Chain Reaction

 

The reason I blog is not to be an influencer or to chase views and likes. While that may be helpful to spread a message, the example is that of Prophet Ibrahim and Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon them). Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) called to the pilgrimage to Mecca and thousands of years later, millions of people are still doing it each year. He called to it without social media, any mass or mainstream media. Likewise, the message of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ has billions of adherents to Islam. All this by the will of Allah.

Lately, I have been in discussion, more and more, on the issue of the education system, the role of media and the non-stop propaganda, all leading people upstream. How do you protect your children. First off is that you must learn and understand the truth and then be willing to defend it and spread it. History is written by the “victors” and so colonialism was dominant to the degree that today those colonialists still hold the power and the reins. You were born into their system. When they realised that the slavery with chains on the ankles and wrists were not going to cut it, they did a wondrous thing. They put the chains on the brains. So, you are a product of colonialism think that you are free while you have been duped because, in truth, the chains are now on the brains. The mind is a wonderful thing and if more were to use it correctly, then life will be a different place, a better place. The education system was presented as a means to freedom while it has been used as a means to further slavery. Had we been wise, we would have used the schooling system to our advantage and not, as you are doing now, allowing the chains to be tightened on the brains of your children. The banking and economic system too are presented as a means out of poverty and for your protection on so many fronts. Then comes the medical system with its infinite number of drugs and prescriptions. With all these things in place, you are paying for your own enslavement. Indeed, you are a glorified slave. You did say that at least you have religious freedom.

All this needs further unpacking, with examples. Perhaps the interest shown, will necessitate more notes and blogging. At this moment, I am thinking aloud. Many of you who dared to read this note, will still dismiss it, because it is too much thinking. For some, it will go to the extent whereby they prove the system, by calling me a conspiracy theorist. Yet, here I am, merely asking you to think with your God-given brain and then to share thoughts.

I will be failing in my duty if I don’t remind you of a piece of history. At the time of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, before the hijra, two tribes of Madinah (then Yathrib), Aws and the Khazraj were enemies of each other. But there was a third group present in Madinah who both fanned the flames of hatred between those two tribes and was effectively the supplier of arms. You know your history. It is just to join the dots. Then start to understand who controls basically every facet of life today. Allah has given them rope in their trespass and soon they will be brought to account.  

Fast forward for a moment – and we will need to start working back – from this point. What have you prepared for tomorrow, i.e. the Day of Account? And did you know that it is important to seek refuge against dajjal? He may not be here in your lifetime, but his minions are already hard at work. So then also prepare the generations to come to always seek refuge in Allah.

May it be easy.

Things to consider

 

They walked wide-eyed into the trap. They were blinded even with perfect vision. They were weakened even though they ate and drank well. They were poor even though they lived in beautiful houses and drove fancy cars. Their hearing was good, loving the vibey noisy atmosphere.

The stories of Quran are more than just stories. Every story in Quran has application and, right now, in our state, we can analyse and apply  it to us. One story that comes to mind is that of Talut, when marching to fight Jalut, instructed the army not to drink from the water from the river, yet many of them drank. They were not allowed to continue with the army. Alhamdulillah, the reduced, smaller army was still granted victory. Today, Muslims are lured into various traps, some openly siding with the enemy, others drinking from the water and becoming ineffective in establishing justice and peace. First off is that Muslims need to understand their shahadah (testimony of faith) which is based on Tauheed. The “army” of Muslims will be small, and you will need to understand the reasons for it. Then ask yourself whether you are part of this army or have you already disqualified yourself. Words are easy to utter, it is in the execution that you are part of the those who call to good and forbid the evil. When you are instructed not to drink from the river, will you drink?

Politics and economics affect us all. Yet, which politics and which economics today are Islamic? You may be concerned about Trump’s election as president, but it is of little consequence to us. Rather, it is the system and who he represents that are greater concern. People talk about state capture but that has been the order of the day from long before. This means that the majority of people in the world are governed and ruled over by a much stronger cabal (Zionism?) than the people you think is your government. So, what is the way forward. You have three options open to you: One is to drink from the river (which most are doing anyway). Secondly, you can abstain from drinking from the river. Thirdly, you can remove yourself from the worldly affairs and claim your worship is all that matters.

You have been blessed by being given that extra moment to make the right decision. Use it and choose wisely. There is no place for cowboys, nor cowards.

Moment of Truth

 

The most significant moment in your life is that moment that you take your last breath. It is that moment that you write the conclusion to your life as either one who died upon truth or one who was in error: either a coward or a disbeliever.

It does not matter how many people read my blog or like my posts. My role, like your role is to be on truth. What is important is that you love truth and that you are not selective on it. That does not mean that you do not make mistakes. Rather it is about your foundation. If it is strong and upon truth, then you will always fall back onto truth and not be misguided. Yet, here we are, witnessing a genocide and staring a possible great war, even world war in the face. No one is wishing for it, except the zionist zealots. It is good that people continuing to raise awareness on the Palestine issue. It is frightening, though, that people are not joining the dots and understanding that the same people who perpetrate the evil in Palestine, are the same people who put you, nay the world, including the haramain (two holiest mosques in Islam) under lockdown and then coerced everyone, bar the few, to take their poison. The last hundred years and a bit are most significant in our current history. Of course, you can trace the plotting, planning and implementation of an evil scheme even further back, but the most relative to us is the last century. Perhaps, symbolically, the fall of the caliphate is a yardstick. The system was implemented to make you a glorified slave, chasing the world, thinking that you are successful. Satan got our father Aadam – peace be upon him – to eat from the forbidden tree while Aadam was taught by Allah Himself. How cunning is satan and his minions not in fooling you too into thinking that the system is for your benefit. What is the purpose of your creation? What is your duty to earn the title of “believer” by Allah. Here you are, at the behest of a satanic force, while the command of Allah is neglected. It will be claimed that more people can read and write than ever before, yet that “literacy” is not based on true knowledge. Sadly, you have not become literate to read, study, ponder the words of Allah. Remember the first ayaat (roughly translated a “verses”) – see chapter 96 of Quran.

Before this post becomes too long, let me hit the pause button. Certainly, there is much more to discuss. It is time that you apply yourself to understand more of the genocide and how related global events and plotting are, while then starting to join the dots. Don’t get carried away with the US elections, since it is a deception. May your last action be your best action and may you die upon complete truth.

Where are you running to?

 

The path to walk is the path to paradise. Alas, man is lost, and in his every word and action he is fleeing from Allah. There are enough scholars to explain this to you, therein lies the first challenge.  The challenge is the preparedness and the ability to fulfil the purpose for which we were created.

Two points which you must research, ponder on and then act on accordingly, relates to your purpose in life. The first refers to the very creation of man. In whichever appropriate translation or interpretation you take, is that we were created as representatives of Allah on earth. I will leave the word as “representative”, but the meaning is far bigger than that. Suffice to say that the second is to command with good and to prohibit evil and sin. Today, we are at the behest of people who do not even know God. How are we fulfilling our role. There is a genocide happening and we plead with them to stop. Of course, there will be consequences at some point because they will be brought to account by Allah. But what is our role in this since we cannot be fulfilling the commands of Allah or the purpose for which we created. It is true that at the overarching level, the purpose is to worship Allah. That worship cannot be confined to mere rituals while Islam is a complete way of life.

Too few are joining the dots. Too few people know anything about the signs of the hour. And what is meant by the hour. While it is about the end of the world and the day of judgement, what really should concern you is that Muslims are not fulfilling their duties to ensure justice and peace. The result of this is that the control is resting with people who are hellbent on destruction. The short version of destruction is to destroy all good and increase in evil and deception. Is this all making the “hour” ever closer to the time in which we live?

You are hoodwinked by politics as if it is real.  Who will win the election etc. And which party this and which party that.  They make you believe this is all real. The genocide is real, alright. What else?

They are our mothers

 

The vast majority of people, because of their morality, will not take kindly to someone swearing and cursing their mother. What exactly will be your response to such a vile act? What if it is your own brother swearing your mother? This seems unimaginable but it is real. There are real family issues and cause families to split or to disown their own.

Hezbollah lost their leader on the weekend. Since then, the world witnessed a show of fireworks as Iran fired two hundred missiles on occupied Palestine, some calling it Israel. There is every indication that the groundwork is being laid for a world war, yet the latest Iranian action needs scrutiny. That scrutiny I leave to you because it is easy to dismiss a statement without taking the time to analyse the facts, and, in the absence of clear facts, to look at plausibility. Let us go back to history defining moment in Islam. The year is 680AD. Hussain bin Ali is the grandson of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. He opposed the caliphate of Yazeed bin Muawiyah. While in Makkah, he was invited to Kufah whose people wanted to pledge allegiance to him. He travelled there with his family and camped about 70km away, at Karbala. There he was martyred with many of his family while the people of Kufah, after inviting him, offered not even one person is support. Thus, the people of Kufah betrayed Hussain. These same people wish to venerate him after his death while his death can be attributed to their betrayal. Shi’ism started off as political but because they declare(d) the majority of the companions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as apostates, the differences with Sunni Islam are noticeable. There are many books on the subject and many ulama capable on the subject. The primary difference, more than their claim that Ali bin Talib should have been the first caliph rather than Abu Bakr, is their reviling of the noble companions and the wives of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The wives of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ are considered the “mothers of the believers” (per Quran 33:6). Thus, there is a group who swear our mothers and making takfeer (pronouncing a Muslim out of the fold of Islam). This group betrayed Hussain bin Ali but claims to love the Ahlul Bayt.

While some may think that notes like this cause division, then rather consider this as a reminder, both to protect our eemaan (faith) and to firmly show our love for Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, his household – including his wives, and all his companions – Allah be pleased with them. The last thing to consider is the complicity of the Iranians in the death of Ismail Haniya, followed by their unimpactful missile “attack” on Israel.

The call to the Muslims is to stick to their faith, following Quran and Sunnah. Allah has raised the rank of the companions and wives of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Those who revile them are not of us and we are not of them. We place our trust in Allah who will grant victory to the believers.

They don't know what we know

 

Auwal Masjid in Dorp Street, Cape Town

“They don’t know what we know”. This is true of non-Muslims knowing very little, if anything, about Islam. An example is of someone once telling me that they cannot be Muslim because our prayers are so methodical and are repeated all the time in the same way.  Muslims are partly to blame for the ignorance of non-Muslims.

If you look to the example above, then Muslims must educate themselves too to convey the message. The first port of call is, of course to be the best Muslim you can be which requires, as a start, some knowledge. Were you to look at the global situation, you will find many mindboggling statements and events. How do you unravel this? Were you to look locally, then people are bamboozled and getting swept away by the current of corruption while thinking they are fighting corruption. You can go through every facet of life and find that all does not appear to be what it is in reality. How does this all relate to the example above? That should be almost self-explanatory to the Muslim. But just a quick point that there is hardly a person who is not tainted by the evil that pervades society, nay the evil that pervades the planet. Too few are willing or able to speak about it because they have mentally been washed away and believing that the current sweeping them away, means good. The answer to every question is to refer to Allah and His messenger, Muhammad ﷺ and nothing has been left out. This blog has always been to get you to think, to ponder, to discuss and look for those ways to get closer to Allah. Of course, along that way is a faith that can never be independent of action. To the Christian who queried our form of worship, then that person left out the purpose, the purpose of life. Just like anybody would find it strange that a father, Prophet Abraham – peace be upon him, was ready to sacrifice his son, he did it because he believed and worshipped Allah who commanded him to do so (although Allah rewarded him for his intention and the sacrifice was a replacement ram). The first point is to believe in God, Allah, and to worship Him as it pleases Him. What your views are on the matter is of no consequence.

The views you have on worship must conform to Allah’s command and that of His prophet, Muhammad ﷺ. Anything else is but an opinion which carries weight, if any at all, only for a short while in this world but will be meaningless and worthless on the Day of Reckoning if it did not conform with Quran and Sunnah. Islam is a complete way of life and covers all aspects from rituals to health and wellbeing to inter-personal relationships to penal law, etc. Your knowledge and education must conform to Allah’s law and guidance. Islam is a complete way of life – It covers your purpose on earth.

What about Palestine and your role? What about “laa adwa” and pandemics? What about healthy eating and fitness? What about avoiding interest (usury)? The list goes on. Then consider how much of a way of life Islam is for you and consider the reasons you are lacking. Then consider the state of the ummah.

Who do you emulate?

 

Everyone has a choice even though, at some point, it may appear not to be the case. The proof that everyone has a choice is your belief, or not, in a God and the belief in paradise and hell in the afterlife. If everyone believed the same, then chances are it is because there was no choice in the matter, or rather the ability to choose.

That you have a say in a matter directly related to God, Allah, and you choose a path other than the faith and belief in Allah, is such a big decision. It shows your ability to challenge even your Creator. How then do you not, too, challenge your government and other authorities when they implement mind-boggling laws and regulations and engage in acts of mass deception with other governments? How is it that your governments support the oppression and genocide of a people? But more importantly, it is the Muslim who needs to be challenged, the Muslim who accepts the worship of One God, Allah, accepts the Prophethood of Muhammad ﷺ and the last divine revelation from Allah, viz Quran. After that, when Quran tells us that man will be placed on earth as His, Allah’s, representative, meaning that he (man) is to encourage with good and prohibit the sin, then how are Muslims are not at the forefront of implementing justice and peace? Rather, they are dependent on the United Nations and its organs. As for health, they implement WHO directives which does not have the best interest of people at heart. As for government loans, they look to the International Monetary Fund and World Bank which has interest, usury, as its cornerstone. As for education, more and more of the primary education is eroded of its good values while sexualisation and sexual education is being forced on young innocent minds. A genocide is happening in Palestine while our support of the oppressed leaves much to be desired. In the hijri month of Rabi-ul-Awal, people justify celebrating the birth of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in a way that he did not teach us, nor did his companions engage in these practices in the manner his birth is celebrated today. While you go to great lengths to motivate this, the actual teaching and religious obligations are not that vociferously supported and implemented, but rather excuses are sought as a defence for your disobedience.

“Verily by time man(kind) is lost”. When will you and I rectify ourselves and contribute positively to the ummah and mankind at large. Who do you emulate when you say, “we hear, and we disobey”? Imagine living back at the time of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, would you and I have been his companions? Would we have been of the fortunate ones back then? We have been blessed with eemaan (faith in Allah and the clear and open rejection of the worship anything or anyone else). May we die upon that and may our last actions be our best actions.

Don’t stop talking about khilafat.
