A Reflection on Trend of Rendering Irrelevant Making Lawful Money and it being Correlated to the Evil One. (Aoudhubillahi minal shaitanir rajeem)

 

Bismi Allahi Al Rahmani Al Raheemi.
Aoudhubillahi minal shaitanir rajeem.
ASA WR WB to believing Muslim friends.

When I look at a vid title against making money, I might first think it's Anti-Yusuf (epbuh) if it is not balanced with reason and logic. The Anbiya are essentially against doing it to the max. Living life to the max. But with Hikmah we can see they are against living life to the min. Because that breeds desperation and crime. They are all Yusufian (as one Fellowship of Prophets) and for living life to the Opt or Optimum or Optimus. We should love to talk about Allah and the Deen, but we also have to balance that with fulfilling obligations, engagements and emergencies or just the preventative measures for emergencies, that we may see are upon us, often times as it pertains to financial, medical, etc. concerns. #Balance Live life to the #Optimus and #GoldenMean

What are the categories of "Rich" that the Holy Scriptures of the Abrahamic Faiths, generally have profound warnings about? There are 4 categories of The Rich to be concerned about:

1. Insulting towards innocent of poor and faith
2. Injurious towards the innocent of poor and faith
3. Reminders of their generosity towards the innocent of poor and faith
4. Oppressive towards the innocent of poor and faith
5. However, generally "Does not include" the Rich and Philanthropic towards the innocent of poor and faith.  

Technically by the 1st 4 above it does not matter if they have $10 in the bank of $10+ billion they can be declared rich on the Day of Judgement.

With the main reason not to be declared rich on the Day of Reckoning or Day of Judgement is pertaining to a powerful lesson coming from Al Masihu Isa ibn Maryam (as) concerning "Not until the camel can pass through the eye of a needle" (The Scriptural references renders conclusively that "needle" is referring to a sewing needle and not a needle between mountains).

These are also the 4 categories of The Cancellation of Charity to be concerned about (reference same notecards above):

1. Insulting towards innocent of poor and faith
2. Injurious towards the innocent of poor and faith
3. Reminders of their generosity towards the innocent of poor and faith
4. Oppressive towards the innocent of poor and faith

There are 4 categories of Murderer to be concerned about:

1. Murder of innocent and/or of Faith is murder. Unless they are guilty of shedding blood through the land or spreading mischief through the land
2. Anger {or Hate} of innocent and/or of Faith can be murder through the ruin of them.
3. Calling an Idiot {or Defamation} of innocent and/or of Faith can be murder through the ruin of them.
4. Cursing which is (Lainat, Suhr, Jibti, Taghuti aka "Secret Arts" (which has beneath its umbrella: Medium, Psychic, Magic, Sorcery, Witchcraft, Spellbinding, Spellcasting, Tarot Cards, Communications with the dead, unclean spirits, evil principalities, cohabitation with Jinns in home but also in bodies (in Surahtul Jinn), etc. But also must be careful of using, because they'll lead to harvests...in addition to them being under the umbrella of possessive principalities: Najwa, Ikraha, Gharrar, Zalima.

So, when speaking to others and each other in the Deen we have to beware of these things. But especially beware of giving the evil one(s) licenses and rights over other believers. It is advised to stick rigidly to what Allah (swt) has spoken in His Holy Words against and concerning the evil one(s) while seeking refuge with Him (swt) at the mention of its name. Aoudhubillahi minal shaitanir rajeem. If you ever study the Khateebs at Mecca and Medina they have rarely used the controversial Hadiths assigning the evil ones to fellow believers attending the Jumuah services or watching the broadcasts on their televisions. 

Some of the very respected Khateebs who are like this have been:

1. Sheikh Abdul Muhsin Al Qasim (May peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.)
2. Sheikh Salaah Al Budair (May peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.)
3. Sheikh Saud Ash Shuraim (May peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.)
4. Sheikh Maher Al Muayqli (May peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.)
5. Sheikh Khalid Al Ghamdi (May peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.)
6. Sheikh Saleh Aal Taleb (May peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.)
7. Sheikh Maher Al Muayqili (May peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.)
8. Sheikh Saleh Bin Humaid (May peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.)
9. Sheikh Abdul Rahman Sudais (May peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.)
10. Sheikh Usamah Khayaat (May peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.) 

But there is one that might pronounce upon the Jumaat the Hadith of "The 3 Knots Curse" and I will not mention his name.

Prophet Malachi (epbuh) delivered from Allah (swt) some very powerful statements from Allah (swt0 on the "Burdens of Conveyance" for the Priests, Religious leaders, etc. in the Kitab. This is information that is worth noting in giving Testimony about Him and His Holy Words and in "Attestations (to vouch for)" which are, by the way, one of the definitions of Zakaha in addition to Charity and Purification, and, as mentioned under the commemoration of Dhul Kifli (Prophet Ezekiel (epbuh)) Zakaha is "The Primary Law of the Temple (Zakaha, Ikhlas, Tauhid, Ihsan, Yaqeen, Taqwa), as well as the Heavens as expressed in the Holy Quran that, "those who blaspheme (or ascribe partners to Him) are as if they had fallen from Heaven and been snatched away by a flock of powerful birds or a powerful wind to a far off distant land". But going back to Zakaha it is on the foundation of Shifa or Healing. Purification is a building block of Healing and we've just explored that with Nabi Al Yasa or Prophet Elisha (epbuh) when he healed Naaman the Leper in the Jordan River and how a shortage of water can breed Najas which breeds Disease which can led to Leprosy. The Burden of Conveyance passages are:

Next few are referencing some points made in first paragraph.

Why no interest in speaking out against Crypto currency as a quick get rich scheme (using a Proverb as included) that undermines the US dollar, or against the surge in sports gambling, or against the trend of drug and alcohol use? Or against the idea of Colonizing Mars by Baqarah 267? Or against magic mentioned further below in Hadith of Nabi Muhammad (saws) regarding some eloquent speech? Or why not instead of going to the poor and telling them to stay poor go to the rich and encourage them to give to the poor, like the mindsets of countless Prophets of Allah (epbut) did in the past? Why does it seem like unmeasured excessive asceticism would be driving in reverse? The "Preach Clear Message" Ordinance from Allah (swt) is better than pure gold. Thus, "better than pure gold" is also on the Kalimat of Allah. Corrections is the pathway to Life and the Book of Illiyin. #Balance Live life to the #Optimus and #GoldenMean

But what is the Oath of Service to Allah (swt) asked by the Messiah of the Disciples that Nabi Muhammad (epbut - and upon the faithful mentioned) asked us to emulate? Why I keep repeating this is because of the value in not causing someone visiting a House of Allah (swt) that someone there causes to slip out of because that host did not keep these functions in the forefront of their thoughts and may have themselves slipped in doing the anti-thesis of all or some of these things.

• Taught True Faith
• Healed the sick
• Cast out evil principalities
• Were a mercy to the poor
• Fed multitudes of people
• Performed Miracles

#Balance Live life to the #Optimus and #GoldenMean

The video then references the evil one being affiliated with excessive pursuit of money and the moral rot and ethical decay that ensues, and to be honest the scholars have an outstanding point. But I have to inject the hash tagged word balance after every paragraph of this post just turned blog entry. #Balance along with Live life to the #Optimus and #GoldenMean. Yes, it (the evil one) can come at people for lavish, opulence, palatial and being a spendthrift but (that word balance again) it comes at desperation also, that is further reflected in Nisa 97 (image further down). That when it is later going to be imperative to be able to answer stern Angels about your plight on Earth and any subsequent bending to Zalim due to desperation. You see how there it heads to Jehanum. See? #Balance Live life to the #Optimus and #GoldenMean

It is not like we did not see what Allah (swt) spoke against being spendthrifts. Many of us do not push the verse out of consideration for the wealthy. A scholar would basically corner a person into mentioning an Order like against spendthrifts by shutting down natural pursuits of the provisions and bounties of Allah (swt). #Balance Live life to the #Optimus and #GoldenMean

The biggest enormity of "inert" Classical Conditioning founded by Nabi Sulaimon (epbuh) in Proverb against rewarding good with evil is coming from Surahtul Saba (Chapter of Sheba) in "Prolonged Journey Stages". No gains, rewards for working good causes the person to not be able to? Rest or get to their necessary rest stations and rest periods. Classical Conditioning being made inert is to make doing good futile and a Sisyphean Condition and Nabi Sulaimon (epbuh) in his Wisdom from Allah (swt) saw the deep problem with that. Evil will never leave that because that implicates a reward system for evil, while good will never come back because it has no rewards and no rests. 2 notecards right above this paragraph. This has a lot to do with "Conveyance".

Does not Allah (swt) ask us to move ourselves away from evil, weakness, and oppression? Then what are those? Why did God speak against Oppression of the Poor by the Poor or Oppression of the Poor by the Rich? Why is there a category of resisting Faith in Allah (swt) called Zalimun? What is oppression? Is it a religious topic? Why is it something that God mentioned? I include the Ayats on these. #Balance Live life to the #Optimus and #GoldenMean

But Allah (swt) kind of also gives us an Ordinance to seek of His (swt) bounties after Jumuah Salaat. That means it is lawful to make money and maintain yourselves and responsibilities. #Balance Live life to the #Optimus and #GoldenMean

In Anfali 72-73, Allah (swt) is asking us here to learn best practices from other groups. Don't get caught up too much on use of word Kafirun & go too judgmental rather than observant. So, for example, the S. Koreans, Japanese, Chinese, & most other people extend trade ties to transact with other nations but to the benefit of their own people. Muslims have to be this way. #Balance Live life to the #Optimus and #GoldenMean

Otherwise, each person's loss is their own, and there is the learning as fools are taught or Mujahilun. #Balance Live life to the #Optimus and #GoldenMean

Bismi Allahi Al Rahmani Al Raheemi

Aoudhubillahi minal Shaitanir Rajeem

May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon Nabi Muhammad (epbuh) for all the verses of His that I have used in my blogs; and upon all the other Prophets whose verses are mentioned here and in other blogs of mine.

ASA WR WB to believing Muslim friends:

In Bayaans and Khutbahs in Al Islam should be considered that we do not want to in warning to beware of Shaitan, to then actually give license or leverage to Shaitans over other innocent people of Faith. There are a number of reasons why, that I will give below these two examples of Hadiths, that do the very thing that we do not want to do to one another in Al Islam. We do not want to use Command or Amr to bring these things into reality for people coming to the Masjid. Fortunately, but unfortunately, there are only a dozen or more of these types of Hadiths that we must beware of speaking into being with Command or Amr. If any of these graphics cannot be read, then please click them to enlarge them.

Here are some verses from Quran and Bible as to why this is unreasonable and irrational to do to the fellowship of Al Islam and how it conflicts with the concept of Salvation that Faith in Allah invites to.

We have to remember there are people that are wanting to be saved from Hellfire and Evil. They are wanting the Masjids and places of worship to be asylums against evil, wickedness and rebelliousness and not places where those are dispensed. Don't (slay, curse, assist enemies against) ransom or hand over the Juumat to the Shaitan. Do shepherds like to hand over sheep to wolves? Typically, they dislike that idea. If a Sheikh gives those 2 Hadith Amr, is he not handing over (or giving license) to an evil principality those believers he is speaking the 2 Hadiths to? I will start with the first reasons why:

1. Do not (slay, curse, assist enemies against, or) ransom other innocent believers off who have the intentions of aligning themselves with the Commands and Laws of God (Allah). 

2. When it is concerning an evil principality and the ransoming of an innocent believing Muslim to them it could qualify as a curse because of the evil, wicked and rebellious work that the evil principality could perform on the person in the unseen and the loss of Faith that all that wicked work would cause.

3. Allah (swt) gave a Law and Beneficial Ruling on something. He (swt) made something Prohibited, and thus Haram. He forbade cohabitation with Jinns, Jinnies, Genies. In accepting the testimony of the Jinns in Surahtul Jinn Ayah 6 to be included in His Holy Book for instructing His subjects, it can easily be argued that Allah (swt) rules against cohabitation with Jinns.

Thus, in this way, Allah (swt) gave a Ruling that no Jinns could live in the homes, bodies, etc. of His subjects, and that His subjects could not live in the homes, persons, etc. of Jinns.

In this Ruling from Allah (swt) is benefit to His human subjects that are under His Protection. In this Ruling from Allah (swt) is Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness because He allowed the Jinn testimony to be quoted in His Holy Scriptures that cohabitation with Jinns would increase humans in folly.

So, in pronouncing those above Hadiths, then, are the speaking of them into existence consistent or conflicting with this Ayah in Surahtul Jinn? One Hadith sends an evil Jinn to the home of a believer to put 3 knots upon the believer late for Fajr, and the other sends an evil Jinn to their body. But, Allah (swt) has instructed no cohabitation with them. Then, if it is conflicting with what Allah (swt) has Commanded, Willed and Desired for His subjects then not only is it Bidah, but Najwa as well. The Quran and the Bible do assign Shaitans in various passages, but the person has to be doing the things that those passages and the passages of context are speaking against.

Allah (swt) further Ruled that we not traffic or trade with the Jinns. "One day will He gather them all together, (and say): "O ye assembly of Jinns! Much (toll) did ye take of men." Their friends amongst men will say: "Our Lord! we made profit from each other: but (alas!) we reached our term - which thou didst appoint for us." He will say: "The Fire be your dwelling-place: you will dwell therein forever, except as God willeth." for thy Lord is full of wisdom and knowledge." ~ Surahtul Anam 128

It is through productivity that we work righteousness in the land and work the maintenance of Faith thus to accumulate good deeds upon our scales. Do we work productivity to use the resources gained thereby for righteousness and the maintenance of Faith thus, for the purpose of harvesting curses, spells, vexations, afflictions, torments and misery at the hands of evil principalities? Doesn't that frustrate good and righteousness in the land? Nabi Sulaimon (epbuh) said in a Proverb, "If you continue to reward good with evil then evil will never leave your house." ~ Proverb 17:13

There is one of those assignments by Quran, or in this case Bible, that I was speaking about earlier.

4. In opening up or exposing innocent believing people of Faith to evil principalities brings about other violations such as activations around mediums, psychics, witchcraft, sorcery, magic, casting of spells, etc. This activity could be ruinous to a human's life. Again, referencing the Ayah above against trade with Jinns, Allah (swt) said that "much toll did (the Jinns) take of men." So, the medium, psychic, etc. activities would take a tremendous toll on men, as well.

5. Cancel not your Charity by insult, injury or reminders of your generosity. Evil principalities unjustly assigned can be injurious, insulting and oppressive (spiritually and physically).

It's an insult. Many people coming to the Masjids are poor or disadvantaged. To add spiritual oppression from evil principalities to the material and financial oppression they already have is insulting but also ruinous. Kind of the worst of both worlds. The poor are often looking for hope, salvation, truth, etc. and God. Faith was the grace and dignity upon the poor in the past in the face of and navigation of poverty.

6. In addition, with it being in conflict with Allah's Divine Plan and Design for His subjects (or Bidah) it is Najwa. Najwa is to secretly involve someone in plans that they did not consent to be involved in. It is a Najwa but further the evil principalities assigned practice Najwa (they will act and be in conflict with the Divine Order) Below I will give multiple examples of Najwa. 

In Bayaans and Khutbahs in Al Islam should be considered that we do not want to in warning to beware of Shaitan, to then actually give license or leverage to Shaitans over other innocent people of Faith. Aoudhubillahi minal Shaitanir rajeem.
