IF YOU DISOBEY ALLAH Or Turn Away, You'll Be Replaced!

 

Are We Being Replaced?


If You Disobey Allah

Or Turn Away,

You’ll Be Replaced!

(M. Javed Naseem)

 


Allah the Almighty, the Supreme Creator, created humans to glorify Him, worship Him, obey Him, thank Him and live on the planet Earth as per the rules prescribed by Him through the Scriptures. He also made it very clear that Satan (the Devil) was the No.1 enemy of humans. Allah forbade us (humans) to follow the footsteps of the Devil, and spread corruption in the world. He also warned us of severe punishment (like Hellfire) if we disobeyed Him and spread corruption through our evil deeds. He gave us advance warnings.

Now, if we look at the world today, we see only evil and corruption all over. Only a very small minority of people obey Allah and live the righteous life. The Devil rules us because we allow him to do that. If we honestly and sincerely obey the Almighty, the Devil and his friends would be defeated. But this is not happening because of our hypocrisy and dishonesty. The temporary glitter of the fake gold (this world) has mesmerized us. We are chasing the material world at the cost of our Hereafter. And we don’t seem to care about the results. Allah questions our intelligence:

Have they not seen how many generations We

destroyed before them which We had established

upon the earth as We have not established you?

And We sent [rain from] the sky upon them in

showers and made rivers flow beneath them; then

We destroyed them for their sins and brought

forth after them a generation of others.”

(al-Quran 6:6)

The Almighty God destroyed many a nation in the past history that rebelled against Him, disobeyed His Commands and promoted evil-living or corruption. We were supposed to learn our lesson from the stories of those earlier nations but we seem not to care. It is obvious that if we don’t care and mend our ways, our fate would be similar to those nations passed before us. The Laws of Allah don’t change and His promise is true. We are just fooling ourselves.

We have abandoned Allah and the teachings of the Prophets and Messengers of Allah do not interest us any more. Our lives are shallow and our characters are dubious. We have become empty shells but we are trying our best to paint those shells with attractive colors like Easter eggs. That fools everybody. We prefer to be cool, hip and mod instead of being righteous and pious. A serious look at the Muslim world tells us that there’s bloodshed, death & destruction, turmoils, social, economic and political problems in every Muslim country. Its leaders are dishonest, corrupt and of shady characters who are ruling people with lies, deception and betrayal. But where those corrupt leaders come from? From the corrupt and dishonest nation! Simple as that!

When we leave God, keep Faith out of our daily lives, we become herds of animals and cattle driven only by stronger animals and cattle, even by wolves. There’s one valid excuse though – the Zionist Agenda. But that agenda is more like a means of punishment. The real reason is hypocrisy, ignorance and corruption among Muslims. With practically no faith and no conviction, you can’t go too far on the road to success. Here’s a warning from Allah:

*********************************************

O you who believe! Whoever from among you turns

back from his religion (Islam), Allah will bring a people

whom He will love and they will love Him; humble

towards the believers, stern towards the disbelievers,

fighting in the Way of Allah, and never afraid of the

blame of the critics. That is the Grace of Allah which

He bestows on whom He wills. And Allah is All-

Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knower.”

(al-Quran 5:54)

*********************************************

As believers, we have made covenant with Allah that we will worship only Him, obey Him, seek help from Him and live in this world by the rules prescribed by Him. But most of the time, we break that covenant. We disobey Him, we ignore Him and we disregard all His warnings of punishment. That’s really stubborn and stupid on our part. Allah does not need us but we need Allah in our lives all the times. We simply cannot survive without Him. He is our sole Provider, our Cherisher and Protector in every way, always and forever! Therefore, it is only just and fair that we pay our due and obey His Commands.

 


The Bible says:

  1. Jesus replied, ‘Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching.'” (John 14:23)

  2. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.” (1 John 2:17)

  3. Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” (Matthew 7:24)

  4. Whoever heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray.” (Proverbs 10:17)

'FOLLOW THE REVELATION!' Earlier nations were destroyed for their sins.

 

Our Lord Commands:

"Follow The Revelation!"

Earlier nations and towns

were destroyed for their sins

and disobedience!

(M. Javed Naseem)



The Quran is the last Reminder to the mankind from the Supreme Creator, the Almighty Allah. If we ignore His signs and the Reminder, we will be doomed not only in this world but also in the Hereafter. The fate of the earlier nations is the proof scattered all over the world; and that invites those who believe in God to reflect and ponder upon their existence.

Every Scripture is a reminder from the Creator of the universe; and the Quran is the last reminder. Allah, the Most Merciful, sends mankind His Messengers and Prophets with reminders (scriptures), containing guidance as well as warnings so that we don’t go astray. If people ignore those warnings and revolt against the Scriptures and the Messengers, they are punished and replaced. Muslims are the last replacement nation; the Quran is the last revelation (Scripture/Book); and Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) was the last Messenger of God.

Here are the first 10 verses of Surah al-Araaf (Chapter 7) of the Holy Quran. The Almighty tells us:

(It is) a Scripture that is revealed unto you

(O Muhammad); so let there be no heaviness in

your heart on that account – that you may warn

thereby; and (it is) a Reminder unto believers.”

(al-Quran 7:2)

That revelation is a Scripture (the Quran) which has been sent down to the mankind to remind them to be God-conscious and be warned in case they disregard God’s signs and commands. Allah, the Almighty, reminds us every day, in every phase of our journey and in every sphere of life that He is running the show; He is the Master of Ceremony and He is the Supreme Controller. Whatever is in the heavens, on earth and in-between, belongs to Him; and to Him belongs the sovereignty of the universe. He has no partners and there is nobody else who could save us from any disaster, any catastrophe or death. There is no king or president or premier that was appointed as God's deputy on this earth. Humans have rights and obligations; and nobody has the right to enslave them. 

Follow (O men!) the revelation given unto

you from your Lord; and follow not, as friends

or protectors, other than Him! Little it is

you remember of admonition.”

(al-Quran 7:3)

Earlier nations were punished and destroyed for their disobedience to Allah’s Commands; for their revolt against the Scriptures and the Prophets/Messengers; and for their sinful ways of life that defied all guiding rules and regulations (or God’s laws). They were destroyed along with their dwellings and towns. Today we see their remains and flock as tourists at the ancient ruins. But all ruins, all historical sites and all ancient monuments deliver the same message: Follow the Scriptures, Obey your Creator and never revolt against the Divine Commands! Allah commands us to stand up for justice and peace and become voice of the voiceless. We should promote good and forbid evil.

Today we see death and destruction, bloodshed, wars, floods, earthquakes and wild fires all over the world. We pray for peace and tranquility but face only chaos. It’s all due to our bad choices in life. We are constantly disobeying the Lord Creator; constantly revolting against the Scriptures and constantly living sinful life without any regard to the Commands of Allah. Obviously, our Lord Creator is not pleased with us, hence the punishment and suffering.

Apart from that, we have abandoned our social values and have no empathy. Our brethren in other countries are being killed or invaded by evil forces and oppressed but we don’t care. We don’t care because it is not happening to us, our families and children. We have lost compassion and love; and with that the sense of justice and decency. The world has become a jungle with “might is right” as the common law. We have lost touch of humanity.


Allah tells us in the Quran that justice will be delivered – every good deed will earn good rewards and every bad/evil deed will be punished. Those in the corridors of power today, are following the Devil’s plot. They don’t want to hear about Allah, God, the Scriptures or the Quran. They are lost in power and wealth. They’ll come to their senses after losing that power. And it’s going to happen soon – maybe very soon!

The balance that day will be true (to nicety):

Those whose scale (of good deeds) will be

heavy, will prosper.”

(al-Quran 7:8)


“Those whose scale will be light, will be their

souls in perdition, for that they wrongfully

treated Our signs.”

(al-Quran 7:9)

MUNAFIQ MUSLIM LEADERS Won't Take Any Action To Stop Genocide

 

Munafiq Muslim Leaders

Won’t Take Any Action

To Stop Genocide In Palestine


They are waiting for Israel

to finish the job in Gaza

(M. Javed Naseem)

 


When they are told: ‘Do not spread corruption in

the land,’ they reply, ‘We are only peace-makers.’

Indeed, it is they who are the corruptors

but they fail to perceive it.”

(al-Quran 2:11-12)

Bravo to Yemen, a poor and small country compared to others rich and powerful Arab/Muslim countries, that stood up to the Western/Israeli tyranny and blocked their shipping route to cut the supply-line. They suffered huge losses as a result of the US-UK bombing in retaliation, but they delivered the message: ‘We’ll fight the oppression and injustice in Palestine, no matter what!’ No other Arab/Muslim country had the guts to do that.

Every time Israel plays its usual game of death & destruction in Palestine to systematically pursue the ethnic cleansing (genocide) of the Palestinians, its Western allies rush into action. Since the Zionists are controlling the leaders of countries like the US, UK, Australia, Germany and France, they send passionate messages of support to the apartheid regime. The biased media amplifies the racist narratives that justify Israel’s crimes against humanity, and doing their best to distort the fact portraying Israel as the victim and not the oppressor or aggressor. Billions of dollars’ worth of emergency aid gets rushed through parliaments to assist the Israeli army in its genocide.

***************************************

2023 taught everyone around the world that the

United States is the most corrupt nation on the

planet, as its financial system is built on Jeffrey

Epstein’s banking system which is empowered

and leveraged by child-sex trafficking.”

***************************************

On the other side, the coward and inept Arab/Muslim leaders only talk and patiently wait for Israel to finish its genocidal campaign in Gaza. While all this support is given to Israel, governments of the predominantly Arab and Muslim states sit in their comfort zones watching. Bodies like Arab League and the OIC do nothing, as usual, proving they are good for nothing. They only hold meetings, eat, drink, propose another conference, and go home.

Palestinians and their supporters rage against these pathetic meetings and conferences. The fiery rhetoric heard at such events is never followed by any real action, either in terms of practical solidarity with the Palestinian people or in pressuring the West to stop the atrocities. It’s not as if the Middle East can’t hold anything over Israel and its imperial allies. Arab and Muslim countries control the bulk of the world’s known oil reserves; Saudi Arabia and Iraq alone control more than 21 percent of daily oil exports. This gives these countries enormous leverage.

But it’s not just oil. The Suez Canal, owned and operated by the Egyptian government, is vital to global trade. According to an estimate, the value of goods transported through the canal is about US$1 trillion a year, which represents about 30 percent of global shipping trade. When it was cut off for just six days due to an accident in 2021, the cost to the world economy was an estimated $9.6 billion a day.

So why don’t Arab and Muslim leaders actually use any of this power? The answer is: Because they don’t want to. On the contrary, they are helping Israel with their investments, offering them safe and secure overland transportation of goods/supplies via UAE, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Those puppets want to prove to their masters (US-UK-Israel – the Evil Empire) that they are their faithful servants. In return, the Evil Empire keeps those inept and selfish leaders in power. Muslims call such traitors ‘Munafiqeen’ or hypocrites. The Quran says:

The hypocrites, men and women, (have an

understanding) with each other: They enjoin evil, and

forbid what is just, and are close with their hands.

They have forgotten Allah; so He has forgotten them.

Verily the hypocrites are rebellious and perverse.”

(al-Quran 9:67)

Allah has promised the hypocrites men and women,

and the rejecters of Faith, the fire of Hell. Therein shall

they dwell. Sufficient is it for them. For them is the

curse of Allah, and an enduring punishment.”

(al-Quran 9:68)

And this deplorable situation is not going to change unless and until some natural disaster or divine intervention occurs.

The Health Impact News recently disclosed some ‘inconvenient’ truths that do not fit the narrative of the modern day corrupt mass media. Unfortunately, the so-called ‘alternative’ media is proving itself useless too as it follows the same narrative.

The inconvenient truth

(From Health Impact News)

The inconvenient truths are the truths that challenge the current political narrative of our day stating that the evil axis of enemy nations that are hell bent on destroying the United States and threatening our “national security” are Russia, China, and Iran.

Did you know that all of these “terrorist” nations were strong allies of the United States at the end of World War II?

And is there any real evidence today that these former friends and allies of the United States are today truly our enemies and a threat to our “national security”?


They are actual photos (you can find them on Wikipedia and other places) that were shot both in the same month, in November of 1943, in the latter stages of World War II.

Both the Soviet Union, under Stalin, and China, under Chiang Kai-shek, were allies with the UK and the USA in 1943

The fact that one meeting happened in Tehran, Iran, the leader of the Shia division of Islam, and that the other one happened in Cairo, Egypt, the then leader of Sunni Islam (until oil was discovered later in the deserts of the Bedouin nomads of the Saud family), clearly shows how today’s “enemies” of the U.S. were not always so, but all worked together for a common purpose. And that stated purpose, at least the one that was fed to the public through the emerging mass media out of Hollywood which was controlled by military intelligence which became the CIA, was to fight Hitler and Nazism in Germany.

After the Allies defeated Hitler and Japan, the “Big Four” main allies, the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, and China, together formed the United Nations led by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. This organization replaced the “League of Nations.”

These “Big Four” then formed the “Security Council” of the United Nations to allegedly resolve future world conflicts.

The cost for China and the Soviet Union to join the allies in World War II was very high, however. While most of us in the U.S. have only been taught the number of Jews and others who were killed in Germany during WW II, which is estimated to be close to 8 million, the Soviet Union and China lost far more people, with an estimated 24 million killed in the Soviet Union, and 19.5 million lost in China. (Source.)

With World War II now over, the industrial production of weapons needed a new enemy to keep the money flowing into the military industrial complex, and that new enemy quickly became “Communism,” which then fueled the “Cold War” period.

Of course as the leader now of the new “Free World”, the United States extended that “freedom” to Iran by overthrowing their government in 1953 and replacing it with a new one through the CIA.

This fact in history is not even a conspiracy theory, as it is widely admitted. This is what Wikipedia says:

In 1953, the government of prime minister Mohammed Mossadeq was overthrown in a coup organized by the CIA and MI6. Many liberal Iranians believe that the coup and the subsequent U.S. support for the shah proved largely responsible for his arbitrary rule, which led to the “deeply anti-American character” of the 1979 revolution.

One result of the 1953 coup was that the U.S. took about 40% of Britain’s share of Iranian oil, as part of the wider transition from British to American dominance in the region and worldwide.

The Islamic Revolution in 1979 changed the friendly relationship Iran had with the U.S. for many years, as the pro-American Shah was replaced with the (allegedly) anti-American Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

But that did not stop the U.S. from continuing to use Iran for their own purposes, as Americans found out under the Reagan presidency during the Iran-Contra scandal which funneled U.S. funding to purchase weapons in Iran, even though there was an arms embargo against Iran at the time, and send those weapons to the anti-Sandinista rebel group in Nicaragua.

Could the same thing be happening today? Is the U.S. still working with Iran even though there are embargoes and sanctions against them? See:

Iran transported $2.8bn worth of oil in 2023 under Washington’s nose

How Obama Secretly Gave Iran Access To Billions Of Dollars — And Enabled Terrorism

So now we probably know why Iran and their proxy groups have done nothing to save the genocide of the Palestinian people. They work with their oppressors, Israel and the United States. So do almost all other nations of the world.

2023 taught everyone around the world that the United States is the most corrupt nation on the planet, as its financial system is built on Jeffrey Epstein’s banking system which is empowered and leveraged by child sex trafficking.

The real enemy of the people, both in the U.S. and around the world, is the U.S. Government and all their agencies used by the Billionaires on Wall Street and Silicon Valley, especially the CIA.

Their first plan of attack against humanity in this current World War 3 campaign was the war against the “unseen enemy” that started in 2020 with Trump’s Operation Warp Speed, and the resulting deaths from medical protocols put into place to fight this fake “virus”, especially the COVID injections.

YOUR CONDUCT & MANNERS Should Reflect Teachings of Islam

 

Your Conduct & Manners

Should Reflect Teachings

Of Islam

 

(M. Javed Naseem)



Tell my servants to treat each other the best

possible way, for Satan does sow dissensions among

them, since Satan is to man an avowed enemy.”

(al-Quran 17:53)

The best ‘Daawah’ is done by your own conduct and your own manners. You are a model and ambassador of Islam. Invite people to Islam with your good conduct and manners. If people dislike you, don’t give them a reason to dislike Islam! You are not perfect but Islam is. Islam was chosen for you by your Almighty Creator as a way of life so that you could benefit from Allah’s mercy, blessings and forgiveness. Without Allah’s mercy and guidance you would be lost; but with His blessing comes all the success.

All Prophets and Messengers of Allah were the role-models of Islam. They practiced what Allah prescribed for mankind to show us that it was possible to live a simple life as per the tenets of Islam, with humility, good conduct, justice, compassion and pleasing manners. In Islam it is called “Akhlaq”. This Arabic term refers to the practice of virtue, morality and good ethics. Akhlaq is the plural for the word ‘Khulq’ which means disposition. Your conduct is your introduction. Here’s a glimpse of Islamic code of conduct!


Be just, fair & honest!

Be just, fair and honest in your dealings! Those are the big virtues of your character that you got from the Divine. When you handle affairs, don’t worry about others, even your own family or friends. Be honest and just!

Whenever you speak, speak justly, even if a near

relative is concerned; and fulfill the covenant of Allah!

Thus does He command you, that you may remember.”

(al-Quran 6:152)


Avoid vain talk and practice charity!

Don’t waste your time and talent in vain talk and dirty jokes. Be down to earth and remember Allah in all your affairs. Spend your spare time in charity work to help mankind! That’s the key to success in this as well as in the next life.

Successful indeed are the believers who are

humble in their prayers; who avoid vain talk;

who are active in deeds of charity; and

who guard their modesty.”

(al-Quran 23:1-5)

A Kind Word

Speak gently, treat people kindly and behave nicely! Your manners and your behaviour is like your visiting card. If you are kind to others, they’ll be kind to you.

A kind word with forgiveness is better

than alms-giving followed by injury.

Allah is Absolute, Clement.”

(al-Quran 2:263)

Be Grateful To Allah!

Every breath is a gift from God. Be grateful to the Creator Whose blessings and favors you cannot count! We always need His mercy and blessing to succeed in this world and in the Hereafter. If you pay thanks to Allah, He will give your more. He’s already showering His countless blessing upon you but you should not take those blessings for granted.

And if you would count the favors of Allah,

you cannot reckon them. Lo, Allah is indeed

Forgiving, Merciful.”

(al-Quran 16:18)

Be Humble And Modest!

Be humble and down to earth! A branch of tree bearing fruit bends down. Arrogance is cursed. Learn humility and maintain modesty! Allah commands us in the Quran:

And walk not in the earth exultant!

Lo, you cannot rend the earth, nor can

you stretch to the heights of the hills.”

(al-Quran 17:37

Help Others!

Be always ready to give service. What we do for others counts most in life. You do something for somebody today and somebody will do something for you tomorrow. It is tit for tat. Allah says:

Therefore, remember Me, I’ll remember you!

Give thanks to Me, and reject not Me!”

(al-Quran 2:152)

Give Away Smiles!

If you see someone without a smile, give him/her one of yours. The magic about the smile is that when you give it to others, you don’t lose yours. It’s “sadakah” (charity), meaning you’ll get reward from Allah for that. And you know that smiling faces look beautiful too! Therefore, smile now! Say cheese! Why worry and have wrinkles when you can smile and have dimples? People would like you.

People’s Person

Become a “people’s person”! Be genuinely interested in people. If you try, you can like everybody and everybody will like you. It helps in fulfilling the obligations of “Haqooq-ul-Ibaad” (people’s rights). And again, you will get reward for that in the Hereafter. Remember what Allah says:

Lo, Allah loves not such

as are proud and boastful.”

(al-Quran 4:36)

Show Understanding!

Learn to understand first and to be understood second. It helps in developing tolerance and mutual understanding. Show a little patience and tolerance! Allah loves those who love His creation. This is a great quality ofakhlaq-i-Islami” that will bring you reward in the Hereafter.

Think Positive!

Allah has blessed humans with intelligence. Keep thinking positive. It creates good vibes and easily eliminates negative energy. Remember!

Life ends when you stop thinking!

Hope ends when you stop believing!

Love ends when you stop caring!

And Friendship ends when you stop sharing.

Positive thinking, believing, caring and sharing are all parts of the character of a Muslim; and will also bring you reward in the Hereafter.

Learn Your Lesson!

Every adversity, every situation, every issue, every pain and every crisis has a positive side. Find it and bring it to life. There is a lesson for us in each one of them and that should be considered a blessing. Remember, every dark cloud has a silver lining. Put your trust in Allah. He is the Best Disposer of Affairs. He helps us with strength when we feel weak.

Allah would make the burden light

for you, for man was created weak.”

(al-Quran 4:28)

Follow Your Dreams!

Believe in your dreams and work hard to realize them! Every great success started with a small dream. When you find a dream inside you, don’t ever let it go; for dreams are the tiny seeds from which the big beautiful tomorrows grow, provided you nourish them with sincerity, hard-work and honesty of purpose! You are special and can achieve anything with a sincere effort.

Live a simple life!

Live a modest and simple life. There is beauty in simplicity. A simple lifestyle will save you lots of troubles and will bring you contentment and happiness. Allah commands us in the Holy Quran:

Be modest in your bearing and subdue

your voice! Lo, the harshest of all voices

is the voice of the donkey.”

(al-Quran 31:19)

Don’t be mad, be glad!

Be happy. Be glad and don’t be mad! It is easy to be mad and hard to be glad. But the wise people tell us that it’s easy to be glad. Just try to stay calm and cool. Be positive! Don’t be cruel to yourself. Try to be happy and not angry. Happiness is all in the head. It’s a feeling that you can control. Live without stress and tension. That’s the best recipe for a healthy body and a healthy mind.

Be patient and steadfast!

Don’t rush! Take your time and do a good job! Be patient! Easy does it. Rushing is Devil’s quality. Haste creates waste. Be steadfast in your behaviour and show discipline and self-control. Always fear Allah. Allah loves those who …:

Those who show patience, firmness and self-control;

who are true (in word and deed); who worship devoutly;

who spend (in the way of Allah); and who pray for

forgiveness in the early hours of the morning.”

(al-Quran 3:17)

Live in Truth!

Live in truth and with truth! Truth is divine and will always lead you out of misery. It saves you from troubles. Honesty is the best policy, we all know that. One truth can save you many lies. The Bible says: “The Truth shall set you free”. In the Holy Quran, Allah says:

Confound not truth with falsehood,

nor knowingly conceal the truth!”

(al-Quran 2:42)

And say: Truth has come and falsehood

has vanished away. Lo, falsehood

is ever bound to vanish!”

(al-Quran 17:81)


Be Humane!

Be humane and treat others the way you want to be treated. Remember! Everything you do to others will come back to you one day. Win others with good deeds and sympathetic conduct! Help others and cooperate with people in righteousness! That will make your life easier. Allah says:

Allah loves those whose deeds are good.”

(al-Quran 3:148)

FASTING WORKS MIRACLES ON YOUR BRAIN & BODY, But Big Pharma Won't Tell You!

 

Fasting Works Miracles

On Your Brain & Body

But ‘Big Pharma’ Won’t Tell You

(M. Javed Naseem)


Fasting is a blessing. Fasting was prescribed for all believers in every age and time. It was declared “obligatory” for Muslims, Christians and the Jews. But mankind has abandoned this religious practice. Surprisingly, it is making its return, thanks to the medical professionals and nutritionists of the modern health science.

In some narrations of Hadith, it is said that the Prophet (s.a.w.) used to fast twice a week (every Monday and Thursday) in addition to the three days (13th, 14th and 15th) of every month (apart from Ramadan). This kind of fasting is called ‘intermittent fasting’ (i.e., not continuous).

What Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) recommended 14 centuries ago, is being discovered and researched by modern world today. Modern medical science has come up with the proof that fasting, especially intermittent fasting, works miracles on your body, especially the brains. But the money-making Big Pharma is not interested in supporting and researching such a study. They would lose most of their clients. They want people to stay sick and suffer from all kinds of illnesses so that they could make money by selling drugs in the name of treatment. This is a trillion-dollar business.

When health becomes a business, the only consideration is to boost the profits. If people are healthy, doctors and Big Pharma would not make big money. Simple!

Fasting does good things for the brain, and this is evident by all of the beneficial neuro-chemical changes that happen in the brain when we fast. It also improves cognitive function, increases neuro-trophic factors, increases stress resistance, and reduces inflammation.

Fasting is extremely beneficial for your physical and spiritual well-being. Unfortunately, the biased media has dubbed it as a Muslim religious ritual (referring to Ramadan) only thus taking away all the health benefits your body can derive from it. Fasting is good for the body and the soul. It’s not only materially beneficial, it’s also a godly act. It’s good for the entire mankind though it’s obligatory for Muslims only. But all scriptures show that all messengers or prophets of God (like Abraham, Moses, Jesus, etc.) used to fast; and their followers did the same. The Quran says that fasting was as well obligatory for all other nations as it is obligatory for Muslims.

If people fast, the food industry loses money.

What about the pharmaceutical industries?

What if people do some intermittent fasting, 

exercise periodically and are very healthy,

is the pharmaceutical industry going to

make any money on healthy people?’

--- Dr. Mark Mattson, PhD

Researchers claim that fasting is a challenge to your brain, and your brain responds to that challenge by adapting stress response pathways which help your brain cope with stress and risk for disease. The same changes that occur in the brain during fasting mimic the changes that occur with regular exercise. They both increase the production of protein in the brain (neuro-trophic factors), which in turn promotes the growth of neurons, the connection between neurons, and the strength of synapses.

Fasting shifts stem cells from a dormant

state to a state of self-renewal. It triggers

stem cell based regeneration of an organ

or system.’ – Study

Modern scientific research has shown some wonderful results of fasting (or intermittent fasting). The food (or your dietary habits) affect your body and soul. Dietary changes have long been known to have an effect on the brain. Children who suffer from epileptic seizures have fewer of them when placed on caloric restriction or fasts. It is believed that fasting helps kick-start protective measures that help counteract the overexcited signals that epileptic brains often exhibit. Some children with epilepsy have also benefited from a specific high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet. Dr. Mattson and another researcher reported in the journal ‘Nature Reviews Neuroscience’ that normal brains, when overfed, can experience another kind of uncontrolled excitation, impairing the brain’s function.

What Fasting Does To Your Brain, And

Why Big Pharma Won’t Study It!

Mark Mattson, Chief of the Laboratory of Neuroscience at the National Institute on Aging and his team have published several papers that discuss how fasting twice a week could significantly lower the risk of developing both Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. He is also a professor of Neuroscience at The Johns Hopkins University, and one of the foremost researchers in the area of cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying multiple neuro-degenerative disorders, like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. In one of his interviews, Mark Mattson said:

I chose to include ‘Big Pharma’ in the title because that’s exactly what it is. There have been countless examples of the manipulation of published research at the hands of pharmaceutical companies in recent years. Why is it that the normal diet is three meals a day plus snacks? It isn’t that it’s the healthiest eating pattern, now that’s my opinion but I think there is a lot of evidence to support that. There are a lot of pressures to have that eating pattern, there’s a lot of money involved. The food industry — are they going to make money from skipping breakfast like I did today? No, they’re going to lose money. If people fast, the food industry loses money. What about the pharmaceutical industries? What if people do some intermittent fasting, exercise periodically and are very healthy? Is the pharmaceutical industry going to make any money on healthy people?”

Fasting can also stimulate the production of new nerve cells from stem cells in the hippocampus. He also mentions ketones (an energy source for neurons), and how fasting stimulates the production of ketones and that it may also increase the number of mitochondria in neurons. Fasting also increases the number of mitochondria in nerve cells; this comes as a result of the neurons adapting to the stress of fasting (by producing more mitochondria). By increasing the number of mitochondria in the neurons, the ability for nerons to form and maintain the connections between each other also increases, thereby improving learning and memory ability.

Intermittent fasting enhances the ability of nerve cells to repair DNA.” 

He also goes into the evolutionary aspect of this theory – how our ancestors adapted and were built for going long periods of time without food.

A study published in the June issue of ‘Cell Stem Cell’ by researchers from the University of Southern California showed that cycles of prolonged fasting protect against immune system damage and, moreover, induce immune system regeneration. They concluded that fasting shifts stem cells from a dormant state to a state of self-renewal. It triggers stem cell based regeneration of an organ or system.

Fasting twice a week could significantly

lower the risk of developing both

A scientific review of multiple scientific studies regarding fasting was published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2007. It examined a multitude of both human and animal studies and determined that fasting is an effective way to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer. It also showed significant potential in treating diabetes.
