IslamRe: Emir Sanusi With Brilliant Move On Polygamy by Empiree: 5:49pm On Feb 21, 2017
AlBaqir:
^^^
A step at a time, bro. Sanusi based on the prevalent problems associated with polygamy in his society, simply says it is among what causes the highlighted problems. And indeed it is. The bitter truth is how do you want a poor man with N15,000 salary per month or less than N1000 profit per day to survive with 2,3, 4 wives and 20+ children? What is the fate of these children?
Again, I understand he's trying to measure things but in my humble opinion, a man who marries 4 women, 20 children and a man who didn't marry but got 4 baby mothers and 20 children are no different. Matter of fact, the former is still fair bcus he MARRIED them. The later can walk away from responsibilities any time any day.

Solution, they rather create jobs, work on social and basic amenities like public benefits for babies regardless how many women he has. In America, they don't care how many women you have and they don't care if you marry one or not. Their concern is only about casting for the babies which govt has provisions for. And they also hold baby father responsibleto the point that of he decides not to be there for hood baby momma, he will be forced to pay child support.

So this is what Sanusi should either work rather than trumping on people. Another implication of this approach of his is, brace for prostitution in the streets of the North even though it is already there, brace for more more and MORE




# Here in Yorubaland where Polygamous family is also known. Problems associated with it is really not "poverty, terrorism" but domestic violence and spiritual terrorism. Higher percentage of Muslim home with polygamy know no Peace compare to monogamous family.
Law simply needs to be enforced against any form of domestic violence. Offenders should have to sit his or her $ss& in jail for 6 months. And FREE MARRIAGE COUNSELING should be made available. That's the only antidote for yoruba marriage problems. Eradicate polygamy is not the solution. That leads to another set of problems.

How Was This Governor of Taraba Doing When He was In Power?
IslamRe: Islam For Muslims: Side Talk Station by Empiree: 5:25pm On Feb 21, 2017
My BIG CALL to all, at any level. This man in the picture below is Danbaba Suntai, a pharmacist, a LG chairman, State party chairman, Hon Commissioner, Secretary to the state government, above all, a onetime powerful and influential Governor of TARABA STATE.

Look at him today in a wheelchair and a toy in his hand like a baby and just his wife. He can no longer recognize his wife, children nor family members. No Political allies/hypocrites etc around him anymore and not even some family members. He can no longer sign his cheques to withdraw all the money he has accumulated not to talk of buying what he desires nor make trips abroad for leisures.

He can no longer wear those expensive clothes and designer pure leather shoes that he has accumulated to move around and showoff. His situation/condition should serve as a lesson/wake-up call to us all on what we do or say, how we busy ourselves pursuing worldly things without fear of God, telling lies, cheating/stealing and killing fellow humans because of material gain.

May the Almighty God guide us to the right path and give us good ending Amen. We wish him quick recovery Amen.

IslamRe: Emir Sanusi With Brilliant Move On Polygamy by Empiree: 1:36pm On Feb 21, 2017
Oh well, good move from his point of view. At least he places conditions that Islam placed on polygamy. However doesnt he consider FACT that nowadays, it is not even about polygamy anymore?.It is not just polygamy that causes poverty, thuggery , terrorism etc. How about UNMARRIED people having babies they dont care for?. We read in the news all the time that Nigerians who are not even Muslims are having babies and dump them in sewer or bush.

They now have "baby father and baby momma" syndrome just like in the West and the babies are not being cared for. Just wondering what is the difference exactly?. His move will bring about new set of sexual revolution in the North. He may have to choose btw their women marrying or getting pregnant by useless father who doesnt feel sense of responsibilities. At least they are married now and man may be forced to provide rather than baby father. Baby father is a whole lot different. Baby father may opt out and abandon his baby and his baby mother anytime bcus there is no legal consequences in Nigeria for now. So what happens to such babies?. It comes down to the same thing Emir tries to eradicate

So marrying more than one wife compared to having many baby mothers with babies is no diff. Matter of fact, the later is worst. So Emir's move is lopsided

IslamRe: The Soofeeyah's Dislike Of Knowledge by Empiree:
A warning is being delivered here, that unless and until you can see with the heart as well you will not be able to understand, what happens in the Last Age. You will not be able to understand and recognize the attack of Dajjal. What does Allah, Most High, say about a people who are internally blind? He has a nice beard, he performs salaah regularly, and he is faithful to his wife but internally blind. What does Allah, Most High, say about such a person?


He says in the Holy Qur’aan in the 7th Sura, al-Araaf [The Heights], Verse 179:


Many are the Jinn’s and men We have made for Hell:


Huge numbers are now condemned to the Hell-fire, for they will not survive the awesome challenges of the Last Age they will fail.



Why are they condemned to the Hell-fire?


They have eyes but they cannot see. They have ears but they cannot hear. They have hearts but they cannot understand



They are a people who are internally blind and lacking spiritual mobilization. What does Allah , Most High, say of them? He says:



They are just like cattle No! They are worse than that. They are more misguided than cattle They are truly negligent of Allah , Most High.

For what purpose do we need this internal sight, capacity to hear and understand? In other words, why spirituality? Before we answer that question, I have another story to tell you.



Do you remember Musa ( a.s )? They crossed the Red Sea and are now in Sinai. They couldn’t construct a Masjid so they utilized a tent, called a tabernacle (a portable Jewish place of worship). Musa ( a.s ) delivers a sermon or Khutbah. It was a fine sermon. Someone came to him and said, ‘O Musa! What a fine sermon you delivered, you must be the most learned man in the world.’ What he should have said was, ‘Alhamdulillah !(Praise is due to Allah , Most High,!), What he should have said was it is from Allah , Most High, that knowledge come! What he should have said was: (12th Sura, Yusuf, verse 76):

Above every learned man, is One who is more learned


He should have recognized Allah , Most High, as the source of all knowledge. ’ But he didn’t do that. Harvard University, Princeton, Yale and your local university doesn’t do that. [To teach us] Musa ( a.s ) said, ‘Yes! I am the most learned man in the world.’ He said what the PhD From the university says, ‘Yes! I am the most learned man in the world.’ grin grin


You may read further on the above ^^^ http://www.imranhosein.org/articles/islamic-spirituality/65-ihsaan-the-spiritual-essence-of-islam.html



Now, the reason I do not call myself "sufi" or carry it for head like gala is because of charlatans who have highjacked and deviated and do so many silly things which are far from Kitab and Sunnah. In that case, calling oneself a sufi is stup!idity itself. I repeat again that "SUFI" is english word and white or english men may have their own definition of it. Unfortunately, the name crept into islam. This is why it is very important to know the essence and even stay out of any group or sect. That's the ultimate wisdom. Sufism is already described by Allah and His messenger and no need for english men's definition of it. Therefore, i declare my innocence from any silly things some of them engage in.
IslamRe: The Soofeeyah's Dislike Of Knowledge by Empiree: 7:51pm On Feb 20, 2017
Allah , Most High, says to them [22nd Sura, Verse 46]:

Will they not travel through the earth? So that perhaps, perchance, (by traveling through the earth) their dead hearts might come alive


So that when their hearts come alive they would be able to understand what the intellect, rationality and external observation could not understand. With a heart that comes alive, they will be able to hear what otherwise they could not hear.


Truly, its not these eyes (physical eyes) which are blind. What is blind is the heart, which is inside the chest.


This is Islamic Spirituality. It has unfortunately been given a new term, coined by someone, sometime, somewhere. The term which was coined was Tasawwuf. I wish it had never been coined. My life and task would have been easier, because Tasawwuf and al-Ihsaan mean the same thing. Allah , Most High, delivered this word, al-Ihsaan to us, we should have stayed with this term.


He speaks of it in the Holy Qur’aan in the 29th Sura, al-Ankabuut (The Spider): in Verse69:


And those who strive and struggle (fi’na) to reach Me, We will guide them to the ways and paths through which they can reach Allah, Most High, Surely Allah , Most High, is with those who pursue the struggle of al-Ihsaan


And so the definition of al-Ihsaan: That you should worship Allah , Most High, as though you are seeing Him with your internal eyes
IslamRe: The Soofeeyah's Dislike Of Knowledge by Empiree: 7:45pm On Feb 20, 2017
Do we have any other eyes besides these eyes? The Holy Qur’aan says, ‘Yes! The heart can see’,


Welcome to ‘spirituality’. This is our subject. Do we have any other eyes besides these eyes? Do we have any other means of acquiring knowledge other than through external observation? National University of Singapore says, ‘No! External observation is the only source of knowledge.’ Harvard, Princeton and Yale say the same thing (exactly as our salafis brothers say today). These are the only eyes that we have. These are the only ears that we have. The Holy Qur’aan says, ‘No!’ and it gives a different epistemology from that Godless world out there, which cloaks itself with a mantle of a word called ‘secularism’. I want to take you to Sura Hajj where Allah, Most High, addresses the people who are internally dead, spiritually dead.


Allah, Most High, says to them [22nd Sura, Verse 46]:


Will they not travel through the earth? So that perhaps, perchance, (by traveling through the earth) their dead hearts might come alive


Now with a heart which has come alive they will be able to understand what the intellect could not! What rationality could not! What external observation could not!


When the heart comes alive, it can hear what otherwise could not be heard


Let me interrupt this verse of the Holy Qur’aan to take you to a hadith of the Holy Prophet ( s.a.w ). We will come back to the ayah.


The Jews lived amongst us Muslims for 1300 years when no one else in the world would open the doors for them. In Britain it was prohibited for them to live. They were being persecuted all over the face of the earth. The world of Islam opened the doors for them and they lived amongst us, in security- we guaranteed security of life and property. We recognized their religion. We assisted them in the enforcement of their religious law. This is what we did for 1300 years. After all of that had happened, then said the Holy Prophet ( s.a.w ) , in a hadith cited in Sahih Bukhari, in Sahih Muslim- thus being ‘agreed upon’ -mutafaqun alai . It is thus a strongest possible hadith[1]. He said:


‘You will surely fight the Jews and you will surely kill them (meaning: you will be successful in that fight). At that time the stones will speak. ‘O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me. Come and kill him’


When the stones begin to speak, with which ears will we hear? Will this be the first time that the stones speak? No! The stones spoke to the Holy Prophet Muhammad ( s.a.w ) in his lifetime. They offered ‘salaams’ to him. If we were there would we have heard? No! He was not hearing with these ears. It is when the heart has come alive, has faith in it and submits to the Supreme Authority of Allah , Most High, and not the supreme authority of the state, it is then that the heart can hear. So we know the stones are speaking now. This prophecy of Muhammad e is being fulfilled now. The stones are speaking in the Holy Land. When stones begin to speak, no one can stop them from speaking. At the end of this a Muslim army will destroy the State of Israel; these are the words of the Holy Prophet Muhammad ( s.a.w ). Let us go back to the verse of Sura Hajj:


Courtesy Of Sheik Imran Hussein
IslamRe: The Soofeeyah's Dislike Of Knowledge by Empiree: 7:37pm On Feb 20, 2017
Then he asked, ‘What is Imaan?’ The Holy Prophet Muhammad ( s.a.w ) replied that Imaan is that you must have faith. Be it in Allah , Most High,, His messengers, His books, His angels and the Last Day. But in the Holy Qur’aan, Allah , Most High, had taught us that the dwellers of the desert, the Bedouin, they declared a bit to quickly (49th Sura, al-Hujeraat in verse 14):


We have faith!



Allah , Most High, responded:



Say to them, ‘Most certainly you don’t have imaan.’


“You should rather confine yourself to say, ‘We have entered into Islam!’


‘For as yet, Imaan has not entered into your hearts’


So the answer to question one is located on the lips, and then it has to be lived. Question two the answer is that Islam must travel from the lips and must enter into the heart as its location. What happens when faith enters into the heart?



Question three is, ‘What is al-Ihsaan?’ Is there something after Imaan?



The Holy Prophet Muhammad ( s.a.w ) replies and says, ‘Ihsaan is: An tahbudallaha ka annaka tara

That you should worship Allah , Most High,: That you should live for Allah , Most High, as though you are seeing Him


But can we see Allah , Most High,? When Musa ( a.s ), the Prophet Moses ( a.s ), was on the mountain, Mount Sinai, he spoke and he said to Allah , Most High,:



[the 7th Sura, al-Araaf, Verse 143]:



Show me Your face, I want to see You (with these eyes - physical eyes)


Allah , Most High, responded and said: Not possible! You can’t see Me! Not with these eyes!


Then what does it mean that, you should worship Allah , Most High,, as though you are seeing Him?


The companions of the Holy Prophet ( s.a.w ) they asked, ‘O Messenger! Will we be able to see Allah , Most High, on the last day, the Last Day?’ He responded and he asked, ‘Do you have any difficulty in seeing the sun when it is mid-day?’ They said, ‘No problem we can see it.’ He asked, ‘Do you have any difficulty in seeing the moon when it is full moon?’ They said, ‘No!’ He said, ‘that’s how you are going to see your Lord on the Last Day.’


Allah , Most High, says, ‘You can’t see Me’ and the Holy Prophet ( s.a.w ) says, ‘you will see Him’?. What is the explanation? Now we can understand that there is no contradiction here. The meaning is, ‘You can’t see Me with these (physical) eyes.’
IslamRe: The Soofeeyah's Dislike Of Knowledge by Empiree: 7:24pm On Feb 20, 2017
These dramatic moments were unforgettable. Then the stranger began to question the Holy Prophet Muhammad ( s.a.w ). He is questioning the Holy Prophet Muhammad ( s.a.w ) about the deen! Who is this man and where did he get this authority to question the Holy Prophet Muhammad ( s.a.w ) from? The Holy Prophet Muhammad ( s.a.w ) submits to the questioning. This was strange and even stranger was the response of the stranger. On receiving the answers from the Holy Prophet Muhammad ( s.a.w ) he responds like a headmaster or a principal saying that the answer is correct. At the end of the five questions and answers, he got up as unceremoniously as he had come and he left. None of the companions would ever forget that day. The companions asked the Holy Prophet ( s.a.w ) as to whom the stranger was? The Holy Prophet ( s.a.w ) said that it was the angel, Gabriel ( a.s ) who had come as a human being.

He had appeared as a human being before Maryam ( a.s ) but no one else could see him. He had told her that she would give birth to a baby boy. She said, ‘How can I have a baby boy, when no man has ever touched me?’ On this occasion everybody could see him. Why did Allah , Most High, do this? There must be a very important reason that He sent this angel in such a dramatic and unforgettable way. There must be something tremendously important in these five questions and five answers.



Since this visit came at the last stage of the life of the Holy Prophet Muhammad ( s.a.w ) perhaps it also implies that in this is guidance for us concerning the awesome challenges of the last age, The Age of Dajjal.


Questions The Angel Asked The Prophet (SAW)



Question One! What is Islam?

Question Two! What is Imaan?

Question Three! What is al-Ihsaan?

Question Four! When will the Last Hour come?

Question Five! What are the signs of the Last Hour?



Had question one been posed while we were still in Makkah, before the Hijra, the answer would have been, ‘Islam is the declaration that there is no God, but Allah , Most High, and Muhammad ( s.a.w ) is His Messenger’. But the question is posed now after revelation had come down establishing the fast of Ramadan; the system of Zakaah as a compulsory tax which is collected by the state, since it is not a voluntary tax; after the liberation of Makkah; and after the Holy Prophet Muhammad ( s.a.w ) had performed the hajj. So the answer is, ‘Islam is the declaration that there is no God, but Allah , Most High, and Muhammad ( s.a.w ) is His Messenger; performance of salaah – if I neglect my salaah I am not a Muslim. Allah , Most High, says in the 3rd Sura, al-i-Imraan in verse 102:


Fear Allah , Most High, as He should be feared, and die not except as a Muslim




Do not die except in a state of submission to the supreme authority of Allah, Most High. Not the supreme authority of the state. Islam is that you must fast in the month of Ramadan, so if I don’t fast in the month of Ramadan, and I don’t have a proper excuse for it then I am not a Muslim. Islam is that I must pay the Zakaah when the state is established to collect the Zakaah. Which state is authorized to collect the zakaah? The state over which amir-ul-mumineen presides! That state is authorized to collect and pay the zakaah. Islam is that I must perform the hajj if I have the means to do so. In order to have the means, I must be free of debt which I have not the means to repay. This was the answer to question one.
IslamRe: The Soofeeyah's Dislike Of Knowledge by Empiree: 7:19pm On Feb 20, 2017
Sura, al-Nahl, Sura 16 entitled, ‘The Bee’ and Allah , Most High, declares, ‘And we sent down the book, the Qur’aan, which came down after the Torah, after the Gospel, on thee, O Muhammad ( s.a.w ), that this Qur’aan might explain all things; that this Qur’aan therefore might explain the Last Age, and that with this Qur’aan we may be able to understand the Signs Of Allah , Most High, big as billboards; which will appear in the Last Age. In this Qur’aan there is guidance, how to live at all times, but in particular, in the Last Age. That explanation and guidance constitute rahmah (mercy) from your Lord. For those who have the good sense and wisdom to accept it, embrace it and apply it- bushra la hum (good news, glad tidings) for such people. They will understand what others cannot. They will succeed when others will not.


Ihsaan



It is within these 81 days, shortly before the death of the Holy Prophet Muhammad ( s.a.w ) that he ( s.a.w ) was sitting in the Masjid.

The companions report that they were sitting with him, when something strange, mysterious, dramatic and unforgettable happened. A stranger entered into the Masjid. He was dressed all in white and his hair was black. No one knew him, so he could not have been from Madinah. He had to be a stranger from outside. Travel in those days was by camel or horse through the desert. If one had traveled, one would have sand in ones hair, clothing, and beard and all over ones person. This stranger had no dust upon him sop this was baffling. He is not a resident and there is no evidence that he had traveled, who is he? The stranger walks into the Masjid. This is at a time when Islam had already conquered Arabia and the Holy Prophet Muhammad ( s.a.w ) is the head of state of the whole of Arabia. Sop one would expect even more security than there was before to protect him from those wanting to harm him. This stranger walks through the gathering and goes directly to the Holy Prophet ( s.a.w ). It was strange that nobody stopped him. He then sits down so close in front of the Holy Prophet ( s.a.w ) that his knees touch the knees of the Holy Prophet ( s.a.w ). He was within range to inflict harm, if that was his intention. This was a breach of security so why did none of the companions attempt to stop him? They were all immobilized.

So This is Not ABout Adding to religion as some heretics have said or viewed on Islam. It is personal matter. Below are 3 responses to the article.


Maria al-Qibtiyya said:

One may possess the ability of kashaf and ilham but it’s not necessary that we would have to believe in such things as are proven through someone’s (e.g saint’s) kashaf and ilham, right? Because its his own personal experience, we are not forced to believe in it; Deen is already complete and one can’t add or subtract anything from deen, right?


reply to that ^ by Omiq

I guess its not about adding or subtracting, but as the names of Kashf (unveiling) and Ilham (inspiration) are translated, it is more about understanding, being connected and spiritually inspired by the Deen



And final comment by ibrahim itace muhammed


you definitely examplified that obnoxious wahhabi heretic views on islam.if the quran or hadith says sth is acceptable whoever denies it is a kafir. allah says in the quran “wattaqullah wa yuallimukumullah( fear allah ,he will give you knowledge)”.the question is ,knowledge of what?it means kashf or ilham about unsen as prophet muhammad stated citing umar as an example.the only qualification is that such knowledge of the unseen given to a waliyi is lower than muujiza of prophets, which is pefect. karama of aulia is derivative from the original, ie muujiza. so, denying possibility of aulia to have kashaf or ilham on the unseen is denying what allah and prophet have confirmed.

note such knowledge obtained through kashaf or ilham is never a fresh message from allah to that waliyi.it is the elucidation and amplication of the original message given to the prophets. that is why any vision in the form of kashaf or ilham is subject to quran and sunnah,ie it cannot contradict them.that is why it is you definitely examplified that obnoxious wahhabi heretic views on islam.if the quran or hadith says sth is acceptable whoever denies it is a kafir. allah says in the quran “wattaqullah wa yuallimukumullah( fear allah ,he will give you knowledge)”.the question is ,knowledge of what?it means kashf or ilham about unsen as prophet muhammad stated citing umar as an example.the only qualification is that such knowledge of the unseen given to a waliyi is lower than muujiza of prophets, which is pefect. karama of aulia is derivative from the original, ie muujiza.

IslamRe: The Soofeeyah's Dislike Of Knowledge by Empiree: 6:40pm On Feb 20, 2017
From the Salafus saleh


Malik said, “Wisdom and knowledge are a light by which Allah guides whomever He pleases, it does not consist in knowing many things.”


“Knowledge does not consist in narrating much, knowledge is but a light which Allah places in the heart.”
(Tafsir Ibn Kathir 3:555)



The great Tabi’i Thabit al Bunani used to pray, “Oh Allah! If You would give anyone the honor of making salat in his gave then give me that honor.” Later on the day of his death, Jubair (another Tabi’i) said, “I swear by Allah Who created me, I put Thabit al Bunani in his grave that day when we buried him and with me was a person named Humaid at Taweel, and when we had finished putting the stones on the grave one of them fell down and I saw Thabit making salat in his grave.” (Recorded by Ibn Abi Shayba (8:317), Bayhaqi (Shu’ab 3;155 #3189) Imam Ahmad in Kitab Zudh – Dhahabi Siyar (5:222)(It is graded sahih)

(Note: This is an interesting narration. for a number of reason. 1) The Tabieen is able to see the dead. 2) The dead is making salat.)


And I want to end it with, something from Ibn Rajab al Hanbali


Wasibah Ibn Mabab said, I came to the Messenger of Allah and he said, You come to ask about birr?’ I said, “Yes.” He sallahu alayhi wa salam said, “Ask your heart for a judgment.” (Hasan hadith Musand Ahmad)


In a commentary of this hadith comments on Ilham, “As for referring back to ambiguous matters back to (see whether they cause) impression on the heart, prophetic texts (hadith) and fatwas of the Companions show that, so how would Imam Ahmad reject it after that?” (The Compendium of Knowledge and Wisdom – Ibn Rajab al Hanbali)

Hadith


The Prophet, sallahu alayhi wa salam said, “He for whom Allah desires immense good, He grants him (yafaqqihhu/yufqihhu fil din) superlative understanding in the Religion. I only distribute (ie Quran and Sunnah) and it is Allah who gives (ie understanding and wisdom from Him).” (Bukhari and Muslim)


The Prophet, sallahu alayhi wa salam said, “Beware of inner vision (firasa) of the believer for he sees with the light of Allah.” (Tirmidhi-Sahih authenticated by al Haytami)

The Prophet, sallahu alayhi wa salam said, “Whoever sees me in a dream has truly seen me, for Shaytaan cannot take on my form, and the believer’s dream vision (ru’ya) is one part of 46 of Prophecy. (Bukhar and Muslim)

The Prophet, sallahu alayhi wa salam said, ‘When the Hour draws near, almost no dream vision of the believer will be false. The believer’s dream vision is one part of 46 of Prophecy and Prophecy never lies.” (Bukhari)

The basis for Kashf and Ilham in the Quran and Sunnah



Quran

Allah says, So have fear of Allah; and Allah will teach you. (2:282)

Allah says, “He gives wisdom to whomever He will and whoever receives wisdom receives immense good.” (2:269)

Allah says, “Therein lies portents for those who read the signs.” (15:75)

Allah says, “Then found they one of Our Slaves, unto whom We had given mercy from Us, and hand taught him knowledge from Our presence. (18:65)


(NOTE: Al Khidr is regarded as a non-prophet by many scholars including Ibn Taymiyyah, who said, The majority hold that he (al khidr) was not a prophet (al Majmu al Fatawa 4:338)(Al Baghawi stated in his tafsir: (He (Allah) taught him inward (batin) knowledge by inspiration-ilham).


This Refutes Those Who Deny Knowledge Internally Received



Allah says, “..For surely the eyes do not go blind, but it is the hearts which are in the breasts that go blind.” (22:46)


(NOTE: Basar: refers to physical eyes and basira refers to spiritual eyes, one of the companions Khalid ibn Madan said, Every slave has two eyes in his face by which he sees this world and two eyes in his heart by which he sees the next world. So if Allah desires good for His slave, He opens the two eyes of his heart and he sees what is promised him in the unseen, and they (those eyes) are from the unseen. (Tabari- graded hasan’)


Allah says, “…I call to Allah with spiritual insight (basira), I and those who follow me…” (12:108)

Speaking About Kashf (unveiling) and Ilham (inspirition) in the Quran and Sunnah


Someone asked, “Back to the original topic, some sufis who make it a point to apply shariah to their lives seem to imply that the science of tasawuf is based in the Quran and sunnah, but the tariqahs aren’t really based off of that, they are more based of kashf, isn’t it? So how does that tie together Islamically?”


Excellent question:

Sufism is divided into three parts, ilm (knowledge –practical knowledge), amal (adoring knowledge with action) and hal (spiritual states – the results of spiritual practices, also called the fruits of the path). You asked about the later, hal spiritual states, in particular, kashf or ilham (Unveiling or inspiration), but this also includes other spiritual states, such as increased love for Allah, experiencing Allah’s Divine Love, (this the ultimate aim of the spiritual path –tariqa), and then the secondary states, kashf (spiritual unveiling), Ilham (spiritual inspiration), and miracles.


To kashf, (spiritual unveiling) and ilham (spiritual inspiration).


In short this is direct knowledge from Allah. However there is a distinction between a prophet and a saint (wali), in that a prophet, receives (wahy) revelation from Allah, accompanied by a ruh (spirit) from Allah. Ilham (inspiration) from Allah is accompanied by sakina (tranquility) from Allah. The difference being, Wahy (revelation) is always clear and correct, while ilham (inspiration) may be fractured (unclear) and incomplete (especially in the beginning), which is why Shaykh Abu Hasan Ash Shadhili said, “If your spiritual unveilings contradicts the Book and the Sunna, act upon the book and the sunna and leave off your unveiling and say to yourself, ‘Allah guaranteed infallibility in the Book and the Sunna and has not guaranteed that in spiritual unveiling and inspiration.’”

Trans-Saharan Slave Trade and Racism in the Arab World

"the Negro nations are, as a rule, submissive to slavery, because [Negroes] have little [that is essentially] human and have attributes that are quite similar to those of dumb animals, as we have stated

there is no denying their race card EXACTLY just like white people. Islam only subdued them. And of course not all of them.
