YOU ARE SPECIAL: Be A Man To The Mankind!



You Are Special!
Don’t Under-estimate Yourself!
With God’s Help
You Can Conquer Anything!

Show The World You’re Unique!
Be A Man To The Mankind!
Lead By Example!

(M. Javed Naseem)


وَلَقَدْ كَرَّمْنَا بَنِى آدَمَ وَحَمَلْنَاهُمْ فِى ٱلْبَرِّ وَٱلْبَحْرِ وَرَزَقْنَاهُمْ
مِّنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَاتِ وَفَضَّلْنَاهُمْ عَلَىٰ كَثِيرٍ مِّمَّنْ خَلَقْنَا تَفْضِيلاً
“We have honored the sons of Adam;
We carry them on the land and sea; gave
them for sustenance good and pure things;
and conferred on them special favors,
above a great part of our creation.”
(al-Quran 17:70)

You are special, very special! Allah Himself created you and you are carrying His Spirit as long as you are alive in this world. Do you ever realize and appreciate that?
Look at yourself! Look at each and every part of your body and try to figure out how it functions! It has marvelous ways of working, highly organized function, amazing technique, incredible energy supply channel, and fantastic immune system. Even after thousands of years the experts are still struggling to uncover the marvels of human brain, body and soul.

وَفِى ٱلأَرْضِ آيَاتٌ لِّلْمُوقِنِينَ وَفِيۤ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَفَلاَ تُبْصِرُونَ
“And in the earth are signs for those
whose faith is sure. And also in yourselves.
Can you then not see?”
(al-Quran 51:20-21)

The experts cannot reach your soul and that’s where the real thing lies.
We generally say that it’s in our heart that we have the connections with our Creator; from there we transmit and receive the messages from the Divine. Allah wants us to observe and learn lessons from His signs in the earth, in us, and pay thanks to Him.
We all make mistakes in life, as we are forgetful, sinful and weak.  We cannot sometimes resist the temptation. The devil is too strong for us but with the help of God we can fight him and escape from his traps. We need to turn to God.

فَأَمَّا مَن تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحاً فَعَسَىٰ أَن يَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُفْلِحِينَ
“But as for him who shall repent and believe, and
do right, he haply may be one of the successful.”
(al-Quran 28:67)


Here is a beautiful story, I read the other day. A speaker was talking to the audience in a seminar. He took a $20 bill and held it up in his hand. He then asked the audience,
‘Who would like to have this $20 bill?’ Many people raised their hands as it was free money. The speaker said, ‘I am going to give this money to one of you but first let me do this.’ He crumpled the currency note, made a small ball of it, and asked, ‘Who still wants it?’ Still many hands were up in the air.
‘Well,’ he replied, ‘what if I do this?’ And he dropped the $20 bill on the ground and started trampling it with his foot. Then he picked it up, all crumpled and dirty; and asked the people:
‘Now, who still wants it?’ Still the hands went up in the air.
‘You see my friends,’ the speaker continued, ‘You have all learned a very good lesson today. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.’ It is the same with us all.


Many times in life we are dropped, crumpled and trampled in the dirt by the decisions we make or by   the circumstances that come our way. We feel as if we are worthless, down and dirty.  But no matter what has happened, or what will happen, you will never lose your value. You are YOU – special, very special, very valuable! And don’t ever forget that in life!
Whether we realize it or not, everyone we know in life is very special, even the people who really make you mad sometimes. They all cared about you at some point – and that needs to be appreciated.  Always look at the bright, positive side. Being positive is very healthy.


It’s absolutely normal for us, Muslims, to believe that we are connected with the Almighty and when we talk to Him, He always listens. He is the source of success and mercy for us, here in this world and in the Hereafter. We cannot do without Him; therefore, we’ve got to keep Him in our lives.  When we bring Allah into our lives, we are guaranteed success and prosperity.

وَتُوبُوۤاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ جَمِيعاً أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ
“… And turn unto Allah together, O believers,
in order that you may succeed!”
(al-Quran 24:31)

Therefore, when we repent and get back on the right track, we become ‘special’ again and do not lose our value. How, in the world,  can we lose our value when Allah Himself created  us  and  sent  us  down  in  this  earth  to  seek  His bounties and mercy?
When Allah created Adam, He told the angels that He had created His viceroy on earth. Therefore, you are Allah’s deputy here in this world. So, make it worthwhile!

فَٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَرِزْقٌ كَرِيمٌ
“Those who believe, and do good works,
for them is forgiveness and a rich provision.”
(al-Quran 22:50)
 

(Translation: “You are not meant for the earth, nor for the skies! The whole universe is created for you, not you for it!”)

All we need to do is to remember Him, pay thanks to Him, take care of our obligations towards Him; and be nice and good to other folks. We should do the best, at least, on our part. When we do good to others, we actually do good to ourselves. And as a bonus, the Lord Almighty also grants us rewards in this world as well as in the Hereafter.

وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
“… And Allah loves those whose deeds are good.”
(al-Quran 3:148)

(From my book “You Are Special”, published: 2010, duly edited.)

WOMEN'S HYGIENE: It's All About Money, Not Your Health.



Women’s Hygiene
It’s All About Money,
Not Your Health!

Ladies! Watch Out!
85% of Tampons, Sanitary Pads And
Other Feminine Care Products Are
Contaminated With Monsanto’s
Cancer-Causing Glyphosate
And/Or AMPA.

(M. Javed Naseem)


It may not be considered nice to talk openly about women’s private hygiene and the related products but the aim of my blog is to bring ‘awareness’ to the mankind. And half of this mankind is female. In Muslim countries cultural barriers discourage you to discuss women’s health issues if you are not a female. Despite all the advantages of internet our women are at a disadvantage when it comes to the issues of their private life and health. They cannot ask the experts and scientists openly the questions they really want to ask. In my opinion, women’s health is a lot more important than men’s because women give birth to children and both mothers and children should be protected from cancer and other diseases. Otherwise our future generations would be sick and retarded.

Let’s start with recommendations for women’s good health. A healthy woman has a healthy mind and a balanced proportionate body. It adds to her physical beauty, general well-being, self-esteem and eventually her spiritual advancement.

Here are three basic but very important things (activities) you must adopt for a healthy living! Remember, healthy living is also simple lifestyle!

1. Eat Natural!
Eat a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables every day and try to avoid processed foods. Eat whole grains and high-fiber foods and less red meat; more fish and poultry, low-fat dairy products. You need between 800 and 1,500mg of calcium daily (depending on your age) to help avoid osteoporosis. Avoid foods and beverages that are high in calories, sugar, salt, and fat. Try some raw vegetables, such as mixed green salad, celery, carrots, broccoli, cucumbers, radish and zucchini with home-made dip or sauce.


If you like to cook, add some miracle spices to your cooking. These are turmeric, black pepper, cinnamon, ginger, hot chilly, coriander, cumin, clove, Indian Garam-Masala, etc. Use olive oil, olive pickle, vinegar, sun-flower oil and coconut oil. Avoid vegetable shortenings and regular cooking oils.
Use onions, garlic, lemon, avocado, grapefruit, daikon/radish (Mooli).  
If you are 50 years old or plus, you may not be getting enough vitamins and nutrients in your diet. So you might want to take a multivitamin and a calcium supplement to make sure you are maintaining good health.


2. Exercise Daily!
Exercise and sport is the most important activity (after food) in our daily life. Heart disease is the leading cause of death among women in America. Regular exercise/sport can keep your heart healthy. You should exercise at least 30-minutes every day and at least 5 days a week. The best and the cheapest exercise is jogging, brisk walking, cycling, basketball playing, swimming, etc.


3. Avoid Unhealthy Activities!
No smoking! Avoid the company of smokers too! No alcohol, no drugs! Learn to relax because mental health is important to your general physical well-being. Don’t stress out (at least try not to)! Use less make-up as most beauty products are ‘chemical’ products that can harm your skin. Natural oils are the best to apply on your skins, especially olive oil and coconut oil.
If you are 40 years or plus, you should go for mammogram check every year to avoid breast cancer!



Now, let’s talk about some shocking discovery!
Experts conducted a scientific research on women’s products in Argentina and found out that most products were contaminated by cancer-causing elements like Glyphosate and AMPA (or amino-methyl-phosphonic acid).
“Eighty-five percent of all samples tested positive for glyphosate and 62 percent for AMPA, which is the environmental metabolite, but in the case of cotton and sterile cotton gauze the figure was 100 percent.”

Cancer-causing Elements:
AMPA and Glyphosate are cancer-causing elements. Today, in America more than 90% of cotton is contaminated with AMPA or Glyphosate. It is the GMO cotton. And it’s very harmful and dangerous for human health.

************************************
Glyphosate is also associated with IQ loss
and intellectual disability, autism,
attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder,
obesity (both child and adult), diabetes,
infertility and cardiovascular disease.
Needless to say, this isn’t the kind of
chemical you want absorbed by wounds,
or worse, through the vagina.

************************************
Dr. Medardo Avila Vazquez, president of the congress, draws attention to the fact that most cotton production is now genetically modified, where the poisonous herbicide  by Monsanto ‘Roundup’ is sprayed when the bud is open and the Glyphosate is condensed and goes straight into the product.
You are at risk for cancer, reproductive harm, endocrine disruption and allergic rash.
Here’s the shocking discovery about women’s personal/private products!

Gambling With Women’s Health
By Carolanne Wright,
(Contributing writer for Wake Up World, Pub.: January 22, 2017)

Typically we take for granted the safety of cotton products such as gauze, bandages, swabs, pads, wipes — and even feminine products, like tampons and sanitary pads. But a 2015 Argentinian study should give us pause for thought.

As it turns out, researchers from the University of La Plata (Argentina) found that a vast majority of these products contain glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsanto’s wildly popular Roundup herbicide and the same chemical that’s considered a “probable carcinogen” by the World Health Organization.

If that’s not enough to get your attention, glyphosate is also associated with IQ loss/intellectual disability, autism, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, obesity (both child and adult), diabetes, infertility and cardiovascular disease. Needless to say, this isn’t the kind of chemical you want absorbed by wounds, or worse, through the vagina.
“Chemicals absorbed through the vagina are easily and effectively distributed throughout the body, without being metabolized. for example, when estrogenic drugs are administered vaginally, the resulting systemic levels of the drug in the body can be 10-80 times higher than when the very same dose is given orally.” [source]


Not only did the research team find 85 percent of the cotton products tested positive for glyphosate, but also discovered that 62 percent of the samples contained AMPA (or aminomethylphosphonic acid) — an environmental metabolite of glyphosate, which is potentially 1,000 times more toxic once inside the body.

However, the numbers were higher for some of the products. Says lead researcher Dr. Damian Marino:
“Eighty-five percent of all samples tested positive for glyphosate and 62 percent for AMPA, which is the environmental metabolite, but in the case of cotton and sterile cotton gauze the figure was 100 percent.”

All the samples — gauze, swabs, wipes and feminine care products — were purchased in the La Plata area from local pharmacies and supermarkets.

“It might not be the most popular thing to discuss, but we probably should. I admit I chose this title on purpose to catch your attention, but now that I have it, have you ever considered that the majority of cotton (in the U.S. anyway) is genetically modified, and as such, it might be tainted with cancer-causing, endocrine-disrupting, infertility-promoting glyphosate?” [source]
In the U.S. alone, farmers sprayed an astonishing 2.6 billion pounds of the herbicide over agricultural land between 1992 and 2012. The chemical not only contaminates crops like cotton — but also the soil, air and waterways.

and effectively distributed throughout the body,

Watch Out Ladies!
A study (research survey) says you might be putting Glyphosate-tainted tampons in your vagina! Watch this research video!

This isn’t the first time feminine care products have come under fire for unregulated safety issues. According to Women’s Voices for the Earth, health hazards include:
Tampons: Toxic ingredients: dioxins and furans (from the chlorine bleaching process), pesticide residues and unknown fragrance chemicals. Exposure concerns: cancer, reproductive harm, endocrine disruption and allergic rash.


Pads: Toxic ingredients: dioxins and furans, pesticide residues, unknown fragrance chemicals and adhesive chemicals such as methyldibromo glutaronitrile. Exposure concerns: cancer, reproductive harm and endocrine disruption. Studies link pad use to allergic rash.

Feminine Wipes: Toxic ingredients: methylchloroisothiazolinone, methylisothiazolinone, parabens, quaternium-15, dmdm Hydantoin and unknown fragrance chemicals. Exposure concerns: cancer and endocrine disruption, allergic rash.

Feminine Wash: Toxic ingredients: unknown fragrance chemicals, parabens, methylchloroisothiazolinone, methylisothiazolinone, dmdm Hydantoin, d&c red no.33, ext d&c violet #2, and fd&c yellow #5. Exposure concerns: endocrine disruption, allergic rash, and asthma.

Douche: Toxic ingredients: unknown fragrance chemicals and the spermicide octoxynol-9. Studies link douche use to bacterial vaginosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, cervical cancer, low-birth weight, preterm birth, HIV transmission, sexually transmitted diseases, ectopic pregnancy, chronic yeast infections, and infertility.

Feminine deodorant (sprays , powders and suppositories): Toxic ingredients: unknown fragrance chemicals, parabens, and benzethonium chloride. Exposure concerns: reproductive harm, endocrine disruption and allergic rash.

Feminine anti-itch creams: Toxic ingredients: may include unknown fragrance chemicals, parabens, methylisothiazolinone and an active ingredient, benzocaine, a mild anesthetic. Exposure concerns: endocrine disruption, allergic rash, and unresolved itch.


***********************************************
Safer Options:

Thankfully, safer options are available in organic
cotton and innovations like the silicone menstrual cup.
Natural creams, soaps, wipes and washes are also a
possibility. But until the toxicity of feminine care
products becomes common knowledge, women around
the world will continue to be put at serious risk.

Ladies! Have you ever heard of Alex the “Earthie Mama’? She is a nice lady with a lot of experience in the field of health and well-being. She prepares her own potions, tonics, juices, foods, creams, sun-screens and beauty products. She would like to share with you her insights. Here’s her message:


“Do you want to learn how to listen to your natural intuition?
Would you like to connect with that natural balance within?
Would you like to live in harmony with the Earth?
Would you like to learn tools from nature to balance and calm your daily life?
I want to help you connect with your inner Earthie Mama and encourage you to make the change that will keep you happier and healthier for life!”

Here Alex the 'Earthie Mama' talks about her ‘Master Tonic’!
The Master Tonic is an antibiotic, destroying both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It is also a potent anti-viral and anti-fungal/yeast formula, and will increase blood and lymph circulation to every part of the body. It is so effective that it is said to be the cure for colds and the flu, and is the herbal preparation of choice against Candida.
 
Benefits of each Ingredient: (All Organic Of Course!!)

Garlic is a broad spectrum antibiotic. Unlike chemical antibiotics that kill off millions of friendly bacteria that your body needs, Garlic only targets the invading bacteria and even promotes and increases your healthy bacteria. Garlic is also a powerful anti-fungal and literally destroys any antigen, pathogen and any harmful or disease causing micro-organism. 

Onion is Garlic's next of kin and has similar but milder action. Together they are a tremendous fighting duo. 

Horseradish is a potent herb for the sinus and lungs. It opens up the sinus passages and increases the circulation there, where most doctors agree, the common cold and influenza often starts. 

Ginger contains powerful anti-inflammatory properties and is a tremendous circulatory stimulant.

Hot Peppers are the most powerful circulatory propellant known. It simply sends the antibiotic and disease fighting properties of the other herbs where they're needed most.

Turmeric clears infection and reduces inflammation inside of the body. It blocks cancer from developing. Especially helpful for those with joint pain.

Apple Cider Vinegar: There surely must be something really healthy in using apple cider vinegar, since The Father of Medicine, Hippocrates, used this vinegar around 400 B.C. for its health giving qualities. It is said that he had only two remedies: honey and apple cider vinegar.
Apple cider vinegar is made from fresh ripe apples that are fermented and undergo a stringent process to create the final product. The vinegar contains a host of vitamins, beta-carotene, pectin and vital minerals such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorous, chlorine, sulphur, iron, and fluorine.
It is claimed that apple cider vinegar is helpful in ailments such as constipation, headaches, arthritis, weak bones, indigestion, high cholesterol, diarrhea, eczema, sore eyes, chronic fatigue, mild food poisoning, hair loss, high blood pressure, obesity, along with a host of many other ailments. No wonder then many know apple cider vinegar as the "Wonder Drug". 

Please visit Alex the Earthie Mama’s website and you would surely learn a thing or two from her to make your own body-care products at home.

So, Ladies! Stay well and healthy! Always watch what you eat, what you use, what you put on your face and in your body! And most important of all, stay connected to your Creator (Allah, the Almighty)! He is the best Protector, best Friend, best Disposer of Affairs, best Healer/Doctor and the best Guardian! I have seen hospitalized patients being healed with prayers and Dua alone when they were sick and tired of anti-biotic medicines, and had lost all hope. Nobody cares about you more than God!
Allah bless you all!

VALENTINE'S DAY: Legalizing Adultery (Zina).



Valentine’s Day
Legalizing Adultery (Zina)!
It’s Being Promoted In Muslim
Countries With An Agenda

(M. Javed Naseem)


*********************************************
$4billion business yearly in America alone!
You are being pushed away from true Jewish,
Christian and Islamic cultures and the sacred
institution of marriage. This day promotes
perversion, adultery and corrupts your
younger generation. Plus they make billions
of dollars out of it! You're being fooled!

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

St. Valentine is a legend and generally a legend is not a fact (100% true). Although it might contain 5-10% of truth, the story is normally woven around ‘hearsay’ and is greatly exaggerated, inflated, and sometimes outright fabricated.
Most of what is known about Saint Valentine (Latin: Valentinus) is legendary. In fact, historians are not completely certain which Valentine is commemorated on February 14. The commemoration may celebrate up to three different Valentines.
The first was a Roman priest martyred on the Flaminian Way under Roman Emperor Claudius (c. AD 269). The second was a bishop of Terni (ancient Interamna), born around 175 AD, who was taken to Rome and martyred (in both cases, the legends resemble, so they might be the one and the same person). The third Valentine was a martyr in the Roman province of Africa, about whom little else is known.
Medieval scholar Jack Oruch, in the July 1981 issue of Speculum (Journal of Medieval Studies) makes a strong case that the Saint Valentine's Day connection to love and romance derives solely from Geoffrey Chaucer's Parliament of Foules (Fowls). In this poem, nature convenes a parliament in which birds will choose their mate. Even though Chaucer connects the romantic overtones of Saint Valentine's Day to ancient customs, Oruch effectively argues that no such traditions existed before Chaucer's time.
Thus, modern research suggests it is unlikely that secular Saint Valentine's Day customs are pagan practices derived from the Roman Lupercalia. They are modern-day invention!


As per Catholic Stand:
Endangering the sanctity of marriage:
Unfortunately, secularization and commercialization haven’t been the end of the betrayal of Saint Valentine. With 50 Shades of Grey being marketed as a romantic outing for couples on this day of love, we are sending an even more diabolical message – lust, perversion, and the toll they take in their pure selfishness is being glorified. Holding BDSM  (bondage, domination, sadism, and masochism) up as examples of what love looks like, we endanger an entire generation’s outlook on the sanctity of marriage

As per History Channel:
In all, there are about a dozen St. Valentines, plus a pope!
The saint we celebrate on Valentine’s Day is known officially as St. Valentine of Rome in order to differentiate him from the dozen or so other Valentines on the list. Because “Valentinus”—from the Latin word for worthy, strong or powerful—was a popular moniker between the second and eighth centuries A.D., several martyrs over the centuries have carried this name.

Chaucer may have invented Valentine’s Day.
The medieval English poet Geoffrey Chaucer often took liberties with history, placing his poetic characters into fictitious historical contexts that he represented as real. No record exists of romantic celebrations on Valentine’s Day prior to a poem Chaucer wrote around 1375. In his work “Parliament of Foules,” he links a tradition of courtly love with the celebration of St. Valentine’s feast day–an association that didn’t exist until after his poem received widespread attention. The poem refers to February 14 as the day birds (and humans) come together to find a mate. When Chaucer wrote:
“For this was sent on Seynt Valentyne’s day,  
Whan every foul cometh ther to choose his mate,”

he may have invented the holiday we know as ‘Valentine’s Day’ today.


From: United Church of God (UCG)
Excerpts from:
Where did Valentine's Day come from?
Is it wrong for a Christian to celebrate it?
Posted on Jan 25, 2011 by United Church of God

Like many of the world's major holidays, St. Valentine's Day is an annual observance with its roots entrenched firmly in pagan beliefs and customs. What would God think about Valentine's Day?
he World Book Encyclopedia tells us regarding Valentine’s Day: “The customs connected with the day . . . probably come from an ancient Roman festival called Lupercalia which took place every February 15. The festival honored Juno, the Roman goddess of women and marriage, and Pan, the god of nature” (1973, vol. 20, p. 204).
For the people of ancient Rome, the festival of Lupercalia was an annual ritual believed to ward off evil spirits and increase fertility. Lupercalia (also known as Februatio, from which comes the month name February) was popular among many of the new converts to the fast-rising Catholic Church.
Pope Gelasius officially condemned the pagan Roman festival and banned its observance, many of its accompanying practices quickly appeared in a newly established holiday added by him to the official church list of feast days in A.D. 496—St. Valentine’s Day.
What amounted to a renamed, refurbished Lupercalia then picked up steam, gradually adapting itself into the Valentine’s Day we know today, which included the added elements of Valentine cards and Cupid, the Roman god of erotic love.
“When the Lord your God cuts off from before you
the nations which you go to dispossess … do not
inquire after their gods, saying, ‘How did these
nations serve their gods? I also will do likewise.
You shall not worship the Lord your God in that
way; for every abomination to the Lord which
He hates they have done to their gods …
Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it;
you shall not add to it nor take away from it.”
(Deuteronomy 12:29-32).


Though the practices of Lupercalia have been repackaged and dressed up in the form of Valentine’s Day, these verses indicate they remain just as detestable as they have always been in our Creator’s eyes. Instead of pagan days and practices, our focus should be on the festivals God has given us in the Bible, which point us toward His amazing and incomparable plan for all of humanity.


From: Christianity Today:
Valentine's Day
The origins of the modern Valentine’s Day are mostly legend. Legend has it St. Valentine was a priest who died defending marriage under a Roman emperor opposed to the practice. Legend has it the date was set to parallel the beginning of bird mating season. The clearest connection between St. Valentine and the celebration of romantic love surfaces in the Medieval work of Geoffrey Chaucer. In his Pariliament of Foules, Chaucer drafts his own legend: “For this was sent on Seynt Valentyne’s day / When every foul cometh ther to choose his mate.”

From: CBN
St. Valentine, the Real Story
By David Kithcart
Flowers, candy, red hearts and romance. That's what Valentine's day is all about, right? Well, maybe not.
The origin of this holiday for the expression of love really isn't romantic at all—at least not in the traditional sense. Father Frank O'Gara of Whitefriars Street Church in Dublin, Ireland, tells the real story of the man behind the holiday—St. Valentine.
"He was a Roman Priest at a time when there was an emperor called Claudias who persecuted the church at that particular time," Father O'Gara explains. "He also had an edict that prohibited the marriage of young people. This was based on the hypothesis that unmarried soldiers fought better than married soldiers because married soldiers might be afraid of what might happen to them or their wives or families if they died."
"I think we must bear in mind that it was a very permissive society in which Valentine lived," says Father O'Gara. "Polygamy would have been much more popular than just one woman and one man living together. The idea of encouraging them to marry within the Christian church was what Valentine was about. And he secretly married them because of the edict."
Valentine was eventually caught, imprisoned and tortured for performing marriage ceremonies against the command of Emperor Claudius the second. There are legends surrounding Valentine's actions while in prison. He fell in love with the daughter of the Jailer called Asterius.


In the year 269 AD, Valentine was sentenced to a three part execution of a beating, stoning, and finally decapitation. The story goes that the last words he wrote were in a note to Asterius' daughter. He inspired today's romantic missives by signing it, "from your Valentine."

CURIOUS OR ISLAMOPHOBE? Ponder On The Quran!



Curious Or Islamophobe?
Ponder On The Quran!
Study What God Says!

Don’t Listen To The
Biased Mainstream Media!
Do Your Own Research!

 (M. Javed Naseem)


أَفَلاَ يَتَدَبَّرُونَ ٱلْقُرْآنَ
“Will they not then ponder on the Quran?”
(‘Why don’t they study the Quran carefully?’)
(al-Quran 4:82)

Knowledge is the key to success! Knowledge is power! And knowledge is your best weapon as well as the best defense in any conflict! Knowledge is a wealth that’s never enough. You always seek more. It's like an addiction. You are respected, appreciated and adored for your Knowledge. Therefore, equip yourself with Knowledge and educate yourself!
What is the true knowledge or education? The true knowledge or education does not come with a Diploma or a degree. It's the awareness that opens your eyes, your mind and your heart. It apprises you of the rights of the Creator and the Creation; the relationship between the two; and the course of action towards an enlightened life here in this world and the Hereafter. You need the Divine assistance (guidance) to achieve that goal. That assistance or guidance is not difficult to get. It comes to you when you try to explore the relationship between Man and God, with all sincerity, honesty and perseverance. The road (path) that leads to God, passes through the valley of righteousness. There is no alternative route.


You don’t necessarily need to go to a college or a university to get knowledge and education. Prophet Mohammad (s.a.w.) never went to any school, college or university, but he had tremendous amount of knowledge in his possession. It was God-given as God is the Supreme source of Knowledge. All knowledge (and education) comes from Him! The only condition is that you should seek it and strive for it. When He sees your sincere effort and intention, He mercifully bestows it upon you. And when you are blessed with knowledge, you become humble. You glorify the name of your Lord in return!

To The Average Muslim:
Study the Quran carefully so that
you can answer questions of curious
non-Muslims & uneducated Muslims,
and alleviate their concerns!

When Allah created Adam, He gave him knowledge. He taught him things he knew not before. He taught him things that even the angels did not know. That made Adam superior to angels, and Allah commanded angels to prostrate in front of Adam. So, in fact, it was not the man made out of clay that was superior to angels – the most obedient servants of Allah. It was the Knowledge.


Knowledge is acquired by reading, reciting and learning. The first word that the Supreme Creator (Allah) revealed to Prophet Mohammad (s.a.w.) via Jibreel (Gabriel) was: ‘Read’ (or recite)! That’s the first step towards knowledge. The five verses of Surah al-Alaq were the first-ever revelation to the Prophet:

ٱقْرَأْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ
خَلَقَ ٱلإِنسَانَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ
ٱقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ ٱلأَكْرَمُ
ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَ بِٱلْقَلَمِ
عَلَّمَ ٱلإِنسَانَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ
“Read in the name of your Lord Who creates!
He created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood.
Read: And your Lord is the Most Bountiful.
He Who taught (the use of) the pen.
He taught man that which he knew not.”
(al-Quran 96:1-5)

The Quran is full of knowledge, wisdom, blessings, peace, cure, guidance and Allah’s mercy. The knowledge of the Quran is essential for every Muslim. In today’s age of Fitnah (trouble) our only shield and the best defense against all evil is the Quran. We should get all the worldly education possible from the best schools, best colleges and the best universities of the world. It’s good for us. But the knowledge of the Quran is above all. It not only opens your mind, it also opens your eyes and heart. And that’s what is needed for a successful life in this world and the Hereafter.


Unfortunately, today’s so-called ‘educated’ man thinks that he knows everything and does not need guidance from the Quran. That’s arrogance and it forces human beings to rebel and transgress. But Allah knew that when He said:

كَلاَّ إِنَّ ٱلإِنسَانَ لَيَطْغَىٰ
أَن رَّآهُ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
“Nay, but verily man transgresses (all bounds).
That he thinks of himself as self-sufficient.”
(al-Quran 96:6-7)

Allah warns us that we should not forget that our final journey is to Him and we should be striving to please Him; to get closer to Him. Enjoining Good and forbidding Evil is the best strategy to achieve that goal. We cannot get nearer (or closer) to Allah without righteousness and piety. The major part of righteousness consists of serving the humanity; helping the poor, the needy, the orphans, the widows and the less fortunate; the victims of injustice, persecution and aggression. We should be taking care of each other in this world to succeed in the next world.

إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلرُّجْعَىٰ أَرَأَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى يَنْهَىٰ
عَبْداً إِذَا صَلَّىٰ أَرَأَيْتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَىٰ ٱلْهُدَىٰ
أَوْ أَمَرَ بِٱلتَّقْوَىٰ أَرَأَيْتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
أَلَمْ يَعْلَم بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَرَىٰ كَلاَّ لَئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ لَنَسْفَعاً بِٱلنَّاصِيَةِ
نَاصِيَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَه سَنَدْعُو ٱلزَّبَانِيَةَ
كَلاَّ لاَ تُطِعْهُ وَٱسْجُدْ وَٱقْتَرِب
Verily, to your Lord is the return (of all).
Have you seen the one who forbids the other from praying?
Have you seen if he relies on the guidance (of Allah)?
Or enjoins righteousness? Have you seen if he denies
 (Truth) and turns away? Does he not know that Allah sees?
Let him beware! Unless he refrains, We will seize him
by the forelock – the lying sinful forelock!
Then let him call upon his helpers.
We will call on the guards of Hell.
Nay, obey him not!
But prostrate yourself and draw nearer (to Allah)!
(al-Quran 96-8-19)


Allah has made the Quran easy for us all. If any of us does not know Arabic language, he/she can read the translation in his/her own language. The Quran has been translated in almost every popular language. Study the Quran carefully via different translations from different scholars to give you a wide-angle view. If you know two languages, read the translations in both languages. That will broaden your horizon and IQ. Just remember one thing: Allah does not like division, disunity and sectarianism. He has created mankind as one nation! So stick together and make peace with each other!

MAKING AMERICA GREAT: Stop Wars, Fight Racism, Curb Islamophobia!



How To
Make America Great Again!
Stop Wars, Fight Racism,
Curb Islamophobia And
Spend Money At Home!

An Open Question To President Trump:
Can You Stand Up To The
String-Pulling Zionists 
And Greedy Bankers?

(M. Javed Naseem)


The inaugural speech of President Trump (sounds odd) was just like his campaign speech – same old rhetoric of other countries stealing American jobs; Mexicans and Muslims are bad guys and should be stopped entering America; and we would make America great again! Vow! If America were not great, you won’t be the President, Mr. Trump! Nobody ever thought that it could happen. Because most Americans don’t endorse your views about minorities and Muslims.


The fundamental problem facing America is that the President becomes a rubber-stamp in the hands of powerful financial crooks, corrupt Zionists, greedy corporate executives and dishonest bankers. They can easily buy out Congressmen and Senators to get the laws (that suit them) passed. They pull the strings. And they are neither Muslims nor Mexicans. Can the new President stand up to them and say ‘no’ for the sake of American people? No, I don't think so. He has already surrendered to the hate-mongers, racist bigots, biased and corrupt politicians who always cover their shortcomings with Islamophobia. 
Get ready folks! The next four years would be a roller-coaster ride!


**************************************
Mr. President!
If you want to make America great again,
eliminate the cancerous elements from the
establishment, Pentagon, CIA, Homeland
Security, military, Congress, Senate and
media. Bring to task the culprits behind
9/11. Don’t try to please one small group
of dishonest, corrupt and racist bigots who
want to control the world by spreading fear,
hate and Islamophobia. They are just using
you Sir, for their own vicious agenda! They
are not true Americans by any measure.

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


Here’s my advice and suggestions to make America great again:
Change your thinking that America is for Whites only! America is for everybody as all minorities (and all colors) contributed with their blood and sweat to make it great. America is already great, just catch the big thieves who are robbing it, destroying it and putting the blame on minorities.

Do some honest research and you’ll find out that more murders and crimes are committed by the White Christian Americans than all minorities put together. Shame on you for false claims based on your ignorance! American jails are full of petty thieves but the grand thieves are running the country! That’s the real problem of America.

Order a fresh inquiry and new investigation of 9/11. It was the job of professionally trained military personnel, mercenaries or commandos. Amateur Arab Bedouins are not capable of doing it. So, stop fooling American people!

Put all the perpetrators of 9/11 behind bars and recover all the wealth the crooks have looted from insurance and the govt. as bail-out. It’s tax-payers’ money, so spend that money on job-creating projects!

Stand up for truth, justice and uphold the American Constitution guaranteeing all liberties and freedoms offered by it including the First Amendment. Don’t listen to the corrupt cronies and ass-kissers. Truth always prevails.
 
*****************************************
“Over the past, the Americans had 13 wars
spending 40.2 trillion dollars. What if they
spent a part of that money on building up the
infrastructure, helping the white-collar and the
blue-collar workers? No matter how strategically
good it is (to spend on wars), you are supposed
to spend money on your own people.”
– Jack Ma of Alibaba

*****************************************
Stop funding the terrorist regime of Zionist Israel with American people’s money. This money should be spent on Americans in America guaranteeing them jobs, medical care, social security and educational scholarships for their children.


Stop invading other countries on false flags and lame excuses. America should not export wars. It should export cars and machinery. Cut military spending and rather spend on infra-structure to heal the economy!


Nobody is stealing your jobs! You are ill-informed! Your greedy corporations are exporting them overseas to make many-fold profits from cheap labor without giving any benefits to the overseas labor. Their ‘greed-without-limits’ is responsible for all economic and financial disasters in America.

************************************
“So it’s not that other countries steal jobs
from you guys, it is your strategy!
You do not distribute the money
in a proper way.”
– Jack Ma

************************************
America was built by immigrants so stop apartheid against one ethnic group or another, against Mexicans or Muslims. This hypocrisy is in fact a violation of the American Bill or Rights and the Constitution.

Here’s an open question for you, Mr. President:
Can you handle the above to make America great again?
I doubt very much. But will wait (for another four years) and see.

Nobody’s Stealing Your Jobs,
You Spend Too Much on Wars -- Alibaba’s Jack Ma
Pub: January 20, 2017, eClinik Learning

Chinese billionaire and Alibaba founder Jack Ma believes that improper distribution of funds and hyper inflated US military spending, not globalization or other countries “stealing” US jobs, is behind the economic decline in America.

The Chinese business magnate earlier in January met with US President-elect Donald Trump, who has bemoaned the loss of American industry and jobs due to the outsourcing of labor to countries like Mexico and China. Ma, however, has a different view of what is behind the US economic decline.


“Over the past, the Americans had thirteen wars spending 40.2 trillion dollars,” said Ma, speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos. “What if they spent a part of that money on building up the infrastructure, helping the white-collar and the blue-collar workers? No matter how strategically good it is (to spend on wars), you’re supposed to spend money on your own people.”

“When I was young, all I heard about America was Ford and Boeing and those big manufacturing companies. The last 10-20 years, all I heard about is Silicon Valley and Wall Street,” he continued.
“And what happened? The year 2008: The financial crisis wiped out 19.2 trillion dollars in the USA alone and destroyed 34 million jobs globally. So what if the money spent on Wall Street and the Middle East was spent on the Mid-West of the United States, developing the industry there? That could change a lot.”

According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, the United States spent $596 billion, or 3.3 percent of its GDP, on military expenditure in 2015, which is higher than any other country in the world. In Ma’s opinion, this is partly responsible for the loss of jobs in America’s Rust Belt.
“So it’s not that other countries steal jobs from you guys, it is your strategy! You do not distribute the money in a proper way,” he summarized.


From: StormCloudsGathering
The Trump years are going to be crazier than you think!

“… However, much of this hinges on a variable that Trump doesn't control: The Federal Reserve.”
“The Federal Reserve has held interest rates near zero for close to a decade. They also engaged in quantitative easing from 2009 to 2014, accumulating 4.5 trillion dollars worth of mortgage backed securities and treasury notes (they are still holding those assets by the way). This inflated stock and bond market bubbles of historic proportions.”
“When a friendly face is in the white House, crashes are typically attributed to a war, a terrorist attack or some other external variable (for example 9/11, which masked the unraveling of the tech bubble in 2001). The Trump administration, however, is an excuse in and of itself.”
“Word is the Fed is leaning towards increasing interest rates aggressively in 2017, and may engage in anti-inflationary measures to offset Trump's infrastructure stimulus plans. That means that the flow of money and credit is about to be tightened. It also means the Fed is setting itself up for a showdown.”
