Jumu'ah Sohbet: 13 September 2024

This Sohbet will take you on a proverbial flying carpet through the past, present, and future. With Allah, we go, Bismillah!

#1. We are living such turbulent times in our modern era!:

However, intellectuals Mehdi Hassan and Rob Delayney advised those of us deflated by man's state of affairs: "Don't be pessimistic about the future because this is your moment to relive history." Implying that at some point in our history, this sense of apocalyptic demise has been experienced before. Look, despite COVID, Climate change and War, they are continuing to make my accident old news 😅

Spiritually, Hazrat Jalaluddeen Rumi (RA) says: "Lovers find secret places inside this violent world where they make transactions with beauty." I couldn't agree more because what keeps us grounded, apart from the maddening crowds, is our spiritual connection through our Tariqa (spiritual school) that keeps us conscious of the truth and reality of La ilaha illalah (There is no god but God / Allah)! We are therefore programmed to see the positivity and beauty of Allah, no matter how much human ugliness is projected around us. Shukran Ya Allah (Divine gratitude)!

#2. We just passed the 6th of Rabi ul-Awwal which marks the Wisaal (Divine meeting) or Urs (Divine wedding) of the spirtual monarch of our country, Hazrat Shaykh Sayed Ahmed Badsha Peer (RA). His resting place was round the corner from where I worked pre-accident, and at a particularly sad time in my life, his spiritual solace carried me through it! In the middle of Durban's humble inner-city within a multiracial cemetry during a racist passage of South African history itself. Subhana'Allah (Divine glory)!:

Hazrat Badsha Peer (RA) arrived in Durban from South India as an indentured labourer in 1860 and was recognised by the British authorities as a spiritual personality and discharged of his duties. I remember telling visitors that his legacy as an indentured labourer was that his plot of sugarcane was always harvested at the end of the work day, without him having to sweat, were some of his mystical abilities. He passed away in 1894 in the precinct of the Grey Street Juma Masjid and buried in the Brook Street Muslim Cemetery. He was from amongst the Majzoob category of Sufis, who are totally drowned in the love of Allah, making them unaware of their own physical conditions. Due to this, people never recognised his spiritual position! It was in 1895 upon the arrival of Hazrat Soofie Saheb (RA) that in pure Sufi ethic, he first went to pay homage to the great Awliya (Friend of Allah) of this country. And, in doing so, located the grave of Hazrat Badsha Peer (RA), making it known for the first time that here lies "BADSHA PEER" (A King amongst Spirtual Guides)! [Chishty Sabiree Jahangiri Khanqa and Research Centre]

This was at a time when I was not even a Sufi murid (follower). As the Sufi adage goes, when the student is ready, the teacher appears. Shukran Ya Allah that he did, in the form of Shaykh Taner Ansari of Allahistan! It is also where your Mimi's Ummi is laid to rest with Allah in this world. Allah blessed your Mama and me with Mimi's blessed presence in our lives where she sought me out at the nearby offices and spiritually enlivened my consciousness of the blessing round my corner. Allah, if Hazrat Badsha Peer (RA) was involved in the spiritual mechanics of keeping me alive after a 2-month coma as it was while I still worked there, please convey Your love and eternal gratitude on my behalf:

Ya Shakur Ya Wadud!

#3. Anne (our spiritual mother) asked us to contemplate on the English translated version of Sura 89 of the Chronological Edition of the Qur'an as renewed by our Tariqa, Al-e Imran (The Family of Imran). I couldn't stop the outpouring of insights and awe within me towards Allah's words in those 200 verses. For example, I will just share 3:

- V4: Allah as the mighty establisher of consequences. (Yes, us human beings with free will must be made to feel the consequences of our choices!)

- V7: Some messages of the Qur'an are clear, but others are allegorical. Allegorical means containing a moral or hidden meaning. (As a past Qur'anic Arabic student herself, I had felt that the Qur'an is either too simplistic or too deep which drove me to keep trying to connect to it or altogether evade it! Until, unexpectedly and gloriously, did our Tariqa delve into it as richly as it did, where at virtually every other verse I am compelled to contemplate!)

- V86: The community of disbelievers who reject truth after it has come to them! (Like extremist Jews and extremist Christians that firmly hold onto their forefathers' practices! But, Islam was the most recent of Abrahamic religions, which affirmed their paths and with reasoned caveats. Another reason the community of the middle path [ummatan wasatan] makes more sense, if you ask me):

In conclusion, we enter Yuwm un-Nabi, which is an annual celebration of the birth of Rahmatul lil 'Alameen (Mercy of the worlds), our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)! Insha'Allah, it is a well-executed success as planned, which unites us deeper:

Ya Ghalib Ya Azim (Yearning Allah's ability to succeed)

Ya Wadud Ya Salaam Ya Jami Ya Nafi (and Allah's love, peace and unity in goodness)

"Yes, what is it Mare?" The Healer smiled at the other, deciding to pat her head. "Feel free to poke me if I don't react in the future, okay?"

The witch let out a yawn, hand covering her mouth while doing so. “How long have I been asleep…?” Her head was still in a haze, like she was being awakened from a very long slumber.

Main Verse

Name: Devendra "Dev" Yug Age: appears 36 (Oct.24th) FC: Ray.mond Abl.ack Gender: Male Species: Human Features" dark brown hair, bright amber eyes, dark olive tanned complexion Sexuality: Bisexual, leans towards women

About

Devendra "Dev" was born into the warrior clan of the Indus River, a lineage steeped in tales of valor and protection. His early days were shrouded in the legends of his ancestors who had fought against asuras, monsters, and spirits that threatened their people. Dev's mother, a spirited traveling entertainer, found a temporary home in the town of Chanderi when she discovered she was carrying Dev. It was in this town that Dev took his first breath, amidst the bustling streets and the whispers of ancient spirits.

Growing up, Dev was a beacon of light in Chanderi, known for his open heart and unwavering courage. People gravitated towards him, drawn by his bravado and inspired by his constant encouragement to be their best selves. Despite the unnerving mysteries that loomed over the town, Dev remained a pillar of strength and hope, his infectious energy touching the lives of all who crossed his path.

One of Dev's greatest loves was his affinity for dogs; their loyalty and companionship mirrored the values he held dear. Another passion of his was dancing with fire, a skill he honed in the quiet hours of the night, the flames flickering in time with the beat of his heart.

Fate smiled upon Dev when he stumbled upon a hidden gold mine deep within the dark caves of Chanderi. The wealth he unearthed not only secured his future but also provided for his mother, Agni Devi, whose mind was slowly slipping into the clutches of madness. Dev devoted himself to caring for her, his love for her shining brighter than any treasure he had found.

Despite the abundance of positivity that surrounded him, Dev was acutely aware of the encroaching darkness that lurked at the edges of the town. He often pondered the mysteries that haunted Chanderi, questioning why the creatures of the night seemed to be drawn to him specifically.

Driven by a sense of duty and a desire to protect his home, Dev began training others in the art of defense, imparting his skills and knowledge to those willing to learn. As his students grew in prowess, Dev knew it was time to embark on a journey beyond Chanderi, to seek answers to the questions that weighed heavy on his heart.

A warrior's departure was met with both reluctance and blessings from his mother, who, despite her ailing mind, understood the importance of his mission. As Dev set out into the unknown, his spirit ablaze with determination, he carried with him the legacy of his warrior clan and the hope of uncovering the hidden truths.

Backstory

Maverick's story begins in the enchanted realm known as the Moors, ruled by the powerful and feared sorceress, Maleficent. Born out of forbidden love between Maleficent and a human prince, Maverick's existence was considered an abomination by those who held prejudice against the union of fae and humans.

As a child, Maverick inherited the striking physical features of his mother, with raven black hair, piercing green eyes, and an air of undeniable magic. However, he also carried within him the compassionate nature inherited from his human lineage. This duality within him became a source of internal conflict, as he struggled to reconcile the dark reputation associated with his mother and the inherently good-natured spirit he possessed.

Growing up, Maverick witnessed firsthand the animosity and hostility between humans and fae, fueled by the deep-rooted grudges and history of warfare. These experiences left a profound impact on him, instilling a desire for change and a longing to bridge the divide between the two worlds.

Despite the strained relationship between Maverick and Maleficent, he yearned for his mother's acceptance and guidance. However, Maleficent's own inner turmoil and her past experiences made it challenging for her to fully embrace her son. Maverick's quest for his place in the world, torn between the darkness associated with his lineage and his own innate compassion, became a personal journey fraught with self-discovery and growth.

Throughout his life, Maverick sought to understand the complexities of his heritage and the true nature of the fae. He delved into ancient texts, seeking knowledge about the history and traditions of his kind, hoping to uncover a path towards reconciliation and harmony. Along the way, he encountered both resistance and support from various factions within the fae realm, each with their own motivations and beliefs.

Driven by a deep sense of purpose, Maverick dedicated himself to bridging the gap between humans and fae, believing that understanding, empathy, and shared experiences could heal the wounds of the past. He yearned for a future where the two worlds could coexist in peace, free from the shackles of prejudice and fear.

Maverick's journey, marked by personal struggles, conflicting loyalties, and a relentless pursuit of unity, would ultimately define his legacy as the son of Maleficent, a catalyst for change in a world torn by ancient enmities.

She had a point. What was normal nowadays, since everyone had different perspectives and views about these meanings, so it hardly mattered in the end.

"I suppose you're right. I can't really judge what supposed to be right or wrong for the humans, nor for the other kinds, even my own. Not that I really care for that matter." The fallen angel looked away, staring in the distance where the moon and the stars were illuminating the night sky.

"Even I said my goodbyes towards my parents and brother, wanting to leave my sins and burdens in the past, am I truly free?" She questioned, but also to herself.

While Neo couldn't blame Lux for the questioning, the mute has been living for so LONG as an undead, that it was just the 'normal' for her. It didn't help that only a few years of her life were as a human, but even then, her parents were vampires that raised her for the day in which she was ready to be turned into one.

'I'm happy because I can do whatever I want. I'm free...and superior to those lowly human beings when gifted with these powers.' Giving the fallen angel a toothy grin, Neo chuckled softly to herself before humming softly.

'Humans also have restrictions, anyway. Almost every being does. They also have to eat and drink if they want to live, so is this any different?...the sun is a pain, more like an allergy, but no problem when we are the most active at night anyway. I was raised to be used to these, so I don't know what it's like to be 'normal'.' After making a pause, she laughed some more and stared at Lux from the corner of her eyes. 'What's really normal in this world, eh? Vampires have been controlling human society for the longest time, and yet...they think they are the ones in control. And most of the time live ignorant of the kind of creatures they walk among.'

ronny schiatto: absolutely nothing about the nature of his existence changes.

christopher shaldred: cruel inhumanity - a mental perception ability. aside from making most non ability users think his appearance is normal, it’s also a persuasive ability that makes the people he chooses register his actions as inobtrusive unless they cause direct harm to the people affected. in this way, he could commit a murder or a robbery in front of someone and they’d only shrug it off. besides this, he’s also freakishly strong.

laz smith: gunmeister - infinite gun hack. when he puts a hand into his trench coat, he can without fail pull out any kind of firearm he wants. this ability will cease to work if laz is ever to kill someone with one of these guns, but the guns can be used by other people to kill.

tick jefferson: the minute hand - the ability to make things unbreakable. because this ability only applies to things that aren’t able to be seen, like “resolve” or “bonds between people”, tick doesn’t believe it exists. it can also only be used on people who have a personal bond with tick.

tock jefferson: the hour hand - the ability to make things unbreakable. it only applies to things that can be seen. this ability is weakened by fear---if he stops believing in his ability, it will stop applying to whatever he’s previously applied it to, and it can’t be reactivated on that person or thing.

elmer c. albatross: in want of a happy ending - the ability to make others feel true happiness, as long as he’s seen them smile freely in the past. this ability can’t be used on himself.

Exodus 13: Dedication Of The Firstborn

Overview:

Exodus 13 is about the Israelites' deliverance from Egypt and the commands God gave to them, including:

Consecration of the firstborn. God commanded the Israelites to consecrate all their firstborn, both human and animal, to him. This was a reminder of God saving the Israelites' firstborn from death during the 10th plague (death for Egypt's firstborn) and Passover.  

Observance of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The Israelites were to observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread (no yeast bread - symbolises the spread of sin) as a reminder of their deliverance from Egypt.  

Transmission of knowledge to children. The Israelites were to teach their children about the deliverance from Egypt.  

God's care for the Israelites. God led the Israelites out of Egypt by guiding them with a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.  

Questions:

Why is the firstborn offspring important in Exodus 13?

The focus on the firstborn in Exodus 13 has both symbolic and practical roots within the context of the ancient Near Eastern worldview and Israelite culture.

Symbol of Strength and Leadership: In many ancient societies, the firstborn son held a unique status as the primary heir, carrying on the family legacy and often inheriting leadership responsibilities. By setting apart the firstborn, the Israelites symbolically dedicated their strength and future to God, showing that their most valued "first fruits" belonged to Him.

Divine Ownership and Sacrifice: The firstborn of every household—whether of humans or animals—was seen as the "first fruits" of a family’s labor and blessings. Offering the first of what was produced

2. Why is it not allowed to eat food with yeast?

The prohibition against eating leavened (yeast-containing) bread during certain festivals, especially Passover (Exodus 12:15-20), holds both symbolic and historical significance in the Jewish tradition.

Symbol of Purity and Separation from Sin: Yeast, or leaven, became associated with sin or impurity in Hebrew thought. Just as a small amount of yeast permeates a whole batch of dough, sin was seen as something that could spread and corrupt. By removing yeast from their homes and diets during Passover, the Israelites symbolically demonstrated a cleansing from impurity and a return to purity and holiness.

Reminder of the Exodus: When the Israelites fled Egypt, they left in such haste that they didn’t have time for their bread to rise (Exodus 12:39). Eating unleavened bread during Passover serves as a reminder of this hurried departure and God’s swift deliverance, highlighting the urgency and readiness that marked their liberation from slavery.

Commitment to Obedience and Tradition: Observing the practice of eating unleavened bread, as instructed by God, became a mark of obedience and identity for the Israelites. It was a way to remember their history and keep their covenant with God alive through a concrete, annual ritual.

Thus, avoiding yeast during Passover is rich with meaning, reminding the Israelites of both the purity and faithfulness required in their relationship with God and the historical reality of their exodus from bondage.

3. What is the visible sign in Exodus 13 Verse 9?

In Exodus 13:9, the "visible sign" refers to the instructions God gives the Israelites to remember and celebrate their deliverance from Egypt. The verse says:

"This observance will be for you like a sign on your hand and a reminder on your forehead that the law of the Lord is to be on your lips. For the Lord brought you out of Egypt with his mighty hand."

The "sign on your hand" and "reminder on your forehead" are symbolic expressions, emphasizing that God's law and their freedom from slavery should be constantly remembered, visible, and close to them. These expressions imply that this memory should influence their actions (hands), thoughts (foreheads), and words (lips). Over time, these verses inspired the Jewish practice of wearing tefillin (phylacteries) — small boxes containing scripture passages, bound to the forehead and arm during prayer as a physical reminder of God’s commandments. actions (hands) - Remembering God's deliverance was meant to inspire them to act justly, uphold righteousness, and follow God's commands in every aspect of life. thoughts (foreheads) - The forehead represents thoughts and intentions. serves as a reminder that their minds and hearts should be aligned with God’s will, shaping their inner motivations and choices. words (lips) - Speech and teaching. suggests that they should speak of God's laws, share His teachings, and pass down the story of deliverance. This encouraged an oral tradition, where the story of Exodus and the law were shared with future generations to keep the covenant alive.

The sign, then, serves to keep the memory of God's deliverance and the importance of His commandments ever-present in daily life.

Reflections:

"When Pharaoh finally let the people go, God did not lead them along the main road, even though that was the shortest route to the Promised Land. God said, "If the people are faced with a battle, they might change their minds and return to Egypt. Thus the Israelites left Egypt like an army ready for battle." (verses 17-18) Sometimes, God does not give us the easiest way in life, not because He does not care for us or He leaves us abandoned, but because He does not want us to turn away from Him. In this manner, He wants us to seek and trust Him especially in times of "battles" and difficulties. He wants us to walk an extra mile so we don't get the chance to back down easily. He wants to see us winning the battle with Him in our hearts, and faith and hope as our guidance. "The LORD went ahead of them. He guided them during the day with pillar of clouds, and He provided light at night with pillar of fire." God is always ahead of us, even when everything seem unclear. He provides us the light so we can walk straight knowing He is there to light our paths in life. He is always present in times of doubt and darkness. He is always ahead. He is always leading the way, preparing it for us. We just need to really keep that faith knowing He is just around, even if we don't see Him physically, but He provides every means to make it known to us that He is alive, that He is always present.

Yeast symbolises impurity and the spread of sin.

Firstborns are reminders of "first fruits" of family's labor and blessing.

God reminds us to use our action in a just manner and uphold the righteousness of God in our everyday life. Our forehead to remind our hearts and minds should be aligned with God's will, shaping our inner motivations and choices. Lips to share about God, and we should speak only Words that will lead people to God.

L.A. has birthed many rap icons over the years, but few have had the cultural impact that Kendrick Lamar has. From the streets of Compton to the stages of award shows, he represents the heart of the West Coast rap scene and carries the legacy of pioneers like Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Tupac.

Kendrick Lamar and the Future of West Coast Hip-Hop

As Kendrick Lamar continues to rise, his influence on the next generation of artists becomes even more apparent. His commitment to artistic integrity, social commentary, and creating music that makes an impact has set a new standard in hip-hop.

In a genre often criticized for its lack of substance, Kendrick is a beacon of light, showing that you can be both a commercial success and a conscious artist. His string of wins at the BET Awards is proof that there’s an appetite for music that does more than entertain—it speaks to the struggles and triumphs of the world around us.

Kendrick’s dominance at the 2024 BET Awards was a defining moment in his career, but it’s clear that he’s far from finished. As L.A.’s reigning rap king, Kendrick Lamar continues to inspire, influence, and innovate.

We can’t wait to see what’s next for Kendrick—and for L.A. hip-hop.

The Hidden Threads of Divine Leadership: Unveiling the Consensus Fallacy

Across the tapestry of human history, a persistent thread weaves through diverse cultures and religions: the promise of divine leadership. Whether through prophecies or ancient symbols, the notion of a select few guiding humanity towards truth and justice has captivated hearts and minds. But beneath this universal theme lies a profound question: can the truth ever be dictated by consensus?

A Mosaic of Divine Guidance

In the biblical tradition, the 12 tribes of Israel stand as pillars of divine order, guiding the Children of Israel through their journey. This concept echoes in Christianity, where Jesus’ 12 apostles are seen as the custodians of his teachings. Each represents not only leadership but a divine mandate to continue the legacy of truth.

Similarly, in Islam, the lineage of the 12 Imams, beginning with Imam Ali (AS), embodies this divine guidance. This sacred line, revered as the protectors and interpreters of truth, fulfills a role anticipated by prophets before them.

The Enigmatic Queen of Nature

Turning to ancient Hindu Vedic texts, we encounter the intriguing symbol of the Queen of Nature or Devi. Adorned with a crown of 11 rubies—each symbolizing one of her sons—she represents a profound concept of divine authority. The crown itself, often interpreted as a symbol of supreme divine power, hints at a deeper narrative of divine leadership.

Could this imagery be more than mere symbolism? Might it reflect a universal archetype of divine rule that resonates across cultures? This parallel to the Islamic concept of Fatimah Zahra (SA), with Imam Ali (AS) as the crown and her 11 sons as the divine Imams, suggests a recurring theme in humanity's search for divine guidance.

The Buddhist Prophecy: The Awaited Maitreya

In Buddhism, the prophecy of the Maitreya, the future Buddha, foretells the arrival of a divine teacher who will restore righteousness and compassion. This awaited savior aligns with the Islamic belief in the Mahdi, the 12th Imam destined to reestablish justice. Both traditions share a vision of a final leader who will fulfill the promise of divine order.

Ghadeer Khum: The Moment of Revelation

The convergence of these ancient prophecies and symbols reached a decisive moment at Ghadeer Khum. Here, Prophet Muhammad (SAWW), under divine command, appointed Imam Ali (AS) as his successor. This declaration was not merely a political statement; it was the realization of a divine promise:

"For whomever I am his Mawla (master), Ali is his Mawla."

This event marked the culmination of a lineage of divine leadership, affirming the role of Imam Ali (AS) in a manner anticipated across various traditions.

The Consensus Illusion: When Majority Fails

Despite the clear declaration of truth at Ghadeer Khum, many chose to follow the majority rather than the appointed leader. This pivotal moment underscores a critical lesson: truth is often upheld by the few, while the many are swayed by consensus.

Islamic teachings caution against following the majority when it contradicts divine guidance. The Qur’an reminds us:

"And if you obey most of those on earth, they will lead you astray from the path of Allah” (6:116).

This verse highlights that truth is not a product of majority opinion but of divine instruction.

Unveiling the Truth Beyond Consensus

As we delve into the layers of ancient prophecies, symbols, and historical events, we uncover a timeless truth: consensus cannot form truth. The divine lineage of leadership—whether through the 12 chosen ones, the Queen of Nature, or the Imams—demonstrates that truth persists beyond the sway of the majority.

The legacy of Imam Ali (AS) and his 11 subsequent son Imams represents the fulfillment of this divine promise. Even when the majority turns away, the essence of truth remains steadfast, carried by those divinely appointed to lead. This reflection urges us to seek beyond the superficialities of consensus, to question deeply, and to follow the path illuminated by divine guidance, even if it means standing apart from the crowd.

It was been years that he saw her last, and even though the lesser demon didn't look much different. The ability to smile once again while having a new replacement of his missing horn's tip would tell otherwise.

"I've been good! I'm happy to see you, Peach, I missed you so much!" Zio then wrapped his arms around her shoulders, giving her a soft embrace.

@fctedivided

"Hey Zio~" Peach hummed as she knelt down to be more at the small demon's height. "How have things been for you lately?"
