Dapping and Salaaming Reflection

 

Bismi Allahi Al Rahmani Al Raheemi.

ASA WR WB to believing Muslim friends.

Very common saying with those who were a little older than me growing up: 

"Give me five. - Person extends hand to younger to slap it.

On the backhand side. - Person turns around same hand extended to younger but palm flipped downward.

Up high. - Person extends hand up for a high-5.

Down low. - Person extends hand low, but snatches it back before the younger can slap it, and says,

"Too slow." 

Gotta go."

[When we were younger in Chicago. Kindergarten through probably 5th grade you could repeat this with us over and over again. Dapping and handshakes were a big part of our culture. And it wasn't any handshakes. The handshakes were so cool it was like you got strengthened, tightened up, or a haircut or something. With my older cousins being Nupes-Greek Letter Org members my handshakes with them were pretty dope. The psychology of affirmations similar to extending the salaams, although technically the salaams are more powerful because a dua to Allah (swt) is involved.] #DapCulture #SalaamCulture 

To not disturb the spiritual balance and spiritual peace for those reading this about the being "strengthened, tightened up, or a haircut or something" regarding dapping and salaams, I will reference the Proverb of Sulaimon (epbuh) 

"Proverbs 27:17 
17 As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend." 

Confirming from Nabi Muhammad (epbuh) that the plight of weakness and oppression and their cultivations are evil and must be moved away from. We cannot cause it or grow it. It has to be because the person caused it or grew it themselves.

Allah (swt) understand entrapment, cultivation, planting evidence, etc. and is Most Wise.

The Sheikhs in Tablighi Jumaat would say to us something along the lines, "Allah (swt) gives more blessings to the Muslim brother who extends the greetings of salaams (but more blessings are for the one who's salaam is longer. Example As Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmautllah Wa Barakatuh when someone extended ASA) and his hand first to shake the hand of another Muslim brother. (the Sheikhs would further say) Be the first to extend the salaams and the hand and the last to release the handshake. Allah (swt) causes the sins to drop off of the hands of 2 brothers shaking hands." This would confirm sometimes with a vision from Allah (swt) of darkness dropping from the hands in handshakes. As if bearing witness to the Truth of this with own eyes but in a vision. Chicago had many schools of thought in Islam.

Jazakum Allahu Khayran

The Quran, Psalms and Proverbs can not be invalidated because of misinterpretations of events in the lives of the Anbiya nor in the correct interpretations

Bismi Allahi Al Rahmani Al Raheemi
Aoudhubillahi minal shaitanir rajeem

You may not have heard this one. So, I'm sharing it.
Sometimes when a Muslim contributes to inter-Faith discourse with a "Correction" or "Corrected Perspective" on Scriptures via Law from Quran or Kitab (sometimes the corrected perspective is in the Kitab, example was Dr Naik's post yesterday from the "Good Teacher" passage of the Injeel) we might get an attempt to discredit or invalidate that contribution due to a Hadith.
The Hadith is the account of Abu Bakr (ra) promising Aisha (ra) to Nabi Muhammad (saws), what was it? at age 6 or 9? It subsequently turns into an invalidation and discredit of the Nabi (saws) due to implicating the behavior as a pedophile, and thus any advice unworthy and irrelevant from him (saws), or possibly more specifically the group, or even more specifically the sub-group of the group who interpret his marriage to a 6 or 9 year old lawful behavior.
The problem with this, and I have not looked at this hadith in many years so going off of memory today, is that we were not really given any idea of when the marriage happened or was consummated. In other words the Nabi (saws) might have been promised her when she was 6 or 9 as an arranged marriage but did not actually consummate the engagement or marriage until she was 18 or 21 years of age. We don't, or at least, I didn't see any more details of that, so it leaves open the possibility it was a promise or arrangement that may have not been fulfilled until she was of age.
It all comes back to regardless of what happened we still have to receive the Corrections of Allah (swt). Nabi Daoud (epbuh) slept with Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah the Hittite who was one of David's best soldiers who refused to leave his post in service to David. David had already committed the act with Bathsheba and it became clear she had become pregnant and David wanted Uriah to think it was his. Because Uriah refused to go home and be with his wife, Nabi Daoud (epbuh) sent Uriah to the thick of a combat situation and then withdrew the other soldiers and Uriah was felled in battle. This prompted a Judgment from Allah (swt) through Nathan the Priest (as). Bathsheba would later give birth to King Solomon (epbuh). There were rumbles about the character and ethics of Solomon (as) and the many wives and if he had committed blasphemy at the Pagan Temples of some of his wives to which Allah (swt) defends Nabi Sulaimon (as) at Baqarah Ayat 102-103, "The blasphemers were not Solomon, but the evil ones teaching magic and such things as came down to the Angels Harut and Marut at Babylon..."
But either way whether it is Nabi Muhammad, Nabi Daoud, or Nabi Sulaimon (epbut) it is not our place to judge them. Only Allah (swt) can Judge His Anbiya (epbut). It is for us to accept the Corrections that they brought in the Holy Words of Allah (swt) through them kept in writing in Allah's Holy Books.
The Quran, Psalms and Proverbs can not be invalidated because of misinterpretations of events in the lives of the Anbiya nor in the correct interpretation as in the case of King David (epbut). David did what he did, but we still got to respect the Psalms.

This is Another Nice Thing to Ask Allah (swt)

 

Bismi Allahi Al Rahmani Al Raheemi

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

This is another nice thing to ask Allah (swt). Bismi Allahi Yaumul Awwal Wal Yaumul Huwa Wal Yaumul Akhir. Inna Lillahi Wa Innaa Ilaihi Rejeun.

When it comes to someone in the seen or unseen insulting and/or injuring you (and I will show you with an Ayah how I expanded the meaning of insult to include injure) this can be a problematic thing because it can impede your ability to be productive in your days and years. 

Allah (swt) has sworn by the Soul and the Proportion and Order given to it and it's enlightenment as to what is good for it and what is bad for it. So at some point Allah (swt) enlightens the person to recognize in their soul when someone is harmful to them. Could you imagine having to deal with this type of person for a couple or few decades because by their appearance they seem to be very nice, but in the unseen they are afflicting the heck out of you? Preferring to do what harms and not what benefits. Can click the images to enlarge them if difficult to read.

Allah (swt) teaches us a word for injury that includes the meaning of insult. He does this when He revealed that we should not cancel our charity by injury. But the word for injury also means to insult  أَذًى.

Now that we have this expanded definition of injury to include insult we can look at a Proverb from Nabi Sulaimon (as). It reads Proverbs 18:23 NLT - "The poor plead for mercy; the rich answer with insults."

This Proverb from Nabi Sulaimon (epbuh) really is supreme wisdom, but it doesn't become clear why until we take a visit to Nabi Isa Al Masihu Ibn Maryam (epbut). Nabi Isa (as) said in the Injeel at Matthew 19 that, 

"20 “I’ve obeyed all these commandments,” the young man replied. “What else must I do?” 21 Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” 22 But when the young man heard this, he went away sad, for he had many possessions. 23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “I tell you the truth, it is very hard for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. 24 I’ll say it again—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!” 25 The disciples were astounded. “Then who in the world can be saved?” they asked. 26 Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.” 

Now when looking back at the Proverb of Nabi Sulaimon (epbuh) we can see the category of "rich" expand to include those who "insult" and "injure" the poor (which we can imagine "poor" includes the pious subjects of Allah (swt) or people of Faith).

Therefore now that we are combining the Proverb of Nabi Sulaimon with the verses of the Messiah in the Injeel we can ask Allah (swt) to render the trial of the Messiah upon the "Rich" unto those who "Insult" and "Injure" us in the seen, and especially in the unseen where it seems we have no recourse except to pray to Allah (swt)...but the costs and impacts of the insults and injuries are long and far reaching...effecting finances, suitability for marriage, charting career paths, building a home, raising kids, credibility in the community, etc.

I may intend to add more to this. I will stop now with a post that I left on social media about a fine restomod organization in South Africa that works on Porsches. The reason why this is so important a topic is because while Allah (swt) has warned us of the consequences of amassing excessive riches and treasures on Earth, He (swt) has also warned us against being weak and oppressed in plight on Earth...that we have to improve from impoverished positions in life. We are not to be cast out into and feed upon trash, filth, and sewage. We have to keep ourselves, our communities, streams and waterways, etc. clean of filth, sewage, and pollution. Here is the ayah before my excerpt on social media, and by this we can see that there is a top consideration and a bottom consideration. This makes me think of Nabi Yusuf (epbuh) and the cyclical nature of life and how Nabi Yusuf (as) instructs us to seek the Golden Mean which is Optimus or Optimum. To save in Maximus for use in Minimus to maintain status of Optimus.

Would I spend 6 figures USD on a restomod Porsche from Dutchmann in South Africa. Probably wouldn't make it to SA. I'd probably get a $50k new Subaru or VW. But this vid is like museum art on photo & video...finishes, furnishings, color palettes, etc...

Subarus and VWs probably wouldn't run $50k unless they were EV's. Also there are some decent American makes that are $50k & less. What I was getting at & failed to mention was though I couldn't afford these Porsches, it is nice that he does that work. Just taking this moment to view this video was like visiting an art gallery. I am not telling men (who need money and wives) not to buy those very expensive cars Bugattis, Aston Martins, etc. However I am saying that for the everyday practical Muslim a modest and moderate vehicle would probably be along the lines of what the Nabi (saws) would prescribe. Wow, the connections needed for that building process...and that in itself is beautiful...all the people that he puts to work on those car projects. They are putting food on their tables and feeding and clothing their families. In that we can see the benefit, though it is still extravagant.

It is the same thing in building homes. If a person has the knowledge to design and build $50 million plantation estates in Hawaii or estates in South Miami (to sell) then should they not pursue it? Then is it vain to get the know-how of Architecture or Automobile restoration and modification. If we make that know-how vain then do we make the pursuit of knowledge and education vain? I think it is tied to the individual because they have to be very careful about wanting riches and treasures on the Earth as it can cost them the Heavens. It rests on the individual and their relationship with Allah, Charity, etc. I am going to do a blog post to research this topic. I don't claim to know everything so I am going to research it. But I think the Law is that we have to be very careful about amassing great treasure and riches on Earth. It takes careful and difficult considerations in the rich category to return to the Heavens. "Yafrahu Al Muminun." - Surahtul Rumi...something to remember in vids below about the contemporary Romans. Turning something that was scrap metal for the junk yard pile into this is very intelligent. It was headed to the scrap yard.

Another example of this artform and the relevance of education would be Arkonik Defender: Turning something that was scrap metal for the junk yard pile into this is very intelligent. It was headed to the scrap yard.

An Expanded Reflection on Hindering. This Nuance is Worth Visiting This Topic Again in the Same Day.

Hindering 3 graphics
Who should be hindered, stagnated, stunted and frustrated in the land.
Who should not be hindered, stagnated, stunted and frustrated in the land.
Proverb of Nabi Sulaimon (epbuh)

I know...I can hardly believe it either but I have a further reflection on Hindering. Check out this beautiful nuance of the Holy Scriptures and Holy Words of Allah (swt).

1. I will post here the 3 Hindering Graphics containing the Sacred Ayats of Quran. Self explanatory. And I added the Bankruptcy Hadith again. Nabi Muhammad (epbuh)

2. I will post here who should be hindered according to the Holy Quran. 1. Those who shed blood through the land; 2. Those who spread mischief through the land.

3. I will try to post here the correlation to the Ministry of Nabi Salih (epbuh). Nabi Salih's Ministry establishes who should not be hindered, stagnated, stunted and frustrated through the land. Can use the scroll bar at the bottom of the blog. But you have probably already read this. They are not to obstruct Faith that is combined with Righteousness and Productivity.

"2. I will post here who should be hindered according to the Holy Quran. 1. Those who shed blood through the land; 2. Those who spread mischief through the land.

3. ...They are not to obstruct Faith that is combined with Righteousness and Productivity."

4. So, not trying to be redundant. The difference here is that of "Who should be obstructed." versus "Who should not be obstructed." I had never actually put into words that statement from Allah (swt). And this is an expansion on the "Hindering and Bankruptcy" passages of the Holy Quran. 

However I want to take the reflection a step further and mention something that Nabi Sulaimon (epbuh) said. First let me set it up by saying what has been happening to some of us is that those who should be hindered are not being hindered and those who should not be hindered are being hindered. And so that is a flipping or turning upside down the Order or Ruling from Allah (swt). But when that happens Nabi Sulaimon (epbuh) rendered a Judgement against that type of thing. Nabi Sulaimon (epbuh) said about Evil People or Wicked People who are called Zalimun in Arabic:

5. Closing with short reflection on Zalimun

Must beware of abusing, oppressing, being unjust, tormenting, and torturing believing Muslims

Bismi Allahi Al Rahmani Al Raheemi
ASA WR WB to believing Muslim Friends:
Sometimes abuse, oppression, injustice, torment, and torture of believing Muslim(s) can come from the most unexpected places. These types of things Allah (swt) has categorized as Zalimat and those who do them are categorized as Zalimun. Please see all the Graphics attached.
Graphics 1 and 2 are definitions of Zalama with same definition but 2 different notes on the bottom of notecard.
Graphic 3 Nabi Sulaimon (as) through the Holy Wisdom of Allah (swt) revealed Holy Verses indicated that sometimes the poor are victims of Zalimat, even the poor that have land (or resources) which can produce plenty of (halal) crops.
Graphic 4 Nabi Musa Wa Nabi Harun (as) reveal through the Holy Wisdom of Allah (swt) in the Torah that sometimes widows and orphans are the victims of Zalimat.
Graphic 5 and 6 Nabi Muhammed (saws) reveals through the Holy Wisdom of Allah (swt) in a Hadith and Ayat of Quran that sometimes believing Muslims are victims of Zalimat.
But the reality is clear in the Holy Quran, "Must beware of abusing, oppressing, being unjust, tormenting, and torturing believing Muslims."
We can see the Reality of the Penalty from Allah (swt) for Zalimat from the Graphic of Verse from Nabi Musa Wa Nabi Harun (as). We can also see the Reality of the Penalty from Allah (swt) for Zalimat from 4 Evidences from Nabi Muhammed (saws):
1. Section as Ayats 2:191 & 217 (only focus on the section of these Ayats that say "Tumult and Oppression are worse than slaughter") combine this with;
2. Surahtul Nisa Ayat 93 (the penalty for intentionally killing a Muslim is Jehanum) combine these 2 points with;
3. Surahtul Insan Ayat 31 (that Allah (swt) did not create Jannah (His Heavens) for the Zalimun, and finally add to the Judgement from the Torah through Nabi Musa Wa Nabi Harun (as) that for practices of Zalimat upon widows and orphans, if they cry out to Allah (swt) His Anger Will Blaze forth against the Zalimun and He will release the Sword from His Own Presence against those who doing that to them. Finally add;
4. The Hadith from Nabi Muhammed (saws) that reveals the Bankruptcy Lawsuits on the Day of Judgement that would seem to inevitably (considering all the evidence thus far) cause the Zalimun to lose eternal life in the Heavens and go to eternal life in Hellfire.
What is perhaps the Most Frightening thing about Allah (swt) is that these things can happen in the Twinkling or Blink of an eye, and this is what keeps believing Muslims wanting to act right all the time. As per the Ayat of Quranul Kareem, "And Our Command is but a single (Act),- like the twinkling of an eye." ~ Surahtul Qamar Ayat 50. But, it does not hurt to politely and reverently ask Allah (swt) to bring forth the penalties against those who practice Zalim on you when it has been painfully unfair and unjust.
But again, "Sometimes abuse, oppression, injustice, torment, and torture of believing Muslim(s) can come from the most unexpected places.", and the reality is clear in the Holy Quran, "Must beware of abusing, oppressing, being unjust, tormenting, and torturing believing Muslims."

A Collection of Chapters Against the Zalimun

[Aoudhubillahi x ∞]

As Salaamu Alaikum to Believing Muslim Friends.

May the eternal peace and blessings from Allah (swt) be upon Nabi Sulaimon (as), Al Masihu Isa ibn Maryam (as), and upon Nabi Muhammed (saws). The three Holy Prophets whose Holy Words are the service of this blog post. Ameen.

Table of Contents:

Chapter 1 – A Selection of Verses Against the Zalimun in the Holy Quran

Chapter 3 – The Collection Against the Evil in Proverbs

Chapter 4 – The Collection Against the Oppressors in Proverbs and Psalms

[Also, in the past the present and the future, whenever I quote the word "godly" from NLT it was literally translated from the Hebrew word "Sadiq" which means "the righteous" and connotes similarity to the Arabic word "Sidiq" which means "the trustworthy; friend; truthful"...therefore whenever (past, present, and future) that I quote this term I am intending "People of God". NLT has decided that they wanted to translate the Hebrew that way and it is their perogative. Reason being that for the word "godly" the Greek suffix "ly" means "like" and there is none like God.]

People of Faith; the Poor; Minorities; People of Color; and really all People should have tremendous interest in the research of God's Verses against the Zalimun. Certainly all people should have this concern, but, particularly People of Fatih; the Poor; Minorities; and People of Color should have interest and concern for these verses because of the Spirit of Justice that is in them. But, Faith and Belief in God and His Holy Books are prerequisites for that Spirit of Justice. As Allah (swt) has said, "Basira Falinafsihi" that, "What the person sees is for the benefit of their soul."

This is long. But, not as long as my actual research on this. I left out a couple of Chapters. To Allah (swt) belongs the Honor, the Praise, the Glory. Forever and ever. Ameen.

Chapter 1 – A Collection of Verses Against the Zalimun in the Holy Quran

““For me, I intend to let thee draw on thyself my sin as well as thine,1 for thou wilt be among the companions of the fire, and that is the reward of those who do wrong. (Zalimun)””

~ Surantul Maidah Ayat 29 – Verse against Cain for slaying his brother Abel

“21 “You have heard that our ancestors were told, ‘You must not murder. If you commit murder, you are subject to judgment.’ 22 But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell. 23 “So if you are presenting a sacrifice at the altar in the Temple and you suddenly remember that someone has something against you, 24 leave your sacrifice there at the altar. Go and be reconciled to that person. Then come and offer your sacrifice to God. 25 “When you are on the way to court with your adversary, settle your differences quickly. Otherwise, your accuser may hand you over to the judge, who will hand you over to an officer, and you will be thrown into prison. 26 And if that happens, you surely won’t be free again until you have paid the last penny.”

~ Matthew 5:21-26 – Verses establishing cursing a brother or sister in faith unjustly equivalent to murder

“Never should a believer kill a believer; but (If it so happens) by mistake,1 (Compensation is due): If one (so) kills a believer, it is ordained that he should free a believing slave, and pay compensation to the deceased?s family, unless they remit it freely. If the deceased belonged to a people at war with you, and he was a believer, the freeing of a believing slave (Is enough). If he belonged to a people with whom ye have treaty of Mutual alliance, compensation should be paid to his family, and a believing slave be freed. For those who find this beyond their means, (is prescribed) a fast for two months running: by way of repentance to God. for God hath all knowledge and all wisdom.”

~ Surahtul Nisa Ayat 92

“They followed what the evil ones1 gave out (falsely) against the power of Solomon: the blasphemers Were, not Solomon, but the evil ones, teaching men Magic, and such things as came down at Babylon to the angels Harut and Marut2. But neither of these taught anyone (Such things) without saying: “We are only for trial; so do not blaspheme.” They learned from them3 the means to sow discord between man and wife. But they could not thus harm anyone except by God’s permission. And they learned what harmed them, not what profited them. And they knew that the buyers of (magic) would have no share in the happiness of the Hereafter. And vile was the price for which they did sell their souls, if they but knew!

If they had kept their Faith and guarded themselves from evil, far better had been the reward from their Lord, if they but knew!”

~ Surahtul Baqarah Ayats 102-103 [Cost of Suhr. Zalama mathala Suhr from a development in the Proverbs.]

And remember that Abraham was tried by his Lord with certain commands1, which he fulfilled: He said: “I will make thee an Imām2 to the Nations.” He pleaded: “And also (Imāms) from my offspring!” He answered: “But My Promise is not within the reach of evil-doers. (Zalimun)”

~ Surahtul Baqarah Ayat 124 [Zalimun have no leadership nor command.]

“Hast thou not Turned thy vision to one who disputed with Abraham1 About his Lord, because God had granted him power? Abraham said: “My Lord is He Who Giveth life and death.” He said: “I give life and death”. Said Abraham: “But it is God that causeth the sun to rise from the east: Do thou then cause him to rise from the West.” Thus was he confounded who (in arrogance) rejected faith. Nor doth God Give guidance to a people unjust. (Zalimun)”

~ Surahtul Baqarah Ayat 258 [Zalimun have no guidance.]

“And whatever ye spend in charity or devotion, be sure God knows it all. But the wrong-doers (Zalimun) have no helpers.”

~ Surahtul Baqarah Ayat 270 [Zalimun have no helpers.]

“As to those who believe and work righteousness, God will pay them (in full) their reward; but God loveth not those who do wrong. (Zalimun)”

~ Surahtul Ali Imran Ayat 57 [Zalimun have no Love from Allah.]

“Those who reject Faith and do wrong (Zalimun),- God will not forgive them nor guide them to any way-

Except the way of Hell, to dwell therein for ever. And this to God is easy.”

~ Surahtul Nisa Ayat 168-169 [Zalimun have no Forgiveness nor Guidance to any way except Eternal Hell.]

“He will admit to His Mercy whom He will; But the wrong-doers (Zalimun),- for them has He prepared a grievous Penalty.”

~ Surahtul Insan Ayat 31 [Zalimun have no Mercy and thus no Paradise, but only grievous Penalty and thus Hellfire.]

“Who doth more wrong than he who inventeth a lie against God or rejecteth His signs? But verily the wrong-doers (Zalimun) never shall prosper.”

~ Surahtul Anam Ayat 21 [Zalimun have no Prosperity (Falaha).]

“Send not away those who call on their Lord morning and evening, seeking His face.1 In naught art thou accountable for them, and in naught are they accountable for thee, that thou shouldst turn them away, and thus be (one) of the unjust. (Zalimun)”

~ Surahtul Anam Ayat 52 [Zalimun turn away those seeking the Face of Allah.]

“It is those who believe and confuse not their beliefs with wrong (biZulmin)- that are (truly) in security, for they are on (right) guidance.”

~ Surahtul Anam Ayat 82 [Zalimun have no security.]

“For them there is Hell, as a couch (below) and folds and folds of covering above: such is Our requital of those who do wrong. (Zalimun)”

~ Surahtul Araf Ayat 41 [Zalimun have Hell as a couch and folds and folds of covering above.]

“The Companions of the Garden will call out to the Companions of the Fire: “We have indeed found the promises of our Lord to us true: Have you also found Your Lord?s promises true?” They shall say, “Yes”; but1 a crier shall proclaim between them: “The curse of God is on the wrong-doers (Zalimun);-”

~ Surahtul Araf Ayat 44 [Zalimun have the Curse of Allah upon them.]

“Is that the better entertainment or the Tree of Zaqqūm?

For We have truly made it (as) a trial1 for the wrong-doers (Zalimun).”

~ Surahtul Saffat Ayats 62-63 [The Tree of Zaqqum is a Trial for the Zalimun.]

“We blessed him and Isaac: but of their progeny are (some) that do right, and (some) that obviously do wrong (Zalimu), to their own souls.”

~ Surahtul Saffat Ayat 113 [Zalimun do wrong to their own souls.]
