Similarities of the Abbasi caliphs and the kings of the Children of Israel

[selfsame]

The Abbasi caliphs fluctuated between power and weakness, between glory and defeat.
The same of the Children of Israel kings.

Both ended by their enemy conquering them. The Abbasi caliphs ended by the Mongol and Tatar, and the Children of Israel kings ended by Nabuchodonosor.

When the Abbasi caliphs (and the people at that time) observed the religion of God, they were powerful, then when the association of sheikhs and imams with God in addition to the enthusiasm about the prophet himself was prevalent, they deteriorated and at last they were defeated by the Mongols and Tatar.

The Children of Israel were the same: whenever they observed God alone without associate they were powerful then when their glorifying of the graves of their imams their religious men), they then deteriorated.

Then came one of their kings Asa: he was a king of Juda, this king consulted his chiefs: why we are in such weakness? They were righteous men: they told him: this is because of the glorification of the tombs of our imams or religious men, in addition to idols.

So he ordered that all such tombs would be demolished; so he reigned for 41 years, then he himself started to glorify the tombs of their sages, and so he was removed and lost his kingdom.

With the exception of Hezekiah all those kings were poopie heads. Should have just had judges like,,,"Deborah".

Following the death of the Prophet,
The Rashidun caliphs came,
then Umayyad Caliphs,
then Abbasi Caliphs which ended at 1258 AC

The Abbasi caliphate went into many phases into deterioration.

God gives His sovereignty to whomever He likes. So whenever a group of monotheists strive for this aim, God would give them the sovereignty, and whenever a group of people regress from this monotheism into the enthusiasm and association, God would take the sovereignty from them and bring other party instead of them.

The Abbasi caliphate reached an extreme degree of deterioration to the extent that the guards became the influential power and the Caliph was put in a cage .. and the two guard officers: Wasief and Bagha were the real rulers and the caliphs did and said as they liked.

A poet said in Arabic:
A caliph in a cage between Wasief and Bagha
He says as they tell him as speaks the Babagha

The Babagha is the parrot.

The kingdom is given by God to whomever He likes.

God Himself gives people their positions and livelihood, but in the life of the World, it appears indirectly, while in the Next Life it will be direct.
So in this life of the World, man toils to get his livelihood, but in fact it is decreed to him to have such livelihood: to be rich or poor, to be an ordinary man or to be a king.

The same is applicable to peoples and states: God dignifies them and make them glorious, or He abases and humiliate them.

So the Abbasid and the Israelite kings: whenever one of them worships God alone without associate
--> he will be glorious and powerful; but whenever he associates others with God by means of the enthusiasm and idolatry --> he will be weak and his enemy will be set on him, and will rule for a short time and may be killed by his enemy.
=====================================================

Therefore, God revealed to His apostle or messenger Mohammed - salam to him: to pray with this prayer:

{Quran 3: 26. Say [O Mohammed, in your prayer:]
"Our God, the Absolute Owner of the 'kingdom and possession' [of the life of the World and the Next Life];
You offer 'kingdom and possession' to whomever [of your servants] You please, and take away 'kingdom and possession' from whoever [of people] You want;
You exalt whoever [of people] You like [to dignify among them] and abase whoever You want [to abase];
the good [as a whole] is by Your hand;
You are the All-Able to do anything [of that.]" a

27. "You merge the night into the day, and merge the day into the night [because of the rotation of the earth around its axis b].
You produce the living from the dead c, and produce the dead from the living d, and provide sustenance, to whomever You please, without stint."}
................................................................

a Anyone who reads this aya in his prayer or in his ritual prayers, should start with His saying – be glorified – "Our God, the Absolute Owner of the 'kingdom and possession' [of the World and the Next Life]", and should leave the word " Say [O Mohammed, in your prayer:]"; because the addressing in the prayer is to God – be glorified – so he should not address Him by saying: (Say).

Similarly, the one who reads chapter 112 (Say [O Mohammed to those Christians who believe in the Trinity]: "He is God, One [but not three whom you claim to be one.]");

Or one who reads in prayer chapter 113 (Say, [Mohammed]: "I seek protection [of God] the Lord of the [nuclear] fission [in the sun]");

And one who recites in prayer chapter 114 (Say, [Mohammed]: "I seek protection [of God] the Lord [and Creator] of men")
The reciter should leave the word (Say) and start with the following word.
[This is in the prayer or on calling on his Lord.
While when one recites the Quran he should say it as it is in the Quran.]

b So that in one side of the earth, there will be night, and in the other side there will be day; and as such the day and night succeed each other because of the spinning of the earth around itself, and so they merge into each other.

c i.e. You produce the animate from the inanimate:
• like the plant from the earth: the plant is living, while the earth is inanimate; God – be glorified – said in the Quran 36: 33, which means:
(And an [indicative] sign for them is the dead [: desolate] land: We have quickened it [by the rain] and produced therefrom grain of which they eat [bread.])
• And like the chicken from the egg: the chicken is living, while the egg shell is not living or inanimate;
• Adam from dust: Adam is living and the dust has no life or is inanimate; etc.

d i.e. You produce the inanimate from an animate or a living being: like the pearl from the seashell, the ivory from the elephant, the honey from the bee, the silk from the silkworm, the musk from the gazelle, the wool from the sheep, the hair from the goat, the wabar (or the camel hair or wool) from the camel, the shell from the seashell, and others which are beneficial to man.

The interpretation is by Mohammed-Ali Hassan Al-Hilly.

There is much similarity between the history of Muslims, following the death of Prophet Mohammed .. and between the history of the Children of Israel following the death of Prophet Moses.

In the first 700 years, Muslims started to conflict among themselves with wars and fighting ( because they started to wrong each other),

then (in the following 700 years) when their wrong-doing increased they fell in the enthusiasm about their sheikhs and imams which lead that their enemies were set on them (Crusades, Mogol and Tatar etc.)

Children of Israel: in the same way started to fight each other at the start (the Book of Judges is full of such conflicts and wars among themselves and the setting [by God] of their enemies against them.

Then at last when their wrong-doing of each other increased they fell in the idolatry .. which lead their enemies were set on them: (Assure, Nabuchodonosor ... etc)

Muslims are human and as such thier state is one of sin and theres nothing to be done but to endure the displeasure of God and be content.
