The Downfall of Satanic Pride

Lefke, Cyprus   13 March 2011 


Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, la ilaaha illa-Llah, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa lillahi 'l-hamd! Alfu salaat wa alfu salaam ala Sayyidi 'l-Awwaleen wa ’l-`Akhireen, habeeb ar-Rabbi ‘l-Alameen, nabiyyiuna wa habeebuna wa shafi`una, Sayyidina Muhammad wa `alaa Sairi ‘l-Anbiya wa ‘l-Mursaleen wa man tabi`ahum bi ihsaanin ilaa yawmi ‘d-deen.

Dastoor yaa RijaalAllah, yaa Sahib az-Zamaan. Dastoor yaa Qutb al-Mutasarrif. Dastoor yaa awliyaaullah, madad!

We are weak ones, astaghfirullah. As-salaamu `alaykum, O servants of Allah, wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh. We are weak Children of Adam. al-Haqq (swt) said:

وَخُلِقَ الإِنسَانُ ضَعِيفًا

Wa khuliq al-insaanu da`eefa.

Man is created weak. (An-Nisa, 4:28)

However, Shaytan blows into human beings and cheats them, saying, “You are powerful,” then people think they really are strong. He inspires that in them and he has full knowledge of the natural sciences. Therefore, when the devil realized that Judgment Day is near, he prepared himself and said, “I must teach human beings something I know. I have to use all I have learned to corrupt human beings and lead them astray.” He looked at who was ready to learn something from him so the fire of corruption may come on them and they will be unable to put it out. He said, “And this is how I will take revenge on the Children of Adam, as I was thrown out of Heavens because of them!”

The first power Shaytan taught was through Thomas Edison; he opened for him the secret power of electricity and Edison said, “Oh! What is that?” That was the door Shaytan opened and he made them go through that door. The origin of all machines and technology is from that door, including electricity. So many inventions came out in our time now that the mind cannot accept, because Shaytan did not leave a chance to think how that happened. He opened so many doors to create more fitna, which leads to disbelief. Ever since, people have reached a limit to control that power. After entering that door, they were astonished and forgot their past, and found themselves in a time and place that made them forget from where they came.

Now they have reached a point where they cannot take further steps, and that also amazes them. At the beginning they were surprised with the power, and how they had reached the limit also surprised them. When the doors opened they did not know what to do: destroy this world or not? It is possible if one more step is taken this world will explode like a bomb! Now they have reached a situation where they are scared to go further and they are deep in astonishment, because they have experienced the world from its depth to the skies.

But their teacher is Shaytan, who intends for them all kinds of injustice and disease. His intention is to steal the dress of human beings and give them what he is dressed with. Now he has reached a limit and he fears the world may explode. He can blow up the world, but that is not his aim; as long as the humans are on Earth, his aim is for them to be diminished among Creation, and for their punishment to increase, to further spread his teachings among human beings!

As a result of Shaytan’s work, his students and followers are now confused. A few years ago human beings thought they had all the power in their hands and were capable of doing all that they wanted, but Allah, the Lord of the Heavens (swt), (Mawlana Shaykh stands) our Lord and Lord of the Worlds, (Mawlana Shaykh sits) ordered the Qutb al-mutasarrif in the world through the means of Rasool (s), (Mawlana Shaykh stands) Sayyidi ‘l-Awwaleena wa ‘l-Akhireen (Mawlana Shaykh sits) to now close a bit of that door on those human beings whose imagination has exceeded limits, to show them that they have nothing. That door was opened for them and from it various inventions came out. (Prophet (s) ordered,) “Close it a bit and show them they are in disorder and that over them there is a mighty power which may show technology is nothing and they cannot do whatever they like.”

The Lord of the Skies and the Lord of all the worlds, ordered one in charge in this world, by the intermediary to the Prophet (s) who is Qutb al-mutasarrif,  to show them a little bit in the oceans so that they know what they really have. He ordered the malak al-muwwakal, the angel appointed for earthquakes, to shake a little. He shook the ocean a little, which also shook in Bahr al-Qudrah, the Oceans of Power, like an atom. The whole ocean became black and from under the ocean fire erupted. A mighty power appeared, which does not even amount to an atom. It hit Japan, whose people were so arrogant about their technology, which was more advanced than that of America, England, and Europe. There appeared less than an atom from the Oceans of Power, and it attacked them and made them bankrupt, then all Shaytan’s efforts were bankrupt!

The Lord of Heavens says:

فَقَالَ أَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الْأَعْلَى

faqaala anaa rabbukum al-`alaa.
(Pharoah) saying, “I am your Lord Most High!” (An-Naziyat, 79:24)

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ

inna rabbaka fa`aalun limaa yureed.
Your Lord is the (sure) Accomplisher of what He plans. (al-Hud, 11:107)

It means, “You are my weak servants and I have absolute power over My Creation.” Then the whole world that was previously arrogant with their technologies will come down to the point of zero. Allahu Akbar! Amaan, yaa Rabbee (Safety O our Lord) ! Allah, Allah.

O People! Consider what has happened in just moments! A huge wave of power which was only like an atom was sent. If two waves had been sent, they would have overtaken the whole world like the flood of Noah (a). Take wisdom from this! Because of their arrogance, their Lord will teach them a lesson. This happened as a result of a small drop of power in that ocean. If it had been doubled it would have overtaken China, Siberia, and Russia up to the Atlantic Ocean, then also America and the whole world! A moment or two longer and the whole world would have been under the water of Divine Might!

All the countries are proud of their technologies and are dependent on them. Shaytan inspires them, “Look how well you can live with technology.” Now their ears have come down (in shame). If that event had lasted a second or two longer, pointed at the world, perhaps no living creatues on Earth would remain! The oceans might have become poisonous and a person may never like its color. (Take care, as) it may come a second time and finish (this world)!

O People! Beware and take a lesson from this event, that your Lord is fa`aalun limaa yureed, yuhiyy wa yumeet, He does what He likes. So keep your manners, leave fighting with each other, leave divisions among yourselves, or He will bring a situation where all countries and all of you will be covered with the dirtiest, blackest, poisonous water. If the single drop enters a person’s mouth, he will die, with no movement; from only a drop he is finished!

O People! Leave being enemies with each other. Allah (swt) said, kunoo `ibaadan, “Be servants.” Allah, Allah. Leave enmity with each other and be brothers. Don’t fight with each other. Try to give honor to your Lord’s orders, if you like to be happy here and Hereafter or else one day will come when an army will target you.

O People living on this planet! Be sincere servants of Allah and do not hurt each other or your reward will be like what He did to Japan and all of the countries. This is important. Allah Almighty might bring a punishment even more severe than that, as Judgment Day has drawn nearer. Allah (swt) is collecting all His servants under one rule, which will be between the ruler and Him!

O Lord! We ask for Your forgiveness and pleasure. Sultan sen! Subhaan sen! We are nothing!

O People! Leave Shaytan, and follow the path of peace and safety that Sayyidi ‘l-awwaleen wa ‘l-akhireen (s) has announced. Be with Allah, and don’t be with Shaytan. Yaa Rabbee! Yaa Allah! Yaa Rabbee! Yaa Allah! Send us a king who fights for Your sake and grant that we may become Your servants night and day, to honor Your orders. Yaa Rabbi ‘l-`Izzati wa ’l-Azhamat wa ‘l-Jabaroot!

Bi hurmati man anzalta `alayhi, Surati 'l-Fatihah. (MSN)

Erosion Control

Erosion control is the practice of preventing or controlling wind or water erosion in agriculture, land development, and construction. It usually involves the creation of some type of physical barrier, such as vegetation or rock, to absorb some of the energy of the wind or water causing the erosion. Some examples of erosion control methods are given below.
  1. Conservation tillage: It is used as a way to conserve soil and water resources as well as to mitigate the problems of erosion by tilling strips of soil for planting new crops and maintaining untilled portions of the land to serve as anchors for the soil.
  2. Contour plowing: In this farming technique, plowing is patterned according to the contours of a sloped region to prevent runoff and allow water retention in the land
  3. Terracing: This agricultural technique aids in planting along sleep slopes by breaking each slope into a series of slopes that are shorter and less steep, slowing down runoff and preventing water erosion.
  4. Cover crops: These are any surface crops planted annually, biennially, or perennially, in conjunction with other crops or alone. They last through a part of a year or even an entire year, preventing erosion of the soil by wind and water. Cover crops are used as a means of sustainable cropping, preventing weeds, and reducing the leaching of nutrients from the soil.
  5. Riprap and gabions: Riprap consists of rock or other material placed along a shore. It reduces shoreline erosion by protecting the land from the full impact of fast-flowing waves. Caged riprap structures are known as gabions.
  6. Hydroseeding: Also referred to as hydromulching, it is a quick, economical, and effective means of establishing ground cover by planting grass in large areas of exposed soil. The seeds are mixed together in a slurry of mulch and other essential fertilizers and sprayed uniformly across the soil, creating a favorable, nutrient rich environment for the germination and establishment of grass seedlings into the soil.
  7. Mulching: It is a process that uses mulch to cover and protect the soil from water erosion and to maintain moisture in the soil.
  8. Reforestation: This method of mitigating soil erosion consists of restoring forests and woodlands in areas that were once deforested or stripped of vegetation.
  9. Riparian strips: These are regions along a riverbank characterized by the growth of vegetation. They stabilize the soil and serve as natural controls against runoff and soil erosion.
  10. Strip farming: It is used in steep, sloping areas to prevent soil erosion. In strip farming, alternating row and more tightly grown crops are sown next to one another, to stabilize the soil and enhance water retention and percolation.
  11. Vegetated waterways: These are channels developed to stabilize and direct runoff in such a way as to reduce erosion.
  12. Wattle (construction): It is an organization of interwoven plant materials used as a fence, preventing sedimentation by runoff and erosion.
  13. Windbreaks: Also known as shelterbelts, they involve the planting of trees or shrubs along distinct parameters or in an arranged pattern to reduce erosion by wind. (NWE)

Erosion Processes

Gravity erosion

"Mass wasting" is the down-slope movement of rock and sediments, caused mainly by the force of gravity. Mass wasting is an important part of the erosion process, as it moves material from higher elevations to lower elevations, where transporting agents like streams and glaciers can pick up the material and move it further down. Mass-wasting processes occur continuously on all slopes. Some of these processes take place very slowly; others occur very suddenly, often with disastrous results.
Any perceptible down-slope movement of rock or sediment is often referred to in general terms as a "landslide." There are, however, more detailed ways of classifying landslides, reflecting the mechanisms responsible for the movement and the velocity at which the movement occurs. One visible topographical manifestation of a very slow type of landslide is a scree slope.
"Slumping" is a form of mass-wasting in which consolidated materials or rock layers move together a short distance down a slope. Slumping happens on steep hillsides, and often with materials like clay that, once released, may move rapidly downhill. The area left behind by the moving material often shows a spoon-shaped depression. In some cases, the slump is caused by water beneath the slope, weakening layers of rock above it. In many cases, it is simply the result of poor engineering along highways, where it is a regular occurrence.
"Surface creep" is the slow movement of soil and rock debris by gravity. It is usually not perceptible, except through extended observation. This term, however, is also used to describe the rolling of dislodged soil particles (0.5 to 1.0 mm in diameter) by wind along the soil surface.

Water erosion

"Splash erosion" is the detachment and airborne movement of small soil particles, caused by the impact of raindrops falling on the soil. "Sheet erosion" is the result of heavy rain on bare soil, where water flows as a sheet down a gradient, carrying soil particles. In any area where precipitation rates exceed the absorption and infiltration rates into the soil, runoff occurs. Surface runoff turbulence can often cause more erosion than the initial raindrop impact. "Gully erosion" occurs in places where water flows along a linear depression, eroding a trench or gully (a furrow in the soil that is more than one meter deep).

 "Valley" or "stream erosion" takes place with continued water flow along a linear feature. The erosion is both downward, deepening the valley, and headward, extending the valley into the hillside. In the earliest stage of stream erosion, the erosive activity is dominantly vertical, the valleys have a typical V-shaped cross-section, and the stream gradient is relatively steep. When some base level is reached, the erosive activity switches to lateral erosion, which widens the valley floor and creates a narrow floodplain. The stream gradient becomes nearly flat and lateral deposition of sediments becomes important as the stream meanders (twists and turns) across the valley floor. In all stages of stream erosion, by far the most erosion occurs during times of flood, when greater amounts and faster-moving water is available to carry a larger sediment load. In such processes, erosion is caused not only by water but also by suspended abrasive particles, such as pebbles and boulders, as they traverse the surface.
At extremely high rates of flow, kolks (underwater vortices) are formed by large volumes of rapidly rushing water. Kolks cause extreme local erosion, plucking bedrock and creating pothole-type geographical features. Examples can be seen in the flood regions that resulted from glacial activity at Glacial Lake Missoula, which created the channeled scablands in the Columbia basin region of eastern Washington state.

Shoreline erosion

Shoreline erosion, on both exposed and sheltered coasts, occurs primarily through the action of currents and waves, but sea level (tidal) changes can also play a role. When the sheer energy of a wave hitting a cliff or rock breaks pieces off, this is known as wave pounding. "Abrasion" or "corrasion" is caused by waves launching seaload at the cliff. It is the most effective and rapid form of shoreline erosion. (Corrasion should not to be confused with corrosion, or the dissolving of rock by carbonic acid in seawater. Limestone cliffs are particularly vulnerable to this type of erosion). Finally, "attrition" is where particles/seaload carried by the waves are worn down, as they strike one another and rock surfaces like cliffs, making the material easier to wash away.
Coastal erosion at Happisburgh, Norfolk, England

Sediment is transported along the coast in the direction of the prevailing current (known as "longshore drift"). Erosion occurs when the uptake of new sediment by the upcurrent is less than the amount being carried away. When the upcurrent amount of sediment is greater, sand or gravel banks will tend to form. These banks may slowly migrate along the coast in the direction of the longshore drift, alternately protecting and exposing parts of the coastline. Where there is a bend in the coastline, quite often a buildup of eroded material occurs, forming a long, narrow bank (or "spit"). Underwater sandbanks offshore may also protect parts of a coastline from erosion. Over the years, as the sandbanks gradually shift, the erosion may be redirected to impact different parts of the shore.

Ice erosion

Ice erosion is caused by the movement of ice, typically in the form of glaciers. As glaciers scrape down slopes, they break up rock and transport it, leaving moraines (accumulation of rock debris), drumlins (elongated hills or ridges), and glacial erratics (pieces of glacial residue) in their wake, typically at the glacial terminus or during glacial retreat.
"Ice wedging" is the weathering process in which water trapped in tiny cracks of rock freezes and expands, breaking the rock, allowing for gravity erosion on steep slopes. The scree that forms at the bottom of a steep mountainside is mostly formed from pieces of rock broken away by this means. It is a common engineering problem, wherever rock cliffs are alongside roads, because morning thaws can drop hazardous rock pieces onto the road.
In some places that are cold enough , water seeps into rocks during the daytime, then freezes at night. Ice expands, thus, creating a wedge in the rock. Over time, the repetition in the forming and melting of the ice causes fissures, which eventually breaks the rock down.

Wind erosion

Wind erosion, also known as "eolian erosion," is the movement of rock and sediment by wind. The wind causes dust particles to be lifted up, where they can be moved to other regions. Wind erosion generally occurs in areas with little or no vegetation, often in places where there is insufficient rainfall to support vegetation. An example is the formation of sand dunes on a beach or in a desert. Farmers often plant windbreaks to reduce wind erosion. This includes the planting of trees, shrubs, or other vegetation, usually perpendicular (or nearly so) to the principal wind direction.

Bioerosion

Bioerosion involves the erosion of hard ocean substrates by living organisms, utilizing a number of mechanisms. It can be caused by mollusks, polychaete worms, sponges, crustaceans, echinoids, and fish. It can occur on coastlines and coral reefs, and on the hulls of ships. Mechanisms of bioerosion include biotic boring, drilling, rasping, and scraping.
Bioerosion of coral reefs generates the fine and white coral sand characteristic of tropical islands. The coral is converted to sand by internal bioeroders such as algae, fungi, bacteria, sponges (Clionidae), bivalves (Lithophaga), sipunculans (Aspidosiphon), and polychaetes (Eunicidae), generating extremely fine sediment (10 to 100 micrometers in diameter). External bioeroders include urchins (Diadema) and chitons (Acanthopleura). The combination of these internal and external bioeroders results in a great deal of erosion. Sea urchin erosion of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) at some reefs has been reported to occur at annual rates exceeding 20 kg/m².
Fish also erode coral while eating algae. Parrotfish cause a great deal of bioerosion, as a result of their well developed jaw muscles and tooth armature, and a pharyngeal mill that grinds up ingested material into sand-sized particles

Tectonic effects of erosion

When erosion involves the removal of large amounts of rock from a particular region and its deposition elsewhere, it can lighten the load on the lower crust and mantle. This can cause tectonic or isostatic uplift in the region. Research undertaken since the early 1990s suggests that the spatial distribution of erosion at the surface of an orogen (mountain-forming belt of rock along a tectonic plate) can exert a key influence on its development and its final internal structure. (NWE)

Erosion

In geology and environmental science, erosion is the displacement of solids (soil, mud, rock and other particles) by the agents of wind, water, ice, or living organisms, or by down-slope movement in response to gravity. Erosion needs to be distinguished from weathering, although the two processes may be concurrent. Weathering refers to the decomposition of rock and minerals through processes involving no movement, that is, no physical removal of material.
Erosion is a natural process, moving material and nutrients from one place to another and converting rock into soil. Thus a certain degree of erosion is healthy for the ecosystem. Excessive erosion, however, can damage the ecosystem, such as by increased water sedimentation or the outright loss of soil.
In many places, erosion is heightened by human land use. Poor land-use practices include deforestation, overgrazing, unmanaged construction activity, and road or trail building. On the other hand, improved land-use practices can limit erosion, by techniques such as tree planting and terrace-building, or leveling of the land interrupting steep slopes

Causes

Erosion is governed by a combination of factors, including the amount and intensity of precipitation (particularly rain), soil texture, gradient of the slope, ground cover (from vegetation, rocks, and so forth), and land use. Of these, the main agent of erosion is rainfall.
In general, if one compares areas with the same degree of vegetative cover, erosion tends to be higher in areas with high-intensity precipitation, sandy or silty soils, and steep slopes. On the other hand, there is less erosion of soils with a higher content of clay, situated along lower slope gradients, and receiving less intense precipitation.
Among the factors listed above, the one most likely to change over time is the amount and type of ground cover. When fires burn an area, or when vegetation is removed during timber operations or house or road construction, a soil's susceptibility to erosion is greatly increased. Road construction can increase the rate of erosion because, in addition to removing vegetative ground cover, it can significantly alter drainage patterns. However, erosion is minimized if the road has a lot of rock and is "hydrologically invisible," that is, the water flows off the road as quickly as possible, mimicking natural drainage patterns.


Bank erosion started by four-wheeler, all-terrain vehicles in Yauhanna, South Carolina.
Changes in the type of vegetation in an area can also affect erosion rates. Different kinds of vegetation have an effect on the rates of infiltration of rain into the soil. Forested areas can take up water at higher rates, so precipitation there results in less surface runoff, and subsequently, less erosion of surface materials. In these areas, much of the water goes into subsurface flows, which are generally less erosive. Leaf litter and low shrubs also contribute to the high infiltration rates of forested systems, and removing them can lead to an increase in erosion rates. Leaf litter also shelters the soil from the impact of falling raindrops, which is a significant agent of erosion. Vegetation can also change the speed of surface runoff flows, so the presence of grasses and shrubs plays an important role in this respect as well.
Many human activities, such as logging and heavy grazing by livestock, can reduce an area's vegetation, making the soil more susceptible to increased erosion. One of the main causes of erosive soil loss in the year 2006 was the result of "slash-and-burn" treatment of tropical forests. When the total ground surface is stripped of vegetation and seared of all living organisms, the upper soils are vulnerable to erosion by both wind and water. In a number of regions of the world, entire sectors of a country have been rendered unproductive. For example, on the Madagascar high central plateau, constituting approximately 10 percent of that country's land area, virtually the entire landscape is sterile of vegetation, with gully erosive furrows scattered along the landscape—typically more than 50 meters deep and one kilometer wide. Shifting cultivation is a farming system that sometimes incorporates the slash-and-burn method in some regions of the world.
When land is overused by human and animal activities, there can be mechanical erosion as well as removal of vegetation, leading to erosion. In the case of animals, one sees this effect primarily with large herd stampedes, such as the Blue Wildebeest on the Serengeti plain. Even in this case, there are broader material benefits to the ecosystem, such as continuing the survival of grasslands indigenous to that region. This effect may be viewed as a problem only when there is a significant imbalance or overpopulation of one species.
In the case of human use, the effects are also generally linked to overpopulation. For example, when large numbers of hikers use the same trails, or when there is extensive off-roading by vehicles, erosive effects often follow, arising from vegetation removal and furrowing of the soil. These effects can also accumulate from a variety of outdoor human activities, again arising from too many people using a finite land resource.
One of the most serious and long-running water erosion problems worldwide is in China, around the middle reaches of the Yellow River and the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. From the Yellow River, over 1.6 billion tons of sediment flow into the ocean each year. The sediment originates primarily from water erosion in the Loess Plateau region of northwest China.

Estimating erosion
The Americans have, for almost fifty years, pioneered a soil erosion estimating system which requires the farmer to comply with required soil management techniques, if he wishes to continue receiving government support. The Food Securities Act of 1985 requires that farmers apply conservation measures to remain eligible to participate in certain government programmes.
The erosion risk (A=annual soil loss) is calculated from a number of factors that have been measured for all climates, soil types, topography and kinds of land used in the USA. This technique helps to predict erosion and shows farmers which farming methods to use. It also identifies erosion-sensitive areas.
The factors are combined in a number of formulas of the 'Universal Soil Loss Equation', which returns a single number, the tolerance factor, equivalent to predicted erosion in ton/ha: A = RKLSCP , where:
  • A = Average annual soil loss: the predicted erosion or tolerance factor in ton/ha, calculated from all others.
  • R = Rainfall erosivity factor: a factor dependent on climate and likelihood of extreme events.
  • K = Soil erodibility factor: an estimate made from soil properties as catalogued in the National Resources Inventory. It depends on the particle sizes and proportions of sand, silt and clay, organic matter, granularity and profile permeability to water.
  • L = Slope length factor: the slope length is the length of the field in a down-slope direction. The larger slope length, the more water accumulates at the bottom of the field, increasing erosion. It also depends on the land's slope.
  • S = Slope steepness factor: calculated from the slope of the land in %.
  • C = Cover management factor: depends on crop growth rate in relation to the erosivity variation in the climate (?).
  • P = Supporting practice factor: reflects the use of contours, strip cropping and terracing.
A ‘tolerance factor’ ( ton/ha/yr) is aimed for, which is still much larger than natural soil formation, but which does not appear to affect productivity. If the tolerance factor exceeds sustainability of productivity, different cover management practices or supporting practices are selected and enforced. It is hoped that where no erosion estimating system is available, farmers and land owners, consider the above factors in the ways they manage their soils. Remember that sustainability of cropland is very difficult to attain. (NWE)
