#sulaiman dawood

[munchablemusic]

Imagine, for a second, you are Sulaiman Dawood.

You and your father are extremely close. You have talked for hours about history and have gone on many vacations to see historical sites. You know that he is extremely busy as a businessman and one of the richest men in the world. But each time you get to bond over a cool history fact is one memory that you know you'll be able to cherish.

Imagine, your father is asking you about the Titanic one day. Like most teenagers, you have gone through a titanic phase and find the whole thing really fascinating. You've watched the movie, seen the documentaries, and read multiple books. Your father says that he has found a company that could take you up close and personal with the ship in a submarine.

Honestly, the thought of going miles under the sea freaks you out. But your father seems to think it's safe, so you trust him.

Imagine the day that you fly out to Newfoundland and get on a boat to sail out to the wreckage. You're a bit nervous but still excited. That is until you see the submarine. It's tiny, cramped, and has very little light. The CEO says that everything is completely safe. Your father tells you it will be fine. You really don't want to go, but the trip is happening on Father's day, and you really really don't want to disappoint your dad then. Plus, what kind of a son would you be if you made your father forfeit hundreds of thousands of dollars? Sure, it's peanuts compared to his wealth, but it's the principle of the thing.

So you get in, the crew seals you in from the outside, and you feel the submersible hit the water. Almost immediately, it starts sinking. Within minutes, the outside window is completely dark and the only lighting is from inside the submersible. It's also really sweaty because you're sharing the space with four other old men, and the smell is not the greatest.

But after an hour and some change, you notice that the CEO, the one captaining the boat, is acting a little strange. You keep your mouth shut, but what little controls there are are acting strange. Finally, he turns around and apologizes, saying that there is an issue with the submersible, that you are sinking too fast and the weight was not properly calibrated. Not to worry, he says, we'll just head back up and try again tomorrow.

But you notice the rest of the crew seems to be a bit nervous as well. The CEO is cursing under his breath and he says that he's released the sandbags, but you're not going up fast enough. You turn to your father and start to ask him a question, but before you can even comprehend it, the submersible has imploded within the space of 0.15 seconds. The inside of the sub briefly reaches temperatures that rival the surface of the sun. Your blood boils, your eardrums explode, and your body is so thoroughly disintegrated that not even cells will survive. But even if you had survived the implosion, the pressure certainly will. With over six thousand pounds per square inch, there is no chance that you will even have time to comprehend that you are underwater before your death.

This is not a sympathetic post towards the billionaires and everyone who knew the risks. This is a post about the son, who very well might have grown up to do good or to continue his father's empire and make the world worse. But we won't ever know, and I am going to be forever upset at the father who clearly thought he was invulnerable and who took the chance that his son would be too.

Eat the rich. Fuck billionaires. But this kid did not deserve this awful, untimely death. The rest of them can rot in hell for all I care. But he had a short life and didn't deserve to go out in that way.

LIVE: Titanic tourist submarine missing

A desperate search mission involving a remotely operated vehicle is under way to rescue a Titanic tourist submersible which has vanished 12,500ft below the Atlantic Ocean with less than 70 hours of air left.

British billionaire Harding is one of the mission specialists on the five-person vessel

UK-based Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Sulaiman Dawood are also on board

OceanGate Expeditions vessel reported overdue on Sunday about 435 miles south of St John's, Newfoundland

Major search and rescue operation involves military aircraft 900 miles east of Cape Cod

Coast Guard to hold press conference at 1pm

The Coast Guard will hold a press conference at 1pm on today (20/06/23) as the search continues for the missing submersible that vanished on Sunday. Canadian research vessel Polar Prince lost contact with their submersible during a dive to see the Titanic wreck, approximately 900 miles east of Cape Cod.

15:17: Titanic diver fears missing OceanGate sub imploded 10,000 feet underwater

An experienced diver who has traveled far into the depths of the ocean to view the Titanic wreckage fears the submersible that vanished on Sunday may have imploded thousands of feet underwater. G. Michael Harris, who said he possibly knows three of the five occupants on board the missing sub. He is not optimistic they will be rescued and believes there is nothing the U.S. Navy can do.

'Worst situation is something happened to the hull and our fear is that it imploded at around 3,200 meters,' (10,000 feet) Harris said.

At those depths, the weight of the water would exert extreme pressure on the missing submersible - around 6,000 pounds on each square inch of its hull.

An implosion would mean any hope is already long gone. If any part of the submersible's carbon-fiber and titanium hull had suffered a small crack or fault, a deadly implosion would have followed after.

'When you're talking 6,000 pounds per square inch, it is a dangerous environment. More people have been to outer-space than to this depth of the ocean. When you're diving in these situations you have to cross your T and dot your Is. You have to do everything absolutely perfect and by the book.'

14:30: The claustrophobic conditions inside missing Titanic sub

The search continues for the sub with five people on board, who are now cut off from the world in claustrophobic conditions. Thanks to previous reports on the Titan's deep-sea missions, we have a clear idea of what it is like for those trapped inside the submarine, where time is running out. In addition to the dwindling 96-hour oxygen supply, the passengers could also be facing increasingly cold conditions, and could suffer from hypothermia.

There are also no seats and only one toilet - a small black box - with a black curtain drawn across for privacy. All passengers are barefoot and must sit on the floor.

Assuming that the vessel is still intact, they currently have no communication to the outside world, and so no knowledge if and when anyone will reach them.

The claustrophobic conditions inside missing Titanic vessel. Thanks to previous reports on the Titan's deep-sea missions, we have a clear idea of what it is like for those possibly trapped in the cramped submarine that has gone missing in the Atlantic Ocean. 

09:31: The deepest undersea rescue mission ever

A desperate search mission involving a remotely operated vehicle is under way to rescue a Titanic tourist submersible which has vanished 12,500ft below the Atlantic Ocean with around 70 hours of air left.

The Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia, said the OceanGate Expeditions vessel carrying five passengers, including British billionaire Hamish Harding, went missing at around 9.13pm on Sunday, about 435 miles (700 kilometres) south of St. John's, Newfoundland.

If they can be found, the operation would be 11,000ft deeper than the deepest successful undersea rescue in history - when British engineers Roger Mallinson and Roger Chapman survived after their submersible Pisces III was trapped on the seabed at a depth of 1,575ft off the south-west coast of Ireland in 1973.

Depths 'exceed those at which the NATO submarine rescue system can safely operate'

Sky News is reporting that the Ministry of Defence has released a statement, saying 'they are monitoring the incident but the depths of water greatly exceed those at which the Nato submarine rescue system can safely operate'.

09:11: Final text of British billionaire trapped inside missing Titanic sub to his friend

A friend of the British billionaire trapped inside a submarine missing on a voyage to the Titanic wreck has revealed the last text he was sent one day before heading out.

Retired Nasa astronaut Colonel Terry Virts, a friend of the missing Hamish Harding, said his fellow explorer had messaged him to say: 'Hey, we're headed out tomorrow, it looks good, the weather's been bad so they've been waiting for this.'

As rescue teams continued the search for the submersible vessel with five people aboard, Colonel Virts added that he and Mr Harding 'don't really talk about risks'.

[crimzonquazar]

With the news and confirmation of that the titan has been found destroyed and the crew dead,

I wanted to say, may Sulaiman Dawood and Paul-Henri Nargeolet rest in peace, you didn’t deserve a death so gruesome

And may Stockton Rush burn in hell for cutting corners on safety measures on the submarine’s design, a long with the other 2 rich assholes that wanted to go on the expedition in the first place despite the major safety risks

I've had this in my asks for a while now, because I sort of wanted to leave it until it wasn't the very first thing in the news. I don't find the glee with which the online Left meets the horrific death of various very rich people to be politically productive (It's not a win or something that we caused happen, so it doesn't in any way show our strength as a movement, and the death of capitalists won't stop capitalism, the impersonal domination of capital), or at all personally relatable or charming. So I won't luxuriate in it by answering your question, apologies.

[dimity-lawn]

In reading about the missing sub out of a (probably doomed) hope for good news, I’ve found that many articles talk about/include photos of the 5 people inside, and photos of Shahzada Dawood remind me of Twoflower. I know that he doesn’t exactly match the descriptions of Twoflower, but there’s something to his smile that makes me think of the amiable Agatean tourist. Also, anyone who’s read a book with Twoflower in it would know that this is the kind of thing he’d do. Then I found this article:

I realize that it’s not the least bit important given the life-or-death nature of the situation and it’s not my among first thoughts (which are, of course, more along the lines of “I hope that they’ll soon be found alive and well” and “I can’t imagine how terrifying that would be”), but I wondered if anyone else (like you) had similar Discworld thoughts.

Ok I’m leaving the kid out cause even though he’s only like 2 years younger than I am, everyone called him a kid too many times for me to be ok with that. Also disclaimer I’m asexual, so that might be important info 💀

Anyways, obviously number 1 is Stockton Rush. That pic isn’t great but he’s giving me President Oaks and I have daddy issues.

Number 2 I guess I’ll give to Shahzada Dawood. He seems happy and unlike Hamish his smile doesn’t make me think he’ll eat me down there.

Number 3 Paul-Henri Nargeolet. He doesn’t really stand out to me but he doesn’t look like he starts fires for fun.

Last place Hamish Harding because every picture I see of him makes me feel like he just laced a baby bottle with cyanide and he’s eagerly awaiting the results. Idk what it is about him his face just gives me creepy vibes.

[sealpup9]

Just letting you know that on the list sub it’s 3 billionaires, one of which is the ceo that owns the sub, the 19 yo son of one of the billionaires and a deep sea explorer. There are no researchers bc it’s not a research expedition.

As more info came out, I've learned a lot about the situation, yeah.

Hamish Harding is a british billionaire and pilot. Shahzada Dawood is a Pakistani billionaire, Sulaiman Dawood is his 19 y/o son. Paul-Henri Nargeolet is a French diver and explorer, one who used to be head of Michigan State University's Center for Maritime & Underwater Resource Management, has worked on films about the Titanic and is a historian of the Titanic. Stockton Rush is a millionaire and CEO of OceanGate, the company that owns the missing submersible and launched this expedition. My thoughts and such still stand, it doesn't matter who these people are, their lives are in danger and the fact that media outlets have gone so far as to treat this as some spectacle (to the point of some putting an 'oxygen run out in X hours' countdown over all of their other news) is despicable and inhumane.

I think it's vile that folks are pointing and laughing at the 'billionaires' when it doesn't matter how much money they paid.

OceanGate has been called a financial scam by two folks who didn't get their money back when their trip was cancelled.

OceanGate was called out many times by employees who spoke out about the safety issues of the vessels (one of which who was fired for doing so).

Other companies in the industry also called out OceanGate's low standards.

OceanGate has admitted that the submersible that is missing presently, Titan, is not 'classed' and therefore does not need to meet safety requirements and standards for groups mitigating industry standards. They claim that "by itself, classing is not sufficient to ensure safety." and would rather focus on ensuring "operators adhere to proper operating procedures and decision-making processes – two areas that are much more important for mitigating risks at sea."

Oddly enough, it was found that their website said "You do not need any previous [diving] experience!" and "You will learn everything you need to know for your dive onboard the expedition vessel, and we will help you prepare for the expedition before you join us on the ship."

OceanGate also lied about partnering with both Boeing and the University of Washington to create, design, test, and engineer the Titan (the current missing submersible.)

Experts stated as far back as 2018 that the submersible was not ready to be launched on expeditions.

In a CBS interview with journalist David Pogue, the OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush said "You know, at some point, safety is just pure waste. I mean, if you just want to be safe, don't get out of bed, don't get in your car, don't do anything. At some point, you're going to take some risk, and it really is a risk-reward question."

That same journalist (David Pogue) was invited to dive with OceanGate during the summer of 2022, and he stated on twitter that the sub "does not have any kind of beacon like that." (In reference to someone asking if the sub had an emergency beacon of some kind) and that the sub "did indeed get lost for about 5 hours". He was not present on the sub at the time, but on a ship at the surface and during the event he claimed "they shut off the ship’s internet to prevent us from tweeting."

The fact of the matter is, in my humble opinion: a company and their CEO took money from 4 innocent people and brought them down in submersible that had been stated by employees and other companies in the industry to be dangerous. It does not matter how much money a ticket was, it does not matter how much money these people have. What matters is that due to a company's negligence and continual ignoring of safety standards and people calling them out, people are likely going to die.

As of right now, a banging noise has been detected near where the submersible went missing. The air supply is likely going to run out early Thursday morning. I hope they find these people alive.

People need to stop thinking this is some 'burn the rich' gotcha moment. The issue here is "why was a company allowed to get away with such little care for safety and so many issues on their expeditions?" No company should be able to get away with this shit. I don't care if those tickets cost $250,000 or $25. No one deserves to die.

The second people start making excuses for why one person's life is worth more than another is the second they've lost me. Anyone advocating for the death of another human being is despicable. You want to burn the rich? Vote and support more taxes on the rich. Start talking and supporting your neighbors and those in need. You want to fight capitalism at it's source? The source is around you. Start talking to people. Start advocating for equal treatment of your peers. And start thinking about how many corporations get away with shit like OceanGate has that hasn't been called out yet because tragedy hasn't struck.

THE FAREWELL SERMON OF PROPHET 

MUHAMMAD (SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam)

Farewell Sermon (Arabic: خطبة الوداع, Khuṭbatu l-Widāʿ ) also known as Muhammad's Final Sermon or the Last Sermon, is a religious speech, delivered by the Prophet Muhammad (SalAllahu ’alahi wa Sallam) on Friday the 9th of Dhu al-Hijjah, 10 AH (6 March 632) in the Uranah valley of Mount ‘Arafat, during the Islamic pilgrimage of Hajj. 

Muhammad al-Bukhari refers to the sermon and quotes part of it in his Sahih al-Bukhari. Part of it is also present in Sahih Muslim and Sunan Abu Dawood.Verse 5:3,:

"Today I have perfected for you your religion," is believed to have been recited during the address as the capstone verse of the Holy Quran. 

Various versions of the sermon have been published, including several English translations. The sermon consists of a series of general exhortations for Muslims to follow the teachings that Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) had set forth in the Holy Quran and Muhammad in his Sunnah.

Narrations in Hadith literature[

In a Hadith included in Sunan Abi Dawood, and Sunan Ibn Majah, Jabir ibn Abd Allah (RadiyAllahu ‘anhu) narrated details of Prophet Muhammad's pilgrimage and reported the following words of his sermon:

Sahih Muslim Book 15, Hadith 159.

Ja'far b. Muhammad (RadiyAllahu ‘anhu) reported on the authority of his father:

We went to Jabir b. Abdullah (RadiyAllahu ‘anhu) and he began inquiring about the people (who had gone to see him) till it was my turn. I said: I am Muhammad b. 'Ali b. Husain, I said to him: 

Tell me about the Hajj of Allah's Messenger (SalAllahu ’alahi wa Sallam). And he pointed with his hand nine (9), and then stated:

The Messenger of Allah (SalAllahu ’alahi wa Sallam) came to the bottom of the valley, and addressed the people saying:

Verily your blood, your property are as sacred and inviolable as the sacredness of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this town of yours. Behold! Everything pertaining to the Days of Ignorance is under my feet completely abolished. Abolished are also the blood-revenges of the Days of Ignorance. The first claim of ours on blood-revenge which I abolish is that of the son of Rabi'a b. al-Harith (RadiyAllahu ‘anhu), who was nursed among the tribe of Sa'd and killed by Hudhail. And the usury (Riba’) of the pre-Islamic period is abolished, and the first of our usury I abolish is that of 'Abbas b. 'Abd al-Muttalib (RadiyAllahu ‘anhu), for it is all abolished. Fear Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) concerning women! Verily you have taken them on the security of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala), and intercourse with them has been made lawful unto you by words of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala). You too have right over them, and that they should not allow anyone to sit on your bed whom you do not like. But if they do that, you can chastise them but not severely. Their rights upon you are that you should provide them with food and clothing in a fitting manner. I have left among you the Book of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala), and if you hold fast to it, you would never go astray. And you would be asked about me (on the Day of Resurrection), (now tell me) what would you say?

They (the audience) said: We will bear witness that you have conveyed (the message), discharged (the ministry of Prophethood) and given wise (sincere) counsel. 

He (the narrator) said: He (the Holy Prophet) then raised his forefinger towards the sky and pointing it at the people (said): "O Allah, be witness. O Allah, be witness," saying it thrice.

Sunan al-Tirmidhi Vol. 1, Book 7, Hadith 1163.

Sulaiman bin Amr bin Al-Ahwas (RadiyAllahu ‘anhu) said:

My father narrated to me that he witnessed the farewell Hajj with the Messenger of Allah (SalAllahu ’alahi wa Sallam). So he thanked and praised Allah and he reminded and gave admonition. He mentioned a story in his narration and he [the Prophet (SalAllahu ’alahi wa Sallam)] said: “And indeed I order you to be good to the women, for they are but captives with you over whom you have no power than that, except if they come with manifest Fahishah (lewd behavior). If they do that, then abandon their beds and beat them with a beating that is not harmful. And if they obey you then you have no cause against them. Indeed you have rights over your women, and your women have rights over you. As for your rights over your women, then they must not allow anyone whom you dislike to treat on your bedding (furniture), nor to admit anyone in your home that you dislike. And their rights over you are that you treat them well in clothing them and feeding them.

Sunan ibn Maja Vol. 3, Book 9, Hadith 1851

It was narrated that:

Sulaiman bin Amr bin Ahwas (RadiyAllahu ‘anhu) said:

“My father told me that he was present on the Farewell pilgrimage with the Messenger of Allah (SalAllahu ’alahi wa Sallam). He praised and glorified Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala), and reminder and exhorted (the people). Then he said: 'I enjoin good treatment of women, for they are prisoners with you, and you have no right to treat them otherwise, unless they commit clear indecency. If they do that, then forsake them in their beds and hit them, but without causing injury or leaving a mark. If they obey you, then do not seek means of annoyance against them. You have rights over your women and your women have rights over you. Your rights over your women are that they are not to allow anyone whom you dislike on treat on your bedding (furniture), not allow anyone whom you dislike to enter your houses. And their right over you are that should treat them kindly with regard to their clothing and food.

Report by Al-Jahiz (RadiyAllahu ‘anhu)

Al-Jahiz in the Kitāb al-Bayān wa-al-Tabyīn presents the following text of the Farewell Sermon, also mentioned in Musnad of Imam Ahmad (Hadith no.19774) as translated and annotated by Nuh Ha Mim Keller:

All praise is Allah’s. We praise Him, seek His help, ask His forgiveness, and we repent unto Him. We seek refuge in Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) from the evils of our selves and our bad actions. Whomever Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) guides none can lead astray, and whomever He leads astray has no one to guide him. I testify that there is no god but Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) alone, without any partner, and I testify that Muhammad (SalAllahu ’alahi wa Sallam)is his slave and messenger. I enjoin you, O servants of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala), to be godfearing towards Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala), I urge you to obey Him, and I begin with that which is best.

To commence: O people, hear me well: I explain to you. For I do not know; I may well not meet you again in this place where I now stand, after this year of mine.

O people: your lives and your property, until the very day you meet your Lord, are as inviolable to each other as the inviolability of this day you are now in, and the month you are now in. Have I given the message?—O Allah, be my witness. So let whoever has been given something for safekeeping give it back to him who gave him it.

Truly, the usury of the Era of Ignorance has been laid aside forever, and the first usury I begin with is that which is due to my father’s brother ‘Abbas ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib (RadiyAllahu ‘anhu). And truly the blood-vengeance of the Era of Ignorance has been laid aside forever, and the first blood-vengeance we shall start with is that which is due for the blood of [my kinsman] ‘Amir ibn Rabi‘a ibn Harith ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib (RadiyAllahu ‘anhu). Truly, the hereditary distinctions that were pretensions to respect in the Era of Ignorance have been laid aside forever, except for the custodianship of the Ka’bah [by Bani ‘Abd al-Dar] and the giving of drink to pilgrims [by al-‘Abbas].

A deliberate murder is subject to retaliation in kind. An accidental death from a deliberate injury means a death resulting from [something not usually used or intended as a deadly weapon such as] a stick or a rock, for which the indemnity is one hundred camels: whoever asks for more is a person of the Era of Ignorance.

O people: the Devil has despaired of ever being worshipped in this land of yours, though he is content to be obeyed in other works of yours, that you deem to be of little importance.

O people: postponing the inviolability of a sacred month [claiming to postpone the prohibition of killing in it to a subsequent month, so as to continue warring despite the sacred month’s having arrived] is a surfeit of unbelief, by which those who disbelieve are led astray, making it lawful one year and unlawful in another, in order to match the number [of months] Allah has made inviolable. Time has verily come full turn, to how it was the day Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) created the heavens and the earth. Four (4) months there are which are inviolable, three (3) in a row and fourth by itself: Dhul Qa’dah, Dhul Hijjah, and Muharram; and Rajab, which lies between Jumada and Sha‘ban. Have I given the message?—O Allah, be my witness.

O people: verily you owe your women their rights, and they owe you yours. They may not lay with another men in your beds, let anyone into your houses you do not want without your permission, or commit indecency. If they do, Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) has given you leave to debar them, send them from your beds, or [finally] strike them in a way that does no harm. But if they desist, and obey you, then you must provide for them and clothe them fittingly. The women who live with you are like captives, unable to manage for themselves: you took them as a trust from Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala), and enjoyed their sex as lawful through a word [legal ruling] from Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala). So fear Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) in respect to women, and concern yourselves with their welfare. Have I given the message?—O Allah, be my witness.

O people, believers are but brothers. No one may take his brother’s property without his full consent. Have I given the message?—O Allah, be my witness. Never go back to being unbelievers, smiting each other’s necks, for verily, I have left among you that which if you take it, you will never stray after me: the Book of Allah. Have I given the message?—O Allah, be my witness.

O people, your Lord is One, and your father is one: all of you are from Adam, and Adam was from the ground. The noblest of you in Allah’s sight is the most godfearing: Arab has no merit over non-Arab other than godfearingness. Have I given the message?—O Allah, be my witness. —At this, they said yes.

He said, Then let whomever is present tell whomever is absent.

O people, Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) has apportioned to every deserving heir his share of the estate, and no deserving heir may accept a special bequest, and no special bequest may exceed a third of the estate. A child’s lineage is that of the [husband who owns the] bed, and adulterers shall be stoned. Whoever claims to be the son of someone besides his father or a bondsman who claims to belong to other than his masters shall bear the curse of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) and the angels and all men: no deflecting of it or ransom for it shall be accepted from him.

And peace be upon all of you, and the mercy of Allah.(Subhanahu waTa’ala).

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

PSALMS OF DAVID (PEACE BE UPON HIM)

WARNING, FROM GOD ALMIGHTY OF PROPHET DAWOOD (‘ALAIH-IS-SALAM) and PROPHET SULAIMAN (‘ALAIH-IS-SALAM), A UNIQUE COMBINATION OF A FATHER AND A SON, THE RICHEST AND THE WISEST PROPHETS ON THIS EARTH SENT BY ALLAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA’ALA).

PSALM CHAPTER 50

But to the wicked Almighty God says: ”What right have you to recite my statutes or take my covenant on your lips?” Verse 17

For you hate discipline, and you cast My words behind you. Verse 18

If you see a thief, you are pleased with him, and you keep company with adulterers. Verse 19

You give your mouth free rein for evil, and your tongue frames deceit. Verse 20

You sit and speak against your brother; you slander your own mother's son. Verse 21

These things you have done, and I have been silent; you thought that I was one like yourself. But now I rebuke you and lay the charge before you. Verse 22

Mark this, then, you who forget Almighty God, lest I tear you apart, and there be none to deliver! Verse 23

Attached above is a WARNING from Almighty God of Prophet Dawood and Sulaiman (‘Alaihim-us-Salam), the two most famous father and son, the richest and the wisest Prophets of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) sent to this earth to rule as Kings.

I am working as a Muslim Chaplain (Imam) for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. After I retired, I have been preaching to non-Muslims, including but not limited to Jews and Christians since July 1993.

While studying the Holy Bible (New Testament and Holy Torah (Old Testament)), I read Psalms of David (Peace be upon him) and found Psalm Chapter 50 Verse 16-23 very interesting.

It seems quite clear that Almighty God of Dawood and Sulaiman (‘Alaihim-us-Salam) was not happy with Bani Israel and was warning them for dire consequences in case they don’t obey Him, but also with the corrupt politicians of so-called Islamic Republic of Pakistan and warning them, also.

"Mark this, then, you who forget Almighty God, lest I tear you apart, and there be none to deliver.” Psalm Chapter 50, Verse 23.

As a Muslim, I tried to shake up and wake up the sleeping poor and rich people of Pakistan from their deep slumber under the order of Amr bil Ma’roof and Nahi ‘an-il-Munkar.

I used the Messages of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) from the Holy Qur’an, Sayings of Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam), from Hadith, laws from Islamic Jurisprudence (Shari’ah), and quotes from the Kalam-e-Iqbal (Poetry) of the Poet Phiolosopher of the East, Allamah Sir Dr. Muhammad Iqbal Rahmatullahi ‘alaih, with due apologies.

اٹھو میری دنیا کے سوئے ہوئے غریبوں اور امیروں کو جگا دو

I admit that I could not achieve what I wanted to do in more than thirty (30) years, what all of the above have been unable to do, to change the mindset of these so-called Muslims for more than fourteen hundred years ago.

خدا نے آج تک اس قوم کی حالت نہیں بدلی ، نہ ہو جس کو خیال خود اپنی حالت کے بدلنے کا

As a final resort, I decided to use Psalm Chapter 50, Verses 17-23, hoping and praying that the warning from Almighty God of David and Solomon (Peace be upon them) will tear them apart if they forget Almighty God, may help to shake them up and wake them up from their deep slumber, In shaa Allah!

Ibn Katheer Early Days (Stories of the beginning of Creation and the early Prophet from Adam to Yoonus) Taken from Al-Bidayah wan-Nihayah

Chapter: Mention of the Creation of the Jinn and the Story of Satan (Part 7)

Ahmad narrated on the authority of ‘Ata’ Ibn As-Sa’ib, who reported on the authority of Anas that he said, “Stand close together in the ranks (in prayer), because Satan stands in the spaces.” Al-Bukhari narrated on the authority of Abu Sa‘eed Al-Khudri that he said: The Messenger of Allah said, “If somebody intends to pass in front of you while you are praying, prevent him; should he insist, prevent him again; if he insists again, fight with him (i.e. prevent him violently e.g. by pushing him violently), because such a person is (like) a devil.” Imam Ahmad narrated on the authority of Abu Sa‘eed Al- Khudri that the Messenger of Allah stood up to offer the Fajr prayer and he (Abu Sa‘eed) was standing behind him. He recited and became confused in his recitation. When the prayer was over, he said, “If only you could have seen me and Iblees I grabbed him and kept on trying to strangle him until I felt the coldness of his saliva on these two fingers, the thumb and the one next to it. Were it not for the prayer of my brother Sulaiman (Solomon), he would have been tied to one of the pillars of the mosque this morning, and the children of Al- Madinah would have played with him. Whoever among you can prevent anyone from coming between him and the qiblah, let him do so.” Muslim narrated on the authority of Abu Ad-Darda’ that he said: The Messenger of Allah stood praying and we heard him say, “I seek refuge with Allah from you.” Then he repeated three times, “I curse you with the curse of Allah.” Then he stretched out his hand as though he was taking hold of something. When he finished the prayer, we said, ‘O, Messenger of Allah! We heard you say something during the prayer which we have not heard you say before, and we

saw you stretch out your hand.’ He replied, ‘Allah’s enemy Iblees came with fire to put it in my face, so I said three times, ‘I seek refuge in Allah from you.’ Then I said three times, ‘I curse you with the full curse of Allah.’ But he did not retreat. Then I intended to seize him. I swear by Allah that had it not been for the supplication of my brother Sulaiman, he would have been bound, and made an object of sport for the children of the people of Al-Madinah’.” Allah, Most High, says, Let not then this (worldly) present life deceive you, nor let the chief deceiver (Satan) deceive you about Allah. (Soorah Luqman 31:33) He, Most High, says, Surely, Shaitan is an enemy to you, so take (treat) him as an enemy. He only invites his hizb (followers) that they may become the dwellers of the blazing Fire. (Soorah Fatir 35:6) So Satan spares no effort to hinder and confuse a person in all of his affairs, all of his activities and all of his inactive moments, as Al-Hafiz Abu Bakr Ibn Abi Ad- Dunya wrote in his book entitled: Masa’id Ash- Shaitan (The Afflictions of Satan); and in it are numerous benefits. In the Sunan of Abu Dawood, it is reported that the Messenger of Allah used to say in his supplication, “I seek refuge with You from Satan’s attempts to struggle with me, play with me and corrupt my religion and my mind at the time of death.” At-Tirmidhi, An-Nasa’i, Ibn Hibban (in his Saheeh) and Ibn Abi Hatim (in his Tafseer) narrated on the authority of ‘Abdullah Ibn Mas‘ood that he said: The Messenger of Allah said, “Verily, Satan has an effect on the son of Adam, and the angel also has an effect. As for the effect of Satan, it is by his threatening him with evil repercussions and rejecting the truth. As for the effect of the angel, it is by his promise of a good end and believing in the truth. Whoever finds the latter, let him know that it comes from Allah and let him thank Allah for it. Whoever finds the former, let him seek refuge (with Allah) from Satan.” Then he recited, Satan threatens you with poverty and orders you to commit fahsha’ (sins, immorality, lewdness etc.); whereas Allah promises you forgiveness from Himself and bounty, and Allah is All-Sufficient for His creations’ need, All-Knower. (Soorah Al- Baqarah 2:268)
