March to the Holy Land - Part 8

 

 Arrogance is the mistake

Knowledge is taken away from the ummah by the passing of the scholars. The masses have been further dumbed down by their education and their inclination to the tools of satan. The debate here will not be about technology itself but by its application. Added to this is the weakness of belief of Muslims. It is all interrelated. Thus, it is for you to understand that this conflict between Iran and Israel has little, if any impact on Muslims, as a whole, and Islam. Except, of course, as mentioned, if a spark from a downed missile lands in Muslims lands. Therein lies the danger for everybody.

It may be that it should not be seen as a danger for Muslims, but as a blessing. Your faith will speak much to it. Regime change in Iran, or not, has little immediate meaning for us. The greater plan of the Zionists is set to come into play. Many believe the Zionists are arrogant enough to allow the war to spill over to include the entire Middle East. This may be the case, since they are/were preparing for the antichrist, the false messiah. In understanding the ahadith on end times, the signs of the hour, then the malhama happens before then, i.e. the coming of ad-Dajjal. His advent is the start of a most difficult period. Is this, his appearance, the reason for the Zionist arrogance? Time will tell. However, irrespective of the imminent coming of ad-Dajjal or not, their arrogance cannot be disputed.

The need for humanitarian aid into Gaza is of absolute great importance. The march to Rafah to highlight this point is necessary. Obstacles and blockades are placed even in the way of this peaceful protest from people who embarked on it from all over the world. It is naïve to think that this momentum will die down. And if it does not die down, but escalates, then the least of the casualties will be the leaders and rulers of these lands. One, therefore, hopes for a peaceful and humanitarian solution. Anything short of that, will have unnecessary consequences. I am not keen to live at the time of Ad-Dajjal, and perhaps I won’t, but the current situation seems dire. Perhaps, Allah will bring about a solution in the apparent quiet of the night with the prayer of the oppressed being key. You are reminded of your focus.

Israel will not be able to fire all these missiles and drop all these bombs were it not for America and its allies who, for the least part, are the suppliers. Thus, consider that any war will be protracted as long as Iran have not capitulated. There is little reason to rejoice either way. Quds must be liberated. But who will? If ever there is a bomb to be dropped, it is this one: The Shi’a have no interest in Masjid-ul-Aqsa and do not consider it sacred. The march to the Holy lands will happen. The question is whether it will be led by the Mahdi or will Muslims be strong enough to do so before then. Allah knows the timeline best. Our efforts are to strive by planting seeds that will sprout, starting with our families. Educate yourself for His sake. Ready yourself.

March to the Holy Land - Part 6

 

1.  Iran Nuclear

The latest strike on Iran by the Zionist state is an interesting development. Context is key but deception is overwhelming. The sparring before has had a follow up. When and how will Iran respond. While we touched on the developments and creation of the Arab states over the last century, a neighbouring nation needs some examination too. They are not Arab. These Persians, at some point, reverted to Islam until a couple of centuries ago when they became Shi’a (except for a few).

 

Who are the Shi’a? This is a brief introduction to them. It started as a political grouping favouring ‘Ali bin Abee Taalib (Allah be pleased with him) and the Ahlul Bayt as the rightful successors and claimants to the Caliphate upon the demise of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It evolved over time to be rather distinct from what is commonly known as Sunni Islam. Of the Shi’a beliefs are that many of the companions apostatised after Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. These companions, starting with Abu Bakr and Umar and including Prophet Muhammad’s ﷺ wives, and essentially Ayeshah (Allah be pleased with them) are to be cursed. They reject the hadith of the Ahlus Sunnah and have their own hadith. Hadith is a subject that have strict rules. If then they reject the majority of the companions, then from where do they get their hadith? There are twelve imams who are from Ahlul Bayt. There are different sects within Shiasm with the twelvers (those following the 12 Imams) being the dominant group. Another interesting point is that do not consider Masjid-ul-Aqsa as having any importance in Islam.

 

Then why are they at odds with the Zionist state? Why are they supporting the Palestinians? This brings us to an authentic hadith in Sahih Muslim where Prophet Muhammad said: “The Dajjal would be followed by seventy thousand Jews of Isfahan wearing Persian shawls.” Early reports following the recent attack on Iran was that there was much help from inside Iran. Is this latest attack a false flag or is it an attempt to draw the whole region into this conflict? From October 7^th 2023, attempts have been made to draw Iran into this conflict. Has Iran rightly resisted the temptation or is the agenda a little bit more complex? Until Iran shows clear intent in causing real damage to Israel, their role will be considered as being complicit to the Zionist actions. However, it is a major concern if this does translate into a major regional war but it will mean the end of Israel. Are the Zionists that arrogant that they will risk annihilation? Let’s park that question for a moment.

The march to Palestine is happening. This is not to be taken lightly. Will they stop it and who is “they”?

March to the Holy Land - Part 4

 

Arab Land

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ established the Islamic state in Medinah. After his passing, the baton of leadership was given to Abu Bakr (Allah be pleased with him) as the first Caliph of the Muslims. The caliphate expanded far and wide during the reign of Umar ibn al-Khattab (Allah be pleased with him). He was followed by Uthman and then Ali (Allah be pleased with them). It was after this that the next caliph, Mu’awiyah appointed his son, Yazeed, to succeed him. This gave rise to the Umayyad dynasty. They were eventually ousted and replaced by the Abbasid dynasty. Alongside came the Fatimid dynasty, and, for a short while, the Mamluks. The Ottoman empire was the last to hold the caliphate which was abolished with their demise.

You may have your own view of the Ottoman Empire. The debate is not about the religiosity or the beliefs of the Ottomans. Unless you wish to declare them Non-Muslim, a heavy call, then that argument is different. However, they had the caliphate and that was enough for Muslims. It was the goal of the Western powers and the Czar-led Russia to destroy the Ottoman empire and more importantly, the Caliphate. Their meddling in the affairs of the Ottomans led to Sultan Abdul Hamid II to be deposed. While the Ottomans were already reeling from the constant barrage from these foreign powers, the final blow really was the deposing of Sultan Abdul Hamid. The few years it survived beyond him was largely just the last breathes of the empire. Two things happened then. The Ottomans made the mistake of entering World War I. Having already stirred the flames of rebellion in Arab lands, the Ottomans entering the war gave the British more reason to continue on this path and with greater vigour.

Read into it what you will, but your lineage means nothing by Allah, but rather it is your Allah-consciousness. One of the Arabs who rebelled was Sharif Hussein, a descendant of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Perhaps rebellion is one thing, but to enter into an alliance with the British and then kill your fellow Muslims, is quite another thing. This is how the Arab states effectively became colonies of the West. Sure, they have independence and sovereignty for all to see, but I will leave it to you to make sense of it, if only looking the current Middle Eastern situation. The few blanks to be filled in: The Sykes Picot agreement took precedence over any agreement that Hussein had with the British. Palestine was lost and placed under British rule for the establishment of a Zionist state. The British also had an arrangement with the Al-Saud family. The result, Sharif Hussein ended up in Trans-Jordan (now Jordan) where his son, Abdullah, was given temporary rule by the British. Sharif’s other son, Faizal, eventually became king of Iraq. Weird story that. Abdul-Aziz bin Saud took over the Hejaz and proclaimed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The bottom line is that the hand that fueled the flames that lead to the demise of the Ottoman Empire and the Caliphate, is very much still exerting influence in that region. Now, going back to the Balfour declaration and the Sykes-Picot agreement, where is the Arab agreement? With whom were these agreements and what exactly did/does it contain?

The line in the Sand: Part 8

 

Chapter 8: Groups and Sects

Following a madhab carries benefits, the first of which is that a great learned person already collated the rulings of Islam into one. Something for which to be grateful. There are matters of aqeedah (belief) that further categorise Muslims into groups. The four imams of the madhabs still known today, did not differ on matters of aqeedah, so a misguided person or group cannot hide behind their madhab on this issue.

However, even during the time of the four imams, issues of aqeedah raised its head. Being exposed to foreign ideas and influences, some people inclined to a different way of thinking. Before this, problems started arising with the rise of the Khawarij and the Shi’i. While initially the shi’a were based purely on political difference, with time it evolved into a sect of its own, away from Ahlus-sunnah. The focus here will not be on these groups. Rather the focus is on those who use speech and logic in their arguments rather than Quran and Sunnah. Yet, these people will claim to follow Quran and Sunnah. For the moment, let’s leave the topic of “who is Ahlus sunnah” hanging. These posts are issues with which you need to get to grips through addressing with, and learning from, credible scholars. The difference between groups owning the title, is that while true followers of Quran and sunnah seeks proof from these main sources, the other group will incline to speech and logic. On these groups, differences of Aqeedah arose. These are serious matters which you need to carefully learn and consider. The point is what are your main sources. Do you love Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and follow him? If you follow him, then is it not important to get his view on the matter? Did not his companions understand his teachings better than us? There arose people and groups who inclined to using speech and logic. This was something that was denounced by the great imams. Effectively, at the hands of one earlier group, many scholars were killed because they rejected them and their teachings. One such teaching was that the Quran was created. They were eventually marginalised, but new groups came and merely reformed some things while inclining to their methodology.  

There are more issues to discuss. For the moment, consider what causes differences and which differences are serious, and which are not. If you remain unaware of these differences, it may be good. But it is more likely that your ignorance of these differences may not give you certainty of the line in the sand. Furthermore, which differences require rigidity and which not. Understanding these differences will be helpful. Many are afraid to ask the questions for fear of exposing their ignorance. Perhaps the question we should all ask is, “what will be my position in front of Allah on the Day of Resurrection?”. Today there are many terms used for groups or sects and how many have any idea what it means. Sometimes people have been grouped together by people outside such a group. Labels are attached, sometimes derogatory or slanderous. Nevertheless, some of the names and labels used are: Ahlus sunnah, asharias, mu’tazilah, Deobandi, Barelvi, Salafi, Wahhabi, sufi. And within these group may be groups.

The line in the sand is key to your way forward or must you reverse to get onto the straight line? This is not a judgement call, but merely a “dare to think” or shall I say “Dare to learn” call. We all have work to do. The most amazing part of these posts is that I am really addressing myself. The flip side of that is that the next person is but a mirror to oneself, so we reflect and learn.

Blow the Trumpet - Part 5

 

Things are not always what the seem. Although for the most part, you can only act on what is apparent, know the deception is ever growing.

Trade wars! Tariff hikes to make America great. Only, that it will have such a devastating impact that nothing can trump a knock-out blow like that. Is that the story or the diversion? Is it really purely economic? In truth, with greed being the order of the day, economics certainly have a role to play. Will Europe tumble before they engage in a suicidal war with Russia? Or is this really the diversion to cause more mayhem in the Middle East, Palestine being the focal point. The rate of diversions and distractions is more mind boggling than a game of Tetris. This game is not all that stimulating apparently and there are simpler games to stimulate the brain. Perhaps, the lack of engagement might be a reason for many being clueless. Of course, Muslims are exhorted to reflect deeply on the signs of Allah in Quran that the heart may find rest or rather, contentment. Being unmindful and oblivious are certainly not traits for which anyone would sign up. The single biggest step for Muslims is to free Masjid-ul-Aqsa. If you study history, then you will know that in 1187CE, Salahuddin conquered Jerusalem. Trace his path to it and there will be important clues. Muslims lands have been colonised and there is no modern day Salahuddin leading the charge. That does not cause Muslim to lose hope and be in despair. Focus. The tariff war is a diversion or stepping stone to something bigger. There is controlled opposition on every front, even those that may be so open and are considered as leaders. No, don’t fall for being suspicious of everyone, but be wary, for if any leader strays, he is replaceable. The main task is to be informed, to learn to join the dots and to be vigilant.

On a side note (which really needs to be an important topic on its own), is to re-look at your engagement with the financial markets, starting with banks. Learn ways to protect yourself from a global financial meltdown and/or for you to lose your freedom. Joining the dots might give you the clue. The main point to realise is that man was created to manage the affairs of this world as representatives of Allah. And who can be a representative of Allah and who is disqualified? Therein lies your answer on how to tread the way ahead.

It is not about MAGA for indeed the answer to that is that you will be on the winning team when you know and submit that Allah is the Greatest. Don’t be distracted but focus on your role as defined by Allah. The starting point, in the weak state that we are, is to make dua, to boycott those who fund atrocities and to learn to join the dots.

The Plot Thickens

 It was an assassination. If it was, then there must be motive. Were the perpetrators from within the country or from a hostile country? How did they do it?

The good thing about understanding eschatology (referring to Jewish, Christian, and Muslim beliefs about the end of history) is that man’s stupidity is exposed. In truth, their lack of faith and God-consciousness is exposed. Eschatology per the three religions mentioned, differ, largely because the ultimate belief systems differ. It is mindboggling that decent God-fearing people will be intent on destroying life on earth as well at the earth itself. Thus, it is fairly apparent that Satan’s prints are all over much of current life on earth. His minions have taken control of most of the world and is systematically going through the motions of destroying it. You have fallen for the hoax of global warming and “excessive” carbon emissions while nothing of the sort is actually happening. There are carbon emissions, but plant life needs carbon dioxide. Of course, pollution is a problem with much of it stemming from the use of artificial products such as plastics. While you often talk about alternatives as the second-best thing, biodegradable packaging, as an example, should be the primary option and everything else alternatives. Food and medicines are primarily no longer organic while organic is seen as the alternative. Should not Allah’s way be the primary way and not to deviate from it except in extreme circumstances? Am I digressing from the assassination plot? Yeah. The world is hell-bent on self-destruction. Notice the same players. Good will always fight evil but evil, naively, thinks it can win. Rather, the minions of Satan thinks they can win while Satan is well aware of the truth and the consequences. Since the latest round of genocide, somehow it appears that Iran is being provoked to enter into a war. It may well be that Iran is party to this plan which ultimately is to get the middle east into a war. Did Iran not play along or was the ex-President too willing to play along? The answer to this may indicate who the possible assassins are, if indeed you think it may well be an assassination.

Iran has a place in eschatology. Eschatology is such a subject that at some point you will know how close the world is to its end. For now, it is mere speculation. The end seems near, but it can be really very far off. The messiah is a sign except it means different things for Jews, Muslims and Christians. One question to ponder is whether the real Jews, the semitic Jews have fallen for the deception of the Ashkenazi Jews? Wait, what? What’s the difference? – Another time if you need more information. Ultimately, the Jews and Christians will believe in Yeshu (Eesa/Jesus) – peace be upon him, before the world ends.
