Hadith on Hajj: The Hour [of destruction] will not come until Hajj is abandoned
Abu Sa’id al-Khudri reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The Hajj and the Umrah pilgrimages will continue even after the emergence of Gog and Magog.”Al-Shu’bah said, “The Hour will not be established until no one performs the Hajj.”

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَيُحَجَّنَّ الْبَيْتُ وَلَيُعْتَمَرَنَّ بَعْدَ خُرُوجِ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ
قَالَ شُعْبَة لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى لَا يُحَجَّ الْبَيْتُ

Today, anyone who is still blind, will probably remain blind which Allah says, in Quran: 17:72
وَمَن كَانَ فِى هَٰذِهِۦٓ أَعْمَىٰ فَهُوَ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ أَعْمَىٰ وَأَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا And whoever is blind in this [life] will be blind in the Hereafter and more astray in their way. Quran 22:46 أَفَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَتَكُونَ لَهُمْ قُلُوبٌ يَعْقِلُونَ بِهَآ أَوْ ءَاذَانٌ يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَا ۖ فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَعْمَى ٱلْأَبْصَٰرُ وَلَٰكِن تَعْمَى ٱلْقُلُوبُ ٱلَّتِى فِى ٱلصُّدُورِ So have they not traveled through the earth and have hearts by which to reason and ears by which to hear? For indeed, it is not eyes that are blinded, but blinded are the hearts which are within the breasts. The words of soverignty have long been de-commissioned and hung in the dictionary archive museum, while freedom is still a word that when most people hear take it for its literal meaning. |
"freedom of choice"
absence of subjection to foreign domination or despotic government.
Similar: independence, self-government, self-determination, self-legislation, sovereignty, autonomy, self-sufficiency, individualism, emancipation, manumission, the state of not being imprisoned or enslaved.
But when politicians say it, they mean all of the above also, but deeper still is the notion of “do as thou wilt” an old Alister Crowley quote.... Its been likened to “Just do it” and “Obey your Thirst” and many other similar slogans that when heard by various groups the meaning is applied differently. On a State or National level this also implies the rule of mans law (secularism, removing divine laws from daily lives).
This was the premise behind the first established League of Nations and now the current charter of the United Nations. Freedom to do as thou wilt without the reminder or persecution of divine punishments.
On the surface as it is disguised in political rhetoric, it intended to appear innocent and cause worthily, but words often have many deeper meanings, so the context by which they are used becomes very important in decoding how their speeches are to be analyzed.
Professor Chomsky of M.I.T states, “Democracy isn’t absent of propaganda, its the very essence of it (democracy). In a totalitarian government when they control the actions of people, theres really no concern about what they think. But, if this control is ever lose over the people, then controlling what they think becomes of paramount importance. Wait! There’s a third condition...Governments who drive or lead the arrogances of the people also arrive a point where those citizens are no longer willing to submit to civil rule. Why is that? The political science of the Quran gives this reason
Holy Quran 21:44
------------------
بَلْ مَتَّعْنَا هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَءَابَآءَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ طَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْعُمُرُ ۗ أَفَلَا يَرَوْنَ أَنَّا نَأْتِى ٱلْأَرْضَ نَنقُصُهَا مِنْ أَطْرَافِهَآ ۚ أَفَهُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ
But, [on the contrary], We have provided good things for these [disbelievers] and their fathers until life was prolonged for them. Then do they not see that We set upon the land, reducing it from its borders? So is it they who will overcome?
In other words it means: These people have been deluded by Our favor and Our [Allah’s] provisions. They think they are enjoying prosperity and good life as their personal right and there is none to take it away from them. They have forgotten that there is a God above them who is able to make or mar their fortune. Millions of people are killed, habitations and harvests are destroyed and other damages are caused, which frustrate all human designs? It means: When they [humanity] realizes that all the resources and provisions of life are in the hands of Allah and that he can increase or decrease them as he wills; Do they have the power and strength to provide & defend themselves against his will or punishment? Can they not see from these signs that their power, prosperity and luxuries are not everlasting and that there is an All-Powerful Allah to seize and punish them and it is to him all things return?
Think about this...As some of the prosperity of America’s wealth has trickled down from being saved out of the Great Depression by entering WWII with war manufacturing. Americans have progressively gotten more and more accustomed to the regularity of ease or comfort. So much so, that today there are generations who are economically blinded to genuine ideals of life and how it should be balanced in terms of agriculture/manufacturing and or a solid grasp of what real money is...This deficiency is understood by the elite, who have been baiting many people along sinking the country further and further into debt while they skim of the top. Nonetheless, Americans in whatever class they find themselves, still have built up arrogances many of which the culture cultivates itself. Which, brings us to this junction of arrogances that can no longer be funded, and civil unrest hangs in the balance...

Many, Many civilizations have come & gone stretching back even farther than what we have mentioned here...These ten I’m merely suggesting have been the most dominant amongst our Modern standards of record keeping. Each civilization had its calling (or decreed/appointed time), it rose and followed its calling, implementing its systems of governance.
Eventually it (the nation) gained strength, wealth, power, prestige, influence until it became the hegemony of its time. At the top, these civilizations climaxed...faltering carelessly through life upon luxuries that intoxicated them eventually poisoning their peoples societies with the illnesses humanity acquires with extravagances, self-entitlement, wastefulness, promiscuity, corruption of markets, and self-deification... All these diseases would serve as a vivid foreword in explaining their downfalls.
The Irony of all this is....ITS BEEN REPEATED OVER AND OVER AGAIN BY PREVIOUS NATIONS, and yet only a few ever come to the conclusion that the path they are on is inevitably doomed....
The Irony of all this is....ITS BEEN REPEATED OVER AND OVER AGAIN BY PREVIOUS NATIONS, and yet only a few ever come to the conclusion that the path they are on is inevitably doomed....
Holy Quran 17:16
------------------ وَإِذَآ أَرَدْنَآ أَن نُّهْلِكَ قَرْيَةً أَمَرْنَا مُتْرَفِيهَا فَفَسَقُوا۟ فِيهَا فَحَقَّ عَلَيْهَا ٱلْقَوْلُ فَدَمَّرْنَٰهَا تَدْمِيرًا And when We intend to destroy a city, We command its affluent to become defiantly disobey therein; so the word comes into effect upon it, and We destroy it with [complete] destruction. Holy Quran 17:17 وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِنَ ٱلْقُرُونِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ نُوحٍ ۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِرَبِّكَ بِذُنُوبِ عِبَادِهِۦ خَبِيرًۢا بَصِيرًا And how many have We destroyed from the generations after Noah. And sufficient is your Lord, concerning the sins of His servants, as all Knowing and Seeing. |
Here a definitive form of divine procedure for the destruction of a people has been stated. When the affluent people of a habitation become disobedient, it is a portent (a sign or indication that something momentous will happen) and that it (the nation) is doomed to destruction.
After their persistent and continuous transgression, the affluent people become so obdurate in their disobedience that they begin to discard the instinctive dictates of their conscience. The same thing has been stated in this Ayat: “And when We intend to destroy a town, We give commands to its affluent people and they show disobedience.” This is because Allah has created conscience for the guidance of man. Therefore, the dictates Upon the conscience of creation are really from the commands of Allah. Another way of understanding this can be understood from the following verses:
|
Holy Quran 17:18
مَّن كَانَ يُرِيدُ ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ عَجَّلْنَا لَهُۥ فِيهَا مَا نَشَآءُ لِمَن نُّرِيدُ ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَا لَهُۥ جَهَنَّمَ يَصْلَىٰهَا مَذْمُومًا مَّدْحُورًا
Whoever should desire the immediate [transitory worldly life] - We hasten for him from it what We will to whom We intend. Then We have made for him Hell, which he will [enter to] burn, censured and banished.
Holy Quran 17:19
وَمَنْ أَرَادَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ وَسَعَىٰ لَهَا سَعْيَهَا وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ كَانَ سَعْيُهُم مَّشْكُورًا
But whoever desires the Hereafter and exerts the effort due to it while he is a believer - it is those whose effort is ever appreciated [by Allah].
Holy Quran 17:20
كُلًّا نُّمِدُّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَهَٰٓؤُلَآءِ مِنْ عَطَآءِ رَبِّكَ ۚ وَمَا كَانَ عَطَآءُ رَبِّكَ مَحْظُورًا
To each [category] We extend - to these and to those - from the gift of your Lord. And never has the gift of your Lord been restricted.
Here the “gift” is that which the consciousness of the person is fixed upon, for the one who disbelieves and seeks only this worldly life, then Allah in all his fairness and justice gives to that person from their efforts his/her portion of worldly enjoyment. However, even in doing so, Allah limits this giving to what he wills for a person can never satiate the worldly desire without causing harm to him or herself and others, so Allah is still merciful in that giving...For the one who believes and strives for the eternal abode by way of his or her worldly life, then that striving will benefit them and Allah who is free from need still appreciates this effort. By living in such a way we make ourselves worthy of the paradise Allah has promised the believer.
This of course is the natural disposition of all creation. What’s meant by this is, in creation you’ll never find a tree, a bee, the sun, moon acting or fulfilling a role other than their created functions and this is their submission. Mankind too has a purpose and a functional role to fulfill, but we have also been given volition {choice} and by that many people are mislead.
Holy Quran 30:30
فَأَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ حَنِيفًا ۚ فِطْرَتَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّتِى فَطَرَ ٱلنَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا ۚ لَا تَبْدِيلَ لِخَلْقِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلدِّينُ ٱلْقَيِّمُ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
So direct your face toward the religion, inclining to [ALL] truth. [Adhere to] the fitrah of Allah upon which He has created [all] people. No change should there be in the creation of Allah. That is the correct religion, but most of the people do not know.
Holy Quran 22:67
لِّكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ جَعَلْنَا مَنسَكًا هُمْ نَاسِكُوهُ ۖ فَلَا يُنَٰزِعُنَّكَ فِى ٱلْأَمْرِ ۚ وَٱدْعُ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ۖ إِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ هُدًى مُّسْتَقِيمٍ
For every religion We have appointed rites which they perform [Submission is the same, while rituals may differ or congregational days]. So, [O Muhammad], let the disbelievers not contend with you over the matter but invite them to your Lord. Indeed, you are upon straight guidance.
Holy Quran 62:9
------------------
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِذَا نُودِىَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوْمِ ٱلْجُمُعَةِ فَٱسْعَوْا۟ إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُوا۟ ٱلْبَيْعَ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
O you who have believed, when [the adhan] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumu'ah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allah and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew.
Exodus 31:12-17 King James Version (KJV)
12 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths [Saturday] ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you.
14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
This ordinance of death isn’t enforced because divine laws are not enforced {we have rule of law, man-made} although portions of the divine laws have been fragmented into man’s laws because without them (divine laws) man has no orientation or reference to govern himself...Thus most of the divine punishments have been left out. Nonetheless, even though they keep divine punishment from themselves in the moment, their behaviors {consciousness} still leads them to self-destruction that ultimately leads to divine punishment. As they seek to deceive Allah:
Holy Quran 2:9
يُخَٰدِعُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَمَا يَخْدَعُونَ إِلَّآ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ
They [think to] deceive Allah and those who believe, but they deceive not except themselves and perceive [it] not.
Holy Quran 4:142
إِنَّ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَ يُخَٰدِعُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَهُوَ خَٰدِعُهُمْ وَإِذَا قَامُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ قَامُوا۟ كُسَالَىٰ يُرَآءُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ وَلَا يَذْكُرُونَ ٱللَّهَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا
Indeed, the hypocrites [think to] deceive Allah, but He is deceiving them. And when they stand for prayer, they stand lazily, showing [themselves to] the people and not remembering Allah except a little,
Holy Quran 2:62
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَٱلَّذِينَ هَادُوا۟ وَٱلنَّصَٰرَىٰ وَٱلصَّٰبِـِٔينَ مَنْ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْءَاخِرِ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحًا فَلَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
Indeed, those who believed and those who were Jews or Christians or Sabeans [before Prophet Muhammad] - those [among them] who believed in Allah and the Last Day and did righteousness {through submission to divine laws, which is Islam}- will have their reward with their Lord, and no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve.
Holy Quran 2:63
وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِيثَٰقَكُمْ وَرَفَعْنَا فَوْقَكُمُ ٱلطُّورَ خُذُوا۟ مَآ ءَاتَيْنَٰكُم بِقُوَّةٍ وَٱذْكُرُوا۟ مَا فِيهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ
And [recall] when We took your covenant, [O Children of Israel, to abide by the Torah] and We raised over you the mount, [saying], "Take what We have given you with determination and remember what is in it that perhaps you may become righteous."
Holy Quran 2:64
ثُمَّ تَوَلَّيْتُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ ۖ فَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُۥ لَكُنتُم مِّنَ ٱلْخَٰسِرِينَ
Then you turned away after that. And if not for the favor of Allah upon you and His mercy, you would have been among the losers.
Holy Quran 5:60
------------------
قُلْ هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُم بِشَرٍّ مِّن ذَٰلِكَ مَثُوبَةً عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ مَن لَّعَنَهُ ٱللَّهُ وَغَضِبَ عَلَيْهِ وَجَعَلَ مِنْهُمُ ٱلْقِرَدَةَ وَٱلْخَنَازِيرَ وَعَبَدَ ٱلطَّٰغُوتَ ۚ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا وَأَضَلُّ عَن سَوَآءِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ
Say, "Shall I inform you of [what is] worse than that as penalty from Allah? [It is that of] those whom Allah has cursed and with whom He became angry and made of them apes and pigs {to a conscience constitution of apes & pigs} and slaves of Taghut {false gods or things of worship like money}. Those are worse in position and further astray from the sound way."
Holy Quran 5:61
------------------
وَإِذَا جَآءُوكُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا وَقَد دَّخَلُوا۟ بِٱلْكُفْرِ وَهُمْ قَدْ خَرَجُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْتُمُونَ
And when they come to you, they say, "We believe." But they have entered with disbelief [in their hearts], and they have certainly left with it [disbelief]. And Allah is most knowing of what they were concealing.
Holy Quran 5:62
------------------
وَتَرَىٰ كَثِيرًا مِّنْهُمْ يُسَٰرِعُونَ فِى ٱلْإِثْمِ وَٱلْعُدْوَٰنِ وَأَكْلِهِمُ ٱلسُّحْتَ ۚ لَبِئْسَ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ
And you see many of them hastening into sin and aggression and the devouring of [what is] unlawful [in partaking action, speech/behavior and in ways of sustenance like foods & drink]. How wretched is what they have been doing.
Holy Quran 5:63
------------------
لَوْلَا يَنْهَىٰهُمُ ٱلرَّبَّٰنِيُّونَ وَٱلْأَحْبَارُ عَن قَوْلِهِمُ ٱلْإِثْمَ وَأَكْلِهِمُ ٱلسُّحْتَ ۚ لَبِئْسَ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَصْنَعُونَ
Why do the rabbis and religious scholars not forbid them from saying [and doing] what is sinful and devouring what is unlawful? How wretched is what they have been practicing.
Holy Quran 2:65
وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱعْتَدَوْا۟ مِنكُمْ فِى ٱلسَّبْتِ فَقُلْنَا لَهُمْ كُونُوا۟ قِرَدَةً خَٰسِـِٔينَ
And you had already known about those who transgressed among you concerning the sabbath {Saturday}, and We said to them, "Be apes, despised."
Holy Quran 7:166
فَلَمَّا عَتَوْا۟ عَن مَّا نُهُوا۟ عَنْهُ قُلْنَا لَهُمْ كُونُوا۟ قِرَدَةً خَٰسِـِٔينَ
So when they were insolent about that which they had been forbidden, We said to them, "Be apes, despised."
”BE”...this order/command of Allah spoken upon the accursed children of Israel who persisted in violating the divine laws of Allah had their fitrah (natural disposition, human constitution) overwritten with the behavior of apes. No, they didn’t turn into apes as the verse might lead someone to believe, but rather its the conscience that is overwritten. As the ape acts normally to himself (his functional purpose), the behaviour of apes enacted by human beings (who have a different functional purpose) becomes something wildly intolerable and grotesque. The ape is dressed (his fur) yet he still appears as naked. His bedroom life is performed out in the open...These two characteristics are prominent in Western culture as human beings have adopted fashions that too are either so tight or less covering that we too are dressed but appear to be naked. This of course comes with the promiscuity of a sexual revolution in part to the feminist movement that desecrates marriage and promotes sexual explorations that further fragment society with hyper-sexual activity publicly {including all media platforms}.
This behaviour is manifesting within modern western civilization, and inevitably leads to destruction.
Herein lies a gem of understanding...Fitrah (the natural disposition) of creation is the constitution written upon every soul that will become its functioning manifestation in worldly life. The prophet s.a.w said, “Allah created mankind upon fitrah (natural disposition of tawheed (monotheism) submission to the creator, then it is the parents that make him/her a Jew, christian, Zoroastrian; have you not looked at the way animals give birth to a normal offspring, have you witnessed any that were born mutalated ? In comparison, mankind is mutalated (at a disadvantage) without this constitution upon him/herself.
This can be further understood from a person born with both reproductive organs (pen-us & vagina). Although this person may grow up confused or thinking they have a choice (to lead a life as a male or female), it becomes incumbent upon the parents to find out which of the two reproductive organs is the one functioning, because this will be upon the constitutional function written upon that soul. So, to believe that Allah/god punishes homosexual acts, but at the same time creates them is absurd and very shallow intellect.
Holy Quran 67:23
------------------
قُلْ هُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنشَأَكُمْ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَٱلْأَبْصَٰرَ وَٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةَ ۖ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُونَ
Say, "It is He who has produced you and made for you hearing and vision and hearts [emotions]; little are you grateful." [No one is born absent of all three]. The acclaimed neurosurgeon Wilder Penfielf, describes the faculties of hearing and vision require the presence of a soul. It is this conscious that deciphers auditory and visual information received through corresponding organs within the body...
Volume 4, Book 54, Number 430:Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mus'ud:
Allah's prophet s.a.w, the true and truly inspired said, "(The matter of the Creation of) a human being is put together in the womb of the mother in forty days, and then he becomes a clot of thick blood for a similar period, and then a piece of flesh for a similar period. Then Allah sends an angel who is ordered to write four things. He is ordered to write down the sexual gender, deeds (whether he will be blessed or wretched (in religion) is livelihood, his (date of) death. Then the soul is breathed into him. So, a man amongst you may do (good deeds till there is only a cubit between him and Paradise and then what has been written for him decides his behavior and he starts doing (evil) deeds characteristic of the people of the (Hell) Fire. And similarly a man amongst you may do (evil) deeds till there is only a cubit between him and the (Hell) Fire, and then what has been written for him decides his behavior, and he starts doing deeds characteristic of the people of Paradise."
Allah creates as he wills, and from his wisdoms we know that somethings including people have been created to serve evil, and thus be a test upon those who are righteous.
Holy Quran 22:40
------------------
ٱلَّذِينَ أُخْرِجُوا۟ مِن دِيَٰرِهِم بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ إِلَّآ أَن يَقُولُوا۟ رَبُّنَا ٱللَّهُ ۗ وَلَوْلَا دَفْعُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلنَّاسَ بَعْضَهُم بِبَعْضٍ لَّهُدِّمَتْ صَوَٰمِعُ وَبِيَعٌ وَصَلَوَٰتٌ وَمَسَٰجِدُ يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا ٱسْمُ ٱللَّهِ كَثِيرًا ۗ وَلَيَنصُرَنَّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَنصُرُهُۥٓ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَقَوِىٌّ عَزِيزٌ
[They are] those who have been evicted from their homes without right - only because they say, "Our Lord is Allah." And were it not that Allah checks the people, some by means of others {war}, there would have been demolished monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which the name of Allah is much mentioned. And Allah will surely support those who support Him. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might.
This verse paints the history of the world since Moses a.s and his nation. Prior as we read in the quran all the stories of previous nation that went astray in their transgressions. After raising his prophets among those many nations to recall those peoples back to righteous conduct, after doing so, those prophets some with a multitude of followers like Yunus a.s (Jona) or very few like Nuh a.s (Noah)...Those prophets made their supplications upon the erring peoples and Allah would send destruction by way of his Angels, or by wind, or sound, or water etc. However, since Musa a.s (Moses) evil is checked with righteousness through warfare. Prophets who also led armies {Moses, David, Solomon, Talut {Saul bible accompanied by Prophet Samuel, and Muhammad peace on all of them. Unlike now when there is no prophet among us, nor any leadership among the Muslims...There still remains righteousness on the side of orthodoxy {those who still adhere to submission} among the nations of people in Christianity who have reset the moral compasses on the trespasses of evil and resist them imposing upon mankind complete tyranny. So, while many might look at the conditions of Muslims around the world, the fight against evil is a coalition of the righteous not just Muslims, and just when the pressures are the greatest that’s when the divine correction comes...Just wait and see!!!
Holy Quran 40:78
------------------
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلًا مِّن قَبْلِكَ مِنْهُم مَّن قَصَصْنَا عَلَيْكَ وَمِنْهُم مَّن لَّمْ نَقْصُصْ عَلَيْكَ ۗ وَمَا كَانَ لِرَسُولٍ أَن يَأْتِىَ بِـَٔايَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَمْرُ ٱللَّهِ قُضِىَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَخَسِرَ هُنَالِكَ ٱلْمُبْطِلُونَ
And We have already sent messengers before you. Among them are those [whose stories] We have related to you, and among them are those [whose stories] We have not related to you. And it was not for any messenger to bring a sign [or verse] except by permission of Allah. So when the command of Allah comes, it will be concluded in truth, and the falsifiers will thereupon lose [all].
Holy Quran 10:95
------------------
وَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْخَٰسِرِينَ
And never be of those who deny the signs of Allah and [thus] be among the losers.
Holy Quran 4:52
------------------
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ۖ وَمَن يَلْعَنِ ٱللَّهُ فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُۥ نَصِيرًا
Those are the ones whom Allah has cursed; and he whom Allah curses - never will you find for him a helper.
The curse of Allah is as he wills, but in the case of fitrah {conscience} an individual or group who persist in disbelief, in practicing moral behavior, corruption, & denial...they race towards their own destruction forcedly by their own behaviour unable to stop. This maybe why the corrupt can’t stand to be reminded of their error and chastise the righteous with mockery because no matter what they are cursed to continue in their ways. This is a consciousness or better yet a state of the soul by which Allah addresses Satan.
Holy Quran 7:11
------------------
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَٰكُمْ ثُمَّ صَوَّرْنَٰكُمْ ثُمَّ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ ٱسْجُدُوا۟ لِءَادَمَ فَسَجَدُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ لَمْ يَكُن مِّنَ ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ
And We have certainly created you, [O Mankind], and given you [human] form. Then We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam" {prostration of respect for what Allah created}; so they [Angels] prostrated, except for Iblees. He was not of those who prostrated.
Holy Quran 18:50
------------------
وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ ٱسْجُدُوا۟ لِءَادَمَ فَسَجَدُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْجِنِّ فَفَسَقَ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِۦٓ ۗ أَفَتَتَّخِذُونَهُۥ وَذُرِّيَّتَهُۥٓ أَوْلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِى وَهُمْ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّۢ ۚ بِئْسَ لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ بَدَلًا
And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except for Iblees. He [Iblees] was of the jinn and departed from the command of his Lord. Then will you take him [Iblees] and his descendants as allies other than Me [Allah] while they are enemies to you? Wretched it is for the wrongdoers as an exchange.
The term Iblis [Ibless] (Arabic: إِبْلِيس) may have been derived from the Arabic verbal root “bls’ ب-ل-س (with the broad meaning of "remain in grief") or بَلَسَ (balasa, "he despaired"). Furthermore, the name is related to talbis meaning ‘confusion’. Another possibility is that it is derived from Ancient Greek διάβολος (diábolos), via a Syriac intermediary, which is also the source of the English word 'devil'. Yet, another possibility relates this name back to the bene [bin] Elohim (Sons of God), who had been identified with fallen angels in pagan works Attributing sons and daughters to Allah along with gender to angels... but These thoughts were also singularized under the name of their leader [Satan, Lucifer {bearer of light}, Ezekiel {the honored one}.
Holy Quran 7:38
------------------
قَالَ ٱدْخُلُوا۟ فِىٓ أُمَمٍ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلْجِنِّ وَٱلْإِنسِ فِى ٱلنَّارِ ۖ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَتْ أُمَّةٌ لَّعَنَتْ أُخْتَهَا ۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا ٱدَّارَكُوا۟ فِيهَا جَمِيعًا قَالَتْ أُخْرَىٰهُمْ لِأُولَىٰهُمْ رَبَّنَا هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ أَضَلُّونَا فَـَٔاتِهِمْ عَذَابًا ضِعْفًا مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِ ۖ قَالَ لِكُلٍّ ضِعْفٌ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تَعْلَمُونَ
[Allah] will say [future tense], "Enter among [previous] nations which had passed on before you of jinn and mankind into the Fire." Every time a nation enters [hell], it will curse its sister [nation] until, when they have all been overtaken one another therein, the last of them will say about the first of them "Our Lord, these had misled us, so give them a double punishment of the Fire.” He will say, "For each is double, but you do not know." [or fail to understand].
Thus it has become quite obvious that by “And when We intend to destroy a town” is not meant that Allah intends to destroy it without any reason. It is destroyed because after their disobedience that habitation incurs just wrath and Allah totally exterminates it. The habitation deserves such a punishment because its common people follow the affluent people who are the factual leaders of a community and are mainly responsible for the corruption of the community. At first the affluent people commit acts of disobedience, wickedness, mischief, cruelty and tyranny and then the common people follow them and incur the torment of Allah.
Holy Quran 6:112
------------------
وَكَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِىٍّ عَدُوًّا شَيَٰطِينَ ٱلْإِنسِ وَٱلْجِنِّ يُوحِى بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَىٰ بَعْضٍ زُخْرُفَ ٱلْقَوْلِ غُرُورًا ۚ وَلَوْ شَآءَ رَبُّكَ مَا فَعَلُوهُ ۖ فَذَرْهُمْ وَمَا يَفْتَرُونَ
And thus We have made for every prophet an enemy - devils from mankind and jinn, inspiring to one another decorative speech in delusion. But if your Lord had willed, they would not have done it, so leave them and that which they invent.
مَّن كَانَ يُرِيدُ ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ عَجَّلْنَا لَهُۥ فِيهَا مَا نَشَآءُ لِمَن نُّرِيدُ ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَا لَهُۥ جَهَنَّمَ يَصْلَىٰهَا مَذْمُومًا مَّدْحُورًا
Whoever should desire the immediate [transitory worldly life] - We hasten for him from it what We will to whom We intend. Then We have made for him Hell, which he will [enter to] burn, censured and banished.
Holy Quran 17:19
وَمَنْ أَرَادَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ وَسَعَىٰ لَهَا سَعْيَهَا وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ كَانَ سَعْيُهُم مَّشْكُورًا
But whoever desires the Hereafter and exerts the effort due to it while he is a believer - it is those whose effort is ever appreciated [by Allah].
Holy Quran 17:20
كُلًّا نُّمِدُّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَهَٰٓؤُلَآءِ مِنْ عَطَآءِ رَبِّكَ ۚ وَمَا كَانَ عَطَآءُ رَبِّكَ مَحْظُورًا
To each [category] We extend - to these and to those - from the gift of your Lord. And never has the gift of your Lord been restricted.
Here the “gift” is that which the consciousness of the person is fixed upon, for the one who disbelieves and seeks only this worldly life, then Allah in all his fairness and justice gives to that person from their efforts his/her portion of worldly enjoyment. However, even in doing so, Allah limits this giving to what he wills for a person can never satiate the worldly desire without causing harm to him or herself and others, so Allah is still merciful in that giving...For the one who believes and strives for the eternal abode by way of his or her worldly life, then that striving will benefit them and Allah who is free from need still appreciates this effort. By living in such a way we make ourselves worthy of the paradise Allah has promised the believer.
This of course is the natural disposition of all creation. What’s meant by this is, in creation you’ll never find a tree, a bee, the sun, moon acting or fulfilling a role other than their created functions and this is their submission. Mankind too has a purpose and a functional role to fulfill, but we have also been given volition {choice} and by that many people are mislead.
Holy Quran 30:30
فَأَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ حَنِيفًا ۚ فِطْرَتَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّتِى فَطَرَ ٱلنَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا ۚ لَا تَبْدِيلَ لِخَلْقِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلدِّينُ ٱلْقَيِّمُ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
So direct your face toward the religion, inclining to [ALL] truth. [Adhere to] the fitrah of Allah upon which He has created [all] people. No change should there be in the creation of Allah. That is the correct religion, but most of the people do not know.
Holy Quran 22:67
لِّكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ جَعَلْنَا مَنسَكًا هُمْ نَاسِكُوهُ ۖ فَلَا يُنَٰزِعُنَّكَ فِى ٱلْأَمْرِ ۚ وَٱدْعُ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ۖ إِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ هُدًى مُّسْتَقِيمٍ
For every religion We have appointed rites which they perform [Submission is the same, while rituals may differ or congregational days]. So, [O Muhammad], let the disbelievers not contend with you over the matter but invite them to your Lord. Indeed, you are upon straight guidance.
Holy Quran 62:9
------------------
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِذَا نُودِىَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوْمِ ٱلْجُمُعَةِ فَٱسْعَوْا۟ إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُوا۟ ٱلْبَيْعَ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
O you who have believed, when [the adhan] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumu'ah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allah and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew.
Exodus 31:12-17 King James Version (KJV)
12 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths [Saturday] ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you.
14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
This ordinance of death isn’t enforced because divine laws are not enforced {we have rule of law, man-made} although portions of the divine laws have been fragmented into man’s laws because without them (divine laws) man has no orientation or reference to govern himself...Thus most of the divine punishments have been left out. Nonetheless, even though they keep divine punishment from themselves in the moment, their behaviors {consciousness} still leads them to self-destruction that ultimately leads to divine punishment. As they seek to deceive Allah:
Holy Quran 2:9
يُخَٰدِعُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَمَا يَخْدَعُونَ إِلَّآ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ
They [think to] deceive Allah and those who believe, but they deceive not except themselves and perceive [it] not.
Holy Quran 4:142
إِنَّ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَ يُخَٰدِعُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَهُوَ خَٰدِعُهُمْ وَإِذَا قَامُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ قَامُوا۟ كُسَالَىٰ يُرَآءُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ وَلَا يَذْكُرُونَ ٱللَّهَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا
Indeed, the hypocrites [think to] deceive Allah, but He is deceiving them. And when they stand for prayer, they stand lazily, showing [themselves to] the people and not remembering Allah except a little,
Holy Quran 2:62
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَٱلَّذِينَ هَادُوا۟ وَٱلنَّصَٰرَىٰ وَٱلصَّٰبِـِٔينَ مَنْ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْءَاخِرِ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحًا فَلَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
Indeed, those who believed and those who were Jews or Christians or Sabeans [before Prophet Muhammad] - those [among them] who believed in Allah and the Last Day and did righteousness {through submission to divine laws, which is Islam}- will have their reward with their Lord, and no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve.
Holy Quran 2:63
وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِيثَٰقَكُمْ وَرَفَعْنَا فَوْقَكُمُ ٱلطُّورَ خُذُوا۟ مَآ ءَاتَيْنَٰكُم بِقُوَّةٍ وَٱذْكُرُوا۟ مَا فِيهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ
And [recall] when We took your covenant, [O Children of Israel, to abide by the Torah] and We raised over you the mount, [saying], "Take what We have given you with determination and remember what is in it that perhaps you may become righteous."
Holy Quran 2:64
ثُمَّ تَوَلَّيْتُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ ۖ فَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُۥ لَكُنتُم مِّنَ ٱلْخَٰسِرِينَ
Then you turned away after that. And if not for the favor of Allah upon you and His mercy, you would have been among the losers.
Holy Quran 5:60
------------------
قُلْ هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُم بِشَرٍّ مِّن ذَٰلِكَ مَثُوبَةً عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ مَن لَّعَنَهُ ٱللَّهُ وَغَضِبَ عَلَيْهِ وَجَعَلَ مِنْهُمُ ٱلْقِرَدَةَ وَٱلْخَنَازِيرَ وَعَبَدَ ٱلطَّٰغُوتَ ۚ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا وَأَضَلُّ عَن سَوَآءِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ
Say, "Shall I inform you of [what is] worse than that as penalty from Allah? [It is that of] those whom Allah has cursed and with whom He became angry and made of them apes and pigs {to a conscience constitution of apes & pigs} and slaves of Taghut {false gods or things of worship like money}. Those are worse in position and further astray from the sound way."
Holy Quran 5:61
------------------
وَإِذَا جَآءُوكُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا وَقَد دَّخَلُوا۟ بِٱلْكُفْرِ وَهُمْ قَدْ خَرَجُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْتُمُونَ
And when they come to you, they say, "We believe." But they have entered with disbelief [in their hearts], and they have certainly left with it [disbelief]. And Allah is most knowing of what they were concealing.
Holy Quran 5:62
------------------
وَتَرَىٰ كَثِيرًا مِّنْهُمْ يُسَٰرِعُونَ فِى ٱلْإِثْمِ وَٱلْعُدْوَٰنِ وَأَكْلِهِمُ ٱلسُّحْتَ ۚ لَبِئْسَ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ
And you see many of them hastening into sin and aggression and the devouring of [what is] unlawful [in partaking action, speech/behavior and in ways of sustenance like foods & drink]. How wretched is what they have been doing.
Holy Quran 5:63
------------------
لَوْلَا يَنْهَىٰهُمُ ٱلرَّبَّٰنِيُّونَ وَٱلْأَحْبَارُ عَن قَوْلِهِمُ ٱلْإِثْمَ وَأَكْلِهِمُ ٱلسُّحْتَ ۚ لَبِئْسَ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَصْنَعُونَ
Why do the rabbis and religious scholars not forbid them from saying [and doing] what is sinful and devouring what is unlawful? How wretched is what they have been practicing.
Holy Quran 2:65
وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱعْتَدَوْا۟ مِنكُمْ فِى ٱلسَّبْتِ فَقُلْنَا لَهُمْ كُونُوا۟ قِرَدَةً خَٰسِـِٔينَ
And you had already known about those who transgressed among you concerning the sabbath {Saturday}, and We said to them, "Be apes, despised."
Holy Quran 7:166
فَلَمَّا عَتَوْا۟ عَن مَّا نُهُوا۟ عَنْهُ قُلْنَا لَهُمْ كُونُوا۟ قِرَدَةً خَٰسِـِٔينَ
So when they were insolent about that which they had been forbidden, We said to them, "Be apes, despised."
”BE”...this order/command of Allah spoken upon the accursed children of Israel who persisted in violating the divine laws of Allah had their fitrah (natural disposition, human constitution) overwritten with the behavior of apes. No, they didn’t turn into apes as the verse might lead someone to believe, but rather its the conscience that is overwritten. As the ape acts normally to himself (his functional purpose), the behaviour of apes enacted by human beings (who have a different functional purpose) becomes something wildly intolerable and grotesque. The ape is dressed (his fur) yet he still appears as naked. His bedroom life is performed out in the open...These two characteristics are prominent in Western culture as human beings have adopted fashions that too are either so tight or less covering that we too are dressed but appear to be naked. This of course comes with the promiscuity of a sexual revolution in part to the feminist movement that desecrates marriage and promotes sexual explorations that further fragment society with hyper-sexual activity publicly {including all media platforms}.
This behaviour is manifesting within modern western civilization, and inevitably leads to destruction.
Herein lies a gem of understanding...Fitrah (the natural disposition) of creation is the constitution written upon every soul that will become its functioning manifestation in worldly life. The prophet s.a.w said, “Allah created mankind upon fitrah (natural disposition of tawheed (monotheism) submission to the creator, then it is the parents that make him/her a Jew, christian, Zoroastrian; have you not looked at the way animals give birth to a normal offspring, have you witnessed any that were born mutalated ? In comparison, mankind is mutalated (at a disadvantage) without this constitution upon him/herself.
This can be further understood from a person born with both reproductive organs (pen-us & vagina). Although this person may grow up confused or thinking they have a choice (to lead a life as a male or female), it becomes incumbent upon the parents to find out which of the two reproductive organs is the one functioning, because this will be upon the constitutional function written upon that soul. So, to believe that Allah/god punishes homosexual acts, but at the same time creates them is absurd and very shallow intellect.
Holy Quran 67:23
------------------
قُلْ هُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنشَأَكُمْ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَٱلْأَبْصَٰرَ وَٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةَ ۖ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُونَ
Say, "It is He who has produced you and made for you hearing and vision and hearts [emotions]; little are you grateful." [No one is born absent of all three]. The acclaimed neurosurgeon Wilder Penfielf, describes the faculties of hearing and vision require the presence of a soul. It is this conscious that deciphers auditory and visual information received through corresponding organs within the body...
Volume 4, Book 54, Number 430:Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mus'ud:
Allah's prophet s.a.w, the true and truly inspired said, "(The matter of the Creation of) a human being is put together in the womb of the mother in forty days, and then he becomes a clot of thick blood for a similar period, and then a piece of flesh for a similar period. Then Allah sends an angel who is ordered to write four things. He is ordered to write down the sexual gender, deeds (whether he will be blessed or wretched (in religion) is livelihood, his (date of) death. Then the soul is breathed into him. So, a man amongst you may do (good deeds till there is only a cubit between him and Paradise and then what has been written for him decides his behavior and he starts doing (evil) deeds characteristic of the people of the (Hell) Fire. And similarly a man amongst you may do (evil) deeds till there is only a cubit between him and the (Hell) Fire, and then what has been written for him decides his behavior, and he starts doing deeds characteristic of the people of Paradise."
Allah creates as he wills, and from his wisdoms we know that somethings including people have been created to serve evil, and thus be a test upon those who are righteous.
Holy Quran 22:40
------------------
ٱلَّذِينَ أُخْرِجُوا۟ مِن دِيَٰرِهِم بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ إِلَّآ أَن يَقُولُوا۟ رَبُّنَا ٱللَّهُ ۗ وَلَوْلَا دَفْعُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلنَّاسَ بَعْضَهُم بِبَعْضٍ لَّهُدِّمَتْ صَوَٰمِعُ وَبِيَعٌ وَصَلَوَٰتٌ وَمَسَٰجِدُ يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا ٱسْمُ ٱللَّهِ كَثِيرًا ۗ وَلَيَنصُرَنَّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَنصُرُهُۥٓ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَقَوِىٌّ عَزِيزٌ
[They are] those who have been evicted from their homes without right - only because they say, "Our Lord is Allah." And were it not that Allah checks the people, some by means of others {war}, there would have been demolished monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which the name of Allah is much mentioned. And Allah will surely support those who support Him. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might.
This verse paints the history of the world since Moses a.s and his nation. Prior as we read in the quran all the stories of previous nation that went astray in their transgressions. After raising his prophets among those many nations to recall those peoples back to righteous conduct, after doing so, those prophets some with a multitude of followers like Yunus a.s (Jona) or very few like Nuh a.s (Noah)...Those prophets made their supplications upon the erring peoples and Allah would send destruction by way of his Angels, or by wind, or sound, or water etc. However, since Musa a.s (Moses) evil is checked with righteousness through warfare. Prophets who also led armies {Moses, David, Solomon, Talut {Saul bible accompanied by Prophet Samuel, and Muhammad peace on all of them. Unlike now when there is no prophet among us, nor any leadership among the Muslims...There still remains righteousness on the side of orthodoxy {those who still adhere to submission} among the nations of people in Christianity who have reset the moral compasses on the trespasses of evil and resist them imposing upon mankind complete tyranny. So, while many might look at the conditions of Muslims around the world, the fight against evil is a coalition of the righteous not just Muslims, and just when the pressures are the greatest that’s when the divine correction comes...Just wait and see!!!

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلًا مِّن قَبْلِكَ مِنْهُم مَّن قَصَصْنَا عَلَيْكَ وَمِنْهُم مَّن لَّمْ نَقْصُصْ عَلَيْكَ ۗ وَمَا كَانَ لِرَسُولٍ أَن يَأْتِىَ بِـَٔايَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَمْرُ ٱللَّهِ قُضِىَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَخَسِرَ هُنَالِكَ ٱلْمُبْطِلُونَ
And We have already sent messengers before you. Among them are those [whose stories] We have related to you, and among them are those [whose stories] We have not related to you. And it was not for any messenger to bring a sign [or verse] except by permission of Allah. So when the command of Allah comes, it will be concluded in truth, and the falsifiers will thereupon lose [all].
Holy Quran 10:95
------------------
وَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْخَٰسِرِينَ
And never be of those who deny the signs of Allah and [thus] be among the losers.
Holy Quran 4:52
------------------
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ۖ وَمَن يَلْعَنِ ٱللَّهُ فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُۥ نَصِيرًا
Those are the ones whom Allah has cursed; and he whom Allah curses - never will you find for him a helper.
The curse of Allah is as he wills, but in the case of fitrah {conscience} an individual or group who persist in disbelief, in practicing moral behavior, corruption, & denial...they race towards their own destruction forcedly by their own behaviour unable to stop. This maybe why the corrupt can’t stand to be reminded of their error and chastise the righteous with mockery because no matter what they are cursed to continue in their ways. This is a consciousness or better yet a state of the soul by which Allah addresses Satan.
Holy Quran 7:11
------------------
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَٰكُمْ ثُمَّ صَوَّرْنَٰكُمْ ثُمَّ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ ٱسْجُدُوا۟ لِءَادَمَ فَسَجَدُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ لَمْ يَكُن مِّنَ ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ
And We have certainly created you, [O Mankind], and given you [human] form. Then We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam" {prostration of respect for what Allah created}; so they [Angels] prostrated, except for Iblees. He was not of those who prostrated.
Holy Quran 18:50
------------------
وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ ٱسْجُدُوا۟ لِءَادَمَ فَسَجَدُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْجِنِّ فَفَسَقَ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِۦٓ ۗ أَفَتَتَّخِذُونَهُۥ وَذُرِّيَّتَهُۥٓ أَوْلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِى وَهُمْ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّۢ ۚ بِئْسَ لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ بَدَلًا
And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except for Iblees. He [Iblees] was of the jinn and departed from the command of his Lord. Then will you take him [Iblees] and his descendants as allies other than Me [Allah] while they are enemies to you? Wretched it is for the wrongdoers as an exchange.
The term Iblis [Ibless] (Arabic: إِبْلِيس) may have been derived from the Arabic verbal root “bls’ ب-ل-س (with the broad meaning of "remain in grief") or بَلَسَ (balasa, "he despaired"). Furthermore, the name is related to talbis meaning ‘confusion’. Another possibility is that it is derived from Ancient Greek διάβολος (diábolos), via a Syriac intermediary, which is also the source of the English word 'devil'. Yet, another possibility relates this name back to the bene [bin] Elohim (Sons of God), who had been identified with fallen angels in pagan works Attributing sons and daughters to Allah along with gender to angels... but These thoughts were also singularized under the name of their leader [Satan, Lucifer {bearer of light}, Ezekiel {the honored one}.
Holy Quran 7:38
------------------
قَالَ ٱدْخُلُوا۟ فِىٓ أُمَمٍ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلْجِنِّ وَٱلْإِنسِ فِى ٱلنَّارِ ۖ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَتْ أُمَّةٌ لَّعَنَتْ أُخْتَهَا ۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا ٱدَّارَكُوا۟ فِيهَا جَمِيعًا قَالَتْ أُخْرَىٰهُمْ لِأُولَىٰهُمْ رَبَّنَا هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ أَضَلُّونَا فَـَٔاتِهِمْ عَذَابًا ضِعْفًا مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِ ۖ قَالَ لِكُلٍّ ضِعْفٌ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تَعْلَمُونَ
[Allah] will say [future tense], "Enter among [previous] nations which had passed on before you of jinn and mankind into the Fire." Every time a nation enters [hell], it will curse its sister [nation] until, when they have all been overtaken one another therein, the last of them will say about the first of them "Our Lord, these had misled us, so give them a double punishment of the Fire.” He will say, "For each is double, but you do not know." [or fail to understand].
Thus it has become quite obvious that by “And when We intend to destroy a town” is not meant that Allah intends to destroy it without any reason. It is destroyed because after their disobedience that habitation incurs just wrath and Allah totally exterminates it. The habitation deserves such a punishment because its common people follow the affluent people who are the factual leaders of a community and are mainly responsible for the corruption of the community. At first the affluent people commit acts of disobedience, wickedness, mischief, cruelty and tyranny and then the common people follow them and incur the torment of Allah.
Holy Quran 6:112
------------------
وَكَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِىٍّ عَدُوًّا شَيَٰطِينَ ٱلْإِنسِ وَٱلْجِنِّ يُوحِى بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَىٰ بَعْضٍ زُخْرُفَ ٱلْقَوْلِ غُرُورًا ۚ وَلَوْ شَآءَ رَبُّكَ مَا فَعَلُوهُ ۖ فَذَرْهُمْ وَمَا يَفْتَرُونَ
And thus We have made for every prophet an enemy - devils from mankind and jinn, inspiring to one another decorative speech in delusion. But if your Lord had willed, they would not have done it, so leave them and that which they invent.
Incidentally, this is a warning for every community that it should be very discreet and prudent in choosing and electing its leaders and rulers, for if the latter are mean and wicked, they will inevitably lead the community to destruction.

Holy Quran 33:67
وَقَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَآ إِنَّآ أَطَعْنَا سَادَتَنَا وَكُبَرَآءَنَا فَأَضَلُّونَا ٱلسَّبِيلَا۠
And they will say, "Our Lord, indeed we obeyed our masters and our dignitaries, and they led us astray from the [right] way.
Holy Quran 11:116
فَلَوْلَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْقُرُونِ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ أُو۟لُوا۟ بَقِيَّةٍ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلْفَسَادِ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِّمَّنْ أَنجَيْنَا مِنْهُمْ ۗ وَٱتَّبَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ مَآ أُتْرِفُوا۟ فِيهِ وَكَانُوا۟ مُجْرِمِينَ
So why were there not among the generations before you those of enduring discrimination forbidding corruption on earth - except a few of those We saved [firm in belief] from among them? But those who wronged pursued what luxury they were given therein, and they were criminals.
Holy Quran 11:117
وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ لِيُهْلِكَ ٱلْقُرَىٰ بِظُلْمٍ وَأَهْلُهَا مُصْلِحُونَ
And your Lord would not have destroyed the cities unjustly while their people were reformers.
In the past, those civilizations erred upon themselves in many forms of extravagances. Fast-forward to today, and you find humanity faced with a reality that has never been encountered before, although all the precursors towards destruction are carried out. Unlike previous nations, the technological advancements of our modern era is leading humanity into a faster and faster moving virtually reality that is being forcefully superimposed down upon what is real in order to force upon humanity a type of enslavement that will revenge the Jinn over mankind during their last imprisonment to Sulaiman a.s (Solomon) {see my page on the topic}. Detached from all other creation, mankind is herded to cities where his conscience experiences are moreso electronic interfaces rather than real...

Modern Western civilization has been crafted & designed upon the sychronization of all previous civilizations, supposedly capitalizing on all their strengths while avoiding all their bad choices. Along with that, their technological advancements (enabled by the Jinn) has put them on a consistent linear line of infinite progression, which is in other words not meant to fail or be overtaken (either by man or divinely). Unlike previous nations, history won’t repeat itself and so religion (stories of previously destroyed nations) is now trumped {USA president} (literally at the moment metaphorically lol) by Science.
But among that indicators that a nation will fail are taken from these verses:
Holy Quran 17:22

And do not approach the property of an orphan, except in the way that is best, until he reaches maturity. And fulfill [every] commitment. Indeed, the commitment is ever [that about which one will be] questioned.
The rights of the Orphan, (today orphans are quickly swept away into human-trafficking syndicates).
Holy Quran 17:35
------------------
وَأَوْفُوا۟ ٱلْكَيْلَ إِذَا كِلْتُمْ وَزِنُوا۟ بِٱلْقِسْطَاسِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَحْسَنُ تَأْوِيلًا
And give full measure when you measure, and weigh with an even balance. That is the best [way] and best in result.
Fair Business Dealing (to Include economy and permissible money gold & silver)
Holy Quran 17:36
------------------
وَلَا تَقْفُ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِۦ عِلْمٌ ۚ إِنَّ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَٱلْبَصَرَ وَٱلْفُؤَادَ كُلُّ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ كَانَ عَنْهُ مَسْـُٔولًا
And do not pursue that of which you have no knowledge. Indeed, the hearing, the sight and the heart - about all those [one] will be questioned.
Public Opinions should be held to Facts
Holy Quran 17:37
------------------
وَلَا تَمْشِ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مَرَحًا ۖ إِنَّكَ لَن تَخْرِقَ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَلَن تَبْلُغَ ٱلْجِبَالَ طُولًا
And do not walk upon the earth exultantly. Indeed, you will never tear the earth [apart], and you will never reach the mountains in height.
Don’t Exalt Oneself, be Boastful
Holy Quran 17:38
------------------
كُلُّ ذَٰلِكَ كَانَ سَيِّئُهُۥ عِندَ رَبِّكَ مَكْرُوهًا
All that - its evil is ever, in the sight of your Lord, detested.
Holy Quran 17:39
------------------
ذَٰلِكَ مِمَّآ أَوْحَىٰٓ إِلَيْكَ رَبُّكَ مِنَ ٱلْحِكْمَةِ ۗ وَلَا تَجْعَلْ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتُلْقَىٰ فِى جَهَنَّمَ مَلُومًا مَّدْحُورًا
That is from what your Lord has revealed to you, [O Muhammad], of wisdom. And, [O mankind], do not make [as equal] with Allah another deity, lest you be thrown into Hell, blamed and banished.
Of the highlighted 13 signs in behavior and morals that mark the destruction of a civilization...do you still find any of these thriving or persevering within society?
Then wait for Destruction...
- Monotheism {belief in One God} first of Ten Commandments {Torah}.
- Obedience in divine laws (prohibited and permissive) this is true worship, as to the rituals of prayer etc also follow proper methods which are also permissible & prohibited.
- Honouring parents and the solidarity of the family
- Personal Integrity
- Holding fast to the bonds of extended family, and community
- Don’t hoard nor Impoverish yourselves
- (Abortion) Disbelief in the Decree of Allah, our livelihoods are written upon our constitution to manifest within our worldly lives, so to further act out of fear is disbelief
- Defaming the Institution of marriage and its sacredness. Marriage promotes family, family brotherhood, brotherhood justice and Justice is what upholds a community/nation state.
- Unjustified Murder
- The rights of the Orphan, (today orphans are quickly swept away into human-trafficking syndicates).
- Fair Business Dealing (to Include economy and permissible money gold & silver)
- Public Opinions should be held to Facts
- Don’t Exalt Oneself, be Boastful
Then wait for Destruction...
Those that consider themselves GodSociety can’t be held to moral conduct by the few who wish to live according to our purpose, while the jurisprudence of divine laws (through the permissble & prohibited) gives us our standards of conduct and individual mannerisms which hold society firmly within the parameters or righteous conduct.
|
Loyalties are gone because they are no longer incentives of assurance for those who are loyal in receiving the same in reciprocation, while simultaneously corruption has a much stronger hold over the one who indulges by the one who holds their secrets. O’ the allure of temptations...the same now as it has always been.
Holy Quran 10:88
وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ ءَاتَيْتَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَأَهُۥ زِينَةً وَأَمْوَٰلًا فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا رَبَّنَا لِيُضِلُّوا۟ عَن سَبِيلِكَ ۖ رَبَّنَا ٱطْمِسْ عَلَىٰٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ وَٱشْدُدْ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَلَا يُؤْمِنُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ
And Moses said, "Our Lord, indeed You have given Pharaoh and his establishment splendor and wealth in the worldly life, our Lord, that they may lead [men] astray from Your way. Our Lord, obliterate their wealth and harden their hearts so that they will not believe until they see the painful punishment."
Holy Quran 10:89
------------------
قَالَ قَدْ أُجِيبَت دَّعْوَتُكُمَا فَٱسْتَقِيمَا وَلَا تَتَّبِعَآنِّ سَبِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
[Allah] said, "Your supplication has been answered." So remain on a right course and follow not the way of those who do not know."
Holy Quran 10:88
وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ ءَاتَيْتَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَأَهُۥ زِينَةً وَأَمْوَٰلًا فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا رَبَّنَا لِيُضِلُّوا۟ عَن سَبِيلِكَ ۖ رَبَّنَا ٱطْمِسْ عَلَىٰٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ وَٱشْدُدْ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَلَا يُؤْمِنُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ
And Moses said, "Our Lord, indeed You have given Pharaoh and his establishment splendor and wealth in the worldly life, our Lord, that they may lead [men] astray from Your way. Our Lord, obliterate their wealth and harden their hearts so that they will not believe until they see the painful punishment."
- This prayer was offered by Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) during the last period of his stay in Egypt. There was a long interval between this and the events mentioned in the preceding verse which happened during the early days of his mission. The details of this intervening period are available at other places in the Quran. Every system of tyranny is supported by a massive monetary budget that is used to impress upon the people unyielding power, and or used to defame divinity or claims it for itself. The Arabic word zeenat includes the magnificence, grandeur, glory and the apparent brilliance of their culture and civilization which attracted other people towards them with the desire of imitating them. “Wealth”, possessions, resources and means which help the people like Pharaoh to put into practice all their devices and plans, and the lack of which prevents the standard bearers of the truth from carrying out their plans. As it has already been stated, Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) made this prayer during the last period of his stay in Egypt. When he had shown many signs, one after the other, to Pharaoh and his chiefs and pointed out the way clearly to them, but they had persisted obdurately in their antagonism to the truth. The Prophet begged his Lord to destroy their possessions and harden their hearts. And this was in accordance with the decree of Allah. As they had merited this punishment according to the divine law of retribution, Allah decreed that they should not get the light of faith, which they themselves had extinguished with their persistent disbelief.
Holy Quran 10:89
------------------
قَالَ قَدْ أُجِيبَت دَّعْوَتُكُمَا فَٱسْتَقِيمَا وَلَا تَتَّبِعَآنِّ سَبِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
[Allah] said, "Your supplication has been answered." So remain on a right course and follow not the way of those who do not know."
- In this verse, Allah has urged Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) and his followers to guard against a common misunderstanding that is likely to arise in such cases. It so happens that those people who have no knowledge of the reality and who do not understand the wisdom of Allah’s ways are liable to believe from the apparent success of His {Allah’s} enemies that perhaps it is His {Allah} will that they should dominate in the world. When they witness the failures of the upholders of the truth in their conflict with falsehood in contrast to the splendor and vast possessions of the champions of falsehood, they begin to think that Allah does not will to help the truth in its conflict with falsehood. Therefore some foolish people further conclude from these wrong suppositions that it is useless to exert for the establishment of the truth. Then they consider it to be the best and most proper thing to rest content with the little religiosity that the sovereignty of falsehood and unbelief allows them. That is why Allah has urged Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) and his followers to guard against such a misunderstanding and to carry on the mission entrusted to them with patience under the adverse circumstances.
Holy Quran 10:90
------------------
۞ وَجَٰوَزْنَا بِبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱلْبَحْرَ فَأَتْبَعَهُمْ فِرْعَوْنُ وَجُنُودُهُۥ بَغْيًا وَعَدْوًا ۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَدْرَكَهُ ٱلْغَرَقُ قَالَ ءَامَنتُ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِىٓ ءَامَنَتْ بِهِۦ بَنُوٓا۟ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ
And We took the Children of Israel across the sea, and Pharaoh and his soldiers pursued them in tyranny and enmity until, when drowning overtook him, he said, "I believe that there is no deity except that in whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am of the Muslims."{submitting}
Holy Quran 10:91
------------------
ءَآلْـَٰٔنَ وَقَدْ عَصَيْتَ قَبْلُ وَكُنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ
Now[Pharaoh, Allah says to him]? And you had disobeyed before and were of the corrupters?
Holy Quran 10:92
------------------
فَٱلْيَوْمَ نُنَجِّيكَ بِبَدَنِكَ لِتَكُونَ لِمَنْ خَلْفَكَ ءَايَةً ۚ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ عَنْ ءَايَٰتِنَا لَغَٰفِلُونَ
So today We will save you in body that you may be to those who succeed you a sign. And indeed, many among the people, of Our signs, are heedless
Today the place, where the dead body of Pharaoh was found floating, is pointed out by the inhabitants of that region. It lies on the western coast of the Sinai Peninsula and is now known by the name of Jabl-ul-Firaun (Pharaoh’s Mount). There is also near to it a hot spring called Hammam-ul-Firaun (Pharaoh’s Bath). When Sir Grafton E. Smith removed the bandages from his mummy, a layer of salt was found on the body, which was a clear proof that he was drowned in the sea. That is, We show signs to the people over and over again so that these should serve as warnings and be the means of teaching them lessons, but it is a pity that they do not learn lessons even from such signs as the dead body of Pharaoh.
------------------
۞ وَجَٰوَزْنَا بِبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱلْبَحْرَ فَأَتْبَعَهُمْ فِرْعَوْنُ وَجُنُودُهُۥ بَغْيًا وَعَدْوًا ۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَدْرَكَهُ ٱلْغَرَقُ قَالَ ءَامَنتُ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِىٓ ءَامَنَتْ بِهِۦ بَنُوٓا۟ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ
And We took the Children of Israel across the sea, and Pharaoh and his soldiers pursued them in tyranny and enmity until, when drowning overtook him, he said, "I believe that there is no deity except that in whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am of the Muslims."{submitting}
- This delusion of the Tyrannical establishment engulfs and drives them to persistence even after being check-mated in their arrogances. This brings about a divine punishment {intervention for the righteous}, and a final realization of conscience in the truth by tyranny...
Holy Quran 10:91
------------------
ءَآلْـَٰٔنَ وَقَدْ عَصَيْتَ قَبْلُ وَكُنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ
Now[Pharaoh, Allah says to him]? And you had disobeyed before and were of the corrupters?
- This type of superior/inferior system which divides the people into classes while promoting its own superiority is the sign of all signs.
Holy Quran 10:92
------------------
فَٱلْيَوْمَ نُنَجِّيكَ بِبَدَنِكَ لِتَكُونَ لِمَنْ خَلْفَكَ ءَايَةً ۚ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ عَنْ ءَايَٰتِنَا لَغَٰفِلُونَ
So today We will save you in body that you may be to those who succeed you a sign. And indeed, many among the people, of Our signs, are heedless
Today the place, where the dead body of Pharaoh was found floating, is pointed out by the inhabitants of that region. It lies on the western coast of the Sinai Peninsula and is now known by the name of Jabl-ul-Firaun (Pharaoh’s Mount). There is also near to it a hot spring called Hammam-ul-Firaun (Pharaoh’s Bath). When Sir Grafton E. Smith removed the bandages from his mummy, a layer of salt was found on the body, which was a clear proof that he was drowned in the sea. That is, We show signs to the people over and over again so that these should serve as warnings and be the means of teaching them lessons, but it is a pity that they do not learn lessons even from such signs as the dead body of Pharaoh.
So what took place prior to Pharaoh being drowned and what was the condition of the people around him?
Holy Quran 43:46
------------------ وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَىٰ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَإِي۟هِۦ فَقَالَ إِنِّى رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ And certainly did We send Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his establishment, and he said, "Indeed, I am the messenger of the Lord of the worlds." Holy Quran 43:47 ------------------ فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُم بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ إِذَا هُم مِّنْهَا يَضْحَكُونَ But when he brought them Our signs, at once they laughed at them. |
Holy Quran 43:48
------------------
وَمَا نُرِيهِم مِّنْ ءَايَةٍ إِلَّا هِىَ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ أُخْتِهَا ۖ وَأَخَذْنَٰهُم بِٱلْعَذَابِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ
And We showed them not a sign except that it was greater than its sister [previous sign], and We seized them with affliction that perhaps they might return [to faith].
------------------
وَقَالُوا۟ يَٰٓأَيُّهَ ٱلسَّاحِرُ ٱدْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِندَكَ إِنَّنَا لَمُهْتَدُونَ
And they said [to Moses], "O magician, invoke for us your Lord by what He has promised you. Indeed, we will be guided."
Holy Quran 43:50
------------------
فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابَ إِذَا هُمْ يَنكُثُونَ
But when We removed from them the affliction, at once they broke their word.
------------------
وَنَادَىٰ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى قَوْمِهِۦ قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ أَلَيْسَ لِى مُلْكُ مِصْرَ وَهَٰذِهِ ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِىٓ ۖ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ
And Pharaoh called out among his people; he said, "O my people, does not the kingdom of Egypt belong to me, and these rivers flowing beneath me; then do you not see?
Holy Quran 43:52
------------------
أَمْ أَنَا۠ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى هُوَ مَهِينٌ وَلَا يَكَادُ يُبِينُ
Or am I [not] better than this one who is insignificant and hardly makes himself clear?
Holy Quran 43:53
------------------
فَلَوْلَآ أُلْقِىَ عَلَيْهِ أَسْوِرَةٌ مِّن ذَهَبٍ أَوْ جَآءَ مَعَهُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ مُقْتَرِنِينَ
Then why have there not been placed upon him bracelets of gold or come with him the angels in conjunction?"
Holy Quran 43:54
------------------
فَٱسْتَخَفَّ قَوْمَهُۥ فَأَطَاعُوهُ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا فَٰسِقِينَ
So he bluffed his people, and they obeyed him. Indeed, they were [themselves] a people defiantly disobedient [of Allah].
Holy Quran 43:55
------------------
فَلَمَّآ ءَاسَفُونَا ٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَأَغْرَقْنَٰهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
And when they angered Us [{Allah} royal plural of power], We took retribution from them and drowned them all.
Holy Quran 43:56
------------------
فَجَعَلْنَٰهُمْ سَلَفًا وَمَثَلًا لِّلْءَاخِرِينَ
And We made them a precedent and an example for the later peoples [who would act in a similar fashion].
------------------
وَمَا نُرِيهِم مِّنْ ءَايَةٍ إِلَّا هِىَ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ أُخْتِهَا ۖ وَأَخَذْنَٰهُم بِٱلْعَذَابِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ
And We showed them not a sign except that it was greater than its sister [previous sign], and We seized them with affliction that perhaps they might return [to faith].
- Signs in nature, our own immortality, Economically etc.
------------------
وَقَالُوا۟ يَٰٓأَيُّهَ ٱلسَّاحِرُ ٱدْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِندَكَ إِنَّنَا لَمُهْتَدُونَ
And they said [to Moses], "O magician, invoke for us your Lord by what He has promised you. Indeed, we will be guided."
- Today the equivalent would be something trying to be explained away by science
Holy Quran 43:50
------------------
فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابَ إِذَا هُمْ يَنكُثُونَ
But when We removed from them the affliction, at once they broke their word.

Then why have there not been placed upon him bracelets of gold or come with him the angels in conjunction?"
- Self-Worth gives validation of Entitlement & Rule, not for the poor something American elections has fallen victim to large campaigning bribes
Holy Quran 43:54
------------------
فَٱسْتَخَفَّ قَوْمَهُۥ فَأَطَاعُوهُ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا فَٰسِقِينَ

------------------ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِ ٱسْتَعِينُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱصْبِرُوٓا۟ ۖ إِنَّ ٱلْأَرْضَ لِلَّهِ يُورِثُهَا مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ ۖ وَٱلْعَٰقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ Said Moses to his people, "Seek help through Allah and be patient. Indeed, the earth belongs to Allah. He causes to inherit it whom He wills of His servants. And the [best] outcome is for the righteous." |
Holy Quran 7:129
------------------
قَالُوٓا۟ أُوذِينَا مِن قَبْلِ أَن تَأْتِيَنَا وَمِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جِئْتَنَا ۚ قَالَ عَسَىٰ رَبُّكُمْ أَن يُهْلِكَ عَدُوَّكُمْ وَيَسْتَخْلِفَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرَ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُونَ
They said [the people of Moses a.s], "We have been harmed before you came to us [before prophethood of Moses] and after you have come to us [during his prophethood]." He [Moses] said, "Perhaps your Lord will destroy your enemy and grant you succession in the land and see how you will do."
Holy Quran 7:130
------------------
وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَآ ءَالَ فِرْعَوْنَ بِٱلسِّنِينَ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ
And We certainly seized the people of Pharaoh with years of famine and a deficiency in fruits that perhaps they would be reminded.
Holy Quran 7:131
------------------
فَإِذَا جَآءَتْهُمُ ٱلْحَسَنَةُ قَالُوا۟ لَنَا هَٰذِهِۦ ۖ وَإِن تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَةٌ يَطَّيَّرُوا۟ بِمُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ ۗ أَلَآ إِنَّمَا طَٰٓئِرُهُمْ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
But when good came to them, they said, "This is ours [by right]." And if a bad [condition] struck them, they saw an evil omen in Moses {blaming Moses with his presence in his court} and those with him. Unquestionably, their fortune is with Allah, but most of them do not know.
Holy Quran 7:132
------------------
وَقَالُوا۟ مَهْمَا تَأْتِنَا بِهِۦ مِنْ ءَايَةٍ لِّتَسْحَرَنَا بِهَا فَمَا نَحْنُ لَكَ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ
And they said, "No matter what sign you bring us with which to bewitch us, we will not be believers in you."
Holy Quran 7:133
------------------
فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلطُّوفَانَ وَٱلْجَرَادَ وَٱلْقُمَّلَ وَٱلضَّفَادِعَ وَٱلدَّمَ ءَايَٰتٍ مُّفَصَّلَٰتٍ فَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ وَكَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا مُّجْرِمِينَ
So We [Allah] sent upon them the flood and locusts and lice and frogs and blood as distinct signs, but they were arrogant and were a criminal people.
Holy Quran 7:134
------------------
وَلَمَّا وَقَعَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلرِّجْزُ قَالُوا۟ يَٰمُوسَى ٱدْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِندَكَ ۖ لَئِن كَشَفْتَ عَنَّا ٱلرِّجْزَ لَنُؤْمِنَنَّ لَكَ وَلَنُرْسِلَنَّ مَعَكَ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
And when the punishment descended upon them, they said, "O Moses, invoke for us your Lord by what He has promised you. If you [can] remove the punishment from us, we will surely believe you, and we will send with you the Children of Israel."
Holy Quran 7:136
------------------
فَٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَأَغْرَقْنَٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَكَانُوا۟ عَنْهَا غَٰفِلِينَ
So We [Allah] took retribution from them, and We drowned them in the sea because they denied Our signs and were heedless of them.
Holy Quran 7:137
------------------
وَأَوْرَثْنَا ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا۟ يُسْتَضْعَفُونَ مَشَٰرِقَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَغَٰرِبَهَا ٱلَّتِى بَٰرَكْنَا فِيهَا ۖ وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ عَلَىٰ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ بِمَا صَبَرُوا۟ ۖ وَدَمَّرْنَا مَا كَانَ يَصْنَعُ فِرْعَوْنُ وَقَوْمُهُۥ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْرِشُونَ
And We [Allah] caused the people who had been oppressed to inherit the eastern regions of the land and the western ones, which We had blessed. And the good word of your Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel because of what they had patiently endured. And We destroyed [all] that Pharaoh and his people were producing and what they had been building.
------------------
قَالُوٓا۟ أُوذِينَا مِن قَبْلِ أَن تَأْتِيَنَا وَمِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جِئْتَنَا ۚ قَالَ عَسَىٰ رَبُّكُمْ أَن يُهْلِكَ عَدُوَّكُمْ وَيَسْتَخْلِفَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرَ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُونَ
They said [the people of Moses a.s], "We have been harmed before you came to us [before prophethood of Moses] and after you have come to us [during his prophethood]." He [Moses] said, "Perhaps your Lord will destroy your enemy and grant you succession in the land and see how you will do."
- This is the conclusion of previous nations destroyed, a granting of the land to those who remained with their prophets guidance in succession of the land.
Holy Quran 7:130
------------------
وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَآ ءَالَ فِرْعَوْنَ بِٱلسِّنِينَ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ
And We certainly seized the people of Pharaoh with years of famine and a deficiency in fruits that perhaps they would be reminded.
- Again, signs that remind mankind he is powerless in his arrogances. The signs begin less in severity and grow with turmoil as they are denied.
Holy Quran 7:131
------------------
فَإِذَا جَآءَتْهُمُ ٱلْحَسَنَةُ قَالُوا۟ لَنَا هَٰذِهِۦ ۖ وَإِن تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَةٌ يَطَّيَّرُوا۟ بِمُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ ۗ أَلَآ إِنَّمَا طَٰٓئِرُهُمْ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
But when good came to them, they said, "This is ours [by right]." And if a bad [condition] struck them, they saw an evil omen in Moses {blaming Moses with his presence in his court} and those with him. Unquestionably, their fortune is with Allah, but most of them do not know.
Holy Quran 7:132
------------------
وَقَالُوا۟ مَهْمَا تَأْتِنَا بِهِۦ مِنْ ءَايَةٍ لِّتَسْحَرَنَا بِهَا فَمَا نَحْنُ لَكَ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ
And they said, "No matter what sign you bring us with which to bewitch us, we will not be believers in you."
Holy Quran 7:133
------------------
فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلطُّوفَانَ وَٱلْجَرَادَ وَٱلْقُمَّلَ وَٱلضَّفَادِعَ وَٱلدَّمَ ءَايَٰتٍ مُّفَصَّلَٰتٍ فَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ وَكَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا مُّجْرِمِينَ
So We [Allah] sent upon them the flood and locusts and lice and frogs and blood as distinct signs, but they were arrogant and were a criminal people.
- Signs that no longer just afflicted the economy, these were signs that also caused discomforts upon every facet of society.
Holy Quran 7:134
------------------
وَلَمَّا وَقَعَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلرِّجْزُ قَالُوا۟ يَٰمُوسَى ٱدْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِندَكَ ۖ لَئِن كَشَفْتَ عَنَّا ٱلرِّجْزَ لَنُؤْمِنَنَّ لَكَ وَلَنُرْسِلَنَّ مَعَكَ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
And when the punishment descended upon them, they said, "O Moses, invoke for us your Lord by what He has promised you. If you [can] remove the punishment from us, we will surely believe you, and we will send with you the Children of Israel."
Holy Quran 7:136
------------------
فَٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَأَغْرَقْنَٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَكَانُوا۟ عَنْهَا غَٰفِلِينَ
So We [Allah] took retribution from them, and We drowned them in the sea because they denied Our signs and were heedless of them.
Holy Quran 7:137
------------------
وَأَوْرَثْنَا ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا۟ يُسْتَضْعَفُونَ مَشَٰرِقَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَغَٰرِبَهَا ٱلَّتِى بَٰرَكْنَا فِيهَا ۖ وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ عَلَىٰ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ بِمَا صَبَرُوا۟ ۖ وَدَمَّرْنَا مَا كَانَ يَصْنَعُ فِرْعَوْنُ وَقَوْمُهُۥ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْرِشُونَ
And We [Allah] caused the people who had been oppressed to inherit the eastern regions of the land and the western ones, which We had blessed. And the good word of your Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel because of what they had patiently endured. And We destroyed [all] that Pharaoh and his people were producing and what they had been building.
First Europeans to Encounter lost Ancient Tribes
Something stood out to me the other day while watching a documentary and also recollecting upon the words of an honorable scholar in dissecting the historical landscape of past empirical powers. As I’ve already noted western civilization has been established on the heels of it technological prowess, which it further has aspired many to believe that humanity is now firmly riding a linear line of progression into the future.
|
But in order to establish that, I try my best to transport myself back to the first encounters of what our African & Asian brothers and sisters must of felt in encountering their first white skinned people...At first their may of been a timid ness of freight seeing what appears to be another human being, but he’s colourless. Is he a spirit of an ancestor or angel since white in this case could be mistaken for a being of made of light. But no he’s accompanied by a guide, the guide quickly calms the timid ness of freight, so curiosity takes over and they move in closer to inspect the clothing and gadgets of the new comer. Proudly, the new comer is eager to demonstrate his gadgets and share with them of his small rations, his food, drink, cigarettes and whiskey...But its the loud thunder clap of his lighting stick that leaves whatever the white skinned man points it at dead that quickly returns to them fear, many of them running off a short distance before looking back to see their pig lying dead. This with the intoxication of his whiskey spirits (which bring jinn, calling it spirits), and cigarettes fashions the new comer not like unto themselves but someone who is superior some how.
Lift your shirt....Wait! He has a belly-button like us therefore he too is human. But for the many expeditions of the past who came seeking opportunities of exploitation, they sold themselves as gods, furthering that notion with re-writing scriptures, creating graven images & Idols. Jesus was made to be white slavery was validated by the Catholic Church and colonialization set sail until the world of faith could be fragmented and secularized.
|
This was the culture that was to persist until now, one that would exist parallel to the truth until the truth was forgotten. The arrogances of such minded people to encounter civilizations already flourishing, stealing first anything of cultural or mineral value before imposing upon them technologies that weren’t matched In order to enslave and establish a world system that would bring about the destruction of the world. Everything upon land and see has been corrupted, even things in the intangible world such as time...Time has been change accordingly to serve their paganistic was and so lunar time was abandoned and the Gregorian calendar named after that pope took over by which they begin the record keeping of their history.
Today, America is the culminating power from the three phases of worldly transition in the modern era from Pax Brittanica, Pax Americana, to finally Pax Judaeca...The Covid19 virus surely is a world pandemic, but its such that will try to bring the American economy down slowly ending private capitalism which is to indebted to remain. The transition from a private sector economy to that of a government economy is what we are now witnessing making ready the transfer for Pax Judaeca and one world currency. Since the private sector is being undone with a lock down, the economy is now hinge upon the government. Borrowing even more money, the USA will never be the same and although once the lock-down is lifted the seemingly free grab of money that is offered in all sorts of incentives to jump start the economy will only leave those who accept enslaved by debt if not already so.
While the new T.A.R.P (bailout for Corporations) enables many surviving corporations to gobble up those who have failed or will fail, further consolidating corporate power.
Make ready for government rations is the $1200/month $3400 for family of four as the government tries to save face in from a fail capitalistic system. Because Covid19 has caused a global health pandemic which is linked to the individual directing makes all this loosely look over legislation of bails out easier to push through congress, while if this was a solely linked to the negligence of companies much more scrutiny would have been applied towards refining the parameters of how this bailout is to be used. As a consequence the portion of the bail out reserved for the public is far, far, less than that of Corporations. Even the differences for small business who get incentives for keeping employee staff, while corporations don’t have to keep their employment staff in order to receive bailout monies...
Attacks on Iran {added sanctions}, Somalia, Yemen even during the Covid19 crisises is something ignored completely by western media, while the virus is meant to distract and immobilize people with fear.
We are again in the court of kings and tyrants who consecrate their royalties in attributable fashion to pharaoh with symbolisms and ceremonies all meant to pay homage. WW3 a war the zionist jews thirst for, because its intended to eradicated unaligned nations with the judaeo-christian alliance {jews the sect that disbelieved in Prophet Jesus a.s., and the sect of Christians i mentioned above who were the sabbath & divine law breakers who left Constantinople {modern day Istanbul} to settle Rome as their new capital}, mainly Russia & China. Concise speech, meaning quoted thoughts made for sound bites allows for repetitive concise quotes that can be very meaningful with the utterance of just a few words. So, “ITS ALL A HOAX”! That’s right it is...But when Trump says it he talking about what their doing, while when we say it we’re describing the tricks & deceptions they do...

Some of the people from the Ansār (tribe in medina who took in the migrate muslims with prophet s.aw when they migrated from Mecca to escape the pagan Arabs) asked the Prophet s.a.w (to give them something) and he gave to everyone of them, who asked of him, until all that he had was finished. When everything was finished and he had spent all that was in his hand, he said to them, “(Know) that if I have any wealth, I will not withhold it from you (to keep for somebody else); and (know) that he who refrains from begging others (or doing prohibited deeds), Allah will make him content and not in need of others; and he who remains patient, Allah will bestow more patience upon him, and he who is satisfied with what he has, Allah will make him self-sufficient. There is no better gift more vast (you may be given than patience). [Sahih Bukhari, volume 8, book 76, number 477] |
Holy Quran 103:3
------------------
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ
Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience.
------------------
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ
Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience.
In this Surah an oath has been sworn by the Time to impress the point that man is in sheer loss and only those people are an exception from the loss who are characterized by four qualities:
(1) Faith.
(2) Righteous deeds.
(3) Exhorting one another to truth.
(4) Exhorting one another to patience.
Let us consider each of these parts separately in order to fully understand the meanings.
As for the oath, we have explained several times above that Allah has not sworn an oath by any of the created objects on account of its glory or its excellence and wonderful qualities but for the reason that it testifies to the truth which is meant to be established. Therefore, the oath by Time signifies that Time is witness to the truth that man is in sheer loss except for the people who possess the four qualities.
The word time is used for the past as well as for the passing time of the present; in fact the chapter does not signify any long stretch of time. Every moment, when it has passed, becomes past, and every moment of the future, when it is passing, becomes present, and when it has passed, becomes past. Here, since the oath has been sworn by absolute time, both kinds of time are included in its meaning. The oath by the past time means that human history testifies that the people who were without these qualities, eventually incurred loss, and in order to understand the significance of the oath by the passing time, one should understand that the time which is now passing is, in fact, the time which has been given to every single individual and every single nation to work in the world.
The speed with which this time is passing can be estimated from the movement of the secondhand in the watch. Even a second is a considerable amount of time, for during this very second light travels 186,000 miles per second, and in the Kingdom of Allah there may be many things which move even faster than light we are still unaware of. However, if the speed of the passing time be regarded the same as of the movement of the second-hand, and we consider that whatever act, good or bad, we perform and whatever occupation we pursue, takes place in the limited span of Time that we have been given in the world, we then feel that our real wealth is time itself, which is passing so quickly. Imam Razi has cited a scholar as saying: “I understood the meaning of Surah Al- Asr from an ice-seller, who was calling aloud for the attention of the people repeatedly in the bazar: Have mercy on the one whose wealth is melting away!” The amount of time each soul has been allotted is passing quickly like the melting away of ice. If it is wasted, or spent in wrong pursuits, it will be sheer loss to man. Thus, swearing an oath by the Time what has been said in this Surah, means that the fast passing Time is witness that devoid of these four qualities in whatever occupation and work man is spending his limited span of life, he is engaged in bad bargains. Only such people are engaged in good bargains, who work in the world, characterized by the four qualities.
Though the word man has been used in the singular, in the following sentences those people have been made an exception from it, who are characterized by the four qualities. Therefore, one will have to admit that here the word man has been used as a collective noun, denoting a class, and it applies equally to individuals, groups, nations, and entire mankind. Thus, the general statement that whoever is devoid of the above four qualities is in loss, would be proved in any case whether it is a person who is devoid of these, or a nation, or all men of the world. It will be just like giving the verdict that poison is fatal for man; it will mean that poison is fatal in any case whether it is taken by an individual, or a nation, or all the people of the world. Poison’s being fatal is an unchangeable truth; it does not make any difference whether one man has taken it, or a nation has decided to take it, or all the people of the world collectively have agreed to take poison. Precisely in the same way this truth by itself is unchangeable that man’s being devoid of the above four qualities brings him loss. The general rule is not at all affected even if one man is devoid of these, or a nation, or all the people of the world agree that they would exhort one another to disbelief, immorality, falsehood and servitude to the self.
