Returning to the beginning or completing the full cycle, getting judged and in the future will reap the promised rewards – all with ALLAH’s help because as any conquering hero (Jesus the son of Mary for example) should know:
O men! Here is a parable set forth! Listen to it! Those on whom, besides ALLAH, you call, cannot create (even) a fly, if they all met together for the purpose! And if the fly should snatch away anything from them, they would have no power to release it from the fly. Feeble are {both} those who petition and those whom they petition {as ALLAH is the only REAL POWER}! Quran (22:73)
Some Muslims are probably upset by the notion that the Book of Revelation appears to give Jesus (pbh) a kind of Divinity but it doesn’t:
Behold, he {Jesus} is coming with clouds, and every eye will see him, even they who pierced {meaning scorned/opposed} him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of him {for he comes to establish his no nonsense kingdom on Earth in the true worship of ALLAH}. Even so, Amen.
“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” {of this cycle} says the lord {our master or Messiah}, “who is and who was and who is {yet} to come {because as of this writing he hasn’t returned yet}, {by} the {WILL of the} Almighty.”
I, John, both your brother and companion in the tribulation and {in the coming} kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of GOD and {also} for the {true} testimony of Jesus Christ. Revelation (1:7-9)
And he said to me, “It is done {completed}! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts {in my kingdom – ‘And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring and they will hear my voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd’ – John (10:16) meaning one religion (Islam) – in the paradise on Earth}. Revelation (21:6)
The similitude of Jesus before ALLAH is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: “Be”. And he was.
The Truth (comes) from ALLAH alone; so be not of those who doubt. Quran (3:59-60)
The ONE GOD has no beginning and no end! Therefore, there is no harm in thinking of Jesus (pbh) as our adam and our Messiah (end game by which he (Muhammad), the Prophet for mankind and Jinn, was able to come unto the world to present the ‘finished product’ as to the religion chosen not by man but by the ONE GOD HIMSELF – if I do not go (complete my designated duties, he cannot come {Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper {Spirit of truth} will not come to you; but if I depart, I GOD will send him to you – John (16:7)} stated by Jesus, who being the complete alpha and omega of our cycle, became the rightful Messiah!
The slight altering of the text in the past is just an example of the tomfoolery that they engaged in in order to fit a square peg in a round hole and thus plug in their notions of, for example, the corrupt idea of trinity:
But because of their breach of their covenant (meaning that category of individual who practiced deviation), WE cursed them, and made their hearts grow hard; they change the words from their (right) places and forget a good part of the message that was sent them, nor will you cease to find them- barring a few – ever bent on (new) deceits: but forgive them, and overlook (their misdeeds): for ALLAH loves those who are kind. Quran (5:13)
Other thoughts are also a dead giveaway! In Islam, ALLAH does not come riding down on the clouds and will only reveal HIMSELF FACE to face with the high Believers on the Last Day. HIS MAJESTIC GLORY cannot be withstood by this simple creation called Earth and its environs. Nor will the disbelievers or those sentenced to Hell be allowed that privilege to see the GREATNESS of viewing their CREATOR’s FACE.
We (the human race) are patterned after our father adam, hence called in the book of the Christians ‘our elder brother’ (meaning Jesus) and he had to win through to be that Messiah for the Believers by being pierced or stung by the vagaries of life and men throughout the ages – But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon him, and by his stripes we are healed – Isaiah (53:5).
There are lots of sound reasons that this alpha and omega individual is only a human being and there are logical reasons that these dishonest individuals corrupted scripture to ‘force a direction of beliefs on the people’. But common sense and Islamic knowledge has a tendency to take away the ‘cover’ that these criminals laid down as their invented religious philosophy that they thought that they could use to control mankind with it.
However, Quranic verses like (2:62), (2:121), (2:136), (2:285), (4:136), (7:157) and (42:13)are still currently applicable and make sense to those who understand!
The chief lesson here is that if one truly turns to ALLAH in sincere repentance and takes HIM as one’s GUIDE (as adam did in the Garden – Hebrews (5:7) as follows:
(who, in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to HIM {the ONLY ONE} who was able to save him from {spiritual} death, and was heard because of his godly fear) then no matter the hardships presented; there will be success at the end (Salvation) which after all is the real goal of life!
The Christian philosophy to Hebrews (5:7) is to attribute this verse to Jesus (pbh) in the Garden where he went for solace before he was taken to be executed. In other words, his so-called trial of conscience was to appeal to ‘the Father’ to have the so-called sentence of death to be removed from him. This is according to even their own book a bunch of nonsense! How so?
When one reviews, for example, the Gospel of Mark/Matthew, one finds that Jesus (pbh) is already discussing in a calm and measured voice to his Disciples on the way to Jerusalem that he will indeed be taken and be sentenced to be crucified which does not imply that he WILL BE TAKEN AND CRUCIFIED – ONLY THAT HE WILL BE TAKEN IN ORDER TO BE CRUCIFIED!
The Disciples are terrified upon hearing this piece of news but Jesus (pbh) is as calm and cool as the proverbial cucumber! Now we are told by Christian apologists that Jesus (pbh) becomes a whimpering wet noodle whose wishy-washy trust in his LORD was only an act or at worse a sham piece of bravado and that ‘come the moment’ he is melting in terror totally afraid – Hebrews (5:7)!
Now they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going before them; and they were amazed. And as they followed they were afraid. Then he took the twelve aside again and began to tell them the things that would happen to him:
“Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn him to death and deliver him to the Gentiles;
And they will mock him, and scourge him, and spit on him, and kill him. And the third day he will rise again.” Mark (10:32-34)
From that time Jesus began to show to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day. Matthew (16:21)
And kill him and be killed are words, as an example, added to the text to emphasize their current philosophy of the day based on the verdict achieved by Justin Martyr’s research into the so-called crucifixion scenario with the Jews and Roman historical records in 147 CE.
This activity was started to end the many decades long controversy concerning what really happened to Jesus (pbh) on that fateful day! Amazingly, it took over a century to accomplish this feat!
In other words, the philosophical war between the two opposing camps (crucified versus non-crucified) was now pronounced over and the job of collating and bringing together a cohesive belief system could now begin. Essentially, the crucifixion wars were essentially over in the main!
This would finally allow the Christians to build a Concordance over a span of many decades and a more or less unified belief system.
We can add further proof to this by using the words of Jesus (pbh) which declares that ‘church philosophy’ on the crucifixion issue is total nonsense. Either that or Jesus (pbh) is lying and speaking out of both sides of his mouth showing that he has no intelligence whatsoever!
That proof comes from his own words as has been described before and puts the crucifixion of Jesus issue plainly to bed as being just plain nonsense!
Jesus declares: “Therefore my FATHER loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it {UP} AGAIN.
No one {nobody} takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself {when it is called upon me to do so for I came not enforcing my will but to obey the ONE WHO sent me}. I have {been given the} power to lay it down, and I have {been given the} power to take it {back up} AGAIN. This Command {or GIFT via the Quran} I have received from my FATHER.” John (10:17-18)
Here we find that Jesus’ strong denial of any attempt on his life will succeed. Either that or he doesn’t know what he is talking about! But he does and as a result he was not crucified but another was crucified in his stead as one can find from reading the Quran.
Naturally, things didn’t happen overnight and it took many, many decades (less than two centuries thanks to Constantine) to hammer out a ‘final’ belief system which resembled, in part, a quasi-paganist approach in building a symbolic story of their hero’s so-called divine attributes, with self-serving attributes applicable to those who would join the club (religious persuasion) of the then holy Roman Empire which was composed mainly of pagans anyway.
Anyone with a degree of human integrity can see where this would lead resulting in the fit of this expression: ‘And So It Goes’!
Explain in Part the Fount of Abundance
The Fount of Abundance can only be visualized in a very small way but it is impressive to say the least. As an example we can take a hadith and kind of visualize a type of money in the bank situation which is the buildup of BARAKA or BLESSINGS to be used as a protection on the Last Day of Judgment when it comes time to face the ‘weight of the scales’. Therefore, it is called ‘money in the bank’ as a token emergency for getting out of ‘hot water’ so to speak if that soul’s balance is justified!
The weight of the scales on the Last Day of Judgment is very, very important and ‘behavior patterns’ will determine the gain or loss of accrued benefits. Even if the scale is heavy for the benefit of the soul, its actions in life could prove to be an even greater deficit whereby an empty bag of ‘goods’ will land the once richly rewarded soul into the Hell-Fire as stated in hadiths. So, prayers, fasting, Hajj, etc. may all be lost if that soul’s activities erode away its benefits leaving the once prosperous soul into virtual bankruptcy:
Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of ALLAH (pbh) said: “Do you know who the bankrupt is?” They said: “O Messenger of ALLAH the bankrupt among us is the one who has no Dirham nor property.” The Messenger of ALLAH (pbh) said: “The bankrupt in my Ummah is the one who comes with Salat and fasting and Zakat on the Day of Judgement, but he comes having abused this one {person}, falsely accusing that one, wrongfully consuming the wealth of this one, spilling the blood of that one, and beating this one. So he is seated, and this one {the one whom he harmed} is requited from his rewards {a part of his rewards are lost}. If his rewards are exhausted before the sins that he committed are requited, then some of their sins will be taken and cast upon him, then he will be cast into the Fire.” Jami at-Tirmidhi
According to Jesus (pbh): For whoever has {abundant good}, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has {had} will be taken away from him {resulting in his ‘Baraka’ being removed and his fiery destiny assured}. Matthew (13:12)
We learn from a hadith that the Prophet (pbh) told his wife Juwayriah bint al-Harith whose father was the chieftain of the Banu Mustaliq, a branch of the Banu Khuza’a tribe living in the area of Hijaz that the few hours he was gone from her house and found her in constant dhikr when he came back that he said those few hours were bested by what he said that took only less than a minute as conjectured from his speech. So, he taught her a very valuable dhikr which is:
‘ALLAH is free from imperfection and I begin with HIS PRAISE. As many times as the number of HIS creations and in accordance with HIS GOOD PLEASURE, equal to the weight of HIS THRONE and equal to the ink used in recording HIS PRAISE’ – repeated three times.
Now one has to become inventive to make an example understood! If I say this dhikr, let us say I get a reward of 10 graces. She on the other hand picks up my 10 graces without any loss to me and also picks up the, for example, 100,000 x 10 per person if one-hundred thousand people say this dhikr. But this saying didn’t originate with her but from her husband Muhammad (pbh) and he will pick up the 100,000 x 10 plus whatever reward is given for generating that good deed/expression – LIGHT UPON LIGHT!
ALLAH is the LIGHT of the Heavens and the earth. The Parable of HIS LIGHT is as if there were a Niche and within it a Lamp: the Lamp enclosed in Glass: the glass as it were a brilliant star: Lit from a blessed Tree, an Olive, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil is well-nigh luminous, though fire scarce touched it: LIGHT upon LIGHT! ALLAH does guide whom HE will to HIS LIGHT: ALLAH does set forth Parables for men: and ALLAH does know all things. Quran (24:35)
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of ALLAH said, “Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to those who follow him {follow that advice}, without detracting from their rewards at all. Whoever calls to misguidance will have a sin put upon him similar to those who follow him, without detracting from their sins at all.” (Muslim) – Like with Like!
In other words, at the end of the day – by their fruits (gathered and weighed on the Last Day of Judgment) you will know them (You will know them by their fruits: Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. (Matthew 7:16-17) – so there is no escape from meeting one’s destiny and that goes back to the hadith whereby Ali is told why a person does or is compelled to do what he does:
Ali reported that one day ALLAH’s Messenger (pbh) was sitting with a wood in his hand and he was scratching the ground. He raised his head and said: There is not one amongst you who has not been allotted his seat in Paradise or Hell. They said: ALLAH’s Messenger then, why should we perform good deeds, why not depend upon our destiny? Thereupon he said. ‘No, do perform good deeds, for everyone is facilitated in that for which he has been created; then he recited this verse: “Then, who gives to the needy and guards against evil and accepts the excellent (the truth of Islam and the path of righteousness it prescribes), WE shall make easy for him the easy end…” (Quran: xcii 5-10). (Muslim)
Hence, in this case or one way to look at it, he (pbh) becomes the Fount of Abundance and his reward from his LORD (ALLAH) is great just for this one action alone!!!
Another way of looking at it is the taking care or watering of the seedlings in a garden (or Jesus’ parable about the mustard seed is applicable here). When they prosper, the farmer who labored in the fields as prophets or believers or those who do good, REAP THE REWARDS THAT WEIGH HEAVY ON THE SCALE WHICH HELPS TO DETERMINE WHETHER THAT SOUL WILL ‘EVENTUALLY’ ENTER PARADISE OR EVENTUALLY BE SENTENCED TO THE HELL-FIRE!
In other words, the bad are placed in situations whereby they show their real colors and the good get a chance to show their real colors – so it makes sense to believe in ‘by their fruits’, they will become known on the Last Day of Judgment!
And So It Goes!
