Feminist Revolution

The second sign: ‘You will see the slave woman giving birth to her mistress.’ How can the slave woman give birth to her mistress? In order to understand this sign and the first you have to have internal vision complimenting external vision. 

Imagine all of mankind aboard a ship. Because of Riba, one part of mankind is traveling First Class, with permanent First Class Tickets. That’s what riba does. When an economy is based on riba, the rich will remain permanently rich and the poor will be imprisoned in permanent poverty. Wealth will no longer circulate through the economy. That’s the world today with their capitalist economy. The rich are now permanently rich and growing richer. The poor are now permanently poor and growing poorer and the number of poor is constantly expanding. This is riba.

One form of Riba is borrowing and lending money on interest. Allah, Most High, made it haraam; the Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ta‘alah ‘alaihi wa Sallam) cursed all four and said they were all equally guilty. The one who takes riba - put money in fixed deposit, get interest. The one who gives riba- borrows on interest, for car, house college education or hajj and pays back interest on that loan. The one who records the transaction and the two witnesses. 

So all of mankind is aboard this ship and a small minority- 10 to 15 % of mankind travel first class in unprecedented luxury - clean drinking water; the best medical care that money can buy. Medical Care in the Last Age looks like, ‘If he didn’t take it in that hospital, he would have been dead.’ The rest of mankind are down there in the hold; suffering, in squalor, miserable existence, drinking polluted water, eating food laced with chemicals from genetically re-engineered seeds, drinking milk and eating meat laced with hormones. So this woman is down there in the hold. She is for all intents and purposes a slave woman. That is the woman the Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ta‘alah ‘alaihi wa Sallam) speaks about. My mother, my sister, my daughter is down there in the hold. He said that the Age of Dajjal would be the age of riba.

1. Dajjal has already liberated the Land from Muslim Rule in 1919.
2. Dajjal has already taken the Jews back to the Land.
3. The State of Israel has been restored

All that Dajjal has to deliver now is number four.

1. The State of Israel has to become the Ruling State in the World

Like the time of Solomon or Hazrath Sulaiman (‘alaihi al-Salam). In order to achieve that status it has to have control of the economy and money around the world. This is what Riba is delivering. There is no time for a lecture on International Monetary Economics and what is going to happen to the US Dollar and the whole world of paper money tomorrow. All I can tell you is that you would be using it for wallpaper.  

When that crash comes and the international monetary system crashes it will fulfill the Prophecy of Muhammad (sallalahu ta‘alah ‘alaihi wa Sallam) who said that,  

‘That day will come when nothing will be of value as money, except the Dinar and the Dirham.’

He wasn’t talking of the Dinar made of paper, but real money. My opinion; not more than five to ten years from now!

So that woman is down there in the hold of the ship. Something strange is happening to those woman in first class. A strange new philosophy of feminism is taking control of them. Allah, Most High, teaches this in Sura al-Layl. He says: [The 92^nd Surah, al-Layl [The Night], verses 1-3] 
 

He takes an oath by the night and that which it shrouds and covers so mysteriously, so beautifully

He takes an oath by the day and its bright powerful light

That, in the same way that Allah, Most High, created the male and the female so to, did He create the night and the day.

The day has its functions to perform and the night has its functions to perform. When the day is day and the night is night, then the night and day is attracted to each other. Intense attraction! When the day is approaching the night you can see the intense attraction in the painted sunset in the sky. After the day has spent the evening with the night and it is time to say goodbye to her, you notice that the night doesn’t want the day to leave. So, only one ray of light comes out at the time. The night is holding on to the day. This is the intense attraction of the male and the female, when the day is day and the night is night. When the day performs the function of the day and the night performs the function of the night, and in case you didn’t understand that subject Allah, Most High, says in the next verse 

You are functionally different

If you play around with this function of difference, you are going to have a gigantic tragedy on your hands. The Age of Dajjal is the age when the last people to come out with Dajjal would be women and a man would have to return to his home and tie down his wife, sister and daughter to protect and preserve them from Dajjal. What is the heart and substance of the Feminist Revolution? That woman shall not be barred from embracing the functional role of men.  That woman should have the freedom to embrace the functional role of men. So, women are doing everything that man are functionally equipped to do, in the army, navy, air force, police force and in the street building roads. What happens when the night wants to become day?

First of all, women go out to work and then are employed full time outside the house. Not always is the office environment conducive to marital fidelity. When you go out to work, you got to dress and you are admired. There are some men, who have eyes and they see and when they are attracted they fear Allah, Most High, whilst others become sharks. So she gets bitten up there in the office and the divorce takes place.

The Age of the Feminist Revolution is the age of the spectacular increase in the number of divorces. Yes! His and her hearts are broken when a divorce takes place but the ones who suffer the most are the children. Broken hearts and broken homes! There are millions of American children who are like that and the numbers are constantly increasing. What happens to these children? They grow up and embrace violence as an external expression of an internal rage in them. So you get guns in the schools, they embrace drugs as a means of escape from a reality which is too painful for them. Drugs consumed by children, who when they reach the age of puberty, become biologically different. They seek love that they didn’t get at home in the arms of another child. So a fourteen year old girl has already had two abortions.  They call that progress. That is not really the subject of our lecture.

You will find a slave women giving birth to her mistress. As the night attempts to become day, women assume the functional role of men and starts dressing like a man. She even has to talk like a man. She has to behave like a man in the office. In the process, she destroys her own femininity. Allah, Most High, describes femininity in the Qur’an. Musa (‘alaihi al-Salam) is at the well when he fled from Egypt and the two girls were there. They took the water and went home and the father of one of the girls asks her to go invite Musa (‘alaihi al-Salam) for a meal. This girl, who is really the night, Allah, Most High, describes her coming to meet Musa (‘alaihi al-Salam). Allah, Most High, describes her bashfulness - how shy she feels. How she is trailing her clothing behind her being at her wits end because she has to approach a man.

The feminist revolution destroys the femininity of a woman - bashfulness is gone; shyness is gone and modesty disappearing. What happens when women begin to lose their femininity? The day is no longer attracted to the night what will happen? It’s not what will happen but what is already happening. The day will now mate with the day. So homosexuality and lesbianism is the necessary product of the feminist revolution. That has come to many parts of the world and is constantly increasing. But that is not our subject.

A slave women giving birth to her mistress! The slave woman is in the hold of the ship and another woman, who has embraced the feminist revolution, is traveling first class. As the night tries and become day, the night will no longer be truly night. So not only does a woman lose her femininity but she loses her fertility. So she cannot have a baby. Wherever the Feminist Revolution has taken root, fertility rates have declined.  So women go to clinics and spend huge sums of money to try and become pregnant because the womb is no longer fertile. There is a second reason for declining fertility rates, not only the Feminist Revolution and the struggle for women’s liberation but also the environmental pollution.

The environmental pollution impacts upon men. Why are men losing hair and balding? Environmental Pollution! The biological body of a woman is far more fragile than that of man. The impact on her is greater but he also suffers. The Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ta‘alah ‘alaihi wa Sallam) said that one of the signs of the Last Day is that, ‘One man will have to maintain 50 women.’ He didn’t say that one man will have to marry 50 women. Is there some mysterious change taking place in the sperm? Is it the genetically engineered food that we consume? So the number of male children being born declines as genetically reengineered food and environmental pollution increases until eventually one man will have to maintain 50 women. This environmental pollution (dhu’aa or smoke) in the Age of Dajjal is causing climatic change. It is also affecting female fertility.

 So she is traveling first class but she cannot have any babies. The slave woman in the hold of the ship has been to poor to embrace the feminist revolution so her womb is still fertile. The womb will now become a factory. She is impregnated and the baby is a future first class lady that the slave woman will carry to term. For nine months the slave lady will live like a queen, eating good food and drinking clean water. The Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ta‘alah ‘alaihi wa Sallam) speaking 1400 years ago in answer to the angel told us that when the baby is born it goes first class and the mother remains a slave. So a slave woman has given birth to her mistress.   

There is Dajjal at work in Riba, in the feminist revolution and in environmental pollution. These five questions are telling us to embrace Islam and then live it full time with sincerity. The heart must turn to Allah, Most High. When you live Islam fulltime, then one day Allah, Most High, will put nur into your heart. Light! Which is not sold in the stock market?

The heart will now be able to see. This internal spiritual insight and external observation, observing the International Monetary System that spirituality will deliver to you, the understanding of the world in which you live, today, the Last Age. The purpose of Spirituality is not to take a trip to the arsh and return; to perform karamaat (miracles) or supernatural acts. The purpose of spirituality is to deliver an internal capacity to see so that you will be able to read the signs of Allah, Most High,, most of all, in the Last Age.          

Fa illam takun tara

For if you cannot see Him

fa innahu yara

Surely He is seeing you

History of Islamic Spirituality

History of Islamic Spirituality

Let us go back to the verse of Sura Hajj, Allah, Most High, says to them [22^nd Surah, Verse 46]:

Will they not travel through the earth?

So that perhaps, perchance, (by traveling through the earth) their dead hearts might come alive

[Qur’an 22:46] 

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 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 Qur’an in the 29^th Surah, al-Ankabuut (The Spider): in Verse69:

And those who strive and struggle (fitna) 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

[Qur’an 29:69] 

And so the definition of al-Ihsaan:

That you should worship Allah, Most High, as though you are seeing Him with your internal eyes.

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 Qur’an in the 7^th Surah, al-Araaf [The Heights], Verse 179:

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

[Qur’an 7:179] 

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 (‘alaihi al-Salam)? They crossed the Red Sea and are now in Sinai. They couldn’t construct a Masjid so hey utilized a tent, called a tabernacle (a portable Jewish place of worship). Musa (‘alaihi al-Salam) 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: (12^th Surah, Yusuf, verse 76):

Above every learned man, is One who is more learned

[Qur’an 12:76] 

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 (‘alaihi al-Salam) 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.’

Whenever you do that and you secularize knowledge and education. You take Allah, Most High, out of the process of learning. When you do that and don’t recognize Allah, Most High, as the source of all knowledge, then He cuts off your internal sight. So Musa (‘alaihi al-Salam) temporarily is without internal sight. Allah, Most High, then says to him, ‘There is a servant of mine, Hazrath Khidr (‘alaihi al-Salam) more learned than you are, Musa (‘alaihi al-Salam)’ So Musa (‘alaihi al-Salam), says, ‘I would like to meet him.’

The answer is in Surah Kahf. Allah, Most High, gives him instructions to travel in the direction where the two oceans meet- majmaul Bahrain and here he will find him. The commentator of the Qur’an, Imam Badawi has given a beautiful interpretation of this. He says the two oceans are the oceans of ‘knowledge which comes from external observation’ and the oceans of ‘knowledge which comes from internal intuitive, spiritual insight’. When these two oceans of knowledge come together and are integrated in a single individual as they were in my teacher, Maulana Fazlur Rahman Ansari (r.u), his teacher Maulana Abd al-Aleem Siddiqui (r.u), then you get the most learned of all men. That’s the only man, who would read the signs of Allah, Most High, in the Last Age. Harvard can’t do it. This then is the function and purpose of spirituality.

Question Four: When will the last hour come? The Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ta‘alah ‘alaihi wa Sallam) replied and said, ‘The one who is questioned has no more knowledge than the one who is questioning.’ Meaning, this is not a subject that we should be addressing our attention to, because this knowledge resides only with Allah, Most High,. But the Qur’an has something interesting to say about it.  It says that those in whose heart there is no faith, respond differently from those in whose heart there is faith. The one who has faith always thinks that the last hour is close but the one who has no faith always thinks that the last hour is far away. So there is a psychology of religion located in the question and the answer, a profound psychology of religion.

Now we come to question five. What are the signs of the Last Day? Both the signs given in this answer relate to Dajjal. In consequence of which, this visit of Jibraeel (‘alaihi al-Salam), is giving an ominous message to us, that you will not be able to understand Dajjal, the False Messiah; the world in the age of  Dajjal, the False Messiah unless and until you are blessed with internal spiritual insight. Unless you have this thing called spirituality. 

He gave two answers; two signs of the last day. He said that you will find naked, barefooted shepherds [meaning people who have the intellectual acumen of ‘naked, barefooted shepherds’] competing with each other to build tall buildings -to build the best airport in the world - meaning people who have the intellectual acumen of ‘naked, barefooted shepherds’ will now measure progress with high rise buildings. One doesn’t have to have much common sense or knowledge to know that it is false to measure progress by the number of high rise buildings in the skyline.

(Qur’an 49^th Surah, al-Hujeraat, verse 13):

The best of you, the noblest of you, in the sight of Allah, Most High, is he or she who has

the greatest fear of Allah, Most High, in the heart

So a people may be living in bamboo houses, but in their hearts there is the fear of Allah, Most High,. You and your companions, in the tallest building in the world, considering yourself progressive and them backward, having no fear of Allah, Most High, in your heart, according to the yardstick that the Qur’an uses, they in their bamboo houses are superior to you.

A mismanagement of the economy is also involved here. It is a mismanagement of the resources of the society. At the same time that you are building these high rise buildings there are people working for a minimum wage and many at less than minimum wage. What is minimum wage? It is a fig leaf to cover the economic slavery which comes with Riba. The market in Islam is a free and a fair market. No prices are fixed in the market of the Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ta‘alah ‘alaihi wa Sallam).

A man came to the Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ta‘alah ‘alaihi wa Sallam) and said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, Most High,! Prices are too high, fix the prices (institute price control).’ The Prophet (sallalahu ta‘alah ‘alaihi wa Sallam)   said, ‘No!’ The man came back a second time and again said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, Most High,! Prices are too high, fix the prices (institute price control).’ Again the Prophet (sallalahu ta‘alah ‘alaihi wa Sallam)   said, ‘No!’ He came back a third time with the same request and again the Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ta‘alah ‘alaihi wa Sallam) refused.

He said we can pray to Allah, Most High, to bring the prices down for increase in supply would cause prices to go down. So the market in Islam is the market in which there are no fixed prices; not for merchandise, commodities or labour. Price control is imposed today for basic necessities and labour, so that the labourer can get a minimum wage. The minimum wage being paid is less than what the person ought to get; what Allah, Most High, is giving to him with which to maintain yourself and your family. The reply we get is, ‘we cannot afford to pay, for we don’t have the money.’ You have the money to build high rise buildings but you don’t have the money to pay a just wage by removing all price control and allowing a free market to operate. When a free market operates and the labourer goes down into slave wages then the labourer’s eyes will open. This is slavery and then he will revolt against the system. This is the first sign involving Riba.
