There are some challenging things happening online.

ASA WR WB to believing Muslim friends.

I'm not sad in this post. No tears due to treatment. Straight reporting facts to consider.
There are some challenging things happening online.
Before my 3 In_sta business accounts were permanently suspended along with their corresponding 3 Th_reads business accounts (I believe associated with a post warning Muslims against using yo_ga due to i_dol of sh_iva in back of yo_ga class, but to use Pilates instead. But that may have conflicted with community standards resulting in Zu_ck or one of his team permanently suspending all 6 accounts)...that is problem because In_sta is deep potential business...but already I was having deep problems with dm's not being read or sent or erased and a lot of bizarre problems. I once asked Th_reads to feature Incremental Gains 4 and 5, and got no reply. But later saw them feature a tr_ans with Edward Scissor hands referencing the snipping of pine needle bunches on pine trees. I'm sitting there like, dudes that got your feature?
Similar thing is happening on TikTok where dm's are not being read and then did a little digging to find out that is a notorious glitch on TikTok that garners plenty of complaints. Weird problems. No responses to posts, dm's.

In posting this yesterday I went so much into backstory that I forgot to make my point. In reaching out to Hijabi social media influencers there's an interesting thing I've observed. Many of them very brilliantly are under talent agencies. Their particular talent agents will screen their emails. If the email that you send seems suspect, they may not forward it to the model. That is interesting in that now there's yet another challenge or obstacle to just natural communication between members of a Faith group. From a practical standpoint it makes sense, however. There are a lot of con and scam cells in different parts of the world. But how many other religious groups or even demographic groups have these many barriers to effective communications with other members? Communications rooted in building support (that potentially mutually enriches in the convo) via working righteousness, doing right living and doing good in the land. Also added text images of "traffic and trade by mutual goodwill" as an act of ibadah to this post and both blogs below. Supporting the Ayah with the Hadith "Who is supporting him? askled by the Nabi (epbuh).

X formerly Twitter has had the French questioning if they have created echo environments. Post to Musk, "Yo get me right that Tariff War cost me important holiday work this season. Reshare these 4 releases and it is the easiest Cybertruck sale ever", but really I at that time had been talking a lot on Agri-hoods and still am and did not factor at tweet moment. Had Ai calculate the installation of Solarcity Tiles and Powerwalls on approx 62 double lots and in short would have come to about $8mil in orders to Musk. It, depending on the downloads, could have returned in that amount for him. But it is all good, Allah (swt) is good, and I made the efforts.

So, go to Mu_slim_Pro and get on the community feed called Um_mah_Pro, currently with 180mil subscribers and over 30mil monthly users and at first was able to post cover art to my music. Even contacted by email them for a 50/50 split to provide relief in war torn country in desperate need. They'd get half. I recommended non-kick and non-snare beats like Almost Meditative, Mediterranean Diet Calculations and probably the kick and snare Doses of Peace and probably some others. Didn't happen. I reached out to help, and I do not accept any false narratives that I did not care about that situation. Today even in the vid I'll add they are still raising money for it and you'll see on the top ribbon of the vid. But this is something similar that we were seeing in Islamic Facebook groups...a kind of banishment of trade, as if it is haram. The only thing haram about trade is cheating, stealing, lying and deceiving people. How many years have I stood now on the Productivity Prophets (epbut) and the other acts of Ibadah to Allah (swt)? Subhan Allah to the Glory of Allah (swt)? Almost 2 decades now. May Allah (swt) Accept it. Allahumma Ameen. Talking about Yusufian Order, Measuring with Just Scales, Traffic and Trade between you by mutual goodwill, fulfilling obligations and engagements, etc. etc. So, now we are in the position to help someone, and it is lift a finger easy for them to do so if everything is legit and not pulling any brothers or sisters off of their squares and won't do it even if it is a dollar and 180mil subscribers [a feature and/or an email to subscribers of a few beats and that's wisdom] and the person is in need of some help, and there is a crisis situation in need of some help so they get half from the one asking. AstaghfirAllah. Asceticism can be ruinous. But worse than that is not being able to retreat to your team. Getting covert lone wolf treatment on the other platforms and then going to your team and it is beriddling.

When a Muslim with testimony asks for help in a way that enriches the one who helps in Islam, that opportunity then going in the trash is too rich. Not understanding that traffic and trade is an act of Ibadah and declaring it haram within the context of Holy Scripture (it is even technically Lawful to do business during the Hajj) but then making it haram is a beriddling unkindness, because what if someone needs the help. Has it been made haram to help each other in these types of ways? My beats are not exactly a "Liverwurst Sandwich". Mind boggling. Reward good with good in addition to Astaghfir Allah's and it may repair a wrong done by another in the past using Hadiths. But Astaghfir Allah's only don't always cover it. Sometimes we have to do things to try to please Allah (swt) in addition to the 5-7 Pillars of Faith.

But to add 3 or 4 songs for them to feature in the app's below group with a 10% conversion to downloads and big problems solved along with seed money for business activity. It was a lost/lost/lost moment, because 3 parties lost on that no feature move. But there is no compulsion in religion or life. Money is nothing to lose the Heavens about, but it still should be sought to maintain oneself and help others with. I really have no idea why this is both dismissed as irrelevant and is a double standard at the same time. I cared and I tried. False to say I didn't. But it is still the Book of Wisdom, though, and always will be.

My Reflection on 3 topics that came up in 1st 25 minutes of Zaytuna College - In Mecca: Guiding a Community under Duress


 

Bismi Allahi Al Rahmani Al Raheemi

ASA WR WB to believing Muslim friends

I got a chance to catch a live virtual broadcast of a discussion by Zaytuna College #ZaytunaCollege. 3 respected Sheikhs were on the panel, and there were about 3 things that stood out to me. 1 of them I did comment about in the Live Chat only for another viewer to in a very nice way tell me to shut up and just listen. He actually said get a YouTube Channel and express your views but for now just listen. I then politely left the broadcast. We are challenged to listen, but we are also challenged to think.

It is with respect to those 3 Sheikhs along the lines of when a Imam is leading Salaat at Mecca for Tarawia, etc. and forgets a portion of Quran, and 1 of the brothers in the 1st row reminds him of the section he is forgetting. That protocol is pretty outstanding in my opinion. I really find that fascinating when it happens. Masha Allah I have finished this blog post, before football kickoff at noon.

The 3 things that stood out were:

1. When the Sheikh moderating asked other 2 Sheikhs about trials and tribulations and how in the past it increased people of Faith in Faith, but what is to be pulled from the Seerah or history of Al-Islam when trials and tribulations are causing people to lose Faith. 

Actually the reference that I have here is from Al Masihu Isa Ibn Maryam (epbut). The Millstone Passage. There is a duty upon the believer not to lose Faith in the face of trials, adversities and tribulations, however there is a cost to those other than Allah (swt) that want to put you to trial excessively. To say that that does not take place would be a bit shortsighted. Click any of the graphics to enlarge them.

So I will cite both passages here insha Allah:



2. The 2nd thing that stood out was when another Sheikh mentioned having a vertical association with all things good and bad as coming from Allah (swt).

The references that I have here are: 1. Allah is not a Zulmana in the Alamin. This is meaning that Allah (swt) does not practice Injustice or Wrongdoing in either the Seen or Unseen. It also means that Allah is not a Zalimun. But even further it means that Zalimun are not of Him (swt). 2. Is another beautiful example to this point and that is of Nabi Musa (epbuh) speaking to Firaun at 20:56-79. Firaun had decided that he wanted to pawn off Miracles of Allah (swt) as coming from his pagan idols or something to that effect. To which Nabi Musa wa Nabi Harun (epbut) were to the point that Allah does not practice Zulmana and is not a Zalimun. He is not associated with that idolatry. 3. That Allah is not Unjust is found in other parts of the Holy Scriptures. I will list a series of about 4 graphics to this point.









3. The 3rd thing that stood out was when the 3rd Sheikh mentioned 3 qualities or elements that contributed to past greatness of Islamic civilization (or something like that) But, one of the things he mentioned was the incredible generosity of the people of the past it was a common characteristic. I commented in the live chat that whenever Charity is mentioned we must remember to mention Trade one time as well. That in our minds we have to think 50/50 Trade and Charity. And that is when the guy, another viewer, told me to shut up and listen in a nice way.








It is with respect to those 3 Sheikhs along the lines of when a Imam is leading Salaat at Mecca for Tarawia, etc. and forgets a portion of Quran, and 1 of the brothers in the 1st row reminds him of the section he is forgetting. That protocol is pretty outstanding in my opinion. I really find that fascinating when it happens. Masha Allah I have finished this blog post, before football kickoff at noon. One last thing a Sheikh mentioned the passage of the overturning of the trade tables in the Temple (in the Biblical account) and Al-Islam has pockets of Asceticism in it, however, Allah (swt) has said that even in the performance of Hajj we can seek of the bounties of Allah (swt). So, in Hajj the trade tables are technically not overturned. I am not sure how many actually have interest in doing business while on Hajj, but it technically is not unlawful. Ayat is " It is no crime in you if ye seek of the bounty of your Lord (during pilgrimage). Then when ye pour down from (Mount) Arafat, celebrate the praises of God at the Sacred Monument, and celebrate His praises as He has directed you, even though, before this, ye went astray." ~ Surahtul Baqarah Ayat 198

Here is the Virtual Panel Discussion. Again I only caught the first 25 minutes.
