There was this beautiful woman, who wanted to get married, but she wanted a very pious husband, so she said that she’ll marry the man who recites the whole Quran every single day, fasts for the whole year and stays awake and worships Allah all throughout the night.
She was a very beautiful woman, and a lot of suitors wanted to marry her, but they knew they couldn’t fulfil the conditions she set. Until this one man stepped forward and said he could fulfil them. So the Imam got both of them married.
After the first night of the marriage, the wife sees that the husband doesn’t recite the whole of the Quran, nor does he fast, nor does he stay awake in the worship of Allah, she decided to let it roll on for a few weeks to see if there were any changes, there weren’t, so she filed a complaint and asked for a divorce.
They are both taken in front of the judge, and the judge asked, ‘What were the conditions of the marriage?’ the man replied ‘They were for me to recite the whole Quran daily, keep fast for the whole year and to worship Allah all throughout the night.’
The Judge asked, ‘ did you fulfil them? The man calmly answered, ‘…yes.’
The judge answers, ‘you lie, your wife has said that you don’t, that’s why she’s asking for a divorce’.
But the man insisted that he had fulfilled the conditions, so the judge asked, ‘did you recite the full Quran everyday?’ The man answered yes. The Judge, baffled asked, ‘how? How can you do that?’ The man coolly answered, ‘I recite Surah Ikhlas three times a day and according to Prophet Muhammad (saw), reciting Surah Ikhlas three times is equivalent to reciting the whole Quran.’ The Judge was intrigued, so he asked, ‘how did you fast the whole year?’ The man answered, ‘ I fasted for the whole month of Ramadan, then kept another six fasts in the month of Shawwal, according to Prophet Muhammad (saw), keeping all of the fast of Ramadan then keeping six fasts in the month of Shawwal, is as if you have fasted for the whole year.’
The Judge remained silent, he couldn’t give a reply saying the man was wrong, so finally he asked, ‘ how did you stay awake all night and worship Allah, when your wife saw you sleeping?’ The Judge thought the man wouldn’t be able to answer this one, but the man, cool as a cucumber answered, ‘I prayed Salatul Isha with jamaat, then the next day prayed Salatul Fajr with jamaat, according to Prophet Muhammad (saw), the one who prays Salatul Isha and Salatul Fajr with jamaat, it is as if he had stayed up all night worshipping Allah.’
The Judge sat there looking at the man; the final verdict was about to be released…
He said to the man and his wife, ‘…go, just go, there is nothing wrong with this marriage’…

".....Formerly, what we now call Sufism was a reality without a name; now it has become a name without a reality...."

The Revealing of the Last 10 Signs: the Unfolding
Some here have said that by revealing that Osama bin Laden is the Masih ad-Dajjal that I am therefore an enemy of Islam; but We of the Emerald Table have told me by that Ear of which Isa said: "Let him hear" to hear His Word; and that I hear; that I then write, as was written of me in the Gospel of Truth; the Gospel of John.
The Lamb told us to remember from where and by what means one hears; and as Instructed I write to tell the believers here that they are completely mistaken; as I am not the enemy of Islam but sent as the Envoy of the Lamb slain from the Foundation of the World: the hearer of the Word of Allah who stands in the position as the Child of that Son of Man.
As of the Divine Islam I have eaten of the the Fruit of the Tree of Life which is Unity; thus having eaten of that flesh I touch not women; having drunken of his blood I drink no wine: thus I am a Nazarene of the Divine Islam that is revealed at the End as revealed by the 12 Apostles of the Lamb; the True Salafs: they who are Rightly Guided by the Word of Allah.
As for Universal Islam I stand in the position of the Nazarene of it's Table; and if you know of the Oil of the Lamp which is Sufism then ye shall know that the Blessed Olive Tree Muhammed received his Light from that he wrote of in the Verse of Light in the Holy Qur'an was Jesus of Nazareth.
At the End I am but the Envoy of the Word of Allah; whose Voice is called "the Wrath of the Lamb"; but for the birth of the Nazarenes of Islam we must now see that it is where Muhammed joined Lord Jesus at the Table of the Last Supper that our story begins.
THE ISLAM OF GETHSEMENE
Islam in it's present form was born at Gethsemene when Isa said three times these words when Allah "broke" him:
"Not my will but thine ( Allah's ); be done."
It is for this reason that Isa spoke of Muhammed and the Nation of Islam to come when he said this; to wit;
"Who falls upon this Rock shall be broken:
but upon whom it falls will be ground to powder".
This was the Principle of "Submission to the Wiil of Allah" that is the Law of Islam; the Nation that Lord Jesus said the Kingdom would be given as the New Owners because the owners of the vineyard had conspired and then killed the Heir. In this sense St Paul stood in the Position of Eliezer of Damascus as the Prophet of the Gentiles; which was the Position of Balaam; and Muhammed stood in the Position of Ishamel as being given the Kingdom by his unjustly slain brother who they killed in the Position of Issac; the Bridegroom.
Israel lost it's status of the Elect Nation and became merely Jacob aand the Children of Islam became the Children of the Stars as risen from the dust of the earth of which the children of Hagar were originally likened by El Elion to Abram; thus the Elders of Judah stood in relation to Jesus as having the "power of life and death" over him as Abraham did to Issac.
