The World Will Be Split Into Two Camps

584aa2a99874ce4d2dca12d176f1d95bبسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Salman al farisi (ra) said “I swear to him who holds my life”, (the prophet (saws) said) “Oh Salman, at that time will talk (al) ‘Ruwaybidah’ (the corruptors of society). Salman asked: “And what is Ruwaybidah? O Messenger of Allah, my father and mother be sacrificed for you.” (the) Holy Prophet (saws) said, “Such (degenerate) persons will talk about (and govern) public affairs who had not talked in such matters (as these) before (they will govern over matters not normally governed over, and will govern peoples private lives to degrees never heard of before). Then in a short time, chaos will appear upon the earth, and every nation will think that chaos was only in their land (but it will cover the whole world). They will remain in that condition as long as Allah would wish them to remain.”

The prophet (saws) described the world we see today perfectly, not simply what is reported in the news and is being manipulated, but what is happening behind the scenes to control peoples lives. We will mostly Quote Ahadith In part to be brief.

The Prophet (saws) said, “At the end of time there will be a trial in which people will be sorted (called fitnatul Duhaima) in a similar way to that in which gold is sorted from metal.”

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said: “There will be at the end of time a trial that will sort out men as gold is sorted out from metal (fitnatul Duhaima)” (These Ahadith are found in the references of Abu Dawud, Ahmad, Ibn Majah and At-Tabarani and al Hakim reported them).

The prophet (saws) begins these lengthier Ahadith by mentioning the sifting of people, “At the end of time there will be a trial in which people will be sorted in a similar way to that in which gold is sorted from metal” the precious metal is removed from the scrap ore around it, hence He (saws) is telling us the pure religious people will be sorted from the scrap degenerate people around them. This Fitnah that began splitting the world into two camps is called the Duhaima, or the era of darkness, and it was the September the 11th attacks in which America famously declared “You are either with us or against Us”, this is all made clear by many other ahadith outlined elsewhere in our works.

The prophet (saws) gave us a history of how this Fitnah entered the islamic world and came to dominate it, by outlining the events that shaped the Islamic world before hand, it all began with the first Gulf War in which America first invaded Islamic lands on such a large scale.

The Prophet (pbuh) said: There will be such troubles and calamities that nobody will have a place to shelter from them. These calamities will travel around Sham (the initial wars after WW2 between the 50’s, 70’s and 80’s) and settle over Iraq (Iran-Iraq war, the Iraq-Kuwait war then finally the first Gulf war in the 90’s that ensured war would permanently settle over iraq to this day and into the future). They will bind the Arabian Peninsula (in it’s politics)…As they attempt to eliminate these calamities in one (place) they will arise again in another (the invasion of Afghanistan then the Syrian Civil War). (Kenzul Ummal, Book of Thoughts on Doomsday, Vol 5, p 38-39)

Abdullah ibn Umar said: While we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah he mentioned the Fitan (strifes, trials & tribulations), mentioning many of them until he mentioned Fitnatul Ahlaas (The trial of the Saddlebag). Someone asked him: ‘ O Messenger of Allah, what is fitnatul Ahlaas? He said “It is the usurping of wealth and the fleeing” (the Iraq Kuwait war because of which America entered Islamic lands and has never really left. The simile is of raiders riding into a town and plundering it of all the wealth they can carry in their saddlebags then fleeing, which Iraq did to Kuwait, the so called war lasting only two days until America intervened). Then (after it), will come Fitnatul Sarra (the fitna of secrets, espionage, subversion of islamic society by spying on the islamic population to govern their private lives through the Ruwaibidah, the degenerates placed in charge): its smoke (effects from it’s fire which occurred because of the worlds largest war of espionage, the cold war, between the U.S and USSR) is under the feet of a man (descendant) from my household (family), who claims he is of me, but he is not because my Awlyia (saintly men) are those who fear Allah (Saddam Hussein, whose last name indicates He is from Ahl al bait, but His actions took Him out of it). Then people will gather and agree upon a man, (but it will be an agreement that is) like a hip on a rib (meaning this will be a temporary arrangement, as a hip bone does not belong on the rib, a person needs to bend forward for that to occur and so he can’t stay in that posture. Before September the 11th the Arab world at large rallied around Osama bin Laden who was attacking America around the world). Then there will be the Duhaima (Blind black, dark, catastrophic) trial (the era of Darkness). It will afflict every single person from this Nation. When it will be said that it is over, it will return; during it, a man will be a believer in the morning and a disbeliever (by) the night (such is it’s intensity). (This will continue) until people will go to two Fustaats (groups) — the Fustaat of Eemaan (Group of faith and religion), in which there is no hypocrisy, and the Fustaat of hypocrisy, in which there is no Eemaan (Religion, the group of hypocrites will be Kufar in secret, but they will openly profess religion, this is why they are Hypocrites). And when that will come to you (when the sorting of people into the group of religion and the group of kufr will finally end), wait for the Dajjaal on that day or on the morrow.” (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 37, Hadith 3. Ahmad related it as well in his Musnad).

The Duhaima (September the 11th) is the Fitnah that will sort people out into two camps until the time of the Dajjal (Allah’s curse be upon him), and will only end when He emerges because He will take control of the camp of hypocrites and attack the camp of Religion trying to destroy them and religion completely.

People today are being forced to Join the group of Hypocrites, this is done by various ways the most effective is the use of sihr (the occult) against them, the prophet (saws) said “at the end of time sihr will be widespread”, a person “will be a believer in the morning and a disbeliever (by) the night”.

People will be made Kufar in a short period of time by society also using Maskh on them, this is the deliberate stunting of peoples intellects and intelligence using Sihr and drugs (pharmaceuticals). The prophet (saws) swore by Allah himself that this would occur to His community, the Prophet (saws) said, “By the One Who has sent me with the Truth, this world will not come to an end until they are afflicted with Al-Khasf (earth-quakes), Al-Qadhf (Bombardment), and Al-Maskh (emergence of people who perform maskh on other’s)”.

Maskh literally means to shrink or stunt someones personal growth, today they deliberately stunt large portions of societies intellects so they can’t judge clearly and be taken advantage of by those who practice Sihr (the occult), hence today they have made society revolve around them and the elitist societies who perfected it. This is the camp of the hypocrites the prophet (saws) spoke about, these people are the forerunners to the Dajjal (Allah’s curse be upon him) who the prophet (saws) said will pave the way for Him setting up his system before He arrives. The Dajjal (Allah’s curse be upon Him) is the biggest occultist this world will face, He will use a combination of Sihr and technology to delude people, hence what we see today, including Maskh, is the system He will perfect and try to imprison the world with when He emerges.

This state of affairs, of Maskh and Sihr (the occult) being widely used is also clearly prophesied in the bible. The prophet (saws) mentions the effects of Maskh on society clearly in the next hadith.

The companions said in reference to the madness in the world today (caused by Maskh), shocked that people would act so blindly and immaturely…“And while the book of Allah will be still with us?!” the prophet (saws) said: “While the book of Allah will be still with you.” We said: “Subhan’Allaah!! And while our intellects will be conscious?!” He said: “No, no, the intellects of the general masses at that time will be deceived! They will be following fools that have no intellects themselves. They will be assuming they have a (legitimate) cause, but they will not have a (legitimate) cause.” (Ahmad, Ibn Majah, Ibn Hibban)

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said to Kab ibn Ujrah “O Ka’ab ibn Ujrah, may Allah give us refuge from the rulings of al Sufaha (those who brainwash others and are brainwashed themselves, these are the elite societies who perform Maskh on each other and society, and the Ruwaibidah they use to control society). The prophet was asked “O messenger of Allah what is the rulings of al Sufaha? He (saws) said “Rulers who will be after me (at the end of time). They do not follow my guidance, and they do not implement my sunnah. The one who follows their lies, and helps them in their oppression (use of Maskh), he is not from me, and I am not from him, and he will not enter my Hawd (paradise). And the one who did not believe their lies, and did no help them in their oppression, he is from me, and I am from him, and he will enter my Hawd. (Sahih Ibn Hibban, al Mustadrak, al Hakim)

Imam Badr al-Din al-Ayni (d.855 AH) said: The phrase, ‘sufaha al-ahlam’, implies ‘mentally deficient are the brainwashed’, the Messenger of Allah (saws) said, “At the end of time there shall appear a folk (so recognize them), young in age and brainwashed (Sufaha al Ahlam)”.

Allah mentions the camp of the hypocrites in the Quran in clear terms; And there are among mankind people who say: We believe in Allah and the last day; and they are not at all believers (the camp of the Hypocrites). They desire to deceive Allah and those who believe, and they deceive only themselves and they do not perceive. There is a disease in their hearts, so Allah added to their disease and they shall have a painful chastisement because they lied. And when they are told, “Do not spread corruption on earth,” they answer, “We are but improving things!”Are not they indeed the spreaders of corruption? But they perceive not. And when it is said to them: Believe as the people believe, they say: Shall we believe as the deluded (Sufaha) believe? Now surely they themselves are deluded (Sufaha), but they do not know.”(2:7-13)

Allah then goes on to amazingly talk about the occult practice of the camp of hypocrites who pretend they are Muslims, “And when they meet those who have attained to faith, they assert, “We believe [as you believe]”; but when they find themselves alone with their devils (Jinn), they say (to their Jinn), “Verily, we are with you; we were only mocking!”(2:14)
From verse 7 to verse 20 in surah al Baqarah Allah uses 13 verses to describe the state of mind and reality of these people who are the most deluded people that Allah has ever mentioned in the Quran.

Many people today have joined the camp of the hypocrites who are fake muslims, christians and Jews (etc), pretending they still have Islam (religion) but practice Sihr (the occult) on people on behalf of those who control them and society. Allah will never accept these people until they get themselves out of this camp and situation and return to the camp of the muslims in order to struggle with them for the future, the muslims have given up their lives and families for their Deen so Allah won’t show leniency to those who put them in this hardship, and in fact He swore this in the Quran at the beginning of time when Adam was still in Jannah, such was Allah’s knowledge of this matter.

You have to save your self from the Hypocrites by any means in order to save your Akhira (afterlife), because these people controlling the camp of Hypocrites follow the occult and are part of Iblis’s plan for the world, (Iblis/Satan) said: “O my Lord! Give me then respite till the Day the (dead) are raised.” (Allah) said: “Respite is granted thee till the Day of the Time appointed.” (Iblis) said: “O my Lord! Because Thou hast put me in the wrong, I will make (wrong) fair-seeming to them on earth (I will delude them about matters in their lives), and I will put them all in the wrong (making wrong and shortsighted choices), Except Thy servants among them, sincere and purified (who purify themselves spiritually).” (Allah) said: “This (path of purifying our character) is indeed a way that leads straight to Me. For over My servants (who do this) no authority (control) shalt thou have, except such as put themselves in the wrong (perform corrupt acts) and follow thee.” (15: 36–42)
Allah swore he would throw the camp of iblis and those who follow Him and His ways into Hell, there is no other end for the camp of hypocrites.

Save your self before your life ends and leave them, even if they are your family, leave them before your religion leaves you, Ibn ‘Umar said: “The Messenger of Allaah (saws) said: ‘Whoever imitates a people is one of them.’” (Abu Dawood) while Allah said “And if any amongst you takes them [Jews and Christians] as Awliyaa’ [friends, helpers]), then surely, he is one of them…”(5:51)

Iblis said: “Because thou hast thrown me out of the way, lo! I will lie in wait for them on thy straight way: Then will I assault them from before them and behind them, from their right and their left: Nor wilt thou find, in most of them, gratitude.” (Allah) said: “Get out from this (Jannah), disgraced and expelled. If any of them follow thee – Hell will I fill with you all.” (7: 16–18) There is is no other end for this camp, so take Heed the Mizan (scales) with Allah is an eye for an eye and nothing less.

“And We ordained for them therein a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds is legal retribution”(5:45). Practicing the occult for the sake of business will never be accepted, if you destroy someones life the destruction of your Akhira and life is it’s retribution as punishment.

But before that even happens in the next life, in this world you have automatically forfeited your life because the Prophet (saws) commanded: “Kill every sorcerer (Sahir), for this is the punishment ordained by Allah”, those who practice the occult or have it practiced for them, their Islam will never be accepted by Allah, this is why the prophet (saws) described the camp of Hypocrites as the camp of Kufr with no religion. So don’t stay with them, if death comes to you in that state, while your with them this is the decree of Allah upon you, you are one of them. The Messenger of Allah said, “He is not of us the one who practices sorcery, or the one for whom sorcery is done.” (At-Tabaraanee)

This is the sorting of the pure religious people from the scrap degenerate people around them, so don’t be with the degenerates if you want an afterlife, don’t wish it for your children hoping it will make life easier because it will only get worse year after year until it ends with the coming out of the Dajjal (Allah’s curse be upon Him) who will take control of this group and your children, not a day sooner than this.

The prophet (saws) said, “Perform all good deeds before the era of evil dawns (the Duhaima, which is the biggest Fitna we will face that will stop people from even performing good deeds, like salat and sawm), the darkness of which will increase in waves. The effects of these evils will be so grave that a person will be a Mu’min (believer) in the morning and a Kaafir (non believer by) night, or a Mu’min at night and a Kaafir (by) the morning. A person will sell his Deen (religion) in lieu of a paltry sum” (Muslim) religion will be sold for the sake of ease and safety in this world, but Allah won’t accept this from anyone.

The Prophet (saws) said regarding the Fitna of the Duhaima, September the 11th, which began the sorting of people “It will last for twelve years, then it will end”, America stopped their wars 12 years after they invaded Afghanistan.

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said about This fitnah’s ramifications: “The fourth Fitna (ad Duhaima) is 18 years, then it clears (America’s political effects because of it will end after 18 years). Once it clears, the Euphrates (river) will recede revealing a mountain of gold that the Umma (Muslim nation) will fight for it (more troubles and wars will occur right after these ones). Seven out of every nine (people fighting for it) will be killed.” (Nuaim ibn Hammad’s Kitab Al-Fitan)

America’s influence through the fitnah will end after 18 years, but it will continue to split the world into two camps until the Dajjal (Allah’s curse be upon him) emerges, because it has shaped people’s minds around the world and set it on a path it can’t get out of.

It gave the world tunnel vision or a myopic world view people can’t see past, Allah’s messenger (saws) said “You will indeed follow the ways of those before you, hand span by hand span, and an arms length after another. Even if they enter into a lizards hole, you will follow them.” We asked, “Is it the Jews and Christians?” He (saws) replied, “Who else!” (Bukhari).

This myopic world view is the Lizards Hole the west crawled into during the past 100 years and can’t get itself out of, this is the lizards hole the Arabs and muslims followed them into.

Save your self and leave them for the people of religion before your end arrives, otherwise your fate will be sealed with them.

Invoking and Receiving Baraka; How It Works

Shrine Of John the Baptist (Yahya) (q)

Invoking, How It Works; The word invoke has other meanings than to pray to, americans for example invoke their 5th amendment rights…..In our time of science, the science behind our deen can be explained and the difference between right and wrong that our scholars understood long ago can be made crystal clear to the rest of us. Our universe runs on laws Allah placed in it, this includes the unseen parts of it, ghayb, there is one law in science that explains how distant things connect with each spiritually, it is called quantum entanglement and our body uses it all the time [the science behind it is better explained in the books we have written, found at my website, here we are just summing up].

The idea of Invoking something, meaning connecting to it spiritually is the foundation of our religion, because the first verse Allah revealed in the Quran was for the Prophet (saws) to Invoke Allah while he was reading the spiritual signs so Allah could empower Him to understand them.

Gabriel asked the prophet to Iqra, read, Iqra in the name of your Lord who createth. In the name of is an invocation that connects us spiritually with a specific quality of Allah, in this verse two qualities Rabb and Creator.

How we are connected is a matter of science because at some point the body has to be doing something to connect itself and another thing so our heart and mind perceive, there is no alternative to this, religion isn’t magic.

Allah in the Quran often invokes things other than Him so we connect ourself to them while we are reading the Quran;

“Nuun By the pen And by the (record) Which (they) write.” 68:1

The words “By the” are an invocation for our benefit, Allah does this in the form of an Oath we recite after Him, but the act is an invocation by us. Imam al Ghazali explained in His work Mishqat al Anwar, that the Quran is a sun for the mind, it directs the self and connects it spiritually with the things Allah created in the seen and unseen universe (ghayb) as we read it.

In this respect Imam Ali (ra) explained “the vision of the eye is limited, (but) the vision of the heart transcends all barriers of time and space”, so the act of invoking connects a person spiritually to what ever they invoke regardless of whether it is in the physical world or in ghayb (the unseen).

Allah does this many times for us in the Quran;

In one Surah alone he does this more than 10 times asking us to invoke these things we are reciting so we can learn from them;

“BY the sun and its radiant brightness, By the moon as it reflects the sun!, BY the day as it reveals the (sun to the) world, By the night as it veils it darkly!, BY the sky and its wondrous make, By the earth and all its expanse! BY the Soul and how it is formed in accordance with what it is meant to be, And inspired it with what is wrong for it and right for it. To a happy state shall indeed attain he who causes this [self] to grow in purity, and truly lost is he who buries it [in darkness].”(al Shams, 91)

Elsewhere in the Quran He asks us to invoke not just created objects but ideas and thoughts so we benefit from them, He often asks us to do this when He begins a verse with the words “Say”, in other words invoke this idea so you benefit from it;

“Say: Are those equal, those who know and those who do not know?” 39:9

“Say, Journey in the land, and behold how He originated creation,.” 29:20

Allah also uses the words “and remember” to ask us to invoke things;

“And remember Abraham and Isma’il raised the foundations of the House (with this prayer): Our Lord accept (this service) from us, for you are the All-Hearing, the All-knowing.” 2:127

The act of reading these verses invokes the things being mentioned so we connect to them spiritually, this is the understanding of the great scholars of Islam, this is the science behind how the Quran benefits man spiritually, if we didn’t connect with these things on a spiritual level then there can be no benefit (baraka) in the Quran, to this end Allah explains that the Quran was sent down for this very purpose;

“And We send down with the Qur’an that which is healing and mercy for the believers, but it does not increase the wrongdoers except in loss.”(17:82)

This verse tells us a number of things about how this works, the words send down means we are given things from the spiritual world when we recite the Quran, things that heal us spiritually and psychologically and are a mercy, meaning things that protect us from harm in life. The other thing it tells us is that when the wrong doers read the Quran it increases them in loss, this is because through the wrong they do they build themselves up in the world on the back of haram, but the Quran takes them in the opposite direction towards good, so they loose the evil spiritual strength they had as they recite it.

It’s considered a loss for them because they deliberately persist in Haram for the sake of being strong and when they see good they ignore it, so it doesn’t benefit them anything except the loss of their strength, power and influence.

This is the act of invoking in the Quran, but people can invoke anything to connect to it spiritually, it is a fundamental law in the universe that people can use for wrong or for good. For example people who practice sihr invoke evil things to increase the effectiveness of their sihr, if the act of invoking didn’t connect you spiritually to what is being invoked then sihr would not work, but Allah mentions it clearly in the Quran, the evil eye also works by connecting to people or things spiritually with a gaze that has a bad intention behind it.

Muslims understood this law in the universe and discovered ways to use it to benefit people and society. Invoking the names of prophet of saintly men while pleading to Allah means to connect spiritually with the souls of these prophets and Awliyah, the science behind it then brings it’s Baraka into your life. All souls are given their place in the Akhira right after death, the place is a Maqam (station or rank) of baraka Allah granted them in the universe, this is the same for all people, but the Maqam of the Prophets has the most Baraka attached to it, this is Allah’s gift to them. The prophet (saws) Allah gave him the Maqam of writing His (saws) name on the Arsh (throne), the Arsh is what supports the entire universe and Allows man to know Allah, so the soul of the prophet has this benefit with it when it is invoked in the Quran, so man can know Allah when they invoke his (saws) name, a tremendous rank.

This is the essence behind invoking the names of those near to Allah, whether they hear you or not is not relevant and is entirely up to Allah and His Angels who choose to convey your words. But the science behind invoking works regardless, just like gravity doesn’t discriminate about who and what it affects on earth.

The Destruction Of Knowledge In Islam

QulX4Today we are plagued with fake fatwas by fake scholars and fake individuals on Q&A sites pretending to be knowledgable people hiding behind a mirage of authority because their organisation knows how to fake looking respectable and scholarly. Most of the time the absurd rulings which are never not adequately researched happens to be a woman with a fake profile picture on Facebook, suddenly she has a massive fan club of thousands that can’t even read the arabic alphabet who then begin defending her heresy. This is all deliberately done to manipulate trends and public opinion in the islamic world so they can sway and manoeuvre entire populations away from orthodox Islam, the prophet (saws) gave one piece of advice over and over again for the people of our time to combat this deliberate fitnah being staged by our own people against us;

He (saws) said repeatedly “You have to follow the congregation for verily Allah will not make the largest group of Muhammad’s community agree on error”… “Shaytan is a wolf like the wolf that preys on sheep, taking the isolated and the stray among them; therefore, avoid factionalism and keep to the congregation and the collective and the masjid”…“Allah’s hand is over the group, and whoever dissents from them departs to hell”…“Allah’s hand is over the group, follow the largest group, for verily whoever dissents from them departs to hell”.

The main body of muslims follow the same orthodox madhhabs that have been around from day one, in terms of islamic population, of 1.5 billion muslims Sufi’s make up over 55% of the Muslim Ummah, Salafi’s are not even 1%, of the sunni’s Hanafi’s are about 45% of the Muslim Umma, Shafii’s are about 33%, Maliki’s about 19% and Hanbali’s about 3% which is about the same number of people in the Arabian peninsula who are the smallest Islamic demographic.

Anas bin Maalik (ra) narrates that Rasulullah (saws) said: “Indeed, the example of the ‘Ulama (real scholar) is like that of stars in the sky, by which guidance is obtained in the darkness of the land and water…” (Musnad Ahmad)

The prophet (saws) said, “The virtue of a Alim (real scholar) to a worshipper (Aabid) is similar to the virtue of the moon when  it is full to the rest of the stars. And verily the Ulema are the inheritors of the Prophets. Verily the Prophets did not leave behind dirhams and deenars (money), but rather they left behind knowledge.” (Abu Dawood, Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah).

Abu Huraira reported the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The wise saying is the lost property of the believer, so wherever he finds it then he has a right to it.” (At-Tirmidhi)

Proper Islamic knowledge has been deliberately undermined for the past 100 years, everything that can be done is being done to corrupt it or alternately peoples understanding of it by public figures in the islamic world most would call scholars or respectable people, in a world that is heavily controlled by governments subservient to one super power no one is given an accidental podium, these people don’t speak out against islam, that is public suicide what they do is careful move you away from the real message so true islam will seem strange to people when they hear it. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Islam began as a something strange and it will return to being strange, so blessed are the strangers.” (Those who know Islam) (Muslim) real Islam is the one that teaches you how to struggle against the world and your nafs, it is the one that has the ability to change you, if you have been listening to a scholar for 10 years and never learned the steps of how to change your life in the world you live in all you have been doing is being fed a bunch of facts, true or not a list of facts don’t do anything and this is deception the prophet (saws) said would be occurring, duplicit scholars making certain people don’t know how to act so everything in islamic society becomes superficial and fake.

When a scholar teaches you a path you need take in life and how to take it step by step that is complete Islam, anything less than that is a scholar for hire.

It may be a shock to know but nearly all modern publications of the Sahih Sita, Bukhari, Muslim, Dawuud, Tirmidhi etc, contain errors or are missing ahadith found in the original hand written manuscripts, this is the sad sate of islamic publications, in some cases the number of missing ahadith runs into the hundreds and in the case of the Musnad of Imam Ahmad it was found that in all published editions nearly 100 ahadith where missing that existed in the original manuscripts. This deliberate tampering of classical text is discovered almost every year in a published islamic text, the list of books is very long and it begins with false translations of the Quran to promote a sects ideology, selective “translations” of hadith collections, or ahadith being cut of outright. Tampering with fiqh manuals and every other kind of classical text one can imagine all deliberately done to manipulate islamic populations and create trends in religion people follow, if you don’t like fake Fiqh then for some fake spirituality will do nothing is left alone and there are fake groups for everything.

One scholar wrote about the tampering with Imam Nawawi’s Riyad al Saliheen “A team of unprincipled editors and translators out of a Ryad publishing house by the name of Darussalam was commissioned to produce a glossy 2-volume English edition of Imam al-Nawawi’s Riyad al-Salihin – being distributed for free to Islamic schools around the world – designed to propagate “Salafi” ideology to the unwary English-speaking Muslim students of Islamic knowledge. This ideology is couched within a thoroughly unscrupulous “commentary” inserted into the book chapters and authored by an unknown or spurious “Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf of Pakistan,” “revised and edited by Mahmud Rida Murad” (1:7).” The fact is Imam Nawawi was Shafii in Fiqh, the new commentators took this book of the shafii madhhab and inserted their sects legal rulings through out it in disguise as commentary then passed it of as the famous Imams own work, they also relabelled many of it’s chapter headings because the titles went against their sects beliefs, these practices are now widespread and largely unnoticed by the uneducated public.

The people behind this are not dumb this effort is very deliberate and done by people who know exactly what they are doing and how to manipulate crowds. The prophet (saws) referring to the end of the Khalifah said “My community will be destroyed because of evil scholars and ignorant servants” (Darimi), the founder of the salafi sect also helped establish the Young turks who took over the khalifa….The Prophet (saws) said about the fake scholars and their servants “such a time will come when the scholars will be an element of Mischief” (Abu Nuaim). And “There will appear in latter times a people who will gain this world with the help of religion.” (Tirmidhi)

Allah’s Messenger (saws) said, “In the End Times men will come forth who will fraudulently use religion for worldly ends and wear sheepskins in public to display meekness. Their tongues will be sweeter than sugar, but their hearts will be the hearts of wolves.” (Tirmidhi)

The prophet (saws) said about our time “In the End Times of the community of the faithful, people who adorn the mosques but leave their own hearts in ruins, who fail to look after their religion as much as they do their clothes, who forsake their religious obligations for the sake of their activities in this world, will increase in number.” (Agreed upon)

The prophet (saws) swore by Allah himself that deception on a large scale would occur to His community, the Prophet (saws) said, “By the One Who has sent me with the Truth, this world will not come to an end until they are afflicted with Al-Khasf (earth- quakes), Al-Qadhf (Bombardment), and Al-Maskh (emergence of people who perform maskh on other’s i.e stunt, delude, deceive, peoples intellects, the deliberate dumbing down of society)”.

The companions said in reference to the madness in the world today shocked people would act so dumb and blindly…“And while the book of Allah will be still with us?!” He said: “While the book of Allah will be still with you.” We said: “Subhan’Allaah!! And while our intellects will be conscious?!” He said: “No, no, the intellects of the general masses at that time will be deceived! They will be following fools that have no intellects themselves. They will be assuming they have a cause (to follow), but they will not have a (legitimate) cause.” (Ahmad, Ibn Majah, Ibn Hibban).

The prophet (saws) said “The hour will not come until renunciation of this world (the heart of all spiritual life) no longer remains in peoples vocabulary (religious institutions and their scholars no longer teach it), and until fear of Allah also becomes artificial” (it is fake, your supposed to have it but no one actually does) (Jamiu al Sahgir, Imam Suyuti)

The Holy prophet (saws) prophesized about the current fitna of people abandoning real Ulema and following corrupt leaders, He (saws) said “…the people will take the ignorant as leaders,  who are asked for and give Islamic legal opinions without knowledge,  misguided and misguiding.” (Sahih Bukhari)

The prophet (saws) said “Such a time will come to people that only the name of Islam and the image of the Quran will remain (people won’t know actual Islamic knowledge which shapes peoples lives, and everything will be superficial, this situation was manufactured in society by those in charge of educating it). Mosques will be prosperous on the outside (they have the appearance that everything is fine), but will have no salvation in them (no real education). Their scholars will be the most evil under the sky. Corruption emerged from them and will return to them.” (Al Bayhaqi).

The prophet (saws) said “There will come a time for my people when… the mosques will be full of people but they will be empty of right guidance.” (Ibn Babuya, Thawab ul-A’mal), “A time will come upon people in which they will use the Masjid as a pavilion (a meeting place for the corrupt).” (Narrated by Hasan (r.a.), “Let him who reads the Qur’an ask (his reward) from Allah. Because in the final times there will be many people who read the Qur’an and seek their reward from other people (they read for show, benefit, money or to fool and manipulate people by displaying religion in front of them).” (Tirmidhi)

The prophet (saws) said “A time will come when the hypocrites will live secretly among you (secretly trying to corrupt you), and the faithful will try to live their religion in secret among others (because they are oppressed in public and in the groups these hypocrites live in).” (Agreed upon), “There will be years of deceit, in which a truthful person will be disbelieved and a liar will be believed” (Ibn Kathir),  “The (end of) time will be years of confusion. People will believe a liar, and disbelieve one who tells the truth. People will distrust one who is trustworthy, and trust one who is treacherous.” (because they can gain from them in life) (Ahmad) “There will be an abundance of critics, tale-carriers, backbiters and taunters in society.” (Al-Muttaqi Al-Hindi, Muntakhab Kanzul Ummaal) Ibn Mas’ood said, “Those are the days…when a man will not be safe from the companion he sits with.” Waabisah said, “And what do you order me to do if I reach that time?” He said, “Restrain your tongue and your hand, and be a fixture from the fixtures of your house.” (Abu Dawwud) Don’t get involved in community affairs not even the masjids who are filled with evil scholars, stay in your home.

Anas ibn Malik said, “I shall tell you a hadith which I heard from the Messenger of Allah (May Allah shower peace and blessings upon him), and which no-one will tell you after me. I heard him say “Among the signs of the Hour will be disappearance of knowledge and the appearance of ignorance. Adultery will be prevalent and the drinking of wine will be common…”” (Bukhari, Muslim).

The prophet (saws) said “Near the establishment of the hour there will days during which ignorance will spread, knowledge will be taken away and there will be much Harj, and al Harj means killing.”(Bukhari).

Allah’s messenger (saws) mentioned something and said “It will happen when knowledge will be no more. (Ziyad) said: “Allah’s messenger, how will knowledge vanish despite the fact that we will be reciting the Quran and teaching its recitation to our children and our children will teach it’s recitation to their children up to the day of Resurrection?” thereupon he (saws) said: “Ziyad, do these jews and christians not recite the Torah and the bible but not act according to what is contained in them?” (Ahmad, Ibn Maaja, Tirmidhi). Because everything will deliberately be made superficial people will no longer act on anything or have the knowledge that is only gained from experience in life.

Allah said  “The metaphor of those who were charged with the Torah but then have not upheld it, is that of a donkey carrying books…”(Surah Jumuah, verse 5)

The Prophet (saws) said that, despite the fact the Qur’an will be read, the knowledge and wisdom it contains will not be considered. “There will come a time upon the Umma when people will recite the Qur’an, but it will not go further than their throats” (Bukhari) it won’t reach their hearts because they are not sincere and the recitation is fake.

The prophet (saws) referring to scholars said “Wolves (scholars who use up people) will give readings in the end of time. Let those who come to those times seek shelter from their evil in Allah. They will be very corrupt people. Hypocrisy will prevail, and nobody will be ashamed of it and it’s manifestations (appearance in society).”(Tirmidhi)

He (saws) said about the people spreading this fitnah in the Ummah, they “shall continue to appear until the last of them appears with the Anti-Christ”

The prophet (saws) literally said people won’t be able to recognise them, and they will have a hard time seeing them for what they are; Ali (ra) said, “O people! Indeed, I heard Allah’s Messenger say, ‘There shall be a folk that comes from my Umma and they will recite the Quran—your recitation will not be comparable to theirs, or your prayers or your fasting to theirs. They will recite the Quran and believe it supports them but [in reality] it is against them. Their prayers will not go past their throats, and they shall exit from the religion just as an arrow exits from a hunted game. If only the army who encounters them knew what has been decreed for them upon the tongue of their Prophet, they would rely on it [if they knew it was referring to them]…they have shed inviolable blood and raided the people’s belongings. So go forth [against them] in the name of Allah”.’

All this is the work of the groups and sects that where invented during the last 150 years.

The prophet (saws) said “Seventy thousand scholars wearing turbans from my community will follow the Dajjaal” (Ahmad ibn Hanbal) these are the evil scholars in the masjid responsible for destroying the Umma of Muhammad (saws) today.

This is part of a larger hadith spanning the history of Islam, Hudhayfah said, I said: “O Messenger of Allah, will there be evil after this good?” (after the Khalifah has ended, after WW1) He said: “Yes, callers to the gates of Hell. (This is when the sects spread) Whoever answers their call, they will throw him into it.” “I said: “O Messenger of Allah! Describe them to us.” So he said: “They are from our people (arabs who are evil scholars), and they will speak our language.” “I said: “So what do you order me to do if that reaches me?” He said: “Hold fast to the Jama’ah (largest body) of the Muslims and their imam.” “I said: “And if there is no jama’ah, and no imam?” (no khalifa) He said: “Then avoid all of those groups (sects that will appear), even if you have to bite on the root of a tree (isolated from society), and death reaches you in that state.” (Bukhara)

1) How Could The Occult With All It’s Horrors Be Adopted So Widely In Western Society

This is a mater of history, the path a people choose to take is based on their prior practices and what they are capable of as a people which will make any new path acceptable in their eyes. The level to which they have reached in one direction is the environment their children are raised in and what they will come to consider normal, from which they can only advance down similar paths as they seek to move forward in life and surpass their fathers.

They have long been famed for their love of lavish banquets and rich recipes.  But what is less well known is that the British royals also had a taste for human flesh.

A new book on medicinal cannibalism has revealed that possibly as recently as the end of the 18th century British royalty swallowed parts of the human body. The author adds that this was not a practice reserved for monarchs but was widespread among the well-to-do in Europe. Medicinal cannibalism: Both Queen Mary II and her uncle King Charles II both took distilled human skull on their deathbeds in 1698 and 1685 respectively, according to Dr Sugg.

Even as they denounced the barbaric cannibals of the New World, they applied, drank, or wore powdered Egyptian mummy, human fat, flesh, bone, blood, brains and skin. Moss taken from the skulls of dead soldiers was even used as a cure for nosebleeds, according to Dr Richard Sugg at Durham University.

Dr Sugg said: ‘The human body has been widely used as a therapeutic agent with the most popular treatments involving flesh, bone or blood. ‘Cannibalism was found not only in the New World, as often believed, but also in Europe. ‘One thing we are rarely taught at school yet is evidenced in literary and historic texts of the time is this: James I refused corpse medicine; Charles II made his own corpse medicine; and Charles I was made into corpse medicine.

‘Along with Charles II, eminent users or prescribers included Francis I, Elizabeth I’s surgeon John Banister, Elizabeth Grey, Countess of Kent, Robert Boyle, Thomas Willis, William III, and Queen Mary.’ New world: Depiction of cannibalism in the Brazilian Tupinambá tribe as described by Hans Staden in 1557. Whether true or not, the myth ignored the fact that Europeans consumed human flesh. The history of medicinal cannibalism, Dr Sugg argues, raised a number of important social questions. He said: ‘Medicinal cannibalism used the formidable weight of European science, publishing, trade networks and educated theory.

‘Whilst corpse medicine has sometimes been presented as a medieval therapy, it was at its height during the social and scientific revolutions of early-modern Britain. ‘It survived well into the 18th century, and amongst the poor it lingered stubbornly on into the time of Queen Victoria. ‘Quite apart from the question of cannibalism, the sourcing of body parts now looks highly unethical to us.

‘In the heyday of medicinal cannibalism bodies or bones were routinely taken from Egyptian tombs and European graveyards. Not only that, but some way into the eighteenth century one of the biggest imports from Ireland into Britain was human skulls. ‘Whether or not all this was worse than the modern black market in human organs is difficult to say.’

The book gives numerous vivid, often disturbing examples of the practice, ranging from the execution scaffolds of Germany and Scandinavia, through the courts and laboratories of Italy, France and Britain, to the battlefields of Holland and Ireland and on to the tribal man-eating of the Americas. A painting showing the 1649 execution of Charles I showed people mopping up the king’s blood with handkerchiefs. Dr Sugg said: ‘This was used to treat the “king’s evil” – a complaint more usually cured by the touch of living monarchs. ‘Over in continental Europe, where the axe fell routinely on the necks of criminals, blood was the medicine of choice for many epileptics.

‘In Denmark the young Hans Christian Andersen saw parents getting their sick child to drink blood at the scaffold. So popular was this treatment that hangmen routinely had their assistants catch the blood in cups as it spurted from the necks of dying felons. ‘Occasionally a patient might shortcut this system. At one early sixteenth-century execution in Germany, ‘a vagrant grabbed the beheaded body “before it had fallen, and drank the blood from him..”.’ The last recorded instance of this practice in Germany fell in 1865.

Whilst James I had refused to take human skull, his grandson Charles II liked the idea so much that he bought the recipe. Having paid perhaps £6,000 for this, he often distilled human skull himself in his private laboratory. Dr Sugg said: ‘Accordingly known before long as “the King’s Drops”, this fluid remedy was used against epilepsy, convulsions, diseases of the head, and often as an emergency treatment for the dying. ‘It was the very first thing which Charles reached for on February 2 1685, at the start of his last illness, and was administered not only on his deathbed, but on that of Queen Mary in 1698.’

Dr Sugg’s research will be featured in a forthcoming Channel 4 documentary in which they reconstruct versions of older cannibalistic medicines with the help of pigs’ brains, blood and skull. The book, called Mummies, Cannibals and Vampires, will be published by Routledge and charts the largely forgotten history of European corpse medicine from the Renaissance to the Victorians.

[As this period was ending Occult practice began to take hold in the wider society].

2) US, UK Trained ISIS Leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi along with Mossad

By John lee Varghese

With the White House yet to give a full clarification on reports that the US trained ISIS recruits in 2012, another damning information has been leaked.

It has now emerged that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the terrorist group, was trained by Mossad, with the help of the US and the UK intelligence officials. The revelation was leaked by former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor and whistleblower Edward Snowden.

As per a report in Gulf Daily News, Snowden revealed that the US, the UK and Israel drew up a plan to protect the Zionist entity, by using a strategy called “the hornet’s nest”.

The strategy was to get all the terrorists together in one place under an Islamic slogan and engage them in a war far from Israel.

In the documents leaked by Snowden, it claims that the ISIS was made for “the protection of the Jewish state”, and thereby keeping the enemies of Israel engaged.

Snowden’s leak also revealed that ISIS leader and cleric al-Baghdadi was given intensive military training for a whole year by Mossad, besides lessons on Islam and public speaking.

3) US Trained ISIS Jihadists?

Multiple reports have stated that the US played a key role in training the recruits, who later become ISIS jihadists, who are currently controlling large swathes of land in Syria and Iraq.

The WND had reported back in February 2012 that the US, along with Turkey and Jordan, was running a training base for Syrian rebels. And these trained rebels reportedly turned against the US later and went on to form ISIS.

Thousands of rebels were trained in 2012 and 2013 in Jordan, German weekly Der Spiegel reported.

The report went on to note that the organizers of the training camps wore US Marine uniforms, and the recruits were trained in anti-tank weaponry.

4) Snowden Confirms That Al Baghdadi was Trained by Israeli Intel Mossad

GULF DAILY NEWS
Tuesday, July 15, 2014
WASHINGTON:

The former employee at US National Security Agency (NSA), Edward Snowden, has revealed that the British and American intelligence and the Mossad worked together to create the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

Snowden said intelligence services of three countries created a terrorist organization that is able to attract all extremists of the world to one place, using a strategy called “the hornet’s nest”.

NSA documents refer to recent implementation of the hornet’s nest to protect the Zionist entity by creating religious and Islamic slogans.

According to documents released by Snowden, “The only solution for the protection of the Jewish state “is to create an enemy near its borders”.

Leaks revealed that ISIS leader and cleric Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi took intensive military training for a whole year in the hands of Mossad, besides courses in theology and the art of speech.

Final Note

I would first like to end this work by apologizing for any grammatical or spelling mistakes you may find through out the work, publishing houses usually employ full time proof readers to correct the drafts authors send in, this unfortunately isn’t available to us, and we did not employ American grammar or spelling natively, we are continually checking the work and will be updating it over time.

Bismillah Rahmani Raheem, as a muslim, we have testified in this work against a number of people and as such under Islamic Law our words carry both weight and consequences with Allah, so we would like our final words to be my testimony in front of Allah and his Angels that what I have said was my sincere belief as I witnessed it or learnt about it through research, and I will meet Allah on the day of judgment with these words in front of me Insha Allah against those who harmed Islam and Muslims.

“Thus we have appointed you a balanced nation, that ye may be witnesses against mankind”(2:143)

Methodology: Chronological Order Of Ahadith

8d455a42d0c7e96e19c409aca643f2e3A number of years ago i began research for another book entitled “The Lifespan of this Ummah and It’s History According to Prophetic Narration’s from Beginning to End”, it was a chronological arrangement of the prophetic Narration’s about the signs of the hour which simultaneously focused on the many Ahadith which indicated that the age span of this Ummah (how long Islam would remain on earth) was known to Rasul Allah (saws). All things were shown to the prophet (saws) except for five matters, He (saws) did not know when the hour itself would occur but knew everything else before hand.

The Ahadith are far to many to mention here but it is enough to mention that Imam Bukhari narrates seven ahadith in his Sahih regarding the matter while Imam Ibn Hajar in his famous Tafsir (exegesis) to Sahih Bukhari, ‘Fath al Bari’ commented on this giving a specific lifespan for Islam.

Since we are at the end of time we have the advantage of hindsight scholars from previous era’s did not, most of the events have already occurred with only the major signs remaining.

Yet hardly any new books have been written on the subject, most printed works are those of Imam Ibn Kathir, whose work is extremely accurate after recent investigation’s, but lacked precision and finality in pinpointing specific events that have occurred in our life, since he was talking about a distant future, while to us it is all history. The Imam for instance would arrange three or four narration’s under a specific heading and then arrange all of these headings in a larger timeline, but the narration’s themselves would not be in any specific order only the title’s.

The book is still being researched and is a larger scope than this present work, it cover’s Al Malhama Kubra (the Great Battle) in greater detail, the events surrounding the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him) and their interpretation and identifying who Yajuj wa Majuj are along with were they are, and the Lifespan of the Ummah, or how long will Islam be on earth for, scholars like Imam Abu Dawwud and Imam Tirmidhi in their respective collections similarly narrated numerous ahadith regarding this subject.

Hence most of the essential research for this book came from that effort, i have generally avoided discussion’s on methodology throughout the book for the sake of being brief and not because that investigation wasn’t carried out as i know some would like to ponder over it.

So Insha Allah we will give a brief discussion on the chronology and methodology we employed to arrive at the order in this book.

Finding and identifying the exact order of events in a large number of Ahadith was the result of a number of years of study and research into the subject, hence stating that a narration was speaking about a specific event was not done in haste or with ease.

After investigation it became very clear that in order to simplify matters we could divide narration’s into those that spoke of events before the Fall of Islam’s last Khalifah, most of which is History and easy to identify and narration’s that spoke about the last one hundred years, our present time and those of future events.

In terms of narration’s speaking about modern events the Hadith which Imam Ibn Kathir labeled “The Fitnah of the Saddlebag” is key to all modern events, it gives a list of most of the modern trials (fitan’s) the prophet (saws) spoke of and a chronology that ends with the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him) himself, spanning decades.

Abdullah ibn ‘Umar said, “While we were seated with the Messenger of Allah, he mentioned the tribulations, and he mentioned much about them until he discussed the trial of the saddlebags.” Someone said, “O Messenger of Allah, what is the trial of the saddlebags?” He said, “It is the usurping of wealth and the fleeing. Then there is the trial of As-Saraa (espionage and spying) — it’s Dakhal or smoke. Underneath my feet is a man from the people of my household who claims that he is my son (or direct descendent) but he is not from me; indeed my Awliya (companions or helpers) are only those who are the Muttaqoon (those who fear Allah). Then people will gather and agree upon a man, (but it will be an agreement that is) like a hip on a rib (temporary).Then there will be the Duhaimaa (black, dark, catastrophic) trial. It will afflict every single person from this Nation. When it will be said that it is over, it will return; during it, a man will be a believer in the morning and a disbeliever in the night. (This will continue) until people will go to two Fustaats (group’s) — the Fustaat of Eemaan (faith), in which there is no hypocrisy, and the Fustaat of hypocrisy, in which there is no Eemaan (faith). And when that will come to you (the sorting is finished), wait for the Dajjaal on that day or on the morrow.” (Abu Dawood)

In the narration it begins with the trial of the Saddlebag, next is the Trial of as-Sarra, then the Duhaima and then people being sifted into two camps an event that will end with the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him) emerging on that specific day or the one following it.
People being sifted and split into camps is spoken of in a number of other narration’s;

Abdullah ibn ‘Amr ibn Aas reported that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, “How will you (act) and the time draws near when people will be sifted; the covenants of people will be corrupted and the people will differ; then they will be like this,” and he intertwined his fingers. They said, “How should we (act), O Messenger of Allah?” He said, ” Take what you know to be good and leave what you repudiate; betake yourselves to your own private affairs and leave off the affairs of the general public.” (Abu Dawood)

In this narration the sifting is mentioned to occur just before people’s lives become intertwined, this event is identifiable and is clear because we have seen it, it is the globalization of the world due to modern technological advancement’s, we know with certainty when this globalization occurred because of the availability of technology and hence we can date it with certainty.

It was after 2001 that the internet was first introduced to the masses, prior to that it was very slow, 56k dial up modems were considered fast and the latest thing, it was limited in who used it and technology was not that advanced or widespread, by 1995 it was said only 24 million people used the internet, but by 2012 that number increased a hundred fold to 2.4 billion, from it’s increased availability a number of large industries emerged that have since shaped our lives in less then a decade.

The number of similar connections that can be made with other Ahadith, identifying specific dates, is numerous but essentially when this is done with more depth and a greater scope, a bigger picture begins to emerge along with a definite chronology.

A simple example is the following narration; Abu Hurairah related that the Prophet (saws) said, “By the One Who has sent me with the Truth, this world will not come to an end until they are afflicted with Al-Khasf (earthquakes), Al-Qadhf (strong winds that cause rocks to fly a simile for Bombardment), and Al-Maskh (emergence of people who transmute (Maskh) themselves and other’s, these are people who use Sihr and follow trends).” The Companions asked, “And when is that, O Messenger of Allah?” He said, “When you see women riding private parts (when pornography becomes widespread), when there will be many female singers (the music industry spreads and uses sexuality to sell music), when there will be much false testimony (globalization, when the contract’s become corrupt and people bear false testimony), when men will suffice themselves with men, and when women will suffice themselves with women.” (homosexuality becomes accepted in society) (Al-Haafiz Abu Bakr Al-Bazzaar related this narration, taken from Ibn Kathir’s al Bidaya wa Nihaya)

We can identify the dates because the prophet (saws) said this will occur when Pornography, music, homosexuality are wide spread and globalization has occurred. Pornography only spread around the world, as we see it today, destroying conservative societies after the advent of the Internet, prior to the internet’s emergence it is was limited to media that was restricted in it’s impact on people, like magazine’s and VHS tapes, and not easily attainable, hence the industry was still relatively small compared to what it is today. Music similarly spread with the internet and technology, along with the acceptance of homosexuality in society.

During the 90’s Homosexual people were still ostracized from mainstream life and hidden away. Hence from this we know the period that al Khasf, Qadhaf and Maskh are to occur in and we can identify them accordingly. The 2004 Tsunami was one of the biggest earthquake’s in world history, Bombardment or Qadfh refers to the wars between Israel, Lebanon, Syria and the wars of Iraq and Afghanistan.

The reach of missile’s by Hizb Allah and Syria was actually the key issue over which the war’s began, Hizb Allah would literally trade missile for missile with Israel. During this time we also saw sub cultures and the influence of occult groups, along with people who use sihr (dark magic), spread around the world, something that is openly practiced in America in both Hollywood and the Music industries, coincidentally they are responsible for creating many of these subcultures that practice sihr (dark magic) more extremely which all relate to Maskh.

The sifting of people into two camps is a key event mentioned in many narrations, it is also mentioned at the beginning of the narration regarding the War in Syria “At the end of time there will be a trial in which people (at large) will be sorted in a similar way to that in which gold is sorted from metal. Therefore (as a result of this sifting that is causing people to differ) do not rebuke the people of Syria rather, rebuke the evil people among them (Asad and his regime), because amongst them are the Abdals (Awliya). Allah will send a flood from Heaven (an event, the Arab spring) that will disperse their groups in a way (the civil) that if foxes were to attack them (ISIS and Al Qaeda) they would be victorious” (meaning the foxes are opportunistic and would not have won otherwise).

“Abu Hurairah related that the Messenger of Allah said, “Iraq will be prevented from its dirham (a currency) and its Qifaz (measurement of Oil, the sanctions of Iraq during the 90’s and early 2000); Sham will be prevented from its Mudd (measurement of wheat) and its Dinar (a currency) and Egypt will be prevented from its Irdab (measurement of grain) and its Dinar (currency). You will recoil to that position from were you started and you will recoil to that position from were you started (the Khalifah will no longer exist and Islamic borders will shrink), the bones and the flesh of Abu Huraira would bear testimony to it” (Muslim, Book 41 Hadith 6923)

Because we know that the Hadith mentioning the sanctions placed on Iraq says Sham will have sanctions placed on it, we know Syria is next to be occupied by a foreign power, this usually occurs following the same recipe, a Muslim government come’s into power the super powers don’t like that so they intervene to secularize the entire country, this is simply modern history in the Islamic world.

Hence this hadith in turn connects the war in Syria to the Fitnah of the Saddlebag in Iraq and the Duhaima, September the 11th in America (discussed in detail in the book), because both narrations talk about the sifting of people.

The hadith of the Saddlebag spans a larger time period, beginning in the 90’s and ending with the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him), it also connects the hadith regarding the war in Syria with the Hadith mentioning the Sanction’s on Iraq, Syria and then Egypt because the sanctions on Iraq have already occurred.

These narration’s are all then connected to the Ahadith regarding the different phases of Islamic governance (mentioned in the book) and the era of Dictators ending, because it ended with the Arab spring and the only thing that is next, is a return to Khalifah under the Mahdi (ra).

We know from modern history sanction’s will more than likely be placed on Syria when an Islamic government takes control of Syria, in this way a larger picture emerges from all the narration’s.

This shows us how perfectly and accurately Rasul Allah (saws) described the events of the 90’s up to the time we are living in now. Between the Hadith of the Saddle Bag mentioning the different Fitnahs (trials) and the Hadith mentioning the Sanctions of Iraq, Sham and Egypt we have a timeline with clear events defined on it up to the time of the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him), one Hadith filling in the gaps of the other.

Many other Ahadith fit into this timeline, between the sanctions on Iraq and the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him) and further elaborate on what has occurred and will occur in the future.

A scholar said regarding the phrase in the Hadith, “Underneath my feet is a man from the people of my household who claims that he is my son (or direct descendent) but he is not from me”, In the summer of 1990, at the time the words ALLAHU AKBAR first appeared on the flag of Iraq, Saddam Hussain declared he was a descendent of the Prophet Muhammad, upon him peace, and produced a family chart to prove it. This chart hangs in one of the heavily frequented Shi`i mosques in Iraq, next to the presumed graves of one of Ahl al-Bayt. Saddam also began to address King Hussayn of Jordan, a real 27 generation descendent, as “cousin.”

Rasul Allah (pbuh) indicates who is responsible for the Fitnah of the Saddle Bag and Fitnatul Sarrah, by pointing out a public action of his we would know him clearly by “Underneath my feet is a man from the people of my household who claims that he is my son (or direct descendent) but he is not from me”, no other individual is connected to all the events mentioned in this single Hadith and is responsible for them except Saddam Hussein.

Becouse we can identify the individual in this Hadith as Saddam Hussein we can identify all the other events similarly since they are all in our History, and Identifying the Duhaima, September the 11th was done in this manner, it’s impact on the world literally split the world into two camps;

Abu Hurairah said, “The Prophet said, Woe to the Arabs from the great evil which is nearly approaching them: it will be like patches of dark night. A man will wake up as a believer, and be a kafir (unbeliever) by nightfall. People will sell their religion for a small amount of worldly goods. The one who clings to his religion on that day will be as one who is grasping an ember or thorns.” (Ahmad)

Abu Hurairah (r.a) reported that Rasul Allah (saws) said, “Perform all good deeds before the era of evil dawns, the darkness of which will increase in waves. The effects of these evils will be so grave that a person will be a Mu’min in the morning and a Kaafir at night, or, a Mu’min at night and a Kaafir in the morning. A person will sell his Deen in lieu of a paltry sum.” (Muslim)

The “Patches of a dark night” mentioned in the first Hadith refers to the Duhaimma, mentioned in the fitnah of the Saddlebag narration which similarly mentions “A man will wake up a believer and go to sleep a disbeliever”, the above two Ahadith are then connected by the statements quoted, which is the characteristic of this Fitnah.

The Duhaima is mentioned in an indirect manner in a number of smaller narration’s, so once we know the key phrases the prophet (saws) used to describe it we can collect them under this single event, identifying other things the prophet (saws) said would occur around this time.

For example the prophet (saws) said “There will be a tribulation in which a man will be a believer in the morning and a disbeliever by evening, except the one to whom Allah grants Knowledge”. (Ibn Maaja, Vol1, Book 36, Hadith 3954) by itself this is unidentifiable but we now know that the description and words “a man will be a believer in the morning and a disbeliever by evening” refers to this fitna, so the prophet (saws) gave advice to acquire knowledge in order to protect oneself from it because the world will be so dark at this time people will leave their religion, we saw this with the rise of Atheism and evolution which challenged religion, while many others chose to make money by publicly leaving Islam to promote a book they wrote against it.

Similarly the prophet (saws) said “Before the Hour comes, there will be a tribulation like patches of dark night. A man will get up a believer and go to sleep a kafir, or will go to sleep a believer and get up a kafir. The one who sits will be better than one who stands, and one who walks will be better than one who runs. Break your bows, cut their strings, and strike your swords against stones. If someone comes to kill any of you, then be like the better of the two sons of Adam.” (Abu Dawud.)

From this narration we now know the words of the prophet (saws) “a tribulation like patches of dark night” refers to the Duhaima because he similarly says in it “A man will get up a believer and go to sleep a kafir”, from here we can now use these phrases along with the advice “The one who sits will be better than one who stands, and one who walks will be better than one who runs. Break your bows, cut their strings, and strike your swords against stones. If someone comes to kill any of you, then be like the better of the two sons of Adam” to further identify other narrations which use this phrasing, connecting them all together and drawing a larger picture.

The phrases “The one who sits will be better than one who stands”, “strike your swords” and ” be like the better of the two sons of Adam” is used in many other narration’s that don’t mention the Duhaima by name, but as we research these narration’s that mention two or three events in this way, we can identify many other events mentioned around the fitna of the Duhaima and date them accurately.

An example of this is the narration in which the Prophet (saws) said, “There will be a tribulation in which the one who is sleeping will be better than the one who is lying down, the one who is lying will be better than the one who is sitting, the one who is sitting will be better than the one who is standing, the one who is standing will be better than the one who is walking, the one who is walking will be better than the one who is riding, and the one who is riding will be better than the one who is running; “all of their dead will be in Hell” (meaning those who went out to fight and died are in Hell)….(it is mentioned in full in the book)

The phrase “all of their dead will be in Hell” is mentioned in another set of different narration’s all said to occur at the end of time without specifying the Duhaima or indicating a date or referring to the one who sits or stands, but they speak about a general trial at the end of time.

Once this work is done a large chain of events, one after the other, along a very obvious timeline begins to emerge connecting even more events, allowing us to realise that the prophet (saws), as many companions said, literally spoke about all the major events, one after the other, year after year, leading all the way up to the Hour.

Umar ibn Al-Khattaab (ra) said, “One day the Prophet (saws) stood up amongst us for a long period and informed us about the beginning of creation (and talked about everything in detail) till he mentioned how the people of Paradise will enter their places and the people of Hell will enter their places. Some remembered what he had said, and some forgot it”. (Bukhari)

We have not lost these narration’s, the scholars collected them all in their works, we need to simply identify the events one after the other to realise how much information we have been given by the prophet (saws) and how they fit into what Umar (ra) said.

The following is probably one of the most distinctive narration’s when connecting all the ahadith together because it mention’s three key things all spoken of separately in many other narration’s but here because they are mentioned together in single hadith we can connect them and identify all the narration’s at the same time, otherwise most people would overlook this hadith as just another sign of the hour.

The event in the hadith was identified from the last two phrases; Abdullah bin ‘Amr narrated that the Messenger of Allah (saws) said: “There shall be a Fitnah of extermination of the ‘Arabs. Its fighters are in the Fire. During it, the tongue is stronger then the sword.” (Tirmidhi, Vol. 4, Book 7, Hadith 2178)

The extermination of the arabs is mentioned in detail in many other Ahadith, some we have related at the beginning of this book, it’s finality will be during the time of the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him).

Before the Mahdi emerges 1/3 of the Arabs will have died in wars, 1/3 will have perished from famine, disease etc, and only 1/3 will remain. By the time of al Malhama al Kubra (the Great Battle) Europe will be asking for the genocide of the Arabs openly and by the time of Isa (as) most of the arabs will have died and what remains will mainly all be in Jerusalem, no more than a few hundred thousand if we consider how many can live in that city, all of this is clearly mentioned in narration’s but now we can place this event along a specific timeline.

Since we can identify all these events we now know it’s timing and beginning was during the Duhaima, September the 11th, the clearest event about this matter being the second Invasion and occupation of Iraq, even though Saddam Hussein was cleared of any involvement in the Attack on America and did not have any weapons of Mass destruction America still invaded.

The Prophet (pbuh) said: There will be such troubles and calamities that nobody will have a place to shelter from them. These calamities will travel around Sham (the wars between the 50’s, 70’s and 80’s) and settle over Iraq (in the 90’s, this identified in detail in the book). They will bind the Arabian Peninsula…As they attempt to eliminate these calamities in one (place) they will arise again in another. (Kenzul Ummal, Book of Thoughts on Doomsday, Vol 5, p 38-39)

Troubles and calamities “traveled” around Sham (Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Jordan, involving the neighboring countries) after WW2 ended, they settled over Iraq in the 90’s then flared up Again in Syria in the last decade, “As the strife calms down in one place in Sham, it will rise up in another (place). The strife (in sham) will not end until Angels call out from the sky “The Mahdi is your Leader”, “The Mahdi is your caliph””. (Taken from the works of Harun Yahya in which he cites it from – Mustafa Resit Filizi, Treatise on the Coming of the Mahdi, p 63)

Events of the hour will continue one after another like beads falling from a string follow each other, this is what occurred after the 90’s in Iraq, sanctions were lifting from the country and events were settling down when September the 11th occurred beginning the wars all over again, foreign troops were pulled out of Iraq in the 2000’s when Civil War broke out in Syria, and they will continue in Syria (Sham) until the Mahdi (ra) emerges.

If we consider the hadith of the Saddlebag, how long it’s consequence’s have lasted since 1990, all the events it entailed, the man behind it all that lead to the Duhaima (sep the 11th), which split the world into two camps, it becomes clear who the prophet (saws) was referring to in the following narration and what the calamity was;

“Severe calamity from the direction of their ruler will befall my people during the Last Days. It will be a calamity which, in severity, shall be unprecedented. It will be so violent that the earth with injustice and corruption will shrivel for its inhabitants. The believers will not find refuge from oppression (sep the 11th was the begging of oppression, this is why the whole world is mentioned here). At that time (this is relatively speaking, Islam has been on earth for 1400 years) God will send a man from my family to fill the earth with justice” (Ibn Hajar)

The Mahdi (ra) will come towards the end of the fitnah we are now facing, when it’s ramifications are nearing there end on earth, because of what 9/11 did to the world. splitting it into two camps, it’s effects on earth will only end with the Dajjaal emerging that day or the next, the Mahdi will emerge about 9 years before this time and the Great War (Armageddon) will be fought during this time between the Muslims and Europe.

Before the Mahdi (ra) emerges events will revolve around the tyrant al Sufyani (who the prophet spoke about), he will wage wars but there repercussion’s will be local while the Actions of Saddam Hussein impacted the entire Muslim world, because it was a time in society when breaking your word still had consequences and meaning, we only later become desensitized to these things and their is no more room for that shock and impact, it is common place now.

“the earth (the world) with injustice and corruption will shrivel for its inhabitants”, this is what occurred after sanction’s were placed on Iraq, September the 11th gave America it’s excuse to invade Iraq again to depose Saddam Hussein and begin the campaign of exterminating the Arabs.

The first Iraq war was the initial injustice that lead to all later injustices the Ummah faced like September the 11th and the second invasion of Iraq.

Abdullah ibn Amr related that he heard the Messenger of Allah say, “When you see that my nation dreads saying to the oppressor, ‘Indeed you are an oppressor,’ then they have taken their leave (i.e. their existence and non-existence amounts to the same thing).” (Ahmad)

We know this Hadith refers to Saddam Husain because the Prophet (saws) was referring to His “entire Ummah” at a time when their entire existence and nonexistence will amount to the same thing, they will all be worthless and powerless after this time to stand up to anyone.

This can’t have occurred during the time of the Khalifa’s because tyrants in Islam’s history during the Dynasties were followed by leaders better than them, one Khalifah would follow another, and many existed at the same time some better than others, similarly one Dynasty would follow another and muslims were in control of their own affairs.

But only now after there are no more Khalifahs and we are living in the era of Tyrants, during a time after the wars of the past 100 years that crushed the Islamic spirit, did the Muslims reach a point of hopelessness in what was occurring in the muslim world.

They were powerless to say anything, they literally said nothing, and even accepted their Tyrant leaders actions, “they have taken their leave” from morality and Islam itself, Allahs said about the responsibility he placed on Man “We did indeed offer the Trust to the Heavens and the Earth and the Mountains; but they refused to undertake it, being afraid thereof: but man undertook it; He was indeed unjust and foolish” (33:72).

Hence from all these connections the Hadith mentioning the trial of the Saddle Bag, the Trial of Al Sarrah and the Trial of the Duhaimaa is the most significant of all the Ahadith prior to the advent of the Mahdi (ra) because it describes the Major events which changed the world’ It gave a timeline for events from the time of the 1990 Iraq War, to what we are living right now, then on to the time of the Mahdi (ra) and finally the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him).

All other Ahadith referring to the signs before the Mahdi (ra) fit into the timeline established by this Hadith, closely followed by the Ahadith speaking about the sanctions on the Arab world. This is because when war reaches Egypt that is the beginning of the Major wars, as the prophet (saws) said.

If we look at methodology we have used in an abstract manner for establishing how these Ahadith connect events which have already occurred, we can see the big picture by understating that Rasul Allah (saws) in a narration may mention an event A followed by events B,C then D, and from this the Ullumah (Scholars) can now know that these events will occur in this exact sequence.

Then in another narration the Prophet (saws) may mention in a specific order the same event A then B, but followed by events E and F, skipping C and D, were by we know that E and F have already occurred.

So from this the Ullumah can conclude that events A,B, C and D must have also occurred but we just need to identify them properly since the wording in the Hadith may be vague.

This is the case regarding the Hadith mentioning the Fitnah of the Saddlebag, in this instance the Prophet (saws) Mentions events A, B,C,D, E, F and G along a definite timeline and in other Ahadith He (saws) mentions a different set of events that we know are occurring now and are the exact same events of E and F mentioned, so we know the earlier events in the Hadith of the Saddle Bag must have therefor occurred.

He (saws) also mentions in another set of Ahadith events that we know will occur between D, E, F and since the last event “G” is the arrival of the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him) we can arrange all the Ahadith with certainty along an accurate timeline because of this.

Another method that will help in this task is to look at all the Ahadith the Imams have compiled in their works along their Time line, which Imam Ibn Kathir and Imam Suyuti did, we then will know how many events and narrations are left to occur before the time of the Mahdi (ra), allowing us to identify their chronology and relative time period accurately.

My Intention Insha allah in mentioning this is that scholars or others who may research the matter will Insha Allah come up with more accurate results.

Imam Ali (ra) said “Knowledge leads to Wisdom, the educated man is the wise one, riches diminish by expenditure while knowledge is increased by dissemination.”

He (ra) also said “The sum total of (Human) excellence (Ihsan) is Knowledge.”

Nu’aym Ibn Hammad (ra)

66b64a92e35b7c084cd255382c806701We have quoted from Imam Nu’aym’s “Kitab al Fitan wal Malahem”, The Book of Tribulations and War, through out this work so we considered that providing his biography is much needed, since some modern deviant sects have erroneously slandered his character.

His full name was Abu Abdillah Nu’aym ibn Ḥammad ibn Muawiyah al-Khuza’i al-Marwazi, he studied in Iraq and the Ḥijaz and settled in Egypt. He studied the science of hadith under many Ulamah (scholars) from amongst whom are: Abu Hamzah as-Sukkari, Abu Bakr ibn Ayyash, Ḥafṣ ibn Ghiyath, ibn Uyaynah, al-Faḍl ibn Musa, Abu Dawud al-Tiyalisi, Abdullah ibn Mubarak and others.

From amongst his most famous students are: Muḥammad ibn Ismail al-Bukhari the author of the famous “Sahih al Bukhari”, Yaḥyah ibn Ma’in, Abu Ḥatim ar-Razi, Abu Zur’ah ad-Dimashqi and there are many others.

Imam Nu’aym is considered to be the first person in Islam to have compiled a Musnad, a type of hadith collection were the narations it contains are arranged according to the name of the companion who narrated it, some famous Musnads are the Musnad of Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal and Musnad Abu Dawwud. This act is one of the most significant things in Islam, because the Prophet (saws) said who ever begins a sunnah, starts or invents something new, he will have the reward of it and the reward of every person after him who adopted and benefited from it, this tells us Imam Nu’aym’s status with Allah because he was one of the first compilers of Hadith collections which the entire Muslim Ummah later benefited from and emulated.

The Imam’s aḥadith are narrated in all the six famous books of Aḥadith besides Nasa’i, Imam Bukhari narrates from him in his celebrated al-Jami’ as-Ṣaḥih and Imam Muslim similarly narrates from him via al-Ḥasan al-Ḥalwani in the introduction of his Saḥiḥ Muslim.

What this means is that his character is established and beyond doubt because both Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim narrated from him in their Sahih collection’s, these are the most rigorously authenticated collection’s in Islam, second in authority to only the Quran.

A hadith can only be found in them when all the men in it’s chain of narrators are beyond doubt, both Imam Bukhari and Muslim had the most stringent criteria of verification among all the scholars of Hadith and when a narration is found in both Bukhari and Muslim it is given a grading higher than Sahih and that is “Agreed upon”, it’s authenticity is therefor on par with the Quran becouse there is no doubt that it the prophets words himself (saws).

An example of this grading can be found in Imam Nawawi’s “Riyad al Saliheen” (Gardens of the Righteous), when the Imam Quotes a narration found in both Bukhari and Muslim it is given this grading.

Imam Nu’aym later in his life was imprisoned, in the year 223 Ah or 224 Ah, because of the fitna regarding the question of wether the Quran was created or not, this fitna was spread by the heretical Mutazilah sect, they forced scholars to declare their position on the matter after which they would either kill or imprison them if they held opposing views, hence he passed away in prison. Some scholars have recorded his passing in the year 228 Ah whilst other’s mentioned 229 Ah.

It is then beyond doubt that the Imam holds a very lofty place in the sight of Allah Ta’ala, as the prophet (saws) said “The best Jihad is proclaiming the truth in front of an oppressive ruler”. (Tirmidhi)

Jewish Origins Of The Pashtun and Surrounding Areas

902dc168b8382e8a6fab67dbce5502deThe Mahdi’s army are the black flags that will come from the east, the bible refers to them as the Kings of the east, the prophet (saws) said about them that they are of Jewish decent and called them Bani Isra’il, this description narrows down the identity of Imam Mahdi’s army considerably and explains much. They will establish Imam Mahdi’s government for him like the people of Madina established the way for Rasul Allah (saws), but Imam Mahdi (as) as Ahadith state takes His (as) name “al Mahdi” from what He (as) will do for the Jews of Israel, He (as) will find the Ark of the Covenant and bring out from it the original Torah, debate with them and all of them will convert to Islam except for a few that is why He (as) is called Al Mahdi (the one who guides) because He will guide the Jews to Allah.

While the Jews of the Pashtun are at the beginning of His (as) time the Jews of Israel are at it’s end and they will be the ones to fight Armageddon with him and then go on to take Constantinople without having to fight.

“And after that We said unto the children of Israel: “Dwell securely in the land – but [remember that] when the promise of the Last Day shall come to pass, We will bring you forth as [parts of] a motley crowd!” (17:104) In this verse Allah says to the Jews to dwell in the land of Israel until the hour but when it comes they will find they are of different backgrounds, Jews of Europe, Jews of Asia, Jews of Russia, Jews of Afghanistan where as before they where all Jews of one land.

The Jewish Exile

[This section is primarily the work of another slightly changed to remove vulgar depictions of Allah, my comments are in brackets]

God’s oversees the construction of the temple at Jerusalem, a place wherein his barka would be found and where all his people, even foreigners, could come to seek it and find him in prayer. David becomes king over all Israel, God’s issues the Davidic covenant, the establishing of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital city, and the retrieving of the Ark to remain there—signified the fulfilling of God’s promise to establish the children of Abraham in the land of Canaan and to give them rest from their enemies on every side, it was thus a symbol of his enduring commitment to Israel, to uphold them and bless them as his chosen people (the only people on earth who worshiped him, that is its meaning not some magical definition that can never be known). he future preservation of this temple—and all of its interrelated covenant blessings—is directly dependent upon the nation’s remaining faithful to the law covenant given by God at Sinai by keeping its statutes and walking according to them.

Agonizingly however, the time following Solomon sees several hundred years of spiritual decay for God’s people Israel as they turn toward the worship of false gods. From the least to the greatest, with each generation the nation progressively turns away from faith and forsakes their Lord and his covenant. Graciously, God sends his Prophets to the people and the kings to warn them to repent and turn their hearts back to Him, but they will not listen. Finally, he then declares by Jeremiah that king Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon will overtake Jerusalem and the Jews will be carried off into exile for 70 years as punishment for their sin (Jer 25:1-14).

(It is from this event that Jewish tribes are exiled into Afghanistan where they remain so until the coming of the Prophet Muhammad (saws), at which point they accept Islam at the hands of Khalid Ibn Walid (ra) and go on to become the Pashtun of Afghanistan and later Imam Mahdi’s (as) army who will establish His (as) rule for Him (as) in Jerusalem because that land was promised to the descendants of Abraham (as) to which they have a right to by lineage).

The Babylonian king first attacks Jerusalem in 597 BC and cannot overtake it, but he brings back with him a large group of exiles among whom is the prophet Ezekiel. On the banks of the Chebar River in Babylon, God shows Ezekiel Israel’s detestable sins of idolatry by bringing him to Jerusalem in a vision. He then shows him a terrible slaughter that is to come upon all the people except for a faithful remnant who are weeping and lamenting Israel’s sin (Ezek 8:1-9:11). Following this, he is shown a vision of a great mobile throne chariot with massive cherubim-driven wheels. Then, Ezekiel sees the glory of Allah leave the temple and reside over the mobile throne chariot which then departs from the city and comes to rest on a mountain to the east (Ezek 10:1-22; 11:22-23). This imagery of God leaving the city, together with his pronouncement of the wickedness of Israel’s leadership (Ezek 11:1-13), is a clear representation that he is standing in judgment over the nation and now regards her as a condemned enemy, cut off from his sight (cf. 1 Kgs 9:6-9).

Finally, in fulfillment of Jeremiah’s prophecy, Nebuchadnezzar returns in 586 BC and completely annihilates the city, knocking down its walls and destroying the temple (2 Kgs 25:1-21; Jer 39:1-10). The scene is unthinkable. Whereas Jerusalem and its temple were enduring symbols to the watching world of God’s commitment to Israel, their destruction signifies that God has rejected the nation and is showing himself faithful according to his word by bringing to pass the covenantal curses that he had sworn should Israel forsake him (Deut 27:15-26; 28:15 ff.; 1 Kgs 9:4-9).

“How can it still be said God has a people [cf. Ezek 11:20] apart from Jerusalem and its Davidic king and temple, that is, apart from Israel whom he has rejected and relegated to the same status as the Gentiles?” This is an important question for us to ask along with the exiled Jews, but we must await its ultimate answer until the coming forth of Jesus Christ.

Following these words of comfort, God begins to speak great words of hope to the exiled Jews through Ezekiel. He promises them that he is about to act on their behalf to vindicate his holy Name which they have profaned (Ezek 36:22-23). He announces that he will do so by restoring them to the land of Canaan, cleansing the land and the people of their defilement, and by giving them a new heart and putting his Spirit in them that they might no longer depart from him, but live out his statutes in faith and be his people forever (Ezek 11:17-20; 36:24-28). To this end, God will establish with them a new covenant of peace by which they shall be delivered from all their oppressors, the ruined and desolate cities of Israel will be rebuilt, and the land will flourish and thrive with abundant harvests as never before (Ezek 34:25-31; 36:33-35). What is more, this glorious work of restoration will take place before the watching nations such that they will all know the Name of Allah (Ezek 36:36).

(This has not occurred yet and is most likely a prophecy about Imam Mahdi (as) who will do this in Jerusalem while the entire world is watching Him (as) revive Islam, He will rebuild that land as the Capital of His Khalifah.  This prophecy is about Him (as) because His (as) army and people are the Jews and the people of Israel at that time will accept Him (as) after He (as) brings out the Ark of the covenant to show them what the real Torah says, Allah will fulfill what He promised to the Jews just not as they think because He exiled them and dispersed them so that they lost their lineage and connection back to the original covenant. “And after that We said unto the children of Israel: “Dwell securely in the land – but [remember that] when the promise of the Last Day shall come to pass, We will bring you forth as [parts of] a motley crowd! (People belonging to different ethnicities)” (17:104)).

Concerning the fate of the ruined temple at Jerusalem, Ezekiel receives yet another vision, this time of a newly restored Jerusalem and temple that far exceeds the glory of anything prior and to which the nations flood to worship (Ezek 40:1-48:35) (this is a prophecy about a future time). The awesome splendor and elegant beauty of this future city is elaborately described by Ezekiel across nine chapters, but we may comprehend it more simply and succinctly merely by the name by which it will be known: “Allah Is There” (Ezek 48:35). Indeed, the glory of God will come forth and fill this newly created temple and His baraka will be there in the city with his people (Ezek 43:4-7).

With these incredible promises in hand, the exiled Jews are returned to the land after 70 years—just as the Lord had promised—whereupon they proceed with great anticipation to begin to rebuild Jerusalem, construct a new temple, and initiate a time of national teaching, prayer, and repentance. However, it becomes quickly apparent to all that the state of things in Israel following the exile falls impossibly short of the restoration promises given by the Prophets such that there is great mourning amongst the people and a general sense that their repentance had fallen short of what God required. Where they had expected abundance, they had lack; a regained national sovereignty, vassal servitude; a renewed spirituality, continued sin and radio silence from God as new prophets stopped coming forth.

(Allah tried doing exactly this when He sent them Isa Ibn Maryam (as), one of His most spiritual prophets and equipped Him (as) with everything needed to give the Jews a new heart, but because the Jews of that time and region where so engrossed in materialism they did not want to change their way of life and challenged that He (as) was even a prophet, they lost their way so much they forgot what the Ihsan and light of prophets looked like, which was their proof).

Concerning the rebuilt temple, when compared to what existed prior, it is so meager that the elderly in Israel who had seen the first temple cannot help but weep at the sight of it (Ez 3:12-13) (Allah’s promise yet to be fulfilled).

Abu Musa (ra) said, the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) said: “The example of Muslims, Jews and Christians is like the example of a man who employed labourers to work for him from morning till night for specific wages. They worked till midday and then said, ‘We do not need your money which you have fixed for us and let whatever we have done be annulled.’ The man said to them, ‘Don’t quit the work, but complete the rest of it and take your full wages.’ But they refused and went away. The man employed another batch after them and said to them, ‘Complete the rest of the day and yours will be the wages I had fixed for the first batch.’ So, they worked till the time of `Asr prayer. Then they said, “Let what we have done be annulled and keep the wages you have promised us for yourself.’ The man said to them, ‘Complete the rest of the work, as only a little of the day remains,’ but they refused. Thereafter he employed another batch to work for the rest of the day and they worked for the rest of the day till the sunset, and they received the wages of the two former batches. So, that was the example of those people (Muslims) and the example of this light (guidance) which they have accepted willingly.” (Bukhari)

The Black Flags

Al Zuhari said ” The black flags will come from the East, led by mighty men, with long hair and beards, their last names are taken from the names of their home towns and their first names are from a Kunya (nick name, usually starts with ‘Abu’, which means ‘father of”).” (Nuaim bin Hammad’s Kitab Al-Fitan)

We can say with certainty that the Mahdi’s army are the people of Afghanistan, the Pashtun who are of Jewish decent having converted to Islam just after the prophet’s (saws) death. “led by mighty men” when Russia was still the USSR at the height of it’s power they invaded Afghanistan the Pashtun fought them for nine years denying the worlds second most powerful superpower victory, the prophet (saws) also said once they march with the black flags they will keep on coming, they won’t stop their Jihad for Islam generation after generation until the end.

Many Historical sources exist for about their origin in old manuscripts; here is one Quote that is comprehensive in its account.

In his Travels into Bokhara, which he published in 1835, Sir Alexander Burnes wrote: “The Afghans call themselves Bani Israel, or the children of Israel, but consider the term Yahoodi, or Jew, to be one of reproach. They say that Nebuchadnezzar, after the overthrow of Israel, transplanted them into the towns of Ghore near Bamean and that they were called after their Chief Afghan, they say that they lived as Israelites till Khalid (Ibn Walid) summoned them in the first century of the Muhammadans. Having precisely stated the traditions and history of the Afghans I see no good reason for discrediting them… the Afghans look like Jews and the younger brother marries the widow of the elder. The Afghans entertain strong prejudices against the Jewish nation, which would at least show that they have no desire to claim – without just cause – a descent from them. (Sir Alexander Burnes, Travels into Bokhara, Vol. 2:139-141.)

Regarding The Mahdi’s Appearance Being like the Bani Israil and His Wearing a Qutwani Cloak

There is a Hadith in Sahih Muslim which says “Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) said: You have heard about a city the one side of which is in the land and the other is in the sea (Constantinople). They said: Allall’s Messenger, yes. Thereupon he said: The Last Hour would not come unless seventy thousand (70,000) persons from Bani lsra’il (Jews) would attack it (referring to the army of the Mahdi). (Sahih Muslim: Book 41, Hadith 6979)

Bani Israil is a term referring to the origins or lineage of a people.

The Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon him) said that ”When you hear the news of Black Flags coming from the East, then, you must join them even if you have to crawl over ice (to reach them).(Trimdhi)

On the authority of Thawban, the Messenger of Allah (upon him be peace and blessings) said: “Before your treasure, three will kill each other (over it), all of them are the sons of a different Khaliph (ruller) but none will be the recipient. Then the black Banners will appear from the East and they will Kill you in a way that has never been done by a nation.” Thawban said: ‘Then he said something that I do not remember by heart’ then continued to say that the prophet (praise and peace be upon him) said: “ If you see him give him your allegiance, even if you have to crawl over ice, because surely he is the Khalif of Allah, the Mahdi.

If you see the black flags coming from Khurasan, join that army, even if you have to crawl over ice, for this is the army of the Caliph, the Mahdi and no one can stop that army until it reaches Jerusalem.” (It’s isnad is Sahih according to Al-Hakim who narrates it in Mustadrak al Hakim).

An Afghan brother wrote regarding this Issue: In the Encyclopaedia Britannica 1997 it says, Qutwani cloaks resemble the Israili “Tallit” of present day. Both Qutwani cloak and Tallit have fringes on their borders (similar to how it is seen in Native American dress) and it’s mostly made of Wool. It generally falls across the head, neck, and shoulders. However the Qutwani cloak is larger and a more conspicuous prayer shawl than the Tallit. The Qutwani cloak is exactly like the cloaks worn by the Pashtoons of Afghanistan and Pakistan and it is also worn in the same way like the Qutwani cloak described in the hadith. The Pashtuns wrap these cloaks around them to protect them from the cold weather. In fact these cloaks are often the necessary part of Pashtun dress.

In Contrast to present day Jews who wear the Tallit as a symbol and are much smaller, so it can’t be wrapped around the body.

If Imam Mahdi’s army is from Khorasan and that region it should not be hard to understand why Rasul Allah (blessing and peace be upon him) said he will resemble the Bani Israil, as he will choose to dress like his followers. Rasul Allah (blessing and peace be upon him) for example used to wear a Yemeni cloak even though he wasn’t from Yemen.

“He (Imam Mahdi) would be wearing two Qutwani Cloaks. He will appear exactly as a person from Bani Israeel. He will rule for 20 years and will conquer the cities of the Mushrikeen (Idolaters)  (Ref: Kanz-ul-Aamal, Page 268,  Hadith No 3868).

The blessed Mahdi’s stature and posture resemble those of the People of Israel. (Reference:Al-Qawl Al-Mukhtasar Fi alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, pp. 36-29.)

He will resemble one of the Israelites [in his external appearance]. (Reference: Al-Uqayli, An-Najmu’s-saqib fi Bayan Anna’l Mahdi min Awladi Ali b. Abu Talib Ale’t-Tamam ve’l Qamal).

It is as if he is a man from the people of Israel.  (Reference: Nuaym ibn Hammad, vr. 52a; Mar’i ibn Yusuf al-Maqdisi).

Many Ulluma say the 20 years mentioned in the above hadith refer to Different Era’s in the mahdi’s life (prior to his public emergence), the 7 to 9 years mentioned in other hadith will be in the final part of his life, meaning when Allah shows he is the Mahdi. It may also be that the narrators made a mistake in transmitting the Ahadith.

Other Ahadith Regarding The Army Of The Mahdi and The Origins Of The Pashtuns

The Sufyani (A person from the Quraish tribe) will appear in the Arabian Peninsula and will be the enemy of Imam Mahdi, the tribe of Kash (in Arabic spelled Qais) will fight against the Sufyani as told in the following Hadith Narrated by Abu Huraira (R.A)

The Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) said: That a person called Sufyani will appear from the suburbs of Damascus and his general followers will be the people of the Kulaib Tribe. He will attack (so fiercely) that he will cut the bellies of Women and kill children. To fight against him, the people of the Tribe of Qais will gather. Sufyani will fight them and kill them so much that no valley will be left without their dead bodies. (Reference: Mustadrik P520)

The word Qais or Kash is the name of numerous personalities of the Bani Israil an example is Saul son of Kish; Kash is known as the forefather of the Pashtuns because he is the first one to embrace Islam,when he became Muslim he was then known as Abdur Rashid. Kash or Kish are the same word, the Arabs pronounce it Qais, hence Bani Qais is used in Ahadith.

In Pakistan and Afghanistan we find many places where Pashtuns live by the name of Kish/Kash such as:

– Dasht-e-Kash: a desert in southern Afghanistan.
– The city of Kish Khenjak in Afghanistan in Velayat-e Oruzgan .
– The Sulaiman Mountain range is also know by Pashtuns as the Kash Ghar, The Mountain of Kash or Qais.

An Example of One scholar tracing his Afghan ancestry: Hadhrat Mohammed Maseehullah Khan, hails from the renowned and distinguished Sherwaani family of Pathans. Although the Sherwaani clan is famed as Pathan, it in reality is Sayyid (descendant from the prophet Muhammad) in its origin, for its ancestral progenitor was Sayyid Husain Ghauri R.A. who migrated from Ghaur during the reign of Khalif Abdul Maalik Bin Marwaan (d. 65 A.H.) and settled in the region neighboring ‘Koohe Sulaimaan.’ (The Sulaiman Mountains) Sayyid Husain Ghauri R.A. settled among the Pathans and married the daughter of Batan Bin Qais Abdur Rashid. She bore him two sons, Lodi and Serwaani. The descendants of Serwaani became known as Sherwaani. It is then to this family of Sayyids that Hadhrat Maseehullah Khan Saheb belongs.

The people of this region are the descendants of Ibrahim, Allah promised to his entire family, both Arabs and Jews, the lands of Canaan, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Palestine, he will once again fulfill this promise when these Muslim Jews inherit this land.

The Prophet (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) said: A man called al-Harith ibn Harrath will come forth from Ma Wara an-Nahr (roughly present day Afghanistan). His army will be led by a man called Mansur who will establish or consolidate things for Muhammad’s family as Quraysh consolidated them for the Messenger of Allah (saws). Every believer must help him, or he said: respond to his sermons. (Aid him) (Sunan Abu Dawud Book 38, Hadith 13)

“A people will come out of the East who will pave the way for the Mahdi.” (Ibn Majah.)

What Is the Unseen World and Where Is It: Explaining The Technical Terminology Of The Scholars

Tomb of Bilal (q)

Regarding the term “Unification of Allah” or “Union with Allah” found in the translations of works on Tasawwuf, Sufism:

“Among the disservices done to Islam by some Western scholars is their tireless insistence that the Sufi term wusul (“to arrive, to reach”) be translated as if it meant ittihad (“to unify”) with the result that their translations of Sufi works are filled with talk of “union with God,” a rendering that has come to be traditional and authoritative among them, while it is a fallacious conception that the masters of Tasawwuf (sufism) from every age (in history) have taken pains to dissociate themselves, their method, and their students from. So it is perhaps fitting to mention two of the aphorisms of the great Shadhili master Ibn ‘Ata’ Illah, who said: Your reaching Allah is reaching the knowledge of Him, for other than that, Our Lord is too exalted for anything to be joined with Him or for Him to be joined with anything; and He also said, The affirmation of electhood (being selected) does not necessitate a negation of the fact of being human. Election is merely like the rise of the daylight’s sun: it appears on the horizon without being part of it. Sometimes He takes it from you and returns you to your own bounds. For daylight is not from you to yourself, but rather it comes over you. (al-Hikam al- ‘Ata ‘iyya wa al-munajat al-ilahiyya (9.24), 59, 66, aphorisms 23 and 249)”

The Reason why such expressions, that seem ambiguous and baffling to the laymen and translator, are used by classical scholars in their specialized works is because Allah himself speaks in such a manner in the Quran. Allah uses descriptive imagery to convey ideas that have great depths, so the scholars have done the same, these works are considered technical works requiring a technical vocabulary, in this manner they are imitating what the prophet said about the Quran;

The Prophet (saws) who was given the revelation of the Quran said “I have been sent with ‘Jawami-al-Kalim’ (the shortest expression having the widest meaning) and have been made victorious with awe, and while I was sleeping, I saw that the keys of the treasures of the world were placed in my hand.” Abu Huraira added: Allah’s Apostle has gone, and you people are utilizing those treasures, or digging those treasures out.’(Bukhari)

The Prophet Muhammad (saws) said, Jawami’-al-Kalim means that Allah expresses in one or two statements or thereabouts the numerous matters that used to be written in the books revealed before (the coming of) the Prophet.

This means the shortest expression containing the widest amount of knowledge, therefor to convey something using descriptive imagery, to speak of it how it is seen and experienced in peoples lives is Jawami-al-Kalim.

That treasure is the knowledge contained in these expressions we find in the Quran and Sunnah. The reason why expressions which are wrongly translated as “unification with Allah” are used, but rather mean “the Knowledge of Allah” is because the scholars understand how the human conscious perceives the world and gains knowledge, man gains knowledge from all his senses what is wrongly termed unification is rather inner realization of Allah’s “Hand” (or actions) in the moment they are experiencing (“seeing Allah”), so a person gains certainty that what they witnessed is the will of Allah acting in the world (as events are unfolding).

The prophet (saws) himself used a similar expression in the Hadith of Jibril to describe what Ihsan (Human perfection) means.

When Jibril visited the prophet (saws) and the companions (r.a) in the form of a man he sat with them and asked the Prophet (saws) four questions, What is Islam? What is Iman? What is Ihsan? and When is the Hour?

When the prophet (saws) was asked about Ihsan He (saws) said; Ihsan (Human perfection) is “That you worship Allah as if you see Him, for if you don’t see Him then truly He sees you.”

When Jibril (as) went away, the prophet (saws) asked, ‘Umar, do you know who the questioner was?’ Umar said, ‘Allah and His Messenger know best.’ He said, ‘He was Jibril who came to you to teach you your deen.” (Muslim and Bukhari narrated the hadith and it has a grade Higher than Sahih and that is “Agreed Upon”).

All this relates to knowledge man gains from the unseen world (the quantum world), between our human sight of the physical world and our sight of the inner Unseen world is a Barzakh (barrier or veil) over our perception stoping us from seeing that world of Angels and Jinn and everything else Allah created in it completely; “Behind them lies the intervening (Barzakh) barrier (stretching) to the day of their resurrection” (23:99-100) meaning this veil is only temporary in this Universe and man who was created in Jannah (heaven), naturally has the capacity to see the unseen world if that barrier wasn’t present.

The prophet (saws) said this Barzakh (veil or barrier), which stops us from seeing that world, which exists around us, can be removed when we do certain things. The Prophet (saws) said: “If your hearts were always in the state that they are in during dhikr (a time when the heart is receiving light from Allah), the Angels would come to see you to the point that they would greet you in the middle of the road.” (Muslim).

In other words if we where always receiving light from Allah we could see through the Barzakh (veil), and see the Angels to such an extent they would greet us in the middle of the road, meaning this is how much we would become accustomed to them in our life.

Imam Nawawi in his Sharh Sahih Muslim commented on this hadith saying: “This kind of sight is shown to someone who persists in meditation (muraqaba), reflection (fikr), and anticipation (iqbal) of the next world.”

To “worship Allah as if you see Him” isn’t figurative speech, it is literal, and to explain the manner of this in as a succinct a way as possible and with out using Jawami al Kalim like “Reaching Allah” (or ignorantly “Union with Allah”); many of Islam’s greatest Ullumah, such as Imam al Ghazali, Ibn Arabi, Shaykh Abdul Qadir al Gilani (and others to numerous to name), said that the unseen world which the Jinn and Angels exist in is the world our imagination (our minds eye) looks into when we imagine something, the quantum universe, but their is a barzakh (barrier) between us and that world preventing us from seeing that world completely.

This barzakh (barrier or veil) has been removed for the Prophets and Awliya so they can see the Jinn and Angels, the veil itself isn’t just one veil it is made up of layers of veils and each of these veil’s is removed as man gains insight and increases in Human Perfection (Ihsan). This continues until he attains Ihsan completely and can “worship Allah as if he sees him”.

As if he sees him here means sees the signs of Allah in creation and acts upon them like saydinah Khidr did when he taught Musa (as), which Allah mentioned in surah al Kahf (18), with the example of the boy the ship and the wall, each time al Khidr (ra) received knowledge regarding these matters from the Unseen world and Musa (as) who was accustomed to receiving out right revelations could not perceive how al Khidr knew, he was reading the Signs Musa had not yet learned how to read, Allah was rather sending Angels to speak to Musa (as) directly.

The Prophet said: “Ittaqu firasat al-mu’min fa innahu yara bi nurillah”, “Beware the vision of the believer, for he sees with the light of Allah,” then he recited the verse: “Therein lie portents for those who read the signs” (al-mutawassimin) (15:75) (Tirmidhi)

Allah also said;

“Those who strive hard in Us, We shall most surely guide them in our Ways” (29:69)

“In everything He (Allah) has a sign which declares that He is One.”

Allah states this entire matter very clearly in the Quran, Allah will say on the day of judgment to people: “We have stripped from thee the Veil that covered thee and thy (inner) vision, this day is iron” (50:22)

“Behind them lies the intervening (Barzakh) barrier (stretching) to the day of their resurrection” (23:99-100).

It’s interesting that Allah says the barazh stretches to the day of judgment and not across space, this reference to time rather than location has significance in physics, relating to relativity, time (time dilation), the nature of the barrier (Barzakh) or field between the seen and unseen quantum world, and the nature of how Angels exist in that world.

“Some faces that Day shall be Nadirah (shining and radiant), looking at their Lord” (75:22-23)

“And thus We gave Abraham

[his first] insight into [Allah’s] mighty dominion over the heavens and the earth – and [this] to the end that he might become one of those who are inwardly sure”. (6:75)

The Sight of Allah’s dominion is with mans inner perception, Allah removes the Barzakh (veil) over mans perception and he then sees the unseen world that others can not.

“Means of insight have now come unto you from your Sustainer [through this Quran]. Whoever, therefore, chooses to see, does so for his own good; and whoever chooses to remain blind, does so to his own hurt. And [say unto the blind of heart]: “I am not your keeper.”(6:104)

The Quran is a means to guide man to this insight Allah gave the prophets, those who achieve Ihsan (Human perfection) Allah removes the Barzakh for them like he did for the prophets (saws), a persons depth of perception into that world is according to his capacity and the perfection of his inner sight.

Imam al Ghazali said perfection of our inner sight can not be achieved until after death, “this day is iron” means we will have certainty with that vision.

“In matters of faith, He has ordained for you that which He had enjoined upon Noah – and into which We gave thee [O Muhammad] insight through revelation -as well as that which We had enjoined upon Abraham, and Moses, and Jesus: Steadfastly uphold the [true] faith, and do not break up your unity therein. [And even though] that [unity of faith] to which thou callest them appears oppressive to those who are wont to ascribe to other beings or forces (the Jinn and Shayateen) a share in His divinity, Allah draws unto Himself everyone who is willing, and guides unto Himself everyone who turns unto Him”. (42:12-15)

“which We have revealed unto thee”, implying that it was only through revelation that the Prophet Muhammad came to know “that which God had enjoined upon Noah”. The Prophet gained knowledge through his perception of the unseen world and the revelations Allah gave him from that unseen world.

“This [revelation, then] is a means of insight for mankind, and a guidance and grace unto people who are endowed with inner certainty”.(45:20) it is because man sees with his minds eye that Allah is speaking about inner certainty, more accurately it is mans heart that sees the unseen world as Allah mentions in the Quran literally, but sight is naturally located with the eyes.

When Allah punishes people he deprives them of the insight and guidance that they normally receive from their hearts and He leaves them to go astray accumulating more sins for which their punishment in the end will be more severe, this then is the opposite of receiving insight.

“HAST THOU ever considered [the kind of man] who makes his own desires his deity, and whom Allah has [thereupon] let go astray, knowing [that his mind is closed to all guidance], and whose hearing and heart He has sealed (the hearts perceptive faculty is stopped), and upon whose sight He has placed a veil? (his inner senses) Who,then, could guide him after Allah [has abandoned him]? Will you not, then, bethink yourselves?” (45:23-25)

“For he (the prophet Lot) had truly warned them of Our punishing might; but they stubbornly cast doubt on these warnings, and even demanded that he give up his guests [to them]: whereupon We deprived them of their sight [and thus told them, as it were]: “Taste,then,the suffering which I inflict when My warnings are disregarded!” (54:36-37)

Imam al Ghazali said regarding the verse “We have stripped from thee the Veil that covered thee and thy (inner) vision, this day is iron” (50:22); In that hour (it) shall be said unto (man), “We have stripped from thee the Veil that covered thee and thy (inner) vision, this day is iron” (50:22). Now that covering Veil (on the inner eye) is that of the imagination and fantasy (He “who makes his own desires his deity”, the punishment for this is, “upon whose sight He has placed a veil?”); and therefore the man who has been deluded (blinded in his inner sight) by his own fancies, his false beliefs, and his vain imaginations replies (on that day): “Our Lord! We have seen Thee and heard Thee! O send us back and we will do good. Verily now we have certainty in knowledge!”..

If we understand the physical world and the unseen world are the same Universe and that human consciousness or our imagination is a state of matter,  it is created from matter, and made from the small quantum particles (subatomic particles) that exist in the universe like light, It becomes easier to realize that our minds inner sight (imagination) is looking into the quantum unseen world.

If we imagine a brick wall in our mind, we are literally moving and arranging these quantum particles to form that image in our mind, that image of the brick wall is real and made from real substances.

From here we can understand how literal statements like “worshipping Allah as if you see him” are.

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said: ‘The angels are created from light (the scholars said it is the same light we see in our mind that shapes the images of our imagination), just as the Jinn are created from smokeless fire (a fire that isn’t fueled by wood burning) and mankind is created from what you have been told about.’ (Muslim))

The Angels are created from the same light we see in our mind so it isn’t to difficult to see how they are charged with being inspiration for mans guidance and the bearers of Allah’s revelation, which the prophets received through their inner perceptive faculties. It also shouldn’t be to difficult to see how the Jinn, who are being tested on earth like mankind can similarly be a source of inspiration for Good or Evil and they influence man through his perceptive faculties whispering to him what they want him to do.

Throughout the body is the nervous system, it is literally the bodies electrical wiring and it is connected to the brain, heart and every other organ in the body, it is this quantum aspect of mans physiology that beings made from quantum particles such as Angels and Jinn can interact with man through, this reality everyone on earth is subject to through out his life just like the Laws of physics.

Our inner perceptive faculty that sees the unseen world is the heart, It was reported from Jabir ibn Abdullah that some angels came to the Prophet while he was sleeping. Some of them said, ”He is sleeping.” Others said, ”His eyes are sleeping but his heart is awake.” Then they said, ”There is an example for this companion of yours.” One of them said, ”Then set forth an example for him.” Some of them said, ”He is sleeping.” The others said, ”His eyes are sleeping but his heart is awake.” Then they said, ”His example is that of a man who has built a house and then offered therein a banquet and sent an inviter (messenger) to invite the people. So whoever accepted the invitation of the inviter, entered the house and ate of the banquet, and whoever did not accept the invitation of the inviter, did not enter the house, nor did he eat of the banquet.” Then the angels said, ”Interpret this example to him so that he may understand it.” Some of them said, ”He is sleeping.” The others said, ”His eyes are sleeping but his heart is awake.” And then they said, ”The house stands for Paradise and the call maker is Muhammad; and whoever obeys Muhammad, obeys Allah; and whoever disobeys Muhammad, disobeys Allah. Muhammad separated the people (i.e., through his message, the good is distinguished from the bad, and the believers from the disbelievers).”.”(Bukhari)

“Know that Allah comes between a man and his heart”(8:24)

Revelation was sent down to the heart of the prophet (saws) to perceive, “Which the True Spirit hath brought down, Upon thy heart, that thou mayst be (one) of the warners” (26:193-194)

The heart is our normal perceptive faculty present in all mankind, which Allah guides us through or punishes through, “We have revealed to you as We revealed to Nuh and the Prophets who came after him.” (4:162), we follow the emotions we feel there and they are according to how we sense matters, a study of the hearts nervous system and the neurons present there will show it is a mini brain, built to sense and remember emotions, the hearts role and importance above the brain can be gaged by the fact that in the fetus the heart develops long before the brain does to regulate the body.

Imam Suyuti said “Whomever Allah desires to guide, He expands his breast to Islam, by casting into his heart a light which it [the heart] expands for and accepts, as reported in a hadith; and whomever He, Allah, desires to send astray, He makes his breast narrow”. (6:125, Tafsir al Jalalayn) the heart produces the largest electromagnetic field in the body, in literal terms it produces a field of light that can be measured by scientist, this electromagnetic field is produced my almost all living creatures and it is how they sense the world around them. When two waves touch, as physics states, they can become coherent, or synchronies with each other, and a transfer of information occurs between them without hindrance, non coherent waves, that haven’t synchronized, transfer information less clearly.

“And whosoever believeth in Allah, He guideth his heart. And Allah is knower of all things.” (64:11)

“And obey not him whose heart we have made heedless of Our Remembrance, who followeth his own lust.” (18:28)

The heart is the faculty that receives information through our senses, Lust muddles the senses so the person can not perceive clearly through his faculties.

It was once said: O Sayyid! A gnostic of high degree used to say, ‘Being a dervish (an ascetic) is to correct the imagination.’ In other words, nothing other than the Real (Haq) should remain in the heart (Otherwise the imagination will only see the lies and false beliefs the evil heart contains). In truth, he spoke well. O Sayyid! Since the veil is nothing but imagination, the veil must be lifted through imagination. Night and day you must dwell in imagining Oneness (Tawhid). (Shaykh Baqi’s son, Khwaja Khurd)

Tawhid of the heart here means un-attaching the heart from this world, not having any feelings or emotions towards anything in it and only remembering Allah. This lesson Allah has been teaching mankind from the earliest of revelations He sent to man, Allah said “But those will prosper who purify themselves (their inner selfs). And glorify the name of their Lord in prayer. No, you prefer the life of this world; But the hereafter is better and more enduring (here Allah is encouraging people to renounce the world). And this is in the books of the earliest revelations. The books of Abraham and Moses. (Surah al Alla 87:14-19)

What is meant by “this day is iron, ” (50:22) is that what was veiling our inner sight, the veil (Barzakh) on our imagination, will be lifted on this day (Qiyamah) and our inner eye (Imagination), will from now on be focused and see straight, permanently seeing the unseen world and everything Allah created in it like Heaven, Hell, the Angels and Jinn, “Some faces that Day shall be Nadirah (shining and radiant), looking at their Lord” (75:22-23).

So what man once thought was imagination, illusion and unreal he will see with his inner eye clearly in front of him and it will be tangible and real to his vision like this world is, it will be solid to his eye as Iron (Hadid). The unseen world, like the Angels, is made from subatomic particles, the particles are smaller than atoms all linked together to create something bigger, like invisible light it to is invisible to us, but we will be able to see when Allah lifts the barzakh from our imagination and our lower self won’t be present to muddy the picture in our mind creating delusions in us, we will only see what is actually there.

With this understanding of what the unseen world is, Allah described the entire day of judgment with the simple phrase, “this day is iron”, this is “Jawami al Kalim” of everything we have mentioned so far, but Allah in His perfect speech was able to describe it with 3 simple words in arabic.

Allah in Arabic literally uses the word “Hadid” (iron), and this is the descriptive imagery He employs to describe in short sentences what would take pages to teach, which is why the works of the scholars are considered technical works and not easy to understand, they employ much descriptive imagery that requires study in others fields of knowledge (prerequisite knowledge) to know the proper context of it, there is no such thing as actual “Union with god”, translators added this from their preconceived ideas they learnt from elsewhere, outside of islam and hence it is entirely false, most translators in fact are not qualified to translate these works it is like asking a physicist to translate a chemistry textbook.

“Union” is simply a reference to mans perception being directed to what Allah wants it to see at that moment He is acting in creation, in other words seeing His signs as he mentions in the Quran many times. The person witnesses Allah’s “hand” in creation and is one of those people “who worships Allah as if he sees Him” because he is following what Allah is showing him, this is the meaning behind the story of Khidr in the Quran who was following what Allah was showing him at each moment.

This entire matter is summed up in a famous hadith Qudsi where Allah literally says when He loves a person he takes control of all his perceptive faculties and guides them to perceive Him in life; The Messenger of Allah (saws) said that Allah (mighty and sublime be He) said: “Whosoever shows enmity to someone devoted to Me, I shall be at war with him. My servant draws not near to Me with anything more loved by Me than the religious duties I have enjoined upon him, and My servant continues to draw near to Me with supererogatory (extra) works so that I shall love him. When I love him I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask [something] of Me, I would surely give it to him, and were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant him it. I do not hesitate about anything as much as I hesitate about [seizing] the soul of My faithful servant: he hates death and I hate hurting him.” (Bukhari).

After Allah lifts the veil from all of mankind’s sight on the day of Judgment He says about man in the Quran (50:23), “His companion (the Angel which accompanied man through out his life and was right next him) will say: “Here is (your record) ready with me”.

The first thing man will see when the veil from his inner sight is removed is his recording Angel who he was blind to his entire life, yet the prophets (saws) could see them.

The words of the prophet (saws) “That you worship Allah as if you see Him” is a short expression of the reality of Ihsan when it is experienced and achieved, the Prophet (saws) spoke from his own experience with Ihsan to answer Jibril and teach us. When someone begins to practice perfecting his inner self, slowly as he draws closer to Allah, Allah will lift one veil blinding his inner perception after another until his inner sight becomes sharper and he gains more insight and wisdom.

When he reaches Ihsan (Human Perfection) he would be worshiping Allah as if he sees him, the closer he draws nearer to Allah the better he will be able to read and see Allah’s signs in creation.

“We detail Our signs for people who know” (6:97), “On the earth are Signs for those with certainty in Faith”(51:20), “That is, [signs] for the arifun (Awliya, those who have experience with Allah) by which they find evidence for their ma’rifa (gnosis)”(51:20, Tafsir al Tustari). The word “sign” (ayat) appears more than 351 times in the Qur’an instructing people to read the various kinds of signs that Allah has created for us.

The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said: “We, the Community of Prophets, are the people most severely tried, then others according to the perfection of their faith.”

The Prophet (saws) said, “Many amongst men attained perfection but amongst women none attained perfection except Maryam (Mary), the daughter of ‘Imran, and Asiya, the wife of Fir’aun (Pharaoh). And the superiority of Aishah (the prophet’s wife) to other women is like the superiority of Tharid (an Arabic dish) to other meals.” (Bukhari).

“Ina lilah wa ina ilayhi rajioon”.

Human Physiology and It’s Relationship To Baraka

Tomb of Salahudeen Ayoubi

Allah in the Quran explains in many verses how the Universe was created, and in many other verses, in vivid detail, explains how the Universe will be destroyed, and how we will be resurrected when He creates another Universe after this one.

Through the Quran and many Ahadith Allah and his prophet (saws) give a complete picture of not only life, but the larger world around us and the forces in it that impact on us, not simply the quantum forces but, unseen forces like the Jinn or the guidance and help of the Angels.

This picture was made very clear to people living 1400 years ago in a language they could understand, in fact the period before Islam came to be labeled as the Jahaliyah, the days of ignorance by comparison. The scientific language we know today we invented our self as we placed our own labels on everything we discovered in this Universe, which is why we no longer speak the language of the prophets (as).

Hence when man recently discovered the subatomic world, the world with in the Atom, it should be no surprise that Allah who spoke about the entirety of creation in detail not only prepared man for this knowledge but spoke about it at length in the Quran, along with his prophet (saws), using the terminology most appropriate for the people of Arabia during the prophets (saws) time, this same language would hold for the next 1300 years, that as until the modern age that relabeled everything.

In fact Allah made a promise in the Quran to show mankind the subatomic world, also called the Quantum Universe, in which the smallest particles in creation exist by the time we near the Hour.

Allah said “In time We shall make them fully understand Our messages

[through what they perceive] in the utmost horizons [of the universe] and within themselves, so that it will become clear unto them that this [revelation] is indeed the truth.” [Qur’an 41:53]

Soon after mankind understood what space was he unraveled the way it exists by studying the smallest particles in it, the subatomic world, hence what Allah promised mankind was fulfilled and in the manner He mentioned, we would learn about space by studying ‘what is within our self’, the small particles we are created from.

Once our knowledge of the Universe became more complete we became capable of putting together the picture Allah left for us in the Quran and Sunnah. Allah created Angels from light this is a subatomic particle called the photon, and he created the Jinn from a pure fire that isn’t fueled by anything burning, a pure smokeless flame, this may have seemed hard to understand prior to our time but we now know the sun burns through fusion and is self sustaining, similarly the Jinn are crated from a similar fire, from these simple examples and many others Allah mentions in the Quran we can see he was giving us a picture of the subatomic world and the beings He created in it, all from the smallest particles in the Universe.

Allah says in the Quran that it is a source of healing and baraka (light) for mankind, so what does he mean by that, is this something imaginary or real?

It was narrated that Abu Sa’eed (r.a) said: “A group of the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) set out on a journey and traveled until they stopped in (the land of) one of the Arab tribes. They asked them for hospitality but they refused to welcome them. The chief of that tribe was stung by a scorpion and they tried everything but nothing helped them. Some of them said, ‘Why don’t you go to those people who are camped (near us), maybe you will find something with them.’ So they went to them and said, ‘O people, our chief has been stung by a scorpion and we have tried everything but nothing helped him. Can any of you do anything?’ One of them said, ‘Yes, by Allaah, I will recite ruqyah (spiritual healing) for him, but by Allaah we asked you for hospitality and you did not welcome us, so I will not recite ruqyah for you until you give us something in return.’ Then they agreed upon a flock of sheep.’ Then he went and spat drily and recited over him Al-hamdu Lillaahi Rabb il-‘Aalameen [Surah al-Fatihah].

(The chief) got up as if he was released from a chain and started walking, and there were no signs of sickness on him. They paid them what they agreed to pay. Some of them (i.e. the companions) then suggested to divide their earnings among themselves, but the one who performed the ruqyah said, ‘Do not divide them until we go to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and tell him what happened, then wait and see what he tells us to do.’ So they went to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and told him what had happened.

The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) asked, ‘How did you know that it (al-Fatiha) is a ruqyah? (Contained spiritual healing) ’ Then he added, ‘You have done the right thing. Share out (the flock of sheep) and give me a share too.’ And the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) smiled.” (Bukhaari, 2156; Muslim, 2201)

The Spiritual world the Quran calls “ghayb” is the subatomic world, the Quantum Universe, our bodies interact with it all the time. The image we see in our mind during dreams or when we imagine things is created from light and other particles, but how does the body manipulate those particles to create the image, this is one example of how the body influences the subatomic world and it’s particles, that image in turn influences how we will react, behave and feel, all of this gives us the order of how things operate in turn, first from the image in our mind, what we imagine, to the chemical reactions produced in our body as a result of what we think, and this is simply one way how the quantum world influences man through his physiology.

Mans nervous system, the human brain and the heart create a very strong electromagnetic field that can be measured 3ft from our body with simple scientific equipment, we use it to sense the world around us and direct our sense perception, because this field is the first thing particles interact with before we notice anything else, a property explained by physics, and it is directly connected to all our perceptive organs, this is another way the human body interacts with the subatomic world and there are many other ways. The very cells in our body rely on light (photon particles) itself to survive and fuel the smallest reactions in our body all driven from the quantum world, that keep us alive, if photons (Light particles) didn’t have enough strength to fuel the reactions in our cells we would eventually deteriorate and die.

In the Hadith mentioned earlier, the chief was bitten by a scorpion and was poisoned, the companion of the prophet (saws) spat on the bite then recited surah al fatiha which removed the poison from him, the prophet (saws) then affirmed the fatiha contains healing in it’s recitation.

We can ask why doesn’t this work for us, why cant we cure anything with a simple recitation, but this is like asking, if we jump why cant we reach space ? a person with knowledge will say this is because of gravity, those who don’t know about gravity will stay silent or make something up.

There is something in Islam known as human perfection, Allah taught about this from the earliest revelations, the Prophets where the most perfect of Human beings, they are followed by whoever reaches near to them in the perfection of their character, we sometimes call these people the Awliya (saints). Perfection of a persons character is needed because it means nothing of bad qualities is hindering the Baraka as it cures the person, our body is the tool we use when we recite the Quran. Similarly the companions had the most perfect character after the prophet (saws) they where all Awliyah (friends of Allah).

Bad qualities produce bad chemicals and other consequences in the body which hinders the recitation, it is like a bad reception so our acts are not effective.

The Angels govern this universe from the subatomic world bringing about Allah’s will, this is the picture Allah draws for us, and as we can see from what we know about the Quantum Universe they are perfectly capable of it since they are created from light (photons), one of the most commonly found particles in the Universe.

Allah commanded the Angels to prostrate to Adam and in turn to the rest of mankind, or rather those who perfected them self like the prophets that came after Adam along with the Awliya. This prostration means that they will follow them and do as they will when they reach similar perfection to the Angels, hence when the prophet (saws) says that in the Quran is a spiritual healing, it means that this healing comes from the subatomic world through it’s recitation and the Angels will bring about it’s effects for those who perfected their character.

This is why the prophets (saws) could display miracles along with the companions, and the Awliyah of later generations after them as they willed, something Allah promises to grant them in a hadith Qudsi once he chooses to love a person.

But Allah was teaching all of us that the Quran contains healing and baraka not just the prophets or the Awliya, this is because how effective it is depends on our moral character, those who are better people will have greater effect in their ruqyah than those who are evil, and this is in degrees until we reach the prophets whose recitation (ruqya) always worked, while ours improves the situation and lifts parts of it’s harmful effects.

In fact Allah in the Quran, in reference to all this, says “We send down in the Qur’an that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe: to the unjust it causes nothing but loss after loss”. Meaning when the fatiha is recited the healing is sent down to us, and because Allah gives it a direction of coming down, we know it is traveling, this is then a quantum substance he is sending down, something made from matter in this Universe, hence the healing is a subatomic matter like the Angels and light.

The words ‘sent down’ are used to refer to the subatomic universe because the quantum part of the Universe that Angels exist in is the higher one while the physical world, were particles have solidified, is the lowest state of existence and matter. We know that in this Universe there is visible and invisible light, like ultraviolet light, which is another thing that tells us the unseen world (ghayb) is the same world as invisible light.

Hence Allah is telling us that healing is given to us through the Quantum Universe which our bodies interact with all the time in more ways than we can list here.

If we ask ‘did Allah speak more directly in the Quran regarding Quantum Mechanics, the physics of the Subatomic world’, the answer is a clear yes and in many places, most of us would have read the chapters dedicated to it but never understood the significance or the knowledge Allah was mentioning behind what was being said. Similar to many other verses regarding science in the Quran such as embryology which where not understood until science discovered those areas of knowledge.

Surah Al Qariah is one such surah, Ibn Abbas related that Allah called the Hour al Qariah (the Calamity, surah 101) because it shakes peoples hearts. 101:1 “OH, the sudden calamity! (2) How awesome the sudden calamity! (3) And what could make thee conceive what that sudden calamity will be? (4) [It will occur] on the Day when men will be like moths swarming in confusion…Allah then gives one very specific and vivid image of that Day to show it’s Awesomeness… “and the mountains will be like tufts of wool, like carded wool in terms of the lightness with which it floats [in the air] until it comes to settle upon the earth”(5), (Tafsir al Jalalayn).

The Mountains which are solid rock will literally turn into what looks like fluffy wool then they will float in the air like the clouds are floating today. The image is very clear but the science behind how this would occur could not be understood until Allah’s promise to teach mankind regarding the Quantum Universe was fulfilled.

In the Universe there are four fundamental forces that act on all particles, three of these these forces are what make all the small particles come together to create the matter, physical objects, bodies of water and gas’s we see around us in the world, one of these forces is said to be responsible for 99% of all chemical reactions. It isn’t important to know their names to understand this but they are Gravity, the Electromagnetic force, the Strong nuclear force and the Weak nuclear force.

When the Hour sounds these forces will be the first thing that will be affected and come to a stop, the very bonds holding matter together will begin to weaken and eventually cease to exist. Because the rocks that these strong mountains are made from will become like tufts of wool loosely held together, as all the forces holding matter in the Universe are weakened, including gravity, the mountains will come apart and then float in the air like clouds, the reference to tufts of woll is an indication that they will come apart slowly so the particles will remain loosely held together and float.

This exact image is repeated in surah Al Waqiah (The Event) verse 6, “When the earth is shaken with a shaking [severe], (56:5) and the mountains are shattered into [countless] shards, (56:6) so that they become as scattered dust” an eventuality of the process.

Another clear example of Quantum Mechanics, or physics of the subatomic world, is Surah Takwir (Shrouding in Darkness, 81) “WHEN THE SUN is shrouded in darkness, (2) and when the stars lose their light, (3) and when the mountains are made to vanish, (4)”…This is an exact description of what will occur when the fundamental forces in our Universe cease to exist seen in the sun and stars going dark. Allah then gives a very unique picture in verse 6,  “and when the seas are set afire (read sujirat or sujjirat), [when] they are set alight and become [a mass of] fire” (Tafsir al Jalalayn).

How can water burn when it puts out fire, this is very simple if we think about what water is made from, 2 Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom, H2O, if the bonds holding these atoms together become weakened and no longer exist we have Hydrogen gas being released from the sea, which is very flammable and is used today to power many alternative fueled vehicles, that fire caused by the Hydrogen gas burning will be fueled by the Oxygen atom no longer bonded to it, fire will follow the source of oxygen (air), so the oceans will literally be on fire.

The most famous sign of the hour in the Sunnah is that of the Sun rising from the west soon after the death of Isa (as), this is the opposite direction it now rises from, for this to occur the earth would have to follow the opposite path in space it is now on, this is the clearest sign that the fundamental forces in the Universe are being altered because the sun is like green tree frogs, which are dying, detecting the state of the environment, the most sensitive species will feel the effects first.

Although this is still theory among physicist they theorize that just as the Universe is expanding, and this is like an elastic band, gravity will eventually cause the expansion to stop and head in the opposite direction, the Universe will contract, and like the Big Bang it is termed the Big Crunch, except that Allah will end this expansion with an eternal event the blowing of the trumpet, before it reaches the point they calculate based on how much energy is present in the universe, the mechanics of how a sound can unravel matter and affect the expansion of the universe is another area of knowledge physics explains. This will occur soon after Allah takes the lives of all believers from the earth, because the purpose that Allah created the Universe for, to know him, will no longer exist.

The Sun unlike the earth isn’t a solid body it is a giant Mass of quantum particles, about 75% Hydrogen and 25% Helium along with a small amount of heavier elements, and it is entirely driven by the forces of the subatomic universe, hence this giant Mass which dictates the forces of Gravity in our galaxy is closely aligned to the fundamental forces in the Universe and were anything to occur to them the Sun would experience it first before the earth along with the stars.

The four fundamental forces in the Universe are created by the expansion of the Universe, if we swing our arm fast that movement creates a force of wind around it, in a similar way the forces in the Universe exist because the Universe is expanding (moving).

If something occurs to the expansion of the Universe, like contracting after expanding, it will affect these forces first, and if the Sun reversed it’s orbit in space, because it is the largest body affecting gravity in our galaxy, it would cause the planets to all spin around it in the opposite direction, kind of like a water whirlpool that now spins the other way causing everything in the water to spin in that direction as well.

The following tafsir (exegesis) to verse 7:40 mentions a unique phenomena and requires more consideration, [7:40] (Lo! they who deny Our revelations) Muhammad (pbuh) and the Qur’an (and scorn them) scorn believing in them, (for them the gates of Heaven will not be opened) to receive their works or souls (nor will they enter the Garden until the camel goeth through the needle’s eye) they will not enter Paradise just as a camel cannot pass through the eye of a needle; it is also said that this means: they will not enter Paradise until a (large) rope goes through a needle’s eye. (Thus do We requite the guilty) the idolaters. (Tanwir al Miqbas min Tafsir Ibn Abbas)

Here Allah mentions a large camel passing through the eye of a small sowing needle a the prerequisite for the people of Hell (jahanam) being able to escape it, often termed a dark black pit. The examples Allah set’s are always related to possible things He created, hence the simile is a balance of things relating to the Laws of Physics in this universe, which means that if the Universe were somehow to allow a camel to pass through the eye of the needle, meaning as it is escaping hell it needs to shrink to this size, then the people of Jahanm (hell) would be able to enter paradise.

Allah mentions this verse in a Quran filled with examples of quantum mechanics like the mountains turning into very fine particles, space turing into molten brass (or tanned leather) when the bonds holding matter will begin to weaken and unravel, space will look like molten metal or tanned leather at the time of the hour, or the sun and stars loosing their light which is a unique connection since at the time of the prophet (saws) no one knew what a star was let alone that it relates to our own sun.

Hence this verse (7:40) shouldn’t be taken in isolation as something imaginary or a wild oath which isn’t in Allah’s speech or befitting His majesty, it is another example of Allah speaking about the subatomic universe, in this case, literally the end for matter to shrink in order to escape hell.

We know from previous revelations when Allah showed the prophet Idris (saws) the Universe, like many prophets, He showed him Jahanam (Hell), when Idris (as) described it in physical detail while looking at it from the outside that description matched exactly what is scientifically known when we look at black holes. What isn’t commonly known about black holes and what the prophet (saws) mentioned, is that many but not all have a disk of debris around them known as a secretion disk and many others have large plumes, jets of light, coming out of them from the matter they swallow up, they are lightyears in diameter even bigger than our galaxy.

Light when it enters a black hole it can not escape along with any other matter and it is shrunk, Humans and all beings need light to survive, enjoy life and function physically so it isn’t hard to understand, as the prophet (saws) mentioned how blackholes are Jahanam (hell), it is a place were no sun can exist while humans need sunlight to thrive, depriving humans of sunlight causes depression and anxiety and many other kinds of suffering.

This verse was revealed regarding the people of Jahanam who scorned the prophet (saws) and the believers (as), blackholes is a place where matter and the laws of Physics are not like everywhere else, this is why Allah employs an unusual simile for people inside Jahanam (hell).

Allah says the doors of Heaven wont open for them until the camel can pass through the eye of the needle, this is a simile for matter being capable of escaping a black hole, the eye of the needle is the crushing force on matter at the entry to the black hole, the camel will shrink if it goes near it, Allah also describes the people of Jahanam as being sealed away for eternity inside it, this is what literally seals them in, the inward crushing force of the black hole which doesn’t allow anything to leave.

All of this is Quantum Mechanics, the physics of the subatomic world and it is mentioned very clearly by Allah in the Quran in many places, the Baraka Allah speaks about is the benefit we receive from that world which our body depends on daily to function normally, this is one reason why Allah instructed man to pray five times a day to continually receive that benefit which keeps our heart healthy and that in turn helps keep the strife and afflictions of the world away from us, something the prophet stated in literal terms.

The Prophet (saws) said: “Trials are presented to the heart (repeatedly) as a mat is woven straw by straw. So, whichever heart absorbs it, a black spot is blotched on it, and whichever heart deflects it, a white dot is spotted on it. (This continues) until hearts become one of two states: a whitened heart that is not harmed by any trial so long as the heavens and the earth remain, or a blackened, deviant heart that knows no good and rejects no evil except what it absorbs of its desires” (Reported by Muslim).

If a person feels something in his heart he lives out (carries out) the actions of that feeling, for example if he falls in love he caries out the actions of a person in love after he starts to feel love, if he is depressed he carries out the actions of a depressed person, the heart that absorbs the trial will live out that trial and be afflicted by it, this is the significance of purifying the heart with prayer, fasting, dhikr and other beneficial things we do in life, they protect a person before the trouble enters into his life.

In this hadith is the understanding that strife and trials created by humans, impact the quantum universe and affect particles their which in turn affect other people around us, many laws in quantum physics can account for this like quantum entanglement which explains how quantum particles are connected together.

All this is why the prophet (saws) used to say that reciting a specific surah will protect someone for a specific number of days, the impact of the recitation only lasts for a length of time protecting the person from a specific type of affliction in the world.

For example if we recite the first three verses of surah al Baqarah, ayat al kursi and the last three verses of this surah and make a habit of reciting them daily, a persons life, property and family will be protected and no evil will come upon them while it is being recited, here we see the prophet (saws) making a distinction between the evil in this world and the trials of life, the trials we face are not always due to effects of evil acts other people carry out.

Reciting the last two verses of Bani Israil is a protection against theft, reciting surah al Ahzab and Saba a person will receive protection from Allah for that entire night, reciting surah al Fath is a protection in times of war and travel, in the Fatiha is a cure for every illness except death, literally man will receive benefit from it against every illness it’s effectiveness is according to how clan our character is, reciting surah al Kahf on Friday will protect a person from the fitnah of the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him) for that week, there are many more similar examples in the sunnah.

Baraka which in general terms means blessing and refers to what ever benefits us spiritually should be thought of as subatomic particles, it is like a large field made up of quantum particles that depends and only materializes because of our actions. To understand what it looks like, light for example is made of the photon particle, when we turn on a light bulb we don’t see a single photon we see a field of light made up of many photons spread out around the room, in a similar way this is how any kind of Baraka exists like a field of light, or a cloud as Ahadith described.

The fact the prophet (saws) gave a time period to the consequences of us reciting parts of the Quran shows how He viewed the effects of the Quran, it is like a medicine whose effects wear of after some time so we need to apply it again in order to receive and maintain it all the time in our life, the following hadith shows the prophet (saws) fully understood the way the quantum Universe worked and much of his advice was so mankind could derive benefit from it.

Al-Bara’bin Azib narated: A man was reciting Surah Al-Kahf and his horse was tied with two ropes beside him. A cloud came down and spread over that man, and it kept on coming closer and closer to him till his horse started jumping. When it was morning, the man came to the Prophet, and told him of that experience. The Prophet said, “That was As-Sakina (the substance of tranquility) which descended because of the Qur’an.” (Bukhari)

This companion had firasa, his inner vision was made clear, Allah granted him spiritual vision to see the Sakina that descends when any person recites the Quran, many of us simply feel it when we recite. The Prophet (saws) said beware the vision of the believer for he sees with the Light of Allah (Tirmidhi), meaning Allah is giving him literal light to see what He wants him to see at that time.

If we understand this we can understand the literalness in Allah’s words regarding the Ark, Allah said “Verily! The sign of His kingdom is that there shall come to you At Tabut (The Ark), within it is Sakinah (peace and tranquility) from your Lord and a remnant (relics) of that which Moses and Aaron left behind, carried by the angels. Verily, in this is a sign for you if you are indeed believers.” (2:248)

We see in this verse that Sakinah, which mean peace and tranquility, is treated like a substance that Allah placed inside the Ark and this is what gave the Ark it’s benefit to mankind, prayer gives us a similar benefit.

There is literally a whole lot more that can be said on this subject as we delve deeper into it but this is not the scope of this work, this subject matter was included to clarify the chapter regarding the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him), the prophet (saws) said what He will have with him is not a kind of sihr (Dark Magic) but a kind of knowledge from Allah, the prophet (saws) was referring to technology which he will use like sihr (Dark Magic). Theses are advancements in science that will exist in his time, the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him) will literally manipulate the forces of the Universe to create miracles and fool people, to do this you have to control matter from the quantum universe in order to make things appear from thin air.

The Prophet (saws) said “Before (the) appearance of the Dajjaal, a group of people would pave the way (for him), setting up a system to prepare the world for his arrival.” we are now living in that system which he will take advantage of to control people.

Regarding all the science and knowledge that the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him) will have with him the Prophet (saws) said “I know more about the powers which the Dajjaal will have than he will know himself” (Muslim), the prophet (saws) understood the technology the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him) would use to do what he does better than him.

In order to understand how the prophet (saws) could know this, we have to understand that Man is an immense vessel than can hold a lot of knowledge and understanding, we know this from the fact Adam (as) was given the names of literally everything, to see how this is possible we have to understand the role of the heart in mans consciousness.

By similarity we know this is possible for Angels who were created at the beginning of the universe and have not forgotten anything since then, this is the nature of light which Angels are created from and the role of the Human soul is similar in nature. As the scholars said our soul plays a role other than keeping us alive, it is our connection to the unseen world which it is constantly looking at it, and the heart is our connection to the soul itself hence the need to purify the hearts to connect to it more clearly.

The prophet (saws) similarly said about himself “My Lord came to me in the best form” – the narrator said: “I think he said: `in my sleep'” – “and asked me over what did the Highest Assembly (al-mala’u al-a`la) vie (“the angels brought near” according to Ibn al-Athir in al-Nihaya and others); I said I did not know, so He put His hand between my shoulders, and I felt its coolness in my innermost, and knowledge of all things between the East and the West came to me.”(Sahih, Tirmidhi)

All knowledge in the east and west is not all knowledge in the Universe, we must then ask how does Man explain the knowledge we have with us today to desert Arabs living 1400 years ago, this is how we should look at the prophet’s (saws) words, as a person trying to explain to mankind every aspect of this same Universe around us, in a language the Arab tribes could understand.

Allah summed up the entire matter of how the quantum universe or ghayb (the unseen world), is connected to the physical world through our physiology and consciousness in the following hadith Qudsi:

Allah almighty said “I am as my servant thinks I am. I am with him when he makes mention of me. If he makes mention of me to himself, I make mention of him to myself; and if he makes mention of Me in an assembly, I make mention of him in an assembly better than it. And if he draws near to me an arm’s length, I draw near to him a fathom’s length. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him at speed.” (Muslim)

Our imagination colors our world and we experience the world how we imagine it, bad imaginations lead to all the illnesses of the nafs (self) because we pollute them, while those who know Allah that knowing (Maarifa) will color their world until they see the signs of Allah in the Universe because they know were and how to look, Allah will go to them at speed, this is how Allah created the human body to know him and why He created the universe in this way.

The prophets (as) where given the most knowledge among mankind and the prophet (saws) was instructed to speak to people according to their level of understanding.

Regarding the vision the heart perceives, Imam Ali was asked what is creation, the Universe, Imam Ali replied ‘it is like the dust in the air, it only becomes visible when the light of Allah strikes it’.

It’s amazing that he would use dust as an example, dust in the air becomes visible when sun light hit’s it, hence dust is the perfect simile for the particles in the Quantum Universe that everything in the unseen world is made from, our heart sees the image made from these particles when a light that we can perceive shines upon it.

Imam Ali also said “You think that your self is some insignificant thing and yet in you are all of the cosmos” in Arabic: “tahsibu nafsaka anaka jarmun saghirun, mu fikan Allam al Akbar”.

We have to ask our self what prerequisite knowledge did the companions have to be able to come to this conclusion, to say such things, most people throughout history would have looked at such words and said Allahu Allam, only Allah knows, yet the verse regarding this matter is plainly their in the Quran and the companions understood the Quran best, because the prophet (saws) himself taught them, but it took the world nearly 1400 years to perceive it.

They understood what Allah said in these verses, “In time We shall make them fully understand Our messages [through what they perceive] in the utmost horizons [of the universe] and within themselves, (in the heart ‘it is like the dust in the air, it only becomes visible (to man) when the light of Allah strikes it’.) so that it will become clear unto them that this [revelation] is indeed the truth.” [Qur’an 41:53]

Allah in the Quran even explains how, in a single surah, surah al Shams 91, and the prophets companions would have had the best understanding regarding it’s meaning, but that is another topic which we will dedicate another work to Insha Allah.

Allah makes it very clear when all this knowledge would be revealed to mankind, in answer to the non muslims who asked when the Hour will come, Allah replied to their challenge “Man is a creature of haste; [but in time] I shall make obvious to you [the truth of] My messages: do not, then ask me to hasten [it]” (21:37), Allah replied by saying I will not bring the Hour until I first reveal to mankind the meaning of the Quran, that is, everything in the Quran that man could not understand before our time science would eventually uncover, and it is only after this point in time that Allah’s promise of the Hour will come to pass.

In this verse is the affirmation by Allah that everything we have mentioned regarding the Quantum Universe and its relationship to man’s physiology and his consciousness is the crux of the matter, this is the reality behind every single spiritual experience and miracle we have read about in the Quran or Sunnah or even experienced.

Mankind has unravelled the mysteries of space, and since that promise in the Quran is now fulfilled we are seeing the sings the prophet (saws) described as the hour casting it’s shadow over people, and in the very near future, before the Mahdi (ra), we will see another event that will mark it’s nearness being just above mankind’s head as the prophet (saws) stated.

We can use the following simile to understand all we have mentioned, everyday each of us uses a computers operating system, Window’s, Mac or Android, to talk the hardware of the computer, it is the interface between us and the physical parts the computer is made from, in the same way nature is the interface between us and Allah, He uses it and everything in it to talk to us and guid us. The heart sums up the meaning of that picture and translates it into feelings we can interpret with our mind and put words to, as some scholars said the heart is Allah’s riding animal, because it can sum up the entire Universe (picture) just by looking at it, it doesn’t matter how big the picture is, those who purify their hearts receive a clear picture and can interpret it clearly, and those who corrupt their hearts receive a deluded picture that is hard to understand.

In this universe Angels can guide man through the system Allah placed in the human body, Jesus (as) understood this and said the body is a temple, and the prophets received revelation through their hearts, while the Devils can hijack the system (our physiology) like a virus in a computer, when this occurs it then needs to be cleaned to work properly again.

Allah says in the Qur’an:

91:7 Consider the human self, and how it is formed in accordance with what it is meant to be,

91:8 And inspired it (with) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it.

91:9 To a happy state shall indeed attain he who causes this [self] to grow in purity (Zakaha),

91:10 and truly lost is he who buries it [in darkness].

There is a famous saying by the Great Scholars of Islam, who summed up all of this knowledge in a short expression, they said “Qalb al insan Arsh al Rahman”, the human heart is the throne of the Merciful.

In relation to this subject the following work clarifies the matter further from an Islamic point of view and shows that historically our scholars spoke about these matters at length with an Islamic vocabulary.

The Mulk, the physical world, comes from Alam al Malakut, the Angelic world, or the world of light, and light in the Quran is the simile for quantum particles. In modern terms the scholars have always said the physical world is created from the quantum world because this is what our Deen has always said.
