“Allah is The Best Of Planners” and through that revelation, He shows us that the bridge between “Universal Potential” and “Creating Things” is “A Plan”.

Al Islam in America began with the first occurrence of a Muslim on the continent of America, recently an author of a well documented discourse on what he says pre-Columbus voyage, visit by Arabs to this part of the world , new world, that is, how sound or how valid his claim is has to be tested still further, but it is very impressive and to me it was a well documented claim that this author made.
"Man because of his emotional makeup, emotional sensitivity, that’s the beginning of life the intellect comes like a seed, it needs the right circumstances for its growth into its life-form, the seed, the same for man’s mind. Our minds need the right situation for it to have the nourishing womb of life so that the mind can grow and develop."
“Allah is The Best Of Planners” and through that revelation, He shows us that the bridge between “Universal Potential” and “Creating Things” is “A Plan”.
We live in one universal creation. We, as human beings, have one universal nature. Therefore, all human beings have shared universal experiences. Human nature responds similarly under similar circumstances. The nature of human existence is such that, through experience, human beings learn what brings them benefit or harm.Out of love, for the benefit of their posterity, human beings record the wisdom and guidance that they get from their own experience in myths, fables and stories.Out of love for the human being, Allah does this, for all humanity, with the Qur’an (and the life model of the Prophet).So, we should become familiar with all the stories of the Quran, they are a gift to humanity from the Creator of all to help us live our best life.
With G‑d’s name we begin, the praise and the thanks is for G‑d, we thank Him for the gift and blessing of the model human person Muhammad (pbuh), the honorable and noble servant and Messenger of G‑d and what follows of the salute or that traditional salutation to the last Prophet (pbuh), the seal of the Prophets mentioned in the Bible as it is given in the Quran.
Allah keeps firm those who believe, with the firm word, in worldly life and in the Hereafter. And Allah sends astray the wrongdoers. And Allah does what He wills.
Al-Islam contributes to the lives of people worldwide by promoting values of peace, charity, and community support, which encourage believers and non-believers alike to live harmoniously and support one another. Additionally, Islam’s emphasis on knowledge and learning has historically fostered advancements in science, medicine, and philosophy, enriching global culture and intellectual progress.
"….so when you design a life for yourself with an object in mind, and you marshall everything to complement that, and to support that, man, you are on your own time then: You are not in the past, you are not in the present, you have even gotten beyond the future. Oh, yes. But actually, when you perceive that way, you are really in the future. But you have stepped ahead of the ordinary concept of future time. You have stepped into controlled time." Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra) Elijahville
"I know minister Farrakhan very well we were close friends in the Nation of Islam and that friendship is still there we respect and love each other but we differ, we do have serious differences, how we are to promote progress in the African American community. But I must say as a leader of the Nation of Islam minister Farrakhan in my opinion has made great progress for the Nation of Islam. I don’t mean what he does to help young men to get their life in order to become productive I’m talking also about the image of the Nation of Islam he has really softened the image or position of the Nation of Islam regarding race consciousness and also the attitude towards government. But the paper to me is still anti-government and that is what I’m not comfortable with. If you criticize, I feel as a citizen of these United States, if we want our citizenship if we criticize our government we should criticize it in the interest of seeing it become better not to put it down, that is what I don’t like. But I think Farrakhan has good intentions and I know many of his people have come a long way and made a lot of progress as Muslims." 2/13/2004
“I want to begin by saying that I am a product of, well maybe an experiment but for sure a strategy. We believed in a myth that was for us reality, a myth of the origin of man, the origin of the world, I doubt if this myth will ever be that well known as the many myths that I’ve read of in my studies and in my effort to try to understand the reason for this experience, experiment that I am a product of.” University of North Carolina at Wilmington 2/10/2000
Abdullah ibn Amir (Radhiallahu Anhu) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) happened to pass by two groups (of Muslims) in the mosque and he said: “Both of them are good, but one is superior to the other. One group is supplicating Allah and praying Him. If He so wills He will confer upon them and if He so wills He will withhold. So far as those who are acquiring the understanding of religion and its knowledge and are busy in teaching the ignorant, they are superior. Verily, I have been sent as a teacher.” He then sat down amongst them. (Tirmidhi, 257 and Darimi)
"Well let us follow the Islamic prescription for healing the community so that it can have unity, strong unity, so that it can have real unity. And I say to you the first thing we should look at is: Do We Believe? Do we believe in G'd as Muslims are to believe in G'd? And G'd says, Believe in Him Unseen, "bil ghaib". Believe in Him with no proof for your eyes, for your five senses. With no concrete proof believe in Him. Believe in Him bil ghaib: It means that you don't have any proof from the things that you eye can understand. Or your ears can understand, or your tongue, your hands, your nose, your fingers, your touch." Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra)

3: 79. It is not (possible) that a man to whom is given the Book and Wisdom and the prophetic office should say to people: "Be ye my worshippers rather than Allah's; on the contrary (he would say): [Rabbaniyina]: "Be of those who are possessed of Command, Authority and Mastery by what you are teaching from the Book and by what you are studying."
"And we know Bilal the companion of the Prophet (pbuh) from the black people or African people, Habashi was himself a slave when he first heard the call to Al Islam he was a slave. And he accepted the call to Al Islam while he was yet a slave and his master punished him severely for embracing Al Islam for accepting the one G-d and Muhammad (pbuh) as the Messenger of G-d. His master punished him severely, put him in the hot sun, the heat of the sun placed heavy stones upon his bear chest to get him to give up the faith, to renounce the faith, worship in one G-d and Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh). But he refused to do that." Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra)

Surah Al-Ma'idah (5:116/119):And [beware the Day] when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, 'Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah?' " He will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen."

"Black" fell from its excellence-based spirituality. Our spirituality, our motivation, our aspirations were based in our God-given human excellence. We fell from that to something I am calling "blackism". Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra)
"Of course, you can reject anything or everything of what I say, like some of you do. However. I am saying that I believe it is Allah's Will, The Almighty's Will that we be saved by the Qur'an and by the lifestyle of our Prophet Muhammed who is given in our Holy Book (Qur'an) as an excellent model of behavior. I believe firmly that Al-Islam ("Islam") is in America by God's (Allah's) Will to save and establish African Americans." Imam Mohammed(ra)
"More than 90% of businesses won't make it past 5 years.""Be very guarded about who you share your goals and dreams with."
13:31 If there were a reading or recitation by which mountains were moved, or the earth divided and separated, or the dead were made to speak, (this would be the one!) But truly, the command is with Allah in all things!

"Don't you know that the Prophet, peace and blessings upon him, has said that whoever has seen him has seen God? That does not mean that he is God. No, he is not God! But you have seen the Way of God and the Purpose of God and the Aim of God for man. Why does a man want to see God? If a man wants to see God, he should want to see God in order to see what God’s purpose is for him. That is the only reason he should want to see God. Now if a fool wants to see God, there is no telling how many reasons there might be. Prophet Muhammad (saw) demonstrated to us all that that is God's Will and God's Purpose in the life of man and society." IWDM

The focus for addressing human potential and progress is our common intellect in its role for betterment of our private and public service for society. -the intellect of to have a great dignified role in the personal life and public. Home and neighborhood is where the intellect is to be established. God wants us to build the intellect if God wanted us to just build sexual drives, brute force, industrial animals He didn’t have to give us this special human intellect. -the perception of neighborhood grows to include the international world, in a perception of neighbors.-god wants us to do justice by the home and justice by the neighborhood, then progress as a civilized nation.
"Then, who gives to the needy and guards against evil and accepts the excellent (the truth of Islam and the path of righteousness it prescribes), We shall make easy for him the easy end and who is miserly and considers himself above need, We shall make easy for him the difficult end". (XCii. 5-10).

In my address to the brothers, the Muslim men I want to address your role as men in the creation of G-d. It is very important that we know what the Quran says, what Allah (swt) says to men to give us an awareness of our creation as He planned it to give us guidance for our creation.

29:48 “And you did not recite any Book before this one, you don’t write now: In that case, indeed, would the talkers of vanities have doubted.”"Trustworthiness descended in the innermost (root) of the hearts of people.

2: 148. To each is a goal to which Allah turns him; then strive together (as in a race) toward all that is good. Wheresoever ye are Allah will bring you together. For Allah hath power over all things."Every deed of the son of Adam is for him except fasting; it is for Me and I shall reward for it."
"We had a spirit to build and structure the African-American or the Black person. We had the spirit to do that. Our great educators, Frederick Douglass, the great orator and statesman. Booker T. Washington, George Washington Carver, W. E. B. DuBois. The recent educator Benjamin Mays, and many, many others. Men and women who saw the need to build and structure the life and identity of their people. And they made their contribution, but their contribution has been incomplete.”

Genesis 9:24-25. “So, Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son [Ham] had done unto him. Then he said: ‘Cursed be Canaan. A servant of servants he shall be to his brethren’.”Since the 15th century, religious leaders have cited this passage as the justification for the enslavement of all African people. For almost 500 years, priests taught their flocks that a Hebrew prophet had condemned millions of Africans to slavery because they were descended from Ham’s son Canaan. The curse of Ham thus formed the core religious justification for the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
64:15 Your wealth and your children are but a trial, and Allah has with Him a great reward.
Parallel of King Solomon and the two women with one baby. Both women claimed baby was hers. King said he would cut baby in half and give half to each. One woman started crying, said give baby to other woman rather than split it. King Solomon gave crying woman the baby, knew she was the real mother.Rather than have the human being split man, God kept him a whole. World splits man up.
History testifies to the Law of Allah operating in the field of human existence. The patterns of human history reveal the operations of the Law of Allah, the Law of Nature, the Will of Allah which interpenetrates all creation. In the history of the modern world, there is no greater sign of this than the history of Bilalians. “Come and See”
3:133 "And hasten to forgiveness from your Lord and a garden as wide as the heavens and earth, prepared for the righteous"

Prophet (PBUH) said: “Whoever enters a market and says:‘Laa ilaha illallah wahdahu la shareeka lah, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu yuhyi wa yumeetu wa huwa hayyun laa yamoot, bi yadihil khair, wa huwa ‘ala kulli shayin qadeer’ Translation: (There is nothing worthy of worship except Allah, alone without partner, to Him belongs dominion and praise, He causes life and death and He is the living and does not die. In His Hand is all the good, and He is over all things competent)… Allah will write for him or her a million good deeds and erase a million bad deeds and raise him a million levels.” (Tirmidhi)
So do you believe that G-d act in mysterious ways that’s a saying among Christians I do. Now G-d called Jonah didn’t he? G-d told Jonah to go warn a wicked city Ninevah didn’t He? And Jonah didn’t do it now you may say Jonah heard the Word of G-d and disobeyed but I know better, Jonah didn’t hear G-d, G-d told Jonah and tell Ninevah but Jonah didn’t hear G-d and Jonah was on the ship out at sea and he shouldn’t have been there and not only was he where he shouldn’t be but he was fast asleep there.
2: 183. O ye who believe! fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you that ye may (learn) self-restraint.On the authority of Abu Muhammad Abdullah bin ’Amr bin al-’Aas (RadhiyAllahu ‘anhu) who said: The Messenger of Allah (SallaAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam) said,“None of you [truly] believes until his desires are subservient to that which I have brought.”
Q. 2.285; “The Apostle believeth in what hath been revealed to him from his Lord as do the men of faith. Each one (of them) believeth in Allah His angels His books and His Apostles "We make no distinction (they say) between one and another of His Apostles." And they say: "We hear and we obey; (We seek) Thy forgiveness Our Lord and to Thee is the end of all journeys."
8:24. O you who believe! give your response to Allah and His apostle when He calls you to that which will give you life; and know that Allah comes in between a man and his heart and that it is He to whom you shall (all) be gathered.

Since the potential for everything is everywhere (HQ 67:1-4), perhaps the genesis/cause of future 3-D manifestations is in the intention of the “c”reator which is one of the influencers of universal reality. Intention is a force.
Ayesha and The Prophet(pbuh) on Sha’baan:“The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) fasted so much in some months we even thought he did not break his fast in that month. In some months, he broke his fast so much that we would say he did not fast on any days in this month. I did not see the Messenger of Allah(pbuh) fast in the whole month except Ramadan and I never saw him fast in any month more than he did in Sha’baan” Ayesha(ra)

Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, you are in a time in which whoever among you leaves of tenth of what he has been commanded will be destroyed in the Hereafter. Then there will come a time in which whoever among you practices a tenth of what he has been commanded will be saved.”
The meanings of the Quranic Arabic words in the 94th Surah of the Quran reveal and outline how we should understand and respond to the nature of life circumstances. These meanings can be derived from the labor and delivery process when we focus on the purpose and the effects of the biochemicals involved in the labor and delivery process. Biiznillah (with Allah’s permission)The 94th chapter of the Quran, known as "Ash-Sharh" or "The Relief,"; “The Expansion”; “The Opening Forth”, etc. discusses themes of easing of one's burden, the expansion of the heart, and the pairing of hardship with relief.
WarNo war is justified unless its purpose is to defend the peace; no war is justified by Muslims upon material needs.The most important jihad is the intellectual jihad; the Prophet (pbuh)said, "The pen is mightier than the sword". He put emphasis on the intellectual jihad.
"Achievement is not for the select few. Achievement is simply for those who never quit. It is for those who set goals. It is for those who put the most steps in front of the others.

The woman is an embodiment of the universe in her form and nature. She is a sign of how we should live life as men, as women and as a society.
As Muslims we are to see sex in its social role. All intelligent societies wish that their citizens would first see and respect sex in the social role.If we keep it in its social role we won’t become the subjects of wild sex appetites; if we lose that appreciation for the function of sex in its social role then we can destroy the whole society.G'd created us and sex for the purpose of having human beings regenerated, surviving for the purpose of having family formed and social life established.It is the first binding material of male and female. It's not the act itself that makes for the beautiful relationship but it is what that relationship sends to our minds, and hearts as a message.
We will trust our future with individuals who will go home and live their religion. Who will go back to their private lives and live their religion. Who will read their Holy Book for themselves after they have been guided to where it is. They will read their Holy Book for themselves, they will be inspired in their private quarters, and if G-d has given them possibilities they will be a factor for bringing about the healthy well‑meaning people in this society. And it is a philosophy that works. If anyone would make a true and careful study of the growth of moral life, the growth of intellect, the growth of business in the following of Muslims since I've been the leader, they will see that there is a tremendous jump in progress!"

Quran 5.l00; Say: "Not equal are things that are bad and things that are good even though the abundance of the bad may dazzle thee; so fear Allah O ye that understand! that (so) ye may prosper."Our Lord, G-d Most High, Allah swt, Who has many, many names, and all of His names are Perfect and Most Excellent. He says to us in the Holy Book, the Quran, "The corrupted and the good things, or the corrupted and the good do not compare.” There is no equality between the corrupted and the good; though the abundance that is realized by corruption or from corruption may astonish you.

Quran 5.l00; Say: "Not equal are things that are bad and things that are good even though the abundance of the bad may dazzle thee; so fear Allah O ye that understand! that (so) ye may prosper."Our Lord, G-d Most High, Allah swt, Who has many, many names, and all of His names are Perfect and Most Excellent. He says to us in the Holy Book, the Quran, "The corrupted and the good things, or the corrupted and the good do not compare.” There is no equality between the corrupted and the good; though the abundance that is realized by corruption or from corruption may astonish you.
From the story that precedes this portion in Qur'an you will note that Moses (pbuh) was first Innocent. The first step is to be innocent (First Step - Sincere to Allah and Al-Islam)28; 22. Then when he turned his face towards (the land of) Madyan he said: "I do hope that my Lord will show me the smooth and straight Path." = (Second Step -Seek G-d's Guidance first) 23. And when he arrived at the watering (place) in Madyan he found there a group of men watering (their flocks) and besides them he found two women who were keeping back (their flocks). He said: "What is the matter with you?" They said: "We cannot water (our flocks) until the shepherds take back (their flocks): and our father is a very old man." = (Third Step -Help some one without what you have) 24. So he watered (their flocks) for them; then he turned back to the shade and said: "O my Lord! truly am I in (desperate) need of any good that thou dost send me!"... = (Fourth Step: After Helping some needy person make your du'a to Allah for your needs, repeatedly)
Qanata vs. QanaTaAllah is revealing that there is something about the nature of life as a woman that calls for more Qanata as her primary attribute in order for her to fulfill her life’s purpose in creation and to receive the promise of Allah.
"My mind is of a new time. My mind is the mind that is more than fourteen hundred years advanced. G_d, through His natural workings, has brought the mind of the world to the position where the mind is ready, now, to not only be doer, acting to form the object. But, the mind is ready to come into the form and be the object. But he did have the knowledge and he knew that in those signs was knowledge for eternity. And he knew that in time, those signs were going to be understood and that no matter that how long man existed on earth, he knew that he had pointed the way for their salvation, for their advancement and for their progress." Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra)
In Allah’s Divine System for Human Development the relationship between man and woman is like lock and key. In each one of us is an (IRM) “internal release mechanism” which governs the giving and withholding of our “G-d given” excellences to each other.The nature of the system is such that, in order for a Man to get the “G-d given” (Fitri/Divine) excellence from a Woman he has to be the Man that Allah created him, by nature, to be. And in order for a Woman to get the “G-d given” (Fitri/Divine) excellence from a Man she has to be the Woman that Allah created her, by nature, to be.There is an angel in him for her and there is an angel in her for him. But neither the Angel in her nor the Angel in him is going to render service [i.e., release the “excellence of Allah’s Will in them”] to the other until either acts in accordance with the nature that Allah has created in them.
Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever Allah provides with a righteous wife, Allah has assisted him in half of his religion. Let him fear Allah regarding the second half.”Source: al-Mu’jam al-Awsaṭ 992 Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Suyuti

"It also says to the people through revelation regarding Prophet Muhammad that, "I have lived a lifetime among you." It means that before the revelation came, he had lived a lifetime of human moral excellence among the people. Revelation had not come to him. So was he a Muslim before revelation or not? He was a Muslim in the excellence of nature before revelation, and he was a Muslim after revelation in the proper sense as we understand it now. Then he became the leader of proper Muslims throughout the world. They became his followers, and he is the leader of all of them. But understand that he was a Muslim before then."

"You need to choose leaders, Imams who love obedience to G-d and who love respect for G-d and love respect for the G-d given dignity or the G-d given honor that every human person should be respected for having whether that human person respects that honor that G-d has given them or not. We should not be the one who disrespect the honor that G-d has created for them. We should call them back to the honor if they are ignorant of it, call them back to the honor that G-d created them for but do not let us disrespect that honor, respect everybody. And that is not the first time you heard that my father told you to do that."

"The angels are things that we conceive as having no physical forms (invisible entities). We find that in creation there are many invisible things that have reality and that act on us from without and from within. There are the forces of gravity, the forces of electricity, the forces of light, and the hidden, invisible forces of noise. Not only are we affected by the noise itself, but there is also a force behind noise or in noise that affects the human being's nature. The noise hits the physical ear drums, but there is an entity of the noise that affects your very nature." Imam W, D. Mohammed(ra)

2: 216. Fighting is prescribed for you, and you dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you and that you love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knows and you know not. 217. They ask you concerning fighting in the Prohibited Month. Say: "Fighting therein is a grave (offence); but graver is it in the sight of Allah to prevent access to the path of Allah to deny Him to prevent access to the Sacred Mosque and drive out its members. Tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter. Nor will they cease fighting you until they turn you back from your faith if they can. And if any of you turn back from their faith and die in unbelief their works will bear no fruit in this life and in the Hereafter; they will be Companions of the Fire and will abide therein.

We believe that we can have a good life in America. We believe that we can have growth for Islamic life and Muslim communities in America and we are realizing that even now! Because times have changed in America and we believe that the future promises even more justice, more opportunity, less racial prejudice, and religious bigotry, etc., and that we will have an even better life here in America...We don't want to see freedom lost and we don't want to see Christian values lost. You're the majority in this country. Our Prophet (Muhammed) told us to defend the holy places of other people and he mandated that Jews and others would have the right to practice their religion under Islamic government just as they did before Islamic government was established in Madinah. When we know these facts of Islam then we have to be the same in this day and time...Islam and the classification of the communities of man is the way that I think I can express Islam's concept of race and racial pride, or the dignity of the races. Actually, in Islam there is no such thing as race.
Everyone Begins the Day as a Vendor of the SoulOn the authority of Abu Malik al-Harith bin Asim al-Asharee (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:…. Every person starts his day as a vendor of his soul, either freeing it or causing its ruin.” [Muslim]كُلُّ النَّاسِ يَغْدُو، فَبَائِعٌ نَفْسَهُ فَمُعْتِقُهَا أَوْ مُوبِقُهَا". [رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ]
2: 271. If you disclose (acts of) charity then it is a blessing, but if you keep them secret and make them reach those (who are really) in need that is best for you: it will remove from you some of your (stains of) evil. And Allah is well acquainted with what ye do.

7: 32. Say: Who hath forbidden the beautiful (gifts) of Allah which He hath produced for his servants and the things clean and pure (which He hath provided) for sustenance? Say: they are in the life of this world for those who believe (and) purely for them on the Day of Judgment. Thus do We explain the signs in detail for those who understand.4: 114. In most of their secret talks there is no good: but if one exhorts to a deed of charity or justice or conciliation between men (secrecy is permissible): to him who does this seeking the good pleasure of Allah We shall soon give a reward of the highest (value).
Hadith on Leaving your children and family well-offSa`d ibn Abi Waqqas said, “The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, visited me in the year of the Hajj of Farewell on account of a serious illness I had. I said, ‘Messenger of Allah, this illness has affected me as you see and I have property but no heirs other than my daughter. Shall I give two-thirds of my property away as sadaqa?’ He replied, ‘No.’ I asked, ‘A half?’ He replied, ‘No.’ He said, ‘A third, and a third is great (or a lot). It is better to leave rich heirs than to leave them poor, begging from other people. There is nothing you spend, desiring by it the face of Allah, but that you will be rewarded, even for a morsel you put in your wife’s mouth.’
28:16. He prayed: "O my Lord! I have indeed wronged my soul! Do Thou then forgive me!" So (Allah) forgave him: for He is the Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful. "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from anxiety and grief, and I seek refuge in You from helplessness and laziness, and I seek refuge in You from cowardice and miserliness, and I seek refuge in You from being overpowered by debt and the oppression of men."

So dear Believers let us understand that. Because we are calling right-minded people to come together to form a nucleus for preserving the good life of the society. We need that. Everybody can't be equally strong, everybody can't be equally responsible. A lot of people must have help. So it is the duty then of an intelligent society to preserve for that society an intelligent nucleus of people. An intelligent core of people to at least keep the right example before the people so that they will be stimulated by the very presence of that core people, or nucleus of people to stay in touch with their own good senses, and live responsible lives.

"Al Islam, for want of a better word, is a democracy. The expression in Al Islam is "Shuraa baynahum, that is they consult one another, they have mutual consultation, respecting each other as equals. Equally qualified to give advice, to contribute to decision-making. "Baynahum" means just that, mutual. I offer my advice and also another person has the same right, and he offers his advice and then we look at all of it and make a conclusion based upon the strongest support that we have from those qualified persons. This is the main description I would say of democracy in Al Islam, this is the main focus for our understanding and perception of how we should manage our affairs and G-d says the believers manage their affairs by "Shuraa Baynahum. " Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra)

“The Deal with the Devil!” is when a person has surrendered to Shaitan and has accepted not to fight against what is deemed as “evil, amoral and immoral” by natural human conscience. The “Deal with the Devil” is embracing the rejection of natural human conscience. Those who've "made the deal" no longer “judge their behavior” in the light of its socially destructive consequences.

Imam Muhammad: Yes, those Imams that can serve as guides for the Hajjis from our community, they should be identified and they should be the ones to organize the Hajjis from our community and to work with the travel agents in making arrangements overseas. And you are right. If we have Imams with knowledge of the Hajj procedure, and who can lead them in their tawaf, and to the different ritual locations, and can lead them as a guide for the Hajjis, then why would we have to get Saudis envolved for? The rest of the Muslims don't do that. They arrange for the Hajj and they go there just like anybody else, and nobody comes from the government to meet them or anything. And they go right to their location and they do it. That's the way it should be done.
“You might say, "Oh only G_d only creates." No, Allah swt says He is the best of creators. He recognizes that there are other creators, so He says He is the best of creators. He made us to be creators, too.” Ramadan Session 2005
And G-d says, He recognizes us as creators, He says, “G-d is the best of creators”. That means there are other creators. So, G-d wants us to be producers, to be creators and He want us to work for excellence to arrive more and more in the field of excellence.

Ayn Rand’s “Objectivism” is a model of the “Rational lies” which support a deal with the devil. It gives its subscribers a line of reasoning to justify their urges and impulses and their intention not to follow natural morality and conscience. It serves that impulse in the same way that puritanism and the Protestant ethic enabled those who wanted to be able to practice “Usury“ whereas the church was denying business people that freedom.

"You know Dr. Martin Luther King was for us the culmination or the termination of that spirit in us. The terminal point for that spirit in us as a people, because after him we have not had anybody like that; nobody to rise and be recognized like that. Our people changed their ways and changed their thinking and they changed their spirit, most importantly. The spirit in our people changed, no more the productive spirit but the fun spirit. We lost the productive spirit to the fun spirit. As I say we forgot the best of our leadership that supported us to freedom and acceptance in America as citizens equal with other citizens under American, U.S. law. Not that the white people's hearts everywhere accepted that. No, that was a bitter pill for them to swallow. But many of them were never opposed to that and many of them lost their life trying to help us get that recognition in America. We should understand that, too, and acknowledge help that we got from the people who were really responsible for denying us our life and freedom that Allah intended for us."

"It is very important for us to understand something that I have come to realize and perhaps many of you had come to realize it before me. And that is the recognition of two states of Muslim.

That is the "proper" state of the Muslim." IWDM

"This day is especially a day where the prayer is preceded by a lecture or khutbah as we call it, a speech. It is a speech containing intelligent instructions from the Quran, it is done in a very dignified, scholarly way. So it is a lecture, more so, than a sermon. That is if we keep the form of that particular service. It is more a lecture than a sermon. Although, we know a sermon can be a lecture too. Many people give sermons that are very excellent lectures. But when most of us hear the word sermon we think of preaching and playing on the buttons of the emotionalism.
The religion of Al-Islam really forbids us from doing that. We are not allowed to play on the buttons of the emotionalism more than we play on the notes of intelligence. We are to appeal to people’s intelligence, appeal to their rational good senses. And we are not forbidden to include emotional expressions or to appeal to the emotions of the people, but if our lecture, our talk carries more emotionalism than appealing to their good senses that it is unIslamic."

They just let go of everything and fell down.

2: 264. O ye who believe! cancel not your charity by reminders of your generosity or by injury like those who spend their wealth to be seen of men but believe neither in Allah nor in the last day. They are in Parable like a hard barren rock on which is a little soil; on it falls heavy rain which leaves it (just) a bare stone. They will be able to do nothing with aught they have earned. And Allah guideth not those who reject faith.
265. And the likeness of those who spend their wealth seeking to please Allah and to strengthen their souls is as a garden high and fertile: heavy rain falls on it but makes it yield a double increase of harvest and if it receives not heavy rain light moisture sufficeth it. Allah seeth well whatever ye do.

The master idea for Wealth Creation is to “Believe and Do” (Faith and Deeds). It has two elements. (1) The works of the “abstract body” working in “The Field” through the mental aspects of creativity (i.e., belief, knowledge, intention, attention, visualization, mental rehearsal, conviction). (2) The works of the “concrete body” acting in the world. Carrying out the physical aspects of creativity (i.e., sustained behavior in line with the Will, the Intention and the Plan)

Hadith on Wealth: True richness is contentment in the heartAbu Dharr reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “O Abu Dharr, do you say an abundance of possessions is wealth?” I said yes. The Prophet said, “Do you say a lack of possessions is poverty?” I said yes. The Prophet repeated this three times, then he said, “Wealth is in the heart and poverty is in the heart. Whoever is wealthy in his heart will not be harmed no matter what happens in the world. Whoever is impoverished in his heart will not be satisfied no matter how much he has in the world. Verily, he will only be harmed by the greed of his own soul.”

Look up the name Belial in the dictionary it means a worthless thing; now let 's look again; doesn't the societies leadership in their attitude towards the common people say to us we are worthless things?
Why do they regard us as worthless things? Because we don't have science. Or if we have it we have it just as a habit or a training we don't know how to master or trace the origins of the knowledge that we use, we don't have any systemological conception of the knowledge that we use, in other words we don’t have the root of the knowledge we use and since we don’t know the root the knowledge that we use, those who know the root they laugh at our ignorance and they say "Trust them with the affairs of the world? has ha ha.

So “Believe and Do” (Faith and Deeds) is the master idea. The mental aspects of creativity (i.e., belief, knowledge, intention, attention, visualization, mental rehearsal, conviction) are the works of the “abstract body” acting in “The Field”. The physical aspects of creativity (i.e., sustained behavior in line with the Will, the Intention and the Plan) are the works in the world of the “concrete body”.
We are created from a Universal Soul that is reflected in Matter (4:1; Abstract Body & Concrete Body); All of us are the products of how our Soul has related to our Body and vice versa. Thus, all men and women [past, present and future] come from that relationship.
You (i.e., Your reality as an “in-divi-dual”; Abstract and Concrete) are a pattern in Creation (30:30) and your growth is the growth of that pattern (91:7-10)

Abdullah binUtbah bin Masud reported: I heardUmar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him) reported saying: "In the lifetime of Messenger of Allah (PBUH) some people were called to account through Revelation. Now Revelation has discontinued and we shall judge you by your actions. Whoever displays to us good, we shall grant him peace and security, and treat him as a near one. We have nothing to do with his intention. Allah will call him to account for that. But whosoever shows evil to us, we shall not grant him security nor shall we believe him, even if he professed that his intention is good.'' [Al-Bukhari].

When (Allah provides you with a righteous mate) he has helped you with Half of what you need to get to Paradise and protected you from Half of what will take you to hell.

Abu Huraira reported the Prophet (pbuh) said “Allah (swt) created the intelligence, He told it to stand up and it did so, then told it to turn its back and it did so, the told it to turn its face and it did so, the told it to sit and it did so. He then said “I have created nothing better or more excellent or finer than you.

Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said when the month of Ramadan began, “Verily, this month has presented itself to you.

Hadith on Wealth: True richness is contentment in the heart
Abu Dharr reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “O Abu Dharr, do you say an abundance of possessions is wealth?” I said yes. The Prophet said, “Do you say a lack of possessions is poverty?” I said yes. The Prophet repeated this three times, then he said, “Wealth is in the heart and poverty is in the heart. Whoever is wealthy in his heart will not be harmed no matter what happens in the world. Whoever is impoverished in his heart will not be satisfied no matter how much he has in the world. Verily, he will only be harmed by the greed of his own soul.”

STAND UP FOR TRUTH
- And cover not Truth
With falsehood, nor conceal
The Truth when ye know
(what it is).
- And be steadfast in prayer;
Practice regular charity;
And bow down your heads
With those who bow down
(in worship).
- Do you enjoin right conduct
On the people, and forget
(To practice it) yourselves.
And yet ye study the Scripture?
Will ye not understand?
- Nay seek (God's) help
With patient perseverance
And prayer:
It is indeed hard, except
To those who bring a lowly
spirit –
- Who bear in mind the certainty
That they are to meet their Lord
and that they are to return to Him

O mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from one soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many men and women. And fear Allah , through whom you ask one another, and the wombs. Indeed, Allah is ever, over you, an Observer.
Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, you are in a time in which whoever among you leaves of one tenth of what he has been commanded will be destroyed in the Hereafter. Then there will come a time in which whoever among you practices one tenth of what he has been commanded will be saved.”

"As Frederick Douglass said, "They claimed Christ Jesus, peace be on G-d's servant and Frederick Douglas said, "But your behavior and you claim Democracy to be the best democracy," he says, "But your behavior is such that it would shame a nation of savages."

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Charity does not decrease wealth.”
Asmah related that the Prophet said: "Spend, and do not count, lest Allah counts against you. Do not withhold your money, lest Allah withholds from you. Spend what you can."
Abu Huraira related that the Prophet said: "The Lord's commandment for every one of His slaves is, ‘Spend on others, and I will spend on you'."

17: 30 Verily thy Lord doth provide sustenance in abundance for whom He pleases, and He provides in a just measure. For He doth know and regard all His servants.
34: 36 Say: "Verily my Lord enlarges and restricts the Provision to whom He pleases, but most men understand not."
29: 62 Allah enlarges the sustenance (which He gives) to whichever of His servants He pleases; and He (similarly) grants by (strict) measure, (as He pleases): for Allah has full knowledge of all things.

So if you know Allah, then you know something about what He is responsible for. You will have a better understanding of the things that you have to deal with everyday, each other and your worldly obligations. All of this becomes clearer to you and less a burden on you when you understand that Allah is the One behind it all. He started it all and He can close it all, whether we
know it or not. Even things that are completely out of our control are not out of Allah's control. This is the greatest of knowledge, the understanding of Allah, that He is bigger and more important, more significant than anything else. Allah is the Greatest.
When the human being interacts faithfully and scientifically with the potentials and possibilities in his environment with Conviction (Yaqin), he - “creates” - out of that field with which he interacts. He translates the Uncreated Potential of that field into a “Created Reality” in the "here and now" in accordance with the Will and Permission of Allah.
Why do we need a Righteous Social Community (Ummah)?
"(Because) What actually thinks within a person is not the individual himself but his social community. The source of his thinking is not within himself but is to be found in his social environment and in the very social atmosphere he ‘breathes.’ His mind is structured, and necessarily so, under the influence of this ever-present social environment, and he cannot think in any other way." "Genesis and Development of a Scientific Fact”

But understand that’s not the full expression, correctly it is Al Islam and in Arabic its used as we use the article “The” In English grammar it makes it definite, it distinguishes from the other term Islam. In the Qur’an G-d also mentions our individual Islam and it has no Al on it Islam, that is for your individual Islam. You will never find the whole Islam in any single person unless it was Muhammad the Prophet pbuh or some of the perfect obedient servants of G-d. You will never find the whole Islam with us. We submit to G-d we surrender our life to G-d for His purposes or for His purpose and that’s our individual Islam.
“So, when you give the natural life “artificiality” imposed upon that natural life; a life that is really strange to the natural life; a life that is not real when you look at what is natural life, what happens? The behavior register in that life is confused. You confuse the behavior register and it becomes so confused that it sends you into extremes to get rid of the problem. The nature to register what is going on and to know what the external influence is asking of the natural system inside you becomes confused and it sends your spirit and your behavior to extremes." Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra)

And in the second level or plane is Christ Jesus and John representing the spirit in that matter, one representing the matter that holds the whole thing because after all, all of these seven evolved out of Adam, the potential was in the man that G’d made the material that He made. So the second level represents the spirit in the matter and the spirit expresses itself in mainly two descriptions one is positive the other is negative Jesus positive John negative peace be upon the Prophets, Jesus came to affirm John came to denounce but both are the same spirit. In man’s spiritual body is the need to affirm need to reject or denounce that’s why they are on the same plane not because they’re equal in their contribution but because they’re equal in their nature, they’re the same nature.
“I believe Al Islam should be applied as science is applied. I believe Al Islam should be applied as knowledge is applied.
Al-Islam is most of all knowledge.
“Ilm” is the Arabic term or Quranic term. Al-Islam is most of all knowledge. We know the condition for getting that knowledge is a sound heart or innocent heart, a sincere heart, a true heart, a faithful heart, that’s the condition for receiving that blessing from Allah but the great instrument of progress is knowledge.”

Those who have scientific knowledge of a matter but who don’t believe that Allah (G’d) is involved with what they hope to create are like an Abraham, in their search for G’d and Truth, that stopped at the Sun or like Sabah who had a magnificent throne but didn’t have the transcendent knowledge that Allah had given to Solomon(pbuh).

Millennials are banking on the Great Wealth Transfer. The Silent Generation and the Baby Boomers, upon their death, will transfer an estimated $30 to $68 trillion to adult children. The story goes that the transfer will transform young consumers into alpha buyers of real estate, other big-ticket items, and convert them into great next-gen clients of financial advisors, banks, and more.
Maybe. Millennials and businesses alike may not want to cash that check just yet – the money might just pass them by.

Hadith on The Son of Adam and Valleys of Gold
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d:
I heard Ibn Az-Zubair who was on the pulpit at Mecca, delivering a sermon, saying, "O men! The Prophet used to say, "If the son of Adam were given a valley full of gold, he would love to have a second one; and if he were given the second one, he would love to have a third, for nothing fills the belly of Adam's son except dust. And Allah forgives he who repents to Him." Ubai said, "We considered this as a saying from the Qur'an till the Sura (beginning with) 'The mutual rivalry for piling up of worldly things diverts you..' (102.1) was revealed."

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Teach your children to pray when they are seven years old and DRIBAHUM if they do not do so when they are ten years old, and separate them in their beds at that time.” Narrated by Ahmad, 6689; Abu Dawood, 495; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani.
The C.R.A.I.D. Committee represents an effort to clear the worship of Allah. I hope that all of us appreciate the great, great role of this committee. Worship decides the form of our thoughts, it decides the nature of our deeds. Show me a person, let me
observe him for a few minutes and I can tell you whether that person's worship is correct or not. They don't have to tell me anything. Their personality, their mannerism, their expression, their moods, their attitudes,
their disposition, the things radiating from within them will tell me whether they have the right worship or not.
There are many, many, materially successful non-Muslims. However, their best values are only a subset of our Deen. Which is a complete set of divine values tied to the natural laws of creation. What we, Muslim Believers should take note of is that even their phenomenal success is upon only a subset [not even a whole life built out] of our values.

"He also told people that "I won't tell you who the next leader will be, because if I tell you you will plan on how to prevent him from becoming the leader." He also said that. But many of his followers who were in Chicago at a chruch where he spoke, I was there myself, he pointed to me, he said, "I'm like David, David didn't build the house." He said, "My son is like Solomon, he will build the house." I am talking about thirty years ago, approximately thirty years ago, in Chicago. Many heard that. They wonder how come the pioneers are still with me. They are still with me because my father told them that I am the one. When I became a grown man and Allah blessed me with my own insight, although I hadn't come into the full knowledge that I have now, but I had a great insight even then, and I began to differ with my father."

From the Abstract:
Culture matters for regional economic development and is one source of cognitive lock-in that influences path creation and dependency.
From the Research Paper:
Communities, regions and nations differ in their culture. Such culture is often defined as the collective programming of the mind, distinguishing one group from another, and refers to beliefs and values that are transmitted within groups over generations.
Tafheemul Qur’an Footnote—
Peaceful and fully satisfied soul: The man who believed in Allah, the One, as his Lord and Sustainer, and adopted the way of life brought by the Prophets as his way of life, with full satisfaction of the heart, and without the least doubt about it, who acknowledged as absolute truth whatever creed and command he received from Allah and His Messenger, who withheld himself from whatever he was forbidden by Allah’s religion, not unwillingly but with perfect conviction that it was really an evil thing, who offered without sacrifice whatever sacrifice was required to be offered for the sake of the truth, who endured with full peace of mind whatever difficulties, troubles and hardships he met on this way and who felt no remorse on being deprived of the gains and benefits and pleasures in the world which seemed to accrue to those who followed other ways but remained fully satisfied that adherence to true faith had safeguarded him against those errors.
Hadith on “There is a piece of flesh”…
“I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: ‘That which is lawful is plain and that which is unlawful is plain, and between them are matters that are not clear, about which not many people know. Thus he who guards against the unclear matters, he clears himself with regard to his religion and his honor. But he who falls into the unclear matters, he falls into that which is unlawful. Like the shepherd who pastures around a sanctuary, all but grazing therein. Every king has a sanctuary. And beware! Allah’s sanctuary is His prohibitions. Beware! In the body there is a piece of flesh which, if it is sound, the whole body will be sound, and if it is corrupt, the whole body will be corrupt. It is the heart.’”
"He also told people that "I won't tell you who the next leader will be, because if I tell you you will plan on how to prevent him from becoming the leader." He also said that.

"We think that this democracy, this belief in freedom and free enterprise offers Muslims and everybody that comes here to establish their life-or that are here and want to establish their lives-an opportunity to do so. We believe that we can have a good life in America. We believe that we can have growth for Islamic life and Muslim communities in America and we are realizing that even now! Because times have changed in America and we believe that the future promises even more justice, more opportunity, less racial prejudice, and religious bigotry, etc., and that we will have an even better life here in America...We don't want to see freedom lost and we don't want to see Christian values lost. You're the majority in this country. Our Prophet (Muhammed) told us to defend the holy places of other people and he mandated that Jews and others would have the right to practice their religion under Islamic government just as they did before Islamic government was established in Madinah. When we know these facts of Islam then we have to be the same in this day and time.

“None of you [truly] believes until his impulses follow what I have brought.”
“Now, Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) said, "None of you can believe until your inclination follows what I come to you with..." So, what is the connection? Your inclination, your inclinations are your spirits. Not one spirit, your spirits! Today I have a spirit to eat, tonight I'll have a spirit to sleep, in the morning I'll have a spirit to go somewhere. We've got a lot of spirits, don't we? We have got to train all of those spirits into obedience to the Will of God, When all those spirits conform in obedience to the Will of God. When all those spirits conform in obedience to the Will of God, then we are dominated by what - something from the "Ruuh" of God, from the Spirit of God. There are many ways to approach this, but this is one way. And I hope it's clear.” Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra)
36: 78. And he makes comparisons for us and forgets his own (Origin and) Creation:
On the authority of Abu Muhammad Abdullah bin ’Amr bin al-’Aas (RadhiyAllahu ‘anhu) who said: The Messenger of Allah (SallaAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam) said,
“None of you [truly] believes until his desires are subservient to that which I have brought.”

When we know these facts of Islam then we have to be the same in this day and time...Islam and the classification of the communities of man is the way that I think I can express Islam's concept of race and racial pride, or the dignity of the races. Actually, in Islam there is no such thing as race." Imam W. D. Mohammed
“As long as we sense the loss as a burden it will be a problem for us. But if we can ever confront the loss with our rational mind and try to dispel the darkness in that situation so that we can understand it, it will not be necessary for a people to go back to what they were in order to have a sense of their identity or a sense of freedom or a sense of an originality. It is only necessary that they confront it with their rational mind and accept it, explore it, and examine it, so that you will know it and understand it, then you can either try to reconstitute that life or you can say it is not worth it. Begin where you are or the reality that you are in as the realm of your reality.”

"We have a real hope and a determination that our country's image at home and in the international circle will grow consistently more just, more honorable. The common life of the international community is pleading for emphasis on content importance over mere name importance. We are needing badly this change from promoting our names to promoting contents. Life content is intelligent behavior: individual intelligent behavior, racial group intelligent behavior. "Intelligence" cannot stay intelligent if it ignores moral obligation, and moral virtue cannot stay virtuous if it ignores rational obligation." Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra)
- O mankind! reverence your Guardian-Lord Who created you from a single person created of like nature his mate and from them twain scattered (like seeds) countless men and women; reverence Allah through Whom ye demand your mutual (rights) and (reverence) the wombs (that bore you): for Allah ever watches over you.

Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said when the month of Ramadan began, “Verily, this month has presented itself to you. There is a night within it that is better than a thousand months. Whoever is deprived of it has been deprived of all good. None is deprived of its good but that he is truly deprived.”
"And [mention] when Abraham was raising the foundations of the House and [with him] Ishmael, [saying], "Our Lord, accept [this] from us. Indeed, You are the Hearing, the Knowing."
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "My similitude in comparison with the other prophets before me, is that of a man who has built a house nicely and beautifully, except for a place of one brick in a corner. The people go about it and wonder at its beauty, but say: 'Would that this brick be put in its place!' So I am that brick, and I am the last of the Prophets."

But you have seen the Way of God and the Purpose of God and the Aim of God for man. Why does a man want to see God?

And it will be said to those who were regardful of Allah in this life, "What did your Lord send down?" They will say, "That which is most excellent." For those who are excellent in this world is excellence; and the home of the Hereafter is excellent. And how excellent is the home of those who practice regardfulness of Allah–
Gardens of perpetual residence, which they will enter, beneath which rivers flow. They will have therein whatever they wish. Thus does Allah reward those who practice regardfulness of Allah–
The ones whom the angels take in death, [being] good and pure; [the angels] will say, "Peace be upon you. Enter Paradise for the good deeds you used to do."

After God's Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings, had declared his Messengership, a Companion told him what he had done with his daughter:
O Messenger of God, I had a daughter. One day I told her mother to dress her, for I was taking her to her uncle. My poor wife knew what this meant, but could do nothing but obey and weep. She dressed the girl, who was very happy that she was going to see her uncle. I took her near a well, and told her to look down into it. While she was looking into the well, I kicked her into it. While she was rolling down, she was shouting: "Daddy, Daddy!"
As he was recounting this, the Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings, sobbed (as if he had lost one of his nearest kinsfolk) (ad-Dārimī, "Muqaddimah," 7–8).

"It is a common error to think that our Prophet Muhammed had no wealth. Our Prophet (PBUH) was no poor man. Even before he was missioned the Prophet, he was a businessman working in the employment of Lady Khadijah, the mother of the Faithful, may Allah be pleased with her. He was such great assistance to her and to her business, that she put him over her business. He was successful at what he did. We should know that our Prophet was a successful business person."

Jesus a sign of G’d Muhammad clear word of G’d
"So where was he before he received revelation, before he began to be revealed? Where was he? Understand that he was the word, too, living, demonstrating, communicating clearly, rationally, to us in the world; not by signs, like Jesus. He's not the word communicating by signs like Jesus. He's the word communicating with clear, rational language in the world. He's the second promise of Jesus. He's the second Jesus.Now, don't go and tell somebody that the Imam said Mohammed is Jesus. You'll be lying and you'll be wrong. I didn't say he was Jesus! I'm talking in the language of signs, fulfilling signs. Okay! And I distinguish between him and Jesus. I just said that Jesus was the word communicating to us by signs and Mohammed is the word communicating to us with the clear, rational language. So, the second coming of Jesus is not the return of that Jesus. That's why it says "I go away and you see me no more! The real me, this me that you identify it's never coming back again! But the same that produced me is going to happen again! And nevertheless, you shall see me. not this one, but you'll see the word in Mohammed!" yeah, I heard somebody say, "as plain as day!" that's right!" Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra)
"If Allah had stopped the creation short of man, then it wouldn't make sense. Just like if he would have stopped the creation of our bodies short of a head, and just left a neck up there, alive, but no head. That's how I would see the universe if G'd had stopped short of us. Had he left the universe just like that, it would be like a corpse with no head on it. But when man is created with free will, and rational ability to go back to his job and understand the whole scheme, then it all makes perfect sense. That is why we believe that Allah created the universe.” Imam Mohammed (ra)
12: 53. "Nor do I absolve my own self (of blame): the (human soul) is certainly prone to evil unless my Lord do bestow His Mercy: but surely certainly my Lord is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful."
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came across me and I was Junub. He took my hand and I went along with him till he sat down I slipped away, went home and took a bath. When I came back, he was still sitting there. He then said to me, "O Abu Huraira! Where have you been?' I told him about it. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Subhan Allah! O Abu Huraira! A believer never becomes impure."

How does Bitcoin measure up to these five properties:
Divisibility: you can buy, hold or sell Bitcoin at different scales
Durability: it is digital and cannot corrode over time
Recognizable: each trading party can verify its authenticity on the blockchain
Portable: Bitcoin is digital and therefore can easily move across space and borders fast and efficiently.
Scarcity: Bitcoin has a total capped supply of 21 million coins. There is no way more can be created; demand is increasing and therefore increasingly scarce.
Bitcoin ticks all five boxes as a medium of exchange (money).
In scripture, Allah reveals the truth that is behind the world we experience through our senses.

7:26 O ye Children of Adam! We have bestowed raiment upon you to cover your shame, as well as to be an adornment to you. But the raiment of righteousness,- that is the best. Such are among the Signs of Allah, that they may receive admonition!
We need to look at the term “Shame” in detail for a better expression of the meaning of the Qur’anic Arabic term here---
The word is Saw-aa tikum which is closer to “that which” inclines you to wrong-doing and disobedience.

"What we are striving for is to get rid of the physical pictures and see the true essence; striving for its transparency.

BTC is the Threat of Decentralization - Regulation of BTC by the beneficiaries of the fiat financial system is a euphemism for their need for a strategy of control over BTC in order to maintain the source of their power (Centralization; Central Banking) at the top of the Fiat pyramid.
It meets all the fundamental qualities of sound Money better than Gold or Fiat Currency (Paper Money).
"Edify means to have a picture in mind and you're building up a text or building up a speech or a presentation and you're building it up with a base and you're putting lined or material upon material. But you first got to have a base and that base has to be real." Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra)

O ye children of Adam! let not satan seduce you in the same manner as he got your parents out of the garden stripping them of their raiment to expose their shame: for he and his tribe watch you from a position where ye cannot see them: We made the evil ones friends (only) to those without faith.

MONEY IS A LANGUAGE WE ALL NEED TO LEARN - Andreas Antonopoulos | London Real
Language enables us to communicate and exchange ideas. Such that what the parties in a communication have after their communication what they didn’t have before their communication. So, Language facilitates the “exchange of ideas of value” just as “Money” facilitates the exchange of things of value (assets, utilities).

24: 55. Allah has promised to those among you who believe and work righteous deeds that He will of a surety grant them in the land inheritance (of power) as He granted it to those before them; that He will establish in authority their religion the one which He has chosen for them; and that He will change (their state) after the fear in which they (lived) to one of security and peace: `They will worship Me (alone) and not associate aught with Me.' If any do reject faith after this they are rebellious and wicked.
56. So establish regular Prayer and give regular Charity: and obey the Apostle; that ye may receive mercy.
In order for us as Muslims to become establish in America, we have to leave the definition and perception of "America" that distorted and disqualified us and come back to a definition and perception that reforms us and qualifies us for progress and authority in "America"

There are many, many, materially successful non-Muslims. However, their best values are only a subset of our Deen. Which is a complete set of divine values embedded as the laws of natural creation. What we, Muslim Believers should take note of is that even their phenomenal success is based only upon a subset of our Deen. So, how much more successful should Muslim Believers be?

What is the metaverse?
It's a combination of multiple elements of technology, including virtual reality, augmented reality and video where users "live" within a digital universe. Supporters of the metaverse envision its users working, playing and staying connected with friends through everything from concerts and conferences to virtual trips around to the world.

Abu Huraira reported:
While a person was in the wilderness he heard a voice from the cloud (commanding it thus): Irrigate the garden of so and so. (After that the clouds slinked aside and poured water on a stony ground. It filled a channel amongst the channels of that land and that person followed that water and he found a person standing in the garden busy in changing the course of water with the help of a hatchet. He said to him: Servant of Allah, what is your name? he said: So and so. And it was that very name which he had heard from the clouds. and he said to him: Servant of Allah, why do you ask me my name? He said: I heard a voice from the clouds of which is the downpour, saying: Water the garden of so and so, like your name. What do you do (for the favour) shown to you by Allah in this matter? He said: Now as you state so. I look what yield I get from it, and I give one-third as charity out of it and I and my children eat one-third of it and one-third I return to it as investment.

"So, dear beloved believers, we have to appreciate knowledge, appreciate education and try our best to translate the complicated ideas and theories into the language of the common person, so they can get the benefit.” Imam W. D. Mohammed (ra) Public Address Oakland, California, 1988
16:125 Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has strayed from His way, and He is most knowing of who is [rightly] guided.
3:104 And let there be [arising] from you an Ummah inviting to [all that is] good, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong, and those will be the successful.
Hadith on “Give Him Honey”
It is related in Bukhari and Muslim that a person came to the Messenger of Allah and told him that his brother’s bowels were loose. Thereupon Allah’s Messenger said: “Give him honey.” So, he gave him that and then came and said: “I gave him honey but it has only made him worse.” He said this three times; and then he came the fourth time, and the Messenger of Allah said: “Allah has spoken the truth and your brother’s bowels are in the wrong.” So, he made him drink (honey) and he was recovered.

2: 1. A.L.M.
2. This is the Book; in it is guidance sure without doubt to those who fear Allah.
3. Who believe in the Unseen are steadfast in prayer and spend out of what We have provided for them.
4. And who believe in the Revelation sent to thee and sent before thy time and (in their hearts) have the assurance of the Hereafter.
5. They are on (true) guidance from their Lord and it is these who will prosper.
6. As to those who reject Faith it is the same to them whether thou warn them or do not warn them; they will not believe.
7. Allah hath set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing and on their eyes is a veil; great is the penalty they (incur).
Answer these questions
Who are you?
What do you have to offer as a skill or a benefit?
To who?
Why do they need what you have to offer?
How do they change by using what you offer?

"The first, “Qul”, is in the Surah, Al Kafirun, which means, “The Rejecters of Faith”, those who reject faith. Who was the first of the kafirun to reject faith? It was Iblis. He felt self-importance, became puffed up with pride, and felt that he was too big to submit; and he needed faith to submit. He did not accept anything but logic. That is why we stone him. He accepts no faith. He accepts nothing but logic. So, since he couldn’t accept faith, he became the first rejecter of faith, the first disbeliever." Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra)
WDM P. 73 ”After Difficulty..Insights of W. Deen Mohammed On Pain And Suffering”
“G_d created us for struggle. Some of us think we’re going to have everything on a bed of roses. No, if somebody doesn’t take those roses and cut off their stems, a bed of roses can be awfully painful, because they have sharp thorns. That’s a lesson to us too. Here is a beautiful, delicate, tender rose, but look at how it had to rise above the thorns. It is not under the thorns but above the thorns. It had to grow and survive the passage of the thorns to crown itself saying, “I have become victorious. I am victorious over hard heartedness, cruelty and defiance.” You see the rose invites the lover while the thorns defy the lover saying, “Get back! Stay back!” However, the rose has ascended above that and it crowns itself saying “I’m better than you. I’m higher than you. I deserve to be above you. I am beauty and I invite the lover.” SO, LIFE IS A CHALLENGE AND WE HAVE TO FACE THE CHALLENGE.
The primary advice of Imam Mohammed(ra) given to me (Imam Faheem Shuaibe) nearly 40 years ago was this - He said, "When I speak to the public I can only give hints and suggestions in certain matters. It is your responsibility (i.e., Imams who follow and support him) to bring information to support it so that it can become edifying to the people."

Qur’an 11.7; Throne was on the water
"Allah says that His throne was first established on the water. What does that tell us? That for those who move from the principle of pure faith, pure spiritual faith, to a principle of social order and development, still your salvation is faith. It was established on the water and water is still needed on the land; for a land without water is called, in the Qur’an, a dead land. It is a dead land and we know that for a fact." Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra)
When you consider your finances, what comes to mind? What you have or don't have? Whom you owe or what to buy? Do you feel stress, or are you at peace? Dr. Stanley says that the Bible offers much wisdom for our financial decisions.
The information we trust constitutes “Our World”. We call it “what we know”. So, “what we know” forms our world. It gives us our perception of what is “real, actual and true”

Sex, Implications in Religion", religious language, or in religious terminology. We have several terms in our language and those terms in the language they carry certain message certain meanings that are associated with certain concerns, certain human concerns. When I say that "I am a man" that refers to male, man referring to male, and it carries a certain meaning. Most of us don't know the exact meaning of such terms. We only know the general meaning. We have been using these terms and they are so common that we have taken them for granted. We say, "Oh, I know what a man means, a man means male, adult." And that's enough for us, just to say that.
But if we study the word, if we trace the history of the word we'll find that "m a n" means more than that; and likewise for "w o m a n", if we trace the word we'll find that it means more than what we ordinarily think it to mean.
28; 22. Then when he turned his face towards (the land of) Madyan he said: "I do hope that my Lord will show me the smooth and straight Path."
23. And when he arrived at the watering (place) in Madyan he found there a group of men watering (their flocks) and besides them he found two women who were keeping back (their flocks). He said: "What is the matter with you?" They said: "We cannot water (our flocks) until the shepherds take back (their flocks): and our father is a very old man."
24. So he watered (their flocks) for them; then he turned back to the shade and said: "O my Lord! truly am I in (desperate) need of any good that thou dost send me!"...
25. Afterwards one of the (damsels) came (back) to him walking bashfully. She said: "My father invites thee that he may reward thee for having watered (our flocks) for us." So when he came to him and narrated the story he said: "Fear thou not: (well) hast thou escaped from unjust people."
26. Said one of the (damsels): "O my (dear) father! engage him on wages: truly the best of men for thee to employ is the (man) who is strong and trusty"...
27. He said: "I intended to wed one of these my daughters to thee on condition that thou serve me for eight years; but if thou complete ten years it will be (grace) from thee. But I intend not to place thee under a difficulty: thou wilt find me indeed if Allah wills one of the righteous."
28. He said: "Be that (the agreement) between me and thee: whichever of the two terms I fulfil let there be no ill-will to me. Be Allah a witness to what we say."
2: 29. It is He who hath created for you all things that are on earth (The Body, its Destiny and its Potential); Moreover, His design comprehended the heavens for He gave order and perfection to the seven firmaments (The Soul, its Destiny and its potential); and of all things he hath perfect knowledge.
[1] Abstraction is the ability to draw the value or utility from something “concrete” or to see the value and utility in something “concrete” and be able to apply that value or utility to other similar, but new, circumstances to solve other problems; That is to learn how to use Creation Supported Social Logic.
HQ 30:30. So set your face steadily and truly to the Deen: Allah's handiwork according to the pattern on which He has made mankind: Don’t substitute the form that Allah has fashioned you in: that is the Dee right and straight: but most among mankind understand not.
30:30. So set your face steadily and truly to the Faith: (Establish) Allah's handiwork according to the pattern on which He has made mankind: no change (let there be) in the work (wrought) by Allah: that is the way of life right and straight: but most among mankind understand not.
Society fall rise
Uncivilized behavior, and they would promote the uncivilized behavior to get the control over the people again and after the people got in so much trouble that it awakens the alarms the intelligence of the people that didn't want to go down in the hell with the society the people come up and start protesting against it and when they protest strong enough then the leaders of this know “Now, it’s time to shift it back to the pedestal of civilization.”
There are many, many, materially successful non-Muslims. However, their best values are only a subset of our Deen. Which is a complete set of divine values tied to the natural laws of creation. What we, Muslim Believers should take not of is that even their phenomenal success is upon only a subset [not even a whole life built out] of our values.
"The cosmos is in the soul and they call it the microcosm. That is the macrocosm out there, but you have to see all that in here. Then it has reality for you." Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra)

2: 142. The fools among the people will say: "What hath turned them from the Qiblah to which they were used?" Say: To Allah belong both East and West; He guideth whom He will to a Way that is straight.
143. Thus have We made of you an Ummah justly balanced that ye might be witnesses over the nations and the Apostle a witness over yourselves; and We appointed the Qiblah to which thou wast used only to test those who followed the Apostle from those who would turn on their heels (from the faith). Indeed it was (a change) momentous except to those guided by Allah. And never would Allah make your faith of no effect. For Allah is to all people most surely full of kindness Most Merciful.

If they aren't believing Muslims, the true values to which the most successful people credit their success are only a subset of our Deen which is a complete set of divine values reflected in the natural laws of creation. Yet their success is phenomenal upon only a subset of our values. How much more successful can or should believing Muslims be who believe and practice Al-Islam?[1]

Network Effects
The network effect is a phenomenon whereby increased numbers of people or participants improve the value of a good or service. The Internet is an example of the network effect. Furthermore, as more users gained access to the Internet, they produced more content, information, and services.

“The philosopher, the thinker, was before the exact sciences, or the true sciences. I don’t know why we call them the true scientists. These are not true scientists. These are true tools of creation and that is all he (the scientist) is. He is a tool of creation. He thinks he’s using creation and it is using him to express itself and give itself to more people. He is nothing but a tool of creation. And the proof of it is the creation says, ”Don’t use your brain, just watch me. Just keep digging into me and studying me. Just keep looking what I have inside of me and shared with others”. “Thoughts For Searchers” page 27

Understand this, that if you are going to make progress with other people, you are going to have to be of some value to them. And that goes for the business world. You come to me with some idea, you want to sell me something. It's got to be of value to me too. You want me to help you with something, want me to share the responsibility, want me to share the expenses or support you, it has to be valuable to me too. So learn that.

“What do you have??”
Hadrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said that when a man of the Ansar came to Prophet Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) and begged from him, he asked him whether he had nothing in his house.
When he said that he had a piece of cloth, which he used for wearing as well as for spreading on the ground, and a wooden bowl from which he drank water, he told him to bring them to him, and when he did so he took them in his hand and asked, "Who will buy these?" When a man offered a dirham he asked twice or thrice. "Who will offer more than a dirham?" and he gave them to a man who offered two dirhams. He then took the two dirhams and giving them to the Ansari he said, "Buy food with one of them and hand it to your family, and buy an axe with the other and bring it to me." When he bought it, Allah's Prophetic Messenger fixed a handle on it with his own hand and said, "Go gather firewood and sell it, and don't let me see you for a fortnight." The man went away and gathered firewood and sold it. When he had earned ten dirhams he came to him and bought a garment with some of them and food with others. Then Allah's Prophetic Messenger said, "This is better for you than that begging should come as a spot on your face on the Day of Resurrection. Begging is right for only three people: one who is in grinding poverty, one who is seriously in debt, or one who is responsible for blood-wit he finds it difficult to pay." (Abu Dawud)
"No, it came from the devil, Satan. It says that "Satan made alluring to them", he puts the allurements in that. He makes the allurements. Not that it didn't have attractiveness before, but man obviously was not, he was not influenced by the "zeenun" of the creation. But he was influenced by obedience. Hs influence was obedience. He was conscious of his taqwa, obedience to God. That was the greatest influence in him, not the attraction of the world that God had made, although God had made the world beautiful . But then the Satan came and he put allurements in the path to attract man's attention to the appeal of the world and that's what caused him to get in a situation where he could have his rational life undermined by Satan.
That's what Satan actually did. He undermined the man's rational basis. He destroyed the man's rational basis by leading him to rational lies. ..... We have to be careful of rationalizing Because once the rational spirit takes over, the mind can make anything right that's wrong."
Prisoners of War teaching literacy after the Battle of Badr
The ransom for the prisoners ranged between 4000 and 1000 Dirhams in accordance with the captive’s financial situation. Another form of ransom assumed an educational dimension; most of the Makkans, unlike the Madinese, were literate and so each prisoner who could not afford the ransom was entrusted with ten children to teach them the art of writing and reading. Once the child had been proficient enough, the instructor would be set free.
By telling us to “Read in the name of the Creator”, Allah has given us the behavior that will put us on top in his name and for his service and ultimately for the service of humanity.

"He (Iblis) was the opening. He was the change in the attitude and disposition of the rational mind. Because we know that Jinn have rational mind like men. Just like human beings, the Jinn have rational minds. So, Iblis was the first change in the disposition of the rational mind that threatened man or stood as a block against man's future that G'd wanted for him. He, Iblis, was the first block to man's future. Then when that determination got stronger and stronger it became Satan, Shaytan." Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra)

In our Holy Book, it is said that Prophet Muhammed (saw) is mentioned in the Torah, as you know is the Old Testament, and in the Injil, which is the New Testament or Gospel of Jesus Christ. It doesn't say where it is mentioned in the Bible, but the language is so clear that I was able to recognize it as I became aware of the Bible reading, I have read the Bible from cover to cover, from Genesis to Revelation.
In the Qur'an, G-d said that Muhammed (saw) is the Unlettered Prophet, meaning he was never schooled or taught by any religious teachers. He was a businessman working for his wife, Lady Khadijah, may G-d be pleased with her. He was not acquainted with the Bible or any scriptures - unlettered or unlearned in scripture.

Abu Hurairah, (May Allah be pleased with him), reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: An infant is born according to his (true) nature (Al-Fitrah). It is his parents (Abawahu) who make him a Jew, a Christian or a Magian just as a she-camel gives birth to its young ones. Do you find any deficiency in their limbs?

“The cultural trends in America reveal the Satanic operation of manipulative principle covertly operating in the culture, influencing the cultural thinking. By the operation of such covert principle, the culture swings in pendulum from oppressive states to liberal states, bringing us a taste of the good times followed by a taste of hell. Near the bottom of the arch in the pendulum's swoop, social chaos and aberrant morality. This operation deceives the moral and rational vision in the common public and deny all Americans the freedom our nation proclaims.” WDM "As the Light Shineth in the East"
“Shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations” is a common adage in respect of intergenerational transfer of wealth and family businesses. The first generation creates the wealth, the second stewards it and the third consumes it. Sadly, less than 10% of family wealth survives the transition to the third generation.
Yet it is possible to counter the shirtsleeves-to-shirtsleeves paradigm and effectively differentiate yourself as a true manager of long-term family wealth. The key is to understand and avoid the four basic mistakes people typically make during intergenerational wealth planning.
"The story of Adam is the story of how God created the first person and that's the story of how God created every person." Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra)
“Adam is not a flesh and blood person. Adam is a disposition in the intellect that respects the creation, all of it and mates with the creation.” Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra)
Nature over Form
"In the clear focus that religion provides for us we see the importance of nature over form. Many people in religion read the allegorical or symbolic language of scripture and they can't see beneath the surface to read the real message that is in the symbolism or the allegorism. They come to the conclusion that religion is telling us how the sun was put in the sky, how the moon was put in the sky, how the stars were put in the sky, how fish were put in the water, and how trees and other life sprung up from the physical earth. But actually, God is saying to us with scripture — and the great prophets made this knowledge available to us — that the world without is only a sign and a signal that He has made to direct you and your growth." Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra)
Eid al-Adha, Arabic for Festival of the Sacrifice, is the latter of the two official holidays celebrated within Islam. It honours the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son Ishmael as an act of obedience to God's command. Before Ibrahim could sacrifice his son, however, God provided a lamb to sacrifice instead
Billionaire financial coach Dan Peña sat down for his first-ever VladTV interview, where he opened up about his upbringing and being poor while growing up in the barrio in East Los Angeles. Peña went on to speak about growing his fortune and being worth $500 million by the time he was in his mid-40's. He also spoke about why he decided to become a financial coach and coaching people on how to become millionaires. Peña then spoke about coaching billionaires, which you can hear more about above.
"Now, for all of these years that I have been working with the locks of secret knowledge nothing has been as rewarding to me as knowing that actually exactness in Scripture is abstract; and abstract in Scripture is exactness." 12/28/1980 4th Sunday Hookup - Chicago, Ill Significance of Imam W. Deen Mohammed
“Abstract reasoning uses concretes to talk about that, that is not concrete. It uses physical things like this to talk about something that is not physical; So, it will use a physical thing to talk about your spirit, a physical thing to talk about your moral life, a physical thing to talk about your mentality or your mental make-up, It will use physical things to talk about things that are not tangible, not touchable, not physical.”
Figurative means concepts that have to be seen (are only properly understood) outside of the picture that they are given in. (WDM 12-28-80)

“Self-interest can be selfishness. But, if it takes this route from the universe or from the cosmos and seeks its destiny from the cosmos to its place where it is going to reside and have its life, it will not be selfish. Connecting cosmologically, an environment framework is now reached for identifying our soul’s inclusiveness. From this cosmological home a direction is found mapping frameworks that will support one’s human existence.” Page 7 “The Promised Human Destiny”
Dr. Shaquille O'Neal aka Shaq is not only one of the best best basketball players ever, he’s also one of the best businessmen of our generation.

Furthermore, he owns the intellectual property to some of the most iconic brands in history. He has also sold over 150 million pairs of affordable sneakers at Walmart and he’s established himself as one of the best marketers ever. We talked about all the above accolades and more on episode 141. He also spoke about his experiences with the late great Kobe Bryant and The Notorious BIG, and he gave advice for all up and coming and established entrepreneurs looking to take their business to the next level.
“The good news is, this ain't spooky. Just my own natural life, it goes into another reality. The natural life in me. It goes into another dimension of reality. It goes in there with my spirit first. And after my Spirit dwells in there long enough, my mind, learns something about that new dimension that my spirit has gone into. My mind, my rational curiosity eventually, with God's help, lets me know more about that world, that my spirit has gone into. A bigger dimension of space in reality. Yes, I've already experienced that. Thank God.” Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra)
FS MUSING: When the spirit of truth (sacred intuition; search with taqwa) goes into another dimension and discovers “something”, it has discovered the truth. But at that point of discovery, the mind has no “category of thought” for what the spirit has discovered. However, when the spirit introduces it to the mind then the mind gives it a name (Khalaqa) and that name becomes the “body” (rational “place within the system”; Sowaa; a category of thought) for what has been discovered and that’s what makes it active (Qadara) in the world of human beings. Its activity is in accordance with its “truth and reality” (Haada)

We have Inner Urge To Understand
So do you see how creation oppresses us? But the very same thing that oppress us is responsible for freeing us for God has put in us an urge to understand , and the more pressure or opposition to that understanding, the stronger the urge becomes. Some are eliminated. in the process but the strong survive. Yes, the more the environment seems to press upon the intellect it and oppress it it and intimidate it, the more determined the intellect gets to deal with it, and I say, the strong survive; the weak are in the mental institutions or wasted in the dope dens, the prostitution dens, or the bars of the city; but the strong they survive. Praise be to Allah.
The Human Science of Conviction!!!
“We need a behavioral system for ordering perceptions and attitudes in order to support us having faith in good behavior.” WDM
Whatever is useful to society is the “Will of Allah”. Thus, as long as what we strive for is demonstrably and inherently “useful to society” then Allah’s Will is with the endeavor.
On an objective level, when we conceive a matter of intended production, and our confidence in the algorithm [“how to do it” and “why it’s possible”] becomes firm. That’s conviction.[1] Consequently, the internal mechanisms [motivational systems], activate our inner resources and provoke behavior patterns in us that comply with the “algorithm” [you “stick to it”]. Behavior born of such conviction remains until we’ve attained what we’ve conceived and committed ourselves to.
“It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.” Muhammad Ali
[1] “If we had a system of belief that was perceived correctly, patterned on G'd's universal value system, it should be able to support us and give us a situation for life and growth and prosperity.” WDM

Al-Dawah Magazine (AD): What is the best approach to Dawah in the American society, Imam Mohammed?
Imam W. Deen Mohammed (WDM): Bis mi la hir Rahman nir Raheem. The best approach when you are going to address human concerns is to first be aware of the circumstances for that concern. I would say the best approach is to study our circumstances there in the United States. And what I mean by that is to study the situation of the Muslims. How they are accepted by the non-Muslims in the United States. What represents the main problems for us with non-Muslims. Does the nature of the American government or American politics present any real obstacles for us, our Dawah? So first it is best to see the circumstances good or bad or favorable or unfavorable for the Dawah in the United States.

Waraqa Bin Nufail
Then Allah’s Messenger returned with the inspiration and with his heart beating severely. Then he went to Khadija bint Khuwailid and said, “Cover me! Cover me!” They covered him till his fear was over and after that he told her everything that had happened and said, “I fear that something may happen to me.” Khadija replied, “Never! By Allah, Allah will never disgrace you. You keep good relations with your kith and kin, help the poor and the destitute, serve your guests generously and assist the deserving calamity-afflicted ones.” Khadija then accompanied him to her cousin Waraqa ibn Naufal ibn Asad ibn ‘Abdul ‘Uzza, who, during the pre-Islamic Period became a Christian and used to write the writing with Hebrew letters. He would write from the Gospel in Hebrew as much as Allah wished him to write. He was an old man and had lost his eyesight. Khadija said to Waraqa, “Listen to the story of your nephew, O my cousin!” Waraqa asked, “O my nephew! What have you seen?” Allah’s Messenger described whatever he had seen. Waraqa said, “This is the same one who keeps the secrets (angel Gabriel) whom Allah had sent to Moses. I wish I were young and could live up to the time when your people would turn you out.” Allah’s Messenger asked, “Will they drive me out?” Waraqa replied in the affirmative and said, “Anyone (man) who came with something similar to what you have brought was treated with hostility; and if I should remain alive till the day when you will be turned out then I would support you strongly.” But after a few days Waraqa died and the Divine Revelation was also paused for a while.” (Al-Bukhari)

Jesus was an impulse to shoot the world in that direction, trusting the
Lord Who’s Will forces men in that direction. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
was the teacher bringing the rational message to educate the people,
to bring us into rational contact, rational command of our life and our
environment. How wonderful that is! Can any of you Muslims now go on
living a spiritual life, neglecting this life that must be consummated with
the tools of intelligence? No, if you Muslims are for real and if you have
understood what we are teaching, you cannot rest until you meet your
destiny in this better sense and intelligence to cultivate for the Hereafter.
Isn’t that true? Yes, we are never satisfied until our tools of intelligence are
working in this world to make it more useful, more productive, pleasing to
Allah and more beneficial to us.

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "My similitude in comparison with the other prophets before me, is that of a man who has built a house nicely and beautifully, except for a place of one brick in a corner. The people go about it and wonder at its beauty, but say: 'Would that this brick be put in its place!' So, I am that brick, and I am the last of the Prophets."

"The values of the natural social conscience which when understood from a sacred/divine perspective need human, flesh and blood, representatives that will carry their force into the world. This speaks to the embodiment of the proverb “nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come”. This is also the common representation of “and the Word became flesh”. Consequently, the various battles in the “four birds” arenas of life are battles of one value against another in that domain (a battle of narratives; labels [are words as containers] which promote a particular narrative which promotes a particular kind of behavior [social logic] as a consequence). And the value to be supported and that is divinely supported is the one that is most consistent with the Will of God under the circumstances." Imam Faheem Shuaibe

So, why did Allah create and preserve the original Arabic language? Because it was his plan to reveal ideas, meanings, principles, values, concepts and logic hitherto unknown, not just to Arabs, but for the benefit of mankind until the end of time, in the Holy Quran. By the Quran, Allah would/will/does reveal ideas, meanings, principles, values, concepts and logic that would serve man until the end of human history - [As the first of those revelations states "Taught man what he was not before knowing" and in later revelations Allah states that he is "teaching you new knowledge"] - All of this speaks to the intention of Allah and his plan to create a language capable of containing Divine ideas, Divine meanings, Divine principles, Divine values, Divine concepts, Divine logic and Divine Wisdom.[1]

“How the Big Boys Play Whale Games”)
A market of an attractive asset that is undervalued/oversold is what the “big boys” are looking to buy into. So, the Big Boys will push an asset down through their influence and accumulate the asset until there are “very few sellers”. This means that “the bottom is in”. Then they spark an “upswing”[1] by selling some of the asset so as to trigger market sentiment in the other direction [like throwing in shark bait, called “chum”, to attract the sharks]. These large initial sales [buying] begin to push the price of the asset back up. And since the tendency of [retail] buyers is to “Chase the market”, when they see the price of the asset going back up, FOMO [Fear Of Missing Out] takes over and they come running back into the market to “buy” and therein lies the “big boys” profit. Because, they can now sell the asset that they accumulated during the DIP to make a profit from the “new retail” buyers coming in with "NEW MONEY" pushing the price of the asset up. Then the Big Boys start the process all over again – through FUD and Large Block sales of the asset to cause the “retail buyers/weak hands” to sell their asset. This creates A market of an attractive asset that is undervalued/oversold. Yes, it’s like shearing sheep or milking cows.

25. It brings forth its fruit at all times by the leave of its Lord. So, Allah sets forth parables for men in order that they may receive admonition.
26. And the parable of an evil Word is that of an evil tree. It is torn up by the root from the surface of the earth: it has no stability.
27. Allah will establish in strength those who believe with the Word that stands firm in this world and in the Hereafter; but Allah will leave to stray those who do wrong: Allah doeth what He willeth.
3: 79. It is not (possible) that a man to whom is given the Book and Wisdom and the prophetic office should say to people: "Be ye my worshippers rather than Allah's; on the contrary (he would say): [Rabbaniyun]: "Be of those who are possessed of Command, Authority and Mastery in systems of knowledge by what you have been teaching of the Book and by what you are studying."
A man came to Prophet Mohammad (prayers and peace be upon him), then said: (the Arabic text):
الرَّجُلُ يُقَاتِلُ لِلْمَغْنَمِ . وَالرَّجُلُ يُقَاتِلُ لِلذِّكْرِ. وَالرَّجُلُ يُقَاتِلُ لِيُرَى مَكَانُهُ . فَمَنْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ: مَنْ قَاتَلَ لِتَكُونَ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ هِيَ الْعُلْيَا فَهُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ.
One man fights for the spoils of war, another fights to win fame, and another fights to display his courage, which of them is fighting in the way of Allah? The Messenger of Allah, (Prayers and peace be upon him), said: The one who fights so that Allah’s Word (Kalimatullahi: Command, Agreement, Terms of the Contract with Allah; See 3:64; 3:104) be exalted, is the one who fights in the way of Allah.

How did Allah preserve “The Original Arabic Language”? According to the history of the Arabic language -
“The word “Arab” [`arab] means “nomad”[1], and Arabic was originally the language of itinerant tribes in the desert regions of the Arabian Peninsula. The very inaccessibility of much of that terrain (including what is now known as “the Empty Quarter”) may well account for the fact that, of all the Semitic languages, Arabic seems to be the one that has preserved many of the features of the …. so-called “Proto-Semitic” from which the family of Semitic languages was to emerge over time in its different forms.”[2]
[1] Saracen is/was a Middle Ages term for Arab that means “nomad”, as well.

It’s not the Bitcoin algorithm that is being manipulated. It’s the market sentiment about BTC (Narrative, Lies and Propaganda); it’s the “strong hands/weak hands” of the BTC Network versus Elon’s Network. Market Manipulation is “Interest, Appetite and Desire” Manipulation.
The organic relation of feeling and idea throws light on the old theological controversy about verbal revelation which once gave so much trouble to Muslim religious thinkers. Inarticulate feeling seeks to fulfil its destiny in idea which, in its turn, tends to develop out of itself its own visible garment[1]. It is no mere metaphor to say that idea and word both simultaneously emerge out of the womb of feeling[2], though logical understanding cannot but take them in a temporal order and thus create its own difficulty by regarding them as mutually isolated. There is a sense in which the word is also revealed.” Iqbal “The Reconstruction of Religious Thought”
[1] [Problem] Intuition, Idea, Ideology, [Institution, Culture]
[2] Language is the product of “Inarticulate Feeling” and Idea realizing their common destiny in the objective world.
3: 79. It is not (possible) that a man to whom is given the Book and Wisdom and the prophetic office should say to people: "Be ye my worshippers rather than Allah's; on the contrary (he would say): [Rabbaniyun]: "Be ye worshippers of Him Who is truly the Cherisher of all for ye have taught the Book and ye have studied it earnestly."
Compared to how [Rabbaniyun]: is translated in this verse--
5:44[47] It was We who revealed the law (to Moses): therein was guidance and light. By its standard have been judgements are made the Jews, by the prophets [Nabiiyuun] who bowed to Allah's will, by the rabbis [Haaduu] belonging to the Jews] and the doctors of law [Rabbaniyun]:and the learned among the Jews [Al-Ahbar] for to them was entrusted the protection of Allah's book, and they were witnesses thereto: therefore fear not men, but fear me, and sell not my signs for a miserable price. If any do fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (no better than) Unbelievers.

"Man is a social creature and the spirit of the Quran is, what? The spirit of the Quran is social inspiration. Social inspiration. It feeds our social aspirations. This word social is bigger than we think it is. By social we don't mean just associating with each other physically. But our dependency on each other as members of a world society, we want to keep the focus on the Muslim community right now, as members of the Muslim community, our dependency on each other brings us together. And our love for each other brings us together.
The woman is a G’d-given; G’d written symbol
The woman is an Ayat (Feminine) to be read
The woman is a walking embodiment of life and what life is in its nature and how it should be responded to.
The woman is an embodiment of the universe in her form and nature. She is a sign of how we should live life as men, as women and as a society.
Abdullah b. Mas'ud reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: There is none amongst you with whom is not attached to a jinn. They (the Companions) said: Allah's Messenger, with you too? Thereupon he said: Yes, but Allah helps me against him and so I am safe from his hand and he does not command me but for good.”
When Allah says that Fasting has been prescribed for you, what does it mean?
Prescriptions are written for particular conditions. What condition is fasting prescribed for? “The Human Condition.”
The Prophet said "Each of us is attached to a Jinn" this means that the Jinn is connate to our humanity but not innate. The Jinn is a part of our “existential” human reality in this life [KSQH].
It’s critically important to understand that Connate is different than Innate (inborn). Connate means that it’s not in human nature but it comes with the dynamic operations of every human beings' life;
The Jinn is connected with our life just like exhaust fumes are connected to an engine as it does its work. Those emissions were not the intention of the engine but they are and inescapable part of its operation.
So, when Allah said to Adam, his Wife and to Iblis, “Get you down from here altogether on earth will be your dwelling place for a time”. Iblis wasn't in Adam (human nature) but he was with Adam.

“If you do not have this purity you will never get revelation. It means you have to have a feel for what G_d is saying. You have to have a feel for what G_d wants you to do before you even have it in your brain, or in your knowledge. You have to have a feel for it. But you will never have the feel for the direction G_d wants you to take in the Qur’an until you love purity, love righteousness, want purity and want righteousness. “None will touch it but the purified ones”.
Imam W. D. Mohammed “Education: A Sacred Matter”
Relative to human language, the distinction, merit and worth of any given language is in the “potency” of the vocabulary and the use to which the language is put.
What is the “potency” of a vocabulary? Since it is the nature of words to act as containers for ideas, meaning, principles and values, the “potency” of a vocabulary is in the magnitude of power and generative force in the ideas, meaning, principles and values of its words. Words contain Concepts and Concepts contain a Logic. So, additionally, the potency of a vocabulary is in the magnitude of power and generative force of its conceptual logic. In these regards, Quranic Arabic is unique among languages.
18:46 Wealth and children are adornment of the worldly life. But the enduring good deeds are better with your Lord as a source of rewards and better as a source of hopes.
Hadith No: 3925 Narrated/Authority of Talhah bin Ubaidullah
Listed in: The Chapters on the Interpretation of Dreams
Two men from Bali came to the Messenger of Allah (saw). They had become Muslim together, but one of them used to strive harder than the other. The one who used to strive harder went out to fight and was martyred. The other one stayed for a year longer, then he passed away. Talhah said: "I saw in a dream that I was at the gate of Paradise and I saw them (those two men). Someone came out of Paradise and admitted the one who had died last, then he came out and admitted the one who had been martyred. Then he came back to me and said: 'Go back, for your time has not yet come.'" The next morning, Talhah told the people of that and they were amazed. News of that reached the Messenger of Allah (saw) and they told him the story. He said: "Why are you so amazed at that?" They said: "O Messenger of Allah, the first one was the one who strove harder, then he was martyred, but the other one was admitted to Paradise before him. The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "Did he not stay behind for a year?" They said: "Yes." He said: "And did not Ramadan come and he fasted, and he offered such and such prayers during that year?" They said: "Yes." The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "The difference between them is greater than the difference between heaven and earth."
18:46 Wealth and children are adornment of the worldly life. But the enduring good deeds are better with your Lord as a source of rewards and better as a source of hopes.
The Prophet said, “There is nothing equal to fasting” (as a means to Paradise). And he says that the blessings of Fasting in the Month of Ramadan are greater than the blessings of fasting at other times. During Ramadan everything Good is Magnified and Multiplied.
"The first verse is Bismillaah Ar Rahmaan nir Raheem unlike the other chapters it’s the first verse of this chapter whereas the other chapters, Bismillaah ir Rahmaan ir Raheem is the opening and the first verse begins with something else. Lets take for example the next chapter Suratul Baqara the first verse is Alif Lam Meem not Bismillaahir Rahmaan ir Raheem. But for Al Fatiha the first verse is Bismillaahir Rahmaan ir Raheem and there are a total of seven verses the last being the path, the seventh of the verses." Imam Mohammed (ra)

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Fasting is a shield (or a screen or a shelter). So, the person observing fasting should avoid sexual relation with his wife and should not behave foolishly and impudently, and if somebody fights with him or abuses him, he should tell him twice, 'I am fasting." The Prophet (ﷺ) added, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, the smell coming out from the mouth of a fasting person is better in the sight of Allah than the smell of musk. (Allah says about the fasting person), 'He has left his food, drink and desires for My sake. The fast is for Me. So, I will reward (the fasting person) for it and the reward of good deeds is multiplied ten times."

2: 183. O ye who believe! fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you that ye may (learn) self-restraint.
On the authority of Abu Muhammad Abdullah bin ’Amr bin al-’Aas (RadhiyAllahu ‘anhu) who said: The Messenger of Allah (SallaAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam) said,
“None of you [truly] believes until his desires are subservient to that which I have brought.”
Hadith on Doing the Basic 5 practices
A bedouin with unkempt hair came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Inform me what Allah has made compulsory for me as regards the prayers." He replied: "You have to offer perfectly the five compulsory prayers in a day and night (24 hours), unless you want to pray Nawafil." The bedouin further asked, "Inform me what Allah has made compulsory for me as regards fasting." He replied, "You have to fast during the whole month of Ramadan, unless you want to fast more as Nawafil." The bedouin further asked, "Tell me how much Zakat Allah has enjoined on me." Thus, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) informed him about all the rules (i.e. fundamentals) of Islam. The bedouin then said, "By Him Who has honored you, I will neither perform any Nawafil nor will I decrease what Allah has enjoined on me. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "If he is saying the truth, he will succeed (or he will be granted Paradise).

Amazon has the Dominant Network effect for Merchandise; Reached its tipping point; Knocked down the Big Box Stores (who have their niche in the merchandise ecosystem) and is immovable as to Sales of Merchandise (“energy” = interest, utilization multiplied by users)
Google has the Dominant Network effect for Search Engines; Reached its tipping point; Knocked down Yahoo and Bing (who have their niche in the search engine ecosystem) and is immovable as to information seeking and Data Retrieval (“energy” = interest, utilization multiplied by users)
Facebook has the Dominant Network effect for Social Networking Reached its tipping point; without any competition but now there are other Social Networking Platforms; Twitter; IG [owner??], TikTok, SnapChat et.al (who have their niche in the Social Networking ecosystem) but currently FB is immovable as to Social Networking (“energy” = interest, utilization multiplied by users)
BTC has the Dominant Network effect for Monetary Energy (Store of value). It has yet to reach its tipping point. However, it is fundamentally without any competition as an Institutional Grade Safe Haven Investment Asset.
“Switching Costs” protect the (old) paradigm like Facebook because currently it has the greater Network Effect compared to its competitors in Social Networking.
We have stated that our original created nature was conceived by Allah in a realm above and beyond “all categories of thought” that we, as humans, are familiar with. It is a domain that could be seen as “No-where”. In fact, the Quran says there was a time when man was “No-thing”.
76:1. Has there not been over Man a long period of Time when he was nothing- - (not even) mentioned?
But then Allah “conceived the human being” and gave him his first existence. With that conception, Allah sent his “Human Creation” on its “Sacred Journey” toward “full expression” in space and time. That is the “Sacred Journey” of our original created self and nature that began in the matter of the Universe and which continues in the Earth.
