Ten Commandments Of

The Anti-Christ!

Have you ever heard of the “Georgia Guidestones”? To tell you the truth, in my 20 years period in the United States, I never heard of them. In 1996, I traveled by road in my car from New York City to all the way down to Orlando and Tampa in Florida and lived there for 6 months, but never heard of it. I drove through the state of Georgia but never saw or heard of it. Now, in my retirement, living in Africa, I hear about it and see the pictures! … lol … By the way, there is an account of it on the Wikipedia too.

A friend, Hussam Abdelrahman, very kindly transcribed the commandments for me.

The Commandments of New World Order

Georgia Guidestones: The engraving and public display of genocidal plans, perceived to be perfectly fine by the blind masses. What is engraved is as follows:

1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.

2. Guide reproduction wisely — improving fitness and diversity.

3. Unite humanity with a living new language.

4. Rule Passion — Faith — Tradition — and all things with tempered reason.

5. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.

6. Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.

7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials.

8. Balance personal rights with social duties.

9. Prize truth — beauty — love — seeking harmony with the infinite.

10. Be not a cancer on the earth — Leave room for nature — Leave room for nature.

On the website of the WIRED, I read a report by Randall Sullivan, who describes the monuments as follows:

American Stonehenge:

Monumental Instructions for the Post-Apocalypse

The Georgia Guidestones may be the most enigmatic monument in the US: huge slabs of granite, inscribed with directions for rebuilding civilization after the apocalypse. Only one man knows who created them—and he’s not talking.

The strangest monument in America looms over a barren knoll in northeastern Georgia. Five massive slabs of polished granite rise out of the earth in a star pattern. The rocks are each 16 feet tall, with four of them weighing more than 20 tons apiece. Together they support a 25,000-pound capstone. Approaching the edifice, it's hard not to think immediately of England's Stonehenge or possibly the ominous monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Built in 1980, these pale gray rocks are quietly awaiting the end of the world as we know it.

Called the Georgia Guidestones, the monument is a mystery—nobody knows exactly who commissioned it or why. The only clues to its origin are on a nearby plaque on the ground—which gives the dimensions and explains a series of intricate notches and holes that correspond to the movements of the sun and stars—and the "guides" themselves, directives carved into the rocks. These instructions appear in eight languages ranging from English to Swahili and reflect a peculiar New Age ideology. Some are vaguely eugenic (guide reproduction wisely—improving fitness and diversity); others prescribe standard-issue hippie mysticism (prize truth—beauty—love—seeking harmony with the infinite).

What's most widely agreed upon—based on the evidence available—is that the Guidestones are meant to instruct the dazed survivors of some impending apocalypse as they attempt to reconstitute civilization. Not everyone is comfortable with this notion. A few days before I visited, the stones had been splattered with polyurethane and spray-painted with graffiti, including slogans like "Death to the new world order." This defacement was the first serious act of vandalism in the Guidestones' history, but it was hardly the first objection to their existence. In fact, for more than three decades this uncanny structure in the heart of the Bible Belt has been generating responses that range from enchantment to horror. Supporters (notable among them Yoko Ono) have praised the messages as a stirring call to rational thinking, akin to Thomas Paine's The Age of Reason. Opponents have attacked them as the Ten Commandments of the Antichrist.

Whoever the anonymous architects of the Guidestones were, they knew what they were doing: The monument is a highly engineered structure that flawlessly tracks the sun. It also manages to engender endless fascination, thanks to a carefully orchestrated aura of mystery. And the stones have attracted plenty of devotees to defend against folks who would like them destroyed. Clearly, whoever had the monument placed here understood one thing very well: People prize what they don't understand at least as much as what they do.

The story of the Georgia Guidestones began on a Friday afternoon in June 1979, when an elegant gray-haired gentleman showed up in Elbert County, made his way to the offices of Elberton Granite Finishing, and introduced himself as Robert C. Christian. He claimed to represent "a small group of loyal Americans" who had been planning the installation of an unusually large and complex stone monument. Christian had come to Elberton—the county seat and the granite capital of the world—because he believed its quarries produced the finest stone on the planet.

Joe Fendley, Elberton Granite's president, nodded absently, distracted by the rush to complete his weekly payroll. But when Christian began to describe the monument he had in mind, Fendley stopped what he was doing. Not only was the man asking for stones larger than any that had been quarried in the county, he also wanted them cut, finished, and assembled into some kind of enormous astronomical instrument.

What in the world would it be for? Fendley asked. Christian explained that the structure he had in mind would serve as a compass, calendar, and clock. It would also need to be engraved with a set of guides written in eight of the world's major languages. And it had to be capable of withstanding the most catastrophic events, so that the shattered remnants of humanity would be able to use those guides to reestablish a better civilization than the one that was about to destroy itself.

Monumental Precision

Built to survive the apocalypse, the Georgia Guidestones are not merely instructions for the future—the massive granite slabs also function as a clock, calendar, and compass.

1) - The monument sits at the highest point in Elbert County and is oriented to track the sun's east-west migration year-round.

2) - On an equinox or solstice, visitors who stand at the west side of the "mail slot" are positioned to see the sun rise on the horizon.

3) - An eye-level hole drilled into the center support stone allows stargazers on the south side to locate Polaris, the North Star.

4) - A 7/8-inch hole drilled through the capstone focuses a sunbeam on the center column and at noon pinpoints the day of the year.

NOT A VACCINE: No Guaranteed Protection Against Any Virus Or Variant Or Infection!

 

First:

It Is Not A Vaccine!

Second:

People Are Dying

Or Getting Sick!

Third:

No Guaranteed Protection

Against Any Virus Or

Variant Or Infection!

(M. Javed Naseem)

Until now, 9/11 was the biggest lie and deception of the century. But it looks like Coronavirus or Covid-19 is going to beat it. The corrupt mainstream media is going all out to promote the New World Order agenda and spread the fake news creating fear and anxiety among people. Things are getting so ridiculous that logic, reason, intelligence, education and true medical knowledge has been put to shame. Now the promoters, and their main organ WHO, are telling people to put two masks, as if one was not enough to choke them. Restaurants and small businesses, including barber shops are closed while football, basketball and soccer games are going on as usual, except that spectators are not allowed. This sick-minded virus is very selective in its attacks!

A lot of information is circulating on the social media, from both pro and con sides of the campaign to create confusion in people. A big drama/theater is staged at the airports and train stations and coach/bus stands with social distancing, masks, etc., but inside the planes, coaches/buses and trains, it is business as usual. Strange! The way all corrupt governments and administrations are forcing people to get vaccinated or get tested otherwise they won’t be allowed this thing or that, is very suspicious. When you step on people’s civil liberties and rights, the bells ring. Those civil rights/liberties are guaranteed by every country’s constitution but most governments are trampling their own constitutions.

I would like to share with you some latest information on the situation. You might have already read the reports that many people died in many countries (like USA, Chins, UK, Germany, Norway, Spain, Italy, India, Brazil, etc., after getting the vaccine shots. The promoters claim that those who died had already other diseases. In that case, why give vaccine shot to already sick people?

Not a Vaccine

Sherry Roy posted the following on Facebook a few days ago:

Human Experimentation .....

Dr. David Martin from January 5, 2021 Focus on Fauci event

"Let’s make sure we are clear… This is not a vaccine! They are using the term “vaccine” to sneak this thing under public health exemptions. This is not a vaccine."

"This is mRNA packaged in a fat envelope that is delivered to a cell. It is a medical device designed to stimulate the human cell into becoming a pathogen creator. It is not a vaccine. Vaccines actually are a legally defined term under public health law; they are a legally defined term under CDC and FDA standards. And the vaccine specifically has to stimulate both the immunity within the person receiving it and it also has to disrupt transmission.

And that is not what this is. They (Moderna and Pfizer) have been abundantly clear in saying that the mRNA strand that is going into the cell is not to stop the transmission, it is a treatment. But if it was discussed as a treatment, it would not get the sympathetic ear of public health authorities because then people would say, “What other treatments are there?”

The use of the term vaccine is unconscionable for both the legal definition and also it is actually the sucker punch to open and free discourse… Moderna was started as a chemotherapy company for cancer, not a vaccine manufacturer for SARSCOV-2. If we said we are going to give people prophylactic chemotherapy for the cancer they don’t yet have, we’d be laughed out of the room because it’s a stupid idea. That’s exactly what this is. This is a mechanical device in the form of a very small package of technology that is being inserted into the human system to activate the cell to become a pathogen manufacturing site.

And I refuse to stipulate in any conversations that this is in fact a vaccine issue. The only reason why the term is being used is to abuse the 1905 Jacobson case that has been misrepresented since it was written. And if we were honest with this, we would actually call it what it is: it is a chemical pathogen device that is actually meant to unleash a chemical pathogen production action within a cell. It is a medical device, not a drug because it meets the CDRH definition of a device. It is not a living system, it is not a biologic system, it is a physical technology - it happens to just come in the size of a molecular package.

So, we need to be really clear on making sure we don’t fall for their game. Because their game is if we talk about it as a vaccine then we are going to get into a vaccine conversation but this is not, by their own admission, a vaccine. As a result it must be clear to everyone listening that we will not fall for this failed definition just like we will not fall for their industrial chemical definition of health. Both of them are functionally flawed and are an implicit violation of the legal construct that is being exploited. I get frustrated when I hear activists and lawyers say, “we are going to fight the vaccine”. If you stipulate it’s a vaccine you’ve already lost the battle. It’s not a vaccine. It is made to make you sick.

80% of the people exposed to SARSCOV2 are asymptomatic carriers. 80% of people who get this injected into them experience a clinical adverse event. You are getting injected with a chemical substance to induce illness, not to induce an immuno-transmissive response. In other words, nothing about this is going to stop you from transmitting anything. This is about getting you sick and having your own cells be the thing that get you sick.

When the paymaster for the distribution of information happens to be the industry that’s doing the distributing, we lose. Because the only narrative is the one that will be compensated by the people writing the check. That goes for our politicians… and our media - it has been paid for - if you follow the money you realize there is no non-conflicted voice on any network."

Whistle-blower: 8 of 31 Residents Dead in German Nursing Home After They Were Forcibly Injected with Pfizer Experimental mRNA COVID Shots Against Their Will.

Comments by Brian Shilhavy,
Editor, Health Impact News

German Attorney Reiner Fuellmich, who has previously stated that those responsible for the “Corona Scandal” must be criminally prosecuted for Crimes Against Humanity, and has also filed a lawsuit against the Facebook “FactCheckers,” recently published an interview with a whistle-blower who works inside a nursing home in Berlin.

The whistle-blower describes how German soldiers accompanied nurses to administer the vaccines, and that there was no informed consent, and some who resisted were vaccinated anyway.

The whistle-blower then gives first hand knowledge of how the health of the residents rapidly declined soon after vaccination, resulting in 8 of the 31 residents dying within a few weeks.

While these residents reportedly suffered from dementia, they were allegedly all in good physical health prior to the injections. They had also tested negative for COVID, but began to test positive after the injections.

According to the whistle-blower’s first hand knowledge and observation, the deaths of these seniors were “inhumane.”

“Normally, the person dying would eventually accept their approaching death and – perhaps after seeing a loved one for the last time – go in peace. Dying as after vaccination, however, was different,” he said.

The old people he had seen dying had breathed heavily, trembled strongly, and seemed as if inwardly they had passed away already. It seemed to him like a lonely, futile struggle against death, as if the people knew that their time had not yet come, and therefore they had not yet been able to let go.”

Attorney at Law Viviane Fischer filed a criminal complaint with the public prosecutor’s office, and informed the police as well.

Greek Hospital Administrator Faces Criminal Prosecution for Reporting Nurse’s Paralysis after Second mRNA Shot.

(By The COVID Blog, February 16, 2021)

Corfu, Greece – A Greek nurse is now paralyzed after receiving a second dose of mRNA. The 40-year-old nurse is a mother of two and has been a nurse for 17 years.

The nurse, whose name has not been disclosed, developed a fever, followed by excruciating pain throughout her body immediately after the second shot. She was rushed to the hospital when she was unable to move or feel her lower extremities.

Michalis Giannakos, President of the Panhellenic Federation of Public Hospital Workers (POEDIN), told Open TV in the East Attica region that X-rays came back clean. The nurse is now undergoing neurological assessments.

Giannakos said the nurse “was in perfect health” prior to receiving the second mRNA shot. It is believed that the nurse developed Guillain-Barré syndrome.

The neurological disease causes the immune system to attack nerves throughout the body. Giannakos said the nurse is now wheelchair bound.

BOOSTING IMMUNE SYSTEM: Fight Disease, Virus And Infection With Food!

 

Boosting Immune System:

Fight Disease, Virus And

Infections With Food!

Develop a strong immune system

with nutritional foods, good night-

sleep and exercise (sports)!

(M. Javed Naseem)

We humans need energy every day to stay alive and keep our miraculous body – the best creation of our Lord Almighty – in good running condition. We get this energy from the air, water and the foods we eat. Our body makes it possible for us to think, dream, breathe, rest and move, and at the same time fight the parasites, invaders and anti-body elements. It’s the balanced intake of the right foods and nutrients that makes it easier for the body to support us. Healthy food and nutrition is the biggest pillar of good health as it supports and strengthens our immune system.

The immune system in human body is, as a matter of fact, a defense mechanism, that fights anti-body elements and parasites to keep our physical motor running without a crisis. It fights all kinds of diseases and ailments. You might have heard the wise saying: “You are what you eat!” And that is absolutely true. Healthy foods make you healthy and junk foods make you sick and obese. But food alone cannot help us unless we show our determination to eat good and avoid unhealthy food. We need to control our munching habits with good choices.

Now-a-days our lives have been made miserable by the uncalled for social restrictions and lockdowns in the name of Coronavirus or Covid-19. Corona is a kind of seasonal flu and our body faces and fights many a flu all year round. That’s the function of our immune system. Proper nutrition and choice of good (healthy) foods can help us fight all infections, flu and viruses, including Coronavirus or Covid-19. Our body’s immune system has the capacity and ability to fight all diseases and ailments effectively. Eating right foods can improve our mood and energy level; reduce anxiety and depression and enhance overall well-being. Good food and nutrition should be a part of our lifestyle.

Make sure you get enough night sleep. A good sleep is a great immune booster. The next most important element of a healthy lifestyle (after nutritional food and good sleep) is exercise or sports. This can keep your body in excellent shape to fight diseases.

Every little bit of healthy eating helps your body fight disease more effectively. Some foods help your body fight invaders and others don’t.

7 Foods That Fight Back: Immune System Boosters

By Elizabeth Millard, Medically Reviewed by Kelly Kennedy, RD

Your immune system can use all the help it can get. Even when it's not cold and flu season, or when the novel Coronavirus is a raging threat, keeping your immunity in good shape is a smart idea. In addition to practicing well-studied healthy habits including getting adequate sleep, prioritizing exercise (sports), and using stress-relieving strategies, you can supercharge your immune system by noshing on nutrient-rich foods.

Some Types of Seafood Offer Immune-Boosting Omega-3 Fatty Acids

The omega-3 fatty acids found in some types of fish — such as salmon, sardines, herring, and mackerel — help enhance the functioning of immune cells, says Sparta, New Jersey–based Erin Palinski-Wade, RD, author of 2-Day Diabetes Diet and consultant for Swisse Wellness.

Palinski-Wade adds that DHA, a type of omega-3, may enhance the activity of white blood cells, which further strengthens immunity. That's backed up by a study suggesting that this effect may not only be significant but also happens fairly quickly — within a week.

Healthy Proteins Bolster Disease-Fighting White Blood Cells

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) notes that zinc — a mineral abundant in meats like oysters, poultry, seafood, beef, and lamb — works with the protein found in meat to strengthen the immune system. In fact, certain types of immune cells, including white blood cells, can't function without zinc, according to a review published in December 2016 in the Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics.

Whether you get your protein from lean meats or vegetarian options such as tempeh or tofu, making sure you get some at every meal is helpful for keeping your energy and your strength up, suggests McKenzie Caldwell, MPH, RDN, based in Charlotte, North Carolina. She notes that the recommended daily allowance (or minimum amount needed) for protein is 0.8 grams (g) per kilogram of body weight. (To convert to kilograms, divide weight in pounds by 2.2).

For the most heart-healthy option, choose lean protein. According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, lean protein has 55 calories and 2 to 3 g of fat per serving. Examples include 1 ounce (oz) of dark meat chicken with the skin removed, 1 oz of roast beef, and low-fat cheese that has a maximum of 3 g of fat per oz.

Dark Chocolate’s Magnesium May Strengthen Antibodies to Fend Off Disease

Plenty of vitamins and minerals play a role when it comes to immune function, but one particular standout is magnesium, according to an article published in 2017 in Molecular, Genetic, and Nutritional Aspects of Major and Trace Minerals. Your immune system is made up of numerous components, including proteins like antibodies, lymphocytes, and macrophages, which all work together to repel invaders like viruses. Palinski-Wade notes that magnesium plays an important role by improving how each of these protein types function.

Previous research has noted, for example, that magnesium helps lymphocytes bind to invaders so they can be removed from the body and helps prevent antibodies from being impaired.

The Cleveland Clinic notes there's a breadth of foods with ample amounts of magnesium, from pumpkin seeds and spinach to avocado and brown rice.

Perhaps the sweetest surprise on that list? Dark chocolate that contains between 70 and 85 percent cocoa comes in at about 65 milligrams (mg) per ounce, notes the U.S. Department of Agriculture. According to the NIH, the daily value (DV) of magnesium is 420 mg, so 1 oz offers about 15 percent of the DV and can help you reach this goal. Just keep in mind it’s a treat — so indulging in moderation is crucial.

Citrus and Leafy Greens Provide Vitamin C, a Key Nutrient for Good Immunity

Vitamin C may help protect the body against oxidative stress, and that helps support immune function, says Palinski-Wade. Oxidative stress happens when there is an imbalance of healthy antioxidants and harmful substances called free radicals in the body, research shows. Oxidative stress is associated with an increased risk of various health conditions, including stroke, cancer, and diabetes, a study suggests.

As a type of antioxidant, vitamin C is a free radical scavenger and enhances immunity by supporting cellular function, among other benefits, notes an article published in November 2017 in Nutrients.

Choose foods that are loaded with this vitamin. According to the NIH, foods with vitamin C include oranges, lemons, strawberries, blueberries, tomatoes, broccoli, leafy greens like kale, and bell peppers. To help retain vitamin C in your food, enjoy it raw when possible. Vitamin C is heat sensitive, so cooking can reduce the amount of this nutrient that your body can take in.

Nuts and Seeds Supply Immunity-Supportive Vitamin E, Selenium, and Magnesium

For a filling snack that's also a big-time help to your immune system, reach for a handful of nuts or seeds. Not only do they have magnesium, but they're also rich with vitamin E, an antioxidant that's been shown to improve the body's ability to fight off bacteria and viruses, according to the NIH.

Plus, it doesn't take much to get the benefits, Caldwell notes.

"Just one Brazil nut packs more than 100 percent of your daily selenium needs, a mineral that can strengthen your immune system," she says. Indeed, according to the NIH, 1 oz of Brazil nuts (about six to eight nuts) provides 989 percent of the DV of selenium.

Other options like sunflower seeds, almonds, walnuts, and pecans can give you that vitamin E boost with just a small handful, and they're a tasty addition to salads and other dishes, says Caldwell. They're versatile, too, since you can roast them for a snack or make your own homemade nut flour, as the Healthy Maven shows in one of her recipes.

One caveat to keep in mind is that portion control is essential when it comes to nuts. They're a healthy food but are calorie dense, so overindulgence could contribute to weight gain.

Garlic and Onions Contain Potential Antiviral Properties

Garlic gets that distinctive smell from sulfur compounds, says Palinski-Wade, and regardless of whether you love the aroma, it offers protective benefits to your health and immune response, she notes. That's because when garlic is crushed or chopped, it produces allicin, which previous research has highlighted for its antiviral and antibacterial properties.

Onions have a substance called quercetin, she adds, which may help regulate histamine response and contains antiviral properties, according to a study published in January 2016 in Viruses. 

Yogurt Aids Gut Health, Which May Positively Affect Immunity

"Yogurt is rich in probiotics, the good bacteria that support gut health," says Palinski-Wade. Johns Hopkins notes that a huge proportion of the immune system is actually in the gastrointestinal tract.

According to a study published in May 2017 in Nutrients, eating yogurt daily can improve immune function because it increases the body's production of antibodies that fight off viruses. To avoid added sugar, choose plain, unsweetened yogurt.

IF YOU HAD ONE WISH, What Will You Ask Allah For?

 

If You Had One Wish

What Will You Ask

Allah For?

(M. Javed Naseem)

 

“Whoever does good, benefits himself; and

whoever does evil, harms himself…..”

(al-Quran 45:15)

As they say, “We make our own bed”, so we should be prepared to sleep in it too! But we want only comfortable, peaceful and happy life; free of problems, hurdles and worries. How much do we contribute towards it, we don’t want to ask ourselves. We are always complaining, nagging and are never satisfied.

Good and evil (or negative and positive), keep the balance of life, and at the same time bring some excitement or joy. But eventually it is our own good effort that counts. It’s only beneficial that we direct our efforts towards ‘good’ deeds and try to avoid wasting our time and energy on superficial things that won’t benefit us in the Hereafter. The Quran tells us clearly:

“And that man has only that

for which he makes effort.”

(al-Quran 53:39)

There is a positive lesson in everything negative we experience in life. Sweet are the fruits of adversity. All it needs is a little patience, cool and an honest try to get through. It is called ‘striving’, or struggle, or Jihad – not the ‘Jihad’ that the Western fake-news media presents. In this struggle we should not forget that there will be trials and tests. Nothing comes for free. With all the diversions, interruptions and distractions, we need to stay focused on course. Allah says:

“And surely We shall try you with something

of fear and hunger, and loss of wealth and lives

and crops; but give glad tidings to the steadfast.”

(al-Quran 2:155)

If God told you that you could ask Him for one (and only one) thing and you will be granted; then what would you ask Him for?

Huh ... hundred and one things to ask, so many needs, so many desires and ambitions, so many essentials of modern and comfortable life – a tough choice! You think about it and I’ll try to help you with some alternate answers.

If you ask Allah for strength, Allah will give you difficulties and hurdles to go through. And that will make you strong. But you don’t want difficulties and hurdles!

If you ask for wisdom, God will give you problems to solve. You always deal with difficult problems trying to find solutions. In the process you turn grey and become wise. Do you want that?

If you ask God for prosperity, He will give you extra brain and brawn to work. You will be working hard, day and night to achieve your goals. Oh, you don’t want to work hard or work at all!

If you ask Allah for courage, Allah will give you ‘dangers’ to overcome. You’ll be scared to death every now and then, but you’ll become courageous. Want that?

If you ask God for love – oh, yes! Love! God will give you all the troubled people of the world – les miserables, the destitute, the flood & quake victims – to help them, take care of them and love them. You share love with them and in return they’ll love you most. And you would become love personified, like Mother Theresa or Edhi.

If you ask for favors, God will give you opportunities but you should be able to recognize them and grab them. Do you have eyes to see those opportunities or the spirit to feel the chance?

And here is the best alternative: If you ask Allah for nothing except His mercy – no material wants, no needs, no worldly desires – and just be thankful to Him for whatever you have, He will give you everything you need – guaranteed! He promised:

“… And verily We shall pay those who are

steadfast, a recompense in proportion to the

best of what they used to do.”

(al-Quran 16:96)

“And turn unto Allah together, O believers,

in order that you may succeed.”

(al-Quran 24:31)

And last but not the least: Ask Allah for His forgiveness! That forgiveness contains everything you need in this world as well as in the Hereafter. In the Holy Quran, Allah tells you to do just that:

“And seek forgiveness of Allah. Lo! Allah is

ever Forgiving, Merciful.”

(al-Quran 4:106)

Now, you know what to ask for and how to ask! But, as the saying goes: First deserve, then desire! The promise of success is there and there is absolutely no doubt in that. We need to make some honest and sincere effort on our part. But in those efforts, there is no escape from pains and hurts in life. It’s a ‘must’ of life without which your life cycle cannot be complete. Therefore, we should prepare ourselves, mentally and physically, so that we don’t feel devastated. The best way to do it is to bring God into our lives.

Allah the Almighty and the Most-Merciful, has offered us a great bargain in this respect. He says:

“Therefore, remember Me, I will remember

you. Give thanks to Me, and reject not Me.”

(al-Quran 2:152)

Allah the Merciful has also given us a great prescription to seek His help. He tells us in the Quran:

“Seek help in patience and prayer; and truly

it is hard except for the humble-minded.”

(al-Quran 2:45)

The One who brought us in this world, will take care of us too, provided we do what HE tells us to do. Be grateful to Him under all circumstances. Every calamity comes from Him and HE is the One who can get us out of it. Show some perseverance and stay on course. Don’t chase your wild desires in vain, and don’t ever get greedy. Greed is the base of all evils. Try to learn to be content with whatever Allah has blessed you with.

Don’t ever forget that Allah is going to question you about everything you possessed in this world; and what you did with it. He blessed you with so many things in this world and He will ask you how you used those things to help the needy and mankind in general. Therefore, seek His forgiveness! Invoke Him with all His beautiful names and ask Him alone for help.

“O you who believe! Seek help in steadfastness

and prayer! Lo, Allah is with the steadfast.”

(al-Quran 2:153)

Remember one thing! If things are going your way, you are a very lucky person on earth. But if things are not going your way, you are even luckier, because then they are going God’s way. And His is the best way, as He knows how to run the world efficiently. Don’t look at others who are better off and richer than you. Look at those who are less fortunate than you, and I guarantee you there are millions in this world. Don’t settle for a ‘bad’ bargain! If you are striving for a comfortable, nice and luxury life, with all the pomp and show, in this world, Allah might give you that. But that is the bad bargain I am referring to. For a comfortable life of this world, you are destroying the life in the Hereafter. Allah has warned us in the Quran:

“Whoso desires the life of the world and its

pomp, We shall repay them their deeds herein,

and therein they will not be wronged. Those are

they for whom is naught in the Hereafter save the

Fire. All that they contrive here is vain and all

that they are wont to do is fruitless.”

(al-Quran 11:15-16)

Imagine those people in Africa, especially in Somalia and Ethiopia, Yemen, etc., who have nothing to eat, no clean water to drink, no nice clothes to wear, no refrigerators when the temperature is above 50c degrees, no air-conditioners, not even electricity, no cars, no vacations, no birthday parties, no cakes and cookies! Most of them are surviving on corn and muddy water. Everyday they wait for somebody to bring them some good news – some food of any kind. They look up to people like you and me to help them get out of this misery. They look up to us to give them life. They can really say that life is harsh and they are going through rough and tough times.

As Muslims, we should ask ourselves: What are we doing for our fellow human beings? Can’t we see the commands of the Almighty in the Holy Quran? He says:

“Give the kinsman his due, and the needy, and

the wayfarer, and squander not (thy wealth) in

wantonness.”

(al-Quran 17:26)

“Spend your wealth for the cause of Allah, and

cast not (yourselves) by your own hands to ruin;

and do good! Lo, Allah loves the beneficent.”

(al-Quran 2:195)

All our lives we struggle and try hard to accumulate as much wealth as possible because we believe that it is the wealth than will solve all our problems. Wealth can solve only economic problems, but at the same time can create many social and moral ills.

The best things to ask Allah for, are His mercy, forgiveness, compassion, contentment, good health and the courage to stand for truth & justice; and of course the patience to follow the ‘right path’ with steadfastness!
