Acts of Worship and Ibadah to God.

Bismi Allahi Al Rahmani Al Raheemi
ASA WR WB to believing Muslim friends.

We have acts of worship to Allah (swt) or Ibadah, all of which are technically direct, but could be viewed as indirect and direct worship of Him (swt). Example here of direct acts of worship or ibadah to God. Any of these images can be clicked to enlarge for better viewing.

But also need to add 2 more to the Core Pillars of Faith.

Allah (swt) has indicated in the Gospel and Quran some Laws to Preserve our Sacred Rights to Faith in Him and Worship of Him (swt). Because God does wish to Preserve Faith in Him and Worship of Him (swt). That we as humans and those of the Jinns do not have the right to through hate (anger); intellectual superiority, insult and slander (idiot); nor cursing another of Faith and innocence; cause the loss of Faith and Worship in God (all 3 of those being very destructive to their Faith and lives) as in Gospel Matt 5:21-26. Nor to directly oppose another person's right to Faith and Worship of God as in HQ 96:9-19. Nor in Matt 18:6 deliberately cause someone to lose Faith and Worship in God.

But look below at all these other peaceful acts of Ibadah and these are just some of the others.

Over the years I have made it about a 15-year mission to commemorate the Anbiya of Productivity. Here are a few others of the acts of Ibadah that technically are direct but may be considered by some people as indirect acts of Ibadah. 

Nabi Salih (epbuh) - productivity & righteousness in the land are acts of ibadah to Allah (swt). And Allah (swt) has said that it is the Salihun that shall inherit the Earth. So, it is necessary to take as many lessons from Nabi Salih (epbuh) as is possible to know what Allah (swt) is looking for in that category.

Nabi Shuaybi (epbuh) - measuring with just scales after fair markups and the rulers giving to the people what is their due are acts of ibadah to Allah (swt).

 

Nabi Isa (epbuh) - productivity. Fig Tree. 3 Servants handed bags of gold and the ROI are acts of ibadah to Allah (swt). 

Nabi Sulaimon (epbuh) - productivity is mentioned many times in his Proverbs. Here is one.

Nabi Yusuf (epbuh) - Optimal quality of life. Golden Mean. Don't spend to the Maximus but live in Optimus and save (store) what is in excess of Optimus for periods of Minimus (to draw on savings to maintain Optimus) as well as Stores or Markets and Charity as Nabi Yusuf (epbuh) showed us. These are acts of ibadah to Allah (swt). 

Nabi Idris (epbuh) - Study. Education are acts of ibadah to Allah (swt).

Nabi Ibrahim (epbuh) - Fulfilling obligations and engagements are acts of ibadah to Allah (swt).

 

Nabi Muhammad (epbuh) - Not hindering from the Paths of Allah, Paths of Righteousness are acts of ibadah to Allah (swt).

Nabi Luti (epbuh) - Heterosexuality is an act of Ibadah to Allah. Although not to take place in the Masjids even during Itikaf.

Nabi Muhammad (epbuh) - Working towards the Change (Bariyu) that you seek from Allah (swt) and making the necessary Changes for the Help (Nasiru) that you seek from Allah are acts of Ibadah.

Nabi Muhammad (epbuh) - The Power of Suggestions. Giving good suggestions and recommendations, as well as, supporting good causes are acts of Ibadah to Allah (swt) that will actually manifest good or bad deeds (in the cases of giving bad suggestions) upon the Scales of Judgement for those individuals. And there are more recipes/formulas to explore that are acts of Ibadah to Allah (swt).

The Rich. The Poor. The Laws and Lessons of Ibadah from The Anbiya. The Scales and The Deeds which Prepare us for...The Death and The Day.

We suggest to the rich to give to the poor (which mind you they are not compelled to do, and this must remain clear). We do not suggest to the poor to remain poor. We talk to the poor about faith, hope and gratitude to Allah for what is, now and current, and although thin is not worse. We talk about that all blessings, provisions, beautitudes, etc. are in Allah's Hands to distribute or not distribute. We talk about righteousness and productivity, Nabi Salih (epbuh). Please click any of these graphics to enlarge if not legible.

We talk about study, education, discipline, and expertise, Nabi Idris (epbuh). 

We talk about weighing with just scales after fair markups of our products, and the giving to the people the things that are due to them, Nabi Shuaybi (epbuh). 

We talk about living within the Golden Mean or Optimus or Optimal Quality of life and the saving or storing of the excesses in Maximus periods of earnings or sales for use of that excess that was saved in Minimus periods to maintain Optimus throughout both periods, and that trade and charity from those stores or savings were still conducted, Nabi Yusuf (epbuh). 

We talk about fulfilling obligations and engagements, Nabi Ibrahim (epbuh). 

We talk about Allah (swt) marshalling people forward and telling His (swt) Angels (as) to ask the people being marshalled forth, "In what plight were ye on Earth" They answer, "Weak and oppressed." The Angels (as) answer, "Was not My Earth spacious enough for you to move yourselves away from evil? Cast them into Hellfire." For they had been categorized as Zalimun, that due to poverty they succumbed to Zalim. He (swt) will also ask His (swt) Angels (as) to ask, "What is the matter with you? Why didn't ye help one another?" 

We also tell them about Sheba (as) or the Chapter of Sheba, when people asked Allah (swt) to make the journey stages longer that He said in the Ayah prior to this ask what He had done, "We properly measured the distances of the journey stages." But the making of the journey stages longer caused Zalim to grow and they succumbed to become Zalimun. So while Allah (swt) is with the patient ones or Musabirun, Baqarah 153, He (swt) does not prefer making the journey stages of life longer than they naturally should be because it will cultivate Zalim or injustice and that will cultivate desperation. 

We know by the late Hafizul Quran Abdullah Yusuf Ali (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that a defining quality in the meaning of the name of the evil one is desperation. Thus, we do not wish to be cultivators of desperation. Because desperation can be a breeding ground for evil, wickedness and rebelliousness. 

Asking for what is natural is not asking for lavish opulence. It is not advised to live life to the Maximus nor to the Minimus but to the Optimus by Nabi Yusuf (epbuh). This is what I learned from him (as) through the Holy Sacred Nabi Muhammad (epbuh). I will leave the graphic images of these verses if I can. In conclusion we suggest to the rich to give to the poor, but not suggest to the poor to remain poor. But give them hope, the possibilities good and bad, relevance of gratitude and other integral remaining points above. Lastly, in advising the poor to the preparation for death it cannot be in the absence of the mention of the purpose of topic and of faith itself which are the Scales of Judgment and the stacking of good deeds upon them and the not stacking of bad deeds upon them. And to the absolute embrace of all aspects of ibadah mentioned above from the Nabi (saws) and other Holy Anbiya (epbut) although not all of them are mentioned. Nabi Luti (epbuh), for example, and heterosexuality is another measure of preparation for death and the stacking of good deeds in being in complicity with this type of ibadah to Allah (swt) in life. 

So embodying and embracing each of the Sacred Laws and Lessons of the Anbiya (epbut) are preparations for death and the stacking of good deeds upon the Scales in preparation for the Day of Judgment before Allah (swt)

Also, something that we have to beware of in our relations on Earth in preparation for The Day are the Bankruptcies. There are Bankruptcy Ayats (The Hinderings in Muhammad 1, 32. 33, 34 and Bees 88), but I will leave here the Bankruptcy Hadith.

Aoudhubillahi minal Shaitanir Rajeem

May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon Nabi Muhammad (epbuh) for all the verses of His that I have used in my blogs; and upon all the other Prophets whose verses are mentioned here and in other blogs of mine.

ASA WR WB to believing Muslim friends:

In Bayaans and Khutbahs in Al Islam should be considered that we do not want to in warning to beware of Shaitan, to then actually give license or leverage to Shaitans over other innocent people of Faith. There are a number of reasons why, that I will give below these two examples of Hadiths, that do the very thing that we do not want to do to one another in Al Islam. We do not want to use Command or Amr to bring these things into reality for people coming to the Masjid. Fortunately, but unfortunately, there are only a dozen or more of these types of Hadiths that we must beware of speaking into being with Command or Amr. If any of these graphics cannot be read, then please click them to enlarge them.

Here are some verses from Quran and Bible as to why this is unreasonable and irrational to do to the fellowship of Al Islam and how it conflicts with the concept of Salvation that Faith in Allah invites to.

We have to remember there are people that are wanting to be saved from Hellfire and Evil. They are wanting the Masjids and places of worship to be asylums against evil, wickedness and rebelliousness and not places where those are dispensed. Don't (slay, curse, assist enemies against) ransom or hand over the Juumat to the Shaitan. Do shepherds like to hand over sheep to wolves? Typically, they dislike that idea. If a Sheikh gives those 2 Hadith Amr, is he not handing over (or giving license) to an evil principality those believers he is speaking the 2 Hadiths to? I will start with the first reasons why:

1. Do not (slay, curse, assist enemies against, or) ransom other innocent believers off who have the intentions of aligning themselves with the Commands and Laws of God (Allah). 

2. When it is concerning an evil principality and the ransoming of an innocent believing Muslim to them it could qualify as a curse because of the evil, wicked and rebellious work that the evil principality could perform on the person in the unseen and the loss of Faith that all that wicked work would cause.

3. Allah (swt) gave a Law and Beneficial Ruling on something. He (swt) made something Prohibited, and thus Haram. He forbade cohabitation with Jinns, Jinnies, Genies. In accepting the testimony of the Jinns in Surahtul Jinn Ayah 6 to be included in His Holy Book for instructing His subjects, it can easily be argued that Allah (swt) rules against cohabitation with Jinns.

Thus, in this way, Allah (swt) gave a Ruling that no Jinns could live in the homes, bodies, etc. of His subjects, and that His subjects could not live in the homes, persons, etc. of Jinns.

In this Ruling from Allah (swt) is benefit to His human subjects that are under His Protection. In this Ruling from Allah (swt) is Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness because He allowed the Jinn testimony to be quoted in His Holy Scriptures that cohabitation with Jinns would increase humans in folly.

So, in pronouncing those above Hadiths, then, are the speaking of them into existence consistent or conflicting with this Ayah in Surahtul Jinn? One Hadith sends an evil Jinn to the home of a believer to put 3 knots upon the believer late for Fajr, and the other sends an evil Jinn to their body. But, Allah (swt) has instructed no cohabitation with them. Then, if it is conflicting with what Allah (swt) has Commanded, Willed and Desired for His subjects then not only is it Bidah, but Najwa as well. The Quran and the Bible do assign Shaitans in various passages, but the person has to be doing the things that those passages and the passages of context are speaking against.

Allah (swt) further Ruled that we not traffic or trade with the Jinns. "One day will He gather them all together, (and say): "O ye assembly of Jinns! Much (toll) did ye take of men." Their friends amongst men will say: "Our Lord! we made profit from each other: but (alas!) we reached our term - which thou didst appoint for us." He will say: "The Fire be your dwelling-place: you will dwell therein forever, except as God willeth." for thy Lord is full of wisdom and knowledge." ~ Surahtul Anam 128

It is through productivity that we work righteousness in the land and work the maintenance of Faith thus to accumulate good deeds upon our scales. Do we work productivity to use the resources gained thereby for righteousness and the maintenance of Faith thus, for the purpose of harvesting curses, spells, vexations, afflictions, torments and misery at the hands of evil principalities? Doesn't that frustrate good and righteousness in the land? Nabi Sulaimon (epbuh) said in a Proverb, "If you continue to reward good with evil then evil will never leave your house." ~ Proverb 17:13

There is one of those assignments by Quran, or in this case Bible, that I was speaking about earlier.

4. In opening up or exposing innocent believing people of Faith to evil principalities brings about other violations such as activations around mediums, psychics, witchcraft, sorcery, magic, casting of spells, etc. This activity could be ruinous to a human's life. Again, referencing the Ayah above against trade with Jinns, Allah (swt) said that "much toll did (the Jinns) take of men." So, the medium, psychic, etc. activities would take a tremendous toll on men, as well.

5. Cancel not your Charity by insult, injury or reminders of your generosity. Evil principalities unjustly assigned can be injurious, insulting and oppressive (spiritually and physically).

It's an insult. Many people coming to the Masjids are poor or disadvantaged. To add spiritual oppression from evil principalities to the material and financial oppression they already have is insulting but also ruinous. Kind of the worst of both worlds. The poor are often looking for hope, salvation, truth, etc. and God. Faith was the grace and dignity upon the poor in the past in the face of and navigation of poverty.

6. In addition, with it being in conflict with Allah's Divine Plan and Design for His subjects (or Bidah) it is Najwa. Najwa is to secretly involve someone in plans that they did not consent to be involved in. It is a Najwa but further the evil principalities assigned practice Najwa (they will act and be in conflict with the Divine Order) Below I will give multiple examples of Najwa. 

In Bayaans and Khutbahs in Al Islam should be considered that we do not want to in warning to beware of Shaitan, to then actually give license or leverage to Shaitans over other innocent people of Faith. Aoudhubillahi minal Shaitanir rajeem.
