08 - SURAH AL ANFAL

 

AL ANFAL
(The Ascension)


SUMMARY

This surah is centered around establishing a connection with Allah's abstract system of education, enabling us to access knowledge related to our conscious evolution. Through this evolution, our awareness will expand, leading to a spiral effect of spiritual growth, analogous to anfal, ascension, as we put this knowledge into practice. Ascension represents a journey from our base consciousness to unity consciousness. Base consciousness involves our lower-level thoughts and actions of the lower consciousness, while unity consciousness resides at a higher consciousness.

However, within our thoughts, some may resist and remain unwilling to transform with the truth, even after receiving a clear understanding of the message. This unwillingness and disputes may arise from deep-rooted sorrow that has not been healed. To those who dispute, Allah reinforces their understanding with rational thoughts that support the truth, urging them to abandon falsehood and embrace the facts.

For those who continue to doubt even after this reinforcement, Allah warns of the consequences. Those who have taken refuge in Allah are reminded to introspect and be vigilant against any inclinations towards unwillingness, disputes, or doubts that may seek to influence them. Ignoring these tendencies is futile. Our essence lies in strategizing and comprehending these rejections to dissolve them, freeing ourselves from unwillingness, disputes, and doubts. Failure to do so may result in Allah's wrath, leading to veils of ignorance and inner conflicts.

Therefore, it is imperative to obey Allah and heed the inner voice that conveys the message obtained from Allah's abstract system of education. Do not turn away from this message when you hear it. If you remain mindful of Allah's message, Allah will grant you the discernment to distinguish between the inner voice delivering the message from your Lord and the voice born from your conditioned mind.

It is crucial to recognize that your conditioned mind is forbidden and unhealthy, necessitating its dissolution in submission. In the esoteric concept of Al Masjidil Al Haraam, the unhealthy mind has no place in our submission to the message received from our Lord. Those who connect with Allah's abstract system of education through their conditioned minds may find it meaningless, as they hear words but fail to comprehend their deeper meaning. Their joy and contentment are often based on unearned success.

The embodiment of a conditioned mind, characterized by superiority complex, self-delusion, and sorrow, can be psychologically burdensome for ascension. Therefore, it is essential to embody light in its hidden, esoteric sense. This light not only illuminates your path but also makes you light in terms of weight of your burden, enabling you to ascend higher. This entails detachment from worldly attachments and relationships, as certain emotional states can be heavy obstacles.

To ascend, you must dissolve these attachments and embark on a healing journey to make your embodiment light. Consume the knowledge bestowed upon you by your Lord. Indeed, those who transition from a state of attachment to one free from all attachments, while grappling with the wealth of knowledge from their Lord, are the ones intimately acquainted with Allah's abstract system of education and are truly successful.

(The Ascension - Of Our Conscious Evolution)



By the (divine and all comprehensive) name Allah (that carry an elevated meaning to it for nothing exist without being named), the Rahmaan, the Raheem.   (The Rahmaan is the abundant knowledge provided by the abstract education system of Allah and the Raheem is the approval given to those who seek the education through Ar Rahman).

I will cast terror (as a result of experience from own cognitive thinking) into the hearts (with two sides argument and confusion) of those who kafaru / rejected, so strike upon the 'anaaqi / embracement and strike from them every banaanin / an inner critic.


8.13    That is because they shaqqu / doubted Allah and His rasul / inner voice (that deliver the message).  And whoever doubts Allah and His rasul / inner voice (that deliver the message), then indeed, Allah strongly enforces the punishment.


8.14    That (the punishment) is yours, so taste (self-experience) it. "And indeed for the kaafirin / rejecters is the punishment of the nar / burning sensation of internal conflicts


8.15    O you who aamanu / have taken security (in Al Kitab), when you laqitumu / measure to determine those who kafaru / rejects slowly creeping in, so do not turn your backs to them (do not ignore them).

And you ramaita / strike not, when you strike, but it was Allah who ramaa / strike and that He will test the mukminin / one who take security (in Al Kitab) with a good test.  Indeed, Allah is Hearing and Knowing.

8.20    O you who aamanu / taken security (in Al Kitab), obey Allah and His rasul / inner voice (that deliver the message) and do not turn from him (the inner voice) while you hear.

8.51    That is with what your hands have put forth (of evil) and because Allah is not ever unjust to His servants,


8.52    Like the plight of the ahle firaun / those who become dictator with superiority complex and those from before them. They kafaru / rejected with the ayaati / signs Allah, so Allah seized them with their sins. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and severe in punishment.


8.53    That is because Allah would never yaku / make it happen mughayyiran / one who has changed nikmatan / a blessing with enjoyable and pleasant thought which He had bestowed upon qaumin / a group of established thoughts until they change what is with anfusihim / their souls. And indeed, Allah is Hearing and Knowing.


8.54    Like the plight of the ahle firaun / those who become dictator with superiority complex and of those before them. They denied the ayaati / signs of their Rabb / Lord, so We destroyed them for their sins, and We drowned them (in baseless and false knowledge). And all were zhaalimin / unjust 
(thoughts from your logical mind, putting things in wrong place like accepting the signs / representation, as the reality).


8.55    Indeed, sharra al dawaab / the evil of life experience in the sight of Allah are those who kafaru / rejected (the signs of Allah), so they will not (ever) yukminun / take security (in Al Kitab),


8.56    Those are the ones who 'aahatta / you made a covenant from them, then yanquduna / they break their covenant in every passing by, and they are not yattaqun / mindful of Allah .

8.60    And prepare against them whatever you are able from qaumin / a group of established thoughts (betrayals) and from ribathil khoili / the strong sense of self deluding turhibuna / by which you may be terrified with it aduwwa / unsettling the peace of Allah and aduwwakum / unsettling your peace of mind and others besides them whom you do not know (but) whom Allah knows. And whatever tunfiqu / you self-experience (the reform by putting into practice) from everything in the cause of Allah yuwaffa / will be fully completed to you, and you will not be wronged.

8.61    And if they janahu / incline to peace, then incline to it and tawakkal / rely upon Allah.  Indeed, it is He who is the Hearing, the Knowing.

8.62    And if they intend to deceive you, then sufficient for you is Allah. It is He who supported you with His help and with the mukminin / those who take security (in Al Kitab). 
 

8.63    And allafa / brought together their hearts. If you had anfaqta / self-experienced (the reform by putting into practice) whatever is in the ardh / lower consciousness all together, you could not have brought their hearts together; but Allah brought them together. Indeed, He is Exalted in Might and Wise. 
 

8.64    O the nabiyyu / who pronounce and establish (news of the ghaiba), sufficient for you is Allah and for whoever follows you from the mukminin / those who took security (in Al Kitab).


8.65    O the nabiyyu / who pronounce and establish (news of the ghaiba), urge the mukminin / those who took security (in Al Kitab) over the killing (dissolving attachments including ego). If there are among you 'ishruna / an assembly (of attachments), sobirun / steadfast (stay resolute), they will overcome mi'ataini / remain (in pain at the level of individual attachment and at a group level of attachments). And if there are among you mi'atun / a remain, steadfast (stay resolute), they will overcome alfan / bring together from those who kafaru / rejected because they are qaumun / a group of established thoughts who do not yafqahun / understand.


8.66    Now, Allah has lightened (the hardship to dissolve your attachments) for you, and He knows that among you dhof'an / is weak. So if there are from you mi'atan / remain (in pain who are) steadfast, they will overcome twice sobiran / steadfast (remain in resolute). And if there are among you alfun / brought together, they will overcome alfa'in / twice (remain steadfast) by permission of Allah. And Allah is with the steadfast.


8.67    It is not for nabiyyin / who pronounce and establish (news of the ghaib) that there should be for him asraa / captives until yuth'hina / he has subdued in the ardh / lower consciousness. You desire 'aradho / turning to other (than the truth) of this duniya / close attachments, but Allah intends (for you) the aakhirah / ending (the dissociation). And Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.


8.68    Had not for kitabun / an inherent script from Allah sabaqa / that preceded, surely you would have been touched in what you took by a great punishment.


8.69    So consume (the knowledge) from what ghanimtum / you have gained (of the ascension) lawful and good, and be mindful of Allah.  Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful (for giving us the knowledge).


8.70    O nabiyyu / who pronounce and establish (news of the ghaiba), say to whoever is in aidikum / your hands (power) of the captives, "If Allah knows in your hearts goodness, He will give you better than what was taken from you, and He will forgive you; and Allah is Forgiving and Merciful."


8.71    And if they intend to betray you, then certainly they have khiyaanataka / betrayed Allah from before, then amkana / He secured (you) from them. And Allah is Knowing and Wise.


8.72    Indeed, those who aamanu / have taken security (in Al Kitab) and haajaru / emigrated (from state of close attachment to freedom from duniya) and jaahadu / struggle with their wealth of knowledge and anfusihim / their souls are in the cause of Allah and those who aawaw wanasara / gave shelter and aided - they are awliya / allies of one another.  And those who aamanu / took security (in Al Kitab) and did not yuhajiru / emigrate, from whatever for you and surely yaatimin / no support (from Allah) for guidance from anything until they emigrate.  And if they seek help of you in the deen / obligations to consciously obey (Allah's systems, law and judgment), then you must help, except against qaumin / a group of established thoughts between you and between them, mithtaaqun / (is) an agreement. And Allah is Seeing of what you do.


8.73    And those who kafaru / rejected are allies of one another.  If you do not do so (hijrah), there will be fitnah / test in the ardh / lower consciousness and great corruption.


8.74    And those who kafaru / rejected and emigrated and struggle in the cause of Allah and those who gave shelter and aided, it is they who are the mukminin / ones who take security (in Al Kitab), truly.  For them is forgiveness and noble provision.


8.75    And those who aamanu / took security (in Al Kitab) after hajaru / emigrated and jaahidu / struggle with you, they are from you and ulul arham / those acquainted to Allah's abstract education system, some of them earlier with another in Allah's scripture. Indeed, Allah is Knowing of all things.
