📒💠The Characteristics Of The Religion💠📓 ❖ Taken from : Fathu Rabba'l-Bariyyah bi Talkhisi'l-Hamawiyyah. ❖ by : Shaykhu'l-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah
❖ Shaykhu'l-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said:
❐ "The characteristics of the religion are two fundamentals: That we worship none but Allah; that we do not worship Him except with what He has legislated, we do not worship Him through innovations.
❐ Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) has said: "So whoever hopes for the Meeting with his Lord, let him work righteousness and associate none as a partner in the worship of his Lord." [al-Kahf 18/110]
❐ This is the actualization of the shahadatayn, the declaration that none has the right to be worshiped except Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) and the declaration that Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) is the Messenger of Allah.
❐ The first (declaration) denotes that we worship none but Him. The second (declaration) denotes that Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) is His Messenger, who conveys from Him and thus, it is upon us to believe the information that he relates and to obey him.
❐ He (i.e., the Prophet sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) showed us what to worship Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) with and prohibited us from newly invented matters and explained that this was deviation. Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) said:
❐ "Yes, but whoever submits his face (himself) to Allah (i.e., follows Allah's Religion of Islamic Monotheism) and he is a Muhsin (i.e., doer of good) then his reward is with his Lord, on such shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve." [al-Baqarah 2/112]
❐ Just as we are commanded to fear none but Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) , have tawakkul on none but Him, to invoke none but Him, to seek assistance from Him alone and that our worship be for none but Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala), likewise, we are also commanded to follow the Messenger (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam), obey him and emulate him. The lawful is that which he made lawful, the unlawful is that which he made unlawful and the Din is that which he legislated (under the dictates of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala).
❐ Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) says: "Would that they were contented with what Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) and His Messenger gave them and had said: Allah is Sufficient for us. Allah will give us of His Bounty, and (also) His Messenger (from alms, etc.). Indeed, it is Allah we implore (to enrich us)." [at-Tawbah 9/59]
❐ Hence Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) made (the issue of) bestowal to (both) Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) and the Messenger (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) , just as He said:
❐ "And whatsoever the Messenger (Muhammad) gives you, take it, and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it)." [al-Hashr 59/7]
❐ (In contrast) Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) made (the issue of) tawakkul upon him, Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) alone, when He said:
❐ "..Allah is Sufficient for us." [at-Tawbah 9/59]
❐ He did not say: "and His Messenger (is also sufficient)." Similarly, He said in description of the companions, May Allah be please with them, in another ayah:
❐ "Those (i.e., believers) unto whom the people (hypocrites) said: Verily, the people (pagans) have gathered against you (a great army), therefore, fear them. But it (only) increased them in Faith, and they said: Allah (Alone) is Sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposer of affairs (for us)." [Al-i Imran 3/173]
❐ Similar to this is His saying: "O Prophet (Muhammad)! Allah is Sufficient for you and for the believers who follow you." [al-Anfal 8/64]
❐ i.e., Allah is the one who suffices you and the believers who follow you. Allah says further:
❐ "Is not Allah Sufficient for His slave?" [az-Zumar 39/36]
❐ Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) then said: "They have purchased with the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah a little gain, and they hindered men from His Way; evil indeed is that which they used to do." [at-Tawbah 9/9]

I have no inside knowledge of a potential stock listing of the popular anti-Whatsapp messaging app, Telegram. But I know this much, judging by most people I talk to, especially crypto investors, if Telegram ever went public, people would gobble it up. I know I would. I’m waiting for it. So is Sergei Sergienko, who claims he owns $800,000 of Telegram’s pre-initial coin offering (ICO) tokens. “If Telegram does a SPAC IPO, there would be demand for this issue. It would probably outstrip the interest we saw during the ICO. Why? Because as of right now Telegram looks like a liberal application that can accept anyone - right after WhatsApp and others have turn on the censorship,” he says.
How Does Bitcoin Work?
Bitcoin is built on a distributed digital record called a blockchain. As the name implies, blockchain is a linked body of data, made up of units called blocks that contain information about each and every transaction, including date and time, total value, buyer and seller, and a unique identifying code for each exchange. Entries are strung together in chronological order, creating a digital chain of blocks. “Once a block is added to the blockchain, it becomes accessible to anyone who wishes to view it, acting as a public ledger of cryptocurrency transactions,” says Stacey Harris, consultant for Pelicoin, a network of cryptocurrency ATMs. Blockchain is decentralized, which means it’s not controlled by any one organization. “It’s like a Google Doc that anyone can work on,” says Buchi Okoro, CEO and co-founder of African cryptocurrency exchange Quidax. “Nobody owns it, but anyone who has a link can contribute to it. And as different people update it, your copy also gets updated.”
