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?
