Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem, Assalamu Alaikum.
وَحَنَانًا مِّن لَّدُنَّا وَزَكَاةً وَكَانَ تَقِيًّا
In dealing with the fitnah of sihr covering this world, normally, to deal with an issue you have to deal with its source the place it began or the place that is fueling it, in this way it occurred to us to ask Allah if He punished Harut and Marut, the angels responsible for introducing and spreading sihr in the world in the time of Babylon, would this help stop the fitnah.
Allah takes everything seriously that is His Ihsan and all questions from all people receive an answer, regardless if they are able to hear it or not, this is what He taught us and gave us Maarifah with, this is what He showed us, it is your state and ability to see Allah that decides if you can hear the answer not the idea He is not listening or does not care or does not answer.
When He answers His answer is always in consideration of everything He created, how will giving you what you want affect everyone’s life even the people who receive from Allah receive from under this consideration so any benefit always helps the world at large.
Allah gave us the responsibility of dealing with this fitnah and so Allah answered us by sending us these two Angels to speak to us. When they reached us they acknowledged what we asked and began to work on finding an answer to our request, Mala’ikat al Arsh at the time said to them when they began their work, we can help you (in your work), the two Angels after studying and looking at everything their actions in the past led to from that time, answered us saying they were in the wrong, their actions back then affected our life in two major ways and through them we were being harmed by the sihr they taught, so they took some of that burden from us and we sensed peace in our self.
They then gave us some advice about dealing with the people of fitnah through the example of a watch we wanted to purchase. We looked at a few watches and the spiritual benefit and harms of each and settled on a relatively less expensive watch that was sporting in nature.
In society a watch holds a person up in front of people and blocks many fitnah’s of society that would attack his character, the type of watch decides the results, this particular watch had breadth in what it benefited but lacked in reaching fitnha’s from the higher end of society because it was designed for outdoor activities, Understand we are talking about the realties that affect people not social norms.
They said this was a mistake and we should choose the gentlemen’s watch that was more expensive because it will deal with fitnah from these places, when asked why they answered using a metaphor, because every wealthy person in the world is like the character from the movie, Willy Wonka (from the film Charlie and The Chocolate Factory).
That character was an insane person pretending to be normal in front of you, hiding it under the label of eccentric and recluse, His life hidden away to create his own wonderland is the analogy of rich people today. Insanity here is not your lack of ability to see logic but your lack of responsibility in all regards of life and so in the movie we saw how Willy Wonka horrifically treated people who visited him under the guise of comedy.
The wealthy have taken insanity as a tariqah in life, Willy Wonka is how the Angel described all wealthy people on earth, they are like this but hiding it under more sane “airs”. They use insanity like a sufi tariqah so they can justify the harm they do to the world because taking responsibility is death in their world.
The watch would elevate us enough in their society, the society they created and wrote the rules of its reality, which is Elitism and exclusiveness, so their fitnah’s would not touch us the same way as people who don’t know what to do that these expensive objects can be like a taweez almost in how they shield you.
Their general advice was to elevate yourself through wealth in order to protect yourself from them, because every object has its reality. If we have to explain how they are not saying get drunk on materialism but look at things with purpose then you are already beyond our words and advice and lost in folly.
This is in fact the same advice I received from the people of fitnah on many occasions, don’t buy cheap things, the most fitnah comes with items under $100, it seems to be a rule of thumb among them where to put the most fitnah, and you are separating yourself from the “fodder” when you spend more than $1000 on something, that seems to be the other end of the spectrum for differentiation.
At the end of this conversation we saw Allah gave us a chance to see the character of these Angels because of what we requested regarding them, they are two High Angels with Allah who are Noble in character which made a mistake.
We saw this in their immediate decision to take responsibility and fix what they could in our life, without hesitation after they saw we had Haq to ask what we asked, Allah would not give them a noble light that told people their quality otherwise.
So we made dua to Allah for them, saying they are Noble Angels deserving of being mentioned in the Quran by Him, which is an honour for any creature because these are Allah’s timeless words with Him from pre-eternity and all subjects in it take precedent in creation over everything else, these two Angels are mentioned by name which is very rare.
Insha Allah take the advice they gave us in your life because it is the advice for our time and the future of Islam, the Imams of Islam will do the same and you will see them act upon it, so understand why:
Abu Sa’id al-Khudri (ra) said the prophet said: “There will be the Mahdi in my Ummah; if it (his time) is shortened then seven (years), and if not, then nine (years), and my Ummah will be blessed in him with a blessing the like of which they will have never heard. The earth will give up its produce and nothing of it will be stored, and wealth on that day will be in heaps, so that a man will stand up and say, ‘Mahdi, give me!’ and he will say, ‘Take’.” (Sunan Ibn Majah)
The insanity people are hiding began when they started caging people to indoctrinate them into the occult and enslave them in themselves under the control of Jinn, just like Rasul Allah (saws) describes the fitnah of the Dajjal which he will try to spread around the world:
“Then Jesus son of Mary will descend, and will call the people at dawn: “O people, what prevented you from coming out to fight this evil liar?” They will answer, “He is a Jinn.” (His character is enslaved to Jinn).
The people of this fitnah invented a new Deen for people to secretly live by while they hid this truth outwardly with idiotic ideologies that where only varying paths/evils that corrupted people and led to the same fate.
Capitalism the worship of money, Communism and Socialism the theft of wealth, power and identity, it is not what these ideologies advocated but what they took away from society and drove people to where their evil lay.
This is why these people are called the camp of hypocrites, that half the world will adopt, by Rasul Allah (saws) not because of simple hypocrisy but because they are hiding a fitnah as evil as the fitnah of the Dajjal and fooling the world with sheeps skin.
This is the hadith about their fitnah, Allah addresses this intention of theirs directly.
Allah said the following in a hadith Qudsi; Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (saws) said: “In the end of time there shall come men who will swindle the world (Dunya in Arabic, comprehensively meaning the entire globe) with Deen (a general word which mean’s “a way of life”), deceiving the people in soft skins of sheep, their tongues are sweeter than sugar and their hearts are the hearts of wolves. Allah [Mighty and Sublime is He] says: ‘Is it me you try to delude or is it against me whom you conspire? (They are lying about their inner reality and fooling people outwardly with mislabels. They are even trying to fool Allah, this statement is about their Haq/reality being used to fool which is why Allah says they are trying to fool Him, because he is Al Haq, the reality of everything) By Me, I swear to send upon these people, among them, a Fitnah that leaves them utterly devoid of reason (Allah will make their world go insane, the world we see today is a result of that punishment by Allah, America thinks what they are promoting is normal, rather, they have no “reason” to think with).” (Tirmidhi)
“The whole world was filled with wonder (technology) and followed the (British Empire). 4 People worshiped (Satan) because he had given authority to this beast, (They flocked to see the British Empires power to get it and ended up worshiping satan by the end because they were enslaved by them), and they also worshiped (became enslaved by) the beast (the secret British way of life, which forced them to worship Jinn).” (The Book of Revelations)
This is why the world today seems to be going insane, it is not a new path that suddenly emerged and took over, what is happening is that what has been in these people’s hearts for so many generations is finally surfacing and this is what Allah is waiting for to occur before He punishes them.
Allah is waiting for what is in their hearts to come to the surface so He can strike its face, this is the role of the Dajjal to gather these people under one flag out in the open so Allah can kill them and their way of life.
