Ramadaan Mubarak 2018

Ramadaan Mubarak to our dear readers and kind followers who seek Allah in kindness and love for their fellow man and woman. It’s been forever since I blogged on this site. Between work, home, business and life in general  I let it slip, somehow. But the way I see it, everything has a purpose and a time, and the world as well as life, is full of cycles.

There is too much going on in the world to create religion-based division, and the root of all evil is greed.

This cycle is Ramadaan; a time of fasting and prayer. And in this cycle my prayer, looking at the world, is this: that oppressors be finally grabbed by the forelock, by Allah himself. Whoever they are, whatever they’ve been up to be it for years, decades, or otherwise. A long time ago I coined the phrase “Every Pharoah Falls” and I fully believe in that.

In my life I have seen pharoahs fall which nobody could have predicted would fall, I’ve seen people taste their own bile and hate-filled words or actions without any intervention from me. Because I believe that Allah IS in fact watching, this is not just a saying; HE watches. And whilst he does not take pleasure in our pain I think that he allows pain for a reason; to teach us or to change us. In his mercy he grants respite to evildoers for a short while, yes, but eventually – eventually – the table turns.

So this is a warning to oppressors as well as a comfort to their victims; The oppressor may think that they have won, they may have full evidence of winning, they may be so close to the finish line that they are celebrating the fruits of their manipulation and destruction – but know this: That finish line is not their freedom, it is their judgement. Here, or in the Aakhira, and most time in both – Every. Pharoah. Falls.

So, Oppressor – be smug, be convinced, be full of yourself, be vile and aggressive and continue to harm but know that your day WILL come. One way or another.

And those suffering due to oppression, likewise know this – Nothing is lost, not a feather on a sparrow, not a grain off a head of wheat, without its recompense. This does not mean be silent, this does not mean accept suffering. It means STAND because you have a responsibility to self-defense, you have a right to self-esteem, and you WILL see the day of Victory, when your oppressor is “handled”. And on that day you will see him or her handled in such a Celestial way that you may even feel moved to feel sorry for them. But don’t. Because every hand will taste of what it has done, and they do nothing but heap hot coals upon their own head.
