Was wäre wenn der Rebell Arminius im Teutoburger Wald eine lateinisch-germanische Spaltung herbeigeführt, einen negativen Nationalismus hervorgerufen und Kaiser Augustus Versuch, Europa zu vereinen, gehindert hätte? - hätte Charles Martel, der Prinz der Franken, eine einheitliche Verkehrssprache eingeführt und einen positiven Nationalismus hervorgerufen, als er Abd ar-Rahman al-Ghafiqi in der Arena der Shuhada in Aquitanien besiegte, und so die Bemühungen des Khalifs Hisham um die Vereinigung Europas hinderte? Und was wäre, wenn - nach Cannae – BaalBlitz, der Aristo-Beduine, nach Rom marschiert wäre ...? Was wäre wenn Adolfus nach der uberraschenden Eroberung Frankreichs sofort nach Britannien gesegelt hätte? Was wäre, wenn Jengis Khan in Indien eingefallen wäre?

Wie er, Allah segne ihm und gebe ihm Heil, gesagt hat‚ "Sag nicht 'Was wäre' weil es die Tür zu Shaytan öffnet".

Ciertamente peligrosa para los muertos de corazón, que desconocen el poder del madhloum sobre los dhaalim, es la reducción del deen a dua.

El dhaalim es el oscuro e injusto, el madhloum el receptor; por reducción se indica la creación de una religión desde el deen, y por dua, todo lo que queda al madhloum

The dhaalim is the dark and unjust, the madhloum the receptor; by reduction is indicated the creation of a religion from the deen, and by dua, all that is left the madhloum.

Dangerous indeed for the dead of heart, unaware of the power of the madhloum over the dhaalim, is their reduction of the deen to dua:

ou de personne à personne, sans intermédiaire, ou poison à double dose

From Myrdun:

In the morning we had a lot to do: the master had to repair his glasses, and then we went on the hunt for currency. The master claimed that ethological studies and in particular a precise knowledge of the nature of tabus was indispensable in order to find this money over which the Dragon State watched so jealously. Indeed I was astounded at his erudition for after he had walked haphazardly through bank offices and exchange bureaus and had managed to have several audiences with people who were obviously not interested in the matter, then an official who had already closed his counter abruptly paid us each a sum of Norwegian krone. The whole thing fitted less into the domain of finances than in that of sleepwalking. However since the time I had seen our friend penetrate - always with the same smile - into the enclosure of the nunnery of Via de l‘Oro or go to a lecture in Leipzig in his slippers, this no longer surprised me: he had long been a vigorous examplar against the absolute, unrestrained legal force of the economic world, irrespective of whether he put his last five Mark banknote as a bookmarker into a trashy novel which he then gave back to the library or he went travelling without any money in his pocket but then came back with money; with respect to the tranquility and superiority of the person who has no penny in his pocket I learnt much from him.  

From the sleep-walking to the wakefulness:

Yahya related to me from Imam Malik that he had heard that Abdallah bin Mas’oud used to say, ‘Whoever lends someone something should not stipulate that anything extra be paid back – even if so little as a handful of fodder. ‘

وحدثني مالك انه بلغه أن عبد الله بن مسعود كان يقول من أسلف سلفا فلا يشترط أفضل منه وإن كانتقبضة من علف

la morale de l'histoire:

Ce qui a été raconté concernant le taqwa – du Muwatta d’Imam Malik.

Anas bin Malik a dit: ‘J’étais sorti avec ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab’ jusqu’à un verger dans lequel il est entré, et je l’ai entendu se dire – il y avait un mur entre nous alors qu’il avait penetré jusqu’au milieu du jardin, ”Umar ibn al-Khattab, Amir des Muminun, Bravo! Bravo! par Allah, O Ibn al-Khattab, soyez sûr d’avoir du taqwa d’Allah de peur qu’Il ne vous punisse.’

From Imam malik, may Allah be pleased with him, in his Muwatta: ‘al-Qaasim bin Muhammad used to say, “I met a group of people [i.e. the Companions] who were not impressed by words”‘. Malik said, ‘What he is referring to is action: they do not look at what a person says but rather what he does.’

Et même Faust voyait la primauté de l’acte sur le logos:

Mir hilft der Geist! Auf einmal seh’ ich Rat und schreibe getrost: Im Anfang war die Tat!

L’esprit m’aide ! Soudain, je vois des conseils et écris avec assurance : Au commencement était l’acte !

Strange contemporary Mutazilites cannot admit of His breaking the very rules of logic and ever-recurring laws of nature and of the skies which He has created for the ongoing well-being of mankind – that is the order, patterning and customary practice dear to the fitra of the middlemost human creature which is inherent in life itself. Long live the Ash’aris!

And O for the return of holydays, far from the flippancy of singles-, kids- and womens’-days and the oncreep of the kobalds of halaween over that churchy-scourge luther.

From the intimate eye to eye nose-greeting welcome of the Bedouin or the hongi of the Maoris – no chance of missing a piercing glance into the heart of the man’s matter – to the handshake of salutation, acknowledgement, and trade, to the mutual nodding or elbowing of separation. How long before the distant wave? Towns of Lowry’s men and women. Es lebe die Intimität!

Or: ‘Novel’s Commencement: Hayy ibn Yaqdhan‘; or ‘News from Italy’; or ‘The Romance of the Cave’.

Comfort for the Paranoid: with little discrimation left in humanistic circles the flood of data is rendered meaningless.

While the Shifa’ of Qadi ‘Iyad is all you need for a return to furqan, once you have it, once fitra is recovered, then action on the auto-pilot of natural behaviour is imperative, the ‘amal of the people of Madina in the Muwatta’ or of those of the Cave.

‘Whole societies have passed away before your time, so travel about the earth and see the final fate of the deniers’ The Family of ‘Imran: 137.

De loin en loin, quelques personnages à turban passaient en longeant les murs, et aucune tête de femme ne se montrait derrière les grillages discrets des haramlikes… L’or etait un moyen de m’attacher ce va-nu-pieds, mais j’en avais peu… Puisse Allah accorder longue vie au Sultan Abd-ul-Hamid, qui fait revivre les grandes fêtes religieuses, les grandes solennités de l’islam ; Stamboul illuminé chaque soir, le Bosphore éclairé aux feux de Bengale, les dernières lueurs de l’Orient qui s’en va, une féerie à grand spectacle que sans doute on ne reverra plus… ‘Vive le Sultan!… vive la constitution… vive la guerre…’ enivrés de se croire libres… et, seuls, quelques vieux Turcs qui se souvenaient du passé haussaient les épaules…

La Scène:

In short, the turbans, women in Freiheit, gold and Sultaniyya [albeit mit constitution auf der Lauer], veiled degeneracy plus a mélange of kabaa’ir cum finesse of Loti, buried a stone’s throw from Abu Ayub and Ahmet Necib Fazil Kisakürek radiAllah ‘anhuma. Less than a century and a half ago. Progress in five generations: to the Rémy Martin on pavement display and glittering, volatile exchange boards, manifestly free assorted Dirndl and official loud-speaker religion sans deen, sans teeth…

King Con Korona test required in Istanbul by German authorities but not recognised on arrival in Berlin; further KCK test [far from the slick, high tech. one of Havalimani IST – test result in hours] in a military camp at Tegel, not recognised on the Baltic coast, and anyway so low-tech [no internet, test results in 3 days] as to be of no benefit. Fast-changing laws keep the officials in ignorance and some, mostly women, on their toes. A further test in five days. Kaaos at the Local Health Authorities: each official in each country in each state knew his little bit of info. – the whole puzzlepic. too boring to imagine; and in the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education for each has its own KCK parameters which may conflict, and KCK quarentine times for risk area Bavaria are shorter than risk area Turkey for example, despite having a lower case rate; even the Bild-Zeitung is not exagerrating this time, and starwar drive-ins with hazmat-suited robotic medics make for schöne Fotos. Pharma-Phirdaus cum mafia cum mathematical profits, the latest magic which can only really be warded of by spitting over the left shoulder, as before the staging of Macbeth. Vive the unpious Shaykhs striving with taqwa, and may the grandest of them be read.

Unhinged from all celestial directives the modus vivendi of current folk is reduced to drawing its vitality from the semi-official state organ, as Pravda might say, of Germany’s Mirror which is nothing else but what the Quran indicates as the outpouring of the nafs, i.e. the seething coagulation of the desires and whims of the lower self, the lowest common denominater, which changes, nay, has the right to change, from moment to moment, day to day: it sets the tone, asks the questions and promulgates the new draft laws. You will pay the penalty for not wearing a watch: if you are not careful, its timetable will change impetuously; pay the penalty for not being au fait with the latest media pronouncements; for missing the continual updating of the law-book. This weekly Ode to the State must be balanced with its own Requiem, reflected in song in the degeneration of its readers for:

It does not urge to sprightliness in the salat, dignity in comportment or Blitzschnelligkeit in action after a moment’s pause for reflection.

‘If We Had sent down this Qur’an onto a mountain, you would have seen it humbled, crushed to pieces out of fear of Allah. We make such examples for people so that hopefully they will reflect.’ The Gathering: 21

It is narrated that the father of Imam Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, married a woman and when he entered her marriage room he discovered she was black. He remained in thought and did not approach her. She then said to him, “Did you make istikhaara of Allah?” to which he replied, “Yes”. She then said, “Do you have any doubts as to your Lord?” – then he had sexual intercourse with her and she became pregnant with Imam Malik.

The Imam of Dar al-Hijra’s mother was black, Quran is a mainstream, the Mirror is an ooze.

And was it not MH who said that if thinking does not lead to pravda then it is not thinking?

She of Chiaravalle introduced “cosmic education” to describe an approach for children that emphasized the interdependence of all the elements of the natural world; she encouraged children’s spontaneous activity with plants and animals in their natural environments – preferably in the open air; e dio non era assente.

But meanwhile in the 30 – plus one, mark you! – degrees of the Baltic version, structures and policy prevented the migration from the upper, too-sunlit rooms to the cooling shade of the chestnut trees in the yard below; schulfrei was the cry.
