HOMEMAKING FOR THE BLACKWOMAN JOURNAL – Print It Out! Ramadhan Mubarak!

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
السلام علايكم و الرحمت الله و البركت
الحمد لله الله اكبر سبحن الله

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum!

Last Thursday, as I was in Sujuud, a pair of food bearing visitors approached. I just pulled my curtain and they got the hint.

Later, I thought, “What a noble and generous way to spend THANKSGIVING?”
Actually GIVING!

Most people get caught up in the Thanks and forget all about the Giving. 🙂

In Islam, Charity/Zakat/Sadaqa is synonymous with Good Works. It is how we ask for Allah’s forgiveness. By giving – We are forgiven. 🙂

May Allah Bless us with a Successful Ramadhan and help us with our intention (nia) to continue to eat the same way in the next year and the rest of our lives, or every other day, or every seven days. 🙂

Read this. Especially the Chapters on Fasting 13, 14, and 15. 🙂

WordPress trippin again….

I have been trying to leave since 2017.

If you can help. You’ve got it all over them.

I saw a video awhile back with a Brother and his wife technically bringing back STEP AEROBICS. STOKED!

I used to teach DISCO-CARDIO back when it first came out and with my sk8board!!! So totally hyped up when I searched.

So totally disappointed to learn that they use church music. Sounds like trap then they start thanking Jesus and it gets really annoying. 😒

Still. Inspired to supplement my  太極拳.

Al Hamdulillah I still remember the basic steps. With some music….I still dig disco. I keep a DISCO PLAYLIST. It is impossible not to move.

If you need a little giddyup…

Beloveds
Blessed Ramadhan to you all and May Allah Bless us With Success.
Additionally we are prescribed in How To Eat To Live to only eat ONE MEAL A DAY or ONE MEAL EVERY OTHER DAY. Thus, we cannot really call it a fast since this is the way we always eat.
A fast should be one to two days (24 or more hours) without taking food or anything like food.
I exhort you to fast each day of the next thirty-one days with the intent (nia) of continuing beyond and into the next year and the rest of your life eating the way Allah Has Prescribed.
Prolong Your Life.
Maintain Your Good Health.
Keep Your Beautiful Appearance.
Make that your New Year’s Resolution. 🥰🩷🩷🩷🩷🌹🌿🌹🌿🌹🌿🌹🌿🫡☝🏿

HOMEMAKING FOR THE BLACKWOMAN JOURNAL – ANCIENT CHINESE – Print It Out :) :) <3 <3 <3


السلام علايكم و الرحمت الله و البركت
الحمد لله الله اكبر سبحن الله

CLICK ON THE PHOTOGRAPH TO HEAR BEAUTIFUL CHINESE FLUTE WHILE YOU PERUSE… 🙂

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum My Dearly Beloved Ukhtis!!! ❤ ❤ ❤ 🙂 🙂 🙂

I pray Allah you are all well and happy and enjoying abundant BARAKA min Allah, Our Blessed Saviour, Redeemer and Reformer, Who Came in The Divine Person of Master Fard Muhammad, To Whom Be Praised Forever.

We also give thanks and praises to Allah for Our Divine Messenger, Guide, Warner, Leader and Teacher, The Most Honourable and Humble Elijah Muhammad, May the Peace and the Blessings of Allah forever be upon him.

Also, may the PEACE and the Blessings of Allah Forever be Upon His Most Humble Followers and Believers in The Divine Supreme Wisdom Truth which he spent his life ensuring that we hear it and for those of us who have accepted it and do our best to live by it, in these most trying and troublesome days.

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikna! Wa Rahmatu Allah wa Barakna!

All Praise is Due To Allah!

Beloved Sisters! I have for a long time wanted to take a course FREE from HARVARD UNIVERSITY.

After being denied admission to the local college, also being repelled by the insane prices of other universities, I was able to enroll in the EXTENSION program.

It is free for the first four weeks and then if you want to continue it is only about $150!!!! Plus you get a CERTIFICATE from HARVARD UNIVERSITY – The Most Prestigious University in the country!

I have been exhorted by the success of Ja Rule who received a certificate a few years ago. Let me see if I can find what course he completed. BRB

PARENTAL ADVISORY WARNING: EXPLICIT LANGUAGE!!!
SEARCH THE INSTRUMENTAL CAUSE THE BEAT GO HARD

JA RULE – 1999 DEBUT SINGLE FROM THE ALBUM VENNI VETTI VECCI on Island Def Jam Music Group

“Holla Holla”

So, I am enrolled in a microbiology course under a different name, in keeping with my desire to earn a NURSING DEGREE. In Sha Allah!!!

Yes, despite my calm appearance, I am breakin’ in my heart!!! 🙂

So, while I was perusing the courses offered in the FREE EXTENSION PROGRAM, I could not help but observe that about 75 per cent of the courses were based on ANCIENT CHINESE CULTURE.

Medicine, Architecture, Agriculture, Fine Arts, etc….

So, reluctantly, (since being forced to watch CHINESE THEATRE as a youth, when no one was outside) I have become a purveyor of The Ancient Chinese Way.

It spans so many fields.

I have in no way abandoned Islam, but we are taught that there is truth in every religion, the Chinese being Hindu and their prophet Buddha. There is Truth that we can use in our every day life, but as with anything (our Beloved Messenger also taught us to imitate the ways of the devil Christians in certain areas, also other nationalities) we must always KEEP THE MESSENGER OUT FRONT.

Personally, I have found use in the practice of FENG SHUI, for decorating, also Tai Ji, for stress management and self defense.

The fundamental concept in all things Chinese, is Ji/Chi/Qi.

Which, to put it simply, is the UNIVERSAL FORCE that flows through the universe.

If you pronounce it JI, you will discover it is the basis of the word INNER JI (energy) and pondering that concept will give you an idea of just how profound the JI is.

I will not go further into it as, I really don’t want to, because the vastness of The Ji is infinite.

I have also studied REIKI and accupuncture/pressure. Kung Fu and it is really just beautiful if you internalize the concept of INNER PEACE, which brings us right back to the ETERNAL ISLAM. 🙂

So, my dearly Beloved Asiatic Black Sisters, I have decided to dedicate this entire issue to CHINESE.

I will give you a bit of advice if you seek further knowledge, the I Ching (Pronounced EE ching) is a method of divination. It is complex and confusing, but the bottom line is it can be boiled down to the flip of a coin.

So, if you can get your options down to two, you can save yourself the time of trying to decipher the complexity of the I Ching, with the flip of a coin.

The Holy Qur’an teaches against this, as we should seek guidance from Allah in all our decision making.

HOLY QUR’AN 113

“BLOWING ON KNOTS” is I CHING or DIVINATION – FORTUNE TELLING, to put it simply. It can be found all through the Bible and Holy Qur’an.

When the Imams, Scholars and Scientists were trying to decide with whom, Prophet Esa’s (Salaah Allahu Alaihi wa Salaam) mother Maryam should live, they used three different methods.

It can be compared to drawing straws or “rock, paper, scissors.”

Of course, using intellect and facts is the BEST way to make a decision, but sometimes I admit, you just have to pick one or the other and in these cases some people refer to outside sources.

I know my son flips a coin to help make decisions and I told him it was okay. Because everyone, him included, cannot always hear the Voice of Allah, when faced with decisions.

I also think it is a good way to make sure he always has SOME money. Even just a coin is better than none.

So, as with all decisions, you ultimately have to make one. So be prepared to face the consequences or rewards. You are responsible!

The Devils’ New Year is upon us. The change in season is always so awkward for me. In New Orleans, I felt it profoundly.

I would have on my coat because the day before it was a chilly 60 degrees, but this day it is a hot 70! So frustrating!

But Beloveds, just bear it with patience, knowing that most of us are also going through the same changes. 🙂

You can bear witness just by reading my introduction to this issue. Supposed to be Chinese! Right.

But, my degree in Journalism, taught me about teasers. So there you have one. WINTER COMING. 🙂

Okay back to CHINA 🙂

HERE ALSO IS A LINK DEDICATED TO THE SUPPORT AND POLITICAL EDUCATION OF THE MASSES ABOUT CHINESE SOCIALISM AND ITS POSITIVE IMPACT ON A PROGRESSIVE GLOBAL SOCIETY –

As a BLACK NATIONALIST, I cannot leave out the foremost reformist propaganda of the sixties:

QUOTATIONS OF CHAIRMAN MAO ZEDONG


HERE IS ANOTHER NEWS JOURNAL FOR THE CHINESE PEOPLE BY THE CHINESE PEOPLE :
PEOPLE’S DAILY ONLINE

THE PRIMARY TOOL IN CHINESE BUILDING DESIGN IS FENG SHUI (FUNG – SHWAY).
Not quite as indepth as ISLAMIC BUILDING DESIGN, however….

I went to http://www.fengshui.com and couldn’t get in. Maybe you can have better luck. 🙂 In any case, a very simplified definition of FENG SHUI (Wind Water) is the placement of buildings, exteriour and interiour decor in a manner that is most in harmony with the natural world surrounding it – The Ji/Qi/Chi

I will also leave it up to you to find more information that suits your interest. 🙂

Beloved Sisters, I really did not want to leave you hanging as far as FENG SHUI, because I think it is important to live in harmony with the LAWS OF THE UNIVERSE / NATURE, but try as I might, and I devoted much more time than I should have, I could not find ONE REPUTABLE FENG SHUI WEBSITE to provide a link for you.

And by reputable I only need it to have a CHINESE PERSON. :/

You can probably find a book on the subject with greater ease. I might have one I can recommend on my book list. BRB

No. I don’t have one. But your local library should have something for you! 🙂

KOI PONDS

Koi symbolism represents strength, perseverance, and transformation, often linked to the legendary journey of a koi swimming upstream to become a dragon. Other common meanings include good fortune, success, prosperity, and courage. Specific colors also carry their own meanings, such as gold for wealth, red for love and power, and blue for tranquility. 

General symbolism

  • Perseverance and strength: The ability of a koi to swim against strong currents to overcome obstacles is a powerful symbol of determination and resilience.
  • Transformation and triumph: In folklore, a koi that swims up the Yellow River waterfall is said to be transformed into THE GOLDEN DRAGON, symbolizing achieving high goals after a long struggle.
  • Good fortune and prosperity: Koi are widely seen as a symbol of luck and abundance, particularly in Feng Shui, where they are believed to bring good energy.
  • Courage: The koi’s stoic stillness when caught, much like a samurai accepting its fate, is a symbol of bravery and a strong character. 

Color-specific symbolism

  • Gold: Represents wealth and prosperity.
  • Red: Symbolizes love, passion, energy, and power.
  • Black: Associated with overcoming adversity and resilience.
  • Blue: Represents tranquility, peace, and calmness, as well as wisdom and mental clarity.
  • White with red markings (Kohaku): Often symbolizes career success. 

I absolutely LOVE GEOGRAPHY, topography, anthropology and environment are all included in a thorough study of geography. What kind of people live there? What is their culture – meaning what kind of life do they live – food, clothing, language, theirstory, religion, music, &c.? What is the weather like? What type of plants and animals live there? What is the land like? Are there hills, mountains, rivers?

The children can do a report (visual, audio, video, montage, oral, written) on ANY AREA OF CHINA/CHINESE LIFE.

Submit it in the comments. I would love to experience it!

I will probably do ANOTHER one. Maybe like an official report. Apart from this. 🙂

There is so much information concerning China, but for the Brothers I have to go to the WU TANG KUNG FU SHAO and all that…

I POST A FLICK BELOW, IN SHA ALLAH

FASHION IS ALSO SUCH A BIG THING, LET ME GET TO THIS

I LOVE KUNG FU FLICKS NOW AND IN ONE I LEARNED TO DISTINGUISH THE DIFFERENT GROUPS AS “HAIR” & “NO HAIR” FRFR

FOR THE SK8R 🛹🛹🛹

BEWARE!!! VIOLENCE!!!! BEWARE!!!

THERE’S A LOT OF FIGHTING BUT THE SECRET I LEARNED FROM MASTER BRUCE LI, IS TO

“AVOID A FIGHT”


YOU CAN ALWAYS WALK AWAY.
I HAVE LEARNED THAT “PLEADING THE FIFTH” IN ALL SITUATIONS ALWAYS YIELDS A POSITIVE RESULT!!!

JUST DON’T SAY NOTHING. NOTHING. NOTHING. NOTHING.

NO MATTER HOW DIFFICULT. KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT AND JUST WALK AWAY!

NO MATTER WHAT. THEY ARE GOING TO TALK, YELL, SHOUT, AND YELL, SOME MORE.

GET ALL UP IN YOUR FACE, TRYING TO PROVOKE YOU!

YOU JUST DON’T SAY NOTHING AND LEAVE.

KEEP YOUR PEACE.

AVOID EXACERBATING A VOLATILE SITUATION.

WALK AWAY

WITH NO BRUISES

AND YOUR FREEDOM!

A lot of times I won’t even know the title of the flick.

Back in the nineties, I discovered a movie with the main character who told everyone his name was MICKEY MOUSE.

Turned out to be JACKIE CHAN! LOL.

I ran and got my roomie like “LOOK!!!!!”

She wasn’t into it at all. But I was astonished. Jackie Chan is different because he uses props. But so DOPE!

I cannot find that movie for nothing. But I did learn that he had a movie career in China before moving to the states.

My fave right now is PO.

I’M CONVINCED PO AND KUNG FU PANDA ARE REALLY PANDA INN / EXPRESS RESTAURANT.

“NOODLE SHOP” 🙂

Sometimes just the hair can be SO CREATIVE!!!

Una Voce Poco Fa – Il Barbiere de Siviglia ARIA by Rossini

BISMILLAHI

Una voce poco fa (Il barbiere de Siviglia: Atto I, Scena V. No. 5 “Una voce poco fa” (Rosina))

Aria by Gioachino Rossini

Una voce poco fa
Qui nel cor mi risuonò
Il mio cor ferito è già
E Lindor fu che il piagò
Sì, Lindoro mio sarà
Lo giurai, la vincerò
Sì, Lindoro mio sarà
Lo giurai, la sì, la vincerò

Il tutor ricuserà
Io l’ingegno aguzzerò
Alla fin s’accheterà
E contenta io resterò
Sì, lindoro mio sarà
Lo giurai, la vincerò
Sì, Lindoro mio sarà
Lo giurai, aaaah sì

Io sono docile
Son rispettosa
Sono obbediente
Dolce, amorosa
Mi lascio reggere
Mi lascio reggere
Mi fo guidar, mi fo guidar

Ma, ma se mi toccano
Dov’è il mio debole
Sarò una vipera, sarò
E cento trappole
Prima di cedere
Farò giocar, farò giocar
E cento trappole
Prima di cedere
Farò giocar, farò giocar
E cento trappole
Prima di cedere
E cento trappole

Io sono docile
Sono obbediente
Ma, ma se mi toccano
Dov’è il mio debole
Sarò una vipera, sarò
E cento trappole
Prima di cedere
Farò giocar, farò giocar

E cento trappole
Prima di cedere
E cento trappole farò
E cento trappole farò
Prima di cedere
E cento trappole farò giocar
E cento trappole farò giocar
E cento trappole farò giocar
Farò giocar, farò giocar
Farò, aaaaah sì

A voice a while back
echoes here in my heart;
already my heart has been pierced
and Lindoro inflicted the wound.
Yes, Lindoro shall be mine;
I swear it, I will win. (bis)
My guardian will refuse me;
I shall sharpen all my wits.
In the end he will be calmed
and I shall rest content…
Yes, Lindoro shall be mine;
I swear it, I will win.
Yes, Lindoro shall be mine;
I swear it, yes.
I am docile, I’m respectful,
I’m obedient, gentle, loving;
I let myself be ruled, I let myself be ruled,
I let myself be guided, I let myself be guided.
But,
but if they touch me
on my weak spot,
I’ll be a viper
and a hundred tricks
I’ll play before I yield.
And a hundred tricks
I’ll play before I yield

Remember on “Little Rascals” when Not Farina, Not Buckwheat, but Alfalfa used to sing, “I’m the Barber of Seville. Figaro!”
It was from this opera. I hope you dig…

As Salaamu Alaikum!

When you read your child a bedtime story read it so they fall asleep before you finish.

Real sleepy like…

CRADLES and SWINGS

Version 1.0.0

I am ten shades darker than I was at his age. I was about the same colour!

Cradles and Swings CAN ROCK 🥰🩷⭐🌙🌹🌿🌹🌿🌹🌿

So you don’t have to try to put baby down after she falls asleep 🥰

Bassinets are like a carrier that are not portable.

Put your bassinet in here 🥰

Nowadays you can get mechanical so you don’t have to push it.

Rock a bye baby on the treetop

when the wind blows the cradle will rock

when the bough breaks

the cradle

will fall

and down will come baby

cradle and all

THAT SONG IS FO PARENTS

You rock your baby until they get too big

You can put them in another tree if necessary

Sometimes they may be like Okay I’m too big.

Then you don’t have to rock them
