DIVINE GENDER

D I V I N E...G E N D E R

Friday 27th/October/2017

A pronoun is only a function of language. It does not convey or express gender politics. The trouble is, of course, when we choose one pronoun of the English three, some people take it literally. I don't believe God/Allah is female. On the contrary, I think God transcends gender. So the only way to remind myself (and others) of this is to use all of the English pronouns, but especially to use 'She'. We are so comfortable with using 'He' with Allah that we slip into thinking Allah is male, a literal 'He'.

If we take 'He' unquestionably, then we should be able to take 'She' equally unquestionably — but we don't. That's why we need to use 'She' more often. A pronoun is a certain kind of marker in language, not the essence of the divine.

Arabic-speaking people take the gender of "things" literally: they start giving social or anthropological characteristics to inanimate objects. The table is feminine and they start making a social analysis of why it is feminine. Oddly enough, in Arabic, the sun is feminine and the moon is masculine. Think about that for a minute. We tend to think in opposite gender terms about the sun and the moon in English. But it is not literal; it's a metaphor.

It's true the Quran only uses the Arabic masculine (singular) pronoun and not the feminine. But that's not literal either. The Quran uses the first-person singular, 'I' and 'Me' for Allah, and also uses the first-person plural, 'We' and 'Us'. However, no one ever takes that literally, proposing that Allah is more than one! In fact, they make excuses for this occurrence in the sacred text. They give reasons for not taking it literally ("It's the royal we"). However, many people get literal about the pronoun 'He' — they get crazy about it.

The Quran says laysa ka mithlihi shayun: "there is no thing like Him." It also says wa min kulli shayun khalaqnaa zawjayn: "(from) all things We have created (in) pairs." Thus pairedness is a characteristic of that which is created. Here the word shay means "created thing or the thing-ness of creation." But Allah is not created and does not share in this paired reality; either by the dualism of it or even by being one part of a pair, implying the relationship of being in opposition. This is not a characteristic of the Creator. Pretty straightforward if you think about it. But since we as human beings have been affected by patriarchy, then we reflect that onto God/Allah. The divine cannot have gender.

According to the Quran and the prophetic tradition, the default feeling of a believer should not be self-righteousness. This is what the Prophet taught his Companions. Hanzala, one of the Prophet's Companions, had knowledge about the names of the ten hypocrites of Medina who were unknown to the other Companions. Umar b. al-Khattab used to ask Hanzala if his name was among the ten hypocrites! Why did Umar ask Hanzala this question? Clearly, he did this because he did not feel self-righteous at all. In fact, it shows a high level of self-criticism that is rare to find.

Abu Bakr al-Siddiq used to say: "I would not feel safe from God's deep devising even if one of my feet was in Paradise."
 Why did Abu Bakr say this? Because he thought that he does not deserve Paradise as a guaranteed reward from God.
This is Abu Bakr, about whom Umar said: "If the faith of Abu Bakr is put on one side of the scale and the faith of the nation of believers is put on the other side, the side of Abu Bakr will outweigh the other side."

A feeling of self-righteousness is the origin of all sins. If one feels self-righteous and thinks that he has secured an exclusive or special status, surely he will start to feel that he cannot make mistakes. But if you fear God and think that you are the least of the believers, you will avoid committing evil deeds.
The sense of self-righteousness is the origin of every forbidden lust of arrogance, miserliness, greed, extravagance, and so forth.
 If we avoid this feeling, we will keep away from falling into these lusts. This was the practice of the prophets, messengers, and righteous people.

However, the virtue of self-criticism should not turn into self-destruction.
 Self-destruction happens when a person blames himself so harshly that he begins to feel desperate. For example, if a person continues to tell himself that he is no good, he has never done a sincere good deed, and so forth, he will eventually feel hopeless and abandon everything. This course of action is unacceptable. Moderation and balance are virtues that lie between two vices; blaming oneself until one feels desperate and not blaming oneself at all until one becomes conceited. With moderation, our inner self will improve and we will advance in the course of our spiritual journey to God

PIERCING SIGHT

Piercing Sight
www.tariqco.blogspot.com

A believer who is active and has performed some extra acts of worship may feel a certain spiritual awakening. Then, he may think that he is able to feel or see the unseen or have the piercing sight about which the Prophet said: "Beware of the piercing sight of the believer, for he sees with the light of God." [Tabarani] Therefore, Ibn Ata warns us by saying: "Attempting to discover the flaws within you is better than attempting to discover the spiritual worlds hidden from you."

If one thinks that he is free from flaws, then surely there is a problem. Flaws are part of the nature of human beings. Only God has the attributes of perfection, glory to Him. And as much perfection as God has, this is the imperfection we have. God is the Generous, while humans are misers. God is Almighty, while humans are weak creatures. God is always Merciful, while humans can be cruel. God is Most Forbearing, while humans have limited patience. God is All-Forgiving, while humans do not forgive easily. God is All-Wise, while humans are prone to hasty judgments. God is the Knower, while humans have very limited knowledge. God is the Just, while humans are often unjust.

In addition to these imperfections, we should strive to discover specific flaws within ourselves. This is much better than trying to discover the spiritual worlds hidden from us. One cannot have true insight into the spiritual world before purifying himself, in any case. Know that a person can never purify himself completely, but he should do as much as he can. Trying to mend one's inner self eventually helps in realising the quality of humbleness. A certain degree of self-purification and humbleness elevate us and bring about divinely bestowed knowledge and spiritual insights.

We hope 

this is beneficial to us 

here and hereafter.

Amin.

EMBRYOLOGISTS: Muslim women are the cleanest women on earth.

EMBRYOLOGISTS:

Muslim women are cleanest women on earth. 
www.tariqqco.blogspot.com

A woman who is divorced by her husband has to wait (at least) 3 monthly periods and a woman whose husband died has to wait (at least) 4 months and 10 days before they can marry again.
If she turns out to be pregnant, then her waiting period lasts until the birth of the child.

This has surprised the modern science after discovering of (imprint man water).
The liquid imprint of a man contains 62 proteins, and it differs from one man to another, just like our fingerprints. It's like a personal code for each man and a woman's body carries the computer where the code can be put.

If a woman marries another man immediately after the divorce, or allows other codes to enter her, it's like viruses entering the computer. This will cause imbalance, and it'll bring dangerous infectious diseases. It has been proven scientifically, during the first menstrual period after divorce, the woman removes 32% to 35%.
Second period 67% to 72%,
and third period 99.9% of the man's imprint.

The womb is cleansed from the previous imprint after 3 menstrual periods, and it'll be ready to receive new imprint without injury or harm.

Therefore the practice of prostitution, or sleeping with more than one man causes dangerous diseases as a result of the mixing of sperm fluid in the womb. The waiting period of a widow needs more time to remove this code. Because grief makes the imprint to settle inside the womb in a very strong way. That's why God says in the Quran {four months and ten days}.
This period is for the man's water imprint to vanish completely inside the womb of a widow.

This fact made an embryologist to carry out investigation into the neighborhood of African Muslims in America. He found out that all women carry their husbands imprint only. Investigation in another neighborhood of non Muslim women, shows that they possess multiple man's imprint, from two to three.
From that they discovered that Islam is the only religion that guarantees women's immunity and holding of society.

A GUIDE TO PLANTAIN FARMING (Part 1)

A GUIDE TO PLANTAIN FARMING (Part 1)
By TariQ Consult Nig.
www.tariqqco.blogspot.com

What is a Plantain?

Plantains are a member of the banana family. They are a starchy, low in sugar variety that is cooked before serving as it is unsuitable raw.

Unlike starting other tree farms, starting a plantain farm and growing plantain are easier and less complicated.
Although growing plantain still requires ones attention, the level of skill required is not as intensive as other trees.
Here are a few guidelines in growing plantain and starting a plantain farm.

Step 1.
LAND PROCUREMENT
The first thing to consider in starting a plantain farm is looking for the right climate. Plantain cannot thrive in an environment that is too hot or too cold. The proposed land/soil for your plantain farm must be a well drain land that is rich and naturally fertilized but If such is not available, you can create compost and add chicken manure to your existing land.

Now that you have the land what next?

Step 2.

LAND CLEARING
The next thing after land procurement is land clearing:
Land clearing is the process of removing trees, stumps, brush, stones and other obstacles from an area as required to increase the size of the crop producing land base of an existing farm or to provide land for a new farm operation.
You can do manual or mechanized land clearing depending on the size of the proposed plantain farm.

Step 3

LAND PREPARATION:
When establishing a new plantain farm, certain actions need to be implemented to ensure the long term success of the plantation. One of these actions involve the initial land preparation which should be done prior to transplanting of the plant material suckers.

The purpose of land preparation is to provide the necessary soil conditions which will enhance the successful establishment of the young suckers.
Considering the nature of plantain one can not "save" on this operation and hope for long term of the plantation.

The aim is to enable the planter to plan and structure the implementation process in advance, ensuring the successful establishment of the plantain farm. Planning forms part of the initial preparation and will help to limiting unnecessary stoppages during the implementation phase.

Critical factors to consider during this planning exercise are summarised as follows:

- Availability and quality of irrigation water;
- Field selection;
- Mechanical actions to be implemented;
- Chemical needs for pre-plant soil improvement;
- Tools and equipment needed for plantain cultivation;
- Labour needs;
- Irrigation design and installation;
- Leaching schedule;
- Hole preparation;
- Financial requirements and
- Time schedule.

Step 4

PLANTAIN SUCKER PROCUREMENT.
Plantains are vegetatively propagated, most often from suckers (shoots that grow from a bud at the base of the plant) or from corms (underground bulbs known as rhizomes). The use of whole corms is very laborious so it is more common to grow from small pieces of corm.
Please note: There are three different types of plantain suckers which are produced by the mother plant namely; maidenheads, sword suckers and water suckers.
Maidenheads have a large pseudostem which does not produce fruit.

Sword suckers have a narrow base, short pseudostem and narrow, blade-like leaves. They produce healthy, fruitful pseudostems when they mature Water suckers have short pseudostems and broad leaves.

Water suckers are not strongly attached to the rhizome and generally produce weaker plants and less fruit. Maidenheads and large sword suckers are preferred over water suckers.

You need to buy your suckers from reputable farm. There is no stable price for suckers, you can get conventional sucker between N50-N100 and hybrid between N120-N200 depending on your source.

Step 5

PLANTING
If you are planting for fruit production it should be spaced about 8 to 10 feet.

Please note weed and grass competition should be eliminated prior to planting.

Mulching is useful to prevent weed regrowth, but turf grass may need to be controlled by hoeing or with herbicides.

Irrigation should be applied periodically to thoroughly wet the soil. Avoid standing water, as plantains do not tolerate overly wet conditions.

Step 6 A&B

ORGANIC & IN-ORGANIC FERTILIZER APPLICATION.

This is the next step after planting
Manuring plantains with a combination of poultry manure, household waste and woodash improved plantain growth, yield and establishment and greatly reduced infestation by borer weevils and nematodes.

HOW GIRLS LOST THEIR VIRGINITY (Part 1)

HOW MOST LADIES LOST THEIR VIRGINITY

www.tariqqco.blogspot.com

According to the recent research result released by TARIQ CONSULT NIG(TCN), it established that NIGERIAN FEMALES lost their VIRGINITY due to the following;

25% - RAPE/FORCED SEX

3% - ACCIDENT/ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS 

Like auto accident, severe stress, reaction of their body to environmental conditions in some cases.

50% - SPECIAL DAYS/FESTIVITIES 

Like Birthday, Graduation/Matriculation, Valentine's day, Picnics, Fun fairs, happy days, sometimes hurtful/emotional days, festivals like Christmas, Eid, new year etc.

3% - IGNORANCE. 

Many young girls with no knowledge of sex education especially during childhood usually falls victims of being disflowered unknowingly. It is usually after the act many discovered such honor has been lost.

4% - MARRIAGE

Usually this is not counted as unfortunate manner that females gives off their honor because this is the only right and holy way a female should be honourably disflowered. Unfortunately this is now very rare.

7% - SELF SEX/MASTURBATIONS

This is now increasing day by day where you see female masturbating either by herself or by another female. A new person to this might loose hers in this respect.

8% - CONSULTATIONS

This is becoming rampant amongst ladies where by a young lady will consult a guy and request him to just disflowered her, they might just be friends or strangers.

OBSERVATIONS

The following observations were made during the research;

- That most girls (About 65%) now losses their virginity at Secondary Schools unlike before at higher institutions.

- The pride of the Night of Wedding Days has almost vanished.

- Whenever a females losses her virginity, it opens her up for wanted and unwanted illicit sex.

- Religious houses nowadays no more seriously count this as honor especially before marriage.

We hope this would be helpful to the society as we expect the parents to be more up and doing in educating their children as well as decent people to advice their friends against untimely loss of their honor.

FOODS THAT FUELS SEX

FOODS THAT FUELS SEX
www.tariqqco.blogspot.com

In the recent past many couples have contacted TariQ Consult posting various questions about sex among other issues. To some wives, their husbands do not stay long while having it while she desires and can withstands more time, and to other husbands, their wives are not good at sex just because they completely feels worn-out after very few minutes after the beginning of copulation.
According to our recent research, the issue of low time span sex have broken many homes, threatening some present relationship and creating fear in some minds wether he or she is good at sex.

Although the main aim of marriage is not sex but this is very crucial part of it. Whenever issues like this arises between couples, divorce, hanger, fighting, extramarital behaviours like adultery is never the answer. There are series of what can be done to overcome this. Part of it is the use of sex aiding drugs, as well as eating some certain natural foods that can help increase your sex ability.

In this write-up, we would be looking at the aspect of natural foods we may or may not have knowledge of what functions they can play in fueling our sexuality.

You’ve probably heard the adage, ‘You are what you eat.’ Well, this applies to how our dietary habits either make us sick or well.

The same goes for how the foods a man eats can determine how well he can sustain libido.
Instead of popping endless Viagra pills or the local, less expensive alternatives, the following foods can enhance your performance in the bedroom…

Bananas

On its own, the shape of bananas is libido-inspiring. Better still, banana contains an enzyme known as bromelain, which is believed to increase libido and reverse impotence in men. Additionally, they are good sources of potassium and B vitamins like riboflavin, which increase the body’s overall energy levels, says Professor of Physiology at the University of Florida, Penelope Perkins-Veazie.

Avocado

Avocado doesn’t just look like testicle, it also contains high levels of folic acid, which helps metabolise proteins, thus giving you more energy. Reproduction specialist, George Brewer, notes that avocado also contain vitamin B6 (a nutrient that increases male hormone production) and potassium (which helps regulate a woman’s thyroid gland), two elements that help increase libido in both men and women.

Nuts

Nuts are a prime source of essential fatty acids. These are vital, as they provide the raw material for a man’s healthy production of hormones, says .

Eggs

A Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Boston University School of Medicine, Christos Mantzoros, says eggs are high in vitamins B6 and B5, which help to balance hormone levels and fight stress, two things that are crucial to a healthy libido. Eggs are also a symbol of fertility and rebirth.

Liver

Liver may indeed increase a slowed-down libido, says nutritionist,

Figs

These are high in amino acids, which are believed to increase libido. Perkins-Veazie notes that they can also improve sexual stamina. Furthermore, the shape of a fresh fig and the sweet, juicy taste are two tangible aspects that are highly pleasurable to the human senses.

Garlic

Brewer says garlic contains allicin, an ingredient that increases blood flow to the sexual organs. As such, it’s a highly effective herb to help increase libido. You can take it in capsule form, or use it as food enhancer while cooking.

Chocolate

Chocolate contains theobromine — an alkaloid that is very similar to caffeine. It also contains phenylethylamine, a chemical believed to produce the feeling of “being in love.” Experts add that dark chocolate has a massive amount of anti-oxidants, which are great for the body in general, as they help maintain the immune system.

Salmon

Nutritionists say salmon is a great source of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA that help maintain the fluidity of our cell membranes. Brewer says they keep our cardiovascular systems healthy by reducing inflammation, preventing excessive blood clotting, and keeping fats in the blood at healthy levels. The same omega-3 fats are also found in other fatty fish like tuna, black cod, halibut, and mackerel, nutritionists say.

Watermelon

Watermelon is rich in a chemical called citrulline, which helps make nitric oxide that dilates blood vessels. It also contains the phytonutrient lycopene and beta-carotene, which act as antioxidants, protecting our cells.

Green vegetable

Fresh spinach and other green vegetables contain high amounts of chlorophyll, which purifies the blood and helps to increase blood flow. Some also contain essential fatty acids like omega 3 and 6. They’re a rich source of vitamins, including the fat-soluble A and K, and C, as well as minerals that keep the body rich in alkaline and improve energy levels.
