This year Ramadan for Muslims begins on or around Mothers Day, during Lent being observed by Christians for Easter, whilst the Jews continue to besiege Palestine.

■ The Mother of All

Directly from The Quran we come to understand Wisdom can be categorised as either Pre-Quran or Post-Quran. With further divine clarification assuring the reader The Quran is in fact Wisdom i.e The Wise Book (10:1, 31:2, 36:2), The Wise Quran which is protected from ever becoming changed (6:34, 115, 10;15,64, 15:91, 18, 41:42, 56:78, 85:22, 98:3) preserved and completed. Divine words of ‘The Wise’ (2:129, 4:130, 6:18,114, 7:87, 11:45, 31:27, 46:2, 57:1, 59:24, 66:2, 95:8) – God. From a pair of themed verses of 13:39 and 43:4 we learn The Quran is ‘The Mother of all Books’.

The Mother of all books
The Quran is a Book which supersedes and surpasses every other book on earth. Simply because it’s not written by mankind (15:9, 39:2, 69:43-48, 98:2,3) – it’s Divine. Unlike any other text available on Planet Earth written by mankind – forgetful and ego-ridden species susceptible to Satan’s handiwork. Without doubt, The Quran can be trusted (2:2) and relied upon.

The Quran offers Wisdom above and beyond the intellectual scope of the human species. It’s Peerless. One of a kind, literally described as being ‘The Best Hadith’ (39:23) by God – can’t argue with that?

The Quran confirms and/or corrects all previous scriptures of The Bible, the Torah, and ten commandment, the Abraham scrolls and The Psalms (3:184, 4:163, 17:55, 21:105, 35:25).

Verse 21:105 states in the Book of Psalms there is a quote “the land of Paradise is inherited by my righteous/ reformed worshippers”. This resembles the 29th verse of Psalm 37, which says “[t]he righteous shall inherit the land, and abide forever in it.” Taken out of context, flipped and Zionised by the Jews into ‘the State of Israel’ as ‘the land for the righteous’, which was carved out from ‘The Land of Palestine’. Don’t cry for me Argentina.

Birdbrain
God encourages mankind and muslims alike to become learned and familiar with The Quran (21:50) – to ponder and contemplate upon its verses after you’ve embraced it. To become learned, In the same manner you recognise your children (2:146. 6:20) wives and mothers, and Prophet Muhammad (23:69). Muhammad expresses his grievances about Muslims abandoning The Quran (25:30). Fast-forward 1,400 years later 9.999/10 ‘born-muslims’ have abandoned it in preference to Sunnah and Hadiths. God created mankind only to worship God (15:99, 51:56) – unconditionally (25:77), God is Free of Need. The Best form of worship is The Qur’an – contemplating verses, in the presence of God.

Walking with Kings
As wise as Solomon (2:102, 6:84, 21:78-82, 27:15-44, 34:12-19, 38:30-40). All the information you’ll ever need to know about Solomon’s Kingdom and reign for you to develop Wisdom. From this portion of snippets we learn nothing about his childhood or marital life, perhaps we don’t need to know much more about him. It could be, any Wisdom it did have to offer is either logical, or it has been embodied into the snapshot parable of another Prophet presented elsewhere within The Quran. Similarly we learn not much about Enoch (19:56,57, 21:86,87). Very little about Isaac and Ishmael mentioned in passing umpteenth times, nothing about Elisha (6:86) or Elijah (37:123,130). Ezra (Uzair) is mentioned only once (9:30) whom the Jews claimed to be the son of God, in the same fashion Christians claimed Jesus to be the son of God. Many Messenger Prophets who passed but unnamed (4:163-165, 36:13-30, 40:78) and unmentioned in the Quran.

Otherwise it’s well and truly above and beyond the comprehension of mankind and muslims alike. Comparably we learn little about Messenger Prophet Muhammad’s early life and childhood vis-a-vis Moses. It may well be that we learn from Luqmans namesake Chapter 31 what we could have learned from Muhammad’s social life or day-to-day-living, how he preferred his eggs? With or without date syrup?

After all Religion for the most part is logical with every soul endowed with a natural disposition and faculties to make sense of it all. The Qur’an narrates first hand experiences as though you were privy sitting next to Solomons corpse-ridden throne (38:34) or shoulder to shoulder when he fell to his death (34:14) leaving Djinn oblivious, exposing their lack of knowledge about The Unseen – which any human mind is incapable of comprehending. Stories presented concisely, anything we don’t need to know has been filtered out and omitted (4:163-165, 6:34) by The Wisest of All – God.

Parenting 101
The Quran presents snippets of cumulative Wisdom about The Greats. From Abraham we learn Wisdom of what to do if your father prefers polytheism over monotheism. How to balance the conflict between family ties and Religion from Jethro and Eber. From Joseph’s namesake Chapter 12 we learn about siblings and estrangement, from Jacob we draw on wisdom about parenting. Chapter 31 Luqman is a Powerhouse about Parenting. From Jonah we learn to worship God and patience from JOB, to trust in God from Joseph and Moses, presented concisely, how to be just and fairness, compassionate, gratitude from David and Solomon, justice and fairness, equality. God-cognizance and Morality.

Motherboard with the best chipset Fried
Information overload – too many parables for the scope of this article to digest. The Qur’an is situational, something for everyone, at one time or another. Wisdom learned from Moses’s interaction with God and Jesus too. Wisdom of Muhammad navigating polytheists and hypocrites alike – muslims pretending to be muslim. Wisdom learned from a Queen and Kings Solomon and David adjudicating over The Curious case of 99 Ewes Plus One (21:78) – Good judgement. Confirming and correcting and summarising the Biblical parables of Samuel 12 1-6, Matthew 18:12-14, Luke 15:3-7. Lamb Chops.

Before and After
Evidently, Wisdom can be categorised as either Pre-Quran & Post-Quran conveyed by Muhammad. All of which has been contained within The Quran. It’s all the Wisdom mankind will ever need until Judgement Day. It simply can’t be bettered, it’s Divine.

Directly from The Quran we learn Prophetic Wisdom was conveyed unto mankind either by i) divine inspiration (today commonly known as Sufism i.e Mysticism and Spiritualism) of Moses and Abraham connecting spiritually with God. Along with prophetic Wisdom from all other Messenger Prophets (3:79,81,164, 17:39. Including but not limited to Muhammad (62:2), Jesus (3:48, 5:110 43:63), Moses (26:21, 28:14), John (19:12), Joseph (12:22), David (2:251, 38:20), Abraham (4:54, 6:83, 26:83), Lot (21:74) and AlKidr (18:65-82) and Luqman (31:12). Or ii) Divine Wisdom contained within previous scriptures of Bible (3:3), Book of Psalms (4:163,17:55, 21:105), Torah (3:65, 5:46), Abraham Scrolls (87:19), Tablets of 10 Commandments (7:142,145,154) (2:129,151, 4:113). Best taken with a pinch of salt – all of which became changed or misplaced or extended by mankind – as proven the World over and back again. Confirmed or corrected and superseded by The Quran, Invite them to Wisdom 16:125 – The Quran.

Whilst any Wisdom learned by people living in the presence of the prophets or the Poets are gone. Leaving behind hearsay and fables, legends of the former peoples and old wives tales i.e Sunnah and Sufism resulting in division and discord and doubt.

Post-Quran, Divine Wisdom of more than 1,400 years dating back to Pre-Adam has been summarised and presented within The Quran – for you to reflect upon. Not having to rely upon mankind or hearsay and hadiths about prophets authored posthumously.

Blessed Prophet Muhammad was bestowed Wisdom via The Quran (2:231, 4:113, 16:135, 17:39, 33:34, 54:4,5) i.e The Quran. But he’s dead – physically and biologically. In his absence we still have The Quran which taught him wisdom. Preserved for you and i, 1,400 years later to embrace and acquire Wisdom too.

Or would you prefer to invoke his Spirit for Wisdom or Guidance by Mysticism i.e Sufism. Otherwise to trust mankind to convey Divine Wisdom unto you? Chinese Whispers.

Fish eggs
The Quran teaches mankind and muslims alike Morality and how to become God-cognizant. Agreeably God conveyed The Quran via Muhammad acting as a Teacher to teach the unlearned around him about The Religion of Abraham i.e The Quran. Similarly in Schools across the World, subject matter is taught by Teachers using Study Texts. Chances are if you reach your fifties – your teachers are dead leaving a few feint puzzled memories. But the Study texts are still available from your ‘History’ and ‘Religion’ classes which were/are taught separately, original form or most probably revised umpteenth times.

Caviar. It would be a Fools errand to set aside the original text and reminisce about teaching experiences and memories – Don’t forget the fish (18:61,63) or invent a subject matter named ‘Culture’. Quran teaches mankind logic and reasoning. Catch a fish for a man and he’ll eat for a day or two – Sushi. Teach a man how to fish and he can feed himself and others his whole lifetime – Masgouf. The Quran is Wisdom (2:129,151,231, 3:58,164, 4:113, 10:1. 31:2, 33:34, 36:2,3, 43:4. 54:5, 62:2) which purifies mankind and teaches Wisdom.

Teach your grandmother to suck eggs
The Quran is like a protective and caring parent(s). Even better. Offering much greater Wisdom than any grandparent that ever lived. Better than a BFF. It counsels you to Patience (Sabrr) and Compassion and Truth (103, 🙂 Teaching you Gratutude (Shukr) and contentment, to Trust in God (Tawakkal), Divene Decree (Qadr) Sometimes it gives you love and hope, and wipes away your tears like a Mother Hen. It soothes your grief and counsels you. At other times it rebukes you and makes you fearful and scolds like a well-intentioned father to discipline you. Replaces aunts and uncles, kin and relatives and puppets-on-strings nevermind Monster-in-laws. Pound for pound The Quran packs a better punch than your siblings could ever muster. Companion for life.

Drizzled with Honey
Directly from God we learn the Quran is a ‘shifa’ an Arabic word translated into English as ‘healing/ cure’ – divine verses which heal and nurture our souls, help us to deal with grief. Verses which release unquantifiable sweetness the more your contemplate upon them, leaving you longing for more. Detached from the temporary Worldly life In the words of Winnie-the-poo ‘Doing nothing often leads to the very best of something”.

With precision the word ‘shifa’ is used only 5 times in the whole Quran (10:57, 16:69, 17:82, 41:44 and 47:15) comprising of 77,000 words approximately. Dispensed only once in the context of Honey (16:69), thrice used to describe the Quran as ‘shifa’ quite literally in the 3 verses of 10:57, 17:82 and 41:44 and finally for the God-cognizant free flowing Rivers of Honey in Paradise’ (47:15). Just imagine that..

Mothership
Muslims are certainly satisfied with the verse 69 describing Honey as a ‘Cure & Healing (‘shifa’) from its namesake Chapter 16 The Bee and its namesake verse 68. Taking heed, manufacturing it with Arabic branding and different grades of Authenticity, Marketing it as ‘blessed honey’ as Prescriptions blended into Sufism. Foretold 1,400 years ago the health benefits of honey are still being discovered today. Offering antibacterial activity and immunomodulatory properties used as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. Commonly used orally to treat coughs and topically to treat burns and promote wound healing. Benefits of eating Honey include blood pressure management, cholesterol management, cough suppression, it aids digestion and regulates blood sugar levels, improves heart health. The Quran does for faith what honey does for health.

Like bees to honey
Sadly, most Muslims are unconvinced and fail to appreciate the benefits of understanding and reflecting upon verses of the Quran, so buzzed off into the Mystical World of Sufism focused on Hadiths and Tasawwuf. In colonies to make-believe and associate the word shifa as a spiritual affair of Mysticism which will cure them simply by reciting the Quran in an alien language of Arabic which they learned to read & memorise but not to understand. A psychology Increasingly exported from third world countries championed by the pakindian diaspora and arabs alike. Harvested by the Arab world from teachings tracing back to Persian influences and tribalism of bedouins. Blended into hives of congregations and gatherings by adding rythym, rocking and DumDum Dua Sing-alongs. Rituals led by Peers/ pirs, ustads and imams and sheikers, of touching heads shoulders knees and toes – then blow, to ‘cure’ their physical or mental suffering – medically, somehow. Miraculously. Hadithified into superstitions of cupping and holistic treatments. Dum Dum.

Trim thy Moustache
Fistful of beard regulations extracted from Hadiths which have become Sunnah to emulate the prophet Muhammad based upon secondary sources. The word ‘moustache’ is not mentioned in The Quran – Zilch. In a similar fashion the Amish do not let their moustaches grow. A tradition which traces back to the days when moustaches were associated with the Armed forces. Which the Amish rejected refusing to enlist in the military being non-violent people. Statue of William Henry Hornby shows a trimmed moustache with a fistful of beard. William Gladstone a 19th century statesman and four-time Prime Minister, slave trader too. Moustaches, like slavery and smoking became passe.

We also learn God grants Wisdom to whomsoever God wills 2:269 & 17:36-39 via The Quran. Whomsoever is guided no(thing) can mislead, whomsoever goes astray from he Qur’an- no(one)thing can guide.

■ Parental Guidance

From many verses, beginning with verse 2:2. We are assured and reminded throughout The Quran that The Quran is Guidance. The purpose of The Quran is pure and simply Guidance. To guide mankind and muslims alike into enlightenment by teaching them God-cognizance and Morality.(1:6 2:2,38,97,159 3:138 6:71,6:88,185 7:203 10:57 12:111 16:64,89,102 25:30 27:2,76,77 31:3 34:6 39:23,27 41:44 45:11,20 47:17 51:6 72:2,13 92:12).

God explains throughout The Qur’an that The Quran is The Only Guidance (6;88 18:57 22:16 24:46 39:23,41) By which God guides those who help themselves to The Quran or leaves astray whomsoever goes astray from it (2:26,70,142,198, 213,272 4:137,143,168,175 5:16,41,51,67,108 6:39,88,112,125,149,179 7:178,186 10:25,96-97 11:34 13:27,31 14:4,27 16:9,93 17:97 18:29 24:35 24:46 26:69 28:56 35:8 39:3,23,36-37 42:13 47:17 74:31). Deluded away from The Qur’an are the deluded (51:9)

It became apparent fairly early on Mankind is a forgetful species, ego-ridden and aroogant species, susceptible to Satan aka Lucifer aka The Devil. Case in point Adam the first of mankind was tested by God and advised not to approach only one particular tree (2:35, 7:19) amidst Four earth like Gardens of Paradise, each as wide as the heavens & earth. Despite divine Guidance inspired unto Adam, he forgot and lacked determination ( 20:115) tempted by Satan Whispers and egged on by his Ego. (2:35, 7:20,21, 20:120) consequently he erred. Jesus too was tested by Satan’s temptation (Matthew 4:1-11).

Hard copy
That was pre-internet, pre-technology, pre-media, pre-people, pre-‘civilization’, pre-industrialisation – pre-everything. The only distractions Adam (and his ego) was faced with was one woman Eve (and her ego) along with Satan’s Whispers. Proving Guidance was/is imperative for mankind and Muslims alike for Remembrance (2:38 and 20:123,124, 39:23)

Wild goose chase
If you’re travelling to Destination: Unknown, without technology you’re options are twofold. Firstly the roadmap. Secondly, verbal directions from another, someone relying upon their memory and experience, along with road signs. Stars (6:97, 16:16) and landmarks.

One things for sure you wouldn’t drive blind nor would you blindly follow the car infront. Nor would you fold the A-Z Roadmap away into a green cloth, believing the roadmap put aside in your glove box will nevertheless guide you spiritually or protect you from bugs, ghosts, dead ends, the White Lady. The Quran is the best road map from the creator of the Worldly Life who put those roads into place. Follow it ‘tabi’hun’ (3:7, 6:50,155, 31:21) Road trip.

Egg on your face
Which speaks volumes about human species translated from the Arabic word ‘insan’ stemming from the the root word ‘nasiya’ translated as ‘forgetful’. Some with better Shelf-life of memories than others. In general, even those with the best of memories are incapable to remember each and every sight or glance, each & every word heard or said, each & every thought or emotion and feelings – ever had. Mankind cannot be trusted to Guide another due to inherent biases.

After Adam, prophet after prophet after Messenger Prophet were conveyed to mankind, some inspired with divine guidance others conveyed divine guidance in written form, from Abrahamic Scrolls to Moses Ten Tablets to Torah, Book of Psalms, Bible, and culminating with The Quran – a supernatural Book. The Final Guidance until the end of times.

You can lead a horse to water
Directly from The Quran we learn you cannot force faith upon another, there is no compulsion in Religion. And you cannot guide another because they have the capacity and capability to be guided themselves – by The Quran.

□ Abrahams father Azar (6:74) was misguided. Abraham was guided but unable to guide his father aright.(6:74, 9:114, 43:26) despite his best endeavors.

□ Noah was guided but unable to guide his son (11:42-47), who in turn failed to misguide his father

□ Jacob was unable to guide 10/11 of his 12 sons (Chapter 12 Joseph).

□ Adam was defeated in trying to guide his sons, one killed t’other (5:27-32)

□ Saleh was guided but unable to guide his family, plotting to kill him (27:49) like Abrahams father plotted against him.

Parables which make firm your heart (11:120, 2:3) Whilst mankind can guide one another away from danger or towards warmer climes, advise one another regarding wealth and children and etcetera – mankind simply cannot be trusted with matters of Religious Guidance. Autopilot.

Walk a mile in my shoes
From the highest to lowest’, (11:82, 15:74) not a word wasted albeit oft-repeated verses to remind and emphasise key points of Guidance and Wisdom for the forgetful human species. In actual fact not having every precise detail allows the reader to engage thy Brain and think about it, ponder and contemplate, piece the snippets together and figure it out. Why Joseph preferred to be imprisoned? (12:33(40))

Without supervision
Directly from The Quran we also learn many prophets were Guided without parental guidance because their parents were lost in Worldly Life. Many people embrace Islam after studying The Quran, despite being born into non-muslim families.

□ Abraham was guided without parental guidance (2:258, 6:74-80, 16:121, 26:78, 37:99) he figured it out using his intellect, eyesight and hearing and natural disposition not to worship the sun stars and moon (2:258, 6:78). Guided after he emigrated, many centuries later an infamous Queen and her people did same to worship the sun (27:24)

□ Joseph, effectively an orphan was guided without a mother or father (Chapter 12) his step-mother and father.

□ Jesus was guided from birth without a father and mother.

□ Muhammad was an orphan so guided without a mother or father. We learn from The Quran that Muhammad was amidst illiterate Bedouin Arab tribes, unlearned people. Who were engaged in association of God (6:79) idol worshipping and polytheism, Magic & Witchcraft revealed unto Babylon, Iraq (2:102) . Hence The Quran was revealed which guided Muhammad (28:56, 93:7)

□ Jonah was guided aright only after he left his family (37:179-148).

□ Moses was an orphan guided without his parents, adopted into a tyrannical family (28:7-10), with Pharaoh as his step father. If he had followed parental guidance of Pharaoh – an ego-ridden narcissistic with money & power on his mind, who was deluded to believe he was a God-like ‘Master Race’, a ‘Superior Species’ by constructing towers into the sky so he could engage with God , even took ownership of rivers and newborns, with Magicians as consigliere. Then Moses too would have lost the plot. (Moses was guided after he emigrated.) Pharaoh’s body saved as a legacy – if ever there was one (10:92).

Heads up display
Divine Guidance of The Quran could’ve been etched into your cortex or hippocampus, humans pre-programed with automatic software downloads to keep you updated (32:13) century after century (6:149, 13:31, 32:13) further to its Natural Disposition ‘fitrah’ (30,30 90:10,, 91:8) to worship God.- if God willed. Every township on earth could’ve been sent a Mayor as a Messenger Prophet (11:118,119, 25:51). Or embedded the Quran, tied around your necks and forced mankind into submission (10:99, 11:28, 26:4) but no compulsion in Religion (2:256, 3:83, 13:15, 41:11) because God is Free of Need. Giving mankind and muslims alike free will – embrace it if you will, The Quran is the greatest Mercy for mankind and the worlds (6:155, 7:52,203, 10:57, 16:64, 17:82,87, 27:77 ). it could’ve been washed away or changed or eliminated. It was incumbent upon God to give humans Guidance so it was conveyed onto every place on earth. ( ) So that you would remember God the same way you remember to eat and breath and , you’d never forget..!!

Easier still forced mankind into submission (10:99, 11:28, 26:4, 3:83). RESET. Replaced mankind, or just wiped out generation after generation (6:133, 10:11, 14:19,20, 35:15-17,44,45, 36:66,67 43:60, 47:38). Chicken or egg situation.

Religious Guidance can be categorised as either pre-Quran or Post-Quran.

Pre-Quran ‘- spiritual guidance, sufism like, was either inspired unto Messenger Prophets to convey teachings of Morality and God-cognizance to those around them. Otherwise by Scriptures of Bible (3:3) or Book of Psalms (4:163, 17:55, 21:105) or Torah (3:65, 5:46) or Abraham Scrolls (87:18), and Ten Commandments (7:42,145,154)

Post-Quran – Guidance of previous scriptures was confirmed or corrected by The Quran. To serve as a final Guidance in a preserved and sealed form. Dispensing the need for spiritual guidance.

Only God guides
Throughout The Quran we learn Only God Guides whomsoever God wills via The Quran. Not Prophets, Not Saints, Not Imams, Not Sheikhs. Not Scholars, Not Guides – Not Mankind. Mankind simply cannot be trusted with matters of Religious Guidance. As proven mankind is i) Forgetful species (2:286, 6:41,68, 9:67, 12:42, 18:63, 20:115, 39:8, 58:19, 59:19 ) ii) Ego-ridden (10:44, 14:34, 16:4,53,54, 33:72, 36:77, 39:49, 96:7, 100:6) and iii) Susceptible to Magic, Witchcraft and Satan (2:102,268, 4:51, 5:91, 10:77,81, 15:39, 17:64, 20:20, 113, 114).

From The Quran we learn only God guides whomsoever God wills by The Quran (2:272, 6:88,104,107 10:108, 28:56, 39:41, 42:6) & God leaves astray whomsoever God wills. Whomsoever God guides (by The Quran) to the straight path – No(one)thing can mislead (5:105, 15:39-42, 16:99, 17:65, 39:37, 47:17). Whomsoever God leaves astray (from The Quran) No(thing)one can guide ( 2:272, 6:104,107 10:99,108 28:56 39:41 42:6, 43:36). Not even if they had 1,000 years of life (2:96) , Not even if angels were sent to them (6:111 ) or the dead was made to speak, Not even if they had all the wealth houses and stairways and ceilings of silver and gold (6:35, 17:90-93 43:34,35). Not even if The Quran was sent in their own language and mother tongue (41:44).

The Guidance of God (Quran) is the only Guidance –
From The Quran we come to learn Guidance was incumbent upon God (92:12) and each soul was endowed with faculties of intellect and vision and hearing to be able to embrace the Guidance of The Quran thereby becoming God-cognizant thereby Morality. What on earth were you doing, if not reflecting upon verses of The Quran?

If the seas were ink, trees pens
From a powerful pair of themed verses laid out In The Quran (18:109 and 31:27), we are given assurances by God that the Quran is all the Guidance you’ll ever need to attain Paradise. To assume it’s incomplete or you require further and supplementary guidance is akin to believing God ran out of ink and pens. God decided 77,000 words of The Quran were deemed sufficient as Guidance for mankind until Judgement Day, because God is All-Merciful so it was incumbent upon God to ensure mankind received its Guidance (2:38, 6:157, 20:123, 92:12) Lest they say’ verses.

The Quran could’ve too easily surpassed the 1.9 million words of the Torah and Talmud, or the 777,000 words of The Bible by tenfold. To spell it out some more, if you can’t see the forest for the trees. If God used the trees as pens (31:27) and the seas as ink i.e to ink the pens (18:109) and write out Divine Guidance or Widsom. With each tree also capable of producing 10,000 sheets of paper from pulp. Then The Quran could’ve surpassed all the Hadiths in existence, infact every word ever written by humans worldwide already. In addition to each and every word to be written from today until Judgement Day.

To trust in God and be content with The Quran. 1/10th size of the Bible, which averages 777,000 word count, whether that be from the Protestant Bible of 66 Books to the Orthodox version of the same Bible of 86 Books, Roman Catholic versions with 73 Books. The Quran re-sets the record straight to dispel falsehood added by mankind like the foam from the ocean washed up, to re-establish the Truth – until the end of times (13:17, 21:18)

Mother lode
Your Mother counsels you to go East,

your Father counsels you to head West,

your God counsels you to head North,

and your grandparents counsel you to go South.

(And if you’re married your Wife and Monster-in-laws) advise you to go..)

What to do?

Your mother raised you, perchance she has your best interest at heart to guide you in the way of her brothers well-trodden path, Go Left she counsels.

Your father parented you and provided for you so maybe he has better life experiences to draw upon to guide you, Go Right he suggests, with his blessings.

Your grandparents are older and matured so assumed to be wise owls, guiding you to Go Down.

North or East or South or West?

To hunt two hares
Heads up. God created you and sustains you and provided you with Guidance which counsels you to Go Up. Going the extra mile to explain why it’s best for you – to go up. To stay firm in faith and embrace The Guidance of The Quran, not to follow the former peoples or charlatans and hillbillies. Along comes another self-proclaimed “Guide” offering to guide you aright – Mainstream.

Exemption. Self-Certified.
Today, Guidance of The Quran is available and accessible in every corner of The World a click away online, available as Audio Book, translated into every language, braille too. Theres simply no excuse for any ‘Muslim’ or ‘Born Muslim’ in third-world or developing or First- World countries to be unlearned to its verses. None. Proving you can see, hear and think.

Outcast. Tragically Muslims have decided its too complicated for them to understand and study by casting doubts over the reliability or accuracy of different translations, only to excuse themselves from trying to understand the Quran for themselves. Putting up barriers from even trying to study the Quran with ‘What ifs’. Muslim scholars and thought leaders deterring muslims by coaching them to spend years learning the Arabic language before they study it, as a last resort in a translated language or to take a guide. Otherwise to study Hadiths as a precursor to studying the Quran which serves as a life-long deterrence. From a glance back into history it’s noticeable The Quran came well and truly before the Hadiths..! All of which were published hundreds of years after the death of Blessed Prophet Muhammad who conveyed The Quran. It’s clear from the Quran no such pre-requisite exists. Backwards

One of a kind
It’s also proven the World over that the Qur an remains unchanged, unaltered. Despite mankinds best endeavors, it was guarded and sealed. All copies of The Quran contain the exact same number of verses and precisely the same word count.

In the interest of fairness. Qurans can vary in translations, some in plain English, others more Shakespearean in writing style, the Arabic words the same. Suitable for every level of proficiency. Most with much added commentary and footnotes published by different schools of Thought and scholars. One upmanship and consequently Arabic words and phrases are increasingly becoming redefined by Schools of Thought. Arabic words such as ‘taqwa’, ‘xzikkr’, ‘fitnah’ have been flipped and stretched. Nevertheless, despite centuries of efforts. Today, for anyone embracing The Quran in any translation or language, are only likely to be misled if they lack God-cognizance (2:2) being devoid or defunct of faith (2:85, 3:7, 74:31) – same applies to Arabic speakers too. It’s too powerful a Book to ever be manipulated or misinterpreted.

Reverse engineering
Because The Quran is Self-Governing by oft-repeated verses and beyond the replicability of mankind, its simply above & beyond distortion. Its simply impossible to mix it up, except deliberately to cherry pick a verse or take it out of context. Notwithstanding the uniqueness of transmission being memorised by billions of muslims in all corners of the world. Which added to its regulation, furthermore its distributed across the World with copies dating back 1,400 years. Akin to manufacturing an egg in the lab from scratch, or creating a chicken without an egg, vice versa. Nigh impossible.

Rabbit trail

The Quran is one Book, completed, a One-stop Shop (7:185, 39:33, 45:6, 77:50). Which contains everything you’d ever need to know for Guidance. Alternatively you can exit the store and visit Grand Libraries of Hadiths for Guidance to emulate how the Prophet Muhammad and his family may have lived centuries ago. Chains of narrations compiled posthumously by humans, volumes and volumes and volumes, decades after the prophet Muhammads death. Hugely popular in south asia and the middleast, widespread across the world, sponsored by Saudis arabs motivated to minimise their charitable obligations. Like a Rolodex they’re still being discovered across the World and added into the fold. Most Hadiths are refuted, others are corrected, some controversial and others removed and replaced. The Sunni Library offers you a labyrinth of 35,000 Books. A few moment later.. In the building next door, The Shia Library offers up a further labyrinth of 50,000 different Books for Muslims. Collectively its The Sunnah – that’s circa 100,000 Books – for which One Life is simply not enough (15:99, 51:9). Double-Dip erm Egg

Cliff End
Imagine you’ve been led down towards the end of the road, and you’re standing at the cliff edge, the oceanic view is breathtaking. You have two options facing you, ‘Left’ or ‘Right’, no middle ground. A signpost shows two signs; one pointing right with the sign ‘THE QURAN’ heading off the beaten track. The other arrow pointing to the left indicating ‘SALAH’ (& Hadiths, lots of em)’, seems a well-trodden path. Crunchtime, its one or t’other? Two roads dwindling in opposite directions – one heading to the East and the other to the West. Would you prefer 7 verses oft-repeated albeit almighty verses (1:1-7, 15:87) extracted from The Quran recited on repeat in salah 5 times a day (Cumulatively taking up no more than an hour of your time every 24 hours) coupled with man-made religion of Hadiths. Or would rather take a deep dive and embrace The whole Quran offering you more than 6,000 verses of Divinity including the 7 verses of Chapter 1. Added Bonus. Connected.

■ Like Mother Like Daughter

Throughout The Quran we are warned about the perils of ‘Mothers/ Fathers Ways’ . A parent-child relationship is a complicated affair, children are dependent on parents for care and support in their early years. Parents have a responsibility towards their children and owe a Duty of Care, in return children are obedient and reciprocate good treatment towards their parents in old age, to be kind.

Spoon-fed
‘No one is born hating another person because of the color of their skin, their background or religion. People must learn to hate’. Famously said Pro-Palestinian Nelson Mandela. Parents influence children based upon their stereotypes and life experiences. Spoon-feeding prejudices, biases and 1racism and ‘isms, family grudges and slander too’. Racism has negatively impacted generations of people, leading to discrimination, lost economic opportunities and mental health issues. Not to mention costing the British economy £24 billion a year – every year. Racism becomes evident by your eye contact and behavior, your conduct and communication. Blink.

Logically, this hate can therefore be reversed, theoretically, because ‘if they can learn to hate they can be taught to love. Love comes more naturally to the human heart than it’s opposite’. Hating requires much more effort, taking its toll on your brain and mental health, and your peace of mind. Conclusive studies have proven being racism accelerates aging and degrades key brain circuits involved in regulating emotion and cognition, constant stress and vigilance wear down the brain, and body. Keep Calm and Carry on.

The Best Mother there ever was
The best example of a Mother for mankind and muslims and djinn too – is Mary. The Mother of Jesus was a devout Muslim. God chose Mary and purified her above the women of the worlds (3:42). From the Quran we learn Mary was devout in her worship of God and mindful of God (Mary verses 3:35-37,42-47, 5:75,114-120, 9:31, Chapter 19 Mary, 21:91, 23:50, 33:7, 43:57,61, 57:27, 61:6, 61:14, 66:12). Mary placed her trust in God and remained firm in faith despite the unconceivable.

Marys Mother before her was too a blessed (3:35-37) mother. The Mother of Moses was a devout Muslim who was placed her trust in God to put Moses into a basket into the River Nile (20:38-40, 28:7-13). Your Mother can only emulate Mary via the teachings of The Quran and becoming God-cognizant.

The apple never falls far from the tree
Chances are if your mother’s a Zionist or Racist, you are too. Proven the World over, Racist mothers raise racist children. After all a wild goose never laid a tame egg. Otherwise the company you keep will affect your perspective – Peer group pressure, fresh way of thinking exported from villages in third world countries. Odds are if your Mother worships Peers and is engaged in superstitions – you will too. Isms and schisms exported from third world countries. Learn to think the same, do the same, speak the same, they all sound the same. Imitation is the best form of flattery. Smell the flowers. So Fresh. Like father, like son.

Scotch Eggs
Pig is not an acquired taste – it’s a given. Children develop a taste for pig from parents at an early age, when they really don’t have a say – bacon or ham. Because they can’t speak or communicate their preferences, all they do know is that they’re hungry. Equally you could probably feed a child a cat or a dog at an early age and they would grow up to prefer Air-Fried-Cat-Mandoo on a Wednesday, Fried-Hot-Dog on a Monday.

If they hadn’t been spoon-fed pig, they’d grow to use their intellect and logic to deduce pigs are unhygienic animals which feed off its own faeces – Coprophagy. Cannibalism too, pigs will eat dead bodies and their own piglets. Besides there’s many other alternatives of Red meat, healthier, tastier which smell better too, Vegan Pig.!. Maybe they also come to learn pig is forbidden by the 3 Abrahamic Religions of Judaism (Deuteronomy 14:8, Leviticus 11:7), Christianity and Islam (2:173, 5:3, (60) 6:145, 16:115). Hardly boils down to free will or democracy. Muslims have observed these 5 verses by extracting them from The Quran the world over, culturally and religiously, devoutly, and then set the rest aside. Making a real pigs ear of Religion.

You cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs
The Quran disrupts the status quo, it shakes up “This is how things have always been done around ere..” It overturns centuries of Legends of the Former Peoples. Its direct and bruises egos. The Qur’an certainly ruffles feathers. In fact 5-A-DAY ‘bornmuslims’ are irritated and aggravated by it, children unable to talk but allegedly running scared when it’s played on Audio. By contrast, Djinn stopped in their tracks when they heard the Quran (Chapter 72:1-28) marveled at its magnificence. Muslims engulfed in superstitions and old wives tales and prefer instead the 5 pillars of prostrating and travelling and fasting and doing and giving – instead of thinking, contemplating and pondering. Occupied with volumes and volumes and volumes of Hadiths and Sunnah blended with /Bollywood movies. A tough egg to crack.

Malteasers Teasers Easter Egg
All of which must be unlearned and set aside to rediscover the natural disposition to worship God, by embracing The Quran to become God-cognizant. The two sources of Religion, namely The Quran and Hadiths are Worlds apart, polar opposites. Hadiths and Sunnah teach SIN/ SELF-CLEANSE & REPEAT psychology, giving muslims a Green Light. Similarly, Christians are lit believing Jesus took away their sins by atonement, so they got Salvation. Jews believe they attained Salvation by way of Zionism and a promised land. Hindus alike take a dip into River Ganges India to cleanse their souls and wash away their sins and guilt accumulated since the last summer holiday. Buddhists and Sikhs are reborn so shed their sins away.

Wispa Easter Egg
By contrast, The Quran teaches REPENT/ REFORM/ REFRAIN mindset, that we carry our burdens and will be held accountable for our each and every thought, every feeling, every word, every (mis)deed, be that the weight of a mustard seed (21:47, 31:16). So much as a thread on a date seed will not go unaccounted (4:124, 17:71). Unravelled on Judgement Day when your hands, feet, skin and tongue, eyes and ears will testify against you (17:36, 24:24, 36:65, 41:20-22).

There’s no offset deal. Which fosters less complacency and to err on the side of caution. Resulting in a huge disparity in the Moral Spectrum of muslims and mankind alike. Coached into thinking ‘But its okay God is All-Forgiving’ rollercoaster, regardless. Similarly Jews too believe God actually created mankind to sin, otherwise God wouldn’t have much to be occupied with. Or God was tired so needed a day off to rest. 6 Days.

A brain transplant might be easier. These two psychologies simply do not co-exist. If you chase two rabbits, you will not catch either one.

Twirl Easter Egg
Sufism pre-dates Persia, referenced in the Quran, God advises muslims and mankind alike not to deviate away from The Quran onto the mystical realm of sufism 26:221-227, in its basic form poetry championed by pakindians and arabs alike, akin to the meeting of the two seas (25:53, 55:19,20). Suf’ism’ is embodied into both Shia’ism’ and Sunni’ism’ at some level or another, along with Tribal’ism’ . Intertwined into Culture, today its become Religion-like. 21:5, (11:1, 36:69) 37:36, 52:30, 69:41. God makes a clear distinction between any poetic verses contained in the Quran and man-made poetry – it simple doesn’t compare. Ritualised, transformed as purification of soul, Marketing it as The Sufi Path and escalating spiritual Stations of elevations of Master-student, mystical knowledge of the Divine. Sufis pray salah 5 a day, are hadithists, their practices diverse, the remembrance of God (xzikkr) – sufis Ritualised it!! Vocally in unison, movement of head and instrumental

The remembrance of God is Greater still
From the Quran we learn about ‘xzikkr,’ which translates as ‘Remembrance of God” used in conjunction with ‘xzikrah’ which the Quran is explicitly described as. Which enables mankind and muslims to remember God by learning about God and occupying their headspace with God via The Quran.

You can either learn about God and then Remember God , and the best place to become acquainted with God is The Quran which is God’s words. Or you set The Quran aside in a green cloth and then let your imagination carry you away, Alice in Wonderland, make-believe whatever you like about God.

XZIKKR Verses: 2:40,47,63,122,152,198,200,203,231,239,269, 3:41,103,135,191 4:103,142,,143 5:91 7:25 ,200,201 8:45 13:28 18:23,24,28,101 20:14 ,33,34,42 ,124-126 21:42 23:110 24:36,37 26:225-227. 29:45 33:21,35,41,42 39:22,23 42:20 43:36 53:29 57:16 58:19 62:9,10 63:9 72:16 72:17 73:8

How on earth muslims have managed to separate the Quran (xzikrah) from the act of xzikkr (The Quran) is supernatural. Xzikkr is ritualised by Sufism tracing back into Persian era of mystical experiences and ecstasyism. 13:28 is a favorite one.

We also learn mankind is a forgetful species- root word of insan is nasiya* which literally means forgetful. A forgetful species which needs The Quran as remembrance to remember God. Which has been spun into xzikkr evenings, sing alongs, rocking and rhythmic beatings – in its literal sense too for some Muslims partaking in self flagellation. A congregation or rituals or practices are not necessary for one to connect with God. God is closer to your jugular vein (2:186, 8:24, 11:61, 50:16). There is no private conversation between two but God is the 3rd, God is 4th between three people nattering away, God is the 6th between 5 people plotting and scheming (58:7).

A leaf falls God knows (6:59,60) God is All-Knowing, God is All-Hearing, God is All-Seeing, God is All-Aware – Far too many verses to reference on almost every other page throughout the Quran. Which serve to teach mankind God-cognizance and develop and maintain a Moral Compass. God knows what’s in your souls (3:29,119,154, 5:7, 8:43, 11:5, 28:69, 29:10, 33:51, 35:38, 39:7, 40:19, 42:24, 50:16, 57:6, 64:4, 67:13, 84:23) God knows what’s in your hearts and your feelings, and God knows what’s on your mind – your every thought and feeling (which you’ll have forgotten by Christmas). Whether you choose to believe that or not is your prerogative. Confirming the Biblical teaching of Psalms 139:1-24.

Running around like headless chickens
The pakindian diaspora is actively discouraged from studying The Quran – for fear of becoming misguided because it wasn’t revealed in their mother tongue. A language which most Muslims are unable to understand. Perhaps if The Quran had been sent in their language (14:4, ) they still wouldn’t have embraced it. Excuses set aside.

Disturbingly the Arabs do speak the language but are unable to understand the Quran either. Like South Asians most of the Arab speaking middleast prefers isms too, and need someone to explain the Self-explanatory Book ( : ), and Book of Clarification (16:89), it’s a ‘Bayyinah’ which contains clarifies verses (2:242, 4:176, 5:89, 16:39,89); To be guided by a Guide because ‘born’muslims’ are deemed intellectually challenged and incompetent to understand it for themselves.

From an early age generations of Muslims are deterred psychologically and put-off from reflecting upon verses and counselled not to ponder. Not to think it out or try to figure it out – Not to read translations. Instead encouraged to subscribe to The Fellowship of Isms and schools of thought and groupthink so as to be guided. Confidence is shattered before they try to try. One things for sure the Quran does not have an Age-restriction attached to it, and it is without Expiry Date. Its free for all. As if they’re alarmed donkeys fleeing from a lion (74:50).

Rabbits foot
Like a rabbit’s foot carried as an amulet, believed to bring protection and good luck, earliest use being recorded in Europe 600 BC. Muslims too seek protection from the Evil eye and palm amulets, superstitions, curses, peers, djinn, spells. Blow, hocus pocus it’ll go away. Blow again.

From the Quran we learn about the sins of envy (113), Magic and Witchcraft (114, Magicians of Pharaoh) and Djinn and Satan ( ). We also learn becoming and being ‘God-cognizance’ (‘taqwa’) is your only means of protection.

According to superstition, speaking the words “pinch punch first of the month’ on the first day of each month is supposed to bring good luck for the four weeks ahead’ This phrase is thought to date back to old England times when people believed in the existence of witches. The ‘pinch’ part refers to the pinching of the salt – as this ingredient was believed to weaken the witches when thrown at them. The ‘punch’ part was to banish the witch once and for all.

Similarly muslims have copycatted superstitions and invented, tailored many more. Shrouded the quran in a green cloth and shelved it, to preserve its honor and pardoned themselves from understanding its verses. Believing it will shield their households from evil spirits in a superstitious manner. Contrary to widespread (mis)belief Women are not shrouded into Paradise by wearing head coverings which are encouraged by The Quran (24:31 and 33:59) for modesty, clean shaved (Bible 1 Corinthians chapter 11). Wearing gemstones for luck, amulets and tawiz pendants containing Quranic verses wrapped around their bodies, commercialized into air fresheners left hanging in private jets and vehicles. With hijabs to afford them spiritual protection and protect them from evil eye by cracking eggs to bless new purchases !! Burning chillies, and incense sticks on Fridays, and on and on and on the merry go round goes. White rabbits.

I am your father
God presents many examples throughout The Quran counselling muslims and mankind alike not to blindly follow your fathers ways of tradition, custom, rituals and culture. (2:133 170, 5:101-104, 7:28,70,71 11:62,87,109. 12:38, 14:10, 16:35, 21:52-54, 26:69-74, 29:8, 31:13-15,21. 34:43, 37:69,70,167-170, 43:22-26. 45:22,23).

A running theme throughout The Quran, when they’re advised to follow God via prophets and scriptures, they react “meh, we’ll follow our fathers ways” even though their fathers were not guided or misguided.

Each and Every prophet faced the same obstacle time and time again from Eber (7:70,71) Saleh (11:62) Jethro (11:87) Muhammad (11:109) Abraham (21:52-55,67, 26:69-76 and 43:22-26, his father tried to kill his own son, but God advises Abraham to disassociate himself, a gracious avoidance. Leave her be.

13th
Being born and raised in the UK without ever stepping a foot into third world countries such as Pakistan, or India, or middleastern Homelands, affords no escape from superstition of twitches and itches, playing chess is evilified – someone somewhere passed another fatwa, checkmate. It wasn’t a Bishop, that’s for sure.

Pakindian diaspora inherited their superstitions from Hindus and from Pagans, Arab superstitions include; never leave a shoe upside down, snapping scissors, spells onto hair trimmings and nail clippings, whistling and pinch of salt over your shoulder, djinn-ridden cats and right foot into the bathroom and on and on . Lucky number of 786 for Hindus associated with Amitabh Bachan in Bollywood movie of Coolie, will bless you and protect you somehow, inherited by Pakindian muslims. For indians 8 is lucky and superstitious, in the West the last supper had 13 people when Jesus was betrayed by Judas. So properties are not numbered 13. From my experience 12 was cursed and 14 doomed.

■ Say not uff to parents

Directly from The Quran we learn about parental relations and good treatment. The topic of Parents is straightforward and laid out in a Dozen verses (2:83, 4:36,135, 6:151,152 17:22-25, 19:14,32, 29:8, 31:13-15, 46:15-17, 70). That’s your lot. Mostly logical and sensible, to care for your parents in old age and don’t be abusive or harsh towards them, to be kind and considerate. Not only to only reciprocate but do as much as possible ( : ). The best in some cases is to offer a prayer from a distance due to family politics at play, exasperated by inbreeding, boo.

Treble Score
The Quran makes no distinction between a Mother and Father, both parents ought to be equally important for any child. Logically, and biologically a child would not exist without a father, vice versa. Both parents bring something different to the table, whether that be household chores or providing income or running errands or helping with homework, giving maternal or paternal advice.

Pecking order
Muslims have decided in their better judgement, somehow the Mother is 3 times better than a father, according to an infamous Hadith which is unverifiable by the Blessed Prophet Muhammad because its Hearsay by definition and published 200 years after his death. Gilding the lilly.

Seemingly someone, somewhere demoted the father, at an age when the concepts of ‘Working Mum’ and ‘Stay-at-home Dad’ commonplace in Western societies today did not exist. Role reversal. Which still don’t exist in many third world/ islamic countries which are male dominated, and oppressive towards women pursuing careers. Stereotypes and stigmas towards the 1 in 5 stay-at-home parents in the US which are dads.

Foiled.
From the dozen tray of egg-like verses, a pair of eggs have been picked out and hadithified, decorated and glorified by muslims across the Muslim World. Bandied around by every Muslim parent and championed in mosques and Islamic centres. The two shiny ones are ‘Say not “uff (Fie’ Ugh)”‘ 17:23 and 46:15 (also used in 21:52-55,67)’ to your parents. Extrapolated, hadithified, translated with spin into ‘No matter what’. Glorified. Imagine your own blessed mother is cursing your birth and death too (Live On) yet God counsels you to pray for her forgiveness, in the fine example of Abraham (9:114, 19:47, 60:4) – A beautiful God indeed. Simon Says “Jump”.

How high?
From the dozen, a further 2 verses have been cherry picked and set aside or rejected as being past their sell by date. Namely . ‘Do not obey them’ 29:8, 31:13 (‘Fa’la tuh’tee’huma’). To disagree if they mislead you against the teachings of The Qur’an towards superstitions and etc – nevertheless accompany them in appropriate kindness. Which counter the pair of golden-egg-verses (17:23, 46:15). Excusing children from obeying or following their parents blindly and/or family and/or associates and/or companions engaged in peer worshipping and shirk and Magic & Witchcraft and acting up evil and injustice. Should they try to mislead you away from Islam into Polytheism and Shirk, be respectful and lower wing of humility despite their blasphemy or injustices against God. Abraham disobeyed his father and rejected his father’s ways. Which resonates throughout the quran.

To keep mum
In most cases the infamous pair of 17:23 and 46:15 are used as precedent for emotional and psychological abuse to override and overpower, manipulate children into arranged/ forced marriages. Domestic abuse and violence. Otherwise used to enforce parents religious preferences of peers and sufis, culture and traditions unto their children. Egged on.

The double egg-muffin
A further 2 verses, namely 4:135 and 6:152 counter the pair of golden eggs (17:23, 46:15) to support 29:8 and 31:13. To stand up against injustice – even against your own self, your parents or your kin. Be that for a stranger or enemy – be just. Don’t be swayed or misled by personal biases to act unjustly, remain honest and righteous despite injustices against you or your loved ones. No Mother of Father must be harmed or transgressed via their children (2:233). Parental alienation.

Parents too are human, they too are i) forgetful,* ii) ego-ridden with biases and prejudices iii) susceptible to the influence of Magic and Witchcraft and Djinns. Hormonal and menopausal. Period.

It could well be you are better informed than your parents, maybe you’ve been educated and they haven’t, maybe you’ve had life experiences which they haven’t due to their upbringing, maybe you’ve connected with Guidance of The Quran, they haven’t.

Run with the hare and hunt with the hounds.
Ultimately, your allegiance is always to God. God created you and your parents too, extracted you (3:6, 22:5, 39:6, 26:78-82, 53:32) from wombs, endowed you with intellect and hearing and vision (16:78, 22:46, 28:78, 32:9, 36:66,67, 67:23) and allows your each & every heartbeat – your Mothers too. Or did they sustain themselves or create themselves? (18:37,38, 19:67, 52:35, 56:59)

Not to be biased towards one over the other, to be just towards both. Conflicting agendas of two families with differing values, different isms, different religious codes and different preferences of soft boiled or hard boiled. Last but not least different set of prejudices and biases, faith and morals. To find the middle ground and stand up against injustice.

Half Dozen
From the remainder half dozen verses we learn a two-step approach in sequential order: Primarily, Step 1: to Worship only God and be grateful to God and don’t associate any(thing)one no(one)thing in Worship of God, and Secondary, Step 2: To parents good treatment. God and the Quran is superior to parents and overrules parents. Establish a fair balance. This two-step approach puts the Quran and God, above and beyond parents on any matter.

The Purple One.
To care for your parents in the fine examples of Jesus (19:32) and John (19:3) and not to be neglectful. We learn little from Muhammad because he was an orphan raised without a mother or father. God encourages Good treatment towards parents – both mother and father. To be kind and compassionate whether or not they reach old age (17:22-25), lower to them the wing of humility and ask God to have mercy upon them because they cared for you and raised you. Joseph was highly revered despite living most of his life without his mother or father Jacob, who had another eleven sons to fall back on, siblings living in close proximity to his Dad’s House. A good egg.

Omelette
The Quran encourages muslims not to engage in arranged marriages and inbreeding (4:23 and 33:50). God encourages interracial marriages and diversity (30:22, 35:27,28).

Ambush. For argument sake, let’s say your Mother is your also your brothers wife’s paternal aunt who is doubled-up as her Mother-in-law, and your brother is the son-in-law of your maternal uncle, owing his allegiance to his first cousin also maternal uncle double-act of father-in-law, come father-figure. Your father passed aged fifty (may God have mercy on his soul, a good man, and only child, legend) who was the cousin of your maternal uncles wife. Whilst your sister(s) is married to the son of your maternal aunt, who is also the nephew of your maternal uncle, so your sister is the niece of your maternal uncle and her husband your brother in law is the nephew of your maternal uncle. Your nephew(s) is married to the daughter of your maternal uncles son. Your brother-in-law and nephews father doubles up as the maternal uncle of his wife. Untangle that one. Before adding into the mix a dollop of tribalism, a sprinkling of family politics, some hadiths and sunnah for good measure. ‘So much Goo. White Egg’.

Wife beater(s)
One-armed ego-ridden peer/money worshipping hillbilly. It was only In 1878, the Matrimonial Causes Act finally made it possible for a woman to seek legal separation from an abusive husband, and in 1891 the right to use corporal punishment on a wife was removed.

The Quran, made this possible more than 1,400 years ago. Women’s Rights are championed throughout The Quran, with one of the largest Chapter 4 named ‘The Women’ and Chapter 65 titled ‘Divorce’. Divorce proceedings are laid out throughout The Quran (2:226-242,246,256, 4:19-21,35,128-130,135, 8:63 & 30:21, 33:28,37,49 65:1-7, 66:1-12 not exhaustive) To release them graciously and generously (33:28). From Muhammad via The Quran we learn about divorce – to release them graciously and give them more than their worth (4:19-21) not to take back anything; and not to make difficult their lives, not to evict them (65:1); Not to oppress or transgress against them; Besides how could you take back when you’ve been into one another; Set them free with love.

Otherwise, the Hadiths known as the Sunnah offers generous portion of 553 Hadiths pertaining to ‘Divorce’ for Sunni’s, which offer greater flex and change the rules. Shia have different rulings and precedents set by 12 Imams and how they and their households handled marriage & divorce, jurisprudence and concepts of temporary marriages. Confused Egg.

Like father like son – (daughters too)
Violence against children and ruling with an iron fist, smacking children was once upon a time prevalent in Western societies, as much as it still is in Asian countries and communities, mosques and islamic centers too. Bollywood movies and culture and traditions, exposing Asians to domestic violence. Maple Syrup

Square Eggs
An emotional abusive mother (or father) uses shame and humiliation as a way to hurt her children’s feelings and dominate. Name-calling and slander spread across the country. In the Asian community not being devoutly obedient towards your mother, earns you the reputation of not being “a Stand Up Guy”. Muslims schooled on Bollywood (Hindu) and Punjabi (Sikh) music and Islamic (Non-Quranic) ones too, spoon fed daily dosage of “Ma ni banya tera keh bansey” boo’, then Covid happened, Equaliser. Outcast as a black sheep, or a Wrong-un. Impacting marital relations, hindering earnings and networking, affecting your life in many ways, You wouldn’t ask a 12 year old Under the Influence to park your car.

There’s not much a child can do if your mother is experiencing Bollywood-Ma Disorder or Cold Mother Syndrome. If she’s emotionally attached to her one-armed sibling, obsessively. Neglectful towards her husband, mental health and depression. To sabotage her relations with her children, but loving and maternal towards her Niece(s) and Nephews doubled up as Son-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law, boo.

Milky Bar Easter Egg.
For the Pakindian diaspora The Brother-Sister relation is holy sacred cow like, Bollywood Movies churned out about the Day of ‘Raksha Bandhan’, adopted by ‘muslims’ (16:66) with a twist of tribalism. A Hindu celebration of the bond between brothers and sisters. Sisters tie a ‘Rakhi’ around their brothers wrist symbolizing their love, care and protection for each other. Brothers in return, supposed to give gifts or token of appreciation for their sisters. Emotionally cold mothers put psychological distance between themselves and their children.

Juggling Eggs
The relations between different children of the same mother is akin to apples and oranges. Generally mothers bond better with daughters, sons with fathers, coined ‘Father’s son’. A mother of one’s love for her only child is not comparable to a mother of seven who’s love, care and attention is divided by 7, and then some. One is an experience, two is a preference, three is a choice, seven are too many for any parent(s) to manage. (12:46)

The dynamics of a Mother with her only child is different to a Mothers relations with seven children. Which can vary significantly depending on family politics. The relations between a mother and her 2 daughters cannot be compared to a mother’s varying maternal bond with her 5 sons which fluctuates depending on who’s present and what’s brewing. Maternal and paternal ties exasperated and severed, complicated by conflicting relations as a consequence of inbreeding and arranged/ forced marriages.

Henpecked
The Quran 4:34 deals with Adultery using a three-step approach; advise, abstain, culminating with raising your hand as a last resort towards a Promiscuous Wife. Serving as a litmus test (4:35) for divorce – consequently a way out. Some people are just not supposed to be together, others grow apart and change. Let them free.

According to The Quran the punishment for fornication is 80/100 lashes for both man and woman with a high burden of proof (24:1-33). Light, compared to the Biblical punishment for the same offence (Levictus 20:10-12 confirmed by Deuteronomy 22:22-24) – Put to death. Like minded Hadiths also prescribe stoning to death as practised in Islamic caliphates such as Saudi Arabia and Iran. In Dubai it’s 3 years imprisonment instead of lashes.

The Quran condemns all forms of Domestic violence – oppression and transgression and forced marriages. There is no compulsion 2:256, 4:19, 65:6. So much so that muslims are encouraged to emigrate and defend abused women and children from oppressors and tyrants. (4:75)

Imported Batch
Extract the egg from the cake. Trying to separate Religion I.e The Quran infused with man-made religion of Hadiths and Sufism – poeticism, mysticism, Persian influences infused into religion and culture across the middleast from Baghdad to Persia, Africa’s, whirling sufis from Syria and Turkey’s Rumi onto third world illiterate countries such as Pakistan and India and Bangladesh. Easier trying to separate the egg from the yolk.

Asian mothers born and raised in third world or muslim countries bring to the host nation their upbringing of idol worship and superstitions and Peers, Shirk, culture, traditions saints and Polytheism and Sufism. Particularly pakindians whose ancestors were Hindus and non-muslims. Old wives tales of Hindu and sikh neighbors in villages throughout PakiStan 76 years ago. Hindu rituals of kowtowing and touching feet and heads, red dresses and gold at weddings inherited from the Brahamic culture and bollywood movies.

Thy Parents Blessings
Contrary to the popular belief held by most muslims learned from Bollywood movies also taught by imams across mosques/ islamic centers in accordance to Hadiths – that blind obedience to your parents does NOT affect your wealth or prosperity or afterlife, vice versa. With due consideration 9.999/10 muslims are unlearned to The Quran.

Rest assured you’re not doomed or cursed for rejecting Arranged/ Forced Marriages or being disobedient to your parent(s) within reason, even cutting off family ties, according to some spiritual reckoning of sufism or sorts. Authoritarian parenting, dictatorial

Your parents are human not God. They do not determine your wealth in worldy life- widespread disbelief that a child will only attain success if they serve their parents religiously, their blessings or lack thereof do not define your success, nor can they guide you, or you them. Superstitious.

Mother Nature
There’s much to learn from mother nature about parenting, From birds twittering away in worship to God, stars, (22:18) sun and moon, and trees bowing in prostration (55:6) along with their shadows too.

Rabbit mothers immediately leave the burrow after giving birth and only stop-by for a few minutes each day afterwards to feed the litter. After less than a month, they are left to fend for themselves. In the rabbit’s defense, she’s actually helping her babies by minimizing the chance the burrow will be found out by predators. Rabbit-Stew.

Chickens are good mothers. Sitting on her nest, a mother hen carefully turns each of her eggs as often as thirty times a day, using her body, her feet, and her beak to move each egg precisely in order to maintain the proper temperature, moisture, ventilation, humidity, and position of the egg during the 3-week incubation period. In the wild, hens only lay eggs during breeding season, totaling just 10-15 eggs per year. Due to severe human intervention, non-wild hens lay 250-300 eggs per year, which takes a never-ending toll on their bodies. Naturally, chickens can live 10-15 years. Protein.

Sheep are incredibly caring mothers, an Ewe will form deep bonds with their babies. After a lamb is born, the ewe begins to lick it. Cleaning and licking is part of the ewe-lamb bonding process. It also helps to dry the lamb. Onto regurgitating the same green grass all their lives. Mutton.

Free-range
Jellyfish Parenting Style is opposite of authoritarians. Octopus species, guard their eggs, protecting them from predators, and waft over them to oxygenate them until the eggs hatch. Panda Parenting is all about guiding your children from afar, giving them the freedom to do things their way. Whereas s Unicorn parent is a Mother who’s not perfect, enjoys alcohol, has a sense of humor and couldn’t care less what you think. Tiger parents are seen as pushing their children to succeed according to their parents terms, and Helicopter parents take over every aspect of the child’s life. Free-range parents allow children a great deal amount of freedom.

A female orangutan stays with her mother into her teenage years – the longest childhood dependence duration for any animal in the world, other than human beings.

Harp seals are probably worst Mothers, they mother their pups for 12 days. In fact, they do not eat at all during that period, once the feeding is over, that’s it for mother-child bonding—she’s out of there, ready to mate again. After 8 weeks of fasting stranded on ice they are ready to swim and are able to start hunting for their own food.

Pickled eggs
It beggars belief how your Ex-Father-in-law & Co can divorce you from your Ex-wife without your knowledge, presence or consent, never mind your blessing! All in the name of Islam endorsed by Ahlul Bayt (11:73, 28:12, 33:33). Proceed to terminate your ties with your only child, frustrated with Parental Alienation, Thing. After you’ve relinquished your marital home without contesting the alleged divorce later brought to your attention (There’s a hadith for that too somewhere!!). Resulting in estranged children and orphan(s), Long gone past dead. Monsters-in-laws, the Silver Lining.

■ Paradise lays at your mother’s feet

You’d think God knows better….

Right?

By God, The Quran clearly and explicitly rejects this widespread notion of the ‘Gates of Paradise’ laying at your Mothers feet (31:33, 70:10-14, 80:34-37). God explains on Judgement Day each and every child will flee from their parents and kin, and every mother/ father will flee away from their children. A day when a mother will not avail her children, and no child will avail their mother.

This Trio set of bitesize verses supported and reinforced by many oft-repeated verses regarding the concepts of Intercession and Salvation, proves ‘bornMuslims’ have been indoctrinated by their Hindu ancestors. Further demonstrated by parables of Abraham and his father, Mother of Noahs son, Mother of Lots children, Mother of Abu Lahab’s children, supported by counsel to a son from his beloved father Luqman (31:33).

Bounty Coconut Milk Chocolate Trio Easter Egg With Fun Size Bars
Firstly, the Mother of Noah’s son failed to open the Gates of Paradise for her son. Noah’s Mother elevated in status being a Prophets Wife were drowned, destined for Hellfire.

Secondly, Mother of Lots children couldn’t avail herself never mind admit her children into Paradise. All of who were buried alive. She secured Hell despite being the wife of an esteemed prophet Lot.

Thirdly, Mother of Abu Lahabs children, however many, did not find Paradise at their mother’s feet. Their Mother doomed into Hellfire (Quran 111:1-5).

These three Quranic parables clearly prove Paradise/ Heaven does not lay at your Mothers feet. Each of these Mothers condemned to Hellfire, leading the way for their children too.

For added measure, Mother of Adams children, Eve couldn’t avail her son, one whom killed t’other and thereby assured Hell . Notwithstanding the blessed prophet Muhammad was an orphan raised without a Mother , or father. Hundreds of years after his death, someone somewhere heard someone heard another to have heard Muhammad say this and that I.e Hadiths. We learn little if nothing from Muhammad about Mothers because his Mother died when he was young, Muhammad was raised without a Mother as an orphan.

Black sheep
Nevertheless this fable of ‘Paradise allegedly at your mother’s feet’ has stood the test of time for centuries, passed down generations for 1,400 years before and after the Quran was revealed, transmitted across the Muslim world into the West, Exported by pakindian diaspora and muslims alike and bandied around as a form of Parental Control and Emotional Blackmail.. Theatrised by Arabic culture, Dramatised by Bollywood Movies and Pakiwod, Hollywood too. Poeticised by Persian influence of Sufism, Spiritualized. Agreed upon by all Peers and Imams and Sheikhs and Muftis and Ustads and Schools of Thoughts across the Sunni and Shia spectrum. Hop off the bandwagon.

Mother Goddess
A Mother – Child relationship is individual and evolving, its fluid. Muslim Scholars really ought to stop throwing in their two pence worth to add salt to the wounds and frustrate relations, and create estrangement between siblings. Somehow, they know better with blanket rules of fatwas and hadiths, when they’ve never met you, and they don’t know your Mother, let alone your family dynamics and circumstances. You do. !!

In Hinduism the concept of ‘Mother’ goes above and beyond the literal meaning of a biological mother, elevated to a Goddess status of ‘Mata’. For Muslims, its proven from The Quran that Paradise does not lay at your Ma’s feet. Jesus lived his life not at his Mothers feet, in fact far from it but he’s assured Paradise. Moses lived his life not at his mother feet, Joseph lived his life hundreds of miles away from his mother. Jonah lived his life Island apart. All prophets did not live at their mothers feet. Prophet Muhammad for sure didn’t spend his life at his Mother’s feet – neither did Adam, that’s for sure. Generations of Muslims coached into existing to service their mothers, looking for paradise in between ten toes of two feet. Grounded.

Believing that Paradise lies at your Mothers feet would render this Worldly Life as Useless, without purpose – Pointless. (3:191, 23:115, 38:27, 40:57, 79:27) If you can attain Paradise by faking service to your mother. To make-believe you’ve secured Paradise, or to love your Mother conditionally. Bargain –like, Transactional.

Go down the rabbit hole
Not to draw parallels, according to Hinduism traditions ‘the Mothers Feet’ are enshrined into Religion. The practise of bowing to touch feet is called ‘Charan Sparsh’ – an Act of Worship. A superstition by which you are in turn blessed with knowledge, intellect, strength and fame. Blessed. Transferred unto you spiritually – Paradisically. The feet are a symbol of enlightenment in Polytheism which dates back to pre-Abraham, including his father being a polytheist. Similarly Muslims in The West from the pakindian diaspora perform a similar act of kissing hands of peers/ pirs/ sheikhs/ muftis/ ustads/ scholars/ imams/ etc – as salutations and kowtowing, to get blessed. Muslim Mothers stroking their hands over the heads of children and relatives alike to bless them spiritually, or kissing their foreheads in a blessing-like manner. Birds of a feather.

Your Mothers Grandmother’s Mother
Hindu culture is very much evident in Muslim culture today, embraced by the Pakindian diaspora and Arabs alike. Only 77 years ago Paki’stan’ was Hindu’stan’ today ‘India’, 1 billion people of which 80% are Hindu. From Gujrati Hindus in Kenya, to the current Unelected Hindu PM ‘Rashid Sunook” a proud member of the BJP the far-right party spinning ideology of Hindutva. Another White Supremacist ALT-Right neo-Nazi ideology of the superiority of the ‘Aryan’ Master Race ancestry and a “Pure” race. Historically proven Hinduism was used as a spiritual icon of Nazism. Grassroots.

Hinduism is 4,000 years old, and Zoroastrianism as old as all three Abrahamic faiths of Islam, Christianity and Judaism, influenced in some way or another, along with Buddhism and Sikhism etc. From The Quran we learn early Muslim prophets Adam and Enoch (19:56,57, 21:85,86) and Noah was challenged by mankind worshipping man-made Gods named Wadd, Suwa, Yaghuth, Ya’uq, Nasr’ (71:23) From ancient Persia Iranian paganism and Zorastrians who like muslims pray ‘salah’ 5 times a day, the Zorastrian ideology revolves around ‘Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds’. In The West today, muslims dancing around changing lightbulbs, lit up in red or bright colored wedding dresses like Hindus, draped in Gold.

Odds are your Mother’s- Mothers Mothers-Great Grandmother was unlearned to The Quran too. Just like 9.9999/10 Muslims today, who’ve set The Qur’an aside in a green cloth, shelved high as a display of respect. Used in a spiritual manner, either to ward off evil or reciting it in an alien language which they understand not, for spiritual effect. Mother Tongue.

Humpty Dumpty
BornMuslim. To embrace The Quran a blank canvas is imperative to unlearn everything you’ve come to learn about Creed. From parents, education or media, from man-made religion and scriptures which are not divine. To unbolt a lifetime of secondary sources spoon-fed into you by parents and Worldly life. One must set aside all/ any Guidance or Wisdom obtained from man-made sources. Case in point, Intercession: Or Not. That is the Question.

Directly from the Quran we learn the right of intercession belongs entirely to God. (2:107, 5:55, 6:51,70 10:3 13:11 19:87 20:109 21:28 29:22 32:4 34:23 39:44 41:31 43:86 53:26 82:19) Not to Prophets (2:119,134,272 6:50,52,104,107 7:188 9:80 10:41,99,100,108 26:216 28:56 39:41 41:6 42:6 46:9, 72:20-23, 88:22), or Saints nor Angels or Kin (3:118-120 9:23,24 11:113, 23:101, 31:33 44:41, 47:29,30 70:10-14, 80:34-37) nor Households or Scholars or Anyone and Everyone.

Muslims remain unconvinced. Instead of honoring each and every one of these verses, muslims have preferred to set aside 53 verses of which 36 state explicitly there is No intercession, 17 verses which state, probably not Except by Gods permission. 2 verses about the possibility of intercession by Angels ( *) – By permission of God.

Rolo Easter Egg
A true believer firm in faith will accept and embrace all 54 verses about the Unseen matters of Intercession & Salvation to trust in God. To contemplate and ponder upon these verses, individually and collectively by putting them back into context and embracing the *preceding and following verses and piece the jigsaw together.

Not to pick and choose a verse which suits their lifestyle best playing ‘Happy Family’. Reinforced by verses of Abraham couldn’t save his father, Noah couldn’t save his son nor wife, Lot couldn’t save his wife, Pharaohs wife couldn’t save Pharaoh (25:27-29 37:51-57 43:36-38 50:24-28).

Crossover Stitch
To make-believe the Gates of Heaven lie at the Mothers feet is not only divisive, leaning towards the Mother against the Father. It also serves to discriminate and create estrangement between siblings and sever family ties. Many lives charted off-course by Forced/ Arranged Marriages, devoutly obeying parents with the mistaken belief they’ll assure you Paradise in return for your sacrifice. Discriminates against orphans without a mother, why are they excluded from this Golden Rule? Along with barren women who are not Mothers, thereby exluded also. Stitched up.

Fudge Easter Egg
Imagine a Pharaoh like tyrant, a Master Race and who commits the worst atrocities on earth. He’s assured by his consigliere and peers, if he serves his mother devoutly then all his sins and wrongs are written off. Reprieved, like Satan, allowed to continue and given free rein to do as he wills with wealth in abundance. Such belief is problematic for both Child and Mother.

From The Quran we learn God saved/ saves whomsoever God wills – Not Mothers.

Salvation has been linked to Mothers and Prophets in Islam by Muslims, in Hinduism and some other religions also. For Christians, Salvation has been linked to the Crucifixion of Jesus. For Jews, Salvation has been linked to ‘the holy land’, the promised land. For Hindus, Salvation has been linked to River Ganges, and for Sikhs and Buddhists alike its Meditation, to follow the path of the Guru.

From The Quran we learn Salvation is by the Grace of God. Simples.

God chooses whomsoever God wills, i.e God guides whomsoever God wills via The Quran, which teaches God-cognizance. Salvation cannot be transferred from one to another, its not a commodity which can be exchanged or secured by pilgrimages or fasting or praying or doing or acting.

Noah’s sons mother could not save him, he did not find Paradise at his mother’s feet. ( 🙂 Paradise wasn’t found at their mother’s feet for Abu Lahabs children ( : ) Neither was Paradise found at the Mothers feet by Lots children ( ). Proving conclusively only God saves, Not Mothers. Not even wives of Prophets or Prophets themselves (9:113). Abraham prays for the forgiveness of his father (9:114, 14:41, 19:47, 60:4).

Salvation is assured for Noah and Lot (7:72,83), God saved Moses (2:49,50, 7:141, ) God saves Joe Bloggs, God saved Muhammad ( )

Mother Like No Other’
A myth which is too easily disproven throughout The Quran. It simply doesn’t stand logically, let alone morally or religiously. Consider for example, a mother who at best is unlearned or ignorant towards the verses of The Quran, worse still she’s engaged In unforgiveable sins of 1.Association of anyone something in the worship of God i.e ‘Shirk’, as though they had fallen from they sky and snatched by birds or the wind carried them away into a remote place (22:31) or 2. Magic & Witchcraft, Djinns and Sorcery, Superstitions (5:103) It’s pretty much Destination: Hell. Front Row Seats.

More to the point how on earth can such a morally bankrupt mother act as an Guarantor for her childrens Admission into Paradise when it’s highly probable and quite likely she has secured Hellfire herself. Joining the tea party of the Mother of Lots children, the Mother of Abu Lahabs children, and the Mother of Noahs son.

Chocolate teapot.
In 2022 a Peer & his wife (someone’s Mother) – were caught performing Witchcraft & Magic during Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi. In 2023. More recently the world famous Mufti Menk with millions of followers shared social media of a Russian Witch (someone’s Mother) claiming ‘Witchcraft doesn’t work on Muslims because they pray Namaz / Salah (predominately in Mosques) and so they are in constant connection with their Aggregator’. Safe Spaces.

However from The Quran we learn muslims can be praying Namaz/ praying Salat but distracted amidst prayers thinking about their Bank Balances or to be seen of praying for PR (4:142,143, 8:35, 9:54, 107:1-7). Besides, each and every soul has a direct connection with God – throughout the Day and Night, when you’re not in prayer. No doubt you too are familiar with muslims who’ve been and done Hajj, they pray Salah/ Namaz 5-A-DAY and wear Hijab or Islamic dress code – but they’re still proper Evil for want of a better word. Furthermore we learn the only protection is God-cognizance which can only be developed via The Quran.

Open sesame
Directly from the Quran we learn the second of two guaranteed routes into Paradise is via The Quran. The first being The Golden Ticket (9:111) same one offered up to the Jews and Christians. 3:195, 4:75 100, 16:41, 22:58,59 reinforced and supported by eighty verses. Emulating the emigration of Abraham (29:26) and Moses (28:21-26). Second to The God-cognizant (Mutaqi, mutaqeen) which can only be developed by The Quran which teaches God-cognizance thereby Morality. Good deeds are all well and good but deeds can be rendered worthless (6:88, 7:147, 9:69) like ashes the wind blows on a stormy day (14:18). Like dust on a smooth stone hit by a downpour (2:264, 25:23). Like a mirage of water in a desert, Nothing (24:39,40)

Chicken Wings
By giving birth a woman does not transform into an some angel-like being to exercise control to the Doors of Heaven into the Gates of Paradise – far from it. For Mothers believing this, can only lead to complacency and ignorance, arrogance. Discriminatory against women who are barren or don’t have children for whatever reason because she didn’t qualify for Mother status and so denied Paradise, allegedly. The ugly duckilng.

Tied to his Mother’s apron strings
‘Be careful who you trust, because those closest to you, your brothers and sisters can do the most damage to you’ as the saying goes. There’s a level of vulnerability, skeletons in the closet from your naive childhood used as leverage and emotional abuse. Exasperated by inbreeding and arranged marriages and family politics causing estrangement between siblings. Joseph betrayed by his eleven brothers, Sibling rivalry, O son of my mother 7:150, 20:94 Scrambled eggs.

To put all your eggs in one basket
Its proven there’s no guarantee Paradise lays at your mother’s feet. The Quran is the only Guidance. God encourages the readership to set aside all other sources of Religious knowledge to trust in The Quran alone. To believe it contains all the Guidance you’ll ever need. To put all your time and effort into understanding The Quran. Not to pick out favorite verses but to embrace all verses to develop a balanced perspective and moral reasoning.

Waffles
Lest imagine, hypothetically Paradise did lie at the feet of Mothers, in believing you’ve admitted yourself into Paradise without Judgement Day therefore re-wrote the rule book, which would render the purpose of Worldly Life as Useless and undermine The Hereafter.

In God we trust.
To be overly dependent and reliant on it, not to opt for diversification to take alternatives, a well-diversified portfolio of hadiths… which offer more flexibility and fun too by undermining and disregarding key concepts ie not to dabble in any form of Usury, not to sellout by conferring favor to acquire more. To trust in God I.e. Tawakkal to be assured, and convinced God provided you with all the Guidance that you’ll need (Go down) – Ever.

Fly the coop
Muslims have overcooked the ‘Stay with your mother’ hadith championed in sermons in mosques and Islamic centers recirculated by Muftis and Peers alike. By contrast The Quran encourages Muslims to emigrate to help the oppressed and transgressed (4:75,100) Hadiths re-condition Muslims to stay home and care for your Mother. It was reported by someone heard another to have heard someone to say that the Prophet Muhammad tell a young man intending to emigrate “Stay with your Mother for Paradise is at her feet”. Sunan al-Nasai Hadith No: 3,104 Graded Authentic by Saudi. “Your Mother, your Mother, your Mother”. Bukhari Hadith No.5,626. Published posthumously 200 years after Prophet Muhammads death.

■ The Carrot and Stick

Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and ends approximately six weeks later on Maudy Thursday known as The Last Supper (5:114) or Holy Saturday and Easter. Christians used to put a small cross on their foreheads using ash, as a sign of confession and to help people remember that they rely upon God for Forgiveness from their sins.

Jesus went into the desert to fast and pray (Bible Matthew 26,39) for forty days and forty nights; it was during this time that Satan tried to tempt him (Mark 1:13; Matthew 4:1–11; Luke 4:1–13.) Christians today, prefer a reduced version of fasting by giving up a piece of food or chocolate or drink for Lent instead. A heavily discounted level of fasting is observed by Jews who fast only for two days a year, 24 hours on the Days of Yom Kippur and Tisha B’Av. Albeit not according to Moses after he spent 40 days with God (7:14).

For Muslims, Ramadan is detailed in 5 precise verses dispensing the discretion exercised by the Christians and the Jews of The Abrahamic Faith of Islam. 5 verses is all it took for the Muslims to fast you’d be fooled to think. Which explain the reasoning and the purpose of fasting, the number of fasts (for a month) and how many hours (sunrise to sunset), any exemptions and highlighting the benefits and clarify Rewards (Quran 2:183-187). Fasting is mentioned in passing in two other verses of 33:35 and 44:1-8, 97:1-5 regarding The Qurans revelation during Ramadan.

Rabbit food
For some reason someone somewhere decided in their better Judgement during Ramadan the Gates of Heaven are flung open wide & the Gates of Hell drawn closed, and every Devil is chained up. (Sunan an-Nasa’i 2106 In-book reference : Book 22, Hadith 17).

The Quran only makes specific reference of ‘ 7 Gates of Hell’ but nothing about them being closed shut for Ramadan (2:183-187). There also much detail about Paradise and the seven heavenly skies, no mention about Gates named. Theres also much detail about Satan and Devils but nothing about chaining or detaining Satan. Believing so, can only lead to complacency and false hope. Simmering

Clean plate
Served up with a second hadith which promises Expiation of Sin – specifically all previous sins will be forgiven.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 1901 In-book reference : Book 30, Hadith 11). Supplemented by a 3rd which states Fasting is a shield. (Sahih Muslim 1151c In-book reference : Book 13, Hadith 211). Quran explains the purpose of fasting Ramadan is to teach mankind God-cognizance (taqwa) to become grateful and appreciative.

A fourth which describes a Gate of Paradise named by someone somewhere as ‘Rayan’ through which only the people who fast would enter on the Day on Resurrection. (Sahih Muslim 1152 In-book reference : Book 13, Hadith 216).

Another which equates 1 day of fasting equates to putting 70 years distance between you and Hell Fire (Sahih Muslim 1153 In-book reference : Book 13, Hadith 217) Not exhaustive.

Fat Tuesday
The day before Ash Wednesday is Fat Tuesday, commonly known as Pancake day. When all the flour and eggs are used up for Lent before they go wasted.

This year Ramadan commences on or about the 10 March, which is Mothers Day. Maybe an extra portal into Paradise is opened to mark the auspicious occasion. Further to ‘The Gate of Fasting’ opened into Paradise albeit not mentioned in The Quran, along with ‘The Gate of Mothers Feet’ also not mentioned in The Quran. All of which somewhat changes the motivations for fasting, incentivised by sins being removed i.e conditional worship. A popular myth that rabbits need lots of carrots and lettuce. In fact, while carrots are fine as an occasional treat, rabbits don’t actually eat fruit or vegetables in the wild. Carrot Cake.

Bright eyed and bushy tailed
Some 1,400 years after The Quran was conveyed advising muslims and mankind to fast from sunrise to sunset for one month every year, the benefits of fasting are still being discovered. Without stating the obvious fasting helps with weight loss, lowers the blood pressure, promotes cognitive function, benefits your heart and mind. Reduces inflammation, supports blood sugar management, may reduce cancer risk, lowers cholesterol, and so much more.

[■] Bunnies Galore

Rabbits are often used as a symbol of fertility or rebirth, and have long been associated with spring and Easter as the Easter Bunny. From The Quran we come to learn about fertility, whilst muslims have had much to say about it too, as published in Hadiths.

Mini-eggs
Muslims seem to be apt at procreation but redundant at studying the Quran. Which not only requires less effort but offers a much more enjoyable and stimulating experience, giving you peace of mind, occupying your headspace. Instead of craving Mini-Me’s and Better-Me’s – At any cost.

Adopt an orphan
From the quran we learn about

i. Moses was adopted from a cradle abandoned in the River (28:9) ‘comfort of the eye,

ii. Joseph sold as a slave and adopted (12:21),

iii. Muhammad adopted as an orphan (43:31, 93:6)

iv. Muhammad adopted Zayd (33:37).

If you’re Muslim, odd are you can probably count on one hand the number of Muslimsyou know who’ve adopted.

For some reason Muslims are actively discouraged from adopting orphans by hadiths and sunnah embroiled into culture. Fatwa passed by someone somewhere, another one. Despite government support and funding available, muslims are discouraged from adopting – at any cost.

In fact The Quran contains more verses about Orphans than it does about Mothers and Parents, 2:215,220 4:1-10,36,127 6:152, 17:34,35, 18;77,82, 33:37, 76:8, 89:17, 93:1-11, 107:1-7,

An estimated 153 million children worldwide are orphans (UNICEF) and up to 210 million. Israel has created at least 30,000 orphans in the past 3 months.

Turkey teeth
There’s nothing Islamic or Natural about Fertility treatments of IVF, Womb transplants or Cosmetic surgery. A life-threatening organ transplant or add-ons of spectacles to correct vision does not compare to medical intervention for the purpose of conception or artificial beauty. An add-on of a hearing aid or dentures, do not compare to extracting cells and implantation to create Artificial Progeny.

Simply because you can live just as well, most probably better without children. Without plumped lips or nose jobs, implants and reductions and enhancements, Botox and hair transplants etcetera. best described as vanities.

From a set of verses we learn not to change our natural state, to accept Divine Decree, not to meddle with God’s creation. Because God created mankind Perfect (3:6, (4:119) 23:14, 22:5, 27:88, 30:30, 32:7-9, 64:3, 95:4). From a sperm to clot to lump of flesh to bones covered with flesh into the best of stature. Perfectly balanced and individual. Two feet, two hands, two lips, two eyes (90:8-20) two ways, two ears with one mouth. Fingertips (75:4).

Smarties Easter Egg
Muslims have normalised IVF, playing Frankenstein. Someone somewhere passed fatwas and rulings in their better judgement than God. From The Quran it’s crystal clear any non-natural process of conception is not encouraged, according to contentment verses and verses about Divine Decree and to Trust in God, Kun Fayakun.Islamic Rulings which undermine or insult God’s Divine Supremacy. Fatwas have been passed to make permissable ‘Assisted Reproductive Technology’ such as egg freezing and embryo freezing, sperm-on-ice. Similarly Judaism allows all techniques of assisted reproduction. Medically induced ovulation and stimulation. Fallopian tube surgery, and endometriosis, fibroids. Surgical extractions of sperm and eggs, fertilized in a laboratory, then implanted and returned into the womb. Blue smarties with white stripes.

Be and It is.
From The Quran we develop an understanding that God could create children without mankind extracting and implanting sperm cells into wombs. Without test tubes and injections and human involvement. Proven by

1. The first humans Adam and Eve were created without a Mother or Father. In the same manner they multiplied by Kun Fayakun (3:59) without incest or inbreeding.

2. Jesus was born to a virgin mother and without a father (2:117, 3:47,59, 19:35) by Kun Fayakun.

3. Abrahams old and barren wife gave birth (11:72,73) by Kun Fayakun.

4. John was born to old and barren parents Zachairah (3:40, 19:4,5) by Kun Fayakun.

5. Jacob fathered twelve children including Joseph (12:4,100) by Kun Fayakun.

6. Self-fertilization is evident and occurs in bisexual organisms, including most flowering plants and many invertebrates, ants and bees.

7. if God willed every woman could birth 100 children at once like the Seahorse, or eye-watering 360 babies spanned during their lives like the European Rabbit (35:16)

Or did you think, it’s beyond the capacity and capability of God? The heavens & earth are a much greater than mankind ( : )

Kinder Surprise
Despite the blasphemy and contempt of mankind, God The Most Merciful gives Life after mankind has finished meddling playing Frankenstein (35:11, 40:68). Pigs are forbidden for Muslims but God creates them and allows them to live. As a Test of Faith. Polytheists, sinners too.

Each and every minute 260 chidren are born, that’s almost 400,000 birth every day. 2.1 babies per woman is the replacement level to sustain the global population. Boy or Girl (16:57-59, 28:4, 42:49,50, 43:16,17, 53:20,21,45, 75:36-39, 81:8,9) Male or Female.

Catholicism takes a pretty strong stance against IVF. The Church prohibits any type of contraception which takes place outside marital Union and rules out the use of assisted reproductive technology. Unlike muslims who’ve trimmed verses, snipped corners and remodeled the religion, Respectfully The Christian Catholic Church has remained firm in faith unlike the Abrahamic Faiths of Judaism and Islam.

A test of faith
In ample verses throughout the Quran mankind and muslims alike are reminded by God that children are a ‘fitnah’ (63:9 (6:39)). A blessing in disguise to test your faith in God. They require unreserved care and attention and investment, there serve as a distraction (8:28, 18:46, 64:14) at best (9:55,85, 34:35) a test of faith (17:64, 34:37). Anyone who has many children is deemed ‘blessed’ and ‘normal’ (23:55,56), but anyone barren or celibate (31:34, 42:50), otherwise with disabled (13:8, 36:66,67) or estranged children (18:74,80,81) branded as ‘cursed’ or ‘doomed’ or ‘punished’ according to mankind’s half-baked Wisdom.

Like Rabbits
Muslims have certainly mastered the art of craftsmanship and making babies, but cuckoo land when it concerns the Quran. Our primary function is to reflect upon verses of The Quran , to put to good and proper use faculties of intellect and eyesight and hearing – to ponder and contemplate verses of The Quran. To use your eyesight to read verses of the Quran, hearing to listen to verses. To use your intellect to ponder over verses and find understanding. Tu’er Shen or Tu Shen, is a Chinese deity who manages love and sex between men. His name literally means “rabbit deity”. His adherents refer to him as Ta Yeh. In a folk tale from 17th century Fujian, a soldier is in love with a provincial official, and spies on him to see him naked.

Some Mothers do av em
Children are a WANT not a NEED.

It’s proven, humans can live without children, there’s yet to be a single case where either a man or moreso a woman dropped dead because they didn’t have children. Proving having children is not a NEED, rather a want. Some have children owing to the byproduct of sexual desire, others want a heir to inherit their legacy i.e wealth preservation and to continue the bloodline. Retirement plan to care for you, or keeping up with the Joneses. As a control option for insecurities. Your faith will be tested through the health and wellbeing for your children. Whilst satan has declared it will test your faith by your children and your wives (17:64, 64:14). Best case children are a distraction, worse case a liability.

Children are not a Property, parents do not have ownership rights over them. They belong to God, for God created them, sustains them and you too.

Celibacy is always an option in the fine examples of Mary, Jesus and John – abstained. God explains in the examples of Zachairah and Abraham and Mary, Jesus that God does not need mankind to procreate.

■ April showers bring May Flowers

The Quran is just like the rain in spring which helps to nourish the soil, which in turn leads to beautiful flowers blooming. Daffodils.

Let it Rain
God compares Worldly Life to Rainfall (10:24, 18:44, 57:20) it falls from the sky to beautify the earth which sustains mankind and then – Gone like the winds. As though Worldly Life never happened. Thunder Glorifies God (13:13) as do Angels. A few drops on high ground are sufficient for garden to bloom (2:265). For others a downpouring will not yield a flower (2:264).

Harvest
From The Quran we learn we each have a choice – to go all out here and now i.e yolo and indulge in the Harvest of Worldly Life (10:24) Or to forsake Worldly Life for the Harvest of the Hereafter (93:4). Increase your harvest in the Hereafter (42:20) or reap your rewards in Worldly Life. Trade-off. Charity is like a seed of grain which grows 7 stems each with a 100 grains. (2:261). Multiplied.

Instead they sold the Hereafter at the price of Worldly Life. Trials and tribulations- Fitnah results in exposing eliminating the dead buds, regrowth, better growth. A seed grows by permission of God ( 6:95) o4 did mankind think they grew it? (56:63,64) Does mankind think they created fire too? (56:71,72) Mankind takes credit for their effort of planting a seed, but without mankind’s involvement many seeds were planted and bloomed – Earth.

A spring in your step
The Quran makes you feel energetic and motivated. Verses which develop optimism and contentment. To be reminded of your purpose – quite simply to Worship God and be God-cognizant. Irrespective of your ranks and wealth and ability – Happiness. It’s all the springtime you’ll ever need, akin to warmer weather and longer days which brings about a sense of joy. Clear skies on a sunny day, seven heavenly skies – without rifts. Neither does God need mankind to clear the contrails left in the sky by airplanes. Birds held up in flight with wings (67:19), we don’t need Einstein to understand mankind did not create gravity. Wright brothers didn’t teach birds how to fly.

Spring cleaning
Spring is a great time start afresh with faith and getting rid of the old cutter and legends and fables, folklore and isms. To separate the religion from the folklore, and throw away traditions, recycle the good stuff and trash the rest. Re-Focus on the Quran.

Busy bee
Today, 9.9999/10 ‘born’muslims are unlearned to the Quran. Most are very busy, hardworking and productive overclocking the hours. Like bees working tirelessly to collect pollen and nectar for their hives Muslims are busy bees. Always on the go. Proven competent to get educations and qualifications, to secure employment and work, run businesses, and manage households. Overly capable to procreate and laying eggs, but intellectually challenged by The Quran. An easier read than most books containing 77k words, 1/10th the size of The Bible which averages 777k words. From 66 books to 81 books, hatched.

With The Quran set aside and shrouded in a green cloth to preserve its honor – shelved in preference for a monkey or two. Only because it wasn’t revealed until them and their forefathers in their mother tongue.

Bloom where you are planted
The Quran encourages mankind and muslims alike to make the best of their current situation, no matter where they are. It’s a great reminder to be grateful for the little things in everyday life. Even if things aren’t perfect, we can still grow and flourish. To be satisfied with the situation – not of your making. The Grass may be Greener – still needs to be mowed

Willy wonkas chocolate factory
Blackburn with Darwen is the most deprived district in England, United Kingdom ranked Top 10 Deprivation Index. Home to 4,000 potholes, the infamous Pendle Witches of Lancashire and 2 Issa Billionaires with their 5 ‘McMansions’ dubbed ‘the five ugly sisters’ nearby their 5 million Mosque. Another one, Topping up on more than 60 mosques in an area of 50 sq miles. Sixty Lots guaranteed themselves Paradise according to a Hadith which guarantees Paradise for building a Mosque. Only another 12 mosques required to satisfy the 72 Sects by Hadith, a Mosque for each. Isms.

Don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched!
Similarly muslims have assured themselves of Paradise by way of 5-A-DAY and 5-Pillars. We learn from the quran that simply performing 5-a-day does not warrant Paradise or Righteousness nor protection. UV. As we learn about muslims praying salat to be seen of praying, PR and distracted amidst prayers. Shukr. Quran makes no mention of Paradiae banked for 5-the A-DAY or 5-PILLARS. None whatsoever.

Egg and Spoon Race
From the Qursn we learn Worldly Life is not a race of who accumulates the most wealth or the most children. We learn our primary purpose is in fact to embrace The Guidance of The Quran ( Go forth). That’s all it was about. Wealth is predetermined, and children too. Some are born wealthy sitting on the side lines, others graft all their lives and overclocking hours and hoarding and being miserly to accomplish not much in terms of real wealth. Proving mankind has little control over their wealth, its predestined.

Faberge Egg
The Quran teaches us about Wealth and Divine Decree. That Wealth is predestined for Muslims, along with several milestones in your life such as your health, children and the time and place of your death (31: ). We learn some were predetermined to be wealthy, others poor no matter how hard they work. No matter what you do to become wealthy, if you’re supposed to be a Millionaire, you would, as many are and many will become. Many intellectual and hardworking and able people will never become wealthy, and vice versa. Many will sell any morals they did have and integrity in the cheap.

No matter how many taxi drivers you bully and clobber with your prosthetic for a better fare, regardless of how many more hours you are enslaved to the taxi rank greedily while claiming benefits, universal credit too.,I Nor is it praiseworthy. Studies prove it takes 3 generation to lose any wealth you did accumulate – first generation ‘the builder’ accumulates wealth by hard graft, the second generation ‘the maintainer’ preserves it, and the third generation ‘the squander’ – ‘the three generation curse’.

A Peerless act of Self-Sabotage.
From The Quran we learn God extends & restricts provisions for whomsoever God wills (13:26 +/- 17:20-30 +/- 28:82 +/- 30:37 +/- 34:36,39 +/- 39:52 +/- 42:12,19 +/- 89:15-20). God humbles whomever God wills & grants sovereignty (2:247, 3:26, 20:114). God is Subtle (6:103, 12:100, 22:63, 31:16, 33:34, 42:19, 67:14) – it could well be if you had been given the wealth of Pharaoh you too would’ve lost the plot (42:27, 47:37) like every other Billionaire has proven, that’s one thousand million more than a millionaire. We also learn any form of interest (RIBA%) is strictly prohibited, be that on loans or savings or credit and finance, along with any form of gambling including Stocks & Shares (2:275) better-off being God-cognizant (3:130, 6:32) and contented (15:88, 20:131)

[■] Happy Bunny

Spring is also the time to celebrate Easter with all that chocolate in the shape of eggs and bunnies.

The Best Inheritance
Directly from a powerhouse verse in The Quran, 35:32 we learn The Quran is ‘The Best Inheritance’ – literally. Not by physically holding it or reciting its verses without understanding the words. Rather ‘inheritance’ in the context of the ability to embrace The Quran, jigsaw-like the pieces fit. To develop God-cognizance and protected in a state of xzikkr. No amount of wealth compares., inherited or not.

To become occupied by its verses fascinated leaving you in awe. Contented by it, not needing to refer to secondary sources of man-made religion for ‘Clarification’ of an already ‘Clarified Book’, as self-proclaimed ‘Book of Clarification’. Or consult someone to soften the directness of the verses. The Quran is Book which ‘checks itself’. It doesn’t need mankind to explain or clarify verses – because its ‘Clarification of All Things’ (16:89, 22:16). It’s the ‘The Best Explanation’ (25:33), and the Best Clarification (75:16-19),

Most ‘born muslims’ will learn to read The Quran in Arabic to recite it eloquently like medication, melodically in a language they don’t understand for decades, none the wiser. Few will memorize the entire Quran, revision-like but never get around to translating it into a language they do understand, on repeat. Somehow they became blessed spiritually and meditate, levitate too. Got Qualificatons but never got an Education. Few will read it only in translated versions, in English to make sense of it all, looking for answers after a catastrophe or tribulations, but struggle to read it in Arabic, not their mother-tongue anyhow. Similarly most Arabic speakers will never read it and instead rely on next-man or the one next to him. Some will read it once a year and set it aside, to forget its teachings or dismiss it and disregard it a few weeks later. Others will read it surface level, like a Newspaper, or just browse, window-shopping. Not to ponder too much, tick-box checked, sorted. Most Muslims will never get around to understanding the verses of The Quran because they’re too occupied with the World of Hadiths and satisfied with hearsay, busied in Worldy Life. Say a Prayer instead. Offset.

The Quran is Non-Exclusive – For All Mankind. Irrespective of your appearance or ethnicity. God describes three types of people in this verse (35:32) who inherit the Quran; i) among them is one who wrongs himself, ii) those who are moderate and iii) others foremost in good deeds – by permission of God.

Unconditional worship
From The Quran we learn the purpose of worship is unconditional. Not to earn points or collect tokens of redemption, golden stars of forgiveness. Not to get your prayers accepted for wealth and health and children and whatever else your mind is occupied with. All of which makes worship conditional. You’re expecting something more than.Rather to worship God, because that’s your purpose (51:56) until there comes to you the certainty of death (15:99). What would God care for your existence except for your supplication in worship? (25:77).

To give maximum charity and expect no reward or payback, to fast Ramadan simply because God counselled you to do so, to undertake pilgrimage because God decided it upon you, to pray to God in worship, to bow and prostrate to God in worship, to be mindful of God in worship and to Remember God in worship.God is Free of Need (2:263,267, 3:97, 4:131-133, 6:133, 10:68, 14:8,19 22:24, 27:40, 29:6, 31:12,26, 35:15,16, 39:7, 47:38, 57:24, 60:6, 64:6).

God-cognizant
From many verses in The Quran we learn much about being God-cognizant. متقي To become conscious of God, mindful of God وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ = Paradise ready. In Arabic تقوى the word ‘taqwa’ is used, in the plural ‘mutaqeen’ الْمُتَّقِينَ or variations thereof.

It’s demonstrated from examples, illustrations, commandments and counsel to mankind and prophets who passed before which we come to learn about throughout The Quran.

‘God-cognizance’ can’t be bought or sold, transferred, or inherited; it can’t be turned ON/ OFF. It’s a state of mind which can only be learned and developed from understanding and reflecting upon the verses of The Quran and contemplating as much as possible, to counterbalance forgetfulness and distractions of Worldly Life.

From more than 80 verses in The Quran we learn about ‘taqwa’ – God-cognizance. Widely misunderstood and increasingly redefined as Fear ‘kauf’ of God (24:52, 31:33) or Piety ‘al-birr’ (5:2) or Righteousness ‘saliheen’ and everything else.

‘Taqwa’ – state of being conscious of God can only be learned and developed from embracing The Quran amd reflecting upon its verses. Which teaches mankind Morality. Its not exclusive for ‘muslims’ only, The Quran is available and accessible to non-muslims.

In 8:34 God makes clear the true custodians of The House of Abraham are the God-cognizant (8:34) not the wealthy Arabs faking salah (8:35) (4:142,143, 8:35, 9:54, 107:4,5 and 9:19-22, 97). Are they really so deluded to think they’re Made because they provided water for the pilgrims or maintained the upkeep by spending the wealth endowed upon them by God via oil (8:34).

God-cognizant Verses 2:2,21’,24,41,4l,48,66,103,123,189,194, 196,197,203, 206, 212, 223, 224, 281, 282, 283 | 3:15,102, 130, 133,138,172,186,198,200 4:76, 131 5:8,11,96,100 6:69,72 7:37,63 8:34*, 9:4,7, 13:35, 15:45, 16:28,30, 19:63, 22:1 23:32, 52, 87 | 24:34, 52 | 25:15,74 26:106, 108, 110, 124, 131, 142, 177, 184 | 28:83, 31:31, 33 | 33:32, 35, 70 | 36:45 | 37:24 | 38:49, 39:10, 16, 61, 73 | 41:18 | 43:35, 63 | 44:51, 45:19 | 47:17,36 | 49:1, 10, 12 | 50:31 | 51:15, 52:17, 53:32, 54:54, | 57:28 | 58:9 | 59:2, 7, 18 | 70:27, 28 | 71:3 | 77:41, 78:3, 92:5 (Not exhaustive)

Despite muslims best efforts The Quran is simply too powerful a Book to be misinterpreted. It governs itself by oft-repeated verses. Case in point, the Arabic word ‘taqwa’ has been redefined as ‘fear’ and/or ‘righteous/ reformers’ and/or ‘piety’ and/or by all schools of thought. Imams and scholars increasingly broadening its definition with widening meanings.

Back to basics, directly from The Quran we can appreciate verses containing the words ‘saliheen’ and/or ‘taqwa’ and/or ‘al-bir’ and/or ‘kauf’ used independently and separately within the same verse interchangeably.

Separate the yolk from the white
The 14 verses verses are 2:177,189,224, 3:198, 4:9,77,128, 5:2,93, 24:52, 31:33, 33:77 , 38:28 , 58:9 (Not exhaustive).

The word ‘taqwa’ is used alongside the word ‘kauf’ in verses 4:9, 77, 128, 24:52, 31:33, 33:77. In these verses ‘ both ‘taqwa’ (God-cognizant) & ‘Fear of God (‘kauf’) are used. Therefore by a process of deduction it’s clear to see and understand ‘taqwa’ cannot mean ‘fear,’ because that’s ‘kauf’ already.

What’s more,

The word ‘taqwa’ is used alongside the word ‘al-birr’ in verses 2:177, 189, 3:198, 5:2, 58:9. In these verses ‘taqwa’ (God-cognizant) & Piety (‘al-birr’) are used. Therefore ‘taqwa’ cannot mean ‘piety’ because that’s ‘al-birr’ already.

Furthermore

The word ‘taqwa’ is used alongside the word ‘saliheen’ in verses 2:224, 5:93, 38:28. In these verses both words of ‘taqwa’ (God-cognizant) & Righteousness/ Reformers (‘Saliheen’) are used. Therefore ‘taqwa’ cannot mean ‘righteous/reformers’ vice versa because that’s ‘saliheen’ already.

Proving conclusively ‘taqwa’ in not translated as ‘fear’ it’s not ‘righteous/ Reformers’ and its not ‘piety’. Taqwa can only mean God-cognizant, ie to be Mindful of God.

The Quran is too powerful a Book to manipulate or misinterpret or mistranslate. Once put back into context the proceeding / before and after verses.

In transit
CONNECTING FLIGHT DEPARTS IN □□:□□ HOURS.

The Quran conditions the brain into becoming God-cognizant thereby attaining Paradise one way or the other. To live morally and die honorably. To understand Worldly Life is merely a temporary affair, akin to waiting at an airport terminal for your connecting flight to depart towards a more permanent and everlasting abode in the Hereafter. Whilst waiting at the Airport Terminal you wouldn’t get occupied with careers and money making and arrange a mortgage to buy a house and find a wife so that you can have children and leave a legacy. Just waiting around to die, as the infamous song goes. We can be distracted with where we are or we can think about where we’re going.♡

DEPARTING IN □□:□□ MINUTES

In the grander scale of things, equivalence to an hour of the day, or several hours, or an afternoon, or a morning (10:45, 17:52, 20:102-104, 23:112-115, 30:55,56, 46:35, 79:46).

Easter Egg wrapped in Green Foil
From The Quran we learn much about Paradise. The 4 Gardens of Paradise, each as wide as the heavens and earth (3:133, 55:56,66, 57:21) Rivers of Honey, Milk, Pressed Grape and Water (47:15). Every fruit at an arms length (69:24, 76:14, 77:41-44, 83:22-28) ripe for the picking, unlimited in quantity not restricted to season. Pomegranates, low hanging and dates without a stretch, Carrot Juice

A taste of Paradise.
Purified humans, harboring not a single bad thought or feeling (55:56, 74) being mindful of God, unaffected by mankind or Djinn. With your eggs cooked just as you like. Enter by the Grace of God (33:35, 44:57)

First catch your hare
From a strictly religious perspective we learn from the many oft-repeated verses throughout The Quran pertaining to Salvation and plausibility of Intercession: Or Not, its clear as eggs the only Salvation for Muslims is via The Quran which teaches Morality to become God-cognizant (‘taqwa’) & The only Intercessor is God aforementioned.

It’s plainly obvious Muslims have developed Models of Intercession & Salvation which resemble Christians and Jews – The other two Abrahamic faiths. Christians in the firm belief Jesus and/or Holy Spirit and/or Mary and/or Saints will be their Salvation to intercede for them. With Jews in the firm belief Intercession is attained via David and/or Moses and/or Ezra and/or soil. Salvation associated and attached to the state of Israel, a blessed land for the Chosen peoples.

■Walking on eggshells

Criticising the State of Israel or its Jews predominately Zionists is a fragile matter. Israel has hypnotised the world, humans across the world put under The Spell of Zionism – Zionised. Or bought their silence – ‘everyone’s got a price’, demonstrated by many Muslim nations and their Zionist Muslim Leaders. Anti-semiticised into Silence. Schtum.

Israel and its Zionist Jews is off the table. Whether that be for its settler violence in the West Bank or transgressions, apartheid and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians spanning over decades. Or more recently breaking news of IDF raping and assaulting Palestinian girls and women at gunpoint. Desecrating dead bodies, or be that for Israels Human Rights abuses of kidnapping and imprisoning Palestinians without trial, snipering protestors and children, to maim and kill them for throwing stones or Israels War Crimes and offensives against a defenceless people caged like experimental rats – ‘The Palestine Laboratory’.

Anti-Semitised
Efforts have been underway to Anti-Semitise the Palestinan flag, or anything which reminds the world about the plight of the Palestinians at the hands of The Jews. Exercising your civil liberties of Freedom of Speech & Movement by peaceful protest calling for Freedom “From the River to the Sea” is slandered as ‘Anti-Semitic Hate crime’ – Except when Netanyahu reels off “From the River to the Sea Israel Must Have Control” a slogan coined by Israel’s Zionist Jews in 1977 Charter!! Protesting for the Freedom of Palestinians on British Streets libeled as “Hate Marches” and conflated as being “Pro-Hamas” or “Islamists” in the words of UK’s (Unelected) PM Proud Hindu Zionist Rishi Sunak and Home Secretary Suella Braverman, the Buddhist wife of a proud Zionist Jew.

You’re Fired
Anyone caring or sympathising and showing compassion for the human species of Palestinians is branded “Anti-Semitic” by the Pro-Zionist lobby. It’s a career-ender for Professors and Doctors and Teachers, marks the end of the road for Drivers, and for Politicians and Comedians alike it’s a show-stopper. Cancelled.

Accusations of ‘Trivialisation of the Holocaust’ bandied around. A tragedy which killed 11 million humans including 6 million Jews (alongside 5 million Non-Jews). Somehow calling for a ‘Ceasefire’ is also “Legitimizing Anti-Semitism”. At this rate, being Anti-Zionist i.e Pro-Human – will become valid grounds to claim Unemployment benefits because ‘Being Human’ keeps getting you fired, or leaves you ‘Unemployable’.

Criticising the State of Israel for its Racism and Apartheid and Genocide against another Humans (Palestinians) is not Anti-Semitism. Anyone claiming so is merely trying to shut-down and attack Pro-Palestine voices. The Pro-Zionist lobby for Israel.

Silence The Humans.
Pro-Israel Zionists evoking the memory of the Holocaust which killed 11 million humans including 6 million Jews (and 5 million Non-Jews) to stoke Anti-Palestinian racism, to justify its oppression against Palestinians, and to shield itself from international law. Even the ICJ which was setup in the wake of the Holocaust (which killed 6 million Jews (and 5 million Non-Jews too..!!)) investigating Israel for War Crimes is “accused of “Pure Anti-Semitism” in the precise words of PM Netanyahu a proud Zionist, and father of 3 children Noa, Yair and Avner Netanyahu. Netan’yah’u translated as ‘God (Yah) has given’.

On the other hand, showing compassion or sympathy for the 11 million humans of which 6 million happened to be Jews (and 5 million Non-Jews)) persecuted during the Holocaust – as any human being is naturally inclined to do so – is not equally ‘Anti-Semitic’ according to the same standards applied by the State of Israel and its Zionists – Jews and non-Jews alike. Gobstopper.

A large onion to peel
A few years before The State of Israel was carved out of from The Land of Palestine in 1948 by the British, during WW2 1939-45, approximately 75 million people were killed. Of which 25 million were Russian including 19 million civilians from Soviet Union died, 17 million Chinese were killed by the Japanese, 7 million Germans killed including 5 million military personnel. Less then half a million British people were killed with 1.5 million Muslims killed in action serving in the British Army. Whilst the Nazis exterminated 11 million people in Europe during the Holocaust – including 6 million Jews. Not to mention 5 million Non-Jewish ethnic minorities deemed ‘Unworthy of Life’ were killed i.e LQBTQIA and Polish and Slavs, Romas, Africans, Gypsies, Jehovas Witness etc. To make way for Nazi Germans to create a ‘Master Race’. Thoroughbred.

Do you condemn the Jews and their Zionist State of Israel?
Since 7 October 2023, The Jews have killed more than 30,000 Humans (Palestinian (Muslims)) including more than 13,000 children, 10,000 women, injured more than 67,000 humans, leaving more than 20,000 children orphaned with hundreds of thousands of children facing starvation, 570,000 humans are facing catastrophic hunger. Each and every Palestinian and child alike has suffered psychological trauma at the hands of the Jews and/or Zionists. Consequently 2 million people displaced, destroyed 80% of the infrastructure of homes, hospitals, schools, mosques and churches. Only made possible with the “‘unwavering support”‘ of countries such as the UK, USA, Germany, this humanitarian disaster in Gaza has been accomplished.

Similarly the 130 hostages being cared for by Hamas does not compare to 6,000 Palestinians held without trial or charge in Israeli Prisons before 7 Oct. A further 7,000 Palestinians kidnapped and detained unlawfully after Oct 7 – without trial or charge for ransom. Compared to Israels IDF widely shown to be terrorising Palestinians on the worlds stage and slaughtering non-combatants, Hamas has proven to be compassionate and humane towards its captives. In accordance to The Quran verses and in compliance to the Geneva Conventions. Toe the line or be accused of “Anti-Semitism” orelse be insinuated as “Hamas Sympathiser”.

Necessity is the Mother of Inventions
It’s hardly a secret, the day before on Oct 6th, Palestinians were already stuck between a rock and a hard place, oppressed and transgressed and terrorised by Israel for decades, existing under an open-air prison. Several smaller scale offensives have been executed by Israel over several years, Marketing it as “Mowing the Lawn” killing thousands of civilians, as practice and build-up.

Trauma like this does not disappear overnight, it will take decades for Gaza to heal. Another generation pushed and shoved onto the path of Martyrdom (2:246, 4:75,95, 16:41, 22:39, 47:4-6) , alienating and radicalising millions around the World and exasperating Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia and fueling the far-right. As demonstrated by Suella Bravermans words which dog-whistled Britain’s Far-Right Extremists against peaceful Pro-Life Supporters of Palestine. After all Zionism promotes Islamophobia and Racism in general, Failsafe.

I see Humans but i don’t see Humanity
Being Pro-Israel is in fact the same as being Pro-Zionism, because Israel is a Zionist State with successive far-right zionist governments. Israel claims to be a Democracy, like the UK and USA. Yet not a single mass Pro-Human (Pro-Palestine) Pro-Life protest has taken place on the streets of Israel. To stand up for injustice, for humanity’s sake. Israel has killed 30,000 civilians (Muslims) in 130 Days, of which more than 13,000 children killed – Plausibly. In revenge for 1,500 humans killed of which 36 children were killed – as Collateral damage.

To add some perspective, Russia’s offensive on Ukraine has killed 10,000 civilians of which 550 were children in over 2 years since Putin waged war on Ukraine in Feb 2022. Israel has done in 3 months what Russia’s Putin didn’t have to heart to do in 2 years. Moral quandary.

In the ongoing genocide in Myanmar, some 10,000 Rohingya’s (Muslims) have been killed by Buddhists spanning over 6 years of ethnic cleansing and burning villages, leaving more than 1 million displaced into Bangladesh.

In the ongoing genocide against the Uyghurs (Muslims) by the Chinese over the last 8 years, over 1 million incarcerated in Nazi-like Concentration camps undergoing Forced Assimilation in Xinjiang, China. With reports a few thousand killed

Whatever your political or religious prerogative, it’s not only Morally, Ethically, Legally, Religiously Wrong – Israels retribution is Unjustifiable and disproportionate. Which can only be interpreted as the 7 million Jews resident in Israel brainwashed into a Zionist mindset which believes the extermination of 30,000 lives in 3 months is acceptable and justifiable. Political Zionism. Along with the 6 million Jews in USA Zionised, also the remainder 2 million Jews scattered around the World Pro-Zionist. How on earth does 15 million Jews become Zionised, when they themselves were slaughtered by Zionist-like-Nazis? You’d be fooled to think Jews would be the most emphatic and sympathetic peace-loving people owing to their first-hand experiences of Hitler – a Nazi Zionist.

Impunity is the handmaiden of extremism.
Despite ICJ Ruling implicating Israel is committing acts of genocide in Gaza, Israel continues with its Offensive and War Crimes in Palestine across Gaza. Supported financially or politically or militarily by The West and Far-Right Extremists alike such as Indias ruling Hindu majority BJP, Hindutva and its ambassador UK’s Unelected PM Rasheed Sunook. Israel has been given free reign to terrorise and slaughter Palestinians for decades. It would take a single phone call from its western sponsors USA and UK to stop the genocide which has been rightfully condemned by Russia and South Africa, nevermind the Arabs of Saudi and UAE.

The Jews were slaughtered during the Holocaust (alongside 5 million Non-Jews) in Germany by the Nazis – a far-right group. Proving being far-right results in extremism onto terrorism. Today the very same Jews are supportive of Israels far-right wing government and joined forces with the far-right Nazis. Who are proudly antisemitic by nature, islamophobic too i.e Anti-Muslim Hatred

Time loop
Twice upon a time, the Jewish diaspora were the most persecuted people on earth. Saved from Pharoah by Moses who parted the seas by permission of God (7:138, 10:90′, 20:77-80, 26:63-68, 28:40, 44:24, 41:40) confirming the Bible Old Testament Exodus 14 19-31. Secondly, during the Holocaust 75 years ago 6 million Jews were exterminated (alongside 5 million Non-Jews) by a far-right nazi ideology deluded in being a ‘Master Race’.

That was 75 years ago. Contrary to the Daily Mail rhetoric churned out by red-top tabloids, today Jews are the most powerful and wealthiest people on planet earth – by permission of God, second only to the Saudis worth trillions derived purely from oil wealth. In the UK Jews are second to the Aristocracy sponsored by Pro-Israel Zionist lobby.

Jews forming hotspots in Manchester and North London in the UK is not persecution or being victimised – rather its a choice. They prefer segregated lives in their own ghettos invigorated by their zionist culture and rituals and traditions. Otherwise they are driven towards the ‘State of Israel, Marketing it as ‘The Promised Land’ by ‘making Aliyah’ which is one of the basic tenets of Zionism. Offering hem a 10-year Tax Exemption, affordable housing in Kibbutz or Israeli settlements. Time warp.

The weaponisation of Anti-Semitism.
Today, generation of Jews have been conditioned into this extremism mindset of radicalism. Zionism has grown into a Monster – practising apartheid, genocide, ethnic cleaning – all the while calling out to be the victim – guilt-tripping The West for the Holocaust pleading ‘self-defence’. The only thing it can be compared to is Nazi Germany which killed 6 million Jews (along with 5 million Non-Jews LQBTQIA) by Zionist sharing the same ideology of Nazis. Zionism is a disgrace to the religion of Judaism, there’s not much Jewish about Zionism whatsoever. Zionism is a far-right extremism ideology, which betrays the Jews, and paints a target on the back of every walking Jew worldwide.

Palestine has a Right to Defend itself
Pro-Palestine is Pro-Peace, Pro-Justice, Pro-Freedom. History also proves it was the Palestinian Muslims who came to the aid of Jews (Zionists) before, during and after the Holocaust which killed 6 million Jews (and 5 million Non-Jews. (Lest We Forget)). They stood up against Racism of the Nazis and hosted Jews giving them refuge and safe spaces after they became persecuted, which was only made possible by the unwavering support of the UK and USA reluctant to save them so that they could rid themselves of “The Jewish problem”. Not forgetting the 5 million Non-Jews and LQBTQIA exterminated during the Holocaust.

The Soldiers of God
Israels Offensives on Gaza & Al-Aqsa Mosque has once again activated the ‘Mujahidin ‘ (“The Soldiers of God”); Hezbullah (‘The Army of God’) in Lebanon backed by Iran on the Northern Front, Yemens Youthis AnsarAllah (‘The Supporters of God’) are targeting vessels from the South in support of the oppressed Palestinians & Al-Aqsa Mosque despite being bombed into famine by their Muslim brethren Saudi Arabia – The Mother of Cities (6:92). Alongside the armed wing of Hamas – The Al-Qassam Brigades known as “The Guardians of the Al-Aqsa Mosque”. Still waiting on the battlefield for IDF playing rabbit, in a long overdue ground battle in Gaza popping a tank here and there fashioned in trench coats. The Palestinian Resistance movement Hamas is not designated as a terrorist group by the United Nations Security Council. Palestine has a Right to armed struggle – to Exist.

A few days ago 26 Feb 2024, an Active U.S Air Force member Aaron Bushnell aged 25 set himself on fire at the Israeli Embassy and died shouting FREE PALESTINE. His final words were ”I will no longer be complicit in genocide, I’m about to engage in an extreme act of protest, but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, is not extreme at all” Rest in peace brother.

The Mother of all Evils – Zionism
Since 7 October 2023 it’s becoming increasing noticeable on the world stage there appears to be little difference between IDF and ISIS i.e Zionism and Islamism respectively. It’s clear both ‘isms’ are mirror images of one another. The Jewish ideology of Zionism which aims to reclaim ‘a Promised Land’ for a ‘Superior species’ overshoots the Islamism ideology of a Caliphate fantasied by ISIS. The underpinnings of both ideologies of ISIS and Zionism is a revival of a religious state with structured religious values, exclusively by discrimination. Evidently islamism is the lesser evil compared to Zionism, which is Nazism on steroids.

Jewish Supremacy
The crux of Zionism is Jews are a ‘Superior Race’ according to its founding document stating “Our race is the Master Race. We are Divine Gods on this planet. We are different from the inferior races as they are from insects” (Zionist) PM of Israel 1980.

The British Government has aided and abetted otherwise supported Zionists since November 2nd, 1917. Proven by the infamous letter from UKs Foreign Office widely publicised;

‘Dear Lord Rothschild, I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty’s Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by the Cabinet. His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object. It being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.” I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation.’

Echoed 43 years later, recently by the Israel’s Zionist PM and Jewish Ministers referring to Palestinians across Social Media and News Channels as “Human Animals”, another Israeli Minister publicly declared “Human Animals must be treated as such”. And another (Zionist) Jew declared “Horrible inhuman Animals” and another saying on the record “Palestinian Animals”. For Starters.

Zionism for Dummies
For the purpose of clarification Zionists use of the word ‘they’ for ‘insects’. ‘Insects’ refers to anyone/ anything not being Jewish. Namely the Brits, their sponsors the British Non-Jews are insect like creatures, Israel’s allies the American Non-Jews are insects’. Non-Jewish Hindus and Buddhists are insects’, and Non-Jewish Arabs are insects, Sikhs and Atheists too. If you’re not Jewish than you’re an ‘insect’ according to Zionist Jews sponsors of Pro-Israel lobby – The Master Race. Yep, you too..!! And yer ma..!! Maybe the insect like humans need Solomon to communicate and explain ZIONISM FOR DUMMIES i.e Pro-Israel is Zionism which is Nazism in its purest form (27:18,19).

This Zionist ideology is taught in Jewish education systems across the world including the UK. Argentina or Palestine was offered by the British as a promised land as a safe haven for them to wait for the coming of the Messiah. Jews chose Palestine to colonise after the Holocaust, owing to British-led Balfour Declaration. ‘Christian Zionism’ believes that all Jews must be put back into Israel – a Homeland for the Jews awaiting the second coming of Jesus. After a misreading of the Bible by Protestants. Which compliments the Nazis motivation of expelling Jews or Non-Germans. Pedaled by several Prime Ministers of the UK and the aristocracy for decades. Institutionalised Zionism.

Spy in your pocket (The Palestine Laboratory)
From Israeli (Zionist) NSO Groups infamous mobile phone spyware Pegasus, Celebrite phone hacking and surveillance software used by the British Police, Nice systems of Elbit Systems used for CCTV facial recognition, MI5 and MI6 outsourcing cybersecurity to Israeli owned Zionist companies. Large Jewish owned conglomerates and powerhouses such as Oracle which manage Data for UK Home Office and Foreign Office, MOD and NHS records. Everything you do on your mobile phones and your financial transactions are monitored, recorded, and your data extracted remotely or implanted even when your phones off, inversion. Sold on to Rogue Actors and Repressive Regimes as proven and exposed recently. Global Surveillance owned or operated by Zionist Jews proven capable of monitoring atleast one billion people worldwide running around like ‘insects’. Leverage.

Toblerone Edgy Easter Egg
By permission of God, for decades Zionists have dominated Western industries of Entertainment & Media, Governing Bodies and Education Systems, Telecommunications and Journalism and everything else. In Second place after the Saudis. ‘Club Zionism’ – the most powerful networking club on earth, a grand old Pyramid Scheme for the elites.

Saudi Arabia are the wealthiest people on earth purely derived from oil, linked together with Palestine by a Quranic Verse 17:1 and being neighbors too in close physical proximity – the political and economic relations between the two couldn’t be further apart. Two nations similar in capacity, Palestinians obligated as Caretakers of The Al-Aqsa Mosque like the Saudis obligated as Caretakers of The House of Abraham better known as ‘kaba’ pussyfooting around with Normalisation with Israel and building Castles in the Sky, Cities in the Desert.

From The Quran we learn their oil-based wealth of trillions is insignificant, equivalent to a tenth of what God bestowed upon the likes of Pharoah and those who passed away (17:100, 42:27, 47:37).

Zionist like Arabs acting against Anti-Zionist Palestinians.
God blessed the Arabs with abundant wealth to make them the wealthiest on earth worth trillions derived purely from oil wealth. – not to think themselves as superior or a ‘Master race’ like the Nazis and the Zionists. Jews are the wealthiest in the world despite their historic blasphemy of Gods hands being tied (( : ). Usury is forbidden for Muslims, as is any form of gambling including trading Stocks & Shares, lottery and Interest payments (RIBA%) be that credit or debt, finance ( : ). All of which are the only means to get wealthy, the finance industry is run by the Jews, historically.

Arab-Jewry
The Arab-Jewry did not suffer the same persecution which the Jews under Christiandom in Europe did, 1/3rd of the population of Baghdad was once Jewish. Most Iraqi-Jews only moved to the ‘State of Israel after Jews caused the 1948 Nakba, as 2nd class citizens with European Jews as 1st Class citizens spearheading the emigration. The Saudi family in traces its roots back to the Jewish family of Hashemites. The Force is Strong with this One.

Anti-Semitism
Anti-Semitism – the hatred of Jews is not learned from The Quran, because the Quran fosters good relations between all humans including the Jews (30:22, 49:13 and 2:109, 4:135, 5:8,13,42 , 6:152, 24:22, ), teaching Diversity Equality & Inclusion 1400 years ago. By contrast the Jewish Talmud’s position is hypocritical to decry what the Nazis did, by calling for Holocausts using the biblical commandments to wipe out and kill the ‘Amaleks’. Echoed by Israels Zionist PM recently as justification for killing Palestinians ‘Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys”. Samuel 15:3. Insects too!!

Anti-Semitism is a racist ideology, like Zionism and Nazism and ‘isms’ can only be learned and developed in a select number of ways:

1. Inherited from parents and guardians and kin throughout childhood, friends and peers etc

2. From Non-Quranic literature including more than 639 Hadiths themed ‘the Jew behind me’ and ‘Kill’ approved and sponsored by Saudi Arabia. Along with books, and publications and videos and images on Social Media. Case in point the Black Flags of ISIS Hadith Sunan Ibn Majah 4084.

3. Bad life experiences with Jewish people, personal experiences which have been negative and left to fester into hate unto racism.

Conflating Anti-Semitism with Anti-Zionism
Anti-Semitism is defined as the hostility and hate towards Jews simply because they’re Jews.

Anti-Zionism is opposing the Zionist ideology of humans being either a ‘Master race’ and Non-Zionists being ‘insects’ like species.

The Zionist/ Pro-Israel lobby intend to conflate the two in order to silence the legitimate criticism of Israel’s far-right government which is proudly Zionist/ Racist. Stereotyping Muslims as Anti-Semitic or Islamist – which is easily disproven by The Quran which fosters peace and coexistence – with the Jews, Christians, along with everyone else under the sun. Your God is our God ( : ).

Pulling the wool over your eyes
You need not be a Jew to be a Zionist’. All Jews are not Zionists, and all Zionists are not Jews. There are many Zionists in Saudi Arabia and its Royal Family. Zionists exist in all colors, shapes, sizes and ethnicity. Pakistani-Zionist (Noor Dahri a British Counterterrorism expert working for the London Police…Eh?) Bangladeshi Zionists, e.g Lancashire’s Dr Shadman Zaman. Labour Leader Keir Starmer (and his Jewish wife) are Zionists in saying he believes “anti-Zionism is a form of antisemitism” thereby defending zionism. Liz Truss on record saying she is “a huge Zionist and huge supporter of Israel”, so too is Tony Blair and his Jewish wife. The upper echelons of British society are Zionists. The most powerful lobbying group in the United States is the Zionist lobby for Israel known as AIPAC (The American Israel Public Affairs Committee) sponsors of ‘The Christians United for Israel’ with over 7 million members!!

Many Arabs too think that they are a ‘elite’ or ‘chosen ones’ like the Zionists. Many Arabs are Pro-Zionism and have been from the outset. Hindus can be Pro-Zionist e.g Rishi Sunak (Tokenism at its peak) and Suella Braverman. Indians can be Pro-Zionist Sikhs Buddhists, Atheists and Agnostics.

The most fervent Zionists are proven to be the Evangelical Christians. Christian Zionism espouses the return of Jewish people to Holy lands. Christian Pro-Zionist ideals are common among Protestants, far-off the teachings of The Abrahamic faith of Christianity. Not reciprocated by the (Zionist) Jews who believe Jesus was a bastard born of Adultery (Yebamoth 49b, p324), Jesus condemned to Hell submerged in boiling excrement (Talmud Gittin 56b-57a). Whereas a minority of Jews oppose Zionism because Zionism is not Judaism – it’s Zionism. Zionism is an insult to the religion of Judaism, which like Islam and Christianity is also an Abrahamic faith.

Like peas in a pod
No difference between Zionism and Nazism.

It was never ‘a land without a people for a people without land’. Pre-1948 Palestine was a land enriched with culture and civilised people, pioneers and forerunners in every field. A place where the Muslims, Christians and Jews lived together peacefully. Co-existence and harmony and tolerance prescribed by The Quran. The 3 Great Abrahamic faiths were honored by Islam and its Muslims– now dishonored by Zionism and the Jews aided and abetted by Christians, Hindu and Buddhists and anyone else who wishes to jump onto the bandwagon of islamophobia (Anti-Muslim Hate), for Political or Economical Advantage.

Anti-semitism is an European malady, Jews were persecuted as ‘the other’ across Europe – not in the middleeast. Europe always had “The Jewish Problem”’ not Muslims grounded by their religious text of The Quran which preaches religious tolerance and co-existence. Going as far as to ask forgiveness for them, and grieve not over what they do because they cannot cause failure to God on earth.( ). Jews could too easily be vaporised by Kun Fayakun, pigs too, like dinosaurs and cities and tribes and generations before them laid to rest in ink. Whom were even more wealthy with the audacity to build sky skyscrapers high into the sky to talk to God and see God (28:38) and claiming ownership of Rivers (43:41) and Land, humans too.

Consequently the UK and the West losing all moral authority in the world. ‘From the river to the Sea’ is stated in the manifesto of Zionism, almost 1 million fanatical Zionists and settlers evicting and terrorizing the Palestinians. Recently echoed by its acting prime minister Netanyahu representing a far-right extremist government propagating a fanatical delusion they are bringing the messiah to Al-Aqsa mosque, which Muslims have failed to retain control over despite being the wealthiest people on earth, pure & simply derived from oil. It was taken by Jews in 1967 when an Israeli flag was hoisted over the Dome of the Rock.

Zionism fuels Islamophobia (Anti-Muslim Hate) along with Anti-Semitism, resulting in Radicalisation and Terrorism.

There, but for the grace of God, go I
Imagine your home was just bombed by an air strike, each and every member of your family has been destroyed under rubble for no reason whatsoever. You’ve lost everything you’ve ever known. You have ‘no food, no water, no electricity, no medical aid’. Your children dead before your eyes, You’re in poverty, existing in camps and shelters. Nothing to lose.

What would you do?

Or you wake one morning in the dead of the night at gunpoint raid by IDF raid. You’re arrested and imprisoned for existing, or evicted from your ancestral home which is bulldozed to make way for settlements for Zionist Jews. Nothing to lose.

Chickens come home to roost
The British Mandate paved the way for the land grab to empower Israelis (Jews) to evict Palestinian (Muslims) from their lands. Successive Governments have cowardly failed to take responsibility for its colonial past and imperialism.

Recently the media has picked up on IDF reservists who are returning back to their homes in London and Leeds – UK, Europe and the West to resume their lives. Posing a real and imminent risk to the British public in an ISIS-like manner. Every British Jew conscripted is radicalised to one level or another, they meet the criteria of ‘terrorism’, are trained in the act of terrorism, otherwise indoctrinated by Zionism a far-right extremist ideology and so radicalised. Any British citizen which has served as a Reservist in the Israels Zionist army the IDF ought to be identified and put under surveillance.

Across the pond three Palestinian Muslims were shot in the USA only for wearing a keffiyeh scarf, leaving 20 year old Palestinian Hisham Awartani paralysed and confined to a wheelchair. A few weeks ago, a 6 year old Palestinian boy Wadea Al-Fayoume was fatally stabbed 26 times and his defenceless mother suffered a dozen stab wounds in USA – only because they were Palestinian (Muslims). Inspired by Israels siege on Gaza and fueled by Zionism. Meanwhile in Palestine a 13 year old American is shot by IDF along with wheelchair bound Tarek Abu Abed.

Egg Soldiers
Since 7 October 2023, hundred of thousands of British and American Jews have moved freely between UK and Israel to serve as Reservists for the IDF to commit genocide as ruled by the ICJ. British Jews are Active Duty Soldiers in the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) involved in terrorism, as widely publicised on social media showcasing IDF soldiers terrorising palestinan civilians, desecration of graves, urinating on dead bodies, raping palestinanian girls and women at gunpoint. Slaughtered more than 30,000 innocent civilians, 10,000 children, orphaned 20,000 children, leaving millions displaced. Similarly thousands more have moved freely to Ukraine to fight for their identity, their religion, land and country. Fowl play.

LION Bar Retro Easter Egg
In contrast, Muslims who wish to travel to war-torn countries in the like manner as British people taking up alms in Israel and Ukraine, have been arrested and imprisoned, stripped of nationality. Not to kill, rather to be killed in the service of helping the transgressed and oppressed. The double-standards and hypocrisy is historical. Ukrainian women making molotov cocktails and children carrying automatic weapons and celebrated on social media.

Muslims deterred from emigrating to help the oppressed and transgressed, so reduced to making jelly babies and eating Bounty Multipacks. If Muslims were given the same freedom – hundreds of millions from all around The World including the UK would emigrate into Palestine overnight, to help the oppressed and transgressed as obligated by The Quran. Or maybe they don’t? Hatched. How many children are required to care for a mother? In Western countries such as UK and USA with a social care system in place for the elderly.

■] Good Friday

Good Friday is a Christian holiday commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. According to the New Testament, Jesus was crucified on a Friday, which is now commemorated as Good Friday by Christians around the world. Observed as a day of sorrow, penance, and fasting.

Soufflé
Muslims believe Jesus was raised alive ( ), jesus was not killed by mankind, because Jesus was Superhuman. Proven capable of healing the blind, ( ), curing the lepur, and bringing the dead back to life. It goes without saying if you can bring the dead back to life, then you simply can’t be killed. For clarity God confirms Jesus was raised alive ( ) as was John ( ) and was not killed – Friday or not.

It’s that Friday Feeling
Fridays are a special day for Muslims, partly derived from The Quran which has a chapter named ‘The Friday Prayer’ (‘Jumma’) namely 62. Which contains only 11 verses, of which only 2 relate directly to The Friday Prayer specifically verses 62:9 and 62:10. Muslims are certainly very attentive towards these 2 verses, which have been amplified. Setting aside the oter 9 verses along with more than 6,000 verses of The Quran. Which teaches mankind Morallity and God-cognizance. Collectivey conflict with each and every Hadith about ‘Friday Prayer (Juma)’.

Chiefly, more than 13 Hadiths have been spun-out from these 2 Quranic verses. Muslims are more receptive towards Hadiths, which are simply put ‘man-made religion’ – not Divine I.e The Quran. 9.999/10 ‘born muslims’ prefer Hadiths instead of the Quran. Most muslims are oblivious to not only these 2 verses but the whole of chapter 62. Which have been extracted and hadithified accross the muslim world, Fragranced in their Sunday Best muslims flocks to mosques – devoutly/ religiously/ spiritually/ culturally to Jumma Prayer.

God makes it exceptionally clear the purpose of the Friday Prayer, or any prayer for that matter is pure and simply to disconnect from Worldly Life, leave of money-making and trading, to engage in The Remembrance of God’ (xzikkr) thereby becoming God-cognizant. Not only for an hour or two midday, but for the whole day, and night. It’s an unconditional form of worship.

Ultimate Crunchie Inclusion Egg
The ’13 Hadiths pertaining to ‘Friday Prayer’ seem to know better than God to offer a Reward, widely available on the Internet (Sunnah.com) or hard-copy. To make-believe their weekly tally of sins is erased by attending the Friday Prayer – Expiation of sins according to Hadith (Muslim). By taking a bath on Friday and oiling your hair and applying perfume before entering the mosque – Weekly sins are erased according to Al-Bukari Hadiths. Other authenticated Hadiths mention Angels sitting at the doors of mosques on Friday prayer Jumah with rolled scrolls. Other Hadiths compare it to sacrificing a cow then sheep then duck then chicken then egg.. Eh?

The 3 Strike Rule
Many rituals and traditions have been innovated by muslims for missing 3-in-a-row. A grave sin for anyone missing 3 Friday Prayers in a row, their hearts becoming sealed and expelled from Gods mercy. Outcast. De-Muslimified.

Home run.

On to the next one
A further number of Hadiths purport all your sins from one Friday to the next Friday are forgiven. RESET. Sahih Muslim 233b, In-book reference: Book 2, Hadith 18USC-MSA web (English) reference: Book 2, Hadith 449. Sins melted away like honeycomb toffee. Other Hadiths counsel Muslims taking a bath on a Friday is Blessed, baptized, And Compulsory, ‘to apply fragrance’ and smelling nice is Sunnah.

Other Hadiths recommend wearing your best clothes, cleaning your teeth with tree branches, Not to attend the Jumu’ah (prayer) if it is raining.(14), how to walk to the mosque, and on and on and on and on.

The Lucky Hour
Apparently, there is an hour (an opportune time) during Friday prayers and if a Muslim is present while praying and asks something from God, then God will definitely meet his demand. Lucky Strike. Sahih al-Bukhari 935 In-book reference : Book 11, Hadith 59 USC-MSA web (English) reference : Vol. 2, Book 13, Hadith 57.

Another few which claim to know Angels stand at the gate of the mosque and keep on writing the names of the persons coming to the mosque in succession according to their arrivals. Sahih al-Bukhari 929 In-book reference : Book 11, Hadith 53 USC-MSA web (English) reference : Vol. 2, Book 13, Hadith 51 (deprecated numbering scheme)

All night long
Similarly, Muslims have taken a few verses pertaining to Night Prayer ‘tahajud’ out of context.( : ) Door slamming and Dum Dua on the hour every hour all night long, synced with exhaust popping. Instead of studying Quran verses to understand the religion, they prefer Sufism flex. Your Istikhfar needs instikhfar!! Why don’t they reflect on the quran of is there locks on their hearts? ( : )

From the Quran we learn about ‘xzikkr,’ means ‘Remembrance of God” used in conjunction with ‘xzikrah’ which the Quran is explicitly described as. The purpose of Friday Prayer is to leave off trading, disconnect with Worldly Life and Worship God – unconditionally. From many verses we come to learn God does need mankinds worship, what would be the purpose of your Existence

We also learn mankind is a forgetful species- root word of insan is nasiya which literally means forgetful. A forgetful species which needs The Quran as remembrance to remember God. Which has been spun into xzikkr evenings, sing alongs, rocking and rhythmic beatings – in its literal sense too for some Muslims partaking in self flagellation.

[■] Hot cross buns
The Hot Cross Bun marks the end of the Christian season of Lent and different parts of the hot cross bun have a certain meaning, including the cross representing the crucifixion of Jesus, the spices inside signifying the spices used to embalm him at his burial and sometimes also orange peel to reflect the bitterness of his time on the cross.

Like Christians, Muslims believe Jesus is blessed in Paradise and saved from Hellfire (3:45, 19:21,31,33, ). Jews however believe Jesus is in Hell Burning in his own Excrement (Gittin) according to their Talmud scriptures consisting of 6,200 pages.

There’s much we learn about Hell directly from The Quran – more than 200 verses to get a taster. Specific detail about entry requirements, operating temperatures, conditions and duration.

As sure as eggs is eggs
Directly from the Quran, God provides specific details of The Gates of Hell – 7 of them. Not 6, not 5, but Seven (15:43,44). They are not named, they could’ve been, they haven’t. They remain unnamed, for some reason so Muslims don’t need to contend with creating fancy names. The ‘Gates of Hell’ are also referred to in two other verses (16:29 and 40:76). Both of which reiterate the ‘Eternal residence’.

Gas Mark: MAX Celsius to Fahrenheit (ºC to ºF).
Burning Fire (22:22), seared flanks (9:35) Running around in garments of fire (14:50) as Mad as a March hare on Fire (38:64). Into boiling water; then into the Fire they will be filled with flame (40:72). Sparks as large as fortresses (77:32) and camels (77:33) thrown off a raging Hell fire. Fury and roaring (25:12) Roasted skins and replaced for yet another grilling (4:56). An abode for the arrogant.

No Fire Exit
From The Quran we learn Hell fire is a permanent abode – Eternal (2:39,80,81,119,167,234, 275 3:24,116, 4:14,121,169, 5:37, 6:128, 7:36, 9:63,69, 10:27, 11:107, 13:5, 14:17, 16:29,62, 18:53, 20:74,126, 22:19,20,22, 23:107-109, 32:14,20, 35:36,37, 39:14,20, 39:19,72, 40:76, 41:24,28,29, 43:74,77, 45:34,35,74, 47:15, 49:50, 58:17, 64:10, 72:23, 78:23, 98:6) Each of these verses empathise ‘Eternal’ except for two. ‘khalidina feeha’

Guarded by 19 Angels of Hell (74:30) Not 18 Angels, not 20, but precisely 19 (74:31) reporting to The Guardian of Hell (43:77).

Muslims however in their better judgement have published more than 1,913 Hadiths pertaining to Hell. Most of which offer an escape route, which God has not promised mankind or muslims. They provide details and specifics not mentioned in The Quran. These Hadith are accounts of someone who heard another to have heard Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to have detailed and describe Hell. Which he has never experienced and never will.

Easter Break Kit Kat
Similarly, Judaism has abandoned the concept of Hell altogether, with the exception of the orthodox branch. A purgatory affair, lasting up to 12 months after death. Most Christians prefer to believe Hell is a temporary affair, despite the Bible stating Hell is Eternal Fire (Revelation 20:10, Matthew 25:41,46). The Hindu religion regards Hell not as a place of permanence. Sikhs do not believe in Hell, like Buddhists they believe in reincarnation and reborn.

Overcooked
We learn much about the Companions of Hell, human and Djinn, Devils alike. Details about Bad eggs. Eat yourselves rotten (37:62-68) and Drink yourselves Merry (18:29) whilst you’re burning. Befitting residence for the Cock(s) of the Walk who dabbled in Usury and hoarded wealth (9:35) consumed in Usury % Interest (2:275), dabbled in Magic and Witchcraft (2:102), engaged in Shirk (association with God) and Superstitions and lived a life ignorant to The Quran, Shackled in chains, 70 cubits (32 metres) in length (69:32). Madder than a wet hen on fire.

Like a rabbit caught in the headlights
Throughout The Quran we learn about the perils of setting the Quran aside in oft-repeated verses. Encapsulated by The Gates of Heaven will not be opened for them, nor will they enter Paradise until a camel passes through the eye of a needle. (7:40). The straw that broke the camel’s back.

How do you eat yours?
