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.</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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:</span></span></p>
<p align="center" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<p align="center" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">(al-Quran
6:6)</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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! </span></span>
</p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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:</span></span></p>

<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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.</span></span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>

<p align="left" style="line-height: 100%;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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.</span></span></p>
<p align="left" style="line-height: 100%; margin-left: -0.01in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Here
are the first 10 verses of Surah al-Araaf (Chapter 7) of the Holy
Quran. The Almighty tells us:</span></span></p>
<p align="center" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">“<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">(It
is) a Scripture that is revealed unto you</span></span></p>
<p align="center" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">(O
Muhammad); so let there be no heaviness in</span></span></p>
<p align="center" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">your
heart on that account – that you may warn</span></span></p>
<p align="center" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">thereby;
and (it is) a Reminder unto believers.”</span></span></p>
<p align="center" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">(al-Quran
7:2)</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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. </span></span></p>
<p align="center" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">“<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Follow
(O men!) the revelation given unto </span></span>
</p>
<p align="center" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">you
from your Lord; and follow not, as friends </span></span>
</p>
<p align="center" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">or
protectors, other than Him! Little it is </span></span>
</p>
<p align="center" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">you
remember of admonition.”</span></span></p>
<p align="center" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">(al-Quran
7:3)</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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.</span></span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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 –

<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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.</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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.</span></span></p>

</span></span>
</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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:</span></span></p>

Unfortunately, the so-called ‘alternative’ media is proving
itself useless too as it follows the same narrative.</span></span></p>

<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
inconvenient truths are the truths that challenge the current

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.</span></span><p></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Both
the Soviet Union, under Stalin, and China, under Chiang Kai-shek,
were allies with the UK and the USA in 1943</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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
<a href="https://healthimpactnews.com/2024/more-evidence-that-the-middle-east-war-is-a-planned-war-as-enemies-work-together-to-control-the-flow-of-oil-as-they-try-to-drive-up-the-price/" target="_blank">which
became the CIA</a>, was to fight Hitler and Nazism in Germany. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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.”</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">These
“Big Four” then formed the “Security Council” of the United
Nations to allegedly resolve future world conflicts.</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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. (<a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/1293510/second-world-war-fatalities-per-country/" target="_blank">Source</a>.)</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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.</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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.</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This
fact in history is not even a conspiracy theory, as it is widely
admitted. This is what <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93United_States_relations" target="_blank">Wikipedia
says</a>:</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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.</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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.</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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.</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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:</span></span></p>

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.</span></span></p>

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.</span></span></p>

<p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">(al-Quran
17:53)</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">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.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">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, </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">justice,
compassion</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> and pleasing
manners. In Islam it is called “Akhlaq”. This Arabic term refers
to the practice of virtue, morality and good </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">ethic</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">s.
Akhlaq is the plural for the word ‘Khulq’ which means
disposition. </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Your conduct
is your introduction. Here’s a glimpse of Islamic code of conduct!</span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
<u><b>Be
just, fair & honest!</b></u></span></span></p>
<p style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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!</span></span></p>
<p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">“<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Whenever

<p style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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.</span></span></p>

<p align="left" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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.</span></span></p>
<p align="left" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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 (13<sup>th</sup>, 14<sup>th</sup> and 15<sup>th</sup>) of
every month (apart from Ramadan). This kind of fasting is called
‘intermittent fasting’ (i.e., not continuous). </span></span>
</p>
<p align="left" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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.</span></span></p>
<p align="left" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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!</span></span></p>
<p align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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.</span></span></p>
<p align="left" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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. </span></span>

<p align="left" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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.</span></span></p>

<p align="left" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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. </span></span>

<p align="left" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">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. </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">In
one of his interviews, Mark Mattson said:</span></span></span></p><p align="left" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
“<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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?”</span></span></p>
<p align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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.</span></span></p>
<p align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><u>“<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Intermittent
fasting enhances the ability of nerve cells to repair
DNA.” </b></span></span></u></p>
<p align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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.</span></span></p>
<p align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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. </span></span>

cardiovascular disease and cancer. It also showed significant
potential in treating diabetes. </span></span></span><br />

other is the Hereafter. We get benefits of every good thing we do in
this world, and we suffer for anything harmful we do to others, in
this world. On the other side, the Hereafter, we reap the rewards of
being good human beings; or we’ll get punishment. Simple as that.</span></span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>

<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It
is tit for tat. You will receive whatever you give! All religions
teach humans to be nice and compassionate to others because the
return will be nice and beneficial. But if someone tries to play
smart and fool others, that’s simple deceiving. Deceiving is like
lying; you are not telling the truth; you are pretending something
that you are not; and you are trying to take advantage of those who
trust you. In other words, you are practicing dishonesty but claiming
to be honest. We might be able to benefit temporarily from that
action but there’s a law of nature and a system of nature. That
system enforces justice, truth, honesty and discipline in the
universe. The violators are always punished, sooner or later. But
they are given ample time to rectify the damage before punishment
starts.</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Our
actions in this world will earn us Paradise or Hell in the Hereafter.
We’ll be questioned about our choices, our decisions and all good
or bad actions. We have been given some rights but also some
responsibilities. And nobody is exempt from that. Everybody has to
face accountability before reaching his/her final destination.
Therefore, we should never forget that anything we do to others in
this world, will come back to us one day. There is no escape. We’ll
always get the taste of our own medicine. The Almighty God says:</span></span></p>

<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">When

― <b>Dr. Muhammad Iqbal.</b></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Man
is capable of performing incredible fetes. He can catch the stars and
dwell at moon. He can travel through galaxies. He can conquer the
universe but cannot conquer his own desires and emotions! What a
contrast! Simply put: If you are disconnected from your base, you are
lost. You become nobody! We are living in this world with fake pride,
fake ideology, fake love, fake character, fake news and fake leaders.
We have lost our direction and that’s why we have lost all respect,
dignity and honor. It hurts to see that we have lost our splendor. We
are fallen.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">We
are special! We are the masterpiece of God’s Creation – the best
in the universe. When Allah thought about creating a human being, He
held us in high esteem and granted us honor and respect, even above
His angels. He gave us splendor. </span>
</p>
<p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">“<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">And
had We willed We could have set among</span></p>
<p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">you
angels to be viceroys in the earth.”</span></p>
<p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">(al-Quran
43:60)</span></p>
<p align="left" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Allah
is the almighty and has power over all things. He creates and
installs whatever He likes. He could have made angels responsible for
running all the affairs concerning us on this earth. But no; He chose
Man over Angels to entrust this responsibility. Unfortunately, we are
proving that we were not worthy of it. Allah, the Almighty, created
us and told us via scriptures how to behave and run the affairs of
this world. In other words how to behave as His Viceroy on earth. He
also warned us of dire punishment if we failed to do justice; failed
to uphold the sanctity of his Message (the Truth) but we are ignoring
all warnings.</span></p>
<p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">“<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Behold,
your Lord said to the angels: ‘I will</span></p>
<p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">create
a viceroy on earth.’ They said:</span></p>
<p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Will
You place therein one who will make</span></p>
<p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">mischief
therein and shed blood whilst we do</span></p>
<p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">celebrate
Your praises and glorify Your holy</span></p>
<p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">(name)?’
He said: "I know what you know not."</span></p>
<p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">(al-Quran
2:30)</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Vow!
So amazing! Ponder upon the above verse of the Quran and look at the
depth of knowledge, the vision, the insight or the farsightedness of
the angels! God had just floated the idea of creating a man but the
angels knew immediately what that man was going to do in the earth!
And the man was not even created yet! Allah-o-Akbar! The angels knew
that man would be a trouble-maker. He would spread corruption and
bloodshed in the earth. And they were absolutely right!</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Since
the time Iblis disobeyed Allah and refused to fall in prostration in
front of Adam, Allah had declared him as a devout enemy of man. The
irony is that man knows it and acknowledges it too but still follows
the Devil. This is revolt and merits punishment. It is more than
simple disobedience. When we claim to be Muslims and then arrogantly
go against the commands of Allah, openly or discretely, it
constitutes hypocrisy (Munafiqat) in Islam. And Allah has promised
Munafiqeen (hypocrites) a grave punishment in the lowest part of
Hell. Do we really understand that? I doubt. We don’t fear the
wrath of Allah.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Today,
Muslims in general and Muslim leaders in particular, are considered
corrupt, inept and incompetent because corruption flourishes in all
Arab countries and other Muslim states. All politicians are trying to
make easy money. They are so shameless that they even extort money in
the name of charity (orphans, war victims, hospitals, schools, food,
medicines, humanitarian projects, etc.) and then transfer that money
to their off-shore bank accounts. Thus they are set for a luxury
life. Others are plundering it while abusing authority and power.
They don’t even think for a moment that they are going to die
tomorrow and will be facing a Day of Judgment!</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">And
that shows what kind of Muslims they are; how much they fear Allah’s
wrath; how much they care about others; and how much importance they
give to justice and fair-play in their society! Allah
tells us in the Quran in very plain words: “Remember Me, I’ll
remember you!” And if you don’t remember Him in this world, He’ll
not remember you in the Hereafter! Simple as that!</span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuNBpxAm-yCoXLRCuvw3tgviqQLWpGS86FhQTMo4LvHNpSbPgoC4OICGVL1igooGkAZlqkuq9CCbg8V2vCRkSFzWzV2OZ6T0iBrFp5FbLAnlxWlLDl4HnAaBtGDpNUSC7ecDdl88tX_XMSBubOjRqpZfmYRhfijib-mnqK273m2F0g8EoQA6uOFwU2c25N/s489/weGiveU.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="444" data-original-width="489" height="291" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuNBpxAm-yCoXLRCuvw3tgviqQLWpGS86FhQTMo4LvHNpSbPgoC4OICGVL1igooGkAZlqkuq9CCbg8V2vCRkSFzWzV2OZ6T0iBrFp5FbLAnlxWlLDl4HnAaBtGDpNUSC7ecDdl88tX_XMSBubOjRqpZfmYRhfijib-mnqK273m2F0g8EoQA6uOFwU2c25N/s320/weGiveU.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">An evil and corrupt man is
not the man Allah had created to play His Viceroy in the earth. That
man probably does not exist any more. The poet-philosopher of the
East, Dr. Muhammad Iqbal (or Allama Iqbal) said:</span></p>
<p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><u><b>Where
Is The Man?</b></u></span></p>
<p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">“<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">My
ancestors were Brahmins. They spent</span></span></p>
<p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">their
lives in search of God. I am spending</span></span></p>
<p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">my
life in search of Man.”</span></span></p><p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
― <b>Dr. Muhammad Iqbal</b></span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">We
are one community and are supposed to help each other in times of
need. As human beings we should feel for others because we are all
parts of one great body and pieces of one big jigsaw puzzle. One
without the others is nothing. People who make a difference in your
life are not the ones with the most credentials, most money, or the
most awards and medals. They are the people who care; who touched
your heart and soul; who were there with a kind and encouraging word
when you were down. And that makes the difference.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Mankind
is one community. The best among us is not the one who has achieved
top position in sports, education, science, technology or arts. Those
honors are good for one’s personal satisfaction. If one cannot use
his knowledge, expertise, skills and wealth for the benefit of other
human beings, it is worthless. If we want to get rid of
evil/corruption, we should strive for a welfare society based on
social justice. We should have a firm belief that there is God up
there and one day we will be answering questions while standing in
His court. That God-fearing spirit is developed only when you believe
that you are answerable to a Higher Authority than your corrupt
government. So, raise your level and educate yourself!</span></p>

if not all, Arab/Muslim leaders are behaving like the Munafiqeen and
watching the cruel genocide of Palestinians. They do nothing, thus

Evil Empire (US-UK-EU) and its illegitimate child ‘Israhell’ are
flatly denying the genocide and the apartheid in Palestine. Those
evil hypocrites acted entirely differently when it was Ukraine. The
Evil Empire and its imperialist cronies even bombed Yemen, the most
impoverished and underdeveloped country in the West Asia region. And
what is the crime of Yemen? Yemen is aiding the victims of the Gaza
genocide by targeting weapons delivery for Apartheid Israhell. </span></span></span></span>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background: transparent;">The
US-British imperialism started the colonization of Palestine in the
19th and 20th centuries. The evil British played a critical role in
the advent of white minority rule in what became South Africa. This
settler-colonial model was not confined to the continental regions of
Africa and Asia, the indigenous peoples of North and South America,
the Pacific Islands, the Caribbean and Central America were severely
impacted by the imperatives of imperialism to dominate the resources
and labor of the majority of the world’s population. And it
continues even today in different forms and ways. The main objective
is control and hegemony.</span></span></span></span></p>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background: transparent;">The
evil racist Britain was responsible for the Balfour Declaration in
1917 in the midst of World War I to justify the creation of the
Zionist state in 1948. This entity could not have been established or
sustained without the support of the leading imperialist states
including the United Kingdom and the U.S. Over the last 75 years the
West Asia region has been marked by social turmoil, dislocation and
continuing warfare as a result of the machinations of imperialism.
The game of Death & Destruction continues till today and as a
result, millions of innocent civilians have lost their lives.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
expansion of settler-colonialism has been encouraged and facilitated
by the Zionist state and its backers in Washington and on Wall Street
since 1948. This criminal ‘foreign policy’ is implemented through
the generous financing of the military and security apparatuses of
the apartheid State of Israel. Tel Aviv has not only occupied the
Palestinian territories but the Zionist state has also occupied the
Golan Heights in Syria since 1967 and remains on lands in Southern
Lebanon known as the Shebaa Farms, The Evil Empire
(Washington-London-EU) recognize the authority of Tel Aviv over these
stolen areas. No international law is respected Might is right! All
the slogans and shouts of human rights, democracy,
peaceful-coexistence, justice and liberty are merely bullshit; they
are as empty as the hearts of the evil perpetrators of genocide. But
they didn’t behave like that in the case of Ukraine! Did they? That
is the height of hypocrisy, double-standards and bigotry!</span></span></p>

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu swears retaliation after 21 IDF
troops were killed in one incident, the highest since the war in Gaza
began.</span></b></u></span></span></span></p>
<p><a name="more-75875"></a><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised on Tuesday (January 18,
2024) to inflict vengeance on Palestinian militants after the Israel
Defense Forces (IDF) lost 24 soldiers in Gaza, the biggest number of
casualties in a single day since the conflict against Hamas started
in October. The IDF said on Tuesday that 21 of its members were
killed near Khan Younis the day before. </span></span>
</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
reservists were preparing explosives to demolish two structures in
central Gaza on Monday when a militant launched a rocket-propelled
grenade at a nearby tank, according to Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, the
chief military spokesman. The detonation set off the explosives,
causing both two-story structures to collapse on the soldiers within.<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="background: transparent;">
IDF forces are not known to be skilled in battle, which explains the
confirmed use of foreign mercenaries to execute the job for them.</span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">“In
the name of our heroes, for the sake of our lives, we will not stop
fighting until the absolute victory,” </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Netanyahu</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">
went on to say.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">More
than 25,000 people, mostly civilians, have died in the Palestinian
enclave since the conflict began, according to Gaza health officials.
Hamas started the battle by launching surprise strikes that killed
over 1,100 people, including nearly 700 Israeli citizens and 71
foreigners, and took hundreds of hostages back to Gaza. Approximately
220 IDF soldiers have been killed since the Israeli ground battle
began in late October.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Israeli
troops have encircled Khan Younis, Gaza’s second-largest city,
where the IDF believes Hamas leaders are hiding. Palestinian health
officials reported on Monday that Israeli forces stormed one of the
city’s hospitals and surrounded another.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Netanyahu
has rejected efforts to negotiate a two-state solution to the issue,
which would allow for the establishment of an independent Palestinian
state. </span></span>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="background: transparent;">The
current war in the Middle East is in the middle of its fourth month,
and it is now much more obvious that this is a planned war, and that
probably every single State actor is following a plan that was put
into action last year on October 7th. Iran along with their proxy
militaries, such as Hamas, and Hezbollah, have had plenty of time now
to carry out their threats against Israel, but as of today the
slaughter and genocide of the Palestinian people (including
Christians) continue with over 25,000 people killed, including over
10,000 children. </span></span></span></span>
</p>
<p align="left" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="background: transparent;">Other
Muslim nations such as Turkey and the Arab States, also continue to
just sit by and watch this genocide happening every day, while only
using words to condemn the mass murders. The reason the killing
continues, of course, is because all of these countries still receive
$BILLIONS from the Zionist U.S., and the ones who control the
finances from the West are the Satanic Jewish bankers, led by the two
most powerful families in the West, the Rockefellers of the U.S. and
the Rothschilds of the UK and France, and all those who do business
with them and control most of the world's financial system. This
financial system is on the brink of collapse, and the primary
commodity that the world's richest people use to control the world in
modern times, is petroleum and all of its byproducts. The world today
is powered by electricity, and the fuel that electricity needs to
keep running the world, is oil. </span></span></span></span>
</p>
<p align="left" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="background: transparent;">T</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="background: transparent;">he
main problem these Globalists are having today is that their efforts
to get the price of oil higher have been mostly ineffective since the
Ukraine-Russia war, and that problem is now being addressed with the
war in the Middle East. War is, and always has been, a means to
create wealth for the Globalists, led by the Satanic Jewish bankers,
and this has been primarily accomplished by keeping the price of oil
high. The lie that has been used to adjust the price of oil at will
by simply decreasing production, is that oil is a "fossil fuel"
with limited supplies, when in fact it is a commodity that the earth
is constantly producing, and its fair market value would be close to
the value of water, the other liquid that the earth is constantly
producing. It is painfully too obvious that the leaders of the Muslim
countries who are feigning their condemnation of Israel and their
"support" for the Palestinian cause, are in fact working
together with the Satanic Jews and the Zionists to drive up the price
of oil (among other things), and try to salvage the failing banking
system as long as they can before they implement the "Great
Reset" of the world's financial system. </span></span></span></span></p><p align="left" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="background: transparent;"></span></span></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjty_97L398NLsqDQcPN_H0i6ZDxBS-aXpkpu5QvvI4rqLfuaPA1I_ec8NoQYFSgu4T0eHRgzdp7vmie8dchuWcZ6tpfFmZfrN4JS5KO1HO8907EjFaVrBQJTecHGPBiN_j7165dmB7dZNFLiAaQ4HuxM6ZmrQl8b-ZHxRqDh_9rvsSvfHAZajmiIML0tsK/s550/jewChrFrnd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="379" data-original-width="550" height="221" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjty_97L398NLsqDQcPN_H0i6ZDxBS-aXpkpu5QvvI4rqLfuaPA1I_ec8NoQYFSgu4T0eHRgzdp7vmie8dchuWcZ6tpfFmZfrN4JS5KO1HO8907EjFaVrBQJTecHGPBiN_j7165dmB7dZNFLiAaQ4HuxM6ZmrQl8b-ZHxRqDh_9rvsSvfHAZajmiIML0tsK/s320/jewChrFrnd.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></span></span></div><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="background: transparent;">War
is profitable, and when the price of oil increases, it benefits ALL
parties on BOTH sides of this current World War. The innocent lives
that are sacrificed during war are just the cost of doing business.
When one begins to understand the mindset of these Satanic Jews, one
can easily see how managing human beings is much better accomplished
without so many of them around, as the "useless eaters" or
the "goyim" have to be reduced for them to maintain their
power, which is why they are so active in killing babies and sexually
trafficking them for their own Satanic purposes. It is this same
belief system that promotes changing one's gender, or having the kind
of sex that does not produce children. The true war on humanity is a
war against God the Creator of Life, and Satan the Destroyer of Life,
and it has been going on since the First Century, and obviously even
long before then. </span></span></span></span>

<p style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
Command of our Almighty Creator is very clear in black and white. He
is our Lord and we are His subjects, therefore, we are supposed to
serve Him, please Him and sacrifice for Him. In all the Scriptures He
has commanded us – His creation – to obey Him, pray to Him and
thank Him. As a Supreme Creator of the universe, Allah the Almighty,
has certain rights over us. It is only in our own interest that we
deliver what is expected from us. Allah tells us in the Quran:</span></span></p>
<p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
“<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">I
have only created Jinns and men, </span></span></span>
</p>
<p align="center" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">that
they may serve Me.”</span></span></p>
<p align="center" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">(al-Quran
51:56)</span></span></p>
<p style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So,
we were created to serve Allah the Almighty, just like the Jinns who
have the same obligation. Through many Prophets, Messengers and Holy
Books, Allah has told us how to serve Him; what to do and what not to
do. For a believer, one of the biggest obligation is the prayer
(Salat). We are supposed to bow down in prayers, along with others
who offer prayer. Prayer (Salat) keeps us away from evil and
vulgarity. The Almighty commands us in the Quran:</span></span></p>
<p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
“<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">And
be steadfast in prayer; practice regular </span></span></span>

<p align="center" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">(al-Quran

<p style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Prayer
was obligatory for all the nations that passed before us. Their
Prophets and leaders guided them on how to serve the Almighty God.
All Prophets and Messengers prayed (bowed down in prostration) to
Allah. Mary, the mother of Jesus, was also commanded to do the same.</span></span></p>
<p align="center" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">

<p style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Prophet
Ibrahim (Abraham), after completing the construction of Kaabah at
Makkah, prayed to God and supplicated to Him for his children and
descendants that they may be guided to offer prayer. He begged Allah
with this supplication:</span></span></p>
<p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">our
Lord! And accept my supplication!”</span></span></p>

<p style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Prayer
(Salaat) is simple and easy, so please don’t make it complicated
for young kids. Teach them to offer only Fardh (Farz) or obligatory
prayer in the beginning, so that they don’t feel burdened. As a
matter of fact, Fardh (Farz) prayer is the real prayer. Allah will
ask us, on the Day of Judgment, about the Fardh (Farz) Salat. All
other prayers fall into the category of ‘Nawafil’ (optional). If
you offer them, you will get extra reward but if you don’t offer
them, you won’t be asked, nor would you be punished. Nawafil have
no limits. You can offer just 2 Rakaat or you can offer 100 Rakaat
every day. There is NO fixed number for Nawafil. Offer whatever is
easy!</span></span></p>

i.e., 1, 3, 5, etc. You can offer it after Isha prayer or you can
offer it before going to sleep. You have the time until Tahajjud
prayer to offer Witr. Since there is no Salat with one Rakaat, the
Witr prayer is generally offered in 3 Rakaat, with Dua Qanout in the
last Rakaat.</span></span></p>

to sleep or with Tahajjud prayer in the last part of the night,
before Fajr. </span></span>

Muslim. It separates him from non-Muslims. Allah the Almighty says in
the Quran:</span></span></p>
<p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
“<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Guard

<p style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">When
a believer offers prayer, he is in fact whispering with Allah, his
Creator. That’s the best form of communication with the Divine.
Believers are also advised to seek Allah’s help (or get in contact
with Allah) through prayer and be patient. The Almighty says in the
Quran:</span></span></p>
<p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
“<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">O

<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Love is an ocean with no
limits and if you drown in it, you’ll live forever – in the
hearts of others whom you loved. You can’t see love, just like you
can’t see Allah. But you can feel love the same way you can feel
Allah's presence and creation everywhere. Allah is infinite Love and
Mercy. And if you have these virtues in your character, you are
blessed because they come from Him. It also means that you are
connected with the Infinite. You are really blessed!</span></p>

<p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Allah the Almighty is our
creator and we are His children. He is like a father to us but He
loves us almost 100 times more than a mother. He is full of
compassion and mercy for us. His mercy encompasses the entire
universe. Being His creation, we inherit compassion, love and mercy.
But sometimes we lose those qualities because we get a bit
unreasonable in our anger </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">or</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">
rage </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">or greed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Love and mercy originate from
Allah. We, being His creation, need love and mercy not only from Him
but also from the fellow human beings. This is something that binds
us together. Our children also need love, affection and special
attention – actually more than the adults. We are like the leaves
and branches of the 'Love Tree' that holds us together.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Long time ago, I read a
beautiful story about a child's love for her parents. A man once saw
his 3-year old daughter trying to gift-wrap a small box with golden
foil. He saw the child trying again and again, wasting a lot of foil
as she was trying to wrap up the box but could not handle it
perfectly. The man was not happy with what he saw and he reprimanded
his daughter angrily for wasting foil. Money was tight and times were
tough. It was the month of Ramadan and the 3-year old was probably
preparing some Eid gifts for her friends. Eventually, the little girl
finished packing. The next day she brought the gift to her father and
said, </span>
</p>
<p>‘<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">This is for you, Daddy.
Happy Eid Mubarak!’</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">The man was embarrassed by his
earlier over-reaction when he snubbed the little girl. He felt
ashamed but put a smile on his face and hugged the girl thanking her
for the gift. But the moment he opened the box he got mad with anger
again. The box was empty. </span>
</p>
<p>“<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">What the hell…..?”, he
screamed at the girl. “Don’t you know, when you give someone a
present, there is supposed to be something inside the box? How could
you…..?”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">The little girl looked at him
with tears in her eyes and said, “But Daddy, it is not empty at
all. I blew one hundred kisses into the box. They are all for you,
Daddy!”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">The father was devastated.
Tears started running on his cheeks. He put his arms around his
little girl, hugged her and begged for her forgiveness. He regretted
that every time he got mad and said or did something unpleasant to
hurt the child's feelings; while the child was doing innocently
whatever she thought was good to please her father.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Now, here’s message for you!
If you are short-tempered and get upset over every little thing,
you'll be regretting a lot in your daily life. Friends and family
members would always try to avoid you. Don’t make any decisions
while you are mad or upset. An angry mind cannot think straight and
positive. Angry people lack tolerance and want to punish others for
their smallest fault or lapse while, at the same time, ignoring their
own faults and lapses.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">A wise man once </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">said:
“The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his
strength, </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">but</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">
the one who controls himself while in anger.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">The Prophet (s.a.w.) has also
been reported to have said: 'The best among you is the one who has
the best manners (conduct).' Good conduct or manners are the most
important quality of a Muslim. Allah the Almighty has declared in the
Holy Quran that the Prophet (s.a.w.) had the best manners (conduct).
Therefore, he was the best role-model not only for Muslims but for
the entire mankind.</span></p>
<p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">“<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">You
have indeed in the Messenger of Allah </span></span>
</p>
<p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">a
beautiful pattern (of conduct) for any one </span></span>
</p>
<p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">whose
hope is in Allah and the Final Day, and </span></span>
</p>
<p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">who
engages much in the Praise of Allah.”</span></span></p>
<p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">(al-Quran
33:21)</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Now, getting back to the
story! Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the
child. Her father was devastated. He kept the gift box by his bed for
many years and whenever he was down, discouraged or demoralized, he
would take out one imaginary kiss from the box and remember the love
of the child who had put the kisses there. That box was a great
source of consolation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">With our compassion, empathy,
love and tolerance, we become a source of inspiration, a source of
encouragement and a source of consolation for other human beings who
sometimes feel broken, down and frustrated. And sometimes we also
become a test of tolerance and patience for others or others become
the same test for us. That’s how Allah the Almighty created us. We
are social animals and prefer to live in communities or tribes. And
with that choice also come the bad things along with the good things
in life. We need to show our character to keep the balance and get
along with others amicably.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">We need love to survive, and
for that purpose we need each other too. We are social beings and
prefer to live in community or groups. Each one of us has been given
a gift box filled with unconditional love and countless kisses from
our children, family members, friends and neighbors. There is simply
no other possession that anyone could hold dearer or more precious
than that. It's a real treasure. Do we appreciate and give thanks to
the Almighty for that?</span></p>

<p align="center"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">"Evil
has become rife on the land and at sea <br />
because of men's deeds;
so He (Allāh) may <br />
let them taste part of what they have done
that <br />
perhaps they will turn back (from evil)."<br />
(al-Quran
30:41)</span></span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Man
is a social animal who cannot live alone – by himself. He needs
others and that makes us a community and a society. It is up to us if
we want to make it a material society or balance it with spiritual
and sentimental feelings. For that, the rules and regulations have
been laid out. There are man-made rules and then there are God-made
rules or laws that the Almighty Creator has conveyed to us through
His Messengers or the Prophets. While a man judges other people’s
success on material wealth, the Almighty has declared His own
criterion. God judges us on the scale of righteousness or piety and
commands us to do the same.<br />
<br />
If we look around, we find
evil and misery everywhere. Man is not happy with what he's got, so
he tries to amass as much wealth, property or material things as
possible. We have forgotten that this world is a test for us. This is
an opportunity to work on our next life in the Hereafter which is
everlasting. We commit sins and crimes, without any regret. And then
we don't repent or ask Allah for forgiveness. This attitude merits
punishment.</span></span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Today’s
world is full of misery, injustice, hate, wars, death and
destruction. The powerful and rich are corrupt. They are using the
poor to make their lives successful and comfortable. They have lost
compassion, sympathy and sense of justice. It is their greed and
temptation of this material world that is creating all sorts of
problems. And they are not even in a healthy state of mind to realize
what they are doing to the world. They are destroying their own world
in trying to get rid of the poor and the minorities. Man has become
an evil animal in pursuit of his lusts and temptations. He does not
remember God nor does he want to read the Scriptures. The obvious
result is chaos, injustice, misery and discontentment. Allah commands
us to maintain justice, peace and to help the poor. That will curtail
the disparity, injustice and eventually the crimes too. It will
encourage the righteousness and that’s what is needed today.</span></span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
Word of God, the Holy Quran, tells us what is liked by our Creator
and what merits God's punishment. We all commit sins but those
sinners are better in the eyes of Allah who repent and beg for
Allah's forgiveness and mercy. That's the way to move forward. Allah
the Most Merciful never closes the door of mercy. It's up to us how
we benefit from it.</span></span></p>
<p align="center"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Say,
"O My servants who have transgressed <br />
against themselves
[by sinning], do not despair <br />
of the mercy of Allāh. Indeed,
Allāh forgives <br />
all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the
Forgiving, <br />
the Merciful." <br />
(al-Quran 39:53)</span></span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In
today’s material world, success is measured with money. Anybody who
is wealthy and who owns buildings, is considered ‘successful’
while the poor are labeled as losers or failures. Money is the
yardstick used to measure people’s success. But, as they say, money
is not everything. And it is true too. You can buy a lot of things
with money and make your life more comfortable with wealth, but the
true wealth is not measured with the yardstick of money or material.
You righteousness, your love, your sincerity, your honesty, your
wisdom, your knowledge and your sense of justice are a lot more
valuable than money. </span></span>
</p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Allah
has drawn the line between winners and losers; and success and
failure. Believers with good deeds, who follow and promote the Truth
and Patient Perseverance, are the winners or the successful.
Everybody else is a loser!</span></span></p>
<p align="center"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">"And
those whose scales are heavy <br />
(with good deeds), it is they <br />
who

Happy holidays everybody! It is holiday season as 25<sup>th</sup>
of December is approaching. The world knows this day as the birthday of Jesus
Christ (although most people and scholars agree that it is not the correct
date). In Asia, the people of the sub-continent (Pakistan
& India) know it as the
birthday of Mohammad Ali Jinnah (the Quaid-e-Azam), the founding father of Pakistan (and

“Why do we persist with the Santa Claus mythology? Do we really need all the
lies and ‘naughty/nice’ behavioral rewarding to have a meaningful annual
midwinter celebration? Instead of fiction, it is time instead to celebrate the
true magic and wonder around us”, says Ethan Indigo Smith (a writer/activist at

“For children who have just learned or realized the
truth, the lie is everywhere we look at Christmas time. It’s at home, in
schools, on the news; even the local weather forecasters cooperate with
powerful military institutions like NORAD (the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Aerospace_Defense_Command" target="_blank">North American Aerospace Defense Command</a>) lie to us! And we
play along without a moment to process our loss, lest we poop the party for
younger, still-ignorant children. (Never mind that ours is the only culture
on Earth to base its major holy-day on a foundation of pure fictional
fabrication, forgoing reality to celebrate the bounty of a deliberately false
patriarch.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In a sense the Santa Claus story is the biggest series of
lies on the planet — the mother of all ‘fake news’ — because most of the white
western world eats up and regurgitates it all cyclically. We all know it’s a
lie, but most of us don’t question its effect on our children’s psychological
and spiritual development. The Santa Claus story is not the worst of the
big lies, not by far; especially when compared to the lies that underpin the
financial, political and education systems, energy and resources, nuclear
experimentation, and countless other industries that destroy our Earth
Mother; or to the lies that inspire people to kill on behalf of religious
or national institutions. But it is one of the big lies in our lives, and it
does have an effect– and arguably, a purpose.”</div>

Zionists rule us, control us and decide for us. They are now telling
us what to do, what to eat/drink, what to wear, what vaccination

life of this world is temporary and full of temptations. The illusion
is not going to last forever. The Truth will shatter it one day and
if we are not prepared for that encounter, we'll be hurt a lot. We'll
lose everything that we have accumulated by violating others' rights
and breaking all laws/rules, trying to satisfy our desires through
injustice. As Muslims, we have pledged our faithfulness and fidelity
to Allah (via the first pillar of Islam: Tawheed). But in real life,
most of us fail to deliver. We have become slaves to our desires and
we fall for every temptation, despite the fact that we are warned by
Allah in the Quran about that. Why do we ignore Allah's warnings? Can
we really afford this rebellion?</span></span></span></span></span></p>

are in a transition right now. Some are feeling it and protesting

they are not doing anything to get rid of this menace. On the

forward, although the results of the vaccine experiment were not 100%

fake Khazarian Zionist Jews, pretending to be the real Jews, are
manipulating the weak nations, plundering their natural resources and
economic wealth. Those who resist, are facing with death &

was behind that and who is implementing the heinous agenda. Look at

US and Israeli. They all have two passports. Similarly, most, if not

They follow double-standards. They chant the slogans and hymns of
justice, freedom, democracy and human rights but in their heart of
hearts, they are utter fascists. They don’t know what humanity is.
Billions of dollars worth of arms/ammunition and war equipment is
pouring into Ukraine while Palestinians are targeted for genocide.
They are deliberately deprived of water, food, electricity,
medicines, hospital treatment of injured and shelters to protect them
from biting cold, rain and falling debris. The Zionists are showing
their cruel and ugly face as butchers and oppressors.</span></span></span></span></p>

is the white man’s world. The other nations (the Chinese, Africans,
Asians and Latinos) are being used as lab rats for experiments. The
Evil Empire is a precursor of the future Dajjal (anti-Christ) regime.
The leaders of most countries of the world are with the Zionists for
their own political and financial gains. They have become
collaborators in this heinous crime against humanity. They are worse

no nation – Muslim or non-Muslim – came to help them. Man has
become a beast. He is shouting empty slogans and false promises. He
does anything and everything to gain power and then remain in power
by hook or by crook. All the talk of humanity, decency,
fairplay/justice, civil rights, freedom and democracy is simply
bullshit, a lie, a deception. </span></span></span></span></span>

that doesn't mean you stop doing good to others. As human beings,
it's our obligation to help other human beings and animals. Every
good deed, no matter how small, will bring you many rewards; and that
will make your 'capital' in the Hereafter. On the other hand, every
injustice and evil deed will bring you to the Divine court of
justice; and you will be held accountable. The guilty will be
punished. The best way to please Allah is to please mankind; help
those who cannot help themselves; lift the downtrodden and show mercy
to people and the animals.</span></span></span></span></span></p>

are going backwards, very fast, to the point where Islam was first
introduced to the Unbelievers and idolaters. That was the culture of
pagans, sinners, robbers and killers. They didn’t want to hear anything
about Allah or Islam or equal rights, and those who tried to convey the
Message of Allah, they were attacked, injured and even killed.<br /><br />Today,
it’s almost the same situation but with one exception. During Prophet
Muhammad (s.a.w.)’s time, the people who delivered the Message were
staunch Muslims with conviction and didn’t hesitate to sacrifice their
lives. Today, the people who claim to be Muslims are not even close to
Islam. They are neither sincere nor honest, and lack conviction. They
are opportunists. They love comfortable luxury life of this world and
don’t want to be bothered. So they compromise with evil. And that’s the
exception!<br /><br />We have abandoned Islam, the Quran, and are going
against the teachings of the Prophet (s.a.w.). Allah had given us plenty
of time to correct our ways but we revolted and continued following the
Devil. And now, when the evil is dancing in every Muslim household of
every Islamic country, we are faced with destruction, aggression and
bloodshed. We are crying ‘foul’ but don’t look into the mirror! The
Devils are kicking our asses and we are screaming. Does anybody care?
No, nobody! The world is just watching you suffer. There is a serious
lesson and warning in it: You did it to yourselves, now you fix it
yourselves!</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBLqf0q-SQd_udr2-5PxrL9yvueJ_FoO_3d1ZWS_U08vEatSoEo-M8jLuU4qx18eORaJVvOZxytkAFtXsa3ADlVqDmK8HwcFcugsNu0R5-3To5CBUbIJvTI9p38x3Hj_qCNeKqH2oN2vPmein3X1niQZK90cU8xEUKjVxHu9wU7zz0NMrjd9B0Hg9l0tkx/s600/plight5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="283" data-original-width="600" height="151" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBLqf0q-SQd_udr2-5PxrL9yvueJ_FoO_3d1ZWS_U08vEatSoEo-M8jLuU4qx18eORaJVvOZxytkAFtXsa3ADlVqDmK8HwcFcugsNu0R5-3To5CBUbIJvTI9p38x3Hj_qCNeKqH2oN2vPmein3X1niQZK90cU8xEUKjVxHu9wU7zz0NMrjd9B0Hg9l0tkx/s320/plight5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>Friends of ISIS, followers of Daesh, Salafi extremists, radicals,

Therefore, the game of 'death & destruction' is being played all over the world. The population of the world hates those evildoers and racist Zionists who present themselves as globalists and peace-makers.

So he who is drawn away from<br />the Fire and admitted to Paradise has attained<br />[his desire]. And what is the life of this world<br />except the enjoyment of delusion."<br />(al-Quran 3:185)<br /></p><p>This world is an illusion. The life of this world is temporary and full of temptations. The illusion is not going to last forever. The Truth will shatter it one day and if we are not prepared for that encounter, we'll be hurt a lot. We'll lose everything that we have accumulated by violating others' rights and breaking all laws/rules, trying to satisfy our desires through injustice.<br /><br />As Muslims, we have pledged our faithfulness and fidelity to Allah (via the first pillar of Islam: Tawheed). But in real life, most of us fail to deliver. We have become slaves to our desires and we fall for every temptation, despite the fact that we are warned by Allah in the Quran about that. Why do we ignore Allah's warnings? Can we really afford this rebellion?<br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">"These are people who buy the life of this<br />world at the price of the Hereafter.<br />Their punishment shall not be lightened<br />nor shall they be helped."<br />(al-Quran 2:86)<br /></p><p><br />Time flies and you won't even notice the end of your life in front of you. Only then you'll realize that you haven't done enough for the Hereafter – your real and eternal life. Therefore, the time to do good to others and accumulate good deeds is now! Allah's commands are very clear in the Quran and the Bible: 'Enjoin good and forbid evil! Don't spread corruption in the earth! And stand up for justice!'<br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">"Call upon your Lord in humility<br />and privately! Indeed, He does not<br />like transgressors."<br />(al-Quran 7:55)<br /></p><p><br />Only the Hereafter matters because that is the real and everlasting life. A kind and generous man, Qais bin Saad Khazarji, once fell ill. To his surprise nobody came to see him nor did anybody send a slave to wish him speedy recovery. All the time, when he was healthy and active, he used to receive a lot of visitors, friends and well-wishers. He asked his family what could be the reason? The family said that almost everybody owed him money. Unless they paid back his debt, they were embarrassed to come and visit him.<br /><br />Qais bin Saad started cursing the money because of which he had lost all his friends and well-wishers. He hired a man to make announcement in all parts of the city that whosoever owed him money, was relieved of his debt. He forgave everybody and no one owed him anything. After hearing that announcement, so many people came to visit him. It was so crowded at his doorstep that people broke the threshold of the door.<br /><br />Moral of the story: When you are wealthy and kind, people will flock around you to get some benefit. You'll have plenty of friends. But when you are in trouble, you'll be all alone. All 'friends' will disappear. Only Allah is your true Friend. But that doesn't mean you stop doing good to others. As human beings, it's our obligation to help other human beings and animals. Every good deed, no matter how small, will bring you many rewards; and that will make your 'capital' in the Hereafter. On the other hand, every injustice and evil deed will bring you to the Divine court of justice; and you will be held accountable. The guilty will be punished.<br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">"And the companions of Paradise will call out<br />to the companions of the Fire, "We have already<br />found what our Lord promised us to be true.<br />Have you found what your Lord promised to be<br />true?" They will say, "Yes." Then an announcer<br />will announce among them, "The curse of Allah<br />shall be upon the wrongdoers."<br />(al-Quran 7:44)<br /></p><p> <br />Here is the key to success: Don't fall in love with this world, nor with money! Our stay in this world is but temporary. The greed and accumulation of wealth or material things can bring only the temporary pleasure or smiles. In fact, it will bring wrath of Allah upon us, unless we spend that wealth in Allah's way. The best way to please Allah is to please mankind; help those who cannot help themselves; lift the downtrodden and show mercy to people and the animals.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7W2sJDUP2zLafZbz3pfG27ty2QVTQ7yO2hOAI22we8lRA4yO8YgARjHF-lf_8sP-8wgxpS26fxROEtnzkPb9ny8haoMSYKYOaHyf7CqrYXMXPVxelkYkelZNo731c4tsjoy4eehci_QncnIUXK-iwxwLtiUNkViA9yPS0B9BojnGftvQp0VmmwK0goY7d/s320/helpOther2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="320" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7W2sJDUP2zLafZbz3pfG27ty2QVTQ7yO2hOAI22we8lRA4yO8YgARjHF-lf_8sP-8wgxpS26fxROEtnzkPb9ny8haoMSYKYOaHyf7CqrYXMXPVxelkYkelZNo731c4tsjoy4eehci_QncnIUXK-iwxwLtiUNkViA9yPS0B9BojnGftvQp0VmmwK0goY7d/s1600/helpOther2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p>The life of this material world is beautiful for those who don't care
about the Hereafter – mostly unbelievers and evil-doers. But for a
believer and a righteous person, the life of the Hereafter is a lot more
beautiful than the life of this world. The Almighty says that the life
of this world is just an illusion. We should not become slaves to our
desires and temptation while, at the same time, losing sight of our goal
– the Hereafter!

Give them a smile, that's Sadaqah too and you will be rewarded for that. We can help others by making things easier for them; facilitating the procedures; and giving lift when we have a ride. When you care about mankind, Allah will take care of you! It's guaranteed.<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">*************<br /></p><p><br /></p>M.

The game of death & destruction is being played to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians from Palestine. The Evil Empire (US & EU) are patronizing the genocide. As per The Economist, deaths in Gaza surpass 14,000, according to its authorities; more than a third of the dead are children. <br /><br />On November 21st the Gaza Media Office rather than the health ministry reported new numbers. According to them, the latest death toll is 14,532. The Gaza Health Ministry has announced it will resume its count. 200 medical personnel have also died as a result of Israeli artillery, airstrikes or ground offensives. Around 1.6 million people, or about 70% of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents, have also been displaced, the European Council on Refugees and Exiles has said.<br /><br />The entire world is watching the bombing and killing like spectators and still there are those shameless politicians, with no integrity and principles, who are siding with the apartheid Israeli regime in their crimes against humanity. In the midst of its ongoing war against the Gaza Strip, the occupation state has enjoyed considerable latitude, thanks in no small part to western support, notably from Washington, which proudly touts itself as a champion of global human rights whereas in reality, they are mere hypocrites.<br /><br />The glaring double standards of this western policy are exemplified by decades of documented abuses and war crimes in countries like Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, and beyond.<br /><br />Human rights appear to be the last thing on the American mind. As Israeli behaviors worsen, the US is doubling down on its unwavering support for the Israeli war machine and its settler-colonial project, which has resulted in the loss of tens of thousands of Palestinian lives over the past seven decades.<br /><br />Meanwhile, the Iranian news agency 'Tasnim' has reported that 5,000 US troops are involved in Gaza offensive. Israel’s ground operation of ethnic cleansing in Gaza is supported by 5,000 US troops. </p><div style="text-align: center;">"Surely, they themselves are the mischief makers, </div><div style="text-align: center;">but they do not perceive." - (al-Quran 2:12) </div><p><br /><b><u><span style="font-size: medium;">The US is the biggest cause of global instability, but it pretends to be the solution!</span></u></b><br /><b><u>The Israel-Hamas war shows that Washington is the single most disruptive force in the world. </u></b><br />By <b>Tarik Cyril Amar</b> (For <b>rt.com</b>)<br /><br />A halfway even-handed international community would have to step in and protect the victims of the disproportionate Israeli retaliation, which multiple international voices have called a genocide and an ethnic cleansing. Failure to do so reveals profound bias and dysfunction. That much is obvious.<br /><br />Yet there is another aspect of this catastrophic crisis, which receives less attention than it should. The global failure to hold back Israel’s aggression is due to only one part of the world, the West. And the West follows the lead of the US. Ethically, those who fail to stand up for the victims of a genocide or, even worse, side with the perpetrators are responsible for their own failure. Yet, in terms of power, US behavior is decisive. Just imagine a world in which Washington had reacted differently and restrained Israel. Its allies and clients would, of course, have fallen into line.<br /><br />Whether in nominal terms or adjusted for purchasing power, America outdistances other nations, with 40% of all money spent on the military worldwide in 2022.<br /><br />There is clear, again quantitative, evidence that Washington’s influence is highly disruptive. According to the conservative journal The National Interest, between 1992 and 2017, the US has been involved in 188 “military interventions.” This list is incomplete; it does not include, for instance, the Gulf War of 1990 or the pivotal role Washington played in provoking and then waging a proxy war against Russia in Ukraine. Moreover, as you would expect, given the source, these are conservative figures. By 2022, Ben Norton, a well-informed critic of US politics on the left found 251 military interventions after 1991.<br /><br />The US has not only shown a high propensity to pursue its perceived interests abroad by military force – instead of diplomacy or even “merely” economic warfare, i.e. sanctions. What is at least equally concerning is that this preference for direct violence as a tool of policy is accelerating. The National Interest finds that – again between 1992 and 2017 – America was engaged in four times as many military interventions as between 1948 and 1991 (“only” 46 times). Likewise, the Military Intervention Project at Tufts University’s Center for Strategic Studies has found that the US “has undertaken over 500 international military interventions since 1776, with nearly 60% undertaken between 1950 and 2017” and “over one-third” of these missions occurring after 1999. US bellicosity has grown over time (though not evenly) and, recently, after the end of the Cold War and the former Soviet Union, that growth has sped up.<br /><br />These wars, moreover, have been extremely destructive. According to exhaustive research conducted by the Costs of War project at Brown University, the so-called “Global War on Terror” after 2001 alone produced between 905,000 and 940,000 “direct war deaths.” The same research project notes that the “destruction of economies, public services, infrastructure, and the environment” by these wars has caused an additional “3.6-3.8 million indirect deaths in post-9/11 war zones.” The fact that most of these deaths were “indirect” shows that, even without engaging in violence directly, Washington has an extraordinary knack of spreading lethal disruption.<br /><br />The Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft is explicit about the “practical and moral failures of US efforts to unilaterally shape the destiny of other nations by force,” and seeks to promote “a fundamental rethinking of US foreign policy assumptions.” <br /><br />The most important challenge of international security, therefore, is to manage a US that is especially dangerous now, by historical standards, and, even in decline, remains extremely powerful. It is sad to say, but in terms of achieving global stability, America is precisely not what it imagines itself to be: an “indispensable” part of the solution. In reality, it is the single worst problem. <br />(Courtesy: https://www.rt.com/news/587409-israel-hamas-war-washington-problem/?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=Email)<br /></p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkufTkGfXdxHPCHh0EycUbGWaQqGYRrsviwoB8v1J9A3kIVRm-i9K2de1GnfTnKCA7EcVsJjnZMTOPtLVNHCa79JDkOaljmNXM61NuR4VSpdTNARTFqi5kkTHErDuyOI4bQEWuyE1afcSXZmTRd09vNNAB_BLqvt0nY9vA1sYXVtjOx7xWamAqaoCJ84cn/s523/kafirSpend2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="368" data-original-width="523" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkufTkGfXdxHPCHh0EycUbGWaQqGYRrsviwoB8v1J9A3kIVRm-i9K2de1GnfTnKCA7EcVsJjnZMTOPtLVNHCa79JDkOaljmNXM61NuR4VSpdTNARTFqi5kkTHErDuyOI4bQEWuyE1afcSXZmTRd09vNNAB_BLqvt0nY9vA1sYXVtjOx7xWamAqaoCJ84cn/s320/kafirSpend2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><b><u><span style="font-size: medium;">Palestinians believe they can’t coexist with Israel – poll</span></u></b><br /><b><u>Many Palestinians say they will “never forgive” Israel for its military action in Gaza, according to a survey </u></b><br /><br />According to a poll of Palestinians conducted by the Arab World for Research and Development (AWRAD), some 90% of respondents believe that “coexistence [with Israel] is increasingly impossible” given the scale of its military action in Gaza.<br /><br />The poll, conducted between October 31 and November 7, also found that 98% reported they will “never forget and never forgive” Israel.<br /><br />Elsewhere in the AWRAD poll, 100% of respondents said that there is no “safe space” in Gaza, while 65% view Israel’s offensive as a “war against all Palestinians” and not solely against Hamas.<br /><br />It also found that almost half of people, 48%, said that their homes had been destroyed or partially damaged and that 90% supported a ceasefire.

These Arab billions are now flowing into the Occupation state’s senseless war on Palestinians in Gaza, Jerusalem, and the West Bank.<br /><br />Over the course of its short history, Israel has instigated atrocities against both the Palestinian people and neighboring Arab states, often using internationally banned chemicals such as White Phosphorus which has been deployed against Gaza and Lebanon in recent days. <br /><br /><b><u><span style="font-size: medium;">Arab states funding Israel’s war economy</span></u></b><br /><br />A report released by the Israeli Ministry of Defense reveals the financial windfalls that normalization created for the occupation state’s arms industry: in 2022 alone, 24 percent (equivalent to $3 billion) of Israeli military exports found their way to Arab countries that had formalized relations with Tel Aviv.<br /><br />This marked a notable increase from 16.5 percent in the previous year. In 2021, Bahrain and the UAE alone accounted for 7.5 percent ($853 million) of Israel’s arms exports.<br /><br />Geographically, the Arab signatory states to the Abraham Accords emerge as the third-largest group of countries importing Israeli weapons, following those in Asia-Pacific (30 percent) and Europe (29 percent).<br /><br />This illustrates the significant role these Arab states play as major contributors to both Israel’s military-industrial complex and its economy.<br />(Courtesy: https://geopolitics.co/2023/11/18/how-arab-regimes-fund-israels-war-on-gaza/)<br /><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">************** <br /></p><p><br /></p>M.

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">(al-Quran 2:217)</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The Believers, especially Muslims,
should know and understand how the Unbelievers are trying to wipe
them out. They are bringing death and destruction to their dwellings.
Even the schools and the hospitals are not spared. The hypocrites got
united for Ukraine but they are not doing anything to help the
oppressed Palestinians. Therefore, in response, Muslims should also
get united, put their act together and start a concerted effort to
thwart all oppressive campaigns. Allah has commanded them:</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">“The Unbelievers are
protectors, one of another.</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Unless you do this
(protect each other), there</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">would be tumult and
oppression (Fitnah) on</p>

mischief.”</p>

fake Zionist Jews of Khazaria, who are settled on the Palestinian
stolen land (they were put there by the Evil Empire), are a very
racist and evil group of people. They want to kill all Palestinians
and confiscate their territory which they claim is a part of the
“promised land”. The Evangelist Christians are with the Zionists
and are helping them in the genocide. The Believers (Muslims) should
bear in mind that they cannot count on the support or help of the
Unbelievers. Nobody would be with them in the fight against injustice
and oppression – except Allah. If they have faith, they will
succeed. Here’s what Allah the Almighty promised to Prophet
Muhammad (s.a.w.): </span></span></span>
</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">“O Prophet! Rouse the
Believers to the fight.</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">If there are twenty
amongst you, patient and</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">persevering, they will
vanquish two hundred;</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">if a hundred, they will
vanquish a thousand</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">of the Unbelievers; for

Muslims! Count on yourselves, on your Faith and the Mercy & Grace
of Allah in your noble mission. Don’t count on any help from the
Unbelievers (America and Europe). They have the same agenda to
control the entire world, and they are pursuing it as one nation.
They consider Islam and Muslims as an obstacle, therefore, they are
doing their best to remove that obstacle. Allah has already told you
clearly in the Quran that you have no friends in this world but Him.</span></span></span></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">“They will not find that

declared in the Quran: “Fitnah (tumult or oppression) is worse than

on in Palestine and many other Muslim countries for more than 70
years. It is about time that Muslims put an end to it and enforce
justice. They need to get together and fight the evil jointly so that
justice prevails in Palestine and in all other Muslim countries under
Western invasion. There cannot be peace without justice! </span></span></span>

and oppression can only be eliminated by force. It demands sacrifices
but it can be done. It’s a long process though. The blacks in South
Africa and in the United States have shown that it is possible. But
it depends on the minorities as to how bold and courageous they are;
and how much they want to sacrifice. If they are afraid of the
majority or the numbers, they’ll never achieve success. They must
have courage, resolve and fighting ability to take on the armed state
goons. They should bear in mind that death comes only once and the
time for it is fixed. Why fear then? If they don’t fight back for
justice and their own survival, they would be killed anyway – as is
being done for the last 70 years or so!</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The Muslim believers should get the
inspiration from the Quran and from the first war of Islam – Badr –
when 313 devoted believers destroyed more than 1000 oppressors.
Injustice should be fought back with all the force. Allah commands
them.</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">“And fight them on until
there is no more</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">tumult or oppression
(Fitnah) , and there</p>

They are responsible for bringing misery, destruction, bloodshed and

destroy Muslim countries. Their pay-back time will be coming soon.</span></span></span></p>

<span style="font-size: small;">You can't simply blame the unbelievers or non-Muslims
for the cruel game of 'death & destruction' being played in
Palestine and Syria. Muslims leaders of the world are equally
responsible for these atrocities. Allah commanded them to fight evil,
maintain peace & justice and enjoin righteousness. Similarly, the
Jews and the Christians were also commanded by the Almighty God to
stand up for justice and obey God's commands. Unfortunately, they
also failed mankind.</span></p>

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">An independent state

Muhammad Iqbal, (commonly known as Allama Iqbal), the spiritual
disciple of Rumi. I cannot find words to pay him enough tribute

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Mohammad Iqbal was born
in 1877 in Sialkot, Punjab, to father Sheikh Nuruddin
Mohammad, a tailor by profession and of Kashmiri background, and
mother Imam Bibi. He was educated at the Scotch Mission College,
where he also took up poetry, and later, in 1895, at Government
College, Lahore, where he would come into contact with Sir
Thomas Arnold. In 1903, he published a treatise on economics
entitled “Ilmul-Iqtesad”, and in 1904, he wrote the Indian
patriotic song “Sare Jahan se Achccha Hindostan Hamara”.</p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">He would once again work
with Thomas Arnold when he was admitted
to Trinity College, Cambridge, as a student of
Philosophy in 1905. He obtained his degree at Cambridge and
went on to Munich University where he obtained a doctorate;
his thesis was entitled, ‘The Development of Metaphysics in
Persia’.
</p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">He later qualified as a
barrister. In London, he delivered a series of lectures; his
lecture at Caxton Hall was widely reported in the papers. While
in Europe, Iqbal became influenced by Kant, Bergson and
especially Nietzsche.</p><p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p>

practicing as a lawyer in Lahore High Court. After a while, he
resigned from the College and focused on law. Besides law he found
time to develop his poetry in the 1920s, but he was also drawn into
politics by his friends, Jogendra Singh, Zulfikar Ali Khan and
Khawaja Shahabuddin.</p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">His Persian ‘masnavi’
sequence ‘Asrar-i-Khudi’ (1915), (‘Secrets of the Self’,
1920), and ‘Rumuz-i-Bekhudi (1918), ('The Mysteries of
Selflessness', 1920) were the foundation of Iqbal's philosophical
poetry. In them he combined his ideas of the ego striving to achieve
freedom and to develop a fuller personality with the moral,
spiritual and intellectual values of Islam. He continued to develop
these ideas in his poetry for the rest of his life. It is on the
basis of these that he is known as the poet-philosopher of Pakistan.</p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">From 1926 to 1930 he served
on the Punjab Legislative Council and was President of the All-India
Muslim League in 1930. That same year, he gave evidence before the
Simon Commission, and in 1931-2 he was a delegate to the Second and
Third Round Table Conferences, visiting London again.</p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">By the mid-1930s, his health
had deteriorated so much that he had to decline to give a series of
Rhodes lectures at Oxford in 1935. He continued to write
poetry but died on 21 April 1938. He is buried near the Shahi Mosque
in Lahore.</p>

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">As per Iqbal Academy,
Pakistan, Iqbal is the best articulated Muslim response to Modernity
that the Islamic world has produced in the 20th century. His response
has three dimensions:</p>
<p align="LEFT">1. A creative engagement with the conceptual paradigm
of modernism at a sophisticated philosophical level through his prose
writings, mainly his ‘The Reconstruction of Religious Thought in
Islam’, which present his basic philosophic insights.</p>

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">-- Muhammad Iqbal</p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">(From: Divine Government,
Javid-Nama)</p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><u><b>Iqbal's ‘Magnum Opus’: Javid-Nama</b></u></span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">‘Iqbal’s magnum opus’,
writes his biographer S. A. Vahid, ‘is the Javid Namah. Within
a few years of its publication the poem became a classic, and. one
great scholar proclaimed that the poem will rank with Firdausi’s Shah
Namah, Rumi’s ‘Mathnawi’, Saadi’s ‘Gulistan’ and
the ‘Diwan’ of Hafiz. Nor was this tribute an
exaggeration, as subsequent criticism showed ... In judging a poem we
have to consider two things: the style and the substance.
</p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">So far as the style is
concerned, Javid Namah belongs to the very first rank of
Persian verse. It is unsurpassed in grandeur of expression, in beauty
of diction and in richness of illustration.
</p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">As regards theme, the poem
deals with the everlasting conflict of the soul, and by telling the
story of human struggle against sin, shows to mankind the path to
glory and peace. In every line the poet makes us feel that he has
something to say that is not only worth saying, but is also fitted to
give us pleasure. Thus, as regards style as well as theme the poem is
a masterpiece.’<br />The ‘Javid-Nama’, having been
frequently reissued in lithograph – the edition on which the
present translation is based was published in 1946
at Hyderabad (Deccan) – was first translated, into
Italian, by Professor Alessandro Bausani under the title II
Poema Celeste (Rome, 1952).
</p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">A version in German
verse, Buch der Ewigkeit (Munich, 1957), has come from the
pen of Professor Annemarie Schimmel.
</p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">A French version, by E.
Meyerovitch and Mohammed Mokri, has the title Le Livre de
l’Éternité (Paris, 1962).
</p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">In 1961 a translation
in English verse was published in Lahore, ‘The Pilgrimage of
Eternity’, by Shaikh Mahmud Ahmad. The poem has thus reached a
truly international public, and has already taken its rightful place
amongst the modern classics of world literature.</p>

<p align="LEFT">When the conquest of Anatolia by the Seljuks began in
1071, the Turkish tribes coming from Central Asia settled down on
their new lands. Afterwards, when the fall of the Seljuk Empire
started, it crumbled in the thirteenth century. Many small Turkish
principalities sprang up, one of which was the Ottoman Beylik in the
northwest of Anatolia. Ottomans expanded quickly as they conquered
additional lands from the Byzantine Empire.</p>
<p align="LEFT">Osman Bey, the founder of the Ottoman Beylik, who was
born in the town of Söğüt in Bithynia in 1258, conquered Bilecik,
Yenikent, İnegöl and İznik in 1299. That year is considered as
the founding year of the Ottoman Empire that lasted for over six
hundred years.
</p>
<p align="LEFT">When Osman Bey decided to take the city of Bursa
(originally Prusa), he began preparations to besiege the city in
1317. First, he wanted to cut off the city’s access to the sea; he
then built a fort near Kaplıca and appointed his nephew Ak Timur as
its commander. His slave, Balabancık, was given the command of a
second fort in the mountains behind Bursa, to prevent enemy from
reaching the city from both sides. Turks demolished the fort of
Atranos Beyce and made their encampment at Pınarbaşı. Leaving the
army’s control in the hands of his son Orhan Bey, Osman Gazi
returned to Yenikent.</p>
<p align="LEFT">The siege lasted eight years, and meanwhile Osman Gazi
who fell seriously ill could no longer fight. He ordered his son
Orhan Gazi to take Bursa. Orhan began by taking first the Evrenos
Fortress. The fortress’ governor fled into the mountains. Orhan
Gazi sent Mihal Bey to chase the governor of Bursa demanding his
surrender. The governor sent expensive clothes and forty thousand
gold coins as a gift to show his submission. After consulting his
father, Orhan Gazi allowed the governor to leave the city with his
family and entourage. They made their way to Gemlik on the north
coast of Bursa and sailed for Istanbul. In 1326, the Turkish army
entered Bursa.</p><p align="LEFT"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVklWP5isDJyUAkhaDwLQ0070oDInfz1CQyKaUEVPM7oUGIG_0LLcG5rjlreQo88ND_8s3mv2CnEqg1LfKvoG8Zy2xw6YWNZN0EGBZ5vonxpKlEXalfiryxxHvoSXj3x7U8_iHtSy2XNWt3Co5MVKhQeK2-rnS5y-QsGkjET9_460Bi-6bObTDGYQ5W0Qn/s725/OsmanTomb.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="725" data-original-width="596" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVklWP5isDJyUAkhaDwLQ0070oDInfz1CQyKaUEVPM7oUGIG_0LLcG5rjlreQo88ND_8s3mv2CnEqg1LfKvoG8Zy2xw6YWNZN0EGBZ5vonxpKlEXalfiryxxHvoSXj3x7U8_iHtSy2XNWt3Co5MVKhQeK2-rnS5y-QsGkjET9_460Bi-6bObTDGYQ5W0Qn/s320/OsmanTomb.jpg" width="263" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">(Osman Gazi's tomb in Bursa)<br /></td></tr></tbody></table> <p></p><p align="LEFT">This news reached Osman Gazi on his deathbed, and he
died knowing his greatest goal had been achieved. The taking of Bursa
marked a turning point in the Ottoman History. Orhan bin Osman, who
was born in 1281, the year of his grandfather Ertuğrul Gazi’s
death, became the second Ottoman sultan. His elder brother advised
him to mint money with his name on it. He was also advised to wear
clothes which would distinguish him from his subjects. Another
important piece of advice was to form an army composed of infantry
soldiers who would be paid out of the treasury. </p>
<p align="LEFT">Previously, coins were minted in the name of the Seljuk
sultans, but in 1328, following his brother's advice; Orhan Gazi
became the first Ottoman Sultan to mint his own coins. He also
introduced white uniforms for his soldiers, replacing their former
red and black uniforms.</p>
<p align="LEFT">In 1335, Bursa became the first Ottoman capital. Orhan
Gazi ruled for nearly 35 years till his death in 1360. He was
succeeded by his son Murad, who was born in 1326. Sultan Murad Han
bin Orhan bin Osman Gazi was the third Ottoman sultan. </p><p align="LEFT"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikLNuer966AWHlBZg13IC9OS0SQTX34O7fETDPVAOG8ro70kFKsI0jrA6wI_jhphqLMjhPS8KqQsQWpybmeOuinePZgKEP9goNLG9BTsOT21wxqfvDOrbwu3RhML98lS7l_MhtGRQ8mzOvUvzAN3YnMvTEpTfHGAJp2EXhF71Gp9vmscario71tEdD5PDY/s600/ertugTomb.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="365" data-original-width="600" height="195" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikLNuer966AWHlBZg13IC9OS0SQTX34O7fETDPVAOG8ro70kFKsI0jrA6wI_jhphqLMjhPS8KqQsQWpybmeOuinePZgKEP9goNLG9BTsOT21wxqfvDOrbwu3RhML98lS7l_MhtGRQ8mzOvUvzAN3YnMvTEpTfHGAJp2EXhF71Gp9vmscario71tEdD5PDY/s320/ertugTomb.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">(Ertugrul Gazi's tomb in Sogut)<br /></td></tr></tbody></table> <p></p><p align="LEFT">The city of Bursa is located

situated between the cities of Ankara and Istanbul, separating it
from Istanbul by the Marmara Sea, as it overlooks the Marmara Sea to
the north, and is bordered on the south side by the famous Ulu Dag
Mountain. Bursa is Turkey's fourth most populous city and one of the
most important industrial cities of the country. In size, it is
bigger than Istanbul but has a population between 2 and 3 million
people, compared to over 15 millions of Istanbul. </p>

was a center of silk trade in the 15th century and by the 17th
century was famous in Europe and Asia for its silk textiles, which
are still produced today. Other industries include cotton and woolen
textiles, canned foods, dairy products and machinery. Bursa

Sogut is a long drive from Istanbul. We wanted to visit the tomb of
Ertugrul and his companions but the tour operators were too greedy to
let us do that. All of them demanded between $100 and $150 per
person, which was enormous by any standard. With the inflation, a US
dollar is worth 28-TL (Turkish Lira), therefore, the country should
be cheaper for dollar-spending tourists. But unfortunately, it is
not. They rip you off. All of them – the taxi drivers, the hotels,
the restaurants, bars, clubs, sightseeing trips, boat tours and
cruises. Even the shopping for gifts, sweets and souvenirs is very

<p align="LEFT">Bursa is also called the 'Green City' because of its
green spots, parks and reservations. All around Bursa, there are
monumental centuries old trees that defy time. The best known of
these trees is the İnkaya (Grand) Plane tree, which is over 600
years old, in İnkaya Village, which is 4 km away from Çekirge
neighborhood and on the Uludağ road. By size and volume, it is
Turkey's largest tree. Its diameter is 3 meters; it is 10 meters in
circumference; and its height is 37 meters. It has 13 main branches
and the thickness of each branch is almost the size of a normal tree
trunk. It has plenty of natural fountains around it. The area has
become a big attraction with a lot of restaurants, cafe and small
stores selling the souvenirs.</p><p align="LEFT"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcW-dHzOb0lBhM5Hbq7RdH1msHsDw33v__7s0Q_ZPqj68Uf1PGnavBfqSX2YOPoBffDlsOs68M-V3-q0cSInAftHeI-PVOf1HBK6OCLjXo0zCm2Swsfs-osN0rfjR4ok3IOZI6E0-uVV5xK09uaie78-_q53HZyabVEUo4VpHaZaKe60vs2tfft7pvCfKJ/s600/cruise.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcW-dHzOb0lBhM5Hbq7RdH1msHsDw33v__7s0Q_ZPqj68Uf1PGnavBfqSX2YOPoBffDlsOs68M-V3-q0cSInAftHeI-PVOf1HBK6OCLjXo0zCm2Swsfs-osN0rfjR4ok3IOZI6E0-uVV5xK09uaie78-_q53HZyabVEUo4VpHaZaKe60vs2tfft7pvCfKJ/s320/cruise.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">(Bosphorus cruise tour in Instanbul)<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-size: medium;"><u><b>Cruise tours</b></u></span><p></p>
<p align="LEFT">Istanbul is surrounded by water and islands. The
Bosphorus cuts the city itself into two halves – one half in Asia
and the other half in the European continent. Hence, it is called the
city of two continents. The visit to Istanbul is not complete without
a boat tour in the Bosphorus. There are both day tours and the night
tours with dinner and belly dance shows.
</p>
<p align="LEFT">We did a day cruise into the Bosphorus and it was
fantastic. There are boat tours with breakfast; with lunch and with
dinner+belly dance. The prices range between $20 to $50 per person.
While it is warm during the day time, it get chilly in the evening.
Turkish Airline offers promotional and cheaper tickets. Istanbul is
an old historical city and is worth visiting. It offers a lot in
every field – history, culture, tourism, sports, shopping, fashion,
food and fun. There is plenty to see and enjoy for every taste.</p>

<p align="LEFT" style="line-height: 0.17in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I
am sorry for my absence as normally I post a new article every
Friday. We travelled one Thursday evening from Casablanca (Morocco)
to Instanbul (Turkey); spent the night in the air; and about 2:00am
in the morning (Friday) reached our hotel. Slept a couple of hours
and then rushed to the biggest historical landmark of the country,
Aya Sophya (Turkish) or Aya Sophia (general expression) or Hagia
Sophia (Roman). We (me & wife) wanted to offer Friday prayer
there and then other prayers at the Blue Mosque (Masjid Sultan
Ahmet), the most beautiful and the biggest mosque in Turkey.
Alhamdo-lillah (thank God), we successfully achieved that goal.</span></span></span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="line-height: 0.17in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Officially,
this big mosque is called in Turkish “Ayasofya Kebir Camii”
(Ayasofya, the big mosque). There's another Ayasofya which is called
“Kucuk Ayasofya Camii” (Small Ayasofya Mosque). We visited both,
as both of them were close to our hotel, and not far from each other
either (maybe 500 meters apart). The design of the both mosques is
very similar; but the big one is really majestic and elegant from
inside too. It's the major historical and cultural site in Turkey. It
is also the last of three church buildings to be successfulloy
constructed on the same site by the Eastern Roman Empire. It was
completed in 537-AD. From 360-AD to the year 1204, it was an Eastern
Orthodoc church. Following the 4<sup>th</sup> Crusade, it was
converted into a Catholic Church. In the year 1261, it was reclaimed
and again became the Eastern Orthodox till 1453, when the Ottoman
Empire conquered Constantinople (Istanbul). It was converted into a
mosque and served as a mosque until 1935, when it was converted into
a museum. In the year 2020, it became a mosque again.</span></span></span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="line-height: 0.17in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hagia
Sophia's splendour and elegance doesn't need my introduction or
explanation. When you see it by yourself, you'll be mesmerized and
lost into time. And when you offer prayer inside this historical
place, you'll fee the awe. A feeling that is hard to describe.</span></span></span></p><p align="LEFT" style="line-height: 0.17in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></span></p>

Sultan Ahmed (Turkish: Sultan Ahmet Camii) is also popularly known as
the 'Blue Mosque'. It is right in front of the famous Aya Sofya or
Hagia Sophya in Istanbul. It is historical imperial mosque of the
Ottoman era. The Blue Mosque was constructed between 1609 and 1617-AD
during the rule of Sultan Ahmed-I. It remains functional till today.
It also attracts a large number of tourists and is one of the most
iconic and popular monuments of Ottoman architecture.</span></span></span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="line-height: 0.17in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
mosque has a classical Ottoman layout with a central dome surrounded
by four semi-domes over the pray hall. It is fronted by a large
courtyard and flanked by six minarets. On the inside, it is decorated
with thousands of Isnik tiles and painted floral motifs in
predominantly blue colors, which give the mosque its popular name
(the Blue Mosque). The mosque's religious complex (Kulliye) includes
Sultan Ahmed's tomb, a madrasa, a museum and several other buildings.</span></span></span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="line-height: 0.17in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
Blue Mosque was built next to the former Hippodrome and stands across
from the Hagia Sophia. The Blue Mosque was included in the UNESCO
World Heritage Site list in 1985, under the title of 'Historic Areas
of Instanbul'.</span></span></span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="line-height: 0.17in; margin-bottom: 0in;">I have
visited Petra in Jordan, the Pyramids of Cairo, Egypt, and many other
important, historical sites in different countries of the world but I
never saw such a big crowd of tourists at one place as I saw it in
Istanbul. Thousands and thousands of tourists from all parts of the
world, Muslims and non-Muslims. I saw such a crowd only at Makkah and
Madinah (Saudi Arabia), the holy places of Muslims.</p><p align="LEFT" style="line-height: 0.17in; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOkFB7171Di0B6PM15v7sY-aN95IUm_bDVXNZhd2l5oA7es8CsQ5hBmJuE8B23i9_eCXDZlxWwqrzIeS32BVqFU7pX7l0vnTjlxIijhNKgPKUnIzcCm9WRuDON6PdMqtHnpkcYwY-UZAdSSgnD0gmpKSA4ACxx570MjFh8Mw3ut2INVTLyi7GTasaCFHuy/s606/WhatsApp%20Image%202023-10-21%20at%2023.02.14.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="606" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOkFB7171Di0B6PM15v7sY-aN95IUm_bDVXNZhd2l5oA7es8CsQ5hBmJuE8B23i9_eCXDZlxWwqrzIeS32BVqFU7pX7l0vnTjlxIijhNKgPKUnIzcCm9WRuDON6PdMqtHnpkcYwY-UZAdSSgnD0gmpKSA4ACxx570MjFh8Mw3ut2INVTLyi7GTasaCFHuy/s320/WhatsApp%20Image%202023-10-21%20at%2023.02.14.jpg" width="317" /></a></div><br />
<p align="LEFT" style="line-height: 0.17in; margin-bottom: 0in;">There's
another thing worth mentioning here! Whey you visit Petra (Jordan),
you pay the entry fee; when you visit the Pyramids of Cairo, Egypt,
you pay the entrance fee; even when you visit the Hassan-II Mosque in
Casablanca, Morocco, you pay as a tourist or visitor 150-Dirhams
($15.00) per person. But in Istanbul, you don't pay to enter the both
mosques the Blue Mosque and the Aya Sofya (Hagia Sophia). It is free
for both Muslims and non-Muslims. Only during the prayer times, the
non-Muslim tourists or visitors are restricted to enter. After the
prayer, they can enter the both mosques.</p>
<p align="LEFT" style="line-height: 0.17in; margin-bottom: 0in;">The
huge neighborhoods around both mosques are the most expensive tourist
areas of Istanbul. The prices of hotel rooms, taxis, restaurants,
cafe, fruits, sweets, ice cream and everything else are enormously
high. You have to make a real effort to find a place with reasonable
prices. The locals don't buy anything from that zone. They live
outside and they buy outside the tourist areas. The best way to move
around is on foot or by metro trains or buses. For that you need to
buy the Metro card.</p>
<p align="LEFT" style="line-height: 0.17in; margin-bottom: 0in;">Both
big mosques (Aya Sofya and Masjid Sultan Ahmed), the Small Aya Sofya,
the famous Topkapi Museum are in the same neighborhood called “Fatih”
and the other smaller area called “Sultanahmet”. Hotels are very
expensive in those areas but worth it as all major attractions are on
a walking distance. Even the most popular world-famous shopping area
called “Covered Bazar” or “Grand Bazar” is not far. All those
attractions are just 10-20 minutes walk away. But if you are in areas
like Teksim, which also surrounds may hotel, restaurants, bars, night
clubs, shopping malls, etc., you are a bit far from the main
attractions. If you are not using Metro, the taxi will be very
expensive. And like any other country, taxi-drivers cheat too to make
an extra buck.</p><p align="LEFT" style="line-height: 0.17in; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p>

<p align="LEFT" style="line-height: 0.17in; margin-bottom: 0in;">Istanbul
is a very beautiful city, full of water, islands, hills and green
spots. The food is really tasty and the climate is good. Turkish
sweets like “Baklawa” and the “Turkish Delights” are unique
and delicious. Don't forget to go on a cruise, like Princess' Island
tour, or Bosphorus Islands tour, etc. It is expensive but worth it. A
great experience! We really enjoyed it. There is a lot of history
scattered all around Istanbul. There is something for every taste.</p>
<p align="LEFT" style="line-height: 0.17in; margin-bottom: 0in;">When we
visited, a US dollar was worth 28-TL (Turkish Lira). By that
standard, Turkey should be cheaper for American and European
tourists, but unfortunately it is not. The main tourist areas are
just rip-off, like many other countries. But if you manage to go out
of main tourist areas, it is really cheap and people are really
friendly. You'll see the difference and will change your opinion too.</p>

Allah! God's creation is beautiful. Travel and enjoy it; and be

are the End Times and we'll see a lot of bloodshed, aggression, wars,
destruction and injustice in the world. Unfortunately, we see the
brunt of it in the Muslim World as it has been well-planned by the
evil forces of unbelievers and infidels. The entire world is busy
crying for Ukraine, shedding crocodile tears and bungling billions
of dollars, while on the other side, the oi-rich Muslim governments
are doing nothing for the Muslim victims of Palestine, Syria,
Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Sudan and Yemen. What a shameless show of
hypocrisy, discrimination, double-standards and injustice on the part
of so-called 'civilized' world!</span></span></span></p>

<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This
kind of genocide will continue as the survival of the Western defense
industrial complex depends on wars and conflicts. The sponsor,
support and even start those conflicts/wars to make big money from
weapons' sales. This also serves a political motive to control the
oil-rich countries. Therefore, there will be no peace in the world;
only wars, wars and more wars. They create terrorists, supply them
with weapons and then sell the weapons to the respective governments
to fight those terrorists. Most of the morons don't understand the
evil agenda. American politicians are openly making statements to
support the occupying apartheid state of Israel in its genocide
campaign (called 'war').</span></span></span></p>

<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The
Muslim leaders are behaving like the Munafiqeen (hypocrites) and are
not helping the victims in Palestine or Syria or Iraq, etc. They are
trying to please the West and the apartheid Israeli regime,
establishing friendly relations with it at the cost of Muslim lives.
The evil occupying Zionist regime has cut off supplies of
electricity, water, food, medicines and everything else. They want to
wipe out Palestinians and Hamas from this territory because the West
is behind them and nobody is helping Palestinians except Iran. That's
the height of shamelessness and cruelty. How would the Muslim leaders
answer questions on the Day of Judgment? Allah commands:</span></span></span></p>

licking the boots of the evil Zionist masters who are responsible for
all those atrocities and injustice.</span></span></span></p>

they don't help the Muslim victims in their time of need, when they
are thrown out of their homes; they are deprived of food, water,

<p align="LEFT" style="line-height: 0.17in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Muslim
rulers are being blackmailed as they want to stay in power with the
support of the Evil Empire; so they are paying the price. But in
fact, it is the general people who are suffering. </span></span></span>Power
is a Godly quality and only God can use it justly. Human beings, when
given power, often try to play God and end up doing injustice to the
fellow humans. They cannot resist the temptation, therefore, the
corruption prevails. Power is responsibility and it should be used
for the service to humanity. A ruler/governor who enjoys power, is
actually given responsibility to serve his people. A ruler is a
servant of Allah and he should serve His people; take care of them,
solve their problems and promote peace and justice in the society.
But the modern day ruler, on the contrary, considers himself as
“king” of the people and takes people as his servants. He likes
it very much when people gather in rows for his reception, bow in
front of him and kiss his hand.
</p>
<p align="LEFT" style="line-height: 0.17in; margin-bottom: 0in;">On the
Day of Judgment, all rulers would be asked questions about their
people. A ruler must be a humble and God-fearing servant of people,
and not an arrogant tyrant. He is responsible for social justice,
equality, peace and prosperity of his nation. He is not allowed to
take people’s money or property. He is answerable to God for the
sufferings of his people (due to injustice), during his tenure. </p><p align="LEFT" style="line-height: 0.17in; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p>

<p align="LEFT" style="line-height: 0.17in; margin-bottom: 0in;">The
problem with us, Muslims, is that we don’t fear Allah. We don’t
think that we are going to die sooner or later. We don’t think
about the Day of Judgment and answering questions in front of Allah.
We have become hypocrites (Munafiq) as we say one thing and we do
something else. We lie to others every day and we don’t consider it
a sin or something immoral. It is accepted as normal behavior in the
society. We read the Holy Quran and still we don’t get the message!
We read about other nations and generations that were destroyed
because of their sins and evil-doing but we don’t learn any lesson
from the Quran, nor from the history of the nations. We know that it
happened to other nations but we think it is not going to happen to
us. Why not? Allah says:</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">“How many a township
have We destroyed</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">while it was sinful, so
that it lies (to this day)</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">in ruins, and (how many) a
deserted well and</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">lofty tower! Have they not
traveled in the land,</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">so that they may have
hearts wherewith to feel,</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">and ears wherewith to
hear? For indeed it is</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">not the eyes that grow
blind, but it is the hearts,</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">which are within the
bosoms, that grow blind.”</p>

FaceBook/internet preachers) are promoting incorrect translations of
the Quran. Allah never misguides, misleads or sends anybody astray.
The English and Urdu translators (copying each others) are the source
of this blasphemy. Even the so-called ‘scholars’ have erred on
this verse.</span></span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Allah
guides people from the Darkness to the Light. He guided Adam and Eve
when they were misled by Shaitan. He sent thousands of prophets or
messengers to guide humanity to the right path. When we follow our
lusts, desires and greed, we go astray, under the influence of our
enemy Shaitan.</span></span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Now,
imagine for a second that the whole world has gone astray. Then there
are some who realize what has happened, and they repent begging Allah
for forgiveness and mercy. Allah knows best who is sincerely
repenting and asking for forgiveness. So, He forgives whom He wills.
But how about the rest? Well, He leaves the rest wherever they are
because they never asked for guidance. If they are astray, He leaves
them there. If they are sinful, He leaves them in sin. He does not
guide them because they don’t seek guidance. Their actions don’t
support their case (requesting forgiveness).</span></span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Here’s
another example from Surah al-Room, verse 29. Yusuf Ali, being my
favorite translator (but I consult at least 5 translations), renders
the following translation of this verse:</span></span></p>
<p align="CENTER" dir="RTL" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="ar-SA">بَلِ
ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوۤاْ
أَهْوَآءَهُمْ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ فَمَن</span></span></span></p>
<p align="CENTER" dir="RTL" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="ar-SA">يَهْدِى
مَنْ أَضَلَّ ٱللَّهُ وَمَا لَهُمْ مِّن
نَّاصِرِينَ</span></span></span></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">“<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Nay,
the wrong-doers (merely) follow</span></span></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">their
own lusts, being devoid of knowledge.</span></span></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">But
who will guide those whom Allah leaves</span></span></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">astray?
To them there will be no helpers.”</span></span></p>
<p align="CENTER"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">(al-Quran
30:29) </span></span>
</p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Pickthal’s
translation goes like this: </span></span>
</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">“<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Nay,
but those who do wrong follow their</span></span></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">own
lusts without knowledge. Who is able to</span></span></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">guide
him whom Allah hath sent astray?</span></span></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">For
such there are no helpers.”</span></span></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">(al-Quran
30:29)</span></span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">And
it is not Pickthal alone. Shakir Ali and Khalifa have also translated
the above verse like Pickthal.</span></span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Similarly,
most of the Urdu translators (even some of the famous Ulema) have
made the same mistake of adopting Pickthal’s version without much
thinking.</span></span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
Almighty revealed the Quran to guide people who had gone astray. He
did not send them astray, He gave them freedom of choice. He only let
them go and stay astray because they never repented. </span></span>
</p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Allah
clarifies in Surah al-Qasas that it’s the lusts of people that send
them astray. And when they keep following their own desires and lusts
(instead of repenting), Allah does not guide them. He leaves them in
that condition:</span></span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">“<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">But
if they hearken not to you, know that</span></span></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">they
only follow their own lusts; and who is</span></span></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">more
astray than one who follow his own lusts,</span></span></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">devoid
of guidance from Allah? For Allah</span></span></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">guides
not people given to wrong-doing.”</span></span></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">(al-Quran
28:50)</span></span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Therefore,
it is not the incorrect translation alone but also blaming Allah for
something He never did! That’s a blasphemy! We make our own choices
– right or wrong – and Allah lets us do that. He allows us to do
wrong because He knows that One Day we would be answering questions
and held accountable for all that we did. We would be rewarded
accordingly.</span></span></p><p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Allah
did not send Nimrod astray nor the Pharaoh of Egypt. They chose to go
astray and Allah tried to show them the path of guidance through His
prophets Abraham and Moses, respectively. But they did not repent, so
Allah left them in that condition. Therefore, it would be wrong to
say that Allah sent them astray. Allah just allowed them to go
whatever way they chose to go. </span></span>
</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">“<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Allah

those who reject Faith say: "What means</span></span></p>

those who forsake (the path).”</span></span></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">(al-Quran
2:26)</span></span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
above verse tells us clearly that Allah does not cause anybody to go
astray. It’s the people who forsake the right path, by their own
choice, to go astray and Allah lets them go in that direction. </span></span>
</p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">One
thing is clear that going astray is on the part of man while guidance
is on the part of Allah. He guides whom He wills. When Allah
withdraws His guidance, nobody can save that person from Hellfire.</span></span></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">“<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">For
any whom Allah leaves astray,</span></span></p>

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">“Say (O Muhammad): "If
you do love Allah,</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">follow me! Allah will love
you and forgive your</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">sins, for Allah is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">(al-Quran 3:31)</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The best way to pay homage to the
Prophet (s.a.w.) is to follow his teachings and his simple lifestyle.
He commanded us to stay true and honest to the Quran.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The Quran is the principal source of
all guidance for Muslims. But for those who always find something to
dispute and disagree, Prophet Muhammad’s (s.a.w.) entire life has
been recorded by many historians, both Muslim and non-Muslim, and
that should serve as a role-model because he lived by the Book. He
never did anything that could displease the Lord Almighty. He was
His true servant in all respects and his conduct was exemplary for
all believers. Even Allah said in the Quran that he was the best
role-model for mankind.</p>
<p align="CENTER" dir="RTL" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: traditional arabic;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="ar-SA">لَّقَدْ

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">“You have indeed in the
Messenger of Allah</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">a beautiful pattern (of
conduct) for any one</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">whose hope is in Allah and
the Final Day, and</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">who engages much in the
praise of Allah.”</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">(al-Quran 33:21)</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">It’s very unfortunate that we are
deviating from the Quran and the teachings of the Prophet (s.a.w.).
We are not true representatives of Islam. We are copying non-Muslim
and pagan traditions and falsely claiming them to be Muslim
traditions. Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) had already predicted about it.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Eid-e-Milad (Prophet’s birthday) has
become a replica of Christmas and the irony is that Christmas was not
even part of Christianity. It was a pagan tradition duly
Christianized 300-400 years after the death of Jesus, the son of
Mary. We cannot disobey the Prophet (s.a.w.) and claim to love him at
the same time. This is hypocrisy (Munafiqat). </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzxyLz1ZuZ7ZGsn0hATFjC4MmEIFtKBhwuHHlyPrgzR1Od_NN0Dpdjz55HfbsNnV6zpFoTQxwm9U19yBqppxVPb27H19-CAXZux48nP5jUCqYJqU-OC7QIrZtflfTOp50qPIS5itsZtBL612MnWzqmuRMm2TnmhHVuYyQ7BycX_4oBRlzxPxWEeOU6X4Gf/s550/prophet2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="550" data-original-width="550" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzxyLz1ZuZ7ZGsn0hATFjC4MmEIFtKBhwuHHlyPrgzR1Od_NN0Dpdjz55HfbsNnV6zpFoTQxwm9U19yBqppxVPb27H19-CAXZux48nP5jUCqYJqU-OC7QIrZtflfTOp50qPIS5itsZtBL612MnWzqmuRMm2TnmhHVuYyQ7BycX_4oBRlzxPxWEeOU6X4Gf/s320/prophet2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <p></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Here's the summary of the teachings of
Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) that he emphasized during his last sermon
(Khutbah) of Hajj. He said:</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">*******************************************</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><u>“<b>Remember, one day
you will appear before Allah</b></u></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><u><b>and answer your
deeds! So beware, do not stray</b></u></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><u><b>from the path of
righteousness after I am gone!”</b></u></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><u><b>-- Prophet Muhammad</b></u></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">*******************************************</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">”O People! It is true that you have
certain rights with regard to your women, but they also have rights
over you. Remember that you have taken them as your wives only under
Allah's trust and with His permission! If they abide by your right
then to them belongs the right to be fed and clothed in kindness. Do
treat your women well and be kind to them for they are your partners
and committed helpers. And it is your right that they do not make
friends with any one of whom you do not approve, as well as never to
be unchaste.”</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">**************************************</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><u>“<b>Return the goods
entrusted to you to their</b></u></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><u><b>rightful owners!
Hurt no one so that no one</b></u></p>

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><u><b>-- Prophet Muhammad</b></u></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">**************************************</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">”Beware of Satan, for the safety of
your religion. He has lost all hope that he will ever be able to lead
you astray in big things, so beware of following him in small
things.”</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">”Learn that every Muslim is a brother
to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood.
Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow
Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not, therefore,
do injustice to yourselves.”</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilnnuj8uxwF0KVjfLOZDFqjMcY6FKbGvdQZRVAKl0PeT3gTMHnqL9LZlvK-3SBkIkElke_tdjOcposW8wxF_wOCx_aXNdZqlfs5Egh_CMYAw9zU9EcCoQ9u-rxq3x2ppAHIXm7BjqWW0SnySRBi4uS5YoIgdpN739rxOXCzaaETUb7MmZrYceeIlofMVan/s800/gandhi.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="419" data-original-width="800" height="168" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilnnuj8uxwF0KVjfLOZDFqjMcY6FKbGvdQZRVAKl0PeT3gTMHnqL9LZlvK-3SBkIkElke_tdjOcposW8wxF_wOCx_aXNdZqlfs5Egh_CMYAw9zU9EcCoQ9u-rxq3x2ppAHIXm7BjqWW0SnySRBi4uS5YoIgdpN739rxOXCzaaETUb7MmZrYceeIlofMVan/s320/gandhi.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p>

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">“Whoso desires power,
(should know</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">that) all power belongs to
Allah.”</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">(al-Quran 35:10)</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Man is greedy for power, money and
fame. Any one of these three elements can turn his head and he can
become an arrogant person. The Almighty Allah does not like
arrogance. When you become powerful, by grace of God, don’t let the
power go through your head. It might prove more harmful than
beneficial. Money and power (authority) can solve most of the
problems the mankind is facing today. But at the same time, if these
two are not rightly controlled or directed through proper channels,
they themselves can create havoc in the world.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">It is difficult to separate money from
authority. Money is power and so is the authority. All power is evil
(fitna) if it is not used for the benefit and welfare of mankind. In
this age, it is the power that is creating all kinds of social,
economic and political problems for mankind. Humans are known for the
abuse of power. They cannot handle it. Power should be used to
enforce justice, and eradicate inequality and injustice. But in this
world what we see today is that power is being used to control
others; to get the maximum material benefits; and escape from
justice. This is corruption. Power should be taken from the hands of
the corrupt and given to the honest and God-fearing. That will make
the world an ideal place.
</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">“And walk not in the
earth exultant!</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Lo! You cannot rend the
earth, nor can</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">you stretch to the height
of the hills.</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The evil of all that is
hateful in the</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">sight of thy Lord.”</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">(al-Quran 17:37-38)</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Power is a Godly quality and only God
can use it justly. Human beings, when given power, often try to play
God and end up doing injustice to the fellow humans. They cannot
resist the temptation, therefore, the corruption prevails. Power is
responsibility and it should be used for the service to humanity. A
ruler/governor who enjoys power, is actually given responsibility to
serve his people. A ruler is a servant of Allah and he should serve
His people; take care of them, solve their problems and promote peace
and justice in the society. But the modern day ruler, on the
contrary, considers himself as “king” of the people and takes
people as his servants. He likes it very much when people gather in
rows for his reception, bow in front of him and kiss his hand.

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">**********************************</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><b>Dishonest and corrupt
politicians with</b></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><b>feudal background
exploit the system </b>
</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><b>and enjoy luxury life
at public expense!</b></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><b>They should be screened
and barred</b></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><b>from contesting
elections.</b></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">**********************************</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Now, take a minute and think about it.
Sometimes, a bad ruler has ignorant cronies around him who are even
worse than him. They cross all limits to please the ruler and benefit
from their position. Many a time the ruler is not aware of what they
do.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">On the Day of Judgment, all rulers
would be asked questions about their people. A ruler must be a humble
and God-fearing servant of people, and not an arrogant tyrant. He is
responsible for social justice, equality, peace and prosperity of his
nation. He is not allowed to take people’s money or property. He is
answerable to God for the sufferings of his people (due to
injustice), during his tenure.</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">“Lo, Allah commands you
that you restore</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">deposits to their owners,
and if you judge</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">between mankind, that you
judge justly.”</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">(al-Quran 4:58)</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The problem with us, Muslims, is that
we don’t fear Allah. We don’t think that we are going to die
sooner or later. We don’t think about the Day of Judgment and
answering questions in front of Allah. We have become hypocrites
(Munafiq) as we say one thing and we do something else. We lie to
others every day and we don’t consider it a sin or something
immoral. It is accepted as normal behavior in the society. We read
the Holy Quran and still we don’t get the message! We read about
other nations and generations that were destroyed because of their
sins and evil-doing but we don’t learn any lesson from the Quran,
nor from the history of the nations. We know that it happened to
other nations but we think it is not going to happen to us. Why not?
Allah says:</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">“How many a township
have We destroyed</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">while it was sinful, so
that it lies (to this day)</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">in ruins, and (how many) a
deserted well and</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">lofty tower! Have they not
traveled in the land,</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">so that they may have
hearts wherewith to feel,</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">and ears wherewith to
hear? For indeed it is</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">not the eyes that grow
blind, but it is the hearts,</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">which are within the
bosoms, that grow blind.”</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">(al-Quran 22:45-46)</p>
<p align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 0.17in; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
The funny thing in most of the Muslim countries is that everybody who
works for the government would like to play the “boss” but nobody
takes any responsibility. We want power but no responsibility? That's
the sign of corrupt power seekers.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">As Muslims or believers in the Day of
Judgment, there should not be any doubt in our minds about the
accountability process. Allah the Almighty has reminded us of that in
many verses of the Quran. On the Day of Judgment, we'll be standing
in the court of Allah to answer questions. And the justice shall be
delivered. It has been narrated on the authority of Ibn Umar that the
Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) said:</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">"Beware! Every one of
you is a shepherd and every one</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">is answerable with regard
to his flock. The Caliph (ruler)</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">is a shepherd over the
people and shall be questioned about</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">his subjects (as to how he
conducted their affairs). A man is</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">a guardian over the
members of his family and shall be</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">questioned about them (as
to how he looked after their</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">physical and moral
well-being). A woman is a guardian</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">over the household of her
husband and his children and</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">shall be questioned about
them (as to how she managed</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">the household and brought
up the children). A slave is a</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">guardian over the property
of his master and shall be</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">questioned about it (as to
how he safeguarded his trust).</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Beware! Every one of you
is a guardian and every one</p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">of you shall be questioned
with regard to his trust.”</p>
