There are a few Controversial Hadiths

May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon Nabi Muhammad (epbuh):

Someone used a controversial Hadith that assigns a Shaitan if you are late for Fajr salaat to make you sleepy and lazy all day. Personally, I am rarely late. But we have to be careful of the words that we use. Our Words can either bring a harvest of blessings or harvest of disastrous losses. Are not Shaitans insulting, harmful and injurious to people? Is it something to toy with? Does Allah (swt) use Shaitans to assist Him? When we look at the contemporary Romans are they not some of the most productive people in the world? Are they dealing with Chronic Fatigue and Narcolepsy while under the Government of the Kitab? While I would not wish it on them should those under the Government of the Quran have such a clause and condition on Fajr salaat? Should we place Shaitans in the homes of the people who believe to watch to see if they make a mistake? Will it follow the rules of why it was assigned? That is a Hell. Why wish such a thing on each other when Nabi Muhammad (saws) said to spread the salaams in order to share love that would make you worthy of Jannah? 

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

“You will not enter Paradise until you believe, and you will not believe until you love one another. Shall I not tell you of that which will strengthen love between you? Spread (the greeting of) salaam amongst yourselves.”

(Narrated by Muslim, 81).

To Surahtul Kahfi in the form of mancave.

When one chooses to use a "controversial" hadith, one should ask if they'd want it pronounced upon them. But we should also have an innate sense of reservation or shame about giving Amr to a "controversial" Hadith that would be harmful and injurious to another innocent Muslim.
Some hadiths are sound, and some are not sound. We have to permit the Amr of the Quranul Kareem to overrule/divorce any Hadith that is in conflict with any of the Laws, Principles and Rights within the Quran. That is needed for eternity. Those who do not, then the loss is their own.
The Sahabas would remove something that would be injurious, harmful or a trip hazard in the road or path. 

Life narrowed down and being raised up blind through turning away from the Words of Allah.

Don't dabble with magic (Suhr, Jibt or Taghut). Can click any of the graphics to enlarge them.

A list of a handful of Controversial Hadiths. There are a few others to be careful of using on one another. The graphic concerning Wazara is intended to be combined with the black graphic beneath it making for a concerning scenario for the Hadith that is mentioned in the Wazara graphic.

Do not assist the adversary of a Muslim (which would be the evil one) against the Muslim. Do not ransom them to the evil ones. And there are a couple of other don'ts.

Alright don't think me crazed. I had to look at the 4 possibilities of this visually so check below how I grinded out the processing of this Hadith above to add to that it conflicts with the Holy Quran, and to explore the 4 possible scenarios or possible sequences of negative and positive, and which one the above Hadith contained in it. Lusts and Desires could connote "Ease" the Hellfire is made easy and the Paradise is made difficult...but according to the Quran that is only a condition for those who give the lie to the best in Surahtul Laili right beside that hadith above. So, some hadith are sound and some are unsound. The Hadith have to be sifted through the Lens of Quran. Each has to be careful that a Hadith does not overturn a single Ayah of Quran.

We have to stop and sometimes ask ourselves, "What are we commanding in the Fellowship of the Spirit of Allah (swt)?" An example from Luke in the Injeel of what Amr or Command in the Spirit can do.

The sisters' work really is admirable. They really have great networks that they've created on social media. They seem to be very close knit, as well. Brothers in Islam could stand to take notes on how the sisters are doing things. Selling clothes, hijabs, makeup, getting major endorsements...it really is fascinating to see.

There is nothing wrong with reminding against the haram. We have only been warned from Allah not to make the haram the halal, and not to make the halal the haram. And if Allah (swt) did not specifically say it is haram or if the hadiths sometimes conflict making (same thing) halal and haram something Allah never said Himself was haram, then something that is a grey area of non-judgment should remain so and not be given a judgement by that person. Not everyone can step up to become engineers, doctors, lawyers, architects (although I had architectural drafting completely on the table a few years ago but the unseen fitnah behind that study dropping is a dissertation)...but we cannot step up to those things not from a lacking mental aptitude standpoint, but from a lacking getting the credentials standpoint from a respected institution of higher education. Again some of us are dealing with some pretty heavy spiritual fitnah, as well. Some guys have background check issues, and they have to find that legal hustle, but don't want to drive taxis, uber, etc. 

We have to stop shooting ourselves in the foot. But, those boycotts are noticed across a number of demographics for a number of reasons. There is no compulsion in religion. If a person boldly doesn't help another believer, then they should boldly not harm, nor require help from that believer. Reciprocation expands the Barakat of Allah. If I extend the As Salaamu Alaikum to a brother, but they don't reply it in turn, then fortune went to one person and not the other unless the person who was first to extend the greetings decides that they want to ask Allah to withdraw their blessings upon them. The Salaams is a Sunnah of the Nabi that he expressed fosters love and return to Jannah. I have to find that hadith and place it in the comments here.

But, getting back to the sisters. They have displayed survival and money making skills during a pandemic on social media. I really was trying to add to that money they could hustle by making tracks available to split 50/50 with them.

Was willing to agree to 3 months on whichever tracks in my catalog are holding an acceptable standard.

Distrokid is part owned by Spotify and allows us to assign a split to any tracks to who we wish. It is all handled by Distrokid to your Paypal or other good options. I don't receive any of their personal info, and they don't receive any of my personal info. Just have to be a member and that costs $20 per year. So, if a particular sister's network is 100k to 250k or greater of sisters, and they have it so that they can go to them and say, "Ladies download this.", then we could be splitting that total reach in $1 downloads of which ever tracks deemed acceptable to them to shop to the ladies.

There is no compulsion in religion or life. But we do have to remember that Allah (swt) will turn his back on those who turn their backs on the cries of the poor in their times of need. Can click image to enlarge.

I have to say that not being able to succeed in this has been a bit of a disappointment. On paper it should have been an easy thing, but for some reason that clearly was not the case. But again no compulsion because I don't want anyone trying to compel me to do something that I don't want to do either. And it is best to respect people's wishes and comfort levels about things. Can everybody bear witness? That is part of Kindness, Courtesy and Consideration of others, as well. I must merchant to others, yes? I try to never forget to ask Allah to bless those "believing servants of His" who help me. "Believing servants of His" because we do get people who help but have ulterior motives.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is! You will not enter Jannah until you believe, and you shall not believe until you love one another. May I inform you of something, if you do, you love each other. Promote greeting amongst you (by saying As-salamu 'alaikum to one another)".

[Muslim]. (46) Chapter: Excellence and Etiquette of Sincere love for the sake of Allah - Introduction, Hadith 378.

May Allah accept it.

I'm getting old.
