Some of the descriptions of Christ found in early Quaker writings:

The Light. The Teacher. The Guide. The Lord. The Way. The Truth. The Life. The Seed. The Captain of Your Salvation. The Son. A Husband unto You. The Rock Most Sure. The Word. The Voice You Must Hear. The King. The Judge. The Lawgiver. King of Kings. Lord of Lords. Lord of Joy. Lord of Peace. Thy Teacher by His Spirit. The Wisdom of God. The Mediator. The Everlasting Covenant. The Everlasting Priest. A Hammer. A Sword. A Fire. Your Rest. The Head. The Pure, Living Spring. The Water which Washes. The Bread of Life. The Witness in Heaven. The Ingrafted Word. Your Crown and Life. Him from Whom All Your Help and Strength Comes. The Door. The Second Adam. The Preserver. The Sanctuary. Your Savior. The Pearl. The First and the Last. The Word with You in All Places. The Anointing in You to Teach You. The Bright and Morning Star.

After Fajr, our morning prayer, start reciting your morning adhkar. I recite them after fajr and sometimes read 10 verses of quran if im not too tired. Starting your morning with your deen makes you feel much better and protected.

Start your morning with a nutritious breakfast that not only makes you full and satisfied, but also makes you feel good.

My go-to breakfast meals are sometimes:

Avocado toast with chili oil (its actually so good)

Avocado toast with eggs and black olives

Chicken soup or any soup

𝐴𝑓𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑛𝑜𝑜𝑛 𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑒

What I like to do is before starting a hobby, is I do dhikr and/or read the quran. Dont just read the quran, but look up the english translation that you understand to get a better meaning behind the divine words.

Also reciting salawat 100x makes a huge difference in your life!

In the afternoon, do things you enjoy doing. Make yourself a me time, and improve in yourself.

it could be:

Painting/Drawing

Reading a book

Crafting

Going on walks

Taking a nap

Watching islamic lectures

Watching a show

Memorizing a new Surah

A reminder: Let us remember Allah SWT in our day no matter how busy our life may be. ameen

𝐸𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑒

Close to our sleep time, lets recite Mulk surah which benefits us in the grave. As well as our evening/night adhkar. If you guys want an example of what I recite in my morning/night adhkar, let me know!

Before sleeping, remember to repent and reflect on yourself. What could you have done differently? What did you do good? What did you improve on?

May we always improve in our deen and character that makes Allah SWT happy.

Super long post explaining my thoughts on how each of the 12 tormentors found in the Corpus Hermeticum affect people.

My personal idea of sin below:

- Sin is found in the imprisonment of matter, where you are trapped by worldly desires and bodily sensations rather than nurturing the divine mind within.

Okay now here are the 12 tormentors:

1. Ignorance

To purposely lack awareness and not seek out information. For ignorance to be an obstacle in your growth, it is deliberate and damaging. If you simply don’t know something, that is naivety, which shouldn’t be confused.

2. Sorrow

Sadness affects your interpretation of reality. Whether it is a temporary state or chemical imbalance, it is necessary to understand that you are not your thoughts or environment. When we are sad, we know things are beautiful, we just can’t see the beauty. To be caught in sorrow is to believe that this is a permanent state. To be caught in sorrow causes you to struggle, and also blocks good opportunities since you are too stuck in your head to acknowledge them. It’s not sadness or the chemical imbalance itself that is bad, it is the negative ideas that you have built yourself around.

3. Intemperance

Impulsivity, succumbing to the material struggles of addiction. We know this is bad. Again, similar to sadness, in order to recover we must not associate with our impulsivities. To recognize and control them is extremely powerful, especially since in many cases- bad things have happened that lead up to this cause. It does not make you a bad person to struggle with addiction, but addiction can make you do bad things. Relying on material substances to cope is not the way to live, no matter how good it feels. It affects you, your body, and those you love.

4. Lust

To place one’s conciousness and desires fully on only the body of another. To use somebody solely for their body. Rape and sexual assault is one of the most mentally damaging things you could do to another person. To rape is to blatantly reject someone’s free will, to view them in a dehumanizing manner, and to prioritize your ignorance and immediate temporary satisfaction over someone’s else’s livelihood.

On that note, to feel arousal is normal and is not cause for concern unless it obstructs someone else’s will.

5. Injustice

To reinforce inequalities in order to serve one’s material desires. People often get away with injustice when in positions of power because they do not see themselves as touchable. To fail to love is to fail to be human and godlike. By associating yourself with the the hatred and rejection of minorities, or any fellow human or thing for that matter, and to reinforce systemic punishment is to stray from God as every individual has a spark and to reject that spark is to reject God. Injustice torments the will of those around you due to perceived feelings of superiority. This feeling of superiority is nothing but a perceptive flaw. At the end of the day, you are as breakable as the people you break.

6. Greed

To insatiably desire or obsess over wealth and material possessions. This is the most obvious form of material torment, you let money and belongings control you. To desire money or materials is not bad in itself, but to hoard money, spend it in excessive amounts, and be ignorant about it will torment you. Especially if you own fortunes without working for it, or not using it. It’s important to notice when you are becoming fixated on your next investment and practice patience. If you find that money or objects rule your life and do not give you meaning, you should reconsider your spending habits.

7. Deceit

To intentionally lie, mislead, or manipulate someone else in order to gain an advantage. Often for a material or superficial advantage. This deceit betrays the trust of others, and messes with their free will if they do not know or are tricked by the extent of your actions. You will find that suffering occurs when you cannot trust yourself either.

8. Envy

To resent someone for their qualities, advantages, or looks. Often to place oneself into the body of another due to feelings of unworthiness and misfortune in their own life. Excessive envy is damaging to yourself and those you love. It is important to embrace your body, mind and what it does for you even if it is different. Wishing to be someone else will never give you peace. But if you recognize the characteristics you are envious of, and work towards improving yourself out of self love and not hate, you can slowly begin to accept yourself. Growing closer to God.

9.Treachery

Treachery takes someone’s trust in you and abuses it for your own self interest. This is damaging for others and you long term. Prioritizing self interest is an immediate satisfaction and a long term damage. It also causes you to be shallowly caught up in life as a game rather than an experience.

10. Anger

To harbour excessive rage at someone else which may lead to violent thoughts or actions. When your thoughts revolve around the actions of another person, you become less of yourself and hold grudges. Of course, anger directly correlates to violence. It is okay to have anger, but holding it causes you to suffer, and releasing it on others interrupts their will.

11. Recklessness

To have a disregard for the consequences of one’s actions. This is a difficult place to be since there are risks involved, but many don’t actually learn the consequences until it catches up to them. Recklessness is the result of ignorance, avoidance, and malice.

12. Malice

The intention to hurt someone. dwelling on feelings of malice desensitizes a person to violent acts. One’s perspective changes to seeing a person as a target, Which alters their worldly perceptions. When you have a violent thought, you are not thinking about the person or thing you want to hurt, you are thinking about hurting it. As in an object.

Malice can also stem from self hatred and the urge to hurt oneself. Viewing one’s body as an obstacle to be overcome in order to feel better. Again, this is a material urge. It is important to ground oneself and address feelings of sorrow and addiction mentioned above.

[magnetothemagnificent]

One thing I love about Judaism and Tanakh and Jewish folklore is how many heroes and villains and figures there are that in other cultures would be gods and demigods, but in Judaism they're just..... people. Like Moshe could easily, in another culture's mythology, be the son of a god, but he's the son of slaves, saved by the heroism of every day people like slaves and princesses and shepherds and tribal leaders. Shimshon may have supernatural strength, Miriam may have prophetic dreams, Eliyahu may have the power to revive the dead, Shlomo may be the wisest of men, but at the end of the day, they were all just people. I love that we don't have any demigods or other gods besides Hashem. It really emphasizes the power we have as humans, that we're all capable of doing great things, for better or for worse, just because we're people. We all have the power to change the world around us with the gifts we are given. No one is a god among men when we're all humans.

[indecisiveavocado]

also love that our official stance on miracles is "okay big deal they can do miracles. wowza. excellent proof that this person can do miracles" rather than "MUST BE A PROPHET!" like yeah so what you can do miracles that don't say shit about what g-d thinks about you. bad people can be powerful, bad people can do miracles. the only reliable indicator of if someone is a prophet is by fucking listening to them. not the stuff around them, but the words coming out of their mouth.
