As Salaam ‘Alaykum: We thank Allāh, we seek His help, we ask for His forgiveness, we believe and put our complete trust in Him, Mighty and Sublime is He. We witness that there is no G’d but Allāh, He alone is without partners, and we witness that Muhammed is His Servant and Messenger, the prayers and peace be on him, on his descendants, his companions, and peace be on Allāh’s Messengers (all of them), and what follows of this traditional salutation.

Allāh (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) has said in Sūrah 24:21

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّبِعُوا خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ وَمَن يَتَّبِعْ خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ فَإِنَّهُ يَأْمُرُ بِالْفَحْشَاء وَالْمُنكَرِ وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ ﷲِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُ مَا زَكَا مِنكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ أَبَدًا وَلَكِنَّ ﷲَ يُزَكِّي مَن يَشَاء وَﷲُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

To bring clarity about this language, ﴾ خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ ﴿ khu-tu-wā-tish-shay-tān | the devil’s footsteps we must acquire a functional understanding of what Allāh (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) has revealed. الشَّيْطَانِ must be avoided if we want to keep our humanity in check. الشَّيْطَانِ | The chief enemy of man who is far from the truth and mercy of Allāh (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) knows his purpose is to infect humanity with his diseased, arrogant, contemptuous, perverted, self delusional, intoxicated thinking that convinces fools to believe that humanity is too inferior to serve the one and only deity who is known by the proper name Allāh and other improper names.

As human beings it is imperative that we take a critical look at how we deify behavior by making it an object of worship. In this case, we identify Al-Islām as behavior that embodies our complete way of life. However, it is a sin and a shame that we are now deifying the works of the revered scholars and militant deviants by elevating their schools of thought as the only behavior that is acceptable to Allāh (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى).

In the Islamic Community of Prophet Muhammed (ﺼﻠﻰ ﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻮ ﺴﻠﻢ) there is only one deity whose proper name is Allāh (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى), there is only one Prophet Muhammed (ﺼﻠﻰ ﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻮ ﺴﻠﻢ) who is the Messenger of Allāh to 1,500,000,000 people serving Allāh in different ways from the cradle to the grave. What makes us think that the only way to serve Allāh (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) is by cloning a make believe identity, overdosed on the intoxicated idea of self-righteous superiority?

Yes we have beautiful traditions and ceremonial expressions that are linked to the practices of Prophet Muhammed (ﺼﻠﻰ ﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻮ ﺴﻠﻢ); nevertheless, we can’t deify any entity as an object of worship. Prophet Muhammed has said,

أَفْضَلُ الذِّكْرِ لَا إِلهَ إِلَّا اللهُ

The most excellent thinking is that there is no deity except Allah.

The mindset that leads to hostility, hatred, and the idea that whoever is not an identical clone of us is fit for nothing but fuel to keep the fires of hell burning is repulsive. It is a mindset that led to the genocidal crime against humanity known as slavery, the holocaust; it is the mindset that fostered the genocide in Rwanda. It is the mindset that evolves into Satanic thinking, it is a disease that we seek protection with Allāh (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) from.

Take the digestive system, we consume food to survive, yet the fact is that our bodies process what we put in ourselves and extract what is best for itself and eliminates as wastes what it can’t use. Likewise, this same process is in place as it relates storing reprocessed spiritual information, we take what we need, it benefits us, but nevertheless, if we don’t eliminate the excess over time it will clog up our spiritual digestion system and decay into a foul, stinking, rotten mess that contaminates us to the point of spiritual death. This is why Allāh (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) has said in Sūrah, 29:45

اتْلُ مَا أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ تَنْهَى عَنِ الْفَحْشَاء وَالْمُنكَرِ وَلَذِكْرُ ﷲِ أَكْبَرُ

اتْلُ | ut-lu is اَﻠﻔِﻌْﻞُٱﻷﻤْﺮُ | al-fiﻉ-lul-amr | Qur’anic language formed as a command, past, present and future tense order from Allāh (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) teaching us in this case to اتْلُ | recite (!) what was revealed to you from the book and أَقِمِ | a-qim | keep the prayer devotion straight (!); surely prayer تَنْهَى | tan-hā | restrains from الْفَحْشَاء | al-fah-shā-i | indecency; adultery; fornication; sodomy. Illicit sexual conduct and الْمُنكَرِ | al-mun-kar | what is repugnant, disliked and strange to human nature; وَلَذِكْرُ ﷲِ أَكْبَرُ

أَقُولُ قَوْلِي هذَا وَأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ لِي وَلَكُم

As Salaam ‘Alaykum: We thank Allāh, we seek His help, we ask for His forgiveness, we believe and put our complete trust in Him, Mighty and Sublime is He. We witness that there is no G’d but Allāh, He alone is without partners, and we witness that Muhammed is His Servant and Messenger, the prayers and peace be on him, on his descendants, his companions, and peace be on Allāh’s Messengers (all of them), and what follows of this traditional salutation.

Allāh (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) has said in Sūrah 39:2

إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ فَاعْبُدِ ﷲَ مُخْلِصًا لَّهُ الدِّينَ

We have sent down to you the book in truth, so serve Allāh offering Him sincere devotion in the religion. فَاعْبُدِ | faﻉ-bud | so serve (!) | اَﻠﻔِﻌْﻞُٱﻷﻤْﺮُ | al-fiﻉ-lul-amr | the command verb is a grammatical rule wherein Allāh (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) is teaching believers to behave obediently, past, present and future. To find the meaning of this word note the underlined key letters: عa-ba-da | ﻋَﺒَﺪَ | he served, worshipped; the noun form is: `عab-dun| ﻋَﺒْﺪٌ | a human servant; ‘Abdullah | ﻋَﺒْﺪُﷲ | servant of Allāh. The verbal noun form is: iع-bā-dat | ﻋِﺒَﺎﺪَﺕ | meaning obedience. Worship in Al-Islām lies not just in declaring the oneness of Allāh and that Prophet Muhammed (ﺼﻠﻰ ﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻮ ﺴﻠﻢ) is His Messenger by the lips and performance of certain rites of service, e.g. prayer, charity, fasting and hajj, but it is a disciplined way of life devoted to obedience to Allāh (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى).

Allāh (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) has said in Sūrah 33:56,

إِنَّ ﷲَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا

Allāh and His Angels send blessings on the Prophet; O you who believe: صَلُّوا | sal-lū | send blessings | the requirement to respond obediently to: اَﻠﻔِﻌْﻞُٱﻷﻤْﺮُ | al-fiﻉ-lul-amr | the command from Allāh (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) is always the same; and سَلِّمُوا | sal-li-mū | peace | اَﻠﻔِﻌْﻞُٱﻷﻤْﺮُ | al-fiﻉ-lul-amr | on him!

There are hadith narrated from the Messenger of Allāh (ﺼﻠﻰ ﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻮ ﺴﻠﻢ) teaching us to send blessings on him and how we are to do so. He (ﺼﻠﻰ ﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻮ ﺴﻠﻢ) said:

«قُولُوا: اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ، اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيد»

Say: O Allāh, send prayers on Muhammed and on the family of Muhammed, like You sent prayers on Ibrāhīm and on the family of Ibrāhīm, surely, You are praised, glorious; O Allah, bless Muhammed and bless the family of Muhammed, like You blessed Ibrāhīm and the family of Ibrāhīm, surely, You are praised, glorious.

A report narrates that while observing the prayer behind Allāh’s Messenger (ﺼﻠﻰ ﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻮ ﺴﻠﻢ) some companions (may Allāh be pleased with them) used to recite peace of Allāh be upon so and so. One day the Messenger of Allāh (ﺼﻠﻰ ﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻮ ﺴﻠﻢ) said to them: Verily Allāh is Himself Peace. When anyone of you sits during prayer, he should say: All services rendered by words, by acts of worship, and all good things are due to Allāh. Peace be on you, O Prophet, and Allāh’s mercy and blessings. Peace be upon us and upon Allāh’s upright servants – for when he says this it reaches every upright servant in heaven and earth, (and say further): I witness that there is no deity but Allāh and I witness that Muhammed is His servant and Messenger. Allāh (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) has said in Sūrah 33:56,

وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَلَا مُؤْمِنَةٍ إِذَا قَضَى ﷲُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمْرًا أَن يَكُونَ لَهُمُ الْخِيَرَةُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ وَمَن يَعْصِ ﷲَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلَالًا مُّبِينًا

It is not for a male believer and no female believer when an order has been decided by Allāh and His Messenger that they should have any option about their decision; and whoever disobeys Allāh and His Messenger, he has already clearly strayed astray. This is the position of Allāh (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) and His Messenger (ﺼﻠﻰ ﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻮ ﺴﻠﻢ) regarding those who seek to cause dissension in the Islamic Community of Prophet Muhammed (ﺼﻠﻰ ﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻮ ﺴﻠﻢ) by misusing what Allāh (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) has said in Sūrah, 46:5 about the blasphemers taking the truth out of context using the art of arguing passionately and strongly to start a debate with their opinion.

وَمَنْ أَضَلُّ مِمَّن يَدْعُو مِن دُونِ ﷲ

And who is more astray than one who calls on other than Allāh?

We witness that there is no G’d but Allāh, He alone is without partners, and we witness that Muhammed is His Servant and Messenger, the prayers and peace be on him, on his descendants, his companions, and peace be on Allāh’s Messengers (all of them), and what follows of this traditional salutation.

Allāh (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) has said in Sūrah 15:99

وَاعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَكَ الْيَقِينُ

And serve (!) your Lord until الْيَقِينُ | al-ya-qīn | the certainty comes. Commenting on الْيَقِينُ | al-ya-qīn, it is narrated in hadith that Prophet Muhammed (ﺼﻠﻰ ﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻮ ﺴﻠﻢ) has said,

«صَلِّ قَائِمًا، فَإِنْ لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ فَقَاعِدًا، فَإِنْ لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ فَعَلَى جَنْب»

“Pray standing, and if you cannot, then sitting, and if you cannot, then on your side.” These instructions detail how important it is to remember Allāh (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) irregardless to the condition Muslims find themselves in. If one is well and there is not any physical obstacle, stand up and pray, however, if there are, pray sitting, or if there are health restrictions preventing either of these postures, prayer in remembrance of G’d can observed while lying without interruption until it is certain that the angel of death claims our soul.

Allāh (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) has said in Sūrah 24:55

وَعَدَ ﷲُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُم فِي الْأَرْضِ

It is blessing to be serving Allāh in Jumu’ah, an institution devoted to learning by way of glorifying Allāh (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) as demonstrated by Prophet Muhammed (ﺼﻠﻰ ﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻮ ﺴﻠﻢ) 1,430 years ago. If we are to be the recipients of Allāh’s promise: لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُم | li-yas-takh-li-fan-na-hum | that He will definitely make them successors in the earth; there are critical questions that we must answer. Where is the plan and who is going to pay the workforce for the labor that it will take to build the homes and infrastructures, the roads, the health care industry, schools, the businesses, and the Muslim legal minds that it will take to maintain compliance with the laws in the Islamic Community of Prophet Muhammed? Who is responsible to insure that there are Muslim media networks to take on the role of presenting the correct image of Muslims? What about recreation, arts, entertainment for our youth? Will we have defense forces to protect Muslims from those who align themselves against us as enemies who seek to destroy us en-mass? What about currency, will we mint our own money as legal tender?

Allāh (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) has said in Sūrah 81:9

وَإِذَا الْمَوْؤُودَةُ سُئِلَتْ بِأَيِّ ذَنبٍ قُتِلَتْ

And when الْمَوْؤُودَةُ | al-maw-ū-da-tu | the female buried alive is asked: for which ذَنبٍ | dham-bin | crime was she killed? This issue is addressed in hadith in regards to the early companions (ra) that asked about interruption of sexual intercourse to prevent the male discharge from entering into the womb of the woman, Prophet Muhammed (ﺼﻠﻰ ﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻮ ﺴﻠﻢ) responded:

«ذلِكَ الْوَأْدُ الْخَفِيُّ، وَهُوَ الْمَوْءُودَةُ سُئِلَت»

That is الْوَأْدُ الْخَفِيُّ | al-wa-‘-dul-kha-fiy-yu | secret infanticide and the infant female buried alive will be questioned. Domestic violence against women such as the recent findings of a mother of four whose body was found decapitated (إِنَّا ﻠِﻠﱠﻪِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ | our prayers and condolences go out to the family of the victim) and the arrest of a suspect for her murder is said to be rooted in the notions about women’s subordination to men. While domestic violence affects all cultures, the reporter of this horrific lynching states that Muslim women find it harder to break their silence about domestic violence because of the stigma that comes with exposing the truth to the light of day will bring dishonor to those who profess this religion.

There is no honor in adopting the bestial behavior of primitive savages; we’re not created to serve our emotions. ﺨَﺑَﺎﻞ | kha-bāl | corruption is a term used to describe the effects of giving our reasoning to destructive influences. Allāh (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) has said in Sūrah 3:118

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ لاَ تَتَّخِذُواْ بِطَانَةً مِّن دُونِكُمْ لاَ يَأْلُونَكُمْ خَبَالاً

O you who believe: do not take (!) بِطَانَةً | bi-tā-nah | an intimate friend other than those like you, لاَ يَأْلُونَكُمْ | lā-ya-‘-lū-na-kum | they will not fail to خَبَالاً | kha-bāl | corrupt you.

Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) has said in Sūrah 39:17-18

وَالَّذِينَ اجْتَنَبُوا الطَّاغُوتَ أَن يَعْبُدُوهَا وَأَنَابُوا إِلَى ﷲِ لَهُمُ الْبُشْرَى فَبَشِّرْ عِبَادِ

Announcement to those who اجْتَنَبُوا | ij-ta-na-bū | avoided الطَّاغُوتَ | at-tā-ghūt (whatever is worshipped to the exclusion of Allah) by not worshipping it and those who أَنَابُوا | a-nā-bū | returned (in repentance with sincere deeds) to Allah; for them is the good news; so announce good news to My servant.

الَّذِينَ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْقَوْلَ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ أَحْسَنَهُ أُوْلَئِكَ الَّذِينَ هَدَاهُمُ ﷲُ

Those who يَسْتَمِعُونَ | yas-ta-mi-ﻉū-na | listen to الْقَوْلَ | the word (the plan), فَيَتَّبِعُونَ | fa-yat-ta-bi-ﻉū-na | then they follow (the lifestyle of the plan that they follow is manifested into action) أَحْسَنَهُ | ah-sa-na-hu | the best of it (the word [the plan is the creation of Allah, it is the metaphorically speaking the hardware, i.e., The heavens, Earth, Water, Air and everything between. Humans are metaphorically speaking the software applications, at times Allah may allow our applications to run in the hardware [the universe]; however, it will not operate properly if it is not part of the ultimate destiny in Allah’s (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) plan, then we will come to a point where there is nothing we can do to function properly; that’s when it is time to turn to Allah in sincere repentance seeking forgiveness and get back on the straight track doing the good deeds that bring us into reconciliation with Allah’s plan) these are those that Allah has guided.

Looking ahead while restating a hadith commenting on those who are اتَّقَواْ رَبَّهُمْ | at-ta-qū-Rab-ba-hum | conscious of their Lord will haveغُرَفٌ مَّبْنِيَّةٌ فَوْقِهَا | faw-qi-hā-ghu-ra-fum-mab-niy-yah | lofty rooms built, the Messenger of Allah (ﺼﻠﻰ ﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻮ ﺴﻠﻢ) has said,

“In Paradise there are rooms whose inside can be seen from the outside, and outside can be seen from the inside for those who speak kindly, and feed the hungry.” Upon examination and reflection on the mind of Messenger of Allah (ﺼﻠﻰ ﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻮ ﺴﻠﻢ) we see a wise strategy directing the believer’s to turn their attention to being kind and doing humanitarian deeds as a means to earn Paradise.

At a recent Town Hall Meeting in Fort Myers, Florida, an unemployed secretary told the President of the United States and the Nation her personal story that she and her family were living out of her car and that they would like their own kitchen to eat out of and bathroom to go to. What should we do to address situations like this? We should care for the poor. Find those in need, sometimes all it takes is a random act of kindness to change people, emancipate those in bondage (mental enslavement), we can form giving circles to help those in debt bondage, is there anyone on our Block whose personal story fit into one of these categories?

Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) has said in Sūrah, 9:60

إِنَّمَا الصَّدَقَاتُ لِلْفُقَرَاء وَالْمَسَاكِينِ وَالْعَامِلِينَ عَلَيْهَا وَالْمُؤَلَّفَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَفِي الرِّقَابِ وَالْغَارِمِينَ وَفِي سَبِيلِ ﷲِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ فَرِيضَةً مِّنَ ﷲِ

Allah’s Messenger (ﺼﻠﻰ ﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻮ ﺴﻠﻢ) has said,

• Sadaqah should not be given to the wealthy or he who is physically fit.
• The needy person is not the one who goes around asking the people for a meal; some companions asked, O Messenger of Allah: who then is the needy person? He (ﺼﻠﻰ ﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻮ ﺴﻠﻢ) the one who does not have enough to satisfy his needs and whose conditions is not known to others, he may be given something in charity, and who does not beg people.
• Emancipate people and free those who are indentured servants.
• Those who are overcome by poverty.
• Needy travelers [These are obligations that we have to live by to qualify as believers/ followers of the excellent practices/sunnah of Prophet Muhammed (ﺼﻠﻰ ﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻮ ﺴﻠﻢ) therefore, I’m announcing the formation of New Africa Relief and Development Donors Conference at An-Nur Islamic Center with intentions of caring for the welfare of people in need.]
