We shouldn't put all of our eggs in 1 basket. On one hand be dutiful to Kith and Kin. On the other hand be dutiful to Faith Group.

Bismi Allahi Al Rahmani Al Raheemi

ASA WR WB to believing Muslim friends

Before reading this please know that we owe it to ourselves to do things from an Islamic perspective and in being dutiful to Islam. While Allah does bless us for being dutiful to kith and kin.

It can be like a savings or investment. We should not put all of our eggs in one basket when either being dutiful to kith and kin, or when be dutiful to Islam. You do not want either relations to fade away like dust. And you have to have one side that is there for you when on the other side things are not going so well.

I don't always come from my perspective. I tend to come from reflecting on what Allah has said.

White men and women have an overall mission of getting jobs for their people. Job creation for men and women who want to own a home and build a family. So they have a cry out as if for a barn raising or house raising (back in the days of settlers) and every able man in the town shows up to raise the walls of the new building. Jobs like carpenters, plumbers, electricians, mechanics, engineers, doctors, etc. and other related employment around the basis of building and maintaining communities, homes, lives, etc.

Every community has that mentality. Asian. Latino. We need that mentality in the Afro Am community as well. We do have institutions of higher education. We do have a support Black Businesses mentality. Buy Black. But, we will also boycott one another. Ostracize. Alienate. Isolate one another in the midst of a push for greater unity. Somewhat based on perceived failed pledges of allegiance (almost kind of Greek Letter College Fraternity like). The mission tends to have a migration to a kind of exclusivity of "You need a come to Jesus. We need more Jesus. We are Christians." The Christians under the Black Unity kind of muster together to themselves almost instinctively. But, just a minute ago we were all unifying under Blackness, now there are pockets of exclusivity based on worship of Jesus? A kind of we getting ours, so go and get yours. They not always seeing Islamic people-mechanics in the neighborhoods. But, we can also become exclusive, to one another, in the Islamic community, as well.

Back to job creation and supporting one another...even if it means a lifting of a finger to RT or Repost something someone is selling for a dollar or five dollars. We all need to improve our crafts and maybe get that used car to get a part time job delivery submarine sandwiches, while we improve upon our arts of music, painting, illustrating so that quality control is improved on end products of art. It does have a lot to do with the things that we do in between crisis' and in crisis prevention. It is not all about the life of this world, however, Allah (swt) sent Nabi Salih, Nabi Shuaybi, Nabi Sulaimon, Nabi Ibrahim, Nabi Isa and a few other Prophets that were productivity oriented in portions of their messages so that the concept of Ascetism would not take full root in the community. Ascetism is defined in this graphic. So it is not all about the life of this world however it is not about Ascetism and we must maintain our lives, homes, communities, give in charity, make healthy foods available...medicines...etc. Maintenance of our lives on Earth as we strive for the life of the Hereafter through choices, worship, charity, etc we are doing while on Earth. Those are the steps towards Jannah...the steps in stacking Good Deeds, while on Earth, upon the Scales for Allah to Judge.

Finally the late Hafizul Quran Abdullah Yusuf Ali teaches us (I reference it in this blog post) that driving out desperation from the community is to drive out Shaitan (Aoudhubillahi).

Blog post - The Interests of a Few Sacred Prophets in the Poor. This was written when the Republican Party was in more control in Washington and making tremendous slashes to the entitlements of the poor, elderly, sick, disabled in our country. It felt like the poor was needing to be the discarded of our society in their eyes. So I reflected on their worth with Allah, and what many see as valuable opportunity to please Allah (swt).

Dua When we meet someone who's actions declare that there is no limit to how low they will go to trespass, transgress, torment, afflict you of Faith in God.

 

Bismi Allahi Al Rahmani Al Raheemi

ASA WR WB to believing Muslim friends:

The 1st 2 paragraphs of this blog post are in reference to the blog post "Does the Original Sin Have A Virtually Similar Version On Earth?":  https://muhakeem1abdullah1.blogspot.com/2019/11/does-original-sin-have-virtual-version.html  

This case has 3 main issues: 1. It is probably one of the most foolish things to experience in the history of the world; 2. It is probably one of the hardest things to experience in the history of the world; 3. It is a closed case. Already solved. God already ruled on it. Yet, it continues to be a condition of exploit against people of Faith in the 3 Abrahamic Faiths.

Another thing that it seems to have going for it is that it literally appears to be a riddle from Garden of Eden. In a sense it makes it a mutual gain and loss. The gain being it is an issue from the Garden of Eden. The loss being that to experience it in the Fellowship of the Spirit makes it one of the most hideous of crimes, assaults, afflictions and torments to people of Faith. It is a hideous form of spirituality like vampire meets cannibal to become one. When we meet someone who's actions declare that there is no limit to how low they will go to trespass, transgress, torment, afflict you of Faith, then you ask Allah to accept that as a form of dua from the assailant and accept their dua to be cast into the bottomless pit. Furthermore follow it up with dua of your own to cast them into the bottomless pit from Surahtul Qariah Ayat 9. Along the lines, "Oh Allah please cast into the bottomless pit those who declare that there is no limit to how low they will go to trespass, transgress, torment, afflict, exploit me in Faith and Righteousness to You, God. Ameen."

Basically the issue or question is: Who to Source for the Holy Spirit? Spirit of Life? Life Energy? Energy? This has been covered over many topics. Those topics include: 1. Tree of Forbidden Life; 2. Tree of Forbidden Fruit; 3. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (which implies loyalty to sourcing the Holy Spirit must be maintained); 4. Making someone a sacrifice (human sacrifices and the right and the wrong of that, if there are any right conditions, but certainly the main issue being the exploit of the privilege, then what of cases in which the person did not deserve to be sacrificed); 5. Making someone a scapegoat (human scapegoats and the right and the wrong of that, if there are any right conditions, but certainly the main issue being the exploit of the privilege, then what of cases in which the person did not deserve to be scapegoated); 6. Ten Commandments - Thou shalt not kill; 7. Story of Abel versus Cain; 8. Nabi Salih and the Sign of the She-Camel; 9. and of course Ten Commandments on not Blaspheming God;...all of these and a few others touch on the issue of life forbidden for consumption. May the eternal peace and blessings of Allah be upon all the Prophets mentioned in this and the next blog post. To quote Nabi Sulaimon (epbuh), "Such is the fate of all who are greedy for gain (life) it ends up robbing them of life."

1. SURA 101. Al Qaria, or The Day of Noise and Clamor. In the

name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. The (Day) of Noise

2. What is the (Day) of Noise and Clamor?

3. And what will explain to thee what the (Day) of Noise and

Clamor is?

4. (It is) a Day whereon men will be like moths scattered about,

5. And the mountains will be like carded wool.

6. Then, he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) heavy,

7. Will be in a Life of good pleasure and satisfaction.

8. But he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) light, --

9. Will have his home in a (bottomless) Pit.

10. And what will explain to thee what this is?

Very little Yeast (my opinions) with some Critically Essential Verses of Quran

Bismi Allahi Al Rahmani Al Raheemi

ASA WR WB to believing Muslim friends (you may click any of these images to enlarge them):

Well...it is good that Allah placed Shiqaq here in this set of verses. Would love ridiculously long term Amr on this.

Well...it is good that Allah placed Disgrace here in these set of verses. Would love ridiculously long term Amr on these.

Well...it is good that Allah (swt) revealed, "Thou shalt not blaspheme the Holy Spirit." in addition to "Thou shalt not blaspheme Allah." Because there is a condition there of loyalty to sourcing the Holy Spirit and loyalty to sourcing Allah. This is beneficial to people of Faith because Allah (swt) has provided a condition for seeking increase in Spirit. There are those who would source other humans, animals, jinns, Saints, Prophets, etc. That condition of sourcing only Allah and the Holy Spirit is a Mercy to those who believe against those inventions.

Some ways to go about seeking increase in Spirit from Allah (swt). Allah (swt) said that the Holy Spirit brought down the Revelation...so just in reading the Quran (and remaining Truth in the Kitab) that person is connecting to the Holy Spirit of Allah (swt).

Would love ridiculously long term Amr on these.

These 3 viewed together this way help me to get a comprehensive view of what Allah was saying through these collectively.

Would love ridiculously long term Amr on these.

Here are 2 places where Allah (swt) is literally telling us to tell Ahli Kitab to stand by the Torah, Gospel, Proverbs, Psalms, Quran together in order to please Him. But, cannot instruct them to discard the Kitab.

Would love ridiculously long term Amr on these.

I know that we can cancel negative energy and negative deeds with positive deeds. So please pardon the repeat of those posts. Just trying to keep that energy right. May Allah continue to be refuge. Amin. Nearly 30 years ago, these were the Articles of Faith taught to me. I will list a book reference from back then in Chicago. 

This is literally one of the ways we were taught Al-Islam (we have a few different Orders that I recall). Notice that in the "Dedication" the family that wrote the book are from Palestine. That young man (a son of that family) was a Palestinian. So Palestinians taught the "Original Articles of Faith as in my Travertine graphic". May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon that family and son who had passed away back then.

An Islamic symbol endeared in Morocco, Turkey, etc. References the Hadith when Fatima asked Nabi Muhammad (saws) for a helper and he taught her to use the Tasbih of Faitma.

Verses of the Holy Quran that can be viewed as Miraculous Healing Passages.

 

Bismi Allahi Al Rahmani Al Raheemi 

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

Verses of the Holy Quran that can be viewed as Miraculous Healing Passages. If we begin with the Ayats, "Verily Allah proves true Al Haqq by the Kalimat."; and "Verily You are on the Path of Manifest Truth." then we can see how these other Ayats referencing healing can manifest Miraculous changes in one's life. Allah (swt) is basically saying that He can say, "Be" through the Ayats of Quran (as well as Kitab). Please feel free to click any of these graphics to enlarge them if needed.

From here, below are a few of the Healing Ayats of note.

This Ayah confirms that there should be only one heart in your body. That your body should not be hosting another principality seated inside of you with the Spirit Ruh of Allahu Al Qarib. Here Allah (swt) casts out any evil, wicked or rebellious principalities that might be stowed away inside of your body.

Here Allah (swt) Heals blindness and deafness.

Here Allah (swt) Heals insecurity.

Here Allah (swt) Offers an Assortment of Healing for those who believe in Him.

Here Allah (swt) Offers another Assortment of Healing for those who believe in Him; but also Promises Loss after Loss to the Unjust (Zalimun).

Here Allah (swt) Heals blindness again, along with understanding.

Here Allah (swt) can Heal muteness and speech impediments.

Here Allah (swt) again establishes that you are within your body a single unique soul in your creation and in your resurrection. This is a very valuable "Be" from Him. That your body is not hosting another principality or stowaway within. There are only seats for the Ruh of Allah and the Soul He has Given you. If Baith is synonymous with Qiyam (the position of Salaat) then this increases our vigor to make as many positions of Qiyam as we can.

It has become a sad truth that Muslims are more often greeting each other with "Salam!".

Bismi Allahi Al Rahmani Al Raheemi

ASA WR WB to believing Muslim friends:

[Sometimes we have to laugh to stop from crying. Hear me out.]

It has become a sad truth that Muslims are more often greeting each other with "Salam!".

It says to a Muslim recipient of that greeting that the person greeting may not consider or is not certain that receiver is a Muslim or not. Many Muslims know this ruling or hadith or are familiar with it.

Technically, they are well within the letter of the Shariah to do that, because Allah (swt) said in an ayah, "Pass by that which you are ignorant of with Peace."

I kind of do the same thing, but I extend the greetings of ASA WR WB with the condition of "to believing Muslim friends".

I guess this means that people do not want to accidentally extend the invocations to Allah (swt) for blessings upon someone that is not of the category of Faith in Al-Islam.

Though sometimes the lines get blurred between who is an Ansar (Native to a country) and who is a Muhajir (Emigrant to a country) Allah does take note of this and does preserve the rights of both. African American Muslim Men face mild to extreme boycotts from:

1. Whites

2. Other Blacks

2.1 Christians

2.2 Jews

2.3 Other Black Muslims

3. Other Immigrant Muslims

4. Sometimes own Family

5. Sometimes own old friends and peers that don't see eye to eye with Islam.

6. Other nations that might not be too comfy with a Muslim

Someone who has immigrated to Al-Islam in America face:

1. Bountiful harvests in US

2. Bountiful harvests in their own countries of origin.

3. When the Oil Producers decide to break off funds from their reserves a higher likelihood that they'd receive Oil donations or revenues while in US.

4. Bountiful harvests if they go to another prosperous Islamic country

A Proverb sheds light on the Ayat about Nabi Sulaimon (epbuh) and the vision of the Jasad.

Bismi Allahi Al Rahmani Al Raheemi

ASA WR WB to believing Muslim friends

When I was in Denver it seemed like I was dealing with a force that wanted power (in the seen and unseen). But, it did not like the Laws of Allah. That force was contrary to the Laws (verses) and always trying to flip the Laws (verses) on their Heads.

So you begin to do in your mind a Who, What, When, Where, How, Why.

Why do they want power to the frustration of the Order of God. Of course, laws and things do not have to be extreme or rigid...but that the Law or the Order of God Prevails. Power is for restoring the rights of people, granting them relief from hardships, torment, turmoil, torture, oppression, bloodshed. That Faith, Righteousness and Joy about God may be prevalent.

Nabi Sulaimon (epbuh) gives us a powerful lesson when we connect this Proverb with the verse about the Jasad (dead body) that sat upon his (as) throne in a vision.

Proverbs 19:16 NLT - "Keep the commandments and keep your life; despising them leads to death."

Nabi Sulaimon (epbuh) is saying by this, (when we connect the Jasad Ayah to this Proverb) that the Jasad was a ruler that was going to be Lawless. Because it was a dead body on his throne in the vision. Why would someone want to go to a throne that is based on the Law, but despises or opposes the Law? Power and Control as opposed to Justice, Peace and Order.

Nabi Sulaimon (as) then prayed to Allah grant me a Mulkan that is suitable for no one else after me. 

"He said, "O my Lord! Forgive me, and grant me a kingdom which, (it may be), suits not another after me: for Thou art the Grantor of Bounties (without measure)." ~ Surahtul Sad Ayat 35

Nabi Sulaimon (saws) did not want that lifeless or lawless body to ascend to his throne. The Messiah would reference this later when he asked, "Do you see the lilies in the field? Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as finely as they are." It almost seeming like the Messiah as a successor is noting that Solomon withdrew his Mulkan, but also observing how God can dress those who are left without that structure like the lilies in the fields (more beautifully). But it is my opinion that the Messiah (epbuh) made note of Nabi Sulaimon's (epbuh) dua of withdrawal. But again even though there would always be a descendant of King David upon the throne, Nabi Sulaimon (as) was a "No" to the lifeless or lawless body (Jasad), and it is tough to question his wisdom.

[38:34]

And We did try Solomon: We placed on his throne a body (without life); but he did turn (to Us in true devotion):

[38:35]

He said, "O my Lord! Forgive me, and grant me a kingdom which, (it may be), suits not another after me: for Thou art the Grantor of Bounties (without measure).

Reflection on Surahtul Maidah Ayah 66 combined with Matthew 5:21-26 & Last 21 Ayats of Surahtul Waqiah

Bismi Allah Al Rahmani Al Raheemi

ASA WR WB to believing Muslim friends:

I shared Surahtul Maidah Ayat 66 earlier for the formula for Happiness from every side, which is to combine the Truth of the Old Teachings with the New Teachings in Allah's Holy Books. I have included this below the 2 referencing verses for this point.

Here I noticed something when I combined Surahtul Nisa Ayat 100 with Matthew 5:21-26.

Allah (swt) is saying in Surahtul Nisa Ayat 100 that if you emigrate from your homeland to another state, region or country and die in the service of Allah and His Messenger, then your reward becomes due from Allah (swt).

What are a few of the ways in which service to Allah and His Messenger is given:

1. Testimony about the verses of Allah

2. Charity

3. Righteousness

3.5 Fasting

4. Study

4.5 Prayer

5. Productivity and Work towards a better community

6. Standing for Justice

7. Defense

8. Helping parents or the elderly in your community

9. Encouraging healing through healthy living, diet and the healing components of different medicinal herbs and spices, exercise, etc.

But, Matthew 5:21-26 likens unjustly cursing another person of Faith to taking their life. It is because the curses can destroy the person's life, livelihood (employment), reputation in the community (thus, influence and command). This could in turn block them from starting families and raising children to continue their bloodline upon the Earth because they would be deemed unfit and unsuitable for marriage. Look at how powerful curses are. But, also look at how powerful the Injeel combined with the Quran in these 2 sets of verses to counter that phenomenon when it is unjustly done. So there are some curses upon people of Faith that Surahtul Nisa Ayat 100 would render the believers reward due if the curse destroyed the life of that believer.

Furthermore, it is necessary to keep up prayers and the other things that can be done to declare that day, by your Faith in Allah, that you have been in service to Allah and His Messenger.

On the end I decided to add the last 21 Ayats of Surahtul Waqiah. Allah (swt) seems to suggest that He will manifest the penalties and rewards possibly by extraction from those who (made it their lievlihood to) declare Quran false, and negligently subjugated (then why do you not intervene when the soul of the dying person reaches the throat). Because they are taking upon themselves to be judges of Allah and His Holy Book(s). So if we combine this with: Reward becomes manifest or due if person dies in the service of Allah and His Messenger of Surahtul Nisa Ayat 100; and Matthew 5:21-26 Cursing a believer is tantamount to murdering them, then within these 3 sets of passages we can see ease and justice to the unjustly afflicted, cursed and tormented of Faith in Allah (swt).

Referenced in first paragraph above:

Bismi Allahi Al Rahmani Al Raheemi

ASA WR WB to believing Muslim friends:

It is really not that I require to be hitting my head upon the ceiling in jumping from jovial happiness each day...it is ok to have modest measures of happiness in our day.

Here Allah (swt) gives us a formula for happiness. Many of you can bear witness that I selected to use this formula even though many did not really care for the formula.

Aside from that it is a horrible occasion when in grinding out this formula for "Happiness" for many years that it not shed wickedness, misery or sadness cast upon us or brought upon our spirits and souls. That would probably be because of the ones of "souls lost and of misguided thirst (that needed to be pointed) to the Source Allah and His Holy Spirit as Source for the Life Spirit they seek. That would be in listening to the verses, from Him, for the ways to seek Allah's Spirit which is the way to Source the Holy Spirit. But, this formula was supposed to yield "Happiness".

Penalty for intentionally killing (and cursing) a believing Muslim friend.
