You share an image of some wisdom and somehow you are promoting "Buddhism".

We follow exactly what Allah says in the Quran.

And we are happy for a dialogue in guiding us back to the Straight Path if we have got anything wrong from the Clear Verses in the Clear Quran.

We keep saying this but nobody ever helps us get guided back to their way and their forefather's way of religion.

We most certainly do reject:
- Islamic Hadith
- Christian Hadith
- Buddhist Hadith
... or any other lahw al-hadith that Allah repeatedly reminds us NOT to have eemaan in.

Allah tells us to only have eemaan in Ahsan Al-Hadith.
Words from Allah sent down and downloaded from the Heavens Above us.

Not the Heavens Above us in one part of the world, but down under in another part of their spinning sphere that goes around the sun.
Astagfirullah!!
Despite Allah telling us clearly that the sun and moon equally circuit a still, settled, stationary, anchored earth.

I've written an entire book defending the Words of Allah from Satan-worshippers of Science and Lahw-al Hadith.
This book is defending us and our future children from completely losing their eemaan.
This book is defending us from Satan's soldiers who have most of you in their grip without you having a single clue.


And for the record:

- We are not Hadith Rejectors: we believe in the Hadith Allah told us to believe.

- We are not Flat Earthers: that is a controlled psy-op designed to ridicule any independent intelligent scientific enquiry that contradicts Heliocentrism (sun-worship) and NASA-going-to-the-Moon-science.

- We are not Sheikh Imran Hosein worshippers: It has been more than 2 years since the last Sheikh Imran Hosein interview. And we respectfully parted ways and were guided to more truth alhamdulillah. How can Sheikh Imran Hosein worshippers destroy the entire field of Eschatology. They must really worship the man.

- Perennialism: there are most certainly commonalities and similarities amongst the religions of the world - and that is why we need the Quran to point out the deceptions of the plotters and planners, the soldiers of Iblees (not Dajjal), that is why we need the Quran to destroy falsehood.

All we ask of people is to get their facts right. And correct us where we are wrong. This empty slander/accusation was the exact fuel I needed to shake me from my own slumber.
I thank you for that much at least.

I have heard Sam Gerrans say that Salah is "duty". At first, I thought this was not quite right, because I think the word "birr" that is closely connected to "barri" (land) might be closer to meaning "duty" - as in "our duty upon the land"... but regardless of the exact meaning, I am beginning to see why he said what he said.

"Duty" makes way more sense than "prayer".
It is not our prayer that purifies us.
Prayer is a necessary component.
But it is our duty (salaah) that purifies (zakaah) us.

I have not seen his latest video, but strangely enough, as I'm writing this, I find he has another video on this:

Your phone is a BLACK MIRROR.

Grappling with this technology that is fighting for our attention is becoming a bigger task in holding onto our human nature. Outside of the fake superficial interactions in the "real" world, like many of you, I prefer to read, or write, or when on a journey, listen. If you do get a chance, I recommend the following conversation that I finally remembered to finish.

Genuine servants of Allah seeking ways to strengthen their connection to Allah through beneficial services that are the good deeds that purify (zakaah) us, getting us closer to that eternal success.

Salaah and Zakaah.

Speaking of which, another video I remembered to come back to and finished last night.
(I like to listen carefully and study Br Negeto's work).

Br Igor has also made great strides in excelling our understanding in two key obstacles for the hadithans struggling to be loyal to the Quran:
- Makkah
- Salaah

(Search or scroll above)

It's got nothing to do with EndGame Islam, Sola Qur'ana, Eyes Wide Open, Haneefan, nor any of the hundreds of YouTube channels studying and following the Qur'an using the Qur'an alone to explain itself.

It should be clear by now that Salaah in the Quran is quite simply something very different to what we see in Saudi Arabia or from what we are taught and trained with from a young age, or from conversion/reversion.

And here are some words that might help you see what the word "Salaah" is closely connected to:

Sam Gerrans was right when he said the Salaah is very close to the Deen.

Replace the words "religion" and "pray" with "Deen" (contract) and "Salaah" (duty/service).

This surah is showing us key attributes of the correct and the incorrect.
