Surah 45: Al-Jathiyah (The Kneeling) - Recited by Ahmed Abdelhamid Tahoun

Al-Jathiyah is the forty-fifth chapter of the Holy Qur'an, consisting of 37 verses. It is a Meccan Surah and the sixth of the "Hā Mīm" sequence. The Surah is named "The Kneeling" after the description of the Day of Judgment, when every community will be summoned and seen kneeling before God for judgment (Verse 28).

The core theme is the absolute clarity of God's signs (Ayat) in creation and in the Revelation, which leaves no excuse for disbelief. It contrasts the fate of those who reflect upon the signs with those who arrogantly reject them.

Key Themes in Surah Al-Jathiyah include:

* The Signs of God: Highlighting the clear signs in the heavens, the alternation of night and day, the rain that revives the earth, and the movement of the wind, all as irrefutable proofs of God's existence and power.
* The Condemnation of Arrogance: Strong warnings against those who arrogantly disregard God's signs and mock the Revelation.
* The Fate of Nations: The dramatic scene on the Day of Judgment where every nation will be brought forth to receive its record and kneel before the Divine Majesty.
* The Promise of Justice: Reaffirming that on that Day, justice will be done, and no one will be wronged.

Surah 45: Al-Jathiyah (The Kneeling)

purpose of miracles signs and wonders. Deeper meaning and purpose.

Miracles, Signs and Wonders

i have to take pills, keep me sane
i cant be free i can be chained
ill disapear just like ceeday
so i can hear on what she say
eyes dripping cutting onions and the garlic
90 on the 50 prolly reason why im carsick
sick of all these people i was talking to a marxist
everyone on strings, i was pulling on guitar picks

i cant live on
you brought me pain
i sing this song
your not the same
im in the wrong
you always blame
i hit the bong
you blow the blaze
   
i wanna call you all the time
i always fall for all your lies
gouge out my eyes until im blind
maybe then i might see the signs
my mental health is not the best
i wanna get this off my chest
ill pack my bags move out the west
so i can finally be at rest

i might see the signs

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
I thought I loved loving you
I mistook longing for love
I must do the laundry
The severity is dawning
The heart was faulty
Though it may seem daunting
The task is beyond me
Buried the body
Passing it still haunts me
Stuck in a cycle
The boring monotony
What is it I'm wanting
Indecisively walking

(Pre-Chorus)
I wish I would've walked away
But there was too much at stake
I couldn't take the risk
But I feel I made a mistake
Falling deep into hate
Letting anger awake
I wanna confess
Under all the stress
But I'd be taken away
Never to see the light of day

(Chorus)
Things that they say
They were never true
I don't trust myself
Even if it's proven true
I'm a selfish mess
That only god can attest
If only I was depressed
Determined for death

(Outro)
I wish I could go back
And change the past
Actions I've done
I'll never forget
All of the regret
It made me stressed
About their deaths
Linked to my debt
Signed in blood red
The soul contract
I tried to reject
But had no effect
No matter my intellect

Love Life

Lyrics:

In the quiet of dawn where the lost stars fade,
We search for a purpose our own hearts made.
Life whispers lessons in shadows and light,
A dance between daytime and dreaming at night.

We follow our questions like paths in the air,
We walk with our hope and we breathe with our fear.
Each moment we hold is a spark we protect,
A story of choices we carve and collect.

But death is a doorway, not darkness or doom,
A lantern blown out in a silent room.
It comes like a tide that returns to the sea,
A fall into arms where the soul feels free.

So cherish the days that your heartbeat sings,
The laughter, the love, and the loud thunderings
For purpose is found in the lives that we touch,
In giving, in growing, in meaning made much.

And when the last sunset dissolves into breath,
Let life be your poem and peace be your death.

Life Purpose

(Verse 1)
Clock hands spinning like a carousel ride,
Days slide by like a fast-moving tide.
Minutes collide, dreams coincide,
Life’s a wild rhythm we cannot divide.

(Chorus)
Time rolls, time strolls, time steals, time heals,
Turns the wheels of all our feels.
It breaks, reveals, it shakes, conceals,
Yet still it deals the life it seals.
The world appeals, our fate congeals—
And round and round that cycle reels.

(Verse 2)
Night becomes dawn in a flick of a glance,
Years disappear like they never had a chance.
We pace, advance, romance, enhance,
Then blink—another chapter’s in the past.

(Chorus)
(Repeat)

(Bridge)
Running through the seconds like a rush we can’t deny,
Trying not to wonder where the younger versions lie.
Every little heartbeat is a moment flying by—
And every fleeting question is another reason why.

(Final Chorus)
Time rolls, time flows, everybody knows—
No matter where it goes, it grows.
And though it never slows, it shows
A beauty only passing hours compose.

Time Rolls

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
I’ve been fighting with the mirror, but the truth’s still clearer,
Though the voice in my head gets nearer, whispering “you’re inferior.”
But I’m done with that tyrant, that violent, silent riot—
I won’t bow, won’t comply, won’t deny it—I defy it.

(Pre-Chorus)
Every shame, every blame, every cycle the same,
But I’m learning my n-n-name isn’t tamed with the pain.
I’m stepping out of the frame, out the echo chamber game—
Not a body to tame, I’m a flame, unashamed.

(Chorus)
I’m breaking free from the mirror’s lie,
From the hurricane hurt that I used to hide.
I’m done with the war that I fought inside—
Now I rise, now I fight, now I reclaim my light.
Yeah, I’m breaking free from the mirror’s lie,
And my heart gets stronger every time I try.

(Verse 2)
I was locked in a battle that nobody could see,
With a hunger for control that kept swallowing me.
But I’m stronger than the shadows and the scars on my skin,
Now I’m learning when to end and where I truly begin.

(Pre-Chorus)
All the shame, all the blame—yeah, I’m breaking the chain,
What once held me back in place won’t ever hold me again.
I’m rewriting the frame, taking back my domain,
This is healing, reclaiming, regaining my name.

(Chorus)
I’m breaking free from the mirror’s lie,
From the hurricane hurt that I used to hide.
I’m done with the war that I fought inside—
Now I rise, now I fight, now I reclaim my light.
Yeah, I’m breaking free from the mirror’s lie,
And my heart gets stronger every time I try.

(Bridge)
I’m more than the fear, more than the scars,
More than a number or the shape of my arms.
More than the whispers that cut like knives—
I’m a whole damn universe learning to thrive.

(Final Chorus)
I’m breaking free from the mirror’s lie,
When I breathe again, live again, won’t deny—
That the storm lost power when I chose to try.
Now I rise, now I shine, with the truth on my side.
Yeah, I’m breaking free from their lies,
And this time I swear, I’m keeping my light.

Break The Mirror

Lyrics:

I did things that I shouldn’t of done
My reasons don’t solve the problem
Right and wrong, the things that I’ve done
They will never ever be enough

We all make mistakes
Our destiny don’t wait
I hate me but I love you
I’ve said things I regret too
I have nothing left to prove
You already know the truth

Do you need me
Or do I need you
Is this like me
Or was it like you
I see the truth
I don’t want too

Will I ever be free
Or can I never leave
I feel stuck in slow motion
Created commotion
I’m losing my focus
Caught in my emotions

I left the door open
Just for it to be broken
The words left unspoken
Are just as potent
Enter the course of the culprit
To understand the motive

The scene that I see
Must have been made for me
The things that I see
They want to be seen
Our future is far
But the present bizarre

We lost love in our hearts
Replaced it for stars
Rating our parts
Separate disconnected apart
Will we reconnect or stay far
For the fear of the dark
Taking control of our hearts
This isn’t who we are

We push through
We make do
We do things
Even if we don’t want to
There’s always more to do
And less time to continue
I want to reach the solution
But I don’t need to
To love you

Lost At The Heart

Lyrics:

The things that I did
Things I’d never forget
Memories left it in bed
Wish it was make believe
Oh the beauty of dreams

I wish I could live forever
But I would never forgive
Myself my mind
People are not alike
They continue strife
What’s the point of life
If in the end we all die

I miss you
I loved you
Fell first for you
Won’t forget you
Did it all for you

Know what should I do
Now that I lost you
I’m longing to loose
To hope to see you
But it may not be true
I may just be doomed
Destiny still looms

Death will ensue
I pray I see you
Won’t know if I do
Or where to begin
Was it worth it in the end
Or was I not worthy at the end

Wont Forget

Helping Hands by Dark Company.
From CD 1, 'SNAFU', of the triple CD album 'A for Acronym'.

HELPING HANDS
Rhyming time in vacuumed lines
I hear the verses soaring
On angels' breath the words of death
Like fingers they’re exploring
I feel the beat of racing wings
I understand all these things
Yet they are gone by morning

Dreaming scenes in deadbeat schemes
All are on back burners
Spirit words that just I heard
Said all the souls are learners
I know the touch of tender love
I also know it’s not enough
You need the ground that’s firmer

Corporate kings and financial things
Beyond our understanding
You can’t own the open sky
Not even by demanding
I like to think of hands in prayer
Though they’re just another layer
No one is left commanding

Livid sky mirrored in my eye
White cloud billows floating
When I look round there is no sound
The silence it is choking
Oh see me, hear me, give me signs
Let me feel them in my mind
Tell me, lead me to Heaven’s end
Where all that’s left is hoping
Where all that’s left is hoping
Where all that’s left is hoping
Where all that’s left is hoping

FUN FACTS:
* This is a song that Pete never sang a proper studio version of.
* His vocals were lifted from the very rough demo and cleaned up a bit.
* Well, quite a lot actually. :)
* This song is a piece of classic rock in a Britpop style.
* It is in the key of E at 91 BPM.
* All the guitars were played on Nicodemus, with a big painful hole in the thumb of the player.
* The chords in the verses are E B E C#m A E F# A Am6 E.
* In the third verse Pete (accidentally) introduces an unexpected key-change.
* There the chords are E B E Ebm G# Ebm F# A Am6 E.
* The chords in the instrumental section are E C/G D/A.
* Right at the very end it is E C7 E.
* The bass part from the last verse to the end is far more challenging to play than it sounds
* This produced a surprised "Huh? How did THAT happen?!" face on the player.
* Helping Hands is one of those magikal Dark Company songs that can invoke goosebumps in the listener, perhaps slightly surprisingly.

* For DIY musicians:

Looking to grow your fanbase? Here's a proven strategy for success. It's a bit time-consuming at first because you need to work at it often. However, the awesome results will make it worth your while:

http://www.wudrecords.co.uk/miscellaneous/be-discovered-on-social-media

That article was published in March 2017. While some of the links may no longer work, the theory absolutely will. Try it for yourself!

* Unfortunately...

Due to brexshit, broken britain, rip-off britain, corruption, lies and bias in the media, bigotry, racism, intolerance, polarisation, the fact that some of our family members would not be allowed to remain post-brexit, state-sponsored child trafficking (yes, that's right, we said it - it's pretty shocking, start reading from here if you don't believe it: https://forced-adoption.com/), an increasing sense of frustration and exasperation, and general total weariness of being treated with nothing but derision, ignorance and contempt by the entire shebang since the early 80s, we decided enough was enough and moved our entire operation from brexeter in the uk to begin our grand brexodus in 2017. We are now brefugees, living in brexile very near the border of the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. If you live in (the crumbling remains of) the uk, do yourself a favour and leave. The upgrade in life quality will blow your mind.

* What do we stand for as a label?

We support all independent musicians who are doing something we find interesting. Our team members all have formal music education qualifications.

We are against corporate brainwash muzak, their puppet friends in the mass media, and many other corporate activities. We will fight their desecration of music until either it stops or we die. 

We believe in helping others in the face of corrupt laws and a broken system. We are pro democracy, green energy and free speech.

We're politically liberal. We cannot support the republicans, maga or gun violence in the usa. We don't see there's any real difference, other than in name, between the christian far right in the USA and the taliban in Afghanistan.

In the uk we are broadly pro LibDem/Green/Labour/SNP. We are VERY anti-tory, bnp, ukip, and any of their friends and associates. We have no trust at all in the uk right wing press monopoly and the bbc. Beware the bbc and its claims of neutrality. It is the propaganda mouthpiece of the tory party. It even charges a propaganda tax called the licence fee. But we like Test Match Special and Radio 6, so does that make us hypocrites...? Hmm.

We support independence for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We support the individual and the underdog. We are anti-putin and his war, and pro-Ukraine.

Please notice the careful use of capitals. Capital letters imply respect!

We're only interested in the colour of your soul. Not your skin, hair or socks.

We like cricket! Most of us support Somerset County Cricket Club.
