Trey Knowles: RISALA 21 - ISLAM, MY BROTHER
To my adopted brothers and sisters, with whom we are one and the same.
As-salamu alaykum,
“So whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it, and whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it.”
فَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًۭا يَرَهُۥ وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍۢ شَرًّۭا يَرَهُۥ
Surah Az-Zalzalah 99:7–8
Come together with me, your brother who follows Yeshua, who teaches us to do the will of our Father who is in heaven—to submit and surrender in obedience to our Father in heaven.
To Islam, my brother: do not slaughter me. My purpose is to do the will of our Father in heaven, which you believe in doing as well. I know my Lord Yeshua has other sheep who are part of our fold, who share the purpose of doing the will of our Father in heaven. You, Islam, are those other sheep. For this reason, I believe you will listen to my Lord’s voice.
“A person’s steps are directed by the LORD. How then can anyone understand their own way?”
We have the same Father and the same enemy—the evil one who colonizes the world, the one who comes to steal, kill, and destroy, and to influence his likeness upon us.
This is my warning to you, my Islamic brothers and sisters: if you let them dominate you, they will replace your humanity. We are sheep, and there are vicious wolves. Stay holy and separate yourselves from the wicked, so we may be distinguished. Put down your guns, for those guns belong to the evil one.
Blessed is the lion that becomes man when consumed by man. If you master your inner beast, it becomes part of your humanity. But those who are wicked, like your enemy, have an inner problem. so cursed is the man whom the lion consumes, and the lion becomes man. Meaning if your inner beast masters you, you lose yourself, and if you lose yourself, you have lost your God.
Do not trust those whose purpose is not to do the will of our Father who is in heaven. You will know them by their character. People who have wealth but lack understanding are like the beasts that perish. Their aim to destroy spiritual growth.
وَإِن تُطِعْ أَكْثَرَ مَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ يُضِلُّوكَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَإِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَخْرُصُونَ
Surah Al-An'am 6:116: “O Prophet! If you were to obey most of those on earth, they would lead you away from Allah’s Way. They follow nothing but assumptions and do nothing but lie.”
Be holy and separate yourself; be distinguished, and do not allow the devil to make you live in his likeness.
For those who are called Gentiles are adulterous, and you will know them by their character. So whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it, and whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it.”
You know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.
Therefore, let the kingdom of God be taken away from those who will not produce fruit and given to a people who will produce its fruit.
حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْمَيْتَةُ وَٱلدَّمُ وَلَحْمُ ٱلْخِنزِيرِ وَمَآ أُهِلَّ لِغَيْرِ ٱللَّهِ بِهِۦ وَٱلْمُنْخَنِقَةُ وَٱلْمَوْقُوذَةُ وَٱلْمُتَرَدِّيَةُ وَٱلنَّطِيحَةُ وَمَآ أَكَلَ ٱلسَّبُعُ إِلَّا مَا ذَكَّيْتُمْ وَمَا ذُبِحَ عَلَى ٱلنُّصُبِ وَأَن تَسْتَقْسِمُوا۟ بِٱلْأَزْلَـٰمِ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ فِسْقٌ ۗ ٱلْيَوْمَ يَئِسَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن دِينِكُمْ فَلَا تَخْشَوْهُمْ وَٱخْشَوْنِ ۚ ٱلْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِى وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ ٱلْإِسْلَـٰمَ دِينًۭا ۚ فَمَنِ ٱضْطُرَّ فِى مَخْمَصَةٍ غَيْرَ مُتَجَانِفٍۢ لِّإِثْمٍۢ ۙ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌۭ رَّحِيمٌۭ ٣
Forbidden to you are carrion, blood, and swine; what is slaughtered in the name of any other than Allah; what is killed by strangling, beating, a fall, or by being gored to death; what is partly eaten by a predator unless you slaughter it; and what is sacrificed on altars. You are also forbidden to draw lots for decisions.
This is all evil. Today, the disbelievers have given up all hope of undermining your faith, so do not fear them—fear Me. Today, I have perfected your faith for you, completed My favor upon you, and chosen Islam as your way. But whoever is compelled by extreme hunger, not intending to sin, then surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Oh, Islam, do the will of our Father in heaven and be holy. Let holiness cast fire upon the world, and see—my Lord will guard it until it blazes. Oh, bless El Roi, who has many names and who is all-seeing, for His glory and righteousness will prevail.
For I, tell you, Islam, we do not take orders like a woman who is a prostitute, for we are not born of a woman but born of God, so we prostrate ourselves on our faces and worship him. Who is our Father...
Grace and peace,
Sincerely,
Trey Knowles
