If Someone Keeps saying to You Al Jehanum Alaikum to You, especially in Secret

ASA WR WB to believing Muslim friends.
[Aoudhubillahi x ∞]
If someone(s) keeps saying to you Al Jehanum Alaikum to you, especially in secret. Is this not an unfortunate reality? I am not rehearsing these hadiths to get you riled up. It is for the purpose of establishing the unfortunate reality that not everyone likes us and some go so far as to curse us and some go so far as to curse us with Hell-wishes. My main point is that this flies against established tradition and the Wisdom in the story of the Wise Men that visited Al Masihu Isa Ibn Maryam (epbut) bearing prayers and gifts, and that this is a standard for Wisdom in dealing with men and women of Faith in Allah. Thus, the point is not to send you off hating against Jews or Quraishi people because nowadays it could be anyone cursing or hating like this, but to takeaway a calm response and understanding of how to cope with anyone wishing Hell upon you. Because some of us Muslims in America may even have members of their own family, friends, neighbors, scholars, or people like this. So again this is about someone (not necessarily Jewish or Quaishi) that is mysteriously cursing you everyday, type thing (and doesn't understand that true people of Faith invoke God for blessings upon one another). 

I start off with an example from Hadiths:

Narrated `Abdullah bin Mulaika:
`Aisha said that the Jews came to the Prophet (saws) and said, "As-Samu 'Alaikum" (death be on you). `Aisha said (to them), "(Death) be on you, and may Allah curse you and shower His wrath upon you!" The Prophet (saws) said, "Be calm, O `Aisha ! You should be kind and lenient, and beware of harshness and Fuhsh (i.e. bad words)." She said (to the Prophet), "Haven't you heard what they (Jews) have said?" He said, "Haven't you heard what I have said (to them)? I said the same to them, and my invocation against them will be accepted while theirs against me will be rejected (by Allah). "

Narrated 'Abdullah:
While the Prophet (saws) was in the state of prostration, surrounded by a group of people from Quraish pagans. 'Uqba bin Abi Mu'ait came and brought the intestines of a camel and threw them on the back of the Prophet . The Prophet did not raise his head from prostration till Fatima (i.e. his daughter) came and removed those intestines from his back, and invoked evil on whoever had done (the evil deed). The Prophet said, "O Allah! Destroy the chiefs of Quraish, O Allah! Destroy Abu Jahl bin Hisham, 'Utba bin Rabi'a, Shaiba bin Rabi'a. 'Uqba bin Abi Mu'ait 'Umaiya bin Khalaf (or Ubai bin Kalaf)." Later on I saw all of them killed during the battle of Badr and their bodies were thrown into a well except the body of Umaiya or Ubai, because he was a fat person, and when he was pulled, the parts of his body got separated before he was thrown into the well.


1. A powerful consolation and coping mechanism that I have used for years now. Essentially I approach Allah (swt) in my petition to Him against those that pray or bring hell to me in the Spiritual and Material existences (of course with the exceptions of Allah (swt) and His Holy Angels, His Prophets, His Books because it would not advance our cause to invoke God to condemn Himself or His Angels, His Prophets, His Books which some evil lawyers do attempt to do.) But I essentially have based my petition to Allah (swt), over the years, against Hell-wishers on these points. It is an unfortunate reality and just being informed and somewhat prepared with a virtuous way to petition Allah against these types of people will save you years of grief. Because there are some that are about this that will never change.

2. Wise Men - The importance of praying for a person of Faith in Allah. [Wise Men graphic.] This point is to underscore the importance of praying for people of Faith. Many of the people that profess to be of the Holy Bible do not see this sign. The Wise Men when they came to the Messiah (as), the man of God, they bore him gifts. 

1. They brought blessings through prayers. This is to mean that they invoked God for blessings upon the Messiah (as) [Al Masihu Isa Ibn Maryam (as)]. That is instead of coming to the Messiah with requisitions; instead of coming to him with curses and damnation; and instead of praying to him for gifts (again those asks), they bore him gifts through prayer and invocation to Allah. The connection of those things to men and women of Faith in Allah (swt) that are, obviously, not Prophets is when the Messiah taught, "if you have done this to the least of these my followers then you have done it unto me." (Although trade is lawful between people of faith - Surahtul Nisa Ayat 29) as opposed to exchanges and hyperactivity in the spirit. Loyalty to Allah and His Holy Spirit are Cardinal Laws for Sourcing the Spirit and Spirit Activity.). Or, when he taught, "A student shares the teacher's fate, and a servant shares the master's fate." both scenarios have the potential to be bittersweet. Now this then connects to the importance of, in the least, praying for people of Faith. People in both Books have this instruction those that accept it are like the Wise Men. This is one of the ways that Allah (swt) can shower His Blessings upon entire communities. On how to give to the Messiah, I will reference the "Good Teacher" passage of the Gospel (Injeel) when someone came to him and said, "Good teacher how can I obtain eternal life?" The passage begins it's closure with the Messiah (as) saying, "If you want to be perfect go and sell all of your possessions and give the money away to the poor and then come and follow me." Thus, to give to the Messiah is tied to giving to the poor and needy in charity. Although, I will caution against giving away all of your wealth and thus becoming a charity condition yourselves. The only ones that could probably advise another to give away all of their wealth would be an actual Prophet, however, any person of faith can remind to give some of person's wealth in Charity.
2. They brought gold.
3. They brought Frankincense.
4. They brought Myrrh.

3. Proverb of Nabi Sulaimon (as) "The Wicked cannot rest until they have caused someone to stumble." 

Nabi Sulaimon (as) said in a Proverb, "Proverbs 4:16 NLT ☼ ☼ - "for evil people cannot sleep until they have done their evil deed for the day. They cannot rest unless they have caused someone to stumble."

This appears to suggest that they find rest and satisfaction in doing evil. That it appeases their discomforts in the spiritual and material existences. Therefore they are vested in the path of evil. The problem with this is that it ties into frequency...it creates a frequency of evil occurrences.

4. Zalimun want to be able to do this on a regular basis, if not daily basis...that is bring Hell to you or wish Hell upon you...or make their Hell your burden. This is a reiteration of the frequency issue, that Zalimun wish to do evil on a daily basis or an established regularity. The rich justice of this is that they fall into the category of Zalimun through this. The Holy Quran and Holy Bible have well established rulings or fatwas against Zalimun that truly are something to rejoice over and Praise and Glorify Allah (swt) for revealing and providing for us of Faith in Him (swt).

5. In sum, let me save you years if not decades of torment, afflictions, grief, confusion and maybe even medications. When you have felt it in the Spirit as true that someone has cursed or wished Hell upon you; and when someone wishes Hell upon you, or prays it on you, or curses you (along with other Hell-bound curses), or makes attempts upon your livelihood, then simply in a calm way; or even unbekownst to the assailants; or even as a dua to Allah (swt) pray, "Wa Alaikum" or "Wa Alaikum Al Jehanum to you, as well." I must add here why curses are equivalent to murder from Matthew 5:21-26. This combined with the Ayat of Quran, "The penalty for intentionally killing a believer is Jehanum." makes the case for why you reply that greeting with, "Wa Alaikum" or "Wa Alaikum Al Jehanum upon you, as well." So just return the greeting, and source Allah's Rulings in the Holy Verses of Scriptures. I try to share gifts of knowledge the likes of which I wish people would share with me. Insha Allah. The 2 graphics below working together are pure Heavenly miracles. In that cursing is being made tantamount to murder. Therefore, calmly make dua to Allah (swt) and be careful not to curse innocent people of Faith.

I could go quickly into why there is restitution (a lawsuit) when Matthew 5:21-26 says "until they have paid the last penny", and that is because curses can be like someone brandishing a weapon. It could be like getting away with bringing severe harm or even getting away with the murder of someone without any proof (specifically why the Messiah referenced a likeness to murder in first sentence of Matt 5:21-26). It is like the one cursing commits murder, because...it impacts the victim's livelihood, reputation, wealth, status, social, marital, educational, familial, communal, etc., and so that is why the restitution (or lawsuit) of Matthew 5:21-26 "until they have paid the last penny". This is another tremendously valuable Law with the Messiah (as), in addition to the Golden Rule, be careful of cursing; be careful of cursing, be careful of cursing. This echos Nabi Muhammad's (saws) lesson to "Spread the Salaams" which is to essentially beware of cursing.

A Scene in the Holy Quran from the Last Supper of the Messiah (that took place with the Disciples)

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

A very difficult challenge, and a very confusing problem is to have someone that demands on Earth Miracles, Blessings, Heavenly Bliss, Riches but they reject Allah (swt) or they reject compliance with the Commands and Orders of Allah (swt). Even if they say, well we were not asking God for these things, we were asking one of God's subjects, then are not the subjects going to God to supply the needs that they have that you keep sourcing them for? Or, if the person that dismisses compliance are trying to obtain those things through you, again this is a difficult challenge. 
That is a similitude or Parable of the Last Supper and request for a Feast from Heaven by the Disciples. The only thing is the Disciples for the most part believed. 
These Verses or Ayats are from the Chapter of the Holy Quran called Surahtul Maidah. Which means Chapter of the Table Spread with Food; or the Last Supper; or the Passover Meal (with the Messiah and the Disciples). Please look through these verses and my commentary is below them (or after verse 120).

[5:111]

"And behold! I inspired the disciples to have faith in Me and Mine Messenger. they said, ’We have faith, and do thou bear witness that we bow to Allah as Muslims’".

[5:112]

Behold! the disciples, said: "O Jesus the son of Mary! can thy Lord send down to us a table set (with viands) from heaven?" Said Jesus: "Fear Allah, if ye have faith."

[5:113]

They said: "We only wish to eat thereof and satisfy our hearts, and to know that thou hast indeed told us the truth; and that we ourselves may be witnesses to the miracle."

[5:114]

Said Jesus the son of Mary: "O Allah our Lord! Send us from heaven a table set (with viands), that there may be for us - for the first and the last of us - a solemn festival and a sign from thee; and provide for our sustenance, for thou art the best Sustainer (of our needs)."

[5:115]

Allah said: "I will send it down unto you: But if any of you after that resisteth faith, I will punish him with a penalty such as I have not inflicted on any one among all the peoples."

[5:116]

And behold! Allah will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst thou say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah.?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, Thou I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden.

[5:117]

"Never said I to them aught except what Thou didst command me to say, to wit, ’worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord’; and I was a witness over them whilst I dwelt amongst them; when Thou didst take me up Thou wast the Watcher over them, and Thou art a witness to all things.

[5:118]

"If Thou dost punish them, they are Thy servants: If Thou dost forgive them, Thou art the Exalted in power, the Wise."

[5:119]

Allah will say: "This is a day on which the truthful will profit from their truth: theirs are gardens, with rivers flowing beneath,- their eternal Home: Allah well-pleased with them, and they with Allah. That is the great salvation, (the fulfilment of all desires).

[5:120]

To Allah doth belong the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is therein, and it is He Who hath power over all things.

This is from the Chapter called Surahtul Maidah. It means, “Table Spread With Food”, “Last Supper”, and also “Passover”. It references a scene (or moment) and correspondence corresponding to the “Last Supper” (or “Passover” that the Messiah held with the Disciples.

The word used in Verse 115 for “resisteth faith” in Arabic was “Yakfur” from the Arabic root word “Kafara” which means, to reject, to deny, to disbelieve. But I will attempt to expand the meaning more here, through research.

At 3:56-57 it reads, ““As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help.”

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

So the Arabic word for “those who reject faith” is Kafirun. The Arabic word for “those who do wrong” is Zalimun.

Zalimun connotes, “to do wrong, to abuse, to be unjust, to be corrupt, the darkness of sin, wickedness”.

See that?...God used Kafara (in verse 56) in equivalent relation to Zalama in the next verse of 57. It is a parallel reference by God because verse 57 continues the context of verse 56.

So going back to the passages in the Holy Quran concerning the Last Supper or Passover of the Messiah (epbuh) with the Disciples (Al Hawariyun) (pbut) now the meaning at Verse 5:115 expands. “Resisteth Faith” now has an expanded meaning that includes Kafara and Zalama but, also all of the categories defined in the Quran of Munafiqun, Mushrikun, Fasiqun, Mujrimun, etc. each of those and a few others qualifies as resisting Faith in Allah (swt).

Also, I imagine this real life scene to be more significant than depicted here. Because, think about it, the Messiah (epbuh) asked God to send down a Feast from Heaven. So the “Table was Spread” with food that came from Heaven. It may or may not have been served by special servants of God, as well. Because in Heaven such a thing would include precious servants of God. Also you have to factor in that the Spirit of God in Heaven is not like the Spiritual experience on Earth. So there may have been significant Peace, Tranquility, Holiness, Purity, etc. In the Spirit there may have been the melodies, in the Spirit, of the Kingdom that accompanied the Peace and Tranquility that the Holy Spirit of God delivered.

So, after God does something like this on Earth before the Day of Judgment, only for the recipients to “reject, deny, disbelieve”...but further with the expansion, “do wrong (become a wrongdoer), become abusive (to people of faith, the innocent), become unjust, or become wicked.” God said that if they became Kafirun which has been, at 3:56-57, made parallel to Zalimun then He would punish them such as He has never punished anyone before.

Is that not amazing? Must be careful of asking for Heaven on Earth, and must be careful of asking for a Feast from Heaven on Earth. Remember above at Verse 5:112, the Messiah, son of Mary (epbut) said, when they (Disciples) asked for it to be sent down, “Fear Allah, if ye have faith.”, like be careful of asking God for Miraculous Signs like this.

Najwa Explored in Gospel and Quran

Bismi Allahi Al Rahmani Al Raheemi

ASA WR WB to believing Muslim friends.

Allahumma Salli Ala Wa Barak Ala Nabi Muhammad Wa Nabi Ibrahim

Inna Lillahi Wa Innaa Ilaihi Rajeun

It is almost always a bad idea (and a major sin) to involve someone and their resources in plans that they know nothing about and/or did not consent to. In Arabic that practice is called "Najwa". Although permitted when done for good and righteousness. However, even when it is being done for good it can be used as a form of oppression, exploitation, and cheating against the one that is unbeknownst and being involved. The people that do it are almost guaranteed to lose all 7 Gates of Paradise for it. Communications, discussions, reasoning, logic, disclosure, and clarity are very important. Can't assume other person can read minds like Jesus (as)...something tells me that Nabi Muhammad (saws) can read minds, as well. Just got a feeling.

Another reflection here: https://muhakeem1abdullah1.blogspot.com/2018/08/could-gharrar-najwa-laghwa-and-ikraha.html

[The concept of Najwa mentioned in the Gospel by the Messiah.]
"21“Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. 22On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ 23But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’" 
~ Matthew 7:21-23

[With Prophet Muhammad (saws) being a member of the Brotherhood of Prophets, then the laws against Najwa would technically be applicable to other Prophets, as well. Above I found mention of the concept of Najwa in the Gospel.]
"Turnest thou not thy sight towards those who were forbidden secret counsels yet revert to that which they were forbidden (to do)? And they hold secret counsels among themselves for iniquity and hostility, and disobedience to the Messenger. And when they come to thee, they salute thee, not as God salutes thee, (but in crooked ways): And they say to themselves, “Why does not God punish us for our words?” Enough for them is Hell: In it will they burn, and evil is that destination!
O ye who believe! When ye hold secret counsel, do it not for iniquity and hostility, and disobedience to the Prophet; but do it for righteousness and self-restraint; and fear God, to Whom ye shall be brought back.
Secret counsels are only (inspired) by the Evil One, in order that he may cause grief to the Believers; but he cannot harm them in the least, except as God permits; and on God let the Believers put their trust."
~ HQ 58:8-10
[The word translated as "secret counsels" is "najwa".]

[There is a Carvana commercial, and the slogan is "We'll drive you happy." It has a little image of a Halo above a car to symbolize being like a Saint or an Angel. So naturally this is in contrast to "We'll drive you mad, or insane or miserable." with the image of red horns above the car to symbolize a Demon or a Devil (May Allah be refuge. Aoudhubillahi). Something that can be considered a madness, insanity and misery would be Najwa (as well as, Gharrar (deception and the buying and selling of which the buyer and seller know not what was bought or sold), Ikraha and Laghwa) Neither of these are to be found in Jannah. It should be one of the first rules of being a Salesman to effectively communicate the facts about the product or idea and leave people their freedom and right to say yes or no to the product or idea. To accept no for an answer. Ikraha (compulsion) and Najwa (involving the believer in plans that they did not consent to be involved in) is under the umbrella of possession as by evil principalities. Allah (swt) said that it was unlawful to practice Najwa upon the Nabi (saws) with the exception of for goodness and righteousness. The Nabi (leads) to Jannah and if Allah (swt) said do not do something to the Nabi then that thing forbidden does not lead to Jannah. Allah speaking about Laghwa was referencing Jannah, so Laghwa is not permitted there. As regards Ikraha, Allah (swt) said, "La Ikraha Fie Deeni" There is no compulsion in the religion or way of Islam. The Deen leads to Jannah, thus what is not permitted in the Deen does not lead to Jannah. We should accept the observation by Carvana that to drive believing Muslim friends to madness, insanity or misery is to be an indicator of a Demon or Devil (Aoudhubillahi). Najwa is averted by effective communication about the product or idea and leaving the listener their option and right to say yes or no. There was someone that said to me and many in a tweet, "Why use so many words when only using a few will do the trick?" We need to be clear and effective in communicating products and ideas that we want to sell other people on.]

Zalama Mathala Suhr. Injustice is Equivalent to Magic.

Because of what I am sensing concerning the use of Artificial Intelligence, Watson and my computer I have asked Allah that this type of work and frustration of believing people of faith (especially as it concerns trading online) be considered Zalamat.

Because we are having Zalimun (Unjust, Oppressors, Abusers, Wicked, etc.) that are operating like Sahirin (Magicians), I need to reveal this order that can be requested of Allah (swt).

Basically Zalamat mathala Suhrat. That Injustice (oppression, etc.) is equal to magic (sorcery, witchcraft).

This becomes powerful when we examine Surahtul Baqarah Ayat 102-103 and all of the verses against Magicians in the Holy Bible.

Allah (swt) has said that if a believer reads/proclaims then: 1. He is Most Generous; and 2. He will Protect them from those that mean the person harm. [Reference is Holy Quran.]

Proverbs 17:8 ۞ - A bribe seems to work like magic for those who give it; they succeed in all they do.

Proverbs 17:23 NLT ۞ - The wicked accept secret bribes to pervert justice.

Proverbs 13:23 NLT ۞ - 23 A poor person’s farm may produce much food, but injustice (zalamat) sweeps it all away.

Proverbs 22:8 NLT ۞ - 8 Those who plant (sow the seeds of) injustice (zalama) will harvest disaster, and their reign of terror will come to an end.

Citing here Allah’s Judgment against Magic that, because of those series of Proverbs, now applies to both Zalimun and Sahirin.

Could “Gharrar, Najwa, Laghwa, and Ikraha” be considered as Locks upon the Gates of Heaven for those that use them?

Bismi Allahi Al Rahmani Al Raheemi

ASA WR WB to believing Muslim friends.

Allahumma Salli Ala Wa Barak Ala Nabi Muhammad Wa Nabi Ibrahim

Inna Lillahi Wa Innaa Ilaihi Rajeun

The believer is one that does not engage in:

• gharrar (buying & selling when person doesn't know what they've bought or sold) (also means deception);
• najwa (involving the Nabi or muslim in a plan they know nothing about. Also, called "secret counsels". Sometimes bad even if plan is for good);
• laghwa (using ambiguous speech) Allah has said that there is no Laghwa in Paradise. {Laghwa means vain talk or obscene language, but, also connotes ambiguity.}
• ikraha (compulsion in life or religion)

The above 4 things very well could be considered locks upon the Gates of Paradise for those that use them.

Another reflection here: https://muhakeem1abdullah1.blogspot.com/2019/01/najwa-explored-in-gospel-and-quran.html

Najwa:‎

"Turnest thou not thy sight towards those who were forbidden secret counsels (najwa) yet revert to that which they were forbidden (to do)? And they hold secret counsels among themselves for iniquity and hostility, and disobedience to the Apostle. And when they come to thee, they salute thee, not as God salutes thee, (but in crooked ways): And they say to themselves, "Why does not God punish us for our words?" Enough for them is Hell: In it will they burn, and evil is that destination! O ye who believe! When ye hold secret counsel (najwa), do it not for iniquity and hostility, and disobedience to the Prophet; but do it for righteousness and self- restraint; and fear God, to Whom ye shall be brought back. Secret counsels (najwa) are only (inspired) by the Evil One, in order that he may cause grief to the Believers; but he cannot harm them in the least, except as God permits; and on God let the Believers put their trust."~Holy Quran 58:8-10

It is probably safe to say that the only ones that are free to practice Najwa would be Allah (swt) Himself and His Malaika (Angels). There is a condition that Allah (swt) has given in which the practice of Najwa would be permissible, and that is when it is being done for righteousness, self-restraint, and fear of Allah. But, not for iniquity and hostility. You have to imagine that there are occasions in which someone could use najwa for good and it still be an oppression and imposition upon the one involuntarily involved. That would be when it is involving the resources of someone not knowing, and it places undue strain and hurt upon them, even though it was for good, the person that was uninformed may have suffered. Again it means to involve someone in plans that they did not give the other persons permission to involve them in; to practice secret counsel (again involving someone that is not knowing); and to do things in secret involving someone unbeknownst to them. If it could not be practiced on the Prophet (saws) then it is safe to say that it is not lawful to practice on his (saws) following.

Gharrar:

‎"Muslim relates from Abu Hurairah that, "The Messenger (saws) of Allah (swt) prohibited sales of whatever a pebble thrown by the seller hits and sales in which there is a chance of risk (gharrar - deception)" (Nasir al-Mutarriza)

Gharrar is chance or risk meaning it is not known whether it will come to be or not, such as selling fish in the water or birds on the wing. It includes transactions of unknown things, the particulars of which are not fully comprehended by the buyer and seller (al Mughrib fi tartib al-Mur'rib (y94), 2.100).

Gharrar (Deception) is also mentioned at Holy Quran 7:22, "So by deceit (bi ghuruwr) he brought about their fall: when they tasted of the tree, their shameful parts became manifest to them, and they began to sew together the leaves of the Garden over their bodies. And their Lord called unto them: "Did I not forbid you that tree, and tell you that Satan (May Allah be eternal refuge.) was an avowed enemy unto you?"

Laghwa:

Laghwa - “They shall there exchange, one with another, a (loving) cup free of frivolity, free of all taint of ill.” ~ Surahtul Turi Ayat 23

Ikraha:

Another thing that could be considered a lock on the gates of Paradise is Ikraha or compelling others in life and faith. The using of compulsion has been made forbidden. Even Allah (swt) Himself has said, “If it had been thy Lord’s will, they would all have believed,- all who are on earth! wilt thou then compel mankind, against their will, to believe! “ ~ Surahtul Yunus Ayat 99

Further it is spoken:

Why is this important? Because a few of these things are branches of possession and are extremely unjust when used against a believer. Because you don’t want to be placed in the category of beings that practice possession. Because you don’t want someone or some being compelling you. Because if he has instructed us not to do them, or has said that it is not found in Paradise, then it can be deduced that doing them does not lead to Paradise, and so are locks upon the Gates of the Heavens for those that do them.

Addendum to Previous Note on Productivity. You should like this one, and what I petition Allah for in it.

Continued from this Note below on Productivity for Spiritual Health. What else constitutes worship of Allah?

http://muhakeem1abdullah1.blogspot.com/2018/03/the-holy-scriptures-on-productivity-for.html

Once we are able to establish that Righteousness and Productivity are a form of worship to Allah (swt) something emerges. I explore this thought in this graphic.

Once we establish that “Fulfilling Engagements and Obligations” (e.g. righteousness, productivity, engagements, obligations) is another form of an act of worship to Allah (swt), then we are able to seek of Allah (swt) for the fulfillment of the Ayats of Surahtul Alaq (Chapter 96 of Quran) against those who are oppressing in the areas of "Fulfilling Engagements and Obligations":

• Seest thou one who forbids—
• A votary when he (turns) to pray?
• Seest thou if he is on (the road of) Guidance?
• Or enjoins Righteousness?
• Seest thou if he denies (Truth) and turns away?
• Knoweth he not that God doth see?
• Let him beware! If he desist not, We will drag him by the forelock,—
• A lying, sinful forelock!
• Then, let him call (for help) to his council (of comrades):
• We will call on the angels of punishment (to deal with him)!

~ Surahtul Alaq (96) Ayats 9-18

Look at the Supreme Logic of the questioning that Allah (swt) poses to such a person. Allah asks them 4 Questions:

• Seest thou one who forbids— [Dost thou forbid someone devoted to Me from worshiping Me?]
• A votary when he (turns) to pray?
• Seest thou if he is on (the road of) Guidance? [Dost thou bring Guidance or better Guidance?]
• Or enjoins Righteousness? [Dost thou enjoin Righteousness or better Righteousness?]
• Seest thou if he denies (Truth) and turns away? [Dost thou then go through all of this, with blocking My subject, only to deny or reject the Truth and turn away?]

~ Surahtul Alaq (96) Ayats 9-13

We definitely need Surahtul Alaq to apply to situations of a muslim worshiping in the Masjid or their Musalla at home or out in nature, but also definitely need it to be applicable to the acts of worship (ibadah) found in righteousness, productivity and pursuing the bounties of Allah (swt). Because that is how men and women are able to take care of themselves, their nuclear families (or assist their extended families), their children, their spouses...or even start families in the first place. Whether it is getting married and having the dowry or maintaining an acceptable level and standard of life to bring a spouse into. But, also this is how a person earns the means to give in Charity, which is also an act of ibadah (worship) to Allah (swt).

May Allah (swt) accept my dua to Him that Surahtul Alaq Ayats 9-18 be applicable to these additional acts of worship (ibadah) and all acts of obedience to the Holy Quran in service to Allah (His Mercy, His Justice, His Righteousness, His Truth, etc), Who is our God, the Creator and Lord Almighty. Ameen.

May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon those who stand as servants of Your Justice, Your Mercy, Your Truth, Your Righteousness...as servants of Yours, to the assistance of others of Faith in Thee...especially to those who’s stands have assisted and benefited me. Because we need such people to have continuity O’Allah. We need them to continue to do those types of things for others of Faith, and the Poor, as well. Ameen.

Further Expounding On Surahtul Anfali Ayat 58...and Example

Surahtul Anfali Ayat 58

I just have to make another comment about this verse. Look at how brilliant Allah (swt) is. There is an issue. The 3 Abrahamic Faiths of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, each essentially, and predominantly rejects the Holy Books of the other two. Each rejects the Holy Books of the other two. So Allah (swt) renders this Ruling obviously knowing this would happen in advance. What it does is gives an order to "throw back their covenant to them" which requires researching your Holy Book, as well as, the Holy Books of the other 2 Abrahamic Faiths in order to do a "throw back" or reminder. Sometimes we have to "throw back" to another sect of Islam, or to a branch(es) of people that follow the Bible. One has to read them in order to remind others of what is in them. Of course, we in Islam lead with the Holy Quran so any verses from Bible that contradicts a Verse of Quran, then the Quran overrules them obviously. I would suggest about 4 years of study of the Quran prior to researching the Bible. Because you would have to be well versed on what Allah is saying has been altered or abrogated in the Bible. Nevertheless, this ayat at Surahtul Anfali Ayat 58 is the Highest Wisdom and Brilliance. And it is essentially an Order or Ruling to each of the 3 Abrahamic Faiths. Making it so that each have to consult the Holy Books of the other 2.

Therefore if Allah ordered me to "...Throw back their Covenant to them so as to be on equal terms..." then, I am like,

Please feel free to use this link and video as much and as often as you like. Especially with "Thou Shalt Not Murder"; "Thou Shalt Not Steal"; "Thou Shalt Not Covet"; Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery" situations. Again if you find yourself in a situation that you need to remind someone of their Covenant with Allah, then you can use what is clearly still Truth from the Kitab, post them this. 

Also...Many of us come from families where there are little to no other muslims in the family. Then send them a gift and reminder like this one. Can they be placed on shirts?

Proverbs 6:21 NLT
21 Keep their words always in your heart. Tie them around your neck. 22 When you walk, their counsel will lead you. When you sleep, they will protect you. When you wake up, they will advise you. 23 For their command is a lamp and their instruction a light; their corrective discipline is the way to life. 

Proverbs 7:3 NLT
1 Follow my advice, my son; always treasure my commands. 2 Obey my commands and live! Guard my instructions as you guard your own eyes. 3 Tie them on your fingers as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart.

Deuteronomy 11:18 NLT
18 “So commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these words of mine. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders.

I have info on how you can make 15% on the sale of my shirts, mugs, totes and posters. This is my store: https://www.zazzle.com/art_to_constructs

Insha Allah, I will have more Islamic Tees in the store in the coming weeks.

This is how you can get 15% on the sale of my shirts, etc. In the vids I explain about joining a group, and about Zazzle.com and a little about Bonfire. It is in the information about Zazzle in the 2nd video that I explain how to get 15% as an Associate for selling my shirts, etc. What is 15%? Well if you get 10,000 - 100,000 online to buy my shirts then, 15% of those sales are about $50,000 to $500,000. That is some good money for just referring. Sometimes we have groups of 100,000 to 1 million people that we are in online. Then is when it is possible to see 10,000 orders of shirts come in.
