Handling The Self

Handling the Self

By mfarnold March 2025

Know that one is not alone

Physically, but spiritually,

So care for your soul,

By being aware of your Goal.

People and unseen factors

Influence your matters,

But YOU Decide,

What to expose and what to hide.

Be aware of manipulators,

Exploiters, hypocrites and

Detractors.

They come from various sectors.

Your Safety Rests with your Protector.

Trust in Allah SWT, Only.

Be informed of His SWT Guidance, Only.

Make your decision, 

to Please Him SWT, Only,

THAT is Gratitude To Allah SWT, Expressly.

And Remember, you are never lonely.

Always be creative,

Never use time to be destructive.

Boredom is a self-inflicted negative.

A loser's two days are equal,

So use your mind with what is crucial.

Don't waste your time with

People who are difficult. 

They aim to let your personality catapult.

Just avoid such a culprit,

But pray for their forgiveness,

To stay in Allah SWT Graciousness

Invest in giving to good people,

Who honour your presence.

They are worth your excellence,

Because they build your intelligence,

Harnessing both your brilliance.

Life is a journey

Of self-discovery,

And everything and everyone 

Are opportunities,

To reflect on their inherent qualities,

That will bring you closer,

To your Wonderful Possibilities.

In shaa Allah Aameen 

Who Supports?

 786

Who Supports?

by mfarnold March 2025

Those with Hope

and do not choke,

For they are not 

the complaining folk.

They show commitment

and do not harbour resentment.

They Trust in Allah SWT,

Not in a popular fella.

They consider the subject,

and is not suspect.

They are not self-glory seekers,

But listen carefully to believers.

While many support what is fashionable,

They support what is valuable.

They have no interest to be seen

Only to help what should have been.

The drive in the west

for "individualism" quest,

has left many bereft

of the motivation that lies in the chest.

Those whose hearts are sound

and do not look for a mound

to climb to pretend to be "profound",

Are the ones who support what they found

has credibility and Astounds.

Often those who wish

to be "politically correct"

lack the decency to protect,

The vulnerable through a well-meant project.

They fail to use their intellect.

Choose now, which character you are,

And help others to become a rising star,

Because you have decided to open the jar

of potential goodness that jumps afar.  

Don't be a talker

It is better to be a walker,

Who helps those who falter,

Not of their own agenda

But victims of offenders. 

It might take a while

For you to compile

A New Self that is versatile,

Opening a new file,

That contributes to what is Fertile.   

Truth

786

Truth

by mfarnold March 2025

Is it relative,

Is it subjective,

Is it objective,

Is it Real?

The answer lies 

in the inner- and outer-self.

When the outer-self claims peace,

But the inner-self is arrogant

and others are inferior - 

Causing always an argument,

Then this disharmony,

is falsehood,

Hated to be exposed,

By The Truth of Muslims.

When the outer-self is humble

and the inner-self, hopeful

and others are respected,

Then truth is unfolding,

And Expressed.

Life is to purge 

the believers from their sins,

And to deprive disbelievers

from all Blessings Q3:141 -

In Preparation for Heaven or Hell.

Fasting is the voluntary

Purging from evil,

To experience the Value of Truth -

Which lies in Reflection, Praise, 

Service and Commitment - the Core

Experiences of Fasting -

That is Intelligence.

Only the Ignorant

Arrogant, Resistant,

Defiant and Deviant,

Breaks The Covenant

and will end up desperant,

Losing all Hope, 

Here and There. 

To Hold on to The Rope of Allah SWT,

Is to Know Islam Is THE TRUTH.

It is to Develop The Soul's 

Strength to withstand

any whispering, despair,

Negativity and affairs

That inhibit

Growth and Sustenance,

With God Almighty's Assistance,

Which Builds Confidence,

The Real Truth Essence

Alghamdu Lillaah

 

Time Wasters

 786

Time Wasters

by mfarnold Feb 2025

Even though Revelation

Orders Not to Take notice,

and imitate

evil promoters,

Not to moan, but

Follow Activation,...

Many Pseudo Politicisation,

Choose to waste time

With argumentation,

and Rebuttal Academisation,

Using the same evil Frameworks 

for self-glorification,

While lazy in assisting

Revitalization of Real, Active Truth

Establishment.

Why? - 

It requires creativity, commitment,

investment, and establishment,

That need work, sincerity,

Respect and care 

for Community.

They spend time Criticizing,

Demonising, Character Assassination,

But never with solutions.

These are the Time wasters,

Who are often self-endulgers,

Dragging others down into dangers.

Turn Away, Give Salaam,

Pray for their forgiveness 

and overlook their folly,

To recapture unity.

They might see the beauties,

But if they don't, don't have enmities,

Just Remind them of New Possibilities, 

The Imaam

 786

The Imaam

by mfarnold Feb 2025

Is he the Leader

In a western perceiver?

No ! He is In Arabic Wisdom,

One who Serves 

His people with steel nerves -

Fearless and creatively supportive

of What will give directive,

Towards a progressive

Narrative.

He is one who see to, 

Cares for, repair.. is the Foundation

of a his community,

Creating unity.

for collective prosperity.

He is the "Mother Figure"

Who knows the needs of his people,

Uses his Mosque as the Government

House, That when The Athaan

Calls for "The Meeting",

Is Ready to inform his Congregation,

To address the specific needs

of different families,

Because He regularly visits 

The Neighbourhood... and knows!

Anything short of the above,

Is passive, exploitive

Regressive, Oppressive, 

Destructive, Corrosive,

Subversive and sedative.

When a community struggles

It rests on the Imaam, who Is the Example,

To provide in ample,

To Create a Community of Example.

The Practical involvement

of The Imaam procurement,

Sets a community into real improvements,

Because he represents

The Prophetic agent,

In these days of recent,

and not the western "leader", 

Bureaucratic "ruler",

Hardly ready as a "server". 

Moving Forward

 786

Moving Forward

by mfarnold Feb 2025

Forward moving,

Requires deconstructing,

The previous debilitating

Systems that prevented progressing -

Prescriptive, Eurocentric,

Competitive Education,

Destroys inner global motivation,

breaks down world collaboration,

coordination, personal, moral inspiration,

and world aspirations. 

It destroys self-evaluation,

needed for cooperation

and generally ignores inner revitalisation,

The core needs for dialogue 

and sincere communication,

to ensure sustainable reliance,

that counter unfair dominance.

Holistic Qualitative resistance,

Without ignorance and violence,

Lays the Foundation for Resilience.

HLL-Holistic Leisure Learning,

Which removes fears of examining

While promoting,

non-graded, steps-based excellence,

with holistic intelligence,

creates the platform for resurgence

of Lasting Peace, 

Inclusive Growth,

Progressive Sustainability,

for a Supportive Humanity.

HLL Changes mindsets from:

Specialisation to Holistic Integration,

Control to Regeneration,

Bureaucracy to Diplomacy,

Intolerance to Forbearance, ...

The Requirements to Ensure

Gracious Deliverance

From poverty and oppression.

The above are Serious Suggestions,

That Need Committed Expressions

from All Individuals,

Sectors and Persuasions.

Political Tricks

 786

Political Tricks

by mfarnold Feb 2025

So many political parties,

Drive enmities,

Perfect for the controlling financial elite,

Who created it, for others to compete,

While they laugh at how the masses deplete.

Politics is a hoax

Letting Analysts think 

Their "awareness" evoke,

But actually are in a choke,

Created for the ignorant bloke,

Who is holistically broke,

Not able to see through the smoke.

British Meeting Procedures,

Government Infrastructures,

and Educational culture,

Are designed for enclosure

of the minds to reduce pressure,

for true, judicial superstructures,

That will topple western empires,

Don't get involved,

Rather work with those who solve

and dissolve,

family and community problems, with resolve -

These are the practical, creative solutions,

Political delusions aim for exclusions,

So that all systems serve the enfranchised,

Increasing poverty and middle class confusions.

Uplift families and communities

Through charities and practicalities

Create employment in localities,

For youth to provide in emergencies.

Become Change Agencies

and leave the political stupidities.

Remember, real politics lies 

With the Secret Service of every Country,

And Media gets the paltry.

Building families, IS community,

And Real Leadership, Serves,

With The Nerve,

To Provide Free Medi-care, Water, 

Electricity and Holistic, Learning Quality - Leisurely,

For the country's Real Prosperity. 

Bo-Kaap:Always Protected

 786 

Bo-Kaap: Always Protected Alghamdu lillaah

By mfarnold Feb 2025

Not descendents of slaves,
A post-apartheid, white narrative,
To stem Islam's Effective.

Many White Origin from Criminals,

(see:  The Incredible Journey of Mary Bryant:Youtube)

Their arrogance, understandable.

Bo-Kaap 'Top of City'
Descendants of Indonesian Mardykers,
"People of Earthly Thikr"
Uprighteous, believing community,
Known for challenging injustice,
Feared by colonialists,

Requested by Van Riebeeck,
To help him establish
The Cape station of Refreshment,
In return for citizenship,
Land ownership,
Freedom of Islamic Worship
Protected by Van Diemen Plakaat
Since 1657 -
An Islamic haven,
Opening doors for international 

Muslim Family Settlement,

Spiritualising The Cape Escarpment. 

Dutch, British, Muslim inter-marry,
British-Ottoman Treaty,
Release of Tuan Guru,
Established Owal, with ease,
First, world public school,
Successful Islamic Madrasa pool
Of Resources and Birthstool
Of a Rich Islamic Tool.

Conversions to Islam at the Cape,
Called upon state,
For Christian missionary schools,
That barred Muslim children
From their education,...
Our forefathers' acceptance
And rejection, 

Then Trust in Allah SWT,

caused the rise of 

Muslims'-craftsperson-perfection,
And National Party Protection
Under Malay Quarter seclusion,
For fitting on in Bo-Kaap Muslim homes,

their tailored dresses and suits,
-The Creator's Pursuit
That Ensured Islamic Root,

Now, The Cape Most Important Tourist Route.

When DA provincial delayed
Bo-Kaap Heritage enclaved,
ANC national ensured,
Heritage secured.

Bo-Kaap's own language, property,
Surname identity,
Freedom of Muslim Spirituality,
Prove Bo-Kaap was never in slavery. 

Free for Divinely Inspired Creativity,

Now Valued by many a Nationality

Don't Ask Colonists

 786

DON'T ASK COLONISTS
By mfarnold - Feb 2025

If their origin is - dropped
British criminals on shores
Of colonies,
With faked heritage and identities,
It is understandable,
That their systems will be questionable.

So today, do not ask their
'Credible', because it will
Be prejudicial,
To ensure their own survival
via mass deprival.

Their systems are crumbling,
Causing widespread grumbling,
That expose their insincere rambling,
As a last ditch from drowning.

So do not ask them for credit,
With what you have created,
Because their aim is to keep
Non-Europeans begging
For their authorizing,
constantly rejecting,
so that we lose respecting
our own innovating
Products for freeing
People from their expensive
Energy grid and transporting.

Water-powered cars,
Free electricity for all,
ZIMS radio-wave powered
Cars and motorbikes,
Never to refuel or charge,
Even providing electricity
To homes and communities,
Are threats to western exploitive economies,
Then Poisoning And killing
The innovating,

 is to them 'exciting'.

Only share with those who care,
Not with those who thrive to scare

The innovators, from the oppressed,

 who dare.

Talent

 786 

Talent
by mfarnold Feb 2025

The media

Promote hysteria

For money mania

Success there

Is often not fair

For its selectivity

based on economic activity

Sponsors create hype

Which often select a type

That promote western tripe.

Don't be fooled 

There are many others who rule

fields not western and cool,

But vested in real talent,

By people silent,

but brilliant

In fields prudent,

Spirtually excellent,

and holistically sufficient.

Media aims to mind occupy

To rob you of creative rely

That can be your supply

beyond western common tie

Don't look for credit

Do with merit

What you deem beautifully inherent

It is Time

 786 

It is Time

By mfarnold Feb 2025

Capitalism is collapsing,
Dictatorship is re-surfacing,
Unable to ever re-establishing,
Due to open-source publishing.

The time has come not to be defined.,
By common political confines,
Aimed at losing The Connection
With The Divine.

ALLAH SWT DEFINES
who we really are,
Based on our labour
Behaviour, fervour, outpour
And valour....
Depending on Him SWT,
To be our liberator and saviour.

We only live once,
So count every ounce
And do not denounce,
The good efforts of the profound.
Stand your ground.
Consider your great background,
Your heritage compound,
To support and create
That which resound,
And will astound. 

In shaa Allah Aameen

Who needs AI?

 786 Who Needs AI? by mfarnold  Jan 2025

To many AI is needed

For Market heeded.

Yet it generates info feeded

From existing fractionlised educated,

Which proves to be outdated

To deal with the post-modern minded, 

who is so isolated,

due to the computer-dislocated.

It may make millions in revenue

But lack deep value.

The Qur'anic Arabic is so Deep

That it surpasses AI with Steeps

Showing Advancements in Leaps.

Those not connected to electronics

Seem to create more lasting economics

With self-dynamics,

That proves to be more sustainable

Because it is dependable,

For it can function without electric cable.

Creativity is Real Identity

with simple materials, used in unity,

with its inner potentiality,

Profoundly mesmerising,

For those who value enterprising,

without computerising,

With simple, readily available visualising,

That deeply excites the soul from within

To tap into the Spirit's Unique Transcendence,

That surpasses Artificial Intelligence.

The Path

 786

The Path 
by mfarnold Jan 2025

The way towards Nearness To Allah, The Almighty

Is about re-creating The Original Personality,

Which we had in The Place of Felicity,

At The Dawn of Divine Creativity -
Fitrah - Body, Soul and Spirit, all in Divine Unity.

With Guidance, we are Promised, Safety,

Even during trials and difficulty.

It is all about Purity,

Of Thought, Speech and Activity

That resonate with Empathy,

Sincerity and Reciprocity,

in and out of community.

Growth rests on Generosity,

Without expectation, but with humility.

It translates into Serenity -

The Core Value of Spirituality.

Stay in good company,

Never submit to negativity.

It drains Your Potentiality,

That darkens clarity,

in your Gracious Journey.

Reciting Qur'an and other Liturgy,

Bring Calmness and Liberty,

From the attachment to materiality,

which brings about abnormality,

That threatens Human Tranquillity -

The Goal for Connecting with Divinity.

Imposed Eurocentric Culture

 786

Imposed Eurocentric Culture
By mfarnold Jan 2025

Idle Individualism -
Is the cornerstone of capitalism
Which rests in competition
Introduced to children
Through examination,
Which builds frustration
And then isolation -
The careful plan of extortionism
creating fear and confusion
In young and adult minds through
Western education of regurgitation.

Packaged as "progress"
Is actually personal regress,
Via institutional stress,
That breaks family nearness
And disconnection with faithfulness
Into an academic culture that is spiritless,
Posed as intellectualism,
Giving rise to criticism and cynicism,
Leading to dislocation of personal identity
Into group mentality,
To feed exploitive political insecurity
Culminating in social disunity,
The engineered foundation
For drug addiction,
Gangsterism, gayism,
Hedonism, pleasure seeking
To escape prescriptive educating,
And dumbed media consumering,

Cash Cows for the Rich Investing. 

Faith in Allah SWT is illuminating.
That is why materialists
Attack spiritualists.
Because it threatens
The coffers of lobbyists.
Who make money on theorising
And politicising,
Giving rise to bullying and antagonism,
Away from Realism,
Into confused illusionism,
That leads to idolism.

Now, one can see the need
To take heed,
Through religious, practical treats
Of actions that defeat
And raise community
Into Divine Destiny
Through productive creativity. 

Shariah

 786

SHARIAH
by mfarnold Jan 2025

Q45:18 - A Clear Path,
Towards Peace and Progress
To prevent desirous regress,

It is ALLAH SWT'S MERCY
Without Compromise, wrapped in Clemency
Leniency and Agency,conditionality -
The Water Resource for Refreshment,
Of one's commitment
To ensure Fitrah-attainment- mind-body-spirit compliment,
That Enjoys Divine Reestablishment
Freeing the self from disappointment.

An Opportunity to unite
With Divine Guidance that Ignite,
Our full potential to take flight,
Transcending commonality, with insight.

It prevents untruths from taking hold
That corrupts the soul,
Placing one into a Disbelieving mould
That prevents humanity to positively unfold.

Shariah is Divine Guidance
For mind clearance
From disturbance
Of whimsical interference,
For Attainment of
Exceptional Intelligence.

Tajweed

by mfarnold Jan 2025

From The root JA-WA-DA -

We learn Tajweed is to better,

And Free The Self from fetter

That causes doubts that cover

Truth to discover.

Tajweed helps to dispel the ghosts -

internal hosts

That aim to toast

A soul that boasts. 

Its varied tonal frequencies

Calm the soul into ecstasies 

That experiences the generosities

Of Allah SWT's Creative Immensities.

It is Sadaqa that mould

Easing the goal,

to be Consoled

by The One Who Holds

The Destiny of all souls.

Tears well up in the eyes,

Of the one who tries,

To be sincere in Strives.

It is an experience, 

free from critical expedience.

Appropriate and relevant,

To the true supplicant.

Excellent in Artistry,

Opening new knowledge of variety

That improves the destiny

of the Believer In The One in Unity,

Who Bestows Liberally.

No haste in Recital,

Its slowness is vital,

to improve the Self in Total,

For Allah SWT's Mercy in The Inventual

Walk the Talk

786

Walk The Talk

by mfarnold :1st Jan 2025

When the solution is ready

and a request is made steady

to change the destiny 

of oppressed community

with effective strategy,

The book-reading Analysts of polity,

choose not to join the new unity,

but continue moaning about illegitimacy

of western tricked "democracy".

Academics complain, but they stay in the loop

that marginalises the masses into a stoop

of a confusing hoop.

Is the one who moans 

the same as the one who follows the Path of Power? -

The Question Qur'an Relates,

That wake armchair critical state,

which only creates

empty talks, but no readiness 

to follow new dictates,

that will redirect States

into the new way that stimulates

a new mode that holisticly educates,

To free the minds from blind postulates

that have done nothing but regurgitate

empty political critical "communicates".

Holistic learning with practical implementation,

Immediately connected to youth remuneration,

is the way forward to stimulate,

family revitalisation

which ensures economic stimulation,

for global progression.

One can only invite towards a new realisation,

that replaces education

With Real Holistic integration,

Towards Spirited Motivation,

for successful illumination.

So let a Good Group

Unite to Holistically Establish

Universally Accepted Good,

Ma'ruuf, to confidently

build resistance against immorality -

Advice from Qur'anic Enlightment

for the Truly Intelligent.
