Low G.I. Nutritious meal

For a nutritious meal that's good for your skin anytime of the day, have a Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix that is low GI* tested.




*Low GI (Glycemic Index) is a measurement carried out on carbohydrate-containing foods and their impact on our blood sugar. The glycemic index (GI) is a ranking of carbohydrates on a scale from 0 to 100 according to the extent to which they raise blood sugar levels after eating.
Low GI foods, by virtue of their slow digestion and absorption, produce gradual rises in blood sugar and insulin levels, and have proven benefits for health.

We deplete nature's natural resources by using them up. We deplete man's natural resources by failing to use them.

Rich Vs Poor

The philosophy of the rich versus the poor is this: The rich invest their money and spend what's left; the poor spend their money and invest what's left.

To become financially independent you must turn part of your income into capital; turn capital into enterprise; turn enterprise into profit; turn profit into investment; and turn investment into financial independence.

If you are not financially independent by the time you are forty or fifty, it doesn't mean that you are living in the wrong country or at the wrong time. It simply means that you have the wrong plan.

I used to say. "Things cost too much." Then my teacher straightened me out on that by saying, "The problem isn't that things cost too much. The problem is that you can't afford it." That's when I finally understood that the problem wasn't it - the problem was me!

Motivation Mystery

Motivation is a mystery. Why does one salesperson see his first prospect at seven in the morning and another salesperson is just getting out of bed at eleven? I don't know. It's part of the mysteries of life.

Give a lecture to a thousand people. One walks out and says, "I'm going to change my life." Another one walks out with a yawn and says, "I've heard all this before." Why is that? Why wouldn't both be affected the same way? Another mystery.

The millionaire says to a thousand people, "I read this book and it started me on the road to wealth." Guess how many go out and get the book? Very few. Isn't that incredible? Why wouldn't everyone get the book? A mystery of life.

My suggestion would be to walk away from the 90% who don't and join the 10% who do.

Receiving

Asking is the beginning of receiving. Make sure you don't go to the ocean with a teaspoon. At least take a bucket so the kids won't laugh at you.

If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary.

There is no better opportunity to receive more than to be thankful for what you already have. Thanksgiving opens up the windows of opportunity for ideas to flow your way.

We must risk going too far to discover just how far we can go.

Resolve says, "I will." The man says, "I will climb this mountain. They told me it is too high, too far, too steep, too rocky, and too difficult. But it's my mountain. I will climb it. You will soon see me waving from the top or dead on the side from trying."

Debate

In America we have the greatest chance for opportunity than anyone else in the past six and a half thousand years. Never in recorded history have so many different gifts been brought from all over the world and deposited in one country.

Debate refines a good idea. That's why we have two major parties in Congress. Somebody says, "I have a great idea for the country." We say, "Wonderful. Put it on the table. Let's debate." And we start the debate by questioning the guy who has this great idea. After the third question he says, "I withdraw my great idea. I forgot about those three questions."

Succeeding in America is easy! That's why everyone wants to come here. People haven't plotted and schemed for the last fifty years saying, "If I could just get to Poland everything would be okay."

Tyranny knows no restraint of appetite.

The best legacy

There are three things to leave behind: your photographs, your library, and your personal journals. These things are certainly going to be more valuable to future generations than your furniture!

The word "tip" stands for "to insure promptness." So when should you give it? Up front, of course. Sophisticated people don't take chances on poor service, they insure good service.

Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hand, but not you.

Work on your plan

I find it fascinating that most people plan their vacations with better care than they do their lives. Perhaps that is because escape is easier than change.

If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you. If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you. Whatever good things we build end up building us.

We all need lots of powerful long-range goals to help us past the short-term obstacles.

We must be careful not to let our current appetites steal away any chance we might have for a future feast.

We all have two choices: We can make a living or we can design a life.

Harvest Time

The greatest form of maturity is at harvest time. That is when we must learn how to reap without complaint if the amounts are small and how to reap without apology if the amounts are big.

My goal is to translate response into results. Some teachers teach for others to learn. That's not me. Some teachers teach for others to accomplish. That is me.

Life asks us to make measurable progress in reasonable time. That's why they make those fourth grade chairs so small.

Success is the study of the obvious. Everyone should take Obvious 1 and Obvious 2 in school.

I found it easier to get rich than I did to make excuses.

Nourish the mind

Miss a meal if you have to, but don't miss a book.

The great gift of the human imagination is that it has no limits or ending.

Nourish the mind like you would your body. The mind cannot survive on junk food.

Everything you need for your better future and success has already been written. And guess what? It's all available. All you have to do is go to the library. But guess what? Only three percent of the people in America have a library card. Wow, they must be expensive! No, they're free. Probably in every neighborhood. Three percent!

Ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance is poverty. Ignorance is devastation. Ignorance is tragedy. Ignorance is illness. It all stems from ignorance.

Learning is the beginning of...

Learning is the beginning of wealth. Learning is the beginning of health. Learning is the beginning of spirituality. Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins.

Formal education will make you a living. Self-education will make you a fortune.

We must learn to apply all that we know so that we can attract all that we want.

The book you don't read won't help.

If someone is going down the wrong road, he doesn't need motivation to speed him up. What he needs is education to turn him around.

Some people read so little they have rickets of the mind.

Must and Want

Humans have the remarkable ability to get exactly what they must have. But there is a difference between a "must" and a "want."

The best motivation is self-motivation. The guy says, "I wish someone would come by and turn me on." What if they don't show up? You've got to have a better plan for your life.

When you know what you want, and you want it badly enough, you'll find a way to get it.

Motivation alone is not enough. If you have an idiot and you motivate him, now you have a motivated idiot.

If you wish to find, you must search. Rarely does a good idea interrupt you.

Without a sense of urgency, desire loses its value.


"The Treasury of Quotes" by Jim Rohn.


Life responds to...

Life responds to deserve and not to need. It doesn't say, "If you need you will reap." The guy says, "I really need to reap." Then you really need to plant.

The few who do are the envy of the many who only watch.

Make rest a necessity, not an objective. Only rest long enough to gather strength.

The soil says, "Don't bring me your need. Bring me your seed."

You must learn to translate wisdom and strong feelings into labour.

You must get good at one of two things: planting in the spring or begging in the fall.



"The Treasury of Quotes" by Jim Rohn.

Smiles and laughter

If you cannot find your smiles and laughter, you should count your blessings because Allah gives them to you when you least expects it. Because when he gives, you can't even stop smiling because of all the joy that has filled your heart.

Doctor said it could be because a high protein diet?

"I used Herbalife for about one year since May 2013. I'm a very healthy person. I ended up having kidney stones. Doctor said it could be because a high protein diet. My friend developed kidney stones too and she started drinking Herbalife shakes too at about the same year as me. I don't recommend it." Quote from a Complainer.

I guess the complainer does not know that the product boosts metabolism, which is a healthy way to gain muscle and burn calories. When our metabolism is high, we use a lot of water to burn the calories, being thirsty should be an indicator. If you do not drink enough water, body becomes dehydrated and these problems arise.


Does Herbalife work?

Types of Diabetes

Types of Diabetes


Although there are three main types of diabetes, there is also a stage before diabetes called pre-diabetes. Pre-diabetes, also known as Impaired glucose tolerance is a condition where your Blood sugar level elevates to a level higher than the normal range for most people, but is still low enough not to be considered diabetes.

People who have pre-diabetes are at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later in life if they do not monitor their condition carefully.

People who have been diagnosed with pre-diabetes can help keep from progressing to a full blown diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes by watching their weight, exercising and eating the right foods.
The first main type of diabetes is Type 1 diabetes, an Autoimmune disease where the pancreas produces very little insulin or no insulin at all. People who get Type 1 diabetes are usually under the age of 20, usually presenting itself when the person is a child or young adult.

Some scientists believe that Type 1 diabetes is a genetic condition where the cells of the Pancreas are attacked and then stop functioning. Others feel the disease may be caused by a virus that prompt the immune system to begin attacking the pancreas.

Because the pancreas cells that produce Insulin are destroyed, people who develop Type 1 diabetes will have the disease for life and will need treatment in the form of insulin shots or an insulin pump.

In addition to insulin therapy, exercise and careful attention to diet is necessary to prevent fluctuations of blood sugar.
Type 2 diabetes is normally found in people who are overweight as they get older. Although it is sometimes called adult onset diabetes, in some country, such as the United States, more children and young adults are being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes because they are not getting enough activity.

About 90 percent of all cases of diabetes are Type 2 diabetes. The difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes is that with Type 2 diabetes the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or the body does not properly use the it.

Type 2 diabetes is sometimes considered a lifestyle disease because it is normally triggered by living a fairly sedentary life, being overweight and not participating in exercise. However, age is a factor as well as heredity. If a parent or sibling develops Type 2 diabetes later in life, a person has greater chances to getting Type 2 diabetes as well.
The third main type of diabetes is gestational diabetes, which is a condition that women can get when they are in the second trimester of pregnancy.  About 4 percent of all pregnant women will develop gestational diabetes.  Unlike Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes will disappear after the baby is born.
     
When a woman has an occurrence of gestational diabetes during pregnancy, she is more likely to have it again in the next pregnancy and puts the woman at a higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later in life.  The older a woman is when she is pregnant, the higher the risk of developing gestational diabetes during pregnancy.

PENYAKIT YANG DISEBABKAN OLEH ASID

PENYAKIT YANG DISEBABKAN OLEH ASID


KANSER SEL
Sel dalam keadaan pH berasid akan menyebabkan perubahan tidak normal pada DNA dan boleh menghasilkan sel kanser.

KENCING MANIS
Bahan toksik berasid berkumpul di pankreas menyebabkan fungsinya menjadi lemah dan menghalang penghasilan insulin.

DARAH TINGGI
Toksid berasid dalam badan melekat dan berkumpul di bahagian dinding kapilari darah sehingga saluran darah menjadi sempit dan tersembat. Pengaliran darah melalui kapilari yang sempit ini menyebabkan tekanan darah meningkat.

DARAH RENDAH
Toksid berasid menyerap ion kalsium dalam jantung yang mengakibatkan aktiviti jantung menjadi lemah.

PENYAKIT BUAH PINGGANG
Pengumpulan toksid berasid dalam buah pinggang akan melemahkan fungsi buah pinggang dan mengakibatkan penyakit buah pinggang.

OSTEOPOROSIS
Jika badan kekurangan alkali, tulang akan membekalkan kalsium dan tulang akan menyimpan kalsium jika alkali berlebihan. Namun jika asid terlalu banyak, tulang akan sedikit demi sedikit membekalkan kalsium untuk meneutralkan keadaan berasid dalam badan. Lama kelamaan proses ini akan mengakibatkan osteoporosis.

GOUT
Toksid berasid yang terkumpul di bahagian sendi akan menyebabkan sendi-sendi membengkak dan sakit.

SEMBELIT
Usus besar berasid akan mengakibatkan peredaran darah tidak lancar, dinding usus besar berkurangan rembesan pelincir yang menyebabkan sembelit.

Badan kita mengawal pH sendiri menjaganya agar tetap pada atau sangat dekat dengan 7,365 yang mungkin.Ia sangat baik dan ia akan berbuat demikian pada setiap masa.Terlalu jauh dari 7,365 bermakna ia akan menimbulkan isu-isu kesihatan yang serius dan boleh membawa kepada kematian.
Apabila tubuh mengandungi terlalu banyak keasidan badan berlebihan (EBA), ia memaksa badan untuk meminjam mineral termasuk kalsium, natrium, kalium, dan magnesium daripada organ-organ dan tulang dan penting untuk penampan (meneutralkan) asid dan selamat keluarkan dari badan.
Inilah yang melemahkan sistem anda membuatkan anda lebih mudah dan terdedah kepada keuzuran. Semakin lama dan jumlah asid yang anda terkumpul ke dalam sistem badan, Oleh itu, pH badan anda jatuh dan persekitaran dalaman menjadi lebih dan lebih berasid.

Berita baik adalah jika anda telah mengalami kesan negatif daripada badan yang terlalu berasid, anda boleh mengembalikan kesihatan anda - anda boleh mendapatkan kembali kehidupan sihat anda yang bermula hari ini!

PHILOSOPHY OF 70%..
* The day we pass away, our money will still be in the bank.
* When we are alive, we feel we don't have enough money to spend.
* When we are gone, there is still a lot of money not spent”.
A Chinese tycoon passed away.
He left for his widow $1.9 billion in the bank.
The widow remarried her young Chauffeur.
The Chauffeur said,
"All the while I thought I was working for my boss.
Now only I realize that my boss was all the time working for me!"

So, How to make full use of our 30%.?
• Go for medical checkup even when you feel fit.
• Drink more water even if you’re not thirsty.
• ‘Let go’ your ego, whenever you can.
• ‘Give in’ even if you are ‘right’.
• Be humble even if you are very powerful.
• Be contented even if you are not rich.

Battling the bulge

Obesiti di Malaysia: Battling the bulge
Bismillah.

Berikut adalah copy paste daripada The Malay Mail. Dr Medina, Herbalife Nutrition Advisory Board, berkata untuk Malaysia.

Battling the bulge

Children now at risk of obesity than 30 years ago, says nutrition guru
TUESDAY, JANUARY 28, 2014 - 18:43
by Sonia Belani

“IT is not difficult to find children with obesity problems today as they are not receiving the nutrition that their bodies need,” says a professor of nutrition and obesity, Dr Rocio Medina.

“Compared to the yesteryears, nutrition transition has changed because we used to have a very different lifestyle. We used to be more active, we ate sufficient amount of fruits and vegetables. Now, both adults and kids are eating more fats, sweets and children do not have a healthy lifestyle. They are mostly in front of the TV or computer and they do not exercise like we used to. This transition is reality and it is not good for us,” says Dr Medina, at a Herbalife luncheon.

Malaysia is ranked sixth in the Asia-Pacific region for obesity and tops the list in Southeast Asia for both obesity and diabetes.
According to Deputy Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Hilmi Yahaya, there are about three million obese Malaysians and the number is increasing while there are about five million individuals who suffer from varying degrees of diabetes.

Dr Medina, a mum of seven children and a triathlon competitor, co-founded the Medical College of Surgeons and Professionals in Obesity and Clinical Nutrition at Nuevo León, Mexico, in 2000, among other achievements.

Today, Dr Medina leads Herbalife’s global nutrition training that focuses on worldwide fitness education for its independent distributors. “We have a huge responsibility to uphold because of the increase of nutrition problems around the world,” says the managing director and vice-president of Worldwide Nutrition, Herbalife.

“The statistics in Asia are increasing and people are still ignorant of the obesity problems faced around the world. For example, seven out of 10 people are overweight,” says Dr Medina.

“There are even bigger problems in Asia. Body composition in Asian people is different. People in Asia don’t look obese. They look slim and thin from the outside, but there are still a lot fat tissues around the organs. This is in comparison to people in the US who are obese from the outside.

“According to research, people in Asia have more fat tissues around their organs and have higher risk of diabetes. Obesity is fat tissue covering your organs and it increases insulin in our blood. That is killing people.

“We even see children who are at risk, which we wasn’t the case 30 years ago. It is not just a matter of weight, body measurement with a scale but it is a matter of body composition, what’s inside your body, not just how you look.

“‘Healthy fat people’ are also in denial as that term does not exist. It is time we start having a healthy lifestyle and exercise is important. If you do not have much time, spare at least 30 minutes to walk, jog, swim and other activities. “Economy also plays a role.

People can have a value meal at a fast food outlet and that is what drives them to eat unhealthy food.

“I believe if we educate ourselves and our kids, we can lead a better future. The change has to start in-depth, starting with our families,” stresses Dr Medina.

“I have seen education in communities that has helped in changing people to having a balanced and healthier lifestyle.

It is not impossible. “The first step is to realise what we want for our lives in the future.
Make a decision to have good nutrition, good body composition and you do not want to be sick.

“Write it down as it is a commitment for yourself. It is not easy to eat healthy these days and it is not cheap as well. Having tools and supplements will help.”

TAMAT ARTIKEL.



Kalau perasan, Herbalife fokus kepada:



1) Educate masyarakat tentang nutrisi, kepentingan menjaga pemakanan. EDUCATION yang akan mengubah masa depan. Kalau mungkin tok nenek hari ini tak boleh nak give up nasi lemak sebab dah biasa sangat, tapi generasi muda BOLEH BERUBAH. That's why Herbalife keep on educating everyone especially the GenH.



2) Provide produk yang boleh melengkapkan nutrisi harian masyarakat.



3) Educate masyarakat tentang kepentingan bersenam dan cara asas bersenam for dummies (tapi benda ni belum meluas sampai ke Malaysia lagi sebab di Malaysia kita masih sibuk fighting obesity dengan pemakanan)



Aku jumpa ramai yang dengan sombongnya berkata "I don't need supplement", tapi faktanya tahun-tahun berlalu I don't see them growing healthier or glower or maintain slim. Kebanyakannya makin naik berat badan, muka semakin gelap kurang glow dan semain terpancar keletihan. Baru usia 20-an. Sebab tulah bila masuk umur 30 tahun ramai mula mencari. Umur 40 semua dah putus asa dan terima hakikat akan sakit.




WHY NOT YOU, yang berusia 20-an ni mula menjaga dari sekarang. DON'T DO IT FOR YOU, DO IT FOR YOUR FUTURE FAMILY.




Aku tak kata satu-satunya cara adalah Herbalife. Ye ada banyak cara. Herbalife salah satu daripadanya. But some of you, somewhere in millions of people in the world, some of you dah cuba PELBAGAI CARA dan ternyata anda terus tidak berjaya? Come to us and InsyaAllah we will guide you.




Saya tak memaksa semua orang guna Herbalife, saya menjemput anda yang memang mencari dan memerlukan, untuk bersama kami.

OUR PROPHET (SAAS) FORETOLD THE INCIDENTS HAPPENING IN IRAQ AND ISIS 1400 YEARS AGO

Harun Yahya هارون يحيى

OUR PROPHET (SAAS) FORETOLD THE INCIDENTS HAPPENING
IN IRAQ AND ISIS 1400 YEARS AGO

All daily events unfolding in the Middle East that we follow everyday on media were foretold 1400 years ago by our Prophet (saas) with all their details. He described these incidents as if he saw them himself. This a great miracle.

1. THOSE WITH BLACK BANNERS WILL APPEAR FROM THE EAST
WHEN THOSE BLACK BANNERS APPEAR IN THE (EAST) in Khorasan... (al-Ghaybah Nomani, p. 228)

In the hadith the attention is drawn to a community who will appear with black banners from the East. As is known, al-Qaida appeared with big black banners from the East.

2. AGAIN FROM THE EAST, THIS TIME A SMALLER GROUP WITH BLACK BANNERS WILL APPEAR

... Once they proceed for a while, AGAIN FROM THE EAST, THIS TIME SMALL BLACK BANNERS APPEAR... (Hadith from the Compilation of Jalâleddin Suyuti, The Portents of the Mahdi of the End Times, p.61, hadith no. 7.77)

As is known, ISIS was once affiliated with al-Qaida, but then they separated their ways. That is, following the big black banners, this time ISIS appeared as a group with smaller black banners.

3. BEFORE THE APPEARANCE OF THOSE WITH BLACK BANNERS THERE WILL BE CONFLICTS IN SYRIA

“Following the three portents await the appearance of Imam Qaim (Mahdi)”
They asked him: “What are these portents?” The appearance of black banners from Khorasan and fear in the month of Ramadan.” (Bihâr al-Anvâr, 14)


4. THOSE WITH BLACK BANNERS WILL BE IN SYRIA
…And again WHEN A MAN WITH SMALL BLACK BANNER IS SEEN IN DAMASCUS (SYRIA)... (Hadith from the Compilation of Jalâleddin Suyuti, The Portents of the Mahdi of the End Times, p.61, hadith no. 7.8)

... Another portent of the (appearance of Mahdi) is that THE SOLDIERS OF THE ARMY WITH BLACK BANNERS knot THEIR HORSES TO THE OLIVE TREES IN DAMASCUS... (Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 23)

5. THEY WILL FIGHT AGAINST AL-ASSAD
... THEY FIGHT AGAINST A MAN FROM THE LINEAGE OF ABU SUFYAN (BASHAR ASSAD)… (Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 29)

The hadith refers to Hafiz Assad, who, throughout his power, had committed great massacres against Muslims and refers to him as Sufyan. Consequently the person who is from the lineage of Sufyan, against whom those with black banners would fight, is Bashar Assad.

6. THEY WILL HEAD FOR IRAQ AFTER SYRIA
BLACK BANNERS OF BEN-I ABBAS (IRAQ) appear…
(Nuaym bin Hammad,Qitab al-Fitan)

(Those with black banners) IN THEIR CITIES ON THE BANKS OF EUPHRATES, THEY WILL KILL THEM ON LAND AND IN THE SEA
(al-Ghaybah Nomani, p. 327)

7. THEY WILL OBTAIN RESULTS VERY RAPIDLY

While they are in that situation, banners will come from Khorosan, THEY WILL ACT SWIFTLY. (al-Ghaybah Nomani, p. 327)

They will come back from there with an army and will SEIZE Kufa and Basra IN ONE NIGHT… (Qitab al-Haft al-Sharif, p.174)

8. THE CITIES THEY ENTER WILL ALMOST BE PRESENTED TO THEM

Once something is not presented to them, they will gain a victory by waging war and WHAT THEY DESIRE WILL BE PRESENTED TO THEM. (Meclisi, Bihar al-Anwar, v.51, p.87))

9. THEIR HAIR AND MOUSTACHE WILL BE LONG

His (the commander of those with black banners) SOLDIERS’ HAIR AND MOUSTACHE WILL BE VERY LONG, their clothes are black and THEY ARE THE MEN OF THOSE WITH BLACK BANNERS. (al-Ghaybah Nomani, p. 303)

10. THEY WILL COMMIT MASS MURDERS

God will send someone hard-hearted and whose lineage is not known and he will have victories. THEY WILL MASSACCRE THEM (those opposing them) WITHOUT MAKING ANY DIFFERENTIATION. (al-Ghaybah Nomani, p. 303)

11. THEY WILL PROCEED TOWARDS KUFA.

THOSE WITH BLACK BANNERS appearing from Khorasan will COME DOWN TO KUFA…(Hadith from the Compilation of Jalâleddin Suyuti, Ahir Zamân Mehdisinin Alametleri, p.61, hadith no. 7.12)

12. THEY WILL TARGET JERUSALEM

BLACK BANNERS will appear from Khorasan and, nothing will stop them, UNTIL THEY ARE RAISED IN AYLIYA (JERUSALEM). (Hadith from the Compilation of Jalâleddin Suyuti, The Portents of the Mahdi of the End Times, p.61, hadith no. 7.3)

13. BECAUSE OF VIOLENCE AND INCREASE IN CONFLICTS, PEOPLE WILL START ASKING FOR MAHDI

A great war occurs. Ultimately black banners gain victory. The forces of Sufyan run away. THEN PEOPLE WILL START TO ASK FOR MAHDI AND LOOK FOR HIM. (Hadith from the Compilation of Jalâleddin Suyuti, The Portents of the Mahdi of the End Times, p.61, hadith no. 7.26)

14. BLACK BANNERS WILL ULTIMATELY ABIDE BY MAHDI and THEY WILL COME UNDER THE OBEDIENCE OF MAHDI. (Imam Suyûtî)

But they won’t accept it and GRANT IT TO MAHDI (AS) WHO IS FROM MY LINEAGE…(Mejlisi, Bihar al-Anwar, v.51, p.87)

15. AT THE TIME OF MAHDI WARS WILL COME TO A COMPLETE END AND NOT A SINGLE BLOOD WILL BE SHED

One of the main attributes of Hazrat Mahdi (as) is his never shedding a single drop of blood. It is not Mahdi who sheds blood, wages war or oppresses. Such fake Mahdis are doomed to failure.

(Mehdi) has such a vast justice that, EVEN A SLEEPING PERSON IS NOT AWAKEN AND NOT A SINGLE DROP OF BLOOD IS SHED. (Mejlisî, Bihâr Al-Anvâr, v.51, p.87)

THE PARTIES OF A WAR LAY DOWN THEIR WEIGHS [THEIR ARMS ETC.] No enmity will remain among anyone. All enmities, fights, envies will absolutely disappear. (Imam Sharani, Death-Doomsday-Hereafter and the Portents of the End Times, p. 496)

As it is seen, what our Prophet (saas) foretold comes to be true one by one. The incidents in the Middle East and the world proceed just as how our Prophet (saas) described.

It is a great miracle that these portents related in the hadiths come to be true with all their details. However these miracles are not mentioned by many Islamic scholars and they are ignored. Yet no matter how hard they try to conceal them, we are living in the End Times, in the last phase of the world.

By God’s will, we will altogether see Prophet Jesus (as) and Hazrat Mahdi (as).

The History of the Children of Israel in the Holy Land

The History of the Children of Israel in the Holy Land


Allaah says that which translates as: “We have already written in the book [of Psalms] after the [previous] mention [i.e., in the Torah] that the land [i.e., the Holy Land of Palestine] is inherited by My righteous servants.” (Al-Anbiyaa’: 105). The children of Israel are the descendants of Prophet Ya’qoob (Jacob) who was the son of Prophet Ishaaq (Isaac), son of Prophet Ibraaheem (Abraham), peace be upon them all. Their history in the Holy land started when Prophet Ibraaheem, peace be upon him, migrated from Iraaq to Shaam (which comprises of modern day Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan and parts of Iraq and Saudi Arabia) where his son Prophet Ishaaq and grandson Prophet Ya’qoob were born.

In Shaam Ya’qoob’s two wives gave birth to twelve of his children, who he subsequently migrated with to Egypt due to Shaam being struck with famine for many years. This migration was in response to the invitation of his son Prophet Yoosuf (Joseph), peace be upon him. Allaah says that which translates as: “And when they entered upon Yoosuf, he took his parents to himself [i.e., embraced them] and said: ‘Enter Egypt, Allaah willing, safe [and secure].’” (Yoosuf: 99). The children of Israel stayed in Egypt for two hundred years and suffered from much oppression from the Pharaohs during that time.

During the end of this two-hundred year period, Allaah sent Prophet Moosaa (Moses), peace be upon him, as His messenger to Pharaoh and his people to call them to the worship of Allaah, but Pharaoh refused arrogantly. Moosaa, peace be upon him, left Egypt along with the children of Israel and headed towards the Holy Land around 1350 BC. However when Moosaa, peace be upon him, commanded the children of Israel to enter the Holy Land, they refused to fight alongside him against the polytheists who were there, as Allaah says that which translates as: “And [mention, O Muhammad], when Moses said to his people: ‘O my people, remember the favour of Allaah upon you when He appointed among you prophets and made you possessors and gave you that which He had not given anyone among the worlds. O my people, enter the Holy Land [i.e., Palestine] which Allaah has assigned to you and do not turn back [from fighting in Allaah’s cause] and [thus] become losers.’ They said: ‘O Moses, indeed within it is a people of tyrannical strength, and indeed, we will never enter it until they leave it, but if they leave it, then we will enter.’ Said two wise men from those who feared [to disobey] upon whom Allaah had bestowed favour: ‘Enter upon them through the gate, for when you have entered it, you will be predominant. And upon Allaah rely, if you should be believers.’ They said: ‘O Moses, indeed we will not enter it, ever, as long as they are within it; so go, you and your Lord, and fight. Indeed, we are remaining right here.’ [Moses] said: ‘My Lord, indeed I do not possess [i.e., control] except myself and my brother, so part us from the defiantly disobedient people.’ [Allaah] said: ‘Then indeed, it is forbidden to them for forty years [in which] they will wander throughout the land. So do not grieve over the defiantly disobedient people.’” (Al-Maa’idah: 20-26).

Therefore, as a punishment from Allaah, the children of Israel were made to wander in the desert with Moosaa, peace be upon him, for forty years. Moosaa, peace be upon him, died during this period without ever entering the Holy Land. Due to the Children of Israel being forbidden by Allaah to enter the Holy Land, Moosaa, peace be upon him, asked Allaah to allow him to be as close to it as possible; in this regard, The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said: “Moosaa asked Allaah to bring him within a stones throw from the Holy Land” (Bukhaari & Muslim).

After these forty years Yoosha’ Ibn Noon (Joshua), who was appointed by Moosaa, peace be upon him, as his successor, commanded the children of Israel to enter the Holy Land. This time they complied and fought against the polytheists, as the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said in regard to this: “One of the Prophets went to battle, he reached close to the place (of the enemy, i.e., Palestine) at around to the time of the ‘Asr prayer, so he looked at the sun and said, ‘You are commanded (to set) and I am commanded (to fight)’: ‘O Allaah! Stop it from setting.’ So Allaah stopped the sun from setting.” (Bukhaari).

Allaah commanded the children of Israel to enter the Holy Land while prostrating, asking forgiveness and being grateful. The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said: “The children of Israel where told: “And [recall] when We said: ‘Enter this city [i.e., Jerusalem] and eat from it wherever you will in [ease and] abundance, and enter the gate bowing humbly [i.e., in gratitude to Allaah and admission of sin] and say: ‘Relieve us of our burdens [i.e., sins]. We will [then] forgive your sins for you, and We will increase the doers of good [in goodness and reward].” (Al-Baqarah: 58) but instead they entered crawling on their buttocks, saying, ‘A grain of barley.’ (something which sounds very similar to what Allaah commanded them to say, which they said in arrogance and rebellion against the command of Allaah.)” (Bukhaari). Allaah says that which translates as: “But those who wronged changed [those words] to a statement other than that which had been said to them, so We sent down upon those who wronged a punishment [i.e., plague] from the sky because they were defiantly disobeying.”  (Al-Baqarah: 59).

After this, the Children of Israel lived in the Holy Land for almost four hundred years, until the Palestinian polytheists defeated them in a war. Therefore, the Children of Israel requested from one of their Prophets that he ask Allaah to send a king for them in order that they could all fight under his banner. Regarding this, Allaah says that which translates as: “And their prophet said to them: ‘Indeed, Allaah has sent to you Taaloot (Saul) as a king.’ They said ‘How can he have kingship over us while we are more worthy of kingship than him and he has not been given any measure of wealth?’ He said: ‘Indeed, Allaah has chosen him over you and has increased him abundantly in knowledge and stature. And Allaah gives His sovereignty to whom He wills. And Allaah is all-Encompassing [in favour] and Knowing.”  (Al-Baqarah: 247).

After Taaloot, Prophet Daawood (David), peace be upon him, inherited the Kingdom, then his son Prophet Sulaymaan (Solomon), peace be upon him. After this, the Kingdom was divided into two; the Northern Kingdom of Israel with Nablus as its capital, which was named after Prophet Israel (Ya’qoob), peace be upon him; and the Southern Kingdom of Yahoodhaa with Jerusalem as its capital, which was named after Yahoodhaa, son of Prophet Ya’qoob, peace be upon him.

As a result of the children of Israel spreading corruption on the earth, Allaah punished them by sending Sarjoon Al-Aashoori in 721 BC who destroyed the Northern Kingdom.

In 587 BC: The king of Babylon conquered the Southern Kingdom, destroyed Jerusalem, killed many of its people and took those who where not killed as captives back to Babylon. Allaah says that which translates as: “And we conveyed to the Children of Israel in the Scripture that: ‘You will surely cause corruption on earth twice, and you will surely reach [a degree of] great haughtiness.’ So when the [time of] promise came for the first of them, We sent against you servants of Ours – those of great military might, and they probed [even] into the homes, and it was a promise fulfilled.” (Al-Israa’: 4-5).

In 538 BC: Qarroosh the Persian king allowed the Children of Israel to return to Palestine.

In 320 BC: The Children of Israel became subject to the rule of the Greeks and this continued until 63 BC.

After this, Prophet ‘Eesaa (Jesus) peace be upon him, was sent to the children of Israel confirming the messages that came before him and bringing glad tidings of a final and sealing message. Allaah says that which translates as: “And [mention] when ‘Eesaa, the son of Maryam (Mary), said: ‘O Children of Israel, indeed I am the messenger of Allaah to you confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing good tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmad (i.e., the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam)’. But when he came to them with clear evidences, they said: ‘This is obvious magic.’”  (As-Saff: 6).

‘Eesaa, peace be upon him, faced many difficulties during his mission of calling the Children of Israel to the worship of Allaah. In fact, they even plotted to murder him as they had done with other Prophets, but Allaah rescued him from them. Due to these evils, the Children of Israel became deserving of the punishment from Allaah; and His Prophets conveyed this to them. Allaah says that which translates as: “They (i.e., the Jews) have been put under humiliation [by Allaah] wherever they are overtaken, except for a rope [i.e., covenant] from Allaah and a rope [i.e., treaty] from the people [i.e., the Muslims]. And they have drawn upon themselves anger from Allaah and have been put under destitution. That is because they disbelieved in [i.e., rejected] the verses of Allaah and killed the prophets without right. That is because they disobeyed and [habitually] transgressed.” (Aal ‘Imraan: 112) and also: “…And they were covered with humiliation and poverty and returned with Anger from Allaah [upon them]. That was because they [repeatedly] disbelieved in the signs of Allaah and killed the prophets without right. That was because they disobeyed and were habitually transgressing.” (Al-Baqarah: 61) and also, “And [mention] when your Lord declared that He would surely [continue to] send upon them until the Day or Resurrection those who would afflict them with the worst torment. Indeed your Lord is swift in penalty; but indeed, He is Forgiving and Merciful.” (Al-A’raaf: 167).

Rajab 16 AH: Jerusalem came under Muslim rule and its keys where surrendered to Caliph ‘Umar ibn Al-Khattaab, may Allaah be pleased with him. Its people were given a pledge of security which had a condition requested by the Christians not to allow any of the Jews to live in Jerusalem or even enter it.

Sha’baan 492 AH: The Christian Crusaders conquered Jerusalem, entered Al-Aqsaa, desecrated it and killed nearly seventy thousand Muslims.

Rajab 583 AH: The Muslims retrieved Al-Aqsaa and Palestine remained as Muslim territory until the British captured it from the Muslims in 1923 CE, following the Second World War.

Although Palestine was under the control of Muslims from the years 583 AH until 1923 CE, many events took place during this time:

1600 CE: The Protestant Christians started stating that the Jews must return to Palestine in order to fulfil the promises in the Torah, which was considered by Oliver Cromwell to be a pre-cursor to the return of ‘Eesaa, peace be upon him. This was later confirmed by the German Protestant Paul Hoover in 1655 CE.

1799 CE: Napoleon attempted to occupy Palestine and addressed the Jews in his speech saying: “‘France is giving you the heritage of Israel (Palestine) … This is the right moment; the opportunity of regaining your rights as a nation in the world which might never reoccur in thousands of years.”  Napoleon was not the only one calling for this and this effort continued and was repeated by many others.

1897 CE: In Basle, Switzerland during the Convention for Zionist Organisations led by Theodore Herzl, it was decided that a national homeland be established for all Jews in Palestine.

1901 CE: Herzl met Sultan ‘Abdul-Hameed and offered assistance to the Ottoman State during their times of turmoil, in return for the land of Palestine. The Zionists repeated this offer again in the following year but the Sultans answer was: “Advise Dr Herzl not to try again because I cannot give up even a hand-span of this land, as it is not my property. Moreover, my people fought and spilled their blood for this land… Let the Jews keep their millions; when my Empire has vanished then perhaps they will be able to occupy Palestine without having to pay any money for it, but they will have to rip our bodies into pieces first.”

1917 CE: British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour announced his decision to allow the Jews to establish their homeland in Palestine and said: “The promises in the Torah are worth the sacrifice of seven hundred thousand Palestinians.”

1923 CE: Palestine came under the control of Great Britain after the Ottoman army was defeated during the Second World War. Before Palestine came under the control of the British, the Jews there only numbered seventy five thousand; but afterwards, due to systematic immigration, their numbers swelled to seven hundred and fifty thousand.

Many revolutions and uprisings occurred against the Jews, like ‘Al-Buraaq’ revolution in 1929 CE but the British rulers along with the Jewish gangs that effectively ran the country defeated them. Others were led by the Mujaahid ‘Izzuddeen Al-Qassaam and his brothers in 1935 CE, and 1936-1939 CE, which was the major Palestinian revolution.

1947 CE: The Jews announced the establishment of their state in Palestine and many countries recognised this state. This was as a result of the Israeli army defeating the armies of seven Arab countries. Thereupon, the ‘Ross’ treaty was drafted and signed and the Arab armies stopped at the borders which where decided by the treaty. After this, a further two peace treaties were signed.

In 1967 CE: The Israeli forces captured the Sinai Peninsula, the Golan Heights, the West Bank of the River Jordan and Gaza. They also captured Eastern Jerusalem which contains Al-Aqsaa and the Dome of The Rock.

8/12/1987 CE: The first uprising began against Israeli occupation. During this, the martyrs numbered two thousand people, plus thirteen thousand injured.

The Future Of The Struggle Against The Jews:

The struggle against the Jews is far from over, they have gathered again in the land of Palestine just as the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam predicted when he said: “The (final) Hour will not occur until the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Jews will hide behind the rocks and the trees which will say:  ‘O Muslim! O slave of Allaah! There is a Jew behind me so come and kill him, except the boxthorn (Al-Gharqad) tree, because it is a Jewish tree.” (Bukhaari & Muslim). In another narration Abu Umaamah narrated that the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said: “A group of my nation will continue to  prevail upon the truth, defeating their enemy and not being affected by those who fight them, only being affected by the hardship which results from sickness, until the command of Allaah comes (i.e., The Final Hour) while they are still upon the  same path.” His companions asked: “Where will they be?” he sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam replied: “Jerusalem and its surroundings.” (Ahmad & Tabaraani).

Many Qur’aanic verses promise victory to the believers if they adhere to the commands of Allaah of supporting and protecting His religion. Allaah says that which translates as: “And Our word [i.e., decree] has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers. [That] indeed, they would be those given victory. And [that] indeed, Our soldiers [i.e., the believers] will be those who overcome.” (As-Saafaat: 171-173) and also: “Permission [to fight] has been given to those who are being fought, because they are wronged. And indeed, Allaah is competent to give them victory. [They are] those who have been evicted from their homes without right – only because they say, ‘Our Lord is Allaah.’ And was it not that Allaah checks the people, some by means of others, there would have been demolished monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which the name of Allaah is mentioned [i.e., praised]. And Allaah will surely support those who support Him [i.e., His cause]. Indeed, Allaah is Powerful and Exalted in Might.” (Al-Hajj: 39-40) and also: “Indeed, We will support Our Messengers and those who believe during the life of this world and on the Day when the witnesses will stand.” (Ghaafir: 51) and also: “If Allaah should aid you, no one can overcome you; but if He should forsake you, who is there that can aid you after Him? And upon Allaah let the believers rely.” (Aal ’Imraan: 160) and also: “… And if Allaah had willed, He could have taken vengeance upon them [Himself], but [He ordered armed struggle] to test some of you by means of others. And those who are killed in the cause of Allaah – never will He waste their deeds. He will guide them and amend their condition. And admit them to Paradise, which He has made known to them. O you who have believed, if you support Allaah, He will support you and plant firmly your feet. But those who disbelieve – for them is misery, and He will waste their deeds.” (Muhammad: 4-8).

PROMISE YOURSELF YOU'LL NEVER GIVE UP.

Think about it! How long should a baby try to learn how to walk? How long would you give the average baby before you say, "That's it, you've had your chance"? You say that's crazy? Of course it is. Any mother in the world would say, "My baby is going to keep trying until he learns to walk!" No wonder everyone walks. There is a vital lesson in this. Ask yourself, "How long am I going to work to make my dreams come true?" I suggest you answer, "As long as it takes." That's what resolve is all about.

The little swallow

Perhaps you've heard the story about the little swallow. . .

It was covering one eye with it's wing and crying bitterly. An owl flew by and asked, "Little bird, what's wrong?" The swallow pulled away its wing and showed a gash where once it had an eye. "Now I understand'" hooted the owl, blinking, "Your crying because the crow pecked out your eye!" "No," replied the bird sadly, "I'm not crying because the crow pecked out my eye; I'm crying because I let him."

Is there someone who is pecking away at your vision?

The Law of Sowing and Reaping

The Law of Sowing and Reaping

by Jim Rohn

Here’s the first of the basic laws of leadership: Whatever you sow, you reap. Now here’s another way to put it on the positive side: In order to reap, you must sow. Reaping is reserved for those who sow, who plant. To deserve the harvest, you must plant the seed. Take care of it in the summer. Carefully harvest it and then do wise things with the harvest.

Now, here’s the rest of the law of sowing and reaping. If you sow good, you reap good. If you sow bad, you reap bad. You can’t sow bad and hope for good. You can’t plant weeds and hope for flowers. Here’s something else about the law of sowing and reaping. You don’t reap only what you sow. That’s important to understand. You reap much more than what you sow. If you just reaped what you sow, what’s the exercise for?

An important thing to understand about that is it works both positive and negative. The old prophet said, “If you sow the wind, you don’t reap wind, you reap a whirlwind.” You’ve got to be careful sowing the wind. It comes back as a whirlwind. That’s on the negative side. But now it also works on the positive side. If you plant a cup of corn, how much do you get back—a cup? No, a bushel for the cup. You get back much more than what you plant. That’s the reason for planting—for the increase.

Now here’s the next key to the law of sowing and reaping. Sometimes it doesn’t work at all. Everybody has to understand. The farmer plants the crop in the spring and takes care of it all summer. He’s an honorable man. Loves his family and is a decent citizen. But the day before he sends the combines into the field, a hailstorm comes along and beats his crop into the ground. And it’s gone. It’s lost.

So this time it didn’t work. Now what must the farmer do? He’s got to decide whether to do it again or not. “Shall we take another chance the next spring?” We would advise him to do so even though he lost everything in the last harvest because more often than not, you’ll have a harvest if you plant in the spring. There’s no guarantee, but it’s pretty good odds. It’s better than Las Vegas. Incredible! The law of sowing and reaping.
