A MUSLIM EUROPE – How Close?? – THE FACTS

In a generation or two, the US will ask itself: “who lost Europe?”
Here is the speech of Geert Wilders, a member of Parliament
from the Netherlands, at the Four Seasons, New York on Sept 28, 2008:

AMERICA as THE LAST MAN STANDING
-by Geert Wilders.

I come to America with a mission. All is not well in the old world.
There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be
optimistic. We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of
Europe. This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of
Europe itself, it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the
West. The United States as the last bastion of Western civilization,
facing an Islamic Europe.

First I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe. Then, I
will say a few things about Islam. To close I will tell you about a
meeting in Jerusalem.

The Europe you know is changing. You have probably seen the 
landmarks. But in all of these cities, sometimes a few blocks
away from your tourist destination, there is another world. It is the
world of the parallel society created by Muslim mass-migration. All
throughout Europe a new reality is rising: entire Muslim neighborhoods
where very few indigenous people reside or are even seen. And if
they are, they might regret it. This goes for the police as well. It’s
the world of head scarves, where women walk around in figureless
tents, with baby strollers and a group of children. Their husbands,
or slaveholders if you prefer, walk three steps ahead, with mosques
on many street corners. The shops have signs you and I cannot
read. You will be hard-pressed to find any economic activity.
These are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious fanatics. These
are Muslim neighborhoods, and they are mushrooming in every
city across Europe. These are the building-blocks for territorial
control of increasingly larger portions of Europe, street by street,
neighborhood by neighborhood, city by city.

There are now thousands of mosques throughout Europe. With
larger congregations than there are in churches. And in every
European city there are plans to build super-mosques that will
dwarf every church in the region. Clearly, the signal is: we rule.

Many European cities are already one-quarter Muslim: just take
Amsterdam, Marseille and Malmo in Sweden.   

In many cities the majority of the under-18 population is Muslim.
Paris is now surrounded by a ring of Muslim neighborhoods.
Mohammed is the most  popular name among boys in many cities.
In some elementary schools in Amsterdam the farm can no longer
be mentioned, because that would also mean mentioning the pig,
and that would be an insult to Muslims. Many state schools in
Belgium and Denmark only serve halal food to all pupils… 

The history of the Holocaust can no longer be taught because of
Muslim sensitivity. In England sharia courts are now officially part
of the British legal system..

Many neighborhoods in France are no-go areas for women without
head scarves. Last week a man almost died after being beaten up
by Muslims in Brussels, because he was drinking during the
Ramadan. Jews are fleeing France in record numbers, on the run
for the worst wave of anti-Semitism since World War II. French is
now commonly spoken on the streets of Tel Aviv and Netanya,
Israel. I could go on forever with stories like this. Stories about
Islamization.

A total of fifty-four million Muslims now  live in Europe. San  Diego
University recently calculated that a staggering 25 percent of the
population in Europe will be Muslim just 12 years from  now…

Now  these are just numbers. And the numbers would not be 
threatening if the Muslim-immigrants had a strong desire to
assimilate. But there are few signs of that. The Pew Research
Center reported that half of French Muslims see their loyalty to
Islam as greater than their loyalty to France. One-third of French
Muslims do not object to suicide attacks. The British Centre for
Social Cohesion reported that one-third of British Muslim students
are in favor of a worldwide caliphate. Muslims demand what they
call ‘respect’. And this is how we give them respect. We have
Muslim official state holidays.

The Christian-Democratic attorney general is willing to accept
sharia in the Netherlands if  there is a Muslim majority. We have
cabinet members with passports from Morocco and Turkey.
Muslim demands are supported by unlawful behavior, ranging from
petty crimes and random violence, for example against ambulance
workers and bus drivers, to small-scale riots. Paris has seen its
uprising in the low-income suburbs, the banlieus. I call the
perpetrators ’settlers’.  Because that is what they are. They do not
come to integrate into our societies, they come to integrate our
society into their Dar-al-Islam. Therefore, they are settlers.

Much of this street violence I mentioned is directed exclusively
against non-Muslims, forcing many native people to leave their
neighborhoods, their cities, their countries. Moreover, Muslims are
now a swing vote not to be ignored.

The second thing you need to know is the importance of Mohammed
the prophet. His behavior is an example to all Muslims and cannot
be criticized. Now, if Mohammed had been a man of peace, let us
say like Ghandi and Mother Theresa wrapped in one, there would
be no problem. But Mohammed was a warlord, a mass murderer,
a pedophile, and had several marriages – at the same time. Islamic
tradition tells us how he fought in battles, how he had his enemies
murdered and even had prisoners of war executed. Mohammed 
himself slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza. If it is good
for Islam, it is good. If it is bad for Islam, it is bad.

Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion. Sure, it has a god,
and a here-after, and 72 virgins, but in its essence Islam is a
political ideology. It is a system that lays down detailed rules for
society and the life of every person. Islam wants to dictate every
aspect of life. Islam means ’submission’. Islam is not compatible
with freedom and democracy, because what it striv es for is sharia.
If you want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism
or national-socialism, these are all totalitarian ideologies.

Now you know why Winston Churchill called Islam ‘the most
retrograde force in the  world’, and why he compared Mein
Kampf to the Quran. The public has wholeheartedly accepted the
Palestinian narrative, and sees Israel as the aggressor. I have
lived in this country and visited it dozens of times. I support Israel.
First, because it is the Jewish homeland after two thousand years
of exile up to and including Auschwitz, second because it is a
democracy, and third because Israel is our first line of defense.

This tiny country is situated on the fault line of jihad, frustrating
Islam’s territorial advance. Israel is facing the front lines of jihad,
like Kashmir, Kosovo, the Philippines, Southern Thailand, Darfur
in Sudan, Lebanon, and Aceh in Indonesia. Israel is simply in the
way. The same way West-Berlin was during the Cold War.

The war against Israel is not a war against Israel. It is a war
against the West. It is jihad. Israel is simply receiving the blows
that are meant for all of us. If there would have been no Israel,
Islamic imperialism would have found other venues to release its
energy and its desire for conquest. Thanks to Israeli parents who
send their children to the army and lay awake at night, parents in
Europe and America can sleep well and dream, unaware of the
dangers looming.

Many in Europe argue in favor of abandoning Israel in order to
address the grievances of our Muslim minorities. But if Israel
were, God forbid, to go down, it would not bring any solace to the
West. It would not mean our Muslim minorities would all of a
sudden change their behavior, and accept our values. On the
contrary, the end of Israel would give enormous encouragement to
the forces of Islam. They would, and rightly so, see the demise of
Israel as proof that the West is weak, and doomed. The end of
Israel would not mean the end of our problems with Islam, but only
the beginning. It would mean the start of the final battle for world
domination. If they can get Israel, they can get everything.

So-called journalists volunteer to label any and all critics of
Islamization as a ‘right-wing extremists’ or ‘racists’. In my country,
the Netherlands, 60 percent of the population now sees the mass
immigration of Muslims as the number one policy mistake since
World War II. And another 60 percent sees Islam as the biggest
threat. Yet there is a danger greater than terrorist attacks, the
scenario of America as the last man standing. The lights may go
out in Europe faster than you can imagine.

An Islamic Europe means a Europe without freedom and democracy,
an economic wasteland, an intellectual nightmare, and a loss of
military might for America – as its allies will turn into enemies,
enemies with atomic bombs….

Sometimes I concentrate too much on defending the truth against liars such as Bush & Obama. On those occasions, I may overlook critical issues which others find obvious. The Cairo speech was one such occasion.

David P. Goldman, writing at the Asia Times, called me to order:  Wrong venue for Obama’s Muslim speech

.

Why should the president of the United States address the “Muslim world”, as Barack Obama will do in Egypt this Thursday? What would happen if the leader of a big country addressed the “Christian world”? Half the world would giggle and the other half would sulk.

The first sentence, particularly the quoted phrase, brought the issue into focus for me. “Muslim world” implies unity; that Dar al-Islam has conquered Dar al-Harb and taken over. Earlier, President Obama said that the U.S.A. is not a Christian nation. This time, he declared us a Muslim nation. As such, it must either be immune from attack if ruled by Muslims or conquered to restore it to righteous Muslim rule, eliminating the Kafir government.  With a Muslim President ensconced in the White House, how much time will pass before the practitioners of takfir will call for his head as a hypocrite?  Continued conflict in Afghanistan & Iraq would guarantee that outcome.

The expression”Muslim world” is part of an egregious pandering campaign of appeasement which can only embolden our enemies and renew their enthusiasm , prompting further attacks. To the casual listener, it is a reference to the parts of Asia, Africa & Europe where Allah’s writ runs. But world is an inclusive term, implying the whole ofthe planet, not a region or subdivision.

The U.S.A. is a secular nation, not a theocracy. It is so by design and wisely so. We have citezens who adhere to various and some to no religion. Officially, religion is a personal and private matter, not to be imposed upon others by force.  Islam is political; it demands a total monopoly on faith and practice; declaring itself perfect and all others falseimpostors which must be suppressed under Islamic rule.

In our system, laws are made by elected legislatures. In Islam, Allahs word is law and new conditions are treated by analogy and consencus of the Ulema. Islamic law is applied by the Caliph or Imam and his decision is final. Doubters & dissenters are referred to 33:26 for correction.

• 33:36. It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allâh and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allâh and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed in a plain error.

We have foolishly elected a usurper, constitutionally unqualified for the office he holds. The Constitution requires that the President be a natural born citizen, not a dual citizen.  President Obama declared himself a “citizen of the world“. He declared the world and this nation Muslim. If our Constitutional liberties and immunities are to be preserved, we must stop this usurper from doing further damage.

There is no provision for overturning a fraudulent election; or for do-overs. Any suggestion of a military coup is totally unacceptable, as is civil war. We citizens must rise up in unison, as one, and, with a loud clear voice, demand that the Congress refuse to enact any of Obama’s treasonous policies &  programs, foreign and domestic.

Contact your Congressman & Senators. Tell them to put the brakes on all of Obama’s programs. Tell them to stop and repeal the TARP & stimulus plans. Tell them to cancel plans for Alien Amnesty .  Tell them to keep their sticky fingers off of the health care system.  Tell them to take swift, decicesive military action against N. Korea & Iran. Make demands, not suggestions. Be disrespectful. Threaten to quit paying taxes. Promise to vote the bums out of office if they do not level out and fly straight. We have no other recourse. Wake up! Wise up!! Rise up!!! Revolt!!!!

Okay, you’ve pretty well got Europe. North America will fall just as easily, though perhaps 30 years later than Europe, most notably because there are creatures in southern America called cowboys that won’t go down without slaughtering as many of you as they can. (They’re not at all what you might be expecting, considering your experience with other spineless and negotiating Americans.) But ultimately you will win. You don’t need to use terrorism anymore– you’re winning politically, financially, and demographically.

But… If God wills that you won’t take Israel, no matter how much it may shrink, or how many of them die, then you will NEVER take Israel. Your leaders have professed that the existence of the state of Israel is the “greatest tragedy in all of history.” I’m not a prophet, but I’m guessing this major thorn in your side will never go away. Mohammad couldn’t solve the Jewish problem, and I don’t think Mahmoud is going to either. Those pesky Jews just won’t go away! They’ve been there right beside you since Abraham!

Of course, it appears quite impossible for Israel to survive now. But don’t you feel the wretched nuisance that these people have never been exterminated! What a bother that while Ishmael and Isaac were both blessed, only Isaac received the covenant promise! God’s chosen people! If He decides to keep them, every nuclear bomb in the world shall not destroy them.

What a scandal. Those most detestable and dishonorable people, from the nation of unbelievers, standing firm and ruling a nation smack in the middle of your beloved dar-al-Islam! How could Allah permit this? Surely you remain fallen from your roots of inward search and struggle. But imagine if none of your prayers will even bring about this “final solution”? Will you ever wonder what’s wrong with Allah?

The other thing that’s going to severely irritate you is that the Elect Christians will never submit. You’ll have to cut off ALL of their heads. Their stubbornness for the deity of Jesus will be far more zealous than your unrelenting hatred and worldview.

But the ultimate dread that awaits you is the second coming of Jesus. Saying, “Lord, we respected you as a great prophet” will not save you from His judgment. You have denied His deity and His resurrection, so you have no part in Him. He does not know you. The spirit of antichrist rules you, and this will drag you straight into hellfire.

Ruach Hakodesh רוח הקודש

This Article Will Undoubtedly Elevate Your Imaan (Faith) and Increase Your Understanding of True Islaam so that you may obtain Immovable Imaan (Faith)

Bismillah Hir’Rahmaan Nir’Raheem:

In the Name of Allah The Beneficent, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

As’salaamu Alaikum Wa’Rahmatullahi Wa’Barakatu ya Muslimeen.

 This is but a wake up project upon you so that you may get up from your slumber, get out! get out of the cloud you find yourself in and drink not of the water he will blind you with for indeed it is a fire from hell.

Surah 17. Al-Israa (Bani Israel)

81. And say: Truth hath come and falsehood hath vanished away. Lo! falsehood is ever bound to vanish.

Oh Mumineen the sign of Allah has come; the Ark of the Covenant “Holder of the Testimony” comes with an assurance of security from our Lord, our King The Almighty Allah Most High, Most Holy who is The Ruler and Sustainer of the Worlds.

In this (the Ark of the Covenant) “Holder of the Testimony” is a symbol for you if indeed you have faith “Imaan”

Allah Says in the Holy Quran: “We (Allah) will show them Our Signs in the Universe and in their ownselves until it becomes manifest to them that this is the Truth. Is it not enough that thy Lord do witness all things?” Q41:53

Ya Muslimeen shall I tell you what the Ark of the Covenant is? Tabut Al-Sakina

The Ark of the Covenant is an assurance of security from Allah; This Ark is a treasure chest, “a Holder of Heavenly Substance.”

Ya Mumineen shall I tell you what this Holder of Heavenly Substance is?

The Holder of Heavenly Substance is your Heart (The Ark) which holds your Faith “Imaan”

Ya Mumineen shall I tell you what the Covenant “Heavenly Substance” is?

The Covenant “Heavenly Substance” is the Muslim Testimony of Faith “Shahadah”

“I Testify that there’s none worthy of Worship but Allah; And I Testify that Mohammed is His final Messenger”

أشهد أن لا إله إلاَّ الله و أشهد أن محمد رسول الله 

(Qur’an, 2: 248) Their Prophet said to them, ‘The sign of his kingship is that the Ark will come to you, containing serenity from your Lord and certain relics left by the families of Musa and Harun. It will be borne by angels. There is a sign for you in that if you believe.

 تابوت العهد‎

Oh you who submit to the will of the Almighty Allah, be mindful of the Ark of the Covenant “the Imaan (Faith) in your Heart” treat it like a treasure chest of gold and ward off evil. Remember the two angels sit on each side of you; one recording the bad ye do and one recording the good ye do, if ye are of those who truly believe you would accept the sign of Allah. Remember Oh Muslim that on Judgment Day your record from these angels will be weighed and if ye receive the book of deeds in your right hand Jannah (Heaven) will be your abode but if ye receive your book of deeds in your left hand the blazing fire shall be your abode. Oh Muslim so be mindful of what ye do be truthful to the Covenant and serve Allah as He should be served for He is our Lord and King The Most High, Most Holy.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran: “Thus do We explain the signs in detail! Perchance they may turn (unto Us)”. Q7:174. “And He shows you always His Signs; then which of the Signs of Allah will you deny?” Q40:81.

My beloved people the Almighty Allah is the Sole Owner of All the Most High, Most Holy and Most Beautiful Names, Attributes or Titles, to Him Alone belongs such Glory. All Praise be to Him.

99. Verily We have revealed unto thee clear tokens, and only miscreants will disbelieve in them.

100. Is it ever so that when ye make a covenant a party of you set it aside? The truth is, most of them believe not.

101. And when there cometh unto them a messenger from Allah, confirming that which they possess, a party of those who have received the Scripture fling the Scripture of Allah behind their backs as if they knew not,

102. And follow that which the devils falsely related against the kingdom of Solomon. Solomon disbelieved not; but the devils disbelieved, teaching mankind magic and that which was revealed to the two angels in Babel, Harut and Marut. Nor did they (the two angels) teach it to anyone till they had said: We are only a temptation, therefore disbelieve not (in the guidance of Allah). And from these two (angels) people learn that by which they cause division between man and wife; but they injure thereby no one save by Allah’s leave. And they learn that which harmeth them and profiteth them not. And surely they do know that he who trafficketh therein will have no (happy) portion in the Hereafter; and surely evil is the price for which they sell their souls, if they but knew.

103. And if they had believed and kept from evil, a recompense from Allah would be better, if they only knew.

Oh Mumineen (True Believer) shall I tell you the origin and history of the Ark of the Covenant in Islaam?

The Muslim origin or history of the Ark of the Covenant is from the time of Adam Alaihi’Salaam, who brought it out from the Heavenly Abode. Its contents are the Divine Assistance, Might and Power which comes from Allah. The signs hereof can be seen in the miracles of the Hajr al Aswad “the Black Stone”, the Staff of Musa Alaihi’Salaam, the Ring of Sulaiyman Alaihi’Salaam and Zulfiqar “the Sword of Prophet Muhammad Salallahu Alaiyhi Wa’salaam” which is among many other signs and miracles of Allah in the relics of the Ambiya. With the Covenant “Testimony of faith” came set rules and guidelines for mankind. From Nabi Adam, The Ark of the Covenant “Total Submission to the Will of Allah” was passed to Seth, and from Seth, to his son, and it “the religion of Islaam” continued to be guarded by Prophets until the birth of Prophet “Nabi” Ibraheem Alaihi’Salaam. 

Ibraheem Alaihi’Salaam inherited it from his real father, and his father was not Azar the idolater, rather his name was Tarah, Tarah the real father of Ibraheem Alaihi’Salaam died when he was a young boy. In Muslim tradition, there were Prophets who came before Ibraheem Alaihi’Salaam as well, and it is our belief that they guarded it “the Ark of the Covenant”, until it made its way to him, Ibraheem Alaihi Salaam had been given a word of the reality that there’s only One Illah (Deity) worthy of Worship, thus he set on the path of Truth and He was blessed with the covenant. Ibraheem Alaihi’Salaam then gave it to his first son Ishmael. Together, they built the Ka’ba in Makkah, and placed in its corner from the Ark of the Covenant “Container of Heavenly Substance which is their hearts” the black stone (Hajr al Aswad) for the pleasure of Allah. Ibraheem Alaihi’Salaam then also passed the Ark of the Covenant “Faith in Allah which is the Shahadah” to his second son Isaac.

Ya Muslimeen, my brethren the Yahoodi “Israelites” and those who claim to follow the Gospel of Isa Alaihi’Salaam the son of Maryam reflect within you that which is known of the Covenant and ponder:

Our Almighty Lord, Who created everything with sublime knowledge and wisdom, has revealed the existence of the Ark “Which is your Heart that is the Holder of the Covenant/ Testimony of Faith”

The Covenant: “I Testify that there’s none worthy of Worship but Allah; And I Testify that Mohammed is His Final Messenger”

There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets that Musa Alaihi’Salaam had placed in it at Horeb, where the Lord made a covenant with the Israelites after they came out of Egypt. (2 Chronicles 5: 10)

Together with the testimony of faith “There’s none worthy of worship but Allah, and Mohammed is His final Messenger” came the “Shariah” Commandments of Allah.

 
In Islaam Musa Alaihi’Salaam is one of the greatest prophets of Allah. However, Islaam teaches you in truth with facts that the texts of the Blessed Holy Torah and the Gospels of Allah have been corrupted from their divine originals over the years, due to great sin of the people which gathered the Anger of Allah and to which Allah marked them with the sign of division amongst each other, due to their carelessness and self-interest the Ark of the Covenant (The True Religion) was removed from them. Despite this purported corruption, messages from the Blessed Holy Torah and the Gospels still coincide closely with certain verses in the Qur’an. This is by-and-large the truth and the case with the Ten Commandments. Consequently, despite the Ten Commandments not being explicitly mentioned in the Holy Qur’an they are the Commandments; For Allah is Most Merciful and have not led them too far astray so that they may recognize the following verses in the Holy Qur’an:

1. “There is none worthy of Worship beside Allah.” (Qur’an 47:19)
2. “Ibraheem Alaihi’Salaam said: “My Lord, make this a peaceful land, and protect me and my children from worshiping idols.” (Qur’an 14:35)
3. “And make not Allah’s (name) an excuse in your oaths against doing good, or acting rightly, or making peace between persons; for Allah is One Who heareth and knoweth all things.” (Qur’an 2:224) This verse is not entirely analogous to the Old Testament’s “You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your Creator…” Verse 2:224 is explained by the Prophet Muhammad as: “If anyone takes a solemn oath [that he would do or refrain from doing such-and such a thing], and thereupon realizes that something else would be a more righteous course, then let him do that which is more righteous, and let him break his oath and then atone for it” (Bukhari and Muslim; and other variants of the same Tradition in other compilations).
4. “O you who believe, when the Congregational Prayer (Salat Al-Jumu`ah) is announced on Friday, you shall hasten to the commemoration of Allah, and drop all business.” (Qur’an 62:9)
   The Sabbath was relinquished with the revelation of the Holy Quran. The Quran tells that the Sabbath was only decreed for the Israeli Muslims of that appointed time. (Qur’an 16:124) The Almighty, ordered Muslims to make every effort and drop all businesses to attend the congregational Friday prayer (Jumu’ah). The Submitters may tend to their business during the rest of the day. “The best day over which the sun has ever risen is Jummu’ah (Firday). On this day Nabi Adam was admitted to Jannah (Heaven), on this day he was expelled from Jannah. The Hour (Judgment Day) will be established on the Day of Jumuah.” (Hadith).
5. “….and your parents shall be honoured. As long as one or both of them live, you shall never (even) say to them, “Uff” (the slightest gesture of annoyance), nor shall you shout at them; you shall treat them amicably.” (Qur’an 17:23)
6. “….anyone who murders any person who had not committed murder or horrendous crimes, it shall be as if he murdered all the people.” (Qur’an 5:32)
7. “You shall not commit adultery; it is an abomination (gross sin), and an evil way (evil behaviour).” (Qur’an 17:32)
8. “They shall not steal.” (Al-Mumtahanah 60: 12) and “The thief, male or female, you shall mark their hands (cut it off) as a punishment for their crime, and to serve as an example from Allah. Allah is Almighty, Most Wise.” (Qur’an 5:38)
9. “Do not withhold any testimony by concealing what you had witnessed. Anyone who withholds a testimony is sinful at heart.” (Qur’an 2:283)
10. “And do not covet what we bestowed upon any other people. Such are temporary ornaments of this life, whereby we put them to the test. What your Lord provides for you is far better, and everlasting.” (Qur’an 20:131)

Take note and contemplate on the 17th chapter, of the Holy Quran Surah “Al-Israa” (“The Night Journey”), verses [Qur'an 17:22], the Holy Qur’an provides a set of moral stipulations which are “among the (precepts of) wisdom, which thy Lord has revealed to thee” that can be reasonably categorised as ten in number. These resemble the Ten Commandments of the Scripture which is with you and “represents the fullest statement of the code of behavior every Muslim must follow”. And take note, that these verses are not regarded as being set apart from any other moral stipulations in the Holy Qur’an, nor are they regarded as a substitute, replacement or abrogation of some other set of commandments as found in the previous revelations from Allah The Most Holy, Most Wise.

Holy Quran Surah “Al-Israa” (“The Night Journey”)

1. Worship only God: Take not with Allah another object of worship; or thou (O man!) wilt sit in disgrace and destitution. (17:22)
2. Be kind, honourable and humble to one’s parents: Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but Him, and that ye be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour. (17:23) And, out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility, and say: “My Lord! bestow on them thy Mercy even as they cherished me in childhood.” (17:24)
3. Be neither miserly nor wasteful in one’s expenditure: And render to the kindred their due rights, as (also) to those in want, and to the wayfarer: But squander not (your wealth) in the manner of a spendthrift. (17:26) Verily spendthrifts are brothers of the Evil Ones; and the Evil One is to his Lord (himself) ungrateful. (17:27) And even if thou hast to turn away from them in pursuit of the Mercy from thy Lord which thou dost expect, yet speak to them a word of easy kindness. (17:28) Make not thy hand tied (like a niggard’s) to thy neck, nor stretch it forth to its utmost reach, so that thou become blameworthy and destitute. (17:29)
4. Do not engage in ‘mercy killings’ for fear of starvation: Kill not your children for fear of want: We shall provide sustenance for them as well as for you. Verily the killing of them is a great sin. (17:31)
5. Do not commit adultery: Nor come nigh to adultery: for it is a shameful (deed) and an evil, opening the road (to other evils). (17:32)
6. Do not kill unjustly: Nor take life – which Allah has made sacred – except for just cause. And if anyone is slain wrongfully, we have given his heir authority (to demand qisas or to forgive): but let him not exceed bounds in the matter of taking life; for he is helped (by the Law). (17:33)
7. Care for orphaned children: Come not nigh to the orphan’s property except to improve it, until he attains the age of full strength…(17:34)
8. Keep one’s promises: …fulfil (every) engagement [i.e. promise/covenant], for (every) engagement will be enquired into (on the Day of Reckoning). (17:34)
9. Be honest and fair in one’s interactions: Give full measure when ye measure, and weigh with a balance that is straight: that is the most fitting and the most advantageous in the final determination. (17:35)
10. Do not be arrogant in one’s claims or beliefs: And pursue not that of which thou hast no knowledge; for every act of hearing, or of seeing or of (feeling in) the heart will be enquired into (on the Day of Reckoning). (17:36) Nor walk on the earth with insolence: for thou canst not rend the earth asunder, nor reach the mountains in height. (17:37)

Oh you who claim to believe how can thee deny the confirmation from that which is with thee Named The Ten “Exodus 20:2–17, Exodus 34:11–27 and Deuteronomy 5:6–21.” Will thee give a blind eye, a deaf ear and a bad word to that which have been revealed to thee from thy Lord, surely thy be cursed then for doom if ye can not see nor hear a truth and a confirmation from that which is with thee?

The Torah also states that the Ark “Heart containing Deenul Islaam” was later carried away by the Prophet Dawud Alaihi’Salaam and installed elsewhere by the Prophet Sulaiman Alaihi’Salaam:

 Ya Muslimeen Al- Mumineen “True Believers” shall I tell you about the history of the sons of our beloved Nabi Ibraheem Alaihi’Salaam

The Children of Ishmael (Ishma “Hear My Prayer” El “O Lord)

The Ark then continued to be in the possession of the Children of Ishmael Alaihi’Salaam, amongst whom were both Prophets (Salih, Hud, the Prophet sent to the people of ar-Raas etc.) and Kings (the Kedarites, the descendents of Qedar, the son of Ishmael).  The Kedarites were such a powerful tribe that they also mentioned in the Torah, Assyrian Tablets and by the ancient Greeks.  It is written in the somewhat distorted Holy Bible,

“And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve mighty princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation” (Genesis 17:20)

From Jethro Alaihi’Salaam to Musa Alaihi’Salaam

Contemplate as to why the Children of Ishmael were free, and mighty, while the Children of Israel were still enslaved to the Pharaoh?  Amongst the descendents of Ishmael, the Muslim tradition holds that the Ark “Heart of the Testimony” was eventually inherited by the Prophet Shuaib (Jethro Alaihi’Salaam), whose daughter Safura (Zipporah) married Musa Alaihi’Salaam.  Jethro Alaihi’Salaam was an Ishmaelite, not an Israelite.  Musa Alaihi’Salaam and Aaron were descendents of Ladi (Levi) the son of Yaqub Alaihi’Salaam (Jacob), the son of Isaac, the younger son of Ibraheem Alaihi’Salaam. The Banu Nadhir tribe were also from amongst the descendents of Levi, and the Mother of Believers Lady Safia (r), the wife of the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa’salaam) also descended from it. 

The full truth is, Jethro Alaihi’Salaam was an Ishmaelite.  The Holy Qur’an states, “To the people of Madyan (Madian) (We sent) their brother Shu’aib ” [Qur'an, 7:85], according to this, and even according to the somewhat distorted Holy Bible, the Midianites were Ishmaelites.  See, Genesis 37:25-36 and Judges 8:22,24,26, were the Midianites are referred to as “the Ishmaelites”.

Musa Alaihi’Salaam served Jethro Alaihi’Salaam the Ishmaelite Prophet for a number of years, learnt from him, and was given guardianship of the Ark of the Covenant by him, and the staff of Adam Alaihi’Salaam from it, to go and set the Children of Israel free.  Through the blessings of the Ark, the Children of Israel became free, and the Pharaoh was destroyed.  The Ark stayed with the Children of Israel from this stage in history onwards, and they placed in it the relics “The example of the Muslim way of life” of Musa Alaihi’Salaam and Aaron Alaihi’Salaam as well.

When the Children of Israel began to disobey Allah and kill Prophets, it the Ark of the Covenant “Power of their true faith Islaam” was taken from them and hidden during the era of the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar. The Israelites then asked the Prophet Shamwil (Samuel) to pray that Allah sends them a King, to fight in Allah’s way and take back their lost lands. 

Saul and Dawud

Samuel prayed, and as he was a Prophet, Allah heard his prayer.  Talut (Saul) was appointed as the King of the Children of Israel, and the sign of his Kingdom was that he would be given the Ark of the Covenant (Al-Quran Surah al Baqarah, 246-249).  Saul was a descendent of Ben Yamin (Benjamin), the younger brother of Yusuf (Joseph), the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Ibraheem.  Saul promised to marry his daughter to the person who would kill Goliath, and the Quran states Dawud [alaihi salam], who was a direct descendent of Yahuda (Judah), the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, killed Goliath, and inherited it and the Kingdom from Saul.  Dawud now became the King of the Children of Israel.  The Bible states that Dawud, the greatest King of the Children of Israel also lived amongst the Ishmaelites, see (Psalm 120:5) and his son Sulaiman (alaihi salam); is reported to have said, “I am as dark and lovely as the tents of Kedar” (Song of Sulaiman 1:5). 

Sulaiman and Sheba

King Sulaiman inherited the Ark of the Covenant “Islaam” from Dawud.  He also built the Temple, in Jerusalem, in honor of the Seal of Prophets, Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wa’Salaam, who was to come to it on the night of Ma’raj, and lead all Prophets in prayer… Sulaiman married Sheba (Bilquis), and from her had a son.  Inner Muslim tradition have it that Sulaiman gave the responsibility of “Guarding and preserving Islaam” guarding of the Ark of the Covenant “Imaan in his heart“ to his son from Sheba, who carried it to Ethiopia “Abyssinia” after the death of Sulaiman, which was still kept a secret until sometime. 

Muslim tradition holds the reason the Ark “Faith“ was sent to Ethiopia by Sulaiman was because the delegation of the Seal of Prophets, Muhammad ibn Abdullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa’salaam) was going to come to Ethiopia, and the descendents of Sulaiman and Sheba would surrender it to him through them. 

Negus of Ethiopia: Ashama bin Al-Abjar. The Ark of the Covenant (Imaan “Faith” in their Hearts) is the means of recognising the final Prophet of Allah, this very means is what all of mankind will have to recognise Imam Mohammed Al Mahdi.

Muslim tradition then also holds, the Emperor of Ethiopia Negus, Ashama bin Al-Abjar, who embraced Islaam secretly on the hands of the cousin of the Prophet Muhammad Sallalahu Alaihi Wa’salaam, Ja’far ibn Abi Talib who resembled the Holy Prophet so much in looks, that people often mistook him for the Prophet Muhammad (Sallalahu Alaihi Wa’Salaam). The Ark was surrendered to him by Negus.  The proof is that he embraced Islaam, and that the Prophet Muhammad prayed the funeral prayer over him, and called him pious.

Zulfiqar Sword and Al Mahdi

From it “Ark of the Testimony” the Zulfiqar sword “Sword of Truth” was taken out from it “Ark of the Covenant” and granted to the Rightly Guided spiritual inheritors Chaliphs among the Sahaba of the Prophet Mohammed Sallalahu Alaihi Wa’salaam, The Ark of the Covenant was now kept in the hearts of the new guardians and was granted a distinct status by the Rightly Guided Companions, to whom they pledged their allegiance which continued from their time onwards.  It was through the Will, Power and Might of Allah and their Faith “Imaan” their Ark “Hearts” that the Rightly Guided Caliphs were able to bring Jerusalem into the dominion “Beautiful Kingdom of Islaam”, as well as the entire Middle East, defeating every army who marched against them. Every battle in every form from Jihadul Dawa, Jihadul Nafs and Jihad on the battlefield but as time passed the Ark “Hearts of Muslims” came under danger through the civil wars instigated by the camps of the rebels and that of battles; and so it was due to this that the “Muslim Brotherhood, their Imaan and their Unity” power and knowledge of Arc of the Covenant vanished in and around Antioch. The location and knowledge of it remained a hidden mystery within the hearts and illustrious minds of Muslims seeking for guidance, Its secret location was kept hidden within the Holy Scriptures for an appointed time and only a pure heart of knowledge and understanding would be granted to its secret location which will be naturally known by the Mahdi, whos searches and objectives is solely for the love and pleasure of Allah. Al Mahdi will be from the Ahlul Bayt; the bloodline of the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wa’Salaam, from the descents of Ibraheem Alaihi’Salaam and Ishmael Alaihi’Salaam. It is due to this that the earliest generation of Muslims prayed in every prayer, “O Allah, bless Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wa’Salaam, and the Family of Muhammad, as thou blessed Ibraheem Alaihi’Salaam, and the Family of Ibraheem Alaihi’Salaam”.

Al Suyuti wrote, “The Mahdi will be known by the true Muslim because he will show the way to a hidden thing. He will bring the Ark “Heart” (of the Covenant) “Shahada” to light from a place called Antioch.

The Ark of the Covenant emerges from the Tabariyya Sea  through the efforts “Searchs and Duas” of Imam al-Mahdi at Sham. It will be placed before him at the Sacred House “his heart”, he then releases the Ark of the Covenant at (Bayt al-Muqaddas in Jerusalem). To the descendents of Judah (the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Ibraheem) who sees this (Ark) “his pure Heart and truth spoken by him”, all but a few will embrace Islaam.

Shall I tell thee the nature of the Tabariyya Sea at Sham?

The Tabariyya Sea at Sham is the Ocean of Wisdom and Knowledge to the very liking of that Divine Wisdom and Knowledge given to the Ambiya from Nabi Adam Alaihi”salaam to Musa Alaihi’Salaam, Isa and Mohammed Sallalahu Alaihi Wa’salaam. The Tabariyya Sea at Sham is located in the Heavenly Abode which is sealed and guarded by Angels from those people of ignorant nations who are one that seek not guidance.

Imam Al Mahdi, who is true and rightful heir of the Ark of the Covenant (Assisting Power of Allah contained in the Covenant) will hold its power in his heart by the Will of Allah, for him Ayatollah Al Mahdi as a descendent of both Ibraheem, Ishmael and the Seal of Prophets, Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wa’salaam, After retrieving this sacred Prophetic treasure of his ancestors, he will be coronated guardian of the Kingdom of Heaven in Jerusalem. Imam of the Ummah Al-Mahdi “The rightly guided one and reminder” will be recognized by the Mumineen because he will be like Mohammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wa’salaam in character and in way “Trust Worthy”

Oh sons of Israel (Isra “Servant(s)” El “Allah”) if you are true to that which you claim to believe and believe that you are assured to be the inhabitants of Jannah (Heaven) why not pray thee for death? If ye are true to thy sworn word then why do thee not sacrifice thy firstborn sons? Exodus 34:20 “The firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb, or if you will not redeem it you shall break its neck. All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem. (Sacrifice his life by death) No one shall appear before me empty-handed.” Shall I give thee an answer and the answer is in history, this is but a test from our Lord the Most Holy Almighty Allah.

“O People of the Book! Why reject ye the Signs of Allah, when Allah is Himself witness to all ye do?”
“O ye People of the Book! Why obstruct ye those who believe, from the path of Allah, seeking to make it crooked, while ye were yourselves witnesses (to Allah’s Covenant)? But Allah is not unmindful of all that ye do.”
O ye who believe! If ye listen to a faction among the People of the Book, they would (indeed) render you apostates after ye have believed! And how would ye deny Faith while unto you are rehearsed the Signs of Allah. Whoever holds firmly to Allah will be shown a way that is straight.
O ye who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and die not except in a state of Islaam.
And hold fast, all together, by the Rope which Allah (stretches out for you), and be not divided among yourselves; and remember with gratitude Allah’s favor on you; for ye were enemies and He joined your hearts in love, so that by His Grace, ye became brethren; and ye were on the brink of the pit of Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus doth Allah make His Signs clear to you that ye may be guided.
Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong: They are the ones to attain felicity.
Be not like those who are divided amongst themselves and fall into disputations after receiving Clear Signs: For them is a dreadful penalty.

Oh ye who believe there are no divisions in Islaam; Islaam does not tolerate any of such movements. 

There are No additions or removals made or taken to Islaam. Any addition or removal would have one leave and be out of the fold of Islaam 

We (Muslims) believe in what was sent down to us from our Lord “The Holy Quran”, and we the believers; each one believes in Allah and His Angels, and in His Books and His Messengers; we make no division between any one of His Messengers, ‘We hear, and we obey.  

Allah gave His commandments to all the Prophets and said to them: “Establish the Religion and be not divided therein” (Surah Ash- Shurah 42:13) 

Oh you who believe shall I tell thee the story of the sacrifice in place of thy firstborn sons?

Ibraheem Alaihi’Salaam received the divine command from Allah to offer sacrifice to Allah which was to be the life of his firstborn son but this was only a test from Allah, Ibraheem Alaihi’Salaam being an obedient slave of Allah took his son Ishmael to a place for sacrifice and at the time of sacrifice Allah guided Ibraheem Alaihi’Salaam to sacrifice an animal in the place of his son. This is what we should recognize deep within our hearts for it teaches one to surrender to the will of Allah.

Therefore Exodus 34:20 should be treated in the same manner, the rules of Sacrifice “Qurbani” of the Halaal “Kosher” animal is to be done taking the name of Allah and is for the pleasure of Allah: The meat of the sacrificed animal should be distributed in charity to the poor and needy and from the meat you should take a small portion for yourself.

Oh you who believe if ye are in doubt of that which is the truth and seek a sign or an assurance of truth.

Shall I comfort thee with a worthy word of assurance and an oath?

In the Name of Allah, The Beneficent, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

If ye are in doubt then put ye to test the faith, for clearance of the matter take that which ye believe in and compare it with the basics of belief which is what makes religion “The True Religion”

Oh ye who have faith what divides us all is our Understanding and Acceptance of who the Almighty is so therefore put ye to the ultimate test that which ye believe.

Oh True Believers “People of Scripture” It is a well known fact to all that The Almighty is the Lord of the worlds. The Almighty is the Soul Owner of all High Attributes, Names or Titles.

If ye look at the basics and very simple parts of knowing who the Almighty is ye will easily be able to distinguish between the true religion and the misguided religions. The Almighty is Incomparably Great (Meaning He can not be compared to any of His creation); He is the Most High (There’s nothing Higher) and the Most Merciful (Nothing is more Merciful then Him)… None of the creation can call or title themselves as “Almighty”, “Creator”, “Incomparably Great” etc… everyone will agree to this.

Here’s the test for what you believe in: The Almighty is Incomparably Great, and every person will agree that He can not be compared to any of His creation for e.g. a Rock, the Moon, the Sun, a Tree, a Statue, Nature, us humans, being or having a sex (is neither male nor female), is not a father nor a mother, has no sons or daughters, has no beginning or end, etc…

This distinguishes the right path from the wrong path, now think a bit nicely based on only using logic which religion stands out as the only true one?

You will only find one to be the Only True Religion which is Islaam and Allah of Islaam is the Incomparably Great King and Lord of the worlds Most High, Most Holy and He Alone is the Sole Owner who perfectly holds all the Most High Attributes, Names or Titles and He is the Only One Worthy of Worship and there is none comparable to Him.

I know that there are many people who now feel as if they have lost everything they have ever placed their faith in but my loved brethren you have lost nothing you’ve only gained knowledge and understanding you have Allah and you have Islaam and you have the beautiful Muslim World so Welcome to the Kingdom of Islaam.

The Lamb/ The Sacrifice 

Oh Mankind Islaam is the only true religion in the world. I give thee an assurance and reassurance, additionally I give you more assurance and I hereby swear in the Name of our Lord the Almighty (Allah) that if I have told you a lie and I’m wrong by saying Islaam is the true religion and you believe that I have mislead you to the wrong path I offer myself in your place on the Day of Judgement to be thrown in Hell and request the Almighty to grant you Jannah (Heaven) This is my sacrifice to you. Oh Mankind you have all the right in the world to be a Muslim and all the right to embrace your religion Islaam which means “Total Submission to the will of Allah”

Such a worthy offer before you that not even the sacrifice of death reaches its hight, will you then lay down such profit, such wealth with this a pure trasaction with assurance of Heaven? This is the boast of assurance that there have been told no lie, who else would sacrifice to such an extent unless he knows that he have spoken the truth. “There’s none worthy of Worship but Allah; and Mohammed is His Final Messenger”

Al Mahdi the Imam “Rabbi” of the Israelites and Ishmaelites will unite the progeny of Ibraheem Alaihi’Salaam and will house his ruling “care taking” of the true religion “Islaam” in Jerusalem; He will establish the true Israel “The Muslim State of Israel” in peace by the leave of Allah The Almighty Most High.

Ya Muslimeen prepare yourselves for four Jihad’s

1)     Jihadul Nafs (The Struggle against our inner desires for worldly pleasures): “To prepare ourselves inward with firm Imaan.”

2)     Jihadul Dawah (Our Missionary Struggles)

3)     Jihadul Salaam (Our Struggle for World Peace)

4)     Jihad on the battle field (Physical defense of our Religion only if threatened) if all efforts of peaceful debate and reasoning fails and does not bring forth any freedom then only will this be the last option which is to defend and protect our religion Islaam, our people, our lands and our honor which is solely for the pleasure of Allah.

Verily Allah Knows Best, and He reveals what He wishes to whomever He wills.

He “Allah” grants His favours on those who seeks from Him of The Ocean with divine Wisdom and Knowledge solely for His Pleasure to Praise and Glorify Him to the best that He wishes and Allah reveals unto them to the extent He wishes and witholds from whomever He wills.

(Ark of the Covenant = Heart of Imaan)

Revelation 19:11-21

The Rider on the White Horse “Imam Mahdi”

 ¹¹I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True.

Mohammed: “Faithful/ Trustworthy”

Al-Faarooq: “Distinguisher between truth and falsehood” i.e. “True, Truthful (Rightly Guided)”

With justice he judges and makes war. ¹²His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. ¹³He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood “life”, and his name is the Word of Allah ¹⁴The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. ¹⁵Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword (commanding and undeniable Word “Message”) with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron sceptre “Shariah” . “He crushes the winepress of the fury of the wrath of Allah Almighty. ¹⁶On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
       Imam al Mumineen AND Righteous of those righteous

 ¹⁷And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, “Come, gather together for the great blessings from Allah, ¹⁸so that you may obtain status of kings, generals, and mighty men, of horses and their riders, and the honour of all people, free and slave, small and great.”

 ¹⁹Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army. ²⁰But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulphur. ²¹The rest of them were killed with the sword (Powerful, Undeniable Word) that came out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds satisfied themselves on their homecoming to Islaam “Total Submission to the will of Allah”

Verily you “The Kufaar/ Non-Believers” have changed The Word “Holy Scripture” with a word of your own to suit and seek your own gains and therefore you have been cursed with division amongst yourselves bare witness to the mark of division a sign from your Lord Almighty Allah that you have gathered His anger.

Return to His Path and enter the Covenant/ Testimony of Faith.

Proclaim! The Covenant “Make the Testimony” to enter the true faith Islaam “Total Submission to the will of Allah”

With all thy heart, thy soul and thy mind in complete truth submit to the will of thy Lord.

Qul (Say): “I testify that there is none worthy of Worship but Allah, And I testify that Mohammed is His final Messenger”

Alhamudullalah (Praise be to Allah) Inshallah (Allahwilling) hereafter you are a Muslim (One who submits to the will of Allah)

“Ameen, “La’ila Ha illallah!”

Nothing can stop this declaration of faith from reaching Allah; it is the fastest moving supplication from the lips of mankind to the Almighty, over all prayers it is the first “The Covenant/ Shahadah” La ila He Illallah “There’s none worthy of worship but Allah”; this declaration recited before death is a guarantee to the entrance of Jannah “Heaven”

Revelation 6

 ¹And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.

 ²And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

This is a revalation that Islaam is the Biggest and Largest Religion in the World it The True Religion Dominates the Wolrd. Imam Mahdi will conquer the hearts of men in doing so he conquers every land, every nation and even nature from the skies above to the waters and earth below.

Thy Kingdom Come “The Kingdom of Islaam has Come”, Thy Will be Done “People all over the world are revert to Islaam”, On Earth as in Heaven “Can you not see? Clearly the Muslims are growing in number and therefore Jannah (Heaven) is growing”, Give us this day our daily bread “Allah gave us the Spiritual Sustenance Five Times Daily Prayer (Salaah)” For Thine is the Kingdom Forever and Ever Ameen!

THE MAHDI’S PHYSICAL FEATURES

The radiance of his face shines like day .

There is a color in his face like that of a bright star.

He has black hair.

The Mahdi is Arab in coloring…

He is white, but a brownish white.

The Mahdi’s height is like that of the sons of Israel (Bani Israel).

It is as if the Mahdi were one of the People of Israel.

He is … a majestic individual.

Mahdi will be like an official of the People of Israel (one of their leaders).

His … brow is wide. He will fill Earth with justice and hand out goods in abundance.

Imam Mahdi will wear a covering (cloak) made from wool which has fingers on the edges. (This is reference to all Ambiya “Prophets” wraped in a cloth, clearly this indicates the Ark of the Covenant “Imaan / Faith in their hearts” which they hold within)

Ultimately he will be recognised in his similarity in lifestyle to Nabi Mohammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wa’salaam, over all he will remind people of  Nabi Sallallahu Alahi Wa’salaam when they look at him.

Like two sides of the same coin shall you find.

The Beauty of Islaam

Which Of The Favours From Your Lord Will You Deny?

Allah Says:

“Only those believe in Our Signs who when they (the signs) are recited to them fall down in adoration and celebrate the praises of their Lord nor are they (ever) puffed up with pride.” Q32:15

Allah says: ” Do ye feel secure that He Who is in heaven will not cause you to be swallowed up by the earth when it shakes (as in an earthquake)? Or do ye feel secure that He Who is in Heaven will not send against you a violent tornado (with showers of stones) so that ye shall know how (terrible) was My warning? But indeed men before them rejected (My warning): then how (terrible) was My rejection (of them)?” Q67:16-8. “Such are the Signs of Allah which We rehearse to thee in truth: then in what exposition will they believe after Allah and His Signs? Woe to each sinful liar, who hears the Signs of Allah rehearsed to him yet is obstinate and lofty as if he had not heard them: then announce to him a Penalty Grievous! And when he learns something of Our Signs he takes them in jest: for such there will be a humiliating Penalty.” Q45:6-9

Ya Muslimneen one of the qualities of Mumineen ”true believers” and worshippers of Allah listed in the Holy Qur’an (Q25:63:76) is “… Those who, when they are reminded of the signs of their Lord, fall not deaf and blind thereat”.

 Allah, the Exalted, in His usual way appeals to the intellect of mankind:

“Does not man see that it is We (Allah) Who created Him from sperm? Yet behold! He (stands forth) as an open adversary! And he makes comparisons for us and forgets his own (Origin and) Creation: He says “Who can give life to (dry) bones and decomposed ones (at that)?” Say “He will give them life Who created them for the first time! For He is well-versed in every kind of creation! “The same Who produces for you fire out of the green tree when behold! Ye kindle therewith (your own fires)! “Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like thereof?” Yea indeed! For He is the Creator Supreme of skill and knowledge (infinite)! Verily when He intends a thing His command is “Be” and it is! So glory to Him in Whose Hands is the dominion of all things; and to Him will ye be all brought back.” Q36:77-83.

The 7 Seals

Behold the seals of revalation is unfolded, for it is written that none but one can unfold the seals; he is the Lamb, the seals are the seals over your eyes which can not find the clear message before you nor can you see what is truly written in the Word.

Al- Quran Al-Baqra:

Alif Lam Mim.

This is the Scripture wherin there is no doubt, a guidance unto those who ward off evil.

Who believe in the unseen, and establish worship, and spend of that which We (Allah) have bestowed upon them (In Charity).

And who belive in that which have been revealed unto thee and that which was revealed before thee, and are certain of the Hereafter.

These depend on guidance fromtheir Lord. These are the successful.

As for the disbelievers, weather thou warn them or thou warn them not it is all one for them; the believe not.

Allah hath sealed their hearing and their hearts, and on their eyes is a covering. Theirs will be an awful doom.

And of mankind are some who say: We believe in Allah and the last Day, when they believe not.

And Allah Knows Best!

With love to all for the pleasure of Allah

Wa’salaam, Your Brethren.

 FROM THE OCEAN OF WISDOM & KNOWLEDGE ALSO KNOWN AS “DIVINE GUIDANCE”

Ruach Hakodesh רוח הקודש

In the beginning there was the Word “Message” (Divine Holy Scriptures), And the Word “Message” was with the Almighty Allah, And the Word “Message” is about the Almighty Allah… Make reference to the Scripture that is with you, for all Ambiya (Prophets) are men of the Word and likewise are we a people of the Word (People of the Book) who live by their example. Oh mankind can you not then see the likeness between us? Time never changes, for what we behold with earthly eyes seems to have changed but in reality what is past is still present all the good and all the sin of the past can still be found in these times so why callest thow times have changed to justify a so called modern change, can ye not see that ye seek a direction towards an awful doom, Oh mankind speak thee not the language of Prophets then? Have thine eyes and ears been shut so closed, are ye a people doomed with the wrath of Allah so much that there is no hope for thee? Nay! Allah is Most Merciful Most Kind, He surly forgives those who repent with sincerity, humble ye yourselves before Him and practice patience. Assured can ye be that the seals before thine eyes can be removed so ye may be blessed with the sight to see the Truth in the Book. The Torah, Injeel (Gospels of the Bible), Holy Quran and all that have been revealed to the Prophets of prior times is within the Ark (Heart) of the Mumineen (True Believers) that hold firm with Imaan (Faith) to the Shahada (Covenant/ Testimony of faith) they are the saints among the nations. Be ye in the company of the pious so that the likeness of Mohammed (the Spirit of Truth/ Trustworthiness) may enter thine lives so ye may be of those worthy of being trusted. Yahood have slain their Prophets which brought the wrath of Allah on them, Nay! but among thine kind too find we the similarity to the very sin which caused the wrath of Allah on thine nations, for those before thee have slain many a Khalifa (Chaliph) and therefore the mark of Allah’s wrath is on you, this mark is the division among yourselves. Follow ye the word of man over the Word of Allah? For Allah says “This day I have perfected your religion for you and completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you as religion Al-Islaam (Total Submission to the will of Allah).” Quran 5:3 and further as a reminder I give thee what Allah says:  “Establish the religion and be not divided therein.” Quran 5:13

Please note: the above article, its the Tafseer “Commentary” made by Al-Faarooq and is the full responsibility of the spiritual researching done by him, In addition to this he does not lay claim to being the Mahdi but is merely sharing his findings so that it may help in the search of finding the Mahdi, The Mahdi comes from among the House of Rasullullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa’salaam, Al-Faarooq aka Mohammed Al-Faarooq is posibly not from that family line as his family history is a lost one and can only be traced back for a few years, As the owner thereof “the above article” he declares the Tafseer “Commentary” which is open to the international Ulama for thought, comment and thorough research and review. After reading through the content brought before thee turn to the Holy Scripture in whichever ye may follow by heart and contemplate thereon, verily it will be made clear to thee. We are all human and if we are a people who are true we will surely make a plan to uncover the hidden places, Who said that Imam Mahdi is not mentioned in the Holy Quran when it is reported as per Hadith that Rasullullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa’salaam says Imam Mahdi will have a name to the liking of his, Islaam is an Investigative Religion, it is based on true facts, divine understanding, and proof seeking on all aspects of life the Deen is complete. Things Imam Mahdi will not do is come with another Book the Holy Quran is the completion of Allah’s message “Word” to mankind. The Holy Quran is not only about the past, it’s about the present and the future, time may change in looks but nothing ever changed all of the past can be found in our lives of today be it the good or the bad. The Heart Containing the Holy Quran “Not just by memory” but by love, respect and honor with understanding is a Heart “Ark/Container” that Holds True Imaan “The Covenant/ Faith”

The Bloodline of Al-Faarooq has many roads one from his mother Fatima leading to Canada and Madagascar which leads to the Middle East and surrounds thereof and his father Junain which leads to German decent which is linked to Israel and surrounds thereof, both his direct family lines  split into various other lines connecting to all of mankind which makes him all but a simple and normal very diverse person like any other. He is linked to all tribes and all nations both black and white in all nationalities.

The views expressed in the above article are not those of the United Muslim Nations but the views of the owner of the article Farook Mohammed aka Al-Faarooq childhood nick name Alut.

From Al-Faarooq: ”If I don’t live to see the Mahdi I hope my allegiance to him can be accepted in this time already may it be so Inshallah.  All verses concerning the Ark of the Covenant are allegorical “symbolic” in meaning you will know if you are of true knowledge and understanding, and those who know not are in doubt of that which they claim. In addition to this article I take no claim to being the Mahdi, this is but knowledge shared with you in hope that it will make it easy to find the Imam of the Ummah.”

I tell you the Truth! The Holy Quran gives testimony to that which have been revealed unto thee.

Al-Quran Surah Al-Imran 3:7

“He (Allah) it is Who hath revealed unto thee the Scripture (Al-Quran) wherein are clear revelations. They are the substance of the Book. and others which are allegorical (symbolic). But those in whose hearts is doubt pursue, forsooth, that which is allegorical seeking (to cause) dissension by seeking to explain it. None knoweth its explanation but Allah. And those who are of sound instruction say: We believe therein; the whole is from our Lord; but only men of understanding really heed.

8. Our Lord! Cause not our hearts to stray after Thou hast guided us, and bestow upon us mercy from Thy Sakina (Tranquility, Reality and Presence).

Lo! Thou, only Thou art the Bestower.

9. Our Lord! it is Thou Who gatherest mankind together to a Day of which there is no doubt. Lo! Allah faileth not to keep the tryst.”

 Faarooq Mohammed aka Mohammed AlFaarooq

Surah 3. Al-Imran

In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful

81. When Allah made (His) covenant with the Prophets, (He said): Behold that which I have given you of the Scripture and knowledge. And afterward there will come unto you a messenger, confirming that which ye possess. Ye shall believe in him and ye shah help him. He said: Do ye agree, and will ye take up My burden (which I lay upon you) in this (matter)? They answered: We agree. He said: Then bear ye witness. I will be a witness with you.

82. Then whosoever after this shall turn away: they will be miscreants.

83. Seek they other than the religion of Allah, when unto Him submitteth whosoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly, or unwillingly, and unto Him they will be returned.

84. Say (O Muhammad): We believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and that which was vouchsafed unto Moses and Jesus and the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered.

85. And whoso seeketh as religion other than the Surrender (to Allah) it will not be accepted from him, and he will be a loser in the Hereafter.

86. How shall Allah guide a people who disbelieved after their belief and (after) they bore witness that the messenger is true and after clear proofs (of Allah’s sovereignty) had come unto them. And Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.

87. As for such, their guerdon is that on them rests the curse of Allah and of angels and of men combined.

88. They will abide therein. Their doom will not be lightened, neither will they be reprieved;

89. Save those who afterward repent and do right. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

90. Lo! those who disbelieve after their (profession of) belief, and afterward grow violent in disbelief: their repentance will not be accepted. And such are those who are astray.

91. Lo! those who disbelieve, and die in disbelief, the (whole) earth full of gold would not be accepted from such an one if it were offered as a ransom (for his soul). Theirs will be a painful doom and they will have no helpers.

Al-Faarooq: Like those (warners) of afore time have I been commanded to bring forth unto mankind the eternal covenant (Testimony of Faith “Shahada“) and to repeat the Message (Word of Allah “The Book“) unto the nations so that they may be no longer divided but only men of understanding truly heed only the True Believers are the receivers of His Blessing the Sakina (Shekinah) Tranquility, Presence, Security and Assistance of Allah, O People of The Book this is my exodus unto you from my heart to your heart, Mankind believe for the command is clear and I shall put into the heart the Testimony (Covenant) which comes from Allah. “Ashadu Allah Ilaha Illallah, Wa’Ashhadu Anna Mohammedan Abduhu Wa’Rasulullah” I testify that there’s no other Illah (Deity) but Allah, and I testify that Mohammed is His Final Prophet and Messenger. If ye believe not take ye witness that I am Mushlam (Muslim) and have surrendered to the will of Allah Lord of the Book.

Pour ceux qui serait incompetent en matiere de la RATP (religion de paix de tolerance et d’amour ici) voici une donnee interessante. Selon les imams le monde est divise en maison de l’islam (dar al islam) et maison de la guerre (dar al harb). En gros des endroits comme l’Espagne qui a une epoque ont ete dar al islam doivent etres recuperes et les autres doivent etres conquis. Je sais, c’est subtil…

Toujours est-il que l’excellent LBDD nous informe qu’Amsterdam se trouve a un point de bascule . Le plus drole dans tout ca est que Ahmed Marcouch, qui propose qu’une partie d’Amsterdam deviennent une enclave musulmane et qui a aussi demande a ce que l’islam soit enseigne dans toutes les ecoles, est considere comme un modere connu pour ses appels a l’integration…

Taqqya quand tu nous tiens.

Allah’s warriors have changed the battle plan – they are fighting the slow Jihad.  Like the frog in the pot of water that is slowly being brought to a boil, Westerners do not feel a thing as they slowly accept Sharia - as they move into Dar al-Islam, the House of Submission. 

The cultural jihadists have enjoyed disturbing success. Two events in particular—the 2004 assassination in Amsterdam of Theo van Gogh in retaliation for his film about Islam’s oppression of women, and the global wave of riots, murders, and vandalism that followed a Danish newspaper’s 2005 publication of cartoons satirizing Mohammed—have had a massive ripple effect throughout the West. Motivated variously, and doubtless sometimes simultaneously, by fear, misguided sympathy, and multicultural ideology—which teaches us to belittle our freedoms and to genuflect to non-Western cultures, however repressive—people at every level of Western society, but especially elites, have allowed concerns about what fundamentalist Muslims will feel, think, or do to influence their actions and expressions. These Westerners have begun, in other words, to internalize the strictures of sharia, and thus implicitly to accept the deferential status of dhimmis—infidels living in Muslim societies.

Divisions of the World according to Islam

In Islam, the world is divided into Dar al-Islam, the House of Islam, and Dar al-Harb, the House of War.

Dar al-Islam (دار الإسلام , “House/Abode of Islam”; or Dar as-Salam, “House/Abode of Peace”) refers to those countries where Muslims can practice their religion freely. In other words, wherever the “infidel” has converted or submitted to Islam, or has been eliminated.

Dar al-Harb (دار الحرب , “House of War”) refers to those areas where Muslims do not dominate their neighbors. The non-Muslim inhabitants of the Dar al-Harb are called harbi (حربي), as opposed to dhimmi. A harbi has no rights, not even the right to live. If a harbi wants to enter the territory of Islam (Dar al-Islam) he needs a safe-conduct pass called an aman. Dar al-Harb is territory that has not yet been conquered by Islam.

Dar al-Kufr (دار الكفر, “House of Infidels” or “Domain of Disbelief”) is a term used by Muhammad to refer to the Quraish-dominated society of Mecca between his flight to Medina (the Hijra) and his triumphant return. Sometimes this is used synonymously with Dar al-Harb, since Mohammad said, “Unbelief is one community.” In other words, since “infidels are of one nation,” distinctions between non-Muslims are insignificant in relation to the overriding distinction between Muslim and non-Muslim.

Dar al-Hudna (“House of Calm”) is a land of non-believers currently under a truce that is brought about by a tribute from harbis. When the harbis refuse to pay tribute, hostilities are resumed.

Dar al-’Ahd (دار العهد “House of Truce”, or Dar al-Sulh, “House of Treaty”) was an Ottoman invention used to describe the Caliphate’s relationship with its Christian tributary states, (e.g. Romanian, Serbian, Bosnian, Albanian, and Greek territories, etc, etc, etc,) The concept of Dar al-Ahd was invented as a political expediency, because protracted peace with non-Muslim states, even those under Muslim domination, is contrary to Islamic law. The term is now used to refer to those non-Muslim governments which have armistice agreements with Muslim governments.

Dar al-Dawah (دار الدعوة , “House of Invitation”) describes a part of Dar al-Harb where Islam has recently been introduced. The term first referred to Christian, Jewish and pagan Arabia. Some Muslims now use it to refer to areas of the not-yet Islamic West where large numbers of Muslims presently reide.

Dar al-Amn (دار الأمن , “House of Safety”) is another term that has been used by Western Muslims to describe their residence in not-yet Islamic territory.

Historically the ulemas in the Muslim world (areas that were ruled by Muslim including the ones which did not have numerical majority of Muslims) divided the world into two or three categories. First there was dar-al-Islam or the land of Islam. This consisted of lands which were ruled by Muslims. A lot of people are surprised or even shockingly surprised when they hear that even three hundred years after the initial conquests by the rightly guided caliphs and the Ummayids at most only 15 percent of the population of the new lands had converted to Islam. The point is that the numerical majority did not matter in calling these lands dar-al-Islam. What mattered was that the rule of Islam held sway. The second category was dar-al-hard or the adobe of war. These were the lands which were not part of the Islamic empires. Additionally many ulemas also considered a third category dar-al-sulah or the adobe of accord. These were the lands in which Islam did not held sway but either Muslim rulers had treaties with these lands or Muslims were allowed to live in peace in these lands.

With the exception of the Mongol interlude and the loss of Spain and Sicily there were very few territorial losses by the Muslim empires for more than a thousand years. Thus the two systems of classification were employed for a long time. In case of territorial losses many Muslims migrated to Muslim empires or were forced to convert. One exception was Sicily where Muslims flourished for more than two hundred years after the end of Muslim rule but after two hundred years they were forced to move to Luceria in Italy but were not forced to convert. Luceria could have been an exception to the pattern of forced conversions but eventually the Muslims there were also killed or forceably converted there as well. The coming of Mongols put the ummah in an unprecedented situation because for the first time in its history large parts of the Islamic world were under non-Muslim rule. Some ulemas even advised the Muslims to migrate to ‘Muslim lands.’ From a logistical point of view this was next to impossible as millions of Muslims lived in these lands. The reversal of fortunes did not last for long as the Mongols converted to Islam and the lands were again ruled by Muslims. At the beginning of Western colonialism Muslims were again put in this situation and by this time the population of the world had risen greatly an migration was virtually impossible since by the end of the first world war most of the Islamic world was under non-Muslim rule so there was no where to migrate to even if one thought about migrating. Many ulemas were also of the opinion that Muslims did not have to migrate as long as they can practice their religion.

In the 20th century the situation became even stranger as it became difficult in some Muslim majority countries to practice Islam and easier in some non-Muslim countries to practice Islam. Many ulemas in the Islamic world (now defined as the countries where Muslims have a numerical majority) still held onto the old system of classification even though to many Muslim masses it was clear that the world had changed enough that the old dichotomies do not apply any more. This finally beings us to the topic at hand – the absence of dar-al-Islam vs. dar-al-harb or even dar-al-sulah rhetoric in the Chinese Muslim texts. Especially amongst the Hui Muslims (There are 12 ethnic groups in China which are Muslims, Hui’s are one of them), there was sometimes a tendency of being more Chinese than the Chinese. Thus in canonical scholarly texts by the Hui ulemas one never sees any dar-al-Islam vs. dar-al-harb distinction. They not only considered themselves to be Chinese but the Han Chinese were like their brethren who followed a different creed.

This also has to do with the fact that for the first thousand years the relations between Chinese Muslims and the rest of the community were amicable with almost no restrictions put on the Muslims so that they never felt as being stranger. Geographic isolation also helped. Many of the Muslim from ‘traditional’ Muslim lands who came to China married local women so that their descendants only knew of China as their home. It should also be noted that one of the reasons why many ulemas took the stance that one should migrate from non-Muslim lands is because of not-so-positive experience of many Muslims in some lands bordering the Islamic world. Thus the collective experience of some Muslim minorities became one of the basis of fiqh ruling in this case. However the collective experience of Chinese Muslims was quite different and thus the question of migration or how to live in a non-Muslim land was less relevant. Thus the question of dar-al-Islam vs. dar-al-harb never arose for the Chinese Muslims for more than a thousand years. This example is very relevant for Muslims in the West as most of them come from majority Muslim countries where many ulemas still use the old categories. The experience and scholarship of Chinese Muslims could be a guide for the new Muslim communities. Regarding the dischtomies of East, West, North, South one should heed the following verse from Quran (Suran Al-Baqara, verse 115).

“To Allah belong the east and the West: Whithersoever ye turn, there is the presence of Allah. For Allah is all-Pervading, all-Knowing.”

 Addendum (November 22, 2007):

Let there be confusion I would like to add that one of the motivations for this post was to illustrate that the old dichotomies of Dar-al-Islam and Dar-al-Harb do not apply in the modern world and if we abandon or modify these categories then we as Muslims would not be going against our tradition since we do have a precedent in the case of Chinese Muslim ulemas who did not use these strict separation. Also another point was to illustrate that the origin of this dichotomy was historical circumstances rather than some timeless injunction.

Gemeinsam gegen den

neuen Totalitarismus

1. März 2006

Nachdem die Menschheit Faschismus, Nazismus und Stalinismus glücklich überwunden hat, sieht sie sich nun einer neuen globalen Bedrohung des gleichen totalitären Typus gegenüber, dem Islamismus.

Wir als Schriftsteller, Journalisten und Intellektuelle rufen zum Widerstand gegen diesen religiösen Totalitarismus auf und zum Kampf für Freiheit, Chancengleichheit und säkulare Werte für jeden und überall.

Die jüngsten Ereignisse, die sich in den Monaten nach der Veröffentlichung der so genannten dänischen Mohammed-Karikaturen zutrugen, sie haben uns Bedeutsamkeit und Notwendigkeit des Kampfes für jene universellen Werte wieder einmal deutlich gemacht.

Dieser Kampf wird nicht mit Waffengewalt entschieden werden können, sondern auf geistig‑kultureller Ebene gewonnen oder verloren. Wir erleben in diesen Jahren weder den viel beschworenen ’Zusammenprall der Kulturen’ noch einen etwaigen Gegensatz zwischen ’Orient und Okzident’. Vielmehr erleben wir einen weltweiten Kampf zwischen Rechtsstaat und Gottesstaat: zwischen Demokratie und Theokratie.

Wie alle Totalitarismen, so wird auch der Islamismus von Ängsten und Frustrationen genährt. Dabei stützen sich die Hassprediger gekonnt auf eben diese Emotionen, um ihre halbmilitärischen Gefolgschaften zu ordnen, welchen kaum verhohlen die Zielrichtung vorgegeben wird, die mancherorts bereits errungene Freiheit zu vernichten und die Ungleichheit zu erzwingen. Und wir sagen es laut und deutlich: nichts, nicht einmal die Verzweiflung rechtfertigt die Wahl von Obskurantismus, Totalitarismus und Hass.

Islamismus ist eine reaktionäre Weltanschauung, die Gleichheit, Freiheit und Säkularität tötet, wo immer sie den Ton angeben darf. Ihr Erfolg würde zu einer Gesellschaft der prinzipiellen Ungleichheit und der brutalen Ausbeutung führen, zu einer Gesellschaft, in der die Frauen durch die Männer unterdrückt werden und die Nicht‑Islamisten durch die Islamisten. Um das zu verhindern, kommt es darauf an, unterdrückten oder diskriminierten Menschen weltweit den Weg zu ihren universellen Rechten zugänglich zu machen.

Wir weisen einen jeglichen Kulturrelativismus zurück, der gerne darin besteht, es hinzunehmen, dass Männern oder Frauen aus der muslimischen Kultur im Namen einer ’Rücksichtnahme auf Kulturen und Traditionen’ ihr persönliches Recht auf Gleichheit, auf Freiheit und auf echte Religionsfreiheit vorenthalten wird.

Wir weigern uns, unseren kritischen Geist aus der modischen Sorge heraus zu verleugnen, der so genannten Islamophobie bezichtigt zu werden. Islamophobie, jenes fragwürdige Konzept, das die Kritik des Islams als rückständiges Glaubensgebäude mit der Ausgrenzung seiner gläubigen Individuen bewusst zu verwechseln trachtet.

Wir setzen uns vernehmlich für die weltweite Zugänglichkeit des Rechts auf Meinungsfreiheit ein, damit der Geist kritischen Denkens auf allen Kontinenten wehen kann, um bald jeden Missbrauch und alle Dogmen als solche erkennbar und benennbar zu machen.

Wir richten diesen Aufruf an die Demokraten aller Länder, auf dass das angebrochene Jahrhundert ein Zeitalter der Aufklärung sein möge und keine Epoche des Obskurantismus.
