslims we have to see that this makes a mild infringement more enormous than the paganism among Ancient Greeks and Romans. Because even they got an agreement with Allah that there would be a cycle of ruin and success or losses and gains. 

One of the main points that I was trying to get at about the Romans was that inspite of the paganism of the past, Romans past and present were/are very productive. They created many feats in engineering and architecture. Many of us do not have a history in paganism in Islam. But, are exceeded.  But then again if any of us were to transport back to the times of the Roman Empire and meet with ancestors in whatever part of the world then there is a chance that some of them may have been pagans. These types of hadiths manifest things in the Spirit that impede...they are harsh, unjust, devastating, ruinous, debilitating and disabling. I wanted to show the type of motorized boat that they have engineered for their waterways. This is not a renounciation of the next life for the things of the dunya. I understand this. I also understand that we have a duty to be productive and fulfill obligations. But, in addition, to smashing successes in coffee, cars, fashion, shoes, architecture (just about all industries) the contemporary Romans are quite successful with selling these little boat yachts...and they cost a lot of money. Thus in addition to taking a lesson from the Bees...we could take a lesson from the Romans. May have to click the link the owner of this YouTube vid only allows viewing of this on YouTube.

A Shaitan blowing knots upon a muslim or mumin that may be dragging their feet on some days, while attempting to build up momentum in their ibadah and productive life is harsh and unjust. The Sheikh and others who use this hadith might say well we are pronouncing it upon those who are inactive about a certain thing. But, I respond with 2 examples that I will list here of how I respond to those who were inactive about certain things with me among the wealthy brothers and sisters. First I represented this African American Muslim manufacturer of botanicals soaps, shampoos, hair oils, body milks and body butters. I will blur the image and not disclose their name because I no longer work with them and no longer endorse them. But, I was attempting to contact our wealthy Arab importers/exporters and distributors for the sale of 30 – 20 ft containers of a particular extremely pure and fragrance free soap that could have been used for the Hajj seasons. I got a lot of “No's” and it was extremely difficult to find ease and facility in the process of making contacts.

Another time it involved tee-shirts. I needed to move 100,000 teeshirts. I was told, “We are not interested.”. I did not pronounce a curse upon them for being inactive about a matter.

The Noah's Ark tees contain a verse of Quran but does not include the Names of Allah.
