The consensus amongst many of my friends are that the Sufyani is definitley just around the corner. The situation in Syria is getting worse with hundreds if deaths being inflicted on the population.
Okay, I know there has been scholars with better credentials who have given their own opinion on how the future shall unfold. For example according to Imam Al-Qurtubi - As-Sufyani is actually an Egyptian by the name of 'Urwa bin Muhammad' who will probably come from Egypt with 360 riders until he reaches Damascus. Then he will emerge overrunning and seizing control of Syria with the help of the tribe of Kalb. The Sufyani will then kills 100,000 Iraqis with the support of the Non-Muslims. The Sufyani and his forces will go to Kufa and pillage it, killing the descendants of the Prophet and to the point where he kills children and rips open women.
It's worthy to note that there's a huge double standard in the west's attitude towards Syria and Libya. Libya is using its military to stop the riot which lead the UN to okay the NATO bombings of Libyan armies. UN on the other hand did not wish to interfere in Syria because the use of military force in Syria is actually fueling the riots itself. So in short, the UN and US prefers anarchy and bloodbath in these two countries. 
Here we were told that As-Sufyani is a man who will "emerge" from Damascus. The word "emerge" indicates to us that nothing about him was known prior to his emergence in Damascus. If Al-Qurtubi is right about As-Sufyani, then it means that in the beginning it will started out as covert strike from Egypt instead of a UN sanctioned military operation against Syria because a UN by practice will have to publicly warn the Syrian government before it authorized any attack against Syria. If it started out as covert mission than for certain there's a CIA/MOSSAD involvement with it.
The 'famous' one amongst the siblings is definitely Muawaiyah. Muawaiyah become governor of Syria not because he was appointed by the then Amirul Mukminin. His brother Yazid was then the appointed Governor of Syria but his life was cut short by a disease. Therefore Yazid appointed Muawiyah as interim governor pending a replacement to be decided by the then Amirul Mukminin. However, the Amirul Mukminin then decided to endorse Muawiyah as governor in order to preserve the political stability in Syria.
The Umayyads rule in Spain ended after 18th generation of caliph. Due to continuous division of Muslims amd worsen by the corrupt and disgraceful life led by the later caliphs, the system began to disintegrate. It was at this time Islamic control of Spain was gradually eroded by the Spanish Reconquista by which the Catholic Kingdoms of northern Spain eventually managed to succeed in defeating and conquering the southern Muslim states of the Iberian Peninsula. The first major city to fall to Catholic powers was Toledo in 1085. After the battle of Las Navas de Tolosa in 1212, all of the Empire except Granada fell under control of the Catholic kingdoms. Then in 1492 the Emirate of Granada fell in the Battle of Granada to forces of the Catholic Monarchs under Queen Isabella I of Castile and her husband King Ferdinand II of Aragon. 
Personally speaking, I think As-Sufyani will be a Syrian born citizen. Why, well because the only plausible reason why As-Sufyani is able to exert control on Syria so quickly is because in the beginning he will receive supports from the people of Syrian and that can only happens if he is considered 'local' in the first place. Furthermore, he will receive support from Bani Kalb very quickly which shows us that Bani Kalb probably look at him as one of them too.
It's interesting if we take into account the popular believes today that key player in 2011 Syrian revolution is Mohammad Riad Shaqfa whom is now in exile in Saudi Arabia. He also happens to be Syrian leader of Ikhwanul Muslimin. The middle east intelligence community strongly believes that Mohammad Riad acts in similar fashion to what Thaksin has done to Thailand that is by masterminding the demonstration which turned into full blown riot this year. Will he be the the prophesied As-Sufyani? Most unlikely but then again everything is possible nowadays.
During his lifetime, Hassan Al-Banna consistently denies the accusation that the brotherhood was training its own mercenaries (eventually later after his death it was proven that there were armed division in the brotherhood which was established without Hassan's knowledge).
In the early stage of the Egyptian revolution this year, my Egyptian friend from the group had boldly accused certain leaders in the brotherhood as being used as the CIA/MOSSAD's vehicle to destabilize Egypt. The rumors that Ikhwanul Muslimin had been infiltrated by enemies of Islam is not new. It has been hovering since the day Hassan Al Banna was murdered. Of course this doesn't means that all branches of the brotherhood had been infiltrated, but it is strongly believed that a minority yet key elements in the brotherhood is not what they seems to be. This is not surprising of course, because the brotherhood has become a global organization since the death of Hassan Al Banna that it would be stupid for the CIA/MOSSAD not to infiltrate. Furthermore the rapid expansion of the group itself invite suspicion that something might be going on because otherwise it simply doesn't make sense why the United States and Israel would simply allow the group to expand globally and even has office in United States. In fact, the brotherhood branches all over middle east were implicated in 2011 middle east upheaval with funding from NED being channeled through money laundering activities by the Foundation of the Future. Still Remember Anwar Ibrahim as the Ex-Chairman of Foundation of Future which also happens to be member of Ikhwanul Muslimin?.








This covenant is sealed by blood, our blood. We, the ones who from heaven to earth came.
This covenant must NEVER, EVER be known to exist. It must NEVER, EVER be written or spoken of for if it is, the consciousness it will spawn will release the fury of the PRIME CREATOR upon us and we shall be cast to the depths from whence we came and remain there until the end time of infinity itself.
NOTE: notice the phrase "We, the ones who from heaven to earth came"? Well, I need to explain this reference to 'heaven' before some of you start accusing me of spreading heresy.
Don't be misunderstood by this phrase. The Illuminati knew they are serving the dark side and there's no illusion amongst them that they're heavenly material guys. In fact, they pretty assured they'll be going to hell that each and every one of them have become Necrophobia (Phobia of Death). It actually goes up to the point that all of them wanted to be frozen at death in the hope that one day when Dajjal the Immortal had ruled the world, Dajjal would be kind enough to share the secret to Immortality with the rest of them. Of course they're also banking on the hope that the Elixir of Life will also be found by then.
Ever heard about the Cryo Companies who offered cryogenic service to Necrophobias? Well, ALL of their clients is Illuminist.
The sentence "We, the ones who from heaven to earth" here actually refers to Lucifer and his minions according to Christian methodology. As you could well remember, Lucifer was once an Angel in Heaven before he was banished to earth.
The Christian believes that Lucifer had managed to persuade a few other angels to wage a war against God. Therefore these other angels were also banished from heaven. They were later known as `Fallen Angels'. Stories goes saying that some these fallen angels has since regreted their previous action and turned good while others remains bad at Lucifer's side. I'm not sure what the bad angels are called these days but the good one were later known as 'the Watchers'.
Now, I know what you might think at this precise moment and the answer to your question is 'YES'.. the name 'the Watchers Group' was adopted by the early members of my group and was inspired from this story. The Watchers Group was started by a bunch of anonymous guys in Europe who were obsessed with Illuminati Conspiracy Theory. The Muslims within the group joined in very late and therefore have to accept its name as it was since inception. So please don't think bad of me for using this Group's name.
According to Christian myth, some of the fallen angels (bad and good) eventually falls in love with human and have intercourse with these ladies. The half breed children of the bad angels were called 'Nephilim' and are determined to rule the world. The convention you have just read is supposed to be vows by these Nephilims. Therefore it goes without saying that the 13 families of Illuminati bloodline believes they are progeny of Nephilim, destined to carry out the instruction passed down to them via this convention. That pretty much explains why an Illuminati only marry another Illuminati. It's because they want to preserve the purity of their blood. (It's like in Harry Potter books where the pure blood hates any muggle born).
The good angels (the Watchers) also has vowed to stop Lucifer, the bad angels and the Nephilim. Since angels are supposed to be immortals, then their intention is to hang on fighting Lucifer and his cohorts till the end of time when their immortality will end and be adjudged. They hope that through good deeds, God will forgive them for the wrong they once committed. Like Lucifer, the war was not fought directly. Whereas Lucifer has to corrupt mankind to fight in his behalf, the Watchers too are influencing the course of time by teaching human knowledge which shall be usefull against Lucifer & Co.
Nice story, but it's all BULLSHIT. There's no fallen angels, no war against God, no nephilim and all those christian craps.. It's just Lucifer duping a lot of stupid humans into going bad. But I tell you nonetheless so that you know the story behind this convention and my group's name. Hey, it's not my idea to adopt this name. If I have my way I would prefer name like 'The Lone Gunmen' like in the X-Files series. But nowadays I like the name 'The Black Banners" best.
Assalamualaikum,
berkenaan artikel terbaru saudara, saya sangat tertarik untuk mengetahui secara terperinci kaedah yang dilakukan. saya ingin sekali merasa nikmat khusyuk tersebut tetapi agak sukar kerana saya tidak mengenali mana-mana guru yang mursyid untuk megajarinya. saya ada juga membaca dari buku tetapi sangat kurang maklumat yang diberikan. kebanyakannya hanya berbicara tentang fadilat dan kelebihan khusyuk bukan cara-cara untuk khusyuk dalam solat dan zikir. harapan saya agar saudara sudi berkongsi ilmu.
Terima Kasih.
My Reply..
Waalaikum salam,
Okay, I shall put it out in writing here. But first I have to tell you in advance that it's not going easy at first, but in the end its worth it. Secondly, I hope no one start accusing me of spreading false teaching here. You are completely at liberty to ignore the method I suggested here.
Disclaimer: what is written here is based solely on our understanding on how human mind work. Unfortunately neither I nor anyone from my group can support our method with any authority from any religious text or book. So please spare me from question demanding me to back my method with any kitab by prominent ulama.
From my group's point of view, theta stage can be achieved through rhythm, focus and understanding.
1. What is rhythm?
Rhythm means the rhythm which cause your brain to completely relax. That's being said we believe there's part of the reason why it's a good very idea to read Al-Quran in melody.
The best thing about Al-Quran it has a unique style. It has the simplicity and continuity found in prose, yet it is not prose. It has the beat, rhythm and poise of poetry, yet it is not poetry. It has the flow of tumultuous torrents and the vigor of pounding sea waves. Therefore people who often recites Al-Quran would eventually creates their or style of reading with his/her own distinct melody.
For example, the way
Sheikh Meshary Rachid Alafasy recite Al-Quran will have a different melody from how Syed Sadaqat Ali recite it. The same applies to you, you should find your own 'music' when reciting Al-Quran and performing dzikir.
If you have been reciting Al-Quran and dzikir regularly, then I bet you already have your own rhythm. Others might like to 'sing' it fast while you might prefers slow tempo (and vice versa).It's sort of like 'singing' which you should adopt one which fits your own liking. If you have it already, then stick with it. That melody contains a rhythm that will help you into theta.
2. What is focus?
Focus here means finding a suitable environment to disconnect yourself from surrounding elements. This is particularly important for beginners who will find it almost impossible to detach his/her senses from what's happening around him/her.
In the west, scientist had come up with an idea of having a so-called ‘Sensory Deprivation Tank’ in for meditation. This is actually a soundproof isolation tank first created John C. Lilly by which subjects float in salt water at skin temperature. One hypothesis behind the tank was if all stimuli are cut off to the brain then the brain would go to sleep. Lilly decided to test this hypothesis and, with this in mind, created an environment that totally isolated an individual from external stimulation.
Now for you however, there’s no need to build yourself a tank like this (even though I’m quite curious myself if this performing dzikir in a tank like this would be approved by the Fatwa council). In Islam we are encourage to perform Tahajjud in the dead of the night. In Al-Quran Tahajjud was mentioned as follows:-
“And during a part of the night, pray Tahajjud beyond what is incumbent on you; maybe your Lord will raise you to a position of great glory.” Al-Isra 17:79
“And they who pass the night prostrating themselves before their Lord and standing.” Al-Furqan 25:64
Also in hadith, Amr ibn `Absah claimed that he heard the prophet saying “The closest that a servant comes to his Lord is during the middle of the latter portion of the night. If you can be among those who remember Allah the Exalted One at that time, then do so” — At-Tirmidhi
It is clear that there’s something very special about praying in the dead of the night when the people around you had already asleep. There’s no television sound or the voice from your family members to distract you from focusing on whatever you’re doing. Therefore from a scientific point of view, praying in the middle of the night is as close as being in the isolation tank itself.
What I’m trying to convey here is that in order to go theta, you must find an ideal place to cut off your brain from others stimuli. My suggestion is to try performing dzikir in the dead of the night with the light off. However, if you’re Achluophobia like penguins (Penguin is joked to suffer Fear of darkness) then at least make sure as minimum light as possible.
Try to find the most comfortable way of sitting. I myself find it comfy enough cross-legged while my friend is known to sit on chair while performing dzikir after tahajjud.
2. What is Understanding?
This is the most important part because you cannot focus on what you’re doing if you don’t even now what you’re doing.. AND you won’t know what you’re doing until you truly understand whatever is actually happening.
For this article, what you must do is to understand the meaning of all verses and doa you are going to perform. This is so crucial I cannot even emphasize enough the need for it.
In its simplest meaning, it means that you have to understand the meaning of every verse. Let’s me give an example through my own experience.
In my case, I was told to recite the following verse on daily basis (not only after tahajjud):-
(a) Bismillah-6
(b) Al Fatihah
(c) Al-Ikhlas
(d) Al-Falaq
(e) An-Nas
(f) Ayatul Qursi
(g) Yaasin 1-10
(h) Al-Kahfi 1-10
(i) 1000 Dinar
(j) Salawat Tafrijiyah
(k) And a bunch other doa including dzikir.
(NOTE: This is my ritual which I’m sure different from yours. No need to follow mine. You should stick with what you have been doing all this time)
In order to sink myself into theta, I have to memorize the meaning of every sentence. For example when I pray “bismillah his sami ‘il bashir allazi lai sa kamislihi shai ‘un wahuwabikul li shai ain ‘aliim” then I have to train my brain to instantly know its meaning as “Dengan nama Allah yang maha mendengar lagi maha melihat tiada yang seumpama dengannya dan maha mengetahui pada setiap sesuatu”.
Similarly when I pray “iya kana’ budu waiya kana’ sta’in” I have to train my brain to instantly know its meaning as “Engkaulah Yang Kami sembah, dan kepada Engkaulah sahaja kami memohon pertolongan”.
This will be hard. In the beginning I even have to pause a moment after every verse because my brain was doing mental acrobatic trying to translate what it means in Malay.
You have to train your brain to know the meaning of each and every sentence and it will be difficult at first. I myself only manage to perfect it after 3 months. However, our brain has the ability to imprint something when it was repeatedly done. It’s the same with the first time we tried to text a message using a phone keypad. After a while our fingers can type an SMS very fast without thinking because our brain grew accustoms to the location of each letter on the keypad.
Through perseverance, you too will began to instantly recalled what every verse means.
This is when the magic will happen. Once you began to relax your brain with the rhythm and at the same time focusing on whatever you’re praying to God, you will feels as though you’re alone with HIM.
You no longer hear notice what is happening around. You no longer know where you are. Sometimes you do hear a sound of a car passing your house but it sounded from another world. At this point if you perform a doa, it feels like you’re speaking to him. This is the stage where some people start crying when they pray for absolution because it feels like begging from the higher order.
This is your brain going theta and you’re opening yourself to an inter-dimensional world. When you say something you know that Someone is actually listening. It’s truly a spectacular experience.
Try it, it may be taxing at first.. but in the end it will do you good.
A friend of mine, Pengikut Nabi Muhammad had re-published better articles about the benefit of Tahajjud. You can read it at http://insanberdakwah.blogspot.com/2011/03/kelebihan-tahajud.html
