Bismillah hiRohmaNiiRohiim
Allah guide me please.

Yaa Mujiibu Yaa Kareem Yaa Hanan
Yaa Annaas, Ya Annaas, Ya Annaas.
Taubat, taubat, taubat
The time is coming when the one will come and the time will be no more. The time for taubat will be no more, when he comes.
Oh mankind, oh mankind, oh mankind… repent. When the sea becomes the sky and the sky becomes the sea. That will be a sign, when the time to repent will be no more.
I love you but my soul is sad and the time will be when the sinners will not be accepted their repentance, if not now they repent.
When he comes it is a sign that the world will not have much time left. Yaa annas , ya annas, ya annas…taubat.

9.SURAH AT TAUBAH
1. A (declaration) of immunity from Allah and His Messenger to those of the pagans with whom ye have contracted mutual alliances.―
2. Go ye, then for four months, backwards and forwards, (as ye will), throughout the land, but know ye that ye cannot frustrate Allah (by your falsehood) but that Allah will cover with shame those who reject Him.
3. And an announcement from Allah and His Messenger, to the people (assembled) on the day of the Great Pilgrimage― that Allah and His Messenger dissolve (treaty) obligations with the pagans. If, then ye repent, it were best for you; but if ye turn away know ye that ye cannot frustrate Allah. And proclaim a grievous penalty to those who reject Faith.
4. (But the treaties are) not dissolved with those pagans with whom Ye have entered into alliance and who have not subsequently failed you in aught, nor aided anyone against you. So fulfil your engagements with them to the end of their term: for Allah loveth the righteous.
5. But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
6. If one amongst the pagans ask thee for asylum, grant it to him, so that he may hear the word of Allah; and then escort him to where he can be secure: That is because they are men without knowledge.
7. How can there be a league before Allah and His Messenger, with the pagans, except those with whom ye made a treaty near the Sacred Mosque? As long as these stand true to you stand ye true to them: for Allah doth love the righteous.
8. How (can there be such a league), seeing that if they get an advantage over you, they respect not in you the ties either of kinship or of covenant? With (fair words from) their mouths they entice you, but their hearts are averse from you; and most of them are rebellious and wicked.
9. The signs of Allah have they sold for a miserable price, and (many) have they hindered from His way: evil indeed are the deeds they have done.
10. In a Believer they respect not the ties either of kinship or of covenant! It is they who have transgressed all bounds.
11. But (even so) if they repent, establish regular prayers, and practise regular charity― they are your brethren in Faith: (thus) do We explain signs in detail, for those who understand.
12. But if they violate their oaths after their covenant, and attack for your Faith― fight ye the chiefs of Unfaith: for their oaths are nothing to them: that thus they may be restrained.
13. Will ye not fight people who violated their oaths, plotted to expel the Messenger and took the aggressive by being the first (to assault) you? Do ye fear them? Nay it is Allah whom ye should more justly fear, if ye believe!
14. Fight them and Allah will punish them by your hands cover them with shame, help you (to victory) over them, heal the breasts of Believers.
15. And still the indignation of their hearts. For Allah will turn (in mercy) to whom He will; and Allah is All-Knowing All-Wise.
16. Or think ye that ye Shall be abandoned, as though Allah did not know those among you who strive with might and main, and take none for friends and protectors except Allah, His Messenger and the (community of) Believers? But Allah is well-acquainted with (all) that ye do.
17. It is not for such as join gods with Allah to visit or maintain the mosques of Allah while they witness against their own souls to infidelity. The works of such bear no fruit: in Fire shall they dwell.
18. The mosques of Allah shall be visited and maintained by such as believe in Allah and the Last Day, establish regular prayers, and practise regular charity, and fear none (at all) except Allah. It is they who are expected to be on true guidance.
19. Do ye make the giving of drink to pilgrims or the maintenance of the Sacred Mosque, equal to (the pious service of) those who believe in Allah and the Last Day and strive with might and main in the cause of Allah? They are not comparable in the sight of Allah: and Allah guides not those who do wrong.
20. Those who believe and suffer exile and strive with might and main in Allah's cause, with their goods and their persons, have the highest rank in the sight of Allah: they are the people who will achieve (salvation).
21. Their Lord doth give them glad tidings of a Mercy from Himself, of His good pleasure, and of Gardens for them wherein are delights that endure.
22. They will dwell therein forever. Verily in Allah's presence is a reward the greatest (of all).
23. O ye who believe! Take not for protectors your fathers and your brothers if they love infidelity above faith: if any of you do so they do wrong.
24. Say: If it be that your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your mates, or your kindred; the wealth that ye have gained; the commerce in which ye fear a decline; or the dwellings in which ye delight― are dearer to you than Allah or His Messenger or the striving in His cause; then wait until Allah brings about His decision: and Allah guides not the rebellious.
25. Assuredly Allah did help you in many battle-fields and on the day of Hunayn: behold! your great numbers elated you, but they availed you naught: the land for all that it is wide, did constrain you and ye turned back in retreat.
26. But Allah did pour His calm on the Mssenger and on the Believers and sent down forces which ye saw not: He punished the Unbelievers: thus doth He reward those without Faith.
27. Again will Allah after this turn (in mercy) to whom He will: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
28. O ye who believe! Truly the pagans are unclean; so let them not, after this year of theirs approach the Sacred Mosque. And if ye fear poverty, soon will Allah enrich you, if He wills out of His bounty for Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
29. Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger nor, acknowledge the Religion of Truth from among the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.
30. The Jews call Uzayr a son of Allah and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouths; (in this) they but imitate what the Unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth!
31. They take their priests and their anchorites to be their lords in derogation of Allah, and (they take as their Lord) Christ the son of Mary; Yet they were commanded to worship but one Allah: there is no god but He. Praise and glory to him: (far is He) from having the parents they associate (with him).
32. Fain would they extinguish Allah's light with their mouths but Allah will not allow but that His light should be perfected, even though the unbelievers may detest (it).
33. It is He who hath sent His Messenger with Guidance and Religion of Truth to proclaim it over all religion, even though the pagans may detest (it).
34. O ye who believe! There are indeed many among the priests and anchorites, who in falsehood devour the wealth of men and hinder (them) from the Way of Allah. And there are those who bury gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah: announce unto them a most grievous penalty.
35. On the Day when heat will be produced out of that (wealth) in the fire of Hell, and with it will be branded their foreheads, their flanks and their backs― "This is the (treasure) which ye buried for yourselves: taste ye, then the (treasures) ye buried!"
36. The number of months in the sight of Allah is twelve (in a year)― so ordained by Him the day He created the heavens and the earth; of them four are sacred; that is the straight usage. So wrong not yourselves therein and fight the pagans all together as they fight you all together. But know that Allah is with those who restrain themselves.
37. Verily the transposing (of a prohibited month) is an addition to Unbelief: the Unbelievers are led to wrong thereby: for they make it lawful one year, and forbidden another year, in order to adjust the number of months forbidden by Allah and make such forbidden ones lawful. The evil of their course seems pleasing to them. But Allah guideth not those who reject Faith.
38. O ye who believe! what is the matter with you, that when ye are asked to go forth in the cause of Allah, ye cling heavily to the earth? Do ye prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life, as compared with the Hereafter.
39. Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place; but Him ye would not harm in the least. For Allah hath power over all things.
40. If ye help not (your Leader) (it is no matter): for Allah did indeed help him; when the unbelievers drove him out: he had no more than one companion: they two were in the cave, and he said to his companion "Have no Fear, for Allah is with us": then Allah sent down His peace upon him, and strengthened him with forces which ye saw not, and humbled to the depths the word of the Unbelievers. But the word of Allah is exalted to the heights: for Allah is Exalted in might, Wise.
41. Go ye forth, (whether equipped) lightly or heavily, and strive and struggle, with your goods and your persons in the Cause of Allah. That is best for you if ye (but knew).
42. If there had been immediate gain (in sight) and the journey easy, they would (all) without doubt have followed thee, but the distance was long, (and weighed) on them. They would indeed swear by Allah "If we only could, we should certainly have come out with you" they would destroy their own souls; for Allah doth know that they are certainly lying.
43. Allah give thee grace! Why didst thou grant them exemption until those who told the truth were seen by thee in a clear light, and thou hadst proved the liars?
44. Those who believe in Allah and the Last Day ask thee for no exemption from fighting with their goods and persons. And Allah knoweth well those who do their duty.
45. Only those ask thee for exemption who believe not in Allah and the Last Da,y and whose hearts are in doubt so that they are tossed in their doubts, to and fro.
46. If they had intended to come out, they would certainly have made some preparation therefor; but Allah was averse to their being sent forth; so He made them lag behind and they were told "sit ye among those who sit (inactive)."
47. If they had come out with you, they would not have added to your (strength) but only (made for) disorder, hurrying to and fro in your midst and sowing sedition among you and there would have been some among you, who would have listened to them. But Allah knoweth well those who do wrong.
48. Indeed they had plotted sedition before, and upset matters for thee― until The Truth arrived and the Decree of Allah became manifest, much to their disgust.
49. Among them is (many) a man who says: "Grant me exemption and draw me not into trial." Have they not fallen into trial already? And indeed hell surrounds the Unbelievers (on all sides).
50. If good befalls thee it grieves them; but if a misfortune befalls thee they say "We took indeed our precautions beforehand" and they turn away rejoicing.
51. Say: "Nothing will happen to us except what Allah has decreed for us: He is our protector": and on Allah let the Believers put their trust.
52. Say: "Can you expect for us (any fate) other than one of two glorious things― (martyrdom or victory)? But we can expect for you either that Allah will send His punishment from Himself, or by our hands. So wait (expectant); we too will wait with you."
53. Say: "Spend (for the cause) willingly or unwillingly: not from you will it be accepted: for ye are indeed a people rebellious and wicked."
54. The only reasons why their contributions are not accepted are: that they reject Allah and His Messenger; that they come to prayer without earnestness; and that they offer contributions unwillingly.
55. Let not their wealth nor their (following in) sons dazzle thee: in reality Allah's plan is to punish them with these things in this life and that their souls may perish in their (very) denial of Allah.
56. They swear by Allah that they are indeed of you; but they are not of you; yet they are afraid (to appear in their true colours).
57. If they could find a place to, flee to or caves or a place of concealment, they would turn straightway thereto with an obstinate rush.
58. And among them are men who slander thee in the matter of (the distribution of) the alms. If they are given part thereof, they are pleased, but if not, behold! they are indignant!
59. If only they had been content with what Allah and His Messenger gave them, and had said "sufficient unto us is Allah! Allah and His Messenger will soon give us of His Bounty: to Allah do we turn our hopes!" (That would have been the right course).
60. Alms are for the poor and the needy, and those employed to administer the (funds); for those whose hearts have been (recently) reconciled (to Truth); for those in bondage and in debt; in the cause of Allah; and for the wayfarer: (thus is it) ordained by Allah and Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.
61. Among them are men who molest the Prophet and say "He is (all) ear." Say "He listens to what is best for you; he believes in Allah, has faith in the Believers and is a Mercy to those of you who believe": but those who molest the Prophet will have a grievous penalty.
62. To you they swear by Allah. In order to please you: but it is more fitting that they should please Allah and His Messenger if they are Believers.
63. Know they not that for those who oppose Allah and His Messenger is the Fire of Hell?― wherein they shall dwell. That is the supreme disgrace.
64. The Hypocrites are afraid lest a Surah should be sent down about them, showing them what is (really passing) in their hearts. Say: "Mock ye! But verily Allah will bring to light all that ye fear (should be revealed)."
65. If thou dost question them, they declare (with emphasis): "we were only talking idly and in play." Say: "was it at Allah and His, signs and His Messenger that ye were mocking?"
66. Make ye no excuses: ye have rejected Faith after ye had accepted it. If We pardon some of you We will punish others amongst you, for that they are in sin.
67. The Hypocrites, men and women, (have an understanding) with each other: they enjoin evil, and forbid what in just, and are close with their hands. They have forgotten Allah; so He hath forgotten them. Verily the Hypocrites are rebellious and perverse.
68. Allah hath promised the Hypocrites men and women, and the rejecters of Faith, the fire of Hell: therein shall they dwell: sufficient is it for them: for them is the curse of Allah and an enduring punishment
69. As in the case of those before you: they were mightier than you in power, and more flourishing in wealth and children. They had their enjoyment of their portion: and ye have of yours, as did those before you; and ye indulge in idle talk as they did. They!― their works are fruitless in this world and in the Hereafter and they will lose (all spiritual good).
70. Hath not the story reached them of those before them?― The people of Noah and Ad and Thamud; the people of Abraham, the men of Madyan, and the cities overthrown. To them came their Messenger with clear signs. It is not Allah who wrongs them, but they wrong their own souls.
71. The Believers men and women, are protectors one of another: they enjoin what is just, and forbid what is evil: they observe regular prayers, practice regular charity, and obey Allah and His Messenger. On them will Allah pour His mercy: for Allah is Exalted in power, Wise.
72. Allah hath promised to Believers men and women Gardens under which rivers flow, to dwell therein, and beautiful mansions in Gardens of everlasting stay. but the greatest bliss in the Good Pleasure of Allah: that is the Supreme Felicity.
73. O Prophet! strive hard against the Unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and be firm against them. Their abode is Hell― an evil refuge indeed.
74. They swear by Allah that they said nothing (evil), but indeed they uttered blasphemy, and they did it after accepting Islam; and they meditated a plot which they were unable to carry out: this revenge of theirs was (their) only return for the bounty with which Allah and His Messenger had enriched them! If they repent, it will be best for them; but if they turn back (to their evil ways), Allah will punish them with a grievous penalty in this life and in the Hereafter: they shall have none on earth to protect or help them.
75. Amongst them are men who made a covenant with Allah, that if He bestowed on them of His bounty they would give (largely) in charity, and be truly amongst those who are righteous.
76. But when He did bestow of His bounty, they became misers and turned back (from their covenant), averse (from its fulfillment).
77. So He hath put as a consequence hypocrisy into their hearts, (to last) till the Day whereon they shall meet Him: because they broke their Covenant with Allah, and because they lied (again and again).
78. Know they not that Allah doth know their secret (thoughts) and their secret counsels, and that Allah knoweth well all things unseen?
79. Those who slander such of the Believers as give themselves freely to (deeds of) charity as well as such as can find nothing to give except the fruits of their labour and throw ridicule on them,― Allah will throw back their ridicule on them: and they shall have a grievous penalty.
80. Whether thou ask for their forgiveness or not, (their sin is unforgivable): if thou ask seventy times for their forgiveness, Allah will not forgive them: because they have rejected Allah and His Messenger; and Allah guideth not those who are perversely rebellious.
81. Those who were left behind (in the Tabuk expedition) rejoiced in their inaction behind the back of the Messenger of Allah: they hated to strive and fight with their goods and their persons, in the Cause of Allah: they said "Go not forth in the heat. Say "The fire of Hell is fiercer in heat." If only they could understand!
82. Let them laugh a little: much will they weep: a recompense for the (evil) that they do.
83. If, then Allah bring thee back to any of them, and they ask thy permission to come out (with thee), say: "Never shall ye come out with me, nor fight an enemy with me: for ye preferred to sit inactive on the first occasion: then sit ye (now) with those who stay behind."
84. Nor do thou ever pray for any of them that dies, nor stand at his grave: for they rejected Allah and His Messenger and died in a state of perverse rebellion.
85. Nor let their wealth nor their (following in) sons dazzle thee: Allah's plan is to punish them with these things in this world and that their souls may perish in their (very) denial of Allah.
86. When a Surah comes down, enjoining them to believe in Allah and to strive and fight along with His Meseenger those with wealth and influence among them ask thee for exemption, and say: "Leave us (behind): we would be with those who sit (at home)."
87. They prefer to be with (the women) who remain behind (at home): their hearts are sealed and so they understand not.
88. But the Messenger and those who believe with him, strive and fight with their wealth and their persons: for them are (all) good things: and it is they who will prosper.
89. Allah hath prepared for them Gardens under which rivers flow to dwell therein: that is the supreme Felicity.
90. And there were, among the desert Arabs (also) Men who made excuses and came to claim exemption; and those who were false to Allah and His Messenger (merely) sat inactive. Soon will a grievous penalty seize the Unbelievers among them.
91. There is no blame on those who are infirm, or ill, or who find no resources to spend (on the Cause), if they are sincere (in duty) to Allah and His Messenger: no ground (of complaint) can there be against such as do right: and Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most, Merciful.
92. Nor (is there blame) on those who came to thee to be provided with mount, and when thou saidst "I can find no mounts for you," they turned back, their eyes streaming with tears of grief that they had no resources wherewith to provide the expenses.
93. The ground (of complaint) is only against such as claim exemption while they, are rich. They prefer to stay with the (women) who remain behind: Allah hath sealed their hearts; so they know not (what they miss).
94. They will present their excuses to you when ye return to them. Say thou: "Present no excuses: we shall not believe you: Allah hath already informed us of the true state of matters concerning you: it is your actions that Allah and His Messenger will observe: in the end will ye be brought back to Him who knoweth what is hidden and what is open: then will He show you the truth of all that ye did.
95. They will swear to you by Allah, when ye return to them, that ye may leave them alone. So leave them alone: For they are an abomination, and Hell is their dwelling place― a fitting recompense for the (evil) that they did.
96. They will swear unto you, that ye may be pleased with them, but if ye are pleased with them Allah is not pleased with those who disobey.
97. The Arabs of the desert are the worst in unbelief and hypocrisy and most fitted to be in ignorance of the command which Allah hath sent down to His Messenger: but Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
98. Some of the desert Arabs Look upon their payments as a fine, and watch for disasters for you: on them be the disaster of Evil: for Allah is He who heareth and knoweth (all things).
99. But some of the desert Arabs believe in Allah and the Last Day, and look on their payments as pious gifts bringing them nearer to Allah and obtaining the prayers of the Messenger. Aye, indeed they bring them nearer (to Him): soon will Allah admit them to His Mercy: for Allah is Oft- Forgiving, Most Merciful.
100. The vanguard (of Islam)― the first of those who forsook (their homes) and of those who gave them aid, and (also) those who follow them in (all) good deeds― well― pleased is Allah with them, as are they with Him: for them hath He prepared Gardens under which rivers flow, to dwell therein forever: that is the Supreme Felicity.
101. Certain of the desert Arabs round about you are Hypocrites, as well as (desert Arabs) among the Madinah folk: they are obstinate in hypocrisy: thou knowest them not: We know them: twice shall We punish them, and in addition shall they be sent to a grievous penalty.
102. Others (there are who) have acknowledged their wrong-doings: they have mixed an act that was good with another that was evil. Perhaps Allah will turn unto them (in mercy): for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
103. Of their wealth take alms, that so thou mightest purify and sanctify them; and pray on their behalf. Verily thy prayers are a source of security for them: and Allah is One Who heareth and knoweth.
104. Know they not that Allah doth accept repentance from His votaries and receives their gifts of charity and that Allah is verily He, the Oft-Returning, Most-Merciful?
105. And say: "Work (righteousness): soon will Allah observe your work, and His Messenger and the Believers: soon will ye be brought back to the knower of what is hidden and what is open: then will He show you the truth of all that ye did."
106. There are (yet) others, held in suspense for the command of Allah, whether He will punish them, or turn in mercy to them: and Allah is All-Knowing, Wise.
107. And there are those who put up a mosque by way of mischief and infidelity― to disunite the Believers and in preparation for one who warred against Allah and His Messenger aforetime. They will indeed swear that their intention is nothing but good; but Allah doth declare that they are certainly liars.
108. Never stand thou forth therein. There is a mosque whose foundation was laid from the first day on piety; it is more worthy of thy standing forth (for prayer) therein. In it are men who love to be purified; and Allah loveth those who make themselves pure.
109. Which then is best?― he that layeth his foundation on piety to Allah and His Good pleasure?― or he that layeth his foundation on an undermined sand-cliff ready to crumble to pieces? And it doth crumble to pieces with him, into the fire of Hell. And Allah guideth not people that do wrong.
110. The foundation of those who so build is never free from suspicion and shakiness in their hearts until their hearts, are cut to pieces. And Allah is All-Knowing Wise.
111. Allah hath purchased of the Believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the Garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in Truth, through the Law, the Gospel and the Qur'an: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? Then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme.
112. Those that turn (to Allah) in repentance: that serve Him and praise Him; that wander in devotion to the Cause of Allah;― that bow down and prostrate themselves in prayer; that enjoin good and forbid evil; and observe the limits set by Allah; (these do rejoice). So proclaim the glad tidings to the Believers.
113. It is not fitting, for the prophet and those who believe, that they should pray for forgiveness for pagans, even though they be of kin, after it is clear to them that they are companions of the Fire.
114. And Abraham prayed for his father's forgiveness only because of a promise he had made to him. But when it became clear to him that he was an enemy to Allah, he dissociated himself from him: for Abraham was most tender-hearted forbearing.
115. And Allah will not mislead a people after He hath guided them, in order that He may make clear to them what to fear (and avoid)― for Allah hath knowledge of all things.
116. Unto Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth. He giveth life and He taketh it. Except for Him ye have no protector nor helper.
117. Allah turned with favour to the prophet, the Muhajirs, and the Ansar― who followed Him in a time of distress, after that the hearts of a part of them had nearly swerved (from duty); but He turned to them (also): for He is unto them Most Kind, Most Merciful.
118. (He turned in mercy also) to the three who were left behind: (they felt guilty) to such a degree that the earth seemed constrained to them, for all its speciousness and their (very) souls seemed straitened to them― and they perceived that there is no fleeing from Allah (and no refuge) but to Himself. Then He turned to them, that they might repent: for Allah is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.
119. O ye who believe! Fear Allah and be with those who are true (in word and deed).
120. It was not fitting for the people of Madinah and the Bedouin Arabs of the neighborhood, to refuse to follow Allah's Messenger nor to prefer their own lives to his: because nothing could they suffer, or do, but was reckoned to their credit as a deed of righteousness whether they suffered thirst or fatigue or hunger in the cause of Allah, or trod paths to raise the ire of the Unbelievers, or received any injury whatever from an enemy: for Allah suffereth not the reward to be lost of those who do good;―
121. Nor could they spend anything (for the cause) small or great nor cut across a valley, but the deed is inscribed to their credit; that Allah may requite their deed with the best (possible reward).
122. Nor should the Believers all go forth together: if a contingent from every expedition remained behind, they could devote themselves to studies in religion and admonish the people when they return to them― that thus they (may learn) to guard themselves (against evil).
123. O ye who believe! Fight the Unbelievers who gird you about, and let them find firmness in you; and know that Allah is with those who fear him.
124. Whenever there cometh down a Surah, some of them say: "which of you has had his faith increased by it? Yea, those who believe― their faith is increased, and they do rejoice.
125. But those in whose hearts is a disease― it will add doubt to their doubt― and they will die in a state of Unbelief.
126. See they not that they are tried every year once or twice? Yet they turn not in repentance and they take no heed.
127. Whenever there cometh down a Surah, they look at each other, (saying) "Doth anyone see you?" Then they turn aside: Allah hath turned their hearts (from the light); for they are a people that understand not.
128. Now hath come unto you an messenger from amongst yourselves: it grieves him that ye should perish: ardently anxious is he over you: to the Believers is he most kind and merciful.
129. But if they turn away, Say : "Allah sufficeth me: There is not god but He: On Him is my trust - He the Lord of the Throne (of Glory) Supreme!

The progress of our reformation and evolution as spirit in human form

Evolution

Many strange events are taking place and so fast. Our technology is advancing at a pace so fast, our brains and abilities cannot catch up. There are many things distracting us from the real changes that are taking place in and around the globe, as well as the entire Universe. Planets are retrograding, we don’t hear about it as much as how much we hear about any new item on the market or new programs, we are being inundated with technology which is stifling our very own capabilities of advancing in our own energies. I have been experiencing an increase in ability to seep and scan info, knowledge, basically, advancing in brain frequencies which enable higher information to come through. These information received may be in the form of communications or dreams, or holograms, whatever it is keeping the mind alerted will bear the fruits of much knowledge. Hence, the verification of these knowledge will come from outer sources in this real world, like an information I get about fighting the evil and negative forces in the world, there are the green forces and the red forces, and then I get verification by others sight into the reality, they see what I know, they draw or paint what I see or I see what they feel, and so on and so forth. People that have been given the ability to understand faster than others go by various names and identities because we all evolve, and the names added on reflect the characteristics of the spirit, soul and energy form. Anyone stuck in the realm of frigid thinking without evolution, will find all this so confusing, and those “gifted” or evolving faster, find themselves spiraled into a zone of being many people at one time, being able to fit in on all levels , truly the spiritual enlightenment comes to everyone, some who cannot move with the changes fast enough will be left to wonder, some argue, some refute, others fight against it and find faults with those that have accepted their changes or modifications. This all happens on the brain frequency level, the human form will probably evolve to suit the changes the brain progression allows, not meaning we shall grow extra limbs but we will have heightened physical attributes, such as increase in strength, hearing, seeing, astral travelling, being in more than one dimension at a time, that will begin to happen, as the Earth and all the electro magnetic energy evolves around us. Allah SWT did not and has not stopped creating, the religion has been perfected, Islam, the last and seal of Messengers saaw has been sent, now is the evolution process, the process that we call Hereafter, where we live forever, we assume death is the end when death is the beginning of the next part of it’s existence. We have existed  for a long time, not in this level or plane, we adjusted ourselves when we were in the womb to live here, the next, soul or ruuh will adjust to migrate. Therefore, nothing is permanent. In Heaven, a majestic dwelling, we have and get whatever we desire, we progress to that end by deeds, these same deeds ,observances or commitments in devotions are the very same deeds that help the evolution of the soul to transcend from the Earth level to the other dimensions. I go by several names which often surprise people and they become confused, Surely, a pen name, a nick name, a soul name, a birth name, a chosen name and a given name cannot be wronged.Each endowed human will feel a need for changes unknowingly as they go through their spiritual progress. We will keep developing as the embryo did, to a baby, so the soul shall till it reaches the heights while still in the human form or when it leaves the human form, either way, you will transform. All the busy-ness of today, will prevent these developments, you will be regimented and your mind reprogrammed by them who do not want you to progress, because the technology makes you dependent on it and without it you will wonder what else you should be doing. That is why in Islam, we take a break by sholat, namaz, praying five times a day, to not only practice daily, committed rituals in devotions thereby learning responsibility and commitment , but also to release from the world and all it offers that take our time away from progressing our brain function.Our silent zikirullah ALLAH HU ALLAH, THE FORCE OF LIFE, THE ENERGY THAT ALTERS AND BINDS, CREATES GREAT ENERGY , ERADICATES NEGATIVITY, and the heard zikir LAA ILAA HA ILALLAH expands our brain capabilities and functions, reciting AL QUR’AN is a beneficial for the health as well as a source of guidance and a book of history, verification and also information, we have been given the tools to progress, to develop, to follow, and by so doing , we shall feel the benefits of the evolution of spirit and the energising of the soul. Allah SWT has only wanted to give us ease. We just need to follow, and all else will fall into place, When we deny it, the evolution is still in progress, the evolution is in progress, souls caught up in the worldly affairs and it’s distractions, will be left behind to try and make sense of everything, and they will look for other means of explanation, which will take them further from their intended destination.Our trials are given so we can sustain the bigger tests. Any small upheaval which causes misery is a lesson to be learnt, not a punishment. Our faults and bad choices causes our pain, our inability to accept causes our pain, when we “go with the flow” the journey takes a longer but easier route. Fight the waves, leaves you tired and not progressing.

May we all be in touch with all the changes occurring, accept our evolution, decide to be less dependent on other things and more independent.

Happiness is the key ,peace is the destination, love is the motivation, and light is our disposition.

The Ominous self degradation of muslims

IMG_4027_edited-1

“Miscommunication, inability to communicate,the absence of proper positive conflict resolution by means of communication;misguided by emotions that create a wall and negative energy in self.These are life killers, enjoyment busters and  energy zappers, within our own selves.”

 

“As I perceive Islam as a perfect guidance for mankind, wherein, among the people of the world who do not hold the faith; we have so many conflicts and attacks against Islam, that the internal conflicts among muslims must be halted for the sake of Islam and the sacrifices of Rasulallah saaw. If we as muslims say “We love Islam and Rasulallah saaw”, we need to prove it so! This happens when we have the characteristics which complement our beloved Rasulallah saaw. Allah does not look at the bloodline or hierarchy but He looks at our hearts.No one is better in His sight except that He judges our iman.”~LorraineNur

It is totally impossible to penetrate a mind that is closed and will not free itself to understanding. In most cases, the people that go through this are people that choose not to develop, are stuck in their own mindset, they are those that refuse to accept reality and they put themselves in denial. They feel their fears are too huge to combat, hence they prefer to live in a bubble of self illusions. These characters make life completely miserable and have a way of inflicting their negative position as a poison that infects everything in their surroundings, bordering perhaps on a psychological state of depression. These people find it hard to handle conflict, feel greater when they can control situations which make life difficult for others, whether they realise it or not. They live a lie and they contribute lies. These factors are a troublesome hindrance for those that want to improve themselves. They have faith but they cannot apply it. They have  devotions which don’t show their effectiveness, they have a mind they don’t want to use, they have intelligence that they abuse, all by choosing ways that are destructive, not intending on benefiting nor improving themselves, others or circumstances. These entities are loathsome when they prove by their own personalities and characters , that they have debris of hate and jealousy lodged in their hearts. Hypocritical behaviour and conflicting actions are another sign of the negative energy they carry with them. They soil the people in their environment with their distasteful attitude towards any situation or circumstance that they feel jeopardises their position. They have a hard time trusting  because they themselves cannot be trusted. These kinds of people abuse rights of others when they feel threatened.They never have any intention to make a situation better if they feel they will “lose out”. The most amazing point of realisation, they feel empowered by manipulative tactics which they create. There is no means to communicate anything to a closed mind, that has limited brain function, who are in constant defensive mode and start everything in attack mode. These are mules in human form. Their stubbornness is a burden. They do not reflect light. They are in constant darkness and worry. Their shield are worldly matters and their thought process is only on the physical attributes of existence. They forget about the soul and the nurturing of it.They are also cowards, brave in packs and use tactical terror to abuse a person’s rights.

When faced with these self righteous poor examples of humans, what do we need to apply, for a successful positive outcome? For all they know what to do is complain and find fault with every single matter, that have no basis of principles. they go on finding faults that eventually become absurd and ridiculous, mirroring their lack of confidence and their lack of intelligence. They prove themselves to be unworthy of further attention. Their low self esteem brings about the negative connotation as people with no compassion or empathy, not knowing respect nor unconditional love for humankind. Hence, they are engulfed in protecting themselves till they become paranoid.

There is a limit to what help we can offer to these individuals; through support, explanations,positive thinking,reality checks, information;and if they choose to ignore all these,there is nothing we can do but leave them to their own self inflicted misery. But when they make life difficult for others’ with their lies and deceit, their pride in a position of temporary power to control a situation, they make the unnecessary inevitable outcome, which may not be their choice , happen. Only because they refused to cooperate from the beginning, they forget that others’ also have choices. Now, the retaliation or response ability heightens to reacting to a situation , not to life. They have no knowledge on what fairness is, they are self indulgent and selfish.

“Ego and ignorance are their fortitude, harassment their badge, rudeness their mode of conduct, self pity their destruction.”

I choose to move away from negative forces like these, I choose to eradicate them from my life, I do so when they have proven themselves to be such.

Unfortunately, there are people like this within Islam that make claims about lineage, they abuse their “stature”, they contribute to the destruction of Islam, by their bad characters. They judge and revile others when they need to help because of their so-called , self proclaimed lineage, from our Holy Prophet’s grandchildren but they make an absolute mockery of their self proclaimed ancestry. For if they were truly so, we would see better examples of how to be great caliphs and motivators in life. Not destructors. I am so disappointed and sad to mention this, because of my love for Islam as a chosen path, I find more concrete sincerity within those that choose Islam for themselves and from “normal” muslims who have no lineage claims.If I were them, I would shut up about the lineage claim until I pose an image to the like. In my utmost amazement, no reminders through Al Qur’an nor sunnah of our beloved Prophet saaw, has impacted on a specific group of people I speak about. I make mention in general about the whole issue of miscommunication because it is a fact many face this difficulty. On a personal note, I have had this particular experience with specific muslims that wear the tag of the “descendants of the grandchildren of Rasulallah saaw,which make it more disappointing for me as a revert.

I pray that Allah SWT in His Grace and Benevolence, bestows hikmah and hidayah to these people who have lost their way, and that He will give them the light of guidance to shine from the breasts and hearts.That they will think and act as the sunnah exemplified by our beloved Prophet Muhammad saaw, and not banter about what Al Qur’an has allowed. That a man’s rights will not be abused nor a woman’s rights be neglected.

5. Surah Al-Ma'idah (The Table Spread with Food)

48. And We have sent down to you (O Muhammad ) the Book (this Qur'an) in truth, confirming the Scripture that came before it and Mohayminan (trustworthy in highness and a witness) over it (old Scriptures) . So judge between them by what Allah has revealed, and follow not their vain desires, diverging away from the truth that has come to you. To each among you, We have prescribed a law and a clear way. If Allah willed, He would have made you one nation, but that (He) may test you in what He has given you; so strive as in a race in good deeds. The return of you (all) is to Allah; then He will inform you about that in which you used to differ.

49……And truly, most of men are Fasiqun (rebellious and disobedient to Allah).

May we all be rightly guided to the path of good and truth.

Peran Ulama sebagai Pemersatu Ummat

Habib Umar bin Hafidh

“Tugas penting ini berdampak positif dalam menghalau pengrusakan, memberikan solusi terhadap pelbagai permasalahan dan menutup jalan bagi musuh Islam untuk masuk menyerang ummat Islam.

Hilangnya penghayatan nilai-nilai ini menyebabkan terbukanya pintu dan celah untuk menghancurkan ummat Islam juga melumpuhkan potensi intelektual, pengetahuan dan sumber daya alam yang mereka miliki dengan mengadu domba diantara mereka satu sama lain sebagai ganti dari upaya peningkatan kualitas mereka sebagai ganti dari upaya menghalau tipu muslihat mereka yang berbuat melampau batas,mereka yang zhalim,melampaui batasan hukum, yang berperan merusak moral dan polar fikir ummat Islam.

Alih-alih mereka bersatu dalam upaya menghalau keburukan tersebut ataupun mencurahkan ide pemikiran, harta dan waktu untuk menghalau kejahatan ini, serta memperkokohkan ummat, meningkatkan kualitas dan memajukan mereka lenyap dan terbuang sia-sia mayoritas pemikiran, harta dan waktu mereka juga potensi keilmuan , intelektualitas hanya demi perseteruan panjang diantara sesama ummat Islam. Tanpa disadari, hal tersebut memperkuat musuh mereka dan membuka celah lemah ummat Islam, menggoncang kedudukan dan kemapanan mereka, karena sebab itulah , tersebar kerusakkan polar fikir,akhlak, dan rusaknya kerukunan diantara mereka juga dalam penunaian perintah da’wah sesama ummat maupun golongan lain selain ummat Islam yang ada di permukaan Bumi, karena keagungan dalam penegakan tugas agama ini terletak pada cara kita menyampaikan amanat ini dengan baik terhadap siapapun dimuka bumi ini, juga terhadap semua golongan yang kafir karena agama ini datang tidak hanya khusus untuk kita ataupun khusus untuk satu desa maupun negara tertentu bersabda Nabi Besar Muhammad (saaw) “Nabi terdahulu diutus hanya untuk kaumnya dan aku di utus untuk sekalian manusia.”

Zikirullah – Method , an excerpt

 

IMG_4025_edited-1

Tasbih Dhikr Meditations
In Islam the main practice of tafakkur is through recitation of the divine Names, dhikrullah, because the Names are the qualities and ‘energies’ of Allah. It is a proof of Allah’s love to us that they are revealed and known, for one only shares oneself with one’s beloved. Each Name is a light and a power streaming from the Source of Reality. By lovingly repeating them we merge with their light and are returned and dissolved into our Source. We should learn all of the Names and feel them flowing through our hearts. The recitations of Holy Quran and the Litanies are in themselves forms of contemplation for they consist entirely of the Beautiful Names.
Among the Names most recommended to recite are La ilaha ilallah Muhammad rasulallah, Allah, Hu, Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim, Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, and Allahu Akbar, the Names given in one’s personal tasbih, and the names and phrases in the litanies.
La ilaha ilallah is the sword of light which cuts through illusion, clearing the ‘courtyard of the heart’ from all obstruction so that the light of the heart shines forth. This clearing restores the heart to its original station of Truth, and love is released from its bondage to the world and finds its true home in Allah. Our eye is healed so that we see with the divine eye and we are naturally and spontaneously in constant divine presence.
Allah is the Name of power (Ismi Jalal). Through reciting this name we increase our longing and burning for Allah, and it is to the degree that we long that we are answered. In reality, our longing is Allah’s longing and our calling is Allah’s calling. This mutual longing is the fire that becomes the light that reveals the face of Allah as our own essential face. We call on Allah knowing that Allah is nearer to us than our own life breath. Allah is the source and matrix of our existence, the unity of our being, the embrace of all that we are, the fulfillment of all desire. In calling Allah’s name we reach our true self.
Hu is the name of Essence beyond all the Names. It exists before the Names and after them, it exists as the essence of all, and beyond all. Hu is the divine merciful breath which contains in Itself all forms and all beings of the entire creation, while Itself remains uncontainable and ungraspable. Hu also has the meaning ‘He’, and for the Sufis this is a very intimate name. This ‘He’ is not a gender indication but calls on the One Who is adored. Therefore Hu combines both intimacy and inconceivability, what cannot be reached by the intellect. Only the heart can know Hu. In reciting this name one is very quickly brought to a state of blessed bewilderment in which mind and body dissolve and one merges into the divine breath. This state is a beautiful taste of tafakur.
Following are two different forms of meditative tasbih:
Shaykh Nur recommended beginning with the recitation of La ilaha ilallah, Allah, or Hu in an audible voice, then lowering the invocation to a whisper, then bringing it into the heart so that it is outwardly inaudible but inwardly heard. In the final step, leave the name and go into the open space beyond the name. Remain there for the time you desire, or until thoughts begin stirring. It could be a moment or a prolonged time. Then return to the name, at first silent in the heart, and then audible on the tongue. Continue this cycle, going into silence and open space and then out again for a set number of repetitions. As long as you recite the name, use the tasbih to count so that you offer one of the recommended nubers: 11, 33, 100, 165, or 500.
Repeat the name at a very rapid pace, then gradually reduce the tempo until the repetition entirely ceases and one remains suspended in a state of radiance.
Breath Meditations
An immediate way to awaken your heart is to focus on the breath. Allah Who creates what He wills has joined the heart and lungs together in the breast. The path of breath leads to the heart. With each in-breath and out-breath gratitude arises naturally in the heart, and the breath reveals itself as pure praise of Allah. In the realm of the body the breath has the place of Spirit, the Ruh which brings holy inspiration to the heart. When we offer breath meditation we can do so simply by following the breath in and out, or we can join it with a divine name. Remember that the out-breath is always approximately twice as long as the in-breath.
A special way of meditatiing on La ilaha ilallah is to inhale on La ilaha and exhale on ilallah, or inversely inhale on ilallah and exhale on La ilaha.”
Another tasbih of breath is practiced with the name Allah. Inhale on the A and and exhale on the -llah. Both are silent. You may visualize a luminous Arabic letter Alif* entering your heart as you inhale. With the inbreath you draw in Allah’s love. With the outbreath you extend this love to all beings.
Another meditation is to sit in tranquility, relax the mind and drop into the depth of your heart. Allow the Names to flow into this open space. Follow the Name which enters and repeat it in the heart, or let it repeat itself, until another comes in, so that there is a flow and succession of Names each calling out itself.

The supernatural phenomena and occurrence of energy

Healing power

I have been afflicted by such negative energy in the last few days. It has been a shocking attack from all directions, from afar and some from near. I seclude myself, from too much activity of people, as every person carries their own energy and vibrations, it is sometimes difficult being in such environments. I tend to absorb alot of negative energy, a cleanser of a psychic, a garbage collector of people’s bad energy, a helper in silence; and I dump it. But when the negative energy is directed at me, either directly or via another person, it is a horrific shock for my physical self, which reacts by having pains in the chest, bad headaches and breathlessness.  Sometimes , among people with whom we have spiritual and physical ties, our energies combine and we actually feel what they go through, when we remain connected. We as humans have what other creations do not have, called FREE WILL, CHOICE!

In our lives, we are often faced with many difficulties and dilemmas, this makes us go through worries and stresses. Know that you may control the effects of these negative events by choosing how you take control of it, focusing on goodness and positivity, telling yourself that you have choices, that nothing is forced upon you unless you allow the doctrines or words to be applied that make you feel forced, either by situation, environment, circumstances, attitudes, “responsibilities”, ego, fakeness and all other reasons why we do what we do but we don’t like it!

When we meet people, we will attract the like, like ourselves. So, if we keep a positive outlook, all positive should arrive, and if we do face some negative ones, because of a cause in circumstance or events, we may choose to disregard them. It all goes back to CHOICE, FREE WILL.

Now, when we fall in love, are in a relationship beginning with the chemistry ignition, this is the energy put out that connects to the one attraction. This energy collaborates, joins, fuses and the relationship is in it’s pure state begins. All goodness and beautiful, until the negative wedge is thrusted, which then impales itself into the relationship and causes disharmony, affecting the connection of energy between the two. In order to avoid such contamination, both parties should not allow the poison to affect them, for if one does, both will get infected and the relationship starts to deteriorate fast. The energy force is sometimes stronger in one then the other, till the other less strong will feel dependent on the one who is more aware. This energy is a vibrancy and a cure for many souls. Unfortunately, negativity is an energy zapper, so to defend a stance in one’s life, is not the cure  but detrimental to the energy flow. Protecting the energy but not allowing it to “leak” is fundamental, this comes from prayers and meditation, which increases the brain frequencies and allows the spirit to disconnect from the lower levels connected to daily life activities. Avoid bad thoughts and heightened negative emotions which accompany negative people. If by some need there must be dialogue, make the dialogue one that is informative, mutually to agree but then to respect if there is disagreement, trying to avoid conflict and agitation. If this is the approach, we can protect the energy around us and from ourselves. In defending oneself, in the case of an argumentative approach to discussion, we shell ourselves up spiritually, in an effort to avoid pain and heartache, we imprison our energy and diminish it.

The only way for anyone to expand their energies , is by awareness. Awareness is releasing negativity, meaning to accept bad or unacceptable situations or conditions, not blaming, eradicating negative emotions, and surrendering ; all this beneficial for the growth of soul and positive energy.

Meditation requires consistent practice till it becomes a daily activity, as breathing is for life. This makes us in a constant state of awareness, that we will remain in total control of our energy and how we use it. We will be less reactive and irresponsible, that we shall walk around feeling inner peace and exuding it.

No one can do it for you, it is the individual’s choice to make the effort and then reap the rewards. The umbilical cord of energy which joins us to others that are alike and non alike, can be severed at our will. Severing is harsh,  I read that pulling back gently while cleaning the cords , is a better way, rather than jolting.  I am a jolter when feel people abuse my good energy.

Words: We understand what words mean but what are the meaning of words? Words are important when we reaffirm positivity in ourselves. That is why zikirullah is important for soul and energy health.

The power of negative energy can radiate to affect many appliances around us, so mobile phones may suddenly not work, computers turn on and off, … we are connected by the electric impulses of all things. This recently happened to me, with no way to contact a person,  have relied on telepathy which has not worked, when I suddenly realised, I had severed the energy cords, for wanting to release from the negative impulses bounding off from that being.When before our relationship was pure, I was tapped into his entire system, which made this hard, when parted, and the physical reaction was not handled well, so I released slowly, pulling back my cords, and finally cut them off. This was a supernatural phenomena for me, as I have been aware of the effects of energy in myself, gaining and raising in frequencies.The soul will travel pass this dimension of worldly affairs that cloud our inner beings and thoughts, when we focus enough on raising our energy levels, that we may then transcend many obstacles in our daimah of life. I do believe that this energy passes from one to another by our free will and choice. God knows best: Allahu Alam.

On that note , please read for further interesting information on this subject below.

Remember, zikir (repeat the mantra) ALLAH HU ALLAH , this Universal mantra is the pure source of all LIGHT & POWER.

QUANTUM PHYSICS

At the time of the revelation of the Qur’an, quantum physics and atomic sub-articles were unknown. But in terms of both the facts indicated by and the sequences of letters within the Qur’an, it contains indications of all past and future sciences.  Another example of this can be seen in verses 37 and 39 of Surat al-Kahf, in which the names and weights of these fundamental particles are indicated in a miraculous manner. (Allah knows the truth.)

The letters that make up the word “neutron” (the Arabic letters Nun-Te-Re-Nun) appear consecutively in only two verses in the whole of the Qur’an. One of these is in verse 18:39, which itself expresses the "neutron mass = 1839 me."

As we have seen, verse 39 of Surat al-Kahf contains references to both the name of the neutron and, in terms of the verse number, of the neutron mass. (Allah knows the truth.) These letters appear consecutively in none of the other thousands of verses, and only in verse 18:39 does the word “neutron” appear.

The same thing applies to the “proton.” The letters comprising the word “proton” (the Arabic letters Be-Re-Te-Nun) appear in relatively greater numbers in the Qur’an compared to the neutron. Only in verse 37 of Surat al-Kahf, verse 18:37, in other words, do the letters comprising the word consecutively from left to right.  The proton mass is "1836-1837 me" and is generally taken as "1837 me." Therefore, the number of this verse is a direct reference to the mass of the proton, "1837 me." (Allah knows the truth.)

* There is no letter "P" in Arabic, the letter “Be” being used instead.

The words "neutron" and "proton" are written essentially the same way in Turkish, English, Arabic and other languages. Another verse that refers to these particles that comprise atoms reads as follows:

… Not even the smallest speck eludes your Lord, either on Earth or in heaven. Nor is there anything smaller than that, or larger, which is not in a Clear Book. (Surah Yunus, 61)

Seeking knowledge

 

islamic-wallpaper-basmallah-on-sea1-444x336

 

The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds. ~ John F. Kennedy

Recently, I have been thinking about writing regarding the use of knowledge. How we input and effect it on others and how we can utilise what we know for greater good, by sharing. Being a teacher by profession, sharing and imparting knowledge seems to be an integral part of my character, just as I am also constantly learning as I move forward in life. As age increases, so too should wisdom. As we mature gracefully, we inculcate all the benefits that the accumulated knowledge imparts, which ultimately, should reflect in our characters. The knowledge that I like to focus on is self improvement, because, as a woman, that has been independent since the age of twenty-two, when I left my parents’ sanctuary, I have had to gather alot of knowledge, to educate myself about various aspects of life. My focal point began with the study of Islam as my chosen religious path, culminating and continuing, as a spiritual being in human form.

On seeking knowledge

Discussing Knowledge
Ima`m al-Ba`qir, peace be on him, summoned Moslems to discuss knowledge with each other, for that opens new doors to knowledge and science. He, peace be on him, said: "Discussing knowledge is studying, and studying is a good prayer.( Usul al-Kafi, vol. 1, p. 41)

Putting Knowledge into effect
Ima`m al-Ba`qir, peace be on him, urged scholars to put their knowledge into practice. He, peace be on him, said: "When you hear knowledge, then put it into effect. Let your hearts be wide. For the person with the heart that does not encompass his abundant knowledge makes Satan powerful over him. If Satan disputed with you, then dispute with him through what you know.
Surely, the deception of Satan is weak."Ibn Abu` Layla asked him: "What is the thing which we know?"So, he, peace be on him, replied: "Dispute with Satan through the manifest strength of Allah, the Great and Almighty.

5761476

The knowledge learnt from the shariah and fiqh of Islam , has established basic foundations and rules for me to hold onto. Whilst raising a family and applying acts of devotions, as daily activities.The physical functions of devotions have been beneficial for the physical,mind and mental states, and the effects of self improvement, self empowerment, the motivational aspects of this knowledge comes from reading, understanding, reflecting and applying, what has been taught as good character based on the teachings of the Holy Qur’an and traditions (hadith) of Prophet Muhammad saaw(sal allahu alaihi wasalam).

IMG_3760

Gradually, as I continued learning and applying, I found myself gaining so many benefits, that when I was asked by others, I would gladly share the reasons why I managed to overcome many difficulties and adversities in my life, which at the time seemed so hopeless. Certainly, our destiny is unknown to us, we have hopes and visions, we make life choices, we make different curves and we tread the walk of life with so many challenges. Knowledge imparted sincerely may be accepted if it is useful , it may be kept for later use, or rejected. Pride does not exist when knowledge is shared. A word spoken in sincerity that helps one who acts upon it is better than ten that only listen. In this age when we have so many distractions, we have such limited time to focus on our spirituality. This can be achieved when we affirm a belief system and adhere to it. As always, I encourage meditation, or zikirullah,done as taught and guided by a teacher.

40. Surah Ghafir or Al-Mu'min (The Forgiver or The Believer)

15. (He is Allah) Owner of High Ranks and Degrees, the Owner of the Throne. He sends the Inspiration by His Command to any of His slaves He wills, that he (the person who receives inspiration) may warn (men) of the Day of Mutual Meeting (i.e. The Day of Resurrection).

For some gaining more knowledge can make for ignorance and foolishness when the Source of this blessing is forgotten. We have the increased technology to fly aircrafts and we are proud of it, yet in the times of our Holy Prophet saaw, he (saaw), had already travelled on a mode of transportation sent by Allah SWT, together with the arch angel Jibril as, to reach the place of Allah SWT. Our technology only allows us to travel as far the stars within our galaxy. Yet, we use the same technology, to destroy each other, a good example is the drones that are used to kill and attack civilisation. Why are we then so arrogant by our knowledge which causes chaos? Knowledge given is a responsibility meant to enhance life.

The Holy Qur' an is an ocean of divine knowledge.It is so vast that its breadth can never be seen and its depth can never be fathomed. To try to limit it, thinking that we can ever fully comprehend its meaning, is ignorant. That ocean contains everything: heaven, hell, this world, and the eighteen thousand universes. We have been told, "Swim! Immerse yourself in that ocean of divine knowledge." To know the secrets it contains, we must obtain the strength of wisdom to dive deep within it and into the depths of the qualities of God. We must cling to the faith that the kalimah inspires as we repeat its words and swim with the power of the kalimah's radiance.

BAHR AL-'ILM – EXCEPRT

The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "The guidance and knowledge with which Allah has sent me are like abundant rain which fell on a land. A fertile part of it absorbed the water and brought forth profuse herbage and pasture; and solid ground patches which retained the water by which Allah has benefited people, who drank from it, irrigated their crops and sowed their seeds; and another sandy plane which could neither retain the water nor produce herbage. Such is the similitude of the person who becomes well-versed in the religion of Allah and receives benefit from the Message entrusted to me by Allah, so he himself has learned and taught it to others; such is also the similitude of the person who has stubbornly and ignorantly rejected Allah's Guidance with which I have been sent.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

How can we begin to comprehend what being civilized is when we behave in ways that contradict our advancement in knowledge? My hope is for a world that will exercise better choices based on sound knowledge to advance and enhance life, based on solid principles of mutual love, care and understanding; perfecting humanity with justice, gentleness and concern. May we all be endowed with the generous LOVE we all have to share and create an environment of LIGHT & PEACE for all.

Rabi'a and the Scholar

A leading scholar of Basra visited Rabi`a al-Adawiyya while she was ill. Sitting beside her pillow, the scholar spoke about how terrible the world was.

In reply, Rabi`a told him:

"You love the world very dearly. If you did not love the world, you would not mention it so much. It is always the purchaser who first disparages what he wants to buy. If you were done with the world, you would not mention it either for good or evil. As it is, you keep mentioning it because, as the proverb says, whoever loves a thing mentions it frequently."

[Adapted from the "Memorial of the Saints" by Fariduddin Attar, in the abridged translation called "Muslim Saints and Mystics" by A. J. Arberry, p. 50.]

“O Allah! May Thy grace and peace rest upon Hazrat Muhammad, our Master and our patron, the Wearer of Holy Cap, the one who ascended the Heavens, the rider of the Heavenly Steed and holder of the Flag of Divine Unity, the remover of calamity, epidemic, famine, disease, and pain. His name is written in Divine edict, exalted authorized for intercession and inscribed in the Tablet and Pen.

“He is the leader of Arabs and non-Arabs. His body is the most holy, pure, fragrant, full perfected in purity and luminous in the sanctuary of Kaaba and its precincts. He is the sun of the glorious morning light, and the (full beautiful) moon of the dark night, the chief occupant of the highest seat in Heaven, light of guidance, refuge for the creatures, and lamp in the darkness. Of excellent manner, is the intercessor for mankind, one gifted with generosity and magnanimity. Allah is his protector and Angel Jibrael attends on him frequently. The Heavenly Steed is his conveyance and the glorious ascension to Heavens (to meet his Allah) is his last station in his march onwards, his object is to come in the closest company of his Allah, and this object was successfully achieved the point of destination reached and the goal covered.

“He is the most prominent amongst all the apostles, and the last in the line of the Prophets (no Prophet will come after him. I’sa will come in the capacity of his ambassador), the intercessor of Sinners, Mercy indeed for all the domains of existence, comfort for the lovers and the desired object for the yearning souls, the sun of the Gnostics, and the shining lamp for those who travel on the road leading to Allah, the lover of the poor and needy, the leader of the Jinns and all mankind, Prophet of the twin sacred centres (Makkah and Madinah), leader of the two exalted positions (Qiblas, the Kaaba of Mecca and of Jerusalem), our Supporter in both the worlds, honored with Kaaba Kausaine, the beloved of the two east and the west, the grand father of Hazrat Hassan and Hussain, our Patron and the patron of the Jinns and mankind, father of Hazrat Qassim (his son) Muhammad, son of Abdullah, who is the light of Allah’s Light. Therefore, O lovers of light and beauty of Hazrat Muhammad, invoke blessings on him and salute him with worthy salutations.”

If anyone wants to see Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in his dream, then he should recite Durood-e-Taaj on eleven Friday nights continuously and that too on the advancing stages of the moon. The pre-requisites of the Revision of the Durood are as below:-
a. Make Wudhu.
b. Put on clean scentful clothes.
c. Face the Qibla and recite Durood for 170 times, then go to bed.
For the sanctity of the soul, one should recite the Durood seven times after Salaatul Fajr, three times after Salaatul Asr and Esha, each day.

And for overcoming the cruel Rulers and enemies, and to come out of the misery of poverty, one should recite Durood for 40 days continuously, 41 times each day. One who wishes to enhance the avenues of economy in abundance, he or she must make it a routine to revise the Durood seven times each day after Salatul Fajr.

Besides all this, Durood-e-Taaj is panacea of all the present day ills and will enable the reciter to pass a happy and peaceful life for ever.

The gift of chanelling

foto (18)

I fear sometimes #channeling messages may cause offence &taken the wrong way, please be assured guides mean the best as reminders.As a muslimah,being a psychic empath, sometimes gets me in trouble, as I have neither the image nor the background of anyone worthy of receiving messages or reminders, this denotes contradiction, because Allah SWT looks at the heart not the outer looks.Allah SWT is the One who gives the gift, it depends how we utilise it, with humility, we accept this gift which we have been given for the best possible outcomes & to reaffirm all that we have been told, about life, death & beyond,does so exist.Being psychic is not mystical, it is a science, of heightened brain frequencies, which allow our souls to be be in unison with what is unseen, by energy, through thought,as long as what we are told does not go against Al Qur'an & Sunnah.As a muslim. therefore, psychics that have a calling to help others , may be helped by "others", may this be a beacon & positive support.

Ilmu Irshad – The knowledge of guidance

“Oh Allah Most Merciful, Your Pleasure I seek.Oh Allah, please send peace & blessings to our Holy Prophet Muhammad , saaw, to all his family & companions. He is the Nur from Allah, He is the beacon of this era, he is the mighty of men, the best of characters, he is the seal of the prophets, the beloved of Allah, he is the Rasul of this age who loves his ummat.”

“Ilmu Irshad”, means the knowledge of guidance or direction.

Irsyadul ibad ila sabilirrasyad -The guidance for mankind to the path of goodness

AMONG THE MANY SAINTS AND FRIENDS OF ALLAH SWT, OTHER THAN THE REVEREND PROPHETS AND THE SEAL OF ALL MUHAMMAD bin ABDILLAH wa AMINA , (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS HOUSEHOLD AND COMPANIONS), Allah SWT has given knowledge through inspiration and love, by their guidance in writings , honouring our beloved Rasulallah, (saaw -salallahu alaihi wa wasalam), and compilation of phrases from Al Qur’an Nur Kareem. Their knowledge provides reminders and beacons for those who seek guidance and direction, they are the wheels and tires; the pillars of Islam on Earth, after the demise of our Holy Prophet Muhammad saaw, through the lineage of the grandchildren of Rasulallah saaw, through his beloved daughter Hababah Fatimah AzZahra ra and Saidina Ali Bin Abi Talib Karamallahu Wajjah.

The ilmu or knowledge flows through the centuries being kept alive by those who consistently read the ratib and wirid (invocations), and sharing this knowledge among others who want to learn.

Syekh Abdul Qadir Jilani ra, one who redressed Islam, in his time wrote many books that have been motivational and inspiring, for me personally, having great admiration for his works and his dedication and courage as a leader , scholar and teacher. When I read his books, I feel as if I am in his presence and hear his voice bellow or in hushed gentle whispers, talking me to tears or lifting me in spirits. He has been a mentor for along time, through his writings.

The pearls of wisdom flow for many generations, up till today, when we find many teachers who have writings that help us to remain on the path towards goodness, towards the Nur of Guidance.

In the sites below, we can read all the popular ratib and wirid. As I journey through my life , as a spirit in human form, having migrated many times from my birth land to the land of Indonesia, where here is where I find the guidance and motivation to become a better human, walking the path of the seeker, arriving at the port of education, where all the great teachers came and spread the words of Islam, in their hijrah(migration) for the sake of Allah SWT, the love of Rasulallah saaw, and for the light of Islam.

Reading the invocations, will bring enlightenment, awareness, cooling of the heart, increasing the LOVE of ALLAH & RASULALLAH saaw. It must seep into our beings and make us more humble, afraid, pious in devotions, as well as help us to become better as humans filled with compassion and empathy.

May we all be rightly guided on our spiritual journey as spirits in human form.

Ya Allah bi ha Ya Allah bi ha Ya Allah bi husni khotimah

May we return to Him in a state that He is happy with us. Ameen Ya Rabbal Aelamiin.

May Allah SWT forgive my imperfections and accept my humble reminders which are only for His sake. Wasallallahumma  ala sayyidina Muhammadin, wa ala alihi wa shohbihi wa sallam.
