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).

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.

The Good and Truth of this is from Allah (swt); the Bad and False of this is from the speaker. May Allah bless the speaker for conveying the Good and Truth. May Allah bless me for relaying the Good and Truth of this. May Allah bless the translator for his service. May Allah bless the one who renders Sign Language in the video presentation of the Jumuah Salaat.
