WHEN African-Americans go to the polls next week, they are likely to support Barack Obama at a level approaching the 95 percent share of the black vote he received in 2008. As well they should, given the symbolic exceptionalism of his presidency and the modern Republican Party's utter disregard for economic justice, civil rights and the social safety net.
But for those who had seen in President Obama's election the culmination of four centuries of black hopes and aspirations and the realization of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s vision of a "beloved community," the last four years must be reckoned a disappointment. Whether it ends in 2013 or 2017, the Obama presidency has already marked the decline, rather than the pinnacle, of a political vision centered on challenging racial inequality. The tragedy is that black elites — from intellectuals and civil rights leaders to politicians and clergy members — have acquiesced to this decline, seeing it as the necessary price for the pride and satisfaction of having a black family in the White House.
These are not easy words to write. Mr. Obama's expansion of health insurance coverage was the most significant social legislation since the Great Society, his stimulus package blunted much of the devastation of the Great Recession, and the Dodd-Frank financial overhaul added major new protections for consumers. His politics would seem to vindicate the position of civil rights-era leaders like Bayard Rustin, who argued that blacks should form coalitions with other Democratic constituencies in support of universal, race-neutral policies — in opposition to activists like Malcolm X, who distrusted party politics and believed that blacks would be better positioned to advance their interests as an independent voting bloc, beholden to neither party.
But the triumph of "post-racial" Democratic politics has not been a triumph for African-Americans in the aggregate. It has failed to arrest the growing chasm of income and wealth inequality; to improve prospects for social and economic mobility; to halt the re-segregation of public schools and narrow the black-white achievement gap; and to prevent the Supreme Court from eroding the last vestiges of affirmative action. The once unimaginable successes of black diplomats like Colin L. Powell, Condoleezza Rice and Susan E. Rice and of black chief executives like Ursula M. Burns, Kenneth I. Chenault and Roger W. Ferguson Jr. cannot distract us from facts like these: 28 percent of African-Americans, and 37 percent of black children, are poor (compared with 10 percent of whites and 13 percent of white children); 13 percent of blacks are unemployed (compared with 7 percent of whites); more than 900,000 black men are in prison; blacks experienced a sharper drop in income since 2007 than any other racial group; black household wealth, which had been disproportionately concentrated in housing, has hit its lowest level in decades; blacks accounted, in 2009, for 44 percent of new H.I.V. infections.
Mr. Obama cannot, of course, be blamed for any of these facts. It's no secret that Republican obstruction has limited his options at every turn. But it's disturbing that so few black elites have aggressively advocated for those whom the legal scholar Derrick A. Bell called the "faces at the bottom of the well."
The prophetic tradition of speaking truth to power, regardless of political winds or social pressures, has a long history. Ida B. Wells risked her life to publicize the atrocity of lynching; W. E. B. Du Bois linked the struggle against racial injustice to anticolonial movements around the world; Cornel West continues to warn of the "giant triplets of racism, materialism and militarism" that King identified a year before his death.
But that prophetic tradition is on the wane. Changes in black religious practice have played a role. Great preachers of social justice and liberation theology, like Gardner C. Taylor, Samuel DeWitt Proctor, John Hurst Adams, Wyatt Tee Walker and Joseph E. Lowery, have retired or passed away. Taking their place are megachurch preachers of a "gospel of prosperity" — like Creflo A. Dollar Jr., T. D. Jakes, Eddie L. Long and Frederick K. C. Price — who emphasize individual enrichment rather than collective uplift. "There's more facing us than social justice," Bishop Jakes has said. "There's personal responsibility."
Mr. Obama hasn't embraced this new gospel, but as a candidate he did invoke the politics of respectability once associated with Booker T. Washington. He urged blacks to exhibit the "discipline and fortitude" of their forebears. He lamented that "too many fathers are M.I.A." He chided some parents for "feeding our children junk all day long, giving them no exercise." He distanced himself from his former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., whose incendiary remarks about racism's legacy caused a maelstrom.
But as president, Mr. Obama has had little to say on concerns specific to blacks. His State of the Union address in 2011 was the first by any president since 1948 to not mention poverty or the poor. The political scientist Daniel Q. Gillion found that Mr. Obama, in his first two years in office, talked about race less than any Democratic president had since 1961. From racial profiling to mass incarceration to affirmative action, his comments have been sparse and halting.
Early in his presidency, Mr. Obama weighed in after the prominent black Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. was arrested at his home in Cambridge, Mass. The president said the police had "acted stupidly," was criticized for rushing to judgment, and was mocked when he invited Dr. Gates and the arresting officer to chat over beers at the White House. It wasn't until earlier this year that Mr. Obama spoke as forcefully on a civil rights matter — the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager, Trayvon Martin, in Florida — saying, "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon."
INSTEAD of urging Mr. Obama to be more outspoken on black issues, black elites parrot campaign talking points. They dutifully praise important but minor accomplishments — the settlement of a longstanding class-action lawsuit by black farmers; increased funds for black colleges; the reduction (but not elimination) of the disparities in sentences for possession of crack and powder cocaine — while setting aside their critical acumen.
For some, criticism of Mr. Obama is disloyal. "Stick together, black people," the radio host Tom Joyner has warned. (Another talk show host, Tavis Smiley, joined Dr. West on a "poverty tour" last year, but has been less critical of the president than Dr. West has.)
It wasn't always so. Though Bill Clinton was wildly popular among blacks, black intellectuals fiercely debated affirmative action, mass incarceration, welfare reform and racial reconciliation during his presidency. In 2001, the Harvard law professor Charles J. Ogletree called the surge in the inmate population "shocking and regrettable" and found it "shameful" that Mr. Clinton "didn't come out and take a more positive and symbolic approach to the issue of reparations for slavery." But Mr. Ogletree, a mentor of Mr. Obama's, now finds "puzzling the idea that a president who happens to be black has to focus on black issues."
Melissa V. Harris-Perry, a political scientist at Tulane who hosts a talk show for MSNBC, warned in 2005 that African-Americans "who felt most warmly toward Clinton and most trusting of his party's commitment to African-Americans" were in danger of underestimating "the continued economic inequality of African-Americans relative to whites." But she has become all but an apologist for Mr. Obama. "No matter what policies he pursues, the president's racialized embodiment stands as a symbol of triumphant black achievement," she wrote in The Nation this month.
Black politicians, too, have held their fire. "With 14 percent unemployment if we had a white president we'd be marching around the White House," Representative Emanuel Cleaver II of Missouri, the chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, told The Root last month. "The president knows we are going to act in deference to him in a way we wouldn't to someone white."
Some of the reticence stems from fear. "If we go after the president too hard, you're going after us," Representative Maxine Waters, a California Democrat, told a largely black audience in Detroit last year.

But caution explains only so much. Representative John Lewis of Georgia, one of King's last living disciples, has not used his moral stature to criticize the president's silence about the poor. Neither have leaders of the biggest civil rights organizations, like Benjamin Todd Jealous of the N.A.A.C.P., Marc H. Morial of the National Urban League or Wade Henderson of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, whether because of emotional allegiance or pragmatic accommodation.
The two black governors elected since Reconstruction — L. Douglas Wilder of Virginia and Deval L. Patrick of Massachusetts — have also de-emphasized race. So, too, have the new cadre of black politicians who serve largely black constituencies, like Mayor Cory A. Booker of Newark, Mayor Michael A. Nutter of Philadelphia and Representative Terri Sewell of Alabama — all of whom, like Mr. Obama, have Ivy League degrees and rarely discuss the impact of racism on contemporary black life.
Some argue that de-emphasizing race — and moving to a "colorblind" politics — is an inevitable and beneficial byproduct of societal change. But this ideal is a myth, even if it's nice to hear. As Frederick Douglass observed, "Power concedes nothing without a demand." The political scientist E. E. Schattschneider noted that conflict was essential to agenda-setting. Other interest groups — Tea Party activists, environmentalists, advocates for gay and lesbian rights, supporters of Israel and, most of all, rich and large corporations — grasp this insight. Have African-Americans forgotten it?
IN making this case, I have avoided speculation about Mr. Obama's psychology and background — his biracial heritage, his transnational childhood, his community organizing, his aversion to being seen as "angry," his canny ability to navigate multiple worlds, his talent at engaging with politics while appearing detached from it. As a social scientist I keep returning to the question: What is the best strategy for black communities to pursue their political interests as a whole?
Were Harold Cruse, the author of the unsparing 1967 book "The Crisis of the Negro Intellectual," still alive, he would despair at the state of black intellectual life. Eddie S. Glaude Jr., a professor of religion and African-American studies at Princeton, told me: "Too many black intellectuals have given up the hard work of thinking carefully in public about the crisis facing black America. We have either become cheerleaders for President Obama or self-serving pundits."
There are exceptions. Writing in the journal Daedalus last year, the Harvard philosopher Tommie Shelby called Mr. Obama's approach "a pragmatic strategy for navigating hazardous racial waters" that might improve lives for poor minorities. But he added: "Judged alongside King's transformative vision of racial equality and integration, Obama's philosophy is morally deficient and uninspiring."
Mr. Obama deserves the electoral support — but not the uncritical adulation — of African-Americans. If re-elected he might surprise us by explicitly emphasizing economic and racial justice and advocating "targeted universalism" — job-training and housing programs that are open to all, but are concentrated in low-income, minority communities. He would have to do this in the face of fiscal crisis and poisonous partisanship.
Amid such rancor, African-Americans might come to realize that the idea of having any politician as a role model is incompatible with accountability, the central tenet of representative democracy. By definition, role models are placed on pedestals and emulated, not criticized or held accountable.
To place policy above rhetoric is not to ask what the first black president is doing for blacks; rather, it is to ask what a Democratic president is doing for the most loyal Democratic constituency — who happen to be African-Americans, and who happen to be in dire need of help. Sadly, when it comes to the Obama presidency and black America, symbols and substance have too often been assumed to be one and the same.

Forum Post: Bradley Manning acquitted of aiding enemy, still may face long jail term
Posted 6 years ago on July 31, 2013, 12:57 a.m. EST by GirlFriday
This content is user submitted and not an official statement
A military judge on Tuesday found U.S. soldier Bradley Manning not guilty of aiding the enemy, the most serious charge he faced for handing over documents to WikiLeaks, but he still likely faces a long jail term after being found guilty of all 19 other counts.
Colonel Denise Lind ruled the 25-year-old Army private first class was guilty of five espionage charges, among many others, for the largest unauthorized release of classified U.S. data in the nation's history. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-bradley-manning-verdict-20130730,0,5272878.story

WASHINGTON DC – The International Helicopter Safety Team (www.IHST.org), in cooperation with safety experts from throughout the civil helicopter industry, has developed a new safety bulletin which offers pilots a thorough look at the importance of precautionary landings.
The new Safety Bulletin examines the perceptions behind precautionary landings and the concern that pilots have about this type of action. "Many pilots have perceptional fears for discontinuing a flight, and they fail to focus on the negative consequences of continuing a flight under frail conditions. In certain scenarios, these false perceptions can be a strong influencer over better pilot judgment. A number of perceptional fears may cause a pilot to press on, rather than to discontinue by executing a precautionary landing in response to unexpected conditions."
The Safety Bulletin also discusses the decision-making process by a helicopter pilot for making a precautionary landing, i.e., what type of scenario would prompt a pilot to land immediately; what conditions would trigger a landing as soon as possible; and what issues would make a pilot consider to land as soon as practical. The document also highlights the conflicting issue of "deciding to land" versus "reacting to land."
The IHST promotes safety and works to reduce accidents. The organization was formed in 2005 to lead a government and industry cooperative effort to address factors that were affecting an unacceptable helicopter accident rate. Prior to 2006, the number of worldwide civil helicopter accidents was rising at a rate of 2.5 percent per year. Since 2006, the number of accidents worldwide has been decreasing by an annual rate of 2 percent. More information about the IHST, its reports, safety tools, and presentations can be obtained at its web site at www.IHST.org and on the IHST Facebook page.

Who invented the wheel? Nobody knows for sure, but we're sure that as soon as wheels appeared, kids appeared to play with them. No child can resist the appeal of the wheel: toy cars, toy trucks, toy trains, toy helicopters! If it rolls or spins, soon enough, a kid will be there to push it along, perhaps muttering "vroom, vroom" as he goes. read more
Our Planes, Trains, & Automobiles department separates toy vehicles into toys that roll, toys that fly (or pretend-fly), and toys that run on rails. Toy Cars & Toy Trucks are an essential component for every playroom, especially one belonging to a little boy! And wooden cars are some of our favorites: we love the Automoblox and Ready Set Go cars from Manhattan Toy.
For heavier play machinery, it doesn't get any better than Bruder, whose beautifully detailed toy trucks and construction vehicles have been rolling out of Germany for nearly a century. Can you imagine a kid who wouldn't love having his own working cement mixer? We certainly can't. If your inclinations run towards the eco-friendly, ply your eco-kid with toy trucks, toy buses, and fire trucks from Green Toys – these tough, chunky little trucks are made in the USA from recycled materials.
For vehicles that defy gravity, we've got working helicopters from Spin Master and collectible die-cast sets from Daron. And our selection of remote control vehicles will thrill children both large and small – how about building your own?
And finally, of course, there are the trains, which may have the most fanatical fans of all. Does your child prefer Thomas the Tank Engine or Chuggington? Your child will adore these wooden trains – he'll roll them, link them, build tracks for them, hug them, kiss them, and maybe even sleep with them. High-quality materials and construction ensure that his toy trains and train tracks will last through years of heavy-duty play.
Are you ready to roll? Explore our toy vehicle selection and get your child on the right track. show less

Republican crocodile tears flowed this weekend in Orange County as a group of city officials called F.I.S.T. – "Fight Insane State Theft" – comprised of 14 Orange County mayors and 42 city council members, nearly all of them Republicans – protested Republican Governor Schwarzenegger's plan to take away billions in state property tax revenue from their cities.
According to the Orange County Register, the group held a rally this past weekend in Placentia, joined by an array of Republican front organizations posing as anti-tax crusaders, including Citizens for a Better Placentia, Fullerton Association of Concerned Taxpayers, and Yorba Linda Residents for Responsible Representation.
The Register notes that the protesters are "particularly concerned about losing funds for roads and other transportation projects."
But it is the Republicans themselves – and their corporate funded anti-tax allies – who are themselves directly responsible for giving the state the power to take away property tax revenue from California cities.
Prior to 1978, local governments in California (as elsewhere in the nation) could set their own property tax rates and spend the money that they raised on local needs.
But the Republicans did not trust local governments or local voters with the power to tax local property or to spend that revenue as they thought appropriate.
So they decided to give the state the sole power to set property taxes and to give the state legislature the sole power to decide how that money would be spent.
Prop 13 took away the cities' power to set property tax rates or levy property taxes, and gave all such power to the state — where it would be subject to Prop 13's strict limits and the 2/3 rule – in other words, subject to the statewide anti-tax minority's veto, regardless of the wishes or needs of local officials or voters.
Now our local Republican elected officials and Republican anti-tax front groups are outraged about "losing funds for roads and other transportation projects" — which, by the way, tend to benefit large landowners and developers more than local citizens — because the state wants to spend that money elsewhere.
This latest instance of Orange County Republican hypocrisy reminds me of an exchange from Samuel Beckett's play Waiting for Godot:
Estragon: We've no rights any more?
Laugh of Vladimir, stifled as before, less the smile.
Vladimir: You'd make me laugh if it wasn't prohibited.
Estragon: We've lost our rights?
Vladimir: (distinctly). We got rid of them.
So I ask our Orange County Republicans: Having given up our rights, are you now ready to amend Prop 13 to return the property tax power to local governments and local voters?

So before I destroy all the matrix, could somebody tell me what's i'm doing wrong?
I did get some RGB LEDs from ebay and I found that about three of the batch of 50 burnt out with only a few mA going through them. I also found that the red was rather dim on all but one of the LEDs. I think that some LEDs you get on ebay are actually from the reject bin.
I'll retry with a 1K resistor and keep you informed but basically that's what I did with the 27K so I'm a bit confused.

Ultra-violent murder in Grand Junction may have been hate crime
The landlady at the apartment building at 246 Belford Ave. in Grand Junction unlocked and opened the door to unit 6.
Clyde Peterman was in his bathtub, fully dressed. But that's not what was the most startling factor about the scene.
Peterman was dead.
Blood drops, smears, pools and spray told the story about how the 45-year-old man was killed, and what happened afterwards.
There was blood spatter on the walls of his small apartment.
There was blood on an object found on the floor of the kitchen. It appeared that it could be the murder weapon.
Blood had pooled where police believe he died on the kitchen floor.
Blood drops on the kitchen floor trailed through the living room and into the bathroom, indicating Peterman had been beaten to death, then carried into his bathroom.
But why?
When police first investigated this case in the days and weeks following the discovery of Peterman's body on March 19, 1979, the question of motive puzzled them more than anything.
What drove the killer to take the life of this quiet, peaceful, friendly former librarian was difficult to pinpoint.
The man read a lot in his apartment and kept to himself most of the time.
Not many people in the Western slope city knew the newcomer at all.
Finding the person who wanted to kill him in so violent a manner was even more difficult. It remains a mystery 35 years later.

About those intelligence briefings…
One of the more recent lines of attack against President Obama is that he's scaled back in-person daily intelligence briefings. Dick Cheney is feigning outrage, and the criticism is at the center of a new column from the Washington Post's Marc Thiessen, a former Bush speechwriter.
Putting aside credibility questions involving Cheney and Thiessen, and overlooking the jaw-dropping irony of Bushies stressing intelligence briefings in light of recent revelations, is it possible these criticisms have some merit?
At first blush, it hardly seems unreasonable to think a sitting president, during a war and with facing frequent threats, would want to participate in daily intelligence briefings. And yet, conservative activists, relying on Obama's publicly-available schedules, insist that the president skips more than half of these meetings.
So, maybe Cheney and Thiessen have a point? Actually, no. Jonathan Capehart has a good piece on this.
The president reads the daily intelligence briefing every day. That he doesn't meet with his national security staff to discuss it isn't earth shattering when you know that many of the president's national security meetings are never put on his public schedule.
"I'd note that these are hardly the only national security meetings he has each week that include an intelligence briefing," National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor told me via e-mail this morning. When I asked him if he were able to tell me exactly how many national security meetings Obama has during the week, Vietor unsurprisingly replied, "I'm not."
For Cheney and Thiessen, both of whom probably know better but hope to take a cheap shot on 9/11, the notion that Obama skips in-person national security briefings is outrageous. It's not – Obama still gets written daily reports, still gets national security information every day, and still has all kinds of intelligence briefings we know nothing about. The controversy, if one wants to call it that, is weak, even by Republican standards.
Thiessen boasted in his column that, unlike that rascally Obama, Bush "almost never missed his daily intelligence meeting." How nice for him. But given that Bush, in at least one occasion a month before 9/11, responded to a daily briefing, "All right. You've covered your ass, now," it's more important to consider how a president handles the intelligence, not how many meetings we think he may or may not be attending.

Holiday Outdoor Decorating Tips from Mariani Landscape

- 1 of 15
Want to make the exterior of your home just as classically welcoming with holiday cheer as your interior? We turned to Chicago's award-winning firm Mariani Landscape for tips on giving your home's landscape a festive, timeless look you'll love.
All tips and images courtesy of Mariani Landscape.
Highlight Your Yard's Natural Beauty
Illumination of a solitary tree in the landscape can make a subtle and elegant statement. The Mariani firm suggests highlighting the natural structure of the tree with intricate branch wrapping. Be careful not to disturb spring blooming branches. Create a pathway of light that leads to your front door.
Utilize Summer Planting Pots
In colder climates, it's important to remove your summer or fall plants and soil from your outdoor pots. If the pots are weatherproof, the holidays are a great time to fill them with cut evergreen boughs, branches and berries. Look around your yard and use found items such as pine, boxwood, yew, and holly, or try dried hydrangea flowers and seedpods. A winter display arrangement adds the finishing touch to your garden and looks beautiful under a light dusting of snow.
Dress Up the Doorway
Use live trees to dress up your front entrance. Smaller specimens, such as Frasier fir and Alberta spruce, are readily available in potted containers. Slip the tree into your existing pots and cover the edges with evergreen boughs. When the season is over, you will have a beautiful evergreen for that perfect spot in your garden—thus multiplying your investment.
Give Guests a Welcoming First Impression
Create an inviting holiday mailbox—a pretty swag of pine tied on with wire adds a seasonal flourish. Enhance it with red accents and pinecones.
Customize Outdoor Arrangements
With a foundation of noble, Frasier and silver fir, you can build a custom pot. Try installing it early in the season and changing a few elements to give it a different feel. Add pheasant feathers, birch branches and gourds for an early start at Thanksgiving and then switch it out. Add winterberry and holly for a traditional statement to take you through Christmas, and then adorn it with white lights and silver glitter sprays for New Year's.
Natural Beauty
Natural materials are the easiest to work with for an exterior display. Embellishments such as holly, berries, or small ornaments, add a punch of color. A bright red velvet bow on a fir wreath is a classic we love.
Go with Garlands
When the long nights of winter arrive, fresh evergreen garland draped on a front porch creates a traditional, polished look. When lit with white lights, the garland creates a festive welcome.
Think Outside the Box
While looking at the architecture of your house, consider a non-traditionally shaped wreath, such as a square boxwood wreath adorned with faux fruit and berries, and hang it on an angle. Sometimes this twist can bridge the season from Thanksgiving to Christmas and on into the New Year. A simple boxwood wreath with a blue or silver satin ribbon would be a welcoming Hanukkah touch.
Bust Out the Benches
Put a bench to work on the off-season: Give it holiday spirit with an arrangement of holiday greenery, pinecones, gazing balls, and ornaments. Look around your garden for small spaces to stage a winter display. A basket of pinecones with cut boxwood will not only dress up an empty bench, but will also help you complete your gardening chores for the season.
Spice Things Up with Variety
Fill winter containers with evergreens, branches, berries, lights, seedpods, dried hydrangea blooms, and dried eucalyptus.
Go Beyond the Green
Take the inside out. Use dried flowers and fruits from your interior décor to decorate wreaths and swags on the outside of your home. Put dried seedpods and flower heads to good use in your holiday decorating. Along with dried hydrangeas, pomegranate, oranges, lemons, and limes are all great materials as well as faux fruits, such as apples and pears.
Revive Old Favorites
Recycle and upcycle! Older holiday decorations can be given new life outside with small sprays of evergreens, berries and beautiful ribbon. Found objects like antlers, vintage skis, or snowshoes embellished with evergreens boughs and winterberries can also create festive scenes.
What a View!
Window boxes are the perfect place to add holiday greenery, which are visible from inside during the day and illuminated from the interior lights after the sun goes down.

3 reasons why journalists could make good entrepreneurs
- Expertise: The very practice of journalism requires knowledge of a space other than journalism. Other than writing and reporting. And if there's something a reporter doesn't know, they learn about it.
- Hustle: This one really goes without saying.
- Contacts: Journalists have the right to ask anyone any question, at any time. (Whether they respond is another story entirely.) Through it all, journalists develop great rolodexes, and if they're good, respect — and a good working relationship — from and among their readers and sources.
I put out a call within my network, asking why they thought reporters could be good entrepreneurs. I got one answer: "Journalists can make great entrepreneurs. Our skill sets are tuned to detect and address relevant problems," says Jason Goodrich, a former editor at the Chicago Tribune and now CEO of Shortlist. "We get to the 'why' by talking with people and analyzing the data. Maybe above all else, journalists tend to possess the right mix of idealism, skepticism and determination to bring useful ideas to life."
Not surprisingly, Goodrich also thinks there's a learning curve. "However, being a journalist does not qualify you for startup life," he said. "Entrepreneurship is about building a sustainable business. Let's just say that there's a lot of math involved."
Just something to think about.
What do you think? What are some reasons YOU think journalists could make good entrepreneurs? Do you have any examples of entrepreneurship within your newsrooms? Please leave your thoughts as comments below!

Huzur recited verses 64 to 77 of Surah Al Furqan and gave a discourse on the distinctive qualities of Ebaadur Rahman (servants of the Gracious God). The translation of the verses is as follows:
'And the servants of the Gracious God are those who walk on the earth in a dignified manner, and when the ignorant address them, they say, 'Peace!'
And who spend the night before their Lord, prostrate and standing,
And who say, 'Our Lord, avert from us the punishment of Hell; for the punishment thereof is a lasting torment.
'It is indeed evil as a place of rest and as an abode;'
And those who, when they spend, are neither extravagant nor niggardly but moderate between the two;
And those who call not on any other God along with Allah, nor kill a person that Allah has forbidden except for just cause, nor commit fornication, and he who does that shall meet with the punishment of sin.
Doubled to him will be the punishment on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein disgraced,
Except those who repent, and believe and do good deeds; for as to these, Allah will change their evil deeds into good deeds; and Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful;
And those who repent and do good deeds, indeed turn to Allah with true repentance;
And those who bear not false witness, and when they pass by anything vain, they pass on with dignity;
And those who, when they are reminded of the Signs of their Lord, fall not deaf and blind thereat;
And those who say, 'Our Lord, grant us of our spouses and children the delight of our eyes, and make each of us a leader of the righteous.
It is such as will be rewarded a lofty station in Paradise because they were steadfast, and they will be received therein with greeting and peace,
Abiding therein. Excellent it is as a place of rest and as an abode.' (25:64-77)
Huzur said Ramadan came and went and he is still receiving letters written during and indeed after Ramadan. In these letters people are prayerful that may the pure changes they were able to attain during Ramadan become constant in their lives. Huzur said such feelings are the very objective of Ramadan. He said that God has related certain characteristics in the Holy Qur'an by adopting which one can be called Ebaadur Rahman. These put individual and communal responsibilities on us as well as draw attention to honouring God's dues. If we continue to tread the path that we espoused during Ramadan, we will attain God's pleasure.
The first distinct characteristic of servants of the Gracious God is that they walk on the earth with humility and dignity. They are not possessed of pointless strictness or anger or unnecessary leniency that may lead to dishonourableness. Huzur said attention is drawn to this matter on an individual as well as collective basis. It is foretold that servants of the Gracious God will be triumphant but in their triumph they will not be arrogant and will not settle old scores. Rather, they will be humble and meek and will honour the dues of others.
The second distinction of servants of the Gracious God is that each individual is of peaceable nature and counsels others gently. The humility and collective dignity that is adopted in accordance with the first commandment/characteristic should be abided by when one is in power. Otherwise, Satan is constantly waylaying us. It is for us to keep our emotions in check and try and follow the blessed model of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) and his Companions.
Huzur said these days Ahmadis are harassed and persecuted in some countries, in particular in Pakistan. It is so attempted that somehow the Ahmadis take the law in their own hands so that they can be legally persecuted. However, we are enjoined not to respond to filth with filth for this can lead to further difficulties. Huzur said the current situation is such that his message to Ahmadis is to become servants of the Gracious God. It is prophesised that theirs will be the upper hand. When in power, they should be most sensitive to the sentiments of others. In Pakistan different ways are used to provoke the Ahmadis. Many schemes are being hatched. It is required to exercise great caution and seek God's help with steadfastness and prayer and thus contend with the situation. The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said that servants of the Gracious God are those aficionados who are forbearing and who wish peace to the ignorant. Huzur added, indeed, we are dealing with extreme ignorance. The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said that servants of the Gracious God pray for the ignorant rather than be abusive to them. Indeed, the Gracious God, by virtue of His quality of graciousness, grants to one and all. His expansive blessing encompasses the good and the bad. In emulating, we too, should try and be kind to friend and foe alike and pray for guidance.
The third distinctive feature of the servants of the Gracious God stated in the verses is that they spend their night prostrating and standing before their Lord. Huzur said a large number people put this in practice during Ramadan. However, God does not state to limit this practice to a few days, rather it is for always. Huzur said it is a huge responsibility on the Ahmadis, particularly during the current times as they face difficulties in all Muslim countries. No only should attention be given to Fardh (obligatory) Salat but also to optional Salat during night. Huzur said waking up during night to worship God is suppressing the self. May our sincere worship during night become the cause of protecting the Community from difficulties. Therefore, waking up at night for Prayers should not be simply for personal reasons. Huzur said if each Ahmadi made it essential on him/herself to offer two optional rakat every night, God's help would be forthcoming more than before and the enemy would be disgraced. Huzur expounded the excellence of optional Prayers with Hadith that relates that God states one who offers these Prayers receives His love and nearness to the extent that, 'I become his hearing with which he hears, his eyes with which he sees, his hands with which he touches and his feet with which he walks'. End of Ramadan does not mean that one stays up till late in the night indulging in frivolous pursuits, disregarding Salat. Huzur said Salat teaches us the ways and means of becoming a servant of the Gracious God and we should adorn our nights with these. The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them all) truly honoured the dues of Salat and thus brought about a revolution. Even when they were forced into battle during the day, they would awaken at night to offer the optional Prayers. As long as this practice was prevalent among Muslims, they progressed. Today, the Ahmadis should adopt this way and profusely pray for their progress.
The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said that no religion can function without spirituality and purity. When the early Muslims accepted Islam they went through amazing transformation. Religion succeeds when its followers have holy qualities. Huzur said we wish for our Community to rapidly traverse progress and for our difficulties to also be removed quickly. We should then find a heavenly antidote. This, of course is attained by submitting oneself to God. May God enable us to do this.
The fourth distinct quality of the servants of the Gracious God is that they pray to remain distant from Hell. This includes the Hell of the Hereafter and the hell on earth. Huzur said we should pray that God saves us from disgrace in this world and the Hereafter and may He not make us a slave to this world and may our concerns about our off spring be also removed.
The fifth characteristic of the servants of the Gracious God is that they are not spendthrifts. They are not wasteful regarding their own wealth or that of the community. An example of personal extravagance that seems to be on the increase is lavish spending on weddings. This is mostly done in imitation. Receptions are held for the wedding, the Walima and now also for the mehndi ceremony. Separate cards are printed for the mehndi and a reception is held. Huzur said if mehndi must be celebrated, friends of the bride should gather to have some fun. A new tradition seems to be that the groom's family also holds a pre-wedding reception in the name of festivities. This is wrong and is a harmful innovation. Some families although well-versed in religious matters also indulge in this. Those who do not partake of these matters - and one should always assume in good light that they shun them due to piety – are branded miserly. Some families travel to Pakistan for weddings and they overspend on jewellery and receptions. The money spent on these matters can be of so much use to the disadvantaged, can be used to support orphans and can be spent on many other good causes which can make one a servant of the Gracious God.
The sixth distinct feature of the servants of the Gracious God is that they are not miserly and niggardly. Huzur said there are those who do everything simply to accumulate money, so much so that they do not even spend on their personal needs. They do not help out family and friends, do not give to the poor or have the spirit to contribute to the Community. If the affluent do not spend they can not be servants of the Gracious God. Indeed, the servants of the Gracious God spend and desist from over-spending for the pleasure of God.
The seventh distinction of the servants of the Gracious God is that they totally avoid shirk (associating partners with God). The shirk that is referred to in conjunction with the servants of the Gracious God is not merely the apparent shirk. Rather, it is the manner in which they discharge of all their responsibilities and dues and keep a meticulous eye that nothing they do is a basis of hidden/concealed shirk.
The eighth quality of the servants of the Gracious God is they do not unjustly kill. Huzur said the battles that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) and his Companions and later the Rightly Guided Khulafa Khulafa e Rashideen (may Allah be pleased them all) fought were fought firmly on taqwa and due to the enemy exceeding all limits. Indeed, these battles were fought within the strict guidelines of the rules of warfare in Islam which safeguard the innocent. Unlike the havoc created in WWII, for example, or the current-day air-borne attacks that kill indiscriminately. Huzur said there are also those who presume themselves to be servants of the Gracious God but commit murder of the innocent through suicide attacks. It is God's decree that they can never be servants of the Gracious God.
The ninth characteristic of the servants of the Gracious God is that they do not commit fornication or adultery. This also includes watching vulgar and improper spectacles for entertainment. These days some TV channels and Internet sites show vulgarity which is tantamount to mental and visual fornication. Ahmadis should particularly shun these.
The tenth distinct quality of the servants of the Gracious God is that neither do they tell lies nor do they give false testimony. Huzur said falsehood plays a huge part in the decline of nations. Divine communities aspire to attain heights, if falsehood penetrates among them, then they do not remain God's special people. Ahmadis should employ 100% honesty in all their affairs and their testimonies. Huzur said, for example, in marital matters, during Nikah, it is asserted that Qawl e Sadid (the right word) should be employed. However, after the wedding ceremony is over, lies are told, friction sets in and eventually marriages break up for egotistical reasons and where children are involved, they suffer greatly. Huzur said he has drawn attention to this matter many times before. In order to honour the dues of God and the dues of mankind it is essential to shun falsehood.
The eleventh characteristic of the servants of the Gracious God is that they do not engage in vain, frivolous pastimes. Huzur said these include misuse of the Internet and some TV channels. Young girls and boys socialise together in groups, they go clubbing, go to concerts, all this is idle and frivolous for a believer. On one hand we take our bai'at and pledge to be servants of the Gracious God, on the other hand we indulge in these frivolous activities which are entirely destructive for morals. Vain and frivolous matters also include mutual conflicts or anything that destroys the peace of society.
The twelfth sign of the servants of the Gracious God is that they are not deaf and blind to the recitation of the Holy Qur'an. They hear it and they try to put it in practice in developing their spirituality. In order to become a servant of the Gracious God it is essential to practice all kinds of virtues, to put in practice anything that is said with reference to God and His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be on him).
The thirteenth distinctive quality of the servants of the Gracious God is that they pray that their spouses and children are a delight of their eyes. Huzur said this is a most significant principle for the permanence of the next generation. Along with obvious planning prayers should be made because good results only come from God. It is false to imagine that one's own efforts result in good upbringing of children. By virtue of God's quality of Rahmaniyyat (graciousness) some children may excel in worldly matters, but they may not be called servants of the Gracious God because God does not bestow the honour of righteousness unless one prays sincerely for the piety of one's children and also follows pious ways. Today parents are most concerned everywhere about the education of their children but less attention is given to spiritual matters. In the West, free rein has been given to children in the name of freedom. As a result children have developed extraordinary audacity. They do not tolerate any advice or counsel, let alone the parents be their Imam. Of late, voices have been raised about this excessive freedom given to children. In the West, institutions established for the welfare of children, simply remove children from their families if the families reprimand them or in some cases, the children threaten the parents of these institutions. A main reason for this is that the West is oblivious to the concept of prayer.
Huzur said it has come to his knowledge that a child was approached by other Muslim children who said to the child that you people do not believe in God but worship Satan. The child, in spite of being old enough, did not know how to answer, so kept quiet. Huzur said, this would have definitely given the impression that Ahmadis do not believe in God. Huzur said, some parents do not even give their children the very basic information. As regards early moral training, Huzur said he has said before that young girls should be made aware of the proper attire from the early age of four to five years old, rather than be suddenly told to change their ways in teenage years. Huzur said for good and proper upbringing of children it is conditional for the parents to be righteous and be servants of the Gracious God.
Huzur prayed that may God enable us to make a sincere connection with Him and may our inner-self be always clean and may we have the qualities that are necessary to make one a servant of the Gracious God, may God always make us a recipient of His eternal Paradise.
The Jumu'ah (Friday) prayer is one form of congregational worship in Islam. It takes place every Friday. Regular attendance at the Jumu'ah prayer is enjoined on the believer. According to a Saying of Muhammad(sa) this congregational prayer is twenty-five times more blessed than worship performed alone. (Bukhari)
"O ye who believe! When the call is made for Prayer on Friday, hasten to the remembrance of Allah, and leave off all business. That is best for you, if you only knew." more
"… (He who) offers the Prayers and listens quitely when the Imam stands up for sermon, will have his sins forgiven between that Friday and the next" (Bukhari)
