"Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones. Learn from their ways and become wise!" ~ Nabi Sulaimon (epbuh) Proverbs 6:6

Nabi Sulaimon (as) taught us this lesson about Al Namli, the ants. But Nabi Miuhammad (epbuh) also taught us a lesson about Al Namli, the ants, in the Divine Alignment of Allah (swt), while referencing another story about Nabi Sulaimon (as) within Surahtul Namli. It is part of the natural world, in the face of harsh summer climate experiences, to not want to waste water nor opportunities to put away (or store away) reserves for more difficult days. This is a very Yusufian (epbuh) Order Principle that I have attempted to capsulize in the past. What a Beautiful God that Allah (swt) is to teach us these Sacred Laws, Divine Laws and Laws of Nature all rolled up into one. SubhanAllah. More referencing below.

Below in vid is the famous Aesop Fable about the Ant and the Grasshopper.

Currently throughout Europe and even here in the US we have been hit since 2010 with a plethora of summer droughts and water issues. Allah (swt) is telling us that He (swt) can take away the water, but He (swt) is also telling us not to waste water. But essentially, not waste, as the Ants, the summer of collecting and storing away for days of difficulty.

There is a famous Hadith of the Holy Nabi Muhammad (epbuh) concerning not even wasting water in a flowing stream. I will collect this hadith (found it with Ai) and post it here:

"Hadith on Not Wasting Water Even at a Flowing Stream:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that wastefulness in ablution is prohibited even if you are by a flowing river. This is recorded in several authentic collections.

The narration:
Abdullah ibn ‘Amr reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by Sa’d while he was performing ablution. The Prophet said, “What is this extravagance?” Sa’d replied, “Is there extravagance in ablution?” The Prophet said, “Yes, even if you are on the bank of a flowing river.” {website - Faith in Allah}+1

Authenticity:
This hadith is narrated by Ibn Majah (Hadith 425) and Ahmad (Hadith 7065) on the authority of Abdullah ibn ‘Amr. Scholars such as Ahmad ibn Shaker and Muhammad ‘Awwamah have declared it sound (ḥasan) {website - IslamQA.}

Similar narrations:
Abu Darda reported: “Be thrifty in wudu, even if you are at the riverbank.” (Musnad Ahmad, Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah) {website - IslamQA.}
Abdullah ibn Mas’ud reported a similar statement {website - IslamQA.}
Hilal ibn Yisaf said it was customary among the Sahabah and Tabi’un to say that wastage in wudu could occur even at the riverbank {website - IslamQA.}

Meaning and application:
The term israf (إسراف) means extravagance or wastefulness. The Prophet’s instruction applies to any act of ablution — whether washing the face, hands, or feet — and emphasizes moderation in water use. Even with abundant water, such as from a flowing stream, one should not pour excess or let water run unnecessarily {website - allamalquran.co.uk.}

Practical guidance:
Use only the amount of water needed for each step of wudu.
Turn off the water source when not in use.

This principle extends beyond wudu to all water use, reflecting the Islamic concept of khalifah (stewardship) over resources allamalquran.co.uk.

References:
Sunan Ibn Majah 425
Musnad Ahmad 7065
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 723, 731

This hadith remains a timeless reminder to conserve water, regardless of its apparent abundance, and to uphold the Prophet’s example in all matters of moderation."

Shifa (Healing) is Thru Zakaha (Purification & Charity). Zakaha which as an Umbrella has beneath it, Tauhara, Ikhlas, Tauhid, Ihsan, Taqwa, & Yaqeen

Bismi Allahi Al Rahmani Al Raheemi.
Aoudhubillahi minal shaitanir rajeemi.
ASA WR WB to believing Muslim friends.

It took me some time in reflecting on the significance of Frankincense and Myrrh. I was wondering what the mystery about it was and why the Wise Men decided that it was as valuable as Gold as well as, as valuable as their Supplications to Allah (swt) for Blessings upon the Messiah. It was a simple, complex.

It is Tauhara for Ikhlas, and for Salaat. It was being used to purify the approach to Allah (swt). Allah (swt) will be repulsed by foul, odorous smells. But also, by the defilements of idolatry as in Ezekiel 8 when He leaves out the East Gate towards the East in Ezekiel 10.

Ezekiel or Dhul Kifli (epbuh) Ministered on the Zakaha as it pertains to the Holiness of the Place of Worship to God through Zakaha - Purification and Charity. But the Purification has under it, as if it is an umbrella, Ikhlas, Tauhid, Ihsan, Taqwa, and Yaqeen that we can easily infer by what happened between Ezekiel 8 and Ezekiel 10. All of that is under the umbrella of Zakaha or Purification. Allah (swt) said in Malachi that it can get to the point where the incense offerings can be a stench to His Smell.

Najas is something solidly covered in the Surah of Taubah on it being banished from approaching the Kaaba, Mecca, and that implies a banishment from Qiblah itself. Which just means that it is not a free and indefinite practice. It just can't be a prolonged and indefinite journey with Najas like a mobile gas and torture chamber. Tolerances cannot just be bankrupted in people regarding Najas as they align with the Qiblah. They might not think we notice, but many signs point to that they/we do.

It is so noticeable that we literally can rebuke the "no need to work (support trade and business with each other) anymore" theory solely on the need to purchase cleaning and maintenance supplies. Inside the body, outside the body, the home, yard, etc. The "we don't need to work" theory can be easily overruled on purification but that is not the only thing that Tauhara and Zakaha lead to. They also lead to Shifa or Healing from Allah (swt). Without Zakaha there really is no road to Heal. Because on the foundation of Healing is Zakaha and Tauhara and this is confimed in the Book of Ezekiel (epbuh and upon Nabi Muhammad and all other Anbiya I mention) in the passages towards the end on the River of Healing. But Tauhara and Zakaha are Integral to the Summons of Allah (swt). He'll leave the person(s) like at Ezekiel 10.

If we lose Tauhara and Zakaha then we lose the building blocks of Shifa itself. Shifa has within it, Classical Conditioning of positive reinforcement for positive behavior that Pavlov got from the Proverb of Nabi Sulaimon (epbuh) "If you continue to reward good with evil then evil will never leave your house." and no good will ever come to you. Classical Conditioning from Nabi Sulaimon (epbuh) is also an integral building block of Shifa or Healing. Last thing Frankincense and Myrrh cannot be burned within the house. Those resins will make everything in the house sticky including computer parts, mechanical devices, coat walls, tables, etc. But if you burn it outside you have to make sure that the winds do not set the grass or anything flammable on fire. I would sit the charcoal burner, not an electric, inside a metal mesh (holes) garbage can about the size for an office desk outside. Exact type I use in the last image. I always get 2 cans. 1 for recycling the other for charcoal burners. The holes stop any vortex action from wind lifting up problems, and from pushing over the garbage can which then lead to the charcoal being blown around.

The top 2 text graphics below is to reference a parallelism In the Book of Ezekiel and the Holy Quran. Here Ezekiel is saying that the Primary Law of the Temple of his Order or Houses of Worship in general is Absolute Holiness which I cited above as implicating Zakaha, Tauhara, Ikhlas, Tauhid, Ihsan, Taqwa, and Yaqeen. All of this directly inferred by Ezekiel 8-10 and Ezekiel 43. This was purification of His House, our lives, etc. but, in addition, by ridding idolatry that had defiled His Holy Presence that was mentioned at Ezekiel 8 and caused Him to leave at Ezekiel 10. But further with solid confirmation is the Primary Law of each of the 7 Heavens. It is obvious that every inhabitant of each of the 7 Gates of Heaven would be of the mindset of total Awe, Glory, Praise, Adoration, and Fear of Allah (swt) to Whom all of their worship is being directed, while remaining loyral to the Holy Spirit as an additional Source of the Spirit to Him which is accessed without worship but in complete loyalty as water is not worshiped to access it. Above all foods, drink, readings that carry Spirit, and the many othre gifts that Allah (swt) Provides are Praises and Glorifications of Him and Him Alone. We cannot "cup of sugar" spirit from our neighbors, towns people, villagers, other city dwellers, countrymen, or inhabitants of the Heavens. That would be deification of those persons besides Allah (swt). And it is my assumption that is the "blasphemy" reference of this Law the Messiah in issuing the Commandment, "Thou shalt not blaspheme the Holy Spirit..." Listing these also beneath top 2 text graphics. Please click any of these images to enlarge them if illegible.

Beneath these first 4 text graphics I wanted to add 2 more. Another building block of Shifa or the Healing process is the Progression (Bariyu) that comes from the Ayah from Allah (swt) of how Good can cancel Evil. This is an Integral building block for people who align themselves to Faith in Allah (swt) to be able to get past something done wrong (or wrong living) by doing something right (or right living, righteousness). My understanding of Medicine obviously has limits in not being a Medical Doctor, however, that Ayah of Allah (swt) Heals not only a person's body, but also a community over time. Good cancelling Evil being a direct function of the administering of medicines works because of Allah (swt).

The 3 building blocks of Shifa or Healing recognized in this post as integral to life are:
1. Zakaha
2. Sulaimonic Conditioning or Classical Conditioning
3. The straight Law of Good deeds (works and right living) cancelling Evil deeds (works and wrong living).
If either of these life-supporting principles, for Faith and the People of Faith, are unjustly turned on their head (or turned upside down), then Nabi Sulaimon (epbuh and upon Nabi Muhammad and all other Anbiya mentioned) has ruled it Wicked or Evil to do so when He (as) said, "The Wicked rejoice in Evil because it turns things upside down." Requesting of Allah (swt) the preservation of those building blocks of Shifa in support of Faith alignment, maintenance and preservation towards Him (swt). Allahumma Ameen.

Holy Prophets Muhammad, Sulaimon, Isa (epbut) on Harvests and Lawful Self Soul Works

Bismi Allahi Al Rahmani Al Raheemi
Aoudhunillahi minal shaitanir rajeemi
ASA WR WB to believing Muslim friends

When it comes to anything concerning rhythm and soul whether it is food, music or other products, I am 100% against soul being on the trade table.

Other people can do what they want. It really is never any of my business, but me personally never want a business collab to be soul at risk for me or the person that I am collabing with.

If the Spirit is nudging me that soul work is happening in trying to connect with someone on a collab (It might not be intentional on their part. When we start getting into the Word of God, then Mulberry Trees can move and so just the use of that language can cause problems)...so if that is happening with someone I literally was 100% trying to connect with (they already had the agreement and it was offered and all they had to do was accept) and I pull back from them, then it was because of the nudge of soul at risk that they may not have even intended to be a problem but it is because of their naming conventions.

I placed in my collab form a question with 2 check boxes to agree or disagree with P.D.H. that the collab is not soul at risk. I restrict all soul convo to the Holy Quran and the Holy Bible. If neither are in hand being quoted from, then we don't have any need to be talking about soul and absolutely not on something being sold. "Nourishment for the Soul through Kindnesses" however is a different convo, or "Replenishment of the Soul through Kindnesses". But it just can't be "Soul" by itself. For me it still comes back to that "Soul" literally has to be tethered to the Holy Verses referencing it. In the case below the tether with Solomon in a particular verse is to "Kindness". It was not the food or music but the "Kindness" that was the catalyst for Nourishment and Replenishment from Allah (God). He does that part. You open to open ended convo about Soul? Contract Law + Moving Mulberry Trees = Not a good point of reference in business. But again, that's me, and I'm not telling grown folks what they need to do for themselves.

That is a Messianic (epbuh) Law, and the reasoning here should not be unfamiliar. "What good is it to gain the treasures of the Earth and lose your soul, is not your soul more valuable than all the treasures of the Earth."

Kindnesses are weighed by the Lord God. But it almost seems that by these parallel verses it's before the Day of Account to either the nourishment/replenishment of the soul being kind or to the self-imposed ruin/loss/destruction. 3 Holy Prophets (as) of God are unanimous on this in 3 Holy Books.

Lawful Works that are Catalysts for the Replenishment and Nourishment of the Soul, that can be Self Petition Works to Allah (swt).

Ezekiel or Dhul Kifli (epbuh) Reflection

Bismi Allahi Al Rahmani Al Raheemi.

Aoudhubillahi minal shaitanir rajeem.
ASA WR WB to believing Muslim friends.

Why do a concentration on Prophet Ezekiel aka Nabi Dhul Kifli (epbuh).
1. Ikhlas
2. Tauhid
3. Yaqeen
4. Ihsan - Allah was present at and up to Ezekiel 8 and left Eastward at Ezekiel 10
5. Shirk - Allah left at Ezekiel 10 because of the idolatry at Ezekiel 8.
6. Zakaha, Zakaat, ZKY, - Charity and Purification being interchangeable but there are a few other related connotations to the definition. This ties into Tauhara, as well, but is not mentioned in the definition. Tauhara is to keep environment, surroundings, home, life, work, etc. clean and pure.
7. Taqwa - Fear and Adoration of Allah (swt)
8. The Ruh of Allah, and Allah as The Sources of the Holy Spirit is tied to Ikhlas, Tauhid, Zakaha and nine below...{but importantly we cannot "cup of sugar" regarding the spirit of neighbors in Heaven or neighbors in the Houses of Worship for Allah (swt).
9. Shifa - Healing. Ezekiel's Service and Ministry to Allah has intrinsic in it, Sacred Passages on a Healing Phenomenon.

Ezekiel is instructing us of many things. 1. The Foundation of Healing is in Tauhid, Ikhlas, Zakaha and is further strengthened by the other points above. But 2. Ezekiel is instructing us that the Primary Law of the Temple, Masjid, House of Worship to Allah is Tauhid tied to Ikhlas tied to Zakaha tied to..., etc. and it is the Primary Law of each of the Heavens. Because if the person fails Tauhid, Ikhlas, Zakaha, etc. in the Heavens or in the Houses of Worship of God, then they will fall from Heaven and the Places of Worship and be snatched by a flock of powerful birds or a powerful wind to a far-off distant land.
It is the Primary Law of the House of Worship to Allah; the foundation of Healing itself; and the Primary Law of each of the Heavens.
If Allah (swt) stops sending the Shifa from Himself (swt). then it might be associated with these foundation principles. So then what are people and Doctors then going to do? Can't rule out science or the Periodic Table of Elements. Minerals, Vitamins and Elements of the Earth. But concern is about sourcing other humans or created beings, Magic, Sorcery, Witchcraft, and other Secret Arts. In the sourcing other humans part there is the Messiah (epbuh) not to blaspheme the Holy Spirit (and as I mentioned before it is to be disloyal to the Holy Spirit and Allah as Sources, where worship is only for Allah (swt) and the subject of Allah, thus being sourced besides this, are being deified.

Prophet Ezekiel (epbuh) has told us that on the Foundation of Healing is Purification or Zakaha. On the Foundation of Purification is Tauhid and Ikhlas.

Some Blessed Rights from Allah (swt) for Muslims and Those Who Study the 2 Holy Books the Way They Should be Studied.

Bismi Allahi Al Rahmani Al Raheemi
ASA WR WR to believing Muslim friends:

These are our rights against others. But these are also other people's rights against us.

Some Blessed Rights from Allah based on the foundation in this verse in Baqarah 121 of the Quran that is about the Bible which would be an obvious inference to the Quran, as well.

Some Blessed Rights from Allah (swt). Allah (swt) has afforded the believing Muslims some Sacred Rights. Here are a few of them. For any images that I had to enlarge because the text was small there is a scroll bar beneath the blog post to slide the graphic to the right and left. These graphics can be clicked to enlarge them.

1. Rights against someone devouring our substance.
