ASA WR WB to believing Muslim friends.
Anfali 58 + Dawah + Isaiah 30
On the plot, by the Quraishi, to assassinate the Holy Prophet Muhammad (epbuh), the Nabi (saws) was aware. There is no doubt Allah (swt) informed him (saws) that they were coming after him (saws).
So, the Nabi (saws) had to flee or make hijrah to Yathrib or Medinah.
If you were a confidante and the Nabi (saws) informed you of the situation {you see many of us may have similar grasp of their own personal circumstances, though we are not the Holy Nabi (saws)}...but if you were a confidante what would be your advice to him:
2. Do 100 Astaghfirs and 100 La ilaha illa Allah. Wahdahu la sharika lahu. Lahul Mulku Wa Lahul Hamidu Wa Huwa Alai Kulli Shain Qadiru and 100 La Huwla wa la Quwatta illa billah, etc. so you get my point on Dhikr or Tasbih options.
3. Spend beautiful intimate time with your beautiful wife or propose to this beautiful woman if not married and spend beautiful time with her.
4. Fast 2 times per week.
5. Offer salawatul Anbiya on other integral Anbiya since he is one himself (saws).
6. Amala Salihan - work righteousness and productivity in the land. There are 2 basic types of productivity (but could possibly have further divisions): 1, Righteous; and 2. Unrighteous. Generally our default concept of "Productivity" is righteous. So, some type of product or service being offered that is Tayyib, Halal and righteous that is monetized for trade and traffic between people. Products and services that are beneficial to others are under Salihan. Under Nabi Salih (epbuh) the She-camel was a sign of man working righteousness through the land in drinking water and grazing through the land. She was seeking of the bounties of Allah (swt). Mankind does this in various ways that naturally doesn't quite translate to eating healthy beneficial shrubs, plants, herbs, and drinking from streams as the She-camel. Man will farm land, plant crops, weave rugs, construct homes, etc. That is righteous "productivity" in sub definition of Salihan or Salihat or Amala Salihan. Because it was part of the Ministry of a Holy Prophet of Allah, like Nabi Luti Ministered heterosexuality, and Nabi Shuaybi Ministered measuring with just Scales after fair markups they are acts of ibadah, as well.
7. Amala Darasan - work education studies. Go to school. Nabi Idris (epbuh)
Technically all of those suggestions are literally outstanding, but the problem is that those are the very things that he (saws) was having trouble establishing in Mecca at the time.
The other advice though outstanding in real and true sense could not overrule the priority of his (saws) survey of the situation.
Do you find this happening to you ever?
Others feeling that you do not have a competent grasp of your own situation and offer to you other advice? And those are the only ways or options they have for you? Even if your option has 50% of sales on items and 15% of sales on others? When we offer, we have to offer better plans not worse {from Injeel and Proverbs below}. It has to be a better plan than the one on the table for some of us.
How did and do other communities in the US do things to help and support their own groups? Chinese, Japanese, Jewish, Christians, other races, etc.? What were their best practices in doing that? Back in the day? But further they didn't even have the world wide web and were exceptionally efficient in those processes. They had community newsletters that were mailed out in regular postal mail. They didn't have something they could sell for a single $1 online, to a broader global community, that could be split between other Muslims working on projects with you. Not every act of making money is for boastful, lavish lifestyles. Sometimes there is an emergency, no? Might have to get up and flee to re-establish systems of Faith in your home somewhere else, sometimes, eh? Not wanting it to all fit in a grocery shopping cart on foot, and everything else in the dumpster. All 7 of those Pillars of Faith are acts of Ibadah. We are not set in our minds well enough as a community of Salihat and Darasat are acts of Ibadah. We are not set well enough as a community of this in our minds. It is a plague and a mockery of Faith not to see them suggested by Nabi Ibrahim (epbuh).
