It's NEVER enough..

It's never enough...
Haven't you noticed
Dude can have a BMW but still wants the Ferrari
Can have the nicest, sweetest, hottest wife or two but still wants another
Can have shoes to match every outfit but it's not enough
Can watch every movie and go to every show, but still needs to be entertained
Can have the world but it's never enough...
The wealthy ones have yet to find true success
Gratitude is the only tool for happiness
This never ending wheel of materialism; a tiring form of socialism
It's all made in China, name brands are only designed to pacify the material mind
The hearts that yearn for the best marketed....... where is the cut off point of "best", the price tag?
Competition is not about quality, it's not even about quantity any more
It's just boredom..... empty hearts, empty minds can never be filled with the tangible and its likes
Show me someone that's earned satisfaction through their possessions?
The only form of comfort wealth brings is the lack of worry about paying the bills...
Well....even that, greed causes man to surpass that, so much so even the richest are broke like a joke, bankrupt dressed in Armani's latest
How about the 'average joe'.. the one that doesn't have so much money to blow?
Whom "mediocre" entertainment (tv), never seems to satisfy
That explains why millions watch murder and decapitation of a human; how sick are humans that their desires have caused them to find pleasure evil?
It's this on-going road......now it's just gross....
Can't even be satisfied with the opposite gender ..
Liberated they say?
Captivated by the emptiness inside
It seems it's just never enough
When will we draw the line and just be happy with what we have
Stop the chase
Stop the rat race
Just be pleased for we are on top of the food chain
Our greatest enemy is ourselves...
Paradise is awaiting us through His Mercy, our Gratitude; a noble gain!
May we be among the ones who's marked with a righteous name.. Ameen

"Penny for your thoughts"...

"Penny-pinching" is a social term derived for the purpose of allowing ones nafs/desires free access to wasteful spending habits. By allowing anything to hold a negative connotation the reverse of it implies one is doing "good" therefore the conscious can be at ease. There are many such cases implementing this social mentality (deluding oneself from the reality of their affairs) that in fact is leading to the destruction of our familial and societal units. Social justification is not a standard of correctness......... it's just.............. a bunch'a - - - - (hmm?)



"Tie Your Camel"

Tie your camel gurl in any direction
It doesn't really matter, as long as you aim for perfection
It's not upon you to facilitate or regulate
You're only accountable for your mind, body and soul
Do your duty and withhold the need to control
Each being faces their own fate




Direct your being to those that stimulate
The ones that choose success to emulate
Tie it, no matter how hard
The knot is all that's required, the rest is for God


Sincerity will only hold it together
Otherwise any loop, or twist made will loosen like an oily braid
It takes true work and no matter what we will not exceed our capacity
Submission should remain our legacy

So tie your camel gurl
In any direction
For He who Controls
Makes the selection!

Definition of Iman

Faith is not just in the heart [definition of Iman]



Imâm Al-Awzâ’î – Allâh have mercy on him – said:


Faith (îmân) is not sound except with [correct] words. Faith and words are not sound except with [good] works. And faith, words and deeds are not sound except with [the correct] intentions in conformance to the Sunnah. Those who went before us of our Salaf did not separate faith from deeds: deeds are a part of faith, and faith is from [ones deeds]. îmân is a word that brings together these aspects of the religions [of Allâh] and is confirmed through [a person's] works.




So whoever believes in word, knows in his heart and confirms [his belief] through his works, then this is the strongest handhold that will never break. And whoever says [words of faith] but does not know [faith] in his heart nor confirms it with his works, it will never be accepted of him and he will be in the hereafter from those who suffer in loss.




Ibn Ba tt ah, Al-Ibânah Al-Kubrâ article 1097.

Surroundings ..

Distractions surround us
Sin just seems to hound us
Is it just me or do you also feel a sense of weakness?
A constant need to remind myself it's all a trick
The ploy of the devil luring us into his grip
Maybe we're already there?
I don't know, but I definitely don't feel safe or secure
Merely refraining from 'major sin' doesn't guarantee us a win
In fact we ourselves become deluded in our own "piety"
The devils whispers come from every direction
The harder we pull away it seems the stronger his determination
He stays patient in his persuasion
Man inclined to feel productive
Really when accomplishing nothing of value or substance
Activity after activity
Indeed wasteful and at times foolish productivity
Yet no power does he have over a TRUE believer
How far are we?
Are we harboring hypocrisy?
Disillusioned by the modern day concept of moderation
No longer a bar of standards - we're sinking; it's a fragile state of our nation
May Allah Shower His Mercy and Blessings upon us all
May He Protect us from the plots of evil that surround us all
May He Guide us on the Path to His Pleasure
May our end be Jannah...Ameen

Solar Eclipse... Supplication / Dua?

There's a solar eclipse hitting our area pretty soon...

Here's some "offical" links on the subject, provided by Hadith Check Blogspot [http://hadithcheck.blogspot.ca/]. Also I put the basic nasiha from same site and below are the links for more information. May Allah reward those with the highest level of Jannah that pass on authentic Islamic knowledge.. Ameen

-----
Regarding the solar eclipse, there is no specific du'a for it, so when there is a solar eclipse one should make du'a in general and ask Allah to have mercy on them and grant them jannah, and to seek forgiveness from Allah, and to seek refuge with Allah from the punishment of the grave, and the punishment of the Hell fire... so one should make du'a in general and doing dhikr and remembering Him, in addition to the kusuf (eclipse) prayer which is from the sunnah of the Prophet peace be upon him, when an eclipse happens to pray 2 rak'ahs, in each rak'ah there are two recitations, two ruku', and two prostrations. So it is slightly different than the regular prayer in that it has 2 recitations and 2 ruku' in each rak'a. So first there is recitation of Quran, then going into ruku (bowing down) then going back into the upright position and reciting more Quran, then going into ruku' again, then after that there are the two prostrations just like in any regular prayer.



It has no adhan and no iqamah (like the Eid prayers), and the prayer is usually long, the recitation is long, the ruku' is long, the sujud is long.. and after the prayer the imam gives a sermon/khutbah. This prayer is usually performed in congregation with the rest of the community, so if the masjid in your area is holding this prayer during the time when there is an eclipse you can go perform it with them in congregation if you want (this prayer is voluntary, so although it is recommended but it is not an obligation on everyone).


One thing to note though is that some people hear about an eclipse that is going to happen in another part of the world, but even though it is not visible from the part of the world where they live, they still perform the kusuf prayer, and this is not correct because this prayer is for the one who sees the eclipse or who lives in the part of the world where it is happening. But as for the one who just hears that an eclipse is going to happen in another part of the world, then he should not perform that prayer if the eclipse is not going to occur in the region where he lives.

Dust..

I've got a tornado of stories rolling around in my mind
I've got clouds and dust covering into blind
Blessed is me in the truest form of reality
Happiness isn't any less
But this feeling of unsettled remains a test
It's a decade of training I've grown to love
Left in a limbo of what appears to be a chosen glove
I'm wearing it, for fear that if I didn't slip it on, I'd be left with a fist
Fighting for the mere values and core of my own beliefs
The unrest is unsettling
But every soul must remain battling
I have flaws I need to continue to acknowledge
Grow towards aiming for greatness knowing full well that I'd not come close to even make it
That's alright I say, for Allah Knows my intent
Though I know I'm weak, and lazy despite needing to "improve"
The hypocrisy of my own ideology seems to make me lose [May Allah Protect us all..Ameen]
Fools merely preach a heavy load
But morons continue on an empty road
May our days be filled in some sort of productivity
May our steps be consistent though small striving towards eternity
May our character be the core of our correction
For our worship is worthless when accompanied by arrogance and ego
Ever in need of His Mercy.......
Ya Raabi only you hear and answer the cries of Your servants calling on thee!!
---------------------

As I Googled an image for "dust" I bumped into this... quite interesting for those that like X-Men, I always seemed to like X-Men though haven't quite got into it as in the "message" behind it. And y'all know there's always a meaning behind "entertainment" .. *sigh*..
Anyway... http://marvel.com/universe/Dust   ... here's what this Marvel character is about... Her name is "Dust" (hence the reason it came up when searching)..

The Quran is Truly a GUIDE.. Subhan'Allah

Allah subhanhu'watala has answered our questions we often ask ourselves!!

* Why do we get tested?

The answer: Al Ankabuut 2-3

Do the people think that they will be left to say, "We believe" and they will not be tried?

But We have certainly tried those before them, and Allah will surely make evident those who are truthful, and He will surely make evident the liars.


* Why do not we get what we want?

The answer: Al Baqarah 216

Fighting has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not.

*Why are the tests we face heavy?

The answer: Al Baqarah 286

Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned. "Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people."



* I am so sad, what should I do?

The answer: Ali Imran 139

So do not weaken and do not grieve, and you will be superior if you are [true] believers.


* But sometimes I could not stand it anymore!

The Answer :Yusuf 87 and Azzumar 53

O my sons, go and find out about Joseph and his brother and despair not of relief from Allah . Indeed, no one despairs of relief from Allah except the disbelieving people."

Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah . Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful."


* So, how do we live?

The Answer: Ali Imran 200 and Al Baqarah 45-46

O you who have believed, persevere and endure and remain stationed and fear Allah that you may be successful.

And seek help through patience and prayer, and indeed, it is difficult except for the humbly submissive [to Allah ]

Who are certain that they will meet their Lord and that they will return to Him.



*So, from whom should we expect?

The answer: At-Tawbah 129

But if they turn away, [O Muhammad], say, "Sufficient for me is Allah ; there is no deity except Him. On Him I have relied, and He is the Lord of the Great Throne."



Allah SWT has answered it. Therefore let's think and learn.

Friday, May 11, 2012

Say, "Not equal are the evil and the good, although the abundance of evil might impress you." So fear Allah , O you of understanding, that you may be successful.
[Al-Maidah, v. 100]

WORDS

Words don't move
Only actions do
You can't have one without the other
So keep it balanced mah brotha
Everyday life choices
Means a balance in our voices
Walking with humility
Truth remains the soliloquy
Keeping ourselves in check; makes the best example set for humanity
It's not about being strict
It's about dedication
It's not a battle of argumentation
It's a way of submission
Each take their course
But there's a fixed re-course
Walk the middle path without making exceptions to the rule
Modern day society is not the correct measuring tool
Don't choose to play the fool
The way have been paved
May we walk it in the best of ways.. Ameen

When things do not go exactly the way we wanted, when we do not achieve what we have tried so hard to or when we feel so let down by others then always know that for as long as we have faith ; trust in the Almighty, He definitely has something better in store for us, has saved us from a calamity or disaster that would have been in our path or has elevated our status through surrendering to His Decree. We are not considered believers until we are pleased with the Decisions of the Almighty. This will save us from much anxiety and depression. Try your best and leave the rest to Him.

Sahih: Worse than thirty-six acts of zina

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
“A dirham which a man consumes from riba knowingly is worse before Allah than thirty-six acts of zina.”

You can imprison the body but you can't cage the mind
The power of man limited to the physical
Can't touch the understanding , and definitely not the soul
Break down the weapon of fear and you'll find a coward
Holding on hard to the tyrant, feeling secure
Wait until you lay below, let me know how it goes
For the heart that's aligned
You can never dine, you'll only strain the lion
Feast on your incapacity to control
For the ability is beyond your hold
They'll grow old worshipping
You'll grow old torturing
In the end your fate is the same
Death will meet, how'd you plan to greet?
It's all so street
Rule with a deception of power
Even if it means tearing down towers
We all return back to Him
How will you bear your sin?.....

Have you heard the moans pain causes?
Have you seen how age weakens giants?
Quivering hands , legs can't stand
Have you seen illness create discomfort?
Have you witnessed the world narrow when in strife?
When the self is in a fight, 'you' is all that matters
Haters can hate, fakers can fake
When you're in a state of pain, everyone else can jump the plane
It really doesn't matter
So what's to say about our hereafter?
Hell a promised abode, iron collars, near death cries
But a destination where death no longer lies
What will cause us to continue to remember our reality?
I write this guilty....
I know nothing is worth it
It's all about sincere worship
May death be the best day of our lives, wherein a blissful eternity lies...Ameen!!

Thursday, March 15, 2012

O' gentle tear don't drip down in pain
O' silent tear be peaceful like the rain
See it for what it is ...
Though your heart may miss
A relief from this world to an eternal bliss
O' loving tear drip down in prayer
O' lonely tear drip down knowing your time is also near
Console the heart that may be upset
Strengthen the soul that may not be well kept
O' bitter tear don't drip down in hurt
O' sorrowful tear know that we will all be put down in the dirt

May Allah keep all our loved ones in peace, may He bestow His Mercy upon them, may He make their journey peaceful and content, may He takes us all when He is Pleased and unite us all in peace.. Ameen!

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]

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.

. . . ?

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 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])

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...........
