3 Part Series of Reflections upon 3 Ancient Rights from the Garden of Eden.

3 Part Series of Reflections upon 3 Ancient Rights from the Garden of Eden. The first 2 parts are blog links nested in this part 3 blog.
Eid Mubarak. Not trying to be dramatic at the moment by posting this. Often times people at the moment of discovery of something that had been bothering them may become a little emotional. This was written some time ago, and you can imagine that sometimes hyper spiritual activity can cause a little frustration and emotion. But that is not reason for my repost of this old blog of mine from my non-Muslim Dawah blog. It is to reflect upon 3 Ancient Rights from the Garden of Eden. The 1st Right is the right not to be worshipped or sourced as gods or goddesses in the Garden of Eden. This was a natural law that Adam and Eve (as) enjoyed there before the fall. They had not been exposed to hyper spiritual activity (beings coming to them in the unseen as a source in the spirit instead of God and His Holy Spirit as Source. I touch on my interpretation further down in this blog of the Gospel's "Thou shalt not blaspheme the Holy Spirit" and for the purposes of our understanding as Muslims what this probably actually meant by comparing the Holy Spirit to Water. Both were created by God and not to be worshipped in order to source them. Thus, interpreting it as a duty to remain loyal to the Holy Spirit and God as Source of the Spirit.) and their nakedness (spiritual, etc.) had not been revealed to them and had not been associated with shame and disgrace and how Allah (swt) restores grace to the Children of Adam and Eve with Laws on covering, modesty, hijab, etc.
"Aoudhbillahi. But Ezekiel's Primary Law of the Temple is a similitude for the Primary Law of Heaven. Worship is only for Allah. Allah and His Holy Spirit are the Only Sources for the Spirit. In Heaven you just can't go to your neighbors' houses and usurp spirit from them like it is just a cup of sugar, nor can doctors in doctors' office visits. But the Holy Spirit cannot be worshipped but sourced as water is sourced as it has been lawful to increase in Spirit from the Lord like we can increase in water without worshipping water." ~ Agri-Hood blog excerpt: https://muhakeem1abdullah1.blogspot.com/2025/10/islamic-agri-hood-project.html

If a person or entity is engaging you for trade exchanges in the fellowship of the spirit.
Aoudhubillahi minal shaitanir rajeem.
ASA WR WB to believing Muslim friends.
The moment that you feel that some other person or entity is engaging you for trade exchanges in the fellowship of the spirit. Like a type of bartering, then on the first step of that activity and engagement with them, you should know it is haram.
Because Allah (swt) told us to give and trade from what? But not only that it should be what was lawfully earned from the fruits of the Earth, but in addition it is the easier, natural, and more common sense form of trade and exchange. If it is in the unseen do we as humans have anything in writing about the transaction? No, and that is one of the first of many difficulties about any hyper interests in going by an idea of only unseen engagement with others. I don't know how to do that, but that is beside the point of Allah (swt) told us to give from substances lawfully earned from Earth that He and His Angels Provide us with.
This common sense should never be lost. If it is lost, then it must be found again. The relevance of the dunya is at the essence of the principle of, "Doing good in trade and charity in order to stack good deeds upon the individual's Scale of Judgment in order to have a chance of returning to the Kingdom." If we continue to dismiss the relevance (particularly between Muslims) of seen, physical, flesh trade and charity (very importantly by mutual consent) of lawful substances from the Earth, then we have kind of dismissed the relevance of the "Race" back to the Kingdom (that is at a moderate pace or walk and not a run nor a sprint over the course of a lifetime on Earth). Or it is the thinking that, "No more to do here on Earth, and I am already knowing I am going to Heaven, so I'm folding up my hands, I don't have to do anything else." We can't assume that. Al Masihu Isa ibn Maryam (epbut) taught that we won't know if we are good until the Day of Judgement.
Easier and, from the evidence, more bountiful to engage trade and charity in the seen from substance from the Earth than to do the more difficult engagement of trade and charity in the unseen from your spirit and soul. The former has been made lawful while the latter unlawful.

The Defilements (and the Najasun). The Blood. The Holy Spirit. The Tree of Forbidden Fruit. Ad Dawab (Beast, Animals). The (optional) Sabti.
Bismi Allahi Al Rahmani Al Raheemi
ASA WR WB to believing Muslim friends.
[Any Original Sized Graphics Below, Please Use the Scroll Bars to Read Them.]
On the issue of smelling, etc. ad dawab or animals (dogs, apes, swine) in the unseen Spirit, another way that this may be an issue for Believers is if another person is trying to purify their defiled state and condition through defiling a person of Faith that purifies themselves.
This occurrence might be similar to the situation in the Torah in which Allah (swt) made the Ark of the Covenant unlawful to be touched. It is my suspicion that Allah (swt) understands the nature of some people. He understood that some people would want to purify themselves through defiling the Holy Ark of the Covenant by touching. They would want to transfer their defilements to the Holy Object to make themselves clean. So Allah (swt) made only the Levite Priests able to handle the Ark of the Covenant and anyone else who touched would die from how Holy it is.

| Pardon me I did not break out my Wacom Tablet and Stylus Pen. Drawn with Mouse. |
Leviticus 24:17
So, some will try to touch a person that is purifying themselves for Allah (swt) to remove defilements (Ad Dawab or animals (dogs, apes, swine)) in the unseen Spirit that is a condition of their own Spirituality and Faith (or lack thereof) practices. In other words, they may have created the condition themselves by not obeying Allah (swt). This Law at Leviticus 24:17 says, "The penalty for taking another person's life is death." That leaves it open to a spectrum of 1% to 100% of the person's life. Someone touching or (getting to the blood I will discuss below) may only be taking 10% or 20% of a person's life, but the nuisance of this for the purifying person could be chronic just if one person does this. But what if there are 10 or 20 people that want to use this technique. It is unfair to the person that purifies themselves for Allah (swt). Instead of only having to bathe once to get clean they'd have to do so 11 or 21 times to reach themselves once? The taking of the life of another believer would place the person in the category of Cain, and the Abel Versus Cain Laws. This is a very important dua to Allah (swt) to make this case against those who do this type of thing. We do not want to be burdened with the conditions that people have caused for themselves through their non-compliance with Allah (swt).
Leviticus 17
Prohibition on the consumption of blood and the erecting of sacrificial altars outside of the Sacred Precincts of (obviously Mecca because Allah said sacrificial offerings are accepting by Him near Baitul Atique) but also Jerusalem where sacrificial offerings have been temporarily suspended by Allah (swt) for Ahli Kitab. And no one knows when Allah will re-instate them for them.
But the consumption of blood is forbidden in any form. So that would include physically and spiritually. The touching of the purification of a person of Faith in Allah (swt) may take place through the Spiritual consumption of the purifying person's blood.
Allah (swt) said in Leviticus 17 that, "The life of every creature is in the blood." "Therefore you must not consume blood in any form." "But, must pour out the blood of the animals into the Earth and bury it in the Earth." Meaning the flesh has been made Lawful, but the Spirit of Allah (swt) flows through the blood. The Spirit of Allah (swt) circulates our bodies through our blood. It makes sense that it may reach the extremities of our bodies hands, feet, head. The person who erroneously thinks themselves clever wants to purify and find increase and enhancement of life through consumption of the blood because it contains the Spirit of Allah (swt). [And there are certain animals that are lawful for sacrifice at Leviticus 1-7. Animals for scapegoats at Leviticus 16. Humans were not mentioned.]
That (in last bold text) is unlawful in Leviticus 24:17 above; it is unlawful in Leviticus 17 just mentioned above. But it is also unlawful in the Injeel when the Messiah (as) said, "Thou shalt not blaspheme the Holy Spirit." Meaning what? To not blaspheme Allah (swt) is to remain loyal to Him as the Source. Thus, to not blaspheme the Holy Spirit places a rigid condition to remain loyal to the Holy Spirit. That means to only Source Allah (swt) and His Holy Spirit for the Spirit and absolutely not any of the created subjects of Allah (swt). Will never be forgiven in this life or the next.
To recap of what I posted on Facebook and Twitter that inspired this blog post:
Bismi Allahi Al Rahmani Al Raheemi
ASA WR WB to believing Muslim friends
I have to explain why I decided to use the Sabti or Sabbath. It is because of Ad Dawab in the Spirit Unseen. Animal(s) smells, etc, in the Spirit. My apartment is like a Musalla. It is said that Allah does not prefer the smell of the dog in the Masjid, though dogs are good hunting animals. Allah (swt) said in His Holy Quran that He transformed the Sabbath breakers into Qiraditan Khasieena and Kanizeera (He transformed them into Apes Despised and Rejected and Pigs (Hogs, Boars) for breaking the Sabbath). Then the converse will remove the Animal in the Spirit. Observing the Sabbath and asking Allah (swt) to remove Ad Dawab, Qiraditan Khasieen and Kanizeera from the DNA, Spirit, Soul. Ameen. But, Allah also made breaking or desecrating the Sabti punishable with Death. So can also ask Him to remove untimely Deaths, as well. The Quran said it (Sabti) is only binding on those who doubt as to its observance. So I think you can choose to use it or not. Some people curse Black people. Some women want to curse men as dogs, etc. There are all kinds of people that like to do those occult type of things...spells, curses, and enchanting. I guess we can thank Harry Potter. Sometimes the Spirit carries their curses and informs us of them, and other things. What a rotten Khasirun person to curse someone for no justifiable reason. They should lose Command (Amr) who do things like that in the Spirit unjustly. There is a Law that does that, btw. And Surahtul Shamsi does profoundly condemn for defiling other people of Faith as well as self.
I could not find the Hadith about burying the bones of the fowls of Paradise after eating them so that they come back to life. I do strongly suspect that it is contained in Tablighi Nisab, and that book does not have a very good Index system. It only has Table of Contents. But, my point was that it may be of the type of things of Paradise to bury the blood and bones of the animals fit for consumption. Thus not consuming the blood is of Paradise, and of the People of Paradise.
But, to continue, people are coming up with these alternative ways of doing this type of thing. However, many of them have resemblance to the Original Sin of "Stealing Life" or consuming life forbidden for consumption through eating fruit from the Forbidden Tree of Life.
Also, to continue, people are coming up with these alternative ways to obtaining "Spirit" when Allah (swt) gave easier and far more Superior Ways to reach Him and His Holy Spirit. Simply holding the Kalima Kitab (for those who follow it) and/or Quran (for those who follow it) in the hands, and then reading them. Allah (swt) says,
"Say the Holy Spirit has brought the Revelation from they Lord in Truth, in order to Strengthen those who believe, and as a Guide and Glad Tidings to Muslims." ~ Surah 16:101-102
Also, to further continue, people are coming up with these alternative ways to obtain "Spirit" through the blood under the idea that the life Spirit from Allah and/or the living cells of the blood will increase life, etc. within them. But, why rule out the living plant cells in fresh juices of fruits and vegetables? There are living cells there. It seems much easier and holier to me to do that.
And as I mentioned in the comment on Facebook observing the Sabti and running those duas to Allah (swt). Sabti is Sunset to Sunset. So sunset on Jumuah to sunset on Sabti. Or sunset Friday to sunset Saturday. Also one does not have to read the Kalima all day, but to get in a good enough portion to connect with the Spirit of Allah (swt). It does not only have to be "Truth" in Kitab that day, it could be all Quran, as well, for those who only wish to read Quran.
It makes me wonder the question why go through all of those Secret Arts to consume the blood, etc. for "used spirit" and could go to the Source for "new Spirit" by simply picking up, holding and reading, either or, both Books of Allah? Some other ways to access the Holy Spirit, including Fasting Ramadan listed in graphic below.
"And when the Word is fulfilled against them (the unjust), we shall produce from the earth a beast to (face) them: He will speak to them, for that mankind did not believe with assurance in Our Signs." ~ Surahtul Namli Ayat 82
Other verses of note on Dabbatun or the Animals (Beasts)
"And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the living creatures that He has scattered through them: and He has power to gather them together when He wills." ~ Surahtul Shura Ayat 29
"He created the heavens without any pillars that ye can see; He set on the earth mountains standing firm, lest it should shake with you; and He scattered through it beasts of all kinds. We send down rain from the sky, and produce on the earth every kind of noble creature, in pairs." ~ Surahtul Luqman Ayat 10
"For the worst of beasts in the sight of God are the deaf and the dumb,- those who understand not." ~ Surahtul Anfali Ayat 22
"For the worst of beasts in the sight of God are those who reject Him: They will not believe." ~ Surahtul Anfali Ayat 55
"(God) said: "Get thee down from this: it is not for thee to be arrogant here: get out, for thou art of the meanest (of creatures)."" ~ Surahtul Araf Ayat 13
"Those who reject (Truth), among the People of the Book and among the Polytheists, will be in Hell-Fire, to dwell therein (for aye). They are the worst of creatures." ~ Surahtul Bayyinah Ayat 6

The Ruqya on someone of heavy alcohol consumption?
Aoudhubillahi minal shaitanir rajeemi x ∞³³³¹¹³³²
Peaceful greetings to believing family and friends.
{Header added 04/17/2026}
Below is a excerpt from the confusing blog notes on Healing in Religion that I reflected on a few months ago.
Sahih Al Bukhari Vol. 4 Book of Medicine Whenever Allah's Apostle went to bed, he used to recite Surat-al-Ikhlas, Surat-al-Falaq and Surat-an-Nas and then blow on his palms and pass them over his face and those parts of his body that his hands could reach. And when he fell ill, he used to order me to do like that for him. Sahih Al Bukhari Vol. 4 Book of Medicine A group of the companions of Allah's Apostle proceeded on a journey till they dismounted near one of the Arab tribes and requested them to entertain them as their guests, but they (the tribe people) refused to entertain them. Then the chief of that tribe was bitten by a snake (or stung by a scorpion) and he was given all sorts of treatment, but all in vain. Some of them said, "Will you go to the group (those travelers) who have dismounted near you and see if one of them has something useful?" They came to them and said, "O the group! Our leader has been bitten by a snake (or stung by a scorpion) and we have treated him with everything but nothing benefited him Has anyone of you anything useful?" One of them replied, "Yes, by Allah, I know how to treat with a Ruqya. But. by Allah, we wanted you to receive us as your guests but you refused. I will not treat your patient with a Ruqya till you fix for us something as wages." Consequently they agreed to give those travellers a flock of sheep. The man went with them (the people of the tribe) and started spitting (on the bite) and reciting Surat-al-Fatiha till the patient was healed and started walking as if he had not been sick. When the tribe people paid them their wages they had agreed upon, some of them (the Prophet's companions) said, "Distribute (the sheep)." But the one who treated with the Ruqya said, "Do not do that till we go to Allah's Apostle and mention to him what has happened, and see what he will order us." So they came to Allah's Apostle and mentioned the story to him and he said, "How do you know that Surat-al-Fatiha is a Ruqya? You have done the right thing. Divide (what you have got) and assign for me a share with you."
Here the Sahabas were intending to treat the man for free, but, because of how they were treated decided to charge that people for the service. This Sunnah, obviously, makes it permissible to charge people for medical services in Al-Islam, and further gives the treating physician/religious scholar the discretion whether to charge or not charge.
Allah has established that the Holy Quran was brought down by the Holy Spirit. So if one wants to have a connection with the Holy Spirit one should keep up the reading and recitation of the Holy Quran. The Quran says,Say, the Holy Spirit has brought the revelation from thy Lord in Truth, in order to strengthen those who believe, and as a Guide and Glad Tidings to Muslims. ~ Holy Quran Surahtul Nahl Ayat 102Also worth noting is the ayat,
They ask thee concerning the Spirit (of inspiration). Say: "The Spirit (cometh) by command of my Lord: of knowledge it is only a little that is communicated to you, (O men!)" ~ Holy Quran Surahtul Isra Ayat 85When we factor in Leviticus 17, we get,
14 The life of every creature is in the blood. That is why I have told the people of Israel never to eat or drink it, for the life of any bird or animal is in the blood. So whoever eats or drinks blood must be cut off. ~ Holy Bible Leviticus 17:14Also,
Had We sent this as a Qur’an (in the language) other than Arabic, they would have said: "Why are not its verses explained in detail? What! (a Book) not in Arabic and (a Messenger an Arab?" Say: "It is a Guide and a Healing to those who believe; and for those who believe not, there is a deafness in their ears, and it is blindness in their (eyes): They are (as it were) being called from a place far distant!" ~ Holy Quran Surahtul Fussilat Ayat 44It is well established that the Holy Spirit fulfills the commands and instructions of Allah towards life or death. Obedience to the Commands increases life, and disobedience to the Commands increases death...because Allah desires that faith, good deeds and righteousness should prevail, and that sin and unrighteousness should fail. "God’s object also is to purge those that are true in Faith and to deprive of blessing Those that resist Faith." ~ HQ 3:141. Thus, in the example above of the Ruqya, the Word or Kalima of Allah (i.e Surahtul Fatiha or Opening Chapter of Holy Quran) heals a snake bite. The snake bite transmits a poison into the bloodstream of it's victim. Nabi Muhammad (eternal pbuh) taught that this can be combated by the Holy Spirit that is in the Kalima of the Quranul Kareem. This transmits the Spirit from Allah into the bloodstream which combats the snakebite and invigorates the cells of the body with life. Alcohol is known to be something that destroys the cells, and dries things up...it is almost equivalent to the opposite of water...which is why many Native American Indians referred to it as "Fire Water". It even has a burning sensation depending on the type of drink that it is and it's level of alcohol content. Now this is not to negate the value of rubbing alcohol in medicine. Rubbing alcohol, however, is not consumed so is safe for many medicinal purposes. But, drinking alcohol destroys and dries up the cells...often times a person that drinks a lot of alcohol begins to appear to have skin like aged, worn leather. This is from the damaging effects of the alcohol working within the body. So the question becomes does a muslim continue to perform the Ruqya on someone that has a chronic, addiction or habitual habit of consuming alcoholic drinks? Is it in vain? It would seem that the answer is first they would have to agree to abandon the behavior causing the illness, sickness, decay, destruction to their body. Then, second, they would have to agree to the payment. Then, third, administer the Ruqya. There is a hadith that a woman (or companion) of Paradise could spit in the ocean and it would become sweet. [Please pardon the reference to this Hadith from Tablighi Jumaat. Really this type of thing is kind of mute idea by the reality that if Allah (God) wants the ocean to be salty then it should remain salty. This post was old from 2012. I had just left Denver and was reflecting on lessons we would receive in Chicago in Tabligh years past prior to move and departure from Denver.]

Healing in Religion
Matthew 9:19 As Jesus and the disciples were going to the official's home, 20 a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years came up behind him. She touched the fringe of his robe, 21 for she thought, "If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed." 22 Jesus turned around and said to her, "Daughter, be encouraged! Your faith has made you well." And the woman was healed at that moment.
Concerning healing and the effect that it has on time (Reference Surahtul Asr). It is not really having time if the person has not healthy, optimum, and efficient use of that time. Otherwise, the time is being used to heal and recover (in the case of health) or is being wasted (in the case of optimal efficiency). Rest, leisure and relaxation (including exercise) should be factored into your optimum use of time. May Allah bless the muslims time (and count me amongst the muslims). But, it is certainly good to have time to recover from all illnesses, though, death is the exception (although, the grave is a rest before the greater existence of the Afterlife the time spent there in healing is predicated on the life a person led by their faith and deeds, because as we know the grave can either be a place of torment with hellfire and dragons or a place of healing rest.). But this raises the question of the wisdom behind the decision of the medical industry to charge people for healthcare. I mean, after all, the Messiah (infinite saws) did this for free as an act of charity. Should those that are serving in the medical fields be volunteers? Continuing on the issue of time, one has to factor in that the doctor and the other people serving have to maintain healthy resistance to the illnesses of the people that they treat. That would require supplies, equipment and a healthy lifestyle for those professionals. This is not to be taken out of context. I am not slighting Obama Healthcare Reforms. Because under that policy physicians still get compensated by the insurance coverage. I am talking here about "doctors" being used involuntarily for service, versus voluntary service, and whether or not that "doctor" has the right to demand payment; or that patient to demand free service? Another question is does that, then, subject the "doctor" to being exploited on an involuntary or voluntary basis? Making the doctor a sort of "sacrifice" for the patients illnesses. Blog Concerning Sacrifices. And does that lend credence to why it is important for holy religious leaders to be compensated for the time spent healing others, leaving to their discretion as to when and where they do things for free.
Does a patient have the right to make a doctor serve them for free? I mean, in matters of the Holy Spirit which the Messiah (infinite saws) was strengthened with, "Then will Allah say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Recount My favour to thee and to thy mother. Behold! I strengthened thee with the holy spirit, so that thou didst speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. Behold! I taught thee the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel and behold! thou makest out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My leave, and thou breathest into it and it becometh a bird by My leave, and thou healest those born blind, and the lepers, by My leave. And behold! thou bringest forth the dead by My leave. And behold! I did restrain the Children of Israel from (violence to) thee when thou didst show them the clear Signs, and the unbelievers among them said: ’This is nothing but evident magic.’" ~ Holy Quran Al Maidah 110 So again, in matters of the spirit, the Messiah (infinite saws) was strengthened with the Ruhh Al Quddus and he (saws) detected when the hemorrhaging woman had touched his robes. Thus, indicating to me that it was felt, and if it was felt, then, it had an effect upon him. The verse suggests that she was trying to get healed for free and without him knowing about it. The question, then, becomes does the doctor have the right to charge people for the process of recovery from the effects of having healed people; and to shield from being exploited? Afterall, the scriptures say that he (infinite saws) (and Maryam (infinite saws)) were both people that had to eat their daily bread, "And the apostles whom We sent before thee were all (men) who ate food and walked through the streets: We have made some of you as a trial for others: will ye have patience? for God is One Who sees (all things)." ~ Holy Quran Al Furqan 20
Thus, there is the need for, even, these men (Al Anbiya, the Prophets) to be nourished and sustained. Is this justification enough for charging people for medical services. I would have to answer that it certainly doesn't give another person the right to demand, command or order a holy person to heal them for free; nor when that holy person does not wish to. Contrarily, is there a price that anyone can place on The Spirit of Allah, or one's own spirit, and this becomes an alarming concern as neither should be sold.
Sahih Al Bukhari Vol. 4 Book of Medicine
Whenever Allah's Apostle went to bed, he used to recite Surat-al-Ikhlas, Surat-al-Falaq and Surat-an-Nas and then blow on his palms and pass them over his face and those parts of his body that his hands could reach. And when he fell ill, he used to order me to do like that for him.

Then the chief of that tribe was bitten by a snake (or stung by a scorpion) and he was given all sorts of treatment, but all in vain. Some of them said, "Will you go to the group (those travelers) who have dismounted near you and see if one of them has something useful?" They came to them and said, "O the group! Our leader has been bitten by a snake (or stung by a scorpion) and we have treated him with everything but nothing benefited him Has anyone of you anything useful?" One of them replied, "Yes, by Allah, I know how to treat with a Ruqya. But. by Allah, we wanted you to receive us as your guests but you refused.

But the one who treated with the Ruqya said, "Do not do that till we go to Allah's Apostle and mention to him what has happened, and see what he will order us." So they came to Allah's Apostle and mentioned the story to him and he said, "How do you know that Surat-al-Fatiha is a Ruqya? You have done the right thing.

This Sunnah, obviously, makes it permissible to charge people for medical services in Al-Islam, and further gives the treating physician/religious scholar the discretion whether to charge or not charge. Compare this snakebite treatment to the scripture which reads: "Numbers 21:1 The Canaanite king of Arad, who lived in the Negev, heard that the Israelites were approaching on the road to Atharim. So he attacked the Israelites and took some of them as prisoners. 2 Then the people of Israel made this vow to the LORD: "If you will help us conquer these people, we will completely destroy all their towns." 3 The LORD heard their request and gave them victory over the Canaanites. The Israelites completely destroyed them and their towns, and the place has been called Hormah ever since. 4 Then the people of Israel set out from Mount Hor, taking the road to the Red Sea to go around the land of Edom. But the people grew impatient along the way, 5 and they began to murmur against God and Moses. "Why have you brought us out of Egypt to die here in the wilderness?" they complained. "There is nothing to eat here and nothing to drink. And we hate this wretched manna!" 6 So the LORD sent poisonous snakes among them, and many of them were bitten and died. 7 Then the people came to Moses and cried out, "We have sinned by speaking against the LORD and against you. Pray that the LORD will take away the snakes." So Moses prayed for the people. 8 Then the LORD told him, "Make a replica of a poisonous snake and attach it to the top of a pole. Those who are bitten will live if they simply look at it!" 9 So Moses made a snake out of bronze and attached it to the top of a pole. Whenever those who were bitten looked at the bronze snake, they recovered!" Contrast the Numbers passage above with the content at this link: The Caduceus as a symbol of Medicine also, some points of concern and reflection upon this post and the content of the Caduceus link with: Forbidden Najwa, Laghwa and Gharrar. Also check The Romans blog investigation that I performed. It has an additional post within it on pagan gods of ancient Rome and Greece.
Sahih Al Bukhari Vol. 4 Book of Medicine
The Prophet used to treat some of his wives by passing his right hand over the place of ailment and used to say, "O Lord of the people! Remove the difficulty and bring about healing as You are the Healer. There is no healing but Your Healing, a healing that will leave no ailment."
Sahih Al Bukhari Vol. 4 Book of Medicine
The Prophet used to say to the patient, "In the Name of Allah The earth of our land and the saliva of some of us cure our patient."
Thus, this is work that is being done in the Spirit of Allah or Ruhh Al Quddus...by the Spirit of Allah or Ruhh Al Quddus. I support this observation with the ayat,
[16:102]
"Say, the Holy Spirit has brought the revelation from thy Lord in Truth, in order to strengthen those who believe, and as a Guide and Glad Tidings to Muslims."
So what becomes the problem? The problem arises when person A, who goes to Allah (swt) for what it is that they need, comes across person B, who likes to source humans or (holy men and women) for the healing that they need from the spirit. Important to note: this is a problem that is in all of the 4 major faith groups in various ways. Again, each group has guilt, in this, in various ways. It becomes kind of like being robbed for those that go to The Source or One God. I would like to cite, at this time, 2 earlier blogs: Some Notes on the Bible; and Those that Sap. There is a correlation with being someone that is in a sapped state and being one that saps others. Thus, the 2 states can be toggled in the Proverb of Nabi Sulaimon (infinite saws) mentioned, therein. Spirit of Allah.
[2:183]
O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that ye may (learn) self-restraint,-
[2:184]
(Fasting) for a fixed number of days; but if any of you is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed number (Should be made up) from days later. For those who can do it (With hardship), is a ransom, the feeding of one that is indigent. But he that will give more, of his own free will,- it is better for him. And it is better for you that ye fast, if ye only knew. Reference to a similar scenario may be needed here:
[58:4]
And he who findeth not (the wherewithal), let him fast for two successive months before they touch one another; and for him who is unable to do so (the penance is) the feeding of sixty needy ones. This, that ye may put trust in Allah and His messenger. Such are the limits (imposed by Allah); and for disbelievers is a painful doom.
[2:185]
Ramadhan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur’an, as a guide to mankind, also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (Between right and wrong). So every one of you who is present (at his home) during that month should spend it in fasting, but if any one is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed period (Should be made up) by days later. God intends every facility for you; He does not want to put to difficulties. (He wants you) to complete the prescribed period, and to glorify Him in that He has guided you; and perchance ye shall be grateful.
This investigation was, by no means, exhaustive. There are still areas like "Parable of the Roman Officer" in the Injeel and questions such as "Forbidden Fruit" (on earth) However, it was a sincere crack at the issue of healing in religion. Forgiveness is like being healed, it is hard for a person to heal or recover that continues to do the things that angered Allah (swt), initially. I close with Surahtul Qadr of the Holy Quran, essentially, Allah's costs (time spent in fasting the month of Ramadan) for the Spirit to His (swt) worshippers:
Power or Decree
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
[97:1]
We have indeed revealed this (Message) in the Night of Power:
[97:2]
And what will explain to thee what the night of power is?
[97:3]
The Night of Power is better than a thousand months.
[97:4]
Therein come down the angels and the Spirit by God’s permission, on every errand:
[97:5]
Peace!...This until the rise of morn!

Some notes on the Bible
"If thou fearest treachery from any group, throw back (their covenant) to them, (so as to be) on equal terms: for God loveth not the treacherous." - This is difficult to do if one has not examined the Kitab. One should not examine the Kitab until they have spent at least 4 years studying the Quran intensively. And if you obtain a Kitab make sure you obtain one that does not have the symbol of the Trinity on it for Allah has said, "Trinity desist." They do sell them without it on them. One must also maintain that about 15 to 20% of the Kitab is false/erroneous and about 80 to 85% is valid historical and prophetic evidence. These points are concerning those that claim that a man and Prophet of Allah should be a sacrifice for others sins (namely his flesh being the bread and his blood being the wine for the purpose of redemption from sins). Within the Kitab itself is a refutation to this concept.
Sacrifices outside of the Sacred Precincts are forbidden by strict law. Live, healthy animals must be presented to the entrance of the Tabernacle (in Israel) and given to the High Priest. The animal cannot have a bite taken out of it; nor be partially eatten. Individuals must not attempt to assume that they are Levite Priests and begin portioning the meats and grilling them upon an altar out in the fields(incidentally a grill is not a Sacrificial Altar. So I am not referring to a friendly act of barbequeing)...an altar erected by themselves. Individuals must stop thinking that slaughtering an animal for consumption is like slaughtering an animal for a sacrificial offering to Allah or themselves, as if they are "gods". Leviticus 22 - strict law forbids that the sacrificial meals be consumed by anyones other than the Levite Priests and the familial members of the Levite Priests households. Can any of us (non Levite Priests; nor even a Nazirite) sacrifice a life and then partake of the sacrificial offering meal ourselves, as a Sacrificial Offering Religious Rite, in the Name of Yahweh?
And, of course, the Book of Malachi will shut the Temple doors to blind, defective, lame, diseased animals as offerings to Allah and some of the Prophecies of Malachi are useful instruction here, as well, on building relations with the Supreme God.
The consumption of the blood has got to be one of the more subtler extreme offenses of the communal spirit of Faith in the One God, Allah. Its penalty is banishment from amongst the community of Faithful, Believers of Israel...exile from the land, as well as, Allah setting His Face against those that consume blood in any form. Allah setting His Face against anyone is the opposite of salvation, the opposite of happiness and bliss, the oposite of life, and the opposite if Eternal blessings from Himself...it is in fact death, destruction, wrath and torment. It is void of the blessings and mercies of God for Him to set His Face against someone.
Perhaps it is a likeness to the Tree of Life, in that, the life spirit flows through the blood and what is being attempted is to find life increase by the consumption of the blood, thus, the consumption of the life spirit of the creature or human. And I speculate that this is the likeness of the type of life fruit consumption that has been made forbidden to us even from the Garden of Eden (which according to Quranul Kareem will no longer be a trial for those who make it safely back to Paradise).
Leviticus 17
Eating Blood Forbidden [With Al-Islam blood has been forbidden and wine has been forbidden for us.]
1 The LORD said to Moses, 2 "Speak to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israelites and say to them: 'This is what the LORD has commanded: 3 Any Israelite who sacrifices an ox, a lamb or a goat in the camp or outside of it 4 instead of bringing it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting to present it as an offering to the LORD in front of the tabernacle of the LORD--that man shall be considered guilty of bloodshed; he has shed blood and must be cut off from his people. 5 This is so the Israelites will bring to the LORD the sacrifices they are now making in the open fields. They must bring them to the priest, that is, to the LORD, at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and sacrifice them as fellowship offerings. 6 The priest is to sprinkle the blood against the altar of the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and burn the fat as an aroma pleasing to the LORD. 7 They must no longer offer any of their sacrifices to the goat idols to whom they prostitute themselves. This is to be a lasting ordinance for them and for the generations to come.' 8 "Say to them: 'Any Israelite or any alien living among them who offers a burnt offering or sacrifice 9 and does not bring it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting to sacrifice it to the LORD--that man must be cut off from his people. 10 " 'Any Israelite or any alien living among them who eats any blood--I will set my face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from his people. 11 For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one's life. 12 Therefore I say to the Israelites, "None of you may eat blood, nor may an alien living among you eat blood." 13 " 'Any Israelite or any alien living among you who hunts any animal or bird that may be eaten must drain out the blood and cover it with earth, 14 because the life of every creature is its blood. That is why I have said to the Israelites, "You must not eat the blood of any creature, because the life of every creature is its blood; anyone who eats it must be cut off." 15 " 'Anyone, whether native-born or alien, who eats anything found dead or torn by wild animals must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be ceremonially unclean till evening; then he will be clean. 16 But if he does not wash his clothes and bathe himself, he will be held responsible.' " [Thus, it seems that if Allah was in to human sacrifices they would have to bring the human unblemished, nor lame, nor blind, nor defective, and without a bite taken out of him, nor diseased, nor already dead, etc. to the entrance of the Tabernacle in Israel...not any other country, and present him to the Levite Priests who would then portion the meat and roast it on the altar.] But, we do understand that our solution in Al-Islam for the Sacrificial Offering is the Hajj Sacrifice that has been prescribed for us. Right?
Thieves in their many manifestations, as well as, those that lie (or swear falsely) by the Name of Allah (God, Yahweh, Adonai, Eli, Ilah, Elohim, Eloah, El, and all of His Sacred Names) will be banished from the land (which means from amongst the "People of Faith in Allah) and their homes will be completely destroyed by the curse of this Scroll that will be sent into the house of everyone that does these 2 things. Nothing will remain not even it's timbers nor stones. Further, sin will be collected into a basket, which will include the woman named "Wickedness" herself, and carried away from the land. Now combine this with the banishment of Leviticus 17.
Zecahriah 5
Flying Scroll
1 I looked up again and saw a scroll flying through the air. 2 "What do you see?" the angel asked."I see a flying scroll," I replied. "It appears to be about thirty feet long and fifteen feet wide. " 3 Then he said to me, "This scroll contains the curse that is going out over the entire land. One side says that those who steal will be banished from the land; the other side says that those who swear falsely will be banished from the land. 4 And this is what the LORD Almighty says: I am sending this curse into the house of every thief and into the house of everyone who swears falsely by my name. And my curse will remain in that house until it is completely destroyed -- even its timbers and stones."
Their is an ethical system to committing oneself to the spirit and community of charity, which was the communal life of the early followers of the Moshiach (Messiah, Al Masihu). In addition there is the very important instruction not to lie to the Holy Spirit which is the Spirit of the community of people of Faith in the One God, Allah.
Acts 5
The Communal Spirit and its relationship with Charity
1 There was also a man named Ananias who, with his wife, Sapphira, sold some property. 2 He brought part of the money to the apostles, but he claimed it was the full amount. His wife had agreed to this deception. 3 Then Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart? You lied to the Holy Spirit, and you kept some of the money for yourself. 4 The property was yours to sell or not sell, as you wished. And after selling it, the money was yours to give away. How could you do a thing like this? You weren't lying to us but to God." 5 As soon as Ananias heard these words, he fell to the floor and died. Everyone who heard about it was terrified. 6 Then some young men wrapped him in a sheet and took him out and buried him. 7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 Peter asked her, "Was this the price you and your husband received for your land?""Yes," she replied, "that was the price." 9 And Peter said, "How could the two of you even think of doing a thing like this -- conspiring together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Just outside that door are the young men who buried your husband, and they will carry you out, too." 10 Instantly, she fell to the floor and died. When the young men came in and saw that she was dead, they carried her out and buried her beside her husband. 11 Great fear gripped the entire church and all others who heard what had happened
At Mark 10 [Here is the formal invitation to the communal life evolved in Acts 5 and what some of the stipulations for that lifestyle consists of.]
17 As he was starting out on a trip, a man came running up to Jesus, knelt down, and asked, "Good Teacher, what should I do to get eternal life?" 18 "Why do you call me good?" Jesus asked. "Only God is truly good. 19 But as for your question, you know the commandments: 'Do not murder. Do not commit adultery. Do not steal. Do not testify falsely. Do not cheat. Honor your father and mother.' " 20 "Teacher," the man replied, "I've obeyed all these commandments since I was a child." 21 Jesus felt genuine love for this man as he looked at him. "You lack only one thing," he told him. "Go and sell all you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." 22 At this, the man's face fell, and he went sadly away because he had many possessions. 23 Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it is for rich people to get into the Kingdom of God!" 24 This amazed them. But Jesus said again, "Dear children, it is very hard to get into the Kingdom of God. 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!" 26 The disciples were astounded. "Then who in the world can be saved?" they asked. 27 Jesus looked at them intently and said, "Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God."
Spirit of Allah
Spirit or Ruh in the Holy Quran and in the Truth of the Kitab and the mighty powers that the Spirit or Ruh has for construction and destruction and devastation. Not just of a body, but, of a community(s) and cities, etc. This is a good order to know when in lands controlled by Ahli Kitab. It is like a powerful roadmap away from the fitnah that can surface in lands void of the Quranic laws of Allah especially when used in dua. Also Allah asks us to throw back on them their covenant with Allah...and these verses, which I have shared with you, are very powerful in their benefits for believers when used in that way. I guess we can call some of these videos in this series "Remind them of their Covenant upon them 101" which is very difficult to do if person has not read the Bible. The effects of these laws change with the updates from the Quran
