Sweet words don't move me

Unless it's a melody of sincerity

Only to be known
When there is nothing to be gained
Just a kind gesture, not counting the leisure
Otherwise it's an aspartame drip
It'll destroy your inside despite lookin' like it's on your side
Sweet words don't soothe me
They've only proven to abuse me
I'll accept it only if the word is spun together in a verb
A mode of action that leads to others satisfaction
Consideration creates palpation
Thoughts directed in creating harmony for another
It's not about counting your thoughts
Tallying a debt to reveal what your actions are meant to suggest
The best comes with the test of time
Where you give; not to take
Yet receive more than you make
Sweet words ........ I've heard
True words ........ I yearn
.....................................Enough said, eh?

"Mahmuud ibn Labiid(RA) narrates that indeed Nabii(SAW) said:

There are two things that the son of Aadam dislikes:


Death, although death is better (for a believer) than trials (which endanger his faith); and scarcity of worldly belongings; and this scarcity of worldly belongigs results in less reckoning on the Day of Judgement.

[Musnad Ahmad]"

Now We Know ...

Only God will Judge us

So if you act the fool it's only on you
You can't escape the truth
So you might as well embrace the fruit
No point in spending your life fighting it
It's gonna rippen into a python; you're the only one hidin' it
We do it to ourselves, in our weakness we don't even realize
We dedicate our energy for ourselves when we sympathize

Yet shouldn't our sympathy be directed to our eternity?

What is it that keeps us forgetting this ain't the life where we're suppose to live it up

This is the life where we're suppose to give it up

Scarifice on every level equates to a gain on some specturm

Given up our desires that really don't aquire much happiness

For the life of a higher status, is actually the solution to life long success

The fear of letting it go, is what keeps us on death row
So now we know........ so now we know.......

Rich people less ethical, more likely to cheat and lie, study says

Isn't this interesting, makes you wonder that despite the fact that people have reached "success" according to social standards they are still not statisfied by it. They hold tight to greed for fear of loss. Interestingly enough, there was a man that walked around the world for 11 years and says that it was the poor that helped him. So then I wonder, and ask myself, if the successful have no regard for other than there own self to the degree of lying/cheating/stealing, are they really successful at all?... The poor don't need to fear poverty and thus are liberated from that fear that has the successful locked , stingy and internal unkept.



... hmm definitely something to think about! This comes to mind..

"So keep your duty to Allah and fear Him as much as you can; listen and obey; and spend in charity, that is better for yourselves. And whosoever is saved from his own covetousness, then they are the successful ones."

 (Quran 64-16)

Rich people less ethical, more likely to cheat and lie, study says

By Pierre Saint-Arnaud, The Canadian Press
The Canadian Press


MONTREAL - A new study says rich people are more likely to engage in unethical behaviour than their poorer counterparts — like cutting off motorists, lying in a negotiation and cheating to win a prize.

That's the finding from researchers at the University of California and the University of Toronto, published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America.

In two tests, researchers found that upper-class drivers were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks. The researchers used age, vehicle make and appearance to assess drivers' social class.

In another series of tests involving undergraduate students and adults, researchers found that those who considered themselves "upper class" were more likely to take valued items from others — including candy, even after they were told that whatever was left over would be given to children.

Others exhibited a greater willingness to lie during negotiations and cheat to increase their chances of winning a prize.

The authors of the study said the differences in ethical behavior can be explained, at least in part, by the upper-class participants' more favourable attitude toward greed.

"We found a trend that upper-class individuals — people that have the most money, the most income, the best education and the most prestigious job — have a tendency to engage in less ethical behaviour," said Stephane Cote, associate professor of organisational behaviour and psychology at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management.

"This doesn't mean that every rich person will behave less ethically than any less-rich person... But we found a tendency. So if you look across people in a variety of settings, the higher-class people tend to engage in more unethical behaviour."

But the authors also stressed that the trend is not universal, noting that there are many examples of ethical behaviour amongst more affluent people, such as philanthropic work. Cote cited examples of Bill Gates' and George Soros' philanthropy, or of corporate whistle-blowers who expose wrongdoing.

The authors also pointed out that unethical behavior is not absent from lower-class individuals, as has been demonstrated by numerous studies on the relationship between the concentration of poverty and violent crime.

"It's important to not jump to conclusions and to not think of this as a 100-per-cent correlation. (It's) like eating well and health," he said, stressing that while there might be a link between ethics and wealth, like good eating habits and good health, it's not automatic.

The findings in the tests conducted on undergraduates and adults were consistent across age, gender, ethnicity, religion and political orientation of the participants.

Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for those of understanding.

[Quran - 3:190]

Day and Night

How many times has the same reminder been passed on?

Through the signs of day and night

Changes in our daily condition within our sight

It doesn't serve to shake us?

It's so common; the appearance of wrinkles , pains or simply catching the sniffles

The sign of day and night

A constant change of our condition

Will we think to reflect or merely reject the simplicity of our reality?

It doesn't matter when the world ends

Our demise is written regardless if it bears hardship or a swift,subtle contend

The path thereafter is cold and dry

It's alone we lie

Though the fear on earth is that our LIFE seizes when we die

Is that really the fear of death, the lack of this life?

We all fear it....but why?

How do we compare the fear if denied entry for failure to sincerely try?

Will our recompense be torture for eternity?

How will we bear the the confrontation before our Master?

.... In the life of this world we were able to justify our desires

How will we testify when the proof against us comes from our self?

I dread the journey for my condition is unknown to me...

Everything else seems frivolous when I compare it to the sentencing of eternity

May we walk the straight path.... Ya Allah, bestow upon us your infinite Mercy!... AMEEN!

There you have it.. the music industry.. .. definite stench of evil

Whitney Houston’s Death and The Secret-Society, Called The Music Industry

Posted on February 12, 2012

I was asked by a family member, who knows I’m an occult researcher, to look into Whitney Houston’s death, as being a sacrifice. Now, I don’t usually do too many articles on the Illuminati and their connections with the music industry, because there are thousands of researchers that investigate this sort of thing, but when I looked into this one I figured it was worth sharing my opinions with the world.



Before I get into my research I want to say that I was a Whitney Houston fan and I never judged her as a crackhead, like many others. I know that it is strong people within the music industry and she was definitely one of them. She started out in the Choir and her first solo performance was “Guide Me O Thou Jehova”. Whitney was one of the few entertainers who got a record deal, because of her true talent and not because of connections and affiliations that she had. She paved the way, with her voice and image, for many diva’s that would come after her. Whitney is free from the body and free from the matrix, which means her mission here was complete.



Even though there is tons of research proving it, many people don’t believe that there is a secret society that controls the music and film industry. This is mostly due to ignorance and those people that make this claim are usually the ones who have done zero research into the topic. They simply make these statements because they don’t want to awaken from their celebrity dream world and that is ok. This is why the owners of the matrix put so much money and time into promoting celebrities, because the celebrities are the stars that keep the matrix alive to billions. Whitney Houston sold over 100 Million records and generated Billions of Federal Reserve notes (dollars), Euro’s, and pounds, for the world rulers. But more important than the money, Whitney Houston represented an image to the world and images in the matrix have to be controlled to their end.



I was in the music industry and anytime I involve myself in something I do research to see what I am getting myself into. When I did my research on the music industry I found out that there are 3 major labels that own the Industry and all of the smaller labels within it. These labels are Sony, Universal, and Warner Brothers. Now, what most people don’t realize is that these record labels are all owned by certain Elite families. Just because a company is a publicly traded one doesn’t mean that it can’t be privately owned. A publicly traded company is broken down into three parts, bonds, preferred stocks, and common stocks. A corporation is issued bonds from a bank and it then begins to invest into itself with the banker money. The stocks are issued out,first to the preferred stockholders, and then the general public gets a shot at investing into the stocks, as common stock holders.



A corporation is simply a vehicle, called an artificial person in law, that is used to move finance from one place to the next. The bond holders are the true owners of the corporation and as I said above the bond holders are bankers. It is common knowledge that the global Elite run the world through the practice of banking, which is rooted in lending. The Rothschild family are the money manipulators and masters who control banking in Europe and the Rockafeller’s control banking here in the Corporate U.S. Thus, at the end of the day the entertainment industry is controlled and owned by the bankers, just like every other industry.



Everything that takes place in public is first planned in private through secret societies. This is the way the world has always worked and the music industry is no exception to this. Before a entertainer is given a recording contract they must first be a member of a secret society. A so called X member of the Illuminati, who was a music executive in the 70’s spoke about this publicly, his name was John Todd. According to Todd, every musician and entertainer in the music industry and Hollywood, has to be a initiated wizard or witch before they are offered a recording contract. This is what some writers have called the selling of the soul or light to Lucifer. In his speeches John Todd further demonstrates that after the record is cut and the master is finished, it is then given to a coven of witches and wizards who conjure up a demon. Once the demon is conjured the witches and wizards ask the entity to attach itself to every copy or duplicate that is sold to the public, which guarantees the success of the record and also takes control of the listener. If you want to research Todd’s work in full I have all of his recorded material on MP3 and would be glad to send it to you. (Email me at 13signsastrology@gmail.com)







The point I am making above is that the music industry is a cult and once one gets a record deal they are now an initiate and are a part of the cult for life. Whitney Houston was no exception to this rule and she took the oath back in the 70’s. Once the oath is pledged you become the property of the record labels and the machines and you can NEVER retire. The only way out of the game is death! If you think I’m lying, please email me with one entertainer who has successfully retired from the industry, never to come back again. There is no way out.



Whitney Houston reached the peak of her career in 1992 when she starred in the film Body Guard, with Kevin Costner. If you notice all of the big entertainers have to do a film when they reach their peak so that they can generate more capital for their masters aka the label. Whitney had a pristine image, for the most part, and this is why many, including myself, respected her. In her music and even in the Body Guard film she played the type of person she was in real life. Little did Whitney know that the people that control the industry love to breakdown the image of pure and clean folks and this is exactly what they set out to do after the Body Guard film. She later starred in Waiting To Exhale and Cinderella, but information began to leak that she was often late for interviews and a no show sometimes. This was around the same time she met and would eventually marry Bobby Brown.







You see, in the music industry nothing happens without the consent of the label and Whitney meeting and marrying Bobby Brown was no different. The life of an entertainer doesn’t stop when the cameras go off, the entertainment spills over into your personal life, because as I said above, when you sign the deal you are now the property of the labels. The labels allowed Whitney to Marry Bobby Brown and if one does any investigation they will see that her life began to go downhill shortly after. Now I’m not blaming Bobby for Whitney’s fall, because he took the oath and made a deal with the goat just like her, so I believe they used Bobby to make Whitney’s life more interesting and to begin to tarnish her image. Like I said the music industry is not for those who are pure at heart and Whitney was a pure soul indeed! The labels knew what kind of person Bobby was and they knew he would be a good pick for their goals with Whitney. So, the labels began to work rituals based on Bobby and Whitney’s relationship, remember everybody in the game aka the industry plays a part even when the cameras go off.



Whitney Houston stated in her interview with Oprah in 2010 that she was attracted to Bobby because he, “took control of her and their relationship, and she liked that.” In reality Bobby was acting as Whitney’s handler, which is a term used in mind control. A handler is one who is used within a mind control experiment to break another and to get them to do what the controllers of the experiment want, this was Bobby’s role. The labels wanted to spice up Whitney’s life aka destroy her pristine image, which they had been targeting since she got into the industry. You may wonder why they would want to do a thing like this, but if you’re not in the industry then you can’t imagine how diabolical the people are who run the show. These people thrive on drama, sex, violence, and drugs. As they say, sex sales! Entertainers are products of the elite and they are treated as such, they (The Elite) don’t give a shit about human values morals and the likes. The people that are behind the scenes are master witches and wizards and their goals are constant control and power.



Whitney Houston was addicted to cocaine and she became infamous for this habit. You have to ask you’re self why was she addicted to cocaine, because from a metaphysical point of view, people that use drugs are using them to cover up something. According to her 2010 interview with Oprah, Whitney said, “Bobby would draw eyes all over their home.” Could these be the all seeing eye that depicts Lucifer’s eye within the occult. I already proved above that these people are witches and wizards. She further states that, “Bobby was her drug”, which further proves that she was using the drugs as an escape from her life with Bobby. Whitney wasn’t happy with herself and the way her life was ending up and in the same interview with Oprah she even referred to herself as “the devil.”



According to Bobby Brown’s sister, who would go on drug binges with the couple, “Whitney hallucinates and sees demons when she’s high; she bites and beats herself black-and-blue but blames the devil for the injuries.” Bobby’s sister Tina goes on to say that, Houston sees ‘demons’ everywhere she goes, and beats herself up while saying “The Devil be hitting me.” Tina claimed that drugs have made Whitney so paranoid she sees evil apparitions and once drilled a spy-hole in her bathroom to look for “demons.” She said: “She’ll point to the floor and say, ‘See that demon. I’m telling you somebody’s messing with Bobby.’ She always thinks it’s something to do with Bobby.” She added: “She breaks everything – mirrors, phones, cabinets, appliances.”Now, ask yourself, what’s really going on within the music industry? Is it just drugs or was Whitney demon possessed? Why are all of these celebs hooked on drugs and why are all of these celebs dying young?







Whitney was of no use to the industry anymore because as many of you know she couldn’t sing the way she use to. The drugs and the demons drained her life force, because Whitney was pure and wasn’t built for demonology. Whitney was sacrificed aka thrown from the freedom train, and done away with a day before the Grammy’s as a industry ritual. She was found dead in a bath tub within the hotel of Clive Davis Pre- Grammy Awards party. This was a ritual, just like every other aspect of Whitney’s life. Whitney was born on August the 9th and died on February 11th. (9-11) 9-11 is a numerical code used by the elite to perform human sacrifice rituals and Whitney’s death was no exception. She died a night before the Grammy’s because within the occult one can harness the energy of the deceased to attain the ends of their choice. Whitney’s energy will be used for the awards tonight and this is why the media jumped all over her death before the cause was even discovered. This is a ritual folks.



My last piece of information that I will submit, about the occult connections to the music industry, is Madonna’s performance at the Super Bowl. This performance, by Madonna, was a High priestess ceremony. The costume worn by Madonna speaks volumes as to her rank with the secret society within the music industry. Madonna was interviewed, prior to the Super Bowl, on Anderson Cooper show and she said, “The Superbowl is kind of like the Holy of Holies in America. I’ll come at halfway of the “church experience” and I’m gonna have to deliver a sermon. It’ll have to be very impactful. Don’t take her words for granite, as she is telling you that her performance was a ritual. The Holy of Holy’s is the name of the most sacred place found within Solomon’s Temple. No one was ever permitted to enter the Holy of Holies but the High Priest. This privilege was only granted on the Day of Atonement, to offer the blood of sacrifice and incense before the mercy seat. Whitney Houston was the Blood sacrifice that was offered on the Sabbath day, or Saturday, exactly 7 days after Madonna’s performance.







So there you have it folks. The music industry is really a secret society in disguise and it’s much more than music. If you’re considering being an entertainer do your research and know what you’re getting yourself into. Without knowledge of the occult one doesn’t stand a chance of surviving within the music and film industry. If you enjoy your own self expression and individuality then the industry isn’t for you. Once the deal is made your life will be ritualized and controlled forever.

Truth needs no defense
Standing in it's place is our fitra, hence ..
You may cut me where it hurts most
But falsehood remains your host
My account is before Allah subhanahu wa'tala alone
What's worse than the lie upon another ...
Is the belief within oneself supporting, justifying slandering others
But the examples and the experience have been passed on
If Ayesha (radiullahu anha) was to bear such a trial, the reality of man lives on
It's disheartening no matter which angle I look at it
I shake my head and wonder how the soul of man can rest at night
How do you live with yourself, when you go against what's right?
I don't understand, nor do is there benefit in trying
My tests have come and I pray by His Mercy I keep standing
Searching for truth bears an ugly reality
Life of falsehood encompasses us as the majority walk blindly

May He the Most Merciful, Compassionate, All Knowing, All Aware, Mighty Lord, Master of All things, Ruler of the Day of Judgement.. MAY HE, Guide us to His Pleasure, make us among the truthful, forgive us for our wrongs, and allow to understand the true reality of life and our actions.... AMEEN, Ya Rabi.. AMEEN!!

"Do they think that they will be left alone on saying, 'We believe and that they will not be tested'? For sure we will test them as we have tested those who came before them, to show (them) the truthful of the honest and the liars in their falsehood."

[Quran 29:2-3]

A Sin that Leads to Jannah...

Our Hearts are distracted- Abu Taubah

All Matters Return to HIM

It's not meant to be apparent by attire
The beloved Messenger (peace be upon him) wore those clothes
But it can't be seen a symbol of piety
In this day and age, it's only intention that will determine the faith behind it
'Submission' fears being worn on the sleeve, just to be seen
Can't claim to love if you don't choose to live
Anyone can rock a thobe or a kufi ; doesn't signify sincerity
The heart remains a mystery
But actions speak when tests draw out the weak
It's not for one to judge another
Hypocrisy isn't just a disease of our brother
In us may be the the same cover
Repentance is a step in the right direction
Cleansing the heart to commence the forming of a truthful relation
One with our Lord and all that He has prescribed
For us to LIVE ISLAM, for us to abide
There's no pleasure in disobedience
The heart feels it when shaytaan gets near him
I can't get past this feeling
That I really don't know the condition of any being
Looking but what am I suppose to be seeing?
There's no safe pattern
It seems though, that a believer makes truth happen ...
I've yet to determine how
The reality remains that the decision isn't mine anyway
All matters are Decided by Him, I submit and pray it's comfort and truth , one Pleasing to Him that comes my way

And be not like those who forgot Allah (i.e. became disobedient to Allah) and He caused them to forget their ownselves, (let them to forget to do righteous deeds). Those are the Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah)

.[Quran 59:19]

Like it or Not!

My sisters I write this because I keep hearing the same riff
I'm going to say it as it is, so please take a breath in the name of understanding and not emotional standings
Many sisters start to trip when their man says .. "hey I'm looking ..."
"Looking?" she says, as though she doesn't quite know
"Yes, looking for number two!" he replies as though it's was in scripted in their lives
She's taken a back and it starts ...
Wife number one thinks she's not good enough
Wife number two thinks she's his dream come true
Perhaps you didn't know this so let me clarify ...
If he could'a married all four at once he would have
If he could go past four you better believe he'd try
It's not because he's a "dog" like society likes to say
It's the nature of man, God just made him this way
Just as a woman, we can't help to feel a pinch of jealousy
We're a lioness defending our territory
But the truth remains we're created to comfort and console
Not to dictate and control
The Laws have been laid
He gets up to four, and each should be paid
Paid in equality; shelter, clothes, food; the bare necessities
For a man if he really saw to the needs of his woman/women, there would be little room for insecurity
Somewhere it all got messed up...
He decided she'll work nine to five, pants and scarf that will have to be modest enough and that it's fair her rights she gives up
But for him, it's a matter of sin and so he asks that she toughens up
Justice is prescribed upon us all
Look within yourself before you all decide it's worth another family brawl
Success at its best is being selfless in nature
If everyone just decided they'd be concerned sincerely for each others akhira
If they both made it about their duty before their Lord
It would all be in sync
No one would feel disloyalty, no one would be hurt for they understand their unity....
All bases would be covered
Just the three of them or maybe five ... they'll work it all out with their Iman burning high!
Why choose to give it all up?
There's Shirk in loving beyond what Allah has chosen for us
Polgyny is our belief and we are obliged to submit
Not through an ultimatum for our hearts are known to Him
No man is worth giving up your place in the akhira, for the home of the rebellious is the heat of His Promise
Submit, so He will admit
And forget not your worth, for no woman will be the same as you no matter how you cut it up, he'll love and respect your loyal support more than any extra comfort!
Don't consider it competition, this is our way, our complete submission

Polygny is a concept that has existed and still exists in other cultures and religions before the advent of Islam. The only difference is Islam sets limits and rights for the women invovled.

Don't be a hater just 'cause your ego feels threatened........ just keeping it real!

'Abdullah reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: It is obligatory for you to tell the truth, for truth leads to virtue and virtue leads to Paradise, and the man who continues to speak the truth and endeavours to tell the truth is eventually recorded as truthful with Allah, and beware of telling of a lie for telling of a lie leads to obscenity and obscenity leads to Hell-Fire, and the person who keeps telling lies and endeavours to tell a lie is recorded as a liar with Allah.

Muslim :: Book 32 : Hadith 6309

. . . ?

Count your blessings before they're all gone, stressing ain't worth having when it's all in the name of "fun". Forced to look deeper for the reality of life has stung. Where does the path of success lead; we question yet we've have not even begun. Driving in random directions; to our lowly desires we have succumb. The beat of the the beast within; echoing on our tongues. The theft of a thief in bright daylight; our dignity is numb. Robbed and rapped by a chosen fate, stripped by our inability or desire to equip. Or maybe the times are such where we're just all "whipped". Controlled masses, dancing like dervish training classes. In a state of hypnosis, no one seeing how we're on the cold shift, the last bit, frozen by past occurrences we're an ice stick. Every sin that existed we're holdin', yet we think we're rolling. Yelling "I've got the right *beep* ". Never mind vulgar it's a heart in contempt, arrogance its friend. Deception lies in the lives we call free, yet chained by our own lack of integrity or sincerity. Honor and dignity, basic morals and principals a concept only known as piety, a choice made only when in dire need.Maybe, if we can rise above our greed? How did we come to bleed such an evil existence? How do we sleep when we're harvesting our own resistance? Pray hard for we're losing the purpose of our existence......

"The optimist is the one who sees opportunities in their difficulties and the pessimist is the one who sees difficulties in their opportunities".

The difference between a man and a woman..

A man will start something but often doesn't know how to finish....

... a woman on the other hand may appear to finish but never quite stop

So men if you ever give your woman a gift then make sure it's a complete package with love, meaning and HER in mind. Women, when you accept the gift then finish it by appreciating and stop there. Do not continue and go on about about how it wasn't finished right (ie. no thought, odd show of love, or lack of HER in mind [too much of HIM in the gift])

-ME

Age of Entitlement...

I really dislike the phrases "I'mah get mine" or "get yours"

What made you entitled to anything?

Haven't you realized nothing belongs to you ?

It all belongs to the Almighty

So while you're "getting yours" you're neglecting your core; your duty out the door

You ain't entitled to heaven

Just 'cause you say you believe, doesn't mean you earned your seat

The seeker will be granted what it's after

You'll regret how "yours" got you locked out of a blissful hereafter

It's not about getting what you THINK you deserve

It's about striving, about keeping your duty, understanding your responsibility

Begging and pleading for His Mercy, while purifying yourself for your soul's eternity

The reality is we've been brained washed

And what is, isn't actually reality

So we continue thinking that we're making it while maintaining our piety

Got rap songs singing our emotions

When it's feeding us poisons

Man's destruction comes from his own greed

Not satisfied even if he's roofed, clothed and harvesting obesity's seed

Gifted with education and riches of a '1st World Nation'

Yet he's still pushing to "get his"

............the age of entitlement

cash flow moves all around me ..........

Greeeeed, got the betta of me

I'mah chase it even if I lose my own dignity

I gotta get my mines foo', cause that what I was taught

"Dolla dolla billz y'all...........it's hell I bought, for the life of this world I fought.........now I rot....

.

..........tsssssssss...........

You can't find love nor buy love
It isn't in an instant spark - it is only gifted from above
The reality is true love is not an emotion, it's a state of mind
You can only develop it when you understand it
Understanding can only be established with time
For memories of moments aren't enough to form an inscription
It takes trial and sincere sacrificing to earn such a lofty position
If love were to be reached merely by a greeting
We'd find little animosity or hurting
That's only a characteristic of heaven; a blissful eternal abode
Of which "peace be upon you" is exclaimed with affection, with a sincere hold
Love seems to be that ever sought after commodity
Everyone in search of "love" through some type of "click" reaction
How'd that ever work out? It takes a soul content in a state of satisfaction
Boils down to true appreciation
Controlled by ethics and values of our creation
Find one that speaks to your soul by their role
Deal with their shortcomings by reminding yourself of the goodness they hold
For no being is perfect
Their perfection lies in the realization that that's how they're created
Point being is, flaws we all have ... that's inevitable
As long as your soul isn't constantly fighting to stay whole
You've got yourself a time precious pearl forming into gold...

Money doesn't talk ... it just whines

At what point did we get it all so confused?

Instead of money being a source of assistance

It has become a source of our existence

What would be the sense in creating for the purpose of maintaining?

Surely our purpose isn't to secure such a temporary fortress?

There has to be more to this....

Yet we run in rings chasing our tails

Making an effort yet we continue to fail

For our duty and our mission remains simply through Submission

To Him who Created us from dust, said "BE" and it is

The One Alone, not in need anything, Aware of everything

But still this knowledge, this truth, some how keeps getting twisted

The whispers that are whispered keep enticing us to invest in our lusts

Foolish enough even when God PROMISES an increase we plan our own decrease

Just doesn't make any sense

Wealth is gifted not attained

Wealth is released for purpose in due measure to ensure we are saved

Tested through the dollar or lack of;  just means we need to let go and submit

Does it really matter? If He Provides what's all the clatter?

Our role remains that we make an effort our goal proclaims that we rely solely on He who is Perfect

"Do they not know that Allah enlarges the provision for whom He wills, and straitens it (for whom He wills). Verily, in this are signs for the folk who believe!" Quran 39:52

"Observe your limits"!! -- reminder for us all!

It's gotta go back to basics

Take it all off, drop it all down

Quit the races

It's rooted in you; with pure intentions guidance is found

People after one another

Nit picking, thumb flicking, air stinking

It's an open mouth, in a drought

Trying to be replenished but you've got your thoughts caught with the devil

Trying to understand, truth in your effort reflects your stance

And it all goes back down to basics

Every question, every reply will come from simplicity , with a tear in your eye

It's really all that simple

But the devil takes his seat upon every lying victim

That's our social standing we're all caught up in the corrupt system

Morality lost , ethics comes last and our understanding of life and death is mismatched

Trying to balance this extreme perception

So even at our finest we're weakened in our own deception

We excuse our stagnation

Blame our inability to keep up with our natural inclination

Shame over shameless ...

Need I remind us

Social change remains a reflection

If we don't have it right inside it's gonna be tight outside

But we won't ever piece the puzzle

Until we realize the basics rule our lives

And if we just focus our energy on correcting and implementing truth will be clear and will easily turn away the stench of falsehood as it's fermenting

....... yah, there I go venting ..

On the authority of Aboo `Abdillaah an-Nu`maan the son of Basheer (radiAllaahu 'anhumaa), who said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) say:

That which is lawful is clear and that which is unlawful is clear, and between the two of them are doubtful matters about which many people do not know. Thus he who avoids doubtful matters clears himself in regard to his religion and his honour, but he who falls into doubtful matters [eventually] falls into that which is unlawful, like the shepherd who pastures around a sanctuary, all but grazing therein. Truly every king has a sanctuary, and truly Allaah's sanctuary is His prohibitions. Truly in the body there is a morsel of flesh, which, if it be whole, all the body is whole, and which, if it is diseased, all of [the body] is diseased. Truly, it is the heart.

The Command to shun Shirk and lying -Ibn Kathir

Quran 22:30 That and whoever honors the sacred things of Allah, then that is better for him with his Lord. The cattle are lawful to you, except those (that will be) mentioned to you. So shun the Rijs of the idols, and shun false speech.

The Command to shun Shirk and Lying
Allah says:

So shun the Rijis of the idols, and shun false speech.
From this it is clear what Ar-Rijs means, i.e., avoid the abomination, which means idols. Shirk is mentioned in conjunction with false speech, as in the Ayah:

Say: "(But) the things that my Lord has indeed forbidden are;

• Al-Fawahish (immoral sins) whether committed openly or secretly,
• sins (of all kinds),
• unrighteous oppression,
• joining partners with Allah for which He has given no authority, and
• saying things about Allah of which you have no knowledge''. (7:33)

This includes bearing false witness.
In the Two Sahihs it was reported from Abu Bakrah that the Messenger of Allah said:
أَ
Shall I not tell you about the worst of major sins?
We said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah.''
He said: Associating others with Allah, disobeying one's parents.
He was reclining, then he sat up and said: and indeed giving false statements, and indeed bearing false witness...
and he kept on repeating it until we wished that he would stop.''
Imam Ahmad recorded that Khuraym bin Fatik Al-Asadi said,
"The Messenger of Allah prayed As-Subh (Al-Fajr), and when he had finished, he stood up and said:

Bearing false witness is on a par with the association of others with Allah.
Then he recited this Ayah: ...
So shun the Rijs of the idols, and shun lying speech. Hunafa' Lillah, not associating partners unto Him;
Allah says:

Hunafa' Lillah,
means, sincerely submitting to Him Alone, shunning falsehood and seeking the truth.
Allah says: not associating partners unto Him;
Then Allah gives a likeness of the idolator in his misguidance and being doomed and being far away from true guidance, and says: and whoever assigns partners to Allah, it is as if he had fallen from the sky,
meaning, the birds caught him in midair,for the wind had thrown him to a far off place.
means, remote and desolate, dangerous for anyone who lands there.

Hence it says in the Hadith of Al-Bara':
When the angels of death take the soul of the disbeliever in death, they take his soul up to the heaven, but the gates of heaven are not opened for him; on the contrary, his soul is thrown down from there.
Then he recited this Ayah.
The Hadith has already been quoted in our explanation of Surah Ibrahim.
Allah gives another parable of the idolators in Surah Al-An`am, where He says:

Say:
"Shall we invoke others besides Allah, that can do us neither good nor can harm us, and shall we turn back on our heels after Allah has guided us -- like one whom the Shayatin have made to go astray in the land in confusion, his companions calling him to guidance (saying): `Come to us.'''
Say: "Verily, Allah's guidance is the only guidance.'' (6:71)

Exaggerated State

How did exaggeration become so day-to-day?
I catch myself doing it, embedded into our daily speech
The phrases we say, like "I've done it a million times today?"
Really? No, not literally but that's how it ends up to be
What is, isn't actuality
Even within our own being it's a hard catch to see
How did truth get distorted so dangerously
Where we've said it so many times we're convinced it's part of our reality
Like, "I'm trying my best..."
Oh yah ...
If that's the case then you fail in patience for you just complained
For "my best" becomes an excuse; exaggerated and strained
Yet for some reason we're convinced
That amidst our test we should raise our flags and give up
The battle internally rages, it's fire fumes in stages
And instead of humbling ourselves we become engulfed in fluff
The fuzzy-ness that we choose to describe our state of mind
The exaggerated phrases and over the top lines
Keep us mentally deluded or in stress arrogance can find
I suffer no less than the rest in my confusion
Steps to reform I've been told come from acknowledgment and confession
Corrections greatest enemy is the concept of realization
So I question....... how did our speech become so loose?
Where did we come up with the phrases we use?
Does it reflect a reality or is it just what society will approve?
.........I question, come walk with me in this mental concession

Lunar Eclipse

During the Jaahiliyyah, people used to believe that eclipses happened to mark the birth or death of a great person, but the Messenger of Allaah SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) declared this belief to be false and explained the divine wisdom behind the occurrence of eclipses:


Imaam al-Bukhaari and Muslim narrated that Ibn Mas’ood al-Ansaari said: “the sun was eclipsed the day Ibraaheem the son of the Messenger of Allaah SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) died, and the people said, ‘The sun is eclipsed because of the death of Ibraaheem.’ The Messenger of Allaah SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘The sun and the moon are two signs from Allaah, and they do not become eclipsed for the death or the birth of anyone. If you see that, hasten to remember Allaah and to pray.’”

----
Allaah causes eclipses to happen to these two mighty signs, the sun and the moon, to teach His slaves and show them that these things are created and are subject to imperfections and changes just like any other created entities. Thus He shows them His perfect ability and that He alone is deserving of worship, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And from among His Signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Prostrate yourselves not to the sun” nor to the moon, but prostrate yourselves to Allaah Who created them, if you (really) worship Him”

(Fussilat 41:37)


“It is He Who made the sun a shining thing and the moon as a light and measured out for it stages that you might know the number of years and the reckoning. Allaah did not create this but in truth. He explains the Ayaat in detail for people who have knowledge.” [Yoonus 10:5]

ADMIN [R.S] - Author/compilation Unknown

Some people want it all.... I just don't wanna fall......(in the pit of hell, May He Forgive and Protect us..Ameen)

Don't need to be organized just need to be clean

Don't need to be wealthy just need to be heedful of your duty before Allah and the rights over you

Don't need to be educated but need to be hardworking

Don't need to have extensive Islamic knowledge but need to practice what you know and desire to keep increasing

Don't need to be popular or well known but the company you keep needs to be among those that truly remember the Meeting with their Lord

Don't need to be articulate but need to do what you say and give weight to your words
Don't need to be interesting just need to be true (ie not exaggerate/attention seekers at any expense/negative)
Don't need to be rich but need to control desires and spend within your means

Dont need to own a house but need to consciously choose to not want to battle Allah (ie be involved in interest)

Don't need to have it all but need not waste what you have

Don't need to be a comedian/joker but need to know how to smile and be Pleased with the blessings you are given

Don't need to have charm but need to have good manners

Dont need to be perfect but need to be truthful to constantly be striving towards perfection

Love = Show it... share it

The beauty of HONESTY ...

Logic entails that the louder one is the better the listener can hear. However, in actuality it's the whisper that has the listener's attention. Despite passion behind words, it takes the whisper's breeze to effect the mind for violent winds only trigger an automatic in-built storm board installation

- me

I just want a simple man that wants Jannah

Truly, sincerely loves the truth and holds it down like a solja'

I'm tired of all 'em jokers

Bearded or not

Whethre it's a thobe and a kufi you rock

Doesn't mean you love the deen

It just means you love the clean that you're in

And I can't seem to judge it

Where's the middle line in all of it?

I'm not talking about perfection by no means am I that selection

I'm just talking about sincere

I really do wanna make it there

I need him that's struggling and not constantly trying to find loop holes

Trying to use the religion to justify lowly desires, poor decisions, or a weak role

I don't need that

Just straight goods - keep it real - strive 'til death makes you alive

It takes dedication and hard work to make anything work

But you gotta be true to the cause otherwise you're another clause

There's this fine print I seem to always miss

The one that says I come before anyone else, ya hear me miss?

Yah I'm hearing you, another " I - own , I - matter, I - don't care as long I got what I need, I - I - I "

I'M TIRED OF IT!

The selfish putting claim as the righteous

Haven't you heard..?

....   "So keep your duty to Allah and fear Him as much as you can; listen and obey; and spend in charity, that is better for yourselves. And whosoever is saved from his own covetousness, then they are the successful ones." (Quran 64-16)

I'm a lil militant in my thinking
That doesn't mean I'm down with killing
Though I don't support the bully's beating
And suggest you abort the mentality by rising above his insecurity ..

I'm actually talking about the concept of our Owner
If we understand our position in relation to the Creator
We'll learn to understand, "I hear and obey"
Not neglecting the lil things
For the Pleasure of Creator is only to be attained by submitting to His Commands
And by that it means if your tie is silk you need to use it for your curtain instead of your noose
If your abaya is tight you need to get a new size that's loose
If your money is right you gotta let it go and purify
If your can't afford to be ballin' you better take a step back and give the bank a slap
If you wanna be living right the only solution is to fight the fight
Weapons are knowledge used to increase in good deeds, with righteousness in sight
Losers are us that choose to submit to the pressure of society
Who are we trying please? Let's correct the mentality
Freedom is in submission
And submission is understanding the relation between creation to His Master
Owner of all, we beg of your Mercy, in prostration we fall....
Ya Allah Forgive us all.. Ameen!

 'Abdullaah bin Mas'ood:

 "Accept the truth even if it's conveyed to you by a layman or someone you dislike. And shun the lie even if it's conveyed to you by someone you love and respect."

The Great Deception

Instead of saying "I'm lazy" we say "I'm busy"
Instead of saying "I'm broke" we say "I'm simple"
Instead of saying "I'm sorry" we say "It wasn't me!"
Instead of saying "I'm fat" we say "I'm curvy or thick"
Instead of saying "I'm weak" we say "Life is short, live it up"
Instead of saying "I'm selfish" we say "It's my life"

Instead of counting our blessing we say "Why is God trying to punish me?"

Instead of aiming towards bettering ourselves we say "I am who I am"

Instead of speaking the truth we say "I'm using discretion for the GREATER good"

Instead of rising to the test we say "Life is hard, I'm depressed"

Instead of controlling our tongue we say "I'm independent, I have my own opinions"

Instead of not being wasteful with our money we say "It's mine, I can do what I want"

Instead of upholding our responsibilities we say "hey it's more than I had"

Instead of looking at our own faults we say "did you see what such and such did?"

Instead of admitting our wrongs we say "you don't understand"

Instead of being happy we say "if only I had ..."

Instead of building lives we're breaking down ourselves

The deception lies within us first regardless of how religious we look, how often we pray, or how much people like us

If we don't learn to confess to the reality of our state

We'll be left dumbfounded by the promise of our eternal resting place

It starts now

It starts with our self

It stays there and the rest will come; clear and sincere (Insha'Allah)

Truth and Justice they go hand in hand
The weapon of a warrior
Obeys on command
By righteousness does he stand
Upright,even if it be against himself
Steadfast in patience, encompassed by true wealth
"Who is it that could be an army for you to aid you other than the Most Merciful?" (Quran - 67:20)
I implore you to question the purpose of creation
Step first by internal investigation
Time is ticking
Minds are sticking
Know maintaining truth and justice is part of the test
It's not just bowing your head but upholding what's best
Fear none but the One Witnessing
You are the witnessed
Stay steadfast and be blessed! (Insha'Allah)

Pray Hard!! *

Don't sell your soul to the devil - you need not
God will Provide, but you forgot
No need to doubt that!
Worshipping the ideas of social standing, how is that?
Don't lower your standard to thinking success if found in that
You got gold don't turn it in for what fools hold
Turn your mind back to Him and do as you're told
Don't be a coward to your soul
Times are getting harder, we're slippin' unless we keep it tight like coal
Burn our flesh but we remain whole
Worship He Alone and forgo the chase ; it's a hard roll
I feel the tension when I see what society has chose
I try to keep it real but it's hard knowing where this trial goes
Pray for my progeny and my own soul to know
Dear God, All Power and Might belong to you Alone
Make us firm, for I know we ain't got the strength to get through this even full grown
It's a struggle to see truth from lie
To stand up against what most question, "why?"
Livin' in times foretold; I'm feeling it
My heart is shook, I'm seeing it
I'm afraid I may overlook
O' Master, The One, make us firm, teach us, strengthen us by Your Book
Don't let us sell our soul to devil
Who has us worshipping ideas or making moves that are only socially driven

Keep it real, pray hard, these times are a given ...

My Sweettooth

You get the box mix

And you get the 'made from scratch' fix

One's about quantity

The other is about quality

I'm looking for the 'original recipe' type

Not the made from a box hype

At first glance and at first taste they both seem fine
But after some time ...
You get a taste of fake in the 'ready made' make
It's not about the icing or the sprinkles
'Cause when it rains that's the first that disappears
It's gotta be made with the right substance for it to remain as it appears
The one worth your while will be known at first bite
But it'll only allow a select few; the committed within its right
It's about integrity and standard

It's about it's natural purpose vs fast and worthless

One is after truth and the other is after attention

I'm after the one with sincere dedication

The most expensive and the best of it's kind

Is a tasty and finely crafted find
That's the type I'm looking for ; the rare score
That I'm willing greet it's worth with my core
Beautiful to me
For the truth within it, is all I'll see!

Anyone who complains about the test life has brought

Has done themselves two wrongs . . .

They've lost the lesson the test has taught

And they've lost the blessings meant to be sought

There's no other opportunity in life to grow the way you grow through a test

It's hard road is designed to make us our best

There's this incredible beauty behind it

Such as, our capacity is known to Him Alone, although many times we choose to deny it

Yet in it's midst we're humbled to realize

Where our priorities truly lie

Sometimes it takes hypocrisy within to break us, before it is able to make us

Other times we can clearly recognize the signs and rise against the dust

Often when the wind blows over and we catch a glimpse of our reflection

We find ourselves staring back at a different state of creation

If we understood patience is enjoining good regardless of the emotions attached

Then we're staring back at a polished diamond, cleansed, without any scratch

If we choose to take what appears the easy way out, where whispers and emotions dictate our road

Then we're staring back at a diamond discolouring, losing it's clarity; it's value no longer does it hold

At the end of the day, if you choose to to contemplate you'll realize where the benefit lies

And you'll force yourself to submit and sincerely try

..... There's good in all, just keep your cup half full

At some point in life every being will fall

The point is to turn back to Him, Who Controls all

He Knows despite what others say

He's got you covered - make today, a new day!

SEEKING REFUGE FROM EVILS AS-SAHEEHAH (no. 3137):

Imaam at-Tabaraanee reported in „ad-Du`aa·‟ (3/1425/1339) from a hadeeth of Aboo Hurairah -
radiyallaahu 'anhu - who said:

"From his  supplications was:

[O Allaah! I seek Your refuge from having an evil neighbour, and from having a wife who turns my hair grey before the time of grey hair, and from having a child who is a lord over me, and from wealth which becomes a punishment upon me, and from having a close friend who is deceitful: whose eye watches me and his heart is mindful of me: such that if he sees something good from me he conceals it, and if he sees something evil from me he broadcasts it.]"

[Shaikh al-Albaanee -rahimahullaah- said: "This chain of narration is good..."]
