The Forbidden Tree of Life, Encore?

If eating of the Forbidden Tree of Life got Adam & Eve (∞ pbut) expelled from Paradise to Earth, then, would repeating that on earth get people expelled from Earth to Hell? & could the Forbidden Tree of Life on earth be considered the "Blood", especially the human circulatory systems? Reference: Leviticus 17.

Leviticus 17 Eating Blood Forbidden 1 The LORD said to Moses (∞ saws), 2 "Speak to Aaron (∞ saws) and his sons and to all the Israelites and say to them: 'This is what the LORD has commanded: 3 Any Israelite who sacrifices an ox, a lamb or a goat in the camp or outside of it 4 instead of bringing it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting to present it as an offering to the LORD in front of the tabernacle of the LORD--that man shall be considered guilty of bloodshed; he has shed blood and must be cut off from his people. 5 This is so the Israelites will bring to the LORD the sacrifices they are now making in the open fields. They must bring them to the priest, that is, to the LORD, at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and sacrifice them as fellowship offerings. 6 The priest is to sprinkle the blood against the altar of the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and burn the fat as an aroma pleasing to the LORD. 7 They must no longer offer any of their sacrifices to the goat idols to whom they prostitute themselves. This is to be a lasting ordinance for them and for the generations to come.' 8 "Say to them: 'Any Israelite or any alien living among them who offers a burnt offering or sacrifice 9 and does not bring it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting to sacrifice it to the LORD--that man must be cut off from his people. 10 " 'Any Israelite or any alien living among them who eats any blood--I will set my face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from his people. 11 For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one's life. 12 Therefore I say to the Israelites, "None of you may eat blood, nor may an alien living among you eat blood." 13 " 'Any Israelite or any alien living among you who hunts any animal or bird that may be eaten must drain out the blood and cover it with earth, 14 because the life of every creature is its blood. That is why I have said to the Israelites, "You must not eat the blood of any creature, because the life of every creature is its blood; anyone who eats it must be cut off." 15 " 'Anyone, whether native-born or alien, who eats anything found dead or torn by wild animals must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be ceremonially unclean till evening; then he will be clean. 16 But if he does not wash his clothes and bathe himself, he will be held responsible.' " [Here the words foreigners and aliens are interchanged in different translations. Another translation of verses 7 & 8 is, "7 The people must no longer be unfaithful to the LORD by offering sacrifices to evil spirits out in the fields. This is a permanent law for them, to be kept generation after generation. 8 "Give them this command as well, which applies both to Israelites and to the foreigners living among you. If you offer a whole burnt offering or a sacrifice 9 and do not bring it to the entrance of the Tabernacle to offer it to the LORD, you will be cut off from the community."] ~ Kitab/Bible
It's a worthy topic because when you have people worshiping other humans for life; health and the healing from every known illness to man or in the American Medical Association, and for other things like; provisions; to be reborn; to be able to do all things through you [extremely problematic]; etc. then they are sourcing a human life or lives, instead of Sourcing Allah. May Allah be refuge from the evil one that originally tempted to taste the Forbidden Fruit & the 1s that continue to do so today. Ameen. (I like that hadith about how the ArchAngel Gabriel (∞ as) asked Nabi Muhammad (∞ saws) to choose between wine & milk, & the Nabi (saws) chose milk.) Obviously, if this were not a problem, then, Allah would have never mentioned it (blood) as forbidden in both scriptures. See blog: Concerning Sacrificial Offerings, Wazara or Vizier Abrogations, and Be Careful of Defiling Others.
"He hath only forbidden you dead meat, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and that on which any other name hath been invoked besides that of God. But if one is forced by necessity, without wilful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits,- then is he guiltless. For God is Oft-forgiving Most Merciful." ~ HQ 2:173
There is just a little more critically important detail in Leviticus 17 on why it is forbidden that allows the reader to surmise why someone would want to drink blood. Aoudhubillahi. But, waking up in India with a kidney stolen is making the concept of organ transplants a Forbidden Tree of Life scenario, instead of a consenting act of charity. #InnaLillahiWaInnaaIlaihiRajeun 

This blog post was originally written in 2011 when the incident took place in India and in 2022 I have appended these events to this same blog post. Initially I was somewhat judgmental as you can see in top 2 paragraphs here but have since then simmered down. I mean I was a moderate in those days but very much against being sourced in the Spirit and the Flesh in these types of ways. I do believe that moderation, patience, prayer is key to getting through fitnah in the ghaib (Turmoil and torment in the unseen).
1st video is of a bad doctor that was stealing organs from India Muslims.
2nd video is Afghan desperate conditions causing people to sell kidneys. Year 2022
3rd video is when 50 Nigerian Women were trafficked in Lebanon. Year 2020
4th video is of immigrants to Egypt having to sell kidneys in Egypt to get money. Year 2020
5th video was a modern-day slavery in Libya. Year 2020
Not a lot of news agencies in the US reported this information. This information is very concerning for African American Muslims because we tend to be more susceptible to having low wealth and this makes the risks to making Hijrah to these places when these activities are happening a recipe for problems. Al Jazeera, France 24, DW News and South China Morning Post reported these stories.
This was not composed to make a mockery or insult of these countries nor of the economic conditions of these countries nor of the people who were the victims of these misfortunes. It is important to know this information if you are considering making hijrah (migrating) travelling etc. African American Muslims tend to be susceptible to poverty or low wealth count and so this information is valuable.
See videos below:


This was the situation in India in which India Muslims were having their kidneys stolen from them.

Libya was very dangerous during this time. Unsure if it continues but they were imposing Modern Day Slavery.
Must be careful of human trafficking and modern slavery in Libya which may have networks to other parts of North Africa.

The Value of Abel's life in light of today's frequent killings.


Mount Sinai


With so much killing and attempted killing taking place in the news...do we really reflect today on the enormity of taking another man or woman's life? With all of humanity being descended from Father Adam and Mother Eve (pbut), we must take a lesson from the story of brothers Cain and Abel. Many are, already, familiar with the story...Cain and Abel offered sacrifices to the One God and Creator of Father Adam (pbuh), it was accepted of Abel, but, not accepted of Cain. The jealousy of Cain led him to the slaughter of his brother Abel. The Quran and the Bible are on the same page, as far as, that is concerned. However, the Quran sheds a bit of interesting light on something and that is the impact of the slaughter of Abel upon the family, blood-line or offspring (seed) of Abel. The position of the Quran is that Cain did not only slay Abel alone, but, that he slew the entire "Nation" of Abel...future children and grand-children and the multitude of generations that would have been sprung from Abel. I think that if combatants only considered this (on either sides of the fence), the enormous cost of taking the life of another brother sprung from Adam, there would be less killing taking place. If they were made to wander as Cain was...made....the penalty being manifest as it was/is during the Days of the Almighty God (Yahweh, Al Huwa), then perhaps more peace on earth. It is not something only binding of the Children of Israel, but, upon muslims and all who are descended from Father Adam (pbuh).
Another interesting perspective is found in the Lost Books of Enoch, where a description is given of the soul of a man ascending unto the very Gates of Heaven and brings forth a case against Cain and the seed of Cain. So that, in addition, to the penalty of wandering the zones of the earth, there are these continuous, forth coming, charges against Cain by Abel and concerning Abel's seed, that was destroyed in destroying him. This would certainly make a case for peace on earth between warring men...between warring brothers and sons of Adam (infinite peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and mother Eve). Too much killing has been going on. An indication of the lack of regard for the life of another (human) can be seen in those that disregard Kosher & Halal/Zabiha laws. They are not considering, enough, the fact that Allah gave those animals lives & that they must acknowledge that fact in their request for the animals flesh as food, and in what kinds of activities are conducted by the continuity of life granted in the slaughter/sacrifice of animals for food. Thus, it is, evidently, natural to understand that Ad Dawwab will then subjugate those that reject Allah, His Books, and His Prophets (infinite saws).

Holy Bible:
1 Now Adam slept with his wife, Eve, and she became pregnant. When the time came, she gave birth to Cain, and she said, "With the LORD's help, I have brought forth a man!" 2 Later she gave birth to a second son and named him Abel.When they grew up, Abel became a shepherd, while Cain was a farmer. 3 At harvesttime Cain brought to the LORD a gift of his farm produce, 4 while Abel brought several choice lambs from the best of his flock. The LORD accepted Abel and his offering, 5 but he did not accept Cain and his offering. This made Cain very angry and dejected.6 "Why are you so angry?" the LORD asked him. "Why do you look so dejected? 7 You will be accepted if you respond in the right way. But if you refuse to respond correctly, then watch out! Sin is waiting to attack and destroy you, and you must subdue it." 8 Later Cain suggested to his brother, Abel, "Let's go out into the fields." And while they were there, Cain attacked and killed his brother. 9 Afterward the LORD asked Cain, "Where is your brother? Where is Abel?""I don't know!" Cain retorted. "Am I supposed to keep track of him wherever he goes?" 10 But the LORD said, "What have you done? Listen -- your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground! 11You are hereby banished from the ground you have defiled with your brother's blood. 12 No longer will it yield abundant crops for you, no matter how hard you work! From now on you will be a homeless fugitive on the earth, constantly wandering from place to place." 13 Cain replied to the LORD, "My punishment is too great for me to bear! 14 You have banished me from my land and from your presence; you have made me a wandering fugitive. All who see me will try to kill me!" 15The LORD replied, "They will not kill you, for I will give seven times your punishment to anyone who does." Then the LORD put a mark on Cain to warn anyone who might try to kill him. 16 So Cain left the LORD's presence and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden. 17 Then Cain's wife became pregnant and gave birth to a son, and they named him Enoch. When Cain founded a city, he named it Enoch after his son. 18 Enoch was the father of Irad. Irad was the father of Mehujael. Mehujael was the father of Methushael. Methushael was the father of Lamech. 19 Lamech married two women -- Adah and Zillah. 20 Adah gave birth to a baby named Jabal. He became the first of the herdsmen who live in tents. 21 His brother's name was Jubal, the first musician -- the inventor of the harp and flute. 22 To Lamech's other wife, Zillah, was born Tubal-cain. He was the first to work with metal, forging instruments of bronze and iron. Tubal-cain had a sister named Naamah.23 One day Lamech said to Adah and Zillah, "Listen to me, my wives. I have killed a youth who attacked and wounded me. 24 If anyone who kills Cain is to be punished seven times, anyone who takes revenge against me will be punished seventy-seven times!" 25 Adam slept with his wife again, and she gave birth to another son. She named him Seth, for she said, "God has granted me another son in place of Abel, the one Cain killed." 26 When Seth grew up, he had a son and named him Enosh. It was during his lifetime that people first began to worship the LORD.

[What does it mean for someone to receive 7 times what the Lord punished Cain with? It reads, "11You are hereby banished from the ground you have defiled with your brother's blood. 12 No longer will it yield abundant crops for you, no matter how hard you work! From now on you will be a homeless fugitive on the earth, constantly wandering from place to place." So that would mean 7 expulsions, {which means, that if the earth has 7 zones as spoken in the Quran, "God is He Who created seven Firmaments and of the earth a similar number. Through the midst of them (all) descends His Command: that ye may know that God has power over all things, and that God comprehends, all things in (His) Knowledge." ~ Al Talaq 12; and Hell has 7 gates, "To it are seven gates: for each of those gates is a (special) class (of sinners) assigned." ~ Al Hijr 44. Cain was expelled from the 1st zone of the earth leaving for 6 zones of possible expulsions left of the earth plus expelled from 1st gate of Hell into the 2nd gate of Hell {equaling 7 expulsions} for those that would kill Cain...depending upon which zone of the earth it took place in.} In addition, 7 times no yield on the crops, 7 times the homelessness and wandering.]

Holy Quran:
[5:27] Recite to them the truth of the story of the two sons of Adam. Behold! they each presented a sacrifice (to Allah.: It was accepted from one, but not from the other. Said the latter: "Be sure I will slay thee." "Surely," said the former, "(Allah) doth accept of the sacrifice of those who are righteous.

[5:28] "If thou dost stretch thy hand against me, to slay me, it is not for me to stretch my hand against thee to slay thee: for I do fear Allah, the cherisher of the worlds.

[5:29] "For me, I intend to let thee draw on thyself my sin as well as thine, for thou wilt be among the companions of the fire, and that is the reward of those who do wrong."

[5:30] The (selfish) soul of the other led him to the murder of his brother: he murdered him, and became (himself) one of the lost ones.

[5:31] Then Allah sent a raven, who scratched the ground, to show him how to hide the shame of his brother. "Woe is me!" said he; "Was I not even able to be as this raven, and to hide the shame of my brother?" then he became full of regrets-

[5:32] On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people (nation): and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people (nation). Then although there came to them Our apostles with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land.

The Lost Book of Enoch:
1. And thence I went to another place, and he showed me in the west another great and high mountain [and] of hard rock.
E
2 And there was in it four hollow places, deep and wide and very smooth. How smooth are the hollow places and deep and dark to look at.
Gg
2. And there were four hollow places in it, deep and very smooth: three of them were dark and one bright; and there was a fountain of water in its midst. And I said: 'How smooth are these hollow places, and deep and dark to view.'
3. Then Raphael answered, one of the holy angels who was with me, and said unto me: 'These hollow places have been created for this very purpose, that the spirits of the souls of the dead should assemble therein, yea that all the souls of the children of men should assemble here. And these places have been made to receive them till the day of their judgement and till their appointed period till the period appointed, till the great judgement (comes) upon them.'
E
5. I saw the spirits of the children of men who were dead, and their voice went forth to heaven and made suit.
5. I saw (the spirit of) a dead man making suit, and his voice went forth to heaven and made suit.
6. Then I asked Raphael the angel who was with me, and I said unto him: 'This spirit--whose is it whose voice goeth forth and maketh suit?'
Gg
6. And I asked Raphael the angel who was with me, and I said unto him: 'This spirit which maketh suit, whose is it, whose voice goeth forth and maketh suit to heaven?'
7. And he answered me saying: 'This is the spirit which went forth from Abel, whom his brother Cain slew, and he makes his suit against him till his seed is destroyed from the face of the earth, and his seed is annihilated from amongst the seed of men.'
