DO NOT BE SHAKEN by HARDSHIPS
from the book "Don't Be Sad

     Hardship strengthens your heart, atones for your sins, and helps to suppress an inclinatiom towards pride and haughtiness.  You might remember that in times of hardship you abandoned senseless folly and you remembered
Allah. 

When you were afflicted, others extended brotherly compassion to you, and you became the fortunate recipient of supplications of the righteous.  At such times, you wilfully and humbly surrendered yourself to Allah's will and resigned yourself to His decree. 

Affliction begets circumspection and provides the afflicted with an early warning against following the path of evil.  The one upon whom calamity has fallen can display courage with patience and his circumstances, unlike the one who is drunk with wordly pleasures, permit him to solemnly prepare for a meeting with his Lord. 

He is able to pass judgment on this world with an impartial ruling, and thus he will come to know it as something that is not worth pining for.  Other points associated with wisdom and benefits of sometimes facing hardship. though they might escape our comprehension. are definitely present and known to the Lord of all that exists.

Pause to think about Hardships

     Do not be sad, for sadness will weaken your determination and the quality of your worship...

Top US Official Murdered After Arkansas Weapons Test Causes Mass Death
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

A shocking report prepared for Prime Minister Putin by the Foreign Military Intelligence Directorate (GRU) states that one of the United States top experts in biological and chemical weapons was brutally murdered after he threatened to expose a US Military test of poison gas that killed hundreds of thousands of animals in Arkansas this past week.
According to this report, John P. Wheeler III, Special Assistant to the Secretary of the Air Force, Washington, D.C. from 2005-2008, when he became the Special Assistant to the Acting Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Installations, Logistics and Environment, was found brutally murdered and dumped in a landfill, and as we can read as reported by the Fox News Service:
Wheeler’s military career included writing one of the most important manuals on the effectiveness of biological and chemical weapons which led to his beinghired in 2009 as a consultant to the Mitre Corporation, whose aviation system development department, the GRU reports, is at the forefront of creating the computer command and control systems used by the US Air Force in their fleet of aerial spraying planes. [photo 2nd left]

These aerial spraying planes, this report continues, are based at the Little Rock Air Force Base in Arkansas that over the past few months have been involved with ‘test dispersants’ of poisonous gasses in the Afghanistan War Theater using chemical weapons stocks obtained from Iraq and held at the Pine Bluff Arsenal, also located in Arkansas.
Important to note about the Pine Bluff Arsenal, which calls itself “America’s Arsenal”, is that it is one of the World’s most specialized munitions and chemical-biological defense products and services bases which Russia had previously accused of not fully reporting the chemical agents removed from Iraq, between 2003 and 2008, and taken to the US for testing and subsequent destruction.
According to this report, the US relocated from Iraq to the Pine Bluff Arsenal an estimated 63,000 metric tonnes of the poisonous gas Phosgene that is described as one of the most feared chemical weapons ever used due to its ability to literally cause the lungs and respiratory system to explode.
Nearly immediately after Russia accused the US this past summer of not fully destroying Iraq’s Phosgene poisonous gas stockpile the Pine Bluff Arsenal began an ‘accelerated’ disposal programme injecting it deep into the ground in central Arkansas, but which, unfortunately, since this past September, hascaused over 500 minor earthquakes to occur raising the concerns of their local population. 
More frightening, however, is the claim made in this report that the Americans have also begun shipping ‘massive quantities’ of Iraq’s Phosgene poisonous gas stocks to Afghanistan where when used they will be able to say they had nothing to do with it, and believe no one will be able to prove it either.

Islam, Iman, Ihsan 

"One day we were sitting in the company of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, when there appeared before us a man dressed in pure white clothes, his hair extraordinarily black. There were no signs of travel on him. None of us recognized him. He sat with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Resting his knees against his and the palms of his hands on his thighs, he said, 'O Muhammad, tell me about Islam'.

The Messenger of Allah replied, 'Islam is to testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish the prayer, pay the zakat, observe the fast of Ramadan, and perform the pilgrimage to the House if you are able to do so'.
He said, 'You have spoken the truth,' and we were amazed at him asking and then verifying that he had spoken the truth. He then said, 'Inform me about Iman'.

He replied, 'It is to believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and in the divine destiny of both good and evil'.
He said, 'You have spoken the truth'.
He then said, 'Tell me about Ihsan'.
He said, 'It is to worship Allah as if you see Him, for though you do not see Him, surely He sees you'.

He then said, 'Inform me about the Hour'.
He replied, 'The one who is asked knows no more than the one who is asking'.
He said, 'Tell me some of its signs'.
He said, 'That the slave-girl will give birth to her mistress, and barefoot, destitute shepherds will compete with one another in the building of magnificent buildings'.

Then he (the questioner) went on his way but I stayed with him (the Prophet) for a long while.
He said to me, 'Umar, do you know who this questioner was?'
I replied, 'Allah and His Messenger know best'.
He said, 'He was Gabriel. He came to instruct you in your religion'.''

Zionism and The Holy Sanctuary of Muslims

Dome of the Rock, also known as Temple Mount or Haram al-Sharif, in Jerusalem. (Jewish source)
Wikepidia: Groups such as the Temple Mount and Eretz Yisrael Faithful Movement wish to relocate the Dome to Mecca and replace it with a Third Temple. Since Muslim religious foundations own the Dome and consider it particularly sacred such actions would inevitably lead to violence. Many Israelis are ambivalent about the movement's wishes. Some religious Jews, following a rabbinic dictum, feel that the Temple should only be rebuilt in the messianic era, and that it would be presumptuous of people to force God's hand. However, some Evangelical Christians consider this a prerequisite to Armageddon and the Second Coming. This view is steeped in the belief that there will be a prophetic rebuilding of the Temple in place of the Dome of the Rock.

In a historically unprecedented development, a famous Turkish Muslim leader and a prominent group of Israeli rabbis have joined together on one of their declared goals, to rebuild the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. Adnan Oktar, who uses the pen name of Harun Yahya, is a controversial but highly influential Muslim intellectual and author with over 65 million of his books in circulation worldwide. Oktar recently met with three representatives from the re-established Jewish Sanhedrin, a group of 71 Orthodox rabbis and scholars from Israel, to discuss how religious Muslims, Jews and Christians can work together.

The vision of God's Holy Mountain may not be all that far off. The Obama administration has also suggested that Jerusalem could become an international city that would be shared by peoples from all three Abrahamic faiths.

The Temple Mount
The religious Jews still practice ancient Biblical customs and laws. These often clash in attitude with the non-religious Jews relative to the rebuilding of the Temple. Some say that the Third Temple cannot be built until the Messiah comes. Others say, the Temple must be built now in preparation for His coming. Some regard the actual site of the rock to be imperative to building the Third Temple, while others believe it may be built on the northern end of the Temple Mount without disturbing the Mosque which is now over the rock. The rock is where Abraham sacrificed Isaac in type and the rock where David sacrificed at the threshing floor. David designated this site for the House of the Lord, bought the property ,and gave it to Solomon with the pattern and instructions for building the first Temple


The Online Guide to Al-Haram al-Sharif in Jerusalem

AT THE HEART OF JERUSALEM is the Noble Sanctuary, Al-Haram al-Sharif, enclosing over 35 acres of fountains, gardens, buildings and domes. At its southernmost end is Al-Aqsa Mosque and at its centre the celebrated Dome of the Rock. The entire area is regarded as a mosque and comprises nearly one sixth of the walled city of Jerusalem.


The first qibla, or direction of prayer, revealed to the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, was towards Jerusalem. Significantly, it was Al-Masjid al-Aqsa in Jerusalem that was the destination of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, on the famous Night Journey referred to in the Qur'an and hadith. It was here that Muhammad led the prophets in prayer and it was from here that he ascended through the heavens visiting the prophets again on his way to the sidrat al-muntaha, the Lote Tree of the Furthest Limit, and his encounter with his Lord.

Say: We believe in God 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 Moses and Jesus received,
and that which the prophets received
from their Lord. We make no
distinction between any of them,
and unto Him we have surrendered.

The word "Zionism" has several different meanings:

1. An ideology - Zionist ideology holds that the Jews are a people or nation like any other, and should gather together in a single homeland. Zionism was self-consciously the Jewish analogue of Italian and German national liberation movements of the nineteenth century. The term "Zionism" was apparently coined in 1891 by the Austrian publicist Nathan Birnbaum, to describe the new ideology, but it was used retroactively to describe earlier efforts and ideas to return the Jews to their homeland for whatever reasons, and it is applied to Evangelical Christians who want people of the Jewish religion to return to Israel in order to hasten the second coming. "Christian Zionism" is also used to describe any Christian support for Israel. 

2. A descriptive term -  The term "Zionism" was apparently coined in 1891 by the Austrian publicist Nathan Birnbaum, to describe the new ideology.  It is also used to describe anyone who believes Jews should return to their ancient homeland.

3. A political movement - The Zionist movement was founded by Theodor Herzl in 1897, incorporating the ideas of early thinkers as well as the organization built by Hovevei Tziyon ("lovers of Zion"). 

"Zionism" derives its name from "Zion," (pronounced "Tzyion" in Hebrew) a hill in Jerusalem. The word means "marker" or commemoration. "Shivath Tzion" is one of the traditional terms for the return of Jewish exiles.  "Zionism" is not a monolithic ideological movement. It includes, for example, socialist Zionists such as Ber Borochov, religious Zionists such as rabbi Kook, revisionist nationalists such as Jabotinsky and cultural Zionists exemplified by Asher Ginsberg (Achad Haam).

Zionist ideas evolved over time and were influenced by circumstances as well as by social and cultural movements popular in Europe at different times, including socialism, nationalism and colonialism, and assumed different "flavors" depending on the country of origin of the thinkers and prevalent contemporary intellectual currents.  Accordingly, no single person, publication, quote or pronouncement should be taken as embodying "official"  Zionist ideology.

Talismans and Islamic Ruhaniya

 Before we move into White Magic Tradition widespread amongst Sufis and occultists in the Islamic world known as Ruhaniya (lit. spirituality, but denoting white magic as opposed to black magic or sorcery, which is properly sihr). 
Adding to this discussion we first need to define some terms and introduce some theorems , this topic will have to be presented in 3 parts, Inshallah.
Prayer (with Khushoo), fasting, dua, thikr, (Umrah and Hajj), following the Sunnah,
and reading the Qur'an in Arabic, writing it down on various materials and more, let's explore some possibilities in doing all these things:
Some information from other traditions: 
A vortex (plural: vortices) is a spinning, often turbulent, flow of fluid. Any spiral motion with closed streamlines is vortex flow

Why Is Pittsburgh So Central In Prophesies And Evolutionary Shifts?

Our Pittsburgh history confirms that the Point Park area, where our three rivers converge, was a sacred site for tribal rituals of the Native Americans who inhabited this region. All indigenous cultures recognize the sacred power of any geographical area where three rivers merge. Our area is even more unique with the fourth, underground river (more accurately defined as an aquifer), that feeds the fountain, and empties into the Ohio River. The four rivers carry special significance regarding our area’s surprising connection to the origins of the Maya themselves as well as the Mayan 2012 prophesies.

Recent archaeological studies conducted through the University of Pittsburgh (Adovasio, The First Americans) have confirmed that the Western Pennsylvania area of the Meadow croft Rock shelter near Greater Pittsburgh is the area where the first Americans established themselves in permanent settlement over a 16,000-year period. These first Americans dated back to 15,000-19,000 B.C.E.

Tracking the migration of what appears to be their cultural footprints of sacred mound technology along the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers into the Yucatan, one witnesses the sacred mounds evolving into the mathematically sophisticated step-pyramids typical of the Maya. This evidence leads to an interesting conclusion. It appears that these first Americans, established in our Western Pennsylvania region, were the predecessors of the ancient Maya. If this conclusion is valid, this would link our Pittsburgh area with the Maya historically.

Returning to the significance of  Pittsburgh’s converging rivers, several visionaries, healers, a Himalayan holy man, and the Dalai Lama himself have all confirmed that the Point where the rivers converge is indeed a sacred portal. Several of them have confirmed that this portal, or gateway, will soon be activated to bring forth pure universal light for our planet’s transformation.      






[0002] A human being is a hyperspace energy being living in a physical container or body that is comprised of 67% water. The hyperspace energy being receives energy from our dimension through seven vortexes that run the length of the body. Each vortex connects to a separate hyperspace dimension having its own particular frequency. This arrangement allows for the development of seven modular energy components corresponding to the mind, spiritual eye, voice, body, abdomen, plasma energy ball (battery), and ground connection
CROWN CHAKRA- the top vortex supplies energy to the mind and provides a channel of communications to other entities in the universe.  This channel has been tested up to 100,000 light years which is the diameter of this galaxy. 
Color is absorbed by the eyes, skin and skull and our Electro-magnetic field/aura. 
The energy of color can have an affect upon us on all levels, that is to say, physical, spiritual and emotional. Every cell in the body needs light energy - thus color energy has widespread influence on the whole body.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Talisman (from Arabic طلاسم Tillman, ultimately from Greek telesma or from the Greek word "telein" which means "to initiate into the mysteries") is an amulet or other object considered to possess supernatural or magical powers.

The supernatural or supranatural (Latin: super, supra "above" + natura "nature") is anything above or beyond what one holds to be natural or exists outside natural law and the observable universe.[1] Science limits its explanations for phenomena to natural explanations, a process known as methodological naturalism, and cannot consider supernatural explanations, as they cannot be investigated empirically.

Those who hold mystical or theistic beliefs may have no conception of supernatural phenomena, but might perceive the scientist's natural laws, on their own, as being subnatural.[citation needed] To explain something using natural causes and excluding supernatural causes is to naturalize it.[2] To explain something as resulting from supernatural causes is to supernaturalize it.[3]

Adherents to supernatural beliefs hold that such occurrences exist just as surely as does the natural world. Opponents argue that there are natural, scientific explanations for what they often perceive as the supernatural

Indistinct from nature: From this perspective, some events occur according to physical lawsangels and spirits generally think that they are naturally present in the cosmos. Some religious people also believe that all things that humans see as natural act in a systematic fashion only because God wills it so, and that natural laws are an extension of divine will.

Magic is the claimed art of altering things either by supernatural means or through knowledge of occult natural laws unknown to science  Magical rituals are the precisely defined actions (including speech) used to work magic 

Islamic Terms  

1) Kimiya (alchemy), 2) Limiya (talismanic magic), 3) Himiya (subjugation of souls), 4) Simiya (letter magic/producing visions) and 5) Rimiya (conjuration). Note that the first letters of the names of these five sciences when put together spell the Arabic phrase Kulluhu Sirr (all of it is a Mystery/Secret).

 In the Islamic world such practices are either frowned upon or outright persecuted. Iran currently seems to be the only exception to this rule, but in Sa'udi Arabia and throughout much of the Gulf kingdoms the practice of  ruhaniya is outright prosecuted by law and punishable in some cases even by death, esp. Sa'udi Arabia. This does not mean, however, that there aren't presently any practicing ruhani maguses in this part of the world. It means that they are forced to practice in secret, dissimulate and do their Work largely underground.

To be continued InshaAllah...

Pagan Holidays

     What exactly is being celebrated each year of the Gregorian calender when the new year arrives? Do people know or even care? I heard weapons of all kinds being fired, hand guns, shotguns and even automatic weapons in a random display of wanton celebration for a day many celebrate out of custom or tradition.  Following in the footsteps of those who went before them!

     I guess like Christmas and Halloween, nobody actually cares what these holidays actually represent and the history associated with it's rituals. Today people argue that these holidays are innocent celebrations that are fun for family and children? Well let's do a little research and find out weather these assumptions are true. At first glance it would seem only ones intentions are liable when performing rituals in innocence, so if that is true we should be able to find the evidence for this, right?

What is a Pagan Ritual?
A Religious or Pagan Ritual is anything that focuses your spiritual energy. A church service is a ritual, so is a wedding, or a funeral, or a Hopi Sun Dance. Humans have created rituals since the beginning of time. Ritual is the way humans express their connection with divinity and each other!

Most modern day celebrations have their roots in Pagan seasonal celebrations.
The Pagan seasonal cycle is often called the Wheel of the Year. Almost all Pagans celebrate a cycle of eight festivals, which are spaced every six or seven weeks through the year and divide the wheel into eight segments. Wheel with eight segments representing the subdivision of the year
Four of the festivals have Celtic origins and are known by their Celtic names, Imbolc, Beltane, Lughnasadh and Samhain. Wikipedia :

Many of us in the field of comparative religion and mythology may never have guessed we would see the day when official organizations such as the police in Great Britain recognized the validity of Pagan celebrations that have their roots in antiquity.

Pagans — including druids, witches and shamans — will have to take the days as holiday days, but each day is given the same respect as Christmas for Christians, Ramadan for Muslims and Passover for Jews.
Pagan cops are also allowed to swear upon their own religion in court now, pledging to tell the truth not before God but by what 'they hold sacred'.


     What actually happens when we participate in pagan ritual is, we give that ritual spiritual power to rise up against the divine order and this has always been the sole purpose of Satan.  Ritual is never innocent, Allah warns us about following blindly and doing things just because we found our fathers doing it.  We give power to blasphemy and elevate falsehood in celebrating these false Holidays, Christmas, Halloween, News Years, May Day, Valentine's day , Easter ect., these holidays should NEVER be observed by any;
"PRACTICING MUSLIM!"

   Muslims have 2 Holidays or Eids, the rituals and celebrations were handed down to us by our Prophet Muhammad (saws), the last Messenger sent to all of mankind and Jinn. 
We thank Allah for His favor and honoring us with guidance through Islam. We follow the path that leads to our Lord and it is a straight path in the foot steps of one who has been promised Jennah, are we going to take a chance by following another path that might lead to the fire?  Ritual is never innocent!
