#do jinns go to heaven

[rowanthestrange]

So I had this thought while stuck on the train.

What if the golden arton energy stuff that makes people regenerate, the thing from the metacrises, the Bad Wolf inside the TARDIS, and River, etc… what if that’s a parasite? A virus?

It gets into you via direct contact - when children are exposed to the time vortex, or can be passed down from parent to child.

What if it’s its own creature? An energy being. A jinn. Whatever. Either just having ended up here from The Nothingness, or deliberately self-sustaining and self-replicating. Not necessarily unlimited, depends on how much is in you, but nonetheless there.

That as a parasite it does require a measure of consent from the person it’s attached to - and who would give that up? Survivability, healing, everything about you better and more advanced.

So Donna and Rose really can fix the metacrises by going, ‘nope, fine as I am and loving this life now actually’. Expelling the parasite. And is potentially an explanation as to why it seems both like regeneration is forced, something a Time Lords’ cells do naturally (Heaven Sent), but also why it also seems to be overridden sometimes (with the Master choosing to die).

(And not that it needs fixing, but Eleven expected to die and was going to accept that, so depending on how it works for Patient Zero (*side eyes 11’s first episode and continues*) that could be a factor).

After all, what did Tecteun call the Doctor?

What if the Time Lords weren’t ‘special’, but infected. And what would it matter, if the parasite was helpful. Of course, if it’s the same thing that’s making the TARDIS not merely a machine, but alive…

Slow {Qui-Gon Jinn x Reader]

warnings: NSFW, fat!reader, f!reader, 18+, f!receiving, innocent!reader, drabble, poorly written lol

Part 2 for Self-Care (or it can be a stand-alone fic)

This is what he looked like, post shower, once he has laid you on the bed, naked. The beads of water dripping from his hair land on your breasts and stomach as he looks down at you adoringly.

"Let me take care of you, starlight," he coos, grazing his hands over your hips to persuade you.

"I- I don't know Qui," you say hesitantly, not sure of what to expect since you were still a virgin and only have kissed Qui-Gon up to that point. You knew he would take the best care of you, gently talking you through it, but you were still worried of how sensitive the experience would feel. "What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to kiss you, at first. Then there will be some sucking, like I do to your breasts, remember how much you like that?" he asks, trying to be soft and reassuring.

"I do like that," you say sheepishly. "But I'm so sensitive," you say worried it will be a bad experience for the both of you.

"I'll go as slow as you'd like. I want you to take hold of my hair, alright. I promise you can't hurt me," he says to put you at ease as he lowers himself to be inline with your weeping core.

You hope he thinks you are just wet from the shower, but he can see the way you were pushing your thighs together that you were secretly excited and ready for him. Your smell was intoxicating to him, already half hard and he hasn't even tasted you yet. His large nose will bury between where your thigh meets your pelvic bone and inhale sharply.

You shiver with anticipation, getting more wet by the minute because of how eager your man is to please you.

To get into position he hooks his arms under your thighs so his large callused hands can come back around and rest on your lower stomach. He plans on squeezing the soft flesh as he makes you a moaning mess.

He wants to just look at you for a while. Your cunt puffy and dripping, desperate for any stimulation. He starts with small kitten licks to gauge your comfort level.

Qui-Gon is thrilled to hear you mewl and have your fingers find his scalp. This encourages him to be a bit more bold, slowly making out with your pussy.

The sounds of your slick and his saliva smacking together was deliciously dirty. When you would occasionally tug at his hair he would groan in appreciation, vibrations making you whimper.

His tongue expertly dove deeper into your gummy walls. As your squirming became more erratic he knew you were approaching your climax. He shifted his attention to your clit, sucking, swirling, kissing and lapping at the bud to make sure you could ride through your high.

His hands snaked their way higher to your breasts, softly rubbing them to give you the utmost pleasure possible.

"UUghhgh, Qui! I think m'gunna cum," you slur out, eyes rolled to the back of your head and back arched to the heavens.

"Let go starlight, give yourself to me," he pants out, pupils blown and hot air fanning over your cunt as he regains his breath.

His tongue travels deep between your silky folds, pussy juices covering his lips, chin and nose. The way the tip of his nose hit your clit while his tongue did figure-eights made you see stars.

As your body slows from its convulsing Qui-Gon emerges from between your legs and floats his way up to your face.

"Are you alright," he asks, searching your face for fear, embarrassment or content.

Your eyes are still closed, arms thrown above your head in bliss, hair messy from squirming. You couldn't be anymore sexy.

"Mmmmmm," was all you could get out, in such a state of ecstasy nothing could bring you down. You lean to face Qui-Gon with a toothy grin and wrap your arms around his neck and one leg over his hip.

You smush your faces together for a deep kiss, able to taste the remnants of yourself on his tongue as it fought for dominance against your own.

New Lecture Transcription on “The Voice of the Silence”

We will talk about some very deep points about the nature of what this goal is: freedom from suffering, conquering the causes of real trauma, but it is also essential to clarify some common misconceptions, especially when we approach any religion.

In truth, every person wants to be free of pain. This is a fundamental axiom of human nature. However, not many people are willing to renounce that which causes real pain, not outside, but inside―our behaviors, which dictate whether we approach a state of communion with a real divine truth, or whether we, in dissonance of that, affect our well-being, but also our community.

This state of liberation, ironically enough, occurs not by avoiding problems. It comes about by approaching them willingly, and this is a very distinct difference with our common psychology, because we all want to avoid pain. We do not want to suffer. In a real deep sense, we do not like to make other people suffer. But despite that, we tend to be driven to do things that are wrong, that we know in our heart.

Voluntary suffering: it does not mean we go look for problems. It means that we face them willingly. As we are consciously trying to rectify our own mind, the things that we do, we also have to learn to face the consequences of our former actions. This is the teachings of karma that we explained previously in Buddhism.

Every effect originates from a cause, and the situations in life that we experience were produced by us to some degree. We initiated this scenario. We set the stage in which we are both the director and the actor and the screenwriter. But unfortunately, we repeat the same drama again and again, suffering again and again, and not understanding this wheel (Samsara), which keeps repeating. संसार Samsara in Sanskrit meaning “cycling, repetition.”

We have to face all that willingly and to work on our own defects consciously, to understand what in us, again, is perpetuating this motion.

We will talk about renunciation too as a deep fundamental spiritual principle. Renunciation does not mean running away, avoiding, to avoid the problem. It means to give up that identity or self that is attached to the past. Renunciation is when we give up anger for love, fear for trust, and faith in the divine, lust for purity of mind, purity of heart.

Renunciation is comprehension. When we understand in ourselves how certain things that we do really are wrong, not from some scripture or book, but our heart, we have peace, and we can willingly give up a lower level being for a higher one.

In this way, we can say a fundamental truth is that we cannot renounce or give up what we do not have, and this is a very big problem within spiritual circles. Some people feel that they are spiritual because they renounce money or fame of a material sense. Meanwhile, we may covet power in spiritual groups, spiritual powers, abilities. We hear stories of astral projection and dream yoga, out-of-body experiences, the ability to talk to masters in the higher world like the kabbalah, Jinn science, many marvelous things that when we read, we become enamored. We are inspired and we say, “I want that,” and because we do not have material attachments, we think that we are spiritual and that is wrong. In truth, we can be coveting the spiritual itself.

That is a form of desire, attachment. It is desire that we have to give up, wanting to be something else, and merely letting be.

In a sense, in the context of this lecture today, we are going to talk about some very elevated spiritual things in terms of what a spiritual master must renounce to go to the highest regions, the truth. But I introduce this as a basic level instruction because this is going to be the doorway to understanding how it is a spiritual master renounces heaven, and goes even beyond anything we can conceive of.

In our level, we have to renounce egotism in order to be spiritual, give up anger, pride, fear, lust, vanity, resentment, attachment, aversion, ignorance. What we are now has to be given up to go to a higher level of being, and that really prepares us to enter the path of spiritual mastery, to be a master of ourselves, such as when we meditate. Master the body. Master the heart. Master the mind. Master our will, concentration. Focus on one thing without being distracted, to not waver. But even then, to learn to give up our will for the divine. As Jesus proclaimed, “Not my will, but Thine be done” (Luke 22:42). Levels of mastery.

You see that there is a hierarchy, degrees, which is what we call the path of initiation. That process that leads us through that development is compassion. That is really the heart of religion. That is how we really renounce what we are for something better.

We have been talking a lot about initiation and that to enter this spiritual path, one has to learn to renounce. There are levels of instruction in religion, no matter what faith: introductory, intermediate, advanced, as we explained previously.

Or to use Buddhist terms: Sravakayana, Mahayana, Tantrayana.

Sravaka means “listener.” It is what we do in the beginning. We listen to instruction to be able to ascertain what we must do. Yana means “vehicle,” the means of instruction, ethics, basic character, good deeds. Reduce suffering by avoiding, or better said, comprehending and not acting on these lower emotions. That leads to the path of Mahayana: greater vehicle, love for humanity, love for others.

The whole focus of this lecture is on the amount of compassion needed to go from the very beginning to the very end.

ISLAM 101: Spirituality in Islam: Part 189

Al-Baytu’l-Ma‘mur (The Prosperous House)

Literally meaning the prosperous house or house of worship, al- Baytu’l-Ma‘mur is a luminous construction above the heavens which, as stated in ahadith, is visited or circumambulated every day by seventy thousand angels[1]—the figure denotes multiplicity so it may actually be seventy million or more—; it is the heavenly counterpart of the Ka‘ba, which exists on the same line. The angels who visit or circumambulate it once will not be able to have another turn to do so again. Both this house and the Ka‘ba—God’s House on the earth—are prosperous due to the deep respect which the angels, spirit beings, and many humans and jinn show them; the former is visited by the angels and spirit beings and the latter by angels, spirit beings and many humans and jinn.

Al-Baytu’l-Ma‘mur is one of the sacred places by which God swears in the Qur’an (52:4). The other place of the same sacredness is God’s House, which, as its reflection on the earth, is the heart of the earth and the pupil of the Secure Town—Makka. The former is visited by heavenly beings, who go round it, while the latter is visited and circumambulated by those on the earth. However, it cannot be said that those who go round the former are not also moths that flit around the latter. Neither can it be said that the “heavenly” beings who live on the earth do not offer their respects to the heavenly Prosperous House. Those who visit and go round these two Houses, from which God never removes His “eyes,” have special regard for the Ultimate Truth, Who returns their regard with particular compliments and favors. Those who happen to visit these blessed places are considered to be God’s guests, and mean to abandon themselves in a cataract of revival. It is hoped from God that they will be saved from the causes of eternal loss, such as unbelief and misguidance. Those who reach al- Baytu’l-Ma‘mur and visit God’s House on the earth after an endeavor inspired and compelled by belief do not die misguided.

The most reliable sources provide information that al-Baytu’l- Ma‘mur is above the heavens. Some of the Companions and respected interpreters of the Qur’an say that until the end of Prophet Noah’s Messengership, upon him and our Prophet be peace, it existed where the Ka‘ba is or was bound to it with a spiritual tie. However, since the people of that time did not pay it the required respect, when the Flood began God lifted it to a heavenly point on the same line as the Ka‘ba. Concerning such an assertion with respect to the Unseen, we can say nothing but: “True knowledge is with God.”

Some of the earlier scholars’ view that al-Baytu’l-Ma‘mur is the Ka‘ba must have arisen from a confusion of the original with its projection and been based on seeing the positions where the Qur’an was sent down for the first and second times as one and the same.

There have been a few people who have put forward that the first position where the Qur’an was sent down first from the Supreme Preserved Tablet to the heaven is al-Baytu’l-‘Izza— the House of Honor. This must be due to the fact that since the position where the Divine Word was first embodied is regarded as a site around which sacred beings go, al-Baytu’l-Ma‘mur has been identified with and therefore called al-Baytu’l-‘Izza.

Some Sufis have regarded al-Baytu’l-Ma‘mur as the heart of the heroes of “ subsistence by and with God.” As can also be witnessed in some approaches to the ‘Arsh and the Kursiyy, some Sufis have considered what is projected or relative as the original itself. In fact, Sidratu’l-Muntaha is related to al-Baytu’l-Ma‘mur, and al-Baytu’l- Ma‘mur is related to the Ka‘ba, and all of these are related to the heart of a believer in varying degrees; the heart is, in one sense, both an ‘Arsh and a Sidra and a Baytu’l-Ma‘mur, provided it is genuine, and not false.

O God! O Illuminator of hearts! Illuminate our hearts with the lights of Your knowledge and pour upon us out of the knowledge of those who have proper knowledge of You! Bestow blessings and peace on our master Muhammad, the master of those who have proper knowledge of You, and on his Family and Companions, who were sincere and reached the final point of their journey to meet with You.

Satan,[a] also known as the Devil,[b] is an entity in Abrahamic religions that seduces humans into sin or falsehood. In Judaism, Satan is seen as an agent subservient to God, typically regarded as a metaphor for the yetzer hara, or "evil inclination". In Christianity and Islam, he is usually seen as a fallen angel or jinn who has rebelled against God, who nevertheless allows him temporary power over the fallen world and a host of demons. In the Quran, Shaitan, also known as Iblis, is an entity made of fire who was cast out of Heaven because he refused to bow before the newly created Adam and incites humans to sin by infecting their minds with waswās ("evil suggestions").

WHAT'S SATAN GOING TO MAKE YOU DO TODAY AMERICA?

[multicolour-ink]

I- don't know why a Star Wars AU never occurred to me as a massive fan! I come to your inbox as a Resident SW Nerd™ to absolutely info dump about George's six films. For your AU, how it'd play out would really depend on what part of the timeline you're going for. If it's during the Original Trilogy (Episodes 4-6), the Jedi are all dead and gone save for Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Luke was sent to live with his aunt and uncle, and Leia was sent to the Organas. Both were meant to stay hidden from their father, Anakin, who became Darth Vader. They were deemed the last hopes for the galaxy to be re-balanced and so had to grow up in hiding. Heck, Obi-Wan and Yoda both had to keep exceedingly low profile to avoid the Empire catching on. I'd argue Obi-Wan never would've taught Luke anything had he not gotten Leia's message from R2-D2, begging him for help. That message set fate into motion. I'm sure mentally, Obi-Wan was going 'Heavens, not again.' Poor guy couldn't escape Skywalker Antics til the day he died. Literally.

Now, if you set this idea in the Prequel Trilogy era (Episodes 1-3) or before it, then the gates are kinda wide open in terms of what you can do??? During the prequels, the biggest thing going on in the galaxy is the Clone War. It's a massive-scale thing, encompassing pretty much all of known space, and it was all put into motion by Darth Sidious/Chancellor Palpatine. He did it to create the Galactic Empire, to be Emperor and hold all the power for himself. By this point, the Jedi have been sucked into fighting in the Clone War when they're meant only to be peacekeepers. They lose their way. They become hypocritical and jaded as a whole. And from the moment Qui-Gon Jinn brings Anakin to them, they act like total jerks. He's too old to be trained, they say. He's too attached to his mother, they say. And then when he's the most powerful Jedi they have, they're threatened by him. And yet they don't allow him to form attachments and love in healthy ways, they don't counsel him when he needs it most in ways that could've helped him. They only tell him what he shouldn't and can't do, or how it's wrong to think/do X, Y, Z. They're harsh and inflexible. Had Qui-Gon lived, he probably would've turned out alright. But he didn't, and it fell to Obi-Wan to train him. Obi-Wan was a pretty by-the-books sort of fellow, and so didn't really know how to guide Anakin in ways he needed. If we roll back further still, the Jedi often tried to do something about people they felt were threats to themselves within their own organization. In Knights of the Old Republic, for example, you play as a character you come to learn was power nerfed AND memory-wiped because you were once a Jedi and became a Sith. It's been ages, so I forget if there's dialogue options to react positively and negatively to that fact. I think there was though. For sure you can choose to stay with the light or go right back to being evil. Anyways, I can't say it's out of the realm of possibility that the Jedi would cast infants into exile or otherwise try to stifle their power if they had an alarming potential of being threats in the future. The foremost way Jedi would determine such a thing in the first place would be if one of their own was especially good at precognition. Almost like a fortune-teller, or clairvoyant of sorts? Basically whoever can see into the future and be pretty much always on the money. Of course- the future is ever-shifting, hard to really see with certainty. Often, if and when the Jedi try to stop something from happening by any means necessary, it happens. The Order did everything to try and make sure Anakin didn't become Sith, but he did. Anakin tried way too hard to keep Padmé alive, she died because of him. Stuff like that.

ANYWAYS THAT'S SOME SEMI LIGHT READING AND KNOWLEDGE ON STAR WARS I'M GLAD I GOT TO SHARE ALL OF THAT WITH YOU.

Star Wars AU

Thank you for that info dump, @timid-plumber . It's always nice to have one with actual knowledge on Star Wars contribute to the AU, considering I only know the barebones of it 🤭

Note: TW for death during childbirth

For the AU, Pio and Mia's story takes place in the time set in the prequel trilogy, while the events with the bros happen during the original trilogy. Sure there are some roles that are different from the source material, but I argue that does make the AU its own thing somewhat.

For example: my idea of the AU was that (during Pio and Mia's story) the Koopas are ever more on the rise with the help of their powerful King, Bowser's father. During these early days, King Koopa Sr is training his very young son how to rule when he takes over, which of course means the Jedi want to stop them as soon as possible before this happens.

Long story short, it all fails. I don't have the necessary details figured out, but I imagine that at some point, Pio and King Koopa Sr battle it out, and Koopa Sr and Pio are killed in the struggle. Leaving Bowser an orphan and taken away by Kamek and the Toadies for his safety. Meanwhile, a heavily pregnant Mia hears of her husband's death, and attempts to flee the base they are on, before it's attacked by the koopa army. During the escape, Mia is gravely injured, then goes into labour not long after. She safely delivers two healthy baby boys, but succumbs to her injuries and dies, leaving her children orphans as well.

The Jedi at this point know that the koopas will be looking for these two, plus one of the Jedi wizards, Merlon (who let's just say is the Yoda and/or Obi Wan in this AU) can sense that there is great force power with these twins. Knowing the koopas don't know there's twins, the decision is made to split them up, in order to lower the chances of the koopas finding them.

[religion-is-a-mental-illness]

Is there free will in heaven? If so, does that mean there's sin in heaven? Lucifer sinned in heaven (pride), so apparently heaven isn't inherently sinless. But if there's sin, how do you get forgiveness? Why would you bother, since you're already in heaven? What happens if you don't seek forgiveness? What happens to the person(s) you may have sinned against? Their heavenly vacation has been spoiled.

If there's not sin in heaven, that means we're there (eventually) with our same souls and our same bodies, but no free will? From which part of of body or our soul was that removed? And does that mean we're just mindless automatons wandering around heaven thinking only what god wants us to think?

I suspect some Xians may say you retain the ability to sin in heaven, but lack all desire to do so. But desire isn't a prerequisite for sin. People sin without knowledge or desire to do so all the time.

All reasonable questions. There are so many problems with religious thought, and particularly the mythical afterlife, when you actually seriously contemplate the claims.

Do dogs go to Heaven? Only pets, not wild animals? If only humans go to Heaven, how far back? Homo erectus? Australopithecus? Only people who lived after Jesus? Not Abraham, Moses or Elijah, then. Which “you” will be in Heaven? Senile you with dementia? Midlife-crisis you?

-- Richard Dawkins

Of course whenever anyone claims to have answers to any of these questions, we must recognize that not only do they not, they cannot. No matter how confident they are in their belief, no matter what anecdotes they might tell, no matter what scripture they cite, they cannot know it.

I think it's unavoidable that you can either believe these things or you can understand them. You can't do both. To understand means realizing how bizarre and nonsensical the whole thing is. To believe means keeping your intellectual distance, not looking too closely, and certainly not thinking about it too deeply.

2 Corinthians 10:5

Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ

Don't think too hard, least of all about things of which god or Jesus would disapprove.

https://quranx.com/114.1-6

Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind, The Sovereign of mankind. The God of mankind From the evil of the retreating whisperer - Who whispers [evil] into the breasts of mankind - From among the jinn and mankind."

Doubts are evil, the whispers of the devil. Silence them.

John 20:29

Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

Unquestioning faith is a virtue.

https://quranx.com/Hadith/Muslim/USC-MSA/Book-1/Hadith-244

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah may peace be upon him) observed:

The Satan comes to everyone. of you and says: Who created this and that? till he questions: Who created your Lord? When he comes to that, one should seek refuge in Allah and keep away (from such idle thoughts).

Questions are of the devil.

2 Corinthians 5:7

For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Faith is blind.

https://quranx.com/Hadith/Nasai/Reference/Hadith-3434

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has forgiven my Ummah for what is whispered to them or what enters their minds, so long as they do not act upon it or speak of it.'"

Thoughtcrimes are forgiven only if you silence them.

Romans 14:1

Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.

Accept people whose faith is weak, shun those who doubt.

https://quranx.com/Hadith/Muslim/USC-MSA/Book-1/Hadith-244/

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah may peace be upon him) observed:

The Satan comes to everyone of you and says: Who created this and that? till he questions: Who created your Lord? When he comes to that, one should seek refuge in Allah and keep away (from such idle thoughts).

Anyone who tries to use basic logic on you is of Satan.

Proverbs 3:5

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Unquestioning belief; don't think for yourself.

Believers are not encouraged to think, they're encouraged to limit their thinking at the threat of social ostracism and existential peril. Their religion makes ignorance and incuriosity a virtue.

What is Worship and Why Are the People Held Responsible For It?

The meaning of worship is that a servant performs his duties such as offering glorification, exaltation, and praise to Almighty God in the way He orders. Giving thought to the fact that he is nurtured with the endless bounties and gifts, man is in charge of doing his duty of proclaiming God is the greatest and offering thanks to Him. It is achieved only by means of worship. A worshipper arranges his all acts and behaviors such as eating and drinking, sitting and standing and so forth in accordance with the bounds of God Almighty. He leads his life as the servant of Allah. This servitude makes him reach the rank of real humanity and dignity. After all, the main goal of the creation is to attain this honor. Indeed God Almighty says in the exalted Quran I have only created Jinn and men, that they may serve Me. (Az-Záriyát: 56). In another verse in the Quran, He says:

O ye people! Worship your Guardian Lord, who created you and those who came before you, that ye may become righteous; Who has made the earth your couch, and the heavens your canopy; and sent down rain from the heavens; and brought forth therewith Fruits for your sustenance; then set not up rivals unto Allah when ye know (the truth). (Al-Baqarah:21-22).

God Almighty created the heaven adorned with the sun and stars, the earth decked out with seas and lands in the best form. He placed senses each of which is more valuable than the universe into the spirit of man. Just as he bestowed on him an eye capable of seeing all beauties, a tongue which is able to take pleasures from all the tastes of the food, so too did He gift him a mind being competent to turn those delights tasted by those senses into knowledge and understanding. And He donated man a conscience that can appreciate not only the bounties filtered from the universe to help him but also physical and spiritual presents placed into his body.

Man can make out through the mind granted to him that he has not been created merely for this world and that he cannot be without any purpose or duty.

He fathoms trough his conscience that he must declare thanks and glorification to his Sustainer. He performs his worship only for Allah. He never attributes any partners to his Lord.

He feels affection solely towards Allah with his heart,; he loves all the creatures worthy of love for the sake of Him.

Even if he were not held responsible for the worship, his mind, heart and conscience would command him to offer worship and obedience to Allah. It is because only worship can gratify those senses.

It is quite obvious that God Almighty, who needs nothing, has no need of our worship. On the contrary, it is we who need to worship.

What will be our response in the Day of Judgment that willingly or unwillingly we will go through when Almighty God asks us Oh my servants! I created you out of nothing. I directed all my bounties in the earth to you in order to meet your endless needs. I fulfilled your needs all the time. My compassion and mercy had always been upon you. Whom were you then together with? Whom did you, completely ignorant of me, offer your praises and thanks to though I was truly worthy of them? Do you think the spiritual torture caused by the humiliation and being ashamed will be greater than the torment of hell? It must be the severe sense of embarrassment that makes the unbeliever utter Woe unto me! Would that I were (mere) dust!"

Just as a man cannot lead his life without religion, so too can Islam not be without performing worship. Let us exemplify this truth with an analogy. Just fancy an Islamic village where azan (call to prayer) is not called. Nobody performs prayers -neither bairam nor Friday prayers nor daily prayers-. No member of that rural community performs fasting, nor gives zakat (alms), goes to Makkah for hajj (pilgrimage). They do not read the Quran, nobody minds about what is haram (forbidden) and what is halal (licit); nobody knows what is obligation and what is incumbent. Nobody brings to his mind to proclaim praises and thanks in return to the never-ending bounties of the Allah.

Do those members of that village not enter a path absolutely contrary to commands of the Quran and the lifestyles of our Prophet (upon whom be peace), his companions, the saints and purified scholars, leading scholars and interpreters of Islamic law and mujaddids (revivers).

As a matter of fact, Islam is not a system based on only theory and conscience only. In many verses of the Revealed Quran, just following the word faith the phrase good deed is used and it is stressed out that good deed is a result of belief.

The reason of sending prophets is to teach the pillars of faith and essentials of Islam to people. That is to say, it is to teach people fully the fundamentals of faith, primarily belief in Allah, and to teach them thoroughly the duties of worship which will enable faith to reach into perfection. Only by means of these glorifications can faith of man become mature. The value of a servant in the presence of Allah depends on the sensibility he displays in his servitude to Him.

THE SUPER-SUBCONSIOUS AS THE HIGHER SELF, THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, AND THE PROCESS OF BELIEF:

WHAT IF I TOLD YOU, THAT EVERYTHING YOU THINK IS REAL IS ONLY REAL BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE IT'S REAL? THEN WHAT IF I TOLD YOU, IF YOU MASTER THE ABILITY TO CHANGE YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS BELIEFS CONSCIOUSLY AND FLUIDLY, THEN YOU CAN BEND THE AIR AND CHANGE WHAT IS REAL! THUS YOU CAN TAKE BACK CONTROL OF WRITING THE STORY OF YOUR OWN EXISTENCE!

The Moon presiding over nocturnal desires and words of power invoking the backward power of the Devil indicate the deep mysteries and desire for Ascension of Self towards the Divine Spirit within. Kenneth Grant writes of this type of Sabbatic working as “The devil’s tail – all are instances of reversal and symbolic of Will and Desire turning within and down to subconscious regions”.

Luciferians agree that we are stars, rather the stars fallen from heaven to gain independence and freedom from restriction and a servile belief system. We are not sheep, we are serpents!

Christians consider the “lamb”, “dove” and allow themselves to be called a “flock” following a Sheep Herder (meaning Priest). Luciferians identify with the serpent, an ancient symbol of wisdom, the dragon, a symbol of strength, wisdom and power and see themselves as “wolves” rather than sheep.

AS WITHIN, SO WITHOUT. WHAT DO YOU HOLD IN YOUR MIND? WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IN? YOUR BELIEFS STRUCTURE YOUR WORLD, AND ARE EITHER A PRISON OR EMPOWERMENT. WHEN YOU'RE HIGHER SELF IS SIMPLY A "SUPER CONSCIOUS" YOU ARE GREATLY MISUSING THE PRINCIPAL OF SPIRITUAL GENDER. CAN'T YOU SEE YOU'VE REMOVED HALF OF THE EQUATION? IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THE OTHER HALF OF YOURSELF, YOU MIGHT WANT TO TRY THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, FULL OF ALL THOSE THINGS YOU HOLD IN YOUR MIND THAT ARE A PART OF YOU AND YET CAN'T BE SEEN.

CAN'T SEEM TO BREAK DOWN BELIEF SYSTEMS OF THE MIND? THERE'S AN EASY FIX, WHAT ARE THE BELIEFS OF YOUR HEART? WHAT DO YOU LOVE? WHAT YOU LOVE AND HOLD IN YOUR HEART IS EMPOWERED ATTENTION WHERE ENERGY WILL FLOW. IF YOU CAN'T SEEM TO CHANGE YOUR MIND, LOOK AT THE THINGS YOU LOVE, BECAUSE THERE'S SOMETHING AMONG THOSE THINGS THAT YOU LOVE THAT IS LIMITING YOU AND YOU NEED TO OUT PROCESS IT AND LET IT GO, AND MOVE ON TO OTHER THINGS MORE CONDUCIVE TO YOUR WELL-BEING AND SUCCESS.

AMONG OTHER THINGS, MAGICK IS TAKING WHAT YOU HOLD INSIDE YOUR MIND OR WHAT YOU WANT TO HOLD INSIDE YOUR MIND AND REPRESENTING IT THROUGH RITUAL. THERE REALLY ARE NO LIMITS, WHATEVER YOU CAN IMAGINE AND PUT INTO A FORMAT FOR YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND TO DEVOUR IS COMPLETELY ACCEPTABLE.

MAGICK IS THE ACTIVITY OF CHANGING WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR WILL AND WHAT YOU DESIRE THROUGH RITUAL AND PROCESSES OF THE IMAGINATION.

CHANGE YOUR INNER WORLD AND YOU WILL COME TO SEE THAT YOU ARE THE PROJECTOR OF YOUR OUTER WORLD, BECAUSE YOUR OUTER WORLD WILL CHANGE IN SYNC WITH WHAT YOU HOLD IN YOURSELF THROUGH LOVE OR BELIEF.

AS I ALWAYS LIKE TO REMIND PEOPLE ABOUT THE TOPIC OF THE SUBCONSCIOUS IN MAGICK, IF YOU ARE NOT CONSCIOUSLY DICTATING AND CREATING THE CONTENTS OF YOUR OWN INNER WORLD, THEN SOMEONE OR SOMETHING ELSE ALREADY IS, AND TO REALIZE THIS IN YOUR CONSCIOUS AWARENESS IS TO WAKE UP INSIDE OF THE DREAM!

Unwilling to Research Who You Follow?

I so-called triggered the snowflakes, any time I write something about the Abrahamic religions the posts with it become so hard to save 🔥

.. afraid to learn who you are truly following? that fEAr - Rev 21:8

It is said that if you follow his dark side, he especially does not care about what happens to you - following this unloving light side is still bad though 🧬 Satan, of darkness yet disguised as a being of light!

It is supposedly said by an alien, that his fellow elites are his pawns and that a number of these elites help him control mankind. I heard they get possessed, their boss brags that they’re horrified of him 🐍

In the Nag Hammadi texts, OldTestamentGod said to steal light!

  tNHt says Yaldabaoth is a thief: steals light and given light 🔥

In the Japanese version, Malik leads those called the Ghouls.

said that Enlil and Enki lead Dracos - they get possessed by genies?

It is said that when An, Ki split that the dragon of the earth was born!

In the bible, Satan is called the dragon while the Devil is as well 🔥

In tNT, Jesus says only God is good and Yah admits to doing evil 🤔

   supposedly his words Isa 45:7, call him a liar? vs Exo 32:11-14

I read how Satan (*a dark side of Lucifer*) is a jinn, smokeless fire!

angels said to be made of light, angel of darkness vs angel of light

I see how fiery serpents aka the Seraphim push Rev 22:13 Jesus 🔥

I note how John 15 Jesus seems to imply Lucifer is Rev 22:3 Jesus!

the dragon is said to rule the first beast aka Yah!

It is said he can be in multiple places at once 🧬

said An(u) went to rule in heaven, Enlil and Enki rules on earth 🐍

   I see how Lucifer is said to describe An as light, Enki as light

In tNHammadi texts, Yaldabaoth (*aka Enlil*) called darkness itself!

   It is said that Yaldabaoth, with stolen light, is called Yaldabaoth

       * light side, dark side of all of us going by our same names

I see 1 John 5:7, when the Word in the flesh talks of “the father” 🤔

In John 1, it says that God became flesh so then Mark 10:17,18 🦅

If so merciful, why make any unbelievers then punish them for that?

It is a trick via him - he lacks the power he claims, uses fear 🔥

If any claims to have not created sin, cannot be the creator of all?

  nothing exists outside of that energy, good vs evil and fanfiction

In a post one below this post.. sections eight-nine then a, b, c, d 🚩

It is crazy how an alien arrived, and many still worship him now 😅

   bible shows how this flesh eater, magic user is Satan in disguise

so he performs lying signs, wonders - many’ll literally bow down 🐍

and he wants to be God - uses tech, fEAr as a way to fool many 🔥

.. and yet, he “the LORD” does these six things in the bible 🤔

-----------

I feel a need to add it:

.. just because the antichrist is bad, it does not mean Christ is good!

the being, Lucifer, warps definitions and if any read all of tGAtJohn?

In certain cases, he will mix good with bad energy as “Enki” 🤔

ashtarcommandcrew.net/profiles/bl

ogs/message-from-lord-enki-december-2013

so Thoth (*aka Ningishzida*) is the god of

the narrative - I mean, the god of writing 📜

so much positive about him, suspicious 🪄

bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/sociopol_whitebrotherhood02.htm

I know Bob Sanders says they say they rule our incarnation system!

so-called ascended masters support ‘em! sounds as if shining ones?

It’s said there’s a reason this word HARM is in the word pHARMa 🧬

many love the world in such a way they’ll follow the tricky Lucifer 📜

Punjabi - Sikh Temple Flag should be yellow to represent Basant or Easte... Punjabi - Sikh Temple Flag should be yellow to represent Basant or Easter End of the cold weather of the greedy Brahmin Gurus. https://youtu.be/KgmNoGdzIVY Kalyug is the Golden Time of Meeting Parbrahm through His Word called Logo = End product of the logical reasoning = Satgur Parsad; here Gur means Formula, Tareeqa, Logical reasoning and not Guru of the crooks. No Christ or Satguru in your heart, no Gospek but the Dead Letters = Super Donkeys carrying the forbidden Holy Books - Luke 16v16 as our New Covenant is of the holy spirit, which is common sense = Surti. SATPURKH JINN JANAYA; SATGURU TISS KAA NAO. Also:- PAVANN ARANBHH SATGUR = LOGICAL REASONING, MATT WAILA; SHABD = LOGO GURU SURAT DHUNN CHAELA. No more a Disciple of a moral teacher who teaches you book knowledge but of Shabd extracted through logical reasoning. First Satguru Christ Jesus has clearly stressed that Law and Prophets were till John, the Baptist and afterwards Christ Jesus has opened the Low for Humble and Narrow for the solitary for the sealed to serve God twice-born out of the tribal seed in which the tribal identity of the flesh by "Birth" becomes "implicit" and the spiritual in "deeds" "Explicit". So, this is the time of Easter - Basant when the fruit of your past labour, Karma, is ripened in the "Sunshine" = God. All this knowledge you learn through "intuition" ONLY. That is why you need a roundtable fellowship of the Royal Priests = Christs = Satgurus. These Middlemen hireling Dog-Collared Priests dead in the letters are AntiChrists. Easter:- Reincarnation through works under Yahweh, Dharm Rai whilst Resurrection by Grace of Elohim. https://youtu.be/x3BD1z0Buq0 Hi Brethren, I do not have time to write what I have said but I will put captions in my Video to make it clear. Here are my old productions:- Yahweh, Brahma, Khudah, etc. are the creator, Potters, of visible Nature at large whilst the supernatural "soul" hails from our Supernatural Father God called Elohim, Allah, Parbrahm, etc. Why call Easter? It is the Age of Christ, the Very Son of our Supernatural Father Elohim to teach us https://youtu.be/NHFix6hi8CY Easter is the Time of the Sun, the Primary Source of Light, The Christ, and not for the dead in the dead letters of the Holy Books, the forbidden Jewish Leaven = Milk for the once-born babies. https://youtu.be/qS8q2JEhCPc Hi Brother, Prayer used to be to Yahweh, the demiurge whilst our Real Father lives in His Temple and He is no more in heaven as Yahweh was but within us. He appreciates His Word that our anointed Elder Brother Christ Jesus has delivered. Thus, prayer and fasting are antichrists and Jesus told this to the Pharisees who questioned his Labourers why they do not pray and fast like the Disciples of John, the Baptist, Pharisees, and Sadducees do. To this, Jesus replied, so far Christ is in their hearts, they do not need to but when Christ is gone and they become the Christian of the dead letters, the Bible, Jewish Leaven, then they will do. That is, the Bible Thumpers pray and fast whilst carrying the Bible on your Preaching Tour is forbidden; carry no money, two pairs of Shoes, a Tunic, etc., and no Scrip, the Bible as our covenant with Christ Jesus is of the holy spirit which is common sense and not of the dead letters that makes you dead burying the dead as they do in the Universities and Colleges in debates what is written here and there but the Gospel gets written over the living Tablets of the heart through logical reasoning and we acquire Bottom-line Gospel Truth, the Rock over which our Temple of God is built. Putting the Bible in the hands of the Apostles makes them antichrists. Our covenant with Christ Jesus is of the holy spirit and not of the dead letters. That is why Jesus said, "When you go for the Preaching Tour, do not take money in your pocket, no two pairs of shoes, etc. and no Scrip = Scriptures, the dead letters. The Bible is the Milk for the once-born whilst the Apostles dwell upon the flesh of Jesus to be eaten by the ears, taken to heart, digested with the teeth of logical reasoning to purify and extract the Nectar of Gospel Truth and then Preach the Gospel from your own mouth. That is why the Gospel cannot be written down in ink on paper but over the living Tablet of heart, the Seat of the Royal Priest, Innerman called Christ. In short, no Christ in your heart no Gospel but the dead letters, the Jewish leaven.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir: Surah Al-Isra Ayah 90-93

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

17:90 And they say: "We shall not believe in you, until you cause a spring to gush forth from the earth for us;''

17:91 "Or you have a garden of date palms and grapes, and cause rivers to gush forth in their midst abundantly;''

17:92 "Or you cause the heaven to fall upon us in pieces, as you have pretended, or you bring Allah and the angels before (us) face to face;''

17:93 "Or you have a house of Zukhruf, or you ascend up into the sky, and even then we will put no faith in your ascension until you bring down for us a Book that we would read.''

Say: "Glorified be my Lord! Am I anything but a man, sent as a Messenger!''

The Demand of Quraysh for a specific Sign, and the Rejection of that

Allah tells:

And they say: "We shall not believe in you, until you cause a spring to gush forth from the earth for us; Or you have a garden of date palms and grapes, and cause rivers to gush forth in their midst abundantly;''

Ibn Jarir recorded from Muhammad bin Ishaq, "An old man from among the people of Egypt who came to us forty-odd years ago told me, from Ikrimah, from Ibn Abbas, that;

- Utbah and Shaybah -- the two sons of Rabi'ah, - Abu Sufyan bin Harb,

- a man from Bani Abd Ad-Dar,

- Abu Al-Bakhtari -- the brother of Bani Asad,

- Al-Aswad bin Al-Muttalib bin Asad, - Zam`ah bin Al-Aswad,

- Al-Walid bin Al-Mughirah,

- Abu Jahl bin Hisham,

- Abdullah bin Abi Umayyah, - Umayyah bin Khalaf,

- Al-`As bin Wa'il, and

- Nabih and Munabbih - the two sons of Al-Hajjaj As- Sahmin,

gathered all of them or some of them behind the Ka`bah after sunset.

Some of them said to others, `Send for Muhammad and talk with him and argue with him, so that nobody will think we are to blame.'

So they sent for him saying, `The nobles of your people have gathered for you to speak to them.'

So the Messenger of Allah came quickly, thinking that maybe they were going to change their minds, for he was very keen that they should be guided, and it upset him to see their stubbornness. So he came and sat with them, and they said,

`O Muhammad, we have sent for you so that nobody will think we are to blame. By Allah we do not know any man among the Arabs who has brought to his people what you have brought to your people. You have slandered our forefathers, criticized our religion, insulted our reason, slandered our gods and caused division. There is no objectionable thing that you have not brought between us. If you are preaching these things because you want wealth, we will collect some of our wealth together for you and make you the wealthiest man among us. If you are looking for position, we will make you our leader. If you are looking for kingship, we will make you our king. If what has come to you is a type of Jinn that has possessed you, then we can spend our money looking for the medicine that will rid you of it so that no one will think we are to blame.'

The Messenger of Allah said:

My case is not as you say. I have not brought what I have brought to you because I want your wealth or to be your leader or king. But Allah has sent me to you as a Messenger and has revealed to me a Book and has commanded me to bring you good news and a warning.

So, I have conveyed to you the Messages of my Lord and have advised you accordingly. If you accept what I have brought to you, then this is your good fortune in this world and the Hereafter, but if you reject it, I shall wait patiently for the command of Allah until Allah judges between me and you. or words to that effect.

They said,

`O Muhammad, if you do not accept what we have offered you, then you know that there is no other people whose country is smaller, whose wealth is less and whose life is harder than ours, so ask your Lord Who has sent you with what He has sent you, to move away these mountains for us that are constricting us, to make our land wider and cause rivers to gush forth in it like the rivers of Syria and Iraq, and to resurrect for us those of our forefathers who have passed away.

Let there be among those whom He resurrects Qusayy bin Kilab, for he was a truthful old man, and we will ask them whether what you are saying is true or false. If you do what we are asking, and they (the people who are resurrected) say that you are telling the truth, then we will believe you and acknowledge your status with Allah and believe that He has sent you as a Messenger as you say.'

The Messenger of Allah said to them:

I was not sent for this purpose. I have brought to you from Allah that with which He has sent me, and I have conveyed to you the Message with which I was sent to you. If you accept what I have brought to you, then this is your good fortune in this world and the Hereafter, but if you reject it, I shall wait patiently for the command of Allah until Allah judges between me and you.

They said,

`If you will not do this for us, then at least do something for yourself. Ask your Lord to send an angel to confirm that what you are saying is the truth and to speak up on your behalf. Ask Him to give you gardens and treasures and palaces of gold and silver, and to make you independent so that you will not have to do what we see you doing, for you stand in the marketplaces seeking provision just as we do. Then we will know the virtue of your position with your Lord and whether you are a Messenger as you claim.'

The Messenger of Allah said to them:

I will not do that, and I will not ask my Lord for this. I was not sent to you for this reason. But Allah has sent me to you to bring you good news and a warning. If you accept what I have brought to you, then this is your good fortune in this world and the Hereafter, but if you reject it, I shall wait patiently for the command of Allah until Allah judges between me and you.

They said,

`Then cause the sky to fall upon us, as you claim that if your Lord wills, He can do that. We will not believe in you until you do this.'

The Messenger of Allah said to them:

That is for Allah to decide. If He wills, He will do that to you.

They said,

`O Muhammad, did your Lord not know that we would sit with you and ask you what we have asked and make the requests that we have made He should have told you beforehand and taught you how to reply to us, and informed you what He would do to us if we do not accept what you have brought to us.

We have heard that the one who is teaching you this, is a man in Al-Yamamah called Ar-Rahman. By Allah, we will never believe in Ar-Rahman. We are warning you, O Muhammad, that we will not let you do what you want to do until you or we are destroyed.'

One of them said,

`We worship the angels who are the daughters of Allah.'

Another said,

`We will never believe in you until you bring Allah and the angels before (us) face to face.'

When they said this, the Messenger of Allah got up and left them.

Abdullah bin Abi Umayyah bin Al-Mughirah bin Abdullah bin Umar bin Makhzum, the son of his paternal aunt Atikah, the daughter of Abdul-Muttalib, also got up and followed him. He said to him,

`O Muhammad, your people have offered you what they have offered you, and you did not accept it. Then they asked for things for themselves so that they would know your position with Allah, and you did not do that for them. Then they asked you to hasten on the punishments with which you are scaring them. By Allah, I will never believe in you unless you take a ladder to heaven and ascend it while I am watching, then you bring with you an open book and four angels to testify that you are as you say. By Allah, even if you did that, I think that I would not believe you.'

Then he turned away from the Messenger of Allah, and the Messenger of Allah went home to his family, grieving over having missed out on what he had hoped for when his people had called him, because he saw that they were resisting him even more.''

The Reason why the Idolators' Demands were refused

In the case of this gathering where the Quraysh came together to speak with the Messenger of Allah, if Allah knew that they were making these requests in order to be guided, they would have been granted, but He knew that they were making these demands out of disbelief and stubbornness.

It was said to the Messenger of Allah,

"If you wish, We will give them what they are asking, but if they then disbelieve, I will punish them with a punishment that I have never imposed upon anyone else in the universe; or if you wish, I will open for them the gate of repentance and mercy.''

He said:

Rather, You open for them the gate of repentance and mercy.

This is like the Ayah:

And nothing stops Us from sending the Ayat but that the people of old denied them. And We sent the she-camel to Thamud as a clear sign, but they did her wrong. And We sent not the signs except to warn, and to make them afraid (of destruction). (Ayah 59)

And Allah says:

And they say: "Why does this Messenger eat food, and walk about in the markets (as we). Why is not an angel sent down to him to be a warner with him Or (why) has not a treasure been granted to him, or why has he not a garden whereof he may eat'!'

And the wrongdoers say: "You follow none but a man bewitched.''

See how they coin similitudes for you, so they have gone astray, and they cannot find a path. Blessed be He Who, if He wills, will assign you better than that - Gardens under which rivers flow and will assign you palaces.

Nay, they deny the Hour, and for those who deny the Hour, We have prepared a flaming Fire. )25:7-11(

Allah's saying,

until you cause a spring to gush forth from the earth for us,

refers to a spring of flowing water. They asked him to bring forth springs of fresh water in the land of Al-Hijaz, here and there. This is easy for Allah, may He be glorified and exalted; if He willed, He could do that. He could have responded to all their demands, but He knew that they would not be guided by that, as He says:

Truly, those, against whom the Word (wrath) of your Lord has been justified, will not believe. Even if every sign should come to them, until they see the painful torment. (10:96-97)

And Allah says:

And even if We had sent down unto them angels, and the dead had spoken unto them, and We had gathered together all things before their very eyes, they would not have believed. (6:111)

His saying;

Or you cause the heaven to fall upon us in pieces, as you have pretended,

means, `you promised us that on the Day of Resurrection the heavens will be split asunder, being broken and torn up, with parts of it falling down, so do that in this world and make it fall in pieces.'

This is like when they said:

O Allah! If this (the Qur'an) is indeed the truth from You, then rain down stones on us from the sky. (8:32)

Similarly, the people of Shu`ayb asked him:

So cause a piece of the heaven to fall on us, if you are of the truthful! (26:187)

So Allah punished them with the punishment of the day of Shadow (a gloomy cloud), which was the torment of a Great Day. (26:189)

or you bring Allah and the angels before (us) face to face;''

As for the Prophet of Repentance and Mercy, who was sent as a mercy to the worlds, he asked Allah to delay their punishment, in the hope that Allah would bring forth from their offspring people who would worship Allah Alone, with no partner or associate.

This is what indeed did happen, for among those who are mentioned above were some who later embraced Islam and became good and sincere Muslims, even Abdullah bin Abi Umayyah, who followed the Prophet (out of that meeting) and spoke to him as he did. He became a sincere Muslim and turned to Allah in repentance.

Or you have a house of Zukhruf.

Ibn Abbas, Mujahid and Qatadah said,

"This is gold.''

This was also what was said in the recitation of Ibn Mas`ud,

"Or you have a house of gold.''

or you ascend up into the sky,

meaning, you climb up on a ladder while we are watching you.

and even then we will put no faith in your ascension until you bring down for us a Book that we would read.

Mujahid said,

"This means a book in which there would be one page for each person, on which would be the words: `This is a book from Allah to so-and-so the son of so-and-so, which he would find by his head when he woke up in the morning.''

Say: "Glorified be my Lord! Am I anything but a man, sent as a Messenger.''

meaning, `Glorified, exalted and sanctified be He above the notion that anyone would come before Him concerning any matter pertaining to His authority and sovereignty. He is the One Who does what He wills. If He willed, he could have given you what you asked for, or if He willed, he could have refrained. I am only a Messenger to you, sent to convey the Messages of my Lord and advise you. I have done that, and the response to what you have asked is to be decided by Allah, may He be glorified.'

ISLAM 101: Spirituality in Islam: Part 73

Al-Baytu’l-Ma‘mur (The Prosperous House)

Literally meaning the prosperous house or house of worship, al- Baytu’l-Ma‘mur is a luminous construction above the heavens which, as stated in ahadith, is visited or circumambulated every day by seventy thousand angels[1]—the figure denotes multiplicity so it may actually be seventy million or more—; it is the heavenly counterpart of the Ka‘ba, which exists on the same line. The angels who visit or circumambulate it once will not be able to have another turn to do so again. Both this house and the Ka‘ba—God’s House on the earth—are prosperous due to the deep respect which the angels, spirit beings, and many humans and jinn show them; the former is visited by the angels and spirit beings and the latter by angels, spirit beings and many humans and jinn.

Al-Baytu’l-Ma‘mur is one of the sacred places by which God swears in the Qur’an (52:4). The other place of the same sacredness is God’s House, which, as its reflection on the earth, is the heart of the earth and the pupil of the Secure Town—Makka. The former is visited by heavenly beings, who go round it, while the latter is visited and circumambulated by those on the earth. However, it cannot be said that those who go round the former are not also moths that flit around the latter. Neither can it be said that the “heavenly” beings who live on the earth do not offer their respects to the heavenly Prosperous House. Those who visit and go round these two Houses, from which God never removes His “eyes,” have special regard for the Ultimate Truth, Who returns their regard with particular compliments and favors. Those who happen to visit these blessed places are considered to be God’s guests, and mean to abandon themselves in a cataract of revival. It is hoped from God that they will be saved from the causes of eternal loss, such as unbelief and misguidance. Those who reach al- Baytu’l-Ma‘mur and visit God’s House on the earth after an endeavor inspired and compelled by belief do not die misguided.

The most reliable sources provide information that al-Baytu’l- Ma‘mur is above the heavens. Some of the Companions and respected interpreters of the Qur’an say that until the end of Prophet Noah’s Messengership, upon him and our Prophet be peace, it existed where the Ka‘ba is or was bound to it with a spiritual tie. However, since the people of that time did not pay it the required respect, when the Flood began God lifted it to a heavenly point on the same line as the Ka‘ba. Concerning such an assertion with respect to the Unseen, we can say nothing but: “True knowledge is with God.”

Some of the earlier scholars’ view that al-Baytu’l-Ma‘mur is the Ka‘ba must have arisen from a confusion of the original with its projection and been based on seeing the positions where the Qur’an was sent down for the first and second times as one and the same.

There have been a few people who have put forward that the first position where the Qur’an was sent down first from the Supreme Preserved Tablet to the heaven is al-Baytu’l-‘Izza— the House of Honor. This must be due to the fact that since the position where the Divine Word was first embodied is regarded as a site around which sacred beings go, al-Baytu’l-Ma‘mur has been identified with and therefore called al-Baytu’l-‘Izza.

Some Sufis have regarded al-Baytu’l-Ma‘mur as the heart of the heroes of “ subsistence by and with God.” As can also be witnessed in some approaches to the ‘Arsh and the Kursiyy, some Sufis have considered what is projected or relative as the original itself. In fact, Sidratu’l-Muntaha is related to al-Baytu’l-Ma‘mur, and al-Baytu’l- Ma‘mur is related to the Ka‘ba, and all of these are related to the heart of a believer in varying degrees; the heart is, in one sense, both an ‘Arsh and a Sidra and a Baytu’l-Ma‘mur, provided it is genuine, and not false.

O God! O Illuminator of hearts! Illuminate our hearts with the lights of Your knowledge and pour upon us out of the knowledge of those who have proper knowledge of You! Bestow blessings and peace on our master Muhammad, the master of those who have proper knowledge of You, and on his Family and Companions, who were sincere and reached the final point of their journey to meet with You.

Ali went to space annd put a Boot to Some Ass "Ishallah"

"The Prophet (s) used to send Sayyidina `Ali to these planets that are near the earth.

One time Sayyida Fatima came to the Prophet (s) and said, “I am not coming to complain to you, O my father, but I have a problem.” He said, "Do you have a problem with Sayyidina `Ali?” She said, "No, my father. I feel shy to mention it. But sometimes he doesn’t come at night for 2 or 3 days. I have no doubts, but I am worried about him.” He said, "Don’t worry, I sent him to the planets that are nearest to the earth.”

How was he able to go without space shuttle. Which planets. They say now they are going to Mars and to the moon. More than that are they going we don’t know. We don’t know even, if they made the pictures up. But let us go with it, and say they went to those planets, how long it takes to send that spacecraft to Mars? They send it and even then they cannot bring it back. And it takes 2-3 years. Sayyidina `Ali - it takes him one moment. What did he use? Don’t be surprised what he used. Allah gave His Prophet (s) power, he used that power.

يَا مَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ أَن تَنفُذُوا مِنْ أَقْطَارِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ فَانفُذُوا لَا تَنفُذُونَ إِلَّا بِسُلْطَانٍ

Ya ma`ashara aljinni wa’l-insi ini istata`tum an tanfuthoo min aqtari as-samawati wal-ardi fa’nfudhoo la tanfudhoona illa bi-sultan.

O ye assembly of Jinns and men! If it be ye can pass beyond the zones of the heavens and the earth, pass ye! not without authority shall ye be able to pass! [55:33]

It means, “O jinn and ins if you are able to penetrate from the atmosphere of this earth you go, but you need a vehicle, a sultan. Not to go and don’t come. “Go and come!” [go there and return] Allah said.

Sayyidina `Ali was going with that sultan, Sultan al-`ilm. Kun

fayakoon. Allah gave the power to awliyaullah. Only drops or crumbs from Prophet’s power he gave to awliyaullah.

So Sayyidina `Ali was going with that power." - Shaykh Hisham Kabbani

The Four Meanings of جَعَلَ

February 26, 2012

From p.122 in the key of Madinah Book 3 – explanation of ch.25

:has four meanings  جَعَلَThe verb

a) to make, i.e. to cause something to be or to become something.

  In this sense it takes two objects e.g.

سَأَجْعَلُ هَذِهِ الغُرْفَةَ دُكَّانًا

‘I will make this room a shop’

is the first object  الغرفةَ Here

and دكانًاis the second object.

Here are some more examples:

جَعَلَ اللهُ الخَمْرَ حَرَامًا 

ِ‘Allah (God) had made alcoholic drinks haram.’

وَ جَعَلَ القَمْرَ فِيهِنَّ نُورًا

و جَعَلَ الشَّمْسَ سِرَاجًا

 ‘And He made the moon a light therein, and He made the sun a lamp.’ (Qur’an 71:16)

و لَوْ شَاءَ رَبُّكَ لَجَعَلَ النَّاسَ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً

 ‘And had your Lord so willed He would have made mankind one nation’ (Qur’an 11:118).

b) to think, to deem.

 In this sense also it takes two objects, e.g.,

أَ جَعَلْتَنِي مُدِيرًا؟ ‘Have you made me a headmaster?’, i.e.,

‘Do you think I am a headmaster?’

و جَعَلُوا المَلائِكَةَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ عِبَادُ الرَحْمَانِ إِنَاثًا

 ‘And they have made the angels, who are servants of Rahman (The Most Merciful, one of Allah’s Names), females’ (Qur’an 43:19),

 i.e. believe they are females. 

 [My note: This belief is refuted in the Qur’an:

“And they make the angels who themselves are slaves to the Most Beneficent (Allâh) females. Did they witness their creation? Their evidence will be recorded, and they will be questioned!” (Az-Zukhruf 43:19)

“Verily, those who believe not in the Hereafter, name the angels with female names.” (An-Najm 53:27)

“Or did We create the angels females while they were witnesses?” (As-Saffat 37:150)

The great scholar of recent times, Imam as-Sa’dee (we ask that God bestow His Mercy upon him) said in explanation of this verse (37:150):

أي: ليس الأمر كذلك، فإنهم ما شهدوا خلقهم، فدل على أنهم قالوا هذا القول، بلا علم، بل افتراء على اللّه،

“Meaning: The affair isn’t like that.  For indeed they didn’t witness their (the angels’) creation.  So this shows that they said this statement (the angels are female) without knowledge, on top of that they are lying upon Allah.”)

So the angels are not female.  They are male, but they are not like humans or jinns.  They do not eat, drink, sleep, or have desire.  And they only obey Allah (The Creator) and do not disobey him.  For more on the correct belief about the angels, go here.]

c)  to make, i.e. to create.

  In this sense, it takes only one object, e.g.,

الحَمْدُ للهِ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ

والأَرْضَ و جَعَلَ الظُلُمَاتِ والنُّورَ

All praise is for Allah Who created the heavens and the earth, and made darkness and light’ (Qur’an 6:1)

     d) to begin.

  In this sense, it acts like كَانَand has ism and khabar.

 Its khabar is a verbal sentence with the verb in the mudari’, e.g., جَعَلَ حَامِدٌ يَضْرِبُنِي

‘Hamid began beating me. Here حامدis its ism and the sentence يضربني the khabar

(other verbs which act like this are طَفِقَand أَخَذَ, . In the explanation of ch.10 p.44 in the key to book 3, it says:

طَفِقَ بِلالٌ يَكْتُبُ‘Bilal began to write.’  طَفِقَis an incomplete verb.

  In this sentence Bilal is its ism, and the sentence يَكتُبُis its khabar.

 The verb in the khabar should be mudari’.

The verbs أَخَذَand جَعَلَare also used in the same way and with the same meaning, e.g.,

أَخَذَ المُدَرِّسُ يَشْرَحُ الدَّرْسَ ‘The teacher began to explain the lesson.’ 

  جَعَلْتُ آكُلُ   ‘I began to eat.’

Here the pronoun تُ is its ism and the sentence  آكُلُ is its khabar. )
