RELIGION
Many would say that this is the number one reason for most wars…but I beg to differ. The last two World Wars were fought over ideologies: Communism then Fascism…all the smaller conflicts have been over gaining control of resources, and exported exploitation of resources to maintain an affluent lifestyle in the West. The time upon us now is the Religious War coined “the war on terror” but it is really the war on Islam. The military occupations of lands like Afghanistan & Iraq are to control the Muslim resources of mainly oil, pipelines that traverse across muslim lands, as well as to take up strategic positioning for drone strikes inside Nuclear Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon. Most recently, also drawing a clearer understanding into the isolation of Russia, Iran & China with air defense systems to shield Israel, Saudi Arabia and USA from retaliatory attacks…
Then we have the few that say they don’t believe in religion; and I too would agree but not to the extent of disbelief. I don’t believe in man-made religion…But I tell you just like children, adults need to discipline as well. It is not ok to live upon the earth in any manner you see fit. Life isn’t meant to be in that way, and the creation of the earth wasn’t to be a waste land for human being. Everything is created for a purpose and it’s about time people who don’t understand that purpose to understand…
Let me begin by saying I respect what people choose as their faith…This chapter is not intended to put anyone’s faith down, but to only share the fact of truth. By truth I mean statements backed by proof and sources not just biased to one faith and not another. I am not seeking any coverts because the blessing of faith is a gift of Allah, and it is only he Ta’ala (Most High) who can guide in which none would be able to lead astray, and if he chooses not to guide then none can guide…I include myself in the continued want of guidance; and I don’t exclude myself from anything I have written. People confined to just the English language miss out on a lot of understanding even when reading text in English…Americans in particular are aggressive and so they can have a bit of stubbornness when told differently than what they are accustomed too. I too fell under the Christian persuasion having a Grandfather (mother’s side) who was a minister and attending church, but I never accepted the faith. As a child I read along, I shared good moments in choir etc. but as I matured I began to ask questions like many others who share their stories. Confined then with no other sources to turn too besides my mother I would ask her many things. Some of the questions puzzled her and she would then tell me to remind her and we would both ask the minister, my grandfather passed away while I was young and lived in the south while I lived in the north. When we asked the minister in the local church he could never answer, and would then commence to try flirting with my mother and offer us candy…
One of the questions I used to ask my mother was how did Adam and Eve populate the World if they had two sons Cain and Able? Then Cain kills Able, which leaves on ONE son…for the most part no one could answer, but would you believe that I was told by ADULTS that Cain committed incest with his mother to populate the world? How could the first humans Adam and Eve both created by the hand of the creator perfectly then be reduced to the major sins of incest?
Years would pass before I got the answer to this question…In fact I’m not ashamed to say that it was last year 2013 that I heard a Muslim Scholar very well known (Mufti Isma’il Ibn Musa Menk of Zimbabwe) tell the story from the Israeliat which means the stories of Yacub/Jacob A.S Jacob/Yacub was given the name Israel and this is why you hear the 12 tribes called Banu Israel or children of Israel…Not Israel the country nor the Jews…please understand prior to 1948 the land Israel didn’t exist, and these people there today are criminally occupying the land staking claim to a lineage they ARE NOT…
So the Mufti says: Eve got pregnant 20 times each time she was pregnant she gave birth to a boy and a girl. The boy & girl were called WOMB brother & sister and therefore the Shariah or law for Adam then was that no WOMB brother and sister could marry, instead they had to marry other than their own womb sister. This is said to be the premise of hatred for Cain towards his brother Able…Cain’s womb sister was very good looking and the sister of Able was not so good looking (the first case of jealously, and want based on looks); and Able was due to marry the sister of Cain. Adam mediated in the difference between them and made a prayer to Allah in which he tells him to have each of them place a sacrifice of their livelihood atop of the mountain and whichever is eaten up by the fire is the one accepted and thus the conclusion to the dispute. The sacrifice on the mountain was not to offer to Allah/God any food for he is in NO need of food, it is solely for the purpose of judging between the brothers although until this day sacrifices are made to God’s…Man can’t not see Allah, nor will he speak to any of us exception to Moses; therefore this fire devouring the sacrifice of the one in which Allah’s judgment was for is the tangible method to SHOW them which was accepted.
Abele’s sacrifice was accepted and thus the jealousy/ hatred of Cain towards his brother drove him to kill him. In every stage of man’s development upon the earth Allah’s sharia/law has guided mankind in what he is to do…Now that many more people exist, this type of sharia has been abrogated and abrogated and abrogated….until we have the last abrogation of law the Quran…
I swear to you because it was moments like this that were pivotal in my life, and I have never lost those words from my youth of about 9yrs old. I would speak to my mother about the acceptance and when I saw friends of mine being baptized; I asked her if I too had to do the same? She told me, “Why do you have to do what others are doing”? “You do what your heart tells you to do, and don’t worry about following other people”. So like my mother I’m encouraging you to use your heart, not in a way of emotion, but open it to reason and verify what you know…
Re-unification of people upon the truth as the truth has been deliberately mired in centuries of lies and is still the main source in the world view used to divide and rule. Only in America mostly is race a major factor…So you ask me how was I able to come into this truth finding, what makes me so special that I know and you don’t? You are right, I’m not special nor do I carry myself as such…first I thank Allah for opening my HEART & eyes to see, understand and accept the truth when it came and by the means in which it came, the other differences I could point out would be my extensive reading/ research and travel for more than 20yrs now. Many old friends and family can remember the days in which I lived similar to what they may still be doing, but what they don’t know are the conversations I had with my mother and all the reading I would come home too. In my home I had books; in my home I had other means of occupying my time. I know of people who live to enjoy and they don’t know when to turn it off. Always searching to be entertained, instead of occupying the mind in something that will teach & elevate the consciousness. Knowing the players stats, what college they attended, or fantasying of some soap drama, or reality TV program it’s all non-sense to waste time and dumb people down.
This discipline of reading has sustained itself with me throughout the years and I have never been afraid to challenge anything in finding out the truth. If there’s no answer to something I immediately draw suspicion, because in all existence there is an opposite too everything…good/bad, happy/sad, love/hate, question/answer LOL. I know that sometimes answers come in time, but there should be something that at least leads to the road of the answer; not I don’t know especially in revelation because Allah is perfect and would not mislead his creation. Blind following is dangerous…we all have been given the capacity to learn through speech, eyesight, hearing, and intellect…even those with handicaps of eyesight and hearing are remarkably able to do things just as if their handicaps were not there. Remember the old commercial of the frying pan with cooking oil and they say, “This is drugs”? Then they crack an egg throw it in and it begins to sizzle. They say, “This is your brain on drugs”. Well, it’s no different when we blind follow because you are wasting your brain by not using it to come to the truth yourself or at least verifying what people are saying by using all sources of information gathering…
Take for example the creation of the Bible…What is the bible? Has anyone asked themselves that question? What is the position of the Clergy (Minister, Imam, Rabbi etc.)… The role of the clergy is not to interpret the scripture the interpretation is the job of the prophet only. Like the user’s manual to a new iPhone; we wouldn’t seek anyone other than apple to explain the features of the phone and the use of it. The revelation of Allah needs no further interpretations or opinions people add to it as if Allah is insufficient. “I think God would….” And “In my opinion I think its ok….” Statements like this are devoid of faith, because one condition of faith is to accept what Allah has ordained no questions asked…This is the current condition of affairs. Everyone loves to be opinioned and that is a wonderful thing, but opinions should be kept to mundane things and not the laws of the creator. Unfortunately, the only faith with its revelation intact as it was revealed is Islam. One of the many reasons for the Qur’an is that it leads to all truth in every similitude for mankind, and that it is a revelation that confirms what came before it. The succession of Prophet Hood at times comes with new revelation or law. Ibrahim A.S. (Abraham given the Suhuf), Dawud A.S. (David given the Sabur), Musa a.s. (the Torah) Esa Ibn Mariam a.s. (the Injeel gospel), and Muhammad s.a.w. (the Qur’an). Many other revelations given to previous messengers/prophets in a succession of guidance to mankind. From Adam to Muhammad; because the Lord is not finite and not contained in one revelation but that he Allah is merciful and continues his guidance to man in every age and to every nation raising from amongst them his chosen to bestow his mercy in revelation. This is why you have messengers (Rasools) and Prophets (nabi (1) anbiyah (plural). A Rasool is both a messenger & Nabi but a Nabi is only a nabi…So, what is the difference? Example: Musa a.s. is a Rasool because Allah gave him revelation and law and Harun a.s (his brother Aaron) is a Nabi who is inspired by Allah In dreams or within himself (which the dreams of prophets are revelation & true), also by way of Allah’s messenger Jabril a.s.. Another two Esa Ibn Mariam a.s. and Yayah Ibn Zachariah a.s; (John the Baptist in English and his father Zachariah also a prophet who was the guardian of Mariam after her mother Hannah died and her father Imran a.s a prophet who died before she was born).
The cousins Esa & Yayah; Esa was given the Injeel (gospel having a few amendments to the law of Musa A.S. that were previously forbidden now made permissible). Yayah A.S. was only a prophet and followed the law of Musa a.s. until Esa Ibn Mariam a.s. birth and revelation came. Of the 5 greatest messengers honored by Allah are Nuh (Noah), Ibrahim (Abraham), Musa (Moses), Esa Ibn Mariam (Jesus) and Muhammad peace be on all of them. Referred as nabi-ul-azzm (prophets of honor) because of the hardships they endured in delivering their messages. We of course love and honor all of the prophets as the best amongst mankind chosen for each nation of mankind upon the earth to deliver the guidance of the creator, and we make no distinctions between them other than what the creator has made…
The Qur’an is Allah’s written word, although it was given in an oral manner to the prophet s.a.w it was always intended by the creator to be a book as many verses indicate. Secondly, the Speech of the prophet in response to questions asked etc. is also revelation the spoken revelation from Allah to Jabril a.s. relayed to Muhammad s.a.w. as answers & explanations to what was asked. Unlike the Bible the words of Allah and the words of the prophet are not within the same book…Many verses in the Qur’an begin with “Qul” (Say) as Allah is directing his prophet on what to say.
The Imam’s on the Jumua’ah Friday congregation prayer, in knowledge circles, or schools DO NOT interpret the scripture they only restate the verses as they were delivered and the interpretations given are those from the Prophet s.a.w.. As I mentioned this is a very serious matter and it shouldn’t be taken lightly. Most verses of all scripture are straight forward giving judgments, prohibitions, or giving examples in stories of prophets…others are packed with ongoing wisdoms that keep giving. These are the verses that those who lack faith love to debate over, because these verses are packed with ongoing wisdoms that the human mind can’t take in all at once. Or like the explanation of how the human body develops as Allah tells us in the Quran when revealed 1435 yrs. ago wasn’t confirmed by science until 20th century. So the knowledge of Allah in his book keeps giving right along with man’s modernity…
Authority lies with scholars not the common clergy who are knowledgeable in the scripture, jurisprudence, judgments’, prohibitions, speech of the Prophet who can make qualified statements; not anyone clergy who knows enough to run the affairs of the church, mosque or synague.
So back to the questions…what is the bible? I will tell you what the “Bible” is to me. IT’s A MAN MADE BOOK…Why? #1 Because Allah/God never revealed any revelation in English, Allah/God revealed the Sabur to David, Psalms, Torah and he revealed the Injeel (referred to in English as Gospel or New Testament). The bible is the compilation of all into one book, thus my reason for saying it’s a man-made book. The original sources of all the books mentioned are no more; and the bible is re-published every year taking something out or adding something or rectifying a verse, year after year. So much so that now you have the: king James non-drama, king James drama, 2001 English standard drama, Anglicized non-drama, anglicized drama, 1989 new revised standard drama, world English bible drama, Mormon bible, latter-day saints bible, catholic bible (which has 7books more than the king James version) and the list goes on and on. No two are alike…Amongst the various sects of Christianity the book changes but the Qur’an is one even amongst the deviant sects. I don’t mean the translation of the Qur’an into various languages because the Arabic language is rich with words often have more than one meaning and at times deviation in choice of word may occur. But the Arabic Qur’an as revealed unto the prophet is the Qur’an I am speaking about that is unchanged for 1440yrs.
Allah himself even challenges anyone to reproduce a book like unto it, then lessens the challenge to even the reproduction of one chapter…then again to even that of a simple verse…Because of the many miracles therein and scientific proof of the existence of Allah that scientist today are stunned by it a book revealed 1400yrs ago; and the sheer language grammatical achievements unlike any other literary work ever produced…The evidences are all there, I leave that to you to search but a very good documentary to begin with is (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZS1x-6al2pE). You owe it to yourself to watch…gather the wife & family pop some popcorn and enjoy…Its better than the cinema. It’s well done and full of supporting evidences…
I am not purposely making any derogatory comparisons from one revelation to the other because frankly the whole truth can’t be compare with something that contains some truth mixed with what man as written. The reason scholars have said that the Injeel (New testament gospel of Esa Ibn Mariam) has been lost is due to the fact of instead of the followers of the faith learning the language it was reveal in to get the just of the meanings, and memorizing it they have been interpreting it… from Aramaic, to Hebrew, to Greek, to Latin, then the European languages and lastly English; and in doing so they lost the entire revelation. The red letter bible which is rare today; had everything Esa ibn Mariam a.s said in red letters and everything else was attributed primarily to Paul (a self-appointed disciple who never met Esa ibn Mariam a.s who was a bounty hunter of his followers before his falling of the horse, hitting his head and thus turning to be an advocate of the faith and conspirator in high jacking the realities of Esau’s true teachings).
What is in red accounts for less than 20% of the entire Gospel which makes the Gospels non-revelation since the revelation comes from Allah to the Messenger/Prophet which in this case has spoken far less… In addition to the translation is the ignorance to language rules of Hebrew, Aramaic, & Arabic all sister languages. This is a huge fault and I don’t understand why anyone who doesn’t speak these languages fails to understand this when someone who speaks the language corrects them. This would be the case if someone was in your presence butchering the English language and you corrected them but they by ignorance or arrogance fail to use the rules of grammar. How selfish of people…Americans are the less likely to speak foreign languages than any other country and when they travel it’s usually always to English influenced locations.
English has singular (one) plural (two or more) where these ancient languages have singular (one), two by itself, plural (three), and the royal (we) of power…Allah/ God refers to himself with this Royal we…Even in Hebrew the word Elohim:
E·lo·him
eˈlōhim,ˌelōˈhēm,ˌelōˈhim/
Noun
Noun: Elohim
In the traditional Jewish view, Elohim is the Name of God as the Creator and Judge of the universe (Gen 1:1-2:4a). “The Holy One, Blessed be He, said to those, you want to know my name? I am called according to my actions. When I judge the creatures I am Elohim, and when I have mercy with my world, I am named YHVH” (Ex R. 3:6).
In the second creation story (Genesis 2:4b-ff) the Name of God is revealed as the Sacred Name YHVH (from the Semitic root that means “to be”) and expresses the idea of God’s closeness to humans. YHVH “breathed into his (Adam’s) nostrils the breath of life” (Genesis 2:7).
(Note the YHVH the constants, this represents the word “Yehwah”Yehvah”) Another very important note is that in these languages they are written in just constants with no vowels…if someone with no knowledge of the language in its richness may apply the wrong vowel and get a completely different word. This is an example of writing without vowels taken from the local paper about space program with Nasa technology below etc.…
حتضن المغرب خلال الفترة الممتدة بين 1و4 أبريل، "المؤتمر الدولي الثالث لاستخدام تكنولوجيا الفضاء في إدارة الموارد المائية"، والذي يعقده مكتب الأمم المتحدة بالمغرب بالتعاون مع جائزة الأمير سلطان بن عبد العزيز العالمية للمياه بالعاصمة الرباط، لتعزيز قدرات الدول لاستخدام تكنولوجيا الفضاء وتطبيقاتها وتقوية التعاون الإقليمي والدولي في هذا المجال، وزيادة الوعي لدى صانعي القرار والباحثين والمجتمع الأكاديمي بأهمية استخدام تلك التكنولوجيات.
ومن المرتقب أن يشهد المؤتمر استعراض العديد من الأنشطة، على رأسها المشروع الذي يتقدم به المجلس العربي للمياه، القاضي بتحسين الإدارة المائية وبناء القدرات من خلال استخدام تكنولوجيا الاستشعار عن بُعد حيث يتولى المجلس العربي للمياه التنسيق لتنفيذ هذا المشروع بالتعاون مع الشركاء البنك الدولي (WB) الوكالة الأمريكية للتنمية (USAID) ووكالة (NASA)، (GEF). حيث سيتم عرض ما تم إنجازه من أنشطة المشروع خلال الفترة السابقة على المستوى الإقليمي، أو على المستوى المحلى للدول المشاركة ومراجعة خطة العمل للفترة القادمة وحتى عام 2015
Now have a look at this:
Here you see the use of vowels represented by the short lines above -and under _also what appears to be an apostrophe but bigger. Many mistakes in translation have been caused by this simple fallibility of those chosen to translate when they lacked deep knowledge of the richness in vocabulary…and or thought from themselves that the text so read differently; and thus changed what was said altogether by applying the wrong vowel. This would be like FST apply a vowel F”I”ST but it may have been written to mean F”A”ST…
Another Important Example: Read this word…Hallauya…reading it from the left to right as any English speaker would you read “Hallauya” calling on your Lord or offering praise…But when you read the same word from Right to left like Semetic readers of Hebrew, Aramaic, & Arabic you have “Ya Allahu” which means “O Allah” calling on your Lord. The letter “u” the sound means “him” in Semetic language so saying “Hallauya” you are actually saying “Allah him o” but from right to left you are saying, “O Allah him”. The “him” here is a reinforcing word to who is being called upon “O Allah to him do I call on”…Sounds with one letter can mean whole words at times. Some say the word Hallauya means “praise the lord” but it doesn’t…AL Hamdulilah means” The Praise is for Allah”; while Subhanallah Rabbil A’la means “Glory to Allah Lord Most High”. English speakers are NOT in a position to giving meaning to words or language they don’t understand…Allahi or Elahi to sematic readers would both know this means “My Lord” since there are common words in all Semitic languages and variations in sound & accent just like that of Americans, British, Australians, Canadians, & Jamaicans…all speak English but the word sounds vary…Lots of English words come from Arabic if you want to explore it further visit this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_words_of_Arabic_origin.
Now from the sixth hour darkness fell upon all the land until the ninth hour. 46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, 'Eli, Eli, lama sabach thani?' that is, 'My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?' “(Matthew 27:45-46, NASB)
The English words ELI ELI (Strong's Concordance Number #G2241) in their literal meaning in the Greek language are "God, God." The meaning of the word LAMA (Strong's Concordance Number #G2982) is "Why." Lastly, the exact meaning of the word SABACHTHANI (Strong's Concordance Number #G4518) is "You have left (forsaken, abandoned) me."
Elahi (אלהי) is Aramaic and means "My God." Elah means God (Name for God as 'Awesome One') in Aramaic. The "i" after Elah means "my". Elah-i, Elahi = my god. In the Bible Elahi is found only in the books of Ezra and Daniel…
Studying & Speaking Arabic, I understand the construct of rules and because Allah is known to his creation by his attributes he always uses “THE ROYAL WE” in describing himself and the prefix of “AL” is applied for tawheed (meaning singling out HIM God as the only one) Al= THE So when prefixed to his attributes it gives oneness to him…and this is the basis to the first pillar of faith “THERE IS NO ILAH BUT ALLAH” there is no God but God…this is the beauty of the language because it has within it tawheed that renders reverence, unlike English which associates partners to God. The days of the week all derivatives to pagan gods, the word god itself needs definition as to what god you are speaking about etc…Here are a few out of the 99 Known attributes of Allah/God:
الرحمن Al-Rahman the exceedingly Compassionate
Al-Rahim الرحيم the exceedingly merciful,
الملك Al-Malik the king and the sovereign, القدوس
Al-Quddus the holy, divine, the pure
السلام Al-salam the source of Peace
المؤمن Al-Mumin the granter of security(faith or belief)
المهيمن Al-Muhaymin the controller
العزيز Al-Aziz the mighty
الجبار Al-Jabbar the irresistible compeller
المتكبر Al-Mutakabbir the majestic supreme
الحكيم Al-Hakim the wise
الشكور Ash-Shukur the grateful,
The term Allāh is derived from a contraction of the Arabic definite article al- "the" and ilāh "deity, god" to al-lāh meaning "the [sole] deity, God" (ὁ θεὸς μόνος, ho theos monos). Cognates of the name "Allāh" exist in other Semitic languages, including Hebrew and Aramaic.[12] The corresponding Aramaic form is ʼĔlāhā ܐܠܗܐ in Biblical Aramaic and ʼAlâhâ ܐܲܠܵܗܵܐ in Syriac as used by the Assyrian Church, both meaning simply 'God'.[13] Biblical Hebrew mostly uses the plural form (but functional singular) Elohim. In the Sikh scriptures, Guru Granth Sahib, the term Allah (Punjabi: ਅਲਹੁ) is used 37 times.
The Arabic components (letters and symbols) that build-up the word "Allah":
1. alif
2. hamzat waṣl (همزة وصل)
3. lām
4. lām
5. shadda (شدة) which means the letter repeats itself “double L (aLLah)
6. dagger alif (ألف خنجرية) vowel on the repeating letter L for La sound
7. hāʾ ending letter “h” with like a emphasis on ending
So, hopefully with the brief history and explanation you can begin to understand the importance of knowing the rules of language even when you read the scripture in your own languages. If ignored you change the entire meaning of what is being said and thus you have allowed ignorance to change the understanding, and that of course is perpetuated and exaggerated. I love the truth, and I stand to defend the truth, just as one of you may be defending the bible in English after all this proof given. Just know that eventually all falsehood will perish and the truth will prevail.
I would also like to add the prostration, bowing notation…
Today, I think everyone would considered this action an act of worship, which the prostration we make in prayer to lower the head to the ground. The head being the intellect & location of consciousness for man representing his highest point of being when standing is lowered to the ground (lowest point) in submission to the creator. This is what the word Muslim means “the one who is submitting to the creator”. The word masjid meaning mosque is the place of Sajud (meaning prostration).
As the above pictures illustrate the prostration…Catholics, Monks, Hindus, and Synchs etc. have all practiced this type of reverence although the prostration may be rendered to other deities other than ALLAH…
But I would have you to know that the prostration has also been rendered as a gesture of respect not worship.
Nebuchadnezzar Promotes Daniel 2:46: 46Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face and did homage to Daniel, and gave orders to present to him an offering and fragrant incense. 47The king answered Daniel and said, "Surely your God is a God of gods and a Lord of kings and a revealer of mysteries, since you have been able to reveal this mystery."…
There are multiple references of “fell down” etc. and the use of the word worship is used inter-changeably and I argue the case to be shown anywhere that Jesus said for the people to worship him….Above the King is showing respect to the prophet Daniel…Another example is that of Yusef a.s. (Joseph) when he told his father Yacub a.s. about his dream of the sun, moon and stars making sajud (prostration) to him…then at the culmination of his dream he is the 2nd in charge of Egypt with Pharaoh and he sends for his family to come to Egypt and live with him there after his brothers have witnessed his presence in Egypt when Yusef reminds them of their deed of throwing him in the well . When reunited with them they all fell in prostration in respect to him not worship…Sun, Moon & stars= his father, mother, and 11 brothers…
This Prostration of respect is also the reason of the expulsion of Shaitan (Satan) from Jannah (the paradise). After Allah had created Adam and his body lay on the ground still without a soul, shaitan inspects the hollow being, and swears to mislead him if put in a higher position; Allah orders the angels and Satan to make sajud (prostration) to Adam out of respect to his position given him in the lowest Earth. The angels all honor the command, and Satan refuses thus he is cursed, cast out, and his hatred for mankind to mislead them begins….This is a practice of old, and new law/revelation has changed this and today the sajud of respect is no longer rendered, not even the bow towards anyone but ALLAH …
Another good example of a distortion would be when Allah/God is speaking to the creation that existed prior to man (which we will speak about later) Angels being the targeted audience here, when he says he will create another creation “man”. The Christian faith says, “God created man in his own image” implying that God himself looks like the human he’s going to create. Now really, anyone could derive to a logical conclusion just by asking yourself a few questions in an orderly fashion with contemplation of what you come up with… But so, so, so many people are blindly taken to this without reflection. Who is the man Allah will create? Adam…right? Prior to Adam there is nothing like Adam meaning no other human beings in existence right? So, When Allah created Adam how did he create him? Herein lies the MILLION dollar question & answer…When Allah created Adam he created Adam as a grown man. This means that Adam was created on his image of being a Man already…what this means is he was never a baby that grew up to be an adolescent, then an adult…he was created in the beginning on his image that he was to be…Eve his mate the same thing she was created as a woman already. Had they been babies and needed what you and I need to grow and mature who was to do that for them since they had no parents? Sure, Allah can do all things, but Allah is Al-Hay, Al-Khabir the Living giver of life and the Aware of all things Al-Hakim the wise meaning that he creates for a purpose. Allah is ABOVE is creation and not included in it nor is he confined to the limits he has placed in it such as time, day/night, sleep, food, water, calls of nature, and life/death. The human body is bound by these things and he is not. NOITHING is like unto him as given to us in the Qur’an Surah Al-Baqarah 255 first in Arabic, because when you look at text you see the text as it was spoken to the last prophet:
English translation:
Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi [(Meaning Chair but with the implication of being upon is Arsh (throne))] extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.
In conclusion to the point of making mistakes in verses by not applying language rules to translations, not understanding the languages are written using only constants so changes have made mistakes to scripture common and inevitable
Lastly, by also taking man-made descriptions about who the creator is, his majesty, grandeur, Lordship is really the worst crime man can make about Allah. Why does man do this? Simply put, lack of faith in the unseen…some have the need to make Allah tangible or make intermediaries in tangible things that are part of this creation wherein we exist which is the base creation. This is the source of Idol worship and worship of people as God or part of the God head…God willing, I hope that this point can really be taken in and chewed on a while so people understand that we belong to someone who is beyond human mental comprehension & much, much, more great than what they say...
When I left home I was 18yrs old (then USA) I went to the Middle East where I was immediately taken back. Exposed to the ancient lands of Prophets, Lands of legendary events and ancient civilizations… I was exposed to my roots for the first time, America providing only an historical fraction of the true identity of its colored captives, now 2nd class citizens. I’m sorry, but sometimes I find it humorous to provoke America with comments such as the previous true nonetheless; but by no means am I a person who rights out of blame. The fate of my people was the design of the creator to endure; and I accept all of his precepts because his wisdom encompasses all things.
There are tests placed upon all of us as individuals, groups & even nations; blessings, and hardships that if endured patiently will elevate you with Allah & make you stronger. In other cases calamities that should bring people back into his remembrance. America being the melting pot that it is…if you literally think of a pot of soup then this analogy becomes clearer. Always a land of multiversity America strips eventually anyone who comes to her of their pure culture to an adopted American, watered down version. Just another ingredient thrown into the soup… America has no culture of her own besides that of materialism, and eventually anything apposing this ideology or way of life has to be altered to accept it into its discipline. This is one reason for the conception and altering of belief systems to conform to the desires of people, the other being that of philosophy. Many secular deviations have come about based on these two principals. Desires…people serving desires cannot serve Allah at the same time, for no slave can righteously sever to masters. He will eventually have to disobey one to obey the other. Same is true with Allah, we must fight our lower selves as best as we can and train the nufs (the self) to follow a higher inclination of our spiritual self. Philosophy is the introduction of man’s reasoning upon what the creator through his infinite wisdom has already ordained. Through philosophy he seeks to find loop holes or flaws, anything in which he or she might exploit in order to serve a desire. The danger is when this speech is given an ear and promoted, the number of people increase, all inclined to do the same thing (serve desires) a secular order is spun off the original source and put into practice. You see this today religion is big business in America…Mega-churches televised, and often endorsed by government. Amongst the African American Ministry there is a lot of dirt. Meanwhile every religion in the world has been attacked in this way, and today with funding these new many secular groups trick a lot of people into following. The use of celebrity, social acceptances, demonetization & falsified attacks upon groups and even States (countries), and they have even slandered prophets themselves in making them Poets, Magicians, drunkards, or by making them commit prohibited acts of incest with changing their stories. The prophets of Allah are his chosen people upon which is the responsibility to give to mankind the guidance of his revelation; they are & were the best of all people in their time and could never be or commit such things…
Along with this comes the geographical isolation of the continent (North, Central & South America) to the rest of the world, the European eccentric attitude of old colonization times to include Australia and New Zealand with this isolation lot of manipulation has been done to keep people isolated mentally, physically, and spiritually. Europe is part of Asia Minor but yet it calls itself a continent by itself with no land disconnection from Asia… Applying tactics of colonization & warfare she (America and her allies) now subject their own. But America is far leading the pack in policing its own people and deviation from the laws of the constitution. Thinking back to previous chapters of separation of church and state you should see the intentional frustrations put on the people to strain and weaken faith based systems.
So, what’s going on and why today is religion the target. Well…that is what I have been trying to say and paint the parallel of connection between all these agendas and events. The complete stripping of religion in the world to the acceptance of the new order; You should realize that anything that is stripped of religion (meaning absence of God) then this is the doctrine of Satan…“NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM” An accurate translation of Novus Ordos Seclorum is "A New Order of the Ages." The capstone on the pyramid is the indication of the project not being complete but has been well underway for a long time with the near completion. The eye inside is of the capstone is the eye of the One Eyed Ad’ Dajjal (the false prophet & god, in which he claims one in the beginning then the later). Ad’ Dajjal simply means “the liar” but to English speaking people this is relevant to the anti-Christ…The prophet said that before the hour (the hour the horn is blown), that there would be 30 Ad’Dajjal’s that would come all doing their smaller parts of evil, but the Last of them would be Satan’s prized Great Messiah Ad’ Dajjal who would come out and rule the world from Jerusalem claiming he is the son of Mary Prophet Esa a.s. then he would proclaim himself God. He would be given permission by Allah to carry out different test upon the people in which many would be compelled to believe in him & follow. Every prophet has always warned their nations about Ad’ Dajjal because of the severe trials he would cause. But the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. said that he was given something in addition to the other prophets about the Ad’ Dajjal because the Prophet’s (Muhammad) coming is so close to the end and he is the Seal the Prophet hood. He was told that he is one eyed; that his right eye is like a bulging grape in some narrations and that his left eye is normal. In addition he was shown his physical description, and the word kfr (kafr, which means disbeliever) would appear on his forehead to any believer.
Of the many, many ahadith and sermons of the prophet about Akhira-Azam (the end times) I offer you these …
Hadith - Bukhari 9.241, Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar
Allah's Apostle stood up amongst the people and then praised and glorified Allah as He deserved and then he mentioned Ad-Dajjal, saying, "I warn you of him, and there was no prophet but warned his followers of him; but I will tell you something about him which no prophet has told his followers: Ad-Dajjal is one-eyed whereas Allah is not."
Hadith - Bukhari 9.504, Narrated Abdullah
Ad-Dajjal was mentioned in the presence of the Prophet . The Prophet said, "Allah is not hidden from you; He is not one-eyed," and pointed with his hand towards his eye, adding, "While Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal is blind in the right eye and his eye looks like a protruding grape."
Hadith - Bukhari 9.245, Narrated Anas
The Prophet said, "No prophet was sent but that he warned his followers against the one-eyed liar (Ad-Dajjal). Beware! He is blind in one eye, and your Lord is not so, and there will be written between his (Ad-Dajjal's) eyes (the word) Kafir (i.e., disbeliever)." (This Hadith is also quoted by Abu Huraira and Ibn 'Abbas).
Hadith - Bukhari 9.237, Narrated Abu Huraira
Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established
(1) till two big groups fight each other whereupon there will be a great number of casualties on both sides and they will be following one and the same religious doctrine, when the Christians abandon foolish pride in the face of pure FACTS… Jesus is a prophet of Allah then what we have is the same doctrine calling to the worship of one ILah (Allah/God)…2billion Christians against 2billion Muslim is what is happening today…
(2) Till about thirty Dajjals (liars) appear, and each one of them will claim that he is Allah's Apostle, is this not the case today? Many people have come about claiming to be the Messiah Esa Ibn Mariam a.s. and these are referred to be the minor-ad dajjals’ or “minor liars”, but the Ad’Dajjal will be the “One Eyed Zionist Jew”.
(3) Till the religious knowledge is taken away (by the death of religious scholars) is this not the case today?
(4) Earthquakes will increase in number, is this not the case today?
(5) Time will pass quickly; is this not the case today?
(6) Afflictions will appear, is this not the case today?
(7) Al-Harj, (i.e., killing) will increase, is this not the case today?
(8) till wealth will be in abundance--so abundant that a wealthy person will worry lest nobody should accept his Zakat (charity), and whenever he will present it to someone, that person (to whom it will be offered) will say, 'I am not in need of it,' Scholars said this took place during the Caliph of ‘Uthman Ibn Afan r.a (3rd generation after the death of the prophet) when the Muslims had so much wealth that the zakat (charity from everyone’s wealth 2.5.% to distribute to the poor) was rejected because wealth had spread to everyone…
(9) Till the people compete with one another in constructing high buildings, is this not the case today? Look at Dubai…
(10) Till a man when passing by a grave of someone will say, 'Would that I was in his place,' is this not the case today? Hasn’t the suicide rate increased dramatically in western countries?
(11) And till the sun rises from the West.
So when the sun will rise and the people will see it (rising from the West) they will all believe (embrace Islam) but that will be the time when: (As Allah said,) 'No good will it do to a soul to believe then, if it believed not before, nor earned good (by deeds of righteousness) through its Faith.' (6.158) And the Hour will be established while two men spreading a garment in front of them but they will not be able to sell it, nor fold it up; and the Hour will be established when a man has milked his she-camel and has taken away the milk but he will not be able to drink it; and the Hour will be established before a man repairing a tank (for his livestock) is able to water (his animals) in it; and the Hour will be established when a person has raised a morsel (of food) to his mouth but will not be able to eat it."
Hadith - Bukhari 9.245, Narrated Abu Said
One day Allah's Apostle narrated to us a long narration about Ad-Dajjal and among the things he narrated to us, was: "Ad-Dajjal will come, and he will be forbidden to enter the mountain passes of Medina. He will encamp in one of the salt areas neighboring Medina and there will appear to him a man who will be the best or one of the best of the people. He will say 'I testify that you are Ad-Dajjal whose story Allah's Apostle has told us.' Ad-Dajjal will say (to his audience), 'Look, if I kill this man and then give him life, will you have any doubt about my claim?' They will reply, 'No,' Then Ad-Dajjal will kill that man and then will make him alive. The man will say, 'By Allah, now I recognize you more than ever!' Ad-Dajjal will then try to kill him (again) but he will not be given the power to do so."
Hadith - Bukhari 9.247, Narrated Huraira
Allah's Apostle said, "There are angels at the mountain passes of Medina (so that) neither plague nor Ad-Dajjal can enter it.
Many strong ahadith seem to be repeated at times and it’s only because there was more than one companion of the prophet who heard him say what he said…
But I really would like you to consider reading the ahadith on your own; you would be shocked to the detail of all the prophecies made, the minor signs to the end of time (which have ALL come to pass) and the 10 Major signs which we are now on the cusp of taking place. WW3, Armageddon; prophesied by the prophet s.a.w said that it would in fact begin with Iraq and be a series of small wars until it reaches the big War. Iraq took place years ago now with no close to war to this day, and since then we have seen constant wars, this is where we are today…In addition to the published wars America and her partners are involved directly or by influence in many smaller wars taking place in the Philippines, Cashmere, Malaysia, Mali, Sudan, Kenya, Somalia, Yemen, Libya where Muslim populations are being demonized in the media and falsely accused for themselves being attacked for being Muslim by mobs within their own lands. There is a worldwide war on Islam not terror although they would have you believe that because the television is very convincing to you. They know you don’t read, and they know how to provoke the emotions of a people to selfish, nationalistic views but you have to know there is another side to the story being told. There are nearly 2 billion Muslims on the planet and so the propaganda to discredit and falsely accuse in the name of terrorism is a lie. America/Israel backing the propaganda; insight other co-operating countries with Muslim populations to alienate & subject them by any means. Israel is plotting to provoke Iran which will definitely provoke WW3…In the meantime everything is taking place to position for war. China is unloading the dollars she holds in her own arms race, foreign aid, and naval maneuvering in South China Sea/South Pacific; The West has influenced many countries formerly part of the Soviet Union to join the European Union most recently the activity in Ukraine all being done to isolate Russia…Always before the World Wars there’s economic warfare. World Wars change dominant influence….Just in case you forgot; WW1 made Britain world dominant, WW2 made America dominant, and WW3 will make Israel the dominant state and this is the motivation of Israel to not make any deals with Palestine or Iran. This is the ushering in of the Anti-Christ to take his place in Israel (Zionist leadership).
Remember Albert Pike and the book he wrote outlining the events to bring about the final war, WW3? Well, this is the aim of the Zionist movement in the readying the world for the arrival of the Dajjal. The Jews, not all of them have long forgotten the Torah and have since their days in Babylon where they were enslaved under King Nebunakanesar (Bukhtenasser in Arabic) and cut off from the teachings of the Torah, they wrote the Talmud in Babylon. (70 Jewish Rabbi’s) (http://www.sacred-texts.com/jud/talmud.htm) (“The Babylonian Talmud”, translated by Michael Rodkinson 1918 some criticism about the writer, but would you expect anything else when writing about the Jews?)
The Zionist government has also been digging under the Mosque Aqsa for archaeological finds or relics’ of the past of which most were gathered after the death of Solomon a.s. and during the years of crusade where the Knights Templar are said to have begun the deviation from Christianity’s’ true teaching and begun to take the Jewish magic of the Kabbalah, and that learned in the days of Babylon.
Masjid Al-Aqsa was built by Yacub A.S. (Jacob Ibn Isaac Ibn Ibrahim) and was the second house of worship built for Allah on Earth 40years after the first House the Kaaba located in Mecca, Saudi Arabia who his Grand Father Ibrahim a.s with son Isma’il a.s built… (When Abraham took Hajjar r.a, his wife Sarah’s servant, to the barren land with his first child Isma’il that place was the exact place the city of Mecca now is. Nothing was there but Hajjar and Isma’il a.s., worried of Starvation and thirst Allah provided a spring to Hajjar & Isma’il a.s. that if she had not enclosed it with earth out of fear of losing it trying to puddle and collect as much as she could, the prophet Muhammad s.a.w. said Allah would have allowed it to become a mighty river…this water today is known as Zam Zam and until this day the well provides drink to those who attend the hajj. There are also miraculous characteristics about the water that I leave up to you to research…
The water now springing to the surface constantly, Bedouins in the dessert have learned to be attentive to were birds land because there will be water oasis. So, this brought the Bedouins tribes and the slow population of the city began. Called Bakka in those days (and this city name is in the Bible as well as Yathrib which is Medina-Ul-Nabi the city of the prophet or Medina in short)) it is the house Ibrahim was ordered to build after the test of sacrificing his son Isma’il. The hajj was first pronounced by Ibrahim A.S. to all people and this is why mecca became a major trading post from the people from all over the known world meeting there during the hajj season. This ritual and story is repeated every year during the Hajj from Ibrahim until now…
Most people don’t realize when they read the Bible the Ancient names of Countries and cities. When Moses crossed the Red Sea he entered what is today Saudi Arabia where the Arab people then were idol worshipers and this idol worship influenced the Samiri amongst the people of Moses to build a golden calf to worship after being lead out of Egypt by Allah. Actually some scholars have said that the actual crossing of Moses and his people took place where the Red Sea narrows, and they crossed into what is today Yemen and then traveled North along the coast of Saudi Arabia where they would pass through the regions of Mecca then a land of Idol worship & Medina. Sinai is on the Border of Saudi Arabia and the land bridge of Egypt to Saudi Arabia and south border of Israel; so their wondering in the desert of 40yrs and Moses’ Sinai visit are all relevant to this area…
Historical Country Names:
· Abyssinia & Cush today is called Ethiopia
The Ethiopian Empire spans a geographical area of today Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Djibouti,and included parts of Northern Somalia, Southern Egypt, Eastern Sudan, Yemen and Western Saudi Arabia. Abyssinia was an empire that existed for more than 800 years, from circa 1137 (beginning of Zagwe Dynasty) until 1974 when the Ethiopian monarchy was overthrown in a coup d'etat. The Emperor who was over-thrown was Hallie Selassie I the first…His name prior to the thrown was Ras Tafari “Ras”meaning prince and his Name Tafari…Said to be a direct descendant of the Sabaians(of Yemen who spread to Ethiopia) whom the Queen of Sheba comes from; his name gives recognition to the Religious group Rastafarians whom is attributed to Marcus Garvey and popularized by Bob Marley…
Islam and Saba as well as Abyssinia all have very close ties…the migrants from mecca fleeing percussion from the idol worshipping tribes of mecca, on the Prophet Muhammad’s s.a.w. orders they went to Abyssinia to seek refuge with the Christian King Negasshi r.a…When a famous companion of the Prophet s.a.w. read Surah Mariam from the Quran to him he accepted the message of Islam the new prophet and his revelation. The Story of Saba the land of Sheba is told a little later with The Story of Solomon a.s….

The Rock (middle Picture), that is now housed in the Mosque called the “The Dome of the Rock”(first picture), is the special place of ascension and miraculous events…Both Aqsa and the Rock where part of the same palace under Sulaiman a.s. who extended and expanded the previous house of worship of Yacub a.s.. After Esa Ibn Mariam a.s. and the start of Roman occupation in the holy land, the proxy king Herod, wars, and crusades the original palace is no longer, only the west wall remains(third picture)…
The greatest trick the devil (Satan) ever played on humanity was to fool everyone into the belief that he didn’t exist…Even in previous generations who had prophets walking amongst them he was able to play on the doubt people had. Satan has all the time in the world, and for him we have to realize he knows the creator, he used to be an Abdullah (slave of Allah, which means an obedient worshiper & acknowledger of the creator). Shaitan had very good characteristics before his decision to disobey the command of Allah, and now he uses those same characteristics for getting human beings to follow him by his subtle whispers to do immoral and prohibited things. The evil human beings do is either from three ways:
1) The foremost thing Shaitan tries to make someone do is Kufr (disbelief) and if not kufr then Shirk (associate partners to Allah). Disbelief is self-explanatory and either a person believes or they don’t so if this doesn’t work he puts into action the other half of this Great sin by getting the person to associate partners to Allah. Now, this is not as simple as it sounds…Partners here doesn’t imply that its only people, but this association of partners applies to anything that is worshipped WITH or IN PLACE of the creator.
For Example:
The most Common and infamous associations are the worship of created things. These are but not limited to: Jesus Ibn Mariam a.s. who Is The Messiah & Messenger/Prophet of Allah; His mission having an intercession/break if you will meaning the fulfillment of his message to Banu Israel (children of Israel) is complete, but his mission as Messiah is yet to come with his return in killing the Ad Dajjal (The one eyed liar who will call himself Jesus the prophet and later promote himself to be Rabukum (Your Lord God) before the True Esa Ibn Mariam a.s. returns).
His Mother the Blessed Virgin Mary (Mariam Bint Imran a.s.) who was give the news of this great blessing of the messiah to be called Esa Ibn Mariam a.s. by Jabril a.s. (Arch Angel Gabriel, gods messenger (also called the holy spirit) deliverer of revelation to the prophets).
Satan himself, Pagan Gods (Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, Thor, etc.), Egyptian Pharaoh, Animals like the Cow, Elephant, Big Cats, Bears, Birds, Trees, Rivers, Idols of all sorts (sculptures/statues) Moon, Sun, Stars and Fire…and today Money. All of this worship to created things is not accepted and Allah has warned people of doing such an act in all his revelation…the first two of the ten commandments:
The Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:2-17 NKJV)
1) “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me.
2) “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My Commandments.
When this was presented to Musa a.s. people were inclined to making idols while in the wilderness which we have established this to be modern day Saudi Arabia, and so it is addressed in the commandments. Taken literal or metaphorically these laws apply to the creation of anything in the place of the ONE true God.
The human mind is unable to comprehend the unseen in reality and live upon the earth. This is the case of Moses’ fainting atop Mount Sinai when he asked to see Allah. He Ta’ala (the most high) said, “NO ONE CAN SEE ME AND LIVE” and so he told Musa to look upon the mountain and it shook so violently and fell to dust when Allah expose a very small portion of himself to it. Man sees his Lord when he leaves this world in death…not before!
This can be no clearer to anyone who reads it, except to one with arrogance & ignorance upon the state in which he or she is because of what society or fathers/mothers have passed on, which God also says about visiting the iniquity of the 3rd and 4th generations…Someone might say, it says nothing about a person, with the implication of Jesus. I would then say to you is not his mother Mariam bint Imran & Hannah A.S. (daughter of Imran a prophet and Hannah) one of God’s created people? Yessss, she was…All people are from the lineage of Adam/Eve (Banu Adam) and then Nuh a.s (Noah) who is also called the 2nd Adam because it was he and his followers who re-populated the world after the Great Flood killed everyone and everything on the earth except for whom was aboard the Ark. Created by the word of God blown upon Mariam miraculously to conceive Esa Ibn Mariam a.s., be and he was…Human being born of another human being, called son of Man (meaning being born of mankind). One similitude that should be taken into account about Esa Ibn Mariam a.s is he was born of no Father, and Eve was born of no women involvement since she was created from man (the rib of Adam), and finally Adam who had no male or female involvement which is harder still so why are they not taken in worship from both coming to be by the will & design of the creator?
So that leaves only ignorance (and by that I mean lack of genuine knowledge, not name calling) as an excuse and that is quickly solved when one reads & researches the truth for themselves with a seeking, wanting heart; also when reading scripture by understanding who is speaking, who is being spoken too and the context of ALL of what is being said and not verse(s) in isolation. Interesting side bar is take a look at this clip and see what Jews think when asked about Esa ibn Mariam a.s. and Mariam a.s. herself…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_qLq74OmEY.
But let’s take a moment to go further into the devils trick of worshipping the creation…I have already mentioned in brief “The Council of Nicea” and hoped that you would follow up on that very important event that took place which altered & made literally what Christianity is today…
In addition, I now wish to give you another source that is borrowed into to the Christianity tradition that dates back to ancient Egypt.
Yes, the story of Horus 1,000 years before Esa Ibn Mariam a.s. was born. The story put behind Jesus today, Xmas, 3 kings, manger are all borrowed from this deity of ancient Egypt. Look at the similarities:
1. Both were conceived of a virgin. (but we know the virgin birth of Esa ibn Mairam is true)
2. Both were the "only begotten son" of a god (either Osiris or Yahweh)
3.Horus's mother was Meri, Jesus's mother was Mary.
4. Horus’s foster father was called Jo-Seph, and Jesus's foster father was Joseph.
5. Both foster fathers were of royal descent.
6. Both were born in a cave (although sometimes Jesus is said to have been born in a stable).
7. Both had their coming announced to their mother by an angel.
Horus; birth was heralded by the star Sirius (the morning star). Jesus had his birth heralded by a star in the East (the sun rises in the East).
8. Ancient Egyptians celebrated the birth of Horus on December 21 (the Winter Solstice). Modern Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus on December 25.
9. Both births were announced by angels (this si nto the same as number 7).
10. Both had shepherds witnessing the birth.
11. Horus was visited at birth by "three solar deities" and Jesus was visited by "three wise men".
12. After the birth of Horus, Herut tried to have Horus murdered. After the birth of Jesus, Herod tried to have Jesus murdered.
13. To hide from Herut, the god that tells Isis, "Come, thou goddess Isis, hide thyself with thy child." To hide from Herod, an angel tells Joseph to "arise and take the young child and his mother and flee into Egypt."
14. When Horus came of age, he had a special ritual where his eye was restored. When Jesus (and other Jews) comes of age, they have a special ritual called a Bar Mitzvah.
15. Both Horus and Jesus were 12 at this coming-of-age ritual.
Neither have any official recorded life histories between the ages of 12 and 30.
16. Horus was baptized in the river Eridanus. Jesus was baptized in the river Jordan.
17. Both were baptized at age 30.
18. Horus was baptized by Anup the Baptizer. Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist.
19. Both Anup and John were later beheaded.
20. Horus was taken from the desert of Amenta up a high mountain to be tempted by his arch-rival Set. Jesus was taken from the desert in Palestine up a high mountain to be tempted by his arch-rival Satan.
21. Both Horus and Jesus successfully resist this temptation.
22. Both have 12 disciples.
23. Both walked on water, cast out demons, healed the sick and restored sight to the blind.
24. Horus "stilled the sea by his power." Jesus commanded the sea to be still by saying, "Peace, be still."
25. Horus raised his dead father (Osiris) from the grave. Jesus raised Lazarus from the grave. (Note the similarity in names when you say them out loud. Further, Osiris was also known as Asar, which is El-Asar in Hebrew, which is El-Asarus in Latin.)
26. Osiris was raised in the town of Anu. Lazarus was raised in Bethanu (literally, "house of Anu").
27. Both gods delivered a Sermon on the Mount.
28. Both were crucified.
29. Both were crucified next to two thieves.
30. Both were buried in a tomb.
31. Horus was sent to Hell and resurrected in 3 days. Jesus was sent to Hell and came back "three days" later (although Friday night to Sunday morning is hardly three days).
32. Both had their resurrection announced by women.
33. Both are supposed to return for a 1000-year reign.
34. Horus is known as KRST, the anointed one. Jesus was known as the Christ (which means "anointed one").
35. Both Jesus and Horus have been called the good shepherd, the Lamb of God, the bread of life, the son of man, the Word, the fisher, and the winnower.
36. Both are associated with the zodiac sign of Pisces (the fish).
37. Both are associated with the symbols of the fish, the beetle, the vine, and the shepherd's crook.
38. Horus was born in Anu ("the place of bread") and Jesus was born in Bethlehem ("the house of bread").
39."The infant Horus was carried out of Egypt to escape the wrath of Typhon. The infant Jesus was carried into Egypt to escape the wrath of Herod. Concerning the infant Jesus, the New Testament states the following prophecy: 'Out of Egypt have I called my son.'"
40. Both were transfigured on the mount.
41. The catacombs of Rome have pictures of the infant Horus being held by his mother, not unlike the modern-day images of "Madonna and Child."
Noted English author C. W. King says that both Isis and Mary are called "Immaculate".
42. Horus says: "Osiris, I am your son, come to glorify your soul, and to give you even more power." And Jesus says: "Now is the Son of Man glorified and God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in him, God will glorify the Son in himself, and will glorify him at once."
Horus was identified with the Tau (cross).
Coincidence??? Oh how you might want to dismiss it as such…but 1000yr prior to Christ and we find ourselves faced with hard facts adapted into the modern story. Way too many accurate similarities; we know the story of Esa ibn Marian a.s. the blessed prophet of Allah to be true of his birth, and his miracles by Allah’s permission to convince the people that he was a Prophet. (Another side bar, all prophets were given miracles to perform upon their people to convince them of the prophet hood placed upon them. The miracles they performed were of that of the times they lived. With Musa the people were heavily taken by magic that is why his miracles disproved the magic of the magicians by his staff (a live snake) ate the rope tricks opposing him. With Esa ibn Mariam a.s. medicine and medicinal methods of healing were on the rise and thus his miracles of healing the blind, lame, deaf, leprous, and even bringing the dead back were all to convince the people.
But there is more, the Winter & Spring solstice mark periods of the year that pagan people who worshiped the sun took notice of along with the alignment of stars etc. The Great pyramids and in alignment with Orion’s belt for example. The story of the 3 kings who followed the brightest star in the sky to which the baby Jesus was to be found is actually the solstice that takes place on December 21st and after three nights marks the place “Rising of the Sun” on December 25th but gives contribute to “the resurrection of the SON” after the 3 day.
Figure 21 3 kings point to the brightest star which points to the direction of the rising sun 25 December
What occurs in the night sky on the on December 22nd, 23rd, & 24th is the Southern Cross as shown in the picture below. This should now provide you with the symbolisms borrowed into the identifying the faith.
Figure 22 Constellation of Southern Cross on 22, 23 and 24 December
You HAVE TO RESEARCH all of this yourself…you owe it yourself, your families, those whom you try to pass on the faith to know the whole truth and not to just except something that has long been hijacked from the mythology and astrology of ancient Egypt. A link has been provided in the work cited page, so you can study the Theosophy in relation to the Christian Story. When you understand this you will also understand why the Council of Nicaea took place when the Roman Emperor adapted the religion to the empire…to appease everyone in the empire the mythologies and astronomy had to be incorporated into the original doctrine. This is the just of what took place and later in the 15th century the split of the church lead by Martin Luther and the capital of Christendom split one in Rome (which the pope now heads in the Vatican) and that which remained in Constantinople referred to as the Byzantine Empire (today Istanbul, Turkey).
Struggling to hold the faith together, today you see the Christian faith especially in Europe has diminished to a fading memory of a generation ago who were unlike their children raised in blind following. With the changes to the middle class, the social & economic orders the younger generations growing up influenced now by everything under the sun, ASK QUESTIONS… and when those questions can’t be answered they turn to other sources…The evidences have always been with us, but frequently distracted or just given into the keeping harmony with the majority people choose as they do…
Today digging into the works of old scientist like Sir Isaac Newton works in science are uncovering some secrets that were overlooked by many during his time. Many of his old manuscripts and records bought by the economist John Maynard Keynes, in 1936 are today being studied. Researchers have found that Newton owned more than 30 bibles, and that he wrote more about religious based works than all his other mathematical and alchemy works combined. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdmhPfGo3fE. In fact, at one period of time while attending Cambridge University in Britain he was ordered to enroll into the clergy which he himself opposed. The main reason for his opposition was due to the fact of the Trinity concept of Jesus and God being one…he opposed the fact and went on to support his opposition because of scientific experiments that brought truth to the orbits of the planets around the sun. In addition to orbiting the sun he was also able to understand that the forces of gravity are stronger on objects closest the sun, and thus discovered the elliptical orbiting patterns of the planets debunking the spherical orbital paths thought of by predecessors like Galileo and the likes. He then went on to state the presence of an all intelligent force or being present in all manners of motion and action throughout the Universe rebutting the theory of a machine like construct of the Universe all working in harmony something along the order of the internal workings of a clock... Instead everything was working independently, and that the motions were the involvement of forces or a will applied to those individual bodies. The cannon ball theory is the most prominent example: Assuming a cannibal atop a high mountain shoots a cannon ball at low velocity the cannon ball upon leaving the cannon would be exposed to gravity which would act on the ball pulling it to the ground fairly quickly. But when fired at higher and higher velocities that same ball would travel further and further before falling to the ground….Until such a velocity is reached that the ball is set into orbit, which it would remain for infinite…This principle is applied today in sending satellites and rockets into space.

So, science today is re-examining the works of pioneering researchers and scientist of the past it is beginning to uncover the direct relationships between science and religion…Something that the bible is in contradiction with, but everything that the Quran explains…Religion should explain Science since Allah/God is the source. The Quran does this well… (http://www.miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_index.html).
Many references exist in the Quran about the differences in nature between stars, as generating light, and planets, as reflecting light.
Surah 25, Ayah 61 "Blessed is He who made constellations in the skies, and placed therein a lamp, and a moon giving light."
Surah 71, Ayah 16 "And (He) made the moon a light in their midst, and made the sun as a (glorious) lamp."
The Quran makes clear a distinction between the sun and the moon. The sun is referred to in many verses as a lamp, which is a device that generates light, heat, and radiation. The Quranic choice of the word "lamp" is an incredibly accurate representation of the sun, regardless of the difference in the light producing process. The moon is referred to as an object in the sky that is lighted up (a light), but it does not generate light by itself.
Newton shocked the scientific world on 19 February 1672 with the publication, in the Royal Society's journal Philosophical Transactions, of his 'New Theory about Light and Colors'. Here he performs a series of experiments that would prove White Light is in fact the embodiment of all colors of light. Using a prism he shoots sunlight through it to expose all the individual colors of our rainbow…to confirm that white light was in fact the source of all colors he then tries to pass those individual colors through prisms of their own which to his surprise remained the same on exit; thus confirming the sun is the source of all colors and light as we know it…
In a reference to the planets, Allah says:
Surah 24, Ayah 35 "Allah is the Light of heavens and the earth. The parable of His Light is as if there were a niche and within it a lamp. The lamp enclosed in glass: the glass as it were a brilliant star (planet)"
The actual Arabic word in the above Ayah is planet; however the English translation refers to the planet as star. The glass by itself does not shine. But when the light comes into it, it reflects the light and shines like a brilliant star. This glorious parable of the Light of Allah contains layer upon layer of transcendent truth of spiritual mysteries. No statements can do adequate justice to its full meaning. The physical light is but a reflection of the true Light in the world of Reality and that true Light is Allah. We can only think of Allah in terms of our own phenomenal experience, and the phenomenal world; light is the purest thing we know.
Surah Noor ayah 35 اللَّهُ نُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ مَثَلُ نُورِهِ كَمِشْكَاةٍ فِيهَا مِصْبَاحٌ الْمِصْبَاحُ فِي زُجَاجَةٍ الزُّجَاجَةُ كَأَنَّهَا كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّيٌّ يُوقَدُ مِن شَجَرَةٍ مُّبَارَكَةٍ زَيْتُونِةٍ لَّا شَرْقِيَّةٍ وَلَا غَرْبِيَّةٍ يَكَادُ زَيْتُهَا يُضِيءُ وَلَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْهُ نَارٌ نُّورٌ عَلَى نُورٍ يَهْدِي اللَّهُ لِنُورِهِ مَن يَشَاء وَيَضْرِبُ اللَّهُ الْأَمْثَالَ لِلنَّاسِ وَاللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ
God is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His light is, as it were, that of a niche containing a lamp; the lamp is [enclosed] in glass, the glass [shining] like a radiant star: [a lamp] lit from a blessed tree - an olive-tree that is neither of the east nor of the west the oil whereof [is so bright that it] would well-nigh give light [of itself] even though fire had not touched it: light upon light! God guides unto His light him that wills [to be guided]; and [to this end] God propounds parables unto men, since God [alone] has full knowledge of all things.
In the Arabic the word lamp is Misbah (also underlined in the above verse), this today is the modern Light Bulb…Before the electric light bulb there was that of the oil lamp which gives reverence to the olive tree in the verse for the oil of the olive was a source of fuel for lighting the lamp…So long before the actual invention of the light bulb its existence is mentioned in the Quran by the creator although it had yet to manifest itself centuries later an attributed to Thomas Edison…
اللَّهُ نُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ
"Allahu noorus samawate wal ard" "Allah is the Light of the heavens and earth"
The whole ayah (verse) consists of a few parts, the first part is one of Allah stating His position i.e. Allah is the light of the heavens and earth. In the Holy Quran "Samaa wate wal ard" "heavens and earth" is generally used to mean "universe" Thus the verse can also mean "Allah is the light of the universe".
Light here is used in the normal human usage, something that makes other things visible, "its dark turn the light on". Without light one cannot see in darkness. Very simple usage of words, yet extremely powerful in meaning, i.e. Allah is that light that removes Darkness in all its senses.
Also, Ignorance is darkness and knowledge is light. Allah is the source of all knowledge, and Knower of All things and the knowledge of reality and Guidance can only be obtained from Him. All guidance by way of Knowledge came from Him and that removed the darkness of misguidance.
Therefore the word Light is used for Allah in the absolute sense.
Equilibrium and Orbits
The equilibrium of the universe is referred to in the following short Ayat:
Surah 55, Ayah 5-7 "The sun and the moon follow courses (exactly) computed; and the star and the trees - both (alike) bow in adoration. And the Firmament has He raised high, and He has set up the Balance (of Justice)"
In the great mathematical universe, there are great mathematical laws that require calculations. We now understand that these Ayat refer to the laws discovered by Kepler and Newton. These laws bear witness to Allah’s Wisdom and also His favors to His creatures. We all benefit from the energy and light, the seasons, and the numerous changes in the tides and the atmosphere. Quranic commentators interpret the balance in the above Ayah as one of the following:
· Balance of Justice between humans.
· The heavens themselves are sustained by Divine equilibrium.
· The sun enters the Constellation Libra (the balance) at the middle of the zodiacal year.
Julian and Lunar Calendars
The Muslim calendar is based upon the moon, which revolves around the earth in periods of about 29 days. The Islamic calendar was established by the second Caliph Omar in 639 AD to begin with the new moon of the first Arabic month (Muharram) of the year in which the migration of Muhammad from Mecca to Medina took place. That first day was 16 June 622 of the Julian calendar.
Nearly fourteen centuries ago, the Quran was revealed to the Arabs in the deserts of the Arabian Peninsula, who were used to the lunar system. It was correct to address them in the only language they could understand and not to upset their habits. It is known how well versed men living in the desert are in the observation of the sky; they navigated according to the stars, and told time according to the motion of the sun and the moon. This was the simplest and the most reliable system available for them.
Most people are unaware of the perfect correlation between the Julian and the lunar calendar: 235 lunar months corresponds exactly to 19 Julian years of 365 1/4 days, (228 months). The length of our year of 365 days is not perfect because it has to be rectified every four years (with a leap year). With the lunar calendar, the same phenomena occur every 19 Julian years. The Quran refers to this relationship between the lunar and the Julian systems as follows:
Surah 18, Ayah 25 "So they stayed in their cave three hundred years and nine (more)"
The literal translation of the above Ayah replaces "and nine" by "increased by nine." This suggests that one has to be careful about each word or letter in the Quran. The latest calculation of the lunar month is 29.53059 days. Therefore, the lunar year is 12 x 29.53059 = 354.36708 days. This means that 300 Julian year (300x365.25= 109575 days) is equivalent to 309 lunar years (354.36708x309= 109499.43). This is a miraculous accuracy. Therefore the above Ayah can be explained as "So they stayed in their cave three hundred solar years, and increased by nine lunar years". This is just an amazing revelation from the Creator of time. Only Allah knows the exact time of any event in any reference of time.
In addition scientists have found the Golden Number, known as Phi, the Golden Ratio, Golden Section, Golden Proportion, Golden Mean or the Divine Proportion, and its mathematical cousin the Fibonacci sequence (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 …) which is the preceding two numbers make the next number in sequence. This ratio 1.68 shows up in everything in creation absolutely everything…because of this scientist have concluded that everything has a common creator who created everything… Phi Constant 1.618, superior design number of mathematics. The Creator has always used the very same number in numerous events in the universe; in our heart pulses, the aspect ratio of DNA spiral, in the special design of the universe called dodecahedron, in the leaf array rules of plants called phylotaxy, in the snow flake crystals, in the spiral structure of numerous galaxies. The Creator used the same number; the number of golden ratio which is 1.618.
It is determined that this ratio has been used for the design of various reputable architectural structures, even including Pyramids in Egypt. Famous astronomer Kepler defined this number as a great treasury. Numerous famous painters, engineers and architects, like Leonardo Da Vinci, have been using this ratio in their works of art for hundreds of years.
As a result of his 25 years long study, aesthetician Dr. Steven Mark out proves that each of human faces and bodies, created pursuant to this ratio, are completely beautiful. If the relative ratio is 1.618 for the components of any structure, then this form will be convenient to Golden Ratio, the perfect design.
The number of petals in a flower consistently follows the Fibonacci sequence. Famous examples include the lily, which has three petals, buttercups, which have five (pictured at left), the chicory's 21, the daisy's 34, and so on. Phi appears in petals on account of the ideal packing arrangement as selected by Darwinian processes; each petal is placed at 0.618034 per turn (out of a 360° circle) allowing for the best possible exposure to sunlight and other factors.
The Fibonacci sequence can also be seen in the way tree branches form or split. A main trunk will grow until it produces a branch, which creates two growth points. Then, one of the new stems branches into two, while the other one lies dormant. This pattern of branching is repeated for each of the new stems. A good example is the sneezewort. Root systems and even algae exhibit this pattern.
Not surprisingly, spiral galaxies also follow the familiar Fibonacci pattern. The Milky Way has several spiral arms, each of them a logarithmic spiral of about 12 degrees. As an interesting aside, spiral galaxies appear to defy Newtonian physics. As early as 1925, astronomers realized that, since the angular speed of rotation of the galactic disk varies with distance from the center, the radial arms should become curved as galaxies rotate. Subsequently, after a few rotations, spiral arms should start to wind around a galaxy. But they don't — hence the so-called winding problem. The stars on the outside, it would seem, move at a velocity higher than expected — a unique trait of the cosmos that helps preserve its shape.
Faces, both human and nonhuman, abound with examples of the Golden Ratio. The mouth and nose are each positioned at golden sections of the distance between the eyes and the bottom of the chin. Similar proportions can been seen from the side, and even the eye and ear itself (which follows along a spiral).
It's worth noting that every person's body is different, but that averages across populations tend towards phi. It has also been said that the more closely our proportions adhere to phi, the more "attractive" those traits are perceived. As an example, the most "beautiful" smiles are those in which central incisors are 1.618
Even our body’s exhibit proportions that is consistent with Fibonacci numbers. For example, the measurement from the navel to the floor and the top of the head to the navel is the golden ratio. Animal bodies exhibit similar tendencies, including dolphins (the eye, fins and tail all fall at Golden Sections), starfish, sand dollars, sea urchins, ants, and honey bees.
There is one unique verse in Qur'an that includes the word Mecca and an expression that mentions clear evidences within the city which will grant faith to humanity. The relation between the City of Mecca and the Golden Ratio is clearly engraved in Surah Al- Imran (chapter of Quran) 96th verse. The total number of letters of this verse is 47. Calculating the golden ratio of total letters, they find out that the word of Mecca is implied; 47 / 1,618 = 29.0. There are 29 letters from the beginning of the verse till the word, Mecca just as in the world map. If only one single word or letter was missing, this ratio could never been constituted. Without pushing the limits, they have conducted the very same process that was conducted on world map and witnessed the glorious coherence of number of letters that reveals the relation of Mecca and Golden Ratio. Discoveries regarding the relation between Golden Ratio, Mecca, Kaaba and Qur'an have been increasing day by day. In the figure, it is indicated that measurements by golden ratio compass that is also known as Leonardo compass, prove that Mecca city is located on the Golden Ratio Point of Arabia while Kaaba is located on the Golden Ratio of Mecca City. According to probability calculations, all these proofs cannot be incidental.
2). If the person can’t be driven to disbelief or to the worship of created things he Shaitan whispers to the person’s heart, and the beautification of the prohibited and ease to committing the wrong things are put before us…One example would obviously be that of fornication (un-wed sexual relations). I mention this because we live in an age of hyper-sexual age and it’s the most natural yet strongest attraction upon mankind. Think about how strong the crushes you had on someone, or how beautiful that person appeared to you to the point that nothing or no one could change your mind about them. Then one day you find that the circumstances have afforded you some time alone with this person. The passion & lust felt are very intense blocking all reasoning and sane thought, so compelled to act upon the circumstances many fall into this trap and afterwards feel the shame. This physical temptation traps the old & young boundless to age…people of all ages are seduced. That’s because whenever two are alone (male & female) shaitan is the 3rd seducing right up until we act upon it and then he leaves which is the fade of the passion/lust of the moment. This is why it is said body temperature increases etc. because of his presence. There’s a deeper understanding to this, God willing will be touched upon later. There are a variety of things we have all done, that we have felt regret after. I don’t think any human being upon the earth is without feeling this and because it happens people seek forgives not from the creator but from confession to men or intermediaries…this falsehood leads people to think that forgiveness is inevitable in this way by buying it or by the a man telling you he will intercede on your behalf who is also not without sin of his own…This was one of the reasons to the break of the Christian church. Read the following comment:
Although reformers had many complaints about the Catholic Church of the 16th century, the practice of selling "indulgences" raised the most opposition. An indulgence was a payment to the Catholic Church that purchased an exemption from punishment (penance) for some types of sins. You could not get an indulgence to excuse a murder, but you could get one to excuse many lesser sins, such as thinking lustful thoughts about someone who was not your spouse. The customers for indulgences were Catholic believers who feared that if one of their sins went unnoticed or unconfessed, they would spend extra time in purgatory before reaching heaven or worse, wind up in hell for failing to repent.
The sale of indulgences was a by-product of the Crusades in the 12th and 13th centuries. Because they risked dying without the benefit of a priest to perform the appropriate ceremonies, Crusaders were promised immediate salvation if they died while fighting to "liberate" the Christian holy city at Jerusalem. Church leaders justified this by arguing that good works earned salvation, and making Jerusalem accessible to Christians was an example of a good work. Over time, Church leaders decided that paying money to support good works was just as good as performing good works, and it evened things up for people who were physically incapable of fighting a Crusade. Over several centuries, the practice expanded, and Church leaders justified it by arguing that they had inherited an unlimited amount of good works from Jesus, and the credit for these good works could be sold to believers in the form of indulgences. In other words, indulgences functioned like "confession insurance" against eternal damnation because, if you purchased an indulgence, then you wouldn't go to hell if you died suddenly or forgot to confess something.
In later years, the sale of indulgences spread to include forgiveness for the sins of people who were already dead. That is evident in this passage from a sermon by John Tetzel, the monk who sold indulgences in Germany and inspired Martin Luther's protest in 1517.
Read, “Against the Sale of Indulgences”, by Martin Luther by Jim Jones, West Chester University of Pennsylvania (c.2012) http://courses.wcupa.edu/jones/his101/web/37luther.htm.
3) A person is so used to obeying their desires so shaitan tries getting you to fall deeper & deeper by chasing desires, from this habits are grown, and eventually the wrong things begin to appear to us as being ok especially when we believe that we aren’t hurting anyone or have partnership in do the wrong things…This is also referred to as an inverting of the heart; when the person now takes the wrong to be correct and the correct to be wrong. Personal philosophies and slogans to live by become testament and thus people do whatever they wish employing these philosophies of the age… This is dangerous because this person has no conscious to what they are doing and sees prohibited things through hypnotic addiction. Addiction robs us of choice…you are now obedient to the preservation of the addiction and its fulfillment. Blind following and enabled support in doing wrong all contribute to this mindset. This is why a lot of cultures including the system of Islam subdue society in the way of public sin and committing vulgar things in public. Take the dress of woman for example. When woman are encourage to dress less showing their shapes and adornment openly the paradigm is limitless…what this means is woman will always be pushed to remove more and more, fashion designs will then cater to the concept, and men will become more and more vicious in power struggles in order to attract to themselves from being in a constant state of arousal. Society living constantly in a drunken lustful state…Men will then look at woman from a lust fulfilling perspective and woman will see the material benefit and use their adornment to get what they want. Both are being rob of the natural order that should be between them. Marriages based on looks and sex take place or material wealth, and with time decay into hateful divorces and bitterness between people & the sexes. Sexuality being turned on its head from this redundant battle woman look towards women for comfort, and men do the same when the appetite for women is unfulfilling anymore. Lust itself is unfulfilling and so to live by it is foolish…
The Television in my opinion has been the #1 therapist in doping the mass to sleep. In nature like: lying, cheating, violence, sex, drugs, smoking, materialism, bad language, etc. Other sins are less noticeable but nonetheless all small things will eventually add up. When we start fires we don’t begin by lighting the larger logs to the fire first; instead you gather some tender which will ignite quickly and you place it under the logs until the fire catches them (in an authentic hadith of our Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. (narration), that there was a group of people who went to the desert where they wanted to make a fire. Each of them found little pieces of wood, which they collected together, and thus they were able to make the fire. The Prophet ﷺ said that this is how minor sins work. They keep throwing the minor sin on the pile until it becomes a major sin. That’s why the scholars said that if someone persists in committing a minor sin it will become a major sin over time).
Thus we begin to see the evil done in the land and on sea; everywhere man takes himself, without being aware of the truth we are falling subject to Shaitan every day, and some of us most of the time in a day.
Since the beginning of time the jealously of Shaitan (Satan) towards our father Adam and Mother Ha’wah (eve) has been to cause chaos and take mankind out of the blissful state of obedience to our creator and thus take as many human beings to the eternal punishment of hell with him. His project of destruction has LONG, LONG been underway; but with the separation of church and state, the selling of indulges, idols, and worship of created things as gods man has lost sight of the truth and rightfully punished with Satan’s successes in his agenda. We find a way to complicate everything by focusing on our differences, philosophies, lack of personal responsibility to be knowledgeable and to actively participate in keeping the truth in the forefront. Today people don’t even know the truth when they see it or hear it, and some arrogantly will just turn away because they are so engrossed in serving themselves. We mankind, can only fight an enemy like Shaitan by understanding who he is, what he is, and more importantly who he is not. Let’s begin with who he is not…Non-Muslims believe to understand that Shaitan is an Angel, who created by the creator was once beautiful & very good in his obedience to the creator until that defining moment in which he was cursed and cast out to the lowest abode then void of anything, the earth. I would like to say something not in speculation but by tons and tons of reading…and observance…All of the false stories embody something of the truth at its core conception!!! Everything man does to create something he borrows from something that is the source. In the creation of Cars, Movies, fashion, you don’t see large gaps of deviance from one to the other and very little originality and the same is true even in religion…Allah Al-Khaliq (the creator) is the only one who can create from nothing and being the case you see why mankind never creates but instead re-creates or finds what has been put here for us already by the one who knows all…
Shaitan is NOT an Angel #1. Angels are amongst the creation of Allah whom they have not chosen for themselves the ability of “free will”. They are instead only given instructions and they carry those instructions out without disobedience. Angels are also created of light, but have by the permission of the creator appeared unto man in human form. Why? Allahu Alim (Allah knows best), but in the case of Jabril a.s. through the blessed mouth of Nabi Muhammad s.a.w said that Jabril a.s. is so Huge that his feet are on the lowest earth and his head is in the heavens and his wings (600) are outstretched from the east and west he is seen in every part of the horizon. In seeing this he s.a.w fell unconscious…Being the case just maybe it’s appropriate for them to take human form to carry out Allah’s commands with the Prophets without scaring them. Also was the case when Jabril a.s appeared to Mariam a.s. as a man to inform her of the birth to be the Messiah Esa Ibn Mariam a.s; Again from the authentic ahadith (speech) from Muhammad s.a.w from his companions (suhabbah r.a) who recorded every moment of Muhammad in prophet hood (READ “The Sealed Nectar”, biography of Muhammad s.a.w. https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Sealed-Nectar-Biography-of-Prophet-Muhammad-saw/180435858674656), like that of the disciples of Esa Ibn Mariam a.s and other prophets as well all had followers whom passed the revelations and saying that were collected by oral tradition, pictures (hieroglyphs) and then later by written record.
Shaitan too has been known to take the shape of human beings and he has also taken possession of people by the permission of Allah. The only protection from him and his army is to believe in the one Allah without partnership and to refrain from the prohibited things by remaining pure the influences of Satan are less effective... Shaitan as I said is not an angel but he is a Jinn…A what you say? Jinn this is the name of his created species. The jinn are created from a smokeless fire which I mentioned the heat of passion when the male and female are alone; they are of different physical abilities i.e. some have the gift of flight, large, small etc. They have also been called: demons, ghost, leapracons, reptilians, aliens and all sorts of folklore. Like humans in our differences although none of us can fly…I wish!!! From Jinn you get the word Jinni…Do you know or remember the stories of Aladdin and the Genie in the bottle or Lamp? They rub the lamp and the Genie comes out in a smoke like manner granting the 3 wishes of the requestor…Well as I have stated before man recreates and the story of the Genie comes from the creation of the Jinn. Movie makers and producers also know the ignorance’s of people not reading and use all sources (the miraculous sayings and visions given to the prophet) to bring ideas to the screen…The recent movies of Matrix with the shape shifting twins who become transparent..
, and Avatar both had relevant association of ahadith from Prophet Muhammad s.a.w…
Hadith - Sahih Bukhari 4:474, Narrated Anas bin Malik , see also Bukhari 6:403, Quran 56:30
The Prophet said, "There is a tree in Paradise (which is so big and huge that) if a rider travels in its shade for one hundred years, he would not be able to cross it."
Other Movies have direct correlation to that of the Qur’an and Sunnah of the Prophet of which even architecture has striking resemblance in Dubai… (The Berg Tower to that of the tower of evil in The Lord of the Rings)…
Angels from light, Jinn from smokeless fire, and Insan (human beings) from clay…Jinn live for thousands of years, Shaitan himself regarded the leader of his species was awarded a position amongst the angels but not of their likeness (meaning NOT being one of them). This is where the term comes from when someone is good we often call them “an Angel” but this doesn’t have any literal implication. On the creation of Man, Satan was the first being to have prejudice refusing to bow to Adam in respect at the command of the creator with all other creation. He thinking of his source of creation “smokeless fire” as being greater than what man was created from “clay & earth”, he refused and thus the story begins.
Jinn, with men both have freedom of choice and we both inhabit the lowest creation of Allah (sammawat dunya or the Universe of Earth). They are unseen to us for the most part, however some have direct contact with them, some have taken them into worship, some seek aide from them, and others see their shadows and formations in abandoned homes or walking through our own homes. Now, the jinn are of such just like man those who follow the creator and those who don’t and have thus taken Iblis (Satan, his name) as their god in disobedience to the creator. Employing is own kind, those who follow him from mankind help in the destruction and misleading of man. Kids find it funny to perform séances with the we gee board, fortune tellers, mediums, the highest Magicians all get help from these beings but at the price of worship to them (selling of one’s soul). Watch a brief clip of Famous Musician Bob Dylan in an Interview with Ed Bradley admitting to what I have just explained to you here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqvvOD4bdRs. Musicians, actresses, athletes and politicians all seek the aid or the Jinn in becoming famous & rich etc. But it comes at a huge price that no one can turn away from once committed and helped. This is why you have witnessed an increase in baby disappearances/deaths, relatives of celebrities killed, sacrifices of all sorts, homosexual acts carried out in high profile orgies, murder, sexual acts in films, holy book burnings etc. The celebrity news is littered with such acts daily and publicized to the people as tragedy, but how much coincidence does it take before you open your eyes? Remember the game concentration when you were a kid? All the cards are face down and you have to find the pairs. After a few rounds you begin to remember the pattern as to what cards are where so the next time around you can uncover the matches…This is no different it just involves the highest stakes and often times the highest most prominent in society, and what you have forgotten about evil. The price is blood, and you can never reverse the pledge of allegiance…
Today many people who think they are religious aren’t and more so just state an affiliation to a secular set of rituals they may partake in X amount of day(s) per week. Those who say they believe really in their hearts they don’t believe…Faith is = to knowledge, the less you know the weaker your faith. This is why I am putting this information forward. People hear words on CNN Like Mujahedeen, Jihad, Salafi, Hezbollah, ikhwan, Islam, Muslim, sharia and all these words actually have good meanings in the language but we hear them high-jacked by English western world propagandist and allow ignorance coupled with fear to determine how we see and accept it. They want to take over the world…blah blah blah…We want to uncover the truth and tell the people this isn’t a fight amongst men this fight is the ultimate fight between good and evil. That time is now upon us, and everyone should come to that realization. In all cases of peace upon the earth it was only by living in accordance with the law of Allah called sharia in Arabic…This is the law given to every Messenger to give to their respective nations to govern the people according to Allah’s Law.
In cases of Nabi Dawud A.S. (David) who was also a King established his kingdom and rule with the law of Allah. Still fighting amongst rival tribes his son Sulaiman A.S. (Solomon) would be the inheritor of the kingdom and prophet hood. The uniqueness of Sulaiman a.s. was the kingdom he was given, which no other prophet had or will have after him. This kingdom wasn’t just the rule of people & thing upon the earth and countless riches as you might think of a king today. This kingdom was of the two worlds ours and the world of the jinn unseen to man. Given the control over them by a ring granted him of the creator he was able to see, speak, hear, understand etc. all of the creation of the creator from the ant to the Jinn. A remarkable endowment indeed, but one of great responsibility... The manifestation of the jinn into the realm of men from the obedience of man to Satan brought this about. Like today, the obedience to Satan is more so than to the creator, and thus you see this merging of the two worlds once again.
The jinn are often described in the likeness of Reptilians, half bird half man, half goat half man, dogs, spherical balls of light seen today as UFO’s and what people call “aliens”. All over the world you see drawings of these creatures on walls, buildings, etc.
Figure 24common alien depiction
Figure 25 alien depiction in Africa
As you know the sightings have been endless and they have occurred all over the world. In fact, it has occurred so frequently that most people today believe in aliens. The belief in aliens is not so bad, because the creator creates what he wishes; the danger lies in that man has taken this alien unto himself in serving them etc. when they are only seeking to carry out the destruction of mankind. We often see celebrities and very wealthy people depressed an addicted to alcohol, drugs or committing suicide because they are in servitude to something that is beyond themselves and death is the only way out. Death being the only way, is just the beginning of the suffering because to die in partnership to anything other than the creator is the only sin Allah says he will not forgive…as stated in the 10 commandments, commandments #1 & #2…and Qur’an:
"He is God; there is no god but He, He is the Knower of the unseen and the visible; He is the All-Merciful, the All-Compassionate. He is God; there is no God but He. He is the King, the All-Holy, the All-Peace, the Guardian of Faith, the All-Preserver, the All-Mighty, the All-Compeller, the All-Sublime. Glory be to God, above that they associate! He is God the Creator, the Maker, the Shaper. To Him belong the Names Most Beautiful. All that is in the heavens and the earth magnifies Him; He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise." (59:22-24)
"People of the Book, go not beyond the bounds in your religion, and say not as to God but the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only the Messenger of God, and His Word that He committed to Mary, and a Spirit from Him. So believe in God and His Messengers, and say not, 'Three.' Refrain; better is it for you. God is only one God. Glory be to Him - (He is) above having a son." (Quran chapter 4:171)
There are countless verses all warning mankind to this crime…so please take heed.
To tell the story of Sulaieman a.s I have borrowed from the great scholar and historian Ibn Kathir to enlighten us about that of which Allah has bestowed upon his prophet, and the enormous task he undertook. Ibn Kathir is the respected Imam, respected historian, read more here (http://www.dar-us-salam.com/authors/hafiz-ibn-kathir.htm).
His lineage is as follows; Abu Al-Fida', `Imad Ad-Din Isma il bin 'Umar bin Kathir Al-Qurashi Al-Busrawi - Busraian in origin; Dimashqi in training, learning and residence.
Ibn Kathir was born in the city of Busra in 701 H. His father was the Friday speaker of the village, but he died while Ibn Kathir was only four years old. Ibn Kathir's brother, Shaykh Abdul-Wahhab, reared him and taught him until he moved to Damascus in 706 H., when he was five years old.
Story of Prophet Sulaiman/Solomon (pbuh)
Ibn Kathir
Solomon inherited David's prophet hood and dominion. This was not a material inheritance, as prophets do not bequeath their property. It is given away to the poor and needy, not to their relatives. Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) said: "The prophets' property will not be inherited, and whatever we leave is to be used for charity." (Sahih Al-Bukhari authentic source of what the prophet Muhammad s.a.w. has said on a number of subjects from his companions).
And indeed We gave knowledge to David and Solomon, and they both said: "All the praises and thanks be to Allah, Who has preferred us above many of His believing slaves!"
And Solomon inherited (the knowledge of) David. He said: "O mankind! We have been taught the language of birds, and on us have been bestowed all things. This, verily, is an evident grace (from Allah)."
And there were gathered before Solomon his hosts of jinns and men, and birds, and they were all set in battle order (Rows or Ranks marching forwards). (Ch. 27:15-17 Quran).
After his father's death, Solomon became king. He begged Allah for a kingdom such as none after him would have, and Allah granted his wish. Besides wisdom, Allah had blessed Solomon with many abilities. He could command the winds and understand and talk to birds and animals. Allah directed him to teach both men and jinns to mine the earth and extract its minerals to make tools and weapons. He also favored him with a mine of copper, which was a rare metal in those days.
During his time horses were the common mode of transportation. They were very essential for defense, to carry soldiers and cart provisions and weapons of war. The animals were well cared for and well trained. One day Solomon was reviewing a parade of his stable. The fitness, beauty and posture of the horses fascinated him so much that he kept on stroking and admiring them. The sun was nearly setting, and the time for the middle prayer was passing by. When he realized this, he exclaimed: "I surely love the finer things of life than the service of my Lord! Return them to me."
Almighty Allah revealed: And to David We gave Solomon. How excellent a slave! Verily, he was ever oft returning in repentance (to Us)!
When there were displayed before him, in the afternoon, well-trained horses of the highest breed (for jihad in Allah's cause to fight for the sake of Allah other disbelieving tribes). And he said: "Alas! I did love the good (these horses) instead of remembering my Lord (in my 'Asr prayer)" till the time was over, and the sun had hidden in the veil of the night. Then he said: "Bring them (horses) back to me." Then he began to pass his hand over their legs and their necks (till the end of the display).
And indeed We did try Solomon and We placed on his throne Jasadan (a devil, so he lost his kingdom for a while) but he did return (to his throne and kingdom by the Grace of Allah and he did return) to Allah with obedience and in repentance. He said: "My Lord! Forgive me, and bestow upon me a kingdom such as shall not belong to any other after me. Verily, You are the Bestower."
So, We subjected to him the wind, it blew gently to his order whithersoever he willed, and also the devils from the jinns including every kind of builder and diver, and also others bound in fetters. (Saying of Allah to Solomon): "This is Our gift, so spend you or withhold, no account will be asked." And verily, he enjoyed a near access to Us, and a good final return Paradise. (Ch38:30-40 Quran).
One day Solomon gathered his army, which had different battalions of men, jinns, birds, and animals. He marched them to the country of Askalon.
While they were passing through a valley, an ant saw the approaching army and cried out to warn the other ants: "Run to your homes! Otherwise, unaware, Solomon and his army might crush you!" Solomon, hearing the cry of the ant, smiled. He was glad that the ant knew him to be a prophet who would not intentionally harm Allah's creation. He thanked Allah for saving the ants' lives.
Allah the Almighty narrated: And there were gathered before Solomon his hosts of jinns and men, and birds, and they all were set in battle order (marching forwards). Till, when they came to a valley of the ants, one of the ants said: "O ants! Enter your dwellings, lest Solomon and his hosts crush you, while they perceive not."
So he (Solomon) smiled, amused at her speech and said: "My Lord! Inspire and bestow upon me the power and ability that I may be grateful for Your Favors which You have bestowed on me and on my parents, and that I may do righteous good deeds that will please You, and admit me by Your Mercy among Your righteous slaves." (Ch. 27:17-19 Quran).
In Jerusalem, on a huge rock, Solomon built a beautiful temple to draw the people to worship Allah. Today this building is known as "The Dome of the Rock." From there, a large band of followers joined Solomon on pilgrimage to the Holy Mosque in Mecca. After they had completed their hajj, they traveled to Yemen and arrived in the city of Sana'a. Solomon was impressed by their clever method of channeling water all over their cities (the remains of these channels was due to the Marib Dam whose ruins remain in Yemen today as well as the uncovered ruins of the palace of the queen, which you can read about here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marib_Dam). He was keen to build similar water systems in his own country but did not have enough springs.
He set out to find the hoopoe bird, which could detect water under the ground. He sent signals all over for the hoopoe to call on him, but it was nowhere to be found. In anger, he declared that unless the bird had a good reason for its absence, he would punish it severely.
The hoopoe eventually came to Solomon and explained the reason for its delay. "I have discovered something of which you are not aware. I have come from Sheba (Sab'a) with important news." Solomon became curious, and his anger subsided. The bird continued: "Sab'a is ruled by a queen named Bilkis (Bilqis the actual name of the queen of sheba), who has plenty of everything, including a splendid throne. But in spite of all this wealth, Satan has entered her heart and the hearts of her people. She rules their minds completely. I was shocked to learn that they worship the sun instead of Allah the Almighty."
To check the hoopoe's information, Solomon sent a letter to the queen with the bird. He instructed the bird to remain hidden and to watch everything.
The hoopoe dropped the letter in front of the queen and flew away to hide. She excitedly opened and read it: "Verily! It is from Solomon, and verily! It reads: 'In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, and Most Merciful; be you not exalted against me, but come to me as Muslims (true believers who submit with full submission to the creator).'" (Ch. 27:30-31 Quran).
The queen was very disturbed and hurriedly summoned her advisors. They reacted as to a challenge, for they felt that there was someone challenging them, hinting at war and defeat, and asking them to submit to his conditions.
They told her that they could only offer advice, but it was her right to command action. She sensed that they wanted to meet Solomon's invading threat with a battle. However, she told them: "Peace and friendship are better and wiser; war only brings humiliation, enslaves people and destroys the good things. I have decided to send gifts to Solomon, selected from our most precious treasure. The courtiers who will deliver the gifts will also have an opportunity to learn about Solomon and his military might."
Solomon's reconnaissance team brought him the news of the arrival of Bilkis' messengers with a gift. He immediately realized that the queen had sent her men on a probing mission thus, he gave orders to rally the army. The envoys of Bilqis, entering amidst the well-equipped army, realized that their wealth was nothing in comparison to that of the kingdom of Solomon's palace floors, which were made of sandalwood and inlaid with gold.
They noticed Solomon surveying his army, and they were surprised at the number and variety of soldiers, which included lions, tigers, and birds. The messengers stood in amazement, realizing that they were in front of an irresistible army.
The envoys marveled at the splendor surrounding them. They eagerly presented their queen's precious gifts and told Solomon that the queen wished that he would accept them as an act of friendship. They were shocked by his reaction: he did not even ask to open the covers of the containers! He told them: "Allah has given me plenty of wealth, a large kingdom, and prophet hood. I am, therefore, beyond bribery. My only objective is to spread the belief in Tawheed, the Oneness of Allah."
He also directed them to take back the gifts to the queen and to tell her that if she did not stop her kind of worship he would uproot her kingdom and drive its people out of the land.
The queen's envoys returned with the gifts and delivered the message. They also told her of the wonderful things they had seen. Instead of taking offense, she decided to visit Solomon. Accompanied by her royal officials and servants, she left Sheba, sending a messenger ahead to inform Solomon that she was on her way to meet him.
Solomon asked the jinns in his employ whether anyone among them could bring her throne to his palace before she arrived. One of them said; "I will bring it to you before this sitting is over." Solomon did not react to this offer; it appeared that he was waiting for a faster means. The jinns competed with each other to please him. One of them named Ifrit said: "I will fetch it for you in the twinkling of an eye!" (Jinn are not bound like man and have different abilities)…
No sooner had this one - who had the knowledge of the Book (revelation) - finished his phrase than the throne stood before Solomon. The mission had, indeed, been completed in the blinking of an eye. Solomon's seat was in Palestine, and the throne of Bilqis had been in Yemen, two thousand miles away. This was a great miracle performed by one of those sitting with Solomon.
When Bilqis arrived at Solomon's palace, she was welcomed with pomp and ceremony. Then, pointing to the altered throne, Solomon asked her whether her throne looked like that one. She looked at it again and again. In her mind she was convinced that her throne could not possibly be the one she was looking at, as hers was in her palace; et, she detected a striking similarity and replied: "It is as if it were the very one, and resembles mine in every respect." Solomon judged that she was intelligent and diplomatic.
He then invited her into the great hall, the floor of which was laid in glass and shimmering. Thinking it was water, as she stepped on the floor, she lifted her skirt slightly above her heels, for fear of wetting it. Solomon pointed out to her that it was made of solid glass.
She was amazed. She had never seen such things before. Bilqis realized that she was in the company of a very knowledgeable person who was not only a ruler of a great kingdom but a messenger of Allah, as well. She repented, gave up sun worship, accepted the faith of Allah, and asked her people to do the same.
It was finished; Bilqis saw her people's creed fall apart before Solomon. She realized that the sun which her people worshipped was nothing but one of Allah's creatures.
The sun eclipsed within her for the first time, and her heart was lit by a never fading light, the light of Islam (submission to the creator alone).
Almighty Allah told us this story in the Quran; the following is the same as the above but from the Quran not the historian:
He inspected the birds, and said: "What is the matter that I see not a hoopoe? Or is he among the absentees? I will surely punish him with a severe torment, or slaughter him, unless he brings me a clear reason."
But the hoopoe stayed not long, he came up and said: "I have grasped (the knowledge of a thing) which you have not grasped and I have come to you from Sheba with true news. I found a woman ruling over them, and she has been given all things that could be possessed by any ruler of the earth, and she has a great throne. I found her and her people worshipping the sun instead of Allah, and Satan has made their deeds fair seeming to them, and has barred them from Allah's Way, so they have no guidance."
Al-La (this word has two interpretations) [As Satan has barred them from Allah's Way} so that they do not worship (prostrate before) Allah, or so that they may worship (prostrate before) Allah, Who brings light to what is hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knows what you conceal and what you reveal. Allah, La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Lord of the Supreme Throne!
(Solomon) said: "We shall see whether you speak the truth or you are one of the liars. Go with this letter of mine, and deliver it to them, then draw back from them, and see what answer they return."
She said: "O chiefs! Verily! Here is a delivered to me a noble letter. Verily! It is from Solomon and verily! It (reads): 'In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful; Be you not exalted against me, but come to me as Muslims (true believers who submit to Allah with full submission)."
She said: "O chiefs! Advise me in this case of mine. I decide no case till you are present with me."
They said: "We have great strength, and great ability for war, but it is for you to command; so think over what you will command."
She said: "Verily! Kings, when they enter a town (country), they despoil it, and make the most honorable amongst its people low. And thus they do. But verily! I am going to send him a present, and see with what answer the messengers return."
So when (the messengers with the present) came to Solomon, he said: "Will you help me in wealth? What Allah has given me is better than that which He has given you! Nay, you rejoice in your gift!" (Then Solomon said to the chief of her messengers who brought the present): "Go back to them. We verily shall come to them with hosts that they cannot resist, and we shall drive them out from there is disgrace, and they will be abased."
He said: "O chiefs! Which of you can bring me her throne before they come to me surrendering themselves in obedience?"
An Ifrit (strong) from the jinns said: "I will bring it to you before you rise from your place (council). And verily, I am indeed strong, and trustworthy for such work."
One with whom was knowledge of the Scripture said: "I will bring it to you within the twinkling of an eye!" then when Solomon saw it placed before him, he said: "This is by the Grace of my Lord, to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful! And whoever is grateful, truly, his gratitude is for the good of his ownself, and whoever is ungrateful, he is ungrateful only for the loss of his ownself. Certainly! My Lord is Rich (Free of all wants), Bountiful!"
He said: "Disguise her throne for her that we may see whether she will be guided (to recognize her throne), or she will be one of those not guided."
So when she came, it was said to her: "Is your throne like this?"
She said: "It is as though it was the very same."
And Solomon said: "Knowledge was bestowed on us before her, and we were submitted to Allah (in Islam as Muslims before her)."
And that which she used to worship besides Allah has prevented her from Islam, for she was of a disbelieving people.
It was said to her: "Enter As-Sarh" (a glass surface with water underneath it) or a palace, but when she saw it, she thought it was a pool, and she tucked up her clothes, uncovering her legs.
Solomon said: "Verily, it is Sarh paved smooth with slab of glass."
She said: "My Lord! Verily, I have wronged myself, and I submit (in Islam), together with Solomon, to Allah, the Lord of the Alamin (mankind, jinns, and all that exists)." (Ch 27:20-44 Quran)
Solomon's public work was largely carried out by the jinns. This was a punishment for their sins of making people believe that they were all-powerful, knew the unseen, and could foresee the future. As a prophet, it was Solomon's duty to remove such false beliefs from his followers.
Solomon lived a midst glory, and all creatures were subjected to him. Then Allah the Exalted ordained for him to die. His life and death were full of wonders and miracles; thus, his death harmonized with his life and glory. His death, like his life, was unique. The people had to learn that the future is known neither by the jinns, nor by the prophets, but by Allah alone. Solomon's effort in this direction did not end with his life, for even his death became an example. He was sitting holding his staff, overseeing the jinns at work in a mine. He died sitting in this position. For a long time no one was aware of his death, for he was seen sitting erect. The jinns continued with their sand toil, thinking that Solomon was watching over them.
Many days later, a hungry ant some narrations say a wood worm began nibbling Solomon's staff. It continued to do so, eating the lower part of the staff, until it fell out of Solomon's hand, and his great body fell to the ground. People hurried to him, realizing that he had died a long time ago and that the jinns did not perceive the unseen, for had the jinns known the unseen, they would not have kept working, and thinking that Solomon was alive.
Allah the Exalted revealed: And We caused a fount of molten brass to flow for him, and there were jinns that worked in front of him by the Leave of his Lord, and whosoever of them turned aside from Our Command, We shall cause him to taste of the torment of the blazing Fire.
They worked for him what he desired, (making) high rooms, images, basins as large as reservoirs, and (making) cauldrons fixed (in their places). "Work you, O family of David, with thanks!" But few of My slaves are grateful.
Then when we decreed death for him (Solomon), nothing informed them (jinns) of his death except a little worm of the earth, which kept slowly gnawing away at his stick, so when he fell down, the jinns saw clearly that if they had known the unseen, they would not have stayed in the humiliating torment. (Ch 34:12-14 Quran).

The world of Sulaieman A.S. is now back upon mankind but now there is no prophet amongst us physically, but he words remain… Like the devil given temporary post when Sulaieman was neglectful of his prayer with the parade of horses until his repentance. Another devil with be given temporary post upon the throne from Jerusalem Ad’ Dajjal whom the world is preparing for. This parallel is VERY real folks and whither people understand what’s going on or not they do feel something different in the air. As I mentioned earlier prophets were all given miracles to perform according to the age they lived in pertaining to what the people were amazed by…Today, aliens and outer space is what amazes most people. We have all been carefully cultured to the acceptance of aliens from movies like E.T. to all of the mysterious UFO sightings that occur on an unprecedented scale, and now the ancient alien theories of Zachariah Kitchens and his team who make imaginative claims about the Annuaki etc... It’s no different than any other time when Satan is the mastermind behind what is to take place, and both his army from himself and human servants help to carry out the agenda.
Reflect and ask yourself why were all the civilisation in the bible destroyed, and why was Joshua, King Saul, David and Solomon fighting with other Nations of people? Why because they committed major sins & disbelieved in the one true Allah. Why were the people of Moses delivered from the oppression of the Egypt? Because they were the ones that believed while the Egyptians worshiped the Pharaoh. Muhammad’s battles with all the tribes of Quraish and later with Byzantine and other Nations; Again, because they were a people taken to idol worship. Moses’ nation is the first nation Allah calls to fight in his sake using the believers to check those who don’t (called jihad fi sabililah) war of believers against those who don’t.
Walakeen Jihad al nufs thalika kana jihad kabir… the prophet s.a.w said “but the jihad (war) with yourself that is the greatest war”…
Prior to this Allah ordered & destroyed nations of people for their indecencies’ and sins. Allah has thus been using the believers to fight the nations of non-believers and you see this today. Outnumbered, minimal weapons, no Air or Naval power it doesn’t matter Allah is always on the side of those who love him and these people he has always called his own…
Wars then were about good versus evil and today are no different…Most people just have to Catch Up so they see things more clearly…And actually see the good and evil sides.
Many would say that this is the number one reason for most wars…but I beg to differ. The last two World Wars were fought over ideologies: Communism then Fascism…all the smaller conflicts have been over gaining control of resources, and exported exploitation of resources to maintain an affluent lifestyle in the West. The time upon us now is the Religious War coined “the war on terror” but it is really the war on Islam. The military occupations of lands like Afghanistan & Iraq are to control the Muslim resources of mainly oil, pipelines that traverse across muslim lands, as well as to take up strategic positioning for drone strikes inside Nuclear Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon. Most recently, also drawing a clearer understanding into the isolation of Russia, Iran & China with air defense systems to shield Israel, Saudi Arabia and USA from retaliatory attacks…
Then we have the few that say they don’t believe in religion; and I too would agree but not to the extent of disbelief. I don’t believe in man-made religion…But I tell you just like children, adults need to discipline as well. It is not ok to live upon the earth in any manner you see fit. Life isn’t meant to be in that way, and the creation of the earth wasn’t to be a waste land for human being. Everything is created for a purpose and it’s about time people who don’t understand that purpose to understand…
Let me begin by saying I respect what people choose as their faith…This chapter is not intended to put anyone’s faith down, but to only share the fact of truth. By truth I mean statements backed by proof and sources not just biased to one faith and not another. I am not seeking any coverts because the blessing of faith is a gift of Allah, and it is only he Ta’ala (Most High) who can guide in which none would be able to lead astray, and if he chooses not to guide then none can guide…I include myself in the continued want of guidance; and I don’t exclude myself from anything I have written. People confined to just the English language miss out on a lot of understanding even when reading text in English…Americans in particular are aggressive and so they can have a bit of stubbornness when told differently than what they are accustomed too. I too fell under the Christian persuasion having a Grandfather (mother’s side) who was a minister and attending church, but I never accepted the faith. As a child I read along, I shared good moments in choir etc. but as I matured I began to ask questions like many others who share their stories. Confined then with no other sources to turn too besides my mother I would ask her many things. Some of the questions puzzled her and she would then tell me to remind her and we would both ask the minister, my grandfather passed away while I was young and lived in the south while I lived in the north. When we asked the minister in the local church he could never answer, and would then commence to try flirting with my mother and offer us candy…
One of the questions I used to ask my mother was how did Adam and Eve populate the World if they had two sons Cain and Able? Then Cain kills Able, which leaves on ONE son…for the most part no one could answer, but would you believe that I was told by ADULTS that Cain committed incest with his mother to populate the world? How could the first humans Adam and Eve both created by the hand of the creator perfectly then be reduced to the major sins of incest?
Years would pass before I got the answer to this question…In fact I’m not ashamed to say that it was last year 2013 that I heard a Muslim Scholar very well known (Mufti Isma’il Ibn Musa Menk of Zimbabwe) tell the story from the Israeliat which means the stories of Yacub/Jacob A.S Jacob/Yacub was given the name Israel and this is why you hear the 12 tribes called Banu Israel or children of Israel…Not Israel the country nor the Jews…please understand prior to 1948 the land Israel didn’t exist, and these people there today are criminally occupying the land staking claim to a lineage they ARE NOT…
So the Mufti says: Eve got pregnant 20 times each time she was pregnant she gave birth to a boy and a girl. The boy & girl were called WOMB brother & sister and therefore the Shariah or law for Adam then was that no WOMB brother and sister could marry, instead they had to marry other than their own womb sister. This is said to be the premise of hatred for Cain towards his brother Able…Cain’s womb sister was very good looking and the sister of Able was not so good looking (the first case of jealously, and want based on looks); and Able was due to marry the sister of Cain. Adam mediated in the difference between them and made a prayer to Allah in which he tells him to have each of them place a sacrifice of their livelihood atop of the mountain and whichever is eaten up by the fire is the one accepted and thus the conclusion to the dispute. The sacrifice on the mountain was not to offer to Allah/God any food for he is in NO need of food, it is solely for the purpose of judging between the brothers although until this day sacrifices are made to God’s…Man can’t not see Allah, nor will he speak to any of us exception to Moses; therefore this fire devouring the sacrifice of the one in which Allah’s judgment was for is the tangible method to SHOW them which was accepted.
Abele’s sacrifice was accepted and thus the jealousy/ hatred of Cain towards his brother drove him to kill him. In every stage of man’s development upon the earth Allah’s sharia/law has guided mankind in what he is to do…Now that many more people exist, this type of sharia has been abrogated and abrogated and abrogated….until we have the last abrogation of law the Quran…
I swear to you because it was moments like this that were pivotal in my life, and I have never lost those words from my youth of about 9yrs old. I would speak to my mother about the acceptance and when I saw friends of mine being baptized; I asked her if I too had to do the same? She told me, “Why do you have to do what others are doing”? “You do what your heart tells you to do, and don’t worry about following other people”. So like my mother I’m encouraging you to use your heart, not in a way of emotion, but open it to reason and verify what you know…
Re-unification of people upon the truth as the truth has been deliberately mired in centuries of lies and is still the main source in the world view used to divide and rule. Only in America mostly is race a major factor…So you ask me how was I able to come into this truth finding, what makes me so special that I know and you don’t? You are right, I’m not special nor do I carry myself as such…first I thank Allah for opening my HEART & eyes to see, understand and accept the truth when it came and by the means in which it came, the other differences I could point out would be my extensive reading/ research and travel for more than 20yrs now. Many old friends and family can remember the days in which I lived similar to what they may still be doing, but what they don’t know are the conversations I had with my mother and all the reading I would come home too. In my home I had books; in my home I had other means of occupying my time. I know of people who live to enjoy and they don’t know when to turn it off. Always searching to be entertained, instead of occupying the mind in something that will teach & elevate the consciousness. Knowing the players stats, what college they attended, or fantasying of some soap drama, or reality TV program it’s all non-sense to waste time and dumb people down.
This discipline of reading has sustained itself with me throughout the years and I have never been afraid to challenge anything in finding out the truth. If there’s no answer to something I immediately draw suspicion, because in all existence there is an opposite too everything…good/bad, happy/sad, love/hate, question/answer LOL. I know that sometimes answers come in time, but there should be something that at least leads to the road of the answer; not I don’t know especially in revelation because Allah is perfect and would not mislead his creation. Blind following is dangerous…we all have been given the capacity to learn through speech, eyesight, hearing, and intellect…even those with handicaps of eyesight and hearing are remarkably able to do things just as if their handicaps were not there. Remember the old commercial of the frying pan with cooking oil and they say, “This is drugs”? Then they crack an egg throw it in and it begins to sizzle. They say, “This is your brain on drugs”. Well, it’s no different when we blind follow because you are wasting your brain by not using it to come to the truth yourself or at least verifying what people are saying by using all sources of information gathering…
Take for example the creation of the Bible…What is the bible? Has anyone asked themselves that question? What is the position of the Clergy (Minister, Imam, Rabbi etc.)… The role of the clergy is not to interpret the scripture the interpretation is the job of the prophet only. Like the user’s manual to a new iPhone; we wouldn’t seek anyone other than apple to explain the features of the phone and the use of it. The revelation of Allah needs no further interpretations or opinions people add to it as if Allah is insufficient. “I think God would….” And “In my opinion I think its ok….” Statements like this are devoid of faith, because one condition of faith is to accept what Allah has ordained no questions asked…This is the current condition of affairs. Everyone loves to be opinioned and that is a wonderful thing, but opinions should be kept to mundane things and not the laws of the creator. Unfortunately, the only faith with its revelation intact as it was revealed is Islam. One of the many reasons for the Qur’an is that it leads to all truth in every similitude for mankind, and that it is a revelation that confirms what came before it. The succession of Prophet Hood at times comes with new revelation or law. Ibrahim A.S. (Abraham given the Suhuf), Dawud A.S. (David given the Sabur), Musa a.s. (the Torah) Esa Ibn Mariam a.s. (the Injeel gospel), and Muhammad s.a.w. (the Qur’an). Many other revelations given to previous messengers/prophets in a succession of guidance to mankind. From Adam to Muhammad; because the Lord is not finite and not contained in one revelation but that he Allah is merciful and continues his guidance to man in every age and to every nation raising from amongst them his chosen to bestow his mercy in revelation. This is why you have messengers (Rasools) and Prophets (nabi (1) anbiyah (plural). A Rasool is both a messenger & Nabi but a Nabi is only a nabi…So, what is the difference? Example: Musa a.s. is a Rasool because Allah gave him revelation and law and Harun a.s (his brother Aaron) is a Nabi who is inspired by Allah In dreams or within himself (which the dreams of prophets are revelation & true), also by way of Allah’s messenger Jabril a.s.. Another two Esa Ibn Mariam a.s. and Yayah Ibn Zachariah a.s; (John the Baptist in English and his father Zachariah also a prophet who was the guardian of Mariam after her mother Hannah died and her father Imran a.s a prophet who died before she was born).
The cousins Esa & Yayah; Esa was given the Injeel (gospel having a few amendments to the law of Musa A.S. that were previously forbidden now made permissible). Yayah A.S. was only a prophet and followed the law of Musa a.s. until Esa Ibn Mariam a.s. birth and revelation came. Of the 5 greatest messengers honored by Allah are Nuh (Noah), Ibrahim (Abraham), Musa (Moses), Esa Ibn Mariam (Jesus) and Muhammad peace be on all of them. Referred as nabi-ul-azzm (prophets of honor) because of the hardships they endured in delivering their messages. We of course love and honor all of the prophets as the best amongst mankind chosen for each nation of mankind upon the earth to deliver the guidance of the creator, and we make no distinctions between them other than what the creator has made…
The Qur’an is Allah’s written word, although it was given in an oral manner to the prophet s.a.w it was always intended by the creator to be a book as many verses indicate. Secondly, the Speech of the prophet in response to questions asked etc. is also revelation the spoken revelation from Allah to Jabril a.s. relayed to Muhammad s.a.w. as answers & explanations to what was asked. Unlike the Bible the words of Allah and the words of the prophet are not within the same book…Many verses in the Qur’an begin with “Qul” (Say) as Allah is directing his prophet on what to say.
The Imam’s on the Jumua’ah Friday congregation prayer, in knowledge circles, or schools DO NOT interpret the scripture they only restate the verses as they were delivered and the interpretations given are those from the Prophet s.a.w.. As I mentioned this is a very serious matter and it shouldn’t be taken lightly. Most verses of all scripture are straight forward giving judgments, prohibitions, or giving examples in stories of prophets…others are packed with ongoing wisdoms that keep giving. These are the verses that those who lack faith love to debate over, because these verses are packed with ongoing wisdoms that the human mind can’t take in all at once. Or like the explanation of how the human body develops as Allah tells us in the Quran when revealed 1435 yrs. ago wasn’t confirmed by science until 20th century. So the knowledge of Allah in his book keeps giving right along with man’s modernity…
Authority lies with scholars not the common clergy who are knowledgeable in the scripture, jurisprudence, judgments’, prohibitions, speech of the Prophet who can make qualified statements; not anyone clergy who knows enough to run the affairs of the church, mosque or synague.
So back to the questions…what is the bible? I will tell you what the “Bible” is to me. IT’s A MAN MADE BOOK…Why? #1 Because Allah/God never revealed any revelation in English, Allah/God revealed the Sabur to David, Psalms, Torah and he revealed the Injeel (referred to in English as Gospel or New Testament). The bible is the compilation of all into one book, thus my reason for saying it’s a man-made book. The original sources of all the books mentioned are no more; and the bible is re-published every year taking something out or adding something or rectifying a verse, year after year. So much so that now you have the: king James non-drama, king James drama, 2001 English standard drama, Anglicized non-drama, anglicized drama, 1989 new revised standard drama, world English bible drama, Mormon bible, latter-day saints bible, catholic bible (which has 7books more than the king James version) and the list goes on and on. No two are alike…Amongst the various sects of Christianity the book changes but the Qur’an is one even amongst the deviant sects. I don’t mean the translation of the Qur’an into various languages because the Arabic language is rich with words often have more than one meaning and at times deviation in choice of word may occur. But the Arabic Qur’an as revealed unto the prophet is the Qur’an I am speaking about that is unchanged for 1440yrs.
Allah himself even challenges anyone to reproduce a book like unto it, then lessens the challenge to even the reproduction of one chapter…then again to even that of a simple verse…Because of the many miracles therein and scientific proof of the existence of Allah that scientist today are stunned by it a book revealed 1400yrs ago; and the sheer language grammatical achievements unlike any other literary work ever produced…The evidences are all there, I leave that to you to search but a very good documentary to begin with is (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZS1x-6al2pE). You owe it to yourself to watch…gather the wife & family pop some popcorn and enjoy…Its better than the cinema. It’s well done and full of supporting evidences…
I am not purposely making any derogatory comparisons from one revelation to the other because frankly the whole truth can’t be compare with something that contains some truth mixed with what man as written. The reason scholars have said that the Injeel (New testament gospel of Esa Ibn Mariam) has been lost is due to the fact of instead of the followers of the faith learning the language it was reveal in to get the just of the meanings, and memorizing it they have been interpreting it… from Aramaic, to Hebrew, to Greek, to Latin, then the European languages and lastly English; and in doing so they lost the entire revelation. The red letter bible which is rare today; had everything Esa ibn Mariam a.s said in red letters and everything else was attributed primarily to Paul (a self-appointed disciple who never met Esa ibn Mariam a.s who was a bounty hunter of his followers before his falling of the horse, hitting his head and thus turning to be an advocate of the faith and conspirator in high jacking the realities of Esau’s true teachings).
What is in red accounts for less than 20% of the entire Gospel which makes the Gospels non-revelation since the revelation comes from Allah to the Messenger/Prophet which in this case has spoken far less… In addition to the translation is the ignorance to language rules of Hebrew, Aramaic, & Arabic all sister languages. This is a huge fault and I don’t understand why anyone who doesn’t speak these languages fails to understand this when someone who speaks the language corrects them. This would be the case if someone was in your presence butchering the English language and you corrected them but they by ignorance or arrogance fail to use the rules of grammar. How selfish of people…Americans are the less likely to speak foreign languages than any other country and when they travel it’s usually always to English influenced locations.
English has singular (one) plural (two or more) where these ancient languages have singular (one), two by itself, plural (three), and the royal (we) of power…Allah/ God refers to himself with this Royal we…Even in Hebrew the word Elohim:
E·lo·him
eˈlōhim,ˌelōˈhēm,ˌelōˈhim/
Noun
Noun: Elohim
In the traditional Jewish view, Elohim is the Name of God as the Creator and Judge of the universe (Gen 1:1-2:4a). “The Holy One, Blessed be He, said to those, you want to know my name? I am called according to my actions. When I judge the creatures I am Elohim, and when I have mercy with my world, I am named YHVH” (Ex R. 3:6).
In the second creation story (Genesis 2:4b-ff) the Name of God is revealed as the Sacred Name YHVH (from the Semitic root that means “to be”) and expresses the idea of God’s closeness to humans. YHVH “breathed into his (Adam’s) nostrils the breath of life” (Genesis 2:7).
(Note the YHVH the constants, this represents the word “Yehwah”Yehvah”) Another very important note is that in these languages they are written in just constants with no vowels…if someone with no knowledge of the language in its richness may apply the wrong vowel and get a completely different word. This is an example of writing without vowels taken from the local paper about space program with Nasa technology below etc.…
حتضن المغرب خلال الفترة الممتدة بين 1و4 أبريل، "المؤتمر الدولي الثالث لاستخدام تكنولوجيا الفضاء في إدارة الموارد المائية"، والذي يعقده مكتب الأمم المتحدة بالمغرب بالتعاون مع جائزة الأمير سلطان بن عبد العزيز العالمية للمياه بالعاصمة الرباط، لتعزيز قدرات الدول لاستخدام تكنولوجيا الفضاء وتطبيقاتها وتقوية التعاون الإقليمي والدولي في هذا المجال، وزيادة الوعي لدى صانعي القرار والباحثين والمجتمع الأكاديمي بأهمية استخدام تلك التكنولوجيات.
ومن المرتقب أن يشهد المؤتمر استعراض العديد من الأنشطة، على رأسها المشروع الذي يتقدم به المجلس العربي للمياه، القاضي بتحسين الإدارة المائية وبناء القدرات من خلال استخدام تكنولوجيا الاستشعار عن بُعد حيث يتولى المجلس العربي للمياه التنسيق لتنفيذ هذا المشروع بالتعاون مع الشركاء البنك الدولي (WB) الوكالة الأمريكية للتنمية (USAID) ووكالة (NASA)، (GEF). حيث سيتم عرض ما تم إنجازه من أنشطة المشروع خلال الفترة السابقة على المستوى الإقليمي، أو على المستوى المحلى للدول المشاركة ومراجعة خطة العمل للفترة القادمة وحتى عام 2015
Now have a look at this:
Here you see the use of vowels represented by the short lines above -and under _also what appears to be an apostrophe but bigger. Many mistakes in translation have been caused by this simple fallibility of those chosen to translate when they lacked deep knowledge of the richness in vocabulary…and or thought from themselves that the text so read differently; and thus changed what was said altogether by applying the wrong vowel. This would be like FST apply a vowel F”I”ST but it may have been written to mean F”A”ST…
Another Important Example: Read this word…Hallauya…reading it from the left to right as any English speaker would you read “Hallauya” calling on your Lord or offering praise…But when you read the same word from Right to left like Semetic readers of Hebrew, Aramaic, & Arabic you have “Ya Allahu” which means “O Allah” calling on your Lord. The letter “u” the sound means “him” in Semetic language so saying “Hallauya” you are actually saying “Allah him o” but from right to left you are saying, “O Allah him”. The “him” here is a reinforcing word to who is being called upon “O Allah to him do I call on”…Sounds with one letter can mean whole words at times. Some say the word Hallauya means “praise the lord” but it doesn’t…AL Hamdulilah means” The Praise is for Allah”; while Subhanallah Rabbil A’la means “Glory to Allah Lord Most High”. English speakers are NOT in a position to giving meaning to words or language they don’t understand…Allahi or Elahi to sematic readers would both know this means “My Lord” since there are common words in all Semitic languages and variations in sound & accent just like that of Americans, British, Australians, Canadians, & Jamaicans…all speak English but the word sounds vary…Lots of English words come from Arabic if you want to explore it further visit this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_words_of_Arabic_origin.
Now from the sixth hour darkness fell upon all the land until the ninth hour. 46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, 'Eli, Eli, lama sabach thani?' that is, 'My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?' “(Matthew 27:45-46, NASB)
The English words ELI ELI (Strong's Concordance Number #G2241) in their literal meaning in the Greek language are "God, God." The meaning of the word LAMA (Strong's Concordance Number #G2982) is "Why." Lastly, the exact meaning of the word SABACHTHANI (Strong's Concordance Number #G4518) is "You have left (forsaken, abandoned) me."
Elahi (אלהי) is Aramaic and means "My God." Elah means God (Name for God as 'Awesome One') in Aramaic. The "i" after Elah means "my". Elah-i, Elahi = my god. In the Bible Elahi is found only in the books of Ezra and Daniel…
Studying & Speaking Arabic, I understand the construct of rules and because Allah is known to his creation by his attributes he always uses “THE ROYAL WE” in describing himself and the prefix of “AL” is applied for tawheed (meaning singling out HIM God as the only one) Al= THE So when prefixed to his attributes it gives oneness to him…and this is the basis to the first pillar of faith “THERE IS NO ILAH BUT ALLAH” there is no God but God…this is the beauty of the language because it has within it tawheed that renders reverence, unlike English which associates partners to God. The days of the week all derivatives to pagan gods, the word god itself needs definition as to what god you are speaking about etc…Here are a few out of the 99 Known attributes of Allah/God:
الرحمن Al-Rahman the exceedingly Compassionate
Al-Rahim الرحيم the exceedingly merciful,
الملك Al-Malik the king and the sovereign, القدوس
Al-Quddus the holy, divine, the pure
السلام Al-salam the source of Peace
المؤمن Al-Mumin the granter of security(faith or belief)
المهيمن Al-Muhaymin the controller
العزيز Al-Aziz the mighty
الجبار Al-Jabbar the irresistible compeller
المتكبر Al-Mutakabbir the majestic supreme
الحكيم Al-Hakim the wise
الشكور Ash-Shukur the grateful,
The term Allāh is derived from a contraction of the Arabic definite article al- "the" and ilāh "deity, god" to al-lāh meaning "the [sole] deity, God" (ὁ θεὸς μόνος, ho theos monos). Cognates of the name "Allāh" exist in other Semitic languages, including Hebrew and Aramaic.[12] The corresponding Aramaic form is ʼĔlāhā ܐܠܗܐ in Biblical Aramaic and ʼAlâhâ ܐܲܠܵܗܵܐ in Syriac as used by the Assyrian Church, both meaning simply 'God'.[13] Biblical Hebrew mostly uses the plural form (but functional singular) Elohim. In the Sikh scriptures, Guru Granth Sahib, the term Allah (Punjabi: ਅਲਹੁ) is used 37 times.
The Arabic components (letters and symbols) that build-up the word "Allah":
1. alif
2. hamzat waṣl (همزة وصل)
3. lām
4. lām
5. shadda (شدة) which means the letter repeats itself “double L (aLLah)
6. dagger alif (ألف خنجرية) vowel on the repeating letter L for La sound
7. hāʾ ending letter “h” with like a emphasis on ending
So, hopefully with the brief history and explanation you can begin to understand the importance of knowing the rules of language even when you read the scripture in your own languages. If ignored you change the entire meaning of what is being said and thus you have allowed ignorance to change the understanding, and that of course is perpetuated and exaggerated. I love the truth, and I stand to defend the truth, just as one of you may be defending the bible in English after all this proof given. Just know that eventually all falsehood will perish and the truth will prevail.
I would also like to add the prostration, bowing notation…
Today, I think everyone would considered this action an act of worship, which the prostration we make in prayer to lower the head to the ground. The head being the intellect & location of consciousness for man representing his highest point of being when standing is lowered to the ground (lowest point) in submission to the creator. This is what the word Muslim means “the one who is submitting to the creator”. The word masjid meaning mosque is the place of Sajud (meaning prostration).
As the above pictures illustrate the prostration…Catholics, Monks, Hindus, and Synchs etc. have all practiced this type of reverence although the prostration may be rendered to other deities other than ALLAH…
But I would have you to know that the prostration has also been rendered as a gesture of respect not worship.
Nebuchadnezzar Promotes Daniel 2:46: 46Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face and did homage to Daniel, and gave orders to present to him an offering and fragrant incense. 47The king answered Daniel and said, "Surely your God is a God of gods and a Lord of kings and a revealer of mysteries, since you have been able to reveal this mystery."…
There are multiple references of “fell down” etc. and the use of the word worship is used inter-changeably and I argue the case to be shown anywhere that Jesus said for the people to worship him….Above the King is showing respect to the prophet Daniel…Another example is that of Yusef a.s. (Joseph) when he told his father Yacub a.s. about his dream of the sun, moon and stars making sajud (prostration) to him…then at the culmination of his dream he is the 2nd in charge of Egypt with Pharaoh and he sends for his family to come to Egypt and live with him there after his brothers have witnessed his presence in Egypt when Yusef reminds them of their deed of throwing him in the well . When reunited with them they all fell in prostration in respect to him not worship…Sun, Moon & stars= his father, mother, and 11 brothers…
This Prostration of respect is also the reason of the expulsion of Shaitan (Satan) from Jannah (the paradise). After Allah had created Adam and his body lay on the ground still without a soul, shaitan inspects the hollow being, and swears to mislead him if put in a higher position; Allah orders the angels and Satan to make sajud (prostration) to Adam out of respect to his position given him in the lowest Earth. The angels all honor the command, and Satan refuses thus he is cursed, cast out, and his hatred for mankind to mislead them begins….This is a practice of old, and new law/revelation has changed this and today the sajud of respect is no longer rendered, not even the bow towards anyone but ALLAH …
Another good example of a distortion would be when Allah/God is speaking to the creation that existed prior to man (which we will speak about later) Angels being the targeted audience here, when he says he will create another creation “man”. The Christian faith says, “God created man in his own image” implying that God himself looks like the human he’s going to create. Now really, anyone could derive to a logical conclusion just by asking yourself a few questions in an orderly fashion with contemplation of what you come up with… But so, so, so many people are blindly taken to this without reflection. Who is the man Allah will create? Adam…right? Prior to Adam there is nothing like Adam meaning no other human beings in existence right? So, When Allah created Adam how did he create him? Herein lies the MILLION dollar question & answer…When Allah created Adam he created Adam as a grown man. This means that Adam was created on his image of being a Man already…what this means is he was never a baby that grew up to be an adolescent, then an adult…he was created in the beginning on his image that he was to be…Eve his mate the same thing she was created as a woman already. Had they been babies and needed what you and I need to grow and mature who was to do that for them since they had no parents? Sure, Allah can do all things, but Allah is Al-Hay, Al-Khabir the Living giver of life and the Aware of all things Al-Hakim the wise meaning that he creates for a purpose. Allah is ABOVE is creation and not included in it nor is he confined to the limits he has placed in it such as time, day/night, sleep, food, water, calls of nature, and life/death. The human body is bound by these things and he is not. NOITHING is like unto him as given to us in the Qur’an Surah Al-Baqarah 255 first in Arabic, because when you look at text you see the text as it was spoken to the last prophet:
English translation:
Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi [(Meaning Chair but with the implication of being upon is Arsh (throne))] extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.
In conclusion to the point of making mistakes in verses by not applying language rules to translations, not understanding the languages are written using only constants so changes have made mistakes to scripture common and inevitable
Lastly, by also taking man-made descriptions about who the creator is, his majesty, grandeur, Lordship is really the worst crime man can make about Allah. Why does man do this? Simply put, lack of faith in the unseen…some have the need to make Allah tangible or make intermediaries in tangible things that are part of this creation wherein we exist which is the base creation. This is the source of Idol worship and worship of people as God or part of the God head…God willing, I hope that this point can really be taken in and chewed on a while so people understand that we belong to someone who is beyond human mental comprehension & much, much, more great than what they say...
When I left home I was 18yrs old (then USA) I went to the Middle East where I was immediately taken back. Exposed to the ancient lands of Prophets, Lands of legendary events and ancient civilizations… I was exposed to my roots for the first time, America providing only an historical fraction of the true identity of its colored captives, now 2nd class citizens. I’m sorry, but sometimes I find it humorous to provoke America with comments such as the previous true nonetheless; but by no means am I a person who rights out of blame. The fate of my people was the design of the creator to endure; and I accept all of his precepts because his wisdom encompasses all things.
There are tests placed upon all of us as individuals, groups & even nations; blessings, and hardships that if endured patiently will elevate you with Allah & make you stronger. In other cases calamities that should bring people back into his remembrance. America being the melting pot that it is…if you literally think of a pot of soup then this analogy becomes clearer. Always a land of multiversity America strips eventually anyone who comes to her of their pure culture to an adopted American, watered down version. Just another ingredient thrown into the soup… America has no culture of her own besides that of materialism, and eventually anything apposing this ideology or way of life has to be altered to accept it into its discipline. This is one reason for the conception and altering of belief systems to conform to the desires of people, the other being that of philosophy. Many secular deviations have come about based on these two principals. Desires…people serving desires cannot serve Allah at the same time, for no slave can righteously sever to masters. He will eventually have to disobey one to obey the other. Same is true with Allah, we must fight our lower selves as best as we can and train the nufs (the self) to follow a higher inclination of our spiritual self. Philosophy is the introduction of man’s reasoning upon what the creator through his infinite wisdom has already ordained. Through philosophy he seeks to find loop holes or flaws, anything in which he or she might exploit in order to serve a desire. The danger is when this speech is given an ear and promoted, the number of people increase, all inclined to do the same thing (serve desires) a secular order is spun off the original source and put into practice. You see this today religion is big business in America…Mega-churches televised, and often endorsed by government. Amongst the African American Ministry there is a lot of dirt. Meanwhile every religion in the world has been attacked in this way, and today with funding these new many secular groups trick a lot of people into following. The use of celebrity, social acceptances, demonetization & falsified attacks upon groups and even States (countries), and they have even slandered prophets themselves in making them Poets, Magicians, drunkards, or by making them commit prohibited acts of incest with changing their stories. The prophets of Allah are his chosen people upon which is the responsibility to give to mankind the guidance of his revelation; they are & were the best of all people in their time and could never be or commit such things…
Along with this comes the geographical isolation of the continent (North, Central & South America) to the rest of the world, the European eccentric attitude of old colonization times to include Australia and New Zealand with this isolation lot of manipulation has been done to keep people isolated mentally, physically, and spiritually. Europe is part of Asia Minor but yet it calls itself a continent by itself with no land disconnection from Asia… Applying tactics of colonization & warfare she (America and her allies) now subject their own. But America is far leading the pack in policing its own people and deviation from the laws of the constitution. Thinking back to previous chapters of separation of church and state you should see the intentional frustrations put on the people to strain and weaken faith based systems.
So, what’s going on and why today is religion the target. Well…that is what I have been trying to say and paint the parallel of connection between all these agendas and events. The complete stripping of religion in the world to the acceptance of the new order; You should realize that anything that is stripped of religion (meaning absence of God) then this is the doctrine of Satan…“NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM” An accurate translation of Novus Ordos Seclorum is "A New Order of the Ages." The capstone on the pyramid is the indication of the project not being complete but has been well underway for a long time with the near completion. The eye inside is of the capstone is the eye of the One Eyed Ad’ Dajjal (the false prophet & god, in which he claims one in the beginning then the later). Ad’ Dajjal simply means “the liar” but to English speaking people this is relevant to the anti-Christ…The prophet said that before the hour (the hour the horn is blown), that there would be 30 Ad’Dajjal’s that would come all doing their smaller parts of evil, but the Last of them would be Satan’s prized Great Messiah Ad’ Dajjal who would come out and rule the world from Jerusalem claiming he is the son of Mary Prophet Esa a.s. then he would proclaim himself God. He would be given permission by Allah to carry out different test upon the people in which many would be compelled to believe in him & follow. Every prophet has always warned their nations about Ad’ Dajjal because of the severe trials he would cause. But the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. said that he was given something in addition to the other prophets about the Ad’ Dajjal because the Prophet’s (Muhammad) coming is so close to the end and he is the Seal the Prophet hood. He was told that he is one eyed; that his right eye is like a bulging grape in some narrations and that his left eye is normal. In addition he was shown his physical description, and the word kfr (kafr, which means disbeliever) would appear on his forehead to any believer.
Of the many, many ahadith and sermons of the prophet about Akhira-Azam (the end times) I offer you these …
Hadith - Bukhari 9.241, Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar
Allah's Apostle stood up amongst the people and then praised and glorified Allah as He deserved and then he mentioned Ad-Dajjal, saying, "I warn you of him, and there was no prophet but warned his followers of him; but I will tell you something about him which no prophet has told his followers: Ad-Dajjal is one-eyed whereas Allah is not."
Hadith - Bukhari 9.504, Narrated Abdullah
Ad-Dajjal was mentioned in the presence of the Prophet . The Prophet said, "Allah is not hidden from you; He is not one-eyed," and pointed with his hand towards his eye, adding, "While Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal is blind in the right eye and his eye looks like a protruding grape."
Hadith - Bukhari 9.245, Narrated Anas
The Prophet said, "No prophet was sent but that he warned his followers against the one-eyed liar (Ad-Dajjal). Beware! He is blind in one eye, and your Lord is not so, and there will be written between his (Ad-Dajjal's) eyes (the word) Kafir (i.e., disbeliever)." (This Hadith is also quoted by Abu Huraira and Ibn 'Abbas).
Hadith - Bukhari 9.237, Narrated Abu Huraira
Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established
(1) till two big groups fight each other whereupon there will be a great number of casualties on both sides and they will be following one and the same religious doctrine, when the Christians abandon foolish pride in the face of pure FACTS… Jesus is a prophet of Allah then what we have is the same doctrine calling to the worship of one ILah (Allah/God)…2billion Christians against 2billion Muslim is what is happening today…
(2) Till about thirty Dajjals (liars) appear, and each one of them will claim that he is Allah's Apostle, is this not the case today? Many people have come about claiming to be the Messiah Esa Ibn Mariam a.s. and these are referred to be the minor-ad dajjals’ or “minor liars”, but the Ad’Dajjal will be the “One Eyed Zionist Jew”.
(3) Till the religious knowledge is taken away (by the death of religious scholars) is this not the case today?
(4) Earthquakes will increase in number, is this not the case today?
(5) Time will pass quickly; is this not the case today?
(6) Afflictions will appear, is this not the case today?
(7) Al-Harj, (i.e., killing) will increase, is this not the case today?
(8) till wealth will be in abundance--so abundant that a wealthy person will worry lest nobody should accept his Zakat (charity), and whenever he will present it to someone, that person (to whom it will be offered) will say, 'I am not in need of it,' Scholars said this took place during the Caliph of ‘Uthman Ibn Afan r.a (3rd generation after the death of the prophet) when the Muslims had so much wealth that the zakat (charity from everyone’s wealth 2.5.% to distribute to the poor) was rejected because wealth had spread to everyone…
(9) Till the people compete with one another in constructing high buildings, is this not the case today? Look at Dubai…
(10) Till a man when passing by a grave of someone will say, 'Would that I was in his place,' is this not the case today? Hasn’t the suicide rate increased dramatically in western countries?
(11) And till the sun rises from the West.
So when the sun will rise and the people will see it (rising from the West) they will all believe (embrace Islam) but that will be the time when: (As Allah said,) 'No good will it do to a soul to believe then, if it believed not before, nor earned good (by deeds of righteousness) through its Faith.' (6.158) And the Hour will be established while two men spreading a garment in front of them but they will not be able to sell it, nor fold it up; and the Hour will be established when a man has milked his she-camel and has taken away the milk but he will not be able to drink it; and the Hour will be established before a man repairing a tank (for his livestock) is able to water (his animals) in it; and the Hour will be established when a person has raised a morsel (of food) to his mouth but will not be able to eat it."
Hadith - Bukhari 9.245, Narrated Abu Said
One day Allah's Apostle narrated to us a long narration about Ad-Dajjal and among the things he narrated to us, was: "Ad-Dajjal will come, and he will be forbidden to enter the mountain passes of Medina. He will encamp in one of the salt areas neighboring Medina and there will appear to him a man who will be the best or one of the best of the people. He will say 'I testify that you are Ad-Dajjal whose story Allah's Apostle has told us.' Ad-Dajjal will say (to his audience), 'Look, if I kill this man and then give him life, will you have any doubt about my claim?' They will reply, 'No,' Then Ad-Dajjal will kill that man and then will make him alive. The man will say, 'By Allah, now I recognize you more than ever!' Ad-Dajjal will then try to kill him (again) but he will not be given the power to do so."
Hadith - Bukhari 9.247, Narrated Huraira
Allah's Apostle said, "There are angels at the mountain passes of Medina (so that) neither plague nor Ad-Dajjal can enter it.
Many strong ahadith seem to be repeated at times and it’s only because there was more than one companion of the prophet who heard him say what he said…
But I really would like you to consider reading the ahadith on your own; you would be shocked to the detail of all the prophecies made, the minor signs to the end of time (which have ALL come to pass) and the 10 Major signs which we are now on the cusp of taking place. WW3, Armageddon; prophesied by the prophet s.a.w said that it would in fact begin with Iraq and be a series of small wars until it reaches the big War. Iraq took place years ago now with no close to war to this day, and since then we have seen constant wars, this is where we are today…In addition to the published wars America and her partners are involved directly or by influence in many smaller wars taking place in the Philippines, Cashmere, Malaysia, Mali, Sudan, Kenya, Somalia, Yemen, Libya where Muslim populations are being demonized in the media and falsely accused for themselves being attacked for being Muslim by mobs within their own lands. There is a worldwide war on Islam not terror although they would have you believe that because the television is very convincing to you. They know you don’t read, and they know how to provoke the emotions of a people to selfish, nationalistic views but you have to know there is another side to the story being told. There are nearly 2 billion Muslims on the planet and so the propaganda to discredit and falsely accuse in the name of terrorism is a lie. America/Israel backing the propaganda; insight other co-operating countries with Muslim populations to alienate & subject them by any means. Israel is plotting to provoke Iran which will definitely provoke WW3…In the meantime everything is taking place to position for war. China is unloading the dollars she holds in her own arms race, foreign aid, and naval maneuvering in South China Sea/South Pacific; The West has influenced many countries formerly part of the Soviet Union to join the European Union most recently the activity in Ukraine all being done to isolate Russia…Always before the World Wars there’s economic warfare. World Wars change dominant influence….Just in case you forgot; WW1 made Britain world dominant, WW2 made America dominant, and WW3 will make Israel the dominant state and this is the motivation of Israel to not make any deals with Palestine or Iran. This is the ushering in of the Anti-Christ to take his place in Israel (Zionist leadership).
Remember Albert Pike and the book he wrote outlining the events to bring about the final war, WW3? Well, this is the aim of the Zionist movement in the readying the world for the arrival of the Dajjal. The Jews, not all of them have long forgotten the Torah and have since their days in Babylon where they were enslaved under King Nebunakanesar (Bukhtenasser in Arabic) and cut off from the teachings of the Torah, they wrote the Talmud in Babylon. (70 Jewish Rabbi’s) (http://www.sacred-texts.com/jud/talmud.htm) (“The Babylonian Talmud”, translated by Michael Rodkinson 1918 some criticism about the writer, but would you expect anything else when writing about the Jews?)
The Zionist government has also been digging under the Mosque Aqsa for archaeological finds or relics’ of the past of which most were gathered after the death of Solomon a.s. and during the years of crusade where the Knights Templar are said to have begun the deviation from Christianity’s’ true teaching and begun to take the Jewish magic of the Kabbalah, and that learned in the days of Babylon.
Masjid Al-Aqsa was built by Yacub A.S. (Jacob Ibn Isaac Ibn Ibrahim) and was the second house of worship built for Allah on Earth 40years after the first House the Kaaba located in Mecca, Saudi Arabia who his Grand Father Ibrahim a.s with son Isma’il a.s built… (When Abraham took Hajjar r.a, his wife Sarah’s servant, to the barren land with his first child Isma’il that place was the exact place the city of Mecca now is. Nothing was there but Hajjar and Isma’il a.s., worried of Starvation and thirst Allah provided a spring to Hajjar & Isma’il a.s. that if she had not enclosed it with earth out of fear of losing it trying to puddle and collect as much as she could, the prophet Muhammad s.a.w. said Allah would have allowed it to become a mighty river…this water today is known as Zam Zam and until this day the well provides drink to those who attend the hajj. There are also miraculous characteristics about the water that I leave up to you to research…
The water now springing to the surface constantly, Bedouins in the dessert have learned to be attentive to were birds land because there will be water oasis. So, this brought the Bedouins tribes and the slow population of the city began. Called Bakka in those days (and this city name is in the Bible as well as Yathrib which is Medina-Ul-Nabi the city of the prophet or Medina in short)) it is the house Ibrahim was ordered to build after the test of sacrificing his son Isma’il. The hajj was first pronounced by Ibrahim A.S. to all people and this is why mecca became a major trading post from the people from all over the known world meeting there during the hajj season. This ritual and story is repeated every year during the Hajj from Ibrahim until now…
Most people don’t realize when they read the Bible the Ancient names of Countries and cities. When Moses crossed the Red Sea he entered what is today Saudi Arabia where the Arab people then were idol worshipers and this idol worship influenced the Samiri amongst the people of Moses to build a golden calf to worship after being lead out of Egypt by Allah. Actually some scholars have said that the actual crossing of Moses and his people took place where the Red Sea narrows, and they crossed into what is today Yemen and then traveled North along the coast of Saudi Arabia where they would pass through the regions of Mecca then a land of Idol worship & Medina. Sinai is on the Border of Saudi Arabia and the land bridge of Egypt to Saudi Arabia and south border of Israel; so their wondering in the desert of 40yrs and Moses’ Sinai visit are all relevant to this area…
Historical Country Names:
· Abyssinia & Cush today is called Ethiopia
The Ethiopian Empire spans a geographical area of today Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Djibouti,and included parts of Northern Somalia, Southern Egypt, Eastern Sudan, Yemen and Western Saudi Arabia. Abyssinia was an empire that existed for more than 800 years, from circa 1137 (beginning of Zagwe Dynasty) until 1974 when the Ethiopian monarchy was overthrown in a coup d'etat. The Emperor who was over-thrown was Hallie Selassie I the first…His name prior to the thrown was Ras Tafari “Ras”meaning prince and his Name Tafari…Said to be a direct descendant of the Sabaians(of Yemen who spread to Ethiopia) whom the Queen of Sheba comes from; his name gives recognition to the Religious group Rastafarians whom is attributed to Marcus Garvey and popularized by Bob Marley…
Islam and Saba as well as Abyssinia all have very close ties…the migrants from mecca fleeing percussion from the idol worshipping tribes of mecca, on the Prophet Muhammad’s s.a.w. orders they went to Abyssinia to seek refuge with the Christian King Negasshi r.a…When a famous companion of the Prophet s.a.w. read Surah Mariam from the Quran to him he accepted the message of Islam the new prophet and his revelation. The Story of Saba the land of Sheba is told a little later with The Story of Solomon a.s….

The Rock (middle Picture), that is now housed in the Mosque called the “The Dome of the Rock”(first picture), is the special place of ascension and miraculous events…Both Aqsa and the Rock where part of the same palace under Sulaiman a.s. who extended and expanded the previous house of worship of Yacub a.s.. After Esa Ibn Mariam a.s. and the start of Roman occupation in the holy land, the proxy king Herod, wars, and crusades the original palace is no longer, only the west wall remains(third picture)…
The greatest trick the devil (Satan) ever played on humanity was to fool everyone into the belief that he didn’t exist…Even in previous generations who had prophets walking amongst them he was able to play on the doubt people had. Satan has all the time in the world, and for him we have to realize he knows the creator, he used to be an Abdullah (slave of Allah, which means an obedient worshiper & acknowledger of the creator). Shaitan had very good characteristics before his decision to disobey the command of Allah, and now he uses those same characteristics for getting human beings to follow him by his subtle whispers to do immoral and prohibited things. The evil human beings do is either from three ways:
1) The foremost thing Shaitan tries to make someone do is Kufr (disbelief) and if not kufr then Shirk (associate partners to Allah). Disbelief is self-explanatory and either a person believes or they don’t so if this doesn’t work he puts into action the other half of this Great sin by getting the person to associate partners to Allah. Now, this is not as simple as it sounds…Partners here doesn’t imply that its only people, but this association of partners applies to anything that is worshipped WITH or IN PLACE of the creator.
For Example:
The most Common and infamous associations are the worship of created things. These are but not limited to: Jesus Ibn Mariam a.s. who Is The Messiah & Messenger/Prophet of Allah; His mission having an intercession/break if you will meaning the fulfillment of his message to Banu Israel (children of Israel) is complete, but his mission as Messiah is yet to come with his return in killing the Ad Dajjal (The one eyed liar who will call himself Jesus the prophet and later promote himself to be Rabukum (Your Lord God) before the True Esa Ibn Mariam a.s. returns).
His Mother the Blessed Virgin Mary (Mariam Bint Imran a.s.) who was give the news of this great blessing of the messiah to be called Esa Ibn Mariam a.s. by Jabril a.s. (Arch Angel Gabriel, gods messenger (also called the holy spirit) deliverer of revelation to the prophets).
Satan himself, Pagan Gods (Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, Thor, etc.), Egyptian Pharaoh, Animals like the Cow, Elephant, Big Cats, Bears, Birds, Trees, Rivers, Idols of all sorts (sculptures/statues) Moon, Sun, Stars and Fire…and today Money. All of this worship to created things is not accepted and Allah has warned people of doing such an act in all his revelation…the first two of the ten commandments:
The Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:2-17 NKJV)
1) “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me.
2) “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My Commandments.
When this was presented to Musa a.s. people were inclined to making idols while in the wilderness which we have established this to be modern day Saudi Arabia, and so it is addressed in the commandments. Taken literal or metaphorically these laws apply to the creation of anything in the place of the ONE true God.
The human mind is unable to comprehend the unseen in reality and live upon the earth. This is the case of Moses’ fainting atop Mount Sinai when he asked to see Allah. He Ta’ala (the most high) said, “NO ONE CAN SEE ME AND LIVE” and so he told Musa to look upon the mountain and it shook so violently and fell to dust when Allah expose a very small portion of himself to it. Man sees his Lord when he leaves this world in death…not before!
This can be no clearer to anyone who reads it, except to one with arrogance & ignorance upon the state in which he or she is because of what society or fathers/mothers have passed on, which God also says about visiting the iniquity of the 3rd and 4th generations…Someone might say, it says nothing about a person, with the implication of Jesus. I would then say to you is not his mother Mariam bint Imran & Hannah A.S. (daughter of Imran a prophet and Hannah) one of God’s created people? Yessss, she was…All people are from the lineage of Adam/Eve (Banu Adam) and then Nuh a.s (Noah) who is also called the 2nd Adam because it was he and his followers who re-populated the world after the Great Flood killed everyone and everything on the earth except for whom was aboard the Ark. Created by the word of God blown upon Mariam miraculously to conceive Esa Ibn Mariam a.s., be and he was…Human being born of another human being, called son of Man (meaning being born of mankind). One similitude that should be taken into account about Esa Ibn Mariam a.s is he was born of no Father, and Eve was born of no women involvement since she was created from man (the rib of Adam), and finally Adam who had no male or female involvement which is harder still so why are they not taken in worship from both coming to be by the will & design of the creator?
So that leaves only ignorance (and by that I mean lack of genuine knowledge, not name calling) as an excuse and that is quickly solved when one reads & researches the truth for themselves with a seeking, wanting heart; also when reading scripture by understanding who is speaking, who is being spoken too and the context of ALL of what is being said and not verse(s) in isolation. Interesting side bar is take a look at this clip and see what Jews think when asked about Esa ibn Mariam a.s. and Mariam a.s. herself…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_qLq74OmEY.
But let’s take a moment to go further into the devils trick of worshipping the creation…I have already mentioned in brief “The Council of Nicea” and hoped that you would follow up on that very important event that took place which altered & made literally what Christianity is today…
In addition, I now wish to give you another source that is borrowed into to the Christianity tradition that dates back to ancient Egypt.
Yes, the story of Horus 1,000 years before Esa Ibn Mariam a.s. was born. The story put behind Jesus today, Xmas, 3 kings, manger are all borrowed from this deity of ancient Egypt. Look at the similarities:
1. Both were conceived of a virgin. (but we know the virgin birth of Esa ibn Mairam is true)
2. Both were the "only begotten son" of a god (either Osiris or Yahweh)
3.Horus's mother was Meri, Jesus's mother was Mary.
4. Horus’s foster father was called Jo-Seph, and Jesus's foster father was Joseph.
5. Both foster fathers were of royal descent.
6. Both were born in a cave (although sometimes Jesus is said to have been born in a stable).
7. Both had their coming announced to their mother by an angel.
Horus; birth was heralded by the star Sirius (the morning star). Jesus had his birth heralded by a star in the East (the sun rises in the East).
8. Ancient Egyptians celebrated the birth of Horus on December 21 (the Winter Solstice). Modern Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus on December 25.
9. Both births were announced by angels (this si nto the same as number 7).
10. Both had shepherds witnessing the birth.
11. Horus was visited at birth by "three solar deities" and Jesus was visited by "three wise men".
12. After the birth of Horus, Herut tried to have Horus murdered. After the birth of Jesus, Herod tried to have Jesus murdered.
13. To hide from Herut, the god that tells Isis, "Come, thou goddess Isis, hide thyself with thy child." To hide from Herod, an angel tells Joseph to "arise and take the young child and his mother and flee into Egypt."
14. When Horus came of age, he had a special ritual where his eye was restored. When Jesus (and other Jews) comes of age, they have a special ritual called a Bar Mitzvah.
15. Both Horus and Jesus were 12 at this coming-of-age ritual.
Neither have any official recorded life histories between the ages of 12 and 30.
16. Horus was baptized in the river Eridanus. Jesus was baptized in the river Jordan.
17. Both were baptized at age 30.
18. Horus was baptized by Anup the Baptizer. Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist.
19. Both Anup and John were later beheaded.
20. Horus was taken from the desert of Amenta up a high mountain to be tempted by his arch-rival Set. Jesus was taken from the desert in Palestine up a high mountain to be tempted by his arch-rival Satan.
21. Both Horus and Jesus successfully resist this temptation.
22. Both have 12 disciples.
23. Both walked on water, cast out demons, healed the sick and restored sight to the blind.
24. Horus "stilled the sea by his power." Jesus commanded the sea to be still by saying, "Peace, be still."
25. Horus raised his dead father (Osiris) from the grave. Jesus raised Lazarus from the grave. (Note the similarity in names when you say them out loud. Further, Osiris was also known as Asar, which is El-Asar in Hebrew, which is El-Asarus in Latin.)
26. Osiris was raised in the town of Anu. Lazarus was raised in Bethanu (literally, "house of Anu").
27. Both gods delivered a Sermon on the Mount.
28. Both were crucified.
29. Both were crucified next to two thieves.
30. Both were buried in a tomb.
31. Horus was sent to Hell and resurrected in 3 days. Jesus was sent to Hell and came back "three days" later (although Friday night to Sunday morning is hardly three days).
32. Both had their resurrection announced by women.
33. Both are supposed to return for a 1000-year reign.
34. Horus is known as KRST, the anointed one. Jesus was known as the Christ (which means "anointed one").
35. Both Jesus and Horus have been called the good shepherd, the Lamb of God, the bread of life, the son of man, the Word, the fisher, and the winnower.
36. Both are associated with the zodiac sign of Pisces (the fish).
37. Both are associated with the symbols of the fish, the beetle, the vine, and the shepherd's crook.
38. Horus was born in Anu ("the place of bread") and Jesus was born in Bethlehem ("the house of bread").
39."The infant Horus was carried out of Egypt to escape the wrath of Typhon. The infant Jesus was carried into Egypt to escape the wrath of Herod. Concerning the infant Jesus, the New Testament states the following prophecy: 'Out of Egypt have I called my son.'"
40. Both were transfigured on the mount.
41. The catacombs of Rome have pictures of the infant Horus being held by his mother, not unlike the modern-day images of "Madonna and Child."
Noted English author C. W. King says that both Isis and Mary are called "Immaculate".
42. Horus says: "Osiris, I am your son, come to glorify your soul, and to give you even more power." And Jesus says: "Now is the Son of Man glorified and God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in him, God will glorify the Son in himself, and will glorify him at once."
Horus was identified with the Tau (cross).
Coincidence??? Oh how you might want to dismiss it as such…but 1000yr prior to Christ and we find ourselves faced with hard facts adapted into the modern story. Way too many accurate similarities; we know the story of Esa ibn Marian a.s. the blessed prophet of Allah to be true of his birth, and his miracles by Allah’s permission to convince the people that he was a Prophet. (Another side bar, all prophets were given miracles to perform upon their people to convince them of the prophet hood placed upon them. The miracles they performed were of that of the times they lived. With Musa the people were heavily taken by magic that is why his miracles disproved the magic of the magicians by his staff (a live snake) ate the rope tricks opposing him. With Esa ibn Mariam a.s. medicine and medicinal methods of healing were on the rise and thus his miracles of healing the blind, lame, deaf, leprous, and even bringing the dead back were all to convince the people.
But there is more, the Winter & Spring solstice mark periods of the year that pagan people who worshiped the sun took notice of along with the alignment of stars etc. The Great pyramids and in alignment with Orion’s belt for example. The story of the 3 kings who followed the brightest star in the sky to which the baby Jesus was to be found is actually the solstice that takes place on December 21st and after three nights marks the place “Rising of the Sun” on December 25th but gives contribute to “the resurrection of the SON” after the 3 day.
Figure 21 3 kings point to the brightest star which points to the direction of the rising sun 25 December
What occurs in the night sky on the on December 22nd, 23rd, & 24th is the Southern Cross as shown in the picture below. This should now provide you with the symbolisms borrowed into the identifying the faith.
Figure 22 Constellation of Southern Cross on 22, 23 and 24 December
You HAVE TO RESEARCH all of this yourself…you owe it yourself, your families, those whom you try to pass on the faith to know the whole truth and not to just except something that has long been hijacked from the mythology and astrology of ancient Egypt. A link has been provided in the work cited page, so you can study the Theosophy in relation to the Christian Story. When you understand this you will also understand why the Council of Nicaea took place when the Roman Emperor adapted the religion to the empire…to appease everyone in the empire the mythologies and astronomy had to be incorporated into the original doctrine. This is the just of what took place and later in the 15th century the split of the church lead by Martin Luther and the capital of Christendom split one in Rome (which the pope now heads in the Vatican) and that which remained in Constantinople referred to as the Byzantine Empire (today Istanbul, Turkey).
Struggling to hold the faith together, today you see the Christian faith especially in Europe has diminished to a fading memory of a generation ago who were unlike their children raised in blind following. With the changes to the middle class, the social & economic orders the younger generations growing up influenced now by everything under the sun, ASK QUESTIONS… and when those questions can’t be answered they turn to other sources…The evidences have always been with us, but frequently distracted or just given into the keeping harmony with the majority people choose as they do…
Today digging into the works of old scientist like Sir Isaac Newton works in science are uncovering some secrets that were overlooked by many during his time. Many of his old manuscripts and records bought by the economist John Maynard Keynes, in 1936 are today being studied. Researchers have found that Newton owned more than 30 bibles, and that he wrote more about religious based works than all his other mathematical and alchemy works combined. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdmhPfGo3fE. In fact, at one period of time while attending Cambridge University in Britain he was ordered to enroll into the clergy which he himself opposed. The main reason for his opposition was due to the fact of the Trinity concept of Jesus and God being one…he opposed the fact and went on to support his opposition because of scientific experiments that brought truth to the orbits of the planets around the sun. In addition to orbiting the sun he was also able to understand that the forces of gravity are stronger on objects closest the sun, and thus discovered the elliptical orbiting patterns of the planets debunking the spherical orbital paths thought of by predecessors like Galileo and the likes. He then went on to state the presence of an all intelligent force or being present in all manners of motion and action throughout the Universe rebutting the theory of a machine like construct of the Universe all working in harmony something along the order of the internal workings of a clock... Instead everything was working independently, and that the motions were the involvement of forces or a will applied to those individual bodies. The cannon ball theory is the most prominent example: Assuming a cannibal atop a high mountain shoots a cannon ball at low velocity the cannon ball upon leaving the cannon would be exposed to gravity which would act on the ball pulling it to the ground fairly quickly. But when fired at higher and higher velocities that same ball would travel further and further before falling to the ground….Until such a velocity is reached that the ball is set into orbit, which it would remain for infinite…This principle is applied today in sending satellites and rockets into space.
Figure 23 Newton's theory of gravity
So, science today is re-examining the works of pioneering researchers and scientist of the past it is beginning to uncover the direct relationships between science and religion…Something that the bible is in contradiction with, but everything that the Quran explains…Religion should explain Science since Allah/God is the source. The Quran does this well… (http://www.miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_index.html).
Many references exist in the Quran about the differences in nature between stars, as generating light, and planets, as reflecting light.
Surah 25, Ayah 61 "Blessed is He who made constellations in the skies, and placed therein a lamp, and a moon giving light."
Surah 71, Ayah 16 "And (He) made the moon a light in their midst, and made the sun as a (glorious) lamp."
The Quran makes clear a distinction between the sun and the moon. The sun is referred to in many verses as a lamp, which is a device that generates light, heat, and radiation. The Quranic choice of the word "lamp" is an incredibly accurate representation of the sun, regardless of the difference in the light producing process. The moon is referred to as an object in the sky that is lighted up (a light), but it does not generate light by itself.
Newton shocked the scientific world on 19 February 1672 with the publication, in the Royal Society's journal Philosophical Transactions, of his 'New Theory about Light and Colors'. Here he performs a series of experiments that would prove White Light is in fact the embodiment of all colors of light. Using a prism he shoots sunlight through it to expose all the individual colors of our rainbow…to confirm that white light was in fact the source of all colors he then tries to pass those individual colors through prisms of their own which to his surprise remained the same on exit; thus confirming the sun is the source of all colors and light as we know it…
In a reference to the planets, Allah says:
Surah 24, Ayah 35 "Allah is the Light of heavens and the earth. The parable of His Light is as if there were a niche and within it a lamp. The lamp enclosed in glass: the glass as it were a brilliant star (planet)"
The actual Arabic word in the above Ayah is planet; however the English translation refers to the planet as star. The glass by itself does not shine. But when the light comes into it, it reflects the light and shines like a brilliant star. This glorious parable of the Light of Allah contains layer upon layer of transcendent truth of spiritual mysteries. No statements can do adequate justice to its full meaning. The physical light is but a reflection of the true Light in the world of Reality and that true Light is Allah. We can only think of Allah in terms of our own phenomenal experience, and the phenomenal world; light is the purest thing we know.
Surah Noor ayah 35 اللَّهُ نُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ مَثَلُ نُورِهِ كَمِشْكَاةٍ فِيهَا مِصْبَاحٌ الْمِصْبَاحُ فِي زُجَاجَةٍ الزُّجَاجَةُ كَأَنَّهَا كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّيٌّ يُوقَدُ مِن شَجَرَةٍ مُّبَارَكَةٍ زَيْتُونِةٍ لَّا شَرْقِيَّةٍ وَلَا غَرْبِيَّةٍ يَكَادُ زَيْتُهَا يُضِيءُ وَلَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْهُ نَارٌ نُّورٌ عَلَى نُورٍ يَهْدِي اللَّهُ لِنُورِهِ مَن يَشَاء وَيَضْرِبُ اللَّهُ الْأَمْثَالَ لِلنَّاسِ وَاللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ
God is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His light is, as it were, that of a niche containing a lamp; the lamp is [enclosed] in glass, the glass [shining] like a radiant star: [a lamp] lit from a blessed tree - an olive-tree that is neither of the east nor of the west the oil whereof [is so bright that it] would well-nigh give light [of itself] even though fire had not touched it: light upon light! God guides unto His light him that wills [to be guided]; and [to this end] God propounds parables unto men, since God [alone] has full knowledge of all things.
In the Arabic the word lamp is Misbah (also underlined in the above verse), this today is the modern Light Bulb…Before the electric light bulb there was that of the oil lamp which gives reverence to the olive tree in the verse for the oil of the olive was a source of fuel for lighting the lamp…So long before the actual invention of the light bulb its existence is mentioned in the Quran by the creator although it had yet to manifest itself centuries later an attributed to Thomas Edison…
اللَّهُ نُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ
"Allahu noorus samawate wal ard" "Allah is the Light of the heavens and earth"
The whole ayah (verse) consists of a few parts, the first part is one of Allah stating His position i.e. Allah is the light of the heavens and earth. In the Holy Quran "Samaa wate wal ard" "heavens and earth" is generally used to mean "universe" Thus the verse can also mean "Allah is the light of the universe".
Light here is used in the normal human usage, something that makes other things visible, "its dark turn the light on". Without light one cannot see in darkness. Very simple usage of words, yet extremely powerful in meaning, i.e. Allah is that light that removes Darkness in all its senses.
Also, Ignorance is darkness and knowledge is light. Allah is the source of all knowledge, and Knower of All things and the knowledge of reality and Guidance can only be obtained from Him. All guidance by way of Knowledge came from Him and that removed the darkness of misguidance.
Therefore the word Light is used for Allah in the absolute sense.
Equilibrium and Orbits
The equilibrium of the universe is referred to in the following short Ayat:
Surah 55, Ayah 5-7 "The sun and the moon follow courses (exactly) computed; and the star and the trees - both (alike) bow in adoration. And the Firmament has He raised high, and He has set up the Balance (of Justice)"
In the great mathematical universe, there are great mathematical laws that require calculations. We now understand that these Ayat refer to the laws discovered by Kepler and Newton. These laws bear witness to Allah’s Wisdom and also His favors to His creatures. We all benefit from the energy and light, the seasons, and the numerous changes in the tides and the atmosphere. Quranic commentators interpret the balance in the above Ayah as one of the following:
· Balance of Justice between humans.
· The heavens themselves are sustained by Divine equilibrium.
· The sun enters the Constellation Libra (the balance) at the middle of the zodiacal year.
Julian and Lunar Calendars
The Muslim calendar is based upon the moon, which revolves around the earth in periods of about 29 days. The Islamic calendar was established by the second Caliph Omar in 639 AD to begin with the new moon of the first Arabic month (Muharram) of the year in which the migration of Muhammad from Mecca to Medina took place. That first day was 16 June 622 of the Julian calendar.
Nearly fourteen centuries ago, the Quran was revealed to the Arabs in the deserts of the Arabian Peninsula, who were used to the lunar system. It was correct to address them in the only language they could understand and not to upset their habits. It is known how well versed men living in the desert are in the observation of the sky; they navigated according to the stars, and told time according to the motion of the sun and the moon. This was the simplest and the most reliable system available for them.
Most people are unaware of the perfect correlation between the Julian and the lunar calendar: 235 lunar months corresponds exactly to 19 Julian years of 365 1/4 days, (228 months). The length of our year of 365 days is not perfect because it has to be rectified every four years (with a leap year). With the lunar calendar, the same phenomena occur every 19 Julian years. The Quran refers to this relationship between the lunar and the Julian systems as follows:
Surah 18, Ayah 25 "So they stayed in their cave three hundred years and nine (more)"
The literal translation of the above Ayah replaces "and nine" by "increased by nine." This suggests that one has to be careful about each word or letter in the Quran. The latest calculation of the lunar month is 29.53059 days. Therefore, the lunar year is 12 x 29.53059 = 354.36708 days. This means that 300 Julian year (300x365.25= 109575 days) is equivalent to 309 lunar years (354.36708x309= 109499.43). This is a miraculous accuracy. Therefore the above Ayah can be explained as "So they stayed in their cave three hundred solar years, and increased by nine lunar years". This is just an amazing revelation from the Creator of time. Only Allah knows the exact time of any event in any reference of time.
In addition scientists have found the Golden Number, known as Phi, the Golden Ratio, Golden Section, Golden Proportion, Golden Mean or the Divine Proportion, and its mathematical cousin the Fibonacci sequence (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 …) which is the preceding two numbers make the next number in sequence. This ratio 1.68 shows up in everything in creation absolutely everything…because of this scientist have concluded that everything has a common creator who created everything… Phi Constant 1.618, superior design number of mathematics. The Creator has always used the very same number in numerous events in the universe; in our heart pulses, the aspect ratio of DNA spiral, in the special design of the universe called dodecahedron, in the leaf array rules of plants called phylotaxy, in the snow flake crystals, in the spiral structure of numerous galaxies. The Creator used the same number; the number of golden ratio which is 1.618.
It is determined that this ratio has been used for the design of various reputable architectural structures, even including Pyramids in Egypt. Famous astronomer Kepler defined this number as a great treasury. Numerous famous painters, engineers and architects, like Leonardo Da Vinci, have been using this ratio in their works of art for hundreds of years.
As a result of his 25 years long study, aesthetician Dr. Steven Mark out proves that each of human faces and bodies, created pursuant to this ratio, are completely beautiful. If the relative ratio is 1.618 for the components of any structure, then this form will be convenient to Golden Ratio, the perfect design.
The number of petals in a flower consistently follows the Fibonacci sequence. Famous examples include the lily, which has three petals, buttercups, which have five (pictured at left), the chicory's 21, the daisy's 34, and so on. Phi appears in petals on account of the ideal packing arrangement as selected by Darwinian processes; each petal is placed at 0.618034 per turn (out of a 360° circle) allowing for the best possible exposure to sunlight and other factors.
The Fibonacci sequence can also be seen in the way tree branches form or split. A main trunk will grow until it produces a branch, which creates two growth points. Then, one of the new stems branches into two, while the other one lies dormant. This pattern of branching is repeated for each of the new stems. A good example is the sneezewort. Root systems and even algae exhibit this pattern.
Not surprisingly, spiral galaxies also follow the familiar Fibonacci pattern. The Milky Way has several spiral arms, each of them a logarithmic spiral of about 12 degrees. As an interesting aside, spiral galaxies appear to defy Newtonian physics. As early as 1925, astronomers realized that, since the angular speed of rotation of the galactic disk varies with distance from the center, the radial arms should become curved as galaxies rotate. Subsequently, after a few rotations, spiral arms should start to wind around a galaxy. But they don't — hence the so-called winding problem. The stars on the outside, it would seem, move at a velocity higher than expected — a unique trait of the cosmos that helps preserve its shape.
Faces, both human and nonhuman, abound with examples of the Golden Ratio. The mouth and nose are each positioned at golden sections of the distance between the eyes and the bottom of the chin. Similar proportions can been seen from the side, and even the eye and ear itself (which follows along a spiral).
It's worth noting that every person's body is different, but that averages across populations tend towards phi. It has also been said that the more closely our proportions adhere to phi, the more "attractive" those traits are perceived. As an example, the most "beautiful" smiles are those in which central incisors are 1.618
Even our body’s exhibit proportions that is consistent with Fibonacci numbers. For example, the measurement from the navel to the floor and the top of the head to the navel is the golden ratio. Animal bodies exhibit similar tendencies, including dolphins (the eye, fins and tail all fall at Golden Sections), starfish, sand dollars, sea urchins, ants, and honey bees.
There is one unique verse in Qur'an that includes the word Mecca and an expression that mentions clear evidences within the city which will grant faith to humanity. The relation between the City of Mecca and the Golden Ratio is clearly engraved in Surah Al- Imran (chapter of Quran) 96th verse. The total number of letters of this verse is 47. Calculating the golden ratio of total letters, they find out that the word of Mecca is implied; 47 / 1,618 = 29.0. There are 29 letters from the beginning of the verse till the word, Mecca just as in the world map. If only one single word or letter was missing, this ratio could never been constituted. Without pushing the limits, they have conducted the very same process that was conducted on world map and witnessed the glorious coherence of number of letters that reveals the relation of Mecca and Golden Ratio. Discoveries regarding the relation between Golden Ratio, Mecca, Kaaba and Qur'an have been increasing day by day. In the figure, it is indicated that measurements by golden ratio compass that is also known as Leonardo compass, prove that Mecca city is located on the Golden Ratio Point of Arabia while Kaaba is located on the Golden Ratio of Mecca City. According to probability calculations, all these proofs cannot be incidental.
2). If the person can’t be driven to disbelief or to the worship of created things he Shaitan whispers to the person’s heart, and the beautification of the prohibited and ease to committing the wrong things are put before us…One example would obviously be that of fornication (un-wed sexual relations). I mention this because we live in an age of hyper-sexual age and it’s the most natural yet strongest attraction upon mankind. Think about how strong the crushes you had on someone, or how beautiful that person appeared to you to the point that nothing or no one could change your mind about them. Then one day you find that the circumstances have afforded you some time alone with this person. The passion & lust felt are very intense blocking all reasoning and sane thought, so compelled to act upon the circumstances many fall into this trap and afterwards feel the shame. This physical temptation traps the old & young boundless to age…people of all ages are seduced. That’s because whenever two are alone (male & female) shaitan is the 3rd seducing right up until we act upon it and then he leaves which is the fade of the passion/lust of the moment. This is why it is said body temperature increases etc. because of his presence. There’s a deeper understanding to this, God willing will be touched upon later. There are a variety of things we have all done, that we have felt regret after. I don’t think any human being upon the earth is without feeling this and because it happens people seek forgives not from the creator but from confession to men or intermediaries…this falsehood leads people to think that forgiveness is inevitable in this way by buying it or by the a man telling you he will intercede on your behalf who is also not without sin of his own…This was one of the reasons to the break of the Christian church. Read the following comment:
Although reformers had many complaints about the Catholic Church of the 16th century, the practice of selling "indulgences" raised the most opposition. An indulgence was a payment to the Catholic Church that purchased an exemption from punishment (penance) for some types of sins. You could not get an indulgence to excuse a murder, but you could get one to excuse many lesser sins, such as thinking lustful thoughts about someone who was not your spouse. The customers for indulgences were Catholic believers who feared that if one of their sins went unnoticed or unconfessed, they would spend extra time in purgatory before reaching heaven or worse, wind up in hell for failing to repent.
The sale of indulgences was a by-product of the Crusades in the 12th and 13th centuries. Because they risked dying without the benefit of a priest to perform the appropriate ceremonies, Crusaders were promised immediate salvation if they died while fighting to "liberate" the Christian holy city at Jerusalem. Church leaders justified this by arguing that good works earned salvation, and making Jerusalem accessible to Christians was an example of a good work. Over time, Church leaders decided that paying money to support good works was just as good as performing good works, and it evened things up for people who were physically incapable of fighting a Crusade. Over several centuries, the practice expanded, and Church leaders justified it by arguing that they had inherited an unlimited amount of good works from Jesus, and the credit for these good works could be sold to believers in the form of indulgences. In other words, indulgences functioned like "confession insurance" against eternal damnation because, if you purchased an indulgence, then you wouldn't go to hell if you died suddenly or forgot to confess something.
In later years, the sale of indulgences spread to include forgiveness for the sins of people who were already dead. That is evident in this passage from a sermon by John Tetzel, the monk who sold indulgences in Germany and inspired Martin Luther's protest in 1517.
Read, “Against the Sale of Indulgences”, by Martin Luther by Jim Jones, West Chester University of Pennsylvania (c.2012) http://courses.wcupa.edu/jones/his101/web/37luther.htm.
3) A person is so used to obeying their desires so shaitan tries getting you to fall deeper & deeper by chasing desires, from this habits are grown, and eventually the wrong things begin to appear to us as being ok especially when we believe that we aren’t hurting anyone or have partnership in do the wrong things…This is also referred to as an inverting of the heart; when the person now takes the wrong to be correct and the correct to be wrong. Personal philosophies and slogans to live by become testament and thus people do whatever they wish employing these philosophies of the age… This is dangerous because this person has no conscious to what they are doing and sees prohibited things through hypnotic addiction. Addiction robs us of choice…you are now obedient to the preservation of the addiction and its fulfillment. Blind following and enabled support in doing wrong all contribute to this mindset. This is why a lot of cultures including the system of Islam subdue society in the way of public sin and committing vulgar things in public. Take the dress of woman for example. When woman are encourage to dress less showing their shapes and adornment openly the paradigm is limitless…what this means is woman will always be pushed to remove more and more, fashion designs will then cater to the concept, and men will become more and more vicious in power struggles in order to attract to themselves from being in a constant state of arousal. Society living constantly in a drunken lustful state…Men will then look at woman from a lust fulfilling perspective and woman will see the material benefit and use their adornment to get what they want. Both are being rob of the natural order that should be between them. Marriages based on looks and sex take place or material wealth, and with time decay into hateful divorces and bitterness between people & the sexes. Sexuality being turned on its head from this redundant battle woman look towards women for comfort, and men do the same when the appetite for women is unfulfilling anymore. Lust itself is unfulfilling and so to live by it is foolish…
The Television in my opinion has been the #1 therapist in doping the mass to sleep. In nature like: lying, cheating, violence, sex, drugs, smoking, materialism, bad language, etc. Other sins are less noticeable but nonetheless all small things will eventually add up. When we start fires we don’t begin by lighting the larger logs to the fire first; instead you gather some tender which will ignite quickly and you place it under the logs until the fire catches them (in an authentic hadith of our Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. (narration), that there was a group of people who went to the desert where they wanted to make a fire. Each of them found little pieces of wood, which they collected together, and thus they were able to make the fire. The Prophet ﷺ said that this is how minor sins work. They keep throwing the minor sin on the pile until it becomes a major sin. That’s why the scholars said that if someone persists in committing a minor sin it will become a major sin over time).
Thus we begin to see the evil done in the land and on sea; everywhere man takes himself, without being aware of the truth we are falling subject to Shaitan every day, and some of us most of the time in a day.
Since the beginning of time the jealously of Shaitan (Satan) towards our father Adam and Mother Ha’wah (eve) has been to cause chaos and take mankind out of the blissful state of obedience to our creator and thus take as many human beings to the eternal punishment of hell with him. His project of destruction has LONG, LONG been underway; but with the separation of church and state, the selling of indulges, idols, and worship of created things as gods man has lost sight of the truth and rightfully punished with Satan’s successes in his agenda. We find a way to complicate everything by focusing on our differences, philosophies, lack of personal responsibility to be knowledgeable and to actively participate in keeping the truth in the forefront. Today people don’t even know the truth when they see it or hear it, and some arrogantly will just turn away because they are so engrossed in serving themselves. We mankind, can only fight an enemy like Shaitan by understanding who he is, what he is, and more importantly who he is not. Let’s begin with who he is not…Non-Muslims believe to understand that Shaitan is an Angel, who created by the creator was once beautiful & very good in his obedience to the creator until that defining moment in which he was cursed and cast out to the lowest abode then void of anything, the earth. I would like to say something not in speculation but by tons and tons of reading…and observance…All of the false stories embody something of the truth at its core conception!!! Everything man does to create something he borrows from something that is the source. In the creation of Cars, Movies, fashion, you don’t see large gaps of deviance from one to the other and very little originality and the same is true even in religion…Allah Al-Khaliq (the creator) is the only one who can create from nothing and being the case you see why mankind never creates but instead re-creates or finds what has been put here for us already by the one who knows all…
Shaitan is NOT an Angel #1. Angels are amongst the creation of Allah whom they have not chosen for themselves the ability of “free will”. They are instead only given instructions and they carry those instructions out without disobedience. Angels are also created of light, but have by the permission of the creator appeared unto man in human form. Why? Allahu Alim (Allah knows best), but in the case of Jabril a.s. through the blessed mouth of Nabi Muhammad s.a.w said that Jabril a.s. is so Huge that his feet are on the lowest earth and his head is in the heavens and his wings (600) are outstretched from the east and west he is seen in every part of the horizon. In seeing this he s.a.w fell unconscious…Being the case just maybe it’s appropriate for them to take human form to carry out Allah’s commands with the Prophets without scaring them. Also was the case when Jabril a.s appeared to Mariam a.s. as a man to inform her of the birth to be the Messiah Esa Ibn Mariam a.s; Again from the authentic ahadith (speech) from Muhammad s.a.w from his companions (suhabbah r.a) who recorded every moment of Muhammad in prophet hood (READ “The Sealed Nectar”, biography of Muhammad s.a.w. https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Sealed-Nectar-Biography-of-Prophet-Muhammad-saw/180435858674656), like that of the disciples of Esa Ibn Mariam a.s and other prophets as well all had followers whom passed the revelations and saying that were collected by oral tradition, pictures (hieroglyphs) and then later by written record.
Shaitan too has been known to take the shape of human beings and he has also taken possession of people by the permission of Allah. The only protection from him and his army is to believe in the one Allah without partnership and to refrain from the prohibited things by remaining pure the influences of Satan are less effective... Shaitan as I said is not an angel but he is a Jinn…A what you say? Jinn this is the name of his created species. The jinn are created from a smokeless fire which I mentioned the heat of passion when the male and female are alone; they are of different physical abilities i.e. some have the gift of flight, large, small etc. They have also been called: demons, ghost, leapracons, reptilians, aliens and all sorts of folklore. Like humans in our differences although none of us can fly…I wish!!! From Jinn you get the word Jinni…Do you know or remember the stories of Aladdin and the Genie in the bottle or Lamp? They rub the lamp and the Genie comes out in a smoke like manner granting the 3 wishes of the requestor…Well as I have stated before man recreates and the story of the Genie comes from the creation of the Jinn. Movie makers and producers also know the ignorance’s of people not reading and use all sources (the miraculous sayings and visions given to the prophet) to bring ideas to the screen…The recent movies of Matrix with the shape shifting twins who become transparent..
, and Avatar both had relevant association of ahadith from Prophet Muhammad s.a.w…
Hadith - Sahih Bukhari 4:474, Narrated Anas bin Malik , see also Bukhari 6:403, Quran 56:30
The Prophet said, "There is a tree in Paradise (which is so big and huge that) if a rider travels in its shade for one hundred years, he would not be able to cross it."
Other Movies have direct correlation to that of the Qur’an and Sunnah of the Prophet of which even architecture has striking resemblance in Dubai… (The Berg Tower to that of the tower of evil in The Lord of the Rings)…
Angels from light, Jinn from smokeless fire, and Insan (human beings) from clay…Jinn live for thousands of years, Shaitan himself regarded the leader of his species was awarded a position amongst the angels but not of their likeness (meaning NOT being one of them). This is where the term comes from when someone is good we often call them “an Angel” but this doesn’t have any literal implication. On the creation of Man, Satan was the first being to have prejudice refusing to bow to Adam in respect at the command of the creator with all other creation. He thinking of his source of creation “smokeless fire” as being greater than what man was created from “clay & earth”, he refused and thus the story begins.
Jinn, with men both have freedom of choice and we both inhabit the lowest creation of Allah (sammawat dunya or the Universe of Earth). They are unseen to us for the most part, however some have direct contact with them, some have taken them into worship, some seek aide from them, and others see their shadows and formations in abandoned homes or walking through our own homes. Now, the jinn are of such just like man those who follow the creator and those who don’t and have thus taken Iblis (Satan, his name) as their god in disobedience to the creator. Employing is own kind, those who follow him from mankind help in the destruction and misleading of man. Kids find it funny to perform séances with the we gee board, fortune tellers, mediums, the highest Magicians all get help from these beings but at the price of worship to them (selling of one’s soul). Watch a brief clip of Famous Musician Bob Dylan in an Interview with Ed Bradley admitting to what I have just explained to you here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqvvOD4bdRs. Musicians, actresses, athletes and politicians all seek the aid or the Jinn in becoming famous & rich etc. But it comes at a huge price that no one can turn away from once committed and helped. This is why you have witnessed an increase in baby disappearances/deaths, relatives of celebrities killed, sacrifices of all sorts, homosexual acts carried out in high profile orgies, murder, sexual acts in films, holy book burnings etc. The celebrity news is littered with such acts daily and publicized to the people as tragedy, but how much coincidence does it take before you open your eyes? Remember the game concentration when you were a kid? All the cards are face down and you have to find the pairs. After a few rounds you begin to remember the pattern as to what cards are where so the next time around you can uncover the matches…This is no different it just involves the highest stakes and often times the highest most prominent in society, and what you have forgotten about evil. The price is blood, and you can never reverse the pledge of allegiance…
Today many people who think they are religious aren’t and more so just state an affiliation to a secular set of rituals they may partake in X amount of day(s) per week. Those who say they believe really in their hearts they don’t believe…Faith is = to knowledge, the less you know the weaker your faith. This is why I am putting this information forward. People hear words on CNN Like Mujahedeen, Jihad, Salafi, Hezbollah, ikhwan, Islam, Muslim, sharia and all these words actually have good meanings in the language but we hear them high-jacked by English western world propagandist and allow ignorance coupled with fear to determine how we see and accept it. They want to take over the world…blah blah blah…We want to uncover the truth and tell the people this isn’t a fight amongst men this fight is the ultimate fight between good and evil. That time is now upon us, and everyone should come to that realization. In all cases of peace upon the earth it was only by living in accordance with the law of Allah called sharia in Arabic…This is the law given to every Messenger to give to their respective nations to govern the people according to Allah’s Law.
In cases of Nabi Dawud A.S. (David) who was also a King established his kingdom and rule with the law of Allah. Still fighting amongst rival tribes his son Sulaiman A.S. (Solomon) would be the inheritor of the kingdom and prophet hood. The uniqueness of Sulaiman a.s. was the kingdom he was given, which no other prophet had or will have after him. This kingdom wasn’t just the rule of people & thing upon the earth and countless riches as you might think of a king today. This kingdom was of the two worlds ours and the world of the jinn unseen to man. Given the control over them by a ring granted him of the creator he was able to see, speak, hear, understand etc. all of the creation of the creator from the ant to the Jinn. A remarkable endowment indeed, but one of great responsibility... The manifestation of the jinn into the realm of men from the obedience of man to Satan brought this about. Like today, the obedience to Satan is more so than to the creator, and thus you see this merging of the two worlds once again.
The jinn are often described in the likeness of Reptilians, half bird half man, half goat half man, dogs, spherical balls of light seen today as UFO’s and what people call “aliens”. All over the world you see drawings of these creatures on walls, buildings, etc.
Figure 24common alien depiction
Figure 25 alien depiction in Africa
As you know the sightings have been endless and they have occurred all over the world. In fact, it has occurred so frequently that most people today believe in aliens. The belief in aliens is not so bad, because the creator creates what he wishes; the danger lies in that man has taken this alien unto himself in serving them etc. when they are only seeking to carry out the destruction of mankind. We often see celebrities and very wealthy people depressed an addicted to alcohol, drugs or committing suicide because they are in servitude to something that is beyond themselves and death is the only way out. Death being the only way, is just the beginning of the suffering because to die in partnership to anything other than the creator is the only sin Allah says he will not forgive…as stated in the 10 commandments, commandments #1 & #2…and Qur’an:
"He is God; there is no god but He, He is the Knower of the unseen and the visible; He is the All-Merciful, the All-Compassionate. He is God; there is no God but He. He is the King, the All-Holy, the All-Peace, the Guardian of Faith, the All-Preserver, the All-Mighty, the All-Compeller, the All-Sublime. Glory be to God, above that they associate! He is God the Creator, the Maker, the Shaper. To Him belong the Names Most Beautiful. All that is in the heavens and the earth magnifies Him; He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise." (59:22-24)
"People of the Book, go not beyond the bounds in your religion, and say not as to God but the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only the Messenger of God, and His Word that He committed to Mary, and a Spirit from Him. So believe in God and His Messengers, and say not, 'Three.' Refrain; better is it for you. God is only one God. Glory be to Him - (He is) above having a son." (Quran chapter 4:171)
There are countless verses all warning mankind to this crime…so please take heed.
To tell the story of Sulaieman a.s I have borrowed from the great scholar and historian Ibn Kathir to enlighten us about that of which Allah has bestowed upon his prophet, and the enormous task he undertook. Ibn Kathir is the respected Imam, respected historian, read more here (http://www.dar-us-salam.com/authors/hafiz-ibn-kathir.htm).
His lineage is as follows; Abu Al-Fida', `Imad Ad-Din Isma il bin 'Umar bin Kathir Al-Qurashi Al-Busrawi - Busraian in origin; Dimashqi in training, learning and residence.
Ibn Kathir was born in the city of Busra in 701 H. His father was the Friday speaker of the village, but he died while Ibn Kathir was only four years old. Ibn Kathir's brother, Shaykh Abdul-Wahhab, reared him and taught him until he moved to Damascus in 706 H., when he was five years old.
Story of Prophet Sulaiman/Solomon (pbuh)
Ibn Kathir
Solomon inherited David's prophet hood and dominion. This was not a material inheritance, as prophets do not bequeath their property. It is given away to the poor and needy, not to their relatives. Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) said: "The prophets' property will not be inherited, and whatever we leave is to be used for charity." (Sahih Al-Bukhari authentic source of what the prophet Muhammad s.a.w. has said on a number of subjects from his companions).
And indeed We gave knowledge to David and Solomon, and they both said: "All the praises and thanks be to Allah, Who has preferred us above many of His believing slaves!"
And Solomon inherited (the knowledge of) David. He said: "O mankind! We have been taught the language of birds, and on us have been bestowed all things. This, verily, is an evident grace (from Allah)."
And there were gathered before Solomon his hosts of jinns and men, and birds, and they were all set in battle order (Rows or Ranks marching forwards). (Ch. 27:15-17 Quran).
After his father's death, Solomon became king. He begged Allah for a kingdom such as none after him would have, and Allah granted his wish. Besides wisdom, Allah had blessed Solomon with many abilities. He could command the winds and understand and talk to birds and animals. Allah directed him to teach both men and jinns to mine the earth and extract its minerals to make tools and weapons. He also favored him with a mine of copper, which was a rare metal in those days.
During his time horses were the common mode of transportation. They were very essential for defense, to carry soldiers and cart provisions and weapons of war. The animals were well cared for and well trained. One day Solomon was reviewing a parade of his stable. The fitness, beauty and posture of the horses fascinated him so much that he kept on stroking and admiring them. The sun was nearly setting, and the time for the middle prayer was passing by. When he realized this, he exclaimed: "I surely love the finer things of life than the service of my Lord! Return them to me."
Almighty Allah revealed: And to David We gave Solomon. How excellent a slave! Verily, he was ever oft returning in repentance (to Us)!
When there were displayed before him, in the afternoon, well-trained horses of the highest breed (for jihad in Allah's cause to fight for the sake of Allah other disbelieving tribes). And he said: "Alas! I did love the good (these horses) instead of remembering my Lord (in my 'Asr prayer)" till the time was over, and the sun had hidden in the veil of the night. Then he said: "Bring them (horses) back to me." Then he began to pass his hand over their legs and their necks (till the end of the display).
And indeed We did try Solomon and We placed on his throne Jasadan (a devil, so he lost his kingdom for a while) but he did return (to his throne and kingdom by the Grace of Allah and he did return) to Allah with obedience and in repentance. He said: "My Lord! Forgive me, and bestow upon me a kingdom such as shall not belong to any other after me. Verily, You are the Bestower."
So, We subjected to him the wind, it blew gently to his order whithersoever he willed, and also the devils from the jinns including every kind of builder and diver, and also others bound in fetters. (Saying of Allah to Solomon): "This is Our gift, so spend you or withhold, no account will be asked." And verily, he enjoyed a near access to Us, and a good final return Paradise. (Ch38:30-40 Quran).
One day Solomon gathered his army, which had different battalions of men, jinns, birds, and animals. He marched them to the country of Askalon.
While they were passing through a valley, an ant saw the approaching army and cried out to warn the other ants: "Run to your homes! Otherwise, unaware, Solomon and his army might crush you!" Solomon, hearing the cry of the ant, smiled. He was glad that the ant knew him to be a prophet who would not intentionally harm Allah's creation. He thanked Allah for saving the ants' lives.
Allah the Almighty narrated: And there were gathered before Solomon his hosts of jinns and men, and birds, and they all were set in battle order (marching forwards). Till, when they came to a valley of the ants, one of the ants said: "O ants! Enter your dwellings, lest Solomon and his hosts crush you, while they perceive not."
So he (Solomon) smiled, amused at her speech and said: "My Lord! Inspire and bestow upon me the power and ability that I may be grateful for Your Favors which You have bestowed on me and on my parents, and that I may do righteous good deeds that will please You, and admit me by Your Mercy among Your righteous slaves." (Ch. 27:17-19 Quran).
In Jerusalem, on a huge rock, Solomon built a beautiful temple to draw the people to worship Allah. Today this building is known as "The Dome of the Rock." From there, a large band of followers joined Solomon on pilgrimage to the Holy Mosque in Mecca. After they had completed their hajj, they traveled to Yemen and arrived in the city of Sana'a. Solomon was impressed by their clever method of channeling water all over their cities (the remains of these channels was due to the Marib Dam whose ruins remain in Yemen today as well as the uncovered ruins of the palace of the queen, which you can read about here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marib_Dam). He was keen to build similar water systems in his own country but did not have enough springs.
He set out to find the hoopoe bird, which could detect water under the ground. He sent signals all over for the hoopoe to call on him, but it was nowhere to be found. In anger, he declared that unless the bird had a good reason for its absence, he would punish it severely.
The hoopoe eventually came to Solomon and explained the reason for its delay. "I have discovered something of which you are not aware. I have come from Sheba (Sab'a) with important news." Solomon became curious, and his anger subsided. The bird continued: "Sab'a is ruled by a queen named Bilkis (Bilqis the actual name of the queen of sheba), who has plenty of everything, including a splendid throne. But in spite of all this wealth, Satan has entered her heart and the hearts of her people. She rules their minds completely. I was shocked to learn that they worship the sun instead of Allah the Almighty."
To check the hoopoe's information, Solomon sent a letter to the queen with the bird. He instructed the bird to remain hidden and to watch everything.
The hoopoe dropped the letter in front of the queen and flew away to hide. She excitedly opened and read it: "Verily! It is from Solomon, and verily! It reads: 'In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, and Most Merciful; be you not exalted against me, but come to me as Muslims (true believers who submit with full submission to the creator).'" (Ch. 27:30-31 Quran).
The queen was very disturbed and hurriedly summoned her advisors. They reacted as to a challenge, for they felt that there was someone challenging them, hinting at war and defeat, and asking them to submit to his conditions.
They told her that they could only offer advice, but it was her right to command action. She sensed that they wanted to meet Solomon's invading threat with a battle. However, she told them: "Peace and friendship are better and wiser; war only brings humiliation, enslaves people and destroys the good things. I have decided to send gifts to Solomon, selected from our most precious treasure. The courtiers who will deliver the gifts will also have an opportunity to learn about Solomon and his military might."
Solomon's reconnaissance team brought him the news of the arrival of Bilkis' messengers with a gift. He immediately realized that the queen had sent her men on a probing mission thus, he gave orders to rally the army. The envoys of Bilqis, entering amidst the well-equipped army, realized that their wealth was nothing in comparison to that of the kingdom of Solomon's palace floors, which were made of sandalwood and inlaid with gold.
They noticed Solomon surveying his army, and they were surprised at the number and variety of soldiers, which included lions, tigers, and birds. The messengers stood in amazement, realizing that they were in front of an irresistible army.
The envoys marveled at the splendor surrounding them. They eagerly presented their queen's precious gifts and told Solomon that the queen wished that he would accept them as an act of friendship. They were shocked by his reaction: he did not even ask to open the covers of the containers! He told them: "Allah has given me plenty of wealth, a large kingdom, and prophet hood. I am, therefore, beyond bribery. My only objective is to spread the belief in Tawheed, the Oneness of Allah."
He also directed them to take back the gifts to the queen and to tell her that if she did not stop her kind of worship he would uproot her kingdom and drive its people out of the land.
The queen's envoys returned with the gifts and delivered the message. They also told her of the wonderful things they had seen. Instead of taking offense, she decided to visit Solomon. Accompanied by her royal officials and servants, she left Sheba, sending a messenger ahead to inform Solomon that she was on her way to meet him.
Solomon asked the jinns in his employ whether anyone among them could bring her throne to his palace before she arrived. One of them said; "I will bring it to you before this sitting is over." Solomon did not react to this offer; it appeared that he was waiting for a faster means. The jinns competed with each other to please him. One of them named Ifrit said: "I will fetch it for you in the twinkling of an eye!" (Jinn are not bound like man and have different abilities)…
No sooner had this one - who had the knowledge of the Book (revelation) - finished his phrase than the throne stood before Solomon. The mission had, indeed, been completed in the blinking of an eye. Solomon's seat was in Palestine, and the throne of Bilqis had been in Yemen, two thousand miles away. This was a great miracle performed by one of those sitting with Solomon.
When Bilqis arrived at Solomon's palace, she was welcomed with pomp and ceremony. Then, pointing to the altered throne, Solomon asked her whether her throne looked like that one. She looked at it again and again. In her mind she was convinced that her throne could not possibly be the one she was looking at, as hers was in her palace; et, she detected a striking similarity and replied: "It is as if it were the very one, and resembles mine in every respect." Solomon judged that she was intelligent and diplomatic.
He then invited her into the great hall, the floor of which was laid in glass and shimmering. Thinking it was water, as she stepped on the floor, she lifted her skirt slightly above her heels, for fear of wetting it. Solomon pointed out to her that it was made of solid glass.
She was amazed. She had never seen such things before. Bilqis realized that she was in the company of a very knowledgeable person who was not only a ruler of a great kingdom but a messenger of Allah, as well. She repented, gave up sun worship, accepted the faith of Allah, and asked her people to do the same.
It was finished; Bilqis saw her people's creed fall apart before Solomon. She realized that the sun which her people worshipped was nothing but one of Allah's creatures.
The sun eclipsed within her for the first time, and her heart was lit by a never fading light, the light of Islam (submission to the creator alone).
Almighty Allah told us this story in the Quran; the following is the same as the above but from the Quran not the historian:
He inspected the birds, and said: "What is the matter that I see not a hoopoe? Or is he among the absentees? I will surely punish him with a severe torment, or slaughter him, unless he brings me a clear reason."
But the hoopoe stayed not long, he came up and said: "I have grasped (the knowledge of a thing) which you have not grasped and I have come to you from Sheba with true news. I found a woman ruling over them, and she has been given all things that could be possessed by any ruler of the earth, and she has a great throne. I found her and her people worshipping the sun instead of Allah, and Satan has made their deeds fair seeming to them, and has barred them from Allah's Way, so they have no guidance."
Al-La (this word has two interpretations) [As Satan has barred them from Allah's Way} so that they do not worship (prostrate before) Allah, or so that they may worship (prostrate before) Allah, Who brings light to what is hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knows what you conceal and what you reveal. Allah, La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Lord of the Supreme Throne!
(Solomon) said: "We shall see whether you speak the truth or you are one of the liars. Go with this letter of mine, and deliver it to them, then draw back from them, and see what answer they return."
She said: "O chiefs! Verily! Here is a delivered to me a noble letter. Verily! It is from Solomon and verily! It (reads): 'In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful; Be you not exalted against me, but come to me as Muslims (true believers who submit to Allah with full submission)."
She said: "O chiefs! Advise me in this case of mine. I decide no case till you are present with me."
They said: "We have great strength, and great ability for war, but it is for you to command; so think over what you will command."
She said: "Verily! Kings, when they enter a town (country), they despoil it, and make the most honorable amongst its people low. And thus they do. But verily! I am going to send him a present, and see with what answer the messengers return."
So when (the messengers with the present) came to Solomon, he said: "Will you help me in wealth? What Allah has given me is better than that which He has given you! Nay, you rejoice in your gift!" (Then Solomon said to the chief of her messengers who brought the present): "Go back to them. We verily shall come to them with hosts that they cannot resist, and we shall drive them out from there is disgrace, and they will be abased."
He said: "O chiefs! Which of you can bring me her throne before they come to me surrendering themselves in obedience?"
An Ifrit (strong) from the jinns said: "I will bring it to you before you rise from your place (council). And verily, I am indeed strong, and trustworthy for such work."
One with whom was knowledge of the Scripture said: "I will bring it to you within the twinkling of an eye!" then when Solomon saw it placed before him, he said: "This is by the Grace of my Lord, to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful! And whoever is grateful, truly, his gratitude is for the good of his ownself, and whoever is ungrateful, he is ungrateful only for the loss of his ownself. Certainly! My Lord is Rich (Free of all wants), Bountiful!"
He said: "Disguise her throne for her that we may see whether she will be guided (to recognize her throne), or she will be one of those not guided."
So when she came, it was said to her: "Is your throne like this?"
She said: "It is as though it was the very same."
And Solomon said: "Knowledge was bestowed on us before her, and we were submitted to Allah (in Islam as Muslims before her)."
And that which she used to worship besides Allah has prevented her from Islam, for she was of a disbelieving people.
It was said to her: "Enter As-Sarh" (a glass surface with water underneath it) or a palace, but when she saw it, she thought it was a pool, and she tucked up her clothes, uncovering her legs.
Solomon said: "Verily, it is Sarh paved smooth with slab of glass."
She said: "My Lord! Verily, I have wronged myself, and I submit (in Islam), together with Solomon, to Allah, the Lord of the Alamin (mankind, jinns, and all that exists)." (Ch 27:20-44 Quran)
Solomon's public work was largely carried out by the jinns. This was a punishment for their sins of making people believe that they were all-powerful, knew the unseen, and could foresee the future. As a prophet, it was Solomon's duty to remove such false beliefs from his followers.
Solomon lived a midst glory, and all creatures were subjected to him. Then Allah the Exalted ordained for him to die. His life and death were full of wonders and miracles; thus, his death harmonized with his life and glory. His death, like his life, was unique. The people had to learn that the future is known neither by the jinns, nor by the prophets, but by Allah alone. Solomon's effort in this direction did not end with his life, for even his death became an example. He was sitting holding his staff, overseeing the jinns at work in a mine. He died sitting in this position. For a long time no one was aware of his death, for he was seen sitting erect. The jinns continued with their sand toil, thinking that Solomon was watching over them.
Many days later, a hungry ant some narrations say a wood worm began nibbling Solomon's staff. It continued to do so, eating the lower part of the staff, until it fell out of Solomon's hand, and his great body fell to the ground. People hurried to him, realizing that he had died a long time ago and that the jinns did not perceive the unseen, for had the jinns known the unseen, they would not have kept working, and thinking that Solomon was alive.
Allah the Exalted revealed: And We caused a fount of molten brass to flow for him, and there were jinns that worked in front of him by the Leave of his Lord, and whosoever of them turned aside from Our Command, We shall cause him to taste of the torment of the blazing Fire.
They worked for him what he desired, (making) high rooms, images, basins as large as reservoirs, and (making) cauldrons fixed (in their places). "Work you, O family of David, with thanks!" But few of My slaves are grateful.
Then when we decreed death for him (Solomon), nothing informed them (jinns) of his death except a little worm of the earth, which kept slowly gnawing away at his stick, so when he fell down, the jinns saw clearly that if they had known the unseen, they would not have stayed in the humiliating torment. (Ch 34:12-14 Quran).

The world of Sulaieman A.S. is now back upon mankind but now there is no prophet amongst us physically, but he words remain… Like the devil given temporary post when Sulaieman was neglectful of his prayer with the parade of horses until his repentance. Another devil with be given temporary post upon the throne from Jerusalem Ad’ Dajjal whom the world is preparing for. This parallel is VERY real folks and whither people understand what’s going on or not they do feel something different in the air. As I mentioned earlier prophets were all given miracles to perform according to the age they lived in pertaining to what the people were amazed by…Today, aliens and outer space is what amazes most people. We have all been carefully cultured to the acceptance of aliens from movies like E.T. to all of the mysterious UFO sightings that occur on an unprecedented scale, and now the ancient alien theories of Zachariah Kitchens and his team who make imaginative claims about the Annuaki etc... It’s no different than any other time when Satan is the mastermind behind what is to take place, and both his army from himself and human servants help to carry out the agenda.
Reflect and ask yourself why were all the civilisation in the bible destroyed, and why was Joshua, King Saul, David and Solomon fighting with other Nations of people? Why because they committed major sins & disbelieved in the one true Allah. Why were the people of Moses delivered from the oppression of the Egypt? Because they were the ones that believed while the Egyptians worshiped the Pharaoh. Muhammad’s battles with all the tribes of Quraish and later with Byzantine and other Nations; Again, because they were a people taken to idol worship. Moses’ nation is the first nation Allah calls to fight in his sake using the believers to check those who don’t (called jihad fi sabililah) war of believers against those who don’t.
Walakeen Jihad al nufs thalika kana jihad kabir… the prophet s.a.w said “but the jihad (war) with yourself that is the greatest war”…
Prior to this Allah ordered & destroyed nations of people for their indecencies’ and sins. Allah has thus been using the believers to fight the nations of non-believers and you see this today. Outnumbered, minimal weapons, no Air or Naval power it doesn’t matter Allah is always on the side of those who love him and these people he has always called his own…
Wars then were about good versus evil and today are no different…Most people just have to Catch Up so they see things more clearly…And actually see the good and evil sides.
