It would possibly be justified if those who call themselves Muslims actually accepted the Laws of Islam to the best of their ability instead of throwing their hands up every time the sh*t hits the fan and crying "we're not that Muslim, just a bit".
Although i must admit that even here i find it difficult to get around without fiat currency, some people just don't see how badly it enslaves them to tyranny since they can't feel it's immediate impact.
On the bright side, the people who carry buns and cakes house to house accept rice or betelnuts etc.
Gold and silver are rare, and getting common people to circulate it and even count it, plus getting a just exchange is another nightmare.
The only other possible solutions i can see is, the leaders and people submitting to God or believers in the whole planet cashing in their fiat bankster promissory notes for rice and flour and lentils and stuff and just sitting at home and begging God for a way out for as long as possible, and bartering with it.
Give back to caesar what is caesars and to God what is God's.
Coz the more you participate in a society that rejects God, the more a partaker you become,
and the more you fight, the more they love it,
and if you don't fight, they stage false flags to create the pretext to fight.
Reminds me of this hadith, which in turn reminds me of the gog and magog siege - where the people go to the mount and beg God.
The Prophet said,
There will be a tribulation in which one who is sleeping will be better than one who is lying down,
one who is lying will be better than one who is sitting,
one who is sitting will be better than on who is standing,
one who is standing will be better than one who is walking,
one who is walking will be better than one who is riding,
and one who is riding will be better than one who is running;
all of their dead will be in Hell.
The Companion of the Prophet who narrated this Hadith said,
O Messenger of Allah, when will that be?
He said, That will be the days ofHarj.
He asked, When will the days of Harj be?
The Prophet said, When a man will not trust the person to whom he is speaking.
The Companion asked, What do you advise me to do if I live tosee that?
He said, Restrain yourself, and go back to your place of residence.
The Companion then asked, O Messenger of Allah, what should I do if someone enters my neighbourhood to attack me?
He said, Go into your house.
The Companion asked, What if he enters my house?
He said, Go intothe place where you pray and do this - and he folded his arms, - and say
My Lord is Allah, until you die.
(And We made firm their hearts when they stood up and said,
"Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth.
Never will we invoke besides Him any deity. We would have certainly spoken, then, an excessive transgression).
Abu Bakrah said, The Prophet said, There will be a tribulation duringwhich one who is lying down will be better than one who is sitting, onewho is sitting will be better than one who is standing, one who isstanding will be better than one who is walking, and one who is walkingwill be better than one who is running.
Someone asked, O Messenger ofAllah, what do you advise me to do?
He said, Whoever has camels, let him stay with them, and whoever has land, let him stay in his land.
Someone asked, What about someone who does not have anything like that?
He said, Then let him take his sword and strike its edge against a stone, then goas far away as possible. \
(Abu Dawud; similar Hadith in Muslim.)
At the time of the Fitnah of Uthman ibn Affans Khilafah (Caliphate), Sadibn Abi Waqqas said,
I bear witness that the Prophet said, There will comea tribulation during which one who sits will be better than one whostands, one who stands will be better than one who walks, and one whowalks will be better than one who runs.
Someone asked, What do you advise if someone enters my house to kill me?
He said, Be like the son of Adam(ie resign yourself).
(Muslim, Tirmidhi.)
Abu Musa al-Ashari said, The Prophet said, Before the Hour comes, therewill be a tribulation like patches of dark night.
A man will get up a believer and go to sleep a kafir, or will go to sleep a believer and get up a kafir.
The one who sits will be better than one who stands, and onewho walks will be better than one who runs.
Break your bows, cut their strings, and strike your swords against stones. If someone comes to kill any of you, then be like the better of the two sons of Adam. \
(Abu Dawud.)
Abu Dharr said, The Prophet was riding a donkey and sat me behind him. Hesaid,
O Abu Dharr, if the people were suffering from such severe hunger that you could not even get up from your bed to go to the mosque, what would you do?
I said, Allah and His Messenger know best.
He said, Be decent and restrain yourself.
Then he said, O Abu Dharr, if the people were suffering from severe death (i e if a man were worth no more than a grave), what would you do?
If the people were killing one another, untilHajarat al-Zayt (an area of Madinah) were submerged in blood, what would you do?
I said, Allah and His Messenger know best.
He said, Stay in your house and lock the door.
I asked, What if I am not left alone?
He said, Then be one of them.
I said, Should I take up my sword?
He said, If you did that, you would be joining them in their activities.
No - if you fear that the brightness of the shining sword will disturb you, then cover your face with part of your clothing, and let him carry his own sin and your sin.
(Ahmad.)
2A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: \
a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it,*even*to the years of many generations.
3A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth:
the land*is*as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
12Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye*even*to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
13And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he*is*gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.14Who knoweth*if*he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him;*even*a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?15Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:16Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.17Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say,
Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach,
that the heathen should rule over them:
wherefore should they say among the people,
Where*is*their God?
18Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people.19Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:20But I will remove far off from you the northern*army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.21Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things.
Remember in the time of dajjal we read the story of the boys who disassociate themselves from their kafir people and go a lie down in the cave?
These scriptures are like one of those treasure hunting movies where ancient maps fit like a puzzle:
1Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and pourtray upon it the city,*evenJerusalem:*2And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set*battering*rams against it round about.*3Moreover take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it*for*a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This*shall be*a sign to the house of Israel
.4Lie thou also upon thy left side,
and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it:*according*to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity.*5For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
*6And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side,
and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.*7Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thine arm*shall beuncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it.*8And, behold, I will lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege.The Defiled Bread9Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof,*according*to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.*10And thy meat which thou shalt eat*shall be*by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it.*11Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin: from time to time shalt thou drink.*12And thou shalt eat it*as*barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight.*13And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them.*14Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth.*15Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith.16Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:*17That they may want bread and water, and be astonied one with another, and consume away for their iniquity
Quran
And We made firm their hearts when they stood up and said, "Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. Never will we invoke besides Him any deity. We would have certainly spoken, then, an excessive transgression
These, our people, have taken besides Him deities. Why do they not bring for [worship of] them a clear authority? And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allah a lie?"
, "And when you have withdrawn from them and that which they worship other than Allah , retreat to the cave. Your Lord will spread out for you of His mercy and will prepare for you from your affair facility.
And [had you been present], you would see the sun when it rose, inclining away from their cave on the right, and when it set, passing away from them on the left, while they were [laying] within an open space thereof.
That was from the signs of Allah . He whom Allah guides is the [rightly] guided, but he whom He leaves astray - never will you find for him a protecting guide.
And you would think them awake, while they were asleep.
And We turned them to the right and to the left,
while their dog stretched his forelegs at the entrance. If you had looked at them, you would have turned from them in flight and been filled by them with terror.
And similarly, We awakened them that they might question one another. Said a speaker from among them, "How long have you remained [here]?" They said, "We have remained a day or part of a day." They said, "Your Lord is most knowing of how long you remained.
So send one of you with this silver coin of yours to the city and let him look to which is the best of food and bring you provision from it and let him be cautious. And let no one be aware of you.
He who among you will survive to see him should recite over him the opening verses of Surah al-Kahf…*[Muslim]
But (now), when the Truth has come to them from Ourselves, they say, "Why are not (Signs) sent to him, like those which were sent to Moses?"
Do they not then reject (the Signs) which were formerly sent to Moses? They say: "Two kinds of sorcery, each assisting the other!" And they say: "For us, we reject all (such things)!"
Say: "Then bring ye a Book from Allah, which is a better guide than either of them, that I may follow it! (do), if ye are truthful!"
Quran Al Qasas Chapter 28 Verses 48-49
I mean, the record breaking protests of 2003 were just ignored.
Though they were the biggest ever global protests in recorded history, if possible they infiltrate and co-opt them for subversive goals and in the countries where they use overt puppets, they just disperse them.
The*February 15, 2003 anti-war protestwas a coordinated day of*protestsacross the world in which people in more than 600 cities[1]*expressing opposition to the imminent*Iraq War.
It was part of a*series of protests and political events*that had begun in 2002 and continued as the war took place.
Social movement researchers have described the 15*February protest as "the largest protest event in human history."[2]
At the time, many commentators were hopeful that this global mobilization of unprecedented scale would stop the coming Iraq war.
The unprecedented size of the demonstrations was widely taken to indicate that the majority of people across the world opposed the war.*
The potential effect of the protests was generally dismissed by pro-war politicians;
the then US National Security Advisor*Condoleezza Rice*was reported as saying that the protests would
"not affect [the US administration's] determination to confront Saddam Hussein and help the Iraqi people".[4]
Do you mean you have to dodge bullets, no neo, with this method you won't have to.
Caution - woman in a red dress appears:
The fitnah of the man in the red dress
Caution - la takfur:
1Who*is*this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this*that is*glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
2Wherefore*art thou*red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?
3I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people*there wasnone with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.
4For the day of vengeance*is*in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.5And I looked, and*there was*none to help; and I wondered that*there was*none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.6And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth..
5Thus saith the LORD; Cursed*bethe man that trusteth in man,
and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.6For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,*in*a salt land and not inhabited.
7Blessed*is*the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
8For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and*that*spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.9The heart*is*deceitful above all*things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
10
I the LORD search the heart,*I*try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways,*andaccording to the fruit of his doings.
Do we turn to God neo?
Or do we look to our own strength, or beg condalezza, or the man in the red dress - possibly dyed in saffron. |Look agai n and your sight will come to you dull and discomfitted.
One presses wine, the other gets crucified on the trunks of palm trees and birds eat from his head.
Both seem to be illusions.
Better off storing the wheat like joseph's people, and begging God like Jonah's people.
